OVERTURE This, the fifth volume of The Calyx, is thrust upon an over- credulous and unsuspecting i student body (credulous as to = ' our ability and unsuspecting as to our lack of it) with fear and trembling. We have violated the eleventh commandment — we have been found out— and our sin will ever be held before us by those who trusted us. Consider, however, that p: ' ,) the editors are taking their first fling at publishing a college annual and that the management is sadly crippled by the financial burden left upon the stu- dents by the football season, and let these facts, to some extent, stifle crit- icism and mitigate the horrors of this book.

TANDING on the threshold of a new century we can not help glancing over the long list of our predecessors and asking whether we have attained or not the high standard maintained throughout the long stretch of years. In many things no doubt we may have equalled or even excelled them ; where we have failed we leave those in authority to judge. We are the connecting link between those who have so long been proud to write the surname i8 — and those eagerly awaiting to prefix 19 — to their year of graduation. To the one we have only words of commendation and praise ; to the others that follow we say beware, that ye let not the old outstrip the new in the loftiness of ambition or the honesty of purpose. Well we remember the day we reached our Athens. First the winding river wending its way eastward to the great ocean, then old House Mountain, the patriarch of this part of the ' alley of Virginia. Across the river a glimpse of the home of our neigh- bors a symphony in yellow. At last the stately figure of Old George with whom the future would bring such close intimacy. Not without misgivings as to the future did we come to this unknown land and some of these were realized though we will draw the veil over our first mistakes and adventures. We can remember as though it were yesterday with what a thrill we heard for the first time the old yell resound in the night air and were glad that we could take our humble part. We came at an auspicious time. The wdieel of fortune so long adverse to us was to turn in our favor and after the conflict was o ' er w-e had triumphed over our neighbors. Of course in our childish error we thought that we alone could be the inspiration to such noble deeds of valor. Time passes. How proud we feel as we gather again as Sophomores. In our first year we have known every man in College and perhaps the greater part of his life history. Now we are to be more exclusive and look down on the Fresh as though he belonged to a lower order in the scale of life, fit subjects only 19 for ridicule and ojipression. Alas ! ' t is human weakness to forget so soon one ' s own failings. There is iiofhiiii we do not know and we l:iegin t(5 take a prominent part in the affairs of College. We aspire to honors in every department, ' e strive to pull the wires in the literary societies, perhaps we paint Old George and commit other sins which we hope have long since 1)een forgiven and forgotten by the Faculty. Our Junior year is not so eventful in many respects. We come to the realization of the fact that there are some things we do not know and proceed forthwith to sober down and accjuire- them. Perhaps other developments around town could explain this also but that would hardly be called class history. We leave others to worry the Fresh and Faculty, know fewer men in College and less about everything in general. ' ith Uriah Heep we can say we are very umble. We are not so numerous as before ; many have dropped Academ and taken to the Law which has been said, though never above a whisper, to be the } Iecca for all broken-down Academs. Nineteen hundred ! At last we reach the acme of bliss as Seniors, a position so exalted that in our infantile Freshmen minds we had never thought to attain. We become very dignified, hand down our opinion on any subject whatever under discussion with an air wliich only our long experience and wisdom in College affairs can justify. With grave faces we discuss the present evils in College, advise . antidotes and reminesce for the benefit of the common herd of what took place in this or that year of our College existence, ' e note with pleasure the rivalry between the two lowest classes, an evidence that college spirit will not be lacking when we are gone. The members of this class and their accomplishments are so well known to all that it would be unnecessary to mention them here. Suffice it to say that as a body our accomplishments are legion, ' khere are athletes who have upheld the white and blue on many a hard contested field, soon to repeat them in the struggles of life, students who well know how to burn the midnight oil but. alas, depart to seek the wider fields of personal research and study ; engineers who will strive to rival the Seven W onders of the World 20 in the products of their architectural skill ; philosophers who will eventually discover and give to the world the benefit of what they see. In short, all the branches of liberal culture are here re])re- sented, a representative class of a representative institution. We can hardly realize that the f(jur years are i)ast, time has not leaden wings for us. .Ks we close our eyes the whole scene riaslies Ix ' fore us and we seem to live over again tlie events of cnir sojourn here. ( )ur first sight of the old buildings, the first lectures, our fear of the professors we have since learned to admire. The vivid picture of our first Commencement is now before us. The visiting calic. the stifiing heat of baccalaureate Sunday, the thrill- ing excitement of the boat race as with tense nerves we watch the struggle for the mastery. At last the Final Ball, the fascinating whirls, the whispered words (of wliat only the guilt v know) and a year is gone. So each flies before us greatly alike in most respects, vet each characterized by some momentous event. Again we are laughing and joking with the old familiar faces some of whom we have loved long since and lost a while, gone forever from our lives, r ' riend- ships such as these made at College are only broken by death ' s cold grasp. The present comes before us and even now we can almost hear the cry, Naughty Xaught is dead, long live Naughty One, and our heart grows sad as we heave a sigh at the thought of the coming separation. No more will we tread the old familiar halls, or lounge in our favorite nook on the campus content in our ha])pi- ness. A sterner future is before us. No more will we cheer our fellows from the side lines, no more lead the ' cops an exciting midnight sprint to safety. And the night wind seems to whisper with Poe ' s Raven, Nevermore. Our requiem has been sung. The pen fails us, the head falls on the breast and we are sad over the past and uncertain for the future. Without, the pale moon is slowly sinking behind the hills in the west, shedding her pale light on the sleeping tow n. She is resigning her reign of the night to the greater orb of the day. We look to the east and behold. jocund day stands tiptoe on the misty mountain top. Over the crest we see the first rays of the morning sun and in this glorious radiance of the god of a new day we see the figure of Ambition beckoning- us on. E. D. S. Officers. E.

