Some years previous to the revolutionary war, the Hampden Sydney College. Cushing Foundation Rev. Samuel Davies, of Hanover count) , in conjunction with others, formed the presbytery of Hanover. The principal mass of Presbyterians then in lower ' irginia was in Prince Edward and the neighboring counties, among whom were some French Huguenots. In a few years, as they increased in numbers, they determined to establish a seminary, to be conducted on Presbyte- rian principles ; Willianl and Mar} ' , the only college in the state, being fostered particularly by tlu Episcopalians. The academy was accordingly establish( d in Prince Edward, at a point conve- nient for the Presbyterians of Virginia and North Carolina. This institution was founded in 1771, and was called the Academy of Hampden Sydney. It was chartered in 1783, and received its present name from those two martyrs of liberty, J. Hampden and A. Sydney. It was established, and has ever been supported, by the private munificence of public-spirited individuals. It has an elevated, healthy, and pleasant situation, one mile from the court- house, and 80 from Riclimoad. Although the institution has had to encounter many diliiculties for want of funds, yet it has gen- erally been in successful operation, and has educated upwards of 2,000 young men; many of whom have been of eminent useful- ness, and some of great at)ilities More instructors have emana A HISTORY DF HAMPDEN-SYDIVEY S FAMILY TREE INTRODUCTION Virginia, the Mother of Statesmen; Hampden-Sydney, the Alma Mater of Educators. In 1929 it was discovered that Hampden-Sydney had a larger percentage of living graduates registered in Who ' s Who in America than any other college or university. Thus was recognized again the bountiful contribution to state and nation which the small but great institution has made. The remarkable record of leaders which the college has given the professions and callings is well known to readers of this volume. But there is one phase of this illustrious record which this book attempts to honor , Hampden- Sydney has been a potent founder of colleges, universities, and high-grade academies. The college is the trunk from which have branched out some of this nation ' s greatest institutions of learning. On the frontispage is presented in simple design form a list ol the schools which Hampden -Sydney ' s sons have founded or revived and starting in this section are twenty short sketches on the Aim; Mater and some of her sons who have become distinguished edu cators. Dr. Joseph DuPuy Eggleston, President. Emeritus, of the college kindly consented to pen these sketches. Nothing could be more fitting than that one whose work has so shaped the college ' s receni history should write these sketches, for Dr. Eggleston and Hampden Sydney are one, and his knowledge of and love for the old college are unsurpassed. A great educator himself, he has presented here in brief form the lives of those who have nurtured the family tree and made Hampden-Sydney the Alma Mater of educators. — Editor ' s Note. MEDICAL DEPARTMENT OF HAMPDEN- SYDNEY COLLEGE Prior to 1776, William and Mary, a College of the Establishment, vas the on]y college in Virginia. Through the initiative of the Presbjterians, Hamp- den-Sydney and Liberty Hall (afterwards Washington College, now Washington and Lee University) were started in that year. Morrison (Dictionary of Biog- raphy, p. 289) says that Of the three colleges of the State before 1825, Hampden-Sydney, next to William and Mary, was the most important. Fairfax Harrison (The Harrisons of Skimino, pp. 84-85) says: Hampden-Sydney was at this time the chief edu- cational center in Virginia and indeed in the South. . . . The youth of the new nation, bred in principles of ' liberty, ' demanded teaching which recognized the tendencies of contemporary thought. As a re- sult, there were founded two schools in Virginia, both dominated by the Ciceronian novi — the Scotch- Irish dissenters who had poured into Virginia through the Valley and were the sinew of the Revo- lution. These were Hampden-Sidney and Liberty Hall at Lexington, since known as Washington and Lee. Hampden-Sidnej ' , established in 1776 in Prince Edward County, was controlled by the Pres- byterians, drawing largely upon Princeton, whence came its methods and its teaching staff. In 181 5 it had already an honorable roll of alumni, includ- ing William Henry Harrison, afterward President of the United States, and by its educational oppor- tunities attracted many who, like Burton Harrison, were not Presbyterians. . . . In 1830 Randolph-Macon began its notable career in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, and a few years Dr. Joseph DuPuy Eggleston, President of the College, 1719-193?, and author of the historical sketches contained in this volume. later Richmond College, through the initiative of Ed- ward Baptist, a Hampden-Sydney graduate. In 1827- 28, with the potent support of Joseph Carrington Ca- bell, an alumnus of Hampden-Sydney, Jefferson ' s great vision took form in the University of Virginia. In 1823 the Theological Department of Hampden-Sydney had grown to such an extent that Union Theological Seminary was established at Hampden-Sydney as a separate entity . The impression prevails that the col- leges of that day had very narrow courses, and laid stress only on Latin, Greek, and mathematics. Hamp- den-Sydney had from its birth the best equipment that could be bought for its science department. Hebrew was, of course, included in the curriculum for the bene- fit of the theological students of the college, and in 1826 Col. Louis Gasperi was the teacher of French, Italian, and Spanish. The University of Virginia, in 1827, had an an- atomical school, but beyond this there was no medical instruction in any of the institutions in the South (ex- cept Kentucky, which was too far away). The young men of the South who wished to enter the medical pro- fession went North for their training, unless they were satisfied with the instruction they could secure under private tuition. In 1837, as has been pointed out. Dr. John Peter Mettauer, an alumnus of Hampden-Sydney, opened a school for medical training, and allied it with Ran- dolph-Macon College. The tradition is that he was, for some reason, at odds with the Hampden-Sydney authorities, and for this reason did not ally the school with his alma mater. THE 1941 K LEIDDSCDPE [9] H IMPDEIV-SYDIVEY COLLEGE The statement has been made that Virginia at this time furnished as many students to the I ' niversity of Pennsylvania as did Pennsylvania itself. It was at this juncture that Dr. Socrates Maupin, a brilliant graduate of the I ' niversity of Virginia in the academic and medical departments, joined with five other physi- cians in the attempt to obtain a charter from the legis- lature, in order to start a medical school in Richmond, rhis attempt failed, but the trustees of Hampden- S dney College promptly joined vith these gentlemen in establishing, under the charter of the college, the Medical Department of Hampden-S dney. A lot was given by the City of Richmond, an infirmary was built, and classes began with a fidl school. This arrangement continued until 1853, when the Medical College of Virginia became a separate entity. In 1 861 the Virginia Assembly gave $30,000 to the college to build a hospital, on condition that the insti- tution be deeded to the State. Hampden-Sydney has reason to look with pride upon this beginning of a great medical center. SAMUEL DOAK Samuel Doak, Sr., in his youth came from North Ireland into Chester County, Pennsylvania. So did Jane Mitchell. They married and removed to Augusta County, Virginia, where Samuel Doak, Jr., was born in 17+9; in that part of the county which afterwards became Rockbridge, and within the limits of the New Providence congregation. Young Doak received his early school training in an academy which had been organized in 1749 by Robert Alexander, a graduate of Dublin University. The Dr. Smith ' s two sons, Samuel Stanhope Smith and John Blair Smith attended school. In the spring of 1776, Samuel Stanhope Smith per- suaded Doak to join the teaching stafi of the new col- lege; and here he taught and studied. In October, 1777, Hanover Presbytery licensed him to preach. He preached for a time near Abingdon, Virginia, and then went to the Holston Settlement in Tennessee, where he founded New Bethel Church. Those were troubleous days. Cornwallis was giving trouble, and Major Fer- guson, under his direction, was laying waste the coun- try, as he moved north through the region near the headwaters of the Broad and Catawba Rivers. When a messenger crossed the mountains and re- ported the condition of affairs to the settlers on the Watauga and Holston Rivers, hundreds of Virginians enlisted under William Campbell ; 480 men enlisted from the congregation of Samuel Doak and nearby communities. Doak was no pacifist. When these men ivere ready to march, he appeared and asked the Lord that victory be given them. His prayer was answered at King ' s Mountain. He was a member of the Convention of 1784, which framed a constitution of the new State of Franklin; and he had a clause inserted providing for a State University. Settling in Washington County, Tennes- see, he organized Salem congregation, built a church, and established an academy. This grew into Wash- ington College. Here he remained until 181 8, when his son took charge, and the father removed to Cireene County, where he opened a classical academy, which became Tusculum College.

He then taught in Dr. Rob- ert Smith ' s school at Pe iuea, Pennsylvania, vhere JOHN BLAIR SMITH In the Hislorical Summary in our col- lege catalogue, names of colleges and universities are given which were founded, revived or reorganized by men identified with Hampden-Sydney. John Blair Smith was the first President of Union College at Schenectady, New York, 1795-99- His life was one of great usefulness. His brother, Samuel Stanhope Smith of Pennsylvania, a graduate of Princeton, Austin College, Sherman, Texas. Dr. Daniel Baiter, Class of 1915, was the prime mover in establishing in 1849 this college which awarded the first degree in Texas. tlO] became the first President of Hampden-Sydney at the advanced age of 26. John Blair Smith, at the ad- vanced age of 19, became first assistant to President and Professor Samuel, in 1776. While teaching, he was studying for the minis- try under his brother ' s tui- tion. On October 26, 1779, at a meeting of Presbytery at Prince Edward Court House (now Worsham), he preached what might be called a trial sermon, and Presbytery licensed him. The older brother went to Princeton as President in 1779, and the younger brother succeeded him, having reached the mature age of 23. John Blair Smith in 1777 had become Captain of the Hampden-Sydney Boys, a company vhich donned their distinctive uniforms of purple shirts and coon- skin caps, and marched to the defense of Williams- burg, then the capital of } ' irginia. While administer- ing the business of the col- lege as President, and while teaching classes, he was in constant demand in the pulpit, and evidently had great evangelistic powers. It was assumed by some of the members of the Board of Trustees that, because he gave time to preaching he was neglecting his duties as President; and friction arose. This, however, did not stop him from preach- ing the Gospel with great power and with wonderful results. In 1789 Dr. Smith resigned as President in order to give himself entirely to pastoral and evangelistic work. He was pastor of Pine Street Church, Philadelphia, ' 791-95. and w-as President of Union College, 1795-98. He returned to Pine Street Church in the spring of 1799, and died on August 22 of that year from an at- tack of yellow fever. In 1785 the College of New Jersey conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Divinitv. JAMES BLYTHE James Blythe (October 28, 1765-May 20, 1842) was the son of James Blythe and his wife Elizabeth, immi- grants to Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Sprague (vol. 3, pp. 591-599), quoted by A. J. Morri- son in his Dictionary of Hampden-Sydney Alumni, states that they were from Scotland; Dr. R. L. Dingus of Transylvania College, Kentucky, says they were Scotch-Irish stock. Either way, they were Presbv- terians, and wished the boy to receive a thorough edu- cation and to enter a learned profession. At first James, Jr., didn ' t take to a classical education, but after driving a wagon to and from Charleston, South Carolina, he chose the lesser evil and returned to school. Taking four years at Hampden-Sydney, he gradu- ated in 1788, in the same class with Cary Allen, the • first missionary to Kentucky. While at Hampden- New 20-floor hospital of the Medical College of Virginia. Richmond, Virginia. This flourishing medical school was estab- lished under the charter and seal of Hampden-Sydney College in 1338. Sydney he determined to enter the ministry. It seems probable that this decision was reached because of the great revival at the college in 1786-87, in which Cary Allen was a leader. Dr. A. J. Morrison (following Sprague, vol. 3, pp. 591-599) says that young Blythe studied theology under James Hall of North Carolina. Licensed by Orange Presbytery to preach, he went out to Kentucky in I79t, and in July, 1793, was ordained and installed as pastor of Pisgah Church, where he preached for more than forty years. On August i, 1793, he married Miss Margaret McElroy, a native of Rockbridge County, Virginia (March 8, 1775-January 28, 1835). In 179+ he became interested in the establishment of Kentucky Academy, and with Rev. David Rice (a former trustee of Hampden-Sydney), made a trip on horseback to Philadelphia, New York, and other East- ern cities to raise money; receiving a gift of $100 from President George M ' ashington, a similar amount from Vice-President John Adams, and $50 from Aaron Burr. Over $10,000 is said to have been secured on this trip. The Kentucky Academy and Transylvania Seminary were merged January i, 1799, becoming Transylvania University, and Mr. Blythe was elected to the chair of mathematics, natural philosophy, astron- omy and geography (E. Forman, in The Kaleidoscope, vol. 8, p. 32, says geology). In 1804, on the resigna- tion of President James Moore, Professor Blythe was appointed Acting President, and continued as such until 1816, continuing also his teaching. He then sev- ered his connection with the institution, but in 1817 was elected Professor of Chemistry. This position he held until 1831, when he left the state. In 1 832-1 836 he was President of Hanover College, Indiana, and then became pastor of New Lexington Church, ten miles from Hanover, where he preached THE 1941 KALEIDDSCDPE [UJ HAMPDE]V-SYD]VEY COLLEGE McMurran Hall, old courthouse building in which Shepherd State Teachers College was founded as Shepherd College.

