Georgetown University announces its first Founders' day on March 25 in accordance wft‘l’\"flm issued by Dr. W. Coleman president of the university. Although established 141 years 3 this is the first time that such a cele- bration has been planned at George- town. President Nevils is arranging special academic ceremonies in connec- tion with the observance which will be made an annual affair in the future. It is expected that a large number of out-of-town alumni will attend. The foundation of Georgetown College was projected as early as 1785 when Rev. John Carroll, afterward the first Archbishop of Baltimore, formed the plan and proposed it to his associates. In 1788 the erection of the first building was_started. Yet 1789 is commonly considered the year of the foundation of the college, as the deed of the original piece of ground was dated in that year. Prominent Alumni to Attend. Many alumni are already advising that they will come to Washington for the March 25 event and the university also has invited a number of special guests. One of these will be Arturo Toscanini, director of the New York Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra, who called Ilru:hzuldent Nevils at the col- la? early week. ielding to the entreaties of freshmen excluded from membership in the W. N. Cogan Dental Society and the newly formed Students’ Council of the Dental School, the officers of those two bodies last Monday voted to admit members of the first year class. This is an extcn- sion of formal recognition of the fresh- men and rermmlon to participate in all the school activities. Willlam Vogel of the senior class was made secretary of the Students’ Council. ‘W. N. Lucas, president of the Cogan Dental Society, wWho was instrumental in organizing the Students’ Council, presided at the meeting of the former and in an address declared that the dean of the school. Dr. William N. Cogan, was known as the “Father of the Naval Dental Corps.” Dr. Cogan, & re- tired naval dental surgeon, resigned a former deanship at Georgetown in 1913 to organize the dental corps in the Navy and during the World War brought it up_to a high state of efllclenc{l. Since the organization of the Cogan society, the students of the Dental School have been taking more active interest in Georgetown affairs and de- cided at the meeting to go in for base ball, tennis and boxing. J. Greeves was appointed chairman of athletic activi- ties for the Dental School and will pro- month, H. Beech of the senior class is chair- man, the other members being Albert E. Kling, R. Hall, R. Fear, George Rover and Mr. Coyle. Emile J. Cesare of the senior class read a paper on the advantages of | X-ray work in dentistry and the com- mittee named as usual to discuss it is composed of Mr. Beech, John P. Halaby, Mr. Kling, Mr. Celano and Mr. Hanley. With the increased activities of the student bodies of both the Dental and Medical Schools, the Georgetown au- thorities have set aside & room for their exclusive use in the new bullding on Reservoir road. The students have de- cided to make it a smoking room and appointed a committee to arrange for financing equipment for the room. Mr. Fear of the senior class heads it, with Fred J. Heimbuch of the junior class; Joseph L. Konzelman, sophmore, and Herbert A. Masterson, freshman class. James A. Bougle, J. Casey, James J. Shanahan and Martin J. Kelly serve for their respective classes as a com- mittee to select the furnishings. Honor Conferred on Dr. Scott. With the return to Washington of Dr. James Brown Scott, who. attended the recent International Educational Congress in Havana, it was learned that the University of Havana had con- ferred upon him the honorary degree of doctor of laws. Dr. Scott has received more honorary degrees, rhaps, than any other man in the United States. A great many of them are from Eyro- pean and South American universities, conferred in ition of his import- :‘n'l, :’o;klml;h. fleld of international nd in the promotion of interna- tional relations. g Dr. Scott was chairman of the of- ficlal American delegation to the Havana congress and also represented Georgetown University, where he has taught international law since the founding of the Foreign Service School.
