oe EDICATION — Richmond, progressive city of the South, located on the historic James River, had its beginning in 1607, just four weeks after the Englishmen landed at Jamestown. In the streets of Richmond we detect the foot- steps of Washington, Lafayette, Lee, Madison, and Monroe. Among the famous buildings in this city is the John Marshall House, named for the nation’s great- est Chief Justice. From this house Marshall Street got its name. Leading citizens incorporated the Bank of Richmond. Later they named Bank Street for the building. The James River Canal furnished a means of bringing produce — including tobacco, upon which Richmond's wealth depends — down to the market. Out of a small settlement grew a great industrial city and capital of the Old Dominion. To Rich- mond — our city and our people — we dedicate this 1952 MaRSHALLITE.

“On first section of our book is customarily devoted to “The School.” We do not believe a more suitable subject to open this section could be found than the magnificent figure of General Robert E. Lee, beloved commander of the Confederate armies and distinguished Virginia educator. This equestrian statue of General Lee is one of the Monument Avenue group. “Reprinted by special permission from Hotiay, copyright by the Curtis Publishing Company”
