That the book is sadly different from that which was pictured to the enthusiastic mass-meeting of the students last fall, when it was vociferously decided that an Annual should forthwith be published, different from what we would have had it, and most sadl ' of all, different from that which would have fitly rep- resented the life and work at Washington and Lee, is only too true. But the editors would excuse themselves — and their e.xcuse — by reminding the public of the peculiar difficulties under which their work has been done. The strong spirit of conservatism that has so long characterized this institution is well known. Any new adventure must needs prove itself well before it receives the support of either faculty or students. Added to this natural distrust inspired by a new enterprise, was the recollection of the unsuccessful attempt to publish an Annual two jears ago, and a consequent inclination on the part of those expected to do work to idly await the failure of the present attempt rather than to come forward and actively secure its success. But as a considerable offset to these discouragements at home must be mentioned the steady and substantial encouragement of the Alumni. May blessings be upon the Old Boys! With much greater labor than was ever anticipated b) ' the editors, after encountering man) ' obstacles whose existence was before unsuspected, the work has at last been completed and the Cal ?I ' s given to the public, not with any claim of literary merit, but with the earnest hope that to the student, soon to leave the Campus, it may in after years recall many of the pleasant mem- ories of these years we have here spent together; that to the Alumnus, immersed in the cares of real life, it ma ' serve as a talisman to roll back the years that are past and bring him again to the bright da s of his college life, without the accompanying spectres of toiling nights and aching heads, of exams and flunks, and restore to him many of the friends that may have passed beyond liis ken; and that to the general public it ma) ' in some measure truly reflect the lights and shades of student life, the hard work done, the happy davs passed in dear old Washington and Lee.

He entered Washington College in 1846, and was graduated first in a class of twenty, in 1849. During the session of ' 48- ' 49, he was Assistant Professor of Mathematics. The next year he spent in teaching a classical school in Charlottesville, Va., in which he was associated with our late revered Professor of Greek, James J. White. Enter- ing the University of ' irginia in September, 1850, he was given his Master ' s degree in 1853. During the session of i8s3- ' 54. he was Assistant Professor of Mathematics, after the death of Professor E. H. Courtenay in September, 1853. Professor Nelson, in 1852, had declined an election to the chair of Mathematics in William and Mary College, but accepted a call to the Professorship of Mathematics in Washington College, extended in the spring of 1854. This position he has ever since held. In 1893 Professor Nelson ' s lecture on Surfaces of the Second Order were published in the work on Analyti- cal Geometry, by Col. E. W. Nichols, Professor of Mathematics in the Virginia Military Institute. T 0 ' i ' Y ' f ' Vuv.l a Cbarlcs a. (Braves. Was born October 20, 1850, in Albemarle Co., Va. Entering Washington and Eee University he was graduated with the degrees of M. A. and B. L. While an undergraduate he was editor-in-chief of the Southern Collegian and won two of the Robinson Prize Medals. In 1869 he was made Assistant Professor of English and Modern Languages. In 1S73 he became Assistant Professor of Law, and in 1874 Adjunct Professor of Law. In 1875 he was appointed to the chair of Common and Statute Law, Washington and Lee University. He is a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. Professor Graves is a member of the American Bar Association, and one of the im- portant standing committee on Legal Education and Admission to the Bar. He also belongs to the Virginia State Bar Association, being a member of i ts committee on Library and Legal Literature. On August 2, 1893, lie read before a meeting of the latter association, at White vSulphur Springs, a masterly paper, entitled Extrinsic IH Kvidence in Respect to Written Instruments, whicli was printed in the report of the association, and reprinted in the American Lawyer and The American Law Review. In the Virginia Law Journal for ApriL 1880, is an article b}- Professor Graves, entitled Dying Without Issue under Virginia Statutes, and for October, 1883, another on The Effect of a Definite Failure of Issue on the Operation of the Rule in vShelley ' s Case. In 1880 were published Professor Graves ' Notes on Real Property, for the use of Students, and in 1894 his Summary of the Law of Real Property, for the use of students, in connection with the Second Book of Black- stone ' s Commentaries. Professor Graves is also associate editor of the ' irginia Law Register. 3ainc5 a. Ibarrison was born at Pass Christian, Miss., in 1S48. The son of wealthy parents, he had every advantage of early educa- tion, and already gave evidence of the scholarl} and literary tastes thit have since distinguished him, when the fall of New Orleans sent his family as refugees to Thomasville, Ga. After the close of the war he resumed his preparatory studies for the University of Virginia, where he remained two years. At this institution he pursued the study of Greek with especial success under the teaching of Professor Gildersleeve. After leaving the Univer- sity of ' irginia he taught one year in Baltimore, and then went to Europe where he remained two years, study- ing at Bonn and Munich. Upon his return to America, in 1.S71, he was elected to the chair of Latin and Modern Languages in Randolph Macon College. In 1875 he was elected to the chair of English and Modern Languages in ' auderbilt LTniversity. This he declined, but in the following year accepted the corresponding chair in Washington and Lee University, to which he had been elected without application. As an author Professor Harrison has achieved an enviable position, being one of the most famous and suc- cessful of the large class of Southern writers that have come into prominence since the war. In connection with his professional work he has written French Syntax, Easy French Lessons, an edition of Heine ' s Reise- bilder, and an Anglo- vSaxon Dictionary. ' ' He is the originator of the Library of Anglo-Saxon Poetry. which includes Beowulf, Exodus and Daniel Elene, ' ' Andreas, and Zupitza ' s Old and Middle p;nglish Reader. In this work he had as his collaborators. Professors Hunt, Kent, Barkerville, Sharp and MacLean. Beowulf, of which the fourth edition is just out, has been especially well received, having been adopted as a 17 text-book in Oxford and other English universities, and very generally in America. As a result of his travels and studies in Europe we have two books of charming sketches, Greek Viquettes and Spain in Profile, and a ' • History of Spain. ' Professor Harrison was .selected to write the first of the now popular Story of the Nations series of histories, the Story of Greece. The first published book was a volume ot reprinted essays entitled A Group of Poets and their Haunts But, however important the.se works appearing as separate books, it is probable that Professor Harrison ' s best and most scholarly work has been done for the columns of dictionaries and the various critical and .scientific journals, that, if collected, would form many volumes. For three years he was engaged as etymologi.st in The Cent ury Dictionary, working in conjunction with the late Professor Whitney and Dr. Scott, and for a like period he was employed by Funk and WagnoUs as definer in the departments of German Rhetoric, History, Art, Archae- ology, Mythology and Heraldry, for the recently published Standard Dictionary. Numerous technical articles from his pen have appeared in the American Journal of Philology, and an article on ' Negro English, published while in Germany, in Anglia, ' attracted unu.sual attention from English scholars, and is often quoted. Besides these there have been contributed to The Critic, ' ' • The Nation, The Independent, ' The Literary World, and like periodicals, many book reviews and criticisms on various literary topics. Such magazines as Lippin- cott ' s ' Appleton ' s, and The Overland Monthly, contain many of his miscellaneous sketches of travel, lectures and reviews. We marvel at the industry and scholarship that have enabled a teacher burdened with the conduct of .so large a department as Professor Harrison ' s, to accomplish so much literary work of lasting worth ; but he has not confined his professional activity to his classroom at Washington and Lee University. He delivered a cour.se of ten lectures in Anglo-Saxon Poetry at Johns Hopkins I ' niversity, and his annual public lectures are eagerly looked forward to by all those privileged to hear them. He is a member and the organizer of the Modern Lan- guage As.sociation. But Professor Harrison ' s literary work is l)y no means limited to critical and scientific subjects. Besides those publications of lighter vein that have been mentioned above, he has written occasional short stories and fre- quent little poems that sparkle out unexpectedly in the columns of the journals to which lie contributes. These latter are characterized by a wealth of vivid imagery that is at times almcst Oriental. Professor Harrison received the degree of LL. D. from Randolph-Macon College, and that of Litt. D. from Columbia College, New York. He has received tempting offers of professorships in such institutions as Tularre University and the Universitv of Texas, but we all earnestly hop; that he is firmly fixed in Lexington and the Facult - of our Alma Mater. If Si nc ? . flDol•clan Was born in Homer, La., Nov. 27. 1852. He entered Washington and Lee L ' niversity, Sept. 1.S72, and received the degrees of C. li., B. S., A. B., L A. During his college career he won a Department Scholarship, the Young Prize Scholarship and one of the Robinson Prize Medals. He is a member of the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity. After graduation he taught in the McDonogh school, Maryland, until 1880. when he was elected Professor of Natural Philosophy in Washington and Lee University. Professor Moreland has made occasional contributions to such scientific periodicals as The Electrical Engineer, The American Journal of Science, The Electrical Review, ' and The Annals of Mathematics. He is a member of the American Mathematical Society, and F ' ellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. 3ainc9 H. ©uarlcs Was born near Boonville, Mo., April 30th, 1837. Aiter due preparation at the Kemper School, he became a student at Westminster C illege, Mo. After being graduated with the degrees of A. B. and A. M., he entered the University of Virginia, and later the Princeton Theological Seminary. After completing his theological studies, he was ordained to the ministry, and at various times was pastor of churches at Glasgow, Lexington and St. Louis, all in Missouri. He was also successively principal of the Kemper School, the Glasgow Public School, and the Elizabeth Aull Female Seminary. In 1886 he was elected Profe.s.sor of Moral Philosophy in Washington and Lee University. The degree of D. D. was given him by Westminster College, and that of LL. D. by Cen- tral University. Dr. Quarles has written on religious, economic, educational and philosophic questions for the weekly papers of his church, the Baltimore Sun, the American Magazine of Civics. the Southern Presbyterian Review, ' and the Presbyterian Quarterly. He has published in book form the Life of F. T. Kemper, and now has about ready for the press a work on Theism and Apologetics. Dr. Quarles is a clear and forcible lecturer, not only before his classes, but also on the public platform. His course of lectures on Psychology, before the West Virginia Teachers Institute last summer, met with especially high praise. He is a member of the Phi Ka]3pa Psi Fraternity. 1!) Ibcnrv 2). (lampbell. Was born in Lexington, Va., July 29, 1S62. He entered Washington and Lee University in September, 1.S76, and was graduated Master of Arts in 1882, and Doctor of Philosophy in 1885. He was Cincinnati Orator in 1882 and won the Santini Medal the same year; he also held the Howard Houston Fellowship, 1884-85. In 1882 he was appointed Instructor in Chemistry and Geology, and in 1884, Assistant Professor in Chemistry and Geology. Going to Europe in 1886, he spent two years in study at Berlin and Heidelberg. In 1887 he was elected Profes- .sor of Chemistry and Geology in Central University. Ky. , but declined the election in order to accept the profes- sorship which he now holds in Washington and Lee University. He is a member of Phi Gamma Delta. Prof. Campbell is a member of the American Society for the Advancement of Science and Fellow of the Geological Society of America. He has at various times contributed articles on the geology of Virginia, to The American Journal of Science, the Bulletin of the Geological Society, and The Virginias, and also to Dana ' s Manual of Geology. He spent the summer of 1891 and 1892 in work connected with the U. S. Geological Survey. 3obn 1Ran oIpb Zwchcv Was born in Winchester, Va., Dec. 24, 1823. He was prepared for college at Richmond Academy, from which he went to the University of Virginia, where he was graduated in 1844, as Bachelor of Law. He immediately began to practice his profession in Winchester, though with but little .success at first. In the presidential elections of 1852 and 1856, he ser -ed as an elector on the Democratic ticket and was elected Attorney General of ' ir- ginia in May, 1857, to fill an unexpired term, and was re-elected in 1859 and 1863. It was while holding this office, just before the war, that he gave his famous opinion holding that the United States mail could be opened by State officials upon warrant from a competent court, in order to prevent the dissemination of hurtful and revolu. tionary documents. Being disposses.sed of his office by the result of the war, he again began the practice of law. In 1870 he was elected Professor of Equity and Constitutional Law in Washington and Lee University. He continued to occupy this chair till 1874, when he was elected to Congress, of which he was a member till 1887. 20 For eight j ' ears he was a member of tlie Va)-s and Means Committee, of which he was chairman for a short time. He was chairman of the Judiciary Committee in the Fort ' -eighth and Forty-ninth Congresses. While a member of Congress Mr. Tucker exerted great influence over the deliberations of that body. His most famous speeches are those made in reference to the Tariff, the Electoral Commission Bill, the Constitutional Doctrine as to the count of the Electoral Vote, the Hawaiian Treaty of 1876, the Federal Elections Bill, in 1S79, and Chinese Immigration, in 1883. He was also the principal factor in securing the defeat of the famous Blair Bill. In 1889 he was elected Profe.ssor of Equity and Commercial Law, and of Constitutional and International Law, in Washington and Lee University. Mr. Tucker is an orator of great power and generally recognized as the first authority on Constitutional Law in America. He has, beside innumerable political speeches, delivered many public addresses that have been generally noticed and widely published. The most famous of these are probably those delivered at Saratoga, in 1877, before the Social Science Association, and at New Haven, before the Yale Law School, 1887, and the two great addresses before the American Bar Association at Saratoga, August, 1892, on British Institutions and American Constitutions, ' and at Milwaukee, August, 1893, as President of the Associa- tion, to which office he had been elected the preceding year. The ovation which Mr. Tucker received upon the delivery of his recent address before the Virginia Bar Association at Richmond, proves that the students of Washington and Lee are not alone in thinking that Old Ran has the biggest head and the biggest heart in all the land. Mr. Tucker received the degree of LL. D. from Vale in 1887. He now has in preparation a work on Constitutional Law, the publication of which is eagerly awaited. )avi C. Ibumpbrcv s Was born in Wythe County, X ' irginia, October 14, 1855. He entered the engineering office of Major Hotchkiss, in Staunton, Va.. and there conceived a strong liking for the profession that he afterward made his own. In 1874 he became office assistant and draughtsman for the Valley Branch of the B. 0. R. R. Entering Washing- ton and Lee University, September, 1875, he won the Taylor Scholar.ship, the Scholarship in Applied Mathematics and the Robin.son Medal in Applied Mathematics, and was graduated with the degree of C. E. in 1 78. During the se.ssion of 1877-78 he was Instructor in Mathematics. He belonged to the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity. In 21 the summer of 1878, he attracted the notice of engineers by increasing the water supply of Lexington, bringing the water from a spring three and one-third miles distant from the reservoir, and over a high ridge of hills, a feat that had been thought impossible. During the session of ' 78- ' 79 Prof. Humphreys taught at the McDonogh School, which he left to enter, as draughtsman and assistant engineer, the office of Lt. Col. Suter, in charge of the Army Corps engaged in improving the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. In i884- ' 85, he had charge of the observing parties in the triangulation of the Missouri River. For a short time he was in charge of the engineering department of Washington University, St. Louis, but came to Washington and Lee Uni versity as adjunct Pro- cessor of Applied Mathematics, Oct., 1885. He was made professor of his department in 1889. Prof Humphreys is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the Association of Civil Engineers of Virginia, ' and the ••Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education. He recently read a paper before the Good Roads Convention in Richmond, which was published in the report of the proceedings of the Convention by the De- partment of Agriculture. Prof. Humphreys has just published a work entitled, Notes on Rankine ' s Civil Engineering, after the Notes of Profs. Wm. Allan and G. W. C. Lee, which has attracted the most flattering notices from engineering periodicals, and will probably be widely used in schools of engineering. 1bcnv ) alCIan cv Mbitc Was born in Greenbrier County, Virginia April 15. i860, of Scotch-Iiish parentage. He was a student of Wash- ington and Lee University from i88i to 18S7. The degrees of M. A. and Ph. D. were conferred upon him in 1885 and 1887, respectively. During his career as a student he won almost every prize and honor within the gift ol the University, from a Department Scholarship to the Howard Houston Fellowship, and including the Orator ' s Medal and the Santini Medal. He was editor-in-chief of the Collegian, i883- ' 84. Assistant in Moral Philosophy and Belles-Lettres 1886, and Assistant Professor of English, Modern Languages and Modern History, i885- ' 87. He attended Union Theological Seminary, i887- ' 8S, and Princeton Theological Seminary, i888- ' 89, from which he was graduated. Ordained as minister of the Gospel by the Lexington Presbytery, 1889. he was called to churches in Virginia, Missouri and Mississippi, and to the chair of Greek in Westminster College, Mo., but de- clined all to accept an election to the chair of History in Washington and Lee University. In 1891 he declined a call to the Presidency of Central University, Ky., which had conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Divinity. Dr. White, besides numerous contributions to the Southern Presbylcrian Onartcrly and other period- icals, published in 1891 An Historical Study of the Epistle to the Hebrews, a little volume of 25 pages, and An Historical Study of the Writings of St. John, a critical work of 181 pages. In 1894 appeared his latest work, The Origin of the Pentateuch in the Light of the Ancient Monuments. This is an interesting and scholarly book of 304 pages, in which strongly conservative views are maintained. At Pittsburgh, in 1890, Dr. White addressed the Scotch-Irish Society of America on The History of W a.shington and Lee University, and at Atlanta, 1892, on Three American Ideals: Puritan, Cavalier and Scotch-Irish. le win Mhitticl jfa Was born January ist, 1S65, at Minden, Louisiana. He entered the Southwestern Presbyterian University, December, 1879, and was graduated Master of Arts, June, 1883. Having spent the three years after his gradua- tion in teaching, he entered Johns Hopkins University in October, 1886. He was University Scholar in Sanskrit and Comparative Philology. i-Sj ' ss, Fellow in j888- ' 89, and graduated Doctor of Philosophy, June, 1890. Mr. Fay spent the next session at the University of Michigan, as instructor in Sanskrit and Ancient Languages. Going to Europe in 1891, he .studied at the University of Leipsic for a year. Returning to America he was appointed As.sociate Profe.s.-or of Latin, vice Profes.sor Fitz-Hugh, in the Univer.-,ity of Texas. He became Pro- fessor of Latin in Washington and Lee University in 1893. A list of Mr. Fay ' s numerous technical writings is as follows: Oricin.al . RTrcLES : ,6) The Latin Gerundive n-ndo. Mn.

