3n iKlrmoriam leiUiam IB fStmorr Portion Born in 3Siclinionti, J irginia nniiani 10. 1905 IBicti in aairlinionD. Jl!»irginia Bcccmbcr 25, 1926 William Wcslmore Gordon was a student of the University of Virginia from the fall of 1924 till his sudden death on Christmas Day, 1926. He was born in Richmond, Virginia, January 10, 1905, the son of Thomas Christian Gordon and Ruth Nelson Robins Goidon. He was the descendant of two distinguished families whose part has been a significant one in the history of the Slate. His paternal grandfather. Colonel William Westmorc Gordon, for whom he was named, served in the War Between the Slates under General Stonewall Jackson and afterwards gained an illustrious name in law. His maternal grand father was Colonel William Todd Robins who served under General J. E. B. Stuart. He received his preliminary education in Richmond, attending the Chamberlayne School from 1917 to 1920 and the John Marshall High School during the session. 1920-21. After a year ' s absence from school, he went to the Episcopal High School in the fall of 1922 where he prepared for the University. In the fall of 1924 he entered the University wheie he matriculated in the Depart- ment of Engineering. Shortly afteiwards he became a member of the Zela Psi Fraternity. The following year he t:ansfcrred to the Academic Department to prepare himself for the study of Law. He continued in this course of study until overtaken by an untimely death. To know Billy was to love him. To associate with him was to feel a spirit o( gentleness and kindness. His trails were those of another generation — ever dominated by a deference and love for his fellowman. An affectionate disposition, a life guided by a deep sense of honor and integrity, and a heart filled with kindness en- deared a noble soul lo us who knew him. Our memory of him is sacred, and evei will there rest the vision of gentleness — not dimmed by death. In his passing the University experienced a profound sorrow at the loss of a devoted son. He bore an honoured name as a gentleman without reproach. J.E.S., jr., andH. W., jr.
