So we say that Georgetown
was quite deliberate in this ges-
ture to give credit where Quarter
of a century ago Georgetown's
name was being blazoned in
sports by men now prominent in
MANY professions who were last
night invited back to be openly
acclaimed.
It so happens that the careers
of some of the gentlemen men,

athlete, but as an interested

Vincent McDonough, the thought
struck US that perhaps George
town was going to be very
generous indeed and give "G's"
to some of we newspaper boys
who never enrolled at George
town but who have put hi
enough "hoursY at the Hilltop
in one way or another to have
graduated six times and then
taken a few post graduate
courses TO boot.
OF course that was only a
passing thought, and on mature
consideration it occurred to us
how foolish that would be, be-.
cause if they started doing that
sort of thing they'd have to
include Frank Saffell, the tele-
graph operator, who has flashed
details of collegiate affairs from
the Hilltop longer than even
Harry Ward can remember, and,
we ask you, what would Frank
Saffell do with a diploma, sports
or otherwise.
And If SaffelI got . &C." then
all barriers would be broken.
They'd have to give one to the
ianitor, the ground keeper, tho

to Frank Hight himself for that
matter, who is right now won
