I9nr ' A matt Df (Sob c Vale WENTY-ONE years ago this coming August the present professor t Philosophw from the loveh ' land of Missouri, first trod the r- xzA),s v ' H ' - ' ' •ssic streets ot Lexington and heard tlie buds smg in the leaf ' jK f 2|5fe campus ot the Washington and Lee Universit -.

During this ea , 1886-1887, one hundred and twent ' -two students, altogether, were enrolled. There was no g mnasmm or athletic held, and all games were pla •ed on the campus in front oi the main building. At the end ot twent -one ears.

The gym- nasium, power house, and Professor Hogue ' s residence were built b ' General Lee; two additional professorships in Law were established; steam heat was introduced into Newcomb Hall; the preparator ' classes were abandoned and arrangements made for entrance examinations; the Letcher Building was bought during his regime. The Tucker Memorial Hall was built, the Mlson athletic field impro ed, the Societ ' halls renovated, the departments of Ph ' sics and Chemistr - enlarged, and the chairs of English, Economics and Politics added b - President ilson during his three brief ears. Henr ' St. George Tucker tilled out the ' ear m which Presi- dent Wilson died. 19CO-1901. as temporar ' president, and was largeh ' instrumental in securing the means for building Tucker Hall and tor the endowment of one hun- dred thousand dollars for the Wilson Memorial Fund. President Denn completed this last work, and has added the Reid Hall ot Engineering and Ph sics. the Lees Dormitor -. and the Carnegie Library to our equipment, besides renovating the Central Building within and without, establishing the University Inn. installing the superb hot water plant, and la ing the granolithic walks. Moreo er. the enrollment ot students has rapidlv increased under his indefatigable and judicious labors. In 1886 there were ten professors and two assistants, all ot them competent 15 men. Now there are seventeen- professors,- and fifteen assistants. The enrollment ot iSSfi has grown from one hundred and twenty-two to four hundred and seventeen. Modesty forbids him to say that all this improvement has occurred during the in- cumbency of the present professor of Philosophy! Post hoc, ergo propter hoc. Imagine the ' ashington and Lee with eight academic professors and a single man tor the Law, with only a score more than a hundred students, and some of these in the preparatory department; with Professor Hogue ' s house, the Tucker Memorial, the Gymnasium, the Power House, the Reid Building, the Carnegie Library, the University Inn, and the Lees Dormitory all gone; with no athletic field; with fenced front yards and rear gardens to all the professors ' houses, which were or- namented with dingy stables of wood; with trees half grown; with no granolithic walk; and with no paint on the walls or on the columns of any of the buildings — and you will have the university pictured as it was in 1886. The department of Philosophy, during this period, has always occupied its present quarters. Its equipment is the same as then, except that radiators have supplanted the old stove, and it has been munificently furnished with cast-off desks t rom the Law School and a few old tables bought by the professor from William Harvey, our lamented janitor. The average number of philosophic students during the first three years of this period was seventeen; during the last three it has been fifty-four. During the coming vacation, the trustees will fit up this room with neat desks and chairs and blackboards of slate; and they will soon establish a psychological lab- oratory, for which a request was made in President Wilson ' s day. As indicating the growth of the university in a more scientific differentiation of its several departments of instruction, it is interesting to know that English Liter- ature was assigned to the philosophic chair until 1890; Rhetoric until 1899; Econ- omics, from 1887 to 1898, and that Politics was here taught during the year 1887-1888. The professor of Philosoph} ' since 1899 has had nothing to do but teach Psychology, Logic, Natural Theology, Comparative Religions, Apologetics, Ethics, History of Philosophy, Epistemology, and Ontology. It seems unaccountable that he should be willing to give up such a sinecure. But you must bear in mind that, in addition to his duties in the lecture room, he has walked or wheeled all over Rockbridge County and down the valley to Winchester, has time and again walked twenty miles and conducted divine service on a Sunday, and has preached, during these twenty }ears, ele ' en hundred and sixt -two times, in one hundred and sixty-seven churches, scattered over twelve states and the District of Columbia, besides conducting many funerals and delivering one hundred and sixty addresses in divers places and on various subjects. It is none the less a tact that he is going to retire at the end of this year and 16 surrender his chair to a younger and more efficient man. It is hard to leave this beautiful Valie ' . this salubrious and dehghttul climate, these interesting and ex- cellent Scotch-Irish people, this facult ' of scholarly gentlemen, this delicious work in Philosoph % and, above all, these splendid young men, the elite ot the land, ' ever again in this world will he find such a congenial en ironment. He makes this sac-o- rifice and turns his back on all these privileges because he is convinced that his work here is ended, and that some other man, more skilled, should rake his place and guide these imperial young minds to the throne oi truth. His work in the world, however, ma ' not ' et be over. He has no desire to fold his hands in ease, but hopes to find in the use ot his pen for the press, and of his voice in the pulpit and on the platform, that there is still for him a field of active usefulness. To Mr. Andrew Carnegie, the munificent philanthropist, who makes his hon- orable retirement possible, he gives his sincere thanks. To the people of the town and county, whom he has learned to love, he would express his appreciation ot their patience with his failings and of their repeated kindnesses. To the President and I-acultv, he would sa ' — Ever bear in mind that vou are photographing impressions upon the sensitive minds sitting at our teet. To our boys, our beloved boys, our noble boys, worthy sons of worthy sires, he would give a father ' s blessing, and for them would offer a father ' s prayer for their clear vision of truth, their high concep- tion ot dut -, their full realization of usefulness. The gladiators, in view of the probable issue of their combat, cried to the spec- tators, Nos morituii salutamus. The retiring professor, a septuagenarian, as he surve s the future and considers its probabilities with calm, penitent, trusting confidence in the Savior of sinners, voices his Vale to ' ou young men, Ego victurus saliiio; I, who am about to live, salute ' ou. Farewell, old Coila ' s hills and dales. Her heathy moors and winding vales; Farewell, itia ' friends; farewell, my foes; My peace with these, m - love with those. The bursting tears m heart declare. Farewell, the bonnie banks of A r. ]. S. A. QUARLES. n Dear Old College Days IKE music of some half-forgotten song Heard in a happy, happy long ago, ' Whose melody has lingered liquid, low — Whose sweetness with the long years grows more strong Like some rare painting ' s glorious gleaming glow. On which the long years ' lights and shadows throng, To which the tints and tones of age belong — Where Time ' s weird witchery bids beauty blow And bloom in mellow richness every year ; Like fragrant flavor of age-ripened wine. In cobwebbed cask stored in some cellar ' s hold — So do the years with happy memories twine Our college days, and when we ' re growing old In Memory ' s heart of hearts they grow more dear. Academic 1907 Rev. John Olin Knott, B. A. . . .... Lexington, Va. The time is out of joint: O cursed spite. That ever I was born to set it right. — Hamlet. Mr. Knott was born near Shepherdstown, W. Va., where most of his early Hfe was spent. At the age of eighteen he took the degree of Master of Enghsh Literature from Shepherd College, and, after teaching three years, he entered Vanderbilt University, where he finished his theological course in three years. Mr. Knott has had charges in Baltimore, Washington, and many other cities, including Lexington. While in Baltimore, he entered Johns Hopkins University, and would have taken his Ph. D. degree there, but he was transferred to Lexing- ton. He has been among us three years, and we are glad to see him made a Doctor of Phi- losophy and a son of Washington and Lee. Certain it is that no other one among us has seen more of the world than has our preacher friend, for he has made three trips to Europe, and has traveled over practically all of the Continent and the British Isles. Waller Raymond Cooper, B. A Centerville, Ala. ' Tts better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all. Cooper really had intended to go to Harvard this year, but for some reason unknown to us, he migrated back to dear old Lexington, where he has spent so many happy years. He was born at Centerville, April 7, 1886. After a year at the Lexington High School, he en- tered W. and L. in 1902. Among the many honors he has won here may be mentioned the following: B. A., 1906; Tennis Tourney, 1904; Secretary W. L. S., 1905-6; Vice-President of Y. M. C. A., 1906-7; Gymnasium Team, 1906-7. He intends to take graduate work at Harvard next year; but, look out, he might get back here. John William Eggleston, B. A., Z 2 Charlotte C. H., Va. Hold the fort: I am coming. — Sherman. Jack was born June 18, 1886. He attended Hampden Sidney College, 1902-1904. and entered W. and L. in September, 1904. Jack has taken a little recreation from his studies as a member of the Tennis Club, 1904-7, and a member of the Gym Team, 1907, He took his B. A. in June, 1906, and along with it the Mapleson Scholarship. During the past year he has held the position of Instructor in Biology. He expects to get his M. A. in June, after which it is his ambition to be a lawyer. 23 Herbert Anderson, 77 J , i Franklin, W. Va. Honi soit qui mal y pense. Herbert belongs to that class of fellows who have migrated to Washington and Lee from some other institution of learning. A native of Franklin, W. Va., he received the first part of his college education at Hampden Sidney, whence he came to Washington and Lee in 1904. According to the opinion of his friends he should he given the degree of M. S. E. (master of Society Etiquette), for he is a great ladies ' man. He is a member of the Cotillion Club and of the Albert Sidney Boat Club. Certainly no one has shown greater interest in the Glee Club, for which he has been both accompanist and manager; and his ability as a musician has gained for him the respect and admiration of his fellow-students. Charles Frank Bagley, ? i 0; (9 A £, 2 .... Fayetteville.Tenn. IJonius homo. Charlie was born in 1884, in Fayetteville, Tenn. He attended the People ' s and Morgan Prep. School, and came to Washington and Lee in the fall of 1903. He is a loyal member of ' 07 and a true son of Washington and Lee. He has shown his interest and ability as an athlete as a member of the Track Team, 1905-6, and a member of the famous Football Team of 1906. But Charlie likes the ladies, too, and, as a member of the Cotillion Club, has not neglected the social side of life since he came to Lexington. Last, but not least, Charlie is a student, and has shown himself of no mean ability. Edwin Gray East . Raphine, Va. And of his port as meke as is a mayJe. — Chaucer. Of Gray we know very little, for he minds his own business and expects others to do the same. He has told us, however, that he was born Aug. 11, 1885. He attended the Valley High School and the New Providence Academy, entering Washington and Lee in the memo- rable fall of 1903. Since then he has said little, but sawed wood, and expects to get his B. A. in June. 24 Beaver Creek, Md. •jdines doest take. — Spencer. er Creek, Washington County, Md.