In 1869 lie graduated in Hamp- den-Sidney College, and spent the next three years at the University of Virginia. In June, 1872, he was elected to the chair of Greek in Hampden-Sidney College, which position he held, teaching French as well as Greek, till ' 86, with the exception of two years (sessions of ' 83- ' 84 and ' 84- ' 85) .spent in Europe on leave of absence. He was elected to the chair of Greek in the University of Mississippi in July, 1886. After three years ' .service there the chairs of Greek and Latin were consolidated, and he was put in charge of the department of Ancient Languages, resigning his position in June, ' 93, in order to accept the Professorship of Greek in Wa.shington and Lee Univer.sity. He -has done some reviewing for the columns of The Nation, his last article being a rev-iew of Pro- fes.sor Goodwin ' s revised edition of The Moods and Tenses of the Greek Verb. In the sunnner of ' 89 he pub- lished ' ' The Irregular Verbs of Attic Prose : their Forms. Prominent Meanings, and Important Compounds, together with Lists of Related Words and English Derivatives.

B. He entered the ITniversity of Gottingen in August, 1880, and in March, 1882, received the degree of Ph. D. in chemistry and mineralogy, magyia cunt laudt. He studied special branches in chemistry at Berlin through the summer semester, 1882. In 1882-83 he was instructor in Natural Sciences at Brooks Military Academy, Cleveland, O. From 1883 to 1887 he was Professor of Chemistr_v and Geology at Central University, Richmond, Ky.; 1886-94 he was Scientist and Lecturer to the Polytechnic Society of Kentucky at Louisville ; 1887-94 Professor of Chemistry and Toxicology at the Hospital College of Medicine, and Professor of Chemistry and Metallurgy at Louisville College of Dentistry, Dspartments of Central University, and Dean of both Depart- ments. He has conducted several courses of popular lectures, and is a member of several scientific .societies in Europe and America, among these the American Association for the Advancement of Science, of which he was Secretary Chemical Section, 1892, Secretary of the Council, 1 894, and is General Secretary of the Association for the present year. He was a member of the committee of the latter society on Spelling and Pronunciation of Chem- ical Terms, whose report was adopted by the Association in 1S92 and has since been published b - the Commis- sioner of Education and adopted by the Standard Dictionary.

