THE LECTURE SERVICE 35 During the months, December 1921 and January 1922, a series of lectures commemorative of the sixth centen- ary of Dante were given on Monday afternoons, the subject being, "The Divine Comedy." There Monday was an introductory lecture by Mark J. Mc- Lectures Neal, A.B., '93, Litt.D. The Dean of the Graduate School gave four beautifully illustrated lectures, "The Greatest Christian Poem," "The Journey Through the Home of Despair," "The Journey Through the Land of Hope" "The Journey Through the Home of Everlasting Happiness;" the con- cluding lecture was by Dr. Conde Benoist Pallen. Great appreciation of the series was expressed by the Alumni and friends of Georgetown. The attendance was most gratifying. It was suggested that there could be inaugurated "The Georgetown Monday Lectures," to be given in the afternoons and and special invitations be sent to our Alumni and friends in the District. We are pleased to record that from the very start it was seen that the Monday Lectures should become a perma- nent institution of this venerable university. Hence, during Lent the following illustrated lectures were given in Gaston Hall : THE POPE, ST. PETER'S AND THE VATICAN, by Francis Regis Donovan, S.J. BELFAST TO LONDON, by Francis Regis Donovan, S.J. SOME OF OUR BIRDS : THEIR HOMES AND THEIR TRAVELS. By John Ambrose Brosnan, S.J. WHY ARE GENIUSES ECCENTRIC? By Francis Xavier Doyle, S.J.

THE MISSING LINK. By John Patrick Meagher, S.J. At a meeting of the President and Directors of George- town College held January, 1922, it was decided that among the publications of the University should be included the Georgetown University Lee- Georgetown t ure Service. As many of the professors University and assistant professors at the College Lecture and the professional schools have at var- Service ious times delivered public lectures at the University and elsewhere, and have had every reason to feel that the time spent in preparation and the energy expended in delivery have rendered service to the cause of higher education and have more- over provided entertainment that is pleasing as well as cultural, it has been deemed proper to establish at the University a Lecture Service whereby available lectures of the Faculty and the Alumni may be better known and arrangements for their delivery may be facilitated through a convenient agency. It is the purpose of the University to publish annually a booklet giving sufficient details of lectures whether individual or serial, which are available for the current year. While some of these lectures will be given at the University, arrangements can be made, through the Chairman of the Lecture Serv- ice, for the lectures to be given at other institutions, at meetings of societies, or at occasional gatherings in Washington or elsewhere. The Lecture Service pub- lished January, 1922, embraced over a hundred lectures on the following subjects: Philosophy and Religion, Literature, Science, Biography and History, Education, Sociology and Political Science, Art and Travel. A detailed outline of each lecture is given; there is also a Who's Who and an exhaustive general index. Respectfully submitted, July 1, 1922. W. Coleman Nevils, Chairman. ®l|p Abating BatuiuB To the President of the University. Sir : I have the honor to present the triennial report of the activities of the debating societies of Georgetown University. During the past three years not only has the long standing tradition of enthusiasm for de- The Debating bating been preserved at Georgetown Societies but the field has been enlarged and four debating societies are thriving in the Arts and Science Department. The membership of each of these societies is limited and at the close of the scholastic year there was a waiting list of aspirants. Never in the history of the University was greater inter- est shown among the students; they have received great encouragement because of remarkable successes in the inter-collegiate debates. The pioneer Debating Society, The Philodemic, found- ed in 1830, has never been in a more flourishing condi- tion and it continues its usual activities in the inter- collegiate field. The Philonomosian Society, which was founded in 1839, had been transferred to Four the Preparatory School in 1910. Upon the Debating removel of that school from Washington to Societies Garrett Park, the Philonomosian Society was returned to the College and in Febru- ary, 1921, was completely reorganized. A few necessary changes were made through amendments to the old constitution. It has enjoyed the greatest enthusiasm among the students and gives promise of splendid serv- ice. The purpose of the Edward Douglas White Society, founded 1912, and of the Gaston Debating Society, founded 1913, is to prepare the freshmen and sopho- mores for the senior debating societies. Meetings are held weekly in the Philodemic Hall where chosen mem- 37 38 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY bers are to appear in a carefully prepared debate. After the close of the regular debate the question is given to the house that all, the members may participate in an ex-tempore debate. A vote is taken to decide the merits of the debaters and a decision is given as to the best speaker of the evening. The faculty representative then points out the virtues and defects of the debaters. An inter-society debate takes place each spring in Gaston Hall to which the public are invited. The Gaston Society thus far has been victorious in all the contests held. The White Society has not in the slightest been daunted by this and each succeeding year finds its mem- bers all the more eager for the first victory over the Gaston. In the academic year, 1921-1922, two new features were inaugurated by the Philonomosian Society. The Society adopted the rule of an open forum at the close Pfoilo- °^ eacn debate in which the individual members were at liberty to speak on any „ . current vital topic. Ihis plan was success- ful and was found to develop more enthu- siasm to debate than the majority-picked topics of the weekly debates. Though the presence of the members was not of obligation during the open forum, over 75 per cent, usually remained for the major time of the discussion. Toward the close of the school year the Society inaug- urated its Lecture Bureau. The Bureau forms lecture clubs or teams to address societies or gatherings outside of the University on economic and sociologi- Lecture cal topics and political principles. On these Bureau clubs, two or three men divide the ordinary forty-five minute or hour individual address into two or three parts. This innovation was received by the College and its Alumni and Friends with acclaim — one of the most notable acts of approval being a letter from the Most Beverend Michael J. Curley, D.D., Arch- bishop of Baltimore, in which he praised the educational value of the Bureau. Due to a late start the Lecture Bureau was able to send out but one lecture team in the first school year. THE DEBATING SOCIETIES 39 This team, consisting of Messrs. Frank T. O'Connor, Esmond Murphy and James J. Kirwin, Jr., lectured on the "Living Wage" at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Washington, May 22, under the patronage of the Potomac Council, K. of C, and later on June 6 to the members of Carroll Council, K. of C. To insure the success of the Lecture Bureau during the coming year the members of the Philonomosian Society already are laboring on several lecture subjects. Amongst those in preparation are: 1. A Literary Lecture. 2. The Constitution. 3. The Philosophy of the Newspaper and Popular Literature. 