Hi bi)d and that of his wife are buried in the cemetery at Hanover. In a statement sent me in February, 1941, Dr. L. R. Dingus of Transylvania College says, An acting- presidency lasting over a dozen years represents a strange phenomenon but has a rational explanation ' here. The Board religiously (as also the State) was passing through a violent religious struggle between the conservatives with a Calvinistic slant and the liberals including Unitarian, deistic, anti-church ten- dencies. . . . He kept the institution going during this period. In 1812 President Bl the and Professor Robert Bishop started the publication of Tlw E-vanijetnat Rfcnrd and ll ' islern Rfvirv:. This went through two volumes. In 1822, Dr. Blythe started T ie Christian Rrt isler, which was discontinued after one year for lack of sufHcient support. Princeton in 181 5 conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Divinity, and in 181 6 he was made Moderator of the Presbyterian (ieneral As- semblv. In the schism of 1837 between the New School and the Old School, Dr. Blythe adhered to the latter. E. Forman, in a sketch of Dr. Blythe I The Kaleido- scope, vol. 8, p. 33, 1900) savs that Hanover College rose to a high degree of prosperity under his admin- istration. Transvlvania College has an excellent portrait of Dr. Blvthe and Mrs. Blythe by the famous Kentucky artist, Matthew H. Joiiett. MOSES WADDEL William Waddel left County Down, near Belfast, Ireland, in 1766 and settled in that part of Rowan which later became Iredell County, North Carolina. Here his son, Moses Waddel, was born July 29, 1770. The boy was very precocious, and at the age of eight was placed in a classical school ct)nducted by James Hall and bearing the euphonious name of Clio ' s Nur- sery; a school celebrated in its day. After five or six } ears here, where he made rapid progress in his studies, he began teaching, though himself only a boy. Teaching first in North Carolina, he next removed to (Jeorgia, where his father had gone, and taught there. Deciding to enter the ministry, he sought the advice of Rev. John Springer of Abbeville District, S. C, who was a graduate of Princeton, had taught and studied at Hampden-Sydney in 1776-77, and had then entered the ministry. Advised to enter Hampden- Sydney, Waddel was so well prepared and a student of such diligence that he graduated in one year — a member of the famous class of 1791. Continuing his studies he was licensed to preach in May, 1792, by Hanover Presbytery. Howe ' s History of the Presby- terian Church in South Carolina says (vol. 2, p. 669) ,«i Tusculum College, Greenevljle, Tennessee, founded in 1818 as a classical academy by Dr Samuel Doak, 1776, the pioneer (Headmaster cf Tennessee. that he was received from the Presbytery of Hanover, April, 1793, as a licentiate. He was ordained as pastor of the Carmel Church, in Georgia, June 6, 1794. He preached for a while at the Calhoun Settlement in Abbeville District, S. C, where Patrick Calhoun, father of John C. Calhoun, lived. He prepared John C. Calhoun for the junior class at Vale, and in 1795 he married young Calhoun ' s sister, Catherine, who lived only a few years. In 1800 he married Elizabeth Woodson Pleasants of Halifax County, X ' irginia. Moses Waddel ' s reputation as a teacher soon became widespread, and promising boys flocked to his schools. In 1 801 he removed to Vienna, a town on the South Carolina side of the Savannah River, and in 1804 [12] again removed about six miles into the country and established Willington Academy, a school which added to his already great reputation. It is believed that the school was named for Willington, the old home of Major James Morton, near Hampden-Sydney, where young Waddel was a visitor in 1790-92, while a stu- dent at college, and where he had first met Elizabeth Pleasants, a niece of Mrs. James (Mary Smith) Mor- ton. Forty-one years later. Dr. John Newton Waddel established in Mississippi a school modeled on the plan of Willington Academy, and called it Montrose, the name of the old home in Powhatan County, Virginia, where Mary Smith (Mrs. James) Morton was born. There was evidently sentiment in the hearts of father and son. George R. Gilmer, one of his pupils and afterwards Governor of Georgia and Congressman, gives, in his Georgians, a vivid sketch of Dr. Waddel as a teacher, with his unique methods, and as a man of brilliant mind and constructive ability. Among his pupils were John C. Calhoun, William H. Crawford, Hugh S. Legare, George McDuffie, A. B. Longstreet, James L. Pettigru, and George R. Gilmer. Franklin College, at Athens, Georgia, had declined until it had only seven students, and a small faculty whose salaries were based for the most part on hopes. Dr. Waddel was waited upon by a committee of Georgians and urged to take charge of the moribund institution. This was in 1819. The university had bestowed upon him in 1807 the degree of Doctor of Divinity. Governor Gilmer, in his Georgians, says, When he took charge of it (Franklin College), there were neither funds, professors, nor students. In a few years Franklin College, under his direction, became Union Theological Seminary, Richmond, Virginia, formally opened in 1824 ai htampden-Sydney College as a separate branch of the Theological Department. Seminary Building (1825-1898) was given to the College in 1912 and its name changed to Venabte Hall. I offered a resolution e, pressive of the high apprecia- tion ... of Dr. Waddel ' s value as President, and the desire that he would remain at the head of the college. The resolution was adopted by a nearly unanimous vote. I doubt whether any act of my after life was more cordially approved by the people of Georgia. Thus was Franklin College resurrected from the dying, if not from the dead, and became the University of Georgia. Today (1941) three Hampden-Sydney men are members of its faculty: Willis H. Bocock, who divided the first honor with William 0. Little in 1884; W. D. Hooper, who missed first honor in 1889 by a fractional point; and E. Claybrook Griffith, who took the first honor in 1936. In 1829, Dr. Waddel re- signed the Presidency and re- turned to Willington, South Carolina, where he conducted a large plantation with great success, and preached. In 1836 he returned to Athens, where he died on July 21, 1840. His brother-in-law, U. S. Senator John C. Calhoun, said of him, He may justly be considered as the father of classical edu- cation in the upper country of South Carolina and Georgia. Old Franklin College building in which was housed the Uni- versity of Georgia from 1819-1829 when Rev. Moses Waddell, Class of 1791, revived the college, made if a leading Southern educational center. ARCHIBALD ALEXANDER 6 the most flourishing literary institution in the Southern States. Some years after the college commenced pros- pering, one or two trustees . . . expressed the opinion that it w as time for him to yield his place to some one of more distinguished literary reputation. Dr. Wad- del at once sent in his resignation. Gilmer continues: Archibald Alexander, the fourth President of Hampden- Sydney College, was born in Rockbridge County, Virginia, April 17, 1772, the son of William Alexander and his wife Agnes Anne Reid. Many sketches of his life, and a biography of his son, James W. Alexander, have been written, but a brief sketch of his life and work belongs In this series. In the search for old brick from the homes of Presidents, members of the Board of Trustees, and alumni, to go THE 13 41 KALEIDDSCDPE [13] HA IPDEIV-SYDIVEY CDLLtIi p into the W ' atkiiis Bfll Tower, no brick could be found at the birth-place of Archibald Alexander, but a small stone from the chimney was sent, and was installed. Archibald Alexander was a student at Liberty Hall, under its first Principal, William (Jraham. There he gave evidence of his unusual abilities, of his studious day; and of course small endowment. This of course has always beeii the case at Hampden-Sydney. Dis- cipline and instruction took on new life. Presidejit Alexander resigned in i8c6 and went to Philadelphia as pastor of the Pine Street Church, where he remained about six years. In 1812 he became Professor of Didactic and Polemic Theology at Princeton Seminary, of which he may be regarded as the founder. Here he continued until October 22, 1851; nearly forty years of eminent service. He was a prolific writer, both of books and of ar:icles for the religious press. He was a man of singular beauty of person and of singular charm of manner. He was given the degree of Doctor of Divinity U the College of New Jersey in iSio. Southwestern University, Memphis.

Christian life. He was licensed in the fall of 1791 by Lexington Presbytery, at Winchester, Virginia, and at once began missionary work in Frederick, Jefferson, and Berk- eley Counties. From the very first he showed marked gifts as a preacher. Being dismissed to F,ast Hanover Pres- bytery, he preached at Old Cumber- land Church, about three miles north of Farmville, and at Hampden-Sydney, where a separate church from Old Cumberland had not yet been organ- ized. He preached also at Buffalo, Briery, Cub Creek, and Charlotte Court House. In 1796 he was elected President of Hampden- Sydney, and took office in the spring of 1797. This brought him into a more intimate contact with John Holt Rice, then a member of the faculty of the College. Thus began an intimate association between these two remarkable men. While President of Hampden-Sydney he continued as pastor in one or more churches. In 1802 he married Janetta Waddell, daughter of Rev. James Waddel, D.D., the celebrated Blind Preacher. The administration of the College by President Alex- ander was a most successful one in every way. It is probable that catalogues were not issued in that day; certainly none have been found prior to 1821, but there are other sources of information. Dr. William Henry Foote states that there was a small wooden building for the President; a brick building which contained rooms for recitation, and lodging rooms; the college hall was a -( vooden building, where the students assembled at an early hour for prayer, and where public worship was held. There was a small library; good scientific apparatus for that University of Richmond, established in t8 0 as Richmond Col- lege, through the work of Edward Baptist, Class of 1613. JOSEPH CARRINGTON CABELL Joseph Carrington Cabell (Dec. 28, 1778-Feb. 5, 1856), was born in that part of Amherst which is now Nelson County, ' irginia. He attended both Hampden- Sydney and Wi!liam and Mary and was of the Class of 1799 at Hampden-Sydney. He spent four years in Europe (1802-1806), married, and settled in (now) Nelson County. Beginning public life in 1808, he was a member of the Virginia Assembly, in both House and Senate, for twenty-seven years; in which time he acquired great influence. He was the first President of the James River and Kanawha Canal Company. Mr. Cabell was a great advocate of public educa- tion, and was instrumental in establishing the Literary Fund, which has been of inestimable benefit to the public schools of ' irginia. Dr. J. H. C. Bagby, in his Gineral Catalo juf of Hampden-Sydney College, published in 1908 (a work that should immortalize him in the annals of the in- stitution), that Mr. Cabell was Jefferson ' s right hand in founding the I ' niversity of ' irginia. In his nota- ble D ' ulionary of Hampden-Sydney Alumni, published in 1921, Dr. A. J. Morrison says that Mr. Cabell was Mr. Jefferson ' s chief coadjutor in the founding of the [14] University of Virginia ; and on February 8, 1856, Governor Henry A. Wise, in a communication to the Senate and House of Delegates, announcing the death of Mr. Caheli, said that he vas one with Mr. Jeffer- son in founding the f ' niversity, a pioneer in the State improvements, a gentleman, a scholar, a devoted pa- triot and ' irginian, a venerable good man. The Dictionary of American Biograpliy (vol. 3, p. 387), of comparatively recent date, says that Mr. Cabell was the principal coadjutor of Thomas Jeffer- son in founding the University of Virginia, and adds: His labors in behalf of a great state university, help- ing first to secure legislative sanction therefor and sub- sequentl ' to obtain financial appropriations towards its construction, have lead the institution ' s historians to designate him as Jefferson ' s right-hand man; nor did he promote merely the material needs of the Univer- sity, but for thirty-seven years, as visitor and rector, he helped to shape its destiny. founding of the Philanthropic Literary Society, states that he joined the society in the first year of its organ- ization, 1805, and that this was his first year in college. After two years here he entered the Medical School at the University of Pennsylvania, received his degree in 1809, and returned to ' irginia to practice. He settled in Norfolk for a while, and in 1835-36 was professor of surgery and surgical anatomy in Washington Medi- cal College, Baltimore. He then returned to Prince Edward County, where he practiced both medicine and surgery until the time of his death. His reputation grew steadily, and pa- tients came to him from distant states. He performed operations not only at his own home, but in nearby taverns, where patients came for treatment. His ac- count books show that he was not only a general prac- titioner, but was called in by other physicians for con- sultation and treatment in difficult cases. In 1905 Dr. George Ben Johnston of Richmond, Virginia, after a study of Dr. Mettauer ' s life, made the President ' s address to the Amer- ican Surgical Association, his theme being John Peter Mettauer. Since that day he has been recognized as one of the great surgeons of all time — far ad- vanced in his practice as a surgeon. He was daring and original.

JOHN PETER METTAUER Francois Josef Mettauer, born in Sulzbach, LTpper Alsace, came with the French troops under Rochambeau, in the capacity of a surgeon with the troops, in the latter days of the American Rev- olution. After the surrender at Vorktown, he came with some of the French troops to Prince Edward County, at Kingsville, where, it is sup- posed, they needed recuperation before returning to France. Through the influence of Patrick Henry, the Holcombes, and others, he was persuaded to settle in this country as a physician. He established a seat about half way between Kingsville and old Prince Edward Court House. He married Mrs. Jemima Gaulding, who is said to have been a Miss Crump of Henrico County. Here was born their son, John Peter Mettauer. The exact date of his birth is not known, and tradition fixes his age all the way from 88 to 98. An old diary stated on the day of his death (November 22, 1875) that he was 88 years old. The boy attended the Acad- emy of Hampden-Sydney in 1804, which would seem to indicate a rather advanced age for an academy stu- dent. An old paper of his, giving an account of the Monument to John Peter Mettauer erected in the College Cemetery by the Virginia Medical Society. In 1837 Dr. Mettauer organized the Prince Edward Medical Institute and trained many young men for the practice of medicine. In 1847 this became the Medical Department of Randolph-Macon College, the faculty being Dr. Mettauer and two of his sons. At the old Mettauer seat were the residence, the office, and a large two-story building, which was the medical school. A prospectus for 1851-52 advertised a hand- some and chaste office, a school of ten months, and an infirmary where surgical operations were performed. The school was suspended at the outbreak of the War Between the States. THE 1941 KALEIDOSCOPE tl5] HAMPDElVf-SYDIVEY COLLEGF. University of Virginia ' s Rotunda Thomas Jefferson once stated that without the help of Joseph C. Cabell, Class of 1799, he would have been unable to found the University. The writer remembers the office — a three-story build- ing with one room on each floor and a winding stair on the inside — an elongated box. There were skeletons in it, and the skin of a rattlesnake that looked to the little boy as if it were large enough to encase him. In the medical school building, which may have been the infirmary also, there was a skeleton in one of the rooms on the first floor. Negroes and small boys trod softly as they went along the road between Kingsville and old Prince Edward Court House; after dark was not a time for traveling. Several hundred yards to the east, across the main highway and near the banks of Mettauer ' s Branch (also known as Shelton ' s Branch) are evidences of a graveyard. Coon and possum hunters, even of today (or rather of the night), tell of rackamous things that occur when they hunt on this branch. Dr. Mettauer married four times, and had children by each of his wives. He drove in a small box-like carriage, with a Negro driver on the driver ' s seat outside, behind two handsome bay horses, and he went like the wind. U he was stopped on the road, he would not permit the conversation to drag. He tapped on the front window, and that signal meant ffo. He never appeared without his tall beaver hat, and it is said that he was buried with it, and that some of his instruments were buried with him. As to these, when he could not find on the market the kind of instrument he wished, he made it. The best known picture of him was taken when he was an old man, wearing his beaver hat. But in recent years a picture taken in middle life shows him to have been a man of hand- some face and piercing eyes. This was taken from a daguerreotvpe given to the writer by his father, who knew Dr. Mettauer well. The Virginia Medical So- ciety honored him and itself by placing a handsome monument over his grave in the College Cemetery. EDWARD BAPTIST Edward Baptist (May 12, 1790-March 31, ' 1863), a native of Mecklenburg County, Virginia, entered Hampden-Sydney in 1810 and graduated in 1813. In 1820 he was given the Master of Arts degree. His father was an Episcopalian, his mother a Presbyterian. Young Baptist joined the Baptist Church while at Col- lege and studied theology under President Moses Hoge. This presents a very interesting picture of that day, for denominational lines were — or were supposed to be — deep and sharp. A college student, converted to Christianity, with an Episcopal father, a Presbyterian mother, and a Presb terian teacher, making up his own mind to join the Baptist denomination, and studying theology under this teacher, the President of a Presby- terian college. Evidently he was a young man of decided convic- tions, and his subsequent career proved that he had unusual ability, and unusual initiative, all of which he had decided to devote to the service of God. He went to Powhatan County, opened a classical school, and taught and preached. He is said to have written the plan of organization of the Baptist General Asso- ciation and to have been one of its founders. He was one of the founders of the Virginia Baptist Education Society in 1830. His school soon had a fine reputation and was well patronized. The Education Society placed in his school nine young men who were to be- come ministers; and to the school came also those who were already in the ministry, but who wished to be- come better prepared for their work. Mr. Baptist is said to have had cottages for the accommodation of many of the students. One is re- minded of a similar plan used by Moses Waddel, class of 1791, and of John Makemie Wilson, class of 1791, famed for his classical academy at Rocky River, North Carolina. It was found necessary to have larger headquarters and was deemed wise to be nearer the city of Rich- mond; so in 1832, under the auspices of the Education Society, a farm was purchased in Henrico County and the Virginia Baptist Seminary was opened. This was the beginning of Richmond College, now the Univer- sity of Richmond. Edward Baptist was offered the Presidency of the college, but declined on account of ill health, and in 1835, seeking a milder climate, he moved with his family to Alabama. In conjunction with his wife ' s aunt, Mrs. William Hickman, who ac- companied the family, a large plantation was pur- chased, and he became a planter on a large scale, and preached to country congregations. He was a member of the Board of Trustees of the University of Alabama. On January 3, 1841, he wrote in his diary, I have recently attended a meeting of the board of trustees of the University of Alabama, agreeable session of about a fortniglil and I hope a profitable one to the rising Taylor ' s ' irginia Baptist Ministers 1912) quotes his daughter as saying: We had an (italics mine generation. (Third Series, When Howard College was founded, he delivered the opening address and was called to the Presidency of the institution. He declined this honor, however, as he did calls to churches in Mobile, Montgomery, Tus- caloosa, and other cities, always preferring the country pastorates. He married in 1817 Eliza Judith Cary Eggleston, who died at Marion, Perry County, Alabama, in 1876. The University of Richmond has a portrait of this eminent minister and educator.

