MEDICAL CONTRACT SIGNED BY RECTOR

Charles H. Tompkins Co. Suc- cessful Bidders — Didden in Charge of Architectural Work —Apostolic Delegate to Lay Cornerstone.

On Thursday last the Reverend Rector of the University, W. Coleman Nevils, S.J., signed the contract for the construc- tion work on Georgetown's new Medical and Dental structure. The work has been awarded to Charles H. Tompkins Co., a firm which, at present, is one of the most prominent in the local field. The Tomp- kins firm was the builder for the new Washington filtration plant and has been designer and builder for some of the largest reinforced concrete buildings in the District. At present they are construct- ing a new structure for Garfinkle & Co.

The architect for the new building is George H, Didden, who last year designed the new wing of the Georgetown Univer- sity Hospital. The contract for the plumbing and heating has been let to Casey Engineering Co., also a local concern, and E. Frank Heim has been re- tained as consulting engineer. The electrical work will be handled by Edward C. Gramm, another local contractor. Mr. Casey, of Casey Engineering Co., is a

DOMESDAY STAFF IN FINAL DRIVE

February 15 Latest Date for Orders—Book Portrays George- town as Theatre and Contains Many New Features—Delivery Set for May.

The editorial staff of Ye Domesday Booke, the Georgetown annual, has just about completed its work on this year's issue, and now the business staff has started its most important work of securing subscriptions.

An intensive drive for orders has com- menced throughout the University and will last till February 10. The latest date that subscriptions will be accepted is February 15. The reason that no orders will be taken after that date is that the printer must have two months to prepare the covers, and must know the number of copies to be prepared.

The price of the Domesday Booke this year is $7. This may seem rather high, but it costs $10 to print one copy. The only way for the staff to make up the deficit is either to push the circulation well over the 1,000 mark, or to secure an unusual amount of advertising. All orders must be accompanied by a deposit of $3 at least, with the balance due on delivery.

The publication will contain many new features, chief among them a section devoted to the "Mile Path," that walk famous for its beauty. In this year's book


REV. JOHN FRISCH, S.J., Who, on last Saturday, took his final

vows into the Society of Jesus.

PROFESSOR PARES SPEAKS ON SOVIET

Father Walsh to Introduce Noted English Authority — Eleven Years of Bolshevism to Be Sub- ject of Discourse—Initial Lec- ture Arouses Favorable Com- ment.

"Eleven Years of Bolshevism-Soviet Russia in 1929" will be the subject of this evening's lecture, the second of the series on "The Meaning of the Russian Revo- lution," which were inaugurated last Thursday evening by Rev. Edmund A. Walsh, S.J. The speaker at this time will be Sir Bernard Pares, director of the School of Slavonic Studies of Lon- don University.

Professor Pares is one of the foremost authorities on Russia. He has spent many years in Russia both before and after the Revolution, and has been employed by his government, Great Britain, on many confidential missions to Russia. His writings on this subject, which indeed are very numerous, are recognized among the best on account of his reliability and experience.

Professor Pares arrived in Washing- ton Monday and has delivered several lectures to the members of the Foreign Service School. Tonight's address will be the only one open to the general public. Father Walsh will begin the lecture with a brief resume and will introduce Sir Bernard Pares. There is no doubt but that this lecture will provide an interesting evening.

JUNIOR PROM TOMORROW MARKS PEAK OF COLLEGE SOCIAL SEASON

Mayflower Orchestra to Hold Sway in Adjoining Rooms—Tea Dance Saturday Afternoon in Willard Ballroom—Favors Are of Unusual Design.

On Friday, February 8, the Carlton Hotel, 16th and K Sts., will be the scene of Georgetown's big social event of the year, the Junior Prom.

The two bands, which will furnish the music in the two connecting ball rooms, are the best of Sidney's justly renowned orchestras.

Sidney himself will conduct a ten-piece orchestra in the main ballroom, while one of seven pieces will hold sway in the adjoining patio. The Sidney orchestra broadcasts regularly through Station WRC, and is probably the finest in Washington.

On Saturday the Tea Dance, held in conjunction with the prom, will take place at the Willard, from 4 o'clock to 7. Sid- ney, with a fifteen-piece orchestra, will furnish the music.

All signs seem to point toward a capacity crowd.

The prom committee has secured the services of some really good entertainers who will do their part toward making the evening enjoyable for those who attend.

The favors, which are very unique, may be secured on the afternoon of the dance from Room 71, New North, on the presentation of prom tickets. They may not be secured at the door on Friday evening.

For admission to both the Junior Prom on Friday evening and to the Tea Dance at the Willard on Saturday the fee will be $12.50. For the prom alone it will be $10, and for the tea alone, $3.

FR. JOHN FRISCH TAKES FINAL VOWS

Mass Celebrated by Father Nevils—Ceremony Impressive in Its Simplicity.

On Saturday morning, the Feast of the Purification of our Blessed Lady, in Dahlgren Chapel in the presence of the Reverend Rector of the College, Father John Frisch, Professor of Biology at Georgetown College, pronounced his final vows in the Society of Jesus. The ceremony was severely simple, being attended by the members of the faculty and some representatives of the student body. The Mass of the Vows was said by Fr. Nevils and the music was rendered by Brother Crough, S.J., officiating at the organ, and Mr. Kenneth Nettles, of the Georgetown University Orchestra, on the violin.

VISITS UNIVERSITY Distinguished Educators Inspect

College—Entertained with an Informal Musicale.

All Officers Elected Except Vice- President at Special Meeting— Wenzler and Perlitz to Debate Against Lieberman and Lynch at Next Meeting.

On Monday evening, February 4, the college was visited by a distinguished group of Argentine educators who came as the guests of the Rev. W. Coleman Nevils, S.J., president of Georgetown University. The Argentine visitors, under the auspices of the newly-created Argentine-American Cultural Institute, are visiting a number of the larger cities of the United States. Members of the Foreign Service faculty were also among the visitors, as were the officials of the Pan-American Union.

The guests assembled in the Carroll parlor where, in the absence of Father Nevils, they were received and welcomed by Rev. Edmund A. Walsh, S.J., vice- president of the University. Here they divided into several groups for the purpose of inspecting some of the various features of the college. They were shown the Hirst Library and the Philodemic room, containing portraits of many of Georgetown's famous alumni. Some of the groups visited the observatory, then

The Philodemic Debating Society, which has been inactive, due to repetition and exams, held a special meeting on Tuesday evening in the Philodemic Room, for the purpose of electing new officers for the second semester.

The men elected to office were edward Cavanaugh, President; Bernard Maloney, corresponding secretary; Chas. P. Maloney, treasurer; William Platt, recording secretary; Ernest Duhaime, censor. The office of the vice-president has not been filled, because of the members casting a tie vote between Quinn and McGuire.

These men are well fitted for office because many have acted in the same capacity previously. Messrs. Edward Cavanaugh, Bernard Maloney, and Chas. P. Mahoney have been reelected to their respective offices.

The subject to be debated at the next meeting is: Resolved, That the United States should join the League of Nations. Messrs. Wenzler and Perlitz are representing the affirmative; Lieberman and Lynch are to uphold the negative.

AN EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY.

A very appreciable amount of editorial comment has appeared in the columns of THE HOYA from time to time relative to the advantages of Georgetown, and also to the many educational opportunities that accrue from its location in the Capital City. It is questionable if this effort on the part of the editors has produced any decided results. There seem to be many students who are still of the opinion that the only advantage of attending school in Washington is the possibility of wit- nessing more than two moving picture shows in the same week-end, as is only possible in many small, although historical, college towns.

It is a peculiar trait in human nature that sometimes causes one, who has his heart set on reaching a final goal, to become so absorbed in the contemplation of the desired attainment as to be blinded to the many aids that stand at his command ready to help in the achievement of his objective. Every student who has enrolled in the University has done so, at least in theory, for the expressed purpose of ob- taining an education. He should, accordingly, grasp every opportunity that is presented him to aid in the attainment of the objective which he himself has selected.

On last Thursday night in Gaston Hall, Dr. Edmund A. Walsh, S.J., began his winter series of seven lectures on "The Meaning of the Russian Revolution." That the lecturer is skillful, interesting, and well-informed is an accepted fact to every one conversant with Georgetown's affairs in recent years. The popularity of such a disputed historical subject as discussed by Father Walsh was made evident by the exceptionally large audience that greeted the speaker in the initial lecture.

Braving the accusation of triteness for the sake of being to the point, it was observed that the students of the University were noticeable by their absence. This was due, no doubt, in great part to the mid-year examinations that were being conducted in most schools of the University during the past week. But, be that as it may, every student should avail himself of the educational opportunity offered by the Foreign Service School. Such an opportunity, once neglected, cannot be gained

at another time.

"Comparatively Excellent Stuff."—Abbe Ernest Dimnet's book, "The Art of Thinking," carries one item, at least, of particular interest to college journalists—an interest that may be extended to all their fellow students, in fact. Says Abbe Dimnet:

"The school newspaper is a good newspaper, but that is damning praise, for a good newspaper is not literary and a school newspaper ought to be preeminently that."

