It is natural to tliiiik tlial a man owning a Iju.siness of svieli iiia};nitude woulil liave no time lo consider other tliint;s. liut this is very ditl ' erent with Dr. Hatelicller. He is an earnest student of . merican hislorx , a lover of ;oo(l hooks in ;;eneral. and an artist of rare taste and disirimination. His eollectiou of anti |ue specimens, and the thousands of hooks wliioli lie has amassed, have ;;iven him the national reputation of a cultured man and a liheral educator. I5eside tliese tliines, which seem to he enoufih to demand all the time of an average man. he is an active memher of the American Institute of C ' ivics. the American Asiatic Association, the Order of Founders and Patriots of America and of the Sons of the American Kevolntion. the Xew York Chamher of t ' onimerce. and is an author of some note. Dr. liatclieller is also an extensive traveler, havin.i! crossed the ocean twenty-live times, and visited the principal historic and educational centers of the European countries. It is. perhaps, due to this familiarity with foreipjn institutions that his ideas for the educa- tion and development of his own people have heen awakened and hroadened. In his travels lie has collected such literature as would give one a thorouj;h knowled ;e of what others have done and how they are livin ; to-day. . lthim{ h he expresses somewhat peculiar views on the sid)iect of hooks anil lihraries. the fact that he is not willing to follow the letter of his own teacliin,u ' and that he is a j;eiiuine hihliophile is evidenced by his own personal library — the largest. ])eiliaps. in the I ' nited States — and his recent liberal donation to the library of William and Mary (-ollege. So well has he served his generation, that the faculty of William and JIary. in rec- ognition of siuli a public benefactor and scholar, conferred u|)on him in .June. 1007. the lionorary degree of Doctor of Laws. Coming as it did frimi an institution so rich in history and sacred tradition, and in which others, eipially philanthropic, were educated. Mr. Bateheller has considered this by no means Ihe least on his long rcdl of honors. It is with pride that the studenls look upon his portrait which hangs upon a enluiiin in the library, for it seems to bespeak his noble and generous life. And it is our hope that America will continue to give vis such men to redeem her peoph ' from the bomls .jf illiteracy and to raise higher and higher the torch of civilization and truth. (- ! A. L.

(Elir (0ursttmt Dan C ipi l is n god, they say, As blind as lie can be. But, nothwitlistanding what they say, It seemed most strange to me That one like Dan could do his work. Without the aid of eyes, And this 1 could not understand, To me Iwas a suri)rise. But now since I ' ve grown older. 1 am coming, day by day. To be convinced that there is truth In what the people say About this little rascal. lioiii we all know as Dan C upi l. He s either a mischievous wretch. Or else he ' s mighty stupid. Now why 1 speak of Cupid thus, My friends, I ' m now confessing, 111 tell you all about the muss Without any more digressing. To one and all 1 now shall tell The story of my strife. In which 1 lost the village belle, Tlie ilarliii:. ' of iiiv life. When I met this little maiden With eyes of deepest brown. Who all confessed was far ahead Of anything in town. 1 fell in love at first sight, . nd vowed that her I ' d win. But. when 1 thought I had her, Dan Cupid butted in. He shot, the arrow took eti ' ect. The wimnded was another. The village belle is married now, Hut she ' s the wife of brother. And 1 am left alone to think Of things that might have been. For 1 was on the very brink. When Cupid butted in. So. after grave reHection. I ' pon what the people say. - dde(l to my dejection. Which I ' m feeling, day by day: . nd now since brother got the girl. And all my hopes are blighted. I must confess if Dan ' s not blind. He ' s devilishly bad near-sighted. W. L.

We cannot begin by saying that the present class is the remnant, tried and true, of a mass of Freshmen who entered here four years ago. This cannot be said, because the members of this class have come and gone, and come again. In fact, some of us have been at William and Mary for a decade, more or less. But being absent has had one good effect, and that is, that on the return, one has a deeper love for his Alma Mater than before. As has been said, Absence makes the heart grow fonder; and those who have been absent wish again for college days. There is a feeling worse than mere homesickness in the longing for another year at college. And may this be our feeling after we have left these old halls, perhaps never to return again ! As there has been only individual history until the present session, we cannot go back to our entrance in college, for each man absolutely refuses to divulge his past. Some of our members would like to bury the immediate past, but the deeds of this session are the deeds of a class, and therefore public property. That alone we shall make known in these pages. Although our members wish to forget the past, they hope to redeem themselves in the future, that the past may be consigned to absolute oblivion. But we shall not meddle with the future ; we have one to picture that, and we should be infringing upon his rights if we attempted it. We regret to have to record that two of our members were forced, by sickness, to withdraw from College. Our number was small before, but with C. L. Ebell and E. M. Terrell gone, we have a still smaller number. We can only express the hope that they can return another session to enlarge and strengthen another class. We shall not linger to tell of the achievements of our members, for every- one knows that what a Senior cannot do is not worth doing. But we might mention, in hurrying on, that our class is represented in all branches of athletics, literary and society work, and college politics. Of course, it goes without saying that we excel in our classes, for otherwise we would not be Seniors. We can name only one grind, and that, S. J. Williams. We let him serve as our example to lower classmen in that respect, and that is the only reason we allow him to overstudy. The rest of us take things as they come, and naturally they come easy, for we have said before, a Senior can accomplish all 23 things worth doing, and we now add to that statement the phrase with ease. We make only one exception to the above statement — we will not say that even a Senior can get his degree with ease. You can ask any one of the lordly A. M. ' s if theirs came easy, and all will tell you that it is a great undertaking. We refrain from naming our politicians, gas-bags and possessors of other vicious traits, for we have been too strongly urged upon at an executive session to withhold all such names. All would have gotten some place on the list, but it was voted down, because the class wanted no unfavorable influences brought to bear upon the high( r powers, the dispensers of degrees, etc. But we cannot refrain from referring to the Echo Election as witness to the truth of our statements. Some got the places they deserved, none got undeserved places, but some failed to get the places they deserved, possibly because others do not know them as well as we do. We cannot omit mentioning one of our festive occasions, — that which took place during the holidays, when some of our class had an eggnog supper and smoker. On this occasion the majority, memory carrying them back to Sophomore experiences, hazed the minority, and then they turned their atten- tion to the poor, innocent Sophomores. We hope that our festive boards in the future may be more orderly, as doubtless will be the case, for all A. M. ' s, Juniors, Sophomores, Freshmen and Preps, will be religiously excluded. The rest of our history is veiled in uncertainty. We can only say that we are laboring on, putting up all the bluil we can, and hoping to be lucky enough to land a sheepskin. But whether we succeed or not, most of our niimber will doubtless not return. Four years of college life spent at old William and Mary will, however, make us cherish her historic lore, and ever bear in mind the inspiration given us at the shrine of our nation ' s history; and there will be a double bond of union between us, — first, that we were all students at old William and Mary, and, secondly, that we cherish the memory of the years spent together in the classroom and outside, — the years of youth, the happiest of life. May the Class of ' 08 ever succeed, and may fortune at times bring us together while laboring on through the path of life, and may the hopes and longings aroiised in youthful hearts blossom forth in reality, despite the blows of a relentless world ! Though we may part and our paths of life may never bring us together again, let us still remember the faces and cherish the friend- ships of our classmates. And with this invocation, the historian ' s task is done. HiSTOKIAN. 24 Prophecy I AWOKE. It was morning, and cold as blazes. I rubbed my eyes to make sure they were open, flopped my arms to start the blood in circulation, and, with a yawn, climbed over the fence at the corner, where I had spent the night, and started off down the track. I was within a mile or so of a small railway station, and as I approached it, I heard the shrill whistle of a westbound freight. They were whistling down brakes, and I knew they were going to stop ; so hurrying along, I hid myself in the thick underbrush which lined each side of the track, and as the freight rolled in sight from around the bend and roared along in front of my hiding place, finally stopping before the station, I sprang up and prepared to nail her. I made a dash for a box car, whose side door was open. Placing my hands upon an iron bar, I vaulted in. The train, starting as I sprang, threw me backward with a thump, which nearly knocked me unconscious. Half dazed, I struggled to my feet, and as I did so a man rolled up from the corner, and with a terrified yell, started for the open door. He evidently thought I was the brakeman. He had reached the door and was about to leap from the freight, when I caught a front view of his face, and as I did so, I made a flying tackle for his knees and brought him down. Hello, Jess Ewell, old boy ! Are you an ordained gentleman of leisure like myself ? Well, I ' ll be hanged ! ' John Sharp ' Williams ! Give me your hand, old boy. Give me something to smoke. You have a mighty good-looking coat. I glanced down at my new broadcloth coat and grinned as I thought of that minister back down the road who was quietly working in his garden as I passed along, and whose coat, which hung over the fence, I had carefully appropriated, leaving mine instead. I reached into an inside pocket and to my delight pulled out half a dozen cigars. Cigars! shrieked Jess. The first I have seen for six months. I scarcely get a chance at anything but a cigarette. Exports too. Here ; give me a match. T did so, and a broad grin spread over the face of my old college chum as he drew in a mouthful of the smoke and then blew rings upward to the ceiling. 