Edward Libbey and Theodore
Williams Noyes.
Benjamin Ogle Tayloe, the first
president, was the son of John
Tayloe, one of Washington's pio-
neers and wealthiest residents, who
built the Octagon, the temporary
White House used by President
Madison after the British burned
the public buildings here in 1914
He also built the hotel which occu-
pied the site of the New Willard
and used his farm, called PetWorth
now one of the largest df not the
largesD subdivisions in the District
of Columbia, as a stock farm for
his race horses. Benjamin Ogle
Tayloe in 1928 built the residence
now known as 81 Madison place
afterWard the home of Senator Don
Cameron, Vice President Hobart
and Mark Hanna, and it was
through him that the Willard
brothers, successful hotel managers
and financiers, first came to Wash
ington.
Banker Chosen.
DR.. James B. Blake, who succeed
ed Mr.. Tayloe as president, was a
foremost citizen and at one time
commissioner of public buildings
and an early president of the Met
ropolitan National Bank.
He was followed by Maj. S. Jenkin
Thomas, a notary public and local
justice. The latters successor for
a brief term was George A. Bohrer
John Marbury soon afterward TAX
ing his place, to be followed by S.
Thomas Brown, Allison Naylor, jr.
undoubtedly remembered by all the
old residents as the popular colonel
of the Washington Light Infantry
Corps, then took Mr.. Browns place,
to be succeeded by John Edward
Libbey, a Georgetown merchant.
The incumbent, Theodore w.
Noyes, editor of The Evening Star,
in turn succeeded Mr.. Libbey. He

have to study to earn a B. A."
Athletics are now on an intra-
mural basis, with emphasis on
sports that may be followed in after
life, such as sailboating. tennis,
squash. boxing, wrestling and fenc-
ing. There is no baseball at the
school, and the only football is Of
the touch" variety. There is a
well-equipped gymnasium, and most
of the colleges 81 acres are devoted
to playing fields.
In June, 1941, will be graduated
the last survivors of the "old pro-
gram" and the first products of the
new one. Thereafter, the curricu-
lum will be occupied exclusively by
the great books system. President
Barr has described the sort of grad
uate it is hoped to create:
For four years he will have con-
sorted with great minds. From
constant association with the first
rate, he will have acquired dis
taste for the second-rate. He will
get genuine pleasure from using
his mind on difficult problems He
will not be specialist in anything,
but he will know how to apply his
mind to whatever he wishes to mas
ter, whether it be law, medicine,
engineering, journalism or business.
He is not likely to make a million,
but will probably earn a good live
lihood, because he knows how to
use his head, and was learning to
work during the years which most
college boys spent In learning to
loaf and dodge"

this visit has included all the Presi-
dents from johnson to Hoover, and
whenever the President was holding
New Year Day reception.
It's patriotism has not stopped
here, but years ago it originated
and carried forward the movement
that ultimately put the flag on the
public schools throughout the city.
1t also successfully agitated the
movement for tolling the bell on
all steam craft when passing Mount
Vernon, which, unfortunately, now
seems to be falling into disuse.
Until 1886 this body was without
permanent quarters, and during this
year the late w. w. Corcoran decided
to the association, forever rent
free" room in the Corcoran Build
ing, which formerly occupied the
site of the Washington Hotel. In
1911 it gave up these quarters for
the Union Engine House, where, as
stated, the meetings are still held.

Celebration OF Independence Day,
Washington's Birthday and New

custom with the association right
from the beginning. In the columns
Of The Star of February %, 1866,
only two months from its organiza-
