“During this time my confreres and
myself have been In most intimate
daily association with you. We have
always found you cheerful, pleasant,
ever ready to render assistance, no
matter how arduous the task, or how
inopportune time frequently sac
rificing to duty precious moments of
your short recreation nours”
Dr. Murphy told them they were
about to leave the institution and to
depend upon their own resources,
and,in closing said:
“When you leave the threshhold of
your Alma Mater you step into the
broad road of life.there to mingle with
the maelstrom of humanity who are
fighting and straining for existence.
Here is best exemplified the survival
of the fittest. You meet Imre the
strong and the weak, the efficient and
the inefficient, the good and the had,
the responsible and the irresponsible.
They will try to trample you down,
to push you aside.
“Some will endeavor to lead you to
the bypaths of pleasure.others to turn
you into lanes so attractive that you
may be tempted to forget the high
ideals ot your profession, but knowing
the training you have received, and
having a knowledge of your high
ideals of duty and Integrity, I can see
you pressing ever onward over this
indeterminable highway, with firm,
steady steps, and your eyes focused
upon the goal of your professional
success, which is the crown of your
ambition.
"Yours is the most noble profession
open to womanhood calling, as it
does, for those God-given feminine at
tributes of LOVE, GENTLENESS
FORBEARANCE, KNOWLEDGE and
SYMPATHY to those in affliction.
When you look back over this thorny
path that you have traveled and can
feel that you have made the end more
easy for some poor mortals, and have
assisted poor, tortured souls on the
long journey to the great hereafter,
from which there is no return, and
that you have been the instrument in
alleviating suffering not only physi
cal. but in those cases of mental and
nervous disorders, where the poor tor
tured mortals are surrouuded by the
black cyoud of melancholy and despair
“With your womanly instinct and
professional skill you are enabled to
make a rift in this dark cloud,through
which you can direct the gaze of the
afflicted one to the dawn of a new day
of hope which will fill them with joy
and happiness. Then, indeed, you
have acquired sueeess.not in accummu
lation of worldly goods , but in a
knowledge of duty well ptrforued and
deeds acomplished.
Dr. Murphy, in closing, said the di
ploma the graduate nurses were re
ceiving bore the stamp of approval of
their instructors, and of their Alma
Mater, and a symbol that would en
able them to go out into the world
and practice their profession. An
Alma Mater is known by its graduates
What honor conies to the graduates,
the Alma Mater will shine with reflect
ed glory. He also wished them to re
member opprobrium would come to
the Alma Mater by their misdeeds
Mr. ItnndiiHS \ddres.
Air. Randall <*pokc at length, his
theme being “The Call to Arms" or
"The Highest Ideals of nu Ennobling
Calling.” He said in part:
“In this time of college graduations
and commencements it is particularly
fortunate that the hospitals of this
and other lands should should be fit
ting their life's work candidates for
the profession f trained nurses. Never
before in its history as recorded by
human hands and minds has the world
been so utterly sick and out of joint,
and in need if wise and trained minis
tration. The civilization of continuous
centuries which have advanced the
human race from the anthropoid ape
to an exalted being, wise and powerful
in his generation and boastful of his
attainments, is grovelling in the dust
of human (or inhuman) passion.
“The boasted advances of science.of
medicine, of human knowledge to save
and to preserve the race, lie today
prone and powerless before savagery
and greed of killing. Hand in hand
with the death-dealing gun goes the
ambulance with its corps of efficient
and sympathetic workers—a paradox,
it is true, but none the less natural
concomitants in an age which has cast
aside the ancient dogma of the surviv
al of the fittest for the dream of the
new charity the survival of the weak;
discarding the pomp of imperial Cae
sar for Christian simplicity and help
fulness.
“To you and to each of you is com
mitted an opportunity to share in a
realization of the New Freedom.
Upon the shoulders of the new armies
of laborers falls the stress of the bur- J
den andlknow vou will assume it with
god courage and equipped for the fray
To each of you will be assigned a de
finite duty, a part in the world'B work.
I You will not be content with a mere
opportunity to serve, but will contrib
ute your need cf cffnit, your hands,
brain aud heart, which have been
trained to loving, skillful service. In
spiration comes to you in the lives and
work of great men and women have
left their mark in the world’s prog
ress and whose names adern your own
Hall of Fame. In the memory of
many stand out the fame of Florence
Nightingale, whose life is an inspi
ration.
“To your profession comes the great
est opportunity. To the physician, to
the lawyer, to the clergy great oppor
tunities of course are presented, but
their road to success is still alongn ar
row Hues, hemmed in by precedent
and convention that awakens no new
enthusiasm. We have to create out'
enthusiasm that we may smile at our
handiwork. The physician confront
ed with that earliest of human ills, the
toothache, must destroy some of God’s
handiwork In the perfect human form
to obtain relief--pull the tooth; the
lawyer again confronted with that
earliest ofhuman sorrowe—incompat
ability of temperament in man anil his
chosen mate, must destroy a sacred
and legal bond in the divorce courts;
the pastor of a flock of sinners must
be forever preaching against the con
tinued wickedness that the human
race have been heir to since Adam
delved and Eve span, and yet Bees his
word and the evil of fallen
angels come into the lives and hearts
of men.
“To you,young ladies,comes a newer
and ever widening opportunity and
the anticipation of what’s to come
must be good and pleasing food for re
flection. No longer Is the office of
trained nurse limited to the bed side
of sicknes. While ennobling in its
of sickness. While ennobling in its
a branch of your professional work in
this twentieth century.
“And now a last word in wishing vou
a God-speed on your journey You
are more fortunate than those grad
uates of two days ago. at St. John’s.
Between you und them is all the dif
ference that exists between the col
lege and the university graduate.
What they have learned is the mere
preparation for the sterner realities
and varied professions of life. Yours
is the qualification for a profession

