In all our arduous labors, we have never been unmindful ot the source of our inspiration, the sacred reverence tor the trlorv ot our Alma Mater, so closely interwoven with the memories ot Colonial ' irginia. We have endeavored to embody in this little volume, only w hat has the greatest claim to merit, what best represents our college life, and what, in later years, when in a reminiscent mood we excavate this time-worn volume from its hiding place, will give us the most vivid and the most pleasant pic- ture of The days that are no more Gentle reader, then judge our aim I Should we have tailed, to us alone attribute all the blame. But to all we do proclaim that duty done makes less poignant each bit ot censure. We ask you to view our work with a kindlv eye, and when hostile criticism boils within you, remember that we are but a band ot untempered youth. We desire to express our deep gratitude to all those who have so kindly extended to us their aid, and again we beg your kind in- dulgence. The Board. Calcnbav. Sunday, June 21st. II A.

These youthful scions, the nation ' s future hope, came from everj ' walk of life ; some bore evidence of having led a .•-trenuous life, but many of them were creatures of indulgence. All had left an old existence and were standing on the threshold of a new life. After the first sensations of novelty had worn off, this throng of boys, wandering aimlessly through the ancient grounds and buildings and rendered desperate by the pangs of homesickness, became reckless, violent and danger, ous ; but the Seven Wise Men, having earnestly deliberated in solemn coun- cil on the new conditions that had ari.sen, finally succeeded in gaining con- trol of these turbulent spirits and established a bond, uniting them in a stable union. The high and the low, the rich and the poor, the wise and the fool- ish, all met on a common plane ; all recognized one law and all sought one goal. Such was the beginning of the Class of ' 03. By virtue of enrolling as students, we assumed the title of Dues with all of its opprobrium ; then our college career began in earnest and we no longer lived in a chimerical world. Stern realities confronted us, and we were compelled to exhibit unparalleled examples of fortitude. During our first session, we discovered nianj ' wonderful things that filled us with astonishment. The arrogant Senior was, to our untutored minds, the exemplar of ideal manhoood ; but intimacy destroyed our admiration, and we removed him from his lofty height to our own level. But nothing t,o in.spired us with awe as the learned doctors, composing the Faculty. These oracular con.servators of wisdom, doling out tons their enigmas of knowl- edge, slightly more intelligible than the mutterings of the Pythia and more ambiguous than the prophetic utterances of the Delphian god, imbued our simple minds with mystic reverence. At the beginning of our second year, we returned, but not as Dues : — they never return — for we had become Sophomores. But alas ! how 21 many familiar faces were absent. This, impressing upon our minds that the chances of a college student ' s success is infinitely small, was an incen- tive that aroused all our latent powers, and for two -ears we labored incessantly. During this period our individuality was developed, our characters were formed, and our destinies were irrevocably fixed. Once more, and for the last time, we came together, but only ten. We came, not as formerly, members of an amalgamated body; but as individual members of a body in which the personality of each member, rather than the characteristics of the class, is prominent. We cannot properly be called a cla.ss for we are representative types of the great classes of men. Among our members are found the optimist and the pessimist, the philosopher and the fool, the statesman and the politician, the educator and the farmer. But for convenience we are organized into a class and called Seniors. As Seniors, we are striving for the precious and much-coveted degree ; but like the will-o ' -the-wisp it evades our grasp, and, by its flickering light, leads us on in pursuit of its alluring enchantments. We are constantly tantalized by the thought that unkind fate may deny us the honor of the success for which we have striven so long. But to fail is not to lose ; and the thought that we are well equipped to enter upon the duties of life is a balm that heals our wounded spirits. We are strong in the consciousness of the power that we have acquired, and of our preparation to go forth in our chosen spheres, whether in the whirlpools of social convulsion or in the eddies of a quiet life. Historian. 22 Senior poem. Across the isle of song, a gentle breeze, Bearing melodious strains wliere ' er it went Played, as on liarps, upon tliL- tuneful trees. With phantom hands, and ever to the music blent Tlie sounds of many waters from whose roar Came the clear voices of the bards of yore. Though devious ways, 1 followed the strange sound Through rocky passes, over cliff and crag, Down meadows where the violets abound ; By marshes bordered with the reed and flag. Where dew-empearled lilies kiss the stream. And wake the water from its placid dream. 1 followed ever where the music led, And wondered at its mystic, magic power ; As sweet the voices at the bards long dead Soothed into sleep all sorrow of the hour. And made the sadne.ss of my soul to cease Till Joy, light-winged, led me on in peace. Followed through fields where gentle pansies grow, And sweetest lilies of the valley bloom : Where ' mid the glossy leaves magnolias blow. And rare carnations waft their rich perfume : Great fields with golden buttercups alight, And daisies like a rolling sea of white. Till I had wandered to an olden cave Mantled by ancient ivy clambering o ' er, From whence the music came, now gay, now grave. Low as a rill, or loud as tempest roar: Till like a symphony it swelled so grand It seemed an ocean dashing on the strand. Then for a time the music ceased, and lo ! Forth from the cave a white-robed maiden rame. She bore within her hand the silver bow Of great Apollo, god of tmieful fame, A wondrous beauty lit her sybil face And to her form there clung a mystic grace. Priestess, I cried, of the Farshooting One ! Sweet Calliope or whate ' er thy name ; Grant me this boon ere yet thy lord shall run To other lands to put the stars to shame; Ere yet upon life ' s weary way I start Teach thou a lesson to my fearful heart. A little band of soldiers yet untried Awaiting but the bugle call of life. Brave as the bravest that have fought and died And ready for the hardship and the strife. Do thou, O priestess, lift thy voice and pray To great Apollo that they win the day. The sybil heard and, speaking, raised her head, Wherefore, O mortal, comest thou to break The pleasant slumbers of the tuneful dead Men long have mocked at song and for my sake They sacrifice no longer as of old, Their lyres are broken; Phoebus fane is cold. Yet since thou comest to the isle of song, Apollo bid ' st the oracle to speak. The message heed, nor e ' er repeat it wrong. Lest on thy head the god his vengeance wreak. Hark! Hark! for I Apollo ' s lyre shall string, ' T is thine to hear and heed what I do sing. Lo ! what a splendor fills the eastern sky : Hark! loud and clear sounds out the bugle call. A soldier band prepared to do and die; To glorious stand or gloriously to fall. Starts like a caravan toward the West, Each with unblemished ' scutcheon on his breast. 