.c .gcgcgggis '7-QQgLLIQi77l , - L, X71 , John Hampden Chamberlayne Bagfby M.A., M.E., P1-1.D. 'itfgiliyvgis HYSICAL Science in some form has held an important place in the cur- 'ff' riculum of Hampden-Sidney College from the beginning. The early rec- ! qv ords are too incomplete to permit accurate statements regarding the ' tenure of office of each man or the subjects assigned to him. But, at 1' A.V' least, from the coming of Dr. jonathan P. Cushing in 1819, Natural l We va- Philosophy and Chemistry constituted a distinct department. Some of Sig the heads of this Department of Physical Science were men of marked ability and of unusual attainments. Among the most eminent, of course leaving out of account the present members of the department, were, perhaps, President Cushing, the reorganizer of the College and a man of nation-wide repu- tationg john VV. Draper, physician, chemist and writer, F. NI. Klettauer, the ver- satile scholar and the skillful surgeon, Joseph R. VVilson, scientist, theologian and teacher, best known as the father of our late President, VVoodrow YVilsong Lewis L. Holladay, the Christian gentlemen and moulder of men. As the successor of men like these, there came to Hampden-Sidney in 1892 a slender young man fresh from his university work. This man is still here. He is no longer slender, but shows the sturdy frame and deep chest of the Chamberlaynes. The dark hair is now gray, and the smooth-shaven face of thirty-two years ago is now covered with a beard close-cropped and white. This does not mean, however, that the subject of this sketch is an old man-though the immature and frivolous doubtless consider him old--for Dr. H. C. Bagby was born some months after the close of the war between the states, the day was July 20, 1867, andthe place was Nliddleburg, in the Hne old county of Loudoun, where burly Blue Ridge echoes strong, as it gradually falls away into the foothills of Piedmont Virginia. He is the oldest living son of Dr. George VV. Bagby and Lucy Parke Chamber- layne-the father the most conspicuous and forceful writer of the Virginia of his day, the mother, in a more contracted sphere, known as a doer of deeds, as an organizer of schemes for the relief of human suffering, one who will long be remem- bered for her work in promoting the preservation of Virginia antiquities Ccolonial, antebellum and Confederatel, and as the embodiment and representative of the civilization of the old South, whence she sprung and of which she was a part. The Bagby family remained in llliddleburg for a short time only, then moved to Gordonsville, Virginia, for a brief space, and in the early seventies took up resi- dence in Richmond, Virginia, where the father continued his literary work while dis- charging the duties of State Librarian. In passing, it may not be amiss to state that our professor was named for his uncle, Capt. john Hampden Chamberlayne-scholar, soldier, orator, editor-who did things worthy of note in many spheres of activity. His friends-and they were many, for he gripped men to him as with hooks of steel-fondly recall the courageous spirit of the brave young captain who arose from a sick-bed in Petersburg, rode to the Crater, rallied broken and disorganized Southern troops, and led them in a desperate and successful charge. Having passed through a starvation period at Johnson's Island, he returned home and devoted the remainder of his life, mainly in the field of journalism, to the cause of decency and good government in his native state.
