REV. E. A. WALSH GIVEN WELCOME

Two Hundred Attend Banquet for Returned Relief Worker— Father Creeden Is Toastmas- ter—Father Walsh Speaks on His Experiences in Russia.

After nearly three years' work among the famine stricken peoples of Eastern Europe, Father Edmund A. Walsh, S. J., founder and first Regent of the Foreign Service School, recently returned to Washington for a short stay at the Uni- versity. His return was made the occasion of a banquet, when 200 students of the University and Faculty met to honor the returned Jesuit and to hear something of conditions in Soviet Russia, where Father Walsh has been laboring as head of the Papal Relief Mission.

Speaking of the downfall of the forces of education in Russia after the acces- sion of the Soviet regime to power] Father Walsh said:

"Thoughtful observers see in the les- sened facilities for sound education, that result from the desperate quest for one's daily bread and the bare necessities of life, not only in Russia but in all central

BARON KORFF DIES SUDDENLY

Russian Nobleman, Professor at F. S. School, Stricken in Class Room, Where He Started Work in America—Was Bril- liant Political Scientist—Eulo- gized by Father Walsh as a Loss to Education in This Country.

The first death among the Faculty of the School of Foreign Science occurred early in March, when Baron Serge A. Korff, Professor of History, interna- tionally known as a leader in political science, and member of the Russian no- bility, was stricken with apoplexy while lecturing in "Diplomatic Methods and Procedure" at the School.

"The Baron," as he was known to his students, was a native of Russia, where he had been brought up very close to the royal family, and was educated in the University of Petrograd and at Heidel- berg. He also held an honorary degree from Brown University. He was at the

• time of his death, Professor of History at Columbia University, New York City, and at Johns Hopkins, in addition to his work at the Foreign Service School. He was also a Vice President of the Ameri- can Institute of Political Science, and a member of th French Institut de Droit International. Last summer he lectured before the Society of International Law at the Hague, then at the meetings of the Institut de Droit International, and later spoke at the Williamstown Round Table Conferences.

DR. T. F. MALLAN, M. D., '80, DIES.

Dr. Thomas F. Mallan, prominent surgeon in the Capital City, and an Alumnus of Georgetown, died from heart disease, following a long illness, at his home a few days ago..

He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Adele Blaine Mallan, two sons, Roderick and Blaine Mallan, and two daughters, the Misses Bea- trice and Adele Mallan. Dr. Mal- lan received his degree of medi- cine from Georgetown in 1880.

FOREIGN SERVICE REGENT RETURNS

Vice-President of Georgetown Completes Tour of Organiza- tion — Drive Meeting With Success—Fr. Nevils Guest of Governor of Nevada.

Of extensive proportions has been the tour in the interests of the Georgetown University Endowment Association recently completed by the Rev. W. Cole- man Nevils, S. J., Vice-President of Georgetown University, Regent of the School of Foreign Service and National Chairman of the Endowment Associa- tion. Father Nevils' activities were for the most part confined to organization work.

Leaving Washington on the 26th of December last, he worked westward, forming clubs in the important cities of the Middle and Far West. No less than nine states were visited in all of which Georgetown Clubs were established. These clubs were formed in accordance with a constitution previously drafted by a committee consisting of Father Nevils, Mr. Harry M. Gower and Mr. James J. Twomey. The following are among the societies so organized: The Georgetown Club of Missouri, with chapters at St. Louis and Kansas City; The G. U. Club of Colorado, with headquarters at Den- ver ; the Utah Club, with its central point at Salt Lake City; the Nevada Club, with its main chapter at Reno; the Georgetown Club of Southern California, with its seat of operations at Los Angeles; the Alumni Association of Oregon, with its chief branch at Portland. The George- town Club of Washington State, with its nucleus at Seattle and chapters at Tacoma and Spokane; the Alumni Club of Arizona, with branches at Phoenix and Prescott, presided over by Dr. Clar- ence Yount, M. D. '90, of the latter city, and the Endowment Club of New Mex- ico, with divisions at Santa Fe and Albu- querque. The last-named club is under the supervision of Mr. Dennis Chavez,

Two Hundred Members of the Alumni Organization at Din- ner—Annual Affair a Great Success—Mr. C. F. Kelly, Presi- dent of the Anaconda Copper Mining Company, Principal Speaker — Head of Univer- sity Urges Securing of Per- manent Quarters for George- town Club.

The annual dinner of the New York Society of Georgetown Alunmni was given tonight at the Hotel Biltmore, New York City. About two hundred members of the organization were present, the largest attendance ever recorded at this popular affair. It was particularly gratifying to the heads of the society to note the splendid interest being shown by the members of the association. Among the more prominent in attendance were the Rev. Frs. Nevils and Walsh, Mr. James A. Farrell, President of the United States Steel Corporation, Mr. C. F. Kel- ly, President of the Anaconda Copper Company, who was the principal speaker of the evening, and Mr. George Mc- Xcir, Chairman of the Georgetown En- dowment Drive in New York. Many of the former officers of the society were also present and the society is to be con- gratulated upon the character of the

LAW DEPARTMENT ADVANCED IN RANK

Placed Among Leading Law Schools of Country—American Bar Association Gives Highest Rating Possible—Two Years of College Work Required for Admission in 1925.

The American Bar association has ad- vised Dean George E. Hamilton, of the Georgetown University School of Law, that the school has been listed by the association in class "B." Next year, Dean Hamilton has been notified, the school will be rated class "A" and thus be given the highest possible rating by the Amer- ican Bar Association.

This designation of the Georgetown Law School places it among the leading institutions of its kind in the country. The American Bar Association has ap- proved only 54 law schools out of 147 irr the United States. Its acceptance by the bar association will prove very gratifying to the 5,000 Georgetown law alumni throughout the country.

The law school now requires one year of college work for admission, and beginning in 1925, two years' college work will be required of all students entering as candidates for a law degree.

guests present. The members also must feel highly honored to have had their dinner graced by the presence of the head executives of the two largest industrial corporations of the country.

The dinner was held in the very at- tractive Breakfast Room of the hotel. Representing the student body of the university, were the President of the Yard, Mr. James H. Grasty, and the Editor of the HOYA, Mr. James E. Russell, Jr.