24 To thee it is to clioose and act thy part ; To stand a hero or a coward flee: Gird up thy strength and fortify thy heart: Nor carry that which may encumber thee. Thy weapons should he few liut sure and tried, O ' ercome by their own arms brave men have died. If thou pursues! fickle fame, beware: Lest she doth lead thee wliere thou would ' st not go, Nor follow wealth to quagmires of despair: Nor seeking Honor grasp an empty show. Time is too fleet and life too rare a thing To sell it all to hear the Sirens sing. When opportunity shall .speak with whispering voice. And point unto his way unseen before. Up, quickly turn and make a wise one ' s choice ; Else seeking him thou ' It find a fast-locked door. If once thou sleepest through the golden day No power of thine may chase the night away. Remember him of whom the Hebrews tell. Who sought his father ' s wandering ass alone ; But yet on him the Prophet ' s favor fell— He sought an ass but found a kingly throne. So often he who doth the smallest thing For Duty, shall, unknown, be crowned a king. This then I charge thee, ere thou take thy way, Kule, if thou rulest, o ' er the realm of mind; And yet o ' er mind let character hold sway. And place all lesser things, below, behind. So thou more glorious still shall reach the west. While o ' er thee waves unstained the victor ' s crest. Up, then, and with a strong man ' s strength, be strong. Fear not, nor falter on thy chosen way ; Shun, thou, all coward deeds and flee all wrong. But if they come upon thee, up, and slay. I speak for him, God of the silver bow. So ! blessing, I have blessed thee, rise and go. James South.vll Wilson. 25 ' 03 til ' 23: H Ipvopbet ' s IDrcam. ON E night late in vSpring I had been cramming for one of the earlj- examinations, and it was sometime past midnight when I got to bed : a beautiful half-moon was just descending into the West, and its raj ' s fell full upon me. My thoughts drifted to the now fast-approach- ing close of the session, and to tlie members of our class who would then part, some of them possibh- never to meet again. I could but have a feeling of sadness creep over me, but I had also a great curiosity to know in what walks of life and where my several class-mates would be found in the years to come. Gazing at the setting half-moon it seemed to me to symbolize the culmi- nation of the first half of our lives, some fifteen or twenty years hence ; now the first quarter is just ending. Those of us who.se college careers end with this session, will on the last Thursday in June, finish the fir.st quarter of our lives, and when we awake the next morning the second quarter will be facing us. What will it reveal ? What joys and sorrows, rewards and disappointments has it in store for us? Time alone can tell. But it was late and, being tired, nature presently got the best of my thoughts. Falling into a light slumber, my mind was naturally still full of my last waking thoughts. In my sleep the Goddess of Dreams came to me and gave me an invitation to accompany her on a trip, promising me that if I went she would show me where the members of our class of ' 03 would be found in 1923. I need hardly say that I agreed to go. The Goddess was invisible to me, and she threw over my shoulders a cloak which made me also invisible, and gave me the power of sailing through the air at a mar- velous rate of speed. She also gave a peculiar pair of smokj ' -looking glasses, which, when I put them on, gave my eyes the wonderful power of seeing things as they would be twenty years from now. Having put on the glasses the Goddess took me by the hand and led me off. She enjoined upon me to hasten as we would have to be back before 26 the rising sun destroyed the peculiar properties of our cloaks. Our prog- ress was like lightning. The invisible Goddess leading the way, we glided through the air and covered many miles without halting. Our first pause was made almost in the center of our State, in the town of Charlottesville Nor was it the town itself that attracted our attention ; I was led out to the University and there saw many busy people going to and fro. What is the cause of all this gathering? queried I, with the usual inquisitiveness of the human race. Wait, said the God- dess, you shall soon see. We took our way to the chapel, whither most of the crowd was going. Here I had not long to wait to find out the cause of such a gathering, for presently a procession of distinguished men in cap and gown entered and took seats on the rostrum. One arose, and in a few well chosen words introduced to the assembled people James Southall Wil- son, president-elect of the University of Virginia. The words he spoke were few and eloquent, and it was not hard to recognize the Pap of col- lege days. But time was flying ; the Goddess touched my arm and again led me off. We sped along for a few moments, and when next we stopped, the scene was much changed. There was a crowd to be sure, but it showed no signs of being a highly cultured one ; on the other hand it was such as is usually seen in a country district attending couniy court But it did not even have the virtue of being occasioned by the county court — it was the newer circuit court crowd. I wondered why it was so large toda -, but I was told it was onl} ' one week before there would be an election to the State Legislature. The crowd was rather noisy and restless, but all at once this ceased ; someone began to speak, and I recognized the true and only John S. Eastman, who was addressing the voters of .Middlesex and pleading for the election of his favorite candidate to the Legislature. The speech was .short and characteristic, and Billy soon left the stand to move among the crowd, promising an office to this one and future support to another; evidently wire-pulling was still in fashion. Billy of 1903 and Bilh- of 1923 were the same. I gazed a moment, but the scene was soon lost in the distance as I felt myself moving, and for some time I sped through space: then I felt our speed slacken and knew that we were nearing some other place of interest to me. I was not long kept in su.spense, for we were soon moving slowly 27 enough that I could recognize my surroundings. Imagine my surprise at finding myself in such a place ! It had suddenly become very cool ; in fact it seemed that chill November ' s blast had taken the place of lovely May. We were hovering over a great city which lay quietly by the sea. The country, the very atmosphere — everything .seemed changed. Slowly we drifted towards terra finiia, and one of the most imposing buildings I had ever seen. As we were about to enter, I glanced upward and read in the glare of a near-by electric light: THE MELBOURNE TRANSPORTATION . . . AND . . . TRADING COMPANY. E. JORDAN Taylor. ------ President. Then it was that I realized we were in the great Australian metropolis on the other side of the globe. No wonder the atmosphere was cooler than before. Once inside the great building, we were soon in the private office of the president. Charts and maps were scattered everywhere. Several per- sons were in the room, and although I seemed to have had an indistinct recollection of having seen somewhere the name