I 8 | GREETINGS. THE Fifth Volume of THE COLONIAL ECHO is before you, with our best wishes. We ask that you may bear with us in the errors we may have unintentionally made, and ask that you kindly consider the many obstacles that stood in our way, and the stren- uous efforts we have put forth to make this little volume pleasing to you. It has been our aim to present to you, in this little book, every phase of college life. If we have failed to do this in anything, it is merely an oversight on our part. In after years you may perchance take this little volume from its dusty hiding-place, and in scanning its pages it will bring back to you a feeling of pleasures and delightful reminiscences of the past. It is our desire to express our deep gratitude to the Hoard of Visitors and Baron de Launey for the valuable assistance rendered us, and also to the students for their loyal support.

XT is with mingled feelings of pleasure and reluctance thai your scri i up his pen and addresses himself to the i nentous task of writing the historj iif the Senior Class of L905; for, while it is a pleasure to look hack upon and record our greal deeds of the past, yet, in a class so large and so illustrious, the task of the historian must necessarily be an incomplete one, - to record individually the history of these distinguished sons of America would be impossible in the shorl -pan ' and time allotted to him. So your present historian will have to content himself by touching only upon the mure importani facts in our history, and leave the completion and perfection of his task to the future and more capable historian. Ii was on a bright October morning, a g I many year- ago (a you have doubtless observed) that we arrived in the city of Williamsburg. The weather was still quite warm, and though ii was the time of the last rose of summer, all nature bore the unmistakable -lamp of the good old summer time, and ye ancient capitol was, I presume, looking her best. As we alighted from the train and caught our first glimpse of the city, about which we had read so much in our histories, we began to think that we were the victims of a joke, and that the conductor had landed us in a portion of the country that Columbus had purposely overlooked, but as we walked up the streets, and beheld on every side the moulding ruins of so many places Eamous and sacred in the annals of our history, we became convinced thai we had arrived at the right place. Doubly assured were we of this fact, when, on arriving ai the end of Duke of Gloucester Street, we beheld the old College, in front of which stood the majestic figure of our ancient friend. Botetourt, who seemed to he beckoning us to enter within the sacred portal.-, and drink of the fountain of knowledge from which Jefferson and scores of other distinguished sons of America had drunk in the great past. The Due Class, in which this stately and august body had its humble Ii. ginning, was, as you may guess, quite a heterogeneous mass, and represented nearly every known specimen of humanity. Among us could be found the stately peda- gogue, who. having disposed of his meagre store of knowledge, had come to College to replenish his stock; the farmer hoy. whose action- were sufficient proof of the fact that he was one of the greenest productions that hi- father had ever -hipped: and another class whose furrowed cheek and shining foretop bore testimony to the fact that they, like I ' once de Leon, had come searching for the fountain of youth. For a while the novelty of our new life delighted us, hut soon came that awful feeling of isolation, known as homesickness, which was not in the least alleviated by the midnight visit- of the old boys, who. having given us ample opportunity to display our abilities along various line-, departed, leaving upon us impressions of the mosl lasting nature. To our yet untutored mind- the wonderful ami seem- r 22 inglj Inexhaustible store of knowledge, wnich the seven wise men possessed and the wisdom of the lordly Senior were the deepesl of mysteries, but before the end of our first year these mysteries had become as Eamiliar to us as the mysteries surrounding the right angle triangle and Cassar ' s strategic movements during the Gallic war. The next year we returned, no longer as Dues, but now as Sophomores, and the absence of many familiar faces revealed the fad thai there was no royal road to education, and that many of our number had fallen in the Slough of Despond, and turned back. So each succeeding year has marked a decrease in our number, and of thai greal host which began, iil eighteen have scaled the steep and thorny heights which lead to the much-coveted A. ! ' .. and ran now. as heroes, look down in sympathy upon our lower class-men and struggling humanity, and cr oui in our wisdom, Labor omnia vincit. A good many of our number have already become famous. In fact, iheiv i- scarcely a one of us who ha.- not distinguished himself in some phase of college life. Among our number may lie found heroes of the gridiron ami the diamond; poet®, orators, statesmen, politicians : members of the Eater ' s Club, members of the Liar ' s League, members of the Bachelor ' s Club, members of the Baldhead Club, members of the Calico Club, ami so on. iiil infinitum. In politic.-, those of us who are not too old to vote arc Puritan-pure prohibitionists, ami as such will supporl Judge Mann hi certain condition-. We are also firm believers in expansion, ami would advise Uncle Sam to devour everything in sight, excepl Japan, which migh! probably overtax his digestion. But probably one of the most remarkable facts about our class is that all of us, with the exception of one. have thus far successfully eluded the .-haft of Cupid, hut in obedience to the President ' s request, I shall not mention the names id ' this worthy disciple and victim of Cupid. We have found that ye ancient capital. like her fair maiden.