X thf L ' ur 1732, making his way down the x ' alle) ' of X ' irginia towards tlic mountains, whose rugged outHnes reminded liim of his native hmd, a strange figure might have been seen. He is tall, well built, stern of countenance, and is clad in a buckskin suit. Across his back is Hung a long rifle, in his right hand is clasped the sword of justice, in his left is the Bible and on his brow is the cap of mercy placed there by the wrongs he has suf fered across the waters. Scotch Irish is his name. Before this figure ' s resolute tread every thing gives way and before long the curling smoke tells of the cabin ' s site. Xow in this cabin every evening, when the day ' s work is over the children are gathered to learn from their parents such rudiments of education as is possible. Their fathers were imbued with the doctrine of John Knox, who taught that the way to perpetuate Christianity was to foster it in the rising genera- tion. The fireside school did very well for a while, but it was not long before some method of obtaining a more e.xtensive knowledge was needed ; so in 1749, two miles southwest of the site of Greenville, in Augusta County, and near the interlacings of the head springs of the Shenandoah on the eastward and of the James river on the westward, under the direction of Robert Alexander, M. A., of Trinity College, Dublin, Augusta Academy sprung into existence and became the foundation stone for Washington and Lee University, thus making this honored institution next to the oldest in Virginia. It is an instance worthy of note that within a few miles of this little school the Father of his Country was about this time, busily engaged in surveying, little think- ing that the time would come when the offspring of the log cabin academy would do honor to his name. It was under its very walls that Washington developed into a man. . However the time came when it was found necessary to change its location, and in 1774 it was moved to Mt. Pleasant, near h ' airheld in Rockbridoe Countw Here it lost its old name and adopted the appellation of its site. School life then was very different from that of modern times. The students attended, clad in buckskin, with their rifles across their arms. The building was used for nothing except to recite in and the shade of the surrounding trees gave shelter to those wishing to study between recitations, while the stump of a fallen monarch of the forest would serve as a desk. Mt. Pleasant Academy under the circumstances became very well provided for. It is interesting to note with what small advantages our forefathers attained such excellent educa- tions. The apparatus consisted of a small telescope, a twelve inch globe, a solar microscope, an air pump, an electrical machine, a barometer, a Hadley quadrant, and surveying instruments. The library consisted of two hundred and ninety volumes. This was absolutely all they had, yet some of the students managed to learn enough to enable them to hold with honor places of prominence in afterlife. Two of them became judges of the Supreme Court, four were members of the State Legislature, four entered the Cf)ngress of the United States while one was sent as minister to Prance. On Ma)- 6, 1776, two months before the Declaration of Independence, at their first meeting after the battle of Lexington the Board of Trustees renamed the academy Liberty Hall, and gave it the right to call itself the ' child of Freedom. However, again in 1777 it was seen fit to move and eighty acres of land near Old Timber Ridge Church were selected for its use. Here, under the guidance of William Graham, in a building twenty-eight by twenty-four feet and a story and a half high, it prospered for a while. The tuition exclusive of books and clothing was lo, 10 shillings — not much less than it is to-day. But the war of the Revolution was having its effect on the people and affairs finally becann ' in such condition that in i 7S0 the school had to suspend. When freedom was to be struggled for, the sons of Liberty Hall could not be idle. They would attend to tht ' P ritisli, then would it be time to consider themselves. When Tarlton with his victorious forces was making his way to Rockhsh Gap to invade the Valley, we hear of Mr. 28 rmxD IRuiii ot Xibcrtv Iball. .IBurncC in IS02. Graham himself shouldt-ring his rifle and riding to do guard duty at the (jap, and following his resolute lead were many of his pupils. Not until the last gun of the long struggle, had been fired, does the school seem to have been taken especial notice of, but in 1785 it was moved to Mulberry Hill, neat- its present site. This had to be done on account of Mr. Graham, who lived in Lexington and found it too inconvenient to have to drive to Timber Ridge. Here at first the buildings were also of wood. The first commencement in the history of the institution was held on the fourteenth of September of the first year of its existence on its new site. There were twelve graduates who took the degree of Bachelor of Arts. From this time it prospered, and in 1793 the Trustees were enabled to erect a stone building to take the place of the wooden ones. We cannot help but honor William Cravens, its builder, when we see that his work was substantial enough to stand to the present time. Had fire not destroyed the house it would doubtless be as ready for habitation now as ever before. We are told that the students in those days were wicked and unruly. We can doubtless sympathize with them. It will perhaps be interesting to know that then as now the day was begun with prayer. The closing exercises consisted of declamation, and it was the custom whenever the professor entered for the students to rise and greet him with a bow. There were two sessions and the vacation consisted of a single month. Nicknames were also prohibited. In 1796, at the solici- tation of the Trustees, Washington made a donation of his shares of stock in the James River Company and on the retirement of that stock the Virginia Legislature bound itself to pay to Washington (rollege (it received its name along with the donation) six per cent, interest on $50,000 annually, forever. From its first commencement up to 1800 there were only three who took degrees. And we who Iku ' l ' to labor so now to receive a diploma, look with wonder on the ease with which A. B. ' s were received then. It seems that little more than a mere application was necessary. But fickle Fortune in 1802 (or some say, wicked students), wrapped the stone 30 buildings in flames and left only the ruined walls which ncnv stand so picturesque on Mulberry Hill. Then the College was moved into Lexington and conducted in a building situated close to where Dr. John A. Graham lives now. In 1803 the present site was procured and buildings erected, one where Newcomb Hall stands, and another where the low building is now on the other side of Paradise. In this year the Law department was also added, having Judge Carrington as its professor. These buildings were not substantial and others soon had to be built. First the main building, which holds the statue of George Washington was erected. There was a balcony just below where the second story windows are now, but it had to be removed because when it became necessary for the Professor to chastise a boy he would often elude the reverend gentleman ' s hand by fleeing to the porch and dodging into the hall. The wings were added to the main buil ding at a later date. The examinations during the first years of the existence on the present grounds were also mereh ' perfunctory. The Trustees would examine all of the classes in one day and then judged mostly by sound, as they did not know enough to detect an error, and if the student but went glibly on, they inferred that his knowledge was sufficient. But things have very materially changed since then, as the class of ninety-five can testify. In 1830 the honor system was estab- lished, which seems to have been very much deplored by the gentlemen in charge of the institution at the time, but which now has the effect of entirely banishing practices over which, at the most, the professors could have only partial control. At the outbreak of the Civil War the greater part of the students were formed into a military company called The Liberty Hall ' olunteers, and captained by Prof. James J. White, entered the Confederate services and were assigned to the celebrated Stonewall Brigade. It followed the fortunes of the army of Northern Virginia and gained its full share of glory. In June, 1864, General David Hunter entered Lexington, and Washington College was sacked, its library scat- tered and its apparatus destroyed. We are glad to say that the United States has recently made full reparation for this vandal deed. After the war was over the condition of the institution was very discouraging, but the Trustees determined to reopen its doors and do the best they could. They elected General Robert E. Lee President, and he, thinking that he could do no nobler work for his country than 31 direct its outh, accepted. Under him began an era of great prosperit}-. Students flocked to the college, many additions to the endowments were received, new professorships were added, the standard was raised, grounds, buildings and appliances of instruction were improved and a Chapel and a president ' s house erected. Gen. Lee entered on his new work September iSth, 1865. From this time on the work of this institution has been successful. After Gen. Lee ' s death, October 12th, 1870, the name of the College was changed for the last time. Re-christened Washington and Lee University, it is the hope and pra ' er of students and Alumni, that the venerable institution may continue ever to increase in power and usefulness, and stand among American universities a worthy monument to two of the greatest men and noblest lives that grace the pages of American history. .

THERE is uothiiig new under the sun; so, gentle reader, if you expect anything original in this history, you will be disappointed. We are a fine class (we say it modestly, lacking the usual confidence of the know-all Senior), but then all graduating classes are fine bodies for all their historians say so, and you know that History never deigns to tell falsehoods. However, having impressed this fact, namely that we give promi.se of all being great men, we will proceed. And now we discover our first difficulty. Shall we commence ten, eight, six or four years back. The records alas, are faithful, but as we are writing liistory we shall disregard their testimony, and without consulting them, start with the year ' gi-g2- We pray 3 ' ou have pitN ' , sympathetic reader, or if you are not sympathetic, heartless one, turn your eyes from this page, for a figure clad in bran new clothes, wearing a hat so new he is conscious of it, proud in the possession of a new valise and new trunk, steps from the cars to the platform with a man-ofthe-world expression which tells the careful observer that this personage never having been away from home before, intends to hide this fact under an assumed dignity. He stands around knowing everything except what to do next, when he is accosted by a gentleman whose suavity overcomes him. This oily per.sonage, after busying himself much with the newcomer ' s luggage and future boarding-house, introduces him effusively to several of his friends standing by, then suddenly exclaims : Did I introduce you to Mr. Presumptive Ball President ? No! Well I want 3 ' ou to meet him. He has more mone} ' , is better looking, is smarter and dances better than any other man in college. You are awed at the mention of such a dignitary, and feel as if you would like to worship at his shrine. Mr. College Politician, reading } ' our mind, immediately gives you the opportunity, which, being accepted by you, puts that gentleman in such a good humor that he vows eternal friendship, makes a note and mentions the fact that 3 ' our word is given, and that you are pledged. Until the election he notices you occasion- ally ; after that event iis pledge of eternal friendship is forgotten. The Freshman hears this name applied to him in tones of scorn and pity : he meets the boys at his Ranch, is taken to the Y. M. C. A., set up, given a little book containing useful information concerning Purgatory and Paradise, and is taken care of in general. Ay, too much attention is paid him. He goes to Chapel the first morning (does he ever go afterwards?) and a feeling of awe overcomes him. The prayer reminds him of his 43 Cbe Calic. 44 home, the swelUng, rolHng tones of the great organ cause a great lump to rise in his throat and he would cry if he did not fear the remarks of his companions. As it is he winks hard to keep back the tears, glances up and sees silently lying in the alcove, ever and eloquently teaching how to live a grand life, the recumbent statue of Gen. Lee. But it was not long before the services were over, and our freshman stands before the Chapel, listening to the greetings of last year ' s friends. The Campus with its swelling knolls and whispering trees reminds him of the ancient groves in which learning was taught. Some kind, patronizing old man points out George Washington and tells wonderful tales of Harry Lee and Albert Sidney ' s scrapes, ringing in every now and theti some thrilling deed of his own, which makes the new man w onder if he will ever be endowed with such prowess. And now a group of wisacres, posing for the benefit of the poor Freshman begin to talk and he, wishing to learn wisdom, presses closer to this fount, for surely it can have no other origin. Striking an attitude one says; My ! fellows, how we will have to leave the ' calic ' alone, ' plug ' and ' cram ' if we do not wish to ' flunk. ' (Out of the sentence he understood only one word — ' cram. ' (He ate at the same table with him. ) Another spoke ' Old Nick ' certainly did ' stick it to us ' at final la.st year, but instead of ' pulling the bull ' as I expected, I rode a ' ponj-, ' ' knocked his eye out ' and came very near ' maxing ' him. By this time the freshman was nearly overcome but, when a third spoke: I ' ran on the professors too much last year. Why boys, don ' t you know I ' cut ' ' Old Alex ' seven times last term and ' rushing calic ' was the cause of it, we (it is admitted that the freshman was no less a personage than the hi.storian of this glorious class) were dumbfounded. Still he was a Utile man, seeming to us too small to do much damage to a professor even if he had ' run on ' him, and we thought that a calic mu.st be a verj- tiny plaything to be ' rushed ' by him, while the mildness of his glance seemed to lack the fire our dime novel hero always had when he drew blood. We were bewildered by this jargon of wisdom, but when some learned friend assured us that these words were of Hebrew origin, we were .speechless, though somewhat cheered by his opinion that If you are as smart as you look, Hebrew won ' t be very hard and you ' ll soon get ' on to it. ' You know we study the Jewish language as a pastime. How learned he was, as he gave this information and also volunteered that If you wish to ' get in ' with the profe.ssors, you had better ' cram, ' (that ' s Hebrew for memorize) the catalogue, and how kind we thought him as he promised to give .some of his valuable time to hearing us repeat it ! To Newcomb Hall we then went, matriculated, met our future preceptors, and became fully launched upon our College career. By the end of the year it is feared that we knew Hebrew better than we did Latin or -15 Greek, still our experience liael exempted us from the obnoxious title of Freshmen, and we considered ourselves men of the world. For the next two years we belonged to no especial class, our identity was lost in the general Student Body. In this intermediary time we lived, in the main, a happy life, building many air castles some of which we have already seen vanish. The Literary Societies we flooded with eloquence ; some of us, wondering what made our mouths so dry and our movements so awkward, have attempted to prove to the multitude assem- bled in the Chapel that excellence of oratory had its culmination in us. But alas ! instead of holding the attention of our hearers we were conscious of many feminine voices, each jealous of the speaker, talking all at the same time and for once we would fain have said ' ' Get thee behind us, calic Our class claims the credit, and I do not think it will be denied them, of having so trained the Lexington police force that they are the best sprinters in the United States. They owe us a great debt, wliich we fear will never be paid. During the midnight hour we have visited the College cupola, to see that nothing was the matter with the bell clapper, and as the time for the boat race drew near, wearing red or blue, shouting Harry Lee or Albert Sidney as our battle cr -, have engaged in the struggle to see which colors Old George should support next morning, and as according to an unwritten code, enmity must never result from these fights, we greeted our foes of the night before with a pleasant Good morning, d n you. Six times have we met our neighbors the cadets in deadly strife and each has a captured club that he keeps as a valued souvenir of these pleasant occasions. As Seniors, we were dignified, and tried to act as if we possessed more knowledge than we were conscious of having. As we walked along the streets mentally quoting (?j bad words, which some wicked individual had spoken in our innocent presence, because the wind was wrapping our gowns about our limbs, we wondered at the ease and grace with which the fair one we were pursuing up the street handled her garments. Of cour.se each one of us was in love, and before the end of the year declared his passion, swearing that lack of reciprocity would cause his death. However, at present, all seem to have passed through the ordeal of being kicked without even the loss of appetite. Thus has passed our College life away, and being conscious that the happiest period of our existence is over, we take the liberty of again reminding our readers that in time we will all be great men, and having folded up our gowns, badges of our successful work, and together with our caps put them away to ser -e as heir-looms for ftiture generations, we lay aside the pen, knowing full well that our greatness will some day cause other men to continue our historv ' .