4. Discontent in America. Most of these lectures will be ready for public delivery shortly after the opening of the fall semester, 1922. The Philodemic Society was organized September 25, 1830. It is generally supposed to be the oldest debating society in the United States. The Merrick Debating Medal was funded by Richard T. Merrick, The LL.D., 73. The Hamilton Philodemic Philodemic Medal is awarded for the best ex tempore Society debate. The medal was founded by George E. Hamilton, LL.D., Dean, George- town University Law School. On Sunday evening, Feb- ruary 15, 1920, the annual Merrick debate was held in Gaston Hall. The Merrick Medal was awarded to Robert J. Riley, '20, West Virginia. The question was, Resolved: — That the ammendment to the Immigration Bill, propsed by Senator Phelan for the exclusion of the Japanese, should be adopted. The affirmative, Robert J. Riley and James C. McCann. The negative, Thomas A. Dean and Paul de W. Page. The Ham- ilton ex tempore debate of the Philodemic Society was held in Gaston Hall Sunday, May 9, 1920. The George E. Hamilton Medal was awarded to Robert J. Riley, '20, West Virginia. The question was, Resolved: — That im- igration into the United States should be prohibited for a period of ten years. Affirmative, John S. McCann, Robert W. Wimsatt and Robert J. Riley. The negative, 40 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY Paul De W Page, Claude M. Granger and James C. McCann. The Philodemic Society conducted its annual Merrick Debate on Sunday, December 5, 1920. The Merrick Medal was awarded to Leo J. Casey, '21, Vermont. The question was, Resolved: — That the Philippine Islands should be granted independence within one year. Affirmative, Robert W. Wimsatt and Paul de W. Page. Negative, Leo J. Casey and Meredith Reid. The Ham- ilton Medal was won by Robert E. Ward, '22, Illinois, at the Hamilton Ex Tempore Debate Sunday, April 24, 1921. The question was, Resolved: — That the United States should adopt a system of universal military training. Affirmative, Joseph A. McDonough and Robert W. C. Wimsatt. Negative, Robert E. Morgan and Robert E. Ward. On Friday December 16, 1921, in Gas- ton Hall the annual Merrick Debate for the Merrick Medal was held under the auspices of the Philodemic Society. The question was, Resolved: — That all indus- trial disputes should be settled by compulsory arbitra- tion. Robert E. Ward, '22, Illinois, was the winner. The affirmative, John S. McCann and Robert E. Ward. Negative, Sylvan J. Pauly and Joseph A. McGowan, Jr. The final debate of the year was the annual Hamilton Ex Tempore Debate of the Philodemic Society. The question was, Resolved: — That the Present Immigra- tion Law should be re-enacted for a period of five years. Affirmative, John S. McCann, William J. McGuire and Charles R. Lowndes. Negative, J. Rurke Walsh, Sylvan J. Pauly and Joseph A. McGowan, Jr. Sylvan J. Pauley was awarded the George E. Hamilton Medal for the best debate. The debate was held on Sunday, May 14, 1921 in Gaston Hall. In the inter-collegiate and inter-university debates during the past three years the Philodemic Society of Georgetown has met one team from Colum- Six Inter- bia, one from Princeton, three from Laf ay- Collegiate ette and two from Yale. In all there were Victories seven inter-collegiate contests and in all, except one debate with Lafayette, George- town was victorious. Columbia University was de- THE DEBATING SOCIETIES 41 feated by Georgetown in the first intercollegiate debate of the academic year, 1919-1920. The debate was con- ducted in Gaston Hall before a large and most appre- ciative audience. The Georgetown debaters upheld the negative side of the question, Resolved: — That the Plumb Plan should be adopted as a solution of the railroad problem. The decision of the judges was unan- imous in favor of Georgetown. On April 23, 1920, the question, Resolved: — That labor through representa- tives of its own choice should share in the management of corporate industry, was debated with Lafayette Col- lege. Georgetown defeated the affirmative and was again victorious. On March 3, 1921, Yale University was defeated by Georgetown on the question, Resolved: — That the em- ployers of the United States should abandon the prin- ciple of the open shop. Georgetown sustained the neg- ative side and won a unanimous decision. The very same week, March 5, 1921, on the same Victories question, but defending the opposite Over Yale side, Princeton University was defeated. and Princeton The versatility of our debaters and their allround grasp of the momentous ques- tion was commended by all who attended the debates. A most courteous letter of congratulation was received from Yale. Lafayette and Georgetown defended both sides of the question, Resolved: — That the use of the injunction should be abolished in labor disputes, on Friday, April 8, 1921. Georgetown's affirmative team won by a vote of 4 to 1. The negative team was defeated by a decision of 2 to 1. A most interesting debate between Yale and George- town was held in Gaston Hall, Saturday, March 18, 1922. The question was, Resolved: — That the United States in joint action with England, France and Japan, should recognize the Soviet Government of Russia. Affirma- tive, Yale. The decision of the judges was 4 to 1 in favor of the negative side, which was supported by Georgetown. 42 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY Several other Universities were invited to debate Georgetown, but only those mentioned above cared to accept. It is our plan to continue this useful exercise and it is hoped that still more colleges will be willing to compete with our debating societies. Respectfully submitted, John J. Toohey, Chancellor of the Philodemic Society. July 1, 1922. ®lje Iramattr §>at\ttWB To the President of the University. Sir : I have the honor to present a brief report of the activities of the Dramatic Societies of Georgetown Uni- versity from September, 1919, to June, 1922. During the World War the usual dramatic exercises so traditional in this venerable university were almost entirely suspended. At the beginning of the scholastic year, 1919-1920, the oldest dramatic The Mask and society of the College was completely Bauble Club reorgainzed. A new name was adopted and henceforth the society was to known as "The Mask and Bauble Club." It was felt that this designation would clearly indicate that the society would embrace both tragedy and comedy. An entirely new constitution was written and accepted with the hope that dramatics would thrive with the old time vigor under this reorganization. The year 1920 saw an unusual performance in the field of College dramatics. A single section of the Freshman class, under the direction of their able pro- fessor of English Literature, produced the entire play of Twelfth Night in a most creditable manner. Twelfth All the characters were chosen from the class Night and the complete management and financing of the performance was assumed by the mem- bers of the section. The incidental music, which was most attractively suited to the various scenes, was origi- nal and the stage effects and properties were due to the remarkable skill of the students. Highest commen- dation was received from all present and some critics of note pronounced the feat quite unique in the annals of a college. On a much larger scale in 1921-1922 the Mask and Bauble Club undertook the production of "Julius 43 44 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY Caesar." It was discovered that one hundred years before parts of the same play had been rendered by the students of Georgetown in 1821. As the main idea of the Mask and Bauble Club is the develop- Julius ment of dramatic talent in as many as possible Caesar and as it has for its object the performance of plays of highest literary merit, it was felt that there could be no better selection for the annual produc- tion than