that was on the sign below. I hardly expected to see such a familiar face. A man with a commanding air, evidently the head of the great enterprise, was seated at a desk and the far-awaj- look on his face showed that he was in a deep study. Suddenly he looked up and with a triumphant smile, turned to his private secretary and said: I ' ve n ' lioopcd them up at last ; we ' ll give them Jimmy Jones ' poke now. Then I recognized the speaker as Edward Jordan Ta3 ' lor, for I could never forget the whooper of the class of naught3 ' -three. He had become the Pierpont Morgan of Australia, and was at the head of the ship- ping interests of England ' s greatest colony. He now looked as happy as he did when the manager in mj ' college days, and rode through Senior Latin on a pony, which, by the way, had three other riders. I mentally remarked that it was onlj ' another of Nat ' s schemes — this giant shipping combine which he had managed. But my companion was getting impatient, so leav- ing the ' City by the Sea, we again sped on. 28 This time we were not to go so long before we made a pause ; we had onlj- gone a comparatively short distance when we stopped, and it did not take me a moment to recognize mj ' surroundings ; for who that has spent three years in dear old Williamsburg will ever forget its quaint houses and streets, its general eighteenth centurj ' appearance, and its greatest charm — its fair daughters ? But there was one change that caught my eye— on a prominent lot near the center of the town stood a beautiful new house — no, it would not be a mistake to term it a mansion. Accosting a passer-by I enquired to whom the new house belonged ; his reply hardly surprised me. Three years ' acquaintance and a knowledge of his character and ability made me easily believe it when I was told that the house was the residence of Judge Oscar Lane Shewmake, one of the ' ' Old Dominion ' s ' ' youngest yet most distinguished lawyers. Nor was I one whit surprised at his choice of Williamsburg as the field of his work ; it is a place of attraction to all, but to some in a much greater degree than others, among the latter being Boots. I was in no hurry at all to leave Ye Ancient Capital, for it always had been a place of great charms to me, but my companion was my leader and her orders I had to obey, so off we went. The time before stopping again was quite long, and I felt sure that Old Virginia had been left far behind. In this I was not mistaken for soon I found myself in the metropolis of our country. Broadway was thronged, and we threaded our way but slowly through the maze of people moving one way or the other, every one .seemingly intent on some impor- tant business. We did not go very far before we entered the door of a large building, a skyscraper, yet more solid looking than most of its kind. Only a glance was needed to see that it was occupied by some rich and im- portant business concern. We went up a broad flight of stairs and on the second floor entered through a door marked Office of the Editor and Pro- prietor, into a beautifully fitted-ui3 office at the further end of which was a man seated at a desk dictating rapidly to a young ladj ' stenographer seated near him. He continued this for a few minutes until he had finished, when he got up and going over to a pile of papers picked up one pre- paratory to reading it. But before doing .so he took from his desk a pair of spectacles, and when they were placed on his nose there could be no mistake — even the addition of a heavy growth of beard and a more abundant sprinkling of gray had not entirely changed John N. Duni- 29 viii, formerly editor-in-chief of the Colonial I ' Xiio, but now editor-in-chief of the American Star, New York ' s greatest and yellowest daily. But the look that came over Nick ' s face as he read was one first of startled interest, then of pain, and then of relief. What could it be that interested and pained him so ? Yielding to my curiositj ' I picked up a near-by copy of the 5 rtr and began to read : A Frightful Explosion. Such articles one reads out of morbid curiosit} and I had not to read very far to .see what had caused the look on Nick ' s face ; the news of the explosion was from an insignificant little place outside of Washington in the District of Columbia, where the government conducted experiments with new combustibles, shells, guns and other munitions of war. One of these experiments had been car- ried on at considerable expense in time and money, and great things had been expected to result therefrom. But the explosion had completely shat- tered all hope for results of any importance fur .some time — and this explo- sive had been expected to supplant, in the approaching war with Germany, liddyte, gun cotton, and various other powerful explosives, on account of its greater destructive power and its cheapness. But it was not the loss to the government that had distre.ssed Nick ; I read further that the explosion had resulted in the death of several men and injury of many others, among the latter being the inventing chemist himself ; and he was none other than our one-time Science Instructor, Earle E. Stacy ! What an untimely acci- dent for such a distinguished and useful man ! but the paper went on further to say that his inability to carry on his work would only be temporary ; his injuries while serious were not fatal. But time was not waiting for us, so we had to move on again. Our course this time was shorter and we were .soon again in a city, but one very different from that we had just left. There was not the strenuous ru.sh and .scramble to be seen in Washington as in New York, for long before 1923 the country had tired of Roosevelt strenuo.sity and had allowed Wa.shington to become quiet again under the administration of a Southern President. But the quiet was all the more noticeable on this occasion, because it was Sunday. Everyone was on his way to some one of the many churches of the city, but the greatest crowd seemed to be going towards the beautiful Episcopal Cathedral. But why, .said I, such an especially large crowd to- day? for I knew nothing to attract so many people from their accustomed places of worship. But I did not have long to wait ; going with the crowd 30 I soon found myself in the Cathedral ; it was the finest building of the kind that I had ever been in, and I was filled with awe by its majestic grandeur. I was still wondering who was going to speak when I overheard someone say something about the Bishop of Central Africa, and just then he entered. Who was it? Well it is needless to answer, for the only member of the Class of ' 03 who ever aspired to the ministry was W. Arthur Maddox ; his being a native of Washington helped to account for the large crowd. The sermon was eloquent and forceful, and I felt sure that our Maddox of 1903 had reached the height of his ambition. While Maddox ' s name and face were in my consciousness, I could but wonder if he found the African food as indigestible as College Hotel fare; but considering his portly size, I was sure that he, at least, had enough to eat. While leaving the Cathedral I overheard .someone remark that to raise money for mission work was not alone the cause of Maddox ' s presence in Washington ; where one had come over the ocean from Africa, two would return. But Washington, attractive