Forgetting that "distance lends enchantment to the view," I feel that, in fairness, personal application of the rule may be made only to our contemporaries. In this case, then, I find (in my limited experience) that Abbe Dimnet is borne out—the most literary amongst our exchanges is the most wretched from the standpoint of jour- nalism. Abbe Dimnet states that he was "quite impressed . . . and realized that a staff of boys . . . was responsible for what is comparatively excellent stuff."

Which to my mind seems to be Twentieth Century vindication of Qunitus Horatius Flaccus and his "in media stat virtus." Even a reader who seeks true literary style throughout a school paper (and would that THE HOYA might possess such, starting with its editorials!) might well be pardoned for losing patience with a college paper whose format supplies a continual irritant for the eye and its attendant nerves.

Brain Makes the Front Pages.—Even the journals whose clientele demands murder, mud and malfeasance with its meals have made a slight departure during the past week. A subject of world importance has forced to inside pages some news stories that may fit into the trinity of the above category. And despite times and customs, the achievement is one of mere brain. Every reader of newspapers is aware (from headlines at least) of the fact that Professor Albert Einstein has completed a new set of experiments. The great public of American headline-devourers must find itself in the class of the peer in Gilbert and Sullivan's "Iolanthe"—a great admirer of brains; in fact frequently wishing that it had some itself.

An eminent scientist has stated that there are hardly more than six men in the world today capable of understanding the writings of Professor Einstein. If anyone thinks that he makes a seventh I have but to invite him to peruse even the very simplified edition of the "Einstein Theory on Gravitation and Electro-Magnetism contrasted with Older Field Theories." But since I heard, two years ago, the man who is perhaps the most outstanding figure in the world of science on the Georgetown campus, says of the Einstein Theory of Relativity: "I read four pages of it and got a frightful head- ache," we need not consider ourselves hopelessly ignorant.

In observing the publicity being given to the mental accomplishments of Professor Einstein, one may very well observe more than so much type. The story that tells of the "flight from publicity" of the Einstein family from Berlin to Fromen Wannsee might be likened to the star pitcher of a professional team leaping from a train and clambering through a freight yard, rather than meet the enthusiastic mob waiting in the station to greet him. And in awe and wonder I think of a day in the future when a man of brain is to receive world-wide acclaim (during his life) at least comparable, to that accorded the divorce case of a motion picture actress.

Ambassadors to the Campus.—America's wealth of institutions of higher education continue to attract students from beyond our nation's borders, whether for matriculation or only observation of methods. One of the countries whose student delegations have most recently visited Georgetown is the Republic of Argentina. The past week saw the towered hill playing host to this delegation, accomplished by His Excellency the Ambassador of the Argentine to the United States.

The reception was featured by musical entertainment—and one of the factors in this program was a double octette chosen from the University Glee Club. The mem-' bers of the club were afforded an opportunity, after having offered several selections, of meeting the Argentine delegates.

In appearance, they might have been our classmates—except for the fact that a certain distinctiveness of courtly manner (the heritage of the Castilian) accompanied them. It afforded the president of the Glee Club and myself no little pleasure to be able to extend to two of these young gentlemen the poor hospitality of our rooms for an all too brief period. Here Seuors Eduardo and Ramon met some other classmates and were invited to "make themselves at home." They enjoyed that invitation—it was a new idiom, recently learned; they assured us. Eduardo informed me that all his post cards sent back to Buenos Ayres bore two words: "O. K." and "Whooppee I" He laughed at the prospect of being met at the boat by many friends—recipients of these cards—and importuned for a "translation" of these new terms.

We filled the very short space of time with questions to each other. Spanish inter- pretations between our guests clarified much of the American collegians' phraseology which has become more than merely idiomatic, and between their really splendid command of English and our own delegation's rather faltering French, conversation never lagged. A pipe rack and a bookcase, both quite overfilled, were observed—and questions as to the proportionate use of each (and the consequent devotion to or disregard of the proverbial midnight oil) were propounded by the Senors ("Ed" and "Ray" to us by this time, you may well conclude). Our reply in concord set them both laughing. "With us it is the same thing!" they replied, and repeated that sentiment when observing the evidences of the contents of dinner-jacket pockets set forth for the con- sumption of those who kept the corridor mazdas burning during our absence. (For I hold him so much the less a man who forgets, in his hour of feasting under such circumstances, the roommate who scorns neither the caramel nor the salted pecan, nor yet the largess of tobacco.) Said Ramon as he accepted one each of the offered com-' modities: "Students are the same the world over ..."

Reluctantly our four bade them farewell, but only after they had responded to a "Hoya" given earlier that evening with a cheer of their own Alma Mater—one that might well be the pattern for many American colleges. Then, as their car started to make the turn about Founder's Statue, Eduardo shouted a farewelll: "OK. W. Whooppee!"

And so to bed, thinking that the United States may well depend upon the Eduardos and Ramons of Latin America to further the Pan American good will which is of such vital concern to us all.

THE HOYA

Titles of books arc, or at least should be, chosen with an eye to the effect that they will have on the prospective buyer. Thus it is that we have titles of books, as well as of "movies," which have little or nothing to do with the subject treated. Most titles, however are not misleading, but are selected with a view toward attracting the attention of more than one class of readers. For example, last week we secured from Hirst Library, a novel entitled: "What Priests Never Tell." The cover is rather flashy, and bears merely the name of Will W. Whalen as the author. Every- one who has entered the room has at once picked up the book, and inquired as to its nature. They have tried to borrow the book, in fact, some have even walked out with it, but when they either see, or are informed that the prefix "Rev." should precede the author's name, their interest flags somewhat.

While speaking of titles of books, the subject of typographical errors, and of unconscious humor in newspapers, comes naturally to mind. There have been many interesting articles written describing typographical errors and the libel suits resulting therefrom. Unconscious humor is more frequent than typographical error. For example, in one of the earlier issues of this publication, the election of the Freshman Class president was announced in the none-too felicitous words: "Canning Freshman President." More recent was the headline announcing that a member of the boxing team had "Won Bout with Ease." Humorists wondered who Ease, the unfortunate opponent, was representing. There was another amusing slip made in a recent news report, which the eagle eye of the proof-reader caught before the paper reached the students. In a write-up of the Glee Club Concert, the type setter had placed the unusual information that a violin solo, "Dead Old Pal O'Mine," had been played.

The cream of the lot, however, was a recent head over a continued story to the effect that the Russian lecture would be given in "Gas Hall."

SUBTLE NOTE ON ENGLISH LITERATURE

Sonnets ivrittcn according to the Italian form ivere the best, because they all had the "breaks."

Music and sports are in many respects at the extremes of opposition to each other. Particularly are football and symphony concerts opposed to each other. Yet, last Wednesday, the Boston Symphony Orchestra presented in Washington, a musical description of a game that is akin to football, in fact, its English equivalent, Rugby. This symphonic scherzo was composed by one of the modern French composers, Honcgger, a modernist, who has already described the powerful modern locomotive in an earlier composition called "Pacific 231." The composition begins with a chord which may be taken for the kick-off. Then the piece continues, sometimes in a rather humorous vein, alternating with a rushing, furious, rhythm, which expresses so well the spirit and action of the football game, until it comes to a conclusion as abrupt as is the conclusion of the average football game. Perhaps in the future we will get our thrills from the phonograph, or in the concert hall, rather than cramped in a bleacher seat, on a cold, overcast day.

In a recent issue of this paper, we made some passing remark to the effect that past years had led us to believe that the title of our year-book bore more than a casual reference to its date of publication... There were some who took this little quip to heart. It sorrowed them, for some peculiar reason. Yet the testimony of former years is with us. Had we the eloquence of a Burke, we might be able to tell you of the countless days we spent last May eagerly await- ing our long-promised copy of the book. We might also be able to tell you of the long Tuesday nights we spent in the Hoya room, writing such optimistic heads as the following: "Domesday Booke Goes to Press," "Domesday Booke to Appear on Campus Soon," ad infinitum. And then, on the day before we left for home last year, the word went buzzing through the corridors: "The Domes- day Booke is Here!" Half fearing that the report was false, we crept down the stairs and received the book just in time to pack it in our bag, and run for the train. Of course, that was last year!

This apparition appeared at the collcnc during events of unusual importance. After the events were over, "he Neare Vert" silently and suddenly disappeared, and ivas not seen again until some other event of importance was scheduled.

CHINESE INSTRUCTOR APPOINTED TO F. S.

DR. HEALY ENTERTAINS LA SOCIETE FRANCAISE

Oriental Scholar, Chung-Fu Chang, to Conduct Class in Chinese—Addition in Harmony with Expansion of Far Eastern Affairs.

Members Guests of Dr. and Mrs. Healy at Supper—Marcus Daly Wins Prize for Extemporane- ous Speech.