Shakespeare's great Roman tragedy. Two performances were given in Gonzaga Hall. The cast was chosen from the four College classes and over ninty participated. While those who sustained the prin- cipal parts did remarkably well, it was rather in the extraordinary acting of the Roman mob that the play excelled. As great enthusiasm was stirred by the perfor- mance it is felt that the Mask and Bauble Club is quite assured of success. During the month of February at the Foreign Service School two Hindu plays were presented under the auspices of the Society for the Union of the East and the West. The plays were presented in an Hindu English translation under the leadership of Dramas Das Gupta and Robert A. Sparks. The first was a romatic comedy, "The Maharam of Arakam;" the second was a light tragedy, "Santri, or Love Conquers Death." The two styles of Hindu Were much enjoyed by those who had the privilege of attend- ing. A new interest has been shown in the study of Shakespeare during the past two years. By the munifi- cent bequest of our late William F. Quicksall, AB. '61, AM. 72, LL.B. 72, there is to be awarded annually a hundred dollar gold medal to the stu- The Quicksall dent of the Arts department who passes Shakespeare the best oral examination in three plays Medal of Shakespeare selected by the Dean. Up to the present these examinations have been held privately under the exclusive scrutiny of three Shakespearean scholars. It is proposed that an elimination contest take place earlier in the year and that from this examination three contestants be chosen THE DRAMATIC SOCIETIES 45 to appear in Gaston Hall for a public specimen. Rep- resentatives of the Washington Shakespeare Society will be iDvited to preside. It is planned to have appropriate songs sung from the plays of Shakespeare between the contests and that while the judges are absent for delib- eration steriopticon views of the dramas be portrayed on the screen. The entire program will give a com- prehensive appreciation of the plays, and afford a pleasant and profitable evening for all. Respectfully submitted, Bernard A. Leeming, July 1, 1922. Director of Drama. DEC M Stje HluBtral ©tuba ^1 i . . . — — — .- - i ^ To the President of Georgetown University. Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith the report on the activities of the musical clubs at Georgetown University during the past three years. While a general review of the past is very gratifying in view of the initiative and co-operation thus far dis- played, the hope is entertained that the advance of the next three years will give even greater satisfac- Glee tion, as the field of musical activity is extensive Club and the prospects most encouraging. The War, which established the Students' Army Training Corps at Georgetown put an end to many activities, among them the Glee Club. But in Septem- ber, 1919, the Club was completely reorganized. The usual Mi-Careme Concert was advanced to the Tuesday before the Christmas Holidays. On that night, a well- balanced programme was rendered by the Glee Club and the orchestra assisted by two soloists — singers of some repute in the City. The orchestra played upon sev- eral academic occasions during the school year. Since the reorganization of both the Glee Club and Orchestra, the principal event of the year has been the Mi-Careme Concert. These past two years the Clubs have been so fortunate as to secure the Mr. George services of Mr. George O'Connor and his O'Connor accompanist, Mr. Martin E. Home, LL.B., '15, as the chief attraction of their pro- gramme. Mr. O'Connor is an entertainer of high repute in the city, and his services are constantly in demand. In spite of this fact Mr. O'Connor has always freely and gladly given his services to his Alma Mater whenever a request has been made. His popularity is boundless, for at every performance he can never satisfy them with less than five or six selections. Mr. O'Connor has also afforded enjoyment each year to the alumni and their 47 48 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY friends, who attend in such great numbers the informal concert in the Quadrangle during Commencement Week. The Glee Club has also participated in various exer- cises of the annual Commencements. At the Baccalau- rate Mass, usually celebrated in the Dahlgren Chapel on the Sunday preceeding the Commence- Baccalaureate ment, those seniors who are members Exercises of the Glee Club, form the nucleus of the Senior Choir, that assists in singing the Mass. Their renditions of the Sacred Music have been quite pleasing, and their presence has lent an ap- propriate background for this inspiring collegiate cere- mony. The activities of both Glee Club and Orchestra have been confined, for the most part, to Gaston Hall within the college walls. However, during the past year they have received many invitations to appear at various functions in the city. A concert was given for the soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital on April 2 and at Mount Alto Hospital on April 11. On April Glee Club 27 the Glee Club rendered several of their Concerts numbers before the members of the City Outside Club. On all of these occasions the students College were most hospitably entertained by their hosts, and their efforts were appreciated and highly praised. In this connection it might be well to stress the need of these outside appearances of the organiations, as they act as a great inducement to the students to join the clubs, and as a stimulus to increas- ing interest as the year progresses. There have been too few of these activities during the last three years to keep up the proper interest in both Glee Clubs. Several of the alumni in this city and in neighboring cities might take an interest in the welfare of the Musical Clubs, and make some endeavors to have them secure their services for performances outside the college. It is quite true that during the past year many more outside perform- ances could have been given towards the close of the year, but it Was feared that they would interfere with THE MUSICAL CLUBS 49 the more important scholastic pursuits, so the offers were declined. With a view to a more universal participation in musical activities, courses in the appreciation of music were instituted at the college during the past few years The entire ground of musical appreciation is covered very thoroughly, and in a manner that is most interest- ing to the student. Music Forms, Vocal Courses in Forms, The Content of Music, are treated Music at in the first part of the course. In the College second part the performance of music, both vocal and instrumental is discussed. It is to be hoped that as time goes on these courses can be extended. It is fitting in this review of musical activities to men- tion the improvement in the Chapel Organ. Since his Freshman year, James O'Donnell Hanlon, of the Class of '22 has been the college organist He Chapel showed his interest in the instrument in a Organ practical way, by having a motor installed in the basement of the Chapel, so that now the organ is no longer dependent upon the ancient man- power method of keeping the bellows filled. Owing to the fact that the time of rehearsals usually conflicts with the classes at the professional schools, the students of these schools have not been able to partici- . pate in the musical activities herein chron- icled. However, at the Prize Debates of the Law School, during the year an orchestra, under the direction of Thomas J. Enright and a quar- tette, made their appearance and entertained the audi- ence during the course of the debates. Their efforts were well received, and it is hoped that these organiza- tions may become permanent, and if possible effect a juncture with the clubs at the college.

