Hampden-Sidney opened its doors as an Academy on the first day of january, 1776, and was incorporated as a College in May, 1783. In this period of one hun- dred and thirty-one years, a period which covers five wars, fourteen presidents have been chosen to guide her work. Of this number not one has labored for her with more of loyalty and energy than her thirteenth president, the subject of this sketch. And his labors, unremitting and abundant, were richly blessed and are permanent. Dr. Mcflwaine was born in Petersburg, Va., May 20th, 1834, the son of Archi- bald Graham and Martha CDunnJ Mcllwaine. The names, did we have no other record, show that he came from staunch Scotch-Irish stock. His home was one of culture and piety: his training, sincere and thorough, the sort that develops men. The social life in which he moved was of the exquisite type that Petersburg still poss- esses, and the time in which he grew to young manhood marked the golden age of what goes down in history as Old Virginia. Great events were marshaling for later bloody conffict, and great men, Virginia furnishing her quota, were in the lead. Following the training in his home schools Dr. Mcllwaine entered Hampden- Sidney College, a boy of fifteen, in -lanuary, 1850, graduating A. B. in the Class of 1853. This class sent out more than one man whose name and work deserves much more than this passing mention: Lindsay H. Blanton, the present efficient Chan- cellor of Central University, Kentucky, Charles VV. Crawley, giving nearly the whole of his useful life to instruction in private schools, Lewis Littlepage Holladay, profes- sor of' Physical Science in Hampden-Sidney from 1855 until his death in 1891, Matthew Lyle Lacy, a finished scholar, prominent to this day in educational work in Yvest Virginia-these, beside Dr. Mcllwaine himself, are among the number. Leaving Hampden-Sidney on his graduation, Dr. Mcflwaine pursued a special course at the University of Virginia 11853-'55J and in 1855 returned to Hampden- Sidney for his course in Union TheologicalSeminary,thenlocated here. Hampden- Sidney conferred on him the degree of A. M. in 1856, and the following year, 1857, he completed at the Seminary a course that was afterwards C 1857-'58l to be enriched by a year of study in the Free Church College, Edinburgh, Scotland. His class at Union Seminary graduated three other Hampden-Sidney men, all living, whose work abides. Ephraim Henry Harding, now preaching at Milton, N. C., and a writer of ease and grace, many years after graduation became pastor of the church fat Farmvillej in which Dr. Mcllwaine labored for several years. Thomas W. Hooper, who lives in Richmond, has lived to see service in important centers and to help thousands by messages through his preaching, his books and the weekly press. John Bunyan Shearer, Professor in Davidson College, is now spending, in authorship and teaching, the evening of a life that has been lived in founding and developing educational institu- tions. On the conclusion of his course at Union Seminary Dr. Mcllwaine married fMay 14, I857il Miss Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. Clement Carrington Read, of Farm- ville, and five children are living: Messers Archibald Graham and John Stevenson Mcllwaine, lawyers in Tyler, Texas, Miss Elizabeth Read, Mrs. Nathanael Fraser, and Mrs. VVm. VV. Dunn, of Richmond. 1+ I. As P.-xsrok 11858-18723. From 1858 to I86I Dr. Nlcllwaine was pastor of Amelia Church, Virginia, It was a fruitful and happy pastorate, sketches of whicl1 the readers of the Central PI't'.fl7'1'fz'l'l-llll have been enjoying within recent months. Wihen the Civil XVar began, the preacher, like so many others, volunteered, and he became lieutenant and chaplain of the 44th Virginia Volunteers, continuing in this capacity until, in I862, enfeebled health necessitated his release. This, however, meant for him only a technical, not an actual, discharge from service. He came back to Farmville only to take up and continue,until hostilities ceased, quite as needed work, as volunteer chaplain in the hospitals located there, and pastor, until 1370, of the Farmville Presbyterian Church. YVhen Hampden-Sidney made a call for his services in a special line of work, his people in Farmville revealed their attachment in a pe- tition in which was reneweduthe assurance of our unabated love and attachment: our increased confidence in your Christian zeal and untiring energy in the great work to which you have devoted your life, and in your special fitness and ability to effect still greater good in your present field of labor. WVhen the call came to him from the First Presbyterian Church of Lynchburg, resolutions, passed by unanimous and ris- ing vote, again assured him of our belief that he occupies a position of great useful- ness and that he has the cordial and very sincere confidence and affection of the whole community. His duty as he saw it lay in Lynchburg, where he labored for nearly two years fl87If2l, and drew to him, as at Farmville, the affection ofa united people. II. AS SECRETARY ll872eI883l. Dr. Mcllwaine left important work in Lynch- burg to enter on work for the whole Southern Church, becoming as he did Secretary of Home Missions and Coordinate Secretary and Treasurer of Foreign Missions, a work carried through the years from I872 until his call to Hampden-Sidney with unliagging energy and marked success. In 1882 the General Assembly of the South- ern Presbyterian Church resolved That this Assembly does hereby most cordially recognize the ability, efficiency and zeal with which Rev. Richard Mcllwaine, D. D. has discharged the duties of Co-ordinate Secretary and Treasurer of Foreign Missions for the past ten years, and that to his fidelity and patient labor are to be attributed, under God, a large measure ofthe success of this important department of church work. A year later, when the presidency of Hampden-Sidney had been accepted, the Assembly again gave evidence of its confidence when it was Resolved, That the overtures from the Presbyteries of Lexington and Paris, urging the General Assembly to use all proper means to retain Rev. Dr. Mcllwaine as Secretary of Home Missions, a position he has filled with singular ability and efliciency for many years, and for which he is better fitted, in our judgment, than any man in our church, and as the voice ofthe church expressed in her courts would probably be unanimous for his continuance in this most important work, the Committee is unanimous and hearty in endorsing the sentiments ofthe overturesg yet inasmuch as he has received and has accepted an invitation to become the President of I-Iampden-Sidney College and has requested the Assembly to release him from the duties of Home Mission Secretary, therefore it is recommended that this Assembly accede to that request. III. As PRESIDENT or HAMPDEN-SIDNEY H883-19043. To this position Dr. Mcllwaine was called by unanimous action of the Board. The Chairman ofthe Committee appointed to notify him of his election was one of the Board's most dis- tinguished members, the princely Moses Drury Hoge, of Richmond. The letter of 15 notification, at once a tribute to Dr. Mcllwaine and a model from one of the most graceful of letter-writers, must be given in full. Postmarked Richmond and dated April 14th, 1883, it reads: K My Dear Dr. Mcllwainez- ln these days when telegraphic news is flashed all over the country you heard of your election to the Presidency of Hampden-Sidney College long before it could be communicated to you by letter. But no telegraphic dispatch, and not even a letter, Could convey to you a full impression of the unanimity, the cordialitv and the enthu- siasm of our Board of Trustees in the discussion which preceded andthe action which resulted in your election. The important work in which you have so long been engaged cannot have been entirely congenial to you, though it has been one of' eminent usefulness. VVe trust that in the new sphere to which you are summoned your duty and your inclination will meet, and that you will be as happy in your work as we believe you will be useful. It would be to you a return to old and dear friends, to a place associated with some of the INOSI hallowed memories of your life, and to an undertaking connected with the highest interests of our church. '4The Trustees believe that you would be instrumental, under God, in building up the fortunes of the College, in filling it with students and in so conducting it as to make it a blessing to the country and the church. They are prepared to give you all the cooperation in their power, and they believe that all the old friends of the college when they hear of' your election will take heart and rally round you with the deter- mination to aid you in all the plans you may propose for the upbuilding ofthe college. It will be greatly gratifying to us to be assured that we may proceed to make all the necessary arrangements for your inauguration at the Commencement in the month of June. Vie remain, Yours, most respectflilly and sincerely, Moses D. Hoes, Chairman of the Committee. As President of Hampden-Sidney, Dr. Mcllwaine was to do his greatest and most lasting work. He brought to it unusual qualifications. He was a son of' Virginia and of that part of it in which the college was located. He was connected by kin- ship with a number of its leading families. He was an honor graduate and a loyal alumnus of Hampden-Sidney. He had held important pastorates at three points in the Southside. He had won a wide acquaintance through the South in his position as Secretary of Missions. ln all positions he held the confidence of all, and, entering upon his work in entire consecration, he could not but bring it wide success. Dr. Mcllwaine was inaugurated in the centennial year of the incorporation of the college, a fact touched upon in the inaugural address, which, practical, hopeful, was like the man. In this address the history ofthe college was dwelt upon and its present needs were fairly discussed. The fidelity then pledged to the interests of the college marked all later service. Entering upon his twofold work as President ofthe College and Professor of lN'Ioral Philosophy and Bible Studies, Dr. Mcllwaine brought efficiency 16 to both. His administration was one of sustained vigor. The number of students increased until, in 1301-2, it reached 155, the largest enrollment ever recorded for the college proper, that is. apart from the Academy or the Medical Department. The curriculum was broadened and strengthened. The endowment was enlarged. The teaching force was added to in the person of graduate tutors, the system being intro- duced in 1836 and continuing through the session of 1004-5. Prize scholarships were established with the session of 1888-0. In the Science Department another professor was added. The Memorial Hall, a beautiful and commodious structure providing Chapel, lecture-rooms, and halls for the two Literary Societies, was erected at a cost of 525.000, and substantial improvements were made in other parts of the plant. In addition Dr. Mcllwaine was carrying on his work as a teacher, performing here, no doubt, his largest service for the youth committed to his trainingg and further, in ad- dition, he supplied for some years the College Church, after the death of Dr. Charles White and until a regular pastor could be secured. The service of these years was made larger by the hospitality of a home in which the students received always a gra- cious and helpful welcome. Hundreds of his old students scattered through the South felt that one of their number spoke for all in the letter of Mr. Robert Henning lVebb CA. B. of IQOI and A. M. of IQO2. now a student of Harvardl, written on the retirement of Dr. Mcllwaine. It so well summarizes the inlluence of the man that it merits quotation all but in full: lVIy Dear Dr. IWcIlwaine:- Ever since I read in the papers the account ofyour resignation from the presidency of Hampden-Sidney I have been intending to send you a few lines expressing my sor- row at this change in the old and familiar regime. You have been connected with the college for so long and have been so intimately concerned with its interests and affairs that you seem to me a necessary and integral part of the whole place, and the dear old college, which I love so well, will never seem the same to me without you as its official head. I only hope your successor will be willing to devote to it such hard, persistent, and loving labor as that which it had the good fortune to receive at your hands, I feel sure that there is not one of your old boys who does not share my feel- ings in the matter. We all owe you a great deal, and we are all grateful for yourin- fluence upon our lives. By your ability as a teacher, by your counsels as a friend. by your admonitions as our spiritual adviser, by your interest in us collectively and in- dividually, as students and as men, in the classroom and out. by many other means, you endeared yourself to us and made for yourself a place in our lives which seldom falls to the lot of men to make in the lives of others. In short, you proved yourself a friend we shall not soon forget or cease to love and revere .... It is a great pleasure to me to feel that I shall carry with me, through all the successes and disappointments of life, your kindly interest and good wishes. In 1901 Dr. IVIcIlwaine, without seeking it in any way, was elected delegate from Prince Edward County to the Constitutional Convention of Virginia, it being under- stood that if he would consent to serve, the opposing party would put no candidate into the field. The Board of Trustees also recognized his eminent fitness for this public service and consented to his release for such time as the Convention might hold in session, which proved to be a year. The Convention was composed of the leading I7 men of Yirginia, the Honorable .lohn Goode, of varied and distinguished service, being President. Dr. Mcllwaine, in his work as Chairman of one of the most im- portant committees, that of Education, as well as by his readiness and resource in debate on the lloor of the Convention, was soon recognized as one of its foremost lig- ures. He vigorously opposed the Grandfather Clause among the qualifications for suffrage and nepotism in the conduct of the public schools. Unwise legislation was more than once prevented and wise measures more than once adopted by his strong influence and earnest work, his service for education throughout Virginia being especial- ly noteworthy. On the conclusion of his work in the Convention the people who had sent him as their delegate assembled in mass meeting and by unanimous vote ap- proved his attitude on the various questions brought before the body. Two years later, in IQO4., Dr. Mcllwaine retired from the Presidency of the College, holding the esteem and honor due to a man whose whole life had been spent in infiuential work. Touching his work and his position TlwCfnrm1 PfF.ff7.X'fffIiH7l, under date of July 27th, IQO4, was constrained to say: The bulletin which tells of the alumni of Hampden-Sidney who are now doing the highest and best educational work is a paper which surprises as well as gratilies the reader. College presidents and professors, seminary principals, masters of high schools, and teachers of all high grades, are in this list. Yet this bulletin gives onlya section of the men who in all professions and positions are among the highest in the land. Especially has it filled the ranks of the Christian ministry. The history of Hampden-Sidney makes a powerful appeal. A signal event in its history has just occurred-the retirement of the President, Dr. Richard Mcllwaine, after twenty-one years of faithful toil. No man is more honored in Southside Virginia than Dr. Mcllwaine. His career in the ministry, in the ofhce of Secretary of Foreign Missions, in the Constitutional Convention of Vir- ginia, and in the Presidency of the College, has been such as is rarely attained by any man. He retires the first citizen of the whole Southside of Virginia. Dr. Mcllwaine was honored with the degree of D. D. from Stuart College fnow the Southwestern Presbyterian Universityl in 1373 and in IQOO Davidson College conferred on him the degree of LL. D. Since his retirement from Hampden-Sidney he has made his home in Richmond where with pen and tongue, as opportunity has offered, he has continued his work for civic righteousness and the regnancy of Chris- tian character. It is eminently fitting that this volume should be dedicated to Dr. Mcllwaine. Its editors, chosen representatives of the whole body of Hampden-Sidney students, honor themselves in doing honor to a man whose life as citizen, minister, educator, Christian, has at all times and in all weathers rung true.

