in later years, Monroe dropped tlie case when tlie ired lady tired a lawyer to defend her name. Complaints about this and that, food in particular, were often voiced by the Jeffersons and Madisons of that time. The statue of Lord Botetourt, now standing on the William and Mary campus in front of the Main Building, can most certainly be linked with the College history. Purchased with funds raised by popular subscription, this memorial was exposed to the Colonial public in an atmosphere of ill feeling. A gentleman in London, irked by the lack of courtesy on the part of the Colonists in not extending a word of appreciation to him for the trouble he had taken m having the statue crated and shipped to the States from London, complained by letter to his son, who was living in Yorktown. He was in quite a huff about the matter and made his displeasure known in no uncertain fashion. This was only the beginning of trouble for old Lord Botetourt. Not long after the statue had been erected in the Capitol Building, the Revolution began. More musty records show that the Colonists demonstrated the fact that they didn ' t appreciate Great Britain or, even in marble form, anything British. This feeling they conclusively proved by knocking off the arm and head from the Lords Statue. Today, close observance will reveal how the head has been joined to the Statue. From the Capitol Building the statue was taken to the Duke of Gloucester Street and from there to its present position, where it suffers new indignities each year, stand- ing as a grotesque old man without a nose and a hand, but a loved old man nevertheless. This history of the school is filled with interesting things which have happened in an unusual past, but we have not space to tell of them. Let it be sufficient to say that we believe its delightful past is but an indication of its glorious future.