-, improves on acquaintance, and our advice to those who arc mentally defective in any way would he to come to Williamsburg. The historian would here fain dip his pen in the ink again, and. guided by our brilliant past, prophesy for us a still greater future, Inn our future is with our prophet. .My task is done, ami as the curtain fall- u| this, the lasl scene of the lir.-l act in the drama of life, we turn to pay a parting tribute to our dear alma mater ami. as we cast our last lingering look upon scenes around which cluster so many happy memories and pleasant associations, inadvertently the ' re -teal- from our lip- the parting words of the poel : Farewell! a went that must lie. ami hath lioen — A sound which makes u- linger; — yet — farewell! 23 SENIOR CLASS POEM. XI i; K AM Kl) one night in joyous balm] June, 1 beneath i he i l- ni ■!!— silver n Phantoms passed within the shadows of tin- trees, MM winged elves 1 1 « bj with every breeze. All was silent, save from yonder wood, When r 1 1 . 1 1 1 .i •_; ia in oak. so stalwart, si I. There ea me t he ow let ' s weird, ominous i i Mid the pine-tree ' s moan and wear] sigh. Ml was silent, save from yonder « I There tame the pini tree ' s moan, the owlet ' s weird cry. Before we passed a living, rushing stream, Looking ghastly in Diana ' s yellow gleam, Rushing ever on with ne ' er a pause, Struggling as for some immortal cause. The stream of mortals never ceased to flow; And some mute power beckoned me to go; Bui yet another power stronger -till Bade me follow ii t the tempter ' s will. The stream of mortals never ceased to flow, Ami yet I followed not the tempters will. The voice that tempted me was clear and bold, And bade me follow her for fame and gold; I i i when I looked, a woman ' - form stood near. Then bending o ' er me whispered in my ear: ' Forsake, young man. the idol in thy heart. For wisdom i- in life a dreary part; Give ii | • thy aims, ambitions, and thy pride, And win the goddess Commerce to thy side. Forsake, young man. the idol in thy heart. And win the goddess Commerce to th] side. Far in the distance whither flowed the stream, A lighl burst forth — a mellow golden gleam. The temptress pointed with her jewelled hand. And there upon the shining, silver sand, Great man-ion- rose like magic in the air. And si, one in all their splendor, grand and fair. 1 looked again, and thro ' the golaen sheen A city ' s splendor could be dimly seen. iwi.it mansions rose like magic in the aii ■; A city ' s splendor could be dimly seen. [ 24 On rushed the stream; and on each mortal face There shone determination — and life ' s race Sped madU one: for each to gain the Gold, Put Joy aside, and e ' en was Honor sold. Sacrificing all to thai vain goddess Fame; Or what was e ' en the stake in life ' s bold game. But what of that! For in yon shining light, The final goal shone dazzling clear and bright, Sacrificing all to that vain goddess Fame; The final goal shone dazzling clear and bright. Turning from that weird, yet enchanting scene, Turning from that dimly glimmering, golden sheen, 1 felt a holy presence — heard a voice, Bidding me to ponder well and make my choice. I looked into a gentle smiling face: Minerva, in her majesty and grace, In accents sweet and low, said: Choose thy goal. And calm rejoicing filled my falt ' ring soul. I looked into a gentle smiling face And calm rejoicing tilled my falt ' ring soul. Then looking forward thro ' the -hade of time, I saw the rocky heights there were to climb. The thorny path- thro ' which I need- nui-t go; The waves which fain would ti -- me to and fin. I gazed into the mi-t of years to come, I brushed away the webs, and heard the hum Of industry: A picture came to view ; I read the legend: To thyself he true. i gazed into the mi-t of year- to come, And lead the legend: To thyself he true.

' 4 _ ' t prophesy ! to gaze into the future, and to snatch from the hands of a t futurity those great secrets which she so jealously guards, and to expose them to the eager eyes of the present: this was the superhuman task -- gned me by thai great, august, and thoughtless body of men known as the Senior Class of nineteen-five ! Tin- was ii ordinary task, this delving into the future lives and acts of creatures ranging from a McDonald to a Carson, from a Blackiston to a Eillman; -. evi n from the Highlands of old Scotland to the Alamo of Texas, and from the shores of the Atlantic to the green hills of Virginia. Fully conscious of the great responsibility resting upon me, and becoming more and more conscious of my inability to accomplish it without some superhuman issistance, 1 sat vainly trying to collect my wandering thoughts far into the night. As I sat thus, with bowed head, and gazed dreamily, half-unconsciously into the dying coals, which cast their shadows on the wall, suddenly 1 heard a rustle behind me as of some one passing out at the open door. Quickly rousing myself, I glanced around, and as I did so I beheld a peculiar looking, but beautifully shaped goblet filled to the brim with a bright and sparkling liquid, and at the same time I beheld, just above my d a perfectly shaped hand, which, even as I looked, began to write, lid that hand of old, and after it had written and vanished 1 read the one word, Drink! [nstantly the thought rushed up to me that this was the means by which some kind pro idenee was to assist me in my prophecy, so without a moment ' s hesita- tion I seized the sparkling nectar and quaffed it lovingly and long. Immediately 1 felt a wonderful change coming over me. I saw things of which 1 had never dared dream before. I saw men whom man had judged to be good, and I found, alas ! that man does not know the half; I saw men who had been judged to bi bad, and I felt glad that I had been allowed to see them in their true light, and in know that a man is not always as he is judged bj his fellow-man. Although the things that 1 saw were many, and although I saw the past as well as the future, I quickly controlled my wandering thoughts and concentrated my attention to the future and the things which it should hold. Soon my attention was attracted by a crowd which thronged the streets of a large city. Seeing that this human stream