Q. ln the Sophomore and Junior years this class was a large one. But more than halt' of the men, and some of the best, dropped out and left the Senior class of 1884 with only ten members. Of the ten one is dead. The remaining nine are still living and have done well. This was the first Senior class taught by Dr. Mcllwaine Here follows the list in order. XVILLIS H. Bocock.

The request to furnish some notes concerning the class of '35, subsequent to their graduation, is at hand. The time within which this sketch is to be prepared is not sufiicient to make accurate and full investigationg therefore, the sketch must be brief and depend entirely upon personal knowledge. It has always been a matter of regret that our class lacked the esprit de corps which would have kept up the class spirit, thereby rendering possible a more particu- lar knowledge ofthe life of each, since our separation in june, 1335. Our class had just entered its Junior year when Dr. Mcllwaine was welcomed to the Hill. Dr. Mcllwaine brought to his position an unbounded enthusiasm, large experience, wide acquaintance throughout the United States, and a well-furnished mind. The college had passed through the sad days of venerable Dr. Atkinson's sickness and death, and we turned from its gloom and depression with hopeful antici- pations for the future under Dr. Mcllwaine, and we were Il0t disappointed: a more faithful President never filled the honorable and responsible position: nor was there ever a President who took a deeper individual interest and pride in his boys. It was under his fostering care that we came to that memorable Commencement Day in June, 1335, when each turned his face toward the world, with its vast possibili- ties and duties. Of' the subsequent history of two of this class, Charles S. Lee, and T. S. Trawick, I know nothing. J. W. ADAMS, of Fredericksburg, Va., a most faithful student and attractive in person, returned to his native and historic city, where he entered upon a business career. His record has been most worthy and honorable, both in business and church life, holding in the latter the position of Elder. VVILLIAM S. FRIEND, of Charlotte County, Ya., was an honor graduate, and a man of the most affable disposition and a loyal friend He entered Union Semi- naryand graduated with distinction, and was ordained to the Ministry in the Presby- terian Church. hlust at the close of the summer's work after his middle year in the Seminary, Mr. Friend was taken with a serious attack of typhoid fever. He returned to the Seminary immediately upon his recovery from this sickness: though apparently well, his strength had not returned, and the result was a nerve weakness. which only ac- centuated a natural timidity and self-consciousness when standing before an audience. It was not surprising that preaching was followed by excessive nervous depression, which finally forced him to give up the ministry and enter upon a business life. He is living in Covington, Ya., where he is honored and successful. 21 R. lVl. HALL, of Texas, returned to his native state after graduation from Union Seminary, where he had gone after leaving college. His record as a Presbyterian minister in his native state is most honorable. He has proved himself a most suc- cessful preacher and useful pastor. This is evidenced by his present position as pas- tor of the First Presbyterian Church of Galveston, Texas. H. R. MCILNVAINE, after graduating at H.-S., pursued his studies at johns Hop- kins, where he made a most thorough preparation for his life as a teacher. His career as a Professor at Hampden-Sidney is so well known it needs no comment. For men- tal equipment, loveliness of character, and faithful service he is known and admired. His friends would say that there was but one thing needed to round out his character and overcome a natural tendency to the life ofa recluseahe ought to marry. S. P. PRESTON, of Lynchburg, Va., the brightest mind in the class, has had a tragic life. He chose medicine as his profession, studied abroad,and was equipped both bv nature and art for a brilliant and useful work, when disease marked him for its victim and set him aside to a life of inaction. His friends and classmates have always deplored this sad conclusion of what might have been a most successfuland useful life. IOHN RICE, a native of Pfice Edward, entered upon a business life, in the em- ploy -of the Southern Railway, as a local agent. The last heard from he was living in Mecklenburg County, Va., near Clarksville. C. H. WISSNER was from Fredericksburg, Va., and the first honor graduate of his class. He attracted the attention, by his aptitude for language, of the late Dr. Harper. Under his influence he went to Chicago. Finally entered the Presbyterian ministry and held a charge of considerable importance in the city of Chicago. But for some reason he left the ministry, and, after following a most checkered career, when last heard from had returned to his boyhood home in Fredericksburg. JOSEPH RENNIE graduated from Union Seminary in 1888, entered the Presby- terian ministry, and has held pastorates in North Carolina, Kentucky, and Virginia He is at present pastor ofthe First Presbyterian Church, Norfolk, Va. Such is a partial record of the class of 1885. Its value to the world only eternity can reveal. One thing is assured, that the memories of those precious days at Hampden Sidney still abide and its friendships are still cherished, reminding us of the immor- tality of memory and friendship. fEIa55 nf '86 'Ep Ib. Ciinrknr Q5rabam A large number of names was borne on the roll of this class from first to last. Some of them were with us for a year or even less, and then dropped out for a time. and completed their work with a later class. or withdrew permanently from college. The nineteen names given below are those who were more permanently identified with the class, though some, even of these, were irregulars. A few entered in the Fresh- man year, but the majority entered Sophomore in the fall of '33-the year that Dr. 22 Mcllwaine entered upon his presidency. He regarded this as the first class passed through its course under his administration, and I vividly recall his parting ad- dress to us on our graduation day, in which he referred frequently to this fact, and pledged to us his interest and friendship for the coming years. One extraordinary fact is that no member of '86 has died since our good-byes were spoken on the old campus twenty-one years ago. Of the class, nine entered the ministry, two of whom served in the foreign field, and one ofthe nine later gave up preaching and entered upon a business career. Five became lawyersg two studied medicine, one of whom, however, is both physician and minister, and so must figure in two lists. A large number have taught for a while, but three gave themselves per- manently to educational work, and a fourth was engaged in teaching when last I heard of him, which was some while ago. It is significant that only one of the class chose a business career, and that only after years spent in professional work. This class filled a prominent place in college life, and as a body was highly es- teemed by Faculty and students. In all its literary, religious, social, athletic, and forensic activities, the influence of '86 was strongly felt. The collegiate honors were carried off by these three men, whose grades were notably high: First Honor, George VV. Lewis. Second Honor, Frank W. Morton, Third Honor, Clement C. Owen. CLAss Ros'rER I.

First, for a year in Bainbridge, Ga. and then another year at Savannah. After this he settled in business in Roanoke, Va., where he remained until his death in 1894. Yfhile there he was connected with the Second Presbyterian Church, of which his classmate, R. C. Anderson, was pastor. YYhen On a visit to his old home he was taken with typhoid fever and after a battle Of six weeks with this disease died in the 23th year of his age. T1-1OMAs THWEATT JONES left his home in Dinwiddie County, Ya., for Texas in Dec.,'87,where hewas employed byan unclewho lived On a ranch. The follow- ing summer he passed the public school examinations and was elected first assistant, 25 in the Fdna school. After teaching three months he was taken ill with typhoid fever and died Dec. Iggth, '88, just a year from the time he left home. This is a short record, but his life was lived nobly and a pure spirit was he. ROBERT EDWARD MOORE taught school for two years after leaving college. First in Richmond in Miss 'lohnstone's school for young ladies. Next at Peachtree, Alabama. In the fall of '39 he entered Union Theo. Seminary, Virginia, and graduated there in 'oz. The summer of .QI he preached at South Plains Church in Albemarle County, Va. After graduation he found his health failing and took up teaching in the University of Florida, hoping that the mild climate there would build up his strength and he could then go to preaching.

He was a candidate for the ministry under the care of East Hanover Presbytery, but, according to their I'ecords, was never licensed to preach.