In line with its policy to expand its activities on Far Eastern affairs, the School of Foreign Service of George- town University has just appointed as instructor in the Chinese language at the School Mr. Chung-Fu Chang. Mr. Chang is a graduate of Tsing-Hua Col- lege in Peking, and after leaving that institution came to the United States under government scholarship, took courses at the University of Michigan where he graduated, later studied at Harvard Uni- versity Graduate School, receiving from that institution the degree of Master of Arts. Since that time he has been com- pleting his work as a candidate for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Johns Hopkins University. He has been engaged in special research study on the Anglo-Japanese Alliance. While in China he was associate editor for the Commercial Press of Shanghai, China.

The School of Foreign Service, because of its international aspect, lays great stress on the necessity of gaining a practical speaking, reading and writing knowledge of modern languages and in the curriculum is covered most of the major modern languages. The Chinese course under Mr. Chang will be designed to give the students a practical working knowledge of the Chinese language. The course will specialize on Mandarin Chi- nese, which is used extensively in educational and official circles of China. Many of the graduates in the School in the past have taken up positions in China and the Far East, and hence it is felt this new course on the Chinese language will be of particular practical value to the students in the School. The School also gives a course on the Far East as an Export Field under the direction of Mr. Charles Moser, chief of the Far East Section of the Department of Commerce. Associ- ated with Mr. Moser in this work is Mr. Emmett Chapman, also of the Far East Section of the U. S. Department of Com- merce.

Arrangements are now being completed for a new special series of lectures on the cultural, social, and political life of China, together with its history.

The mid-year meeting of La Societe Francaise was held last Wednesday evening at the home of Dr. Thomas H. Healy, the assistant dean of the School of For- eign Service. A very informal program was carried out.

A prize, a book donated by Dr. James Brown Scott and Dr. Thomas H. Healy, faculty of the International Law Depart- ment of the School, for the less active member of La Societe who should, at this meeting, make the best impromptu speech, was awarded to Mr. Marcus Daly. Mr. Daly took as his topic the recent Bal Boheme at the Willard. The president of the societe, Mr. Leo P. Hogan, and the president honoraire, Lieut. Jean J. Lebat, acted as judges.

Any student of the Foreign Service School (morning classes) who desires to join la societe should make application at once to the president, Mr. Hogan, or should attend the next meeting—the "when" and "where" of which will be posted during the week on the bulletin board at the school.

The students of the Foreign Service School express their gratification through THE HOYA for these greetings sent them by the Law School Stu- dents :

of John Carroll, the students of Georgetown Law School send cordial good wishes to their comrades, the students of the School of Foreign Service, congratulating them on the completion of ten years in the life of their School. May the School of For- eign Service always continue to exhibit, in a vital way, the purity and unselfishness of Carroll's idea of a University.

PERCY WILLIAMS AN ALL ROUND ATHLETE

Canadian Ace Not Bothered by Indoor Track—Can Concen- trate on a Short Sprint—Ball Not Able to Adapt Indoor Style—Wide Out for Two-Mile Championship.

By ERIK KJELLSTROM, '30.

Percy Williams, the Canadian Olympic champion, is one of the few foreign sprinters who have been able to display their real ability on an indoor track. Williams won at Boston in the 40-yard dash, perhaps through a lucky break, perhaps through his eminent capacity as a sprinter. I presume that most every track student did regard 40 yards as being entirely too short for Mr. Williams. _ It was expected that his brilliant finish, which he so convincingly made use of in the Olympic races, could not come to its full right at such a race as the 40-yard dash, but still he seemed to know how to concentrate in a spurt whatever the distance may be. Mr. Gustavus T. Kirby, chairman, Intercollegiate Finance Com- mittee, in his writings about the Olympic Games in the Intercollegiate Olympic Journal, says: "* * * It is not only 'perhaps,' but it is a fact, that they (the American representatives in track _ and field) were up against stiffer competition, better competitors and faster men than they expected to meet. And, at least in the Canadian Williams, they were up against a man who could run on anything from a smooth cinder track to a ploughed field." Mr. Gustavus T. Kirby is quite right about Williams. The Olympic track was by no means fast and it required considerable adaptability to show one's best there, and perhaps that is the reason why only a few succeeded. But Williams did! And now he seems to be one of the very few foreigners that without due indoor training and preparation have shown their real worth. This Boston race, however, is no final judgment on America's sprinters, and the domestic sprint brand with Karl Wildermuth at the top will probably succeed in winning in the coming meets over their famed opponent from distant Vancouver. I really do think that it will be mighty hard for Williams to conquer Karl when Karl comes on his mother's street, his favorite 60-yard dash!

Ball, the Canadian quarter-miler, was as certainly predicted to win the Olympic 400-meter flat as Morgan Taylor was to win the 400- meter hurdle, but finished a poor fourth last Saturday night in Bos- ton. He is merely another example to the decided difference between indoor and outdoor competition. If he has not previously practiced indoor competition, I feel rather certain that he is going to have considerable difficulty to win even one single race of the ones he is to take part in while touring the Eastern indoor meets. T suppose that Adrian Paulen, of Hol- land, and Houben, of Germany, can tell the same stories of experience from indoor competition as will this Canadian ace. Neither Houben nor Paulen did exceptionally well on the indoor boards, but they took their revenge when they met their indoor conquerors on outdoor tracks!

Wide has turned in his entry blank for the National Indoor Championships and it tells us thai he is out to win the 2-milc championship. As far as I have seen, Ntirmi has not, up to the writing of this article, made up his mind officially whether he is to challenge Wide on this distance or if he is to run only the one- mile event. Evidently Nurmi has not ex- erted himself too much in his races up to

.date this season. It looks more as if he is using these indoor meets as a part of

GALLAUDET BOWS TO GEORGETOWN 42 TO 29

The 1928 All-American athletic teams, selected annually for Spalding's Athletic Almanac, by Daniel J. Ferris, secretary-treasurer of the Amateur Athletic Union, included Karl Wildermuth, as champion in the 60-yard run. The Hilltop has long known of the superiority of the little sprinter in the 60-yard distance, and is proud to see Karl's ability recognized as it deserves. Despite his recent defeat by the world star, Percy Williams, in the 40-yard dash, we believe that it is only a matter of time before Wildermuth will attain supremacy.

* * * * * The Hilltop will be represented in the classy Millrose A. A. Meet, in New

York, Saturday. Wildermuth will probably run in the sprints, while Jim Kennedy will compete in the mile. Georgetown will also send a mile relay team to the meet. Just who will compose the team is not known, but the squad will probably be composed of O'Shea, Whalen, Hoctor, Gorman or Cosh. The track- sters are rounding into shape now, and will have to be reckoned with despite the smallness of the squad.

***** Tony Plansky, former G. U. track and football star, has been signed by the

Boston Braves. He plans to train with the club at St. Petersburg, Fla., to see whether he can make the grade as a righ-handed pitcher, or an outfielder. Plansky has never played much baseball, but with his all-around ability should be able to develop into a great player. Tony, three-time winner of the American decathlon championship, was signed by Fred Mitchell on the strong recommen- dation of Coach O'Reilly. The Hilltop mentor is of the opinion that Plansky, if he had had time to practice, would have developed into the best right-handed pitcher in collegiate circles. Here's luck to you, Tony!

Georgetown leads the District basketball teams in points scored. The Hill- top quint is far out in front with a total of 428 points. Gallaudet is next with 333. The figures also show the defensive power of the Blue and Gray squad. Our team has scored 114 markers more than its opponents. Cosgrove, of Gal- luadet, is leading point gatherer, but Mesmer and Dutton, of Georgetown, are not far behind.

*****

The bright spot in the Boston A. A. Games, held last Saturday, as regards Georgetown performances, was the great showing made by Karl Wildermuth, the crack sprinter from the Hilltop. His stellar performance against Percy Williams, Canada's double sprint winner at the past Olympics, stands out as one of the sensations of the present indoor season. In the special 40-yard dash. Karl finished by mere inches behind the Canadian flash, with Jimmy Dalv, of Holy Cross, coming in a good third. Williams, with a fast start, maintained the lead through, and just beat our Wildermuth's challenge at the tape. The Blue and Gray mile relay team, in a special race against New York University, trailed the Violet quartet in a fast and close race. Ed O'Shea, the lead-off man for Georgetown, turned over a 12-yard lead to Ray Whelan, who, lacking a sprint on the last lap, was overtaken by Warwick. Jerry Gorman did not lose any pround to Veit, one of the star members of the relay. On the last leg Eddie Hoctor made a gallant effort to overtake Phil Edwards, but the lead at the out- set was too great a handicap for Eddie to overcome against such a great runner as Edwards.

Georgetown's football team has again been honored, this time by the Veteran Athletes Association of Philadelphia. They presented the Governor Alfred E. Smith trophy to the Blue and Grav eleven for being one of the six teams of championshit) calibre in the East. The troDhv was presented to Georgetown at the_ Association's banquet, held in Philly during the first part of this week, at which Lou Little, Jim Mooney, and Jerry Carroll were invited guests.