Neither would it he proper to discuss the nobleness and worth of the profession, nor the opportunities afTorded b ' it to make the world better and to make a name famous. A history of the past of this class would be wholl - uninteresting, as it would only delineate a series of succes ses and failures, and of occurrences co;n- mon to all college men. A history of the future might be made very pleasing, if the facts were but known. It could well be im- agijied bright and successful and just as easily fancied otherwise. But not to enter into the depths of th.e unknown future, let us turn to the scenes of our present year, our last at Washington and Lee. Here happy congeniality reigns supreme, and the future is left to take care of itself. There is the daily routine under Old Davy, so toilsome and at least a little monotonous, and the:i the practical work of the spring-time, when everyone else is provokingly at leisure. But the engineer has his jo. s and solace: his path is not all roses, nor yet is it all thorns. The C. Iv never has to read parallel. Conceive of the Engineering Class of ' 95, gathered in the room of a hospitable member, the lessons of the morrow prepared 57 and themselves entirely free, while the unfortunate A. B. ' s are groaning and laboring under an immense burden of parallel. No such cases dare intrude here. The liost, feeling himself bound b3 ' a time-honored custom, passes around in a most hospitable manner his box of V. L. Mixture, and, in a short lime, the pipes are gomg at full lilast. After enough smoke is emitted by these pipes to make the air have a decided bluish tinge, and the whole compan) ' has fallen into that state of contemplative bliss that the nicotine alone can inspire, how natural it is for someone to suggest that this is our last year at college, and, then, for all of us to tell of our dreams and plans for the time when we shall be turned out ' in the professional world. Each has started from his revery and is picturing to himself, in the dense fog of smoke surrounding him, great bridges, tunnels, airships, embank- ments and all manner of engineering structures. Each has his particular whim, and whether his masterpiece is to be a bridge, an airship or what not, he gives a long and technical description of it. One particular scene like this, we remember, was interrupted by a crash, like unto that of a roof falling in. A committee of in -estigation was appointed and soon reported to the effect that all the commotion was brought about in an adjoining room by a copy of ' ' Rankine falling from a table. But, alas, there will soon come an interruption far from comical; the last pipe will be smoked, the last theory will be aired in the sympathizing atmo-sphere, and the C. E. ' s of ' 95, their labors at Washington and Lee completed, will be separated to try their theories and realize their dreams in a broader field. C. F. 58 Senior Xaw Class. Yell :— G.-Y.-B.

When the historian turns to chronicle the rise and progress of the Law Class of ' 95, he is embarrassed by the wealth of material that lies before him in the career of this deservedly illustrious body. How varied and splendid their achievements ; how inadequate his pen to the task of describing them ! In the early days of an autumn two years ago, the members of the class became convinced that the natural state of man is not isolation, but society. They realized that, The world was sail, tlie garden was wild, And man a hermit lived, till woman smiled ; and putting themselves in the shoes of Selkirk, they cotdd exclaim : — Oh, Solitude, where are the charms That sages have found in thy face ? Better live in the midst of alarms, Than reign in this horrible place. With the intention, therefore, of entering into a social compact (see my Columbia address) , they entered W. L. U. on the loth of September, 1893, {Ouere dc hoc), and became for the first time a coetus hominum, or in other words the people. ' Under the: patria potestas they plunged deep into the jus ge ' utiicm and jus ititer gentes, sat at the feet of Lord Stowell as he dispensed justice to the whole commercial world, and with an abiding faith in a future international code, swore by the beard of the prophet that henceforth free ships shall, and of right ought, to make free goods. Having the power to pass all examinations wedded to the right to progress, they soon demanded their own extradition, got their bearings, and entered into the consideration of contracts, with and without consideration, of ti3 specialties and contracts by parol. Although mistakes and misrepresentations were common enough, in truth, at this stage, none were sufficient to avoid the agreement entered into for a diploma in futuro, and after the class had executed a certain writing respondator ' , they were declared to have discharged their contractual obligations by performance and were once more free. Notwithstanding the fact that n i Ziis liber homo dcslruatur this well earned liberty was short-lived, and they were forthwith summoned not ad loqucndunt but ad aiidimdiim of the Free, Sovereign and Independent States, confederated under the name of the United S a ' J, to which States all rights originally belonging to the said States are reserved unless delegated to the United States by the C. U. S. — and don ' t you forget it ! Hear me. also, ou this point — ' To lay with one hand the power of the government on the property of the citizen, and with the other to bestow it upon favored individuals . . .is none the less robbery because done under the forms of law and called taxation. ' (per Miller, J,, in Topeka vs. Loan Association). From the contemplation of the manner in which governments acquire land by purchase or conquest, to niediiation upon the individual ' s right by deed or livery of seisin, to his freehold or leasehold, messuage, close, curtilage or premises, was not too long an intellectual stride for the giant minds of this noble body. The law of real estate, therefore, consumed the remainder of this, their first college year, until it broke upon them, in the words of the poet, that — ' Kee-simple aud a simple fee and all tlie fees entail, Are nothing when compared to thee, thou best of fees— female. Accordingly they turned their weary faces toward the land of each rising son, and spent three months in recruiting strength for an attack upon the torts and crimes of a wicked world. When they had once more gotten their bear ings in Lexington, they made an assault upon one Pollock, Bart.; and him grievously and maliciously, with force and arms, beat, abused, cussed, swore at, and commended to the abode in such case made and provided, eternally and perpetually, for the future peace and dignity of the W. L- U. law class and each member thereof. Then followed a wild pursuit of that ideal, metaphysical being — that e?is ratio iis ' ' — that soulless creature of the law, a corporation ; in which the class joined as ' ' couriers without luggage. This adventure over, they were arraigned before a most competent tribunal on the charge of a willful for- 64 getfulness of the law, both of substance and procedure. After plea of the general issue and juindt-r tliereon, they were most iniquitouslj forced to give written evidence tending to criminate themselves; nor was parol contem- poraneous evidence allowed to contradict or vary the terms of this written instrument. Cast down but not destroyed by this experience, they applied for a change of venue ; and remembsring that at(juiias vioila?i biis subvi-n t, they gird themselves again for the last mile of the eventful race : and when their last answer to inter- rogatories shall be filed there will arise a presumption — but one prima facie and, alas, rebuttable — that the - are learned in the law. Bihind the class lie two years of arduo.is study and of friendly interco.irse, before tlu-m the end of their student career, and beyond that a life spent in the service of their chosen calling. Success in the law requires, first, a good deal of money ; second, a good deal of patience : third, a good cause : fourth, a good lawyer ; fifth, a good counsel ; .sixth, good witnesses; seventh, a good jury; eighth, a good judge ; and ninth, good luck. Let us hope that when the future history of ' 95 comes to be written, it will be found that the clients of each of her mem- bers have had the.se nine points of the law in their possession ; and that while The path of the law is a long and perilous pilgrimage; its prizes are splendid but distant — they cannot be won in a day, it may nevertheless appear that each member of tlie class has reaped the reward never denied to courage, perseverance, and honest industry . 65 66 Hcabcntic Class of ' 96.

The lover of the quaint and simple customs of colonial life, and of the early days of the Rt-public, will find in the Librafy four volumes which will prove of surpassing interest — the Historical Papers of Washington and Lee University, published under the auspices of the Board of Trustees. The first of these appeared in 1890, and is the most interesting, possibly, of them all. It contains, (i) The Early History of Washington College, by the Rev. Henry Ruffner, D. D., late President of the College. (2) Washington College, an article from the Southern Literary Messenger of 1838, by Samuel L. Campbell, M. D. (3) A Letter on the location of Robert Alexander ' s School, by Judge James T. Patton. The Early History, by Dr. Ruffner, forms the bulk of the volume. It was written between the years 1840 and 1847, -l is a most valuable account, not only of the early trials of what is now Washington and Lee University, but also of the settlement of the Valley and of the habits of life of the thrifty Scotch-Irish, who play such an important part in the history of the struggle for free- dom. The style is vigorous, and the author ' s side comments on the tendencies of the day, and his theory of the ideal college community, so nearly realized by the present University, are by no means the least interesting passages. Volume II awakens our pride in our glorious Alma Mater even more, if possible, than does the story of her early struggles. It, too, contains that story, but its chief object is to set forth the virtues of the Founders of the Institution, and to give some account of their lives and deeds. This is done at considerable length in an address by the Hon. Hugh Blair Grigsby, LL. D., 74 delivered before the Alumni in June, 1S70. The same ulume c(jntains another address, delivered June, 1845, by the Rev. Archibald Alexander, 1). D. The mere mention of his illustrious name is enough to assure one that the address is well worth reading. The Scotch-Irish in the Valley of Virginia, is the subject of the paper which begins the next volume. It is followed b ' Notes on Washington Academy and Washington College:. These sketch briefly the history of the school trom 1 7Q9 to 1829, which period is covered more minutely in Volume I ' . Sketches of Trustees and Memorial Tributes fill the rest of the book. Such extracts are usually prosaic and dull, but here we read with unflagging interest of men whose lives are an inspiration, who stopped at no obstacles, and man - of whose names are famous in the histor_ - of the Old Commonwealth. ' olume IV, published in 1893, undoubtedly holds the second place with regard to interest for the general reader. It contains chiefly a Continuation of the History of Washington College during the period 1 799-1829, with Sketches of the Alumni of that period, by William Henry Ruffner, LL. D., the distinguished son of Dr. Henry Ruftner. His style is clear, and reminds us to some extent of that of his father, though he is more in accord with the sentiment of our own times. This volume also closes with Sketches of Trustees. The whole series of papers makes a very complete and accurate history of our Institution down to the year 1829. It is hoped that the admirable work may be continued, and that we may soon be able to read the later history of the College and University. Lack of space prevents more than the mere mention of the contents of the papers, but for the man who loves his university no more pleasant task can be found than the careful perusal of these scholarly sketches and addresses. Or, if there be one in whom college spirit is languishing, there is no surer wav of stimulating it than by reading of the birth, the vicissitudes, the growth and the triumph of our Alma Mater as here narrated. 75 EiJitore of Che Southern Colleatan. bc Southern Collcijian.

Those old Washington College boys seem to have been about as unruly as the Faculty were dictatorial and they, and all belonging to them, were continually in trouble. The career of the new-fledged Owl was thus troubled from the beginning, and came to an early clo.se during the fir.st months of 1849. The poetr - that unceasingly wells up from the student heart remained without record, and perhaps un- spoken, unless to those mar •elousl - sweet and perfect damsels of the olden times, that doubtlesslv looked as rap- turousl - at the Commencement moon as do their granddaughters now, during the twelve vears before the v.r It was not till the fall of 1868, three years after the old College doors, so long clo.sed-while the spirited vouno- students bore mu.skets in the Stonewall Brigade-had been thrown open to admit as president the great war-chieftain of the Confederacy, that another attempt was made to establish a student publication. The revived periodical was i.s.sued semi-monthly, and contained eight folio pages. The new paper, to which was given the name of The Colt egian was fortunate in having at the first Uv.o talented men as editors-C. R. Breckinridge and S. Z Ammen-both of whom have .since attained prominence, the one as Congres.sman from Arkan.sas, and the other as Editor of the Baltimore Sun. The Collegian seems to have obtained the support of the be.st literarv talent in the institution and during the first five years of its existence its pages contained some unusualh- good writing. Durino- the .ses.sion of iSji- ' j2 its pages displayed some of the first work of the now famous Thomas Nelson Page. In the list of editors which maN- be seen below, are found several other names since distinguished in letters and politics, as well as several that have become well known in the educational world. Among the.se last may be noticed Charles A. Graves and Henry Alexander White, both Professors in Washington and Lee University ; W. S. Currell, of David.son College, and J. H. Dillard, of Tulane. During the first year of The Collegian ' s existence, it was edited by two editors, one from each society, who held office during terms of three months. In 1S69 the name was changed to The Southern Collegian. In addition to the two editors from the two societies, respectively, in this year, an annual editor was elected by the joint ballot of the two societies. This system continued till 1873, when the jealousy of the societies made it necessary to choose two annual editors. In 1878 The Collegian became a monthly, and was reduced to its present magazine form. In the same year began the custom that still prevails, of putting in charge of the magazine an editor-in-chief chosen by the societies jointly, and four associate editors, two from each .society. In 1892 the societies began to elect jointly also an assistant editor-in-chief. In 1870, Mr. Joseph Sautini, of New Orleans, gave to the University $1,000, the income from which was each year to be used in purcha.sing a medal to be awarded to the writer of the best essay appearing in The Col- LEGi. N. For a number of years the Lexington Gazette also gave a medal for the second best essay, but that has long been discontinued.