useful or valuable one to yourself and
to the world around you. Remember
that the last end and greatest ambi
tion of your profession is not to lay up
worldly gain at the expense of higher

greatest teacher, even at the loss of
things less worth while, in order that
when opportunity presents itself, you
may be free and able to accept it un

ideals of an ennobling calling.”
After the benediction by the Rev. Fa
ther Baron, of St. Mary’s Church, a
reception and dunce followed the ex
ercises of graduation, and refresh
ments were served. The success of
the. entire program is latgely due to
the efforts of the efficient superintend
ent, Miss Bell, and Mrs. McMakin, ex
ecutive for the month, of the Board of
Managers.

TRIP ACROSS THE CONTINENT.
Mr. and Mrs Armstrong Visit the
Exposition---Family Reunion.
Mr. Joseph M. Armstrong, wife and
son have returned from a trip acr* ss
the continent where they went to join
their daughter Mrs. Robt. C. Gildart,
wife of Lieut. Robt. Gildart, who re
cently returned from the Philippine
Islands, but now of Fort Baker, San
Francisco, Cal. They also visited
their daughter, Mrs. J. R. Cygon.wife
of Lieut. J. R. Cygon, Fort Scott.
Presidio, Cal.
The most enjoyable feature of the
trip was a family reunion at the home
of Lieut. Gildart, of which Lieut, and
Mrs. Gildart were host and hostess.
Mrs. Gildart before her marriage was
Miss Beatrice Armstrong, of this city
and one of the teachers of the Annap
olis Public School. Mrs. Cygon was
Miss Grace Armstrong, of this city.
Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong also visited
the expositions at San Francisco and