26 Where did you get thoni, old cbaj) ? said he, aa he laid his hand affection- ately u|)on lay shoulder. I related to him my adventure of the coat. Before I had finished, he broke into a loud roar, shaking his head and slapping his knees in his laughter. What ' s th(! matter? T cried, astonished. Do you know who that minister was ? No, and I don ' t care. That was old Bismarck Frank. I felt my conscience smite me, and wiped a tear from my eyelid. Jess laid both hands uptm my shoulders consolingly, and said in his feminine voice: Cheer up, old chap; the parish will vote him another one. So T cheered up, for I smelt chicken, and was hungry. Come on, Jess ! I smell chicken. Where have you got it ? The smile grew radiant upon my old chum ' s face as he said, Come on, old boy; they are as fat as butter. And they were. I seized upon a drumstick and began gnawing ravenoiisly. Where did you get them, Jess ? The gift of a farmer, he smiled. Oh ! Jess, old boy, I fear you have been up to your old tricks. He gi ' inned. Do you remember old S. A. McDonald ? Yes, I managed to mutter. These chickens came from his poultry farm. I tried to appear astonished, but was choked. Does he live ai ' ound here? Yes, he is married now, and is running a big poultry ranch down the road a little way. He found the poultry business so profitable while at college, he felt he could not give it up. I am glad he didn ' t ; aren ' t you ? Jess and I continued our conversation. He had found an old William and Mary Magazine in McDonald ' s yard when he swiped the chickens, and, thinking it would be good to start a fire with, had crammed it into his pocket. He had torn off most of the leaves, but the alumni notes were still in, and the following claimed our attention. We quote from the magazine : H. G. Carter, ' 08, who has made a fortime from his oyster beds, and then, like Alexander, desiring new fields to conquer, organized a baseball team, which last summer won the woi ' ld ' s championship. For the winter, however, Mr. Carter will attend to his large oyster business. We undei ' stand that he 26 will soon take an extensive trip West to complete the business details of several large contracts for supplying many western hotels with his Chesapeake Carter- selects. C. M. Hall, ' 08, ex-Governor of Nevada, is now making an active canvass of the State for the Senatorship. Professor H. P. Birckhead, ' 08, founder and president of the University of Hawaii, has recently been given a leave of absence on account of ill-health. After recuperating in the West, Professor Birckhead will pay his Alma Mater a visit. E. F. Shewmake, the famous Shakespearean actor, who has had many successful seasons in New York and London, has gotten together the best troupe in the world and will make an extensive tour of the West. He promises to come East and give a play for the benefit of the Colonial Echo. We had just finished reading of our classmates when the engine gave a series of loud shrieks, and the train slowed down. I knew we were approach- ing some town of importance. We both arose and crept stealthily towards the open door of the box car and peeped out to ascertain the lay of the land. We were in the midst of a great city, and as we looked, the train came nearly to a standstill. I heard some one say Reno, Nevada, and I instinctively felt for my purse. It was gone. I saw Jess conveying something into his hip pocket which resembled it greatly. I was about to lay hold of him when the faces of two trainmen appeared at the opposite door. Jess saw them at the same instant. Good-bye, John Sharp, old boy; I am compelled to retreat. Eeverence my memory. He dropped to the ground with a laugh, and started down the track like a streak of greased lightning. My purse, my purse! I cried, and made a leap after him, but failed. A rough hnnd had laid hold of my coat tail as I leaped, and I was for the moment a prisoner, — but only for a moment. Throwing back my arms and making another l ap forward, I left my coat in my captor ' s hands, and dashed across the track, down one of the prominent streets of Reno — the two trainmen at my heels. On I flew, the number of my pursuers increasing at every step. The citizens were joining in the chase, thinking something terrible had hap- pened. Some one hallooed Fire ! It was taken up by the crowd. I took it up and yelled as I ran Fire! Fire! The ruse saved me. I heard the clang-clang of the alarm bell, and then, in a few moments, the engines came tearing along. The crowd followed the engines, and I was saved, — but no! 27 Just as I turned into a side alley, I ran full tilt into something which felt like a stone wall. I went do vn in the dust and the wall went with me, and, worse still, on top of me. I rubbed my eyes. Could I believe my senses? I was lying clasped in the strong embrace of a blue-coated policeman, who was none other than my old college chum, G. A. B. Dovell. Hi, ' Gab, ' old boy ! How are you living ? Well, I ' ll be hanged — John Williams ! Where did you come from ? Oh, from the other end of Nowhere. A man like myself can hardly afford to tell a cop everything. Well, keep your past to yourself, and come on with me. Gab, old boy, you wouldn ' t pinch your classmate, would you ? I pleaded. I tried to work the soft game on him. No, I am taking you around to G. A. ' s hotel. I was infinitely relieved. You must be a tough nut, John Sharp. What have you been up to ? Just then we rounded the corner, and entered the lobby of the finest hotel in Keno. As we entered, I caught a glimpse of a pompous, corpulent man descending the steps. Come here, G. A., cried Gab. What in the deuce are you bringing that reprobate in here for. Gab? Take him to the lockup. He looks like he has served time before now. Gab broke into a loud laugh. G. A., don ' t you remember old John Williams, who was at college with us ? Certainly, but what has he got to do with that cuss you have there? Catch him, he is going to run, he cried, as he saw me step forward. No, I am not. G. A., won ' t you speak to a fellow ? I am John Williams, or what ' s left of him. By George! I think you must be the remnant. But come on up stairs and get in some of my clothes. You haven ' t even a coat. What are you talking about, G. A. ? A sleeve might do for my whole suit. Well, if you are so fastidious, my son, who is at William and Mary now, has some clothes tipstairs that will just about fit you. Thank you, G. A., I said, and followed him up the steps. When I came down, an hour later, clean and in a stylish suit, not even G. A. knew me, but I soon made myself known to him by telling him I was hungry. As usual, he muttered, but he couldn ' t daunt me,- for I had asked for 28 many a meal before. He ordered the best in the house for me, and I feasted like a prince. Leaving the dining hall, I selected a choice Havana, and puffing away, I sat down to read the afternoon paper. In large headlines I saw that Edwin F. Shewinake would that night present the Merchant of Venice, he himself acting the part of Shylock. Well, I ' ll have to bum a ticket to that, I muttered. Kising, I laid dovm the paper and commenced strolling around the lobby. I soon tired of this, and went out and stood upon the street. A large bus rolled up in front of the door, and several men and women stepped out. I thought that the voice and manner of the leader were familiar. So I followed the group to the register ' s desk, and when I saw the leader register E. F. Shewmake, I stepped up with extended hand, and made myself known to him. We had hardly begun our conversation about college days, when three men entered the lobby, evi- dently much elated. As we were leaning over the clerk ' s desk, it was an easy matter for us to read their names as they registered. Imagine our surprise when we found that they were S. A. McDonald , H. G. Carter, and my old travelling companion, Jess Ewell, who had undergone such a remarkable transformation, by using the contents of my purse, that I scarcely recognized him; and he did not have the faintest idea as to who I was. But Shewmake and I made ourselves known to them, and as soon as Jess recognized me, he gave me a wink. I took his hint for silence, and all of us went on laughing over reminiscences of college days. I broke this round of pleasant talk by asking Mac how he happened to be in Eeno. Well, I am killing two birds with one stone, said he. I am closing several large contracts with hotels here for supplying them with poultry, and I also have a meeting of the State Democratic Committee to-morrow morning. Still up to your politics and chicken business, are you, Mac? And what are you doing, Carter ? This will tell you, he said, as he pulled from his pocket a copy of the college magazine, which I had already seen. What have you been doing, Jess ? I asked, giving him a wink. Oh, I have been travelling as a gentleman of leisure, he laughed. But I expect to hang out my shingle here in Nevada. You know I graduated in law at the University of Virginia, but, owing to ill-health, my doctors advised me to rough it for awhile. I liked it so well, I kept it up for years. But I intend to settle down now. Our conversation was interrupted by the entrance of two gentlemen — one 29 in clerical garb, the other with the appearance of a distinguished lawyer. Through another door G. A. entered and called out, Well, John, old boy, did you have enough to eat ? Before I could answer, he turned and I heard him greet one of the strangers, Well, Governor, what are the prospects? By the way, come up here. Here is some one you know. The Governor stcpjx ' d uj), and I recognized my old college mate, Chan- ning Hall, as he greeted me with the air of an accomplished