After graduating ft-om the Hagerstown High School, he came to Washington and Lee in 1905. He has been too busy since then to tell us anything about himself. He has been, ever since he landed in Lexington, a member of the Wash Society, and is taking his B. A. in two years, after which he expects to study law. Carrol Anderson Engle, I E Harper ' s Ferry, W. Va. No man was more foolish ivhen he had not a pen in his hand, or more wise when he had. — Johnson. Engle was born at Harper ' s Ferry in 1884, and entered Washington and Lee in 1902. Since then he has taken an active part in college life, especially along literary lines, having been the winner of Graham-Lee Society Debater ' s Medal, 1903; President of Graham-Lee Lit- erary Society, 1904; Manager of the Collegian, 1905-6; Editor of Collegian, 1906-7. He was also Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. for the year 1905-6, and President of the West Virginia Club for 1906-7. But of all the various capacities in which he has served himself and his fellow-students, he is probably best known as the Manager of the Cooperative Book Associa- tion, with which he has been connected for the past three years. Jacob Olin Faulkner ......... Winchester, Va. God made htm, and therefore let him pass for a man. — Shakespeare. The only original journalist was born in Winchester, Jan. 25, 1886. He graduated at the John Kerr High School, 1901, and from the Shenandoah Valley Academy, 1904, and will try to get his B. A. in June. A frequent contributor to the Southern Collegian, and one of the editors of the Ring Turn Phi ' 06-7. He will select either journalism — the yellow kind — or law as his life ' s vocation, after a year or two as a pedagogue, when he will teach anything but Math or Greek. 27 Asa Richard Larrick Chambersville, Va. Chevalier d ' Industrie. Dick is ' 07 ' s champion wrestler. He was born in Winchester, Va., a few years after Sheridan ' s raid, and came to Washington and Lee from the Shenandoah Valley Academy. Since he has been here, he has spent half of his time in the gym, one fourth eating, and the rest he has divided up among the following: Vice-President W. L. S., 1905; member Student Executive Committee, 1905-6; Gymnasium Team, 1906-7; Treasurer Y. M. C. A., 1906-7; English; Assistant, 1906-7. If he makes as good a preacher as he is a gymnasium instructor, we shall hear from him later. Next year he is going to teach some of the youth of the land the stunts he has learned here. William Leland Lord . Anchorage, Ky. A most acute juvenal. — Shakespeare. Lord reminds us of the frog in the well, for when asked one day how he got from the Houston ranch to Chemistry class in a blinding snowstorm, he said, I found I was slipping back two steps every time I went forward one, so I started back the other way and finally got here. He was born Jan. 29, 1888, and was educated at his father ' s school until 1904, when he came to Washington and Lee. He immediately got his hands on the James J. White Scholarship in Junior Greek and has worn a smile ever since. He holds down the Secretary ' s chair in the meetings of the Senior Class, and will graduate with honor. Samuel Lee Phillips, Jr., 7 i2 Charlestown, W. Va. And Melancholy marked him for her oiun. — Gray ' s Elegy. Sam was born Mar. 26, 1886, in Charles Town, West Virginia, not many miles from the famous old Shenandoah River. He graduated from the Charlestown High School in 1902, and entered Washington and Lee the next year. He held the position of Assistant Manager of the Southern Collegian 1905-6, and has been Vice-President of the illustrious and far-famed Shenandoah Club. He writes his thesis for Dr. Currell, and, if he does not become too absorbed in reading Chaucer, will get his B. A. in June. 28 . New Bloomfield, Pa.

