eminence in the profession. and each
attempting to add honor to the tradi-
tions of old Georgetown.

this years book will be the extensive
athletic section. A new tradition will
be introduced, namely, that of photo
graphing the team captains in dis
tinctive place and of using these
photographs as division pages be-
tween the different sports.