politician — a trait which he had acquired during our college days. After speaking to all of us, he looked back and said, Parson Bismarck, why are you standing so far off ? Come up here, you know all of these fellows. The preacher stepped forward, and was immediately introduced to us all as old Bismarck Frank. Why are you honoring Keno with your presence, Bismarck? asked Boots Shewmake. I trembled in my shoes while awaiting his answer. For two reasons, he answered. My knees began to shake. Frank continued : First, to see about a call to a church in this city, and, secondly, to engage a detective to look vip a coat containing valuable bonds. It was stolen from me by a hobo, who substituted his for mine. T almost collapsed, but my old nerve returned to me, and I braced myself, confidently expecting discovery. At this moment Gab entered the lobby and advanced towards the group. G. A. introduced him to the crowd. Then Gab remarked : A queer case came up to the headquarters this evening. A trainman brought in a black broadcloth coat— all he could catch of a flying hobo. He found it contained valuable bonds made oiit in the name of one, Frank. They must be yours, Bismarck, remarked Boots, laughing. They probably are, was the imexpected answer. That is one reason for my being in Reno, as I told you before. Gab was much surprised at this, but promised to take the proper means of identifying the coat. I was greatly relieved and laughed with the rest. Hearing the door open, I turned and saw a scholarly-looking gentleman advance towards the desk. G. A. handed him a pen to register, and seeing him write the name, K. P. Birckhead, said, May I inquire, sir, if you are an alumnus of William and Mary College ? The gentleman looked astonished, and said, Yes, I left there in ' 08, but why on earth do you ask me such a question ? 30 Well, I left there in ' 08 myself, and one of my college mates was of your name. This led to a recognition, and G. A. introduced him to all the members of the group. Well, I ' ll be Georged ! This is a complete re-union, and such an acci- dental one too! remarked the Governor. All expressed amazement at such an unusual event. Just then supper was announced and G. A. insisted on every one having supper with him. After a hearty meal, Boots arose and said, Fellows, I am going to ' phone to the manager of the theatre and have a box reserved for you. I want you to see me act. After a pleasant smoke aud a chat, we repaired to the theatre. As we were leaving the hotel G. A. said, All of you are expected to come straight back from the theatre to-night, as we are going to have a class re-union in my hotel. We enjoyed the Merchant of Venice, especially the rendering of Shy- lock. The next day Boots was heralded in the Eeno papers as the greatest actor of the twentieth century. After the theatre, we retired to the hotel, and gathered around the festive board, our old president, Shewmake, presiding, and every one was in turn called upon to relate his experiences since leaving college. I must confess I did not disclose all my career, and I am sure Jess upheld his youthful reputation for straying from the truth. At any rate, he said nothing of his last experience — the pocketbook episode. Laughter and merriment over reminiscences of college days filled the night, and until the wee, small hours, the wine flowed freely. Prophet. 31 mxcix QIlaBB l o m 1 Silently thinking over days of youth, Of pictured scenes from times that are no more, Of boyhood ' s stories, joyous ;ind uncouth: I sat one night ' mid memories of yore. II With recollections of life ' s sweetest dreams, Into the dark future I floated on; No sound, no voice, no slightest spreading gleams Recalled me from those misty realms unborn. Ill Then back I swept to youth, those happy times When, like a wand ' ring child, I strayed alone. Into the forest ' mid its rustic chimes To hear the mighty pines in swaying moan. IV The winds unweary rushing o ' er their heads, A constant rhythm played with tireless heat Of boughs, while trampling through their mossy beds, I crushed the flow ' rs that grew beneath my feet. V The birds were singing all their sweetest songs To cheer the violets to gladness again. The dove, in kindest sympathy with wrongs, The little flowers suffered, moaned in pain. VI No beauty will e ' er lie within this world, My feet already weary grow, I thought. Its sights are tiresome, and fore ' er unfurled The raptures men for ages vain have sought. VII Upon the mossy couch, soothed by a breeze That shook the new May leaves, I fell asleep; And slept that freshest sleep beneath the trees: One course had nature made my hopes to keep. 32 VIII At first, but peaceful slumbers did restore My form awearied. Soon began to rise A storm that grew e ' en blacker till, no more Might Erebus compare unto those skies. IX The distant roar of thunder and bright flash Of lightning seemed to change my quiet doze Into a troubled sleep. A sudden clash! Before me stood a form of fairest pose. X A lady, ' twas, who knew no fear nor haste; She seemed so sad and turned with eyes ablaze, Which penetrated straight from soul so chaste Into the depths of mine which met her gaze. XI Her searching look then drew me quickly near. She spoke not loud but beckoned ' cross the way; I followed, still asleep, without a fear, Into a chasm beyond, where myst ' ries lay. XII A light perceived we glimmering from afar; To this we came, beheld a castle gray, Immense in structure under one great star Which made the night appear as brightest day. XIII Its doors I entered, sounds of steps along Its corridors in going from the halls To others kept it ringing with talk and song That jarred, in truth, its roof and mighty walla. XIV Herein I saw the myst ' ry dark of things. And came to know the world as other men. My lady said, I ' ll stay till death that brings Us better light than lent to mortal ken. XV We left the castle, traced again our way Into the forest black where goblins dance; And idle children coming here to play Are held o ' ernight by them in magic trance. 33 XVI 1 oped my eyes, the storm had passed away ; The day was bright ; the birds all sang in glee, For nature seemed ne ' er before so gay To one not launcheil uix)ii the tossing sea, XVII The flowers that I had the evening last In anger stepped upon, now stood unbent; I bowed and kissed, in recompense for past Misdeeds, their factes with eruel footprints rent. XVIII The sound that from the dale away, deep down Of heavy stones, now free, now grinding low. On one another rolling ' round and round. Did fall upon my ears like music slow. XIX The world is moving on belike, methought, The idler also grows then tired at last. The gleam of spires and towers graceful caught My eyes and changed my gloom to gladness fast. XX A longing filled my mind to reach this fair And far-off haven making bright the view. I rose; and ' fore me spread with blinding glare A span of crystal waters tinted blue. XXI The lake, a mirror to the dome of blue, Was dotted o ' er with tossing boats a-sail; A sight which all my soul in rapture threw, And made me long to feel the coming gale. XXII A boat so near the shore was rocking there: I put to sail, but soon upon the lake The chilling freshness from the morning air Began to make my light-clad body shake. XXIII I woke! the lamp had left me in the dark: Now through the shutters, rays the first so bright, The rising sun gave forth. The morning lark Did call me, singing songs for my delight.

Warrenton, Va. 36 History of the Class of 1909 THE task of the historian, especially of him who must chronicle the happenings of his classmates at college, is both pleasant and difficult. In years to come, when far from the dear old college, when widely separated from his classmates, and when memories of student life are but dim and shadowy, we hope this effort will give pleasure. It may be unin- teresting to the reader who is not one of our number, but to him who is so privileged, it will bring fond recollections. Three years ago, by ways that are devious and from many distant climes, we came to Ye Ancient Capital. With hearts filled with thoughts of home, we became objects of attention to the powers that be — the wily Soph. They, with imdimmed ardor and unrelaxed vigilance, taught us to dance, to sing, and to whistle, and all other kindred accomplishments. Time wore on-; examinations were met and manfully vanquished; vaca- tion came and in like manner passed away. Then we were Sophs. In lecture hall, literary assembly and on athletic field, we fought, and that right valiantly for the glory of the class and our Alma Mater. Nor were we uniformly unsuccessful, for when the present session opened, fourteem of the old class answered Here. Though some had, perforce, to remain far from the call of the old tower- bell, yet Georgia ' s tall and powerful son and Norfolk ' s most refined man appeared in due time. How we lorded it over the Soph., and bowed in mock humility to the red-capped Senior! Through quiet dells, dark-pillared paths of the woods and bright, brown fields — not alone — we wandered. With tomes great and tomes small we wrestled until the Christmas truce. No clouds darkened the horizon; no signs of change were visible then. Like the bolt from a clear summer sky, pain and sorrow were visited upon us. For in that time when men ' s hearts are gay and bright smiles illumine the faces of all, because of the coming of the Christ-child, the Father sent his visiting Death Angel and plucked from our midst our friend and fellow- student, Floyd Hughes, Jr. A true and sincere friend we have lost; a manly 37 and noble heart has ceased to throb; a voice strong and vigorous has been silenced. Thro ' iigh the many and varied duties of our daily life we go, But, oh, for the touch of a vanished hand And the sound of a voice that is still ! But now, ye classmates true, may w(! in time to come, recall with a sigh the days that have fled in which some of our little band have eagerly carried the Orange and White to victory, not on the miry gridiron alone, but also in the strife of the netted basket. Let us not forget the silver-tongued, who, vtrreathed in laurel, have upheld old ' 09 on the rostrum, nor those who, under the flare of the midnight torch, secured the power which enabled them to shout exultantly, Veni, vidi, vici, which, being liberally interpreted, we came, we saw, we overcame.