The thought that those largely responsible for this work are leaving, not to return, brings sadness. On the other hand, it is stimulating to know that another class, educated after the manner of Hampden-Sydney, now goes out to make its contribution to the state, the nation, and even the world. Education here is not a mere matter of books and courses. There is a nobler effort than the training of the intellect. The true aim of Hampden-Sydney is to reach the whole man, to send him forth more eager for life than just to make a living. Hampden-Sydney has never been congenial with mass production. The chief concern has always been with the individual. The stream that has gone forth from the institu- tion has not been wide, but it has been deep. The true Hampden-Sydney man holds his own in any company. Such men, often unconsciously even as they smiled at traditions, have, nevertheless, been powerfully influenced by these same traditions. When, as the years pass, this truth is borne in upon them, they pay willing and glad homage to the institution responsible for such an effect on their lives. The Class of 1941 now goes out into life itself. It is a bewildering moment for such an experience in a world like the present one. Remember that yours is not the only class to face such a trial as this. Members of the first student body went with Washington; and so, through all the succeeding years, Hampden-Sydney men have gone forth in war and peace, adversity and prosperity, to take their place. You are inexperienced, but not unprepared. Armed with an education, reinforced by Christian faith, you can face a situation as confused and as desperate as ours undis- mayed and unafraid. May the finest of the old College go with you always. May you know the fellowship of those who have gone before you and now realize the meaning of Hampden-Sydney in their lives. May you be among those who honor their Alma Mater. THE 19 41 KALEIDDSCDPE [21] HAMPDEIV-SYDIVEY COLLEGE To the Right: PAUL TULANE ATKINSON, A.B.

EDWIN SNEAD WYSOR CLIFTON FORGE, VIRGINIA n K A HENRY THE 1941 KALEIDOSCOPE [66] HAMPDEIV-SYDIVEY COLLEGE SEIVIDR CLASS HISTORY How short have been the years since first the Class of ' 41 set foot upon Hampden- Sydne ' ' s historic campus! How well we remember our hectic first night on the campus with the Sophs teaching us to sound off, praise ' 41, and sing the laundry list. Now for four years our lives have been molded by Hampden-Sydney influence, often rich, sometimes trivial, but entirely different from anything we had ever before en- countered — a world filled with traditions, which have been built up since 1776. Right after matriculation came fraternity rushing to keep us in a quandary for six weeks. Soon the wrath of V. C. descended upon us, and we each paid our weekly visits with fear and trembling. With the advent of winter and winter sports came what has been called the great- est Frosh basketball team ever to represent the Garnet and Gray. How well we re- member that team, composed of Elmo Berry, Syd Weed, Frank Brown, Bill Patter- son, Jack Carl, and Bill Roberts. Shortly after the mid-year exams, the class, holding its first meeting, elected Currie, Harper, Offterdinger, and Burks, president, vice-presi- dent, secretary, and historian, respectively. At long last came Easter vacation and this meant no more rat caps. June, exam- inations, and George Hall soon arrived, and with their passing the curtain dropped on our freshman year. September of 1938 found our dreams realized — we were Sophomores! With Bill Patterson as our leader, we took up our positions on the lever side of the paddle in the annual give and take. Soon the novelty wore off, and we aspired for positions in student affairs. Well do we recall our basketball and baseball victories over the University of Richmond during this year. Spring elections found Bill Patterson elected to the posi- tion as Vice-President of the Student Body. Finals, with Gene Krupa, ended our sec- ond year and brought three months ' vacation before what was to be a year of many unusual events. When we returned to school for our Junior year, there was a new administration. Dr. E. G. Gammon had become President of the College upon the retii-ement of Dr. J. D. Aggleston. Dr. D. C. Wilson had been appointed Dean in the place of Mr. George Walker, who had taken up his new position as Alumni Secretary. During the summer, Dr. W. H. Whiting, Jr., had retired from the professorship of Latin and German. His vacancy was filled by Dr. Graves Thompson. Only lack of space keeps The Class of ' 41, as viewed on September II, 1937, just two days after school opened. Notice the several signs of freshman verdure. Fraternity rushing started the next week. H MPDE]V-SYD]VEY COLLEGE us from paying tribute to the inspiring records of ser Ice that are Dr. Eggleston ' s and Dr. hitiiig ' s. Homecoming that year brought the long-hoped-for victory over our ancient rivals, Randolph-Macon. Too vividly we recall the experiences of the deepest snow in dec- ades. Exams were postponed, students were stranded between school and Farmville, and tales of food shortage circulated. Winter gave way to Spring, and members of the Class of ' 41 became heads of ever) ' important student organization. Ted Offterdinger was elected President of the Student Body. The Student Senate was initiated and Leigh Taylor became its first president. Finals of the year were history-making. The Comity Club was destroyed by fire the night before graduation ; so Eddie Duchin had the distinction of playing for the first set of dances ever to be held in the Hampden-Sydney gymnasium. Three newly-constructed fraternity houses were here to greet us when September came. We entered upon oiu ' fourth and final year at Hampden-Sydney with a realiza- tion that what had meant most to us for three years would be no longer ours at the close of the i940- ' 4i session. We felt strongly the grip of the Hampden-Sydney spirit, and resolved to make our last year most significant. Class elections, held early in the Fall, resulted in the election of Craighill Burks as Senior President. With hopes of getting in the near future a Phi Beta Kappa chap- ter for Hampden-Sydney, the Villiam H. Whiting, Jr., Scholarship Club was organ- ized, with Jim Wilson, Craighill Burks, Lewis Timberlake, and Lex Allison, and Phi Beta Kappa members of the faculty as charter members. The new gymnasium was dedicated on that memorable night of January 11, and not long afterwards the new post office. The advent of Spring and thoughts of graduation seemed to make our last months pass too quickly. For much too soon came our final set of examinations and our grad- uation exercises. Before us lay the future. Frank Chaffin, Historian. t6S] JUIVIDR CLASS OFFICERS WALTER LEROY THURMAN President WILLIAM SEVIER TRINKLE Vice-President EDWARD GARLAND DAVIS, JR.

[80] JUIVIDR CLASS HISTORY The class of ' 42 came upon a small college in the heart of old Virginia. It didn ' t look like much. Its buildings were old and some places there were paths instead of walks. Most of the freshmen were hardly out of the sight of doting families before they were rattling off Freshman so and so, here to serve all sopho- mores, etc. Times grew worse. V. C. held high tribunal in the basement of Morton Hall. Everywhere there seemed to be that hated sound — something between a banshee ' s wail and Tarzan in mating season — Frrrrrreshman! Hardly had the hazing let up when punch-drunk freshmen were seen wobbling around. They were those mortal remains of those who had tried to stand up against the devastating punches of Dempsey Massey and Tunney Frierson when those worthies had given mid-term examinations. So on through sophomore years, although they were no longer fresh- men, tests every quarter and exams twice a year continued to harass them. Conditions were getting worse. The mud was deeper and the football team continued to lose with monotonous regularity. But, somehow, the decrepit buildings and the walks that were only paths began to get under our skins. And we woke up to the fact that we wouldn ' t be happy anywhere else, that we liked this old place almost more than home itself. We reckon it ' s the nature of the animal.

THE 13 41 KALEIHDSCDPE [81] HAMPIJKJ -SYU11EY LOLLEGE MOSES HOGE, JOHN HOLT RICE, AND BENJAMIN MOSBY SMITH Who founded I ' nion Theological Seminary in Vir- ginia? I ' ndoubtedly President Moses Hoge, of Hamp- den-Sydney and Dr. John Holt Rice; but an authori- tative circular issued by the College about 1905-08, mentions among the distinguished alumni Rev. B. M. Smith, D.D., LL.D., Professor in Union Theological Seminary and its « •«.• founder (italics mine) after the ravages of war. In April, 1806, Hanover Presbytery decided to estab- lish at Hampden-Sydney College a complete theological library for the benefit of students in the College who were studying with a view to entering the ministry. It resolved also to establish a fund for the educating of poor and pious youth for the ministry of the Gos- pel ; and a standing committee was appointed to manage this business and make report to Presbytery. Funds raised were to be invested in the trustees of the college, but the appropriation of such funds was to re- main with the Presbytery. John Holt Rice was ap- pointed as a special agent to solicit donations in books and money, and in the spring of 1807 had raised $2,500. In the same year President .Archibald .Alexander re- signed and removed to Philadelphia, and Rev. Moses Hoge, of Shepherdstown, Virginia, succeeded him. Theological courses had been included in the curri- culum in the early days of the college. A letter to t)r. Hoge at this time stated, For some years to come the head of the Theological School must be the Presi- dent of Hampden-S dney College. It is evident that a definite Theological Department was started at this time (1807), with the inauguration of President Hoge, and that he performed the duties of the presidency and of the professor of theology. A full discussion of this may be found in the General Catalogue of I ' nion Theological Seminary, pages 7 and 8. Moses Hoge, son of James Hoge and his wife, Mary Griffith, was born in Frederick County, Virginia, Feb- ruary 15, 1782. He studied at Liberty Hall Academy, 1778-80, and studied theology under Rev. James Wad- dell, and was licensed to preach in November, 1781. While preaching, he taught school. In 1783, he mar- ried Elizabeth Poage. During his administration at Hampden-Sydney, thirty oung men were trained for the ministry, among these Edward Baptist, who, under the inspiration gained by his studies at Hampden- Sydney, established an academy which later grew into Richmond College. While in attendance at The Gen- eral Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, Dr. Hoge died in Philadelphia, July 5, 1820. In 1 810 the College of New Jersey conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Divinity. He was an author and contributed able articles to Dr. Rice ' s Lit- erary and Ei ' angeiutii Magazine. With the ground work done by Dr. Hoge, it was now decided to establish a theological seminary as a separate institution. John Holt Rice became a mem- ber of the faculty of Hampden-Sydney in December, 1796, and continued as such to 1804. He was a trustee of the college from 1807 until his death in- 1831. He was the logical man to place at the head of the new- institution. He had just been elected to the Presidency of Nassau Hall (Princeton College), but declined, and at great pecuniary sacrifice he announced in June, 1823, his acceptance of Presbytery ' s appointment at Hamp- den-Sydney. . l once he began raising funds, and on arriving at Hampden-Sydney he found that no accommodations had been provided. President Cushing opened his home to him, and with three students, Dr. Rice began teaching, his class room being in one end of President Cushing ' s kitchen. The seminary was formally opened on January i, 1824. Mr. Martin Sailer donated the land for the seminary buildings, and in 1825 the eastern end of what is now Venable Hall was finished. In the wood- land where the seminary building was erected, the students of the college, in the revival of 1786-87 and subsequently, met for pra er. Little did they dream that on this very spot a great institution would be erected, consecrated to the preparation of those who would go forth to preach the Gospel. I ' nder Dr. Rice ' s administration the seminary within seven years had secured a fair library, a building for lecture rooms, chapel, and dormitories, and two resi- dences ; and had nearly 40 students. Benjamin Mosby Smith was born at Montrose, Powhatan County, Virginia, on June 30, 181 1. He graduated at Hampden-Sydney in 1829, sharing with Landon C. Garland the first honor in his class. He taught at Milton, North Carolina, until 1832, when he entered Union Theological Seminary. He was stated supply at Guinea Church, Cumberland County, 1835- 36, and was assistant instructor in the seminary, 1834- 36. He was in Europe in 1836-37, and while there he made a special study of the Prussian Primary School System, which in 1839 was developed into a report made by him to Governor David Campbell of Vir- ginia. This was published as a state paper. It is worth recording that on his return from Europe he brought with him some Scotch broom, which was planted in the church yard at Hampden-Sydney, and soon spread throughout the community and into adjoin- ing counties. From 1838 to 1854 he was pastor at Danville, Tink- ling Springs and Waynesboro, and Staunton, and then began his long and brilliant services as a member of the faculty of l nion Theological Seminary. Dr. Charles W. Dabney in his foreword of a reprint of Dr. Smith ' s report to Governor Campbell, and in his I ' niz ' ersal Education in the South has given an account of Dr. Smith ' s eminent services to public education. He was the originator of the first educational associa- tion ever formed in the South, as far as is known. This was in 1831, in North Carolina. In 1863, in conjunction with President J. M. P. Atkinson of Hampden-Sydney, he organized the Education Associa- tion of Virginia. He was a potent factor In securing the election of William Henry Ruffner as the first Superintendent of Public Instruction in Virginia in 1870; and in his first annual report. Dr. Ruffner pays him a high tribute. He was one of the best county superintendents the state has ever had. In the historical sketch of Union Seminary (General Catalogue, page 15) it is stated that Dr. Smith secured the funds which at the close of the War of 1861-65, enabled the institution to continue its existence. Fi- nancially the seminary was in a state of collapse, and in 1866 the board inaugurated a campaign to raise $100,000. Dr. Smith raised over $90,000 of this amount. He raised the money for the seminary library, now the college library. It can be seen that his ver- satility was remarkable. Affable, lovable, gentle, firm in his convictions, he was an excellent preacher, a be- loved pastor, an able teacher, a man of extraordinary success in raising money for the seminary, which he kept alive in its day of peril; an early and able pro- ponent of public education; a scholar and author — what estimate can be placed on the good he accomp- lished !