It looks as if Coach O'Reilly is set on developing young Jim Kennedy into a top-notch miler. The Frosh runner has alreadv raced in three or four meets. And in them all he has met prominent stars. Kennedy has a fine style of running, and, though he lost last week to Phil Edwards by 40 yards, great things can be expected from him in the future. The trackster possesses possibilities and the Silver Fox can always bring out ability.

Hilltop Team Off Form—Meenan Plays Nice Defensive Game— Mesmer and Dutton High Scorers — Frosh Have Hard Time Defeating Tech.

Showing flashes of brilliant speed, Georgetown downed Gallaudet last night, 42 to 29. The Hilltop quint was not up to its usual form, but was good enough to block all threats of opposition, and to stage short rallies itself. Meenan played a great defensive game, while Mesmer and Dutton were garnering points for the Blue and Gray. Cosgrove, Ringle and Lyer starred for Gallaudet.

The little Blue and Gray captain proved himself to be death on long shots. Uncovered only for a second, Messmer would loop the ball in from the center of the court. But Lyer, of Gallaudet, also had a sure eye. Before George- town was aware of his shooting ability, he had sunk three goals in from the half-way distance. A little concentra- tion, however, and he was promptly squelched.

The Hilltoppers took the lead at the start on goals by Messmer and Dillon. Ringle scored two points for the opposition. Mesmer dropped one in on a pass from Dutton. Ringle again rang up 2 points. McCarthy dropped one in from under the basket. Dutton followed with a foul shot.

On the tap from center, I.yer dribbled down for a pretty goal. Cosgrove and Ringle rang up 4 points. Meenan and Shea were rushed in for Dillon and Dunn. Dutton going to center. Don made two fouls good. Shea dropped in a nice one from the side, giving the Hilltop a 3-point lead. Gallaudet took time out. Shea and Messmer accounted for four more points, Mesmer scoring on a spec- tacular shot with one hand.

I.yer looped one in from the center. Hal Meenan made a foul good. Shea followed with another. A beautiful goal by Drapiewski was followed by one each from Dutton and Mesmer, ending the half. Score, 23 to 14.

The last half was a repetition of the first. Gallaudet never threatened George- town's lead, though at one time they rallied and brought the score to 33 to 25. The Hilltop quint soon put on a hurst of speed and drew away from the defeated team.

In the preliminary game the Yearlings had a stiff time downing Tech's five. The Frosh couldn't seem to get going, scoring only 1 point in the first quarter. The final score was 22 to 18.

BASKETBALL SQUAD JOURNEYS NORTH

Meets New York A. C. and N. Y. U. on Successive Dates—En- gages Johns Hopkins at Balti- more—Team Out to Beat N. Y. U.—Regular Line-up Will Be Used.

The Blue and Gray basketball squad journeys north to play against New York A. C. and New York University on Fri- day and Saturday of this week, respec- tively.

Little is known of the strength of the Big City's A. C, but much is known of the power of N. Y. U. That Violet machine has already defeated the Hilltop quint once this year. But they did so only by the closest of margins, George- town having started a plucky rally in the second half that almost threw the N. Y. U. team off its feet.

The Voilet quint is out to be the five that has defeated us twice in succession. And nothing can stop a team that has the spirit to win.

On Tuesday of next week Georgetown goes to Baltimore, practically certain of repeating its victory over Johns Hopkins. Two weeks ago the Blue and Gray five completely swamped the Blue Jays, 58 to 20.

It is expected that Coach Ripley will use the same line-up that has been put into the games of the last few weeks. I )illon, Meenan, Mesmer, McCarthy, Dut- ton, Dunn and Shear are the likely ones to carry on the reputation of the Blue and Gray.

FROSH BEAT PLEBES IN TIGHT AFFAIR

Hilltop Quint Wins in Extra Ses- sion—Close Game Throughout —Gannon and Larson High Scorers—McGuire and Keyes Star for Navy.

The Georgetown Yearlings, by breaking a tie in the extra session, defeated the Navy Academy Plebes, 50 to 42, at An- napolis Saturday. The game was the best played on that court this season.

The Navy led at the end of the first quarter by 6 to 5, and at the end of the half by 7 to 14. The fine shooting of Lar- son and Monihan enabled the Frosh to catch up in the third quarter. The period ended in a tie, 17 to 17.

Each team scored 13 points in the fourth quarter, McGuire and Fraser leading for the Navy and Gannon scoring re- peatedly on long shots for the Hilltop Yearlings.

At the beginning of the extra period Larson scored from the floor for George- town, and Keys evened the score by si looting from the side for a Navy goal. Georgetown then ran wild, Bozek, Gan- non, Larson and King tossing them in in succession, giving the Blue and Gray a decisive lead at the end of the final period.

HAVE YOU NOTICED? By GEORGE ROTHBROOK PEGLER

He's without a par in the section, says the Middle Atlantic Tennis Associa- tion, about our Emmet Pare. It takes two to make a pair, but there is only one Pare.

* * * * *

Speaking about Pare, we noticed that he and his little playmate, Freddy Mesmer, rated the third best doubles team. Now, that's a pair—of aces.

Tony Plansky has been signed by the Boston Braves, who want to see how many planks he can knock off the fences this year. Best of luck to one of the best football, baseball, track-and-field, and golfing athletes that old Mother Hoy a has seen leave her walls in a long time.

The G. U.-Navy boxing meet comes off next Saturday. It ought to be meat for the Tars, who take their fighting seriously, and have been at the game a long time. As the old rag goes: "Ten thousand gobs lay down their swabs to fight one sick Marine." But we didn't have any desire to see the world.

Con O'Kelly and Jim Maloney—two names that warm the hearts of the gallery gods. But they might just as well have been little Lord Fauntleroy and Harold Teen. Punks, bums, hams—ye just can't find the word that fits the entire crop of present-day heavy-weight resin kissers.

The Joke-of-the-Month-Club says this is the best: Tom Heeney's manager claims the heavy-weight crown for his brave lad. Say, Tom, don't you remember the eleventh round of the last fight of yours, or don't you want to remember it? A champ's got to be able to do more than take it, 'cause it's bad to be taking it all the time.

*****

National Spring Champion at 60 yards. A big title for a little man, but he's only small in size. Connally, H olden, Plansky, and Wildermuth—that's a quartet for you.

*****

Germany's entrant into the bemuddled heavy-weight lists who has been variously dubbed the "Swinging Saurkraut," the "Ferocious Frankfurter," the "Biffing Berliner," the "Hammering Heiny," the "Hurting Hun," et al and cetera, has won, at least in our humble opinion, the love of the word-monging profes- sion. But, as far as the heavy-title is concerned—well, that's another story. It would be a shame to put him in the ring with some of the "Logical Contenders," even though he did make Risko take the floor. We just don't fight like these Europeans.

*****

The former president of our neighbor, G. W. U., who now occupies a similar role at Lafayette, makes an ardent plea that coaches be removed from the side- lines during a contest, that captains be elected rather than appointed by the coach, that the captain run the team on the field rather than just be honored with a big 1 on the back of his jersey. Glad to know, Dr. Lewis, that there are two men in the country who hold the same opinion.

He is entered for the mile race in the Millrose Games this coming Saturday, and if he is in condition to produce a time under the 4:15 mark, he is evidently prepared for a 2-mile race against Wide that won't stop very far above the 9-minute mark—perhaps it won't even reach that high!

"Onward the Light Brigade—Oh, what a charge they made." Tex's 600 (millionaires) seem to have decided that Sharkey would do enough broadcasting the 27th, and so have forbidden the fight to be broadcast via the radio. Wonder what perfected television will have them doing in a couple of years?—spasms, p'rhaps. *****

Dreams of the future—a huge stadium at G. U.—with the College, Medical, Dental, Foreign Service School—on the campus. A gymnasium, like the Penn Palestra, big enough to house all the students at basketball, track meets. In the end that we may be a University and not a scattered collection of colleges.

*****

Some of versatile Seniors—Ralph Duplin, star quarterback on the football team and baseball luminary, has added to the list of roles. He performs well that of instructor in analytical geometry at the College. Dup's a good fellow and will go far. *****

Another—Orral Mitchell, a silent member of the Senior Class, has been engaged as basketball coach for the present season at Gonzaga, down town. In addition to going to school and coaching, Mitchell also organizes leagues for young athletes, coaches several amateur teams, referees high school contests, and, besides, plays the game himself. It is said he sleeps occasionally.

Squad Wins One Out of Five— Fish Gains Only Decision— Murphy Knocked Out by Bell —Pozzo and Tierney Fight Gamely.

The Georgetown boxers were unsuc- cessful in their invasion of West Point last Saturday night, but they showed the Army boys a busy time and probably one of the roughest roads they have trod to victory.

Hagerty led off for Georgetown against Bell of Army in a very scrappy and game battle. Despite considerable pun- ishment in the first two rounds, the Blue and Gray boy came back in the third, but his opponent had piled up too many points.