I HE Graliam-Lee Literary Society was organized Jan. 19, 1809, under the name of the Graliani Philanthropic Societ - : and, besides being the first organization of the kind in wliat was then Washington College, was one of the first three literary .so- cieties to be organized in American Colleges. The founders were John D. Paxton, President : Uel Wilson, ' ice- President: James W. Paxton, Secretary; Randolph Rass, William C. Preston, John S. Brown, Gustavus R. Jones, Edward C. Carrington, John P. Wilson. From that da - to this the Graham has turned out men who have taken prominent places, and s;rved faithfull - in man - high capacities, yet never forget the old hall where they got their first training in public debate. In connnon with the College, the Society had much of its property and records destroyed by Gen. Hunter ' s troops in 1S64; but, at the clo.se of the war its faithful members came together again and started afresh. On the death of Gen. Lee the name was changed to the Graham-Lee Society, thus coupling the name of the founder of Washington and Lee with that of him who is justly called its second founder. It is a curious coincidence that the day which the Graham-Lee celebrates, the nineteenth of January, is the anniversary both of Gen. Lee ' s birth and of the founding of the Society, the.se events happening within two years of each other. Since 1867 the Society has been gi -ing a debater ' s medal, and a declaimer ' s medal since 1871. These medals were at first awarded to the one who was voted the best debater or declaimer in the regular se.ssion of the Societx-, but, more recently, have been contested for at the public celebration. 85 ©rabanisXec rtieOallets.

Masbiiujton Xitcrar Soc(ct . THE Wa.shington Literary Society l nfortunately the records of its was established in the year 1812. its early history, which might prove interesting, are lost. It was established shortly after the Graham- Lee, and ever since has maintained a good roll of members, and run hand in hand with the sister Society. In 1867 its members began to hold annual contests among them- selves for the best oration, and in 1871 declamations were introduced into the contest. In ' 1879 the declamations were omitted, and only orators took part until 1881, in which year no medals were awarded. So much excitement and dissention was created by the elections, that the faculty, for the interest of the Societies, offered medals for the best orator and declaimer in a contest between the societies at finals. In 1891 the declamations were abolished, though the orator ' s medal is still awarded. In 1885 the Society revived its individual annual celebration, but holds it now on the 22d of February with less excitement, and awards its own medals then and there. The Washington Society awarded only a debator ' s medal until 1890, since when a medal has also been giveu to the best declaimer in the annual celebration. 87 flntcnor ot Chapel. 88 llUasbinciton Socict i iRcftallete. 1867 — Orator ' s Medal, T.

Lee, it is eminentlj ' fitting that tlie religious side should hold the prominent place and exert the influence that it does. Doubtless the absence of hazing and the kind attention Freshmen receive is largely due to this cause. A Young Men ' s Christian Association was first regularly organized in Washington College on May 28, 1867. From the first, the Association had the sympathy and active support of the President, Gen. Robert E. Lee, and of Prof. White and the other professors, and influenced by them has carried on a number of missions in the neighborhood. The first trouble seems to have been in procuring a room ; they moved from one place to another until the present Chapel was finished, when the room in the basement, which they now occupy was fitted up. Immedi- ately after organization, a movement was started for a library; Gen. Lee subscribed generously toward this, and by vigorous efforts among friends, quite a good library was obtained for the use of members ; one feature being that text books were kept to be loaned to ministerial students. This library was afterward turned over to the University. In order to prevent jealousy among the denominations, it was formerly the custom to elect a man to represent each; but it is a significant fact that such care is no longer needed, there is absolute unity. Two prominent occurrences under the Y. M. C. A. are the reception to Freshmen and the address to the Y. M. C. A. on the Sunday night of Commencement. The reception is given on the first Friday night of the session. There are speeches of welcome, refreshments are served and an opportunity is given the .students to get acquainted with one another. The religious meetmgs are at 3.30 P. M. on Sundays; the first meeting of each month being devoted to missionary subjects. 95 IDirtjinia Beta Chapter of Ipbi Ikappa Ipsi. ESTABLISHED IN 1855.

To Kustys, the King, was born no son, nor was any daughter reared within the royal palace ; and, forsooth, it was when he looked upon the face of woman that he was most desirous that the end of his life might be approaching. But to the dwellers in his kingdom he was a mild and generous ruler, a father to the needy and unfortunate. 2. There happened to be present in the realm one, Lenarticus. who had come from a far distant province, a skillful player upon the bazoo and many other instruments, both reed and stringed, and he was made satrap and com- mander of all the men of music assembled around the king. 3. He collected him a compan - in the following manner : calling together all the players upon instruments and all the sons of song, he bade them show forth their skill, and of them he chose such as seemed to him most fit, but none of the daughters of music came unto him until he sought one for his consort when the journey was done. 4. When it seemed to him time to march up into the country he summoned Hoscar, his ofuest-friend, and Hibbertius, who was not afar off. Also he took with him Hwansj, the Ken- This fragment from a pre-historic historian was found in the course of discoveries around Mitylene. Curiously enough, too, tradition tells us that the town was founded and named by a band of wandering and famished barbarians, whose condition probably suggested the name Mity-leue. Perhaps this historical relic gives the clue to their identity. The thought suggests itself that the work of which this seems a part may have furnished Xeuophon with the ground plan for his famous Retreat of the Ten Thousand. ' 1. 1 tuckian, great in voice and stature ; Kurtius, the brazen-lunged ; Billibel, the sweet singer in Israel ; Marionorippus, thus named because he bellowed loud and horse-like and devoured great store of the fragrant weed ; Hwallis, the standard-bearer, who would fain have been carried in the Ba6} ' onish hammocks. 5. Also the noble Duke of Durham, a high-born ruler from a distant land ; and a Harper, of so great skill that one might not know but that bells rang afar off upon Olympus when he stroked his lyre. He had with him also Eik, the mountaineer, a man of won- drous skill upon the viol, and likewise Mak, the swamp angel; and a great company of others, sino-crs and players upon the psaltery, the sackbut, and the cithara. 6. When tribute had been laid upon the inhabitants of Athenidion and a sacred bull-calf had been sacrificed to Orpheus, the company was mustered for the departure. And to Louis the Wise were given the keys of the the treasure vaults, and he was chosen to conduct the journey. 7. From Athenidion they marched thirty-six parasangs to Stanten, a well peopled city, where there are many and beautiful women. There they were gladly received, and from the many inhabitants who gave ear to their music they got great gain. At Stanten they were joined by Cunny the Devourer. and Dorsie the Mandolinian, who brought his smile with him. 8. Thence they proceeded a day ' s march, or a Sabbath day ' s journey, through a rough and mountainous country to Hippopolis, a populous city of considerable magnitude, where they abode two nights and a day within a sumptuous hostelry. 9. There was a great fair or market in progress among the people here where were seen many strange and wondrous things, but mainly were the booths filled with goat-skins containing the wine of this country — a very strong and fiery liquid. 10. Though the inhabitants of these parts are often dryer than they could wish, they dread water greatly, and many would not brave the rain to heark en to the merry music, but very many were not disheartened. 11. When the labors of the night were ended a rich and powerful satrap led the musicians to his habitation, and enlivened them with feasting and 132 dancing ; and there were present very many most beautiful maidens, wise and cliarmintj as o od- desses, and most dangerous to men. 12. Tlience they marched forty parasang-s, a liali ' day ' s journr)-, to D.uiphil, a small city of the same province, where they celebrated a festal da - with a sacrifice of fowls and with burnt offerings and incense, and there they got great gain. 13. Thence they proceeded b) ' a night ' s march to Katanooga, a well populated city, wealthy and of considerable magnitude. The fear of water is less here than in the former province, and, although the gods were sending much rain, the populace hailed the company gladly and great shouts arose from the multitude that listened unto them. 14. There is furthermore great kindness to strangers in these parts, and the musi- cians entered the dwellings of two of the townsmen, where thi y met many of the damsels of the place, who were of ver ' friendly disposition. Thus it was that Hwang, the Kentuckian, and Hos- car, the guest-friend of Lenarticus, and the noble Duke of Durham would have tarried here, for they found it a pleasant land, (lowing with camel ' s milk and wine ; but the - were at length pre- vailed upon to depart. 15. From this city they proceeded a half-day ' s march to Atlantis, a city large and pros- perous. They arrived there about the time of the full market, suffering greatly from cold and want of provisions, and they straightway fed and refreshed themselves, and later provender was given them by some of the inhabitants. 16. As the night drew on they entered a great building and collected around them a vast concourse of the people, who would have rent the walls with their cries and shouts of delight — especially when Hoscar, the guest-friend, and Dorsie, the Mando- linian, were before them. But the latter seemed exceeding sad and would gladly have yielded his psaltery and plectrum therefore into other hands forever. 17. But it was very cold in this country, and they departed thence willingly, bearing much treasure with them. Thence they marched by night to Saphana, a fair and populous city, 133 passing through a barren and sandy country covered with pine trees and pahns. The ' halted on the march at a place, Epherett by name, where travelers are wont to be refreshed with the flesh of fatted swine, ostrich eggs of long keeping, wild honey, and certain other victuals peculiar to these parts; all these they procured at one Magnolia House, and came l ' s milk was bartered for in a booth hard by. 18. About mid-day they entered Saphana, when it was extremely cold. Though the inhabitants of these parts are not altogether like the barbarians of Ethiopia, it is true, never- theless, that the use of fire is almost unknown among them. 19. So it came to pass that when an unnumbered multitude had gathered around the musicians, fearing that they should perish in in the ice-cold desert wind, they besought the populace to depart unto a warmer place (the peo- ple wot not that the under-world was meant), and themselves proceeded to wax warm and merry with some noble and kindly elders of the town. Cbapter 2. Ikatabasis. I. Now they had already gotten together a great store of gold, so when Louis the Wise saw that the men were becoming weary and that many of them were ill, he took counsel what should be done. 2. Then spoke up Hwang, the Kentuckian, and said. Oh, Birdie, 1 am exceed- ingly fatigued at this moment. I do not care — nor does anyone else — for any further exhibition of our vocal abilities. All day, aye, and for many days, I have heard them displayed to a satis- factory advantage, and it is now my wish that my weary limbs should be placed upon their accus- tomed couch, and when we have offered up our orisons and sacrifices to the gods that we should return again once more unto the spot from whence we came forth. 3. And the words of Hwang, the Kentuckian, seemed good unto Louis the Wise and to all who heard them, and it was 134 accordincrly agreed that the retreat should be begun. 4. Thence they proceeded by rapid marches to Karleston, a sea-coast city, where tribute was demanded of them by the barbarian satrap of the place; and food was procured from a certain Yue Hing, a yellow-livered, slant-eyed barbarian. 5. Thence they marched to Kolumbia, a well peopled city, and thence by night to Lynkburg a very mountainous town where the daily rations were dispensed to the men. Thence they marched by easy stages, about forty parasangs, to Athenidion, from which they had formerly set out ; and they arrived there on the evening of the first day of the week. 6. Thus was ended the advance and retreat of Lenarticus, Louis tlie Wise, and the goodly assembly which companied with them. They got upon their expedition large amounts both of gold and silver, and won much honor and glor)-. 7. How afterwards Lenarticus, the leader, took unto him a wife of the daughters of Calliope, how ' ■ ' ' ■ [The fragment is, unfortunately, incomplete and terminates thus abruptly.] Utincrar .