as it is, had to be left, for we had to hasten and finish our trip This time our course lay South and we had not been moving very long when we stopped ; I found myself in a valley between two spurs of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and near by was a small frame build- ing. It did not need a very close or lengthy observation for me to see that it was a school house — one of the old nineteenth century type. It was not yet school time, but several children of various ages were standing around engaged in talk or some game of olden times. I gazed on the sight — the poor school house, the small number of children, and the wretched and dreary surroundings — and I could but think of how Professor Bird ' s Peda- gogy lectures of twenty years ago would, if put into practice, change the whole tone of the place. I was disturbed from my reverie by the voice of one of the children who announced, in a tone of voice suggestive of fear, the approach of the teacher. I looked in the same direction as the children were looking, and saw coming up the road a well known form, the walk having betrayed the owner. When we were at college together in 1903 who would have thought of E. F. Birckhead as teaching school for twenty years ? Yet the unexpected will .sometimes happen. But we could not stand longer, so we were soon once more .speeding along, still keeping in the mountain country ; it was not so very long before 31 we stopped, and I at once saw that we were near some summer resort. It was indeed so, and as it was such a lovely day many of the visitors were out driving or riding. Beautiful women and handsome men were to be seen at almost every turn, and many of the equipages showed the owners to be per- .sons of considerable wealth. I was soon attracted by an especially handsome carriage and pair of horses to be seen approaching not very far off. When it had come nearer, the occupants of the carriage also attracted my attention: the man was extremely handsome and beside him sat a beautiful dark-eyed, black-haired woman. The faces of each had a somewhat familiar look and when I heard some one say, There goes Senator Parsons, I was aston- ished at not having sooner recognized my class-mate, V. C. Parsons. I was told that he had made quite a large fortune off a corner of the sweet potato market, and afterwards had been elected to the United States Senate as the candidate of the new American party. But there was a third occu- pant of the carriage who attracted my attention; he was a boy some twelve years of age, undoubtedly destined to become his father ' s double in a few years. Again we could no longer delay ; our journey was complete, and my companion had only to guide me safely home. It only took a short time, and I was extending my hand to the Goddess to thank her and bid her good- bye, when the moving of my arm aroused me — I had been dreaming. I sat up in bed and rubbed my eyes ; then I began to vigorously pinch myself. But the dream was gone — I was in my room and the moon was no longer in sight. ' Twas almost time to get up and get to work again. I ran over in my mind what I had just seen in my sleep, and heartily wished that a majority of the scenes witnessed might indeed some day come to pass. For some I wished better luck, since every one of the Class of ' 03 deserves a large share of good fortune. Among us there may be no Washingtons, Lees, Shakespeares, Ten- nysons, or Roosevelts, but I know that in whatsoever walk of life a naughty-three is found, he will do full credit to himself, his country, his college, and his class. The task of the prophet has indeed been a pleasant one, and in bidding his class farewell, he not only prophe- sies, but earnestly hopes and expects a brilliant future for each of his nine class-mates.

To chronicle the achievements of the Class of ' 04, and do it justice, is indeed a task that would tax the brain of one more versed in the historian ' s art than myself, yet it is with a great deal of pleasure that I find myself beckoning to fond reminiscences and endeavoring to recall some of the illustrious deeds that fate decreed should ever remain as a mon- ument to commemorate the name of this most wonderful assemblage, the class of naughty four. In the fall of nineteen hundred, we made our debut in the College of William and Mary, and from our appearance, we were indeed from climes most rustic, and too, were somewhat frightened, having come up with some upper class-men who had pictured A Due ' s First Night in College so vividly, that the thought of its being so near was anything else but conilort- ing. However, it came, and the prophetic utterances of the morning were realized to the letter. Our .second year has arrived and we aie once more strolling listlessly about the campus, but our feelings and sensations are entirely different from what they were when we first arrived as Dues. The people of ' ' Ye Ancient Capital ' ' had tendered us such extreme kindness during the past year that it was with a great deal of pleasure we realized that we were once again in their inid.st. And too, we had by this time become so imbued with college spirit that we were all eager to again enter the arena of college life. It was but a short time after we had taken up our residence in that great triumvirate of buildings, Brafferton, Taliaferro a d Ewell, before we began to plan for a campaign against the Dues, and especially against those obstreperous ones who had the audacity to assert that the Sopho- mores should in no way molest them. Of course it was our duty to retaliate to some extent for what we had been forced to suffer when we were Dues, but in reality we had their future welfare at heart, for if we had let them gone free, what embarrassment and humiliation they must necessa- 36 rilj ' have suffered tliroupjh ignorance when it came their turn to initiate the new recruits. Tliere were many depredations committed, as the raiding of the pantry, etc., but the faculty said they were confident none of the Sophomores were implicated, for a more di inely innocent looking set they had never seen. We were represented in every department of the college. Our members of the literary societies always acquitted themselves with credit, and the professors also claimed that there were in our midst some curlers. We were very noticeably connected with the Y. M. C. A., some of our members being: Mason, who was sent as a representative of the association to Toronto, Canada ; Lawrence, the Superintendent of the Hrnton Church Sunday- school ' ; Bishop Vaughan, she pherd of the Vorktown flock, and many others. So, no wonder we are the most pious class in the remembrance of the Faculty ! Upon the gridiron, too, we were well represented, having .some of the stars of the first team, and when it came to the intercollegiate contest, we were easily champions. We are entering upon the third year of our .sojourn ' neath the classic shades of Ye Ancient College and we are indeed glad to be back; yet with sadness we note the change a few short months hath wrought. Our joy is somewhat tempered with sadness, for so many of our class are gone, and of those with whom we entered, there are but few left. This season we have been more successful in athletics than ever before, having five stars in the football team, Summers, Hall, Dade, Crim and Blackiston, the