They have four children. 27 cn sara of 1Brinteton .lames Madison, in his first youth, gave promise of the Federalist. That is, he was one of the first students to leave Virginia for Princeton. The College of New ,lersey was centrally placed. and Madison even as an undergraduate was of a reflec- tive cast of mind. After taking his bachelor's degree,he spent a year doing work in Hebrew under Dr. VVitherspoon. Before 1750 Virginia had been content with family tutors from oversea, with a schooling in England, or with Vllilliam and Mary, their own college. The doctrine of States' Rights had its origin, very properly, in colonial insularities. The Revolution marked the end of an era, and Princeton had a great influence both in setting a turn to the old and in inaugurating the new. Hampden- Sidney and Vllashington and Lee are really epochal in Virginia history,and it should be interesting to take some account of the men who were contemporaries at college with the organizers of these outgrowths of Princeton. Samuel Stanhope Smith graduated at Princeton in 1769, the year that the non- importation agreement was signed at the Raleigh Tavern by Virginia planters and merchants. At that time college commencements were celebrated in September. the college year beginning some six weeks later. Assuming that President Smith was four years at Princeton, the class that had graduated just before his entrance is found to contain several distinguished names. Of the class ol 1765, the Rev. Theo- dore Dirck Romeyn was the founder lI7Q5l Of Union College at Schenectady,New York, of which john Blair Smith was the lirst president: Jonathan Edwards, a son ol President Edwards, was the second president of Union Collegeg Samuel Kirkland, a missionary among the Indians of W6St6l'l1 New York,was virtually the founder of Hamilton College, at Clinton lI8I2lL Jacob Rush, brother of Dr. Benjamin Rush, became Chief .lustice of Pennsylvania: and the historian of the Revolution, David Ramsey, who married a daughter of Dr. XVitherspoon, was shortly to be the brother- in-law of Dr. Smith. John Blair Smith asserted that the faculty of prescience was his. Samuel Stanhope Smith, as a Freshman, may have been inspired by the ca- reers of these baccalaurei, made plain to him in advance. 28 Among the Seniors in that first collegiate year of Dr. Smith were Wlaightstill Avery, a signer of the lylecklenburg Declaration of Independence and Attorney General of North Carolina, Hezekiah Balch, founder ol' Greenville College, Tennessee. C'17Q3lq Luther Martin. Attorney General of Maryland and one of the counsel for defense at the trial of Aaron Burrg Oliver Ellsworth, Chief' Justice of the United States: and Nathaniel Niles, Member of Congress from Vermont, poet, inventor and metaphysi- cian. At college Nathaniel Niles was especially skilled in the Socratic method of arguing. In consequence he and his brother Samuel were called Botheration Primus and Botheration Secundus. In 1766 Ephraim Brevard was a Sophomore at Nassau Hall. Dr. Brevard was the author of the Mecklenburg Declaration. He was one of seven sons and they were all active in the Revolution. Such unanimity cost their mother her house, burned by a plundering British ofhcer. 1 Fellow graduates of President Smith in 1769 were John Beatty, member of the Continental Congress and Secretary of State of New Jersey: John Henry. Governor of Maryland and United States Senator, James Linn, Secretary ol' State of' New jersey: and Thomas Melville, a member of the Boston Tea Party. Thirty years ago there was still preserved a small parcel of this British-American tea,which was gathered from Melville's shoes the morning after he returned from his expedition. Caleb VVallace was a Junior in 1769. He tame home to Virginia in 1774, barely in time to be enrolled among the first trustees of HampdeneSidney in 1775. sludge Wallace was, perhaps more than David Rice, the founder ol' Transylvania University in Kentucky. Of the class of 1770, also, was James Witherspoon, son of Dr. Wither- spoon,whowas killed as Germantown in 1777. Young Witherspoon at the time was an aide to General Nash of Prince Edward County and North Carolina. The year after his graduation Samuel Stanhope Smith spent at home, teaching in his father's school at Pequea, Pennsylvania. In 1770, twenty years old, 'he came back to Princeton to be tutor there for three years, during which time his brother, john Blair Smith, was a student at the college. These three years are conspicuous even in the annals of' Princeton. John Blair Smith was a Sophomore in 1771, when Gunning Bedford, Hugh Brackenridge, Philip Freneau,and Iames Madison were 29 3 graduated. Gunning Bedford was Governor of Delaware in 1796, and the first ap- pointee of President VVashington to the United States District Court of that State. Hugh Brackenridge became the editor of the United States Magazine of Philadelphia in 1776. The magazine criticised General Charles Lee, of dubious memory. On a certain day General Lee, with two of his aides, called at the office of Mr. Bracken- ridge, intending to assault the editor. Hearing a knock at the door, Brackenridge, from an upper window, inquired what was wanted. Come down, said Lee, and Iwill give you as good a horsewhipping as any rascal ever received. Excuse me, General, said Mr. Brackenridge. The judicious Mr. Brackenridge was appointed to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in 1789. The careers of Freman and Madison are typical-the one did everything and nothing, and the other went steadily forward through assiduity and disciplined acumen. The following year f1772l sent out as graduates of Princeton VVilliam Bradford, Attorney General of the United States: Aaron Burr, the son of President Burr, the grandson of President Edwards, who died in New York in 1836, in obscurity and neglectg Dr. Isaac Alexander, President in 1777, of the locally famous LiteraryHall fQueen's Museuml at Charlottetown, North Carolinag and John MacMillian, whose Log Cabin College, begun in 1790 in western Pennsylvania, was a few years later merged in jefferson College, now consolidated with VVashington College at YVashing- ton, Pennsylvania. VVashington College grew out of Vlfashington Academy, which was incorporated in 1787, and of which Thaddeus Dod, a classmate of John Blair Smith, was the first principal in 1789. Other members of the class of 1773 were VVilliam Graham, the first rector of Liberty Hall fW'ashington and Leelg General Henry Lee, father of General Robert E. Lee: John MacKnight, president in 1815 of Dickinson College, Pennsylvania, Morgan Lewis, Governor and Chief Justice of New Yorkg Aaron Ogden, Governor of New Jersey. John Blair Smith came to Hampden-Sidney in 1776, as tutor. He was twenty years old then, and did not hesitate to captain the company of students which was made up at Hampden-Sidney when Governor Henry called for volunteers. The first lieutenant of the company was David Witherspoon, also a tutor, who had 30 graduated at Princeton in 1774, along with Senator John C. Calhoun ofSouth Carolina: James Hall, the fighting Parson of North Carolina fto whom Dr. Foote has given a chapter in his North Carolina Sketchesjg Henry Brockholst Livingston, ofthe United States Supreme Courtg and Jonathan Mason, Senator from Massachusetts. About 1777, John Springer, of the class of 1775, was added to the tutorial staPt of Hampden-Sidney. Dr. Foote, who knew the value of an anecdote, has done Mr. Springer an injustice. John Springer died in 17o8, after twenty years of faithful missionary work in South Carolina and Georgia. The more distinguished of Tutor Springer's classmates at Princeton were Samuel Doak, tutor at Hampden-Sidney shortly after 1777, the founder and for many years the president of the pioneer Washington College of Tennessee: Andrew Kirkpatrick, Chief Justice of New Jer- sey, for years very influential Trustee of both the College and the Seminary at Prince- ton: Charles Lee, Attorney General of the United States, a brother of General Henry Leeg Isaac Ticknor, Governor and Chief Justice of Vermont: Thomas S. Craighead, the founder of Davidson Academy, Tennessee, which, in 1785, became the University of Nashville. Nathaniel Alexander. Governor of North Carolina, and General Vllilliam Richardson Davie, Governor of North Carolina and Envoy to France, grad- uated at Princeton in 1776, and were, therefore, Sophomores in I773, when John Blair Smith was admitted to the bachelorship of arts. Have we not, then, in these facts overwhelming evidence of the inHuence of Princeton in originating and fostering the higher forms of education in the formative state of our courtry? : Church and state are inseparable, being members one of another. Peter Johnston drew his deed of gift April 20, 1775. and the college was chartered in May, 1783. The Battle of Lexington was fought April Q, 17753 :Xpril 19, 1783, the VVar of the Revolution was declared at an end by General XYashington. ALFRED J. MORRISON. :l'Cf.