For if il he true that it i-ctjiiiiTs careftil sttnly ut ' the life ami cliarac-tcr of a man. — especiallv if he be a great one, — in order to In- his Ijiojirajiher, then how fearful is the responsihility resting njjon the ])erson who atteiii])ts to record the deeds of fifty-three such men as eonii)Ose the Freshman Class of 1908! The men of this renowned class liaxc thr ha] ])y facnlty of ap])eariug in all pUiees where ghn-y is to he gaineth On the gridiron we were ably repre- sented by iSchlossberg, Seymour, Thomas and Allison. Sehlossberg is ca])tain of the basket-ball team, and Garth and MeClandish have also done good work there. Although it is too early to say who is going to ]ilay on the baseball team, yet, judging by the sjjirit already shown by this class in uphold- ing the standing of our college, we feel justified in saying that we will also be well re])resented on the diamond. We have a good many men who are doing good work in their respective literary societies. Let us hope that they are acquiring there a fluency in oratory and an experience in debate which may helj) them in the future, when they are Senators and Governors, as we feel stire at least some of them will be. it would be unjust to omit from this histtiry some mention of the good work done by some members of our class in that most important of college cotirses, viz.. the ])ursuit of calico. The hearts of the fair damsels of Williams- burg have been sadly lacerated by Cupid ' s arrows, shot by the eyes of Messrs. Thorns, Yancey, Jones and Ilawls — the last named being es]iecially proficient in this warfare. But there must be an end to all things. Father Time is speeding swiftly on his flight, and soon it will be time for us to disband. We look forward to that occasion with mingled feelings of pleasure and j)ain — pleasure when we think of the sweet compani(mship of friends and loved ones at home; pain when we realize that a great many of those whom we have learned to love will not return to our ranks ue.xt year, but will go otit to take their places on the battle-ground of life. Bttt, wherever we may be placed, or however far away we may wander, time shall deepen and render more hallowed the fond and tender memori( s that cluster around every thought of the college year of 1908.

As Mother Earth wakes from her sleep and sends forth her blades of grass and flowers, and as the trees send forth their blossoming buds to answer the call of spring, so we too, at the call of God and man, have awakened from our thoughtless sleep, and, realizing ovir duty to self and fellow-men, we are putting forth our best efforts to perform it well. We, the blossoming buds of the great tree of learning, give promise, by the tender care of our Alma Mater, of soon turning to ripened fruit ; and, like the Seniors, we shall some day go forth into the world to be a blessing to our fellow-men. Our class is not as well represented in athletics as some of the other classes, but although we may not tiirn out many great athletes now, we hope to put forth, next year, some men that will speak well for our class and bring honor to our institution. We were ably represented on the gridiron last season by R. Bruce Barber, the fast end on the ' Varsity. He is also our star representative in baseball and track athletics. Others of our class who have distingiiished themselves in this phase of college life are Messrs. Byrd and Burwind. The last named has a reputation for cross-country running. It must be remembered that, while we have not yet achieved so many honors in college affairs, it is safe to prophesy that we have the material for real, live college men, as evidenced by the start that many of us have taken in Y. M. C. A., class room and literary society work. It is from our ranks that William and Mary must draw chiefly to get her upper classmen in the not far distant future. May this short sketch suflice for our history now, and as time moves on and we draw nearer to our promised goal, we shall let you hear more of us. Historian. 55 Colors: F. II. (liven and P. L.

' %tBt Wi iFargft ' Nation, doth thou care what other days may bring; Whether freedom reign or tyranny be king? Retrace the servile steps thy sires have taken, And view the empires and thrones they have shaken! Hast thou not more from heav ' n and more to make thee stay Than they who groped along and fought to find their way? Cans ' t thou forget so soon their gifts and noble deeds, When battles rage, and most of all thy spirit needs Their never dying faith and force to brave the fight Which thou must ere long wage for freedom and for right? Dost thou not know thyself the shining spire which rose Through ceaseless rising o ' er thy mighty foreign foes? Fen though thy passing age be fill ' d with moil and fears — Cans ' t not their spirits guide thee thru thy future years? Ah, yes! their sacred souls can never pass away. But ever live as though they lived but yesterday. And storms that sound their noise will cease — each angry roar Wilt mellow down in peaceful breeze, until it soar Like sweetest words of Siren ' s song and sound afar. Into our ears; and when the Heaven ' s gate ' s ajar. The soft and balmy air that thick with hate above Wilt crystallize in time with drops of purest love; And where the sky, now dim with gathering haze and hard Wilt clear away to show the smiling face of God. Gaus h. Haddon .Johnson ' . 62 Mr. Singleton ' s Vote YGU ' SE beat, Mistah Singleton, — deed yuh is. I have beared some tawk aence I come tub town dis mawnin ' , an ' dey got juh. Hit ' s de fus ' time, Mistab Singleton; but, but dey got yub now, — But, Brer Curry, — Nemmine, yub lis ' en tub me; dey g wine make yub cbeermun ob de meetin ' an ' tie you ' ban ' s fub sbo ' . It was Couuty Convention Day in one of tbe coimties in wbat was known as tbe Black Belt of Virginia, and the county seat was crowded with politi- cians of a sable hue. Tbe object of tbe convention was to elect a delegate to the Congressional Convention in Petersburg, tbe largest town in tbe district; and two patriotic citizens were discussing the chance of one of them for elec- tion. Bob Singleton bad never missed a State or District Convention of his party since be became a voter, although numerous schemes bad been set on foot to defeat him at different times. As was bis custom be was now a candi- date. Among his nuinerous henchmen in the coimty none did more effective work than Abe Curry. Abe bad been with Mistah Singleton in every fight, and victory in many instances had been due to bis efforts, both on tbe stump and off. It was said of Abe that he had a list of voters in bis county, and be could tell at a glance just what inducement each man required in order to vote right when the time came. Now Abe bad just finished a tour of inspection for Singleton, and bad returned with tbe discouraging news that his boss was a loser. Curry was no pessimist. It is not characteristic of bis race, and racial instincts and in- clinations were exceedingly strong in him. Singleton ' s fences were in bad shape sure enough ; and, while Curry knew, yet be was too shrewd a politician and too much of a friend to his chieftain to tell him tbe reason. Tbe cause of tbe trouble was this: Mr. Singleton had married a wife, — a second wife, and this in spite of the admonitions of his friends and self-constituted advisers, who, like old Nokomis, bad warned him against taking a wife from a strange tribe. After tbe marriage all might have been forgiven, but tbe new Mrs. Singleton was an inveterate gossip, and had made much trouble in the settlement in which she lived. The consequence was that Mr. Singleton ' s political horizon became clouded. Tbe delegates gathered thick and fast, and Mr. Singleton was kept busy 63 bowing to the right and to the left; but it was noticeable that few of his old- time friends remained in his neighborhood any length of time. Presently Bob motioned to his lieutenant and togcjther they sauntered around back of the jail. Picking out a friendly angle formed by the intersection of the jail wall and a line fence, they went into close conference. Brer Curry, said Singleton seriously, — we jes ' got tub win dis fight. Hyuh I ben in politicks sence de War, an ' dey ain ' t downed me wunst. I ' s a ' ol ' bird, I is; an ' I ain ' t g-wine tub let no cock-sparrers beat me in dis con- venshun. Hit ' s two hou ' s ' fo ' we meets, an ' , — Brer Curry, — looking around cautiously and producing a roll of bills of modest proportions from his pocket, — ' see how fur dat ' ll go. ' Co ' se, I ain ' t savin ' do nothin ' wrong, — but, — Brer Curry, we — we — we — we gottuh win dis fight. For the next two hours Brer Curry was perniciously active. Few in- deed were the delegates that he did not see personally ; but as thorough as was his canvass and as forceful as were his interviews, he saw that his old friend was in danger and would have an uphiU fight. He went back disconsolately to Singleton. Mistah Singleton, I ' s ' fraid we ' s goners dis time. Yuh ' d be s ' prised at de men dat ' s gone back on yuh. Why, sah, 1 was a-passin ' by Cicero Cyarter, an ' I says, ' Cicero, I want tuh see yuh. ' An ' what yuh s ' pose he said? He says, ' I ' m sorry, Brer Curry, but I ' ve ben sawn. ' Dat ' s all right, Brer Curry, yuh ' s chicken-hearted sometimes. Jes ' watch me. In de fus ' place dis convenshun ain ' t gwiue meet at twelve ' clock. De County Cheerman done had one too many drinks ob gin, an ' tuh save his life he cain ' t git over it twel one ' clock ; den I ' ll be ready fuh ' em. Yuh is all right, Mistah Singleton, but dey got de votes ; how yuh gwine git ' em away f ' om ' em? Mr. Singleton slowly vsdnked one eye and stroked his whiskers in true Machiavelian fashion. Brer Curry, dey thinks dey got me beat ' an ' dey ' s stopped wukkin ' . Dar ' s whar I got ' em whar de hyar ' s short. I ' m gwine beat ' em, sah, an ' dey ain ' t gwiue know ' bout it twel hit ' s too late tuh mend it. Now, dat ' s a parable. Sure enough the convention did not meet imtil one o ' clock. The body con- sisted of forty-four members made up of delegates selected from the four magis- terial districts into which the county was divided. Of the nine delegates from Zion District Mr. Singleton was one. A few minutes after one o ' clock the party chairman of the county, Moses Weston, rapped his gavel and called the meet- 64 ing to order. His opening remarks were brief and rather disconnected. He said: Feller citizens, I ' s a leetle sleepy dis