The speeches were opened by the ad- dress of Mr. Keresey, the present head of the New York Society. Reviewing the activities of the past year he called for a rising vote of thanks for Mr. McNeir, for the splendid efforts performed by him in behalf of the Drive. The most interesting part of Mr. Keresey's speech ran as follows:

"The splendid results obtained by the University's baseball, football, and particularly track athletes during the past year have brought home to all of us the need of greater cooperation and more sincere understanding of the duties of the Alum- ni body. With this in view, I have appointed among your members a group of men to serve what we shall call an Ath- letic Committee. At the head of this group I have placed Mr. Fred A. Flan- nigan of the Class of 1916, well known in his days at Georgetown as a baseball and track man and manager of different scholastic activities. In following up this attempt to bind a closer union between the Alumni and those of the undergraduate body, your governing committee has decided to issue monthly or semi-monthly, as the conditions may warrant, the

LAW DEPARTMENT ADVANCED Continued from page 1

Beginning the new' scholastic year next September, Dean Hamilton announces the school will have a four-year course for students attending the late afternoon classes and a three-year course for the morning classes. The school has a faculty of 41 law professors, including a number of distinguished judges and law- yers, of which six are full-time professors.

The list of distinguished law graduates includes members of Congress, the present chief justices of three States, the governor of Rhode Island, justices of various Federal and State courts and United States attorneys in many parts of the country.

Has Had Noted Faculty. Three associate justices of the United

States Supreme Court, Justices Miller, Field and Brown, have been members of the Georgetown law faculty, as have 12 of the 26 judges of the District Supreme Court since its creation in 1863, including two chief justices. Two associate justices of the District Supreme Court have graduated from the law school. There have been eight justices of the District Court of Appeals since its creation in 1893, and four of them have been members of the Georgetown faculty, including two chief justices.

In addition to this distinguished list of faculty members, the school takes pride in its law library of 12,000 volumes, re- garded as the best law school library in Washington. It contains complete re- ports of the American, English and Canadian courts and is being enlarged at the rate of 500 volumes a year. A bronze tablet commemorating the 37 Georgetown law students who gave their lives in the world war was erected by the senior class of 1921 in -the center panel of the south alcove of the library.

REV. WALSH GIVEN BANQUET Continued from page 1

Europe, a direct menace to that leisure and intellectual training indispensable for the formation of leaders of mankind. Let this continue, let there be a hiatus of even one generation, and mankind will descend, as Sisley Huddleston says so graphically, with 'dizzy speed to what may be called a sophisticated barbarism.' "

Father Walsh declared that an analysis of that education which is being carefully developed in Russia today shows it to be an education "designed to destroy the fundamental principles upon which this nation is built." "It is the negation of the basic principles of religion and de- mocracy, those twin pillars in the temple of freedom," he said.

Father Walsh strongly urged his audi- tors not to countenance the use of the terms "masses and classes." These, he said, are terms imported by "foreign sowers of discord" and words which, to one who has seen the effects of the Rus- sian revolution, are hateful.

"They are a preamble to fratricidal strife," he declared. "To be sure, there must in every nation be a minority composed of those whose natural capacity of mind and acquired skill fit them for lead- ership, for the conduct of government, the direction of commerce and industry and the cultivation of the fine arts. But such must be an aristocracy of acknowl- edged ability and of intellect serving the common good, not an arictocracy of blood, class and wealth."

Fafher Creeden, President of the Uni- versity, presided at the dinner, and short talks were made by Senator David Walsh and Congressman James A. Gallivan, of Massachusetts, Dr. William F. Notz, Dean of the Foreign Service; Assistant Dean Hugh Fegan, of the Law School; the Reverend William T. Tallon, Dean of the College, and Mr. Herbert C. Hengstler, Chief of the Consular Bureau of the Department of State.

MASK AND BAUBLE ADVERTISES HAMLET

Inaugurate Novel Idea for Play— Devised to Arouse Interest in Coming Production — Charles E. Clifford to Give Renditions From Play After Lectures.

In conjunction with the presentation of "Hamlet" by the Mask and Bauble Club, Mr. Mulligan, S. J., has devised a novel plan to arouse interest in the tragedy. A series of combination lectures has been arranged which will be given throughout the city by members of the Sophomore English Class. Among the places they will visit are, Georgetown Visitation Con- vent, the Washington Council, K. of C, Immaculata Seminary and Holy Cross Academy. The men chosen to give the lectures, together with the subjects of dis- course, include Messrs. Holmes Clare of New York, who will outline "The Dra- matic Structure of 'Hamlet'"; Frank Ruffer of New Jersey, who will analyze "The Tragic Struggle in 'Hamlet'"; John Sweeney of New York, who will discuss "Hamlet's Strength of Charac- ter," and Walter Thompson of New York, who will treat "The Question of Hamlet's Insanity."

After the speakers have finished, Mr. Charles E. Clifford of the Senior Class, who will play "Hamlet" in the coming production, will give short renditions from the play.

The National Chairman of the Endow- ment Association was accorded exceed- ingly hospitable treatment by the George- town Alumni at all stages of his trip. During his visit to Reno, Nevada, Hon. Emmet D. Boyle, former governor of Nevada, was host at a banquet given by Georgetown men of Nevada. Pres- ent Governor Scrugham also gave a luncheon to Father Nevils at noon on the same day. Again, he was tendered a most welcome reception on the occasion of

his visit to Portland, Oregon. The Ore- gon Alumni gave the Vice-President of the University a dinner at the Hotel Portland at which many distinguished alumni were present.

Father Nevils returned to the college on March 16 after twelve weeks of organization work. It is reported that the drive is being received enthusiastically by the ex-Georgetown men, who profess that their heartiest efforts towards making "Greater Georgetown" a reality, are forthcoming to the fullest extent.

He Reached the Top

T! ^HE Vice-President of a great life insurance company who began his career as an agent has this to say to seniors who are about to graduate from college:

"If you love work and desire to pursue an honorable, useful and lucrative mission in life this is the business for you to take up. Life insurance salesmanship offers a fine field for the energies of the splendid young men in our colleges.

"That this is true is demonstrated by those college men who have taken up life insurance for they have shown that the college man is fit for this kind of a job and that the job also is fit for the college man.

"The work of the life insurancesalesman is distinguished by independence and opportunityfor directing his own. It gives all possible opportunity for individual initiative and a chance to make an ample income at an age when most fellows are struggling on a wage pittance."