He was born in Springfield, Ohio, May 28, 1885. He attended WiUiamstown (Ky.) High School, graduated from the New Bloomfield Academy, 1902, and Mercersburg Academy, 1904, and started his college course at Lafayette, where he spent the first term of the session of 1904-5. The climate did not suit him there, so he started south and struck Lexington a little after Christ- mas, 1905. He has been a member of the Track Team, having won the record for quarter- mile run. Frank McCuTCHAN, Jr Rogersville,Tenn. ' The wisest man, in general, is he who does not think he is so. — Boileau. Mac is a Virginian by birth, a Tennesseean by adoption. He was born at Glade Spring, Va., July 13, 1886, and afterwards moved to Rogersville, where he attended McMinn Academy. He has been active in many branches of college life: for four years a member of the Washington Literary Society, which he served as Secretary for the first term in 1905, and at its celebration Feb. 22, ' 06; an enthusiastic gymnast, winning the flying rings medal in 1905, and as the team ' s Captain winning the all-round prize in 1907; a member of the Harry Lee Boat Club for four years; an honored member of the Tennessee Club; and Vice-President of the Senior Class. Mac will always have the devotion of his class- mates as a student and as a gentleman. Waldo Bernie Marvin Bee Newell Anderson, S. C. Armad: What wilt thou prove? Moth: A man if I live. — Shakespeare, L. L. L. Bumble-bee has told us that he was born Nov. 26, 1887, and entered Washington and Lee in 1904. Further facts we know not, except that he is a Chemistry and Philosophy shark, and expects to get his B. A. in three years. If his honor and fame grow to the dimen- sions of his name, we apprehend no fears from this quarter. 31 Paulus Powell Glass, K S Lynchburg, Va, All we ask ts to be let alone. — Davis. Powell, like a few other members of ' 07, is not very communicative, hence we have little to judge from except our observation. He was born Oct. 9, 1886, coming to Washington and Lee in 1903. He was Editor-in-Chief of the Ring Turn Phi in 1905-6, and showed the e} - perience which he had obtained before as a journalist. Powell is also a ladies ' man, and a member of the Harry Lee Boat Club. He expects to get his B. A. in June. Robert Camillus Glass Lynchburg, Va. JFise in his own conceit. — Proverbs. Bob was born on a bright day in June, 1885. After some years at the Lynchburg High School, where he graduated in 1902, and a year ' s search for something — gold bricks, probably — he entered Washington and Lee in 1904. Here he has established quite a reputa- tion as a shark, carrying off two scholarships, one in History, 1905, and the other in Eco- nomics and Politics, 1906. Bob is a man of few words and much learning, and will get his B. A. with little trouble. ViRGiNius GiLMORE Iden, A T Q Manassas, Va, He reputes me a cannon, and the bullet, that ' s he. — Shakespeare. Sal once had a brother at Washington and Lee who told him that it wasn ' t good to grow fat, and he seems to have taken that advice. He, like the rest of us, was born, attended a prep school, and entered Washington and Lee in 1903. Most of Gillie ' s time since his advent here has been taken up with the pursuit of literature. He has been a faithful member of the Wash, a member of the Southern Collegian Board, 1905-6; Assistant Editor-in- Chief of the Collegian, 1906-7, and a member of the Calyx Board, 1906-7. But we think that if he deserves any title to fame in literary circles it is as originator and executor of the famous publication The University Touchstone. 32 Atlanta, Georgia ps. e, Florida; but he got afraid of typhoid ta.