Major james Morton was a native of Prince Edward County,Ya., where he spent the greater part of his very long life. He died at the age ofoz, at High Hill in Cum- berland County, Va., the family seat of his son. Dr. lVilliam S. Morton. He was one ofa family of eighteen children-twelve sons and six daughters. At an early age he enlisted as a private in a military company raised by his father, Ca ptain john Morton, at the beginning ofthe Revolutionary XVar: in which company his father had eight of his twelve sons, four being too young for service. Although he entered the army as a private he came out as a Major, and ifany man ever deserved such promotion he did. He was a man of indomitable courage and energy, as his en- tire service of eight years in the army abundantly proved: enduring hardships and privations, hunger, nakedness. and cold, the very recital of which often made my young blood bound with enthusiasm, or sent the cold chills through my whole frame with a shudder. REVOLUNTIONARY INCIDENTS. Many acts of signal gallantry I could record: one only must serve as a specimen. In some desperate engagement in New jersey, as a lieutenant with a company of some sixty men, he was ordered to hold a bridge at every risk, to prevent a British regiment from crossing it, turning the Hank and getting in the rear of' our little army. He did keep it, under a fire so hot and murderous that all his men but eighteen were either killed or woundedg but he succeeded in burning one end of the bridge under this fire and thus saved our little army from destruction. In this connection thefollowing anecdote, as showing his gratitude for a kindness rendered, is worthy of record. After crossing the Delaware that bitter cold night, and silent march till morning over the frozen earth, and the sudden surprise and capture of 600 Hessians, the little army was necessarily very hungry and greatly fatiguedg for they had eaten nothing since the morning of' the preceding day, the unexpected order to march preventing them from eating their evening meal. About II or I2 o'clock, after the battle, and after the prisoners had been secured. Major Morton was detailed with a small band and sent off' in this state of hunger and exhaustion, as a foraging party to gather up what provisions they could for the suffering men and horses. The country around Trenton had been thoroughly ravaged by the British while they held it and their expedition was well-nigh fruitless. In order to get what they could the little band was divided and went in every direction for suppliesg and in going 'lc This sketch which appeart-.l in the Central Presbyterian, and was copied by consent of that excellent paper, was written by Dr. Drury Lacy a graduate of Hampden-Sidney and President of Davidson College. .32 from house to house. he alone entered the humble cottage of a poor womanfthe young mother of two small children, who had lost her husband in some former battle. He told her his errand. but when he found out she could not furnish anything for the army, he made known his own famishing condition, and begged her. at least, give him something to eat. She went to a small keg and raising a little piece ofpickled pork out of it, told him it was all the food she had in the world, but he was welcome to a slice of it, and that she would broil it for him. He could not wait for that but ate it rau' as it uvzr, without any bread, and I have often heard him say it was the sweetest morsel he ever swallowed. Long after the war was over and he was settled cn a small farm, he ascertained by letters of inquiry that she was still living with her children and was as poor as ever. From the lirst crop he ever made and sold, he sent her 2520, and repeated the gift for several successive years. She had saved his life by sharingwith him all she had, and hein return for her great kindness did what he could to render her condition comfortable. There was a man, and one ofthe noblest. About this time-during the campaign in New Jersey, he got the nickname of Solid Column, and kept it all his life: whether from his acts of martial prowess, or from his personal appearance lfor he was even then a stout. thickset man, which might have suggested itJ,or, more likely still,from his undaunted courage and his unflinching integrity of character and his stern and faithful performance of duty, I do not know, but everybody knew him as OLD So1.lD CoLUMN. VVhen the Marquis de La Fayette visited this country in ISZSY4, as the Nation's Guestf, and came to Richmond with his suite, all the surviving oflicers ofthe Virginia line that could do so, went to meet him there. Amidst the crowd, and after an absence of more than thirty years, it is said that the Marquis rarely failed to recognize anyofhcer who came up to shake hands and make his respects. When Major Morton approached him and whilst yet at some little distance, There, cried La Fayette, There comes Old Solid Column,as brave a man as ever lived, and sprangforward to meet him and kissed him on both cheeks several times, as he did to some others whom he knew on sight. INCIDENTS WHILE PRISONER or IVAR AT Ci-tARLEsToN. He was taken prisoner at some disastrous battle in South Carolina, and con- fined with a large number of other prisoners-I forget how many-in Charleston. I have taken dinner with him a hundred times in his late life, and whenever asked to take rice, his eyes would lill with tears and he would promptly decline it, saying, I got rice enough in Charleston. VVhilst there, two remarkable incidents occurred: the one relating to his won- derful FARSIGHTEDNESS, in which he surpassed any human being I ever knew or heard of. Many proofs of it, when he was a very old man, I have witnessed. For instance. I have known him to 1 1 J J distinguish gentlemen riding at the distance of a mile, I have known him to tell a dog chasing a hare a half mile off and see the hare and know the dog, when no one else could see the hare at all. But the particular case to which I allude occurred on this wise: Sitting one day at Charleston, in full view of the ocean, he saw a small fleet heading for the city, in the face of a stiff breeze. A British officer passing him, he tipped his cap, and told him a number of ships were making up to port. The oflicer looked eagerly in the direction to which he pointed, but could see nothing, and cursing him, passed on. Major Morton knew nothing of the expected arrival of reinforce- ments and supplies, but the ollicer did, hence his eagerness. In a half hour or so, this oflicer returned, and, as he was passing by, Major Morton said to him: Now Captain, you can see the ships. There are six of them. They have just tacked and the sun is shining on the topgallants. Now, naw, you can see them. The oflicer now gazed with intense interest, but seeing his captive was sure of what he told him went rapidly to the quarters and brought a hand telescope, accompanied by other ofhcers. After looking for a few moments, he exclaimed, that fellow is right- they are coming! they are coming! and soon a great crowd of oflicers and men were looking on with delight. He had with his naked eye seen and counted the number of ships more than a half hour before any one else could see them with a telescope! The other incident is the way he made his escape and regained his liberty. It was by plunging into the bay at night, and swimming to Fort Moultrie, a distance of eight miles! He seemed to make the very sharks afraid of him. At all events, he was not attacked by any one, but arrived safely, though greatly exhausted, and soon rejoined the army. OLD WIILLINGTON. . Often have I sat, when a little boy, and listened for hours togetherin breathless silence, while he and his comrades in arms would talk over and fight over the battles in which they had been engaged. Old Willington, the family seat of Major Morton was the scene of many an interesting story, and Tarleton Woodson and Willis Crute and ,jack Trent and Carter Page and other revolutionary officers and soldiers were welcome guests at his hospitable mansion. There they would meet and talk of Trenton, Princeton, Brandywine, Germantown, the Cowpens, Camden, Guilford Court House, Eutaw Springs, and especially Yorktown, and these places became as familiar to me as it'I had been present at every battle. OLD TIMES IN OLD VIRGINIA. I said VVillington was a place of hospitality, and it is true. Indeed, it was the most hospitable mansion I ever knew, ifI may except Montrose, in Powhatan County, the seat of my maternal ancestors. I may remark here, that I do not remember ever seeing either house without company when the families were at home, and before they were broken up and dispersed by death or marriage. Like many of the families of Old Virginia during those times, they were in danger of being eaten out of house and home by the crowds of visitors entertained. They carried on what they called jun- ketingu ata great rate, and stayed three or four days, or a week, feasting day by day 34 on the biggest sort of dinners. After the lapse of a few weeks, the visiting would be reversed, the visited families visiting, and if it could be done, the indulgencein feasting and so forth would be greater still. No families could exceed those of XVill- ington and Montrose, and I will add at Olney, five miles below Richmond, the seat of VVilliam Sterling Smith, Esq., in entertainments of this kind. Ah, how we boys loved to see the carriages rolling up, for we were sure ofa good time coming. By the way, it may not be amiss to state that, in old times, it was the almost universal custom in Virginia for people of respectable means to give names to their residences. If they did not call their lands by their own names, they at least gave them such names as would designate them, so that the family and the house were intimately associated in the minds of those who spoke of them. For instance, if a visit was to be made we did not say, we are going to dine at Mr. Berkeley's, but, we are going to Oakland, if to Count Dillon's, we would say to Sandy Ford, and every one talked that way. And besides the names already mentioned there were Long- wood, the seat of Judge Peter -Iohnstong and Templeton and Dover, the seats respec- tively of Colonel John Nash and Abner Nash, Esq., his brotherg and Springfield, that of Colonel Samuel Venable: and Haymarket, that of NVilliam L. Venable, Esq.: Morven, that of Peyton Randolph, Esq.: and many others. These estates varied in extent from six or seven hundred to two thousand acres of land, with a correspond- ing number of slaves. But all these things have passed away. But I am wandering, thinking of glorious old times-and must return so my subject. MAJOR MORTON AS A MAGISTRATE. Major Morton was a civil Magistrate, and when he was on the bench, and Captain Nat. Price was with him, the people knew they had to behave. The contrast between the good order and decorum of the court when he was presiding, and the disorder and confusion that existed when he was not there was very markedg every- body noticed it. But as a Magistrate, he often adjudicated small cases that were brought before him at home, and, like the old English gentry, he held his court in the ball-the biggest room in the house. One day, I was there, a neighbor brought in a negro man belonging to another neighbor, who had been impudent to him, and wanted the authority of a Magistrate to whip him, as the negro's master had refused to let him do it. During the investigation this insulted neighbor flew into a passion and uttered an oath or a curse. The old gentleman stopped short and said: Mr. Willard, I don't allow such language in my presence, and if you curse again, I will fine you for both offences. But in his zeal to convict the negro, Mr. VVillard got mad and cursed again, and the old Major lined him according to law, 351 for each offence. Who, and where, is the Magistrate who will do the like in these days? A TRUSTEE OF HAMPDEN-SIDNEY COLLEGE. Major Morton was a trustee of Hampden-Sidney College, and always took a deep interest in the welfare of the institution. No man was more punctual and regular in his attendance on the meetings of the Board, and though he never made a speech 35 on any subject, he never failed to give a judicious vote. Perhaps the name of no trustee is signed to more diplomas issued by the Senatus Academicus than his, and always in his bold, honest hand, reminding one of the signature of john Hancock to the Declaration of Independence. The students used to tell a great many anecdotes about him. In my early boy- hood, there were only I-wa carriages that came to the College Church, all the rest of the people came on horseback, or in carryalls, or on foot, and the congregations were always large. One of these carriages belonged to Colonel Samuel Venable, of Spring- field, and the other to Major Morton. The boys used to say that the old Major's carriage was so accustomed to come to church, that it knew when it was Sunday, and would roll violently against the carriage-house cloor until somebody opened it, and if the horses were not hitched up very soon, uiuay it would go affto church without horse or driver! A pretty tough yarn this. VVhen I was a boy and a growing lad, the custom was to have a precentor in all the churches. The precentor stood in or near the pulpit, and raised the tunes. He received the hymn-book from the hands of the minister, after he had read the hymn,-then gave out two lines at a time, and he and all the people sung them, then two more, which were sung, and so on until the hymn was finished. Major Morton was the PRECENTOR IN THE COLLEGE CHURCH for a great many years, and in Uparceling the lines as it was called, did it with such inllections and modulations of voice, as to make his reading the two lines almost a I'z'Kl'flIfl.7.'t' mlo. As far as I know, there never was but that one hymnboolc in the churchg but ten or twenty people sang to one who sings now, and they made church- music worth hearing-music incomparably better than we hear in our churches now- adays. OLD-FAsH1oNED SINGING AND MODERN PROGRESS. But then every family was a regular singing school, where they all practiced music twice a day at family prayers. Why, it would have been as strange to have omitted singing then as it would be to omit reading the Bible or praying now. I do not know a dozen families where they sing regularly at prayers, while ninety-nine hundredths of those that have family prayers never sing at all. And some of the very few that do sing, must have a piano badly played to help them out. And so, too, in the churches, whe1'e the whole congregration, White and black, old and young, used to sing with all the heart and voice, now they must have a big organ in the city churches with a PI1l.tII0l'gl1IlIi.Vf, and a choir of eight or ten singers who are frequently quarrelingg and in the village churches a small choir gathered around a wheezing little instrument to make music! Thus the people have got to praising God by proxy, and they call this progress! I am thankful to saythat this miserable proxyl1u.v1'r1m.r of choirs and instruments has made no progress in the country churches of North Carolina, but they sing a good deal as they did in old times, and now and then, with some favorite words and tune, make the house ring again. 36 BACK AGAIN TO IVIAjOR IVIORTON. I wish I could stick to my subject, and not be so often dying olfat a tangent. My subject is Major Morton, who acted as precentor a long, long time, till the in- firmities of age,and the introduction and general use of hymn books induced him to give up his office. He loved singing so well that he usually spent the Sabbath after- noons lying on his bed and singing the music book through. One day at a public dinner in the Commons Hall, after the cloth was removed and the wine brought on and many roasts drunk, Professor lVIcViccar, with some very striking and appropriate remarks, proposed: The health of Majorjames Morton,the oldest and most faithful member of the Board of Trustees, and our incomparable precentorg 'Long may br lfw to ring, and :wr litre in songf' which was drunk with a shout and a three times three. The dear old man kept his seat, with a broad smile on his face, and the tears trickling down his cheek. OLD AGE AND LONELINESS. In his old age, after his sons and daughters were all married and had gone off, he was left for several years alone, and often became very sad and depressed in spirits. In that great, big.old-fashioned country house-the seat of unbounded hospitality in former years-he livedg the only white person on the plantation except, of course, the Overseer and his family, who lived in a separate house at a distance. It had been the rule at Willington, and also at most of the houses in the neighbor- hood, to have family prayers in the morning and evening, as regularly as they got up or went to bed. It was no more omitted than breakfast-indeed, not so much. At these morning and evening prayers the house servants attended as regularly as the white people and took part in the F.X't'l'Fl.5t,.f of .vzirzgfrzg at least, if nothing else, for all negroes love singing. After the family was broken up by marriages and re- movals, these domestics, by degrees, left off attending prayers, until at last the old Major was left alone. Still he conducted the service as he had always done, not omitting any part of it. AN AFFECTING INCIDENT. Gne morning I went over to take breakfast with the old man, and to ask him to come to Arafat to dinner. It was only about a half mile from my house to his, and when I got on the porch I heard him reading aloud, and soon found it was the Bible. As I did not wish to disturb him I sat in a chair by the door where I could see him and into the room, but with his face turned in another direction he could not see me. There was not a soul in the room but himself, and there sat the sorrowful-looking old man, reading aloud as if the room were full. Then he took up the hymn-booki, and gave out two lines at a time aloud, and sang them aloud, till he finished the hymn. And then he kneeled down and prayed aloud, as he used to do with all his family. I was so touched that I wept like a child, and it was several minutes be- fore I could smooth my face and go in. I shall remember the chapter and hymn and prayer as long as I live. The chapter was fourth of Hebrews: the hymn was one he often sung, beginning- My drowsy powers, why sleep ye so? Awake my sluggish soul, etc., 37 and the prayerwas as simple as that of a child. He prayed for each family and his children so distinctly that any one knowing the dihierent families would at once know whom he meant. Two of his sons-in-law were ministers, Dr. Rice and Mr. W'harey, and he prayed that a double portion of the Spirit might be granted themg and then he prayed that Bill-v lDr. NYilliam S. Mortonl might not be carried away bythe world. Then he prayed for his negroes, that as they could not be free from earthly bondage they might be Christ's Freeclmenq and then for the Seminary, and lastly for the church the world over. It was almost as short as my sketch of it. As I remarked at the beginning, Major Morton went to High Hill: Cumberland County, to live with his son, Dr. Morton, where he died at the age of Q2 years. ze. 6 S? 38 E..

Va Richmond, Va Washington, D. C Farmville, Va Bacon's Castle, Va Senior Qllass Zgistotp Back in the misty darkness of what seems to us to be an almost prehistoric age, we vaguely picture ourselves as timorous, yet wildly excited, Freshmen. about to launch out into an unknown world which is nevertheless beautifully pictured in our imaginations. But after some little effort our recollections clear up and we recall vividly our first visit to the President, and how we proudly handed him our letters from our former school-teachers. As he read, how many thoughts shot through our minds, which were in a state of almost overwhelming uncertainty and excitement. Shall we ever forget our first night, spent in sleepless excitement? Shall we ever forget the parting advice of our loved ones, and the lump that filled our throats when we tried to assure them that we would be worthy of their trust ? These are the ex- periences that come to men only once in a lifetime, and, despite their sadness, there is a certain beauty characterizing the whole situation which we cannot wholly forget. Kind readers, fellow-classmates, would it not help us to recall these scenes oftener and to keep them ever vivid in our memories F the affectionate embraces ofour mothers and the handshakes of our fathers, with the last words, Be a man, my boy, and make us proud of you. It is such recollections that give us strength to be men, and which make us ashamed of ourselves when we show our weaknesses. Wle have tackled propositions-sometimes failing and sometimes succeeding. We have made good resolutions-sometimes breaking them and sometimes carrying them out. As we look back over our collegiate careers we are sometimes tempted to think that they have been failures: but has n't Hampden-Sidney fitted us better to make ourselves useful in the world? Has n't our training at Hampden-Sidney made us more of men? Have n't we occasionally done things to help our fellow- students? These are questions which confront us, and, thank God, fellow-classmates we can say Yes to all of them. 3 'x 45 4 Let us recall to our memories those of our number who have been taken away from us, Freeman Eppes Pryor and Howard Cleveland Montgomery. Both of these young men entered this class in their Freshman year. and by their unsellish dispositions and noble attributes won the al'l'ectionate esteem of all who were so fortu- nate as to know them. These have left lasting impressions on the hearts of their friends, which will ever stand as indestructible monuments to their memory. And now, before closing the fourth and last history that I shall ever write for the class of IQO7, it is not unbecoming that I should express briefly the sentiments of the class toward this, our dear old fflnza flfular. We love Hampden-Sidney College with a devotion so pure and-pardon my conceit-so noble, that even the commercialism and greed ofthe world, which pervade almost everything, cannot contaminate or taint it. We resolve to uphold always the interests of HampdenfSidney, and thus in a small way manifest our appreciation of the great part its influences have played in bringing out what was noblest and best in us.