The Class of lyoi makes mTZ you its best bow and bespeaks for itself in advance AILA that same tactful courtesy and kind consideration that n vou have hitherto sh(.) vn its j)redecessors. And this boon we. its members, ask, not from a desire to blind vour eves to the few faults we may possess or from a sense of our own unworthiness, for we are fully aware of our own superior qualities, — in fact we have often been told so, — but because we feel it but the just due of a class so distinguished in its day in every department of college life. We ask that you will not judge us through the faulty spectacles of the old maid (the average Lexington old maid is competent to find faults in any thing on earth except herself and her pet cat) ; nor yet through the admiring eyes of the thirteen-year-old prep at the Ann Smith, who looks up to us as so many heroes whose example he is to imitate to the best of his slender ability ; but with the true, unbiased judgment of that par- ticular portion of the fair sex known as calico, who, though they may sometimes eat a fellow ' s Lowney ' s before his face and then poke a little innocent fun at him behind his back, have none the less a warm spot in their hearts for the college man and are his truest judges. And now having complied with our request, as we hope, bear with us a little as we attempt to remind you of some phases of our past career. Our first coming together as a class was on that ever memor- able fifteenth of September. 1897, when headed by the Board, the Facultv, and a brass band, we marched to the chapel to witness the inauguration of our president, William L. Wilson. As for the first time we gave the Long Yell, a newly awakened feeling of the dignity of our position stole gratefully down our spinal columns and imparted an erectness to our bearing and a proudness to the carriage of our heads that would have been the envy of the awkward squad then parading on a certain neighboring hill. As we listened to the speakers, we felt that the mantle of all the departed heroes 25 of Washington and Lee had fallen on onr yonthful shoulders ; and after hearing the glowing words of our new president, we hegan to realize that from our ranks were to come the men who were to make the South again renowned for her learning and states- manship. Ah ! it was a repetition of the old feeling we had experi- enced when first told I)y our ambitious parents that some day we might become president of the United States. Taken all in all, it was a glorious first experience for us, and we may venture to say that no Freshman Class ever entered upon college life under more auspicious circumstances than the Class of lyoi. All too soon, however, we had to awake from our pleasant dreams to the stern realities of a student ' s life. Our minds were obliged to turn from the pleasing prospect of what we were going to do to the immediate necessity of finding out how to get things down Patsy, how to dodge those keen gray eyes that could tell at a glance just how much of the Alath lesson one knew, how to grub successfully for (ireek roots, and tiie skillful use and abuse of our mother tongue — knotty problems to be sure, severely testing- one ' s natural abilities and religious principles, but on their solution depended the success of our whole college career. Day after day, week after week, went by and we were gradually initiated into all the mysteries of college life (only one or two, how- ever, into those of the . . 1 ' . 1 ' .). The societies, literary and otherwise, received their full (juota: athletics occupied much of our time and attention and a fair share of our spare change ; we were shown the workings of college politics in the course of a hotly contested elec- tion for final ball president ; we were kindly invited out to tea with the professors without their knowledge and consent. We learned by experience many another valuable lesson, but it was after all onlv the ordinary lot of the Freshman. . nd then to crown the whole came the Christmas exams. It was certainly a time of intense excitement. Every face wore a deep expression of concern as the owner thereof would inquire : Who has a ' jack ' to Cicero? or, Can you give me the address of Hinds Nol)le? Yon youth who traverses the campus with listless step and vacant eve, his lips moving automatically, is he a lunatic, a lover, or a ])oet, or has he looked on the wine when it was red? 26 No ; it is only a poor Freshman cramming the table of contents of the Irregular ' erl)s of Attic Prose. One must not be surprised at being ' awakened out of sleep to hear his rcjoinmate nun-mur in his dreams the figures of speech or the man across the hall loudly declaim mathematical formulae. . few days of feverish suspense, a few nights of sleepless anxiety, a few hours of hard work, and it was over. Now might we go home for the holidays with the proud satisfaction of being at last a full-fledged student. Pleasantly pass the days of our Freshmanship. Weeks, months, terms came and went in rapid succession, each bringing in turn something new to occupy the attention or pass away the time, while we were becoming well versed in other sciences than those set down in the catalogue, such as the subtleties of calicoing and the art of statue decoration by moonlight. Before the session was over, too, it was discovered that there was some good material among us for future baseball teams and boat crews; and when in June the last bulletins were posted, a fair portion of the scholarships and distinctions fell to our class. As a week later the train speeding onward whirled us away from Washington and Lee, we settled back in our seats with a sigh of satisfaction and a grateful sense of ■■ well done. And here we stand before you to-day, gentle reader, in all the dignity that a Junior Class can possess, with the light of three years ' past achievements casting a halo of glory around our youthful forms that many a Senior Class might well envy. The distinction of which we gave so early promise has been more than won in the classroom and the gymnasium, on the athletic field and the river, in the literary societies and our college periodicals, i n every department of college life. True, there are some among us, who, when Freshmen ' s fake invitations to tea or painting Old George are mentioned, quietly change the subject ; but judge them not harshly on that score, for we can assure you these are failings that lean to virtue ' s side. And in these short three years we have seen many changes, changes for the better; we have seen the course enlarged, the law building erected, the numbers grow from one hundred and twenty-five to two hundred ; we have seen changes in the Faculty, have felt regret at the departure of the old, pleasure at the coming oi the new. Rut. 27 perhaps, the most affecting have been the repainting of the old buildings, an event which does not happen in the career of more than one class in tifty, and the removal to other scenes of our late professor of Latin. Dear old Patsy ! How we have laughed at his philosophv, wept at his jokes, and even occasionally tried to sympa- thize with his attempts to teach us something. What pains we have taken to give him pains ; but now that he is with us no more, rccjiiirsrat in pace. Such our past, with all the glorious future open before us. Soon we go forth into life to meet our troubles and our triumphs. our failures and our successes. Be those failures or successes what they may, one day when we visit our alma mater, to the whispered inquirv : Who is he? some one will answer: He is one of that glorious old Class of igoi. 28 H. B.

The oracles are dumb ; No voice or hideous hum Runs through the arched roof In words deceiving. TILL shine on in their inscrutable coldness and mvstery those calm stars which once flowed above many a scene of human woe or joy, as he who passes on from the Z ' ' temple at Delphi or Dodona bowed his head in anguish at the stern decree of the gods, or triumphantly dreamed of the success awaiting his clierished plans. Long, long ago the cry went over sea and land, The great god Pan is dead, is dead ! and every shrine of deity or haunt of nymph shook and crtmil)led to dust at the reverberating sound. Into the limbo of forgotten things has vanished that vast store of strange learning, gathered through the centttries when the world was young, by the Chaldean astrol- oger who wrested from the nightly heavens the secrets of the silent future. Yet, to-day, somewhere, in all human hearts lurks the longing for a revelation of the days to come. Who could have foretold the historv of the members of the Class of 1900, as they gathered together two vears ago, for the most part a history of the inner life. The same mental food, the same moral atmosphere, the same physical environment, yet how difftM-ent has been that history for each ! Training, belief, moods of thought, habits, every moment of vour previous life to a certain extent have colored your existence here. Heredity, custom, the two great factors of character, have played their part day after day. We boast of free-will, but how few have force enough to break their birth ' s invidious bar ? What has l:)een gained these years, what has been the gift of these silent months? To one has come a deeper sense of the mean- ing of human existence. All the relations of life stand out to him in truer aspect. Deep in his heart has grown a realization of the 38 force of the old. old story of man ' s salvation. He is quicker to see the right, stronger to do it. He will never be a power in the reign of the demagogues. To another, an awakening of the intellect like the birth of a soul. He has discovered that in his grasp lies the greatest of all gifts — that of the orator — to sway men by the passion and eloquence of his words ; to bring the tear, ta win a joyous smile, to move compassion and pity, to awaken iionor. Well tor liini if he use the marvelous instrument in a worthy cause. Will his judgment and reason hold with his eloquence? Will the day come, when in the halls of government he will incite to war with his thundering denunciation or calm to peace by the music of his words in the appeal for justice and forbearance? Let him cling to his Ithuriel ' s spear. Here is he wide of soul and bold of tongue. In his splendid youth and strength he has Burnished without fear, The brand, the buckler, and the spear. Waiting to strive a happy strife, To war with falsehood to the knife, And not to lose the good of life. Go forth, young knight, in your maiden armor; for you I can but wish there may never come ' ' The check, the change, the fall. Do not listen to the cynical old world as it tells vou vou but tilt with windmills ! Slay your dragons of unbelief, of indifiference. Part vour gar- ments with the shivering beggar. Give to thirsting age a cup of cold water. Believe that you entertain angels unawares and Rowing hard against the stream, See distant gates of Eden gleam, And do not dream it is a dream ! To each of us a different gift, in truth. You, the ability to grasp details, the power of absorption in the minutiae, and with it the eternal guard against the narrowing of your own soul. And 39 you, have these college years but proven a continuation of the primrose path of dalliance? Have you but gained an instrument for the furtherance of your own ambition? Has there entered into anv heart or brain the poison of speculative philosophy so apt to be engendered by intercourse with young and untried intellects? To each our alma mater has offered an inspiring draught. Has it been received in the right spirit? Success to you all, my comrades. I dreamed once of a shore- less sea quivering under the eternal sun. Tossed on those boundless waters, under the spell of introspection, my soul shrank with its sense of utter insignificance. As our voyages begin upon this untried ocean of responsible life, let us throw aside our petty aims, our insipid pleasures, our woeful selfishness ! Not by ease and indifference to the great problems, but by brave toil and earnest endeavor for all that is noble and high, will our life be worth the living. One fair word can be our guiding star and never will it mislead us. The path of duty is the way to glory ; He that walks it, only thirsting For the night, and learns to deaden Love of self, before his journey closes. He shall find the stubborn thistle bursting Into glossy purples, which outredden All voluptuous garden roses. W. H. M. 40 Junior Law Class. Officers. James M. Corbett President George S.