The lightweight division furnished an upset when Murphy hit the rosin before Bell of Army. Evenly matched, a close battle was put up until Murphy unwit- tingly stepped into Bell's right and took the count.

The third fight, between Charlie Fish, wearing the Blue and Gray, and Roller, of the Army, gave the crowd plenty of action and was undoubtedly the best bout of the meet. Perhaps the fact that Roller is the champion of the Fifth Corps Area and also considered the best man in his class ever turned out by the Army, might cause no little bewilderment to his opponent. But the case was quite the opposite, as can be seen by the Judges' decision.

Fish came very near stopping Roller in the first round with a one-two, but the West Pointer weathered the storm and finished the bout. Fish showed his superiority as a boxer and gave the Army boys quite an eyeful of cleverness, agility and headwork. This G. U. fighter is all there and great things can be expected of him.

In the next bout, between the middle- weights, Georgetown was represented by Duffy and the Army by Colby. A furious pace was set up at the start and lasted until the finish, with Colby swinging wild and Duffy hammering out hard blows on his opponent's midriff. The bout was extremely close, but the decision was given to Colby.

Pozzo, the star light-heavyweight for the Hilltoppers, showed plenty of speed and was quite the aggressor, but lost his bout in an extra round. This making the second time that he has lost in an extra round, having dropped his fight with Klepac, of W. Maryland, in the same manner. Pozzo was in excellent form and finished in good shape.

In the final bout of the evening Tierney put up a game fight against his much heavier opponent. Muse, of Army, had things much his own way from start to finish, winning the decision, but not with ease. Tierney put up a plucky fight and deserves a great deal of credit for it.

QUARTERLY OF PHI CHI CHAPTER SOON READY

FRAT PLANS SOCIAL EVENT FOR THIS WEEK

"One Moment Please" Secures Honorable Mention—Phi Chi Fraternity Edits Entire Issue.

Kappa Chapter of the Phi Chi Fra- ternity is pleased to announce that the forth-coming issue of the Phi Chi Quar- terly will be a product of their own in- genuity. We understand that the book will be entirely a local affair, but will be distributed to all the chapters of the fraternity. It will deal mainly with their school activities at Georgetown Medical, and is expected to show the other members what is being done here. A special article has been written about the new medical school, and a few of the local staff men have been written up. The issue will include "Dr. Vaughan's Sur- gery Clinic," a reprint of what has previously appeared under "One Moment Please."

Stepping right along with the trend of times, the Phi Chi has introduced new methods in the selection of its members. A high scholastic standing must be at- tained b'y the aspirant before he is even approached, thus to insure that the ranks will be filled only with the best. The annual closed dance will soon be held at the Carlton. Many new features and novelties will be introduced so as to make this dance a memorable event.

WHO'S WHO AMONG THE MEDICAL GRADUATING

CLASS. By TOM BURKE.

As referred to in this column last week, the supply of paint on the palette was about exhausted, and just as we were about to give up in despair a new supply arrived by special delivery. We are going to try new colors in giving a little touch to a short biography, namely, that of Joseph Ralph Jordan. Joseph is a local boy, born in this city, and lives at 7319 12th Street N. W. He is a graduate of McKinley Manual Training School of Washington, and took his pre-medical training at Georgetown University before entering Georgetown Medical School. In athletics at high school he was a member of the school general council, and did well in the pole-vaulting contests. At the present time outside his school hours, he is engaged as Junior Interne at Emer- gency Hospital.

In coming to us as a medical student Joe brought a few personal character- istics that have made him deservedly popular among his school fellows. If Charles Dickens were looking for the counterpart of the ubiquitous Uriah Heep of his famous "David Copperfield," he would surely find the type in Joe. Quiet, unassuming and somewhat self-obliterat- ing, the writer might say that a search- light was necessary to find him out. Yet it is duly to the man's credit to remark that with all his reticence and quietness of behavior, Jordan has made an impres- sion among the student body that bespeaks the true character of the man. He is a friend indeed, therefore, a friend in need.

He takes an active part in all matters affecting student life and the recom- mendations that he has made at various school meetings have always impressed the writer as coming from a man who be- lieves in a sane compromise, rather than adopting drastic measures. It is to students of this type that the present Senior Class owes much of its class harmony. Whenever intelligent concerted effort has brought about the redress of class wrongs, the influence and advice of Joe Jordan was often beneath it all. To say that he stands high in his medical work is patent, and we wish to congratulate our classmate of being the possessor of two traits of character that undoubtedly will go far to insure his future success. We refer to his student ability and tact- full diplomacy.

First Dance of Season at Carlton on Saturday Night — Strict- land's Orchestra Will Furnish Music.

Theta Kappa Psi has tentatively arranged her schedule of discourses to be given by the graduate members. At sub- sequent meetings, various brothers will discuss their specialties and advise the members in their choice of future work. These informal talks serve to more firmly unite the bands of Fraternalism in giving the undergraduates the benefit of years of experience, tempered by the mellowing influence of true friendship.

Zeta Chapter recently completed the initiation of several members, at a supper given in'The Press Club. The occasion was a solemn one during which the aims and ideals of the Fraternity were explained, and it is expected that these men will prove most worthy of the aspira- tions of their Fraternity. Those initiated were: George Resta, Karl Lehmiller, Joseph Madden, Robert McTammany, Charles Walsh, John Monair, Robert Costello, Daniel Leary, Thomas O'Don- nell.

Theta Kappa Psi's recent brothers will aid in making a social success of their first dance at the Carlton Hotel on the evening of February the ninth. Many of the chapter's graduate members, as well as other brothers in the city, have become patrons of the affair, and expect to attend. Strictland's Orchestra will play and the cards are Three Dollars.

REGULAR MEETING OF THE MEDICAL SODALITY

Father Summers Celebrant of Mass—Delivers Sermon on the Value of Faith—Plans Began for Senior Retreat.

The regular monthly meeting of the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary was held at Dahlgren Chapel Sunday, Febru- ary 3rd. The students of the Medical and Dental Departments turned out in large numbers and made this occasion one of the most impressive yet held in the annals of sodality attendance. Mass was celebrated by the Rev. Walter G. Sum- mers, Regent of the Medical and Dental Schools, and a very large number of the men received Holy Communion. Father Summers, after reading the gospel of the day, briefly dilated upon one important point in the gospel narrative, and one which he emphasized as being very pertinent to the professional man of today. The point in question was that few ever stop to think of the inestimable gift we possess, namely, the gift of Faith.

The reverend preacher called attention to the fact that "a life without Faith is aimless and lonely, and that no matter what a man's goal in life may be, many of his efforts are futile unless they have a religious background. Where there is no Faith this is impossible. It is a light that not only shines within the heart itself, but by its intrinsic spiritual efforts enables a man to think clearly, act intelli- gently, and live cleanly." He also touched upon the possibility of how easily this divine gift may be lost. "Lack of appreciation, want of thought, extrinsic influences, love of material gain" are some of the factors that lead in this direction. "In terms of true value, there is no greater loss than this. A man may lose material possessions, may lose fame, may lose friends," declared the preacher, "and all that the world deems valuable; yet he has something priceless and above all market value if he has Faith. Commer- cially, the mere possession of wealth and all that goes with it is a hollow mockery if the recipient once loses his belief in a

ONE MOMENT, PLEASE BY TOM BURKE

Just Common Courtesy. No gentleman is premeditatively impolite, and yet many of us through lack of

consideration for others are wanting in the tenets of common courtesy. At first thought, this may seem to be slightly over-stretched, yet a little reflection may show the contrary. Today we are living in a world of rush and bang. The universal impulse seems to be to get there at any cost, irrespective of the methods employed or the trampled feelings of others. The end in view seems to be the sole thing, the methods chosen to gain that end seems secondary. We harp so much on training, and yet never analyze it. It all comes to this: 1 can achieve the goal and still be a gentleman, and that means that I will not sacrifice my teaching, my breeding and my personal views in working out the desired end.

The subject of courtesy may be treated from many angles, but in this column we take just one pertinent point, namely, the courtesy that we as students owe to the professors. Why mention the obviousi you will ask, but the only answer is, why commit the obvious ? it certainly is nothing less than being impolite for a student to come late to class, no matter what has caused that lateness. You distract the lecturer and disrupt general class morale. You break the sequence of the speaker's thoughts and very often the doctor has to recapitulate in order that the class might get some salient point which he has emphasized. Those men come to us with their lectures prepared, and this preparation entails time and work upon their part. They try to give is the best fruits of their reading and clinical experience, and the best that we can salient point which he has emphasized. Those men come to us with theii lectures prepared, and this preparation entails time and work upon their part. They try to give us the best fruits of their reading and clinical experience, and the least that we can show them is an appreciative and courteous attention while lecturing. It must be very disappointing to a man who has his subject at heart to see medical students stroll in late for class, and pull a chair from one end of the room to the other, while the work is being interrupted. It shows either one or two things, or both combined. It shows that the late student is not interested in the subject scheduled, or is indifferent to the consideration due a professor, or both. Better late than never does not work in such circumstances, better never than late. It is an accepted fact of course that late students act unthinkingly, but if the latecomer would just put himself for a moment in the other man's place, he would easily see that such an act is undoubtedly impolite and strongly bespeaks an unpardonable offense against common courtesy.