That is the story of one who began at the bottom and reached the top without the help of a college education. The advantages are with you who graduate from college. Before deciding your career make inquiries of the "Agency Department."

SILVER FOX SEES SUCCESSFUL NINE

FOOTBALL COACH GIVES INTERVIEW

Inclement Weather Has Held Up Practice, But Team Is Round- ing in shape—Pitching Staff of Best Quality — Track Men Reaching Top Form for Com- ing Games—"Expect Great Success With Both Teams," Says Coach John D. O'Reilly.

New Hilltop Mentor Impressed With Spirit Shown by Men— Rudiments of Game Followed by Scrimmaging Is Program of Little—Desires Support of Students and Alumni — Cup Donated for Contest Next Mon- day.

A silver cup is to be donated by R-. H. Waldron, President of the "•&■" Club, to be given to the player most proficient in drop kicking, punting and receiving punts, throwing and receiving forward passes and sprinting. The contest is to be held next Monday and the entire college student body is eligible to win this costly and beautiful trophy. To obtain perma- nent ownership of the cup it is necessary to win the event three successive years. Small cups will be given to the winner of the contest every year.

Coach John D. O'Reilly in speaking of the current baseball season said: "Al- though the practice and the development of the team have been retarded by the inclemency of the weather the prospects for a successful season is one of the best. In the game with Bowdoin, who was defeated 26-1, the club showed itself to be a strong hitting outfit, on a par with the best in the college baseball world. The Bowdoin game showed what the boys could do in the line of hitting when faced by pitchers whose style was entirely unknown. The number of hits registered in that game augurs well for the batting averages this season.

"The pitching staff, composed of Jen- kins, McCarthy, Jones, Tabor, Gillespie and Brennan, is one to delight the heart of any college coach. I am satisfied that these boys are the best in their class and to find any better would be an extremely hard task. To date the infield has not been working smoothly but that is due to the fact that new first, second and third basemen are filling the positions left vacant by the graduation of the veterans Flavin, Malley and Sheedy. However, when they become used to playing together there is no doubht that the infield will be a great factor in 'bringing home the bacon.' The prospects for a successful season on the diamond are very bright and Georgetown should be represented by a great club."

Track.

When asked about track, the "Silver Fox" said: "We are in for a good outdoor season. From the results shown in- doors the outdoor season should be even more successful. We are looking forward to the Penn Relays, confident that our runners will distinguish themselves in an exceptional way. We are looking for a record in the 2-mile relay and who- ever wins in the sprint medley race will no doubt establish a record for George- town is out to win that, too."

Georgetown will be entered in eight relay races—440 yard, 880 yard, 1 mile S.

' A. A., Freshman 1 mile, championship 1- mile relay, 2-mile relay, 4-mile relay and the sprint medley. In these races George- town's Blue and Grey should finish well to the fore. The men have been working out daily under the supervision of the "Silver Fox," and that highly capable mentor has expressed satisfaction with their showing.

There will be a dual meet with West Virginia on the Hilltop, April 19th, followed by a dual meet with West Point, May 17, and the Navy-Georgetown meet at Annapolis,, May 24. After that the Intercollegiates at Harvard will attract the Blue and Gray runners.

The men are fast rounding into the pink of condition and everything points to a successful outdoor season.

Coach Lou Little, Georgetown's new football mentor, when questioned concerning the prospects for next fall, said: "When the call was issued for candidates for spring football, about 30 men answered. They were for the most part inexperienced, but what they lacked in experience they made up in spirit and willingness to learn. At first the rudiments of football were impressed upon them and they entered into the work with a strong show of spirit. The spring practice consisted in kicking, forward passing, falling on the ball, coming out of the line, etc., for the first two weeks. The third week they were given plays and short scrimmages, held daily. What I saw in the scrimmages pleased me im- mensely and I am satisfied that if the student body and Alumni show such spirit as displayed by these candidates, the success of next fall's football team is assurred."

Coach Little further stated, "the big- gest feature of the spring training season was the willingness of the candidates to learn and their ability to pick up quickly. With strong support from the undergrad- uates, and the Alumni bodies there is no doubt that a highly successful _ football season will be forthcoming. It is necessary to have the support not only of the students but also the Alumni, if George- town is to enjoy the fruits of a gridiron triumph."

R. O. T. C. The enrollment in September in the

R. O. T. C. unit by the incoming classes was well up to the standard. The number of Juniors, who entered the advanced course, was the largest in recent years.

Ten Georgetown R. O. T. C. students were selected to represent the colleges of the United States at the funeral of President Harding last August. They were givin a prominent place in the parade which accompanied the hearse.

The Georgetown first team took fifth place in the N. R. A. intercollegiate rifle match, and the second team took 15th place.

The team was third in the Third Corps match, and has been chosen with four other teams to represent the Third Corps Area in the War Department match.

Representative teams of all,corps areas will shoot in this match.

On Saturday, Nov. 10, the advanced students represented the Third Corps Area in the Army-Navy day parade in Baltimore. After the parade the unit attended the football game,'between the Third Corps Army team and the Atlantic Fleet.

FOR YOU.

The HOYA is only one of many organ- izations in the University. Like the others, it is managed by the students and exists for them. It is unique, however, in that it is able to do much more for Georgetown. At the termination of its fifth year, the HOYA may turn in retro- spect and assert that during its short life it has upheld an unswerving policy of service to all Georgetown.

When the Secretary of the New York Alumni Association approached us, rela- tive to the publication of a special edition for the annual banquet of the Society of New York Alumni, we gave him an enthusiastic "Yes." This paper, representative of the student body, stands ready to join any one helping, boosting, fighting for the University. What would be more fitting, then, than that the HOYA should expend a little extra energy in honor of the Georgetown men of New York?

We dedicate this number to you, Georgetown alumni, as a work in which we delighted; for the HOYA perceives in you and your fellows throughout the country the fine living spirit of the Blue and Gray, without which Georgetown would never be.

THE UNDERGRADUATE VIEWPOINT.

The Endowment Drive is progressing steadily to its material success under the capable guidance of its directors and through the splendid response of thousands of Georgetown's graduates and friends. It is doing much more than pro- viding for new buildings, new and badly needed equipment, and added facilities adequately complete. It is bringing to the University that moral support so evi- dently lacking hitherto.

Georgetown men, graduates and un- dergraduates, appreciate keenly enough the fact that their Alma Mater has been generally considered one of the "smaller" colleges. Years ago Georgetown was content with the truth of this appellation.