appeared to set in one direction, I followed, and soon entered the portals of a magnificent cathedral. A constrained excitemenl seemed to reign over the large congregation, and in a few minutes I had lered from a whispered conversation the cause. Two of the great ministers of city were soon to meet at the altar — one to officiate at the nuptial ceremony and I 26 1 the other to give and receive the binding vows. .hist at the appointed time the grea.t orchestra began a beautiful wedding march, which seemed to roll in volumes, and tn echo and re-echo among the arches of ih ' building. A door in the rear opened, and a small man robed in his clerical attire entered, just as the wedding procession entered at the front. As they met at the altar I saw all. 1 recognized in tin- minister prepared tn do the work our class President, J. Hubby Lloyd, and in the person before him. who seemed tn he writhing in fear and uncertainty, I recognized our patriarch, Moses Sydnor. ■ Alas! 1 thought, that shi — whoever -In ' ua Imiihl have come tn this ! Next I was wafted along through space, and soon found myself passing along another great thoroughfare of a great metropolis. As 1 passed one of the large law buildings I heard a voice, which rose ami fell with such a peculiar cadence, as it rolled off period after period of oratory, that I was forced tn pause. Where had 1 heard that voice before? It was familiar, yet I was unable tn recall it: so, moved h some hidden impulse, 1 entered the building. 1 beheld a large court-room filled tn overflowing with an intensively attentive audience, and looking in the direction in which every eye was strained, I saw a slight, nervous man expounding the law in such a convincing manner that every eye was fastened upon him. ami every sound was stilled, dust behind this speaker, and in front of the judge ' s desk, was another intellectual looking man. somewhat smaller than the lirst, and on whose face, in spite of tin 1 exertion from which he seemed tn he just recovering, there was a satisfied expression, which seemed tn say as plain as words, I have done a good work ; let me rest. .hist behind the desk, in the judge ' s chair, was a portly looking gentleman, with thinly scattered sandy-white hair. With one final, prolonged plea, which would have excited the emotions of a stone, the speaker ended, and as he and hi.- colleague turned in acknowledge the rounds of applause with which they were greeted, a light Hashed across my memory, ami I recognized my old class-mates. In a few minute- the jury passed in their unanimous verdict, and then the air was filled with shouts of how the great h.w firm of Shawen Counts, in the court of .hi dec Slater ' . Blackiston, had won one of the greatesl victories in the legal Geld of the day. They had convinced a refractory jury that a man is justified in doing the other fellow, and doing him lirst. provided the other fellow will allow it. It was noised abroad as a great precedent in the legal world. Soon the scene was changed; I found myself in the broad, open country, free from the din and the noise of the city. Being weary, 1 lay down upon the grass, ami felt a- though I could lie down like a wearj child and sleep away this life of care, which I had borne and yet must hear. ' That was not to be, however, for soon I heard ;i sound as of a rushing, mighty wind, and looking up, I beheld in the distance a diabolical looking machine, which approached so rapidly that 1 though! it musl be racing with eternity. Just as it go! opposite me, one of the infernal arrangements in front balked, and the thine, suddenly changing its course, flattened out against the fence beside me, while it- six occupant- continued then- journey for some appre- ciable distance beyond the fence. Amazed at the remarkable agility with which they recovered themselves, I looked more closely at these unfortunate wayfarers, and recognized in them, by some peculiar marks and signs, the persons of Washington Everett MacDonald, J. Augustus Carson, Joseph Nehemiah Ilillman. Alfred Lorenzo Terrell and our member from Alabama, Carlos Lucius Turnipseed. T firsl two had become celebrated students of velocity, and had spent the las) few years of their lives in trying to increase the speed of a machine to the point when it would leave the earth and henceforth pass through the air. As thej approached the remains of their gasping machine, there was a heated discussion going on. Mac swore repeatedly thai they bad finally discovered the objecl of their study, and that it would be a matter of only a few months before he would be doing just as the birds in the spring time, minus the singing. Yes, sir, he said, I ' ll leave this earthly home and lake m flight afar. Man. he said, real angrj like, didn ' t you notice how we gol from that fence to the place where we stopped there on the ground? I itll you, ii was wonderful; why. we flew ju t as sure as you are a c velocitarian, J Carson looked up at him with a pitying smile and said, 0 thou of little knowlei - sawest thou not how it was done, or hast thou forgotten so soon? Seeing that tl - were just warming up to the subject, I transferred ray attention to the other occu- pants of tin- aforementioned machine. I ' ll. -i ' members of the party — Terrell, Turnipseed and Eillman — hail become renowned evangelists, ami were doing a great work in the world. They were on of their journeys when they had been overtaken by the scientists, ami had b persuaded to join them in their experiment. A- soon as they had gotten together again, there burst from them spontaneously ' , a- it were, the good old hymn, Praise God, from whom all blessings How. As the la-t words of the doxology died away, Brother Alfred earnestly suggested that they should immediately begin work on their former class-mates. For, says he, their work is far too dangerous for them to go thus unprepared. Knowing what was likely to follow, I left for other scenes, hut could not help heaving a heavy sigh that such as these should he allowed to _ about unwatched. Brooding over these sights, 1 passed on. oblivious of the many interesting things which 1 fain would have seen and enjoyed. I was awakened out of this seeming trance by again hearing the din. the clash, and the sound of hurrying feet, all of which sound.