latter our worthy president ; and while our class team was not as successful as the year before, yet we retained possession of the cup by twice tying our opponents, the Sophomores. In one particular only are we more deficient than in former years, and that is, in the cut of sporting calico. Though we have no typical calico sport, yet many of us are at times susceptible to the charms of the fair sex. The finals are nearly here and with them comes the separation — a sep- aration not only from the dear associations that cluster around the name of old William and Mary, but also, a severing of those ties that have bound us together during our college career. They have grown upon us, as it were, in the night, and we have been oblivious of their presence until now when 37 We are about to part, possibly forever, who knows? Thus it is, we are able to appreciate their true worth, and realize how rich were our possessions. I do not mean to assume the role of a prophet, but in conclusion will say in football parlance, that we intend to head for goal and if possible score a touchdown. And who know.s l)ut in years to come another Jeffer- son may grace the Presidential chair, and by the little bow of orange and blue upon his coat be recognized as a member of the class of Naughty-four.

WE again make our appearance, not as noisy, boisterous Dues, but as grave and dignified Juniors In attempting to write the history of the Class of ' 05 we feel ourselves altogether uinvorihy of so great a task, for no history, however good it may be, will portray the life, the aims, the defeats and the victories of a class, but we will endeavor to give a short account of how we came to our present position in college affairs. Last year we came to ' ye ancient and historic city of Williamsburg and entered upon our duties as students in the famous and renowned old College of William and Mary. At first many of us were homesick and lonely and longed to return once more to our dear ones at home ; but soon the sad feeling left our hearts, for the kindness of everyone made us feel at honje again. Time passed swiftly, the intermediate examinations were soon over and it seemed only a little while before the .session was drawing to a close, then we began to realize that we would soon be Juniors, and, oh ! how happy we felt. Now our second year is almost over and we feel justly proud of our numerous intellectual and athletic victories. Almost all of us have been taking an active part in the Literary Societies, and last year we were suc- cessful in carrying off one improvement medal in each society. In football the Juniors are represented by Shack, Mac, Carson, Bowen, Hening and McGehee, all of whom are good players. The Juniors also put out an excellent class team, which was due chiefly to the fine train- ing given them by our classmate Carson. We defeated the Dues in a well played game by a large score, and after playing two hotly contested games with the Intermediates, during which neither team was able to score, the championship was compromised by allowing the picture of both teams to go in the Annual. 43 On tlie diamond we are also well represented bj- Lloyd, Knight, Billy Weymouth and Hening, all of whom are playing their positions well. We have also elected Curry as our manager, and are now organizing a strong class team, with which we hope to he able to win the class championship. We have learned a great many things since we came to college, and now- we do not faint and swoon away wiien our Math professor tells us that the tangent of an angle is equal to the sine divided by the cosine. In closing the history of the Class of ' 05, I could say much more con- cerning each member, but I feel it altogether unnecessary as the students and the professors know that we have endeavored to perform our duties in an honest and conscientious manner, and if we have failed, it was no fault of ours. Wheresoever j ' ou maj- go, you will find our class well represented, and in some future time, perhaps, many of us will hold positions of honor to our College, to ourselves and to our dear old State.

IT was the belief just a few years ag o, that in order for us to be made famous in the aimals of history we must join tlie army, be commander- in-chief in some large battle, and win a great victory. There has been a great change in recent years, and that the Dues of ' 02 and ' 03 are to have a history is now an evident fact. This is to be placed in the Annual also, where the public may read about us without our having accomplished the daring deeds of an Alexander or a Haiuiibal. The session of ' 02 and ' 03 opened with about seventA ' -five Dues amid the ranks, and it is useless for me to eulogize their abilities or their good looks. We did not accomplish much during the trying ordeals of the first week, neither did the unusual palpitations of our hearts cease to exist. When fiery Phoebus ' light had ceased to send forth its silvery rays, and the black shroud of night had been drawn over us, our bustling noise of the day would be hushed into profound silence, and we would often lay with listening ears to catch the melodious strains of music that were being produced by some of our number who were so unfortunate as to be lodging in the Elwell or Talia- ferro. We are not expert calico sports, although Big Hozier, Roper, Dunford, Wagner, Taylor, and Little Hozier claim that their calico ticket is both pleasing and attractive. On the gridiron we are very well represented, as Johnson, Roper, and Dunford played on the first team. Then in the class game, although we met with a Waterloo at the hands of the Juniors, it would be criminal not to mention the names of Bully Jett, Shorty Jones, Persie Counsel- man, and Johnnie Long, as star players on the Due team. On the diamond we are very well represented, too, as Roper, Johnson, and Counselman are all good players on the first team. When the long-wished-for Christmas holiday rolled around, most of us Dues bade adieu to Ye Ancient Capital for a few days. We wanted 50 to see iiiaiTima, and also that piece of our hearts we had left behind — Sweet- heart. On returning we got right down to work, with nothing on our minds except our examinations, which were then almost two months ahead. There is a probability of E. M. Jett getting the lecture cutter ' s medal this year, although Woodard will not be found very far in the rear when the contest closes. In the literary societies, the Dues have played an important part; they have won the flattering reputation of being good speakers, and in order to convince you that they have been doing something, I need but to tell you that several of the final men are Dues. That stage of college life in which we are to be known as Dues is now drawing to a close, and as the thoughts of our examinations are now looming up in front of us again, we will have to bid you adieu, but before doing so we wish to pay a word of tribute to the class. We feel that we have written about a class of young men who will not only gain honors and triumphant success during their college life, but who will in after years ever be found ready to espouse the cause of this beloved old Commonwealth of ours. So we now bid you adieu, and promise you that when we have next made our appearance on the arena of history that instead of noisy Dues we will be Juniors. J. N.