Staggering beneath the stigma of being oft-termed a below-average freshman group, the sophs fought fiercely to establish their reputation as a worthy school unit. Class meetings and activities took on new vigor under the able and sincere direction of newly-elected James G. Peden. Unusual support came from officers Edward W. Wolcott, vice-president; Garland H. Moore, Jr., secretary- treasurer; and perpetual historian T. C. Whitehouse. Early in the year (November 29) , at the behest of Peden, Dr. Gammon summoned to the class ' s attention the unparalleled need of class spirit and cooperation. Plans flashed before the Sophomore Class and emerged into what, at the time this history reaches its readers, will be campus history. With a view toward improving cam- pus situations, ' 43 looked with scrutinizing glances at a benumbed and bothersome rat system and other class-centered activities. One thing became increasingly evident toward mid-winter: ' 43 bids fair to exceed the upper classes in spirit and activity, to confirm Dean Reed ' s historic and oft-cited opinion that Sophomores form the back- bone of the school. T. C. Whitehouse Historian, Class of ' 43. THE 1941 KALEIHDSCDPE [89] HAMPDEIV-SYDIVEY COLLEGE DANIEL BAKER Daniel Baker (August 17, 1791-December 10, 1857) was born at Midway, Liberty County, Geor gia. Dr. Alfred Morrison, in his Dictionary ' of Hampden-Svdnev AUimni, page 177, says that the pastor of the Midway Church, happening to meet President Moses Hoge, mentioned young Baker to him, with the result that the latter enrolled at Hampden-Sydney in the summer of 1811. In 1815 he went to Winchester, ' irginia, as assistant to Rev. William Hill, D.D., who graduated at Hamp- den-Sydney in 1789. Young Baker studied theology under Dr. Hill. In 1816 he married Elizabeth Mc- Robert of Prince Edward County, daughter of Theo- derick B. McRobert, and granddaughter of the cele- brated preacher and patriot. Rev. Archibald McRobert. He held pastorates at Harrisonburg, Virginia; Wash- ington, D. C; Savannah, Georgia; and Tuscaloosa, Alabama. He was a speaker of rare eloquence and soon showed marked gifts as an evangelist, and in 1840 he went to the Republic of Texas as an evangel- istic missionary. In Texas he participated in the organization of the first Presbytery in that State, and proposed the estab- lishment of a church college for young men. He then moved to Holly Springs, Mississippi, but in 1848 re- turned to Texas, and, finding that nothing had been done in establishing the college, he immediately set to work and in 1849 secured a charter for Austin Col- lege, named in honor of Stephen F. Austin, who was born in Virginia and had become one of the leading men of the new republic. The first board of trustees wished to name the college for Dr. Baker, but he ob- jected. He ivas a man of great energy and was markedly successful in raising funds for the new in- stitution, and in 1853 became its President. He made trips over Texas and the United States in search for funds and equipment. One would think he had enough work on his hands as President of Austin College, but he began an agita- tion for a public school system for the young republic, and proved so able an advocate that, says the Dic- tionary of American Biography (vol. i, p. 517), his advocacy probably had much to do with the passage of the act of 1854, to provide a system of public schools. In 1857 he resigned the Presidency of Austin College in order to devote his entire time to raising funds for the institution. Daniel Baker College, at Brownwood, Texas, was named in his honor. His autobiography is extant, and Dwight L. Moody, the celebrated evangelist and founder of Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, reprinted for distribution in Eng- and Baker ' s Revival Sermons. LANDON C. GARLAND Landon Cabell Garland (March 21, 1810-February 12, 1895), son of Alexander Spotswood Garland and his wife, Lucinda Rose, was born in Nelson County, Virginia. He was a younger brother of Hugh A. Garland, graduate at Hampden-Sydney in the class of 1825; lawyer, member of the Virginia House of Dele- gates, Professor of Greek at Hampden-Sydney, member of the U. S. House of Representatives and later its clerk, author of a Life of John Randolfli of Roanoke. In 1829 Landon C. Garland divided the first honor at Hampden-Sydney with Benjamin Mosby Smith of Powhatan Countv, Virginia. This must have been an interesting race for first place, for each of them had a brilliant mind and prodigious energy. Garland was a Methodist, Smith a Presbyterian. Garland became a professor of mathematics in Randolph-Macon College, wrote a textbook on trigonometry; and in 1936 was elected President of the college. While occupying this position he was offered several presidencies of colleges, among them that of the College of William and Mary. In 1855 he accepted the presidency of the University of Alabama, a position which he held until 1865. He taught at the University of Mississippi, 1867- 1875. In the latter year Vanderbilt University was established, and he became its first Chancellor. The growth of the institution under his administration was marked. In 1893 he voluntarily resigned the Chancel- lorship in order to teach. His special field, says the Dictionary of American Biography, was mathematics, but at various times he taught physics, astronomv, phil- osophy, and literature. His amazing versatility was such that he was said to have been at home in Greek, Latin, music, and theology. A biography of Dr. Garland, giving an interesting and detailed account of his life and works appeared in 1938, written by Miss Louise Dawlen. JOHN BUNYAN SHEARER J. B. Shearer was born in Appomattox County, Vir- ginia, July 19, 1832. He entered Hampden-Sydney in 1849 and in two years graduated with the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts. He then took the Master of Arts degree at the ITniversity of Vir- ginia, taught one year at Gordonsville, Virginia, graduated at Union Theological Seminary in 1856, and began his long and distinguished career as preacher and educator. While preaching in Halifax County, Virginia, he founded the Cluster Springs High School. In 1870 he was elected to the Presidency of Stewart College, an institution of the Synod of Nashville lo- cated at Clarksville, Tennessee, which, in 1875, under his administration, became Southwestern Presbyterian ITniversity. Here he served not only as President, but as a busy professor, for in 1870-71, the catalogue shows that in addition to his Presidential duties he was Professor of Mental and Moral Philosophy, Logic, Rhetoric, etc. In 1871-72 he was teaching Meta- physics, Logic, Rhetoric, etc., and in 1872-73 and 1873-74 he was President and Professor of Meta- physics, Logic, Rhetoric, Political Economy, etc. What the etc. signified is not known, but it must have been something to prevent any idleness on the part of Dr. Shearer. Throughout his life he was known as a pro- digious worker. He must have been, and must have had an iron constitution. It appears also that in addi- tion to the subjects here mentioned, he gave a course in Biblical Instruction, beginning in 1872-73. In order to raise money for the expanding institution, he was financial agent, 1876-1879. In this latter year he resigned his work as President, but continued as a member of the faculty, being succeeded by Dr. J. N. Waddel, who became the first Chancellor of the Uni- versitv. The catalogue of 1879-80 discloses that Dr. Shearer taught. History, English Literature, Rhetoric, Bible, and Christian Evidences, while the catalogue of 1884-85 states that he was Professor of Hebrew and New Testament Greek and that he also taught Bible. In 1888 Dr. Sh earer became President of Davidson College, North Carolina, and was at the same time Professor of Biblical Instruction and Philosophy. This position he filled until 1901, but he continued as vice- president and professor until 1919, and died on June 18 of the latter year. Southwestern Presbyterian Uni- versitv conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Laws. He was the author of several books connected with Biblical themes. In 1872 his Alma Mater conferred upon President Shearer the degree of Doctor of Divinity.

From its inauguration at Hampden- Sydney in 1906 until the present session, the Coimcil has had full authority over stu- dent behavior. The duty of upholding the h onor system, plus the investigation of cases of property destruction and other petty misdemeanors, kept the Council busy in for- mer years. This year, however, because of the Hatten amendment to the Student Body Con- stitution providing for the creation of a Student Senate to try and punish all students found guilty of crimes not involving breaches of the honor code, the Council has tried only honor cases. The first year under this new plan has proved satisfactory and it is believed that in the future this system will continue to be efficient. Davis, Irby, Savage. Bulks. Pcdcn Taylor, Vaden.

Sopliomore Class For several years previous to 1 940 the need of another branch of Student Govern- ment at Hampden-Sydney had been recognized. This branch would have jurisdiction over all offenses which came under control of the Student Council, with the exception of cases of a breach of the Honor Code. The purpose of this body in relieving the Council of such cases was to raise the prestige of the latter body and to increase respect for the Honor Code. To meet this long-felt need, the Student Body in April, 1940, passed a constitu- tional amendment sponsored by H. P. Hatten, President of the Student Council for ' 939- ' 40j which created the Student Senate, to have jurisdiction over the following cases : Conduct which brings the good name of the College into ill-repute ; wanton de- struction of college property or of that of a fellow student; the passing of bad checks, gambling, and similar offenses. Meeting frequently to administer proper judgment to numerous offenders, the Senate has functioned this year, as the Administration puts it, most effectively. Peden. Ritchie. Shick.

Off to a late start, and held up several times during the year by mechanical troubles, the 19+1 Kaleidoscope staff has been pushed to produce this book on time. For the forty-seventh edition of the annual, the Editor chose an historical theme in an attempt to give the book material of more lasting interest and worth. The makeup of the book has been altered slightly, some changes being made so that more snapshots and more nriteups could be included than usual. Since the annual belongs primarily to the Seniors, more attention has been given to the graduating class this year. The Business Staff has had a most successful year. Over thirty people have at times taken part in the v?ork on this edition, as the Editor tried to make the book as representative as possible.

Ably assisted by Associate Editor Lex Allison, Burks has endeavored to represent, under the unbiased and un- prejudiced policy of the Tiger, individual and group in their proper proportions. The entire staff, despite the difficulty of the task and the criticism sometimes received, has carried out its job in a highly com- mendable fashion throughout the year. Managing Editors Ed Davis and Mar- shall Dosvi ell, in charge of the paper on alternate weeks, received able support from News Editors Joe Coxe, Tedo Savage, and Cary Suter. Joe Geyer, as feature editor, and Sports Editor Walton Zimmerman have added much to the enjoyment of the Tiger with their fine work. The Tiger, delivered with the Collegi- ate Digest on the campus, has had a circu- lation of approximately 700, with 250 on the mailing list to various points.

Armes Treasurer On April 20, 1927, by a combined vote of the cabinets of 1926-27 and i927- ' 28, the Hampden-Sydney Y. M. C. A., organized in 1886, became the Students Christian Association of the college. The aim of the new organization was (i) to carry out a better religious program on ' The Hill, ' and (2) to supplement this with activities of a social and recreative nature which are useful in the four-fold growth of men. During the year which is now closing, the S. C. A. has carried a full program, departing slightly from its accustomed schedule in that the second of the aims men- tioned above has been stressed more than usual. The spiritual highlights of the year have been the Fall and Spring Services, at which times Dr. Ben Lacy, Jr., President of Union Theological Seminary, and Darby Fulton, General Secretary of the Foreign Mission Board, visited the campus. Ken Shick presided at both services, and Bob McBath had charge of dormitory and frater- nity services. Vice-President Robert Williamson ' s fine work on tiie Tii ir I Inndhook won for it the Highest Award at the V. I. P. A. Coiuention. Jack Arnus directed several deputations throughout the session, while Ralph Ritchie directed two successful socials, and also a concert featuring Miss Lura Stover, soprano of opera, concert, and oratorio fame. Byron Milton concentrated on the society across the page. Bill Armes, Paul Coblentz, R. K.

Stephenson Treasurer When the Union Theological Seminary was removed from Hampden-Sydney in 1898, it took with it those students who successively for many years had served in mission work in the neighboring country. Hampden-Sydney students, chiefly those who were candidates for the ministry, jumped in to fill this vacancy, and soon organ- ized the linisterial Band. In 1923 the Band was reorganized as the Ministerial As- sociation, which was formally received into the newly-formed League of Evangelical Students in 1935. In the Spring of 1940 the group of students comprising the League, under the direction of its two last presidents, James Garrett and Gaston Boyle, severed connec- tions with the national organization and formed the Students ' Fellowship. An amend- ment to the S. C. A. constitution provided the new group with necessary finances, and the President of the Fellowship was automatically made an S. C. A. Cabinet member. Under the diligent leadership of Byron Milton, the first Fellowship has seen much progress. Founded upon a sound constitution, the league has become a vital part of campus life for all who have attended. Others, besides President Milton, who have contributed a great deal to the shaping of the new society are T. T. Traynham, W. A. Webb, R. ] I. Stephenson, and P. J. Coblentz, all officers in the group. At its Friday night meetings the Fellowship has endeavored to provide those inter- ested in Christian activity a type of service much different from the other student services on the campus by presenting a program that is informal and varied.

