Under the entirely accepted rule That the place to learn to be less of a fool AVas a college with its great knowledge pool Flowing eternally. The boy got to school and his books he bought. Even as you and I. This man ' s lines and that man ' s thought — He thought then he had some wisdom caught. But the fool found out that it was all for naught But egotistic vanity. The boy learned how to smoke and drink. Neither as you nor L His friends were pleasant, but from books he ' d shrink And never once did he stop to think That bottles and cards are the connecting links Between fools and depravity. The boy stayed there for one short year Neither as you nor I. He had learned to boast and coax and swear. He sent his mind and soul to where The smiles are drowned with a tempter ' s snare — To dark Eternitv. H. C. T. The Freshmen Should you ask nie whence these Freshmen, Whence this tribe of boasting buclcs. With the odors of tlie forest, Hair slick ' d down with oil of bear grease, With the airs of some great chieftain. And the flush of oid chief ' s money. With their thousand repetitions. And the various definitions. Of their great and mighty missions? I should answer, I should tell you, ' From the region of the cornfield. From the swamps along the river. Where my dad is grand and mighty, ' And ■ I ' m worshiped b - the squaws. ' Where I eat fat meat in hunger, ' And ■ the squaws are somewhat younger Than t ' ne ones that you have here. ' Should you ask where Grand Chief Miki Found these wonderful embryos. Of these most stupendous follies? I should answer, I s ' nould tell you, ' In the lodge ' nis letters enter, With their suave, ' you only ' manner, In the tribes where lesser chieftains Gather these young bucks together. Send them fighting up the vallej ' . Till they reach the Great Chief ' s village. If still further you should ask me, Saying, AMio is Grand Chief iliki? ' Tell us of this Grand Chief Miki. I should answer straight your question, ' In the great wgwani called Xewcomb, At the inner lodge you knock ; When vou enter there vou ' ll find him AVith his hierogtyphic pad, With his feet upon a basket And a-scratching there like mad. He ' s a kindly chief, this Miki, Though at times he swngs his hatchet, Screaming out the warrior ' s wrath. He, the Chief, the Mighty Miki, Calls at times the Freshmen to him, Calls and they obey his mandate Or the tribe will lose a savage. Then they stand in awe before him, Pleading that their time of lodging Be extended with his people. And the scalps they ' ll swing Ijeside them i be proof of their devotion. Thus the Fres ' nmen gather yearly At the Mighty Cliief ' s command; Gather to the great Svengali, Great S ' engaH, Mighty Wise Man. And the scjuaws of many wigwams Sorely taxed are in the mornings To arouse the sleeping heroes While they keep the smoking steak. And the leaders of the war-path Paw the earth at frequent times Just because the Ijucks are missing. Splashing in the nearest pool. So it is the Freshmen gatlier. And if there is more you ' d know, Ask these mighty men, they ' ll tell j ' ou. For if scalps they cannot show. They will tell you of the many They have carved so long ago. E. M. M.

Junior Class History To THE PEOPLE OP THE (iOOD OLD TOWN OF LEXINGTON AND ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, Greeting: We are with you to remain one year more — longer at the discretion of the faculty — awakening you by a mighty ringing of the old college l)ell and the hideous howlings of the Naughty-six. As the college annalist has chronicled, we met early in the fall of 1902 for the first time, and with characteristic magnanimity decided to present Old George with a coat of red, which resolution was speedily carried out. We soon waked up to the fact, however, that there were others who would dispute with us the right of this honor. The Sophs would ha e him don a mantle of blue. Trouble followed. Friends of the day before became sworn enemies. Battle ensued in which Old George ' s coat was sadly disfigured bj the eager contestants. The ' 06 acrobat, Flournoy, gained wide renown by his tumbling stunts in which heights, roofs and the laws of gravitation were left out of account. Ultimately a truce was proclaimed, and later a compromise effected by the terms of which Old George was to wear a harmonious (?) coat of red and blue. The gallant deeds of the valiant defenders and sturdy assailants of this Battle of the Roofs, make livid the college traditions. Three distinguished arrivals of the fall of 1902 failed to participate in the Battle of the Roofs. These were the two most excellent worthy vassals of Lord Baltimore, Drs. Kern and Latane and the grand privy counselor of Sir William Penn, Hon. Jos. R. Long. These splendid gentlemen in spite of their failure — to take part in the battle we have described — h ave, by reason of their commissions gained unpre- cedented authority over the other arrivals of that year; an authority which has proven unyielding to this day. In the stirring events of the following fall ' 06 maintained unsullied her well- earned prestige. Since then she has contented herself with imbibing with marked readiness the secret of successful, loafing, cutting, boning and all the favorite college stunts. Fate has strangely decreed that some who were once of our number should leave mth the Class of ' 05. The same fate, however, has more than replenished our ranks with others who, for reasons which we dare not enumerate, are now of oiu ' number. Once more a united class we drive on toward our Senior year with pride in the past and large hopes for the future. To the Class of 1905 But once we pass along the way Between the Whence and Whither, And only once we spend each day As on we hasten hither. At dawn of life the day seems long, But when the noon is fleeting, And youth and age have lent their song, Then comes the twilight greeting. From out the halls of science bent Upon ambitious measure. In youth we come as legates sent To open worlds of treasure. Our hearts are young and fresh and brave, And life seems newly given To youths whose hearts so fondly crave A place beyond the driven. But when we near the closing span, Where mem ' ries stream is flowing, W e linger, each a mellowed man. In dreams of brightest glowing. If then but once we pass this way. In search of God and Heaven, Let youth be rife each living day Of crowning vears be leaven. E. M. M. John Laurence Daniel, B.A. Hampden-Sidney College. Farmville. Virginia. Candidate for M.A. Degree.