Sir: I submit herewith my report on the work of the Student Publications for the years 1919-1922. The month of March, 1919, saw the appearance of the first number of the Hilltopper which, fro mthe smallest college weekly in the United States, has grown under its new name the "Hoya" into one of the largest and best edited papers in the collegiate world. The Hoya in cov- ering the purely journalistic field in the Uni- The versity has answered a real need, and its three Journal years of splendid service has more than justi- fied the initiation of this new enterprise in our student publications. As was natural, however, in the beginning the new paper was looked upon by some as an intruder upon the domain of the Journal which had carried on with such success for nearly fifty years and had gathered about it many friends and a rich tradition of Georgetown literary life. During the last two years it has grown increasingly clear that the Hoya has done the Journal a great benefit by releasing it from the em- barassment of being (what a monthly can scarcely hope to be) a news organ, and consequently has made it pos- sible for the Journal to realize more clearly and pursue more effectively its ideal of being the purely literary organ of the College student body. Some confusion of aims, if not in theory at least in practice were inevitable upon the initiation of a new Weekly. Consequent upon the confusion of aims it was likewise inevitable that the older publication should suffer eclipse by the novelty of the weekly. But what loss there was has been more than compensated for by the definition of the object of the Journal. More and more such students as are interested not so much in newspaper work as in the more permanent and purely literary forms of writing are being attracted to the Journal with the result that we can confidently feel that 51 52 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY the work of its second half century of existence will be, at the least, not less worthy of Georgetown than was the splendid achievement of the first. During the past three years, as part of the program to make the Journal the central organ of literary life of the college the members of the staff of editors have been closely associated with the literary movements in the student body. Last year saw the foundation of a very interesting experiment in the bi-monthly meetings of the Rhymers Club for informal discussion of the newer movements in American and English poetry. Members of this club have contributed articles on the Neo Litera- ture (some three hundred books came under review) which have aroused considerable interest both within and outside the college. Our verse writers, too, have been accorded generous space in the College Verse Authologies. The Journal has during the past three years in pursu- ance of an old custom published such essays, stories and verse as had taken first place in the annual and semi- annual literary prize competitions. 1922-1923 will mark the beginning of a new half century of life for the Journal. Naturally the com- memoration of the birth of the magazine and the cele- bration of fifty years of achievement will stimulate the formation of plans and policies for the future. We intend that these policies should follow along the best lines of our tradition. An Authology of Journal verse, which should do much toward linking the past with the present and the future, is in preparation by the members of the Rhymers Club and will, it is expected, be ready for publication early this year. The first class in Journalism at Georgetown edited and published a small sample copy of what they con- sidered a college newspaper ought to be. It The was in March, 1919, that this lone copy of the Hoya "Hilltop" appeared. With the second issue the name of the weekly became the "Hilltopper" and continued in the form of "the smallest college news- THE STUDENT PUBLICATIONS 53 paper published in the United States," until June, 1919. In September, 1919 the paper was enlarged to about half its present dimensions and from January, 1920, on was known as "The Hoya." This name was adopted from the battle cry of Georgetown students for generations and had been used previously by some annual publi- cations. Since the paper passed from the control of the class in Journalism to figure as a university organ its succes- sive editors have been: Joseph R. Mickler, Jr., Leo J. Casey, Thomas C. Kinsler and James J. Sweeney. The business managers of the paper during these years were : Joseph J. Greenlaw, James A. Butler and Michael J. Bruder. To these men in charge of the finances much of the credit for the paper's continued existence is due. The average cost per year of publishing the paper has been about $5,000. The circulation of the paper was confined originally to the student body at the College of Arts and Sciences. It has, however, developed into a university news car- rier with subscribers in the various schools and among the alumni and friends of Georgetown. During the last school year the Law Journal resumed successfully its publication, which had been suspended during the war. The Law Journal was revived under the same policy as had governed it dur- The ing its previous ten years of publication. Law Journal The members of the editorial staff are appointed by the Law School Faculty upon a basis of scholarship and general fitness for the work. Students so selected are given entire charge of publishing the Journal under the general supervision of the faculty. Respectfully submitted, John A. Waldron, Director. July 1, 1922. omv^smr of n i T- 1 ' DEC I 1922 ®ijp iiilitarg OHuba To the President of the University. Sir: I herewith submit a report of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps, Georgetown University, 1919- 1922. The primary object of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps is to provide a system of military training at civil education institutions for the purpose of qualifying selected students of such institutions as re- Object serve officers in the Army of the United States. It is intended to attain this object during the time that students are pursuing their general or pro- fessional studies, with the least practical interference With their preparation for civil careers. Upon gradua- tion from college, under the present plans of the War Department, qualified R. O. T. C. graduates who volun- tarily apply for commissions in the Officers' Reserve Corps are commissioned and assigned to organizations of the Organized Reserve Corps or National Guard in the localities nearest their places of residence. In this way there is established some continuity of service be- tween service in the colleges and in the citizen army of the United States. The National Defense Act of 1920, prescribes that