mawnin ' . I ben tuh a lawn party. Me an ' Brer Singleton, — He felt a sharp pull at his coat tails and sat down. Daniel Deronda Johnson, who realized Weston ' s condition, rose to the occasion and announced the object of the meeting. I ' ll hyuh nominashuns fuh perm ' nent cheerman. Marcus Bender, a gingerbread darky, rose in his place and solemnly nominated Mr. Singleton. This came as a surprise to the Singleton forces, because Bender was opposing him bitterly ; and Singleton ' s friends knew what a power he was on the floor when the ballot was being taken. His persuasive- ness had raked many an election out of the ashes, so to speak. Ephraim Matthews nodded frantically to Singleton not to take it. A dozen of his sup- porters started towards him, but before they could reach him the vote was put, and he was declared elected, the chairman of the convention. He strode majestically to the rostrum and took up the gavel. It was unnecessary to use that implement of parliamentary warfare. The crowd was all attention. Feller citizens, I ' m hyuh tuh ack, not tuh tawk. I ain ' t much of a tawker nohow, an ' den a residin ' officer ain ' t got no bizness sayin ' nothin ' twel the time come. We is hyuh to scleck a delegate dat goes tuh Petersburg tuh seleck a Corngressman dat goes tuh Washin ' ton tuh run a gub-ment dat could git ' long ' dout any ob us. All we want is a free ballot an ' a fyar coimt. I ' ll hyuh nominashuns fuh delegate. I nominates Robert Singleton, Esquire, said Brer Curry. I sekind de motion, cried a dozen voices. I places in nominashun de name ob Mister Isaiah Pickett, said another. I sekinds de motion, yelled Bender; an ' I perpose three cheers fuh Mister Pickett. A round of cheers was given with such a will that poor Mr. Singleton ' s chances seemed gone altogether. The roll call proceeded. The call had not progi-essed far before it was evident that Pickett had the lead. This lead he maintained from start to finish; and, although it worried Mr. Singleton ' s supporters, it did not affect that gentleman in the least. He listened to the monotonous call with studied patience, and once or twice he almost smiled. His noble bearing in defeat was 65 a great consolation to his followers. When the last name had been called and the secretary was adding up the result there was a mighty silence in the room. Finally the secretary, as if hesitating to wound the chairman ' s feelings, whispered the result to him hoarsely: Pickett, 22; Singleton, 21. A howl went up from Pickett ' s supporters, who already knew the result. They jeered at Singleton ' s men. The great politician was at last conquered. Somebody had belled the cat. It took several minutes to restore order, although the chairman seemed perfectly willing to let the crowd have its fling. After a while, however, Singleton began to pound with his gavel, — Order, order, gent ' men. Let the cheermim read the result ob de ballot; ' tain ' t been legally ' nounced yit. I tin ' the ballot stan ' s, Pickett, 22 ; Singleton, 21 Dat ' s right, yelled a delegate, — sho ' it do; three cheers fuh Mister Pickett. Mistah Pickett ' pears tub be ' lected; but hoi ' on. As a delegate f ' om Zion Deestrict I ain ' t voted. I has a vote as sich, an ' I casts dat vote fuh Mistah Singleton. Dar, I done tied it. Now, as cheermun ob dis meetin ' I also has a vote in case ob a tie, an ' I votes as cheermun fuh Mistah Singleton. Dar, I don ontied it. An ' I ' cordin ' ly declar ' s Mistah Robert Singleton duly ' lected delegate tuh rep ' scnt dis county in the convenshun at Petersbu ' g. De meetin ' stan ' s ' joumed. John Weymouth. ee W. S.

This room was nsi d nntil, n])on comjiletion of the Gyui- nasiiim, we moved into our i)r(senl commodious (jnarters. It is hardly n(cessary to say that, since the institution of the Y. I. C. A. in this college, the moral tone has steadily advanced and that the standards of right have been raised. The men have taken more interest in religious affairs and have come to realize, vei ' v forcibly, that the manhood of Christian men is greater than that of those who follow the dictates of jwwers not Christ- like. A reception was given on the evening of September : 4th, at which the new students were fully informed as to the different jihases of college activity and especially of the claims of the V. 31. C. A. Speeches were made l)y members of the faculty, of the towni clergy, of the alumni and of the student i)ody. The ladies of AVilliamsburg aided the organization materially to make this a successful atfair. To every one who aided in any way whatsoever, our congratulations are extended for the ])leasant evening which was spent by the students. Without this cooperation, it would have been a flat failure. The Bible Classes were organized, early in the session, under !Mr. Ebell, the chairman of the Bible study committee. They have been doing good work and are sources of inspiration to many of the students. Dr. T). W. AVeatherford, International Student Secretary, visited the college during the month of February and gave us nearly a week of his time. He and ifr. C. C. IcXeil, the state secretary for college work, instilled renewed vigor into the A ' . M. C. A., and, as a direct result, seventy-five new men were enrolled in Bible study classes. (Jnni])s were organized in the fraternity halls and private boarding houses. The regiilar weekly meetings of the association, in i ast sessions, were hid 1 on Sunday afternoon, but for many and varifd reasons the interest in and attendance njion these meetings was not as great as could be expected. It was 102 decided to hold the meetings this year on Tuesday night and to limit them to a thirty minutes ' service. This change has proved highly beneficial; more students finding it convenient to attend, and to take an intelligent interest in the services. Dr. Hall, dean of the faculty, Dr. Bishop, the faculty representative and many other professors have, from time to time, delivered strong and helpful addresses. The clergy of the town churches have very willingly seconded our efforts and have given churchly and spiritual talks before the association. That these addresses and talks have been highly appreciated, we need not say, for without the aid of these loyal friends the work would be hopelessly hampered. In connection with the regular Tuesday evening services, there have been four special ones. Mr. L. A. Coulter, State Secretary, visited the college during the mouth of November. He held two services, for students, in the Y. M. C. A. Hall and on Sunday evening, November I7th, a service, to which the general public was invited, at which he discussed the history, aims and growth of the association. Many persons in the audience learned, for the first time, what the work of the Y. M. C. A. really stands for, and what strides the association has made since it was founded by Sir George Williams. Mr. Shepperson, of the Richmond Theological Seminary, presented the claims of the Ministry of God, in a very forceful and convincing manner, to the students on the evening of February 2nd. A series of meetings looking toward the deepening of the spiritual life through prayer and service was held under Y. M. C. A. auspices by the Rev. Mr. Merritt, pastor of the Methodist Church. The most beneficial special meeting held during the present term was conducted by Dr. D. W. Weather- ford. He delivered a series of three addresses which engaged the attention of nearly every student in college and has benefited many of the boys in a very signal maimer. Mr. C. C. Bell, chairman of the Mission study committee, has organized several mission study classes and has placed competent and enthusiastic men in charge of them. The different phases of mission activity are presented and the fields in which missionaries are endeavoring to break the night of heathen darkness are studied. The men bring in reports on assigned subjects; the subjects being such as to show clearly the needs of the field; its capacities for development; the modes of work pursued and the results, both direct and indirect. The men enrolled in this department claim that they would have known but very little in regard to missions if the groups had not been organized. The association conference held at Asheville, N. C, last summer was 103 very enjoyable and instructive. Our delegates, Messrs. C. C. Bell and A. R. Koontz, reported in a very enthusiastic vein. That they were benefited by the conference is evident by the vigorous and intelligent way in which they are doing their Y. I. C. A. work this year. Messrs. H. P. Fox, W. B. Lee., Jr., J. G. Unruh, A. R. Koontz, and A. II. Thouis represented William and Mary at the convention held in Lynch- burg. The hospitable reception and the tone of spirituality which marked this meeting were especially commented upon. We feel that they will use the knowledge gained at that time to good advantage here. We believe that the good-natured rivalry between the different college delegations which prevails at the Asheville conference is very pleasant. The atmosphere of Christian fellowship and of spirituality which exists there makes a deep and permanent impression on evei-y one who attends this convention. Every man in college would be benefited very materially by attending the Asheville conference this year; but since every one cannot go, a delegation consisting of at least five men must represent Old William and Mary. The president of the Y. M. C. A. feels that we can send such a delegation and asks that every student give to this object his hearty cooperation. The Y ' oung Men ' s Christian Association, being a non-denominational organization, can and does claim the allegiance of every Christian man in college. Each man, no matter what his church preference may be, should take an active part in its work, in so far as he may be able. The gro vth of the association has been marvelous. In 1841, there were but twelve members, whereas to-day it numbers hundreds of thousands of men and boys of every race, nationality and condition. The light of the Gospel is carried by conse- crated workers to inaccessible mining and lumbering camps, crowded centers of population in Europe, and the student centers of India. There is hardly a nation which cannot boast that the Y. M. C. A. is working in its midst. This is the direct result of Personal contact, united prayer, and the study of the Bible. 104 Jokes | Cu ' ftldlS, APTLY QUOTED Lord, Lord, how subject we old men are to the vice of lying. — Jesse Ewell.