After graduating from the Boys ' High School of Atlanta, and spending a year looking for gold bricks in the field of insurance, he decided to come to Washington and Lee in the fall of 1904. Since he came to college he has been as busy as a bee. The first year he did nothing but everybody. The second year he got into good company when he joined the Harry Lee Boat Club and Cotillion Club, and was made Historian of the Junior Class. He also found Graham-Lee ' s annual debaters ' medal lying loose and took that. This year he has been President of the Senior Class as well as its Valedictorian, and Manager of the Ring Turn Phi and Student Directory. Charles Converse Crockett ....... Wilmore, Kentucky Felix qui potuit rerum cognoscere causas. — Virgil. Crockett was born at Rural Retreat, Va., Oct. 7, 1885, moved to Kentucky in 1894, and now thinks there is no better place on earth. In 1905 he came to Washington and Lee from the Central University of Kentucky, and joined the ranks of ' 07. Since being here, he has developed into a Philosophy shark, and intends to put it to use in his chosen profession — the ministry. C. C. took a notion this spring that he would look more handsome with a bald pate and startled the community one morning by appearing at the breakfast table looking like a peeled onion. William King Ramsey, Jr., J T J Camden, Arkansas A la mode. Bill stands in rather a peculiar relation to both Senior and Sophomore classes, for he belongsto that class of fellows who take a running start on their college course and jump from Freshmen to Seniors in one bound. He was born Sept. 8, 1887; and since his advent here in 1905 has taken an active part in various phases of college life — a member of Gym Team, 1905-6; a member of the Dramatic Club, 1905-6; Historian of the class of 1909 for the two years 1905-6 and 1906-7; vice-president of the Arkansas Club.

Thomas Owen Bagley, 4 6,6 N E, I . . . Fayetteville, Tenn. Left end over, y, ii, 23; you could tell very easily who it is without putting his name up there; they say he was shouting signals with all his might when he landed on Terra Cotta on April 22, ' 87. Shack ' s a handsome bird when he hasn ' t war togs on, and has mighty takin ' ways, but that ' s a characteristic of all S. I.s, you know. He backed into Lexington on the Virginia Creeper in ' 03, and has been kicking the pigskin ever since. His worst sin was causing Mike to swallow a whole one-cent cigar from suspense, while he was prancing around getting ready to kick the ball at the A. M. game; but that has been forgiven since the ball went over. He expects to climb telegraph poles in the near future, and later accept the job of chief engineer of the Westinghouse Company. Charles Edwin Dexter ...... Hampton, Va. Another quiet and very unassuming but hard-working fellow. He happened on Jan. 26, 1886, and entered Washington and Lee in ' 03. Since he became a resident of the ancient and mummified city of Lexington his fame has not been proclaimed through a trumpet, but, nevertheless, has grown. He held the office of Vice-President of the Tidewater Club in ' 05-6. He holds the respect, friendship, and heartiest good wishes of his classmates for a prosperous and successful career. He expects to engage in Civil Engineering after graduating. Abner Earle Griffith .... . . Front Royal, Va. Abner came down the pike sometime between ' 80 and ' 90 A.D. ; the exact date is not known . Ever since entering college in ' 04 Abner has been trying to work off on us the bluff that he took the blue ribbon at a beauty show in his infantile days. Judging by present evidence, we are inclined to doubt his veracity; but, if he was a beauty, he wasn ' t an angel, for all angels die young. Besides capturing the Physics scholarship in ' 05, be it said to his honor that during his administration as librarian of the Custis Lee Engineering Society not a single book has been missing. After getting his B. S. degree he expects to work for Westinghouse. 39 David Hamme Hill New York, N. Y. Hamme is a mighty pretty boy, especially v.itli his head shaved, and if it weren ' t for Senior Math, would be perfectly happy. Just since he had his head clipped it has been discovered that Hamme ' s cranium belongs to the isometric system of crystallization, and is, therefore, isotropic. He sa3-s it is true, too, for all things look alike to him, especially in Old Harry ' s rockology. Hamme came down from the skies on a blistering hot day in July, 1885, and got hung up on a hickory tree somewhere in the neighborhood of Shepherdstown. He entered Washington and Lee in 1904 and expects to get his B. S. degree this spring. Edward Augustus Clyde Hoge, B X Washington, D. C. Look at that name, will you! It ' s a wonder he ever grew so tall with all that tacked on; it has been lately boiled down to Judas. The family Bible says the stork dropped him down the chimney on Jan. 31, 1886, and he forthwith began to bark. The first we saw of him was in ' 04, when he backed into Lexington on the lightning-rod express. He has been kicking the pigskin for three years and very efficiently held down center last year. He has been mixed up in divers enterprises since landing, among them being the assistantship to Sis and manager of Gym team of ' o6- ' o7, and with it all is quite a promising calico shark. He expects to engage in English work, and later on, if the pay is materially increased, to accept the presidency of the Southern Railroad. William Ransom Johnson Dunn, I A E, S. B. C Birmingham, Ala. Willie is Done and ready to hit the road for a job. He opened his eyes to the trials of life on Nov. 7, 1886, and has been struggling along wearily under all that name ever since. He arrived at Lexington on the 20th Century Flier in ' 03 at the invitation of Mike. Though not a whole constellation, as some senior lawyers seem to think themselves, he has been prom- inent in all college work, and the heartiest good wishes of all his classmates will follow him in his future work of railroad contracting. He gets his B. S. this year. 40 Lexington, Va. id slow-moving Lexingtonians were greatly ; object sailing over House Mountain with of an earthquake was felt, and, to satisfy cause of the shock, the Lexington Gazette r., had struck the town.