the new Army of the United States shall be made up of the Regular Army, the National Guard and the Organized Reserves. That the training as given at Georgetown has been an unqualified success is evidenced by the rapid expansion of the military organization since 1919, and the results accomplished. Following the World War, Success the War Department urged upon the leading of the educational institutions of the country the Unit necessity and value of including military training in the education of the college gradu- ate so that in case of a future emergency there would be 55 56 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY instantly available a large number of trained officers to man the armies of the country upon which the safety of the nation would depend. Many institutions respond- ed to the patriotic call; others that had expierenced difficulty in maintaining their War time organizations, known as the Student Army Training Corps (S. A. T. C), discontinued military training altogether. George- town was one of the institutions to reorganize her mili- tary department, following the demobilization of the S. A. T. C, in January, 1919. The enrollment num- bered 103 cadets. In 1920, the enrollment Was in- creased to 140 and at the present time there are 316 students receiving military instruction, 256 in the In- fantry Unite at the College of Arts and Sciences and 60 in the Medical Unit at the Medical School. It is expected that the enrollment next year will reach the 500 mark. Both the faculty and the student body have enthusi- astically supported the various military activities. En- rollment in the College on a voluntary basis compares favorably with some institutions where military training is compulsory. Approximately 80 per cent, of the last Freshman Class at the College voluntarily enrolled. A military staff of five commissioned officers (two Majors, three Captains) and three non-commissioned officers (one Master Sergeant and two Sergeants) is now on duty at the institution conducting the Military courses of instruction as required by the War Staff Department. The following table will show the changes in the details of the Regular Army personnel since January, 1919: Date Date Name Duty of Detail of Relief Col. E. V. Bookmiller P.M.S. & T Feb., 1918. .

May, 1922 THE MILITARY CLUBS 57 There are two courses, the Basic and the Advanced. The first two years in the R. 0. T. G. comprise the Basic Course, and the last two years the Advanced Course. Basic Course students devote at least three Course of hours per week and Advanced Course stu- instruction dents five hours per week to military in- struction. Appropriate scholastic credits toward a degree are granted for a successful completion of the R. O. T. C. courses. That the R. O. T. C. has a broad and worthy mission can not be doubted. The means and methods employed by the R. O. T. C. to ac- complish its mission commend themselves to every considerate American. The course of training as now laid down by the War Department is based upon several assumptions established as lessons of the World War: 1st — That the commissioned officers of the future Armies of the United States must mostly be college men. 2nd — That the education of the modern citizen to be complete must include a knowledge of Military Science. 3rd — That every subject taught in any collegiate de- partment possesses some military value. 4th — That military subjects can be so arranged as to materially enrich the academic courses. 5th — That every student should be brought into inti- mate contact with the national government and be schooled in a clear understanding of his rights, privil- eges and obligations as a citizen. 6th — That every member of a military establishment must be physically as well as mentally fit for his every duty. 7th — That every college man should be taught the meaning of discipline, the power of confidence, the value of self control, the requisites of leadership, respect for authority, the force of morale, the care of mind and body and the rewards of promptness and obedience. In connection with the R. 0. T. C. course of instruc- tion, Basic Course students are privileged to attend a summer camp while Advanced Corps students are required to attend a camp. During the past Summer three years, the camps attended by George- Camps twon students have been in different localities. In 1919 Georgetown had representatives at 58 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY Camp Lee, Va., Camp Devens, Mass., and Camp Know, Ky., a student having the privilege of attending the camp nearest his home. In 1920 all Georgetown stu- dents that attended camp went to Camp Devens, Mass. According to the report of the Company Commander of the organization to which Georgetown students were assigned, the honor of making the highest record in Marksmanship fell to Georgetown. There were 16 in- stitutions represented in the company. In 1921 the Georgetown camp contingent attended the camp held at Plattsburg Barracks, N. Y. There were 38 institutions represented at Plattsburg. The following summary is given of the honors won there: 1st — Out of 10 students selected by a special board of officers as "distinguished" in all phases of military training, two — Joseph A. McDonough and Edward D. Murphy — were from Georgetown. (No other institu- tion succeeded in placing more than one student on the distinguised list.) 2nd — In the list published in camp orders of the highest point Winners in the entire camp of 982 students. The first and second students on the list were Joseph A. McDonough and Edward D. Murphy with scores of 1409 and 1406 respectively, out of a possible 1500. 3rd — Edward D. Murphy won the pistol championship of the camp. 4th — In general efficiency, Georgetown was rated as second on the list of 38 institutions. The summer camp for the Infantry Unit will be held at Edgewood Arsenal, Md., from June 15 to July 26, 1922. Students from the Medical School will attend camp at Carlisle Barracks, Pa. In order to demonstrate to neW students the activities of the R. O. T. C. and the handling of the various weapons used in modern war, there Military was ne ld soon after the opening of Demonstrations, College in 1920 and again in 1921, a Competitions, military maneuver on the college Inspections, grounds featuring a simulated attack Parades, Etc. on an enemy machine gun nest. All of the equipment issued the R. O. T. C, including Browning Machine Guns, Automatic rifles, THE MILITARY CLUBS 59 Springfield rifles, hand grenades, rifle grenades, signal pyrotechnics, carrier pigeons, smoke torches, 37 m-m. guns and Stokes Mortars, were employed in the maneu- ver. In addition to the foregoing, five airplanes from Boiling Field, a tank from Camp Meade, Md., and a wireless telephone set for