MW Slunior Zbaistutp HOULD your love for Hampden-Sidney And a knowledge of the men Wlho perform her noble labors, And inspire her many pleasures, Make you seek the names of leaders And the work they each perform, I would cite to you this record Known by all as junior History. From the eastward, from the westward, In the Fall of 1904 Came six men to Hampden-Sidney To pursue the varied courses Which make college life a blessing. Modest, gentle and reserved They began their weary labor Of completing work assigned them And of changing, by their kindness, Lives of wicked thoughts and actions, Lives of idleness and sorrow, YVhich the tempter's snare had tangled Into habits grossly sinful, Back to simple lives of virtue, Crowning every bare occasion, Thinking not of compensation. With a igood deed like an elder Toward hs wayward younger brother, Lucke, Anderson, and Rogers Listened to the song of trimph XVhich came from their predecessors, VVhen they had the ablest workers ln the Young lVlen's Christian work. Then they called to their assistance Johns' and lVlorton's ceaseless eH'orts, To plant flowers and weed out brambles From the path of college travel. Earnest prayers cooperated VVith their ceaseless, noble efforts, And success and friendship followed From the hearts of honest students. Thus they gained respect's agection From their comrades one and all, And molded thus the character Of many of their fellow men 51 W'ho at first with sneers and -iesting Gave insults to their good elliorts. Of course, Time waits on no workmang He must strive when daylight lingers: So, while these grand love achievements Wvere taking hold on young men's lives, Nine fair months had fallen victims To the Time-subduing reaper. On the night preceding Finals This brave group of noble workers Gathered there upon the campus VVhere the oak spreads out its branches, Hiding light from their proceedings. Then with intermingled laughter They reviewed the year just closing. They had all become good horsemen Riding ponies through hard Latin, Shagging French and stealingGerman, Trying bluffs on every teacher. They were in the best of spirits, But their field of action had been Smaller than such men should work ing For while able, brave, and willing To engage in all the features Of the varied college contests, And thus show their weaker brothers Skill and Worth in their possession, They were young, and as poor Freshmen They must walk unnoticed byways And make silence their best partners. But, in seasons of the next year, Every contest found a worker From this strengthened corps of workmen Who were now among the counsels And the doers of' great deeds. - On that mighty band of wariors- IQOSTS strong football team- .lohns and Foster made their records Both behind and with the linemeng Yet these knights of worth in battle Were not barred from other honors, For by these and other classmen- Sophomores with sterling manhood,- Magazines were made to flourish WVith the gems of able thinkers, :Xnd the halls of Phip and Union 55 Echoed with their clarion voices Spurred to eloquence by genius. Up the hills of Soph and Freshman Through the years of four and tive, Like the fearless Alpine herald They bore high and all suppo ted Banners on which shone Excelsior. And with hearts both Hrm and hones Eyes made rich with honest thought, lVlind's which labored without ceasing Till their faces glowed with friendship, Reached undaunted, bright with courage, The plateau on which are stationed Junior records whose producers, In the generations long gone, Have both fashioned lives and molded Destinies in dillierent nations, And wrote honor as with hrebrands ln pure living Words of lire Hame, On the careless hearts of thousands Of the masses of all countries. 7 Cn the twelfth day of September, In the fall of IQO6, All recruits were brought together To the old spot by the oak tree Where the counsels and class meetings, Where the secret plans for action, Were rejected or establishedg And, succeeding the First roll call, Answered by the sixteen Juniors, They threw OFF their boyish natures With reluctance and a sadness, For they knew the age, when careless Words and deeds from them as children Were unnoticed, now had passed. Thoughtless acts were now dispensed with Each heart beat with high ambitions. They had passed the young man's playground Which divided youth from manhood, And had fallen in possession Of the keys which unlocked portals And gave entrance to distinction. To relate what since has happened Fails of justice to the 'luniorsg But sullice it, with bare mention 54 Ol' a few of the high honors Which were thrust upon my classmen, To inform you that there will stand Alongside past Junior records Monuments of inspiration ln these lives, whose emulation Does now and will in the future Root out vice and instill virtue, Imbue high and lofty purpose, Create thoughts which lived in actions,- W'ill, though born and 1'eared in thatches, Make men on whose giant morals Hangs the destiny of nations. Thus, since no man to himself' lives And since, after death live good deeds, That time increased moral lighthouse XVill the gates of Time, in silence, Guard from groveling intrusions And the misty veil ol' Future Draw aside, and on the canvas Show the ladder on which men climb To attainments world respected. And beyond and more important, To that life where sorrow ceases, Mortal tempest ceases ragingg VVhere in warm eternal sunshine Which the blessed spirits bask in, Spirits will sing praise forever To their Maker and Creator. All are neat and clean and handsome For they use the Towler laundry To which Chinese work's unequal. In society they're wonders. Skilled in all the craft and cunning, Lewis keeps the ladies laughing In the parlor with his mischief, Yet his heart to heart talks win themg For he, after years of practice' Knows the art of wooing maidens. Stras, with figure of Adonis, With the football is a whirlwind And plays baseball as by magic. Although Fleming is a midget Flesh could make no abler worker 55 a Un the ball team or in tennisg One more popular at Germans, Ur more pleasing entertainer. Boykixfs keen imagination joined to tenderness and passion, Aided by his splendid language, Give the soul inspiring stories Xvhich have made our monthly famous, Wlhile the exchange work of Haller Shines with wit, and glows with satire, Pouring scorn on worthless stories, Yet with fairness as a critic Kindles noble aspirations By his hearty Commendation Ot' the works of care and eH'ort. Thus to all I might pay homage For we have no worthless member, But both time and space have called me To put Hlinisu to this record, Granting me, by pledge of honor, As historian, permission To relate more events next year.

Soon after our appearance in this strange land we encountered that hitherto unknown species of the genus homo-the Upper-Classman. These digni- taries informed us that it was our lot to engage many of their number, called Sophs, in mortal combat. The battle was fought, and we won fame for ourselves. Vlle as- serted our superiority and were left to go our way in peace. Our Freshman year was an enjoyable as well as a profitable one, for we won for ourselves honors in the class- room and in the college world as well. But we are now Sophomores, strengthened by many new comrades from all parts of these United States, who are helping us to nobly uphold the unstained honor of Hampden-Sidney. After our fall election we turned our attention to football. XVe are pleased and gratified to announce that we had five men on the college team. Our merits are also recognized in the literary societies and our influence is especially felt in the Y. M. C. A, Without doubt, no class ever succeeded in gaining such celebrities as the class of 'oo. There is Shorty Bowden, who is unsurpassed as a fire lighter. He is in- deed, such a distinguished fellow that not only his comrades, but even the worthy pres- ident and learned professors of this noble institution of learning enviously look up to him. VVe also have among us two Kings: one, Roswell, King only in name, the other, King Jester, who, owing to the prominent importance of his position in the past, needs nointroduction to the public. Uncle Sam Hannah, whose shining pate is ever seen bobbing around among us, alternately distributing circulars of the Y. M. C. A. and ads of Raleigh Rye, is equally well known. These annals would be incomplete, however, did we not mention XVild Rose Borum, who, aided by Jonah Paxton, escaped last fall from Pawnee Bill's Circusg Stratton. the unique specimen 60 of humanity from the wilds of Wiest Virginia, whose Horid locks ever dispense a bountiful heat among us: and Buzzard Young,who keeps his mouth so tightly closed that he breathes only with the greatest difhculty. Other members of this glorious Class I might mention whose peculiarities and histories would also doubtless deeply interest my readers, but to enumerate them would not only till this Kaleidoscope, but also several volumes of far greater size. VVith an unsullied fame, and an unsurpassable record, we are pursuing our way along the devious paths of knowledge to a goal ol' high scholarships, whence we shall be ushered into the University of the YYorld.

C Lodi, Va freshman Qllass Zgtstnrp The Writer of this history wishes to dedicate it to the memory of-Iames Newton VVolf', one ofour number whom God saw tit to take from our midst. It is with no little feeling of my inability to do justice to such an important task that I take my pen in hand to record the important events that have taken place since the first time we saw Hampden-Sidney. After a few hours we thought our number suflicient to withstand the mighty Sophs, which we soon found was a sad mis- take. VVe outnumbered them three to one, and could have soon made them cut dirt if all had stood together. This is only our side of it, however. The next thing of any considerable consequence was the meeting to elect oliicers and attend to other necessary minor matters. This was held behind closed doors and we succeeded in getting through with it without much interference from outsiders. Our attention for the next few weeks was centered on football, in which some of us took our first lessons. It is proverbial for Freshmen to boast of their prowess and achievements, but we not only have our share of this spirit, but have Facts to sustain everything we say. In athletics we take the lead, having five men on the 'varsity football team. among them being our star Captain Thayer: on the Gym team we have several line men, and are well represented on the Tennis and Track teams. In the Glee Club we stand first: more than half of the men being .IO men, and our prospects are bright for at least live men on the college baseball team. The leader of the German Club is our gallant Sterett, while the heart-smasheru of the college is acknowledged to be our honorable president, VValter Moore. Our strength does not lie alone in athletics and in the social realm either. Some of the foremost and most eloquent speakers in college are proud to be numbered with the class of .IO. In the classroom is shown that mid- night oil is burnt by a number of us, although it is against the direct orders and wishes of the Sophs. 65 Intermediates past,and having recovered our poise, and, in some few instances, our hearts, we are hard at work and looking eagerly forward to baseball season, when we will be given a chance to exercise our vocal organs and beat the Sophs. Finals cannot come too soon for us,-not that we wish to part, bu when exams are over we can go home to loved ones once more: and it is with joy that we look to the future, which,we have every right to believe, will be a brilliant one for some, at least, of our number, for who can tell but that some day Senators of the U. S. may be selected from the sons ol 1o. Long ere that time we lHL1St pass into the stage of sophdom, thus leaving behind us cherished memories of our beloved Freshman class, so we bid you adieu in the following lines: ibnem Who made the big sea, mother? How did the ocean come F How many years has the sea been here, And where did the water come from? VVho dug the hole that the sea is in, And where did they put the dirt F How do the fish do in winter timei Don't the cold sea-water hurt F How deep is the big sea, mother? How long is the sea, and how wide? Where is the bottom and where are the ends, And where is the other side? VVhat keeps the sea where it's always been- Vlust where it is today? I can't see a bank anywhere out there, VVhy don't the sea run away? 66 VVhat makes the water move, mother? Wfhy is the sea never still? XVhy don't it lie like a great big pool, Like the pond at grandpzfs mill? YVhy do the little waves play and splash, And leap way up on the shore? And why do the big waves toss and push And make such a noisy roar? I never will go to sea, mother: I'm afraid of the deep, dark sea: The water looks wild and dreary And dangerous to me. So many people already Have been drowned in the ocean deep I'd rather stay home with you, mother, And have you put me to sleep. - :ary f- H,-,'y,,L 'Lfvrwj Wi f-7 f Q Kas X x 1211 5 fl? --fe - X f t, Y K .J ,QT-, aL :Bit E. :gi 67 un...

Over the mountains, the hills, the dales, Fondling the heights and kissing the yales, Into the crowded cities of man, Into the freedom of mountain clan- U'er all of creation that a spell may enthrall How sweetly there soundeth the masterly call- Calling to all to come and explore The great unknown on lVIystery's shore. Xvhflt is the charm when the sun sinks low, And the west is allame with its golden glow? There lies the beauty of a realm unknown Wvhere the light of reason has never been thrown. Wlhat is enchanting in maidenly grace, In the fairy beauty of a lovely face? Only this answer the ages unfold- A mystery unfathomed, a secret untold. Vyhat is the zest of human life, Ol' the heart's deep throbs, of the soul's long strifs? This masterful call from reality To the unknown realms of Nlystery. 68 7...

