and recounted how one day a tramp
had asked the brother in charge of the
college kitchens for food and in recon-
pense for the same had chiseled out
the face of a monk on a rought abut-
ment for the chapel wall.
At all the college hooks and lettering
places similar ceremonies were observed,
the pilgrimage lasting nearly three
hours.
In the natural theater on the college
grounds. known as Grassy Green Theater,
where there Is standing room only, the
class day exercises Of 1914 were held.
Following the chorus by alumni "Sons
of Georgetown" William Fl. Prendergast

ed that there are now 1890 students
registered in the college, and ito meet
this increasing demand for admission we
are indebted to Mrs. E. Francis Riggs
and to DIR. George NJ. Kober. dean of
the medical SCHOOL, through whose eff