THE 1941 KALEIDOSCOPE tun H IMPDEIV-SYDNEY COLLEGE UNI DM PHILANTHROPIC LITERARY SOCIETY On a cold September day in 1789, a group of students at a small school in the heart of ' irKinia, united by a common interest in literary and forensic work, formed what is now the second oldest collegiate literary society in the United States. Except for a four-year period during the War Between the States, this Union Society of Hampden-Sydney has met continuously for one hundred and fifty-one years. In 1807, Dr. John Peter Mettauer led in forming the Philanthropic Society, the other party to the ultimate merger which created the present Union-Philanthropic Society. It is doubtful whether any collegiate literary society can boast of a record of achievement as significant as that of these two, which listed as members many prominent statesmen, lawyers, theologians, teachers, and soldiers, and one President of the United States, William Henry Harrison. Patrick Henry, practicing law at nearby Worsham, served the Union Society as critic and often spoke to the group. The scholarly work on the Constitution of James Madison, for 45 years a member of the Board of Trustees, served as an incentive to aspiring literati. Both of the societies spent much time in their libraries located in the middle section of Gushing Hall, often sending to Europe for best editions of classical works. For over a century almost every student in College belonged to one of the two groups. After the War Between the States one society had two members, the other but one. These three men revived campus interest and rebuilt the two organizations, which merged after the turn of the century to form the present society. This year, under the leadership of Ray Moore and Luckin Bugg, Union-Philanthropic has continued its weekly meetings featuring the work of both students and guest speakers.

Prior to that time, the only groups to sing the praises of their Alma Mater were scattered quartettes, found in every fraternity house, and vying with Mayo, Albert, Macon Co. of Charlie ' s Store for the campus harmony title. Mr. Alfred Strick, director of music at S. T. C, directed and guided the twenty charter members for the first two years. The second year the group eliminated Washington and Lee ' s Glee Club to win the state championship in a contest sponsored by the State Federation of Music Clubs, and attended by hundreds of ' ' ' music lovers from all over Virginia. The 1940-41 Glee Club boasted the greatest membership and interest shown in many sessions. Over fifty men tried out for membership under the direction of Mr. Carl Broman, who came down from Mary Baldwin College every Tuesday and Wednesday for rehearsals. The number was cut down to thirty of the best voices by mid-term. Their pre-Christmas work was featured by concerts at Fairfax Hall, Mary Baldwin, and S. T. C, where they collaborated with the S. T. C. chorus. More concerts were given throughout the winter and spring and to complete the most successful year the Hampden-Sydney Glee Club has had to date.

Miller C. M. Peck The Vigilance Committee, more commonly called V. C, under the guidance of Bobby Schultz, ably assisted by the paddle-swinging stalwarts of ' 42 and ' 43, has experienced a very good year. John Harlow and Forrest Jessee, Junior representa- tives, and Cook Dunn, Tom Miller, and Clemmer Peck, Sophomores, helped President Schultz wield the big sticks that kept the Gentlemen of ' 44 in line. This committee was installed some years ago with the idea of replacing the old forms of hazing with its promiscous paddling and other evils, which usually resulted in personal animosity and left a spirit of revenge to meet the next year ' s new men. At the Vigilance Court the lowly freshman has a fair chance to defend his actions, although the committee still has its own personal definition of what constitutes a reasonable request. And anyone visiting the basement of Morton on certain Wednesday evenings was certain to be impressed by the seriousness, dignity, and weight with which the court rendered its decisions.

[118] B D D REE FRATERNITIES • HAMPDE IV-SYDIVEY COLLEGE FRATERIVITIES DIV THE HILL Brimming over with traditional honors, Hampden-Sydney has one little-known distinction that nevertheless looms large in the Collegiate world. Here in Death Valley was chartered the first social fraternity to be established in the Old Dominion ■ — Zeta Chapter of Beta Theta Pi. The Betas stood alone until 1860 when Sigma Alpha Epsilon extended membership to a local brotherhood. The following year, the Betas and S. A. E. ' s dropped their intramurals and fraternity frolics to join the marching forces of Lee and Jackson in the War Between the States. During the dark days of Reconstruction, other fraternities were added in quick succession. Chi Phi chartered a chapter in 1867, Sigma Chi in 1872, Kappa Sigma in 1883, Pi Kappa Alpha in 1885, and Kappa Alpha in 1899. In 1902 the local Sigma Chi chapter had its charter revoked, and in 1912 the Betas had their scroll called in. In 1914 Theta Chi hit the campus, to be followed in 1926 by Theta Kappa Nu which merged nationally in 1939 with Lambda Chi Alpha, assuming the latter ' s name. Sigma Chi was rechartered on the campus as Sigma Sigma Chapter in 1931. For 57 years the fraternities met in various chapter rooms in Cushing and Stagger, until in 1907 Chi Phi took a progressive step by securing a spacious chapter house. The other boys followed suit with small lodges of the bungalow type. Feeling the need for still more expansion. Kappa Sigma, Lambda Chi Alpha, and Sigma Chi this year built new houses with dormitory space. Kappa Alpha had already built some years ago. Theta Chi and Pi Kappa Alpha will have new houses before the next class graduates. Fraternities now play an active part in student life. The seven groups are more powerful than ever before, except, perhaps, during the period of cliques which was brought to an end by a Student-Body law in 1938. As rolls have in- creased, intramural athletic competition has grown keener year by year, with the Pi K. A. ' s temporarily in the ascendent. Rushing, with the extension of bids, which takes place in mid-October, creates more interest and excitement than any other one activity during the entire year. Fraternity parties — annual sets of three dances — have become elaborate social functions, and the old Comity Club, which burned down at Finals last year, had been the scene of many gala dances. Moving into the gym this year, Kappa Alpha, Pi Kappa Alpha, Kappa Sigma, and Chi Phi decorated the building splendidly with fraternity-co ' ored streamers, vied for the title of the year ' s most attractive set. Kappa Sigma was forced to drop their party plans last year when constructing their new house. They compromised by licking the faculty, Prexy and all, 17-8 in a hot Softball game . . . Remember?

X Reposing in grandeur in its renovated ofF-the campus mansion, Epsilon Chapter has spent a good year. Rush- ing results were favorable, for fifteen .satisfactory fresh- men were pledged to augment the dwindling numbers of upperclassmen and fill the places to be vacated by eight Seniors. In intramurals the brothers rocked along undefeated through touch football. Basketball also found them with a top-notch team, as well as baseball and golf, in which last-named sport they have consistently excelled. Setting the pace for the lodge this year were the eight Senior brothers. President Leigh Taylor was a promi- nent campus figure. Bill Traylor, Bill Bullock, and Tyler Taylor were all strong intramural men, and equally strong for any week-end trip to Macon and the Patch, especially since Bullock sported a car this year. Jeff Jones, bully of the Chemistry 2 lab, made life mis- erable for campus cats. S. T. C. and Shannons will mourn the absence of Emmett Hoy, while the brother- hood will miss playboy Tom Currie, whose puns have punished them plenty, and Fred Edmunds, whose wit and charm have become proverbial.

Social activity for the year was topped by the two week-end parties with all attendant snaking, etc. Sigma Sigma sadly sees six Seniors set sail. William Czar Patterson, Track Co-Captain and Annual Busi- ness Manager, has been the dominant figure in the lodge for the last two years. He takes with him his aide-de- camp and traveling companion, Charles Reid Porter, one of the hottest things in the intramural business.

Stunned but unappalled by such a catastrophe, the brothers rallied around the ruins, started out with determination to secure a new house. lota ' s campus record has been consistently good. The coveted intramural championship cups for the past four years were but part of the 19 cups lost in the fire. Their annual dances were gala affairs, and, as usual, the group boasted campus luminaries who stood out in activities on the Hill. Handing over his duties as Student Hody Prexy, Pan- Ilel Prexy, and ad infinitum, is Lynchburg ' s own Ted Offterdinger (No. i), who leaves to concentrate his in- terests on a home-town project. The army welcomes Hub Craddock, B.M.O.C, who dallied with publications and football togs in his spare time. -And S. T. C. will miss the familiar puns of P. T. Atkinson and Rip Rus- sell, who were always arguing about the last hunting trip. Then, too, the likes of Hot-Lick Bynum will never be found. Finally, Doc Chitwood, chapter brain trust, and Bud Wysor, Shylock of lota ' s finances, leave the ' allev for Wahooland and medicine. tl30 3 PI KAPPA ALPHA Number of Active Chapters, Seventy-seven.

This lodge has always had its share of campus luminaries, chiefly in the athletic and in the scientific realms, where the broth- ers have captained teams and run Chi Beta Phi. In in- tramurals they have placed second in total points for the past four years, and for the last two years they have presented an attractive dance set in December. Ten Seniors, headed by Bill (No. i) Gibson, the Suf- folk smiler, will be lost via graduation in June. Dutch Schultz and Buddv Murdock will leave big holes in the football team, which Bobbie captained the last three games. The Georgia peach was really hot as captain of both basketball and baseball this year. The college will miss Magic-Fingers Crawley, as the Count has tickled the ivories at every Tiger gathering for the last four ears. Henry Wiseman, the Danville dude; Ed George, allergic to red-heads, and Booty Shelton, tidal wave from the Shore, will all pull up stakes.

So while three nearhy lodges have gone up in smoke to be replaced later hy spacious houses, the brothers have wistfully held to their 191+ house, the last of the bun- galow-type lodges in school. But any one of the 19 pledges garnered this year will hasten to inform you that most any day now a new house will arrive, and Professor Ghigo won ' t deny that it ' s going to be a honey. Heading the work for the new mansion have been the nine Seniors whom the chapter loses in June. Joe (No. i) Manson has taken time out from his rhumbas with Cugat to lead the boys through a good season. Hunter Peak, forced by public opinion to clip his mustache, has had uncanny luck with his blind dates. Lewis Timber- lake, class valedictorian, puppet director, and Black Bot- tom bad boy, with Sam Lippincott and roommate Bill Lucke, has kept up the scholastic average, aided by Jimmie Mays, nicknamed the janitor.

After housing thenn for a year, that ill-fated old building also resigned itself to flames during 1940 Finals. So Professor Ropp and a committee composed mostly of Juniors started out to secure a new house. Returning last fail, the brothers found a neat white- frame, Cape Cod cottage — not expansive, but compactly comfortable. Elated over prospects, the older men set- tled down to rushing and pledged sixteen men — the best freshmen additions in four years.

For a period of time the society concentrated its attention on Homer, the members seeking to increase their grasp on those epics which literary people are prone to know only by second or third hand. But it did not always pretend to lofty literature. Among the most interest- ing discussions of the year were those on Robert W. Service and William Faulkner.

But these unsung heroes receive due recognition from one source — they are in most cases rewarded by membership in the best national journalism fraternity, of which some of the brightest stars in the newspaper firmament wear the key. Pi Delta Epsilon serves as a publications board on the campus. Besides rewarding those who have done outstanding work in journal- ism, it has as its purpose to coordinate the policies and activities of the various publications. This year, its task has been light, for the well-oiled machinery of the Tiger, the Garnet, and the Kaleidoscope ran smoothly throughout the season. But always there was Pi Delta Epsilon to fall back on in times of doubt. PI DELTA EPSILOIV [140] TAU KAPPA ALPHA The Debate Team: Eubank, Ward, Pancake, Allison. (Forensic Fraternity) Officers A. W.

But these days practice of the forensic art is confined almost entirely to the debate team. A chapter of a national honorary fraternity, Tau Kappa Alpha serves as the Debate Council at Hampden-Sydney. By their own exclusive efforts, the members plan a debate schedule, prepare debates and sponsor Intercollegiate competition. This year the season began in earnest immediately after mid-year exams, and local teams engaged college teams within the state, and out-of-state teams on tour. About the first of April the members of the Council — Allison, Eubank, and Pancake — climaxed the year ' s activities by meeting various schools in and around New York City.

Gamma Chapter of the national organization has helped Hampden-Sydney retain its high scholastic standing in this department. This year Chi Beta Phi continued to in- quire into the most recent scientific discov- eries under the able leadership of Jim Wil- son, who headed a society of 27 students chosen for their outstanding work in chem- istry, biology, and physics classes. During their monthly meetings, different members participated by reading carefully- prepared papers. Of special note this year was a lecture delivered in Bagby Hall by Dr. Yoe of the University of Virginia, in- ternationally known authority on colorimetry and photoelectric chemical analysis. Two of the faculty members, Dr. Frierson and Mr. Simpson, are currently engaged in a compre- hensive investigation of organic compounds in inorganic analysis.

All five losses were to schools of far greater size and superior man-power. Lack of reserves hampered Coach Red Smith ' s men, as the Tigers often took the field without a complete team of substitutes. In almost every case they fought for a time on even terms with their larger foes only to fall back before a long list of reserves. Later in the season the team was further handicapped by the loss through injury ot Captain Frank Brown and Toad Thurman. The ' 40 squad was the best (or perhaps the best but one) that Hampden-Sydney has seen in the past five years. Though the fans were dis- couraged over the prospects in September, before the season was over they had seen not only the often stressed underdog morale of Hampden- Sydney teams, but numeric victories as well. Impressions received from the opening game against Washington and Lee didn ' t help much — the boys were disorganized and erratic in the face of a superior offense and lost by four touchdowns to none. Linemen Thurman, Jessee, and Hollenbeck, and backs Murdock, Holmes, and DeMuro bore the brunt of the Tiger ' s battle. But on the following Saturday an alert team, played sixty minutes of smart, heads-up football to upset the so-called terrible Terps of Mary- land, 7-6. Sprye, speedy Sophomore back, scored the first Tiger touchdown of the year during the FRANK BRUISER BROWN Who directed the Tiger eleven from his taclde position until in|ured in the Lehigh game. Brown turned in several outstanding performances, pro- vided the Tigers with one ot the best captains in recent years. F [148] The Tiger Board of Strategy . . .