- betokened the presence of another metropolis. Glancing over the hurrying crowd. 1 noticed one who. from the manner in which he met the surging crowd and from the progress he made through it. I knew must have been a man of determination. Attracted by something which seemed familiar about him, I fol- lowed, and soon entered after him into one of the great publishing houses of the country. As he entered the inner sanctum. or office, the editor, a man of weight in the world, and whose ability and influence had commanded respect, arose, and. with a hearty grip and a ring of real pleasure in his voice, greeted the new-comer. A- soon as the friendly greetings were over, th litor continued in a voice in which hope ami Fear seemed blended. And have you brought the manuscript at last? The country is waiting impatiently for the next issue. In answer to this the young man placed a roll of manscript on the desk, and with the remark that he hoped the public would he satisfied, he left the building. The next week this book came out, and the effect was wonderful. It seemed as if it were cast upon a vast ocean, and it wonderful effects seemed to be borne away upon a tide both wild and wide. Its fame spread afar with the most wonderful rapidity. It was talked of amid the I 8 ] mountains of the North; it was read beneath the groves of the tropical climates ; ii was talked of and enjoyed from the slopes of the Atlantic to the Golden Gate, and still its fame increased. And what was this book, do you ask? Listen to the title, Let Us be United ' by Thomas Peachej Spencer and James William Gossman, published and edited l the Eonorable II. Blankinship. This was a sight that made me thankful that I was permitted to glance into the future. I saw. as the effects of this book, the North and the Smith i t together on a (-(11111111111 field, and eagerly assist each other in removing from the Face of the earth that great, invisible wall, which had tended to keep them apart, and had bred envy and hatred in the hearts of brothers. 1 saw those who had been Northerners and Southerners meeting together in love and friendship, and it made me glad that I was permitted tn see such things, and to know how they were done. As I thought (if the remaining members of this distinguished body of men. ami felt my utter inability ti understand even their present acts. I felt especially ai a loss how to speak of their future doings. Confronted by such a problem as this. I felt a strong need for courage ami inspiration, and in casting about me for something by which I may he helped, my eyes fell upon the sparkling liquid which had thus far done so much for inc. Addressing ' it by endearing terms, I again sought its most comforting influence. No sooner had it passed my lips than my eyes were again opened to the future, and I saw even plainer than before. 1 looked, ami behold, far oil ' in that Southern country which connects the continents of the new world. I saw an immense multi- tude of people of every nationality. It was evident that something was about to take place, such as had never before been seen in tin- world. As I looked 1 beheld a line of richly decorated battleships approach the shore and pass into what appeared a large river. Standing on the bridge of the foremost ship there were four distin- guished looking men on whom the eyes of the multitude seemed fastened. ' The one was the Hon. Jabez Belial ' Terrell, President of these United States of America: the other was Thomas Nero Lawrence, the power behind the throne, the great in- ternational diplomat, and successor to the Hon. John Hay. who led the march id ' the nations. The other two were Julius Nabisco Hubbard and Jabez Tyler, the M ' ieiitist . civil engineers and geniuses of their day. This was the great quartette on which the eyes of the world were fastened, and they were leading the way through, and opening up one of the greatest pieces of engineering work in the world ' s his- tory — the Panama Canal. These were the men who had taken up a work that had baffled men for generations, ami had taken it up with the determination that wins; and now, after the failures of the past, they had finally dug the ditch from ocean to ocean, and had watched the crystal waters blend, and were now initiating a work of which it may well he -aid that it was well done. And who were these great forces who were guiding the progress of the world. and were setting standards by which nations should direct their courses? Who were these men. do you ask, who were carrying on a work which, although difficult and great, was the work for which they had been prepared:- They were the men of the Senior Uass and of the Class of Naughty Five. too. I knew the} could do it, I knew, I knew! Although I fell glad and happy that I had been thus far successful in my endeavors to gii into the future, yet there was a Lingering feeling of pain or satisfaction. This feeling was the result of my unsuccessful efforts to look into the future of another member of the class. As thoughts of this member came up to me, I was surprised to find thai uo change came. There was a Longing, a yearning after something, but it was all in vain. There was no response, uo indication that he would ever have a future. Made desperate by such a state of affairs, I seized e n the source of m former inspiration, and after a few moments of quiet enjoy- ment, saw light -Inning through the bottom, but this was the only Light that dawned upon me. Its influence was insufficient to draw the curtain from a future so inter- esting and so dear to me. Whatever the cause of this strange baffling, whether it was due in the quantity or the quality of the contents of the goblet, or to both, has never yel been discovered, and to this day the many and various events which futurity has in store for him is unknown to the Prophet.