communication between a station set up on the College grounds and the airplanes overhead, assisted in the problem. Both demonstrations were very realistic and were muchly enjoyed by stu- dents and visitors. Such demonstrations are not only great morale builders for a military organization, but they are very instructive to the students who participate in them. Competitions of various kinds enter into all phases of military training in the R. O. T. C. There are class competitions for honors in scholarship, rifle competi- tions between classes and sections of the several classes, and competitive drills of various kinds. Every effort is made to develop the pride of the cadet in his own record, that of the R. O. T. C. and also in the institution. A system of efficiency charts showing the progress of each cadet in Scholarship, Deportment, Attendance, etc., is made and posted every month so as to show each individual his record in relation to every other member of the unit. This system has resulted in securing a high standard of training in the military department. At the end of the school year in 1921, and again this year, the Chamber of Commerce of Washington awarded four prizes to the winners, one in each class, of the efficiency tests in the R. O. T. C. Robert W. C. Wimsatt, '21; Joseph A. McDonough, '22; Edward D. Murphy, 23, and James A. Willis, '24, won the efficiency prizes in 1921. On May 26, 1921, Military Day, the annual competitive drills were held. The list of events included an indi- vidual competitive drill (won by Godwin Ordway, '24), an inter-company drill (won by Company B, command- eded by J. Fuller Morgan, '21), and marksmanship con- tests with the automatic rifles (won by Joseph A. Mc- Donough, '22), and the machine gun (won by Robert W. C. Wimsatt, '21.) The events included in the Military 60 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY Day held on May 23, 1922, with results, are indicated below : Efficiency Tests — Covering year's work in Scholarship, Attendance, Deportment, etc., won by Joseph A. Mc- Donough, '22; Charles L. B. Lowndes, '23; Wilbur Gass, '24, and Joseph B. Brennan, '25. Prize presented by Chamber of Commerce. Individual Competitive Drill, won by William C. Saf- farrans.

Commissions as Second Lieutenants Officers' Reserve Corps — To be awarded on date of graduation, June 12, 1922, to the following named cadets of the Senior Class : Brennan, H. B.; Carney, G. M.; Little, J. F.; McDonough, J. A.; McNally, J. A.; Morgan, R. E.; O'Neill, C. J., and Roddy, J. B. Mr. Joseph A. McDonough, of New York, is announced as the "Honor Graduate," class of 1922. The most important public appearance of the R. 0. T. C. battalion during the past three years was on Armis- tice Day, November 11, 1921, when the entire unit marched in the procession in connection with the burial of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington Cemetery. The cadets spent many extra hours of free time in prepara- tion to march on that memorable occasion and the bat- talion was highly complemented by the Army officers in charge for the excellent showing made. The R. 0. T. C. has been inspected numerous times during the past two years by distinguished visitors. THE MILITARY CLUBS 61 Some of the most important inspections or visits are listed below: Col. William C. Rivers, 3rd Cav., Commanding Officer, Ft. Meyer, Va., May, 1921. Senator James W. Wadsworth, Jr., Chairman Senate Military Committee, September, 1921.

The record of the rifle team at Georgetown in 1920- 1921 and 1921-1922 is a brilliant one. Rifle shooting is now a minor sport at the institution and many of the students have achieved remarkable success in it. In fact, no other institution has a record indicating such a large number of expert shots as Georgetown. Both last year and this year, the Georgetown second and third teams entered in the National Rifle Association Inter- collegiate Matches showed themselves far superior to the first teams representing some of our largest Amer- ican colleges. It has been the policy at George- Rifle town to develop a large number of expert rifle- Team men rather than a single team of five or six primarily for the purpose of winning matches. An additional policy has been to teach riflemen the art of shooting in all positions prescribed — prone, standing, kneeling and sitting — rather than concentrate all in- struction on the prone position, as many colleges are inclined to do. Membership in the Georgetown University Rifie Club is open to any undergraduate in the institution in good standing. The club Was organized in the fall of 1920 with a membership of 136 members and it immediately 62 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY affiliated with the National Rifle Association of America. The following officials were elected : President, Robert W. C. Wimsatt, '21 ; Vice-President, Thomas Finn, '22; Executive Officer, Joseph A. Mc- Donough, '22; Secretary, Augustine Malley, '23; Mana- ger, Robert Morgan, '22; Student Coach, Edward D. Murphy, '23. The officers and non-commissioned officers on duty with the R. O. T. C. offered their services as instructors and official judges. Sergeant Michael J. Donahue is primarily responsible for the success of the rifle teams as he has worked faithfully since its organi- zation as instructor. During the first season (1920-1921) the team was somewhat handicapped on account of a lack of neces- sary equipment. The financial needs of the club were made known to the readers of THE HOYA, and soon thereafter, funds were available to purchase modern rifles, ammunition, etc. With the exception of the do- nations made during the early part of the first season (1920-1921), student members of the Rifle Club, by pay- ing club dues of $2.00 a year, have financed the rifle teams. It is hoped that Athletic Association will soon be able to take over this new sport and finance it. In addition to the National Rifle Association Matches, in which teams representing many colleges throughout the United States participated, Georgetown fired fifteen dual matches in 1920-1921. A summary of the dual matches and of the National Rifle Association Matches for 1920-1921 is published below: Georgetown, 462 Georgetown, 489 Georgetown, 922 Georgetown, 931 Georgetown, 499 Georgetown, 922 Georgetown, 495 Georgetown, 989 Georgetown, 496 Georgetown, 496 Georgetown, 496 Georgetown, 992 Georgetown, 992 Georgetown, 499 Georgetown, 499 Lehigh, 427.

In the one dual match lost, ten men fired on each team and the five high scores counted for record. By counting the ten high scores on each, the results of the match was a tie at 989. Georgetown entered two teams of ten men each in the N. R. A. Matches (1920-1921). This was an eight-stage match fired in the prone and standing positions.