Hampden-Sidney was opened as an Academy January lst, 1776. The first prospectus ofthe Academy is found in the Virginia Gazette of 1775. and reads as follows: AN ACADEMY Prince Edward, September ISI, 1775. By the generous exertions of several gentlemen in this and some of the neighboring counties, very large contributions have lately been made for erecting and supporting a public Academy, near the Courthouse, in this county. Their zeal for the interests of learning and virtue has met with such success that they were enabled to let the build- ings in March last to several undertalcers, who are proceeding in their work with the greatest expedition. A very valuable library of the best writers, both ancient and modern. on most parts of science and polite literature, is already procured, with part of an apparatus to facilitate the studies of the Mathematics and Natural Philosophy, which we expect in a short time to render complete. The Academy will certainly be opened on the 10th of next November. It is to be distinguished by the name of Hampden-Sidney, and will be subject to the visitation of twelve gentlemen of charac- ter and inliuence in their respective counties, the immediate and acting members being chiefly of the Church of England. The number of visitors and trustees will probably be increased as soon as the distraction of the times shall so far cease as to enable its patrons to enlarge its foundations. The students will all board and study under the same roof, provided for by a common steward, except such as choose to take their boarding in the country. The I'2lt6S, at the utmost will not exceed EIO currency per annum to the steward, and E4 tuition money, zo shillings of this being always paid at entrance. The system of education will resemble 'hat which is adopted in the College of New Jersey, save that a more particular attention shall be paid to the cultivation ofthe English language than is usually done in places of public education. Three Masters and Professors are ready to enter in November, and as many more may be easily pro- cured as the increased nlumber of students may at any time hereafter require. And our prospects at present are so extremely flattering that it is probable we shall be obliged to procure two Professors more before the expiration ofthe year. The public may rest assured that the whole shall be conducted on the most catholic plan. Parents of every denomination may be at full liberty to require their children to attend on any mode of worship which either custom or conscience has rendered most agreeable to them. For our hdelity, in every respect, we are cheer- fully willing to pledge our reputation to the public, which may be more relied on because our whole success depends upon their favorable opinion. Our character and interest, therefore, being both at stake, furnish a strong security for our avoiding all party instigations, for our care to form good men and good citizens, on the com- 141 mon and universal principles of morality, distinguished from the narrow tenets which form the complexion of any sect, and for our assiduity in the whole circle ofeducation. SAMUEL S. SMITH. P. S.-The principal building of the Academy not being yet completed, those gentlemen who desire their children to enter immediately will be obliged to take lodgings for them in the neighborhood, during the winter season, which may be done in houses sulhciently convenient, on very reasonable terms. How affairs were progressing towards the opening of the Academy is told in a later letter to the Gazette: Hampden-Sidney, November 23, 1775. At a meeting of the trustees of this Academy, held on the IOth instan', Captain Philip Halcombe was elected steward. The steward is appointed to furnish whole- some diet to the students, one-half of the meat at least to be fresh, and one-half of the bread to be made of the line flour of wheat. And he obliges himself to furnish servants to keep their rooms clean and in good order, for which services he is to re- ceive at the rate of eight pounds currency per annum, forty shillings of this always to be paid at the beginning of the year, to enable him to procure good provisions and at a cheap rate. The students will be obliged to provide their own beds, or to pay a moderate hire for them, and to buy their own candles, and washing, which they may do at a small expense. For some years they will be permitted to take their wood of the land belonging to the Academy, gratis. I have the pleasure to inform the public that, notwithstanding the principal building of the Academy is at present so incom- plete, the steward will remove his family thither immediatelyg and before the ISI of lanuary he will be able, with the assistance of a few neighbor, who live well, and are within less than two miles of Hampden-Sidney, to accommodate all the young gentlemen who may be put under my care. I presume we shall not need the assist- ance of the neighborhood longer than till next summer, when the buildings will be chiefly erected. SAMUEL STAN. SMITH. N. B.-I have taken care to furnish the library with all the school books that are necessary in the course of education, which the students may make use of at a very moderate annual rate, and save themselves a great expense in buying books. Dr. lohn Blair Smith succeeded his brother as Rector of Hampden-Sidney Academy: and under him, in 1733, the Academy was chartered as a College. One sentence from the Charter gives a hint of the times :- . . . .And that, in order to preserve in the minds of the students that sacred love and attachment which they should ever bear to the principles of the present glorious revolution, the greatest care and caution shall be used in electing such professors and masters, to the end that no person shall be so elected unless the uniform tenor of his conduct manifests to the world his sincere affection for the liberty and independence of the United States of America ...,.. Patrick Henry was one of the two most distinguished men named among the incorporators, the other being James Madison. How Mr. Henry and President lohn Blair Smith were alienated is related by Dr. Foote, in his Sketches of Virginia Cpp. 431-25:- 142 Mn Smith and Mr. Henry had hitherto been friendly: Mr. Smith had been swayed by his powerful oratoryg and probably their friendship was not injured by this collision. But a circumstance afterwards occurred which separated these great men. In September, 1787, the Federal Constitution was sent OLII for the considera- tion of the people. The States acted independently in their vote upon the ratification. The Convention of the State of Virginia, which determined that question, filet in Richmond, lune, 1788. Patrick Henry opposed its adoption with all his powers. Vlfhile the subject was before the people, Henry declared himself a candidate for the Convention, and appointed a day to meet the people of Prince Edward at the Court House, and address them on the imperfections ofthat instrument and show the ground ofhis fears. Mr. Smith resolved to be present, as the Court House is but about a mile from the College, and confront him, by defending the proposed Constitution. On the given day, Mr. Smith was summoned to visit a dying lady in his congregation, and could not attend. An immense concourse of people assembled, and listened to the powerful attack of Mr. Henry: there was no reply. A young gentleman, a mem- ber of Mr. Smith's family, took down the speech in short-hand. In a short time there was public speaking in the College Hallg as usual, there was a large assemblage: among others Mr. Henry came to listen and encourage. One of the best speakers, without any previous announcement, delivered Mr. Henry's speech, at the Court House, on the Federal Constitution, his respondent delivered a speech prepared by Mr. Smith, in defence of the Constitution, and in reply to Mr. Henry's objections. Mr. Henry was taken by surprise, and offendedg and complained to Mr. Smith, at the conclusion ofthe exercises, for the unjustifiable advantage taken of him on the occasion. Mr. Smith contended there had been no advantage, unless the speech had been incorrectly reported, in that case he would make amends. Mr. Henry com- plimented the correctness of the stenographer, but complained of the abrupt intro- duction ofthe subject, the tartness of the reply, and the appearance of an attempt to expose him before that large audience. Mr. Smith replied, that the speech at the Court House was made to the public, and that it was well known a reply was intended. Ifa correct report of the Court House speech had been presented, there could be no cotnplaint lodged against the reply. Mr. Henry was not satisliedg and from being a regular hearer of Smith, withdrew entirely from his auditory ....... From the 'hLa1L'J of Hampden-Sz'dnfy College, Printed bfiumrrz the years 1817 mul 1820, Dr. Moyes ffogf being Pnxtident and Hor1.711me.t flffnzfisorz, Ex-President of tbe United Stafex, being the leading Trustee: It shall be the duty ofthe tutors to teach the Grammar School, and such classes in College as may be assigned them. The tutors are to live in the college edifice, to preserve order in and about the college, and to visit the rooms of the students once a day, and oftener, if necessary. The tutors are to attend the meals of the, students, to ask a blessing and return thanks at the table, and to see that the students conduct themselves with propriety during the whole time they are in the dining-room.

It is recommended to the students to avoid extravagance in dress and furniture: but every student is required to keep his person, clothes and room neat and cle en. The students shall be allowed tvn weeks vacation in each year. The Fall session shall commence annually on the first of November, and close on the last Friday in April: and the Spring session on the first of -lune, and close on the last Friday in September.

He shall provide three good and well prepared meals each day, at such times as the faculty shall direct: but he shall I'lOt be obliged to p1'ovide any by-meals for any student or students who shall not attend at the regular hour of breakfast, dinner, or supper, except in cases of sickness or inability to attend the dining-hall. The college servant is under the sole direction of its oH'icers: to them complaint may be made: but no student is allowed to employ him in services other than his stated duty, or on any pretence to chastise him, or treat him with abusive language. LIBRARIAN He shall attend at the library one day in every two weeks at noon, during the session, to receive books, and to deliver them to all who have a right to apply. From the Catalogue of 1822:f Hampden-Sidney College was founded in 1775, and has been principally sup- ported by the munificence of individuals. It has received from the State two tracts of escheated land which were valued at S5,000, and has obtained at different times, as the necessities of the Institution required, the amount of 540,000 from private liberality. But nearly the whole of these funds has been expended in erecting the necessary College buildings, and purchasing the Library and Philosophical Apparatus. The present funds ofthe Institution, exclusive of the College buildings, Library, and Chemical and Philosophical apparatus, consist of 120 acres of land on which the College buildings are situated, one other small tract in the vicinity, and 4.3 shares of Bank Stock of the Bank of Virginia, 30 shares of which must be disposed of shortly to defray the expenses of a new Common's Hall. The annual income of this property is about 59200. Although the Institution has had to encounter many difficulties from want of funds, yet it has generally been n successful operation and has educated upwards of ISOO young men, many of whom are of eminent usefulness in the country, and some of distinguished abilities. 1.15 But the Institution suH'ers greatly at this time from a want of better accommo- dations llor the students. Although the Trustees have procured by private subscrip- tion, within the last two years, 814.300, which has enabled them to commence a new building and complete 14. rooms, yet such has been the increase in the number of students, that they are subjected to the great inconvenience of being crowded together to the number of3 or 4 in a single room. To complete this building, which will be 187 feet long, 4 stories high, and con- tain 48 rooms For students and 5 large public rooms, will require an additional sum of I2 or 15,000 dollars.

From rbf Catalogue of 1881-.8211 I'Iitherto, all students of' the College have been required to attend together a Bible-class on Sunday. In this class, recitations were not graded. Desirous to secure for our pupils a more thorough acquaintance with Biblical Science than could be given through the sole use of this means, the authorities of Hampden-Sidney have determined to devote one recitation of' every secular Week to Biblical Instruction. On these recitations students will be graded as on other parts ofthe course, and proficiency in Biblical Science will be indispensable to graduation. 146 1Brt5e Qtbolarsbips The H. H.

