VIRGINIA SCHOOLS WELCOME THE NATION ROM the days when the Father of His Country gave a block of stock to Liberty Hall Academy and the Author of the Declaration of Independence founded a university, Virginia always has been a leader in cultural education. Where is a military school such a challenge to a boy as in the land of Yorktown and Appomattox, the land of the Valley Campaign, New Nlarket and Winchester, Fredericksburg and the Wilderness? Where is there a sweeter culture than among the gen- tlewomen of Virginia typified in the charming atmos- phere of our schools for women? Where are the souls of boys and girls so stirred as among Virginia's thousand national shrines, clustered in the Old Dominion's fair Tidewater, her magnificent Valley, and her unrivaled mountains? Hundreds of thousands of Americans are at the fore- front in every field of achievement because in Virginia they found that splendid education which develops mind, soul, and body and makes men great and women noble. The schools are the pride of the Old Dominion, rich in their traditions, honored by their alumni, and pos- sessed of student bodies recruited from the best homes in America.