The Senior Academic Class This is the history of an aggregation. At a time very distant — four years distant — it came from the remotest corners of the Southland and gathered itself together where learning was poured forth as a steady stream. In the verdancy of its vouth it came, and the greenness of it shimmered and shone from its very countenance and was read of all men. In the course of the first year of its tarrying it saw many things new and strange, and it marveled. And when that year was gone, lo! it was sophisticated. Xow, its sophistication was removed from its pristine verdancy as is day from night, and the things which aforetime seemed marvelous were as nothing in its eves. It vaunted itself duly, for had it not drunk of the stream of knowledge? So the second year passed, and the third came, and the aggregation was earnest. And the earnestness of it far exceeded both the verdancy and the sophistica- tion of the former time. It boned and plugged, and plugged and boned, and the rays of the night lamp were a halo to its head. So passed the third year, and when the fourth came, behold! the aggregation was superior. Xow did the superiority of the fourth year far surpass the verdancy, the sophistication and the earnestness of the other three years. In the multitude of its bonings was assurance and it thought long and hard and made research, and there came forth a Thesis. So the year of superiority passed, and the last year came. Then did the aggregation look back over the years it had drunk of the stream of learning, and it looked forward to the years when it should be no longer an aggregation, and the superiority gave place to something greater than it had ever known, something that no year had brought and that only all the years could bring. The aggregation was humble. Petite and trim, with easy grace, A stroke or two wU just suffice To cut a graceful figure in Tlie glistening surface of the ice. And when the lads are on the lake, A turn or two will just suffice — We find that then her figure in The hearts of men is cutting ice. ■ i - ' The Evolution of the Three Brothers- Tom, Dick and Harry I. Four vears ago three brothers camped Beside the stream of knowledge. And now we find each represents A phase of life at college. II. To be a sport was Tom ' s desire. And this the storj- ' s sequel. — At calicoing. pool or cards Sir Thomas has no equal. III. But Dick we see ■s -ith hungiy zeal A store of lore amasses. — From Junior Math to Senior Greek He ' s leading all his classes. IV. ' ith equal zest did Harr - strive For Honor in Athletics. — He sends opponents hobbUng off Like crippled paralytics. The Inquisitive Freshman Dear Prof: For months I have been tumbhng over my unagination in a vain endeavor to solve the problem of the cud-che Aing ruminant, surnamed the cow. ' My sub- conscious ego has gone into a decline and my gray matter is taking the rest cure. Please help. In the first place why is the cow a cow and not a goat or a serpent or a lady- bug or a woodpecker? Answer me that! Why do all her legs stick out on the bottom of her anatomy and none on the top? Why is it that no matter how long or how short the legs are they are always just long enough to reach from her body to the ground and no longer? Why is it that the knees on the forelegs are before while the knees on the hind legs are behind? Is it because of a cognate meaning alone of the terms used, a harmonious association of the positions of the aforesaid personal property of the cow? In other words is it because it is nice and proper and pretty that the before legs should be before and the behind legs should be behind? Answer me that ! Then, again, why has the frolicsome beast two hookers just above two lookers? Why not two lookers above two hookers? Why two hookers at all? Why not one hooker? Why not more lookers? Why not alternate the hookers and lookers and vice versa? Answer me that ! Once morely, why has she only one fashion of wearing her tail? Why does she always wear it straight down as the Chinee does his queue? Why not pompadour it? Why not psyche-twist it? AVhy not Grecian roll it? Why not bang it? Why does she always wear her nose on the lower end of her face? Why not on the upper end? Why not in the middle? Answer me that! Anxiously. ENGINEERING scuHaa Engineering School Roll Arnold. G. S.

Thesis; Design of a System for Heating for Le-xington Pubhc Schools. The Engineering Department Doubtless all have observed the sunny smile that scatters itself over the phvsiognomy of the engineering student. The cause of his merriment is easily found. But twelve short months ago the school of engineering of W. L. U. was con- fined to the third floor of old Purgatory. Three weary flights of steps separated this attic home from the grateful shade of the campus, where the future scientists of the world so love to stretch their tired bodies and survey the passers-by. Here the B.S. student is wont to cogitate on his arduous climb, and as the l ell calls him to mount, he consoles himself, as he cuts the class, with the slightly confused but humble thought Enough for me in dreams to see And touch the building ' s base; M} ' feet and limbs so weary be I cannot reach the higher place. As he ponders these things in his heart and realizes the injustice of hiding such an important department away in a loft where the sulphurous fumes come gently from below, and the beat of the Stygian waves make sweet repose impossible, his mind grows dark with the wrong thereof and his soul is sore within him. It is then that the light of a new day begins to break upon him. For he learns that a generous friend in the Far West has given to the Univer- sity an Engineering Hall. But hastening on, consider these twelve months as passed, and in the present stand with us and behold the beautiful structure that stands so proud with its face to the north. This, oh, reader! is the cause of the sunny smile. Here is a pile so stately and good that the smile must come to the one that calls it home. As you enter this mansion of the engineers be not surprised if music and many voices raised in song fall upon your ear, for the Y. M. C. A. have lodgings here and now run opposition to the electric tuning-forks that give forth their ceaseless song on the second floor. Here we are afraid of monopolies and monopoly prices, so in another room we find a students ' cooperative book store engaged with the powers that be. The only objection to their charitable purpose is that all business must be strictlv cash. Now when we have a willing Old ] Ian at home it seems a pity not to he ahlc to cliai-jic all hooks to liiiii! Due to liiis fad we yet love lo do business with the old lii ' ni of W. ( ' . Stuart cV; Friends, who jiiadl - sends the little hills to loved ones fai ' away. The chilled north win ls of winter ha e no teri ' oi ' s for us here. Our honoi-ed hoard — lonsi have tliey wa ' ed! — saw ht to estahlish a j;lorious healiii,ii ' system. . s some youth of tender years exj)ressed it: Why, it throws hot water all oxer everything, and in a sense that seems (juite true. On the first floor of our new structure we find our uiucli heloveil Sir Davy. To him be the honor of completing and furnishing this attractive hall. Seldom do we find in the Professor ' s chair one such as he. The gods have been good to him above the ordinary. While the paths over which lie leads the way are often difficult and steep, the journey is made less arduous by the knowledge that Old Davy is always there. In going to the second aiid third floors you have your choice of two means of ascent. In other words we have here an elevator. If you have all day at your disposal, take the elevator and get some good wholesome exercise. That will excuse you from Gym in the afternoon. This elevator was put in with a view to physical culture. It is a very depressing elevator, and if you can once get it to the top of the shaft and load it heavily, it descends with such ra])idity as to suggest sea- sickness. It is used by the Profs, as an illustration of lost motion in ascent; of least work in descent. So you see we have here a valuable piece of apparatus. Put cotton in your ears as you ]5ass the second floor, for the tuning-forks at this close range may injure your hearing. This is the sphere of mystic wonders. where physical phenomena make the youth to know what a strange peculiar ball this okl world is. Here even ([uestions of the infernal regions are discussed, as Sisyphus and his spherical stone. Taking the stairway yet again we come upon the work-room of the dignified Senior engineers. Peeping in upon them we find them with coats off ready to be hard at work when the instructor ' s step is heard on the stairway. See them leaning with elbows on the window-sills. Their eyes have that far-away look drinking in the beauties of the western hills and the mist-covered Alleghanies. From their ])ipes curls the smoke that like the lotus leaf paves the way to dream- land. In its white clouds they see nol)le structures designed by themselves and are receiving the congratulations of the admiring crowd. Suddenly the step is heard in the hall, the thread of the dream is broken, and in answer to the ciuestion. What doest thou? they answer, We are finding the maximum shear in the fourth panel. With these few remarks we leave you. reader, and see you not what force has made the ena-ineerino; student a Sunnv Jim?

