T H E V I E G I N I A N To Mr. Cox In 1888 Mr. P . M. Cox was appointed Clerk and Business Manager of the Normal School at Farmville, Virginia. He has been called one of nature ' s accountants. His methods were his own, but they were so simple and satisfactory as to merit the highest praise from expert auditors. For a man to have such a personality that ten years after his death, two of his friends, though strangers to one another, could meet and spend a delightful two hours living over happy memories of their friend, gives proof of the rare human quality of the man ' s nature. This experience of mine can be duplicated l v the host of friends who knew Mr. Cox as a most lovable man. Time confirms the fact that schools are built around person- alities, and that the spirit of an institution is the composite of the souls of those who have breathed into that institution its verv breath of life. These immortal spirits live on, and shall live on, perpetuating the ideals and traditions of the place. As guide, counsellor, and friend, Mr. Cox was honored and loved by all those connected with our alma mater, whatever their stat on or degree. He was ever the generous-hearted, genial host ; and his merry laughter and kindly welcome created the home-like air that makes our alma mater unique among schools. Mr. Cox was a tradition, the tradition that f etters not, but inspires. Our lives are richer for having touched his, and we must pass on to others what he taught us of the good life. vJ vcAJU-je- v Jc 1 4

V O L U M E XXX I I I To Mrs. Portia Lee Morrison A strong woman in consecration to duty ; in loyalty to serv- ice ; in high ideals of the obligations for duties assumed, and in the faith that sustaineth to the end was Mrs. Portia Lee Morrison. From June, 1888, to June, 1905, Mrs. Morrison was the head of the home department of the Normal School, Farm- ville, Virginia. During this time, she was a pillar of strength and encouragement, of aggressive hope and confidence that all would be well. She never failed to look upward and onward, and her chief aim was to create for the students the atmosphere of a true home. Her strong personality, combining rare mental, social, and spiritual qualities, touched a responsive and quick- ening chord in the hearts of the students, the faculty, the mem- bers of the home department, and the citizens of the community. Possessed of a broad and liberal education, gifted with a naturally clear intellect, which was refined and cultivated by constant reading, study, and communion with the classics, both ancient and modern, with the literature of missions, and with the spiritual teachings of the Bible, Mrs. Morrison was an or- nament to any scholarly circle. Pure of life, inflexible in integrity of purpose, warm and generous of heart, charitable in impulse and deed, she meas- ured up to the stature of a noble woman, a true leader, one who has left an indelible impression for good upon the hearts of those who were blessed with intimate association with her. % t - £■= 1 9 3 4
