Incorporated 906 Main Street LETTERS Dear Mrs. Payne: . . . When I returned to camp Ifrom a recent visit to Lynchburg and V. E. SeEdJ I was sent to the Replacement Depot as a tank destroyer casual re- placement. I hope to ship out soon as I have been waiting now for weeks. . . . It seems funny that exactly six years ago today, Sept. 12, 1938, was the first day at V. E. 5. What a long way Itve come from that day. I have been thinking that an alumni endowment fund should be established in order to provide a memorial alumni scholarship for some worthy boy. Such a fund is being established at U. Va., and I see no reason why V. E. S. couldntt follow in our footsteps. I think there could be no better lasting memo- rial to these boys than to have a fund that will enable some worthy boy to go to V. E. S. who otherwise couldntt. The goal should be $10,000; so if every alumnus gave $10.00, we would have more than enough. What do you think of such a plan? I wish you would tell Dr. Barton and other people. I mean to write to him myself and per- haps the Bishop or the Board, as I am very serious about such a fund. . . . JOHN HIGGINSON. Pvt., Co. E, 8th BIL, 3rd Rgt., A. G. F.

Bebcau, Carwtt, Milton, Bell The Clergy Come Back to SchooW ltMost 0f the clergy of the diocese took time out from their more or less busy lives to attend a conference here at V. E. S. from September 11 to the 13th. There was one who was sick and could not come; another had a meeting and asked to be excused, while a third one said he just couldnt get therei4but theirs was the loss for having missed the attentive hospitality of Dr. Barton who did everything from waking them up in the morning to supplying them with the daily papers with the compliments of the house. The occasion was the annual clergy conference of the diocese of Southwestern Virginia which was held under the leadership of Dr. Reuel Howe, professor of Practical Theology at the Vir- ginia Seminary. His lectures dealt with the general theme of Religious Education in the parish, stressing the opportunities for such education as found in in- struction for marriage, baptism. preparation for confirmation, visiting of the sick, etc. Dr. 'tThis statement is the work of Rev. Carlton Barnwell, D. D., rector of St. Paul's Church, Lynchburg, and a mem- ber of the board of directors of the school. The editor takes no responsie bility for its accuracy or implications. Howe proved extremely stimu- lating, as were the discussions which followed each lecture; but like most conferences, it raised more problems than it answered 4-which is more of a boost than a knock, for that makes the par- ticipants think, which is always a good thing. H Delegates Find School Life Puzzling uThe clergy were very appre- ciative of the opportunity of enjoy- ing the facilities of their own dio- cesan school. Some of them had previously profited by the culi- nary wizardry of Mrs. Dawson and knew what to expect from this department of the school life. But getting adjusted to 3rd Main was something else again. There was some little confusion as they milled about, each one seeking out for himself the most attractive cubby hole, but they finally fitted themselves in one way or another. iMy gracious ll one was heard to exclaim, l1 didnt know cubicles were like thisV No statement could be ob- tained from Mr. Follett twho had to stay up there with theml except the cryptic remark, KItill be nice when all the boys get backfli