LiNDSLET. 108 The Train That Never Returned EIGHT years ago Hugh McCulloch said good-bye to one of the sweetest mothers and kindest fathers that a boy could wish to have. He was going away from a home where only the best and purest influences had j)layed a part in his life ; he was leaving one of those ideal country homes where a boy bathes in the brightest sunlight, breathes the purest air, and develops the mind that some day guides the ship of state. He was going off to college where he would meet with every temptation that comes to a young man; where he would have his own battles to fight, his own victories to win, and his own defeats to suffer. No longer would mother and father be near to chide him, to defend his cause, and to keep him always in the straight and narrow way. It was the idol of a mother ' s ?nd the pride of a father ' s heart, that was thus being exposed to the attacks of a selfish and sinful world. Would he resist and be- come a man, or would he be led away by the sins that do so easily beset ? The answer came, and it came like a crash to two proud and hopefiil hearts. The same question is being answered every day all around us. The qiiestion: Does it pay to keep a boy away from the temptations of the world, when he must some day live alone in the midst of fiercest kinds ? Hugh ' s intentions were no doubt good, and he started out in the proper way, but the glaring light of the things which proved his undoing were more than he could resist. Before their mighty influence he forgot what his parting promise was to the girl who had always known his every thought. His perfect manners, good tastes, aft ' alile disposition, and handsome face won for him an enviable position, and swept him on to a vanity that quite overleaped itself. In his vain pursuits and idle show he more than lost sight of the true purpose that had brought him hither. He drifted from bad to worse ; and before the session closed the faculty requested him to withdraw. He complied with their request, but he could not go home and face the grieved ones there, for his conscience hurt him, and he realized too late what a stigma he had placed in the way of his parents ' good name. He also knew that along with the kind and easy disposition of his father there was a stern and cold side also, and that he would never be man enough to meet him when the latent elements of that dis- position rose up against him. He was out in the world alone and far from any one who cared for him ; perhaps he even forgot that n mother ' s prayers were daily going up to God to spare her only boy. Ath] that a sweetheart ' s brightest hopes had been crushed to earth. 109 His were great hojx s when he left the country for college. He had planned to study diligently and become a great man; to some day be a learned and competent lawyer; he had talked of his future to Constance Leachmau, and she had with no little interest listened to him. If he could only see her now, he would i)crha])s know bettei- what to do. He would tell her how the gay side of college life had swept him oif his feet, how he had neglected his work, and how he dreaded going home. She had always helped him; why couldn ' t she help him now? He blushed as he thought of what going back meant. For he could never do that, and he had little money, and no means of obtaining more. He resolved to start for somewhere the next day ; he didn ' t care where, he only wanted it to be far from any place he had ever been, and where no one who had known him would ever hear of Hugh McCulloch again. He walked over to his window; and, looking out into the treacherous world, shuddered as he thought of the morrow and his aimless leap. If he might only go home and make a new start ! There was something in the breath of spring, tainted though it was by memories from the recent past, that made him wish to be back in the old coimtry home in the bygone days when home was a hallowed spot and not a place to dread. The hour was fast approaching that no longer brought pleasure to his soiil, the hour when the long evening shadows change into the purple uight. To-morrow would find him on his way to the West. He would get a ticket as far as his money could take him, and would there do anything that he could for a living. His mother and father bad written him to come home, that they were willing to help him, and anxious to have him with them once more; but it only increased his misery, and made him more melancholy, to think how much he had already humbled their pride and blighted their hopes. No, he would go where his waywardness could bring them no further sorrow. The next day foimd him on his way to Hadley, where he would change cars for the great Western Railroad, which would take him to San Dahomey, the end of his journey. As he stepped from the cars at Hadley he looked squarely into the eyes of Constance Leachman ; the surprise was mutual, but the en- counter was more than iMcCulloch had anticipated ; he blushed at facing a friend of his brighter days ; and what made the trial even harder for him, was the calm, cool manner in which she received him. It seemed that Constance was going to a quiet little watering-place about ninety miles from Hadley, and was waiting for the same train on which Hugh would leave. 110 During the few minutes they had to wait before the great Express came tearing in, they indulged in a more or less personal conversation; just what one might have expected from two persons who had known each other as long as they had. Constance could not help but look sympathetically into the face she had so often admiringly surveyed, while Hugh told her his sad story. She tried to act indiiferently, but when she saw the heavy lines on his brow, the quiver on his lips, and the rosy hue all gone from his cheek, she could not help but feel tenderly towards the man she had once loved so well. Hugh MeCulloch, she said, you have almost made me wish that I would never see you again. Is it possible that you have no more manhood in you than you ha -e shown i I once thought you were going to be a man that the world would be pleased with, and I would be proud to call my friend; and now you have thrown it all away. I wonder if it is the disappointment to you that it is to your friends? Just then the whistle blew, announcing the approach of their train to the station. In the hurry to get aboard, Hugh escaped the necessity of having to answer the query that Constance had placed. But her words had penetrated deep into his mind; he could not soon forget them; they would come to him in many a sad and lonely hour in the future. He helped her into the train, and they found a place where they might sit together, and spend the last two hours of their companionship undisturbed. Hugh ' s heart rose up in his throat and gave a tingle to his words, so evident that he refrained from speaking for some minutes. While his eyes feasted on the vision in white by his side, she was intently gazing out of the window, her hands clasped, with the brightest brown eyes that ever sparkled be neath a forehead of Pentelican whiteness, dark brown and waving hair gathered less in curls than masses about her neck. As the minutes fleeted by Hugh felt that some powerful demon was rolling him far out of the world that was once so sweet to him ; that the time had now come when his heart had to be laid bare before a most susceptible and cold- hearted humanity. Nature seemed only mockingly beautiful. The long rays of the sinking sun sent their penetrating glances thi ' ough the realms of space ; they even dared to touch the hem of her garment, and to steal through her waving hair and make it seem darker than it really was. Turning to him, she said, What a gorgeous afternoon! Can one help admiring it, Hugh? Don ' t remind me of that, he said; think how unhappy I will be when 111 T am far away toward the west, where no one knows me, cares for me, or even wishes me well. O Hugh, von are only going home, aren ' t you ? was her hasty reply. I am going on a long, long journey, Constance. I have made a failure of everything I ever undertook; I have lost the esteem of my friends; I am no longer a welcome guest where T was once so wont to find myself ; no, home bears its slings and arrows for me now. What can I do? where can I go? Without means, without friends, and without a home, I am a castaway on the face of the earth. God alone knows where I am going, or what will become of me. But it cau be no harm for me to tell you now, since in a few minutes you will have reached the end of your journey, that my thoughts of you will be my only happy moments, and I shall always think of you and love you with all my heart. And taking from his fingers his only piece of jewelry, a seal ring, he asks, Will you take this, and think of the giver sometimes ? Yes, I will do that, Hiigh. I am sorry you are running away like this; you will regret it some day. Hut you have one friend left, and you may depend on her ; she believes you can make a man of yourself yet, and she wants to hear of you as a great man some day; don ' t disappoint her. This is my station; good-bye, Hugh, you had better go home. Hugh followed her to the platform, and saw her disappear through the door of the great dejiot. Then he strolled slowly back into the ear, and to the seat where they had spent their last happy moments together. His thoughts ran back into the past when he had held her in his arms, and swoni to be her champion through life. Yes, she was gone: but he could not, he would not, forget her; she formed about him an irrcsiptil)le power of attraction. He would prove to her that her last words to him were correct ; she would hear of him as a gi ' eat man, and when fortune had smiled upon him he would come to her. Constance had not grown cold to the love she once felt for Hugh Mc- Culloch ; it could easily be fanned from a feeble spark into a glowing flame once more. A mental image was ever before her. She could see a tall, hand- some lad yet in his ' teens, with a most soldierly air, who, althoxigh very young, had all the savoir-vivre so coimnendable in man; this, tempered with perfect good taste, and accompanied by a most powerful physiqiie, and no little talent, was the picture that Hugh presented when he left home; she preferred to remember him as he was then. He had written to her quite often since he left, and each time his letter was more hopeful than the preceding one. Weeks, months, and two years roll by before Hugh leaves San Dahomey. He has done so well there that the government assigns him to a five years ' 112 engagement in Mexico. It will be hard for him, as no furlough will be granted during the time; but the salary is large, and he will be independent when his release comes. He has always remembered his parents since fortune began to favor him, and now they are especially glad since the time for his return is drawing near. This evening Constance Leachman is especially happy, for in a month Hugh will be home. In a far distant land, in Mexi co, an engineer is tossing on his bed, a terrible fever is fast burning out his life. His thoughts wander back to Old Virginia. God knows how he longs to be there. By his side are a few letters and a girl ' s photograph. For a little while be regains consciousness, and call- ing to the only friend into whose face he has looked for seven years, he says, You have been true to me, Dick; we have shared our joys and sorrows to- gether. I know I have only a few minutes to be with you; promise me one thing ere I go. And Dick, with the teai ' s rolling down his cheeks, says : I promise. Dick, her last letter has not come yet, but I know she is still true ; Dick, she is waiting for me, and I will answer a roll call far away to-night. Bury those things (pointing to the letters and pictures) with me. Take me ba ck to 01d Virginia and bury me in the soil that gave me birth. And, Dick, tell her my last thoughts were of her, and that I loved her to the end. O Dick ! I can ' t stand to think that I have disappointed her. Will you try to soothe her if it breaks her noble heart? Good-bye, Dick, my faithful friend. And there in the last hours of the afternoon, only one month before he is to return, his gallant comrade bends over and kisses him, and the last rays of the setting sun fall on the calm and peaceful face of Hugh McCuUoch, lying dead. Dick carries him back to Old Virginia, and places him beneath the soil he loved so well. This evening Constance Leachman is watching the train go past, but not with her old-time brightness. You would not s ognize the face. Underneath her black robe one can see, upon her dainty little hand, the gleam of a ring. If he had only lived, she softly says. Silently she goes to the grave of her hero, and, kneeling at the marble shaft at his head, she whispers the one word, Hugh. We found her there, and no one would dare say she was not happy, for the smile on her faciC told us that she was with Hugh and the angels, where there is no uncertainty to disappoint. q A.