As a result of two very successful seasons, the George- town Rifle Club is now recognized as one of the leaders in the shooting world. The sport has been enthusiastic- ally received at the College and the Rifle Club is out for the intercollegiate championship in 1923. The class of 1921 was the first to turn out graduates from the R. O. T. C. who were commissioned in the Officers' Reserve Corps. The following graduates were commissioned : Murray MacElhinny, Reserve Corps James Fuller Morgan, Paul D. Page, Commissions Jr., and Robert W. C. Wimsatt. The latter, being honor graduate, was com- missioned in the Air Service of the Regular Army and is now in the service stationed at Carlston Field, Fla. Commissions will be awarded to the following named graduates of the class of 1922: Henry R. Rrennan, George M. Carney, Joseph F. Little, Joseph A. Mc- Donough, James S. McNally, Robert E. Morgan, Cornel- ius J. O'Neill, Jr., John R. Roddy. Not to exceed 20 per cent, of the total number of col- leges or universities which maintain senior units of the R. 0. T. C. are eligible to be designated in War Depart- ment orders as "Distinguished Col- Georgetown leges." To be rated as "Distinguish- A Distinguished ed" is the aspiration of every institu- College tion maintaining military organiza- tions. A special committee of the War Department General Staff makes an annual inspec- tion during April and May with a view to selecting the distinguished colleges. The rating "Distinguished" lasts for one year. The following outlines and principle factors are considered in the annual determination of the institutions designated for the distinguished list: (a) Training and instruction facilities, (b) Support of the R. O. T. C. by the faculty and student body, (c) Efficiency of theoretical and practical instruction. At the end of the school year, 1920-1921, the great honor of receiving the rating "Distinguished" was at- 66 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY tained by Georgetown as the following bulletin will explain : Bulletin) WAR DEPARTMENT No. 11.)

From the foregoing list it will be observed that Georgetown was classified with institutions most of which have had military organizations for many years. The inspection by the General Staff* Committee was made on April 24, 25 and 26 of the present school year and it will not be known until about graduation time whether or not the rating "Distinguished" has been maintained. At any rate, it may be said that the R. 0. T. C. is now completing the most successful year since its organiza- tion in 1919. The future prospects are excellent and it is safe to predict that this most worthy organization will ever be a credit to Georgetown and our great country. Respectfully submitted, William H.

Sir: As Faculty Director of Athletics I have the honor to present the following report of student activi- ties since September, 1919. During the three years that have just elapsed many innovations have taken place in this department and there is every indication that they have met with univer- sal approbation on the part of all con- New cerned. A new Constitution was written Constitution and unanimously adopted by the stu- dents of the various departments with faculty approval. The entire management of the affairs and property of the Athletic Association is vested in a Board of Directors consisting of nine members, three of whom are chosen from the Faculty, three from the Alumni and three from the undergraduates. The Faculty members of the Board are chosen by the Presi- dent and Directors of the University, the Alumni mem- bers are chosen by the Executive Committee of the Alumni Association, the undergraduates are selected by the undergraduates themselves. The Board meets the first Sunday of each month during the school year. Most satisfactory have been the results of this new or- ganization and many improvements have been effected in the various fields of activity. The full and unquali- fied requirement of at least one year's residence for all athletes has been insisted upon so that as far as eligi- bility goes Georgetown will meet any team in the country on an equal basis. However, as far as the op- ponents of the teams are concerned the same generous policy will be observed as heretofore — the Faculty of other recognized institutions are to pass upon the eligi- bility of their contestants; their approval will be suffi- cient guarantee for Georgetown. The entire student body have accepted this rule with characteristic enthus- 69 70 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY iasm. Special rules have beeen promulgated governing the wearing of the "G." Never before in the history of the University has there been a more remarkable record in athletic contests; while there have been years of just as great success in one or two departments it has not yet happened that all the departments, major as well as minor sports, have at the same time been so consistently triumphant. This has, indeed, been most gratifying to those in charge; we feel that the energy expended has developed the whole man and has put to test the remarkable versatility of our students. It is recognized by all educators today that organized outdoor sports under proper supervision are an invaluable asset of any institution. Every effort has been made to engage as many as possible in the open air sports and steps are being taken that no student of the College at least will be allowed residence on the campus who does not engage in some profitable outdoor exercise. In 1921 and 1922 Robert LeGendre, College '22, re- peated his remarkable record of 1919 when he not only won the Pentathlon Championship at the Penn Relay, but also at the Inter-Allied games held at Paris. This blue ribbon event of the inter-collegiate world has won for Georgetown three times in America Pentathlon and once abroad highest commendation Championships for possessing an allround athlete of international fame. There is no contest in which an athlete is put to greater test nor is there any event in the entire field of inter-collegiate sport that shows needs of greater versatility and physical ability. We are pleased to note that Georgetown's representa- tive in his four remarkable contests not only carried off the palm of victory but he has established Pentathlon records for the throwing of the discus and of the javelin and for the running of the 200 metres. The years 1921 and 1922 saw Georgetown's track athletes carry off two inter-collegiate championships. THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION 71 At the Harvard games, held June, 1921, Jimmy Con- nolly, of the Law Department, won the Intercollegiate inter-collegiate mile race, leading the Championships field in the fast time of four minutes and seventeen and one-fifth seconds. This event was regarded as one of the most spectacular races of the year. It was also at the Harvard Stadium that Robert LeGendre won an inter-collegiate cham- pionship through a broad jump of twenty-three feet seven and one-eighth inches. It was at the National Inter-Collegiate games held at Chicago, June, 1922, that Georgetown was again vic- torious upon the field and this time National Robert LeGendre set a national inter- Collegiate collegiate record for the broad jump Championship by a leap of twenty-four feet