Many plans were proposed and many ideas were expressed for the carrying out of this preserva- tion scheme and, although half-hearted interest and no work at all had stricken an attempt to publish an annual called Thesaurus several years before, a large and enthusiastic mass-meeting resolved Whereas, Other universities, even colleges, aye, and even academies, successfully published annuals, that we, the people of the Washington and Lee University in mass-meeting assembled do Ordain. P ' irst, that an annual shall be published; second, that it shall be called anything the editors please except Thesaurus: and third, that one William Reynolds Vance, of Kentucky, assisted by William Carl Lauck and such men as the several fraternities and societies should select, should be entrusted with the literary end of the publication, and Mr. James Bell Bullitt, of Kentucky, should foot the bills provided his collections as manager did not meet the expenses. Of course, whatever a mass-meeting ordains must be done, so Mr. Vance, et al., published the book. It was called The Calyx after the honey-cup of the flower, its best and sweetest part and, in a measure, after the pet name given to the fair daughters of Lex- ington — and Mr. Bullitt paid the bills. College politics ruined The Calyx in ' 95-96 Two editorial boards were elected and consequently no book w as published. In ' 96-97 a new method w-as tried in selecting the editors. The whole board was elected by a mass-meeting and the board selected its own chief. Mr. J. M. D. Armistead, of Mrginia, was chosen editor- in-chief, with Mr. A. F. Toole, of Alabama, as assistant. The next year the impractibility of an excessively large board was seen, so the present plan of choosing the editors was tried and found successful. B. F. Harlow, of West Virginia, L. W. Smith, of ' irginia, and A. G. Snyder, of West Virginia, were chosen by the mass- meeting in ' 97-98, and M. G. Perrow, of ' irginia, R. W. Withers, of Virginia, and J. H. Shively, of Indiana, last year. •4 49 The Southern Collegian. Sapere Aude. GEORGE PETRIE FISHBURNE, Virginia. Editok-ix-Chief. THOMAS A. BLEDSOE, Virginia, As.sistant Editor. LINDLEY A.

ONTEMPC)Rx NEUUS with the discovery of gold in £M Cahfornia a discovery was made in the staid old town ■ I ■ of Lexington. The students who were gathered here 1 discovered that their thoughts and ideas were so good that for the l)enetit of mankind they ought to be spread on something more lasting than their own memories, so they determined to put them into enduring form. A little paper called the Old was the outcome of this determination but, sad to relate, the newly discovered ideas were found to be too prone to run into anathemas, the Faculty generally being the subject at which they were hurled, consequently after a few months of troubled existence the Owl sank beneath the mighty weight of Professorial disap- proval and was seen no more. For twelve years after the disapj earance of the Otv ' those gems of thought so plentiful in the students ' mind were lost forever. For the next four years, from ' 61-65, the students, what few there were left, had but one thought and their heroic struggles during_ that period leaves no doubt as to what it was. Their deeds are history and their battles in support of that idea have raised them to the highest pinnacle of fame where they stand crowned with honor and self-sacrifice. 50 ' I ' hree years after tlie war ckxsed a successor to the Oi . ' l sprung up. It was called the ColU i;iaii, a fortnightly publication, whose early voyage on the sea of literature was steered by such men as S. Z. Ammen, present literary editor of the Baltimore Sun, and C. R. Breckinridge, late minister to St. Petersburg. L ' nder their guidance the Collegian had a fair vo age. It avoided the Scylla of Faculty disapprobation and, although almost wrecked in the Charybdis of political jealousy between the two literary societies, it safely passed the whirlpool and unto this dav sails on in pros- perity. The Collegian ' s name was changed in ' ■ 2 to the Souflicrn Collegian and in a few years after, in 78, the present magazine form and system of organization was adopted. At jjresent the two liter- ary societies, in joint meeting, elect an editor-in-chief, an assistant, and a business manager. Each society chooses two members as editors and the chief editor has the appointment of a man from the law class as legal editor and from the college at large as athletic editor. In 1873, Mr. George Santini of Xew Orleans, a former editor, gave $1,000 to the University, the income of which is to be used each year in purchasing a medal to be awarded to the writer of the best essay appearing in the Collegian. For a number of years the Lexington Gazette also gave a medal for the second best essay, but that has long since been discontinued. Many names high u]) in both the literary and political world appear in the list of editors. Congressman Hay, of ' irginia, was editor in 76. The great portrayer of Southern life and customs, Thomas Nelson Page, served his literary apprenticeship on the editorial board in ' 71. S. Z. Ammen and C. R. Breckinridge started it on its career. Charles A. Graves, professor of law ' at the Uni- versity of Mrginia, was at the helm in 1869, and of our own Faculty Drs. W. S. Currell, H. A. White, and ' . R. ' ance have been chief editors, in ' y, ' 83, and ' 92 respectively, the latter two having been awarded the Santini medal — Dr. White in ' 84 and Dr. ' ance in 94. 53 The R.ing=Tum Phi. WILLIAM J.

As is always the case, many talk 1)ut few are willing to put their hands to the wheel, so this need was not satisfied until in the fall of ' 97 J. Sam Sheer, Jr., took upon himself the task of starting a weekly. The flattering reception it received then and still continues to receive, not only from the students but from the alumni, shows how much it was wanted. With the prestige of its success during the past two years and its present prosperous condition it is safe to predict that the college weekly will enjoy a long life. Mr. G. R. Houston was its first editor and named it after the first line of the College yell — Ring-Titm Phi. Last session Mr. T. J. h ' arrar was editor-in-chief and Mr. H. S. Dixon, business manager. Vice J.