Robert Lester Hutton Lexington, Va. On the night of July 17, 1887, the antiquated and slow-moving Lexingtonians were greatly alarmed over the appearance of a bright meteor-like object sailing over House Mountain with terrific velocity. Toward morning a faint shock as of an earthquake was felt, and, to satisfy the anxious inquiries of the citizens concerning the cause of the shock, the Lexington Gazette published an extra announcing that Mr. Hutton, Jr., had struck the town. Lester has been a dutiful son, and has not gotten more than the average amount of chastising. Since entering college in ' 03 he has been noted for his precocity and especially for his long-distance running, establishing the latest mile record in ' 06. He expects to make the sparks fly in the electrical world in the near future. William Elliott Jones, TI K A Champe, Va. Mr. Elliott, otherwise known as W. E. first saw the light of day in Dinwiddie Co., June, 1 88 1. After getting his B. A. at Hampden Sidney, he entered Washington and Lee in ' 04 and forthwith proceeded to bluff Old Alex. Now let us fix our attention on this side of the equation (that electric light bulb equation, you know). He has been instructor in Math for the last two years, and is President of the Senior Engineering Class. After getting his B. S. degree he expects to engage in Civil Engineering. Luck to him. Montague L Lippitt, K ¥ Rippon, W. Va. Monte hit the earth about May 5, 1888, and immediately established quite a reputation as a rapid sketch artist. At the express invitation of Mr. Keister, he entered Washington and Lee in ' 04 and brought along with him the fell design of whitewashing the town; but we believe he has painted it red. After receiving his B. S. degree he will proceed to finish the Panama Canal and a few more odd jobs that are hanging around unfinished. 43 Charles Mercer McCrum, 2 TV, 2 Lexington, Va. Long, lank, lean and handsome, but liked by all. Shorty is his name, but the name is a hybrid: you would agree with us if you knew his length; it is somewhere between six and eight feet. He came up North River on a canal boat on Oct. 27, 1885, and immediately elec- trified the town with his precocity. Since entering Washington and Lee in ' 02 he has gradually absorbed all the knowledge that is to be had here, and after he gets his B. S. pigskin will wipe grease for a time in the Westinghouse shops. Harry W. Miller Hagerstown, Md. Not much for looks, surely, but please don ' t judge by that. Mr. Miley said he wanted to take his picture in an artistic pose; evidently the pose and subject didn ' t agree, or something broke. He hailed along on July 12, 1884, the same day Caesar was born. He graduated at H. H. S. in ' 04 and entered Washington and Lee at the invitation of Mr. Keister the same year. He has held numerous offices and jobs since entering college, among them being instructor in Math in ' 06 and in Engineering in ' 07, likewise Vice-President of Student Body and Pres- ident of Maryland Club in ' 07. After receiving his B. S. degree in ' 07, he expects to engage in Mechanical, along with some Civil Engineering. I may add that he is responsible for the histories of this bunch of S. Ls and means no offense by anything said therein. John Strother Moore, I E Charlestown, W. Va, A quiet, unassuming fellow is John Strother, but a shark in all directions, so look for him — girls included. He hit this terrestrial sphere on Oct. 4, 1886, somewhere in the region of Charles- town. Since entering Washington and Lee in ' 04, he has absorbed knowledge like a sponge, pocketing the Bradford scholarship in ' 06, a nd being instructor in Physics in ' 07. After getting his B.

He came down the warpath on Nov. 5, 1886, tomahawk in hand, uttering blood-curdling war-whoops, but the San Antonians had been bluffed before. Since coming to Washington and Lee in ' 04, Jesse has been a particularly precocious lad, ' carrying off the Modern Language scholarship in ' 05 and the Geology and Biology in ' 06 . He expects to get his B. S. this spring and later will engage in mining at Monterey, Mex. Luck to him. Lewis T. Stoneburner Edinburg, Va. Louis the II, otherwise known as Stony, landed on this planet on Oct. 28, 1884, and straightway was the pride of Edinburg. Since backing into Lexington in ' 03 Stony has been a hard worker, all-round good fellow, and liked by all. In ' 05 he captured the Taylor schol- arship and established a reputation as a Math shark. Not being satisfied with his scholastic victories, we find that he has made fearful inroads upon the hearts of Virginia calico. Ask him how many boxes of cake he got when coming back at Xmas. After getting his B. S. he expects to drive stakes and carry water on one of the Geological Surveying Corps. John David Zentmyer Halfway, Md. They call him Dutch, and he hails from Halfway, not meaning halfway between here and any place, but the whole way from here to Halfway. He migrated to the aforesaid place on Feb. 7, 1885, graduated at the Hagerstown High School (known as H2S), in ' 04, and came to Lexington in the same year. He has established quite a reputation as a declaimer, and is likewise quite a calico shark. He is President of the Custis Lee Engineering Society this year, and, after getting his B. S. degree, expects to engage in Civil Engineering. 47 Junior Class History As an ancient and respected adage has it, Tis an ill wind that blows no one good, the truth oi which is more than proven bv even a superficial glance at the history ot the class of igo8. During the fourth year of the present century there came from the four corners of the earth a great wind, bringing numerous particles which had been scoured from the face of the lands, and deposited here as a heter- ogeneous mass, the predominating characteristic of which was its emerald hue. Imbedded in this mass there were sticks, hay seed, and even a few real gems, the full value ot which has never yet been realized. And yet from the midst of this conglomeration there sprang the mighty and redoubtable class of 1908 ! Who can gainsay their might ? Did they not, when the count was made, have more fingers in the bowl than did their adversaries, the Sophomores ? And did they not, the tollowing year, emerge from the ball fight with honor unsullied and victory perched upon their banner ? Where are others who have accomplished a feat the like of this? The echo answers, Where? But these are not the greatest of our achievements, for we have in numerous combats met our ancient, though respected, enemy, The Faculty, and they are ours. Only a few short weeks must now elapse before we shall be Seniors and may enfold our forms in flowmg robes of black and wear crowns upon our heads. Then shall the Freshmen look upon us with awe, and we shall be given the foremost seats m the chapel. In those days engravings shall be made of us and the story of our lives written, and both shall be published in a book called The Calyx. Then, and not till then, shall we be immortalized according to our just deserts, for we are without doubt the Candy class. W. R. McMURRAN, Historian. 50 Junior Academic Officers President . . . G.