three inches, which breaks all former rec- ords by nearly one foot. Little need be said of Georgetown's triumphs in the South Atlantic field. It has, however, been quite re- markable that during the last years South our teams were victorious in 1921 on Atlantic our own grounds and again in 1922 Championships upon the field of the University of Vir- ginia where nine South Atlantic col- leges competed. At Charlottesville Georgetown won the two-day meet with a total of sixty-five points while Virginia was second with forty-five points. It was upon Franklin Field, University of Pennsyl- vania, that in May, 1922, Georgetown won two remark- able relay races. The Distance Medley R I Relay race was won against a large r , .. field on the first day of the Carnival Championships and the half _ mile relay championship was carried off on the second day. As these were the feature events of the two-day carnival, the victories were all the more gratifying. During February, 1922, at the National A. A. U. Meet, held in Buffalo, Georgetown's relay team became the 72 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY National Champions for the Distance Medley Race and established a new indoor record, which National may prove to be a world's record. The Championship contestants represented the pick of col- leges and athletic clubs of the country. The time was seven minutes forty-one and two-fifths seconds — the highest record up to that memorable oc- casion was nearly two seconds slower. Thus George- town wrests from Cornell the title held by that institu- tions since 1918. In March, 1920, the Georgetown relay team invaded the West for the second time in its history and was again victorious. In 1905 the world record for twelve hundred yard race was broken by the Western Georgetown team at St. Louis, Mo. It Championships was at Urbana that the traditions of 1905 were by the Georgetown repre- sentatives. Under the auspices of the University of Illinois the principal athletic indoor meet of the West is held each year. Georgetown accepted the invitation to run the Medley Relay, a two mile event, and was easily victorious. At the Knights of Columbus games held in Boston, March, 1922, the Georgetown Relay team defeated Bos- ton College, Fordham and Holy Cross in the Catholic College Relay Championship Race for the Cardinal Cardinal O'Connell Trophy. Previously O'Connell that same week the team had won two Trophy other championship races. As this was the first year this elaborate trophy was offered by Boston's distinguished Prelate, the victory was most eagerly coveted. In the many indoor and dual track meets, which were held during the three years, Georgetown was never defeated. The most notable dual meet was with Penn State early in April, 1922, in which Le- Other Gendre made six first places and Con- Notable nolly two. Among the victories of the Track Events other meets the Navy was beaten in the Sprint Medley relay and Virginia in the two-mile South Atlantic relay. At the Johns Hop- THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION 73 kins meet, which Georgetown easily won, Fordham's strong team was overcome in the Distance Medley race. In fact, at the Georgetown meet and at the South Atlantic Championship meets Georgetown has won practically every event. The Football team has also met with remarkable suc- cesses. In 1919 the year was most noteworthy for the victory at Annapolis over the strong Navy team. It was during the 1920 season that Georgetown defeated one of the best teams that Fordham has ever had. The 1921 season Football team met only one defeat and Football captured eight victories; Boston College, Fordham and Holy Cross were among those conquered and thus the Catholic College Championship of the East went to Georgetown. According to the 1920 edition of Spaulding Football Guide Captain Maloney of Georgetown is credited with the longest punt in many years — eighty-five years. This was on the day that Georgetown overcame the Navy at Annapolis. However, it was in 1921 at the victory over Holy Cross that Cap- tain Flavin, of Georgetown, set a record for punting that has never been equalled — one hundred and ten years. In the game with Georgia School of Technology Paul Byrne made the longest run of the season — ninty yards for a touchdown. The remarkable record of the Baseball team for 1922 is still fresh in the minds of all. Never at any Baseball time has Georgetown had a more successful season. The following list bears witness to the calibre of opponents met.

Some of the teams conquered were the Navy, Boston College, Yale, Fordham, Lehigh, Holy Cross, Princeton, Pittsburgh and Washington and Lee. The 1921 season opened with a victory over the University of Pennsylvania, which was quickly followed by a long record of triumphant contests which included Vermont, Fordham, Pennsyl- vania State College, Dartmouth, Cornell, Lafayette, Georgia Tech. The only game played with Holy Cross was a twelve-inning tie. The percentage for the year was .867. Ever since Basketball has been recognized as a major sport at Georgetown, interest in the indoor game has been continually growing and the enthusiasm was all the greater during the triennium just finished Basket as the teams have had most remarkable rec- Ball ords. In 1920 there were thirteen victories and only one defeat. In 1921 an excellent record was made, the strong teams from Carnegie Tech, Brook- lyn Polytechnic Institute, Georgia School of Technology, and North Carolina Were among those subdued. Nor was the year 1922 less successful as the team was victor- ious in eleven games triumphing over Bucknell, Univer- sity of Kentucky, George Washington, Villanova and West Virginia. The record of the Tennis team has been unequalled in the history of outdoor sport at Georgetown. This has THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION 75 altogether been due to the enthusiastic efforts of a mem- ber of the class of 1922, Raymond J. Kunkel, of Tennis Cincinnati. The season, 1922, was most suc- cessful and the victories were won from the Nacy, Bucknell, Johns Hopkinks, Rutgers, Loyola (Bal- timore), George Washington, North Carolina and Vir- ginia Military Institute. There was only one defeat; this occurred on the day when a championship team had to be sent to Richmond for the South Atlantic Inter-col- legite title, which title was awarded to Georgetown. This victory was received with great enthusiasm at the University and enhanced Georgetown's reputation in the world of outdoor sport We regret to state that our athletic accommodations have not kept pace with our successes in the various fields. Much is needed to supply proper athletic facil- ities for the contestants and spectators. It is hoped that the expansion of the University planned by the Board of Regents will take into serious consideration the needs of the Athletic Association. As it is the purpose to use the present athletic field for building sites, provision must be made for ample and up-to-date athletic ap- pointments. There is need of a stadium for the football and track events and also of an attractive and suitable baseball field. Every effort is being made to encourage those who can to help Georgetown to be second to none in athletic accommodations. Respectfully submitted, Vincent S. McDonough, S.J., July 1, 1922.
