you would think that something had
happened probably. And If these same
gentlemen should return with an encore,
the refrain of which goes "Yip-I-Addy-I-

recognized Georgetown cheer.
DR.. S. s. Adams of the medical fac

Other Speeches Made.
DIR. William Cogan Of the dental de-
partment, which was characterized as
the baby Of the university" next made
a little talk, and no one had to take
gas, either. William Byrne, an under
graduate law student. president of his
class. made a neat little speech asking
that the 'hoya" be respected.
1t seems that this yell is reserved
or less sacred to undergraduate tradi-
tons. Consequently they played joke

''hoya," but emitted that noisy ''locomo

NJ Sherwood Ferris. president Of the

speech, as obtained by frequent prac.

songs was furnished by Wilmarth's Or
