DR EGGLESTON TRI It is a pleasure to realize that although Dr. Eggleston retired from active service to the col- lege last year he is still an active part of the life at Hampden-Sydney. It is good to hear his booming good morning and it is good to see him on his afternoon walks keeping an alert eye on his beloved trees. It is good to know that Dr. Eggleston will still be known to succeeding generations of students. To retire knowing that you have done a fine work and done it well is a comfort to the spirit, a sense secure that you have run your course with honor, but to retire knowing that your influence will continue as a blessing is a benediction. His innate courtesy, his pride in race, his never failing good breed- ing are invaluable examples to young men whose questioning natures demand the living inspiration of such qualities. To the students of Hampden-Sydney Dr. Eg- gleston has always pointed out that to live a complete life a man must accept seriously the responsibilities placed upon him by condition and necessity, responsibilities which must be ac- cepted both joyfully and devoutly. None is too great to be met confidently and surely if one has donned that sacred armour recommended by Saint Paul, The Kaleidoscope takes this op- portunity to pay tribute again to Dr. Eggleston, courtly gentleman, true and faithful Christian. 'xh- . N DR. WHITING BUTE l15.l To YVilliam Henry VVhiting, jr., distinguished son of Hampden-Sydney, the staff of the KALE1- DOSCOPE pays tribute. They take pride in honor- ing here his life of invaluable service to this school. Youngest man in the outstanding class of 1880, serious-minded 'Judge' Whiting, as he was then called, was graduated with valedic- tory honors. Since then, he has continued his classical studies with equal distinction at the University of Virgnia, Harvard, and johns Hop- kins., So well equipped was he in all branches of liberal arts that during his many years at Hampden-Sydney he has taught Latin, Greek, German, Spanish, history, and mathematics. He retired last summer from head professorship of Latin and German, courses which his exactness and understanding had raised to a place of universal respect. Dr. A. VV. McVVhorter, closely associated with Dr. VVhiting as one-time professor at Hampden-Sydney, has said of him: He is an indefatigable worker, a clear and honest think- erg a man of unswerving fidelity to duty-a man who lives his religion modestly, but great- ly, a lover of life in all its best implicationsg a positive and concrete influence always and everywhere for the things that are rightg a friend of the sort who will gladly and unre- servedly respond to your need at any time, loyal, true, unfailing, and literally overflowing with unfeigned kindness.