The first we hear of football at Washington and Lee is of games on the campus, with one hundred on a side, in ' 72 ; the prominent feature then seems to have been broken shins. F rom that time o-n there is mention of one or two games each year between the students and cadets, with the result commonly in favor of the former. Fifty played on a side in the first of these games, though later the number was only twenty-five or thirty-five, but even then it must have appeared like two armies in conflict. Of course, there was no regular training, the games were impromptu, and it is even recorded that our neighbors tried to catch us napping, thinking us unprepared, but they found themselves mistaken. The association game continued to be played through the seventies and eighties, up to ' 89, when the Rugby game was introduced. That year we cleaned up the cadets, and the next year they refused to play. In ' 91 the result was undecided, but it is only just to remark that they have evened the score since. Considering the circumstances, we have done well in football ; some of the first teams had good material, but lacked training ; in ' 92 we had good training, but the team was light, though it did remarkably plucky work. 151 Jfoot=,lGall Ccam ot ' 94, dFoot Ball cain of ' 04.

Besides the courts of the Club, the University keeps in order a number of fine courts which are dail)- tilled with enthusiastic players. 154 ; $ - i poT-i u. ivS« JficI Da . There w ere a number of runs after the close of the ' 94 foot-ball season ; but the great run was on Thanksgiving morning. Twelve started, and all but two completed the course. The hares, Lauck and Shields, laid out a course of about ten miles, with three skillfully laid false trails. They had five minutes start, and completed the run in one hour and thirty-two minutes. The time of Boppel, first hound in, was six minutes more, with Kuykendall close be- hind one-half minute later. The following are some W. and L.

Ibistor . (Gratefully dedicated to Sykes, tlie pitcher.) As in foot-ball, the history of base ball at W. and L. U. must be largely made up of the contests with our neighbor, the Institute. A noticeable point is the largeness of the early scores, no record up to ' 78 giving either side less than ten. In that year we shut the University of Vir- ginia out. The first game with any team from outside Lexington was with the Monticellos here in ' 72, score 24 to 20 against us. Our team returned the visit the same spring, but the score is not recorded. A feature of the games then were the courtesies extended to the visiting teams ; a supper with plenty of liquids and toasts always followed the game, and it was even said that on one occasion the Charlottesville merchants refused to take pay for purchases made by our team ! In ' ■]•] we played U. Va. and were beaten by the score of 19 to 17. The great Sykes pitched his curves in the last three innings, after the regular pitcher was hurt, but we seemed not to have appreciated, to start with, how great a treasure we had in him. In ' 1% our team went to Charlottesville and retrieved the preceding defeat by the score ot 12 to o. Sykes ' cur ' es could not be touched. The University Mas azine called this the most scurvy trick ever perpetrated in the history of base ball ! Since then we have had teams well up to the average and often above it, but ' 92 is the bright and shining year in our base blal annals ; we won every game pla ed and the championship of the south. 1.56 JBasc ,1Gall Ccaiii. ' 95. Boatino. ' T HE history of boating in Washington and Lee is quite interesting. The first we hear is of the existence of two rival clubs, whose chief aim seems to have been to take calic rowing on moonlight nights. In 1874, at the suggestion of The Collegian, the first challenge was sent and accepted ; the custom of challenging was kept up for ten years or more. The first race was rowed below the dam, a course of one and a half miles up stream. A six oared barge with coxswain was used. Gaily decorated canal boats were pressed into service for the spectators. No prize was given the first year, but thereafter a silver cup was presented to the best oarsman of the winning crew, and in 1877 Bishop Pinckney of Mary- land, who took great interest in the races, gave the magnifi- cent Pinckney Cup. For a number of years, tub races served to amuse the spectators while waiting for the great race, the victor being awarded a tin cup. In ' 82 an observation train followed the race for the first time, but the following year a new boat house was built above the dam, and the races have been over the mile course ever since.

There has been much attention paid to fencing and more to boxing. Every evening there are a number who engage in the manly art of self-defense ; not all showing high skill, though a number are very skillful boxers ; the ring of the foils, too, is a most familiar sound. Then basket ball has been exceedingly popular, so much so that, at one time, it had more victims than foot ball and, in some cases, it was a great incentive to pretty earnest boxing. Hand-ball also has its votaries, who seek the quick eye and skill which it gives, as well as the healthful exercise. The apparatus of the gym, such as the horizontal and parallel bars, the flying rings, the horse, and the traveling rings, otherwise the freshman ' s delight, are always in demand. This year has developed a number of proficient and plucky performers on the various apparatus who do numbers of difficult feats ; even the stoutest winning honors in this way. So much interest was taken that the Gym Club, which appears above, was formed and its members have also worked up tumbling and other feats on the mats. 162 1barr } %cc JGoat Crew, IS94. I7S5-I8S5. BY MARGARET J. PRESTON. I HE boom of guns was on the air, The strong Colonial heart was stirred ; From North to South, From East to West, From mouth to mouth, From breast to breast, Was passed the inexorable word That spake a people ' s last despair Of England ' s justice. Everywhere Brave souls grew braver : — Let us free This land for which we crossed the sea. And make it ours. Revolt mav be The tyrant ' s name for Libertv ! — So flashed the grand electric thought Through all the Old Thirteen ; so wrought 165 The current niountiug higli and higher, Till eyes were all ablaze with fire That makes men heroes — waiting for The first dread reveille of war. And ere that April day was done, Was fired the shot whose startling sound Went echoing all the world around — The battle-shot of Lexington I II. By yonder stream whose quiet flow Glides onward toward the silvery James, More than one hundred years ago, Were gathered men whose stalwart frames Defied the winter ' s frost and snow. Not as the gallant Spotswood ' s knights, With blare of trump and roll of drum, . nd floating pennon did they come. To climb yon Blue-Ridge heights. What cared such strong-souled men as they. For knighthood ' s bauble of a day ? — High-purposed men, to whose keen view The order of the Golden Shoe Seemed but the Governor ' s toy ! Their eyes Were stern with thoughts of such emprise .Vs conquered forests, clothed the hills With harvests, reared the whirring mills By every stream ; they nursed a scorn For the gloved softness of the Court, Where guarded hands disdained the hard Grasp of the axe, and found their sport In tennis-court and tilting-yard ; They made the valleys laugh with corn, And purpled with the ro -al grass. The meadows, edged with fringing rills. And opened up the mountain pass : Strong men of mould. Like vikings old, Who dared to die, by field and flood, — Upon their dinted shields, no crests, No golden Orders on their breasts, But — iron in their blood I III. So, not to Spotswood ' s gay and martial band, Were these beholden for their land Of Eschol richness. They had felt Their way along its streams and vales. And bosky dales ; And through its length and breadth had knelt At log-hewn altars, offering there The grateful incense of their constant prayer. IV. These were the men— McDowells, Lyles, The .Alexanders of The Isles, McLaughlin ' s, Grahams, Campbells. Reids, Moores, Stuarts — men of doughty deeds ; Of true blue blood as ever wet The veins of a Plantagenet! Here, where to-day we stand, that day they stood. With axe and shovel, chain and rod, Prepared to stake the virgin sod; And when they paused, and asked what name Should crown their clearing in the wood: — 166 They bowed as men would bow in prayer, For still that echo stuug the air, And warned them of the strife begun : — What but the now heroic one That kindled every heart to flame? What word but— Lexington ! V. Baptized in blood— named in the name Triune — a godhead, one, the same — Religion, Learning, Freedom — here They chose the spot on which to rear Humanities more purely true Than Grecian porches knew; Philosophy and Art, Nobler than ancient sages could impart ; Wisdom beyond what Attic scrolls supply, That taught men how to live, and how to die ! VL Upon the timbered ridge that lay Across the billowy hills away. There sprang a lowly Academe, So rude that no enthusiast ' s dream Could have foreshown the fame it rears, Beneath its century ' s weight of years ; A spring beneath an oak, That falling leaves might choke ; But destined so to broaden far and wide, That on its bosom argosies might ride ! How arrogant the name bestowed By Graham in his zeal — The Hall Of Libertv l— w hen over all The land, oppression scored its trace, Leaving its lines on every face — On every heart its load. A name prophetic still ! Since from this classic hill. Such herc houghts and words and deeds have flowed, As make it what to-day we see — To old traditions true, with welcome free, And doors wide-set— The Hall of Liberty! VII. Pure fame! True name!— When Tarleton flung His angry and contemptuous taunt Against the Valley, did it daunt The cleric Captain t in that hour Of onset? Did his spirit cower Beneath it? Nay ! When proud and clear His Chieftain ' s summons reached his ear — Up ! Men of West Augusta! quickly down Each ardent scholar flung his books and gown, Snatched up his musket, girt his sword, And rushed to drive the British horde Beyond the Piedmont. VIII.

Vernon ' s shade, And stirred his heart: Not vet, not vet, Could he forget His Men of West Augusta ! IX. Turn and see The Ruins yonder, lichened with decayt Where dreaming students stray. Recalling visions of the elder day. Foremost and first of all to bear The name that since has filled the air. That stirs the world ' s heart to its core. As never name had done before ; The name that swells the Poet ' s song ; That makes humanity sublime; That teaches patriots to be strong; That heads the warrior-list of time ; Repeated since ten thousand wa -s, Which yet no speech of ever} ' day ' s Most common use can rob of praise ; — That name which, like the sun. Loses no light by all it rests upon; Which glorifies with gorgeous alpen-glow Mont Blanc ' s stark summits of eternal snow Yet gilds the crocus blossoming below : — The name of Washington! Not from the ilex groves where Sophocles Chanted his strophes grand, Not from the slopes where silvery olive trees Flung shadows o ' er the land ; The log-hewn Hall has grown to be Collegian in its state ; the one with a large gr •Washington endowed Liberty Hall Dted to him by the Legislature of Virgin tThe old stone College destroyed by fi Not from the garden seats where Plato taught, Not from the Bema ' s height, Did the young Greek look on a landscape fraught With such a rare delight. 168 Beliiiid yon isolated mountain crest, Draped in the filmy fold Of trailing clouds whose splendor hung the west With broidery-work of gold, 4 The musing scholar watched the sun go down, Bequeathing near and far, With sovran hand, to every peak a crown Translucent as a star. 5 He looked from off the classic page all flushed With mists of Attic rills ; And saw Virginia ' s loveliest valley luished In her embracing hills. 6 What serried corn ! What fields of amber grain What haunted homes were there ! - Not Arcady, with Pan and all his train Was ever half so fair! XI. Shades of the Past! we see you file With pensive step and serious face. Each to his own appointed place Within the Academic aisle. Wise Alexander ' s look of peace Turned heavenward ; Crittenden whose name Lights up Kentucky ' s roll of fame ; Majestic Baxter ; witty Speece ; Calm Ruffner with his wondrous lore; McDowell robed in courtly grace ; Floyd with his marble-featured face ; 169 The Southern Preston who could sway Senates that thrilled before a Clay; Grave Plunier with his golden store Of Saint Chrysostom eloquence ; Judicious Brown in word and deed, The Hooker of the Church ' s need; And many a sage and statesman more , Went from these haunted precincts hence, Whose names the bead-roll bore. xir. Peace needs no history: Year by year. The placid seasons came and went ; And in their Happy Valley here, Its dwellers drank, with thankful cheer, The wine of sweet content. They saw with pride the pillared range Surmount the hill-crest yonder— saw The reign of order, peace, and law Prevail within its honored walls, Without a crave or care for change. The yearly stream of graduates passed, And took their place, well-trained and true. To do the work that men should do, Earnest and faithful to the last,— In legislative halls ; In pulpits where the people hung Entranced on many a silvery tongue; In courts where truth and right prevail, And Justice holds the level scale ; In chambers where a gracious art Avails to stay the laboring breath, ' Distinguished graduates. And snatch the throb that stirs the heart Out of the grasp of death. Love trained them in its sweetest lore ; And Idvls for themselves they made In many a lilac shade, Chanting them to rapt listeners o ' er and o ' er; Idyls yet fonder than Theocrites Piped to Sicilia ' s breeze. XIU. Pale students did not ask, In that unworn and younger day. To have the edge of their appointed task By such attrition worn away, As ball and hop and German furnish, when The temples ache with intellectual pain ; Or as the evening drive with two-in-hand. Beside the fairest lady of the land, Can bring the over- wrought and throbbing brain ! Enough for them the quiet walk ; The interchange of book and flower ; The passing of a moonlit hour - Meshed by a maiden ' s tender talk ; The music of the practised tunes That hallowed Sunday afternoons; The pathos of the going away ; The blush that sealed engagements made Beneath the locust ' s shade. For next Commencement Day ! :-■ O days of iniiocence, forever o ' er, Who sighs to think ve can return no more! XIV. But clouds at length began to dim The country ' s broad horizon rim ; Dissensions rose on every hand, And strained to breaking, the strong strand Of Brotherhood: And through and through, Bv doubts our fathers never knew. The Nation ' s inmost soul was wrung. Fierce taunts from North to South were flunj Fanatic meddlers dared to thrust The pikes they forged in fires of hate, With crazy strivings to adjust The fine machinery of State. And when their rankling injuries stung The South to madness, what availed To guard the sacred rights assailed ? And when the fatal fiat sprung War on Virginia ' s borders — when No choice remained for dauntless men, What else was left to do or say. But draw the sword, and Yea or Nay, Fling, in hot wrath, the sheath away! 170 XV. Tliat April morn of ' Sixtv-one Broke sad and ominous; for the roar That belched from Sumter ' s baleful gun, Echoed from mountain-top to shore, — The desperate deed was done! Then came the startling, stern command : — ' ■ Close up your College doors ! Disband Your classes once again, and go, Like Graham ' s youths, to meet a foe Stronger than Tarleton ' s. Sieze vour guns, And prove yourselves the patriot sons Of patriot sires I XVI. Who can forget With what a fierce and fierv bound Of heart they came, when Nelson wound War ' s first alarum ? How thev met With ready step and fervent will His summons to the daily drill, — These beardless heroes! even yet We seem to hear their measured tread As on they marched, with lifted head, Leaving all eyes behind them wet. Brothers in arms, they felt the thrill, When the hot rider came, who bore The order to yon martial hill — Send onvard Jackson and the corps. ' . u when to their first field of fight Upon Manassas ' summer plain They marched beneath the bullets ' rain, Prof. Nelson, first Captain of the College Company. Following the dauntless step of White, — What worthier names were ' midst the slain ? What veterans poured a richer flood, And deeper wrote their names in blood? xvn. Draw close the veil ! Be dumb ! Let the young martyrs go Down the memorial years With solemn step and slow ; Nor count the fields of death, Where, with a courage strong. As only to the noblest souls belong, They vielded up their breath. Smiles all too proud for woe Have flashed across our tears, A grand serial bow- That spans and circles o ' er Their names for evermore ! XVIII. Why, then, nurse the life to pain, Of those bitter 3ears again ? Why awake the mournful knell Of despair that rang abroad When the brave young Captain fell.t Mid the crash of shot and shell, Slain upon his native sod . ' Or the gallant Pendleton, t Sank when later fields were won ? «Prof. White, Captain o( the Collcg-c Company at the firs jattle of Manassas. JCaptain Hugh W.