T IS with saddened pleasure that a member of the last class that sat under the instruction of Professor James Jones White writes this brief sketch of his life and char- acter. His service of nearly forty-one years as professor of Greek in Washington College and Washington and Lee University constitute his life-work, and our notice must be chiefly confined to his work as a teacher, and his rare and noble influence as a man over the lives and characters of the thousands of young men. who during a period of almost half a century, came into close personal contact with him. Therefore we must be con- tent with the merest statement of the events of his life. James Jones White was born in Nottoway County, Mrginia, on November 7th, 1828. His father, Rev. William S. White, D. D., a man of noble character and lofty virtues, was one of the striking figures in the Presbyterian Church of A ' irginia during his service, in several pastorates, of over fortv-si.x vears. In 1840, Dr. White was called to the church at Charlottesville, and became chaplain of the University of Virginia. Here, James Jones White was carefully prepared for the University of Virginia, which institution he entered in 1846. His course in the University of Virginia, which extended, with several interruptions, until 1851, was marked by especially brilliant attainments in Latin and Greek, which he studied under the guidance of that unique figure in the history of education in Virginia, Gessner Harrison. After teaching a year in Halifax County, Virginia, he was elected to the chair of Greek in Washington College, and in the fall of 1852 began the long term of service that only came to an end with his death on April 13th, 1893. In 1858, he married the daughter of Colonel Samuel McDowell Reid, who ably seconded her husband in dis- pensing that free and kindly hospitality that was never forgotten by those who had entered the charming precincts of their home in the old Reid mansion. In such a sketch as this w ' e may not speak further in detail of the events of his life, but in making an estimate 58 of his character and pcrsonalit}- it is necessarv to keep in mind the fact that he was at (Hfferent times associated on terms of con- fidence and intimate friendship with tw( of the must remarkable men of his time, i ' .efore Thomas J. Jackson, professor in the X ' irginia MiHtary Institute, had ridden away to become the Stone- wall of the Confederate army at the first battle of .Manassas, he was intimately known and highly valued by Professor White. And after the cause was lost at Appomattox, the great leader of the Confederate armies, during a period of five years, while president of Washington College, made the professor of (Ireek his frequent companion and confidential adviser. Moreover, during the resi- dence of General R. E. Lee in Lexington, and afterwards, manv distinguished men came as visitors to the now historic town. Most of these were entertained as guests in the home of Professor White, and were afterwards glad to claim the friendship of the courtlv ' irginian. . s an instructor Professor White was interesting and stimu- lating, and therefore most efficient. Possessed of a sound and thorough formal knowledge of the Greek language, he vet forebore to make use of Greek as an engine of oppression to his students, but breaking through the outer shell of paradigm and particle, he showed forth to those who followed his teaching the heart and spirit of the language, its capability of clear expression and its beautiful, simple literature. The formal requirements of the students in the lower classes were severe, but never needless ; and there was no one but understood that with him forms were but means, and never an end. He delighted especiallv in the wonder- ful tragedies of Sophocles and the airy idyls of Theocritus ; and his deep, musical voice would vibrate with feeling as it gave forth the rolling thunder of Homer ' s lines. His love for the Iliad he extended to Homer, and vigorously defended the ancient bard from the attacks of the German critics who would divide him into some two dozen different persons. But skillful and successful as was Professor White as a mere teacher of (Jreek, we must seek elsewhere the cause of his unbounded influence over the entire student-body, and of the admiration and affection with which he was regarded bv all the 59 students who attended Washington and Lee during his long term of service upon its Faculty. A relatively small percentage of the students were enrolled in the Department of Greek, yet the influ- ence of Professor White extended over all. To explain this we must look beyond the professor of Greek and see the teacher — the teacher of truth and honor and man- liness, — and beyond the teacher to see the man. P or after all it is the man in him who strives in whatever line of endeavor, that blesses the world, and makes its future happier and better. And especially is this true of the teacher. It is well for him to have learning, and skill in imparting such knowledge as he may have acquired, but the facts that are taught will soon fade from the pupil ' s mind and leave him little better for the instruction unless his instructor is a man who has strongly affected his nature, char- acter and habits of thought, and sent him forth from the class-room not so much stufifed with lore as instilled with loftier ideals, nobler purposes, and a deeper respect for his own manhood. The great teacher must be a true man ; and a teacher is greater as he approaches more nearly to that one perfect Man who was the greatest of all teachers. Professor White was a great teacher because he was first a man. To adopt the eloquent words of that other man, beloved and honored, J. Randolph Tucker : Unquestionably, the moral excellence, the majestic elevation, the priceless purity, the simple and unobtrusive, yet consistent and genuine Christian life of the man, James J. White, made the influ- ence of the teacher a power for incalculable good to the thousands of young men, who have for four decades visited these academic walks ; infinitely greater in benefit than would have resulted from the accretion in the storehouse of his memory of the acquisitions of all time, or the possession by him of the intellectual powers of the greatest genius who ever sat in the chair of a professor. In prefer- ence to genius and learning without moral power, give us ever the moral power of a Christian manhood, even though it be linked with less lore and less intellect. In person he was strikingly handsome, and being of unusu- ally great stature and erect bearing, he was a marked man in any assemblage. This commanding figure was accompanied with a 60 stately but gentle dignity of manner which at once attracted con- fidence and respect, but made impossible anything approaching presumption or familiarity on tlie part of students. All of this found expression in the name applied to him by the students with that happiness of clioice that so frequently characterizes tliese col- lege nicknames, Zeus. His understanding of young men was not less perfect than his sympathy with and affection for them. -At all times of trouble or doubt, whether of the individual or the student-body, he proved the wise and high-minded leader of the young men during all the years of peace as truly as he had been on the bloody field of Manassas, when, as captain of the Liberty Hall Volunteers, he saw one-fifth of his college boys fall dead or wounded. Intolerant of sloth or indifiference, he was yet full of ready sympathy for the student who had fallen into difificulty through misfortune or folly, and never sent him away unaided. And, lastly, he was loyal to the institution to which he had devoted his life, and his interest knew no division or diversion. Whether as acting president or merely as member of the Facultv, he contended with unfaltering courage for the interests of the Uni- versity, during periods of darkness and adversity. With patient determination, and in the face of numberless difficulties, he con- stantly sought to strengthen the University, and enlarge its possi- bilities of usefulness. And of Washington and Lee of to-day, with its broadened scope and increasing facilities, it may be truly said, excepting General Robert E. Lee, she owes to the memory of no one more than to that of James Jones White. 6i Martin P. Burks. NEW and valual)le acquisition to educational ranks is in the person of our recently selected professor of common and statute law to fill the chair made vacant by the transfer of Dean Graves to the University of Virginia. Martin P. Burks, the second and only surviving son of the late Judge Edward C. Burks of the N ' irginia Court of Appeals, was born in Liberty, ' irginia (now Bedford City), Janu- ary 23d, 1851. His early education was obtained at the old-field schools, chiefly at Sunnyside Institute, located about two miles from Bedford City. By 1866, he was prepared to start on his college career, and thereupon entered Washington College in September of that year. His predilection for athletic sports took up nuich time during the first session from his other college duties but thereafter he settled down to hard work and graduated with the degree of Bach- elor of Arts in June, 1870. After obtaining his academic degree, Mr. Burks remained at home one year, during which time his inclination for the law decided him to enter college again and perfect himself for that ])rofession. Accordingly, in the fall of 1871, he entered the law school of the University of X ' irginia, receiving his degree of liachelor of Law at the close of the same session. He returned immediately to his native county and began the ])ractice of law. Since then his life has been busy and studious with assiduous attention to every detail of his profession. His maiden elTort as an author, The Property Rights of Married Women in irginia, published in 1893, ' s been eminently suc- cessful both with the profession and as a text-book at Washington and Lee, Lhiiversity of Virginia, and Richmond College. In January, 1895. Mr. Burks was elected reporter for the Supreme Court of Appeals, which position he held until last April, when he took up his educational duties in the Law School of this institution. 62 Professor George H. Denny. fROFESSOR DENNY, who was chosen last July to fill tile chair of Latin, was born in Hanover County, ' ir- g ' m ' ia. Deconil)cr 3(1, 1870. His early education pre- jjaratorv to enterint;- colles c was (jl)taine(l at ])rivate scIkjoIs in that county. In 1887, he entered Hamixlen- Sidnev College, from which he graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1891. His excellent standing which evidenced his thorough knowledge of the course he had gone over, induced the trustees of that institution to appoint him a fellow in Latin, Greek, and Mathematics for the session of 1891-92. While holding this position he continued his college studies and in June of 1892 obtained the degree of Master of Arts. The session after receiving this degree, Professor Denny was tendered and accepted the position of assistant master at Pantops Academy. The proximity (jf this school to Charlottesville made it very convenient for him to pursue a graduate course in his chosen studies, Latin and Greek, at the Cniversity of ' irginia. From this institution he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophv in June, 1897, and was immediately called to fill the chair of Latin and German at his old alma mater— Hampden-Sid- ney. There he remained until the beginning of the last session, when that college reluctantly gave him up, to fill the position at Washington and Lee made vacant by the resignation of Professor 1- ay. 63 ' Professor Charles L. Crow. HE occupant of our chair of Modern Languages, Pro- fessor Charles L. Crow, was born at Norfolk, Virginia, in 1866. He entered the Norfolk Academy when quite voung and prepared for Washington and Lee Uni- versity, where he matriculated in 1884. The four years he required to obtain his Master of Arts degree was marked in 1885 by his winning the Language Scholarship and in 1888. the Cincinnati Oratorship. Apart from his studious excellence, he indulged freely in athletics which has guaranteed him a sound body. After teaching a session in Charlotte Hall Military Academy, he crossed the waters and attended the LTniversity of Gottingen where he specialized on the modern languages and spent his spare time in the pleasure and education of foreign travel. In 1892, he published his thesis and received from that university the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. On returning from Europe Professor Crow held positions suc- cessively as teacher at the Sanouer Summer School of Languages ; assistant principal, Norfolk High School ; and as professor of Eng- lish and Modern Languages at Weatherford College, Texas. During this period he became the author of several publications among which are : Zur geschichte dcs Kurzen Reimpaares im Mittelenglischen and an editor of, Maldon und Brunnanburh. Last year when it was decided to separate the department of Modern Languages from that of English, Professor Crow was elected to the new chair. 64 ■ra t -t-| c 1 , ,1 07 Finals, ' 99. (3 N OUR college days, as the years roll round in ever- K shortening circles, there comes that brief but joyous Bb season, Commencement, or better. Finals ; for it is more r s ) the ending of our college days than the beginning of — ' our life-work. And as we indulge in our last brief taste of college gaiety we always try to crowd those fleeting moments full of pleasures and so round out our course completely, for when we know it is the end we can not forget the wrench ' t will give our hearts to tear away from all these scenes. On a bright June day we come wandering out of an examina- tion, sighing contentedly as we feel it has been safely passed : that means our degree is assured. It is distinctly a pleasure to hurl that ink bottle away, give a I eshman the exam, pad and say with a choked laugh, Ah, that s the last exam I ' 11 ever stand in those old halls! Xow we are ready for finals. The visitors are begin- ning to arrive and as is natural to students, our interest centers in the girls. We have no engagements with unknown quantities but 67 we like to see them all and hear all that is to be heard about them. Sunday morning it is a scramble to get ready for church on time, for we go to-day in spite of rain ; it ' s our last baccalaureate da}-. And glad we are that we could go and long will we declare that Bishop Galloway is the best preacher in the land. Such a sermon makes us realize that it is not all of life to live nor all of death to die. Soon Sunday has gone and we as vet scarcelv realize that finals have begun. A cloudy Monday looks gloomy and offers little encourage- ment for the boat-race. But to our great delight the clouds lift a little, enough to insure the race, and we do so want our crew to win. We ' ve talked all year about it, we ve helped paint Old George in glowing colors, we may have had a few harmless fights for the sake of the crew, I)ut all that is over now. Five short minutes will decide the question. So here we are with hundreds of others in excited expectation. May be we sat in a boat once ; if so we help get the crew off and give them a last word of cheer and advice. Then up and down the island in restless impatience, chatting with friends and scowling at foes, and many a time startled as some one shouts They ' re coming, until at last that low noise of running horses says they are coming sure. Down to the water ' s edge or uj) to the highest top of a carriage we go, dancing to the time of a thumping heart. Here they come! and from the Blues goes up a shout of joy while this Red gently murmurs, Well, damn ! let ' em take their water. As they come down that shining- slope of w-ater I wonder where that smooth swing is that Harry Lee generally has : it ' s gone and s]:)eed has gone with it. I try to look away but my eyes won ' t leave the boats. Ah ! that ' s better ! the Blues are getting weak, and I see the little red pennant jump a bit farther each time, the gap is closing up, and I jump a little higher each stroke, yelling wildly, Hit ' em up, Stiffy, hit ' em up, until those red backs swing together on three long strokes that poke their boat ' s nose over the line three feet in the lead. Up in the air go red hats, flags, banners and streamers in wild and tumultuous confusion while on every side there soimds the roar of, Rah ! Rah ! Rail ! Rah ! Rah ! Ree ! Ree ! Ree ! Har-ry Lee ! 68 It seems only a few short moments until we are listening or not listening, to youthful orators glorify our nation ' s heroes or explain away national crises. And shorter still are the moments after that celebration when we stroll along the campus or enjov the pleasures of the final german. With a good floor, good music, a good leader, and a good partner that cotillion leaves us an eager- ness for more. Tuesday morning we saw the laying of the corner-stone for the Memorial Hall — a ceremony enjoyable and enjoyed despite the burning heat, which forced us to seek cooling shade for the rest of the day and enjoy the congenial spirits until more celebrations were in order. Then the lawyers had their turn, listening to the eloquent Judge Rose. And then that alumni banquet where water and talk flowed freely far into the night. Or. if we preferred other amusement, perhaps we went to the M, -V. E. German and found that that club had again proven itself a successful host. The rosy- fingered dawn sent us home to see visions and dream dreams of the girl that seemed so sweet, and perchance to have those visions interrupted by a set of roisterers trying to pour down our throat some vile stuff from a long-necked bottle. Or. again, perhaps we did not go to the alumni banquet or german, but gathered a few friends to our room and there built fragrant delicacies of sugar and water and mint. Those moments, too. were marvelously short. The friends left very early and with unwonted care we folded our clothes and prepared for bed. As we started to get aboard we found we were trying to mount a merry-go-round, going at full speed ; we managed to climb on while it moved, only to find that the merry- go-round was aboard a ship in a stormy sea, and up and down we tossed until a big black wave sent the whole outfit to the bottom where a sword-fish began to investigate our ribs and say, Get up, you old fool, you can ' t sleep all day. Glad we were to see the light of that bright day, for on that ' ednesday we were to receive our diplomas. That little roll of parchment of itself produces a feeling of satisfaction, but it gives a feeling of happy triumph as the graduate walks down and lays it on the lap of the girl who is waiting for him, and it is more than happiness to hear her say. I ' m proud of you, as she gently presses his hand. 71 Well, we got our diplomas and heard valedictories and fare- wells, and finally a most charming address to the literary societies by Dr. Hume. Then we realized that our college days were indeed ended and we determined to enjoy that final ball as never before. Oh, what a ball that was! As a day in June is perfect, so was that night in June. Without, the pallid moon stooped from her heavenly course to rest her on the mountain ' s breast, w hile the attendant stars sang to her their mystic music, and the little fire- flies with magic maze wove slumber charms for her. Within, there was a fairy-land of light and color where waited the court for the coming of the prince to whistle into motion the eager throng. And from the time when he, with his pale princess, and their respective trains, danced a stately figure, until Aurora ' s train came dancing o ' er the hills, there was joyous revelry in that land of delight. There was mirthful laughter and rollicking shoutings, and there was the subdued whispering of tender words or the message from bright eyes to brighter ones, and there, too, were tears spark- ling and saying farewells the voice could not utter, — this, all this was there and much else, too. 72 So was the end of our dream in that happy valley, where the morning sun rose red over the Blue Ri lge and the evening sun sank golden behind the purple Alleghenies. W ' liat time we tarried among those hills, shut from the outside world, we did ever seem falling asleep in a half-dream, and were only removed from that hollow Lotus-land struggling, but Ixnuul by stern Necessity : for surely there, if anywhere, The Lotus blooms below the barren peak, The Lotus blows by every winding creek ; All day the wind breathes low, with mellower tone, Thro ' every hollow cave and alley lone, Bound and round the spicy downs the yellow Lotus dust is blown. 73 i The Liberty Hall Volunteers. HE most picturesque phase in the life of man is the uniformed figure which foUows the rhythmic measures of martial music, with his implements of trade glittering in his hands and the flag of his country fluttering over his head. Men admire women, the women admire the men, children admire each other, but all, men, women, and children worship the soldier. He is ever honored and his deeds belong to his country. It glories in them and reckons them among its richest possessions. They are pointed to with pride, their reflected glory envelopes all who come under their rays, and those who have been near the actor count that time among their dearest associa- tions. This old University has many such associations in which to revel, starting even before the nation ' s birth and running in unbroken succession through our last war. Whenever a stout heart and a steady hand has been needed to protect it, even unto death, this institution has furnished her quota in the cause of right and liberty has been her idol for a century and a quarter. Two months before July 4th, 1776, William Graham, the head of Augusta Academy, rechristened his school and declared in its new name that it and its teachings would ever stand for the cause of freedom. Liberty Hall it was called and several years later when Tarleton and his raiders were overrunning the lowlands of A ' irginia it showed that it was not only in name and teaching the symbol of liberty, but when liberty was in distress it would furnish its offering of human life to defend its principles, for when Tarleton sought new fields of conquest beyond the mountains he met such a deter- mined resistance in Rockfish Gap that he thought it best to retire to the east. Tarleton was checked by a sturdy band of mountain- eers and in that band was William Graham and his scholars from Liberty Hall ready to give up their lives in the defense of their homes and the cause of liberty. 74 Of the two soldiers for whom this University is named it is needless to speak. One ' s life is one of the greatest prides of our country, the other ' s, of this Southland. But there is another set of soldiers whom we can claim as our own. Sixty-four students of this University, College it was in those days, have left us a bequest of all that is noble in man. Organized even before their State had proclaimed itself severed from the L ' nion, fighting throughout the whole war between the States, and ever maintaining the repu- tation won at the first battle of Manassas where their general said of them that they were more than brave, their record is one of the brightest pages in the history of Washington and Lee. These boys in honor of their ])redecessors in the war of the Revolution called themselves the Liberty Hall ' olunteers, and their deeds have added a new lustre to the old name of Liberty Hall causing it to be one of the proudest, among the many i)r )U(l names of which ' irginia can boast. A few weeks after the rise of the Confederacy, the people of the North decided to end the war in one stroke by sending McDowell to ride over Beauregard ' s little army at Manassas and march on to Richmond. Perhaps they would have succeeded except for the fact that way ofif yonder in the ' alley of ' irginia General Johnston was hastening to reinforce the handful of men opposing the Xorthern advance. I)y a marvelous forced march, he arrived in time and in his army was the College company, not one of which fell out or straggled although many of the men could not stand the jjace. With unbroken ranks they filed into this their first battle, mere schoolboys ; they came out veterans, bearing the proud name of Stonewall but left six of their number dead on the field as sacrifices to the cause for which thev were fighting. two different battles, after suffering heavy losses from death, dis- ease, and capture, the Liberty Hall ' olunteers surrendered with Lee at Appomattox. Four different captains, two first lieutenants and one second lieutenant had been killed or captured leaving the company in command of J. H. B. Jones the surviving ofificer with rank of lieutenant, but his company only numbered four men — one of whom, Thomas M. Turner, was all that was left of the original band that marched away from Washington College in June. ' 6i. 77 A personal account of each man would be as impractical as to recount all of the marches they made and battles they fought in the Stonewall Brigade Init a glance at their officers will show the morale of the company and give an idea of what they did. Of the four captains, J. J. White was compelled to retire on account of sickness. H. R. Morrison was captured at Kernstown. Hugh A. White fell waving the flag under which he fought leading the com- panv in the last charge at Second [Manassas, and G. B. Strickler was taken by the Northern army at Gettysburg. John X. Lvle, the first lieutenant when the company started out was also captured at Kernstown and his successor, Samuel H. Lyle, fell into the hands of the Union army at Gettysburg. Three of the company are trustees of this University: G. B. Strickler, the Rector, and A. T. Barclay and William A. Anderson ; and manv others in the roll have been active and prominent in the service of their alma mater. Below is given the roll of the men who left Lexington with the Liberty Hall A ' olunteers, sixty-four of whom were students or instructors and the others have been made honorary alumni by the board of trustees : Captain, James Jones White.