Cll E history of a College class is a record that is not written to be read and pondered over at the time of its making, when the events recorded in it are fresh in the minds of those whom it concerns. Such a history has nothing to tell the members of the class — Eor whom it is written — until the lapse of years has made it the reviewing of a tale learned long before, and has almost effaced the memories of the one-time class-mates and friend-. But when College days are long past, and the once familiar sights and -minds have faded and gone, then it is that a class history ma be read and enjoyed. Then it is that the alumnus, wandering Ear from his alma mater and engrossed with the cares of the on-rushing march of life, may have tender memories awakened in him, and fond recollections recalled, by the sight of -nme account, - e token, of his College years. And if this humble record should, in Mime future day. awaken in some member of the Class of ' 06 a renewed and deeper love for his College, the historian will oot deem hi- labor tn have been spent in vain. There is a saying that ' •tin their own merits modest men are dumb. So if this record doesn ' t seem tn show you, gentle reader, that the Class of ' 0G i- the largest, the handsomest, the most intellectual, the must athletic of all the classes that have ever been or ever will he. you may attribute it to the fact that we of the class are all modest men. Our.- is a class of men of many different types. It is a das- of men whose interests are varied, and whose paths to happiness extend in many different direc- tions. We have among us the athlete and the student, the politician and the preacher, the calico spoil and the literary society man. the married man and the single man. the smart man and the Pool. And each of these deserves at least a passing word in the history of the class. A- we mentioned the athlete first, we will begin by stating that the ( ' la-- of ' m; had it- full share in the make-up of the Foot-ball team that diil so much to put new life into the athletics of William and Mary. When it i- mentioned that we were represented mi the team by Johnson, Henley and Chapman, what more need he -aid! And. in addition to this, both the President and the Vice-President of the Athletic Association are of our number. As to what we will do in base-ball, it i- too early to sin definitely. Hut it can he safely stated that we will he well represented on I he team. Among those who are reckoned wit 1 1 thai illustrious body known a- -Indents — and by students we do not mean e ei- hod who -impl attends College we are represented. We k now it would please -i in n ■ of us if we were |o name our -clmlarlx ma hut. alas! There are some whom we ca t mention as students. So. in I 35 | i to them — ill ' o the class 1 bo its Rtudi ;itv. Then is one character wit limit whom no class can be complete: a character thai ms n his solemn duty to see thai the i lass n - 1 ives it.- full share of honors. We mean tlie politician. He is to a class historj vvhai a prime minister or a leader in •s is to a national history. And the Class of ' 06 is nol lacking when it comes politician. We have several of them. Bu1 stalking in our midsl there is one ■ claim- first honors in this department. Who could he be other than that demagogui of the Philomathean, that past-master of ways thai are ' lark and tri that an- vain — F. XI. Parrish, Jr. Bui there is another typi of man an g our illustrious ranks; and who ran sa) its presence does not lend our name an added lustre? We refer t preachers, those truly good men- Young, Garner and William-. What i trium- virate! Who has not beheld them as thej trod their steadfast ways; and beholding them, who as nol had his soul stirred with an almosi irresistible longing to follow where they led ? But again the scene is changed. We no longer gaze upon those who tread the path where grim dut lies. We behold on — for we have but on — whose trust in all that - good and true, fair and gay, here and hereafter, i- placed in the keeping of those fair flowers of old Williamsburg — the ladies. Who could this be other than Reddy Rawls of the Class of ' 06? In literary society work some of our members have been prominent. Of the oratorical abilities of Parrish, William-. Long, Young and Johnson then- ran be no question. And we are greatly mistaken if their sonorous tones are nol some heard appealing to the voters or the juries of our State I lis Class of ' 06 i- peculiarly blessed, for we have among us not only I who enjoy the celibate life, but also one whom connubial ties have bound. May he live long and prosper. And you, unblessed members of the class, hearken well to - i sample. The -mar; man! shall we name him? It would require a keen perception to place this honor on any one of the bright galaxy of our class, for we have many to in the honor might fall. So, lest we be unjust, we omit his name. And the fool! Who i- her But again, patient reader, we forbear. Gentlemen of the class, our task i- done. Many of our number we will see for last time this session, for a class -• ld m returns all of it.- members to it- alma mater. To those who go we bid God-speed. And to those who return, our sentim pressei in the words of the poet : • Let all the ends thou aim ' sl at Be thy country ' s, thy God ' s, and truth ' s. [ 3(i SOPHOMORE CLASS. Motto.