An Appeal to All Classes for the Domesday Booke As has been many times previously announced, "Ye Domesday Booke" will be

issued this year with a claim to pretentiousness unparalleled in the annals of its predecessors. The editors are sparing no effort in making this publication worthy of the events now taking place in the history of Georgetown University. This year we are making an appeal to the non-graduating classes to subscribe to the publication. We know very well what students of past years have said, namely, that they could not see any reason for buying a year-book which does not affect their interests personally, and whose pages are entirely devoted to the interests of the graduating classes of the various departments. May we ask your respectful attention and intelligent consideration in laying this one fact before you. We premise this fact by one broad general statement, that we believe it to be the duty of every Georgetown student to purchase a copy of Ye Domesday Booke this year. The reason is that: We hope to make the book a permanent connecting link between the old schools about to close their doors and the new ones that will open this fall. It will serve as an historical souvenir, it will be something worth referring to in years to come, it gives a man an opportunity of expressing his practical loyalty to his Alma Mater. It is undoubtedly pathetic that college men have a very mistaken idea about school loyalty.

One is forced to ask, must real school spirit find its sole manifestation in the tom- tom of parades and athletic event, in the swollen uvulae of throats made hoarse with college yells, in the affectation of college dress, not forgetting tonsorial freakishness, and in the various blah-blah methods that students of the mob type employ, shrieking to a waiting world that they are willing to give their blood for their Alma Mater? Very fine, indeed. We may forget that our atavistic tendencies are behind all this, and some of us under the frenzy of the moment, and with a very hazy notion of what it is all about would join the procession of African fakirs who hope to counter- act supposed diabolical influences by weird noises and frenzied exclamation. After all, is there such a difference between the noises that disturb the peacefulness of an African night and the athletic aftermath that sometimes follows on the campuses of our enlightened universities? True love for an Alma Mater can find a more fitting expression. With this thought in view we especially appeal to that true sense of loyalty which is inherent in every college man, and we ask you to give us your help by purchasing a copy of Ye Domesday Booke. It will be something worth taking to your respective homes, something worth showing to your friends, and something worth reading in after years. Shall not the Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen of Georgetown Medical and Dental Schools help us to the last man? This is a family affair. Is any other incentive necessary?

divine Creator." This point was the spiritual feature of the address, and Father Summers asked the men to keep that thought in mind, not only during their student days but afterwards.

He also referred to the fact that the contracts for the new medical building have been awarded, and that the real work has now started. In this matter he paid a glowing tribute to the indefatigable efforts of the President of George- town University, the Rev. Father Nevils, and said that much of the success in having this building started is due to him. He called the attention of the student body to what they owed to Father Nevils in thus expediting matters and making this building possible.

Father Summers expressed himself as being very well pleased with the sugges- tion made by some of the members of the Senior Medical Class, that a special retreat should be given for the Seniors to- wards the end of the school year. He said lie would be only too glad to make such arrangements, and official announce- ments would be made later.

Immediately after Benediction, a very impressive ceremony, known as the blessing of the throats was carried out, this being done in keeping with the feast day cil St. Blase, who is the patron saint in throat affections, and whose blessing has proved to be efficacious in such matters.

After the ceremony breakfast was served in one of the halls,

MANNING RESIGNS CONSULAR POSITION

Former Consul at Uruguay Ap- pointed to Post in Export De- partment of Victor Talking Machine Co.

The officials of the School of Foreign Service are pleased to announce that one of its earlier graduates, Mr. Raphael A. Manning, has obtained a position with the Export Department of the Victor Talking Machine Company, of Camden, New Jersey, and will leave the United States in a few days for Bogota, Colom- bia, to assume the duties of his new position. Mr. Manning formerly served as Vice Consul of the United States to Uruguay. He will take up his duties with the Victor Talking Machine Company in Bogota about the same time another graduate of the School, Mr. Walter Don- nelly, goes there as the new Commercial Attache of the United States, notice of which appointment has already been announced.

Upon reaching Bogota Mr. Manning and Mr. Donnelly will be met by another graduate of the School of Foreign Service who for the past several years has been the Assistant Trade Commis- sioner of the United States at Bogota.

Another of the graduates of the School of Foreign Service, Mr. James Dupuis, who has been connected with the Victor Company in the Export Department since leaving the School, has been assigned work in that department in Mexico and has gone to Mexico to assume the duties of the new position.

FOREIGN SERVICE GRADU- ATE TAKES POST WITH

TIRE COMPANY. The officials of the School of Foreign

Service are pleased to announce that another one of its graduates, Mr. Edgar R. Spain, has received an appointment on the staff of the Dunlop Rubber Com- pany, one of the biggest rubber producers in the world, and that at present he is stationed in Atlanta, Ga., learning the domestic business, and will be sent out shortly thereafter in their export work. Mr. Spain is a native of Washington, and for the past four years has taken courses in the School of Foreign Service.

The officials of the School of Foreign Service of Georgetown University, have been interested to learn that Major John P. Dinsmore, who recently completed some studies "in International Law in the school, has just been assigned as Judge Advocate of the American Forces in China, and will leave immediately for his post there. Major Dinsmore made a brilliant record in the School of For- eign Service, and won the James Brown Scott prize for the best paper in the course on international law. Major Dins- more is one of a considerable number of army and navy officers, who, each year, takes the courses at the school.

The officials of the School of Foreign Service of Georgetown University were pleased to receive a copy of "An Out- line of American Federal Government," a book just published by Prentice-Hall Co., and written by Dr. Stuart Lewis, a graduate of the School of Foreign Service.

Dr. Lewis was awarded the Master of Foreign Service Degree in June, 1924, and is at present a member of the faculty at the New Jersey Law School. He is the author of many books and publications on political science and kindred subjects.

AFRICAN EXPERIENCES

By ROUERT DICK DOUGLAS. '32.

Associated with elephants and lions in the Africa of one's imagination are, almost invariably, snakes. Every size from the ground snake to the huge boa constrictor is included in the category of monsters that add to the horrors of the Dark Continent. But in all our stay in East.Africa, we saw only four or five— not four or five species but four or five actual snakes. However, these made up for any scarcity of their brethren.

On the first night we spent in our camp down.in Tanganyka, we had an experience with one of the deadliest snakes in all Africa, the black spitting cobra. This particular reptile, in addition to being able to bite with such poison that his victim is dead within an hour, can also throw his venom for fifteen feet. Of course, if it falls only upon the bare skin it is harmless, but if it happens to get into an open wound or the eye of a human, death is inevitable.

Just after we had reached camp, one of the natives had occasion to examine one of the food boxes in the supply tent. Just as he threw back the wooden lid of the box the black head of a huge cobra appeared, rising from within and sway- ing before beginning the strike. More from instinct than anything else, the native threw his arm across his eyes. The snake lunged and contracted his poison sacks, sending a shower of deadly drops before him. The native screamed, another boy ran into the tent, killed the snake with a shot gun, and it was all over. But when the first native took his arm from his face the whole of his fore- arm was covered with tiny drops of milkish-white liquid, the deadliest of poison. Luckily, it had fallen only on his skin. He was safe; but if it had so much as touched his eyes, nothing we could have done would have saved him.

Some three weeks later we had another, though less dangerous encounter. One night, tired and sleepy, I left the dining tent and walked into my own tent, where I had been sleeping alone. I stepped inside and began taking off my clothes. Suddenly I heard a slight rustle, coming from the direction of the cot. I did not stop to investigate (I had long before learned to run first then look, when in the African wilderness), but quickly backed out of the tent, calling for Mr. Johnson. He rushed in with a flash-

DR. GANNON LEAVES GALLINGER HOSPITAL

FOREIGN SERVICE NOTES

Regret Expressed at Loss of Tire- less Worker in Humanitarian Service — Was Prominent in Securing Congressional Aid for New Institution.

The history of Gallinger Hospital must always be intimately connected with Dr. Percy D. Hickling and Dr. James A. Gannon, both members of the George- town University Hospital staff. Dr. Hickling is Professor of Clinical Psy- chiatry, and Dr. Gannon is Associate Professor of Principles and Practice of Surgery. It was due to the combined efforts of these two men that the Galliu- get of today is what it is. At the time of which we speak, Dr. Hickling was chief of the institution, and he set on foot a movement by which he tried to remedy the miserable conditions which surrounded him when he took charge of the institution.

His chief professional aim was to develop the Psychiatry Department, and as this took considerable time and energy, he enlisted the services of Dr. Gannon to help him in awakening public spirit as to the needs of what was then known as the Washington Asylum. When Dr. Gan- non associated himself with the work the future of Gallinger was far from promising. It was nothing more or less than a collection of a few disreputable wooden shacks. It was visited by the derelicts of life, and to such people and for practically no remuneration whatever, Dr. Gannon gave the fruits of his well known surgical abilities.