Baddon Johnson. 116 A Athletics THE question is often asked why it is that colleges attach so much im- portance to athletics in general, and athletic contests in particular. Why- is it that men, wearing upon their countenances the marks of many years, and often carrying gray hairs upon their heads, should resort to such childish things as ball games, track-running, etc., etc., to pass away so much precious time? Could not men add more to the financial and intellectual strength of our country if they would spend more time studying books and problems, and less to chasing each other up and down an athletic field ? Perhaps they could ; but no one can doubt that the future of our people depends largely on the way they preserve and develop the physical man. A few years of almost incessant study may bring to light the admirable and wonderful mind powers of some honest and ambitious student, or it may make him the pitiable victim of stupor and disease which blight his happiness and rob him ultimately of all that his once fertile mind had conceived and promised him. Man must have physical training, open-air exercise, if he would in the end render a larger service and enjoy the full blessings of health and life. This does not mean that the primary duty of man is to become a physical giant; far from it. Any reasonable man should know how to subordinate the lesser things to the greater. Athletics should be engaged in as a means to an end. One cannot claim to be an accomplished and useful citizen who can master only the throwing of a baseball, or the kicking of a football. But the theory and practice of life is to so cultivate physical habits that the mind may not be circumscribed in its action and made subject to a shattei-ed and disorderly nervous system. It is the old proverb, A soimd mind in a sound body. And thus we would defend athletics. There is, however, another objection sometimes advanced concerning inter- collegiate athletics. Perhaps this objection is well founded. But man is such a creature that he must do those things which interest him most. He likes a little rivalry, otherwise he will not even work for his own preservation and develop- ment. And hence we justify briefly the present spirit for this kind of inter- collegiate relationship. It is not without a good deal of pride and pleasure, then, that we attempt to record what we have done in athletics at our beloved old institution during the present session. Especially is this true in view of the fact that, although 117 we have been for over two hundred years a college of high standing in almost every phase of collogc life, it has been only in the last ten years that William and Mary has recognized the importance, even the necessity, of having strong athletic teams to compete with her sister institutions in the various forms of athletics. But in this ten years we have shaken off the dust of antiquity, and have recognized this phase of college life to such an extent that no longer are we a back number when the time comes to award the championship in the Eastern Intercollegiate Association. Let us look back over the past three years that we may justify this statement. In the fall of 1905 we tied Randolph- Macon for first place in football. The following spring we tied Hampden- Sidney in baseball. In the spring of 1906 we again tied Hampden-Sidney, but lost the game that was to decide the tie. In the spring of 1907 we won the championship in baseball. And in the fall of 1907 we tied Richmond College for first place in football. Our football record during the present session is one (excepting the first and last game) that we may well be proud of. With all games from home and with the lightest team in the league, we stand side by side with our old-time rival, Richmond College. Our basket-ball record falls far below that of last year, owing to the fact that the team was composed almost entirely of new men. Be that as it may, our record as a whole is a good one, when we know that in the three years we have had a basket-ball team in the field, we have been for two years cham- pions of the State. Fresh in our memory lingers the victory of our relay team over Randolph- Macon, Saturday, March 21st. In this, the latest, form of athletics in the South, William and Mary has taken a creditable standing among the other colleges. And let us urge her on with lusty college yells. Before this editorial will have reached you, our baseball record will be among the events of the past. It looks at present as if the boys upholding tne orange and black on the diamond will put up a strong fight to hold their place as champions in the Eastern League. With every championship game on home grounds and as loyal a body of students as any institution can claim, we may well prophesy the coming of another cup to accompany our many relicts of the past, and all the glory which athletics can bring to a college. 118 Athletic Department OFFICERS C.

CREEK MORE 124 An (3ht to ®ur i?ar l xaUsBoxB In the chapel bright and early, With our hair all fussed and curly. We gather round each morning, With no vast amount of glee; — Yet it is some compensation, If in his exalted station, The beaming face o ' the President We happen there to see. Round him circle all his gallants, With their heads chock full of talents, With eyes east down benevolent. They gaze on you and me; Though their glance is penetrating. And their speech is fluxuating. They could rule a mighty nation, And could conquer all the sea. Doctor Keeble still is smiling. His bewitching ways beguiling. While Physics in his head goes round With high velocity; Still his smiles are surely winning. To the Freshman just beginning, His troubles in the Physics world, Best known to you and me. Doctor Stubbs, when they are through, sir. Has a word to say to you, sir, And the sin of A times ninety-six Is always twenty-three; You may think him aggravated. Which you had not contemplated. And you feel quite agitated. Though the truth you plainly see. Doctor Hall now feels quite funny. And his jokes would sell for money; Makes you feel all life is sunny. With a highland-fling or two; But, look out, he ' ll catch you napping. With his finger he ' ll come tapping. While a fools-cap he is wrapping. With an English clause for you. 126 Doctor Bennett ' s education, Dates clear back to Carrie Nation, And o ' erwlielming his aggregation, With his great Philosophy; He could not be substituted By your great and high-faluted Tutor of the king of France, Nor of England ' s majesty. Doctor Wilson over yonder, With his Shakespeare makes you wonder If you ' re not the biggest fool in all His thrilling tragedy; With his History he will fix you. With his dates he ' ll surely mix you, With a smile he ' ll coyly trick you. Till you wonder where you be. Doc Montgomery has you fated. Till your Latin is translated. And your troubles briefly stated In his ear so honestly; If these words you leave unspoken, Think not that his heart is broken. Study hall is just a token, That you ' re doing handsomely. Doctor Bridges ' clear complexion, To dear nature ' s true reflection, And his statue ' s like a Grecian god In all its ecstasy; Though in Civics you may curl him. Economics justly furl him, Yet he ' s got you in the morning, If at chapel you can ' t be. Doctor Bishop ' s organ playing. Well, I can ' t express by saying That the music pealing upward Reaches past sublimity; While his French I ' m recommending, With his German hard contending, His Greek and other languages Are too much for such as me. 126 Doctor Crawford ' s disposition, With his art of composition. And his musical ability. Is kno vn from sea to sea; Even (;il)son ' s left behind him, And Caruso ' s voice can ' t find him. Yet with ties of love we bind him To old William and Mary. Doctor Louthan still entices, If you stick to his advices, You will wear a crown of glory. Or will rule the peasantry; Greek to him ' s the constitution, Which brought on the revolution. While the hardest Latin phrases Are to him just too E Z. Doctor Ritchie ' s erudition. Mixed witli bug and grass tradition, Really got him his position, But that ' s just ' tween you and me; He can reach up in the toppers. And bring down the big grasshoppers. While for the eagle ' s mighty floppers Not a grain of sand cares he. Doctor Garrett ' s chemic jingle Gives one ' s blood a thrilling tingle. When the fluids that we mingle Form great fireballs in the air; Though on his examination, Which calls forth much contemplation, Our most fluent explanation Seems to vanish everywhere. Some of us get the session. Others ofl ' er their oppression. And end up in dispossession. Which we always hate to see; Let lis hope that gloomy feeling, Nor the crime of chicken stealing, Nor that homeward reekly reeling, Shall descend on you and me. Now your curious nature ' s risin ' . Guess you ' d give the verses pisen. And you ' d like to know who wrote this Drolling, slow conglomery; Shall T tell you who composed it, And in search of wealth exposed it ? Well then, one of them was Milton Poe, The other one was me. The Skeptic. 127 It is Rumored That Self has not yet learned wisdom from his experience with the radiator. That, recognizing a particularly verdant spot, the cows are now looking for Due Wessels. That Bob Lee considers it against all moral laws to serve chickens under twenty-five years of age. That the greatest efforts of the members of the Leap Year Club for the Detriment of Foolish Bachelors and Widowers, organized by the Williamsburg girls, have not had any effect as yet. That in Dr. Wilson ' s autobiography, which will soon be issued from the press, he tells of his experience on the night on which Beau Haizlip hazed him. That Hopkins ' s parents have deposited with President Tyler a sum of money with which to buy Hopkins a capacity. That V. L. Arnold will return to College next season to resume his course in loafing, ' bacco bumming, criticism of football, and coach of baseball. That Thoms and Yancey have dropped German and Latin translation and exercise to have more time to spend with the Caseys. That H. P. Wall ' s Elements of Parliamentary Law will be put on sale in the Philomathean Hall as soon as issued from the press. That Dr. Keeble lost his characteristic smile while looking over the Senior Physics exam, papers. That Mundy, Birckhead and Co., Viilimited, will return next session to operate a Monte Carlo for crockaloo, poker, etc. Applications for jobs have already been received from Pete Hurst, Jerry White, Sam White, Hopkins, Phillips, Garth, and many others. That Billups will be given an assistant in the department of Boozology next session, as the work is too great for one man. Among the more promising applicants are G. A. Dovell, S. A. McDonald and Jesse Ewell. 128 Be It Resolved Thnt if T slidiild sraroh tlio wm-lil over, T sbonld imt fiml my ( ' (iiinl. — T.. C Lindslev.