Coming from one of the most beautiful and highly improved sections of the Valley of Virginia, his heart went down into his fhomemadel shoes as he looked upon the place that Was to be his home for the next five years of his life. Little did he dream that the Hill would become the dearest spot on earth to him, but so it wasg and now when he has almost reached the threescore mark, with the home of his early years in ashes, and the light of present home gone out, the place where he spent those five years of his life-years which had on them no shadow, and in which some of the deepest lines of his spiritual life were writtengthere is no spot in this beautiful world that seems to him to be as near to Heaven as that which We then called the Hill, as do those who live there now. Let no one think that it is the golden glamour of the days that are no more which inspires this thought, nor quote the wise man's caution, Say not thou,VVhat is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire concerning this. The Romans put the Golden Age in the past, but they were pagans and knew no better. To the Christian the Golden Age is yet to come. Today is the best day the World has ever seeng to- morrow will be better than today, and it is better farther on. Please keep this thought in mind, kind reader, in judging ofall that shall hereinafter be written making or implying comparison of past and present things at dear old Hampden-Sidney. The object of this paper is not to write Ichabod over the dear old College as it now is, as though its glory had departed, because it diders now from what it was in our dayg for she is better equipped now to do her work for the men of today, according to their needs, than she would be if she had only the equipment of forty years ago. The only purpose of this paper is to tell to those who know it now what Hampden-Sidney was then, what it looked like and what was done there, with something of the men who did thingsfg for they and their work are the very foundations of her present glory. 149 I. Tlwirlgr fl'll1fF7'I'!lf. All the buildings embraced at that time within the limits of the Hill numbered seventeen, including the store and a little shoe shop behind it, and excluding kitchens, stables, and chicken coops. Around the college campus were the symptoms of a decayed wooden fence. Between two gateless posts of this old fence the main driveway to the college meandered at its own sweet will, unguided by mathematical or other rules. All other walks and ways were mere footpaths and water-channels. All over the northern,eastern, and southern parts of the campus there was a dense growth of Scotch broom from four to seven feet high, and dense thickets of it grew in the churchyard and down the Via Sacra. To the west and south of the college grew the grand old oaks that are there now. The college itself bore dark weather stains on its northern wall, and green moss grew on the north side of the shingle roof. On the Seminary side things were a little better. The Via Sacra was fairly well built and drained. VVhat was called a sidewalk extended along the whole front of the grounds, the fence was whole, the inside walks well cared for, and the lawn adorned to some extent with planted trees and Hower beds, while the yards of the professors' houses had flower beds and shrubberies that were ornamental and attractive. 2. The Sarraf Lift' of flu' Hzifl. It is very hard to select words to describe adequately the social life of Hampden- Sidney forty years ago, that will not seem florid land torridl to readers of today, for there is not now existing to my knowledge a counterpart to it. And yet it was so beautiful, and even then so unique and so strangely free from Haws of every sort, that it deserves to be photographed. Woe worth the hand that tries to carve even in outline the cameo picture of its classic beauty, nor would the attempt now be made but that justice to those we've loved long since and lost awhile outweighs all personal considerations of reputation as a Writer and historian. The people were all well-born. well-bred,well-educated Christians of the highest type. It used to be said by outsiders that even the young folks had no more stimulating form of diversion than that afforded by going to the chapel to hear the Seminary students preach. It was called their only dissipation - and Iwill not deny, with regard to the same, what that name might imply, for they generally went in pairs, and it is not hard to guess what they talked about on the way, for it is a matter of history that Hampden-Sidney furnished wives for the Seminarians Cand marriageable college menj till the stock was exhausted, and some of those girls strewed the shores of two continents with the wrecl-Ls their charms had wrought,and a great host that no man can number made unsuccessful but strenuous elforts to find wives where they had found their fate. To call the 150 roll of the families that made up the society of the Hill would be ample proof of all that has been written about it. The Faculty of the Seminary was composed of Doc- tors Dabney, Smith, Peck, and S. B. YVilson. The Co'lege Faculty consisted of Dr. Atkinson and Professors Holladay, Blair, Martin, and Kemper. All of these had families except Prof. Blair and Col. Kemper, and their homes were the homes of the students, in many cases, and all of them had table boarders from College or Seminary, and many from both institutions. Plain living and high thinking was the law ot life in these homes, and it is easy to understand how intimate fellowship with such men and women stamped an indelible mark upon the very souls of the young men who enjoyed the privilege of their companionship. As illustrating this, it is pertinent here to tell that while there was the utmost freedom of proper speech at those tables there was never any evil gossip. Many a poor fellow lived hard for weeks because of the jokes gotten on him about where he went, and what he said and did, by his room- mate's telling these things on him at one breakfast table while he was telling or listen- ing to similar yarns on someone else at another table, but had to face the jokes and questions of the other boys when they gathered before chapel. There was never any- thing said to wound or offend a man of normal healthy mind or conscience. The social atmosphere was absolutely pure. Another unique feature of the social life of that time was the lack of all formality except the universal and unchangeable forms of good breeding. Any man in College or Seminary was free to enter any parlor at any time that was not devoted to the domestic life and duties of the household. VVhen a student got tired of books and wanted to talk to a girl, he needed only to change his collar and his coat, brush his hair and his shoes, put on his hat and go to see her. There was no need of any note land fee to bearerl to make an engagement with the girl. If some other fellow had gotten there before him there was nothing to prevent the last comer from going in and seeing the girl but his own ill temper, for those girls could talk to six men at once and make each one think he was having the best time ofall. It is needless to say that there were no germans or dances of any kind, or that any man or woman who proposed to have one would not have lived long there. Prom- enading Ken massej on the campus Commencement nights and after other College social functions was the nearest approach to the present style of social mingling of men and women we ever made. There were no whist clubs either, because the air did not agree with such brainless entertainments, nor did the spirit of the time and place make it seemly to introduce amusements tainted by the associations of the card table. The reading club and choir meetings were our other general modes of enter- tainment. Of the dual modes of entertainment this deponent saith nought, except that they were numerous and delightful, but very much like those prevalent every- where when one man and fbe one woman foregather. Kind reader, don't you wish ISI you had been there? It is hard for one who had tasted the pure, strong joy of such a life to understand how any man or woman of a sound mind and a clean heart and an earnest soul can find enjoyment in the brainless and tainted forms of social enter- tainment that are now everywhere prevalent. 3. Thr :Uni of flu' Tfnzf. Tbry :rare nzan, all over and all throughg men with iron in their blood and charac- ters, who laid the grip of their giant souls on the hearts and minds of the students who entered their homes and sat in their class1'ooms. Qnce in Dr. :Xtlcinson's room at an informal meeting of the Senior Class of 1868, for discussion of things outside ofthe regular course, a young Kentuckian remarked, DL Atkinson, I have not seen a line horse or cow, nor a good sheep or hog since I came to Prince Edward. VVho that was there will ever forget that scene? The grand old doctor threw back his shoulders, straightened up to his full six feet two, and smiled down on the young man as he towered over him, and said, No, sir, we raise mmz here! The young man also smiled,with the kind ofa smile thattakes a long time to come off a man's face-and we smiled out loud for a long time also. Those men ofthe olden days were not moss- backs. They lived not in the dead past, but in their vivid, strenuous present, and toiled for the glowing future which their prophetic vision enabled them to hehold in its beauty. Prof. Holladay early predicted, in 1367, two of the most startling discov- eries or inventions of the present day-wireless telegraphy and the electric motor, and told us the facts of electricity on which these two things depend, which he had dis- covered with the poor tools he had to work with. The spirit of these men was the same as that ofGen. R. E. Lee, which made him give the last and greatest of his grand life's labors to the education of the young men of the South, rather than to the up- building of his lost fortune. They infused their own vitality of mind and heart and soul into the lives and characters of the men they taught and trained. They werelike the Toilers of the Sea, who builded deep down in still waters the foundations of mighty coral reefs by laying fll!'I71,Yt'f'LVt'.Y down as foundations for the upper layers to rest upon. They did their best with what they had, and very much of what the men of this day are now enjoying is the product of the toil and wisdom of those large, strong men of the past. The New South is what it is because the Old South was what it was, and in no aspect are these words more true than in their application to dear old Hampden-Sidney. These men were like the sons of Issachar, who gathered at He- bron ro turn the kingdom unto David at the death of Saul. They were few in number, but they had understanding of the times to know what Israel ought to do. They did not try to uproot and overturn the structures their fathers had founded, and try to build a great university on the foundations of a small college, to be sustained by 152 the impoverished people of old Virginia. They retained the curriculum as the back- bone of the college course, making it Hexible las every good backbone isl by elective courses for men who had neither time nor money nor training enough to take the regu- lar course. The wisdom of their plans has had its vindication plainly written in the records made by Hampden-Sidney graduates and students in the University of Virginia and at Johns Hopkins. Call the roll of her alumni since the war,and you will find on the list some of the most honored namesin the land. She can safely and proudly challenge comparison with institutions much larger and richer and better advertised. Her Board of Trustees and Faculties that succeeded the veterans ol' forty years ago have been wise enough and strong enough to carry on the life and work of the grand old college along the lines laid down by theliathers, and have thus proven themselves men of Issachar also, as is to be clearly seen in the present condition of al'l'airs. There is one thing going to show the wisdom of those who made the college what it was in the days covered by this sketch which deserves special mention and emphasis. They dealt with the students in all matters as men of thought and charac- ter, and appealed to their highest instincts. Wihen a student asked Dr. Holladay, in 1866, what were the rules of college, the reply was, Do your work and be a gentle- manlu That was all we ever heard on this subject, and it was enough for a man who wished to do right. Vllould any more be sullicient to keep a man right who wished to go wrong? For instance, all that was required of the students about leave ot' absence from college for a day or two was to ask Dr. Atkinson's permission and get it verbally. One student recalls vividly a time when he was excused by ilI'r.r. Atkinson and incurred no censure for the absence. 4. The Sfualfnf Body of flu' TI'!I1z'. This was as unique as any other feature of the microcosm pictured in these annals, and it is hard for one who was Hparticeps criminis to do it justice without suspicion of partiality. But the facts to be narrated will be the best land a sullicientil answer to such a charge. A very large proportion of them were matured, grave. and earnest men, who had by their own hard work or kind fortune secured the means to pay for their education, and they had little time and no inclination for anything but hard work. A large proportion fperhaps three fourthsl were earnest Christians, and about one third candidates for the ministry. One element. and perhaps the most impor- tant, was the Senior Class that graduated in 1867. All of this class Cas it is now re- memberedj had served in the Confederate Army, where their manhood had been tested and seasoned. These men had so impressed themselves upon the college that idleness and frivolity were not in Fashion, and yet they were not in any sense prigs or Miss Nanciesf' To their influence on the whole student body was due the state 153 of things described by Dr. Atkinson in his address to this class on the rostrum when they graduated. During the session that is now closing not a single case of disorder has occurred in college, requiring the attention of the Faculty. Not a single student has been called before the Faculty for disorderly conduct or for failure in the class- room. Not one oath has been heard on the campus, and no cards or whiskey have been brought into the college so far as is known to the Faculty. In all the range of college Commencement literature it would be hard to match those statements, yvould it not F And it should be told further that these strong words of the President could not be disprove-d, but were endorsed as almost entirely accurate after an informal but honest canvass of the facts, by the students themselves. The only things known by us that qualified them were that one man was known to cuss some when he got mad, and one poor fellow had once been so overcome by liquor in one of the Society Halls that the Librarian had to put him to bed in his own room. XVith these exceptions Dr. .LXtkinson's strong words received a vote of confidence from us all. It is simple justice to the dead and honor to the living members of that noble class, to whose in- fluence this state of things was due, to give their names, as one of the honor rolls of Hampden-Sidney. They were Thos. YV. Crawley, Thos. R. Edmunds fdec'dl. Robt. A. Gibson fBishop of Diocese of Northern Virginiaj, Henry T. Harrison, Chas. A. Scott, E. R. Stamps ldec'dl, Willis B. Smith. Prof. Wan. M. Thornton fdean of the Department of Engineering at Virginia's great universityl writes of these very men :- My recollection is that these men, being older and more mature, and in the main, men of much dignity and force of character, exercised a powerful inHuence on the tone of college life. They made it funless my memories Hatter itl the best that I have ever known anywhere. Our class of 1868, while not so strong as that of 1867, and composed of men much younger in the average, had received such an impression from these men, and absorbed so much of the high college spirit of the time, that the life at college continued to be such as is described by Prof. Thornton. There was no disorderly conduct among the students of our day. To illustrate this statement, it is pertinent to record the history of the only calathump and the only lark of the period covered by these annals. The calathump was organized, as a relief from ennui, by the stay-at-college contingent during the Christmas ,recess of 1866. XVe were too poor to go home. and, therefore, doubly lonesome,so set about to make a little noise. We gathered, very hastily, a few bells flent us by our housekeeping friendsl, some old tin pans, two tin horns, some shingles, and joints of stovepipe. We went first to Dr. .-Xtkinson's and then to the other professors' houses, winding up at Prof.Martin's. The ground was covered with snow live inches deep, and Dr. Martins old dog had made a bed in the leaves under the shrubbery in the front dooryard. We had not yet aroused any consternation, anger, or attention of any kind, but the old dog got up, yawned, and lay down to sleep again in the midst of our racketg whereupon we unanimously and spontaneously voted that if we could not wake up a dog, we'd better go home and to bed, which we did immediately, leaving most of our instruments of music piled up in the main walk at the door. The next winter one of the students. returning to college about eleven o'clock one night, found a rail fence built across the Via, a pile of cord wood in the middle of the road, near the store, and all the front gates piled up on the lxvrongl porches of the Seminary professors' houses. He re- ported these things at college and a vigilance committee was organized at once, which later arrested the mischief-makers and haled them before a mass-meeting convened around the Belfry, where the culprits had been confined. After subjecting them to cruel Cverball tortures the offenders were condemned to be shut up in their rooms till their cradles and nurses could be sent for, on the ground that Freshmen capable of such brainless follies were too young to live alone at college. No more such escapades occurred during that dynasty, and the citizens of the Hill knew nothing of that one till told of it at breakfast that morning, for the discipline of contemptuous ridicule so wrought upon the culprits that they got up at 2 A. M. and quietly undid what they had done. The chivalry of men towards women at that day was of a sort that seems to be out of fashion now, even in the South. One day in the spring of 1867, a Junior saw a young lady, who was not very popular with the boys, come out of the gate of the steward's hall and pause in confusion when she found she must pass near a group of laughing boys to go to the post office. He went to her, took off his hat, and asked to be allowed to escort her across the campus. In 1899 the same man, when visiting Hampden-Sidney, heard a dainty, refined, and popular young lady,who lived in that same steward's hall, say that she visited her friends very little because she had to cross the campus to go anywhere, and when she did the boys cried Calico at her from their windows so offensively that she had not the courage to face them. College honor in those days meant the honor of the rollfgf, and of every man in it Cnoblesse obligei and not the bastard, misshapen thing that is now everywhere called by that name, which makes it more lJonorab1ef?l for a student to wink at and con- ceal real crimes fsuch as defacing or destroying valuable propertyl than it is to give up the guilty men to thejust punishment oftheir crimes. That is but a poor sort ofhonor which forces a man to conceal or deny his knowledge of a theft because the thief is his friend. And yet college men today, of blameless character in other respects, take the ground that they will be expelled from college rather than be questioned on their honor about the gross misconduct of their comrades, even when they know that the contingent deposits their fathers have made for them will be entirely consumed to pay for damage done to college property. In effect they allow their comrades to ,deal money to the tune of hundreds of dollars, but they are too honorable to expose them. There is no reasoning but sophistry that can make college honor anything else than the plain, common, everyday sort, which is respect foruthe things that are honorablei' and respect for one's self. 155 There was no having of new boys :Il this period of ancient history, except an occasional mock initiation of some hopeless greenhorn into a bogus fraternityg-just to teach him a little sense-fool-curing instead of fool-killing. The :Xthletics of that day were of the simplest sort imaginable. A horizontal, bar and parallels under a tree in front of fourth passage was our only K'Gym. Prisonefs base, baseball, wood-chopping, and long walks were the forms of outdoor sport then prevailing, and these, with temperate eating, made obligatory by hard times, gave the men of our day vigor to work twelve out of every twenty-four hours without breal-:ing down, and some were known to put in sixteen hours! The baseball rules called for a pfirlmzl ball in the strictest sense. The swing of the pitcher's arm was forward with a stilli elbow ill, and the ball I'I1L1St leave his hand at the level of his hips. The literary societies had a large place in the life of our generation, and their honors were sought very eagerly, but only by methods entirely honorable and Ull- political. An incident in the history of Union Society illustrates and demonstrates the spirit of the time. NVhen the election of medalist was to be held in 1363, one of the only two nominees olliered a resolution, which was seconded by the other one, that no medalist be elected this year, because we do not think that either of the parties nominated deserved a medal which has been won by men of such high order in the past. The Society, however, elected a medalist, and the man who was not elected is now one of the leading educators of Virginia, and of the other one Hthis deponent saith nothing. L.