Holmes, Jessee, Miller, Thurman, Toothman, and Hollenbeck played outstanding ball for sixty minutes. Hampden-Sydney featured a new overhead at- tack, vi ' ith Weed on the receiving end of most of the passes. Their confidence bolstered by their upset of the highly favored Terrapins, the Tigers continued to gain momentum and downed Delaware on Home- coming Day, 7-0. Three thousand five hundred fans saw Weed travel thirty-five yards after tak- ing a pass from Sprye for the game ' s only touch- down. Delaware never threatened, as Captain Brown, Jessee, Holmes, and Thurman kept the ball in Blue Hen territory most of the time. Murdock repeatedly set the Northerners back by his long quick-kicks. On the following Saturday, Guilford was downed without much trouble. Using only straight plays, the Smithmen amassed five touchdowns as Holmes crossed the double white line three times. Sprye scored on the fifth play of the game, and Offterdinger added the last six points on a pass from Werder in the third period. Then the Tigers hit a slump, were routed by Carl Voyles ' up-and-coming William and Mary Indians, dropped a close one to Lehigh on a heart- breaking referee ' s decision, and were overrun by their traditional rivals — Richmond. Hampden-Sydney ' s lone threat against the In- dians came in the first quarter when Miller raced D D T B A L L [149] thirty-five yards on a delayed reverse from Holmes. Jessee, backed by Holmes, Murdocic, and Thurman, played outstanding ball for the Tigers, who trailed 7-0 at halftime. At Lehigh the Death Valley eleven was on the six-inch stripe when the final whistle blew, and had Schultz ' s request for time-out been honored, the score might have been different. Captain Brown suffered an injury in the second quarter, and was put out of action for the rest of the season. A bright spot in the Richmond game was a last period rally that netted Hampden-Sydney the final two touchdowns of the game. The Spiders held an early 13-0 lead and stretched their total to 33 points in a fast-moving third quarter. In the final period Berry and Holmes scored, while Werder was starring in the passing role. Radio announcers afterwards dubbed Holmes the best man on the field for either team. Still let down, and pointing for Randolph- Macon on Thanksgiving, the Death Valley boys showed only sporadic bursts of spirit against Da- vidson, whose shifty backs piled up four touch- downs. Berry, Jessee, Holmes, Toothman, and Umstead led the Tiger attack in vain, as the Bengals threatened only once. Against Randolph-Macon ' s Yellow Jackets in the season ' s finale, the Tigers put on the pressure when it counted and capped almost every drive with a touchdown, dispensing with intermediate first downs.

Alternate Captain Schultz and Offterdinger played exceptionally good ball. This was the sec- ond Tiger win over the Jackets in thirteen years and was far more decisive than the victory which broke the jinx last season. Six regulars, Captain Frank (Bruiser) Brown, Bobby Schultz, Elmo Berry, Buddy Murdock, Sid Weed, and Ted Offterdinger played their last games for Hampden-Sydney that November aft- ernoon. They were not a collection of stars, but all of them played good and sometimes excep- tional football during the season.

The 1940 Baby Bengal team vill go down as one of the best ever to represent the freshmen of Hampden-Sydney. The Tiglets opened against Petersburg ' s Waves. Forced into slow play by the excess heat, the frosh didn ' t display their full strength, and the game ended in a 0-0 tie. The Baby Bengals then took on the powerful Greenbrier team in Death Valley and defeated the West Virginians, 12-7- A 19-0 defeat of Woodberry Forest was the Frosh ' s next accomplishment, but later Fork Union dealt the Tiglets their only regular-season setback, 20-7 as Coach Walden ' s eleven were handi- capped by the loss of six of their key men who were with the Varsity. The regular season was concluded with two easy victories in one week. The second-stringers whipped Victoria, 33-0, and two days later the regular Tiglets ran roughshod over Masonic Home in Richmond. Being the first Hampden-Sydney Freshman team to play in a post-season bowl encounter, Coach Walden ' s eleven journeyed to Covington to engage Greenbrier in the Mountain Bowl Classic, only to lose a hard battle by 7-0. Coaches Syd Walden and Frank Sullivan, in their first seasons as athletic mentors, showed great promise in their ability to handle men and passed on to the Varsity many outstanding men. RESULTS H.-S.

M With the advent of the 1940-41 basketball season, Hanipden-Sydney court followers looked forward to a banner year. Hack were Captain Buddy Murdock, Elmo Berry, and Syd Weed, veterans of three years of varsity play; Patter- son, Tasker, and DeMuro, first string reserves of last season. From a better than average fresh- man team came Sprye, Buchanan, Miller, and Blanton. As the new gym was nearing comple- tion, all seemed set for the Tigers, coached this year by Red Smith, successor to ank Ber- nier, the grand old man of Hampden-Sydney athletics. Determined to start the season on the right foot, on December 9 the team invaded Rich- mond for the first contest of the season, with ample support from the Student Body, to meet the question-mark Spider quintet from the Uni- versit) ' of Richmond. Starting with a rush, the Tigers played the strong Spider team on even terms through the game, the scores never being separated by more than a few points. A last- minute rally by Richmond cinched the outcome, and the Tigers went home on the short end of Coach Red Smith ' s basketball squad. Front _Row: Tasker. Weed, Murdock, Berry, Geyer. Behind; Sprye, DeMuro, Buchanan, Miller, Toothrpan. Patterson and Bogton were missing when the picture was taken. . B A 1154] r Richmond was ahead, 20- 16, when Artful Arthur Jones and big Tom Miller went up high for this jump shot. But Referee Hollo- way detected the artful one giving Tom the elbow, and after adding Miller ' s foul shot, the Tigers went on ahead to win, 36 to 33. Seen in the shot are the entire Spider squad, and Sprye, Miller, Weed, and Berry. a 31-29 score. The team showed up well and fans predicted that when a few of the rough edges were rubbed off, it would be one sweet combination. In the first game of 1941, the Smithmen gained a 47-33 victory over a determined Lynch- burg five. After being held to an 18-18 deadlock through the first half, the Tigers pulled away easily as Sprye went on a scoring spree. Syd Weed led the scoring with ig markers, while Sprye made 12. Meeting Virginia at the dedication of the new gymnasium, before a crowd of more than 1200, Hampden-Sydney played one of its best games. Fighting hard all the way, the Tigers made it a real contest, but trailed 25-21 at the half. Lacking the services of Captain Buddy Mur- dock, they were left after halftime, as the com- bination of McCann, Harman, and Wiltshire began to go to town, and as the Cavalier subs began streaming in. Patterson and Berry were outstanding, although Hampden-Sydney went down, 55-37- Meeting William and Mary On January 18, the Garnet and Gray, suffering from a letdown, seemingly fell easy prey to the Andrew broth- ers, Knox, and Company by a 44-26 count. Bridgewater next humbled the Tigers, 26-25. The Tigers had led until the closing minutes, but faded badly and allowed a weaker squad to win. Breaking into the win column for the second time, the Tigers administered a 48 to 34 setback to the Medical College of Virginia. Hampden- Sydney ' s shooting was improved and the fight that had been lacking in the last two games was present to the gratification of the fans. The Medicos were beaten again, 46-33, in the return game at Richmond, as Patterson and Weed rolled up 22 points between them. Still clicking, Hamp- den-Sydney relied over Lynchburg again. In this 55-31 victory, Sprye took scoring honors with 15 points, trailed by Syd Weed with 13. Opening relations with Furman University, HERMAN E. RED Coach SMITH S K E T B A L 1 [155] the Tigers played the role of genial hosts and were beaten, 35-2j5, by the Purple team. Furnian led, 19-11, at halftime. Elmo Berry played his usual steady game and led the scoring with se en points. Coming back from the Furman loss, the Tigers went into the credit side of the ledger with a 46-36 win over Apprentice School. Tom Miller played his best game of the season, ably supported by Patterson, Sprye, and Murdock. The successors to the Five Smart Boys of Roanoke proved less potent than their predeces- sors, but were still hot enough to whip the Ti- gers, 53-39. Sadly off in all departments, the Smithmen never threatened. Sprye led the scor- ing with 15 points. Sweet revenge came to Death Valley in the year ' s outstanding game as the Tigers staged a brilliant exhibition to whip the highly-touted Spiders of Richmond, 36-33. A capacity crowd cheered madly as the lead see-sawed back and forth until a basket by Sprye and foul shots by Weed and Berry decided the issue. Weed, with II, and Captain Murdock, with 9, led the Tiger scoring. Suffering another period in the doldrums, the Tigers on a tour proceeded to drop three straight — Apprentice, 47 to 36; VilIiam and Mary, 47- 39; and Randolph-Macon, 44-37. The quintet was tired from tra el, and foimd the opponents ' courts not to their liking. Berry, Tasker, and Sprye played well, but the winning punch wasn ' t there. Still in the red, the Smithmen took another shellacking from Roanoke in the new gym. The Tigers trailed by 13 points at half and never came close, the final score being 43-31. Berry led the scoring with 10 points. In a dramatic climax to the season, five Sen- iors, playing the entire game, got revenge for an earlier loss and handed Randolph-Macon ' s Jack- ets a 4 1-34 defeat. Captain Murdock, Weed, Berry, Patterson, and Tasker all played hard, smart ball and were never headed, although the score stayed close the whole game. Veed and Tasker led the scoring. The first trio of these Seniors have been main- stays on the Tiger five for the last three years, . while the last two men have played stellar ball for the past two seasons. In their leaving, Hamp- den-Sydney loses more basketball talent than has been lost in any one season for several years. Next year will bring the Fabulous Frosh — Zyzes, Pugh, Li ick, Blanton, Taylor, and Glascock — up to support the varsity and plug the gaps which Murdock, Berry, Weed, Patterson, and Tasker leave. Alanager Joe Geyer will be sorely missed also. All in all, great things are predicted for the team in the coming year. They should be hot. FRESHMAIV BASKETBALL When the Frosh trounced the Varsity by lO points in a practice game early in January, it was evident that, in basketball as well as in foot- ball, the scholastic year of ' 40- ' 4i had ushered in a new regime of freshmen sport s. Under the tutelage of Deke Brackett, the Frosh went undefeated on their home court, were beaten only three times on foreign hard- wood. Plenty of capable reserves backed the power- ful first-stringers and frequently saw a good share of the action. Leading the Bengals were Ace Livick, Les Pugh, Charlie Blanton, Hook Zyzes, Frank Taylor, and Bill Tinlin. And they were hot : H.-S. . H.-S. . H.-S. . H.-S. . H.-S. . H.-S. . H.-S. . H.-S. . H.-S. .

This season the dia- monders will be coached by Deke Brackett and captained by Buddy Murdock, with all the var- sity men from last year back except Waldrep. Bill Chewning will again manage the team. Last season saw the Tigers off to a fine start with six wins out of eight, including victories over Drexel, Delaware, Haverford, V. P. I., and Lynch- burg twice. Outstanding in these victories were pitchers Wood, Comstock, and Hutchinson, who were backed from the mound by a well-balanced infield and a heavy-hitting outfield. Best perform- ances were Hutchinson ' s two-hit game against Lynchburg, and Weed ' s perfect day at bat against Delaware. Leading the Tigers in batting last year was Booty Shelton, veteran second-sacker, with .353 for the season. Following closely were Sid Weed with .350, Bobby Schultz with .347, and Jim Gregory with .333. This year the Tigers have another full sched- ule, listing games with most of the usual stiff op- ponents and stressing a strong state schedule. The main loss will be felt in the pitching staff, as Hutchinson and Comstock did not return to Seated: Gregory. Sctiulti. Atkinson, Tasker. Murdock. Weed. Hay, Wood, Stie ' ton, Woods.

On the whole, the team seems to be well forti- fied in every position, particularly if some fresh- men come through with good work. For the back- stop berth the field is headed by little General Hay, the mighty atom, with Doc Couldin on deck. Sid Weed may also be shifted to that spot to make room for his batting strength. Weed again will be the number one man for the job on the initial sack, his place last season, and he will be backed by Bobby Schultz and Freshman Tippy Morgan. Schultz will see quite a bit of action, as his long-distance hitting is an asset to the team. Walter Sprye and Booty Shelton will fight for the position of second baseman. The former is the better fielder; the latter the more potent hit- ter of the two. The keystone sack should be the strongest spot on the team. At short, Captain Buddy Murdock will have things under control, as he is probably the smooth- est and best all-around player on the team. How- ever, Bob Richmond, yearling from K. M. I., hopes to give him something to think about. Coach Brackett is counting a lot on the frosh to help him with the hot corner. The three con- testants are Harvey Woods, Roscoe Werder, and John McCraw. Billy Baskerville, last year ' s reg- ular third baseman, who has been shifted to the outfield, will return to take over for the confer- ence games. The outfield will be one of the fastest that has represented Hampden-Sydney for a long time. They will be led by P. T. Atkinson, a timely hit- ter and ball hawk; Billy Baskerville, transfer from the infield; Chick Tasker, a light hitter but an excellent fielder; and Earl Wood, when he is not on mound duty. Due to the loss of two stars, the mound corps will be definitely weaker than that of last year. Earl Wood is about the only man counted on to pitch stellar ball this year, but prospects on new material are fair. If either Jim Gregory or Harpo Bullock come through with winning ball, the team is set. Two freshman pitchers up from prep ranks are big question marks as yet. Bob Mistele boasts a hot season with K. M. I., while Ace Livick is counted on to develop into a starter for non-conference contests. If pitching prospects come through, and if some of the freshmen develop into good ball players, the Brackettmen will have a good season. On paper they are one of the strongest teams to represent Hampden-Sydney in several years. A S E B A L L [159] PfTCJfSA oouLbiii CATCHER. Lsrrneip SecoffooAic r t zo BA e G D L F Co-Capfdins Morton Dunlop and Jurge Fulton Last year ' s Tiger golf team, although dropping ten out of nineteen matches, was one of the most powerful teams ever to represent the school on the links. Some of the losses may be accounted for by the fact that several matches were played without the services of John Dunlop, a steady point-getter in his No. 4 position. The big four: Barnes, Engle, Fulton, and Dunlop, were consid- ered to be the best team since the ' 35 aggrega- tion, which featured Jeffries, Holden, Dotson, and Walden. Chances for another successful season depend on the development of a number four man. Ful- ton, Dunlop, and Engle are back to shoot their stellar golf, while Bullock, Dennis, and Winston are fighting for the number four post. This spot remains uncertain most of the season, as the two reserves have the privilege of challenging the win- ner of the qualifying rounds. The pre-season qualifying rounds show Fulton in the number one position, Dunlop as number two, Winston as number three, and Dennis as number four. Coach Francis Ghigo arranged the ' 41 sched- ule, which includes more state matches than in former years. Part of the schedule follows: Ap- prentice School, University of North Carolina, The Citadel, Davidson, Georgia, V. M. I., Wash- ington and Lee, Virginia, William and Mary, and Richmond. The team also spends some time in Athens, Georgia, playing in the Southern Inter- collegiate Tournament.