Imbued with the spirit of the 20th century, awakening to the greatly increased number of those who yearly sought to enter the universities of the country, and realizing that it was her duty to join her fellow institutions in affording every re- source to the youth of America for a college education, she began upon a period of remarkable expansion that still continues. Georgetown's academic department is no longer her predominating feature; her ambition and her labors have given her four professional schools which, together with the College, stamp her a great university. Schools and numbers, however, are not the only essen- tials to the ensemble of the modern great university.

We rejoice to perceive that the present endowment drive is no mere appeal for funds. It is the too-long-delayed gathering together, the recognition, of the most important element of Georgetown, of her alumni.

The men, who now inhabit the walls that have sheltered class after class before them, may feel at last that George- town is truly great, that she is second to none; for there now exists a well defined alumni body, a tangible thing, which can be seen to be alive and real. Each man in every community is now not orfly a successful business or professional man —he is a successful Georgetown alumnus.

To '2-4, '25, '26 and '27 a "Greater Georgetown" is not a mere thing of blue- prints and circular letters. With hun- dreds of Georgetown Clubs throughout the nation it is a reality.

"THE GANG" STILL— Sits on the steps of North. Eats at "Bart's.'' Knows where the stage entrance is. Likes the river. Chews "dags" at the Ebbitt bar. Hops the Convent wall. Puts books, etc., on the home bill. Oversleeps and suffers therefor. Runs around the "Walks." Elects "Postmasters." Paints victorious scores on innocent

surfaces. Ignores the eggs in the Refectory. Studies much for exams. Looks for "the" letter at mail time. Shivers before the "oral" board. Predicts great teams, next year. Gives an almighty "Hoya." Walks to Chain Bridge and back in

"record" time. Sneaks out after hours. Holds an occasional "kicker."

The Georgetown Foreign Service As- sociation has been formed recently by graduates and Seniors of the School for the purpose of binding together the alumni, who are in abroad with those at home, and to keep them informed of events in Washington. Frank M. Curran, '24, is president of the new organization, and its founder.

The Mask and Bauble Club will present their annual dramatization of Shake- speare on May 0th and 10th. The play chosen for this year's presentation is "Hamlet."

The Philodcmic Society will hold their annual extempore debate, known as the Hamilton Extempore, on May 4.

The Garvan Oratorical Contest will take place on May 23. Trials for this contest will be held on Sunday, April 14.

Mr. Joseph White of Geneva, New York, has been lately appointed to the staff of THE HOYA.

The Cleveland chapter of the George- town Alumni will hold their annual dinner-dance on April 22.

Mr. John F. Dailey of Rochester, N. Y., and Mr. James E. McLarney, of New York City, are among those who have been selected to appear in the Dixon Elocution Contest on April 13th.

West Virginia students of the different universities and colleges in and about Washington, recently formed a new society to enable the men from that state to become acquainted with each other and to gain a better perspective of their state and universities. Mr. William L. Ford of the Senior class at Georgetown, was chosen to head the new organization.

THE 1924 ISSUE OF YE DOOMESDAY BOOKE.

The 1924 issue of YE DOOMESDAY BOOKE will be issued about the fifteenth of May. The book is under the control of Mr. Thomas J. Clary, of New York. The Business Manager is Mr. C. J. Thompson. The material for the book is completed and the major portion of it already in the hands of the printer.

The University annual will comprise at least six hundred pages, containing the chronicles of all departments of the Uni- versity occupying sections in the book determined by the order of founding of the various departments, The College of Arts and Sciences occupies the first section of the volume and its share of the book also contains a feature hitherto lacking in all Georgetown annuals. The College section incorporates within its pages the PEACOCK PIE, in which are paraded not only the pleasure and sor- rows of college life, but also a fair portion of the whimsicalities attendant upon that life.

The subscription lists for the publication are rapidly being filled. The Editors have endeavored to make the book as at- tractive as any annual and the Business Staff have performed its task with unqualified success. The students of the various schools have given the book unanimous support and thev expect to receive a DOOMESDAY BOOKE that will blaze new trails for such future pub- lications.

HAMILTON LAW CLUB.

The members of the Hamilton Law Club met Sunday afternoon at the City Club, the question for debate being, "Re- solved, That the American soldiers who served in the late war be granted a bo- nus." The affirmative was upheld by Messrs. Jay Emanuel and Paul Lamiell; the negative was upheld by Messrs. A. S. Cain and J. L. Finnegan. The affirmative side were awarded the honors of the day. Strong arguments were advanced by both sides and, despite the fact that the question is a much discussed one, the attention and interest of the audience was held throughout.

At a short business meeting, it was decided that the annual smoker should be held on April 23rd at the City Club.

The following men were selected as an executive committee to complete plans for the banquet. The executive committee: Messrs. A. S. Cain, A. R. Mc- Callum, Rich, Lamiell, and E. A. King.

LAW CLUB.

With a membership of 189 members, the District of Columbia Law Club boasts of the largest membership of any organization in the University and well may it so boast when one considers the fact that its membership has been increased to the present number of 189 men, whereas but last year its membership numbered but 70 men.

In addition to a vast increase ih membership, the District of Columbia Law Club has been highly instrumental in securing the innovation of a new and most successful Bar Review, which meets three times a week under the able lead of Professor J. J. O'Leary. The object of the Bar Review is to give the members a

special course in the District Code and to prepare the men for the final bar examinations.

The officers of the District of Colum- bia Law Club are: Mr. Otto C. Hans- child, President; Mr. R. L. Johns, Sec- retary-Treasurer; Mr. George McKee, Vice President.

NEW YORK STATE LAW

CLUB.

The New York State Law Club has been unusually active this year due mainly to the diligent efforts of its officers and also to the interest shown by the members generally. The club numbers about 70 members, which is the largest in the history of the law clubs from New York State.

The most recent bill which the club has studied is the Civil Practice Act, which has been passed by the New York Legis- lative Body. The officers of the club are: Mr. James P. Welsh of New York City, President; Mr. Frederick Schlo- bohm of New York City, Vice President; Air. Spencer Cleveland of Buffalo, Sec- retary; Mr. Rubin Carlson of James- town, Treasurer; Mr. J. Louis Shell- man, Historian.

RHODE ISLAND LAW CLUB.