My old friend Algernon Sidney dined with me at Hotel Cecihwhere we discussed the plan of paying a visit to the college over in America which was named in our honor. YVe recalled with no little pleasure our last trip to Hampden-Sidney in ISQS. Finding out that a boat sailed for New York on -lan. 17, we decided to go on that date. 7071. I6.TL0lltl0f1.

VVe went out to the Jamestown Exposition grounds, where we saw only sand and piles of plank. We left Norfolk at eight o'clock for Farmville. '59 ll Yan. 26.fff1r'r111'1'fli'.-HfzlrzpJvrl-Szidrzfy. We arrived in Farmville at one o'clock this morning and went to the Gasoline, which is the name of the inn kept by a very loquacious man named West. VVe went to bed, and, eating an early breakfast, we drove out to Hampden-Sidney, arriv- ing in time to go to chapel. VVe went into the Memorial Hall and listened very atten- tively to the little man whom we presumed to be the president, conduct the chapel services. After chapel was over we went out and were very much amused to see several students playing leapfrog. One ofthese foolish students was very tall and thin. His friends called him Shorty. Another one of the leapfrog players, who was called Tootsie, was very fat, while another, who was called l'Grigg,,' looked very much like a girl.-Tiring of this, we Went upstairs and entered the first classroom, where we heard a red-headed man, with blazing eyes, yell out, Goodness alive, man! that is so simple that a wayfaring man, though a fool, might not err therein. Throw him down and drag him out. Listening a little longer, however, we found out that we were in a Latin class. VVe were very much pleased with this professor and agreed that he was an excellent teacher. We then went into the next classroom, and, taking our seats in the back of the room, we listened attentively, and heard the following conversation. Prof.- My dear sir, I cannot understand your attitude towards your work. I cannot comprehend how anyone can so absolutely ignore his duty as you are doing. Now, didn't you promise me just two weeks ago that you were going to attend to your work F Humble Student.- I believe I did, sirf' Prof.- But that's not my question, sir: don't you know you promised. Now reflect. Humble Student.- Yes, sir. This professor does certainly know how to appeal to the students. We were both wr-v well pleased with him.-Going into the next classroom, we saw a tall, loose- jointed, and handsome young man talking very earnestly to a crowd of students about the dil'l'erent colors. We could not tell whether he was describing a rainbow or a student named Townley's suit of clothes. Not being very much interested in this Study, we went into the next classroom, where we were just in time to hear an old gentleman,who was racing madly up and down the room, scream out, lVIeester Elcan, I say it in all reverence, for God's sake, learn the article if it is the last day save one. Deeke, you ought to know this. I have told it to you every day for four years.' Then the kind-hearted old gentleman told a joke which threw the class into paroxysms of laughter. Truly he is a fine old gentleman and has the welfare of his students at heart.-Going into the next classroom, we saw a very learned-looking man intensely 160 interested in teaching his class. Taking our seats. we heard him say, My stars, gentlemen! if you will only give me your attention,what will you do? You will learn this subject. So, gentlemen, what is my advice to you? lwy advice to you is to listen attentively to every word I say. Now, Mr. Simmerman, who was Boethius fi' VVhereupon, for some reason unknown to Algernon and myself, the class laughed. Listening further, we became firmly convinced that this gentleman, whom the students affectionately called Baldy was an excellent teacher. Leaving the Memorial Hall, we went over to the Physics classroom, where we were very much interested in the experiments which the professor carried out. This class we considered to be the best we had seen, and we were struck with the interest shown by the members ofthe class. VVe next went to the Chemical Laboratory, and, taking our seats, we listened to a sandy-haired, clean-shaven man call his roll, stopping at every third name to shoot ambier into a jar which stood near by. YVe heard the following:- Prof.- E-hem: p-chew! Today we have a test, and I have written the ques- tions on the board. These questions are perfectly clear, so I hope no one will ask questions about them. For five minutes the whole class worked in silence.-Then a student, whom we afterward learned was called Nervy Nat, very humbly asked, D0ctor, wont you please explain that second question,'Describe the action of acids On metals PM Prof.-4 'De.vrr1'l1e' means igl.'L'I' I1 Jv.frr1'pt1'on of 'g'art1'0n' means 'llfai fwbirla fnkvf plat-K: 'of' means 'off which is usually the sign of possessiong 'tzridr' are a certain group of compounds which you ought to, but doubtlessly do not, know aboutg 'on' means means 'uporfg 'nzetalr' means those elements which are not non-nzfralx. This professor is certainly a very good man to give explanations.- Going out, we saw our old friend Stokes Brown, Esq.,who gave us a very warm welcome. He was kind enough to tell us many very interesting stories, among which was an incident about a certain Mr. Martin telling Prof.-- a joke. He also gave us a description of a reception which Dr. Bagby gave to the Faculty some years ago. Stokes was kind enough to go with us up to the postofhce, and there he told us all about the different students. Although it was broad daylight, some of the students carried lanterns, and upon closer examination, we found them to be the same students who were playing leapfrog outside of chapel. We saw a little pink-headed fellow with a red flannel shirt on, and green tie. VVe also saw a fellow who was walk- ing about in his sleep. I believe they called him Dare Sitting in a buggy was a very gaudily attired, but handsome young man. He had on a gray plaid suit, a green vest, purple shirt, and red tie. The students called him Brock. During the whole time there was a rather tall fellow who laughed very loudly, seemingly at nothing. They called him Osborne There was another student who amused us very much, named Billy. Someone told him he had the Screwtight complexion. I6I just what this meant we didn't know, but this Billy did I1Ot seem to be pleased with the compliment. Out in the middle ofthe road we saw a crowd standing around a fellow whom they called Sim, who was telling a joke. After having waited patiently for several minutes to hear the funny part of his story we were interrupted by Stokes. who told us that it was the legislature joke, and that not even Osborne had ever been able to laugh at it, and he urged us to move on. This we did with no great deal of reluctance. Finding out that the hack-if such a name may be applied to so venerable a vehicle-left in a few minutes, we boarded it, and bade farewell to old Hampden-Sidney, resolving that we would pay another visit next year. ri +5 Q - X6 WZ 'iff all 1 ,.,4,, if ts ' m 162 Qtattstiw XF T XV.-XS delightful starry night. and the following day was to be a holiday. jj I was a splendid opportunity to get an insight into the natures of some of the students, This I thought I might accomplish easily by quietly walk- F ing the halls on every passage, for ifas when I attended college, on the night preceding a holiday one might in all probability find the students in their own or other students' rooms enjoying their natural hobby. I was starting across the valley toward Cushing Half, when the idea first occurred to me, and so pleasant did the warm, lazy spring SCCITI that ere long even my thoughts had stolen back to long- gone pleasures, and I was reveling, as is my nature, in dreams of earlier and more careless days. S0 absorbed had I been in tender memory that I walked the entire distance to the hall unconscious of even present existence. I was awakened to a realization of my whereabouts by a peculiar sort of noise just through the wall. I entered the hall and found it to be in the bathroom. My heart began to bleed in pity, for I thought someone was being murdered, but upon rushing through the door I found it was only Southall taking his first bath. He was not hurt: the unearthly noise was doubtlessly prompted bythe pain of the exertion and the peculiar strange- ness of the shower. Upon surveying the bathroom I found our star fencer, Bowden, standing under another shower keeping the water from his body by flourishing the sword over his head. I left the bathroom and went up on fourth passage in quest of knowledge. Through a half opened door I saw Haller sitting before a mirror counting the bumps on his head,which had been shaved on the preceding day. He was so preoccupied by the thought that his watermelon head had the best shape, his body was the most grace- ful Egure, and his natural intelligence and extensive knowledge so far superior to the other college boys that I left him to die in his sins. At the belfry, while listening to Herbert -loynes relate to a crowd of mouth-open Freshmen his glorious victories ofthe diamond and his seventy-yard gains of the gridiron, I was met by a stalwart, noble youth whose very presence impressed me. Upon acquaintance I learned it was Johns, the best athlete and all-around man on the Hill. I was silently admiring his noble bearing and manner when in the comparative darkness I nearly stumbled over some fat somebody sitting on the outside steps of First passage. He seemed as if his very tongue were cleft to the roof of his mouth: his eyes were shut, and his lips just barely touching each other. I knew that the boy was worn out, for he didn't speak when I ran into him: merely a groan escaped him. But to my surprise I found that he was not tired, unless tired of resting. It was Dare, who had stalled upwhile en route to his room on fourth. 163 Vllhile passing quietly through the hall I saw a curtain stretched across the mid- dle of Barnard's room. I waited a moment and saw O'Neal, the college star, draw aside the curtain and come out in the center ofthe Hoor. Onlya few words, aided by his wild look, long beard, and mul'l'led voice, sulhced to prove that he was practicing his part, the wandering Jew, in The Prince of India. just across the hall I found Lancaster and Chambliss studying their lessons,and Young writing what seemed to me to be a speechg and my conclusion was correct, for about an hour afterwards I heard him down on the campusispeaking to the trees. It was meant for a contest, but -well, I wont say anything. He may be able to write something some day. It was a night ofwonderful happenings. Carrington was further across the campus, on a stump, convincing a crowd of silly rats ofthe great opportunities and honor which lie in store for the politician. Sterret and Kay were leading a german which was being given in honor of a group of fair visitors from the Normal. Toot Ruffner was sitting in the smoking room, in smoke as dense as a Newfingland fog, enjoying the combined fumes of the dozen cigarettes necessary to his satisfaction. Over in the corner sat another group of bewildered Freshmen drinking in the mysteries of King's scientific card game, California Jack. Paxton and Stratton, in the drawing-room, were manfully but vainly striving to entertain some dance-tired ladies. This last sight -for sight it was, because it was generally conceded that these boys were not the handsomest in college-grieved me somewhat, owing to the fact that they thought they were making a hitg but, being relieved by the pleasant thought that what they didn't know would hardly hurt either of them, I stole quietly across the room to the piano, which Martin played with a soft and delicate but marvelously accurate touch, while Vilalter Moore sang the popular Irish ballad, entitled, YVho Threw Mush in Papa's Vfhiskers F I started hack to Cushing Hall, convinced that college life remains eternally the same. The faces were different, but I had in two hours seen every feature of my long-gone college days. I was even coming to the conclusion that it was more varied thanformerly, or that the present student body was peculiarly varied in its make-up, but I was not permitted to reason out the conclusion at which I had so quickly ar- rived, for just then there darted past me two line-looking young men in an automobile, scaring me nearly out of my wits. They were the college sports Fatty Thayer and Ned Hawkins en route for Farmville. Thayer was also considered the handsomest man on the Hill. Before retiring I paid a visit to the old mess house, where at nine o'clock Pig Atkins sat eating, having never left the supper table. He seemed nearly foundered, but was too busy to hardly notice a passer-by. My early discoveries ofthe evening had giyen me much pleasure, and, fearing some other painful dis- closure similar to the table scene, I went to bed. 164 S E P'r. OCT.

They are well tailored when they hold their shape. They are good values when they wear well.. They are stylish when up to date and fit well.

If the coats do not hold their shape they make new coats. Their samples of cloths are the talk of the country. A thousand tailor shops in one.
