Empire shape, with accordion-pleated

st. Johns Rock.

Rev. John Mcdowell Leavitt, ID. D.,
Ill. D, distinguished as a theologian,
educator, reviewer and author, is Il
guest of the Mont View Cottages.
Twenty years ago he was president
of the Faculty of st. Johns College,
Annapolis, and while on summer visit
here discovered and gave to st. John 5
Rock, il marked projection above the
summit on the Great Savage, about
mile due west of town, the college name.
This rock is next to the greatest ele-
Walton in Maryland, and commands Il
view surpassed by few attitudes i'll the
State.
In the year 1888, as indicated, DR..
Leavitt, accompanied by his friend,
William G. Devecmon, attracted by the
beautiful scenery and eXhilarated by the
delightful mountain air, while strolling
through the woods came to a huge pile
of rocks. On the top was Il small tree
This they climbed. Then burst OH them
the magnificent panorama now so fami-
liar to many MarylanderS.
The doctor obtained permission from
the owners of the land, hired labor, and
in il few days removed the trees which
for ages had hidden the splendid pros
pect.
1t was suggested that he call the rock
by his own name. But he thought it
more modest and suitable to designate it
after an institution dear to citizens of
Maryland Johns College.
Among the lovers of the ancient
school the doctor is pre-emnent. and,
speaking for his contemporaries of like
affection, he says
We hope to see the day when our noble
State will amply endow st. Johns College,
and make for it Il future corresponding to
its brilliant past and its exquisite surround
ings in lovely old Annapolis,
Our nation itself owes Il debt to this ven
cradle institution. From the genius of his
son, Francis Scott Key, flashed forth that
ode to the Star Spangled Banner which
will wave forever as a symbol of universal
liberty.