The biillroom ' s gaily lighted, The music thrills us all, And if your hopes are blighted We beg you leave the ball ; For ' tis no place for grieving, For moping and for fear, And if she ' s been deceiving Try her again next year. For we must drink a toast, boys, And drink with naught but glee, And we must drink the health, boys. Of Washington and Lee— Of Washington and Lee, boys, Of Washington and Lee, ' Wegladh drink a health, boys, To Washington and Lee. The men about to leave us, Were splendid college-mates ; Their parting needs must grieve us — But grieving to the Fates ! For though the years were fleeting But pleasant, we spent here, Like brave hearts warmly beating We part without a tear. So come and drink a toast, boys, etc. Daylight is fast advancing. The ball will soon be o ' er. And men around you dancing Shall dance in here no more — But laugh and shout and talk, boys, Do not succumb to grief. For in your life-long walk, boys. Is many a dying leaf. Then come and diink a toast, boys, etc. — Mike Kyan. 82 The Way of It. A Freshman came, and lie started off right,— Which you and I didn ' t do. He never cut classes, and studied all night, — • Which you and I never do. Each morning at Chapel this Freshman ' d appear ; He never missed church all during the year. He won him a scholarship, but it is queer, That you and I never do. As a Sophomore, Freshy began to get gay, — Which you and 1 try to do ; Went in for athletics, and all sorts of play, — Which you and I think we do. He ran with the Calic, and staid out at night ; He learned to play billiards and pool out of sight, But as he still studied, exams, brought not fright To him as to me and you. The third year in college saw the fall of this lad, — Which you and I used to do. He got struck on a girl and went to the bad, — Which you and I used to do. She was older than he, but he thought her a dream, And he said that all girls were the age that they seem. He left her in June, but wrote notes by the ream, — Which you and I used to do. He came back next fall, and brought her a ring, — Which you and I ' 11 never do. A wedding was planned to come otf in the spring, — Which you and I ' 11 never do. But her lover came ' long, of the Class ' 63. The shock drove our friend on a protracted spree, So he lost his best girl, his exams., his degree, Which you and I always do. The moral to take from this little rhyme, Which you and I never do, Is not to go ' long like us all the time. Which you and I always do ; Nor yet be like Freshy in all of his ways. Attend to your studies, athletics and plays, But steer clear of the calic, they ' 11 plague all your days, - Which you and I ' 11 never do. 85 George Washington, Sentry. UNIVERSITY TOWER. A Reverie.