Not long after taking charge of the institution, he set about to help the miserable condition which was an eye- sore to the community at large. It had been officially condemned many times, but no official efforts were made to remedy the situation. Dr. Gannon knew that if something were not done and done quickly, the closing of this poor house was only a question of time, and that the poor unfortunates already housed there would be turned loose upon the city and sur- roundings, to die as forgotten wretches in some desolate haunt. He brought the institution and its condition to the attention of the public, and interested the officials of Washington in the plans that he proposed. He made use of every justifia-

Mr. Carroll M. Terry has just received an appointment on the staff of the Ameri- can Battle Monuments Commission, and will leave for France immediately at the end of the present semester. Mr. Terry states that an important factor in ob- taining this appointment was the work that he had in the School of Foreign Service, and particularly the studies that he had made here of the French language, European history, modern history, and the survey course lie took here on Europe.

Mr. William A. Reid, Professor of Latin America as an Export Field at the School of Foreign Service of George- town University, will be the representative of the Pan American Union at the International Rotary Congress to be in Miami, Fla., during the week of January 21-25.

Mr. Reid is the Foreign Trade Advisor of the Pan American Union and is the author of many important foreign trade publications. His course at the School of Foreign Service is composed of an historical, economic and political survey of the countries of Latin America.

FR. SMITH LEAVES G. U. FOR NEW YORK DUTIES

Was Professor of History and Apologetics at the Hilltop— Regret Expressed by the Faculty and Students on His Departure.

The President of the University announced during the past week the resig- nation of.the Rev. Mark J. Smith, S.J., from the Department of History of Georgetown College. Fr. Smith retires to take up new duties as special writer and procurator of the Jesuit House of Writers in New York City, where the editorial staff of America resides.

Fr. Smith had been a member of the History faculty of Georgetown College for the past four years. During that period he was mainly engaged in the teaching of Freshman history and also conducted certain courses in Apologetics. The University and his many friends whom he acquired while here were sorry to learn that the call of urgent work from New York City forced his retire- ment, and the expressions of regret heard on the campus w ere ample evidence of the fine work he has accomplished among the students of Georgetown.

FEBRUARY LIST OF BOOKS ANNOUNCED BY HIRST

LIBRARY. The Hirst Library has just received a

list of about 22 new books. Among them are numbered some of the best sellers in fiction and non-fiction fields at the present time. "Snake Pit," by Unaset, and "Blades," by G. B. McCutcheon, are among the best of the novels, while "Bar- rie," by Moult, and "Red Mexico," by McCullough, are very good in the non- fiction line. The list of books follows: "Enter St. John," "Red Mexico," "Ghost House," "How to Talk," "Why News Is News," "Fiction by Its Makers," "God Infinite and Reason," "General Psychol- ogy," "The Black Circle," "A Catholic Looks at Life," "Occident," "When They Love," "The Savior of Life," "Snake Pit," "Lenardo the Florentine," "Shad- owed," "The Angel That Troubled the Water," "Blades," "Slype Slype," "Gala- lea," "The Children," "Poetic Volumes," "Barrie."

At present the books are being rear- ranged so that the service may be even better than it is at present.

GEORGETOWN LORE

ARLINGTON CEMETARY. RICHARD X. EVANS.

No one should leave Georgetown who has not spent at least one hour wander- ing indiscrimately about the famous old Arlington Cemetary. There is some secret these dead hold, so securely, in their tabernacles which lures all to solve. There is a bridge skirting a brocjk on the way to the amphitheatre. Once while I was crossing there I thought I heard an answer to the riddle in the voices of the stream. It seemed to spell peace. Another time when I stood near the door leading into the monument commemo- rating the brave dead who sank with the U. S. Maine off Manila Bay, I raised the knocker and let it fall with a murderous clang against the iron portal. It echoed and re-echoed within the hollow crypt, like a voice answering from the dead, "Our secret is not for the living 1" I started back half in apprehension lest I had disturbed those who sleep.

I know why most people visit the Arlington Cemetary. It is to comment upon the grace and beauty of the huge amphitheatre, or perhaps it is to heave a sigh at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The day I visited this sacred place, I found a little bouquet of roses resting above the tomb of the nameless hero. I wondered what "Unknown Mother's" hand had left it there.

Some there are who come to see the graves of famous men. "Here is where Sherman rests," they say, "and here Pierre Charles L'Enfant, engineer, artist, soldier, planner of the city of Washing- ton. There is the tomb of Stephen Vin- cent Benet, brigadier general, who fought in the Civil War, while today a descen- dant of the same name writes immortal lyrics of the Civil War."

There are others who pause to kneel by a humble grave, bearing no lofty monument, no high sentiment, but only the name, the birth and the day of death. "He came, he suffered, and he died."

So in among these graves we wan- dered. As we passed through the iron gates, a long procession of powerful automobiles were rolling slowly in. An- other visitor was coming to take his place among those who sleep at Arlington.

BILL ROWAN, '29, Of Grosner's, 1325 F St., would like to see all the candidates for the position of Grosner's representative for next year.

F. S. GRAD APPOINTED TO DIPLOMATIC POST

Walter J. Donnelly Receives Ap- pointment as Commercial At- tache at Bogota, Columbia, Consulate.

The officials of the School of Foreign Service of Georgetown University were pleased to learn of the recent promotion of Mr. Walter J. Donnelly, Assistant Trade Commissioner at Montreal, Can- ada, .to the position of Commercial At- tache of the United States at Bogota, Colombia.

Mr. Donnelly was one of the first students in the School of Foreign Service entering in 1919, the year that the School was founded. His first contacts with Latin America came when he made a trip to Venezuela as one of a group sent there by the School for the purpose of making an economic survey of the country. In 1924 he was appointed Assistant Trade Commissioner of the United States to Ottawa, Canada, and was later trans- ferred to Montreal, Canada.

Mr. Donnelly is receiving the congrat- ulations of his many friends of the Fac- ulty and student body of the School of Foreign Service.

GASTON-WHITE DEBATE) SCHEDULE ARRANGED

Bernhardt, White, Sullivan, Mc- Nally Represent G a s t o n — Hayes, Stakem, Murphy, O'Keefe Defend White's Laurels.

The first of the annual series of debates between the two rival junior debating societies, Gaston and White, will be held, in all probability, during the early weeks of February. The committees of the two clubs have as yet been unable to place the date but they are expected to do so soon.

Gaston will be represented by Messrs. Bernhardt, White, Sullivan, and McNally, while the laurels of White will be upheld by Messrs. Hayes, Stakem, Murphy, and O'Keefe. The subject of the argument will be, "Resolved, That the Kellogg Peace Pact is consistent with our poli- cies set forth in the Monroe Doctrine."

Coincidental with the approach of this meet will be the address of Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg in Gaston Hall on the evening of February 18. This will shed much light on the subject of the debate and should interest the student body as a whole as well as the members of the respective societies.

AFRICAN EXPERIENCES (Continued from page 7)

light, turning its beam from side to side to examine the interior of the tent. Then we saw the cause of the rustling sound. Coiled around the leg of the cot was a cobra over eight feet long. In the glare of the light his wicked little eyes shone red and his forked tongue darted in and out of the half open mouth. What would have happened if he had not betrayed his presence by a slight sound, I do not know. And I am glad that I do not.

As I have said, during our entire trip we saw only a very few snakes. But of those few two were in our tents where we came upon them most unexpectedly. They are rare. In fact, one may journey throughout Africa and see not a cobra. But the few that he does see he sees in the last places in the world that he would expect to find them. That is true of all Africa. It is what has given to it its name, dark and forbidding—the Dark Continent.

PROF. PARES SPFAKS ON RUSSIA (Continued from page l)

Last week's lecture, which was given by Father Walsh, received much favorable comment. Father Walsh gave a brief re- view of the history of Russia from the earliest times down to the World War. He pointed out how the Russians had reached the crossroads at different periods and each time they selected the wrong path, so that they have practically always remained slaves to the rulers. A detailed survey of "Russia at the Cross- roads on November 7, 1917," was very dramatic to say the least.

Hilltop History FIVE YEARS AGO THIS WEEK.

(From THE HOYA of February 6, 1924)

Last Sunday morning there appeared in the Washington Post, Star, and Herald, lengthy news items concerning an editorial written on collegiate prohibition by James E. Russell, Jr., '24, editor-in-chief, which appeared in last week's HOYA. The editorial evidently captured public interest outside the college walls, and the general opinion seemed to coincide with the spirit expressed by the editorial, that prohibition enforcement should start in the schools, colleges and universities of the country.

Recognizing the ever-growing importance of water transport and the important part which marine terminals play in carrying on the commerce of the world, the School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University, will, during the coming semester, give a course of lectures on "Ports and Terminal Facilities," under the direction of Herbert W. Gruber.

With the Garber-Davis twelve-piece orchestra in exceptional form, the Junior Prom, Friday night, was granted the distinction of being a complete success, especially as a social achievement.