"liCH” PROFESSOR
COMES TO ACADEMY
Prof. H. A. Everett Resigns“ Tech”
to Come Here.
FOR MARINE ENGINEERING DEPT.
For Four Years He Has Been Official
Yacht Measurer for All Major
Easten Clubs.
The President’s office of the Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology an
nounces the resignation of Assistant-
Profesor Harold A. Everett, of the De
partment of Naval Architecture and
Marine Engineering.
ProfessorEveret Ims been appointed
to the position of Professor of Marine
Engiuering in the post-graduate de
partment of the United States Naval
Academy. Professor Everett.born in
Manchester. N. H., is one of the grad
uates of M. 1. T., who, after some ex
perience in the outside world, return
ed to the Institute as a member of the
instructing force.
He was of the class of 1902aml after
taking uis degree visited the ship
yards in Europe,and the next year was
in the yard of the Fore River Com
pany, his special work being the in
stallation of the auxiliary machinery
in the torppedo-boat destroyers Law
rence and MacDonald.
He went next to the.NdwYork Ship
building Company, in the scientific
department, his work there being
computations and estimates of stabil
ity, strength, etc. He then returned
to Technology and has been since in
its service, first for two years as as
sistant, then for six years as instruc
tor in naval engineering, and since
1911. assistant professor.
In adit ion to his regular work. Pro
fessor Everett interested himself dur
ing summer seasons with occupations
:n line with this, spenning one season
with the Lighthouse Engineers in
Philadelphia, and a second in the yard
of William Denny & Bro., of Dumbar
ton, an unusual privilege. Sir Arthur
Denny stating that only one other
American had ever been permitted to
do this, and that was one Admiral
Bowles. A third summer was spent in
charge of one of the army engineer
ing parties engaged in surveying the
lower reaches of the Ohio river.
Other summers were occupied in the
experiments with the Tech navy, the
Froude and the Fulton, of which he
had charge under Prof. C. H. f*"a
body, with exceedingly interesting and
important results. For four years Mr.
Everett has been official yacht meas
urer for all the major eastern clubs,
and in the course of which work he
has developed a number of new meth
ods and new measuring devices. One
of these is a quarter-beam calipers,
a labor-saving device for boats of or
dinary dimensions, and for draft
measurements he worked out a hv
pothenuse method of catching a rod to
the keel and measuring its angle and
its distance from the hull. He sug
gested and used ordinary surveying
methods for determining lines of
boats on the ways,setting up his tran
sit on a base-line and taking angles
and distances. In one instance he de
tected an error of one-eighth of an
inch m the painted waterline of a boat
He also adapted the chronograph to
boat testing, an instrument that re
cords time, revolutions of the screw,
marks the completion ot a cycle of the
work and in the case of the Froude
shows the amount of thrust. The ob
servations with the Froude and the
Fulton have already been described
These were the little Technology boats
in the Charles river basin.boats which
were floating laboratories where fuel
consumption .power production and
transmision and losses of various
kinds were investigated, togehter with
effect of form of hull, plate of propel
lor. etc.
The Froude showed that steamships
in general are carrying their propel
lors in not the most efficient place,
while the Fulton furnished facts about
twing and dispeling the fancy of tow
boat constructors, that steel Is not ap
plicable to these boats.
Professor Everett’s published papers
include “Tests on the S. S. Harvard,”
“Effects of Waves on a Taffrail Log,’’
“The Stability of Lifeboats,” while an
other in press is the consideration of
sails, the experimental portion of
which was carried on at the M. 1. T.
Aerodvamical Laboratory, the first ex
periments ot the kind to have been
made anywhere.
The position to which Mr. Everett
comes has been established at the Na
val Academy for men who have been
at sea for three years or more since
graduation. It has had two previous
incumbents, but is now enlarged in its
scope and a naval architect appointed,
the previous men holding the position
having been mechanical engineers.
o
To Hear Appeals Against Assessment.
Mayor called a special
session of the City Council for Monday,
the primary purpose of which will be
to hear the appeals from tax assess
ments made for the fiscal year. It is
understood that about forty complaints
have been made, and the Council will
give a hearing to the parties interested
as to why the assessment was fixed,
should not stand.

