Sundry unsought but well-deserved honors have come to General Shipp by the way. In 1890, he was one of the Visitors to the United States Military Academy. In 1891, Washington and Lee University conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Laws. In 1894, he was president of the Visitors to the United States Naval Academy. In 1869, General Shipp married Miss Nannie, the beautiful and accomplished daughter of Mr. Arthur A. Morson, of Richmond, Virginia. After a peculiarly happy married life of fifteen years, Mrs. Shipp died February 20th, 1884, leaving to him the care of three small children, — two daughters and a son. This charge he fulfilled faithfully and well. The daughters are both married to graduates of the Virginia Military Institute. Arthur Morson, the son, a V. M. I. graduate of ' 97, is a lieutenant in the Twentieth United States Infantry, and is now seeing active service in the Philippines. General Shipp is striking in personal appearance, and a man of strong individuality. To those not well acquainted with him, he would be considered somewhat brusque and austere, but inti- mate acquaintance discovers behind all this a warm and tender heart, one which manifests not only a strong solicitude for the welfare and progress of cadets while under his immediate charge, but which follows them in their subsequent lives with a show of interest truly remarkable. His life long, he has been a close stu- dent ; and his fund of sound and ready information in so many and so varied fields shows how broad is the grasp of his mind. General Shipp ' s conspicuous success as commandant of cadets has been remarked. As superintendent, he has been the more successful as his field has been wider. The same untiring energy and faithfulness characterize him ; he is still careful of the minutest details ; yet, withal, he is thoroughly alive to the larger needs of the institution over which he presides. The Virginia Military Insti- tute has a safe and aggressive head and helmsman in Scott Shipp. W. S. Hancock, ' 90.