Watson, John Alexander Star, ' a. Weinberg, Leo Frederick, Md. Junior Law Class History There is one cUsalnlity the members of the Junior Law Class labor under and that is, they are not human. Professor Staples thinks they are, but the Senior law men have a different opinion and it was impressed on us very early in the session. We were allowed to breathe merely because they were unable to secure a mortgage on the atmos- phere while all privileges other than paying our board and flunking were denied us. Ye imbibed the law, or part of it at least, on the subject of Torts along with he Seniors. Consequently our morals became very much debased, some members of the class falling so low that they read cases in the library as late as mid- night and then dragged their weary frames to their rooms where they sat up the remaining hours of the night reading the text so as to prevent an attack of heart failure should Professor Burks call on them to display their learning on the following day. This, as may be supposed, had its effect, for contrary to nature, a law student rec uires sleep and one member of the class, on being called on at the table at his ranch to thank the Lord for the prunes, without an error devoutly repeated the fourth section of the Statute of Frauds and the non-assignable duties of the master before his admiring friends could put on the brakes and wake him up. ] Iost of us, however, gathered a goodly part of our vast amount of knowledge by listening to the timid responses when Daddy asked Well, why? The terror these w ords inspire cannot be adequately described, but it maybe said that hearing one ' s death warrant read is like an invitation to a birthday party in comparison. Autumn crept by with a joyous lack of water to bathe in, for Stern is in college this year and there is not enough of it to go around, and those who prefer chasers had to drink it straight and those hardy souls who can drink it straight did not get their deserved credit for so doing. During those intervals at night when Thomas Edison over in the laboratory was not experimenting with the lights, we tried to reconcile the text with Professor Burks ' statement that The Law is Common Sense. Just as we were thinking of how many Christmas presents we would get and which girl it was best to fall out with in order to cut down expenses and keep the Student ' s Friend out of the Funny House, examinations crept up and jumped on us and the class went home to recuperate. 46 We found our way back to Lexington which, by the way, is (|uit( ' a feat, though some remained in transit so long that tracers had to be sent out after them and we enjoyed the mild (per catalogue) Lexington winter beguiling our spare moments with the delightful subject of Real Property. Law is an awful easy study — to stay ignorant of. Then came spring, gentle spring when, according to all authority and precedent, a young man ' s fancy should lightly turn to thoughts of love, Init our attention was kindly invited to the subject of Negotiable Instruments and several other subjects of like tenor and date, one being Insurance or How to Start the Fire. Then came June examinations with nervous prostration a close second, and the race is run and our Junior year is over. Thus far we have been very careful and have broken no records, in one direction at least, and Daniel Weljster ' s reputation is safe for another year. It may be stated, however, in order to gratify an expectant public that Mayer intends to make a specialty of Burglar -, in his law practice, of course, and Darnall will practice law in all its branches and do a little dentistrj and horse- shoeing as a side issue. Some people can be happy anywhere even in a Junior Law Class, but next year we will study Pleading and then Daddy will love us and we ' ll all be happy. S 2 U History of the Senior Law Class It is neither my purpose nor desire to go into a detailed account of all the things which may have happened during the individual lives of the members of this most illustrious class, for a good many of them are already too well known, but simply to take up the l)rief space allowed in this, the greatest and most appre- ciated of all books, Code of Mrginia excepted, in relating the happenings of our class since we met here in the fall of 1903. We had often heard of the historic town of Lexington, but never dreamed of what a beautiful and picturesque place we were coming to. We were met in the city of Glasgow by the fast-running Virginia Creeper, which bore us in something less than five hours to Lexington, a distance of about twenty miles, wdiere we were dumped on the platform amongst a crowd of eager politicians. We soon fovmd that the final ball president was to be elected in a few days, and after promising oiu- vote to both Goat and Fatty some three or four times each, we at last got settled down and prepared to enter upon our college work. How well do we remember the first day we wended our way to Tucker Hall on the morning of the tenth of September, and what our feelings were when we saw the words written above the entrance to the aforesaid Tucker Hall, Leave hope behind, all ye who enter here. Having now gotten our bearings we became catus ho)uintim and set out on the course indicated by our compass, first to be introduced to the law by Professor Long. Then we made contracts with and without consideration, sealed and unsealed, and not a few of them proved to be void when the papers were examined. We then pushed forward to conciuer lands, to hold estates in fee simple, or for a term of years and some of us only got contingent remainders; to add to our misery we took up the torts and crimes of a wicked world and made an assault on one Clark; and, after much abuse, the aforesaid Clark brought us before a most competent tribunal on a charge of malicious interference with the law and pre- sumed ignorance of the same. To this charge some failed to plead and judgment nil elicit was rendered; there being no cause for complaint against the others a ver- dict of acquittal was rendered and they went on their way rejoicing. The Judge, in delivering his opinion, cited MacCorkle vs. Stokes, 20 March, 68-72; Poage vs. Alexander, 22 December, 67-75; Cave vs. Duncan. 5 April. 72-76; Wilson vs. 49 Tillman, 13 December, 74-76. After taking notes on these cases for future use we turned to see written there on the board old 299 for exam. We then became agents for one of those soulless beings, a corporation. Being treated by this legal entity, to a few shares of watered stock, for which we learned we would be afterwards accountable, we left it, and traveled as couriers without luggage to a land I have forgotten the name of, but the Professor said take for the next lecture, the Code of Virginia, first two volumes of Minor ' s Inst, and what is said by Blackstone, Chitty and Kent on the subject. Now we are not public carriers, or private carriers though we may be common carriers, but how to carrj this vast amount of knowledge through to examinations without being allowed to make any limitations as to liability seems indeed hard, but we are told that we have contracted to do so and it must be done. Equity next came on, but as Equity looks upon that as done which ought to be done we came out ahead this time and ready to stand trial whether the issue was single or double, certain or uncertain, material or immaterial. And now it is hoped that as soon as the Evidence is all in and the argument of counsel is heard, the court will see fit to grant a decree in favor of the parties plaintiff, and that in accordance therewith B.L. degrees will be duly executed by the proper authorities to each of the said parties plaintiff.