Among the Law Clubs of the Univer- sity, among those with the largest membership and consistent workers, is to be found the one which represents the small- est state in the nation, and that is Rhode Island. Though the state may be small, its representatives approach very close to the 60 mark in the number of men en- rolled on its roster. The officers of the club are: Mr. Joseph H. Hagan of Providence, President; Mr. James F. Hanahan of Providence. Vice President; Mr. Alfred A. Clark of Newport, Secre- tary; Mr. Edwin M. Mara of Pawtucket, Treasurer; Mr. Charles Curren of Provi- dence, Sergeant-at-Arms.

A salient feature in the year's program was the receipt of some good advice from Governor William S. Flynn, a George- town graduate, in which he admonished "diligent study while at law school as the only firm foundation of future success in the practice of law."

THE CARROLL LAW CLUB.

The activities of the Carroll Law Club for the present year will terminate with the holding of the annual banquet, proba- bly at the Raleigh, on Thursday, May 8th. That evening the newly elected officers for the next year will be installed after the formal presentation of the club's certificates to those Seniors who are eligible to receive them.

Much interest has been manifested in the work of this organization during the ' school year now drawing to a close. The fact that the waiting list has constantly contained the names of many students over and above the fifty members pre- scribed by the Constitution of the Club attests to its popularity among the student body.

The discussion of subjects, debated in Carroll Congress functioning as it does under the rules governing parliamentary procedure, has been most enthusiastic and beneficial and those members who have participated in the public prize debates at the Law School have met with gratifying success.

Keen rivalry is expected in the election of officers at the first meeting in May. The present active officers of the club are L. Clark Schilder of Ohio, Chancel- lor; Francis C. Damrell of California, Recorder; Charles B. Richter of Mis- souri, Comptroller, and Emmet Daly of Montana, Censor.

GEORGETOWN AFFAIR HELD IN NEW YORK

Continued from page 2

Georgetown Alumni Bulletin. There has been considerable discussion among our members of the advisability of erecting, or purchasing, in this city a piece of property to serve as the Georgetown Club. It is quite difficult at this time to attempt to ascertain the method of financ- ing such a project. Nevertheless, I have appointed a club committee, whose partic- ular duties will be to devise ways and means towards the consumation of such a plan. Mr. John McPike, familiar with the building conditions in this city, will act as chairman of this group. We feel that this work entails considerable effort and responsibility and I know that I speak the voice of all our members when I tell this committee that we are behind them heart and soul."

Mr. Keresey closed his remarks by thanking the members and honor guests for their assistance in making the dinner such a success and he called upon the body as a whole to put their shoulders together in an effort to place the society in the high position that it should oc- cupy in the great City of New York.

At this juncture Mr. Keresey read to the gathering, the following epistle from the Rev. J. B. Creeden, S. J., President

. of Georgetown, who expressed his regret at being unable to attend the func- tion and urging the establishment of per- manent quarters for a Georgetown Club in New York City:

9 April 1924. Mr. H. Donn Keresey,

23 Broadway, New York City.

MY DEAR DONN : Much to my regret, I find I shall be

unable to go to New York for the banquet. I wanted very much to say in public how much I appreciate the very loyal efforts you and Peter Maloney have made in the interests of Georgetown. Fathers Nevils and Walsh and Mr. Ham- ilton will tell you what we are doing here and what we propose to do.

At every banquet in recent years, the advisability of organizing and maintain- ing a Georgetown Club House in New York City has been discussed and approv- ed. I hope the club will be organized and formally opened during your term of office. Every year, our graduates, in increasing numbers, are going to New York to enter business.. There ought to be some central place where they can secure a home at reasonable charges and where they can find sympathy, guidance and cooperation. The club can be made a clearing house for useful information. If someone discovers a copper mine, he will know where to find you in a recep- tive mood for the information and if you know of someone who wishes to buy a million dollars worth of insurance, you can always find a ready seller at the club. Years of experience here in Wash- ington and experiments made by many colleges in New York have shown that such a club can be made self-sustain- ing. It would be no financial burden on the New York Alumni Association.

If you can get a club house started, you will be doing a very signal service to our young graduates. You can count on my cooperation and on the day the house is opened, I shall propose that a statue in your honor be placed in one of the vacant niches on the porch of the Healy Building.

Thanking you and the other members of the New York Alumni Association for your generous and enthusiastic support, I am, as ever,

Yours very sincerely, J. B. CREEDEN S. J.

The principal speaker of the evening, Mr. C. F. Kelly's remarks, might be boil- ed down under the heading of "The Place of the College Man in Industrial and Social Life." He reviewed most fittingly and comprehensively the tre- mendous advantages and resources to be

found by the college man entering into business in this country. He pointed ^>ut the need of good men, well trained and qualified to meet the heavy responsibilities that naturally fall to the leaders of eco- nomic and community life. He was proud to say that in his experience, both personal and by hearsay, it has been his pleasure to find that the Georgetown men, in both private and public life in this country are among the highest to be found. What might be interpreted as the most constructive part of his speech insofar as the actual future of the college man is concerned was the part that ran as follows: "The man leaving his

university today may find at first most severe obstacles in his path of progress. This may be accounted for by the fact that competitive conditions throughout this country today are more acute than ever before. The efficiency and general business standards have been advanced to a high degree by just such excellent training as the young men of Georgetown are receiving. The tasks call primarily for courage, perserverance, and high character. With these qualifications and the advantages of a superior education it will not be long before the college graduate takes his place among the ranks of successful and respected citizens."

REV. E. A. WALSH GIVEN BANQUET Continued from page 2

Honored by Pope. Father Walsh took his final vows in

the Society two weeks ago at the College, when he was the recipient of a personal message from Pope Pius XI and the General of the Jesuit Order in Rome, extolling the service he has rendered humanity through his work in Russia. He also received an autographed photo of His Holiness as a token of esteem.

Father Walsh is to leave soon for Germany, where he will be interested in relief work on behalf of the Vatican.

BLUE AND GRAY TRACK STARS TO FORE. PREPARING FOR PENN-RELAY CARNIVAL

Blue and Gray Team Had Highly Successful Indoor Season—Won, Own Carnival Easily and Made Clean Sweep of Johns Hopkins Meet—Captain Marster's Work Deserves Much Praise—Big Out- door Schedule Faces Tracksters—West Point and West Virginia on Card—Expect Good Showing at Penn Carnival.