THE session of 1902-03 will be marked as a banner year at William and Mary for the birth of a truer college spirit than it has ever known before. It is in athletics that this is most plainly seen ; for while our teams have not achieved great and unusual victories, yet they have been placed upon a firmer and stronger basis than hitherto, and never have prep- arations for the coming year been carried out with as great interest and zeal as this session. A striking leature of all the games that have been played on our own grounds, has been the interest which every student has shown in the games and the splendid rooting that our boys have done. The football team, under the management of E. Jordan Taylor, and with O. E. Shewmake as captain, was luider the great disadvantage of not hav- ing any trainer ; however, they got together, and by hard work and excellent individual playing, accomplished as much as could be expected under such circumstances. Every one familiar with the game knows that no matter how athletic and strong a set of men m;iy be, they can not attain great success unless they have a well experienced hand to guide them, and that often superior teams go down in defeat at the hands of inferior ones because of the lack of a trainer. This has been our case in the past, but we are glad to say that at the coming session this evil will be remedied. In our class contests the Juniors and Intermediates tied for the championship in two successive games, neither side being able to .score. The baseball team began the sea.son in unusually good shape, under the management of W. T. Hodges; T. P. Spencer, captain. On account of various difficulties in the beginning of the season, which rendered it uncer- tain whether we would put a team in the field, our schedule was neither so large nor so good as we would desire. The games played on our own grounds showed evidence of excellent team work, especially the one with Richmond Academy, which was an errorless game. The games w ith Richmond and Randolph-Macon Colleges were played on their respective grounds ; a return game with Randolph- Macon was called off on account of rain. 55 It is too early for us to be able to give any account of the field-day ex- ercises, since thej have not occurred. Our instructor, Mr. W. J. King, has a good team in training and we do not doubt that the results will be worthy of his labors. The prospects for athletics for the coming .session are most encouraging. Mr. J. A. Carson, whose ability has been proven in other lines, will be man- ager of the football team, and S. C. Blackiston, captain. We have .secured the services of Mr. F. L. Foust captain of the I iiiversity of North Carolina team, and captain of the all-Southern team, for coach. We are expecting nine of the this ear ' s eleven to return next year, and with a large number of promising men on the second team, we look forward to a team next session surpassing any that old William and Mary has ever put upon the field.

WHEN a young man first enters college, he stands upon the very threshold of life. Although he, most probably, does not realize it, he has reached the parting of the ways, for the first few months of his college career determine what he is to be in college, and what a man is at college, he will continue to be throughout life. It is owing to this fact that the Y. M. C. A. is one of the most promising factors in Christian work to-day. When the young man leaves home and its influences, and for the first time faces the cold world alone, it is indeed a trying time. Without the guiding hand of a father or the loving advice of a mother, he is very liable to yield to temptation. But the Y. M. C. A. affords a means of escape. Here he may meet the Christian students who are ever ready to assist him in becoming adjusted to his new surroundings and in whatsoever other ways they can. In fact, the Christian Association is the only thing that ap- proaches a substitute for the home influence. At the opening of the session last October, we were handicapped by the loss of some of our most faithful men. But those who did return began work in earnest and our roll was .soon increased to its usual length. The different departments were well organized, and everything was soon placed in good working order. In this preliminarj ' work, the Bible Study and Membership Committees were especially successful. Under the supervision of Dr. Bishop, the Temperance and White Cross Unions were organized with a larger membership in each than usual. During the Week of Prayer, we were fortunate enough to have Rev. C. P. William.son, of Richmond, an honored alumnus of William and Mary, as leader. By his frank, open-hearted demeanor, Mr. Williamson quickly won the esteem and confidence of the student body, and the spiritual life of the college was very much deepened as a result of his work among us. Several men were led to accept Christ as their Saviour at these meetings. 73 Nothing strengthens a Y. M. C. A. so much as contact with other associations and association men at the various conventions. We were especially fortunate this year in that the State Convention met in Newport News, only a short distance from us. Taking advantage of this fact, we sent twenty-seven delegates — the largest number of representatives sent bj- any college association. Among them were some of the strongest men in college, and all classes from the Freshm an to the Senior were represented. The result of sending so many earnest men to this convention has been very uplifting, not only to the V. M. C. A., but also to the moral and religious life of the whole institution. Although there is not the slightest reason why it should be so, there is an alarming ignorance of the Bible among the men of to-day, but there is no longer any excuse for this state of affairs on the part of the college man. With the splendid course in Bible Study arranged by the International Com- mittee, every one who spends several sessions at college may have a very good knowledge of the Book of Books, if he will only take advantage of the opportunities afforded him. We are glad that quite a number of our students are becoming interested in this great work. Our Bible classes this year have been larger and better attended than usual. We have all three classes, ' ' Life of Christ, Studies in the Acts and Epistles, and Old Testament Charac- ters, with a total enrolment of about thirt} ' members. During the latter part of April we had a short but very successful revival, led by Mr. J. E. Hubbard, the State College vSecretary. Although it was in progress only three days, several men announced it as their inten- tion to live for the Master. One of the most pleasant and helpful features of our Y. M. C. A. has been Dr. Bishop ' s Friday night lectures. For years it has been his custom to address the students every Friday night on some phase of practical Christianity, but lately his health gave way to such an extent that his physician advised him to give up this work. Only those who know Dr. Bishop intimately can realize what pain this caused