They lost only two meets, each to Southern Conference teams. The opening meet was lost to the Richmond Spiders in Death Valley by a 97-29 score. In- dividuals starring were Bobby Trice, winning the 100 and 200; Charlie Moser, winning the half, and Hoskins Sclater, winning the two- Co-Captain Bill Armes, holder of the school record for the 440-yard dash. mile event. The only other defeat was suffered at the hands of the Wake Forest Deacons. This meet was a moral victory, however, as three records were broken. Charlie Moser ran the 880 in 2:04; Bill Armes ran the 440 in 52 flat; and Sclater ran the two miles in 10:21. Gradually improving, the Tigers tied Wil- liam and Mary, Norfolk Division, in the next contest. Marked improvement in the weight division featured the Tigers ' stand. In the next two week-ends the track men downed Lynchburg and Randolph-Macon in easy con- tests that featured Cliff Holmes taking points in a wholesale fashion. In the Chesapeake Conference meet in May the Tigers came through for the fifth straight year to take first place by an easy margin. This year the outlook is not as bright as it was last season but Coach Ik Revely can be counted on to put a good team on the track. The weight men will be led by Co-Captain Bill Patterson, while the runners will be led by Co- Captain Bill Armes. Due to the loss of Trice, Mann, and Walden, the dash events are wide open. Several fresh- men, led by Emmy Venable and Billy Willis, are out for these vacated places in which, for T R A C [162] the last seven years the Tigers have consistently broken the tape. The 440- yard dash will be the best-taken- care-of event as Co-Captain Bill Armes and Toad Thurman are returning lettermen. How- ever, the situation in the 880 is just the oppo- site. Moser, one of the best runners in the state, did not return to school, and Baker, a letterman last year, will not run because of lab work. Veteran Tom Currie and several fresh- men will attempt to handle the job. Freshmen will also be featured in the distance events due to the loss of Boyd and Sclater via the graduation route. Holmes, Co-Captain Patterson, and Virts will bear the brunt of the burden in the weight division and should have a banner year if they improve as much as they did last year. Last year ' s number one hurdler, Johnny Jor- dan, is back and with Jack Armes in the low hurdles and Doc Lawson in the highs, should give the Tigers some points in the timber-top- ping division. Jordan and Thurman will take over in the high jump, while Thurman, Patterson, and Mc- Clellan will battle over top honors in the broad jump. Elmo Berry is the number one man for Co-Captain Bill Patter- son, ace weight man and broad jumper. the pole vault, assisted by Spencer, Gray, and Whitehead. The team this year is definitely a question mark, depending on the development of new material, but Coach Revely ' s men can be count- ed on to turn in good performances. sitting; Thurman.

K [163] WHITE PAIST PUGH TAYLOR Richmond (No. 1) was playing with the baseball team when pictures were taken. The ' 41 Racqueteers will play without the serv- ices of Doc Richards, Bill Gibson, and Lefty Smith. However, headed by Captain Allison, and with White, Paist and Richmond playing in the top berths, they are expecting their best season in CAPTAIN LEX ALLISON years. With the ground floor of the new gym resting squarely on the former site of the best two courts, the netmen will be cramped for play- ing space. The first two matches, already com- pleted, have been played in the new gym. Drexel beat the Tigers, 3-2; Bowdoin, 6-3. Besides Allison and Mitchell, the team is com- posed entirely of Freshmen and Sophomores — a hopeful note.

