itlrnfvniani' william Q. whiting, 311: x l T is the object of the Staff, in dedicating the issues of the KALEIDOSCOPE 0 from year to year, to select for this honor some one who has been closely associated with the history of the College and has attained to Q1 l Q fd H3 praiseworthy distinction in his chosen profession. Moreover, the Staff 5, QQ naturally turns to some one who has done much for the students them- selves, whether in the instruction of the class-room, in the administra- tion of the Institution, or in the furtherance of their literary and other college activities. Most appropriate, therefore, was the dedication of this year's volume to Professor William H. Whiting, Jr. No better man has ever served the College than its present Professor of Latin, and it would be hard indeed to estimate the value of his work and influence at Hampden-Sidney. To put it simply, the College cannot do without him,-and he has, fortunately, proved his unwillingness to do without the College. A native of Clarke County, Va., the scion of generations of gentle breeding and culture,-brought up, as he was, in the typical environment of the ante-bellum South, with its atmosphere of gentility and chivalry, and inheriting a splendid love for the best things of its sacred past, Professor Whiting stands today as a striking representative of the ideal Virginian gentleman. Born early enough to receive the impress of the wonderful spirit that still survived from the old South and late enough to continue its best traditions of culture and character well down to the present generation, he commands the ad- miration, as he exacts the love, of all those about him, and gives to young and old alike the stimulating and ennobling influences of his strong and finely-wrought personality. l-lis school days were the ideal school days of the best young men of his time,- the days of serious study and thorough work, with high regard for the old-fashioned disciplines, Greek, Latin, and Mathematics. Of an unusually strong, clear, and analytic mind, he soon mastered the rudiments, and made such progress in his studies that he was able by the fall of ISY7, though still a mere youth, to enter the Sophomore Class at Hampden-Sidney, where he came easily to the front and abundantly fulhlled the brilliant promise of his earlier years. His mind was open to the reception of knowledge, his heart was always in his work, and he never failed to answer satisfactorily the difficult problems that presented themselves for his solution. Accordingly, when the records of the graduating class of I880 came to be made up, it was found that the coveted dis- tinction of First Honor had been won by William l-l. Whiting, Jr. 12
