their implications. The aim of instruction, as he saw it, was the de- velopment of character and of the powers of reason. It was desir- able that boys know facts, but it was essential that they have alert minds. Language and mathematics and history and the sciences could contribute to mental discipline, but all these failed unless they were taught in an atmosphere of manliness, of truth and of fair play. Be- cause those were his ideals, he received into his school much of the best human material in Virginia. Hundreds there are, of parents and of former pupils, who will attest the skill, the love and the wisdom with which he shaped that material. His intellect, as vigorous as discerning, was devoted in every leisure hour to the church, the Commonwealth and the Confederacy. Scholars sought him out to benelit alike by his knowledge and by his judgment in many realms of history. All that he wrote and all that he edited throughout his career had the mark of high, accurate scholarship, and the mark, no less, of his magnificent personality. It is not in farewell that his friends grieve at his passing and pay tribute to him. His life goes on and on in those whose lives he enriched. 1 DOUGLAS S. FREEMAN.