I Ah ! when with arms reversed, And shrouded flags, the men Who followed him the first. Bore the dead Hero to his home again — 2 The Hero who could thrill With voice and flash of eye, Broken batalions till With shout and cheer, they rushed straight on ' to die- 3 How could we bear it? — how Crush down with strange control. Despairs whose memory now. Can even send a shudder through the soul ? 4 Ah! Glory, Honor, Fame! Ye had no power to stay The gulfing griefs that came To wreck our hopes, that ghastly tnorn in May ! XX. Hush the drum. Stop the blare ! Let the beat Of sad feet Cease their tramp along the street : Let the tolling bell be dumb, Drive these sounds of fear Even from Meniorv ' s ear ; Lest our lost and wept for come •May 15. 1S63, the day of General Jackson ' s burial. With a vision of storm and wrack, Bringing all our heart-ache back ! Thank God ! that time has brought us healing balm Thank God ! for blessed anodynes of calm ! XXI. The fratricidal strife at last Wore to its close : our dream was past ; Spiked was the last Confederate gun ; And IMight the day had won. Our great Commander ' s pitying soul, Yielding to Fate ' s supreme control, Forebore. within the chasm of strife To cast another Curtius life. And bravely owned the dread eclipse That darkened sky and sun. Then war-worn veterans weeping lieard As sad, magnanimous a word As ever left a warrior ' s lips : Men! I have don( my best for you And you for me. ' Our fallen Cause Demands thai you be strong and true,— Demands that you maintain the laws : I ' ve done my very best for you. ' — His best . ' — how grand it was ! XXII. With hopes destroyed, with ties all riven, With wife and children, exiles driven. With not another home than Heaven, — What did our Chieftain ? From his hand Drop his untarnished sword, and stand 172 Ill dark despair and sullen pride, Within the land he would have died So gladly for? Nay ' never he ! To do, and dare, and die, when need Demanded, this were brave indeed : For State and Country still To live, and bow submissive to God ' s will,- Only such lofty chivalry Became the name of Lee ! He knew misfortune ' s harsh control Howe ' er it bowed, could never break The mettled spirit that could stake Its all on duty, — never take True manhood from a human soul !

We roamed the woods of Brusliy Hill, O ' er knoll and grassy glade, We loitered by the murmuring rill, Beneath the oak tree ' s shade. The birds were singing in the trees, Their songs so gladsome gay, The robin swaying in the breeze, Sang Tell your love to-day. All nature seemed to talk of love. The brook along the shore Sang to the lilies, bending above, ■ ' Kiss me, kiss me, once more. I looked into her dreamy eyes, She cast them quickly down, O, would she then my love despise. With that perplexing frown ? Her little hand so soft and fair, In mine it trembled so; I did my love forthwith declare, But ah, she answered no. W. A. S. 179 Cbc Blues.

THE college world is so complete in its man)-, if petty, phases, so exclusive of all that absorbs the interest and effort of those engaged in the life-struggle in the great world beyond, that those who were once familiar figures in the class-room and on the campus, but now departed, seem to be almost as completely in another world as if they had passed through the grave. We sometimes hear accidentally of how our comrades of long since have become lawyers or merchants, but we cannot picture them so ; to us they are always the careless, jolly college boys — those good fellows that we remember as they strolled easily across the campus, or cheered and xelled with us at some exciting ball game. Perhaps it is this characteristic of unfailing youthfulness that lingers about college memories that makes college friendships so lasting and strong. Perhaps we that are thrown together for a few years under the protection of this venerable old university, so calmly set in the midst of the circling mountains, may never meet again ; yet though we may be scat- tered from Washington to Florida, our thoughts will sometimes center upon our beloved Alma Mater, and linger lovingly upon the bosish hopes, ideals and friends that we regretfully left be- hind us in Lexington in the valley. But will not the old boys join the Calyx in a half hour ' s chat about the fortunes of some of those who have gone forth from these walls to take their places in the world ' s conflict ? Some have, indeed, fallen before the fatal Reaper, but most of them are holding well their ground, and many are forging onward to merited success. A. B. 1S90. CHARLES B. ANDERSON became Assistant Secretary of the Buena Vista Company, and throve and i rospered with the astonishing boom that changed the familiar, lonely river flat at Lock Liird to a busy cit - of five thousand people, all within less than three years. But as the 190 boom gradualh ' evaporated into thin air, or sank into the mud that in a new town always vies with the gaudy hotel for public notice, Charley left — as did some four thousand others. Return- ing to more substantial Lexington, he entered the hardware business witii his father. He was married to Miss Blanche B. Smith, June 28, 1894. Ciiarle)- is still an enthusiastic bicyclist antl base ballist, and his power of imaginative narrative is as great as ever. DOUGLASS S. ANDERSON, so well known as a successful student, has been no less so in post-graduate stud - in Tulane Universit -, New ( )rleans, where he is associated with his brother- in-law. Prof. Brown Ayres, as assistant in Chemistr)- and I ' liysics. He e.xpects to spend the sum- mer in taking a special course in Electrical l ngineering at Cornell.

DAVID BELL GOWAN is now upon the staff of the St. Louis Post Despatch. He is married. ALEXANDER NELSON MYERS is a member of the firm of H. H. Meyers Son, Lexing- ton, Va.

ARCHIBALD ALEXANDER SPROUL, JR., had charge of the engineering corps that laid out the town of Shendon, under the direction of Prof. Humphreys. He then held a position on the engineering corps at Roanoke, which he resigned to accept another connected with the topo- graphical survey of the city of Baltimore. He still holds this position, and has made a noted record for great accuracy of work. BIXBY WILLIS, shortly after graduation as C. E., was connected with the Kansas City Water Works, as Engineer. He was then for a time engaged with his father in the hardware business in Texas. He is now in a bank in Kansas City.

WHITEMAN has his office in the Bayard Building, Wihnington, Delaware. He was a member of the Delaware Legislature and was President of the Senate during the session of ' 92-9:,. WILLIAM H. WINFREE for a short time was real estate agent in Buena Vista, but he soon left Virginia and went to Portland, Oregon, being mindful of Horace Greeley. He there prac- tised his chosen profession till recently, when he removed to Colfax, Washington. F. A. NELSON, won the Hamilton scholarship in 1S92, and his B. L. degree in 1S93. I the fall ol that year he opened an otfice in Chattanooga, Tenn,. where he is associated with his broth- er-in-law, Mr. A. W. Gaines, B. L., of 1881. P ank always looks well-kept when he appears in Lexington, so we infer a lucrative practice. JESSE J. VINEYARD, valedictorian, is Professor of Mathematics, in the Kansas City High School. He still preserves his old hearty manner, and has lost none of his college spirit. B. L. 1 89 1. WALTER P. ANDREWS is confining himself strictl)- to his profession, and is making a suc- cess of it in consequence. Already he is one of the prominent lawyers of Atlanta, Ga. JOHN T. BARNS is measuring out red tape at Tazewell, Va. He has deserted tlie ranks of bachelorhood, having married Miss Maggie Barns, evidently approving the old adage. On the name, etc. We congratulate him on his successful practice. e 01 CHARLES M. COS FAN began the practice of his profession in PortsnK)Uth, ' a.

June i, 1892, he was married to Miss Elizabeth Gale Page. He has a fine boy whom he expects to send to Washington and Lee as soon as he is old enough. His letter to the Editor is as cordial as his greeting used to be in the old dajs of ' 90-91. May his honors multiply. WILLIAM H. PUCKETT, whose back-yard gold mine will be so well remembered, is a mem- ber of the law firm of Hawley Puckett, Boise, Idaho.