Winchester, Va. 52 History of the Class of 1909 A personage high in authoiit ' said of the class of 1909, on a memorable occasion last ear, these remarkable words: — This class appeals to me as the most thoroughbred lot ot gentlemen Ihaveever had occasion towelcome to this University. Tfiey are a credit to their future Alma Mater, and I predict for them an unusually successful career. How well this prediction is becoming fulfilled is attested by our unstained record of two years. Long since have we put away all semblance of that fractious temperament common to those surnamed Freshmen. Not that we ever conducted ourselves otherwise than as gentlemen .should, but we have simply come to a fuller and more intimate realization of the integral part we have to play in the inner life of the Greater University. One of the first problems which we had to face, with the advent of the session of c6- o7, was how to deal with the large and unruly band of incoming Freshmen. The ' appeared to be a bunch entirely given over to the practices of such bodies. Thev kept ever bright the brass of their countenance; they rolled up their trousers and disfigured their hats without cessation — in short, they reflected seriously on the glory of the Universit ' . Having the honor and interest of the dear old Varsity so thoroughh at heart, it behooved us to tone down this disrespectful crowd. And right grimly and bravely good old 09 met the issue. A set of rules was drawn up, the explicit obedience of which was demanded of the Freshmen. Encouraged by certain upper classmen, who were not so unselfishly devoted to Washington and Lee s welfare as we, the Freshmen offered resistance. However, after several severe scraps not on the program, and after numerous night escapades wherein especially obnoxious Freshies were made to run the gauntlet, predominance was ours. Thereafter, it was often pitifully ludicrous to note the careful and explicit obedi- ence accorded our rules. The real test of strength came, however, in the Annual Ball Fight. The Fresh- men managed to throw off their uneasiness somewhat, and went into the fight grimly determined. .As for 09 — the victory was hers long before the fight ever took place. 54 The fact that we had lost last ear under such unfavorable circumstances served but to lead us to an unalterable determination to win this year. The fight was long dela ed — a decided advantage to the Freshmen, in that it gave them a prolonged opportunity for becoming better organized and better acquainted with one another. It also gave us, however, a chance to perfect our elaborate system of attack and defense. On October 23d the fight finalh ' came off. Roll was called just previous to the battle, and every Soph, without exception, was in his place read for the fray. The battle was a royal one. The two classes, led on by their respective heavyweight presidents, charged and countercharged. Again and again, pushed up by the violent compact and b - the good work of our forwards, the immense ball rose in air — just as our skillful foreknowledge had led us to believe. Again and again our tall centers rushed the ball m mid-air towards the sides, where our well-organized ends caught it up and carried it down the field for sweeping gains. The final score of 5 to o gave us the ictor ' by a good margin, as we so richh- deserved. The fight was fierce, grinding, almost inhuman, and whatever else can be said of the class of 1910, it must be admitted that they fought with a courageous strength, which could only have been overcome by the rare determination shown by 09. Thus was the victor ' won in spite of enormous odds. Thus we will continue to win our struggles here, and in after } ' ears to win the battle of life, though seemingly crushed h the overwhelming forces of the misunderstanding world. V ' . K.

Lee, has such a class of Freshmen gathered beneath the shelter of old Wash- ington and Lee to be enrolled as her sons. One hundred and forty, all told, arrived in Lexington upon a beautiful day in September, and looked with a species of awe upon this great institution of learning as it gladly bade them welcome. From such a class it was safe to predict great things, and he who may have done so must verily be considered a true prophet. Just how much has been done we will not say, for fear of being considered preju- diced, yet surely it is no harm to present to an impartial reader a few of our many achievements. The bearing of the class was ever such as to command respect. 1 here were remarkably tew conflicts between Freshmen and Sophomores; everyone awaiting the day ot the great Ball-fight, when all differences should be settled once and forever. Early indications were to the effect that it would be a battle royal, nor did it prove unworthv cf expectations. The day dawned clear and fair; a splendid opportunity for the g rand en- counter. Early in the sfternoon the two classes assembled upon the field, strangely yet lightly attired and yelling their defiance at each other. The great ball, six feet high, was the scene of an unholy scrimmage; ye gods, what a struggle! Ladies screamed and looked on with tearful eyes as many a lifeless ball man was carried from the field. Still the combat did not cease. Urged on continually by the bravos ot both Juniors and Seniors, neither class would cease one effort. Our big president. Fort Pipes, was ever in the van, and never did he lack for followers. The ball, as light as a leather in the hands of so many, was pushed back and forth, some- times upon the ground, at other times in the air. The end of the allotted time found the battle raging with undiminished fury, just as the tide of victory was rolling our way. Yes, victory is a seemingly perverse thing, and plays the most unthought-of tricks. Whom did she favor upon this day ? Question her not. Suffice it to say that it was a ne er-to-be-forgotten struggle, one that casts glory upon all. Happy would we be should time and space permit us to tell of the further doings ot this class. Upon the football field our class was ably represented, and no less than three followers of the orange and black received the coveted monogram. In baseball, too, we were represented, and we cannot but feel a thrill of pride at the masterly manner in which the Freshman has entered athletics. Our class team, our brilliant banquet, must all be passed over in a hurry for this must be brought to a close. The early promise of the class has been fulfilled in every particular. We are gratified, and justly so, at the result of this year, yet n ot satisfied. There are greater things to be done yet, and when the Historian again takes up the pen in behalf of the class of ' lo, there will be no end of things to chronicle.