' HE cold Virginia winter has passed away, and the labored imitations of Cape Cod snowstorms and Maine coast freezes eloped with the first spring zephyr. The sun ' s done come back again ' and old House Mountain. rock-ribbed and ancient as the sun, towers majestic- ally over the vales which stretch in quiet pensiveness below. Here are the venerable wood, the river, and the complaining brooks that iFrom Ben King. 89 make the meadows green ; ' and following the jagged lines of blue and purple the Alleghanies and the Blue Ridge print their bold outlines on the clear evening sky. Now the landscape is cloudless, then a scarlet vapor in magical hue hoods the mountain tops ; there is a flowing flood of burning blood, a heaven-sent apparition of pure, translucent amber, rose-tinted clouds and deeper ones of glory; a purple haze of richest hue crowns royally their grace and drifts above ; then the North wind comes with its fife and its drums and the picture ])ales in the air ; and there stands in dark, dreary shadow a huge black silhouette in the gathering dusk — the sun has set over House Mountain ! And below sleeps a city, a Rip Van Winkle slumber, tired out from doing nothing, worn out with the weight of years, arousing only in the morning at the tap of a burly negro fist on the old creaking oak door and falling back to peaceful unconsciousness at the roar of the sacred Confederate cannon on Military Hill. Here I have watched the cloud shadows drowsily creep along the river, here I have watched the Master Artist paint golden and crystal colorings on the canvas of heaven ; here I have shivered as Jack Frost showed me copies of Alpine winters on the bleak Janu- ary landscape. Again I say, this is nature ' s own domain ; here like a true lover nature is wooed as she is ! And as I sit up here on the plains of Col Alto and drawing out the two-foot slide of this rusty old telescope which Hon. Chris- topher Columbus presented to the fifteenth great-grandfather of the Hon. St. George Tucker, way back in the days when they told jokes together on the Isle of Bermuda, and raising the vener- able instrument to my eyes, I gaze out along the horizon — ah ! there is Weiss ' s ! Dear old Weiss ' s ! and I look down on a pale, white, graceful figure standing erect, with gun grasped firmly in hand, like a rat on the ' . M. I. campus, and my bosom heaves a sigh and I take a long, deep puff at my cigarette. ' T is the father of my country! How faithfully like a sentry of old he has stood up yonder guarding the sacred grounds of the C niversity ! Through cold blasts of many long winters he has faced the rebufifs of the blizzards and the gales and the storms with the same stalwart, manly vigor and heroism that indelibly stamped his name with life-blood into the From A Masterpiece, by M.