LORD’S DAY ALLIANCE
STATE WIDE CAMPAIGN
Educational Movement for the
Better Observance of Sunday.
DR. KELLY AND DR. W. W. DAVIS.
Anne Arundel Authorities Asked to
Cooperate in Enforcement of Sun
day Laws.
The splendid co-operation given bv j
Dr. Howard A. Kelly has made possi
ble a Slate-wide Educational cam
paign for a better observance of the
Isold’s Day.
Not only has Dr. Kelly joyously fur
nished his automobile fir these trips
but has given twenty Sundays, speak
ing front six to eleven times each Sun
day. So far they have traveled over
2,000 miles in the automobile and
iiave spoken in twenty-one counties to
233 audiences, agregating at least 50.-
000 persons since the last Sumlav in
October last.
Already tentative plans are made to
cover one a litionul county They hav<
distributed 2,500 pieces of literature,
besides given the spoken message to
those thousands. The welcome has
been most gracious, and in all the
counties except Baltimore and Anne
Arundel they have had the co-opera
tion of the local authorities. The au
thorities responsible for the en
forcement of Sunday laws have criti
cized them, but in not a single in
stance have they disputtd a single
specific statement made.
These counties are “bossed” by men
and organizations tied up with Sun
day liquor-selling and gambling. The
dawn of a better enforcement of the
Sundav laws is at hand even in Balti
more and Anne Arundel counties as
the result of the •splendid work of
Judges Duncan and McLaue. As a re
sult ot our meeting in Reistertown, a
Citizens’ League has been formed to
work for a clean Sunday in a clean
town The roll of membership is al
ready over 125
Like committees in other communi
ties are the result of these automo
bile trips. In Baltimore city the splen
did co-optration of the Police and Li
quor License boards has given an al
most ideal city so far as the Sunday
saloon is concerned. The total re
ceipts of the Sheriff’s office from Sun
day liquor fines in the first four
months of 1912 were $2,255, while for
the first four months 0f1914 they were
$29. Like faithfulnes on the part of
the liquor license granting and law
enforcing authorities of Baltimore
county would give a like result.
In Baltimore the problem is how to
handle the lour hundred open Sunday
store proposition.

DEATH OF MRS. M. M. SMITH
AGED CITIZEN PASSES AWAY.
Death Due to Heart Trouble and Other
Compiicationss.
Mrs. Martin M. Smith aged 76
years, died shortly before noon today
at her residence on Main street.
Death was due to heart trouble and a
complication of diseases.
Up to a few w 7 eeks ago the deceased
was in apparently good health and
pursued her usual duties. She was
a most earnest, active woman in this
community, where she was highly
esteemed.
For years she had worked hand-in
hand with her husband and life part
ner, and to their combined efforts is
due the success of a well-established
and ably conducted bakery and con
fectionery business.
Mrs. Smith was a staunch member
of St. Martin’B Lutheran Church, of
which she has always been an active
worker. She was generous to a fault,
and contributed liberally to all local
charities.
The Guild of Mercy always found in
her a warm friend, and her donations
to the poor and unfortunate were al
ways cheerfully given.
Besides her husband sh" is survived
by a stepson, Mr. Martin H. Smith,
of New York, and a daughter. Mrs.
Augusta Watterscheidt.
In the past few years she has
lost by death three sons, one, Dr. Ru
dolph Smith, who died less than a vear
ago.
The funeral will take place Monday
afternoon at 3.30 o’clock from St.
Martin's German Lutheran Church,
the Rev. Klemme, officiating, in the
absence of the pastor, the Rev. Carl
Haas, who is on hia vacation in the
West. Interment will be in the fam
ily lot in St. Anne’s cemetery.