A collection of young sages, united, by authority of Daddv, into one body, under a special denomi- nation, with great legal capacit ' , and acting in many respects as they please. This class represents nearly every state in the Union. It is composed of men of all creeds and nationalities. Even the sons of Ham have been admitted — as janitors. Mike has succeeded well in spreading before the world that self-evident truth that Washington and Lee Universit ' is the best school in America, and that the law department is the best part of Washington and Lee. He has succeeded in getting Crews of them from New Mexico among the greasers, while from Indian Territory comes her Sernple that he ma ' grow wise. Georgia sends her Meek, who is gentle and humble enough in classroom, but a holy terror in a library, while from the sun- burnt plains of Texas comes an old bachelor who is a Boy-vet. But, not being sat- isfied with this collection, Mike has sailed out into the seas and captured a Cuban Count and brought him here that he may be versed in legal lore. Junior Year. The aforesaid aggregation entered Tucker Hall September 13th. 1905,10 be tutored in law under such sages as Daddy, ' |oe, Sunny Jim, and Jack. At the outset we were beset with trouble. We became 7 or and Contract debtors of exacting creditors. Our Domestic Relations became unsettled, and by the time we struck Agency, our Principal (capital) was pretty well consumed. But Sunny |im came magnanimously to our rescue and gave us our share of Real Property, which we afterwards released to him for Negotiable Paper, but this proved of •er • little value to some of us, as Sunn refused to redeem a good deal of it on June 12th, 1906, the da - it fell due. No doubt prompted by the maxim United we stand, divided we fall, Jack devised a plan to reconcile our domestic troubles, and forthwith proceeded to kick up all sorts of International difficulties. 71 While we appreciate Jack ' s efforts in trying to make home life more agreeable, we most vehementiv denounce the plan he pursued, as it resulted in entangling some ot us in International difficulties, which we have not yet tullv settled. A good nian other notable e ents happened during our junior year, but space will not permit me to record them. Our Junior ' ear ended June i6th, igo6, and after the smoke of that great battle, which lasted nine months, had cleared away, it was found that onh ' ten warriors had escaped unscarred and unhiut. Senior Year. Our Senior ear opened with glowing prospects. Though our Sfmplt- dropped out, Ctrivs ot the old men, among them our JVvsor, came back, and we were successful in securing a Miller to run our Mills, who has been steadily grinding ever since. As it was doubtful whether s me of us would survive the Senior course, Joe thought It ad isable at the outset to see that we all made Jfills. In this line, as a shole, we were pretty successful, but regret to sa that a few were unable to make a will that would pass Long, but they attribute it to the fact that the professor stuck closely to the text and became Roodish on wills. I am not prepared to sa ' what bar they were preparing us for, but the fact is that as soon as we made ff ills, the ' commenced teaching us Pleading. Some, yea, the most of us, had, previous to this, had some little experience in pleading, but it proved of little value to us, as it was before a female instructor without Daddy being around. Dadd proved a past master in the art, and from the beginning tried to instill in us these two propositions: ( ) The science of Pleading is an excellent logic, and (l) Special Pleading extracts, like the root of an equation, the true point in dispute. But it had no effect, as we couldn ' t see it that way, and one of 72 the bo ' s becoming thf)rouglil ' disgusted, wrote the next da ' to liis former tutor as follows: Say, Ma -, can ' t ou sympathize With one whose heart lies bleeding. Condemned to wake from love ' s young dreams And take to Special Pleading. Another, after a hard night ' s work on Pleading was heard to murmur softly in his sleep: How well I know the spot where first I saw that form ethereal. But. Oh! Intransitor ' things The -•.■( ' H ue s not material. But Pleading is now over, though some of us are not over with it. Since then we ha%e had E idence, Equit ' , Federal Procedure, etc., and ha e now gone into Bank- ruptc -. The end is drawing near. So here ' s to Dadd ' , that he ma - share his knowledge with others b ' writing a complete book on Pleading; to foe, that his Domestic Relations will reach its sixteenth edition; to Sunnvjim, that he will ahva s remain the genial and true student friend that he is; to Jack, that he will be appointed a member of the Hague Tribunal; to Tucker Hall, that her fame will ever increase; to the class of ' 07. that the ' ma ' add luster and fame to the pro- fession they have chosen.

History of Junior Law Class WHEN the Lexingtonians gazed on the calendar and found that Father Time had carved the thirteenth notch in the month of September, 06, some intuition impelled them to open wide their peepers, ' to glance about them, and to discover new things which had come to pass. They were warned by a certain great prophet, named Michael, that a host of stalwart men were marching on to historic Lexington, to devour the eatables of the good landladies, to delve into the archives of Tucker Hall, and to learn the law of the land. And, ere the dawn of another day, they saw and heard, for the expected ones had arrived; the air was filled with the shouts of the dignified ( ?) Junior lawyers; but whether or not they believed is fraught with uncertainties, for the inhabitants of this grand old prehistoric, isolated iceberg of aristocracy are not prone to jump hastily at conclusions. In behalf of the city, etc. (but mostly etc.), Michael extended to us the glad mit after which we were formally presented to the Athletic Committee, who searched us for inherently dangerous instrumentalities, and we were promptly disarmed of our contingent fee. We were then placed under the scrutinizing care of Daddy and others of the law faculty, and were warned to use r-e-a-s-o-n-a-b-l-e care ' not to flunk, and that a recent Virginia statute had abolished bootlicking. But when the noise of battle had ceased, and the smoke had cleared awa -, most of us found our names in bright shining letters on the bulletin board as havine 75 passed, while only a tew, to whom the Ides of March had come, were compelled to join in the anthem, led hv Col. R. E. Morse: Go awa from me. Blackstone, and leave me evermore. Go awa ' from me, Blackstone, and leave me as before. e ha e learned to honor and respect our instructors, and ere the finale of another decade, our tame will be so enlarged b ' illustrious deeds of our members hat It will then require olumes of the CaUx to record our histor ' .

King Solomon ' s Chariot hen strife waxes hottest tween Israel ' s brave And hosts of the heathen — when onward the wave Of death and destruction engulfs in its womb The foes of Jehovah; when dark clouds and gloom Have blotted the sun from his place in the sky, — Then, then does Kmg Solomon ' s chariot fly From battlefields gory to palaces bright, here the king is regaled with sweet music ' s delight. The chariot ' s pillars of silver are made, And the bottom of pure gold of Ophir, o ' erlaid With diamonds and sapphires, — the covering rich Is of purple (and iv. it there ' s never a stitch): Jerusalem ' s daughters are fond of the king. So the midst of the chariot ' s paved with a thing Which is one and the same with Jehovah above; For the women — God bless ' em! — can ' t do without love. W. R.