Five hundred miles through forests primeval ; five hundred miles in the jaws of a merciless death ; five days with nothing to cat l)Ut Unccda l)iscnit ; and nothing to warm his feet but the fire of patriotism ; leading a i)eople on to victory; leading a nation into history ; and every footprint cutting his name in the sands of time. Yes ! This was the man who now stands nuunmified on yonder University tower. Dropping my telescope I rest m - weary head upon my hands and, forgetting the world and its woes and cares, I gaze silentlv for a moment at tlie pale and ghastly figure ! ( leorge, old boy ! Really aren ' t you tired ; aren ' t you a little weary, too. from standing up there on your two wooden legs over Dr. Ouarles ' s philosophical room? Don ' t you ever get tired of hearing Jim Crow rattle his ich Hebe dich wie der tuefel ' s his willst du mich heiraten ' s his que cette femme est belle ' s. and his ' TTengo mas amigos de los que ' . piensa ' s? Wouldn ' t you like to come ofif from your cupola? What ' s the matter? Won ' t Professor Hogue ever give you one cut ? Or were you late three times in succession that you should be everlastingly con- demned to eternal punishment? George, confidentially, you ' d better come off your perch? You ' re getting dissipated. You ' re staying out too late nights and if you are not more discreet this damp midnight air will give vou rheumatism and you ' 11 have to take Wacoma. Xo ! you can ' t die ! Great historians (Dr. White included) say that you are des- tined to live forever! Hard luck, old boy! Do you know Pearson, the man from Ocala? Well, he ' s been in your fix and perhaps he can give you a remedy ; they say he ' s got several excel- lent remedies for painlessly shufifling ofi this mortal coil (that ' s a phrase that Bill Shakspeare and Bill A ' ance use) that he would like to have some of his friends try. But, George, you ' re amid romantic surroundings ! Just twist your neck around a moment! You can ' t? Beg your pardon, old bov, I forgot it was wooden ! you ought to have a neck like Knipmever ' s ! You know him? He lives over in the Blue Hotel with Burns, the ballplayer: and Biggs, the — well, he ' s a player, too — checkers, that ' s it ! And Glass, he ' s a jockey ! He straddles 91 law books and thinks they ' 11 carry him to the town of Fortune. It reminds me of the days when yon and 1 used to ride hobby horses. I rode a two-minute clip one day for fourteen hours and couldn ' t get out of my grandmother ' s sitting-room. Knip is some- thing like this, excepting that Glass will do other things, while Knip sits and talks about them. By the way, have McNeil and MacPheeters and Volnay Brown sent you up a Y. M. C. A. card vet, asking vou where you intend to go if you ever do get away from the University? Why, George! I ' m really ashamed of you! You don ' t mean to say you ' re going to — oh, yes ! I misunder- stood you — going to East Lexington to see the boatrace ! I thought you were speaking of eternities. You know Mark Tw ain says, when I reflect upon many of my friends who are going to heaven I am persuaded to live a different life ! Supposing you could twist your neck, George; just across the valley at a point nor ' west from your coat tail is the athletic field where last April the ' . ' M. I. — enough? Well, I m sorry I ' ve hurt vour feel ings! They were disastrous figures, too — 16 to i ; same unlucky numbers that caused Dean Tucker to cry, I ' d rather ten thousand times, be t Washington and Lee than in Congress ! Like Patrick Henrv he got in these words just in time to make him a martyr. I ' ve forgotten what President Wilson said now, but he had something to say on the same subject at about the same time. You can ' t see the hops and germans and final balls over in the gym, can you George? You are missing one of the events of vour life — you ought to see Jeff Davis dance ! And when the windows are open and the summer breezes are playing around your insteps did you ever hear a sweet, melodious voice, like the chanting of the angels, come floating out on the dewv air? It is Mr. Frierson, of Alabama, singing over at Graham ' s ! Yes, George ! I heard Sam Frierson sing last night ! I heard him sing and play. I heard him do these things because — I couldn ' t get away. Of course you know Goshorn of ' est ' irginia. He passes your lines often on his homeward strolls. Precarious hours? Hush ! 92 I was merely going to refer to liis running for editorshi]) (jf The Southern Collegian. He didn ' t run fast enough ! What do you think of The Collegian the past year? Good? Of course it ' s been good! Petro Fisliburne has entliused it with his own good behavior and saintly conduct tlie past two years. Next year it ' s going to be full of Texas tales and ranch rhymes and Keeble Komicals, etc. He ' s an interesting, brilliant little chap — living down across from the student ' s friend. I imagine, George, that you see some very entertaining sights from your honored pedestal, but I wish you would put on a pair of roller skates late some evening, when the edging and jostling multitudes on the crowded thoroughfares of Lexington are slum- leering peacefully in their own boudoirs, and take a roll down the historic city while we look over the town together. There are a number of things I would like to have you see that are now- hidden from your view. I should like to introduce you to Bob Alexander and to take you to the Baptist Church ; I should like to take you to the post-office and have you watch them put up the mail (that is if we had time enough): and, really, 1 d like to have you break your wooden leg, just for experience, so that you could appreciate the deep, kind souls of the physicians who, George, have special rates to students ! And I would like to give you one quick glance at the fair-faced and sandy-haired Demosthenes who closes out his bargains in ninety-eight-cent trousers imported from Paree to the eager followers of French fashions on Court- House Square. Fear vou might be followed by the police and shot down in your tracks as a run-away cigar sign? Oh, George, you are dis- playing your ignorance ! You do not know Lexington or such an absurd remark would never have passed your lips. Police. George, are respectable men ! They are honorable and home-like ; they shrink at the very thought of the dark, evil streets at dis- reputable hours, and much prefer the warm, cheerful fireside of a friend ' s hospitality than the sinful and wicked dissipation of the midnight. Sir! You misjudge and do an injustice to our sturdy and manly representatives of the law ! They are not the strolling vagrants of the night that you accuse them of being. I rise to their 93 defense and nnder sworn statement declare that in all my long life in Lexington I have not once, not once, sir, met an officer of justice outside of a quiet home after sundown ! And the prosecuting attorney? He won ' t harm you! ' rite and ask Foster! And then he ' s going to Congress, he and Editor Barclay of the Gaccffc. It hasn ' t been decided which will go first or whether they will sit in the gallery or on the floor. But they ' re going ! No, George, we don ' t sell liquids in Lexington. It ' s a model town ; we haven ' t any saloons : rum shops all closed up ; tempta- tions are all withdrawn from the }Outh ; haven ' t you ever noticed the ministerial expression of righteousness on Hairston ' s face? Since April we have had — Nothing to do but work, Nothing to eat but food, [_ Nothing to wear but clothes To keep us from going nude. Nothing to breathe but air — Quick as a flash ' tis gone — Nowhere to fall but off. Nowhere to stand but on. Nothing to sing but songs, Ah, well, alas! alack! Nowhere to go but out. Nowhere to come but back. George, in a few days, we are going to dedicate Randolph Tucker Memorial Hall, one of the most magnificently and thor- oughly equipped law buildings in an American university. Washington and Lee is to add one more laurel to its many achieve- ments and the college that has known a Lee, and whom to-day is intrusted with the remains of one of the greatest generals and noblest of men that the world has ever known ; and a college almost within the shadows of which a Jackson lies sleeping; and the uni- versitv which has been the alma mater of the strongest and truest 94 and sturdiest of manliodd, is to close anotlier nienioral)le year in niemoriani lo a former dean, a lawyer, a statesman, a cli])l( Jinat. and, above all, a loyal Virginian ! And now, George, old friend, 1 mnst leave yon and my reveries.

The Jonkheeren urged on the conflict Quiet, and peace, and prayer; At Eaad Huis, the place where they sat; He prays unto thee that he only may be Narrow, contracted, fanatic The man with a hoe over there. The Boer is a man for all that. The Transvaal ' s his garden of Eden, The Boer is a rustic— a Teuton ; Oom Paul is his father and guide ; He comes from an iron-bound race ; He ' 11 flght for the right and he ' 11 die for the right. The Boer is a man, and a God-fearing man. For he knows that the right ' s on his side. With right staring wrong in the face. He ' 11 fight like the demons, the demons of hell. For the home that he loves and he owns ; The bullets will roar thro ' laager and moor. And the dying re-echo the moans. Give me liberty or I die ! The Anglo words ring ' round the world ; And he prays to his God as he lies on the sod For the flag of his freedom unfurled. His life is placed on an altar of flre, A sacrifice great for a cause — He HI die like a slave, but not live like a slave To a set of English-made laws. His blood is the blood of the Teuton — Old Holland ' s blood flows in his veins ; A blood that is red, and fights ' til the dead Lie bleeding in trenches and lanes. — Fkancis Tkevelyan Miller. 96 A Product of Society.