Father and brothers near, Mother and sister dear, Wife and children sweet, E ' er my lips to greet — My paradise was this. That lips were mine to kiss. Father and mother gone To God ' s eternal throne; Sister and brothers, too, No longer greet my A ' iew; From childhood ' s home I miss The lips I used to kiss. Wise wife, I loved so well. Has gone above to dwell Whh children five that sing ' The peans of the King; And so I sadly miss Those lips I used to kiss. Three sons I proudly o n, l ut they from home have gone; . nd daughters that I prize Are miles from these dim eyes; Alone I sit and miss These lips I used to kiss. Some day we ' ll all get home, No more apart to roam ; And heaven will more than cheer The griefs that lalight us here; For there we ' ll never miss The lips we used to kiss. DUNLORA.

VG INE ET i NCv — - p STl VGT O J A Dream The F. F. V. of the C. O. was bearing me out of Cincinnati on one of those handsome yellow trains enroute to Washington and New York. Lower 16 is read} ' , sir, ' ' interrupted the fond memories that were flowing through my mind of the days when I was a student at Washington and Lee and came this same old way so often. I was soon in my berth and asleep. And as I slept I dreamed, and this is what I dreamed : All out for Lexington! Change cars for Lynchburg, Buena Vista, Roanoke, Natural Bridge, all points on the N. W. and Southern! I had forgotten that Lexington was now on the main line of the C. O. But, as I am here, I think I will take a day off and see the old place and friends. Great Guns! A union depot? By the Butless Billy Goats, I thought that I had been keeping up with the old place! The jangling of bells and the noise put a stop to my ejaculations. So I hurried out into the depot. Carriage, sir? Cab? Automobile to the Hotel Lexington? Palace Hotel, sir? Boom Heights? Best hotel in the city, overlooks the L ' niversity Place, only two minutes in the auto, sir? I was amazed. Is this Lexington? I asked. Yes, sir; never here before? answered the swell porter of the Lexing- ton Hotel. Let me take you up? Oldest hotel in the city, sir. I entered the automobile and we were off up the beautiful granolithic street, past street cars, autos, bustling trucks, and along the curb where handsome men and beautiful women were walking. By Gum, beats Lexington, Ky., or Nashville, Tenn., for its beauties. But I thought about the time I left here that the town would put off the old maid habit, for the little girls were teeming then. I recognized the old White home, standing back from the avenue, the only thing that looked like it used to. The Rockbridge Hotel had given place to a handsome four-story stone building, the home of the Eagles. The rest of the way was a maze of business blocks. The Lexington Hotel was the same old building but the interior was palatial. Mr. Brockenbrough, you do not remember me, I suppose? I asked the old gray-haired proprietor, when I had called him out of his office. No — let ' s see — my memory is not good, never was, and he lit his cigarette. Your face is familiar. Don ' t you remember X ? 0, yes, graduated in — what year? I ' ve forgotten. Well, you are my guest, Mr. X . I get to see so few of the old men that I want to talk over old times. Thank you, Mr. Brockenbrough, I said as we went into his splendid office and sat down, but tell me what has happened to the old town. I thought it was as dead as Hec when I left here. Who is responsible for all this? President Denny of the I ' niversity and our famous board of health. President Denny calculated that he had to get famous and to do that he would have to make the University famous. The board of health ileciJcd that to afcanati ' when snialli)()x was in Baltimore ami (|uai ' an- tine when it got to Washington, and to distill the. water supply of the mountain springs before it ran into the reservoir, was the way to make the town famous for its health and bring the ])est class of ]ieople here. Oh, the city is in the best of shape now. (iuess yon hardly know it. Business is fine. You knew Gra- ham and Dcaver. ditln ' t you? ' ll, they are in that fifteen-story building across the street. Hack together again: couldn ' t stay a]iart: two of a kind. They have got Spaulding lieat now. hike their own goods. The University of Virginia and all the Southern and Western universities buy from them. Pay for it, too. Population? The last census gives us about 130,000. Good management now, too. (iet water all the time. H. O. ' . ' Why, did you ne ( ' r hear about poor old H. O.? ell. he sent off a pi])e for a student to get a case made for it antl the pipe got lost. The student sued H. 0. for S2. 00 and got it. The blow nearly killed him. It was the hrst time he had ever been beaten by a student. From that time he didn ' t do any good; lost all heart in his business, and now the poor fellow is on the charity of the city. By the wa ' , there is a baseball game out at the Liberty Hall Field this afternoon — W. and I . vs. Cornell. We will go out. ' ' We took the Boom Heights and Libertj Hall car that afternoon to the game. As the car rounded the hill 1 took in a survey of the University. The exten- sion had l een made towards the Liberty Hall Field — fifteen buildings, mostly experimental stations and observatories. One of the Profs, was living at Mulberry- Park. At the game I noticed a stooped creature, wearing glasses, on the bleachers above me. who seemed strikingly familiar. I made for him and sure enough it was the old •■ Wash ' critic, and now head Prof, of French Literature and Language. We all but embraced. He at once proceeded to tell me a joke. After the game we walked Vjack through the University avenues. The old. athletic field was now a jDrett}- mall and in the center stood a dejected statue, a football man weeping over his defeat, and it was inscribed To old athletics and the support they used to get. The hill beyond the R. R. was occupied by the Chemical Laboratories, the Seminary and the Schools of Medicine and Journalism. A beautiful array of ter- races filled the slope to the old buildings, and a master work of old Davy ' s, a sus- pension bridge, spanned the ravine. The Wilson Building, Society Halls and Y. L C. A. Building stood around the old buildings. The most beautiful of all was the Executive Building where were the President ' s offices and the secretaries and stenographers. The Prof, told me all about the old place. You remem- ber the Blue Hotel? Well, it is the home of the Head .Janitor now. The dormi- tories are all plastered with concrete and there are no more notices about not reading papers in the reception hall or eating candy or smoking cubebs. Old Thackston is Superintendent of the Dormitories. He has a good thing. He lives where Old Mike used to live. But we do not call him Old Mike any more. He is the Eminent Educator, Dr. George H. Denny, Sometime Fellow in the Department of Latin Language and Literature. He is as superior to William Rainey Harper GO now as Harper was to other university builders years afio. He got his first l)ifi- endowment from Hettie Green after you left, and then the millionaires thoufiht that if Hettie Green was interested, there was something good in it, and, well, you sec the result. What became of Newcomb Hall? Oh, it is the Cheniical W ' arc- house now. Library? There — that granite Ijuilding south of the Mausoleum. The old faculty? Well, Dr. Quarles is still here, and younger than ever. Old Aleck, too, he don ' t ever expect to die. Sissy and .ludas have been in a scjuabble for fifteen years