FUNERAL SERVICE FOR DR. ALDERMAN

his own experiences had varied too widely, to limit his effectiveness to any particular social group. Thus, a swift change from Bumpass to Bar Harbor never to him seemed either sudden or singular. Of all his exceptional gifts probably the one that most quickly brought him national fame was his ability as a public speaker. There he was at his best. His impressive appearance, his limpid clearness of thought, his charm and felicity of expression, made him a power before any audience. And few great speakers have ever possessed such a voice. lts resonance, its range and register, its purity of tone, its velvety richness, all made it fall upon the ear of the listener like the sound of water to the traveller in the arid desert. His Memorial Address on Woodrow Wilson, delivered before Congress in Washington, has been declared by many of the most competent critics to have set a new high mark for modern oratory. Yet he could thrill students at an athletic mass meeting with equal ease, or give sage counsel twithout unctuous pietyl to a graduating class, as in his masterly speech, Magnani- mitas.H His six-minute talk in the Chapel, when the Archer Christian Tablet was dedicated, showed his power of compression without the sacrifice of clearness, force or beauty. Though he was an avowed apostle of the New South, seldom has the sentiment of the Old South found such a herald and interpreter as he showed himself in his address, Virginia, delivered at the unveiling of a battle monument at Petersburg. Aptly he has been called nthe refounder of the University of Virginia ; for in the history of that great institution his name will be linked with that of Thomas Jefferson. For more than a quarter of a century he guided aright the destinies of our university. And through this distinction he became the recognized interpreter of Southern education to all the nation. Truly it may be said of him that he has eternally enhanced Virginia's storied fame, as he has forever enriched the spiritual heritage of his country's glory. --ARMISTEAD M. DOBIE. l12J