MIDDY WITNESS AFFIRMS CLAIM
THAT EXAM. PAPERS WERE OUT
E. H. Jones. Roommate of T. W. Harrison, One of Defendants. Says He
Saw Copies of Questions On the Tables and Understood They
Were Sent to Moss Through the “Yard" Mail
With Other Papers.
MOSS FREQUENTLY GOT INFORMATION THROUGH THAT CHANNEL.
Second Classman Impugns Honor of Students by Testifying That at
Least Half of the Corps Would Take Advantage of Opportunity
to Use What They Knew to be the Actual Examination
Questions—lnquiry Delays Summer Cruise Further.
Of the thirty or move midshipmen
who have testified before the naval
court of inquiry in connection with the
“cribbing'st :'ndal and other irreguiari
ties in the examinations annum the
midshipmen at the Naval \~t<lemy
the first one- to say that he ;t a
copy of the alleged original examina
tion paper, other than the seven orig
inal defendants to the inq viry, was F.
H. Jones, member of the former third
class.to which three of the defendants
belong.
Jones, who is a roommate of T. W.
Harrison. Jr., otic of thq defendants,
was tiie first witness before the court
this morning, and he testified to hav
ing seen the paper containing exnnii- t
nation questions on ti e table in his ;
room, lie said the paper was spread 1
about with a dozen or more similar!
papers, but that he did net know tin j
questions were those for examination '
in modern languages, as it bore no le
gend or other identification marks.
He said that the paper was one of a
number of others that had been sent
through the •‘yard” mail to Midship
man Moss, of his class. Moss, he vi d
frequently received such papers and
other information through the mail
throughout the academic year.
He said he had no knowledge of the
sender of the papers, and that Harri
son had never dtscused with hiru the
purport of the paper he had,except to
say that it was good “dope." He va
asked whether Harrison made any at
tempt to conceal anythingfroin him as
to the nature of the papers, and he re
plied in the negative, saying that all
of the papers were spread out in the
open on the table. Whiess said that
other information .Moss had received
from time to time included problems
in mathematics, that had all been
worked out., and lie gave it as his be
lief that Moss had some good friend
among the instructors.
Jones aid he knew Moss, Harrison
and Duncan well, and said that the
class us a whole held them In the high
est regard as to their honesty and in
tegrity. L\ A. Mitchell was the next
witness, but iie knew nothing con
cerning the alleged advance exuinina
lioon quest ioiit;. Replying to a ques
tion Mitchell said he had heard that
examination questions could he bought
in the past, but not since he has been
at the Academy. He could not give
any specific instance of these rumors.
- A further indication of the thor
oughness of the methods which the
court is employing to uncover the al
leged irregularities, developed this
morning by an additional question put
to each of the witnesses who was
heard. This question has •• hearing as
to the possibility of some one reaping |
a pecuniary benefit in giving out ad
vance information. In other words,
the usual question as to whether a
witness ever saw or heard of an ad
vance copy of the examination ques
tions being in circulation, is followed
by the inerrogation of whether wit
ness had ever heard of teports that he
would be permitted to see a copy of
the questions for a stipulated price.
But in eve-y case todaythe reply to
these questions were of the negative
Midshipman (’. DeV. Head lee was
the last of the second class midship
men heard by the court this morning,
and his answers were along the same
line as the evidence of Uiose who pre
ceded him on the standi
Four members of the former fourth
’ class were examined before the noon
recess was taken. It is generally un
derstood that the move of the prosecu
tion in this regard is to show the con
nection that Ralph Nelson, a member
, °f the class that was graduated two
w eeks age.and who is one of the orig
, inal seven defendants, had in the dis
„ semination of the alleged examina
tion questions. It is claimed that Nel
son had in his possesion of an exact
copy of the questions, and that be im
• parted the information to a number of
. the former ‘plebes.”
The witnesses examined on this
score were Arthur. S. Adams, Robert
Pool, R. S. Whitten and Harold Biese
raeier. Pool said he bad no “dope”
whatever on the examinations, and
, Whiten had only heard reports of its
I circulation. Adams, in glancing over
an examination paper shown him by
the Judge Advocate, identified several
of the sentences which he said he
. knew of prior to the examination,
i He said be had been informed of them
verbally, and that it was a matter of
common knowledge among his class
Harold Biesesmeier, who, it ap
pears, is one of the leading scholars in
his class in Spanish, told the court
that he translated a number of sen
tences and other matters,which sever-
Thh Evening Capital—Established
al of uis classmates brought to him as
‘‘dope.” Ho gave the m.me of one
midshipman .1. P Anderson, who ask-
ed him to translate the sentence, and
later added that when In asked Vn
derson where ho got the information
pertaining to the ‘‘dope,” he declined
| to answer.
Of the several witnesses \\!n> testi
lied, all spoke in the highest term ot
the honesty and integrity, and the
high esteem in which ;he class holds
the three young men who are among
the original seven defendants to tin
inquiry. In addition to Moss, are

In response to a question of Mr

the opening of the afternoon session
yesterday, Judge Advocate Wails said
that he had twenty-five midshipmen

were heard during the afternoon s -ss

The number of these is not known

and the witnesses along different
lines will be called for those in dil

An odd mistake was made hy Mid

that a copy of tin* examination in