about which has the best marking system. The trouble was all caused by one of Judas ' pupils being so unkind as to tell him that Sissy said he had abetter marking system than Judas. One hundred and fifty-three members of the faculty now. Got one or two ' Piscopalians on the Board of Trustees, and — well, maybe that accounts for things. We were going up the marble hallway to the President ' s office. C-o-m-e ' in a thundering voice. Why, yes, I remember X . used to scare him to death in Senior Latin, sir? Sit down. Have a cigar? I am smoking six-centers now. Yes, the University is in splendid shape. We have a good endowment and little sums still come in. I have just openeil a letter with a little contribution of $1,000,000 to athletics. By the way, there is a meeting of the University Assembly to-night, and I want you to speak to the students. We have the assembly at night now, because we do not have classes till eleven o ' clock in the mornings. Can ' t get the students up. I spent the rest of the day walking through the University, and meeting the scattered few whom I had known in the old days. Sloan had a permanent office in the Y. M. C. A. building; L. C. Payne held the lucrative position of President of the L ' niversity Boating Department, with his home and office at the river; Hudson was Prof, of Syntactic Latin; Abe Staples, Jr., was a lecturer on the English Consti- tution; and poor old Toady I found confined to his room, a cripple for life owing to a severe fall which he had sustained years before while leaning on his broken stick. The Prof, told me that there was an endowment for the Calyx, Collegian and Ring- tum Phi, and in fact all the representations, so that now the students were never asked for money. I was at the magnificent I ' niversity Theater that night on time. The old Lee Chapel was used now for religious purposes only. After the opening exercises Mike, Jr., came forward from his seat on the ros- trum and stated that his distinguished father, who had been unavoidably detained, had requested him to announce the speaker of the evening, a distinguished alum- nus and one whom all would be delighted to hear. I rose before those thousands of enthusiastic stutlents to speak but stopped dumbfounded, for coming up the aisle to the faculty row was old Judas. He was late Clifton Forge, change cars for Lexington, Lynchburg and Richmond. Wake up, Boss; don ' t you go to Lexington? I turned over in my bertli awake. ■ Xo, but I wish I did.

A. at Washington and Lee The Young Men ' s Christian Association has been regularly incorporated with the world-wide movement in the colleges and universities since 1865. Its begin- nings may be traced back as far as 1835-36 to a small prayer circle which, by General Lee ' s aid, became in 1865 a properly organized branch of the Y. M. C. A. movement. The Association has grown steadily in efficiency and influence until to-day it is an essential feature of the student life at Washington and Lee. The progress of the past j ' ear is especially gratifying. With a membership of 150 the Association has been encouraged to attempt large things in the different departments of Christian work. The greatest effort has been placed on the Bible Study Department. Largely by systematic canvassing of the college 130 men have been led to engage in voluntary, devotional Bible Study. A new feature of this department is the organization of fraternity Bible classes in A ' I and J 6. Increasing interest in missions is also manifest. Three classes have been studying missions during the year. The Volunteer Band, composed of students whose purpose it is to become foreign missionaries, has grown from four at the open- ing of the session to nine. The Association also contributes about seventy-five dol- lars this year to the support of Mr. Hubbard, the foreign Y. M. C. A. Secretary in Havana, Cuba. Within the Association there has been organized a Ministerial Band com- posed of the twenty candidates for the Christian ministry from the different denomi- nations represented at the University. Regular meetings of the band are held every two weeks, to discuss subjects of special interest to ministerial students. The object of this organization is to strengthen its members in their common purpose; to promote personal piety, comradeship and sociability among its mem- bers; and to increase the number of candidates for the Christian ministry. The Young Men ' s Christian Association occupies a large place in the Univer- sity by virtue of that for which it stands. Its motto is Body, Mind and Spirit. For the cultivation of a strong physique the Association encourages and supports athletic sports; for the attainment of intellectual acumen the Association advocates diligent study; for the advancement of spiritual growth the Association furnishes devotional meetings, Bible and mission study classes and opportunity to do per- sonal work for our fellows. Furthermore, the Association promotes friendship, encourages college spirit and assists each individual student in taking a stand for the right. Our Fair Femininity I sing of woman — wliat a lovely theme — Of woman, fair as love ' s first dream, And charming as some nymph of mad delight; With eyes coquettish as the whispering stars of night, And daricer than deep waters ere the beam ' Oi passion strikes from out their depths a sparkling gleam That dances with bewitching, dazzUng shine. Save for its sheen of mockery, a glance divine, v hose liquid fire would make the rose of Sharon flush A. dee,:er tint than any caused l)y hearing music ' s throbbing gush. I sing of woman — ah ! what words can tell How potent is her smile ' s seducing spell! — With hair in which the shimmer of the sunbeam seems to hide Like the tints of softest satin robed around a beauteous bride; Ot with hair like Southern midnight on a silent ocean wave As the maiden moon arises with a lone star as her slave: With voice of Siren music, w liose voluptuous cadence sweet, Makes the heart of gay desire with a faster motion lieat; With a form whose grace the rustlings of her silken robes confess As they cling in folds of harmony with jealous, fond caress. I sing of woman — may my song Ije true — Of woman, pretty as Nirvana ' s view, In whose soft cheeks the crimson colors vie In amorous strife and, trembhng, die Within the close embrace of downj ' white — Ah, that I must use words so dull and trite! — Like tender blushes whose enamored hue Is stifled in the kisses of a snow drift fallen new. I sing of woman — heavens, what a lot is mine! — ( )f woman, so ethereal, divine — So far removed from trivial mundane joys That even silly chatter horrilily annoys: As spotlessly sequestered as a lily in repose, Or a dew-drop on a violet, or — Almighty only knows! With a heart so pure and delicate, so free from sinful guile — A lustrous angel of the skies is far more stained with wile Than is this charming piece of heavenly handicraft, More alluring to the senses than the choicest wine e ' er cjuaffed. I sing of woman — an impassioned song — (Jf woman, who though false, I ne ' er deem wrong In aught ; for when I fain would chide Her wild, bewild ' ring beauty steals inside My heart with love ' s enchantments bathed in heat, And duty, Heaven, all forgot, a chained captive at her feet I faU, and beg her not to send me far from hope ' s bright shore, By cruel words, to dark despair from which I can escape no more:— But though disaster wrecks my soul and clouds the blue of sky above One cheering thought remains to me, — the thought of woman and her love.

