BIOGRAPHIES OF PRONIINENT ALUMNI. In 1776 Samuel Stanhope Smith laid the foundation upon which Hampden-Sidney College has risen. For IIQ years she has been sending her sons into the world to propagate the principles with which she has imbued them. Their lives reflect her teachingsg and their successes or failures are hers. Below we seek to give a terse, unornamented chronicle-one which must show forth more than it reads.

All those wl1o1n we have failed to find therein, we have had to omit, although in so doing we feel that injustice may have been done to some. The nooks of references which we have had recourse to are johnson's Universal Cyclopedia fA to Appleton's American Biography, The Cyclopedia of Biblical Theological and Ecclesias- tical Literature, and I7rake's Dictionary of American Biography. The arrangement of the list is according to the chronological connection which the subjects have had with the college: the list contains. besides the alumni, several presidents and two professors, who had never been students, IO