LL day Old Sol had been easting his magic rays down upon the land where, ' mid the beautiful elms and stately oaks, stands the historic College of William and Mary. It was to attend this venerable institution that we, on an autumnal evening just a little over a year ago, made our debut. Tlie fellows at College called us • Due-. with the descriptive words noisy and boistrous attached to this unsolicited title we had received. And. to make a Long story short, it might well he said that during the session the Dues ' life was quite .in appetizing one. for wo were well cared for. The upper classmen were very sociable. They called on us quite often, not. however, at very fashionable hours, but whenever tin- notion struck them; ami, also, they were er considerate in looking after our health: we thought most too much so. because wo felt perfectly will, but they decided wo were in had health, ami were in need of exercise such as dancing, running the gauntlet, climbing the greasy pole, and numerous other stunts which space ill not permit to mention. Anyhow, this kept its right lively, and at times pretty warm. Hut time waits for no man. and soon finals rolled around, and we hade adieu to our many friends for a short vacation. ow once more we are in Ye Ancient College Town, not, however, as sassy Dues, hut with the long wished-for title of Sophomore. As the Sophomore Classes of previous years have ever been thoughtful and considerate of the Dues. so we, not unlike our illustrious predecessors, wish also to have this said of us, ami while working to accomplish that end. which was quite a difficult task, as it was found accessary not only to give the naughty eight classmen exercise from the standpoint of health, hut also from the standpoint of salting down and holding them in cheek-, for the Duo are mi very ambitious that they wish to he great orator- and statesmen before they have evolved from the realms of Duc- 1.

XT would take some one more capable than myself to read the future of men, and to write the history of ninety such men as compose the Due class of 190-4 and 1905. Heretofore histories have been written of great men and their wonderful deeds, but he who reads the name by which we are unfortunately called, will see that we have not as yet become Eamous. We may never become famous by fighting a Waterloo, but we are glad of the fact that there are ether things equally as great and honorable as those carried off li Napoleon. ot unlike the Dues of previous years, the Dues of naughty four and five are hard to beat. Their ambitions and aspirations for higher things have already become self-evident. We take great pride in stating that there is one among us who has already announced himself a candidate for Governor, on the prohibition ticket, in the approaching election. He is none ether than the honorable Harry L. Willis, of Rappahannock county. We also have in our midst the smiling face of the defeated .Indue Parker. For the first few weeks of our stay here we were kept in a continuous state of uneasiness and excitement by the repeated midnight visits — Of tlm-e who are older than we, Of many far wiser than we — which we deemed nut at all a necessity, but were nevertheless a wonderful developer of leg muscles, ami caused not a few to break the record of our predecessors in foot-racing. On the field of athletics we are not unimportant factor-, being well represented on the foot-ball field 03 Herrin, Strong, Willis. Walls, Fowler, Montague, Fanny and Little Mae, Fowler and Walls being star players on the Varsity team. The other men are not at all discouraged, however, at their failure to make the Varsity, but say they are u ' oinu ' to give some one a tight push for a position next fall. Though tlie calico ticket i a hard one. we are well represented. Little I ' .nu les -a - he thinks he can make all of hi- classes this year except calico. It i- not known yet who will hi ' on the base-ball team, but it is believed by many that a good pel ' cent, of them will come from our ranks, a- we have some good men on the practice field working like Turks for a position on the team. This is what the Due.- of 1904- ' 05 are noted lor. Il i- almOSl a draw between Guy and Mo.-leV. the Competitors for the Lecture Cutters Medal.

Possibly the Cupid in tlii- instance ex • only in a young m m ' s wild fancy, but I shall lell yon the storj and lei you y _ for yourseh es. I spent my vacation in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, and those of you who have always lived in Tidewater have a grand i real in store, if ou really want to see the garden spot. I wanted a quiet summer, so I went ; far away from the travelled path as I could, and boaxded with a family of simple, industrious Ger- mans. The month was August, and the verdant, luxuriant corn waved to and fro as the cooling bre ■ . - came down from the majestic Blue Ridge. i ; far from the ho — O.QuEetf . icrm. ' i« ti r £ace tix .+ j. oaer _ ua- a grovi — a mixrur evergreen and di eid trees — and there I spent many i delightful hour reading my favorite authors and meditating beauties of nature. Just at the edgi thi grove was a spring, I 60 ] and there the thrifty farmer had buill a spring-house, as it was called, where the milk was kept, and where the Luscious, golden butter was made 03 Frau Schmidt and her rosy-cheeked daughter. Ah! I see by your expecfcanl faces and bright eyes that you expect the Cupid affair to culminate in the ros.y-cheeked fraulein. Well, we shall see. One morning as I sat in mj retreat enjoying my Sartor Resartus, 1 was startled in my meditations od clothes bj the fierce barking of the house dog Schnudel. That dog was a genius. When an ordinary visitor disturbed the sacred precincts of Schmidtland, Schnudel merely emitted a Eew faint grunts and retired to the rear of the house. If the visitor carried a grip or bundle of any kind it worried the dog considerably; but if the faithful Schnudel thought the visitor was an agent lie would go wild with rage. Thus it was that when 1 heard his