It surges and throngs in wondrous ways, It tauntingly jests— with my spirit plays, It rushes and leaps through all my days— This spirit of Happiness. A beaming, flashing, burst of light, That thrills my soul with radiance bright, This dancing, prancing, winsome, sprite. This spirit of Happiness. Winding and binding my heart in tight, With shimmering bands of pure delight That can ' t be broken by any might — This spirit of Happiness. It holds over care a constant sway. It laughs and taunts dull pain awaj ' , It cunningly steals in my heart to stay — This spirit of Happiness. And in spite of all trouble and doubt and care, Though my hopes be shattered and my dreams so fair. Yet still from my heart they can not tear This spirit of Happiness. G. W. 103 The Misogynist. The commandments he knew from his youth, and such As he liked, he obeyed, — not much Of a saint was he. Thou Shalt not steal, and thou shalt not kill, AVhich require no unusual effort of will, He did— did he. Thou shal t love thine enemy, — love and adore ; Treat him right and resent no slight, was more Than he could — could he. Thou shalt love the Lord— the commandment great. Whose doing brings Heaven — not doing, sad fate ; He never, not he. Thou shalt love thy neighbor, the commandment second : Of it never thought, of it never reckoned — Not he, not he. Till she came— yes, she came— but her name To mention it here were a sacrilege — shame. Not we, not we. In obeying that one, now listen, my son. And hear of the sorrows and woes he has won. Yes, he won, yes, he won. 104 In the list of tlie breakas e, I iniglit mention to you Some things for which he could hardly now sue. That is true, that is true. One heart— all lie had— yet that hardly seems sad When we think, for the women ' t is now quite the fad- Not so sad, not so sad. Some dreams which he had while still but a lad— But let ' s pass that by with never a sigh ; ' t is the fad, Quite a fad, quite a fad. Some sev ' ral ideals, which, when womankind steals Brings a pang of regret one inevitably feels. Yes, one feels, yes, one feels. But what ' s that to her — there are others to win, And to lose such a chance were a sin, mortal sin. Such a sin, such a sin ! To conclude this brief line but one cause I ' 11 assign, Which makes her work out her own hateful design. Her design, her design. ' T is nought but the meanness inherent in man Which makes us wound others whenever we can. When we can. 105 imiiJA 1 rom my tent of faded canvas Up among the clouds alone, Nature lulls m roseate fancy As she calls me to her own ; La ' Is me to her breast to nurtuie From the sweet spring of content, Calls me as the shadows darken O ' er the orld on pleasure bent. In the hazy, misty di-tance I.ike some ghostly ships at sea, ■Mountain langes— rocks of ages— I ift their heads, O Ood, to Thee ; nd within their inmost caverns springs a tiny, silver stream, ' 1 liat flows outward, ever onward. In the sunlight ' s mellow gleam. In the western sky of freedom, Heaven ' s glorious light of gold, Sinking slowly, ever lowly Tempts the stars to leave their fold ; Fold of deepest blue and crimson Listless, blood-red clouds bedeck As the jewelled constellation Heaven ' s panorama fleck. Steathily the twilight gathers Heralderof darker night ; Craftily the moonbeams scurry — Brilliant diamond rays of light. Till the trees themselves seem livid With the heavenly fiery hue Whilst the fevered earth is sleeping Sweetly in the gathering dew. Zeta Chapter of Sigma Chi. KslAlU.lSII Kll, iHiji;. In Collegio.

Its founders were John D. Paxton, president; Nel Wilson, vice- president; Joseph A. Prown, secretary; Randolph Ross, William C. Preston, John D. Brown, Gustavus R. Jones. Edward C. Carring- ton, and John P. Wilson. Out of this number several afterwards became very distinguished in the council halls of the state and nation. Thus was foreshadowed the great work that the Graham- Lee was destined to do. The records of the society w ' ere destroyed by Hunter ' s troops during the war, but are complete from that date on. Since 1867, the society has l een giving a debater ' s medal. A declaimer ' s medal was given from 1871 to 1896, when it was changed to an orator ' s medal. The first debater ' s medal was won by Givens Brown Strickler, who was captain of the College company during the latter part of the war and is now Rector of the University. Sev- eral years later it was won by Henry St. George Tucker, who rep- resented the Tenth Virginia District for many years in the national House of Representatives and is now Dean of the Law Faculty.

( 4 NFORTUNATELY the early records of the Wash- M--M ington Society are lost, the only authentic information ■ l fl of its youthful history being the date of its foundation, i i v 1812, three years later than its sister society. In 1867, the members began to hold annual contests among themselves for the best oration, and in 1871 declamations were introduced into the contests, but were only continued for eight years and the orators were given full swing until so much excite- ment and dissension 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 1885, the society again took up its individual contests but changed the celebration from commencement to Washington ' s birthday, and the medals are awarded by the society. For the first five ears of this new regime, medals were only given to debaters, l)ut in iSyo a declaimer ' s medal was added and c ontinued until i8y8 when an orator ' s medal was substituted. 150 Washington Society.

They should be controlled and kept all hv themselves for they do much harm to the world at larjje.. They can not harm themselves for they are beyond harm and come under the special care department that Providence has provided for fools and drunkards. When a person gets to be too much of a jackass he is sent to one of the various asylums provided by the several states to receive them. There is such a corral for jackasses in Staunton. There are several jackasses in Washington and Lee Universitv. 169 The Bull. The bull is an animal raised in all the various departments of arts, sciences, and professions in Washington and Lee University. He is as plentiful as there are departments, has no occupation in particular, and is of no practical use at all except that he is always pulled ' b the man wlio has the lowest mark at the end of the month. Thus, if a man stands four in Junior Spanish he is said to pull the bull. This is also true if his report reads as follows : NAMK NO. IN CLASS STAND IN CLASS 1 ' AHSENCES REMARKS Jones 21 j 21 14 17 Mostly Com- plimentary 170 The Bird. The bird is a high flier. It moves in the higliest circles of society but sometimes descends to the lower. The bird does everv- tliiiiiL; ' . Dresses well, smokes cigarettes, cuts classes, dances, visits all the ■■ calic, ])lays |)ool and billiards, fights dogs, niggers and anything else that comes along, carries a cane and is generalh ' adored by the younger and more susceptible of the bovs in College. This particular species of animal is not very popular with the Fac- ulty and is generally consigned to a state called probation soon after his arrival in Lexington. 171 The Pony. The ponv is bred principally by Arthur Hinds Co., of New York. Henrv G. Bohn. of Covent Garden, London, also raises a sj ecial breed called ' irgilius. Ponies are of two kinds, the Handy Literal and the interlinear — the latter has especially smooth paces and is very easy riding. It is particularly adapted for beginners, but many a proud Junior and dignified Senior has ridden ponies of both spe cies through particularly difficult passes. The Bug. The bug ' is of various varieties and tlourislies in most of tlu ' collesjes of the country. In all but W ' asbin. ton and Lee it is called the fraternity. The buj:; is somethinj; ' that makes one feel badly if he doesn ' t get in it. .Sometimes a man is looking for a bug and don ' t get it ; then he says that the whole fraternity system is rotten and tries to stamp it out of the State institutions when he goes to the legislature. The night a bug stretches out its talons and catches a man, the whole push adjourns to Johnny LaRowe ' s or Squire ' s and eats oysters at the victim ' s expense. He generally handles his anatomy with great care for several days thereafter. 173 The Goat. The goat is a most timorous beast and thrives wherever the ' ■ bugs are found. He most generally makes his appearance in the earfy fall but may crop out from time to time all during the session. He always receives quite an ovation on his appearance, and is hailed with bedslats, a blindfold, and constant orders to step high. Then the goat ' s voice is tried, his agility in climbing trees is tested, in fact he is put through all his paces. After that he is decorated with the badge of the particular flock with which he has allied himself and the whole push adjourns to Squire ' s where oysters are served at the goat ' s expense. 174 The Sucker. Tlie sucker is very plentiful both here and away from here. He either knows nothings or thinks he knows it all. The f rst variety swallows every little bit of bait cast before him innocently and with an idea of investigation and generally in time learns better. The second variety swallows the bait because he thinks he knows what it is and by means of it can also devour the one casting it. N This kind never improves but goes on swallowing bait until the end of the chapter. Both varieties get rolled very often but, as there is some redemption for the first sort, I would advise all suckers in college to try and bring themselves under that head. Suckers are generally hunted and run to earth I)y sharks. 175 The Shark. The shark is a very ravenous fish and resembles the Hon in that he goes about the world seeking who he may devour. He generally looks harmless like a wolf in lamb ' s clothing but if you get into any game with him, pool, billiards, ten-pins, horse trading. gambling or other such pastimes you will find he is an adept at all, though he protests that it is the first time he has tried any. In fact, you will find he is a shark. Somehow collegiate atmosphere is not very good for his sharklets and their lives are very short in Wash- mgton and Lee. 176 CONTENTS.

You have not only done amazingly correct printing, but have actually corrected several errors of ours. I have had printing done in I.eipsig, Paris. Lon- don. Boston (Oinn ' s). New York (Harpers ' ), Baltimore, and many less significant places, but I have never be- fore been so completely free from trouble growing out of errors of the printers and proof-readers. Sincerely your. , Milton W. Humphreys. When we quote a price for a job of printing, it is for doing it ' our way ' ' ' Stone ' s way, Our style is imitated by the printers of all this section, but it is difficult to imitate our style on an original order, without the same facilities, the same schooled employes, the large stock of papers, card-boards, and the same ' ' moving spirit.