him. Always read} ' to bring a message from God, he took the keenest delight in these services, and it was only with great reluctance that he finallj ' yielded to his physi- cian ' s advice. We regret very much that this has been necessary, for if there was any one part of the association services that we enjoyed most, it was the Fridaj ' night lecture. Never did we fail to receive strength and 74 inspiration from them, and we realize fully how very beneficial they were only since they have been suspended. We trust that Dr. Bishop ' s health may be fully restored very soon. Each of the pastors of the town has kindly consented to conduct the service for us one Friday night each month, for which we are deeply grateful to them. The Asheville Conference is soon to be held, and it is of supreme impor- tance to every association to be represented. At this gathering men are trained to conduct the Bible classes the following year. Messrs. J. N. Hillman and H. Blankenship have been selected as our representatives this year. Although this is their first session at college, they are two of our most prominent and faithful workers, and we feel that the Cabinet could not have made better selections. iSflt t. .M- S!!Siim ts •w 75 Xanocluci. I Raze across tlie lonely lea, — Across the shady dell : And far away is the surging sea, With its ever bounding swell. And from afar there comes to greet My ears with music, wondrous sweet — The sound of the sunset bell. The radiant sun has said good night. .And its halo faintly gleams, The darkening heavens catch the light Of the fading golden beams, ( .ood night, say all the dew-gemmed flowers, Birds hasten to their .sheltered bowers. As the bells ring out, good night. The sighing wind comes stealing by. With its weary, mournful sound, And rustles ' mid the leaves that lie Scattered upon the ground. The peasant on his homeward way Heeds the bell and stops to pray. As he hears the holy sound. -All nature seems to be at rest ; As daylight fades from sight A few faint gleams come from the West, Like a halo fair and bright. The last faint notes of the sunset bell Float o ' er the land in a sad farewell : And the echo says, good night. J. Will Go.ssm. n. 76 COLONIAL ECHO STAFF.

Semper ll em. In days now ciini and distant In this ancient Commonweal, There was once a Royall CoUedge Chartered, neath the Royall Seale. And we students often wonder, Looking backward through time ' s haze, If we think at all as they thought In the Old Colonial Days. But the ancient records tell us. In language quaint and staid. Of a student in the olden days Who met a little maid And straightway went and lost his heart, Which shows us that our ways In some respects are like those Of the Old Colonial Days. And when spring came with its blossoms And his college days were o ' er He asked the maid a question That he ' d often asked before. And in Bruton Church a wedding was; Which the old church record says Has been known to happen often Since the Old Colonial Days. l ' envoi. The hearts of lads and lassies Change not with their outward ways. And we love to-day as they did In the Old Colonial Days. O. L. Shewm. ke. 86 Zbc pbi Beta Ikappa Society. THK Phi Beta Kappa Society is the only association in America that binds together literary men in a bond of literary fellowship and brotherhood. Though its chapters are situated in colleges and uni- versities, its bond of union is practically without limit. A member of this society is presumably a man of literary tastes and of scholastic attainments, and the wearing of the starry key gives one an entree into literary circles all over the country. Thos. Nelson Page regarded his election at William and Mary as the highest academic honor ever bestowed upon him. This old society was born at William and Mary College, December 5, 1776. Among its earlj ' members were Bushrod Washington, the eminent jurist; Wm. Short, the distinguished diplomatist, and Chief Ju.stice John Marshall. Its early members were so prominent in the period of the Revo- lution as to give the Society enormous prestige. In 1779, William and Mary voted charters to Harvard and Yale, and the chapters established thereafter have had a distinguished and almost con- tinuous career at these two institutions. There are now about fifty-five chapters, and several famous institutions are applying for charters. The aid of the mother chapter is asked by many of the most famous colleges and universities, and she is highly honored in the Senate and in the Triennial Council of the Society. Phi Beta Kappa does not iu any .sense compete with college fraternities, or antagonize them. This is especially true at William and Mary, where the election is used mostly as an honor to be conferred upon men of literary or of scientific tastes, in recognition of their abilities. A few recent students have been elected on account of their literary promise. It is an honor to which any student may well aspire, and is conferred solely on account of character and attainments. In proportion to members the mother chapter has more distinguished members than any on the roster of the Society. She has enough historians, genealogists, writers, and poets to make her friends proud of her present status. 88 T.P SPENCER. KAPPA SIGMA. 1f appa Sionia jFvatcinit !. IWu (Ibaptcr.

Dear little girl of tli e long ago, Peering out of a picture frame, With flaxen curls and cheeks aglow, Where the roses of unblighted youth are aflame; Come, tell me, sweet. Did you ever meet Dan Cupid out on a summer ' s morn ? Was he lying low With his arrow and bow A-liiding from you in the fields of corn? There now, little maid, don ' t look so shy : You ' 11 forget your old sweetheart in days to be, And the tears on your cheek for his loss shall be dry. Ere the Prince of your purple-hued dreams you shall see. Ah ! then you will lay Aside dollies and play. For the dream you have dreamed is no longer a dream, And your life shall flow on From morn until morn. Like the blithesome song of a babbling stream. Vet, dear little girl of the long ago. As your face comes over the long, sad years, To me, little maid, who loves you so. You seem to smile through a mist of tears. With a touch of the grace Of your older face When Life had battled with Youth and won; For the grasping years Left only tears When the dream was ended ; the glad song done. J. S. Wilson. 107 H 3iinc 1l n. The rumbling wagon rattles down the road: The noisy shouts of schoolboys die away : The languorous leisure of the long June day Drags slowly on, as down the public way The lazy oxen bear their heavy load. And is this peace, this empty silence here? This languid waiting, vacant of an aim ? When every hour drags on so near the same And earth seems reft of life, and love, and fame, And yet too dead for a regretful tear ? But hush I a whisper seems to steal along And starts the sleeping sound to life again. A caitiff crow flies, cawing, o ' er the lane : And hark ! mid music of the unheralded rain A mocking-bird awakes the world with song loS J. MES S. Wilson. E)iamatic Club. ©fficcii?. J. W.