Sere demonstrations 1 knew that a terrible being was abroad in the land, ami decided to remain under cover. However, I peered nut from behind my leafy retreat, ami there beheld my old friend. Bob Duffy, coming up the long lane, swinging a ' scope ease and wearing a smile id ' supreme superiority. M first impulse was to run out ami embrace the dear fellow, hut on second thought I decided to keep quiet and watch the workings of the now famous ' seoper; then 1 would come out. invite him to share my humble abode, am! we would have a jolly time. Bob glanced wistfully at the sparkling spring, the cool shade and the array of dairy implements hut the ' scoper ' s watch-word. Business before pleasure, ' spurred him on. and In went up hill to the farm-house. That Bob was making a sale. 1 felt certain, for I heard a clattering noise like the distant rattle of musketry. Then 1 heard a moaning like the sound of autumn wind in the pines. The sound increased in volume and intensity until it resembled the mar of heavy artillery, and culminated in a crash that sounded not unlike the mighty hammer-istrokes of Vulcan. I was not uneasy, lor 1 knew the sounds proceeded from the unconquerable Duffy as he proved i Frau Schmidt that .-he could not possibly keep house or even exist without at leasl ten dollars ' worth of his peerless original views. When Bob came saunter- ing down from the house his smile and genial air of self-importance was intensified, and I scarcely knew whether I should make my presence known. Hut my cogitations were soon ended, for Bob spied a figure flitting among the rock- at the spring. It was Fraulein Schmidt. Bob hastened to the spring, but found her not. Visions hi fairy milkmaids came to his excited mind, and he determined to find the fair creature, mi lie ran around the spring-house. Again he caught sight of a wonderful being dressed in white, yellow and green. With every passing moment his imagina- tion , ' rew wilder. Perhaps she was a queen of royal blood passing as a milkmaid. Round ami round they went, until finally Bob caught the fleeing figure. There the) stood panting, Bob holding her arm.-, and -he struggling mildly, pretending that -he wanted to get away. Her head ami face was completely hidden by a huge sun-bonnet. ' Where are you going, my pretty little milking-maid ? ' said Bob, a- -one as he had breath enough to -peak. Her only reply was a suppressed giggle. Growing holder. Iloli .-aid. M ) Queen! let ine see thy Ian- face, fni ' I kn-iu thou niu-l In ' a fairy-queen. ' Still no response, so he continued, Let us drink from yon beaker and quaff together the foamy nectar.

To -.i 1 hat Bob was astonished is putting it mildly. Ee was dumb- founded — spell-bound. His vis- ion of a beautiful milkmaid had vanished, and before him stood a grinning, flaxen-haired dcutsches madtchen. Her nose was large and red : her lips were heavy and rough : her cheek-bones wi re high iml painfully prominent : and al- i hough her cheeks were rosy, her complexion was as freckled as the egg of Job ' s blue turkey hen. Bob was disenchanted. He glanced around wildly, terrified, then he picked up his ' scope case, and. without saying a word, took to his heels. He fled through the cornfield, and his wild flight shook and swayed the corn as never mountain breeze swayed it. 1 called tn him, but he would not stop, m I ran down the lane to the road. I climbed up the fence, and away down the road I saw Bob ' s 1 pike, and thru disappeared from I 02 I W - HKIiK has never yei been placed upon the records of the history of ■ £j William and Man ' s Athletics so bright an era as that of the present session. The future is still brighter, and we sit the day not far distant when William and Mary will be felt in the athletic world of the State as never before. The spirit of our student-body demands nothing short of success, for a more generous or a more loyal student-body is not to be found. The public cannot Inn agree with us when we toll them that, with an enrollment of one hundred and ninety-three men, they raised more than one thousand dollars among themselves for athletic purposes, over ami above fees paid into the treasury of the • lollege. With these facts we cannot but expect that success which reward- honest effort. Through the excellent coaching of one of the best coaches in the Slate. Mr. J. Merrill Blanchard, of Bowdoin College, Maine, ami the management of Mr. .1. A. Carson, together with Mr. 11. Blanekinship as captain, our foot-hall team ha- won laurels for itself and for the College. Colleges who thought they had a walk-over when it came to William and Mary, had to suffer the humiliating experience of seeing their banners go down in defeat . while William and Mary ' s floated out to the breeze in triumphant victory. We were forced to accept the position of second best for the championship, ' tis true, but it is not SO had when we knew that we can -a with a clear conscience that there i- a large question mark to hi ' placed after the one score which was made by the College who won ii over us. The afternoon of Novembers, 1904, will be long remembered h everj student who -aw Richmond College go down in defeat. The | pie of Williamsburg will al-o remember how a number of the houses in town bore the sign of 15 to 6 in manj different colors the following morning. The game with Randolph-Macon must not go without mention. It was a battle royal from the -tart. The team- were evenly matched, hut all who -aw- the gj agree that the -mall score made by Randolph- Macon i- to he very much questioned. I 63 | I an i. red the support and praise of the entire studet y, as well as of i ! - ..i the College.

The management of iii. team by Mr. G. G. Shawen, together with Mr. .1. II. Lloyd as captain, was all thai could be desired, everything being done I ' m ' tin- g I of our College. We arc unable in give an account of the field 1 ; i exercises, a- ii i- yel too early. We notice thai men are practicing for tin- work, and no doubt will make a good -In i« ing hen ihf day comes.