By John J. Powers, '26.

Head Coach John O'Reilly's track men are daily whipping into shape for the big list of meets that the Blue and Gray runners will compete in. After an excellent indoor season in which the Hilltop tracksters showed up to be of a high calibre, Georgetown feels confident to place among the first, at the coming Penn Relay Carnival, and other important meets during the season.

In the long list of track stars, who have been developed at the Hilltop institution, the name of George Marsters must surely be placed high. Captain of the 1923-24 followers of the cinder-path, former National Junior half-mile champion, and present N. E. A. A. U. title holder, the fleet-footed Portland star will lead his men to the Quaker City, the South Atlantics, the I. C. A. A. A. A. championships and other events during the outdoor sport.

The indoor season of the track followers broke when the one-mile relay team journeyed to Brooklyn and showed distinctive class and supremacy over Rut- gers, Fordham, N. Y. U., and Columbia, by capturing the event by almost 40 yards. The same night the two-mile race was taken by the Blue and Gray runners, defeating their strongest opponent, Har- vard, by a half a lap.

Following up the showing made in New York the previous week, Coach O'Reilly's senior mile relay time entered the B. A. A. games at Boston, and literally breezed its way to victory out of a field of some 34 relay participants. Turning in the remarkable fast time of 3 :30 2-5, the Washington lads were applauded the victors of the evening over Holy Cross, Boston College, and the other entries.

BASKETBALL LETTERS AWARDED.

At a recent meeting of the Georgetown University Athletic Association, President of the Yard James H. Grasty, announc- ed the award of the coveted "G" to the following members of the basketball squad: Eugene Moses, Mgr., Captain George Carney, Sweeney, Brogan, O'Keefe,. Frederici, and Farley.

Reach Season's Apex.

Head Coach O'Reilly's men reached the apex of their indoor season when Convention Hall, at the Capital City, was the scene of Georgetown's twenty-second , indoor track carnival. This event proved to be one of the greatest gatherings of track and field stars ever assembled in the nation's capital. Well may the Hill- top College be proud of her speed mer- chants.

The meet brought forth many stars, paramount among them the unbeatable Joie Ray, stellar distance performer. The blonde Chicago lad broke the tape 34 yards in front of Vernon Booth, the John Hopkins old standby. It was the same evening that Sullivan, National A. A. U. junior 1,000 yards title holder, turned in the fastest mile that has ever been run in the District. He was clocked at 4 :2G :06. Sullivan, a New York City lad, promises to be among the luminaries in the track world.

Running from scratch in the 50-yard special, Murchison of the Newark A. C. nosed out Dowding of the Blue and Gray with Thompson of the Hilltop a close third. Murchison broke the tape at 5 :2 in his effort to lower the world's record, which stands at 5 :1.

Blue and Gray Defeats Pitt.

One of the easiest propositions the Georgetown distance medley relay has ever faced was in a match with the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh. The event proved to be a walk-away for the local runners ; each time a Blue and Gray man came to the next starter with a good lead.

The evening was given over to the O'Reilly lads, who piled up a winning score of 55 points. Penn was second with 8, Princeton third with 6 and Hop- kins fourth with 5 in the collegiate circles.

G. U. Repeats.

Repeating their performance two days later in Baltimore, the Georgetown track squad added glory to their colors when they defeated Johns Hopkins in a dual meet by winning eight of ten events. In the furlong half-mile events the Hill- toppers offered plenty of excitement to the- spectators. Captain Marsters, after

trailing his teammate for almost the entire distance, let out a burst of speed and broke the tape after demonstrating a brilliant feat in the art of running.

Clarke, the Johns Hopkins express flyer, who is rated as an Olympic pros- pect, established a new world's record indoor for the century dash, covering the boards in a semi-final heat in 9 4-5 seconds. His mark for the final was 10 seconds. Other features of the meet that dropped into the hands of Georgetown were the 880-yard run, in which the little captain from Maine created such a sensation; the 100-yard low hurdles in which Kearney of the Blue and Gray won with ease from Penn State and University of Pennsylvania, clearing the bar at 10 feet, 6 inches. Dave Shannon, the Hilltop pole vaulter, captured first place, defeating a big field of competitors. It was .on this occasion that Hills, of Princeton, was overcome by Plansky, a husky lad wearing the Blue and Gray colors, in the shot-put, heaving the weight 47 feet, 2 inches.

N. Y. Post Lauds G. U.

In an excellent article appearing in the New York Evening Post recently, the Georgetown University track stars received plenty of laudatory words. Es- pecially was the performance of Paul Herlihy and Vernon Ascher, both 440 time killers, praised to the extent of their chances for representing Uncle Sam in the 1921 Olympic games. The com- mendation came after Ascher, former Illinois A. C. star, now of Georgetown and holder of the junior national quarter- mile title, defeated a large field in excellent time in covering the middle distance. Herlihy, who started the season virtually unknown to the track world, broke into prominence when he defeated Fitch of the Chicago A. A. and senior national title holder of the 440 distance. The Georgetown runner's long, easy stride, with a powerful driving finish, gained for him a place in the hearts of many track followers.

Marsters Shines.

Thousands of fans will ever remember the brilliant performance of Captain George Marsters of Georgetown Univer- sity, when at the I. C. A. A. A. A. meet a short while ago, he started twenty yards behind a fast Boston College runner and overtook his rival before the end of the

JOHN D. 0'REII.LV, Track Coach

half-mile journey was covered. It will long be remembered that Marsters, by vir- tue of one of the most spectacular feats ever seen on a track, won the two two- mile, relay titles for his college. Accord- ing to Leroy Campbell, former Univer- sity of Chicago star half-miler, who timed the individual runners with a split- second watch, Marsters flashed a 1:54 3-5 "half"—taking the time from the scratch line to the yarn. Inasmuch as Marsters went back some 10 yards to take the baton from his teammate, his time for the whole distance covered must have been a shade under 1:54.

The American indoor record for the half-mile scratch running stands at 1:54 3-5, jnade by E. B. Parsons at Buf- falo twenty years ago.

Indoor Season Closed.

Making their final appearance of the indoor season, the Blue and Gray runners expressed up to the 22nd Regiment Armory, New York, and took second place at the N. Y. K. of C. games. The competing colleges consisted of George- town, Holy Cross, Notre Dame, and Bos- ton College.