D. 1928 Gentlemen: For all who have known Dr. Sissy Le Fonte Steelpens, (and Fm sure most of you have known him), it is superfluous for me to trace his lineage, or to relate incidents which occurred in the remote antiquity of his youth, or to speak of his young manhood when he sounded the Apollo note in the church choir, or to make mention of his sojourn in Germany, his residence in Brooklyn or his stay in Troy. Nor will I take the time to dwell on the interesting subjects, his uncle, Le Fonte, and his bosom friend Rudolph Konig. All these things are known to those who knew him. We have had the pleasure of knowing both him and them, and the occasion being propitious, I wish to bring back to your minds some of the pleasant times we spent together in his company. Those were days, gentlemen, when our hearts beat for gladness and the good old Doctor gave us zirra without compunction just to show us that he approved of our high spirits. How often I long to be in that physical lecture hall at W. and L. and listen again to that soothing voice, vibrating at the rate of some 492.4 vibrations per second. You all remember how precise the Doctor was. He kept everything marked and labeled; apparatus, jokes, wearing apparel and all. One time he forgot to remove the label from his collar and cravat before leaving home, and I can see now the little blush that played over his genial countenance when some one in class reminded him of his oversight. Then he gave us the benefit of his little laugh and said that it was but an instance of his systematic habit — (which habit, by the way, had been foreseen in his early infancy and had been taken note of by his being called Sissy ). About the only thing I ever saw him fail to label was the temperature in his new lecture room which, at this time, was somewhat uncertain. Yes, he was very systematic, as Fve ulready said. His match-box had its place. His tuning-fork, (with which he calculated the intensity of various sounds from babies ' yells to ladies ' sneezes), was usually to be found in his right trousers ' pocket, and his pen, (with which he had written his love letters), silver pencil, (with which he gave us zirras ), rule and protracter; all had their places. 91 His glasses were always astride his nose just o.62 centimeters from the tip there- of. Even his jokt ' s hatl tlieir order and each was forthcoming at its appointed time: and how we tlid enjoy tliose chestnuts! My! lean taste ' em yet!! When I first came to college Dr. Steelpens was located in the wing between Purgatory and Main. One of his great ambitions was to get a new lecture room, fitted up according to his ultimate idea of equipment and he often longed to see the day when he should be installed in new ciuarters. Finally, a philan- thropic friend of the University donated a fund for building a science hall and when the Doctor learned that he was to occupy part of it, he jumped up and kicked his little feet together from sheer delight and his joy knew no bounds. He drew up the plans for his department with the greatest assiduity, and in his ardor was continually altering them and adding to them, the which delighted the hearts of the superintendent of construction and contractor greatly, as you remember. One day, after he had moved into his new apartments, he was showing me his combination blackboards and window shades — (the ones located at the top of the inclined floor as it happened). Suddenly his foot slipped on the waxed surface, and giving himself over to the law of gravitation, he slid dexterously down the incline with coat tails flying and landed on his movable lecture table in the midst of a lot of Boyle ' s law apparatus, Hawkes-Atwood machines and tuning-forks. Quite a medley of sounds resulted from the collision and I was much relieved to know that he had sustained no other injury than the breaking of his love-letter fountain pen. The next day I ran in on him unawares while he was putting up some lecture notes. I thought I noticed two new pieces of apparatus on his table and was just about to ask him what they were, when I discovered they were his shoes. He was making sure of a firm footing by walking in his sock feet! He was mighty proud of his new lecture room and especially of his maple-wood seats from Mitchigin. You remember how he used to threaten us — (and here we would always tremble sympathetically!) — with having to pay for any damage they might sufTer. and woe unto him who should be such a vandal as to scratch on one of the armplates his own name; or that of his Greek letter frater- nity or — (and here he couldn ' t restrain his smile) — that of his sweetheart. There was no other alternative in such a case, except to yank off the abused arm- plate, send on to litchigin for another and charge it up to the student. Those were great old times with Dr. Steelpens, and I can feel now that eager- ness which used to pervade my system just before one of his c{uizzes on Moments of Inertia, or some other ecjually interesting subject. How vividly I can bring before my mind ' s eye the bland countenance which greeted us as we entered the lecture hall and those cute little eyes peering at us from over the gold-rimmed spectacles. I can still hear his voice directing us to look at his printed regulations or calling our attention to some one of the illustri- ous physicists whose framed likenesses hung at regular intervals from the molding. The sensations then experienced were ecstatic ! You ' ve enjoyed those sensa- tions with me and I ' m sure it would deUght you to be seated again before the Doctor and Usten to his jokes and merrj ha-has and to imbibe the Laws of Fall- ing Bodies. Those were great times which are worth recalling and may the memory of them rest with you; likewise that of the guardian spirit of Science Hall, Dr. S. Le Fonte Steelpens. Broke! Broke! Broke! Broke, broke, broke, — I ' m as broke as the waves of the sea; I would I could fling in their clutches The bills that have come to me. O well for the millionaire sport, That he rides in his automobile! O well for the noveau riche That he eats his Waldorf meal. And the creditors still come on, And camp at my chamber door, But O for the sight of my vanished ' ' cush And the credit that is no more. Broke, broke, broke, — And I would they were all in the sea; But the day when my credit was good Will never come back to me. B. M.

I wish I were a look-out, A sea-ljreeze or bug-juice; I would like to be a color, ( )r a passion or a prize. I wish I were a shade-tree. An effort or a mill-race; I would like to be a danger. Or a tale that ' s often told. I wish I were a good-night , A dollar ' s worth and more, too; I would like to be an office. Or a service to be sold.

I trust you are too gracious to believe me unveracious When I sav in terms emphatic that I wasn ' t druiitc at all, Why, even Carrie Nation, in her circumnavigation, If she tried to walk as I did she would surely get a fall. I hope vour comprehension will not stand for circumvention When I tell you while I ' m sober that my steering-gear was ill; Of some indisposition both mv knees made acquisition, I concede they acted queerly when I started do Ti a hill. There ' s room for scepticism at a claim of rheumatism, But I hope there is no doubting of the truth of what I claim. I trust you are believing that my words are undeceiving. That my head was irresponsil.ile and not at all to blame. You ' re wrong in such conclusion and ' tis merely your delusion — I remember quite distinctly that I wasn ' t put to bed; ' Twas but exhilaration and excessive jubilation That was causing in the morning such a feeling in mv head.

