And he is as r ' iuplicatcd as his name is. When he first came In ccillcge, he gave the faculty the impression ihat his brown-haired cranium contained some- thing substantial, and now every time he makes below two hundred per cent, on an examination, the Clan Deierhoi goes intu niuurnnig. He claims to be an athlete, but the only things he has accomplished in this line are President of the Tennis Club, President of the Athletic As- sociation, and Manager of the 1911 Baseball Champions. He is the Nestor of his Literary .Society ; by adroit wire pulling he became Final President of the glorious Phoenix. He is a mem- ber of the Spottswood Club, and he insinuated his v.ay into a place on both the Magazine and An- rual Staffs. He reads novels of the Romance period, and blushes with becoming blushiness when he gazes girlward. Bui for a ' that. Fatty is a man, and his sound, level head is one of the most reliable propositions of which we know.

€l)€ 1912 Colonial Ccfto 21 WILLIAM K.W ' AXAL ' CH DoTY, Riohniond. Kentucky. K A; K. OF V. F.; PHOENIX. A Kentuckian, by Gad, Siili ! Bourbon of the first distillation. Disposition, chameleon-like. Recommended as capricious, fastidious, eccentric, finicky, precise, romantic, poetic, and practical. Believes in good, clean profanity, loves to write and dance, worships James Lane Allen. He came here by way of Transylvania University and tile University of Virginia, at each of which in- stitutions he was Editor-in-Chief of the magazine, so quite naturally he is the founder and Editor- in-Chief of The Flat Hat. He is a poet and a prose writer of purest ray .serene, and uses tem- perament as an excuse for murder, free thinking and cutting lectures. He is a member of the Spottswood Club, the German Club, and the N. N. O. Kavvy is essentially a progressive, but his respect for the antiquities of Ye Ancient Capitol is equalled only by his affection for its fair resi- dei.ts. His chief characteristic is temperament, his pet theory is that a pruning knife is the best cure for a college faculty, and his main ambition ;s to become a multi-millionaire, to purchase the Kentucky State Library, and to live in ease and plenty upon his broad and blue grass acres.