It was the splendid finish of Tierney, the fast-stepping Holy Cross performer, that nosed out Coach O'Reilly's men. Notre Dame's highly touted record-break- ing quartet trailed the Capital City lads by 25 yards, while Boston College brought up the rear. By winning, Holy Cross established a new indoor record for the mile relay, covering the distance in 3 :26, which is two seconds less than the former record.

Big Schedule Ahead.

On Saturday, April 19, the Hilltop College will be the scene of a George- town Athletic Carnival. The early part of the day will be given over to a baseball contest between the Blue and Gray and Yale. Following the game, Coach John O'Reilly will bring his tracksters out to meet the University of West Vir- ginia runners in a dual meet. The Hill- top mentor has every reason to anticipate complete victory—with such men as Cap- tain Marsters, Herlihy, Sullivan, Ascher, Plansky and Norton, competing.

Right on the heels of the West Vir- ginia meet the "Silver Fox" will send his men to take part in the Penn Relay Car- nival at Philadelphia. The Hilltop entry is exceptionally large. Every event of importance will have the Blue and Gray colors entered.

Georgetown will inaugurate the Carni- val with the participation of the 1-mile relay team, composed of Herlihy, Kinnal-

ly, Holden, Brooks and Gegan. There is a possibility of Coach O'Reilly entering a 4-mile team, but as yet the Hilltop coach has not decided definitely on it. In case it is represented the most prob- able team will be, Harry Helme, the Buf- falo lad, who has performed so well in the indoor 2-mile ; Marsters, Brooks, and Wil- lie Sullivan. In the 880-yard relay, Gaf- . fey, Dowding, Kinnally and Hass will take care of the stepping.

The distance medley relay at a mile and seven-eighths, one of the many features of the classic, will find Herlihy, Hass, Gaffev, Holden and Marsters carrying the Blue and Gray. The Hilltoppers will also participate in the sprint medley relay and in the quarter-mile relay.

G. U. in Pentathlon.

In the special events, Harry Helme will run the two-mile grind. In the 440, mile, 3-foot hurdles, Gegan, who finished third in this event last year, will do the bound- ing and leaping. Hass and Dowding will compete in the running broad jump and the running high jump.

Georgetown will be strong in the field events. Plansky will participate in the running, hop, step and jump, shot put and javelin throw, with Shannon in the pole vault.

The Pentathlon situation will be left in the hands of Plansky, Norton and Shan- non. Plansky showed up well in the events for the Blue and Gray last year.

Triangular Meet to be Staged.

One week after the Quaker City Car- nival, the cinder men will participate in the South Atlantic Championships. May 10 will be the date of the event. Coach O'Reilly will depend upon Captain Mar- sters, who claims the South Atlantic mark of 1:55 1-5 for the half-mile; Paul Herli- hv and Kinnally, star quarter milers; Gaffey Hass and Gegan for the dashes. The Hilltoppers look forward to a repeti- tion of last year, when they cleaned up the board.

The U. S. Military Academy, Massa- chusetts Institute of Tech., and George- town will battle for honors on Satur- day, May 17, at West Point, N. Y. Some keen competition is expected in this tri- angle meet, especially from M. I. T., as track is the New England school's major sport, and she claims to have some good men on hand from whom much is ex- ported. The Army will put forth her best and it will be readily agreed that the well drilled West Pointers will put up a stiff battle for first place in the meet.

THE H O Y A

With the tf vaternities

Delta Phi Epsilon. Delta Phi Epsilon was founded four

years ago, at the Foreign Service School, as the first Foreign Service Fraternity, for the purpose of aiding the foreign re- lations of the United States. Already some fifty men are in the field from the chapter, while many others are engaged in promoting export and import trade from this country.

An important event at the chapter during the holidays was a dinner given to some of the economists, who visited Washington during their convention Christmas week. Professors Richard Ely, of Wisconsin, and William Fetter, of Princeton, were guests of honor, and Dr. William S. Culbertson, First Na- tional President of the fraternity; Dr. Notz, Dean of the school, and Mr. Thomas H. Healy, Assistant Dean, were guests as well. No formal talks were given, but the brothers had the privilege of an evening's visit with their guests. Several members of the fraternity also assisted in completing arrangements for the convention of the Economists' Asso- ciation, where Brother Notz was in charge of the Round Table.

DELTA THETA PI.

The fraternity was established at Georgetown in 1911 as the Theta Lambda Phi Fraternity. In 1913 it amal- gamated with the Delta Phi Delta and Alpha Kappa Phi fraternities, taking the name of the Delta Theta Phi Law Fra- ternity. It is today the largest law fraternity in the United States. The officials are: Dean, Walter J. Casey; Vice Dean, H. Dobel Anderson; Clerk of Rolls, William Mellet; Clerk of the Exchequer, William P. Confield; Master of Ritual, J. Harold Kilcoyne; Bailiff, Howard Vilsack, and Tribune, Austin F. Can- field. Among its members are Messrs. Thomas J. Clary, Editor-in-Chief of the Doomsday Book, and Patrick J. Corri- gan, both of New York State.

GAMMA ETA GAMMA. In order to dispel any erroneous ideas

that any individual may have concerning the "Mysterious Little Green House, at 1625 K St.," which has been Heralded and broadcasted throughout the civilized world, in connection with the Teapot Dome investigation, we beg to announce that it is now occupied by the National Legal Fraternity of Gamma Eta Gamma of this community, and also that there has not been any passing of $100,000 either to a government official or a member of the fraternity, that is, not to our knowledge; even though Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, and other high officials are brother Gammas.

The "Little Green House" is no longer mysterious unless you take cognizance of the fact, that the law presents many un- fathomed, abysmal, mysteries and the pursuance of the same, by members still living in the "Little Green House" still render it an unsolved problem. Despite being bothered by persistent reporters representing every paper upon this terres- tial globe of ours at night time the house presents a quiet, contented atmosphere and appearance.

The mysteries contained in the law books are diligently and satisfactorily being solved by these inmates of prodig- ous mental appetites, rind their insatiable, unquestionable thirst for knowledge, will render in the very near future, if not already, the "Mysterious Little Green House," no different from that of its staid, aristocratic, and well preserved neighbors.

