JACOB EARL CUMMINGS Chemistry "Earl" Baltimore, Maryland Baltimore Polytechnic Institute Y. M. C. A.; Theological Association. / "7a me more dear, congenial to my heart, One native charm, than all the gloss of art." T did not have an opportunity to see Earl very much during his college days, HIS smiling classmate joined our ranks in our Junior year of college. We. except in the classroom. However, some one benefited by our loss of his intimate acquaintanceship; for every afternoon he would step into his "Lizzy" and go spinning toward home, where a charming wife awaited his arrival. Occa- sionally, Cummings was seen on our tennis courts, where his opponent in the game usually came out with the low score. From all reports, he is as good a preacher and pastor as he is a tennis player. In the field of science he is one of the pioneers in Carroll County, for he holds the record of having found, on one of his explorations, the only living "Volvox" ever discovered in Carroll County. He seems to delight in this line of research, for he returns every once in a while from an exploration and presents to the astonished head of the science department some new and rare specimen of plant and animal life. "Carryon," fellow classmate. [50]