' T is New Year ' s eve and I sit alone By the fire in my college room, And the clouds hang low o ' er the fields ol snow, And add to the gath ' ring gloom. I blow smoke-rings at the ceiling old. As the fire in the grate burns low, And there come from out of the North Wind cold Faint echoes of long ago. And my thoughts go back as I sit alone And watch the dying year To the student, who many years agone, To that young cavalier In ruffles and hose and buckles fine. Dress-sword and jewelled ring. As he drank a toast in the good red wine, To the King! Long live the King! The echoes come faint down the ancient hall As their glasses clink together, And the candle ' s light dispels the night. And the great log fire, the weather. And I wonder if we who are ruled to-day By a trust, a Boss, or a Ring, Are happier than those students gay Who drank to the health of tlie King. My pipe is out and my dream is o ' er, The fire is burning low ; The wind dies down and mocks no more The sounds of long ago. But this little thought came to my mind As I blew the last smoke-ring. If a man ' s a man his reward he ' 11 find. No matter who is the King. O. L. Shew.make. Ii8 Calico Club. ORGANIZED 1693. otto. Greet. Our only books are woman ' s looks. A heart, broken. ©fficcrs. M.

SUGGESTED BY BEETHOVEN ' S NINTH SYMPHONY. l it-iii Delivt-red Ht-foii- lilt- A lf Jia Clui filer of Phi licla Kaffia. l- ' iiniiaiv lolh. igoj, by R. T. ir. Dulcfjr. At lialiel, ill old time, was one, tliey say, Who felt with keener anguish every day, The loss of man ' s one brotherhood of speech. And sought with heavy soul some way to reach The hear ' s of those who knew his words no more. One day whilst labouring in the heavy ore — For he was born of Tubal Cain ' s descent — He paused and on his rude, rough anvil leant, And listened to some girls who crooned above In a new language the old tale of love. Straightway he raised his arm, the bellows blew. The iron soon into a white heat grew. And deftly mingling in the glowing mass Bright rods of steel and tubes of sounding brass. He forged a strange, unwieldy instrument. Then smote it with his hand and o ' er it bent To catch the first dull notes that from it crept, And music woke that hitherto had slept. Ere long by degrees perfected grew His power to blend the chords and to renew Lost notes, until with subtle skill he caught All the sweet music that the woodlands taught. And all the glorious melody that lies In the lark ' s earliest matin to the skies : And then at last he had beneath control The hidden music of the human soul. Thenceforth all languages came within his range, And though the speech of men seemed harsh and strange. He liade them listen and each listener heard Soft sounds that old familiar mem ' ries stirred, 121 The song of birds, the ripple of the stream, Ami like a half rcmeml:)ered dreamt-of dream, The cradle song that tirst his mother sung Kach seemed to hear in liis own native tongue. Oh ! Poet of sweet sounds, beyond control Ciod placed all hearing, save within thy soul. Yet gave power through harmony to reach The hidden fountain of all human speech; In thy deep swelling, soft melodious chords. Thy symphonies that speak, yet have no words. One common language doth each listener hear — What need of words when meaning is so clear ? Speech is but thought ' s expression- never thought Came from the soul with so much meaning fraught. Ah! deathless singer, hearing not in Time, Heaven ' s door was opened and its song sublime Broke on thy ear, whilst thou didst catch the key Of the grand music of eternity. Lost may be earthly sound, but given The power to hear the harmony of heaven, The one sweet language that beyond all pain Shall make mankind a brotherhood again. 122 kvV WV. _2_o_2. on iRotto.

A sailor, a sailor, a sailor, 1, A sailor of the sea ; A sailor, a sailor ' s your own true love. So come, my darling, with me. I live by the leave of the billows white, That hold my life in their care ; They Iceep me by day, and rock, me at night, So come and my little bark share. A sailor ' s own bark is a sailor ' s love. But he loves his sweetheart, too. And whene ' er he draws the harbouring cove He thinks of his darling true. So come, my darling, together we sail Life ' s white-foamed, billowy sea ; In tempest or sunshine ; in calm or in gale. Trust ever the vessel to me. A. R. MACKRETH. 126 iFire Department IBotto.

Low sinks the sun and leaves the world to rest ; The sky has paled into a somber gray, The ruddy glow that lit the burning west Has faded like an old man ' s dream away. The chill of death, and death itself is here; For Night has slain his royal brother, Day. Two giant Shadows lower his cloud-hung bier, And bear it o ' er the western hills away. Then in his regal power the conqueror Night, With land and ocean, sky and air his own, With crescent diadem and stars bedight, Usurps his brother ' s scepter and his throne. J. S. WILSON. 12S Rotto.

Sometimes we look up, in tlie midst of our musing, At the beautiful stars in the peace overhead ; And believe they were set far away in the spaces To shine as a sign of the souls that have fled. And oft in our yearning for friends who have left us, We look at the light of the old milky-way ; And think that perhaps ' tis the path unto glory. Along which the angels are wending their way. When, at night, we lie down but to weep o ' er the pillow, And visions come back through that desolate door. And the dear ones now dead are before us in fancy, — ' Tis a picture of peace on a passionless shore. Oh, Father, whate ' er be the truth of such fancies, Teach us to love them while the long ages roll; For they come to our hearts like the rain to the roses, And soothe with the fragrance they bring to the soul.
