VIRGINIA SCHOOLS WELCOME THE NATION r 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 challange to a boy as in the land of Yorktown and Appomattox, the land of the Valley Campaign, New Market and Winchester, Fredericksburg and the Wilderness? Where is there a sweeter culture than among the gentlewomen of Virginia typified in the charming atmosphere 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 Tide- water, her magnificent Valley, and her unrivaled mountains? Hundreds of thousands of Americans are at the forefront in every field of achievement because in Virginia they found that splendid education whiclydevelops mind, soul, and body and makes men great and women noble. The schools are the pride of the Old Dominion, rich in their tradi- tions, honored by their alumni, and possessed of student bodies recruited from the best holmes in America.