The opinions of college boys are justly famous ; for a colleg-e boy was never known to be lacking an opinion on any subject under the sun, an opinion that he is ever willing and readyPtT), 209 o-ive to a needy and benighted world free, ;ratis, and for nothing. Especially has the college boy a well-formed and fixed opinion about the abilities, characteristics, and peculiarities of all his fel- lows. He has a peculiar dislike to that characteristic known technically as the big-head; and devotes a good deal of attention to methods of curing it — in others. The result in general is good, too, for it is edifying to note how the third week of the session sees the big gold medals that adorn the persons of the freshmen disappear, as do the leaves of autumn. Some people, who know nothing of a college boy ' s inward construction — the ignorance of outside people about coUeo-e boys is appalling — are unkind enough to say that the collegian ' s dislike of overweening self-esteem in others is due to the fact that each regards himself as being so easily first, that for another to fail to perceive this evident primacy shows a lack of intellect deserving only of con- tempt. This aspersion, however, only proves a lamentable ignorance that is some excuse, per- haps, for the envy that prompts it. Enough has been said to show that the opinions of college boys are valuable; and in the opinions that are grouped, compounded, collated and compiled below, any one with the least sociological instinct will find valuable material for scientific inference and interesting conclusion. It may be also remarked that the College Girl, who may be seen seated in unaccustomed med- itation alone, has had her part in the formation of this consensus. The first thing we should like to know is who is the most popular man in Washington and Lee. There seems to be some difference of opinion on this subject, but a majority are agreed upon J. M. Guthrie, of Shelbyville, Ky., generally known as Judge Anson. The Judge has a hearty, cordial manner, can say two hundred and forty pleasant words, full of fun and wit, in a minute, and besides knocked a home run in base-ball. He has recently moved to the country, where he is busily engaged in fishing and plugging for exams. — that is, at such times as he is not engaged in a certain parlor up town. 210 The contest for biggest calico man was long and stubborn. Billy Martin was well into the game, but Sperow had farther to walk in going home with his best girl, was seen by more people, and won by a close vote. She is gone, however, and Sperow has taken to boating and letter-writing. Judging from the scattering ballots, there must be very many ugly men in college, but J. A. Smith got more votes for the Ugliest man than any one else, and is hereby certified so to be. However Caesar, Goldsmith and Henry Clay were ugly, and so are most great men. Sid Clay, Bob Baker and O ' Neal were the contestants for the honor of being Handsomest Man, with Clay winner by half a dozen votes. Clay has unlortunateh ' been compelled to leave college on account of bad health; hence our remark about ugly men. A majorit} ' have decided that the Biggest Dude is G. Cuthbert Powell, of Washington, D. C. This is due to Cud ' s long hair, it is supposed, as nothing else can explain the vote. This vote was taken before the arrival of C. R. Barbe, of Louisiana; but even now Powell looks with undisguised envy upon Barbe ' s silk hat and cloth overcoat. The opinion that A. G. Snyder is the Freshest Man seems almost unanimous. It is con- fidently expected, however, that he will, in time, grow older, The Most Bashful Man is R. W. Holt, of Virginia, who should be happ - in the possession of so rare a virtue. A. B. LaFar was voted the Smartest Man. o one will doubt the justice of this when it is known that Soffy took part in a play and still passed his exams. Nevertheless, it was well for LaFar that these ballots were in before a certain Tennessee maiden arrived in Lexington. The man who was elected Biggest Sport, went about breathing threatenings and murder when he heard of it ; and as the editor is out of training from overwork, and the aforesaid sport an ex-foot-ball man, he suppresses this vote under protest. 211 W. R. Vance got most votes as Most Literary Man, by fraud and undue influence. Talk- ing very glibly of Homer and Tasso, of Sophocles and Shakespear, (of whom we suspect he knows nothing) before the class in Junior English, he polled the solid vote of that class, and won by an easy vote. Inasmuch as Jim Bullitt, when calicoing, as he does every evening, has only to cross the street so that no one knows of it, and has recently disgraced the institution by making 99 on Senior Moral Philosophy, he is generally thought to be the Most Studious Man in college. He is also considered the Best Athlete, and is by the unanimous consent of all students and calics alike, voted the Most Talkative Man in Washington and L ee. There are lean men in plenty in college, so a choice of the Leanest Man from among the numerous candidates was an exceedingly difficult matter. The most prominent candidates were Shorty Helm, Powell, John L. Young, L. W. Smith, and J. W. Davis. All five of these gentle- men being very popular, and each having a very large following of friends who insistent!}- pressed their candidate ' s claims to the honor, it seemed for a long time as if no majority could be secured for any one of them. The calics refused to have any voice in the matter, and the deadlock seemed hopeless. Finally, however, it was demonstrated that Mr. Davis had gained seven pounds within the last two years, and his supporters, deserting him in disgust, flocked to Mr. Smith, who thus secured a triumphant election. The fattest man was easily decided to be J. M. Mason of W. Va., while the votes for Lem Lowrey, of Kentucky, for biggest man, and for J. H. Shiveley, of Illinois, for smallest man, were unanimous. A large majority, both of students and calics, think VV. A. Bell, of Louisiana, the best dancer in college. It is fitting that the Final Ball President should be so. The contest for the distinction of being the worst dancer resulted in a tie vote between Mr. 212 C. C. Tutwiler and a tall and graceful gentleman from Louisiana. Mr. Tutwiler being the statis- tician for the Calyx, gracefully yielded in favor of his rival, as might have been expected. Hut the gentleman thus selected assures us that the voters have made a mistake ; and his opinion be- ing sustained by a competent court of young ladies, the election of Mr. Young is hereby set aside. Mr. A. H. Deal, or Square Deal, as he is known, is considered the most liberal man, not because he gives more than any others, but because he gives what he can cheerfully and promptly. The rather invidious selection of Mr. S. M. Young, of Mississippi, as the most honest man IS due, rather to the general belief that no dark thoughts could be concealed within so bright a head, than to any suspicion of dishonesty in the rest of us. The neatest man is D. Weaver, of Tennessee, though he had a close competitor in Mr. Geo. Johnson of Oregon. Some disappointed candidates have been heard to say they guess the)- would be as neat as D. if the)- could get a girl to go walking with them every afternoon, as he does. The selection of one of the Calyx editors, a member of the Senior class, too, as the biggest ••prep, is so ridiculous that we scorn to notice it. It was evidently the result of an unholy com- bination of the kids and Freshmen. The average man at Washington and Lee is twenty years and one month old, five feet and ten inches tall, and weighs one hundred and forty-seven pounds. 213 $rtoii OlKov, mi XjemeiMtx.j ' i Towers TLhc Battle of tbe pio Sinn. ©edicatcO to ©ur jfrienDs, tbe Carets, IN I,OVIN(; RIMEMBKANC ' E OF IRovcmbcr 10, 1894. • HOr fairest nymph, than all the graceful nine J More beauteous far, who from Pierian groves ■ ' f Has come to haunt the shady campus walks, And from the grand stand ' s topmost bench dost cheer Athenian youths to deeds of ever greater fame; vSweet Calico, aid me, I praj-, to sing The dread and bloody wars that erst did wage The men of Athens gainst those hapless wights That dwell in Vemeiratia ' s dismal towers. First tell, O Muse, the cause whence came this strife, How athlete team from Athen ' s cultured walls Did seek the grid-iron that all white was made 214 Upon the field where Olympic games are held, On which Mt. Oikos in majestic solitude Looks calmly down in solemn watchfulness. Now see the bold Athenian team advance Against the barbarous Vemeiratian band. Upon each brow there rests a stern resolve Some glorious deed to do or bravely bleed. Then came the dreadful rush of mighty frames, And heaped in struggling mass upon the plain ; The players kicked, and slugged and bit their foes, While muttered curses deep and fierce were heard. Full long the contest raged, but all in vain Athenian skill with barbarous brawn contends ; For though full many an athlete lost his teeth, And bones were crushed, while crimson torrents flowed From broken noses, still did sad defeat Brood o ' er the Grecian host in silent ranks As darkening night upon the re.stless sea. While ' emeiratia ' s brazen hordes did make The air to shriek with strident howls and jeers. II. The game was lost, and slow the Athenian throng In gloomy silence straggled from the lists. And would betake them to their widespread tents. But high Olympus had not thus decreed ; For Eris saw with jaundiced ej e the parting hosts, And plots full dark she laid for mortal strife. In truth, dark Eris had quite lost her place Within Olympian councils since that day She envious cast the golden apple down Amid the vain Olympic dames, and drew All Greece in vengeful fight for ten long years About the god-built walls of fated Troy. But now the irate goddess .saw her chance. And straightway singled from the rodent band A youth to folly and vain boasting known, And therefore missnamed Sophos. Him she led By promise of unending brag in future days To cast a coward spear, that speeding swift Upon its treacherous flight full on the back The last Athenian struck, and down he fell. Loud clanging in his brazen arms, as when The might} ' monarch of the forest yields Its towering height unto the gleaming axe. Then from Athenian throats there rose a .shout Of maddened rage, such as Olympia ' s vale Before had never heard: so loud and fierce That huge Mt. Oikos trembled on its base, The plain then quaked with quick and heav) ' tread Of Greeks that ha.stened back revenge to take For deed so foul; nor slow the barbarous horde Their shrinking comrade to defend and save. Black Eris joyed to see the hastening lines, And soon she reigned supreme amid the throng Of raging men. Loud rang the tempered steel 215 On shields of brass, and hissing arrows cleft The air, while huge, rough stones by mighty arms Were hurled as thick as driving storm of hail. Now tell, O Muse, what bravest deeds were done. What lieroes fell, and what the issue was. First raged Angletes of the Athenian host With flashing eye, and arm that none could stay. He dire confusion spread through all the ranks Of rodent foes, as terrier in a barn. He heaved resistless stones with certain aim, Against the yielding foe. ' Twas then he spied The crafty Sophos, far retired behind The foremost ranks, from whence unseen he sped His biting shafts upon the advancing Greeks. With maddened stride Angletes forward charged. Intent the blood of Sophos should be spilled In honor of his comrade that was slain. But 3 ' oung Gangrenes rashly stood between The cowering Sophos and the raging Greek. He quickly drew his gle aming sword and strove To pierce the warrior ' s hardened foot-ball suit, But all in vain. The slender blade of steel Was shivered by the onward rush, and then Gangrenes lay quivering on the bloody plain. With troubled spirit Sophos thus beheld His shielding friends o ' erthrown before the Greek, And aiming quick a last keen shaft that harmless Turned aside, he safetj- sought in flight. But yet too late. Angletes hurled a stone That fell with crushing weight upon his head ; His knees grew weak, and darkness as of night Crept o ' er his soul, as does the surging wave Upon the shingle beach at ri.sing tide ; He sank to earth, and Sophos was no more. While thus Angletes raged about the plain, The fight was hot and fierce through all the host ; Huge Pandexon, Vemeiratia ' s pride. Had struck to earth young Dophos with a stone. But pious Kovon quick the giant slugged 216 With knotted club, and brought him to the ground, While Laikon fiercely kicked the prostrate form. But soon was run brave Kov ' on ' s bloody course, For Sphilon ' s hurtling spear fell on his head, And like a massive tower he crashed to earth. Then waxed great Huinnos direful wroth in heart, To see his loved friend thus fallen low. And straight he smote young Sphilon on the ear And felled him as an ox upon the green. Nor then did Huinnos stay his mighty arm, But raged like a furious lion midst the throng Of brass-clad Vemeirates, carrying death And wounds where ' er he turned, but soon him, too, A rodent smote, and blackness siezed his eyes. Bold lenkinides also many a blow And wound with stick and stone in vengeance dealt. But him no god protected ; soon he fell Beneath a gleaming war-sword ' s biting edge. 217 III. Bard may not sing, nor hoary prophet tell What issue of this fight at last had come, Nor how many warriors must have gone to join The gory heaps that strewed the embattled plain Had envious discord held her bloody sway. But Zeus looked from Olympus to the plain, And anger filled his breast to see such strife And frightful clamors midst the sons of earth. He shook his ambrosial locks; all heaven waked. A thunderbolt he seized, then, in each hand. And straightway jumped upon the summit bare Of blue Mt. Oikos. Thence he panting ran Across the vales and hills to the battlefield. All heaven at his heels, save only lame Hephaistus, who the jump had found too long. Great Zeus came running up the dusty road, And toward the Grecian host he took his way, While lively Bacchus, following next behind, Went to the Vemeiratia, who had loved Him ever best of all the heavenly host. But first Olympian Jove, as always wont, Assumed a human form, and to the Greeks Appeared as one Old Karlis, in Athens known, A learned teacher of the law and wise. Them Zeus, witn ready words and bold, And arm constraining, held unwilling back, While Bacchus led the ' emeirates off. Thus ceased this bloody strife by heaven ' s aid. The Greeks were marshaled on the battlefield, And after taking much of spoils in clubs And weapons of full many sorts and kinds, They sought their widespread tents and evening meal. 218 The Editors-in-chief owe especial thanks to Messrs.