An ' somethin ' less ' an ' alf o ' that inside, But ' costs you lots o ' plunks An ' several months o ' flunks To learn o ' all the secrets that they hide. They serve you leather meat Expectin ' you to eat. As if you ' ad the jaw-bone of a shark; The sausage that they ' ave Is fried in Armour salve, You almost ' ear the poor thing growl an ' hark The waffles are so white They ' d make a light at night. The Ijutterine is alwaA ' s on the run; An ' if you call for eggs Or pair o ' chicken legs You get your egg an ' chicken all in one. The muffins are as light As bloomin ' railroad spike, The goat they all politely term as lamb; An ' if j ' ou turn your ' ead To reach a piece o ' bread The cheese is makin ' faces at the ' am. The lady o ' the ' ouse Is smoother ' an a mouse. She wants to make you think you are a guest ; It ' s a privilege to you She grants to just a few. To let you pay your money with the rest. Oh the Ranch! Ranch! Ranch! A ' oly bloomin ' skin game is the Ranch! It ' s a privilege to you That ' s granted to but few To let you .spend your money in a Ranch! ' % A series of extracts from the notes of D. D. Hawkins, sometime reporter-in- chief to their Excellencies the Economics Students of 1904-05. Grubb: Ethnographic classes are — ha! ha! reminds me of a joke I once (Sudden cessation of work by all present; expectant looks and smiles prevail.) Thackston (sourly): There ' s nothing funnj ' in that. Grubb: A joke I once heard. A fellow found a dog on the lower floor of the main building and it came all the way upstairs and bolted into the library here; thej ' all thought Thackston: Certainly is funny — ha! ha! Tardy: What ' s the point? Hurrj ' up with it! Gnibb: Why it was consciousness of kind, of course (Tremendous whoop raised; I then looked up the point in Giddings ' Pure.) Daniel: Well, let ' s adjourn for to-night; that is, unless some one can think of a joke. 154 Shields: Excogitating .subconscious pseudosociological conceptions juridico- metaphysically contemplated, sublimated propaganda profusely emanate, intrin- sically volatile, extrinsico-derivatively ponderant Cox (wildly): Water! William Jennings Bryan is eclipsed! (He fell to the floor, but was soon revived by a timely glass, brought by MacDonald, the Irish Freshman.) MacDonald: I ' m looking for Bliss. Thackston: Go to heaven. (1 told Thackston that bliss could begotten other places, too, and everj body laughed; but I didn ' t wait to see what the joke was, as I was looking up Ward ' s Inductive in the card index.) Grubb: Daniel. I ' ll swap you two pounds of condensed Spencer for some Baldwin; I don ' t want much. Daniel: No use to work up Baldwin; just read Ward and ] Ioses ' Genesis and reconcile the statements. Thackston: Ha! ha! that ' s a joke. (I asked Thackston what the joke was, but he didn ' t seem to know.) Chafee: Where ' s my Stanwood? How in thunder can I write a thesis when I haven ' t got the Book! (I Avas making an outline of Stanwood, but I gave it to Chafee and went home.) (I was taking notes on those big green books Miss Annie gave us and was copy- ing a table of the sizes of families in Utah; the figures were so big that I went down to m} ' office to get more paper and met Semple. He came back upstairs with me.) Semple: Gee whiz! here ' s a gold nugget in the coal box. Let ' s take it in and show it to the fellows. I wonder if it ' s real gold. If Cox were here, he ' d know; he hates it so he ' d faint if he saw any. (We took it into the library and showed it to Boice.) Boice: Well, it looks like the real thing. Found it in the coal box? Gold does occur in coal sometimes. Let ' s test it for specific gravity. (I won- dered what he was going to do, but I didn ' t say anything. Boice got some water in a tin cup and then told us about it. He said if a rock sank in water it had specific gravity. We put the nugget in the tin cup and waited awhile. It sank.) Moomaw: Hawkins, why didn ' t you sign the petition? (I told him that I wanted something to use my notes on; I wonder what he thinks I take notes for; some people haven ' t got a grain of sense.) Thackston: Fellows, I am taking up a collection to pay for a pack of cigar- ettes I bought this morning. I want a cent from everybody. Warm stunt, I tell you. (He got the money, including that three-dollar bill ] IacDonald used to carry, and went out singing, I ' m the man that broke the bank at Monte Carlo. ' ' ) Wolff: Don ' t you know old Horb was a bird! ' Deanthroponiorphization! ' Hot shot! ' Daniel and Grubb (sadly) : How I wish I were that familiar with liim! Cox: Fellows, I ' ve written a poem about i All: Bryan!— Silver! Cox: Yes; that ' s it. It ' s like this: O, Maiden with the silvery hair, Thy watery glance, thy western air Make Bryany tears come to mine eyes, Nebraskan cyclones are my sighs. Could sixteen tumults to one heart Make thee one liquid smile impart, I ' d quaff the All: Kill him! Chunk him! Drown him! Thackston: You can ' t! (While they were whooping, Cox made his escape.) MacDonald: You see, the reason this isn ' t the same is because it is different; baseball isn ' t played by touchdowns and football is played bj surgeons with stretchers. Sloan: Ye-e-e-s. Thackston: I think it is. Adams: I ' d swear I saw a little Tarde here last week, but where it is now Bliss doesn ' t know. It ' s little and green and thin and short Thackston (dryl} ) : Yes; it is so. IMoffatt: Please somebody tell me where I want to go, what I want to do, and how I want to do it. Paul Jones ' Hunting Party In the days that now be, in the year 1905, Paul Jones. of Kentucky, was a famous Hunter and his fame had spread abroad through the whole country. And, verily, 1 say unto you that this fame had been right honestly won, for Paul never wearied when game was to be had and was content to hunt always with his convivial companions. And it so happened that in the second month of the year that now is, while Paul Jones was sojourning in the hunting fields of Charlottesville, word came to him of another famous hunting ground in the Land of Lexington. Now the fame of this region had vaguely reached Paul before. So he determined to give a grand hunt, to invite all his jovial companions and with them to seek out this Land and the inhabitants thereof. Invitations were hastily dispatched to the members of the Four Hundred and the Upper Ten, for Paul Jones was withal an exclusive though jolly fellow and required good descent as well as good spirits. So the list of invited fairly slione with rich and spirited hunters. Wilson and Heyner and Harper And Joel B. Fraser were there; Jack Cranston and Melwood and Schneider And other names racy and rare. The Kanawha Bell, and the Fencing Girl ' ' shone As the fairest of the fair. Only Pure Malt and Peruna Such names the list could not bear. So the invitations were sent out and every one made haste to accept, and on the appointed day the company assembled in all the brilliancy of their hunting attire. Especially was the costume of Paul Jones noticeable. On his head he wore a black hat with a Red Top and in the band were Three Feathers, vari-colored and beautiful. His coat was of yellow buckskin and on his breast was stamped the mystic Monogram XXXXX. Xor did Paul forget his six magic hunting clubs, each named and labeled as follows: Elk Club, Yacht Club, Jockey Club, Canadian Club, Garrick Club and Westmoreland Club — each with its special purpose in the hunt. Ami now with a shout and a flourish the party started and proceeded without happening until they reached the ' Cascade of the Green River, wliich flows through the Sugar Valley. And there they rested, for it was a pleasant place. In the distance was Green Mountain, sparkling with Moun- tain Dew, and at the base of this mountain Echo Spring formed a Meadow- brook which here emptied its