From the hours of nine to two, the party was enjoyed by a record-breaking crowd that taxed the capacity of the spacious City Club ball room.

Making the remarkably fast time of 3:30 2/5 for the mile relay, and the fastest time for the evening of any combination running in that event, Coach John D. O'Reilly's senior mile relay team literally breezed its way to victory over Boston College and Holy Cross, at the Boston Athletic Association Games held in the arena at Boston, last Saturday night.

Father Arthur O'Leary, S.J., of the college faculty, took his final solemn vows in Dahlgren Chapel on Saturday morning, February 2.

On Monday evening, February 4, the Philonomosian Debating team presented the question, "Resolved, That there should be an amendment to the Federal Constitution prohibiting child-labor," before the Washington Council of the Knights of Co- lumbus. The decision of the debate was left to the house and was awarded to the negative side.

At the reading of marks last Tuesday, in Gaston Hall, Rev. J. B. Creeden, Presi- dent of the University, speaking to the student body, said in part: "In all my experience, I have found that success in any field of endeavor was achieved only by hard, continuous labor. Those who do well in college, I find, in nearly all cases do well when they leave the halls of their Alma Mater for the various walks of life they may pursue."

A long honor role was announced in connection with the R. O. T. C, as a result of the many students who have managed to maintain a record of 90 per cent in class work, 95 per cent in deportment, and 95 per cent in attendance. It is unnecessary to comment here that the work of the military training unit has been very satisfactory this year.

NINE YEARS AGO THIS WEEK.

(From THE HOYA of February 5, 1920)

Georgetown may have a crew within a month. Rowing, if the present plans materialize, will be revived, and Georgetown will once again put a crew onto the Potomac. The plans, which call for a gigantic revival of this old sport, are well formulated, and the question of expense is the only obstacle in the way of this important addition to Georgetown's sporting roster.

Lionel Barrymore gives HOYA reporter interesting interview. The famous actor. brother of the illustrious Georgetown student, is in town with his company for the presentation of "The Letter of the Law." Mr. Barrymore was most cordial in his interview, and told us that he had often had the pleasure of playing against George- town while a member of the Seton Hall football team. Wc regret that he did not have the wise choice of schools which Brother John showed.

Big things are promised by the staff of Ye Domesday Booke. At a conference held last Sunday, the editors indicated that this year's issue will eclipse all previous volumes in size, elaboration and quality. The key note of this yearbook is to be originality, and there is no limit to the amount of time, energy and money that is being used to achieve this end.

Georgetown maintains its fast pace and winning streak by beating West Virginia Wesleyan, 35-18. The visitors brought up a light, speedy team, which gave a good account of itself, but Ryan Gym found the Hilltoppers in inimitable form with the usual result. OX'onnell and Flavin were Georgetown's outstanding performers, but the victory is attributed in the main to the clever pass work and ability of the entire team.

A university ring is being planned by the Seniors, which will display an original design, and which will be a permanent sign of a Georgetown man. After the fiasco of previous years, in this regard, most of the class arc of the opinion that something good should be arranged that is representative of the school, and really distinctive. Once a good standard design lias been selected, following classes will profit, for the use of the same die each year will materially reduce the price of the rings.

Jim Connolly will run in his home town, of Boston, the day after tomorrow. The speedy miler has a host of friends in the Hub who always turn out to root for Jim when he is entered in local meets so that his presence in the B. A. A. Meet will bring out these ardent followers. Connolly and Fecny, the high jumper, are the only Georgetown men entered in the meet.

FR. FRISCH TAKES FINAL VOWS (Continued from page l)

Before coming to Georgetown as head of Biology in 1927, Fr. Frisch had occu- pied a similar position at Canisius Col- lege, Buffalo, N. Y., where many years ago he had pursued his studies before entering the Society of Jesus. While at tlie Buffalo institution, Fr. Frisch had been substantially responsible for the de- velopment of scientific courses and was prominently identified with the extension work carried on by Canisius College for the parochial and public school teachers of the city of Buffalo.

The officials of the School of Foreign Service were pleased to learn that Mr. Salvatore Falotico, a former graduate of the school, is now engaged in actual foreign trade work. Mr. Falotico is at present employed by the Shippers Storage Company of New York City. This company is the export agent of the Chrysler- Dodge Brother Corporation, who have a large export business throughout the world.

Mr. Falotico was awarded the Bachelor of Foreign Service degree in February, 1928, after spending two and one-half years at the School of Foreign Service in preparation for a foreign service career along international shipping lines.

DR. GANNON LEAVES HOSPITAL (Continued from page 7)

ble opportunity to acquaint the government with conditions as they then were, and with the aid of the public press showed the officials of Washington that Gallinger was an actual disgrace. He lobbied in Congress for years trying to enlist government support in his cam- paign, and finally succeeded with the aid of Senator Chamberlain in passing a bill through Congress by which financial aid was given, and steps were immediately taken to build a new Gallinger Hospital.

As a result of Dr. Gannon's fourteen years' profesisonal association and due to his energetic and indefatigable efforts, the new and greater Gallinger Hospital has supplanted those scattered shacks of former years. New buildings have been erected, new modern equipment installed, and from the dirty, unhygienic sand banks and dirt holes, from unsightly and condemned hovels, there has arisen this splendid institution, a credit to the city which claims it, a credit to Dr. Hickling the pioneer of the movement, and a crowning tribute to the herculean efforts of Dr. James A. Gannon.

From the foregoing it can be easily seen the keen public regret which was felt when Dr. Gannon severed connec- tions with this great work. We understand that the demands of his present pri- vate practice and his official duties of the other hospitals with which he is affiliated, require all his time and professional attention. If the worth of a man's standing in a community be measured by the practical good a man has done for that community, then Gallinger Hospital stands today as an eloquent testimonial to the altruism, community spirit, and executive genius of the man who with the and of Dr. Hickling converted a few condemned wooden shacks into a hospital second to none in the city of Washington today.

versity Glee Club have been in great de- mand since their opening concert on Jan- uary 27 in Gaston Hall. Last Saturday night the Glee Club sang for the Board of Trade Banquet in the Willard Hotel, at which Captain Fried, hero of the recent rescue at sea of the crew of the doomed "Florida," was the guest speaker. Monday night the triple quartet of the Glee Club sang at the reception in honor of a group of Argentine educators now visiting this country.

Although the Glee Club has had several offers, the only appearances which are now scheduled are to sing at St. Paul's Church and to sing at Woodstock during the lenten season.

ARGENTINE GROUP VISIT G. U. (Continued from page i)

returned to the Seismological laboratory where an interesting demonstration was given by Father Tondorf, S.J., assisted by Father Goberna, S.J., from Belen, Havana.

When being conducted through Gaston Hall, the visitors from the Argentine were quite surprised and pleased to find, here in a college far from their home, the seal of one of their own universities, the seal of Cordova, the oldest Jesuit school in the Argentine and one of the oldest in the western hemisphere. It was one of the high lights of their whole American tour, they explained, to find the familiar seal adorning the walls of Gaston Hall.

Later, the guests were received in the Riggs Annex by Father Nevils. An informal musicale was held in which the Georgetown Glee Club sang very enter- tainingly. Piano selections by Mr. Dono- van and by Mr. Healy, assistant dean of the Foreign Service School, were enjoyed by the visitors who contributed to the program in the form of a piano solo of several old Argentine folk songs, played by Mr. Garcia, one of the party.

During the Washington visit of the Argentine group, President Nevils will attend the luncheon to be given in their honor by Judge John Barton Payne, president of the American Red Cross.

Georgetown is portrayed as a theatre. Certain settings are prepared, a cast is picked from America's youth, and the faculty in the role of directors and producers give to the audience of the world what they have molded.

The book is predominated by the seal and colors of Georgetown, and the Ac- tivity pages are backed by phantom cuts of scenes around the University, in ac- cordance with the theme.

There should be no need to urge Georgetown men to subscribe to the annual. It is the work of their fellow students and classmates, and is therefore well worth considering. Then, too, in later years the Domesday Booke will form a link of memories between past and present. In this respect no photo album or scrap book can compare with the year book. The doings of all departments of the University as well as pic- tures of friends are all preserved in one volume. Subscribe now!

MEDICAL CONTRACT SIGNED (Continued from page i)

Georgetown graduate. All contracts call for the completion of

the work by September 16. A formal laying of the cornerstone will take place on Sunday, June 9, as part of the Com- mencement Exercises. The cornerstone will be set in its place by His Excellency Most Rev. Pietro Fumasoni-Biondi, Apostolic Delegate to the United States. Dr. John A. Foote, '06, will deliver the oration on this occasion.

The building will cost approximately a million dollars on completion and will be the first unit in a group ultimately to include Georgetown University Hospital, the Nurses' Home, and Doctors' Club House. These buildings are being con- structed on practically the highest ground in the District of Columbia, and will provide an excellent view of the Po- tomac River and the surrounding country.
