Despite his professional activities, however, Sallj ' has always found tiine to kccp up his athletic interest. For tour seasons C1905-O75 1013-lily he coached the baseball 'teanisg in 12105 and 1906 ho was head football coach, and it niay be noted in passing that he turned out the teani which beat the Arniy and niade things happen on lianibeth Field. Froin 1907 to 1912 he was graduate manager of the V. P. l. Athletic Association and has been holding the sanie office again since 19123. At the formation of the South Atlantic Inter- collegiate Athletic Association he was inade one of its board of managers, and since 151153 has also been first vice-president of the Association. Two other iinportant events in Mr. Milesis life reniain to be nientioned. On January T, 1913, he niarried Miss Virginia Longley Vawter. whose father was the late Captain Charles E. Vawter of the Miller School. In June of the same year he was elected president of the General Alunini Association of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, a position which he still holds. As stated at the outset, there is no diiiiculty in accounting for Mr. Miles's great popularity. His undoubted mastery of the subjects he teaches and the successful classrooin niethods he einploys combine to nialie his students admire and respect hini. All friends of athletics are grateful-to hiin, for there is no exaggeration in the statenient that the present athletic success and prestige of V. P. I. is chiefly due to the untiring and unseltish labors of 4'Sally M iles. His pleasing personality inakes friends for hini wherever he goes, and the integrity' of his character wins the esteein of those who know liiin. Very iittingly, then, is this volunie of the .BUGLE dedicated to the nian whoni all at V. P. l. delight to honor. a n . - X gas XX Q' ff ' .f ' Q fi i f ' I 'f-.