Unless he ha- - - power in do. a- well as i know how to do, he will find himself swept along with the current, and the world will not he profited by his having lived. What has this to do with Athletics? Just this, that the spirit of originality and independence gotten on liron or the diamond can rarely ho gotten so easily elsewhere. When you ask for a position in the world, the first inquiry is. What can you do? The world does noi care to know whether you can imitate sonic e else or not.

THE ORGANIZATION. HRIENDS AND FELLOW-STUDENTS: In writing an account of the Young Men ' s Christian Association, there is more to be left unsaid than there in to say. 1 shall attempt to present to you the V. M. C. A. at our College, and a brief sketch of the work that is being accomplished by its members. Probably it will be of interest to ii few to know that our Association was established at William and Mary during the session of 1888- ' 89. Mr. J. I.. Hunter, of Norfolk, was elected President, and under bis guidance of patience and perseverance, the Association outlived the many obstacles and diffi- culties that ever beset a new organization. Through the _ n-erosity of a friend in town, the new Association had a room f TS ] designed for its purpose offered to it, which was accepted with profound gratitude and great joy. After the lapse of several years, the Taliaferro Building was completed, then a room was secured in the Ewell and used until 1900— ' 01, when we moved to our well equipped and much more beautiful room in the gymnasium. Such, very briefly, is the historj of the Young Men ' s Christian Association of the College of William and Mary. As is familiar to many of us, we opened thi session with very brighi prospects. Our President, Mr. Eerman Blankinship, and the Cabinet soon lei the new men know that the Y. M. C. A. extended to them a cordial welcome. At present we have one hundred ami twenty-five mbers of our Association, ami we sent, as we did t the Newport News and Richmond Conventions, fifteen men to the State Convention, which was beld in February at Petersburg, Va. We shall also send several delegates to the Southern Student Conference, which meets in North Carolina, hast year we were represented by Messrs. G. 1.. II. Johnson and W. G. Ixing, who have proved the good they derived from the Confer- ence by the way they have conducted their Bible classes. In this department we are very ably assisted by Dr. Bruce R. Payne, of the Faculty, who teaches Lives of tlie Apostles, ami through his efforts much g 1 i- being accomplished. During the month of October we were very fortunate in having Mr. W. B. Pettus, Secretary of the Student Volunteer Movement, with us. and as a result (if his work two cla e were organized lor the purpose of studying mission.-. In place of having our regular Week of Prayer service in the Y. M. C. A. Hall, it was decided by the Cabinet to conduct service in some student ' s room, to he led by an earnest worker, and this method proved to he very successful. On January 22, 1905, Mr. I- ' . A.

Was fairest of the three. Ill Thai 1 1 h ■ were fairer than the day living mortal could gainsay : But ilir stood weeping there. Thus they had neither peace nor rest, So each one went upon a quest, To prove herself most fair.

[ 80 I THE PHI BETA KAPPA SOCIETY. v 4 ' 1 1 K Phi Beta Kappa Society is the only association in America thai binds m t together literary men in a bond of literary fellowship and brother] I. Though its chapters are situated in colleges and universities, 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 -tarn key gives one an entree into literary circles all over the country. Th as Nelson Page regarded his election at William and Man as the highest academic honor ever bestowed upon him. This old society yas born at William and Mary College, December 5, 1 T 7 1 ■ . Among its early members were Bushrod Washington, the eminent jurist: William Short, the distinguished diplomat, and Child ' Justice John Marshall. It- early members were so prominent in the period of the Revolution as to give the society enormous prestige. In L779, William and Mary voted charters to Harvard and Yale, and the chapter- established thereafter have had a distinguished ami almost continuous ca reel- at i he.-e 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 ami universities, and she is highly honored in the Senate and in the Ti iennial Council of the Society. Phi Beta Kappa does not in 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 -indent- have been elected on account of their literary promise. It is an honor to which any student may well aspire, and i- conferred solely on account of character ami attainments. In proportion to members the moth er 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. 82 -i a x o c. o X [ 34 ] THETA DELTA CHI FRATERNITY. Founded at Union College, 1848.

I H4 LONG YEARS AGO. fWEET maiden fair, with tender eyes of brown, And rarest smile of Beauty ' s love and grace, Fond thoughts of you 1 muse and oft have dreamed, That should, through fate, you learn, a faintest frown Perchance might slightly mar your gentle face. And cast a shade where brightness should have beamed. Long years ago 1 saw thee as a child, And in my soul did love ' s own portals glide To bid thee enter to my childish heart. And from that day my love, when yet so mild, Has stronger grown for thee, and much I pride Myself that love once born can never part. Oft times my mind I boldly make resolve. Diselose my love, entrust to thee my fate, When ere I start, some voice doth whisper low: Rather than thy love fore ' er dissolve. Tis better far in fancy love: ere too late, And disappointment cast thy | iiit low. ' To know thee as of thee I dream, my heart In raptures scarce could 1m.]. 1 it- joyous bound, My love would then lie all my heart could give; Then life on earth would to my -..ul impart The Miss of paradise, an.