PHI BETA PI CHI CHAPTER. The Phi Beta Pi fraternity is one of

the most prominent of the Georgetown fraternities. It numbers among its active members men who are prominent from both a scholastic and social standpoint. Its alumni are numerous and prosperous and still ardent supporters of their fra- ternal order. The roster of active members totals thirty-two men. The activities of the fraternity are numerous and each smoker, banquet, dance and get-together given by "Phi Bet" has always met with unqualified approval and success by those in attendance at these func- tions.

The annual St. Patrick's Day dance was thrown open to all the members of the Medical School, and the large number who attended attest to the success of the party. The following named men serve as the officials of the Chi Chapter: Archer, Mr. Edward F. Leonard, Pater- son, N. J.; Vice Archer, Mr. Harold L. Casey, Pennsylvania; Secretary, Mr. Ig- natius J. Murnore, Troy, N. Y.; Treas- urer' Mr. Jeremiah Rogers, Washing- ton, D. C.; Editor, Mr. John F. Lynch, Elmira, N. Y.; Chaplain, Mr. Gerald A. Scully, Buffalo, N. Y. In addition to the three officers who claim New York State as their home, Brother Joseph N. Zeff of Renssalaer, N. Y., is a wearer of the "Skull and Pelvis."

OMEGA UPSILON PHI. In October, 1921, the Lambda Chap-

ter of Omega Upsilon Phi was founded in the Medical Department of George- town University. Unlike many medical fraternities Omega Upsilon Phi is a national organization with chapters in many of the leading medical schools of the country.

DELTA CHI. The Georgetown Chapter of Delta Chi

Fraternity is located at 1402 Massachu- setts Avenue. The fraternity boasts of being the oldest at Georgetown, dating as far back as 1904. During the present school year the "Delts" have given a number of banquets, the most noted one being held just before the Christmas holidays. The banquet was given in honor of Senator Neeley of West Virginia, other prominent guests were Messrs. Tom Brahany, Carlton G. Ferris, and W. W. Bride. The banquet was a huge success and will long be remembered by the sixty members who attended.

The monotony of the study hall was broken last Thursday evening from the hour of 9 to 1, when the famous "Cali- fornia Ramblers" unloosed their synco- pating tunes and furnished music for one of the most enjoyable dances held at the fraternity house this year.

Georgetown won the prone-standing match with University of Pennsylvania, and the prone match with Drexel.

You won't fumble this cap! Professional jugglers could handle the old-

style shaving cream caps and never once drop one down the drain or under the bath tub. But for most of us, this new Williams Hinge- Cap puts an end to an ancient nuisance.

Williams Shaving Cream is just as much pleasanter to use as is the Hinge-Cap. It softens the beard with uncanny speed. The thicker lather holds the moisture in against the skin where it is needed. This lather lu- bricates the skin, too, so that painful razor friction is eliminated. And when y our shave is done, that famous ingredient in Williams which helps the skin, leaves your face cool, soothed and refreshed. No coloring matter is used in Williams — it is a pure, natural- white shaving cream.

THE H O Y A

DELTA SIGMA PI. Mu chapter of Delta Sigma Pi was

installed at Georgetown University June 8, 1921, six days before the first confer- ring of degrees by the Foreign Service School. From that date, the chapter has enjoyed steady growth and increase in influence until today it numbers an undergraduate membership of 25 and a total membership of 112.

Outstanding among its membership are Dr. Lee S. Rowe, Director of the Pan- American Union; William Reid and Dr. J. D. Coutinho, of the same organization ; Grosvenor Jones, Chief of the Finance and Investment Division of the U. S. Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce; Eugene Gregg, Chief of the Transportation and Communication Di- vision of the Bureau of Foreign and Do- mestic Commerce, and P. A. Bonet, Cuban Consul General at Halifax, N. S. There are members in Brazil, Ecuador, Poland, Persia, Germany, Peru, Mexico, and Argentina, and a large representa- tion in the American Consular Service and the Foreign Service of the U. S. De- partment of Commerce.

SIGMA NU PHI. The fraternity is now preparing for the

term of the High Court of Chancery, which will be held in Washington this year, May 1, 2 and 3. These three days will be devoted entirely to fraternity meetings in the interest of the fraternity at large. During this time the delegates from all chapters of the fraternity will be entertained by the local chapters as well as by the National Council which will entertain the delegates at a banquet and dance. The term of the High Court this year is expected to surpass those of the past. The Charles Evans Hughes (Beta) Chapter has for its officers: Chancellor, John J. Burke; First Vice Chancellor, Aaron Reed; Second Vice Chancellor, James M. Keating; Regis- trar of the Exchequer, James F. Swift; Master of the Rolls, James A. DeLang; Marshal, Maurice M. Lyons; Librarian, John P. Q. McGinniss.

The fraternity will have its usual dances and banquets during the remainder of the year closing with their Annual Commencement Dance for Sigma Nu Phi Seniors.

KAPPA ALPHA PHI The scholastic year 1923-24 has been the

most prosperous one in the history of Alpha Chapter, Kappa Alpha Phi Fra- ternity.

In May, 1923, the following members were elected to guide the destinies of the chapter during the present year: J. S. McGrath, president; W. J. McManus, vice-president; C. E. Cordes, treasurer; F. C. Cleary, secretary; G. J. Moran, steward; U. E. Conlon, ritualist; J. L. Curran, sergeant-at-arms; W. O. Bar- rett, monitor.

The members had the pleasure of meeting several of their fellow students at smokers held on November 3 and 17, 19S3. During the months of October, November, and December, several Sun- day afternoons were pleasantly spent at informal dansants held at the Chapter House, 1726 N Street, N. W. A New Year's party, reported to have been a very successful affair socially, was arranged for members of the chapter remaining in Washington over the Christmas holidays.

Plans for the extensive renovation of the Chemistry Department are now nearing completion. A new laboratory has been built in the lower Healy corridor, which is devoted entirely to Organic Chemistry.

Georgetown was well represented in the Catholic Students' Mission Crusade. Mr. Charles E. Clifford, of the Senior class, took the leading part as the cru- sader.

Foreign Service School. A large number of students from the

Foreign Service School spent a good part of the summer months in Europe studying the conditions of the various countries. Among the numerous places visited were Lisbon, Seville, Granada, Madrid, and Barcelona. Different groups detached themselves from the main body and made trips to Italy, Germany, Swit- zerland, Belgium, France, and Ireland. An interesting set of notes on the tour has been compiled by Mr. Connie R. Herron, assistant leader of one of the groups.