As softly a peace comes o ' er my soul. For 1 am dreaming, sweetheart, of you. Faces fairest arise into view, But fairest of all are visions of ymi. From out the haz.v distance eoraes the genii of the vase With lightly floating garments and easy gentle grace; And fairies once made famous by the old Arabic lore Come bringing to me mem ' ries of the hajjpj- days of yore.

Jlemories, dearest, mem ' ries of you. Now fading from ni.y vision passes eartli. and into si.ght Comes the bright, glowing crescent of some famed Venetian night, Touching gently, gliding softl.y, all visions that I see, While from hidden harps is sounding a sweeter melody.

A FEW months ago the writer made a contribution toward the erection of a library building for the use of the College of William and Mary, which fact is so well known to the publishers of the Colonial Echo that in stating it here he feels that he is not giving anything away. On that account he is regarded as a benefactor of the institution and to that extent a benefactor of humanity. Well, maybe he is, and then again maybe he is not; it depends on the viewpoint. In early times to know how to read (which, by the way, one learns from books and that building is intended to hold books) was not thought good for the soul ; hence the art of reading was kept in the bosom of the Church where it could be used with pious discretion, and so carefully was it guarded from the masses, that any person who could read, was, if accused of crime, considered prima facie to be a clergyman and entitled to the benefit of clergy and so, exempt in certain cases from punishment. When movable types were invented, about the year 1440, and used in printing, this innovation was justly regarded by the clergy as the invention of the devil, inasmuch as it seemed probable that by means of it books would be more easily and cheaply placed within the reach of the people, and the dangerous art of reading more easily acquired. Lay governments were no whit behind the clergy in their antagonism to this invention of the devil. The French Parliament ordered the books of John Faust to be burned as the product of magic, and, in England, printing without a license was punished by whipping. Will anybody have the temerity to criticise this ? Don ' t we all know that the wisdom of our fathers is the constant theme of praise in pulpit and on platfoi-m? How much trouble would have been saved the good Kings of France and England if all printing were prohibited and all books suppressed. Thomas Jefferson received his education at the College of William and Mary and became quite familiar with books. Look at the consequences. He wrote the Declaration of Independence, the outcome of which was that this country got into a good deal of trouble with the paternal government of Great Britain, and many good people here were killed. The trouble so disgusted 155 and discouraged George the Third, that he gave up trying to do anything with the country and washed his hands of it ; and ever since it has been trying to get along the best way it could. That ' s not all, for good and pious Christian people shake their heads when they hear the name of Thomas Jefferson. They say he was a skeptic in religious matters and nobody knows where he has gone. Now all this comes from Mr. Jefferson ' s learning how to read, and knowing so much about books. The history of William and Mary shows that it was fostered under the British monarchy which tried to restrict the art of printing, and was sat upon and deprived of the tobacco tax by the people of the rebellious State of Virginia, under the lead of Patrick Henry, who knew altogether to o much about books. Thomas and Patrick no doubt meant well, and perhaps the writer meant well, too, but good intentions cut no ice, for it is a common saying that hell is paved with good intentions, and whether or not anything good is done by learning to read and putting the means of learning into the hands of others is a question. There is no need of so many buildings in the world just to hold books. All the knowledge the world contains to-day could be put into a very few buildings; the trouble is that so many people think they can tell the same thing better than anybody else ; everybody wants to tell it in his own way, and very few of ' em can tell it as it ought to be told, and so books are needlessly multiplied. Look at the mimber of arithmetics, for instance, there are in print, to cover the very few and simple rules on the subject. Ask any pxiblisher of school books how many different arithmetics there are published in the English language, and you ' ll see the look of hopeless despair that comes over his countenance as he asks you what is the number of stars in the heavens. One good book well studied and understood is worth a hundred well smattered. You may paste this in your hat. That is slang and a very common expression ; but when it is used so long and frequently as to force itself upon the recognition of the literary world as a useful and expressive phrase it will cease to be slang and will be promoted and politely termed idiomatic ; just as a rebellion became a revolution when it became successful. There is one book commonly called the good book, and many people think that is all one needs to get through the world with. That don ' t need a building to hold it. Some other people say that Shakespeare and the Bible 156 are enough for anybody to know; and they don ' t ni ' eil a IniiMing to hold them either. A certain eminent Turkish soldier, once on a time, on coming across a great library, renuirkid with sententious piety that the Koran held all the knowledge needed by mankind, and that if there was anything in those other books that was not in the Koran it was not worth knowing, so he made a bonfire of them; jtist what the French Parliament did with John Faust ' s books. So we have good Christian authority and good Mohammedan authority against having anything to do with books generally. Great and good men have lived in this cotintry and served it well, without knowing much of anything about books: George Washington left school at twelve, became the Father of his Country and Chancellor of the College of William and Mary. If you think he owed his distinguished advancement to books, you wovdd be undeceived if you heard Mrs. Washington giving him a curtain lecture and telling him how much he owed to the widow Custis. Well, all the same Washington was a great and good man, a wise man and a fine soldier, but Alexander Hamilton did his spelling for him. Wash- ington wrote his will with his own hand, and if you read it and saw the poor spelling, you ' d send him to the foot of the class. Alexander Hamilton knew a whole lot about books, and if he had known less he wouldn ' t have gotten into some of the trouble he did, for he woidd not have been Secretary of the Treasury, etc., etc. However, 1 am not going to give him away; college men get a good dial more scandal than is good for them, in Ovid. As Washington was the father of his country without nuieh or any help from books, so Commodore John Barry, who also left school about twelve, became the father of the American navy without any book learning to speak of. If you looked at his s]i( lling and his use of capital letters you ' d think you were back in the days of Chaucer. All the same, early one fine morning, on the lower Delaware, he captured a ten-gun English man-of-war, four trans- ports, and one hundred and sixteen officers and men, — a pretty good haul for twenty-seven American sailors, as a certain historian remarks. This was only one of his nuiny daring ex])loits. Like his friend Washington, he was a good man, a good citizen and a pious nutn, in spite of, or because of, his want of book learning ; I won ' t say which. Now look at the case of Commodore .lohu I ' aul Jones. He, too, left school when he was abotit tw ' elve, knowing, of course, very little about books. Had he remained ignorant of them and followed his father ' s Imsiiu ' ss of a gardener, 157 hi ' wuuld i)oi biive gutteii into all tlic iruulilc he ilid, Imi lie made the ari|iiaiiit- aiicc of books, learned French and spdkc it wc-ll ; loved filory liko a Frenelunan, became a French Chevalier, a man ut ' fasbidn and mu- nl ' the greatest rakes in Paris. Even the good Doctor Franklin, who was i iv fund of bini. could not keep him straight. The Doctor wrote a letter to a ladv friend in which, while he warnilv praised him. he also, taking the privilege of his years, earnestly warns her against the fascination df the gallant ( ' oiiinioclorc. Paul Jones was bv birth a Scottdiinan, and liv bis English enemies has bi ' eii called a pirate. What- the Knglish say al)ont hini does not very much nnitter. ' on take it, considering whence it (-(jnies. Captain Jones spent a good deal of his time -ery industriously knocking tbeir warships into kindling wood; they have a right to feel cross. Hut, even if the charge were true, 1 am not going to throw stones at Paul Jones on that account, for, according to a recent re])ort of the learned and able President Tyler of William and Mary, the college owes a ])art of its early financial start to the zeal of a Sccjtch Parson and the funds of a jiirate. Should anybody be disposed to sneer at this, the dis- tinguished President can point to the fact that the United States did not hesitate to accej)! very material aid and assistance from a ]iirate. At the battle of Xtw Orleans the ])irate Lafitte and his men fought most gallantly u])on an understanding with General Jackson that they would be permitted to reside in the country without ])rosecution or molestation for offenses. The Attorney-General never troubled them. At all event the writer feels, because of bis company, that he is to a certain extent living in a glass house, and under all the circumstances will have nothini;- at all discourtious to say about gentlemen wdiom other ])eo])le may call ]iirates. This criticism of Jones rests ti])on other grounds. In Paris Jones made the acquaintance of Jefferson, the skeptic, and Tom Paine, the atheist, the latter of whom greatly admired him, and all three were well up in knowledge of books. Where are they now, the three of them ? They all died, so far as known, without the bem tit of clergy. After all, then, do books benefit mankind ' . Does it pay to build libraries? Has the writer done any good by his contributi(in for t hat purpose? These questions may be answered by posterity or any one taking an interest in them. George Cli.xtox Batc heller, LL. D.