clear waters into the river. While they rested here the patriarchal Five Brothers, Old Crow, Old Tom, Old Braddock, Old Bourbon and Old Kentucky Tajdor came upon them, and were quickly persuaded by Paul Jones to turn back and join the festive company. At dusk the} ' reached the borders of the Land of Lexington and were met by a host of those who had heard of their wondrous fame. A great banquet had been prepared in the Hall of the House of Granger and here was the company given a right royal welcome. It was a gay and festive scene and such revelry as the Land of Lexington had never known before. The health and prosperity of Paul Jones and his company w-as drunk unceasingly and every face was gay and animated. All formality was thrown to the winds and ever} ' one was in an exuber- ant mood. The spirits of the Five Brothers fairly effervesced. The mouths of the Fencing Girl and of the enchanting Kanawha Belle were rapturously pressed by the host, the merits of Paul ' s mystic clubs were tested, and the w ater from the Echo Spring, the Meadowbrook and the Green River was drunk unceasingly. No drink was left undrunk, no viand untasted. Hour after hour the carousal lasted until every eye sparkled, every cheek was flushed, and every tongue loosened. Then the brain began to reel, and the mind to lose its senses, the eye to grow drowsy and finallj ' the revelers, one by one, dropped to the floor. Only the spirit of Paul Jones remained strong and unchanged, and as he brooded over the scene of the revelry, perhaps if there had been any one to listen, he might have heard the spirit mutter, It was a glorious hunt and no game has escaped. Editorials Since the function of a university annual is to give a brief history of the occur- rences in university Ufe, it does not seem impertinent that mention should be made of the progress of the institution itself. We, of the ' 05 class, on our outgoing, see great improvement over the existing conditions at our incoming and feel that due credit should be given our President for his energy and progressiveness which has wrought the change. It is due to his strenuous spirit that our number has been increased by more than a third; that we now have a large and well-equipped dormitory; that an attractive building has been erected for the Department of Engineering and that an adequate system of heating has been installed. Many other improvements have been brought about by his perseverance and indications point to as many more for the near future. We have passed through the vicissitude and can thus appreciate more fully the changes wrought. President Denny deserves much credit for the good he has done the institution, and we gladly bestow on him the laurel for his success. May this present success be but the beginning of a more prosperous future and may the interests of Washington and Lee be continually promoted through his leadership. ■ •$: r In the smaller colleges, and even in the larger colleges and universities, where the class system is established, there is a bond of friendship, but where the elective system prevails; where the university is for the general public; where they come and go in the search for things of self, there are few, if any, institutions which can boast of such a democratic spirit as that of Washington and Lee. In the present day it seems that Every, man for himself and the Devil for all is more than ever true. The mad greed for gold, for fame, for self alone, would seem the dominant spirit of the day. What care we for the man who sits next us in the lecture room? What need to meet and pass the time of day with any but our special clan? We are young but we have caught the fever of a selfish world — look out for self alone — don ' t waste a word or smile. This is the spirit of our larger institutions. But Washington and Lee says Nay, not I. Gathered from homes of wealth, of moderation, and even of want, representing Southern chivalry and valor, and blessed with a Southern smile, the students of Washington and Lee are democratic throughout. From Maine to New Mexico they come, join the spirit, and glory in it. The man himself is man with us. It 159 takes no pull or frat to make him famous. Tlie fraternities themselves are democratic. They draw their men into closer bonds and yet they stand on solid ground. They realize the worth of others than themselves. They give the honor to those who most deserve it. The cold shoulder. the insolent stare is not in vogue. The students pass daily, upon the street or campus, professors or fellow-students whom they have not met. Some greeting is exchanged. A Senior class goes out and is followed by the well wishes of all, regretful goodbyes of many and links of affection forged for life. This democratic spirit is a noble heritage. To know your brother ' s worth and help him on; to smile upon him where you meet; to infuse the cheerful glow into his heart; to live your honor; win your praise, and wish each other well when vou must part ; this is the aim of life, the What is worth while. The world needs more such men, and may Washington and Lee train nothing else. The Lexington City Council, with its able and energetic co-agitators, the members of the Board of Health, deserves more than passing mention in this vol- ume, and it is with sincere regret that we find ourselves forced to let them down with only a few lines. The A-ery excellent manner in which that distinguished and competent body of public servants has conducted the affairs of the citizens of Lexington during the past winter, cannot, however, be passed over without special attention. Their plan of allowing each inhabitant of the town, students excepted, a semi-annual bath, was a most happy idea, and though it was doubtless not an original one, it was nevertheless highly commendable, and we take the liberty of recommending its adoption by the authorities of Buena A ' ista, Jacktown and Lynchburg. Bathing has now become an admittedly healthful process and it might be well if other metropolitan towns would institute adec uate watering systems such as that possessed by Lexington. The Council ' s conception of an efficient lighting plant is also perfect, and we especially commend their pious attitude in not allowing their powerful one-horse dynamo to compete mth that heavenly body, the new moon. In the magnifi- cently clear and delightful climate of Rockbridge any one can read by the light of the moon alone, and any ill-tempered kick against such intelligent public economy is deserA ' ing only of contempt. The street-cleaning department should not go unmentioned. The evidences of its healthful and competent service are visible on all sides. Several centuries ago the streets of London were never swept, but the plan of cleaning up Lexington ' s numerous back alleys every leap-year is a very original and admirable idea and an excellent advertisement for the town. It also promotes the manufacture of vaccine points and various brands of disinfectant, two industries that should never be allowed to deteriorate as long as Lexington is on the map of the county. 160 Tlu ' comUtLon of the city ' s streets needs no eoninient. Enough has ah-eady been said of the pul)hc thoroughfares, especially by those pedestrians who fail to patronize the cars in rainy weather. The fire department is deserving of liigh |)raise, but space forbids any further mention other than a single compliment ujjon the manner in which they saved the Lexington Hotel and the Bank Building during the Baltimore fire. In point of fact, there is probably not another community in existence whose public enterprises are run just like those of Lexington. If there is, we hand them the palm. They win. It ' s theirs for keeps. The Trusts Canto I. Of giant corporations and, especially, The tentacles of that gigantic octopus. Old John 1).