LINDSAY HUGHES BLANTON Lindsay Hughes Blanton was born in Cumberland County, Virginia, January 29, 1832. He died in Dan- ville, Kentucky, September 14, 1914. After graduating at Hampden-Sydney in 1853, he taught school and then studied for the ministry at Union Theological Semi- nary in Virginia, and at Danville Seminary, Kentucky. He was licensed to preach in April, 1857, was ordained in April, 1858, and became pastor at Versailles, Ken- tucky, in 1857, holding this pastorate until 1861. He became pastor of Salem Presbyterian Church April i, 1862, and held this pastorate until 1868, but from 1 862-1 865 was chaplain in the Confederate States Army. He was pastor at Paris, Kentucky, 1 868-1 880. Central University was established in Richmond, Kentucky, in 1873, and Dr. Blanton became Chancellor in 1880, and from that year to 1901 he revived and thoroughly reorganized the University. In this latter year Central University united with Centre College and the academic work was transferred to Centre at Danville, Dr. Blanton becoming vice-president at the time of the consolidation. He remained in this office until 1907. He became a member of the board of trustees at Centre College and continued in this office until 1913. Dr. Blanton was stated clerk of the Synod of Kentucky, 1 874-1 91 3. In 1880 he was granted the degree of Doctor of Di- vinitv by his Alma Mater, and in 1900, the degree of LL.b. LEWIS WARNER GREEN Dr. Alexander White Pitzer, who graduated at Hampden-Sydney in 1854, contributed to Tlie Kaleido- scope of 1898 an interesting sketch of Lewis Warner Green, who graduated at Centre College, Kentucky, in 1824, was President of Hampden-Sydney, r 848-56, and was later President of Transylvania University and of Centre College. Dr. Pitzer wrote that Dr. Green impressed him as one gifted with refined sen- sibilities, a vigorous and versatile mind, electric powers of oratory, a firm and comprehensive grasp of truth, and withal, deep spirituality and a rare devoutness of soul. Dr. Green was born in Kentucky in 1806, the young- est son of Willis Green and his wife, Sarah Reed, but bis father was born in Fauquier County, Virginia. Young Green entered Transylvania ITniversity and remained until the close of his junior year, and then completed his studies at Centre College when he was 18 years of age. He began the study of law, but changed to the study of medicine, and then decided to enter the ministry. When 21 years of age he married Miss Eliza J. Montgomery, who lived only two years. He entered the Theological Seminary at Princeton, but did not complete his course, as he was called to a professorship in Centre College in August, 1832. Here he taught Belles-Lettres and Political Economy. In October, 1833, he was licensed to preach. Dr. W. W. Hill, one of Dr. Green ' s pupils at Centre Col- lege, said t hat Dr. Addison Alexander was the best teacher he had ever had, and that Dr. Green was the second best. In April, 1834, Dr. Green married Mrs. Mary (Fry) Lawrence, and the two left for Europe, where Dr. Green studied for the next two years. On his return he received flattering calls to preach and to teach, one of the calls being to Transylvania Uni- versity. In 1840 he became professor of Oriental Lit- erature, Biblical Literature, and Biblical Criticism in the seminary at Allegheny, Pennsylvania, where he remained for seven years. He then became pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church, Baltimore, and in 1848 accepted the Presidency of Hampden-Sydney College. Dr. Pitzer quotes some one (name not given) as saying that at this time the literary and financial state of the college was in bad shape, the faculty small and nearly starved out, the endowment almost exhausted, and there were about 27 students. But under Dr. Green ' s leadership the college grew in numbers; the standard of scholarship was raised, the student body grew to nearly 150, and $80,000 had been added to the endowment. In 1856 Dr. Green became the President of Transyl- vania University, a state Institution located at Lexing- ton, Kentucky, but the next legislature failed to make the provision that had been promised, and this led Dr. Green to accept the Presidency of Centre College. He began his work there on January i, 1858, and his administration met with great success until the out- break of war in 1861. He died on May 26, 1863. One of his daughters, Letitia, married A. E. Stevenson, who became vice-president of the United States. At Hamp- den-Sydney little Tish, as she was called, was a great pet with the students. CHARLES W. DABNEY Charles William Dabney, son of Dr. Robert Lewis Dabney and his wife, Lavinia, (Morrison) Dabney, was born at Hampden-Sydney, June 19, 1855. He entered Hampden-Sydney in September, 1868, when 13 years old, and because of his youth his father did not permit him to take the full courses, and he gradu- ated in 1873. He was at the University of Virginia for three years, and was professor of Chemistry at Emory and Henry, 1877-78. He then studied in Berlin and Gottingen, taking the degree of Doctor of Phil- osophy at the latter institution in 1880. He was elected professor at the University of North Carolina in 1880, but accepted the position of director of the North Carolina Experiment Station the same year and remained there until 1887. He was professor of Agricultural Chemistry and director of the Tennes- see Experiment Station, 1887-90, President of the Llni- versity of Tennessee from 1887 to 1904, when he be- came President of the University of Cincinnati. It is not the purpose of the writer to give here a detailed account of Dr. Dabney ' s pioneer work in North Carolina and subsequently. It is hoped that this can be done in an article setting forth the eminent services of Hampden-Sydney men in the field of Public Educa- tion. It may he said, however, that from the time Dr. Dabney returned from Europe he showed a construc- tive mind of a high order and a statesmanship that has placed him among the greatest up-bullders of the South. Asked to take the professorship of agriculture at the University of Tennessee, he visited the Institu- tion, studied the situation, and declined, on the ground that, although the university was living almost entire- ly on the agricultural grant it was not properly organ- ized as an agricultural and mechanical college. There would have to be a complete reorganization if he was to accept the place. This of course meant an almost entire change of faculty and the raising of money to build chemical, physical, and mechanical laboratories. The board was evidently shocked into action, for they asked him to come back and tell them what to do. He told them, and they then asked him to accept the Presidency on his own terms. These terms were ex- plicit. They were accepted. The result was a revolu- tion — in the right direction. While Dr. Dabney was raising the money and build- ing a science hall and a mechanical department, Mrs. Dabney and the students raised $25,000 for a Y. M. C. A. building. There were about 125 students, and at least 50 of these were in the preparatory depart- ment. This department was abolished. [177] I ' riiin 1894 • ' 898 Dr. l)aline v;i granted leave it absence frnm the university tn liecome Assistant Secretary of the V. S. Department nf Agriculture under President Cleveland. He was asked hy President Mc- Kinley to continue his work, on the understanding that a special position was to be created for him, called Director of Scientific Work in the Department. The object was to make a permanent position, not subject to the changes of politics. He declined this and re- turned to Tennessee in 1898. The writer remembers the obstacles Dr. Dabney had to overcome t(t accomplish anything worth while at the University of ' I ' ennessee. At that time Tennessee, like Gaul, was divided into three distinct parts, all three of which fought each other; and because the university could not be located in all three of these parts at one time, two of them were jealous, while the part in which the university was located was indifferent, or worse. But slow as was the progress, each year saw a substantial gain for the university through his Her- culean efforts. During this period Dr. Dabney was a powerful factor in the revival of public education in the South, both before and while working with the Southern Education Board. It was because of his constructive work at the I ' ni- versity of Tennessee that he was asked in 190+ to be- come President of the (niversity of Cincinnati, which was created under the municipal university act passed by the Ohio Legislature in 1870, and the purpose of which act was to unite three then existing institutions, one of which was the old Cincinnati College. Dr. William II. McGutfey, author of the famous McGuflfe readers, was President of Cincinnati, 1836-39. It was Dr. Dabne ' s task and opportunity to build up the then existing university; tn weld other institu- tions into its corporate body; tn found a College of Engineering and Commerce, and a College for Teach- ers, as a part of the university; and in accomplishing these things, to find large sums of money necessary for the purpose. Bad management and politics had great- ly crippled the university; and one of his most difficult tasks was to improve the management and eliminate politics. The year after he took hold, a mill tax was inaugurated, which today is the equivalent of an en- dowment of about !f I 5,000,000; and in addition to this, by vote of the people, the city from time to time issued bonds for the erection of many of the university build- ings. In addition to this, philanthropists, noting the constructive work that was being done under Dr. Dab- ney ' s administration, came forward with large endow- ment funds. The total number of students under his administra- tion rose from a few hundred to 3,435, not including the 2,000 students in the Evening Colleges which he had started. The faculty increased in proportion. In 1920, when he resigned, he had made the University of Cincinnati one of the great educational institutions in America. For Dr. Dabney ' s other work in various lines, the reader must consult Who ' s If ' io in .America. The de- gree of Doctor of Laws was conferred upon him by Davidson College, Washington and Lee University, Yale, Johns Hopkins, and the University of Cincinnati. In all of this period of prodigious work he was in demand throughout the country as a speaker and lec- turer on educational, scientific, and political topics; was a writer in the fields of agriculture, science, educa- tion, and politics. In his retirement his maijnum nf-us has been his book on I ' iiiviisal EJiualioti in tin- South. J. DIELLE BLANTON ' Several ears ago, when visiting Nashville, Tenn., I was invited by President J. Dielle Blantnn of Ward- Belmont College to take dinner with him. During conversation I said, Dr. Blanton, when I was a boy eleven years old, and was present at the Hampden- Sydney Commencement exercises (1879), I saw a graduate of your name arise and begin the delivery of the valedictory. When about one-third through the address his memory failed him, and he stood there in silence. Instead of starting again with the last sen- tence he was uttering, in the effort to help his memory, he stood perfectly silent for two or three minutes, not looking at, but beyond, the large assemblage, and it was perfectly evident, even to a little boy, that he had gone back to the beginning of his address, believing that when he came to the place where he had stopped, he would be able to go ahead with a rush. The plan succeeded; he had no further trouble, and when he concluded, the audience gave him such applause as I have never seen surpassed. What relation was he to ou ? I asked, with a twinkle of humor in my eyes. I was the voung man, he said with a smile, and I can never forget the incident. This article must not be discursive; but the incident is worth recording, for it shows the sheer determina- tion, the inflexible purpose, not to be balked by diffi- culties. It was a prophecy. Gentle and quiet, he be- came one of the leading educators of the South by merit alone, and was, I dare say, one of the most respected and beloved men Avho ha ' e ever wrought in the field of education. After graduation he was principal of a public school near Mexico, Mo., for one year; of the Keytesville, Mo., public school two years; President of Watson Seminary, Ashley, Mo., three years; President of Kahoka, Mo., College one year; President of Elizabeth Aull Seminary, Lexington, Mo., six years. In May, 1883, he married M iss Anna Hawes Miller of Kevtes- ville. _ . _■ - In 1892 Dr. Blanton went to Nashville, as assistant to Dr. B. H. Charles, then President of Ward Semi- nary. Dr. Charles resigned in 1893, ■i ' ' l r- Blanton succeeded him, and continued in this position until the union of Ward Seminary and Belmont College was made in 191 3, when he became President of the new institution, and continued in this capacity until his death in October, 1933. Ward Seminary was founded in 1865, and took a prominent place among schools for young women. Belmont was founded in 1890, and soon established a high reputation. As the two schools were in many respects similar, it was decided to unite them and Dr. Blanton was a potent factor in the merger, and became the first President of the new institution. What was accomplished under his administration? In buildings Ward-Belmont College grew from one large, main building and two or three houses, rented to take care of the overflow of students, into a plant of 21 buildings and a campus of 45 acres. The stu- dent body grew from less than 300 to nearly 1,000. Educationally, Ward-Belmont grew from a preparatory school, doing some advanced work, to a thorough junior college, accredited by the Association of South- ern Schools and Colleges, and with a fully accredited Conservatory of Music. The equipment kept pace, and the library grew from a small collection to over 14,- 000 volumes. In 1901, Southwestern Presbyterian I ' niversity con- ferred upon him the degree of LL.D. In 1927 the Nashville Chamber of Commerce named Dr. Blanton as the leading citizen of that City of Schools, often called the Athens of the South: To honor him who is an honor to his community and an inspiration to his fellow citizens. Truly, as Dr. James I. Vance termed him, a golden-hearted man. [178] R. L DABNEY AND T. R. SAMPSON In his valuable Soul ieni Frishytirian Leadirs, page 391, Dr. Henry Alexander White says that In the year 1884, in connection with Dr. R. K. Smoot, Dr. Dabney (R. L. ) founded the Austin Theological Sem- inary. Teachers and pupils were alike few in number, but Dabney ' s Syslematic Tlivology, taught by the great master himself, constituted an admirable training for ministerial work. Dr. Dabney at this time was one of the members of the faculty of the University of Texas, and Dr. White says that During this period his great name and fame were among the chief assets of the Texas University. In 1894, becauce of illness. Dr. Dabney withdrew from the work of teaching. In the Austin Seminary Historical Slatemenl, Cata- logue of 1926-27, page 9, practically the same thing is said as to Dr. Smoot and Dr. Dabney, but the cata- logue adds, In 1895, it (the Austin School of Theol- ogy) suspended operations because of the illness of Dr. Dabney and his consequent removal from Austin, the indisposition of Dr. Smoot to carry on the work alone, and the lack of sufficient endowment to secure the serv- ices of the necessary additional teachers. However, the library was kept together, and the funds on hand were profitably invested by Dr. Smoot, and were sub- sequently turned over to Austin Seminary. In 189S, the Synod of Texas adopted a recommenda- tion to proceed to establish a theological seminary. Austin was decided on as the location, and trustees were elected in 1899; the seminary to be opened when not less than $100,000 should be in hand. In May, 19CO, Rev. Thornton R. Sampson, D.D., then President of Austin College, at Sherman, Texas, was elected President, and took office in June of that year. In April, 1902, the conditions had been met, the seminary having in hand $117,000. In October the seminary opened, and prospered in finances and grew in faculty and students. In 1905, because of ill health, President Sampson resigned and was made Professor of Church History and Polity. Early in September, 1915, while on a vacation in the Rocky Mountains, Dr. Sampson lost his life. In a letter from an official of the seminary the writer says, Dr. Sampson is (was) really the founder of the seminary here. He was instructed by the Synod of Texas to open an institution for the training of ministers in Austin when he had raised a minimum of $1000,000. This he achieved. Who, then, founded Austin Seminary? It is a merely technical question. Surely there is glory enough for the three — Drs. Smoot, Dabney, and Sampson. Two of these were Hampden-Sydney alumni ; Robert Lewis Dabney of the class of 1840 and Thornton Rogers Sampson, class of 1871. To sum up in a short sketch what Dr. Dabney ac- complished would be impossible, and an extended sketch would require more space than can be allowed. His biography, written by Dr. Thomas Cary Johnson, class of 1882, gives a full account of his great talents and his useful life, as scholar, author, teacher, preach- er, philosopher, chaplain in the Confederate States Army, Chief-of-StafI of Stonewall Jackson. Dr. Dabney was a Master of Arts of the University of Virginia. In 1852 Hampden-Sydney conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Divinity, and in 1877, with Southwestern Presbyterian University, the degree of Doctor of Laws. Thornton Rogers Sampson ' s services to the Church and to Christian education should be better known. He was indeed a child of Hampden-Sydney, having been born here on October 9, 1852, son of Dr. Francis S. Sampson of the Theological Seminary. He gradu- ated at the college in 1871, in the same class with James Riddle Thornton, whose name will always rank among the greatest teachers of Hampden-Sydney. After taking graduate work at the University of Virginia he taught school and then entered Union Theological Seminary, where he remained two years, and then studied in Edinburg, Scotland, and in Leip- zig, Germany, completing his studies there in 1877. Licensed and ordained in 1878, he became a missionary to Greece, where he remained until 1892. He was then Secretary of Foreign Missions of the Synod of North Carolina, 1892-1894. He then became President of the Assembly ' s Home School until 1897, when he was called to the presidency of Austin College, Sher- man, Texas, where he remained for only three years. There was a reason. One intimately acquainted with the situation wrote me that The biggest thing Dr. Sampson did was to hold the college together during a period of great turmoil and uncertainty. He added, The trustees attempted to run the institution rather than trust it to the President and faculty. You can guess the result. There were two results, and one of them was Dr. Sampson ' s resignation The trustees of Austin Theological Seminar} ' , recognizing his worth, called him to the presidency of that institution. In 1900 he was called to the presidency of Austin Theological Seminary, Austin, Texas. This position he filled with marked success until 1905, when on ac- count of ill health he was unable to continue the heavy responsibilities of the office. Recognizing his great usefulness and abilities, the trustees elected him to the chair of Church Histor ' and Polity. He held this position until September, 1915. Spending a part of his vacation at Grand Lake, Colorado, Dr. Sampson went out on September 4, 191 5, for an extended tramp, as he was fond of walking. That was the last ever seen of him. What happened to him in the mountains will probably never be known. Diligent and prolonged search revealed no clue. Dr. Sampson received the degrees of Doctor of Di- vinity and Doctor of Laws from Davidson College, North Carolina. He was the author of Form of Gov- rrjiment for the Greek Evangelical Church, and of a Commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians, in modern Greek. Handsome of person, of delightful humor and keen wit, he was a charming personality. GEORGE H. DENNY George Hutcheson Denny, son of Rev George H. and Charlotte M. (Wright) Denny, was born in Han- over County, Virginia, December 3, 1870. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree with first honor at Hamp- den-Sydney in 1 891, and his Master of Arts in 1892. He graduated at the Universitj ' of Virginia with the Ph.D. degree in 1896. He married in 1899 Janie Junkin Strickler, daughter of Dr. G. D. Strickler. A full outline of his brilliant career may be found in ir io ' s IFlio in America (1940-41 edition, p. 756). Dr. Denny was professor of Latin and German at Hampden-Sydney, 1896-99, and those who either stud- ied or took these subjects under him will testify that thoroughness was his middle name. He was pro- fessor of Latin at Washington and Lee University, 1899-1911; was Acting President, 1901-02; and was President, 1902-December, 1911. In his first year at Washington and Lee there were 237 students; when he left, there were 630. In 1901-02, there were 22 mem- bers of the faculty; in 1911-12, there were 46. In 1901-02 the endowment was $634,000; in 1911-13 it was $1,057,000. Dr. Denny regards his real life work as having been done at the University of Alabama. He was President of that institution for twentv-five vears. When he be- [179] came President in 1912, there were 500 Mudents in the regular winter session; when he resigned the Presi- dency in 1937, there were 5,000 students in the regular winter session, and in the summer |uarter there were 2,200 more; and this did not include those taking ex- tension and correspondence courses. While he was President at the I ' niversity of Alabama the facultv increased from 35 to 350; the invested endowment in that time grew from 1445,000 to $5,250,000, iiicluding a separately admiin ' stered endowment of $500,000 (physical education fund). And the value of the physical plant, equipment, etc., grew from about $600,- 000 to over $6,000,000. The State appropriation grew from $61,000 to $625,- 000. These figures are too eloquent for comment. If the reader wishes to know the degrees conferred on Dr. Denny, and the institutions which honored themselves in honoring him, he may consult the last edition of ll ' lm ' s II ' ho ; and he will see also the amaz- ing versatility of his services in the fields of scholar- ship, education, industry, and politics (using this word in its high sense). And he will see also that Dr. Dennv had time to write. In 1925, by popular vote, he was declared to be the first citizen of Alabama. Now Chancellor of the I ' niversity of Alabama, he lives at Lexington, ' irginia, enjoying a well-earned rest. J. LEIGHTON STUART John Leighton Stuart, son of Dr. and Mrs. |cihn Linton Stuart, was born in Hangchow, China, June 24, 1876. He graduated with honors at Hampden- Sydney College in 1896, taking the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Literature. He graduated with the Bachelor of Divinity degree at I ' nion Theo- logical Seminary, ' irginia, in 1900, after having taught at Pantops Academy. Hampden-Sydney gave him the degree of Doctor of Divinity in 1915, and Princeton University in 1930 gave him the degree of Litt.D. In 1904 he married Miss Aline Hardy Rodd. Mr. Stuart entered the missionary field in China in 1905, and, says Rev. P. Frank Price, D.D (Our China Inivstmrnt, page 67), He was assigned to Hangchow and took up countr evangelism in the field opened up by Dr. Matthew Hale Houston and con- tinued by his parents. Dr. Price says that Mr. Stuart continued in this work until 1914, and was then called to the New Testament Department in Nanking Theo- logical Seminary. Who ' s H ' ho in America (Edition of 1940-41, page 2497) says that he became professor of New Testament in 1908. This position he held until 1919, when he was called to the Presidency of Peking I ' niversity. Venching I ' niversity is a combination of three in- stitutions: Peking I ' niversity, North China I ' nion Col- lege, and North China I ' nion College for Women. The last named came into the combination in 1920, when the three institutions took the name of Venching. It was decided to build a new institution five miles out- side of Peking, and in 1926 the new campus was occu- pied. Here the sum of $2,500,000 has been spent, and there is an endowment of $2,800,000; indicating tre- mendous growth under President Stuart ' s administra- tion. Yenching was built for 800 students, but it now has a student body of 1,085. There is a faculty of over 100, and three-fourths of these are Chinese. Dr. Stuart is an author; he is a trustee of the China Foundation for the Promotion of Education and Cul- ture, and a member of the China Educational Commis- sion. He was decorated with the Special First Class Order of Merit, by the Republic of China. JAMES E. ALLEN A striking illustration of a builder, though not tech- nically a founder, of a college mav be found in the work of James E. Allen, son of Dr. Peter Woodward Allen and his wife, Frances Blount (Scott) Allen. He was born at Hebron, Dinwiddle Countv, ' irginia, on June 13, 1876. He graduated at Hampden-Svdnev in 1898. For two years he taught at Hat Creek, Virginia ; one year at Phoebus, ' irginia; was for two ears vice- principal and teacher of physics and Latin in the New- port News High School; in 1902-05 took graduate work in Latin at Johns Hopkins; for one vear was principal of the Newport News High School; 1906-09, was instructor in French and Cerman at Davis-Elkins College, West ' irginia; 1909-10, was principal in the Richmond, ' irginia, public schools; and on lulv i, 1910, became President of Davis and Elkins. I ' his position he occupied for twentv-five years. He faced a difiicult situation — to try to build a new- college, whose doors had opened in 1904. There were about 50 students, who for the most part were not scholastically of college grade. Two students gradu- ated in June, 1910; two in 1911; thirty-seven in 1935. As a Hampden-Sydney alumnus would do. President Allen stressed the liberal arts, but in order to keep the college alive financially he had, as he says, to stretch his conscience by adding elementary business courses and teacher training. The college had no endowment in 1910. It had close to $200,000 when he resigned in 1935. There was one major building when he took hold. The college was moved to the home- stead of former I ' . S. Senator Stephen B. Elkins, and three new buildings were erected; the library was built up, and the laboratories eipiipped, the student enroll- ment greatly increased. Davis-Elkins was organized under the auspices of Lexington Presbytery, assisted by Winchester Presby- tery. A few years later the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., came in, and later the Presbytery of West Vir- ginia; but however earnest this church support was, it was financially inadecpiate. This instance is not unique. In addition to this financial handicap, it must be borne in mind that West Virginia is too young to have a great tradition in the field of higher educa- tion. To quote a prominent educator of that State, The teacher training field has been over-emphasized and, while arts and science courses are making prog- ress, there is still too much technical work in the train- ing of teachers, and insufficient fundamental educating in the field of subject matter. One can realize, there- fore, the almost, if not quite, impossible task which confronted President Allen. Twenty-five years of it! On July I, 1935, Dr. Allen became President of Marshall College, a State institution. Again true to the Hampden-Sydney tradition, he has emphasized the arts and science courses, with considerable success. Marshall began as an academy in 1837. Its growth was quite slow until 191 5, when a second large build- ing was erected. Since then other buildings have been completed, three of them since the advent of President Allen, and a fourth (a new dining hall) is to be erected during 1941; and a new science building is in the offing.
