II K A ; Spotswood : Xorthern Lights ; Philoniathtan : Cierman Chil). Such a curiosity as we have before you now, ladies and gentlemen, deserves a bolder touch than ours to portray. Earl has suc- cessfully ccm]jleied various ])roiects, among them a car at quarter. Literarx Society president and medal winner. Editor of the Lit, tv.elve desperate flirta- tions, and has lived through millions of unsuccessful attempts to be funny. A pun, a poem, a punk producticn reels from his surcharged brain in dazzling confusion. E. B. Thomas is rather proud of the va he signs his name, and could we believe him, he is tlic worst treated person in College, because: some pe;- ple won ' t agree with him, some professors refuse to be liluffed, some ideas are determined not to materialize, and some nf his smiles are not returned. Tn spite of all this, liarl P.aldwin is a very likabli- fellow and a rattling good College man. [ 27 1

C CHARLES HARMOX SCHEPMOES, Charlottesville. N ' irginia. Candidate i Ok A. 1!. De(;ui£F.. riioenix Talk about hcinji- fo:;led. Well, if the average citizen should see Schepmoes on the streets of Williamsburg, he would say : Here he is. Doctor, guess you better take him back and Lick him up; he lojks dmger- ous. But men who are on the editorial statT of the Magazine and ex-presidents of the Phoenix, don ' t stay at thut sort af a place. Xote the present tense, please. After going through these ordeals, it is difficult to predict the exact result. Charles tried for the baseball team one year, but his success there is rather questionable. We are not quite sure about his relation with the faculty, but somehow or other he -seems to be making the required number of credits. He has adopted the plan of handing such rotten stuff to the various editors under whom he works, that thev fear to ask him for any nvire. In spite of all this, his desires seem to be for the welfare of the College, and his spirit has been contributed in put- ting through quite a few things that have been worth while. [ 26]

i i-L ' ROBERT CLARENCE WARBURTON, Willianisliurq-, irLjinia. Candidate for A. B. Decree. P ' hilomatliean. Bob ' arl)urton lias the strangest ways aliout diiTerent things. Who el-e in Ci I ' e e wuuld argue for thirty niirutes in a Literary Society about whether the sjieaker of three weeks ago had un a red tie or not? Who, save he, would turn in his editorials to the magazine on time? What other mortal would delve around in the library for hours to try to find out whether clod and cloud are etymologically connected? He is ex-president of the Philoniathean, an Intercollegiate Deliater, a wouId-l: e Aledal Winner, and several other things in a literary line ; Init. (jther than this, he devutes his energies towards appeasing the voracious and well-nigh impossible demands of the faculty. He wears his hair long to give a poetical look to his dazzling countenance. The other necessary attribute of a poet, according to Dr. Hall, is not always showing. Shocked? Oh, well! t ' en we ' ll st ' ' P Ijy wishing luck, Boli A ' arburton. [ 28 ]
