In View of his achievements, it is altogether unnecessary to speak of his ability as :x lawyer, or of his wisdom as an adviser, or ol his effectiveness as zx man of affairs, The quality in him that those who know him well think of oftenest is his capacity for friendship. His friendship is a very active thing too-it is energetic devotion. In most people, friendship is only a static force-or oltener still, a merely more or less conscious state ol passivity-in him it is dyxzamic. He loves to spend himself in the service of his friends. As all men who like strongly, he dislikes stronglyg but, while his friendship calls out all his energy in sell-initiated service, his dislike never yet induced a malicious or unjust act.

X V . ll - fl. - f l Our efforts this year have been exerted to edit X ll A X . an annual which would be purely local in character, ll Q It l X l' l a book which from cover to cover would reflect l L B some phase, some manifestation or other, of the stu- Q 3 l dent life here. lrirnarily, of course. the book is intended to be of interest to the University of Vir- ginia student, but it is hoped as well that an outsider, desirous of knowing something of our University life, may not be disappointed when he resorts to CORKS AND CURLS to fumish him with the information. We have endeavored to confine ourselves to literature which is typical of the lighter side of our life and is humorous in style. We will admit that in this we have not entirely succeeded and, as we review the substance of our contributions, we are alarmed to find that on a certain phase of student life we have dwelt to too great an extent. The student will of course understand the exaggeration, we trust that other readers will do likewise. This year has been especially uneventful and, in consequence, we have taken resource to handing out a few knocks. It has been done good-naturedly and from lack of other subjects of interest. If any one should take offense he deserves the meaning which his construction of the otherwise harmless persiflage conveys. We take this occasion to again express our deep gratitude to those whose contributions make up the substance of this issue. ln the Art Department we are especially appreciative of the generosity and willingness of Miss Bowles, Mr. Shepherd, and lVlr. Walker, but we are no less grateful to Mr. Kearfoot, Mr. Zeisberg, lVliss Price, Mr. Wrcnn, lVlr. Mackall, Mr. Watkins, Mr. Munson, lVlr. Moyston and Mr. Kelly. To the above-mentioned artists, whose kindness and ability have made the Art Department what it is, CORKS AND CURLS owes her reputation as a well-illustrated annual. Amongst those who have contributed to the Literary Department is one to whom we owe the sincerest thanlcsg he has by his untiring efforts helped us in every way possible and his ability as a writer has given this issue, as well as many previous ones, literature which needs no comment to call attention to its clevernessg we refer to Mr. Lewis D. Crenshaw. For other contributions to this department we are deeply indebted to lVlr. Bardin, lVlr. Stead, Mr. Bryant, Mr. I-lunter, Mr. Gooch, lVlr. French, Mr. Cleveland and a few others who, being very modest, do not wish their names disclosed. Well, here is the I9lO CORKS AND CURLSQ if you receive it favorably we will feel requited for the work we have done. If you don't like it, then go ahead and criticiseg it will seem to us but a fitting climax for the many reverses we .have met withg besides, work and worry have made us immune to disappointment. Thank Cod it's over with!