Let us reassure you, fair Virginians, though when aroused in his native wilds the above barbarian is sporadically dangerous, when he goes abroad from his lair no more harmless or docile creature can be found. To him Virginia is a land of hyacinths and dahlias of the most iridescent hues, and of a people reveling m the pleasant mannerisms of his ancestors. To him West Virginia is a land where the shekels grow on bushes, to be had for the plucking; a land that contains enough coal to thaw the ice of the Polar Seas; enough oil to flood the earth; enough gas to illuminate the world without the aid of sun or moon; enough iron to bridge the intervening space to Mars; enough lumber to roof the universe; and enough cereals to feed the myriads that have gone before and the countless hosts that are yet to come. Lexington is the Mecca of all his pilgrimage; and well she deserves the homage. To her he gave the two noblest sons of his native soil — Stonewall Jackson and Wm. L. Wilson. To the alumni of W. L. U. he h as contributed names of which she can well be proud, and to her faculty he has given a young man of remarkable ability and most promising future, while this year numbering among her students, he finds from his native state the editors ot two of her student publications, and the giants on her athletic field. To her industry he has given three Guix-men and a Taylor; to her arts a Painter; to her colors both Grey and Brown; and to her speakers a Lip-it. A queer lot sure, take them either by the Peck or by the Hi , and we have the only Ghosling ever matriculated. WADE LEES ' , Historian. Maryland Club President ........ Harry W.

For many A months had taken their flight, and the bulletin board prophesied not concerning 4 ■■ ' ban iuet. Accordingly the chief mogul of the club gat himself across mto the room of departed languages, his club-men followed him there, and straightway he spake unto them as follows: Wist ye not that the day is near at hand when all men take holiday in honor of Mr. G. Washington . ' Wherefore should we not feast among ourselves on that day . ' Thereupon, a club-man arose and said, Thou hast spoken well, O mogul: we will eat drink, and be merry on the day which thou mayest appoint. Thus spake another, and another. Then did the mogul appoint a committee on shekels, for he reasoned as follows — For what man of you desiring to hold a feast doth not first sit down and count the cost, lest haply when he hath ordered booze, and is able to order nothing else, all that know concerning his bargain mock him, saying, This man ordereth claret; therefore he shall drink it, for noiu no one will come to his rescue. Then did the mogul look serious, and give unto his committeemen papers, that they might contract with the young men, using strategy in order that there be many at the feast. Three days did the shekel committee approach Shenandoah Valley men, saying, Come, sign up, for all things are now ready for the feast; but many excuses were ofi ered — one saying, Verily, it would give my heart joy to feast with thee, but my pockets are rent so that the money which goeth therein goeth straightway out and is lost among the citizens of Lexington. Then another excuseth himself as follows: I have not wherewith to buy me ' Duke ' s Mixture. I beg, therefore, that I be excused. Now, when the mogul had heard these things, he spoke unto the bearers of such messages in two languages (English and profane), saying, Go ye into the highways and hedges, and constrain them from Martinsburg and Shepherdstown to come, that we may yet have a feast. And it came to pass that one from Martinsburg had not on a banquet robe, for he was dressed as one who would attend a final ball; therefore he returned to his apartments and clad himself even as the common people, so that he might en|oy himself among the young men. When all these things were fialfilled, the Shenandoah men feasted, but they drank not of wine to their hurt, for the draught of each was like unto that which would be contained in a fountain pen filler. All things other than these are of small importance, and might have been styled toasts, which were delivered when the feasting was no more. C. A.

A. at Washington and Lee IIK end of the forty-second year of the career of the Association at Washington and Lee shows a memhcrship of 115, a great majority of whom are active memhers. The Association has not, to any outward appearance, made very '  V ? great and radical strides within the past year; but we hope, and sincerely believe, that it has upheld the high standard set for it by the men who have gone forth from these halls to fields of more active service and higher usefulness to their fellow-men. We believe that the Association is a mighty force in the University for good, and that without it the spiritual life of the student body would be sadl y lacking cf that vital force which inspires men to noble thoughts and nobler actions. The honor system is a matter of sacred tradition at Washington and Lee; but we dare to affirm that, without the influence of the Y. M. C. A., either directly or indirectly, upon the lives of the men who have been leaders among their fellows, it would be far less effective, if, indeed, a reality at all. A new method has been pursued this year in regard to Bible study classes, and we cannot yet say how great a success it has been from all points of view. The Association has turned this part of their work over to the several churches of the town, the object being to keep each man in touch with and identified with the church of his choice. Besides this, it has been the policy to have Mission Classes conducted by the students themselves. The Ministerial Band is composed of about fifteen members, who expect to enter the Christian ministry, and meets twice a month, when papers are read by members on various topics of interest to the band. The men get a great deal of experience in conducting services at mission points in the county near Lexington. An event, which has been of a great deal of interest and benefit to the Association this year, was the State Student Conference, held in Charlottesville, in the new Y. M. C. A. building of the University of Virginia, in February. Washington and Lee sent fifteen delegates to this conference, where they had the privilege of hearing several well-known speakers, including Rev. John Timothy Stone, of Baltimore, Rev. Dr. Robert K. Massie,of Alexandria, and Drs- Forrest and Alderman, of the University of Virginia. What the Association most needs at Washington and Lee is a local secretary and an adequate building of its own. We hope that it will not be many years before the efforts of our State Secre- tary, Mr. C. C. McNeill, and others will bring about such a condition. 151 University Athletic Association Officers H. M.

Having exacth ' nine and a half minutes now betbre the hour is up, the roll book is again unlocked and the put in and take out boxes are brought forth. The quiz IS now in progress. ' arious members of the class are sent to the board and sundry topics are given out. This calls tor further instructions: Gentlemen, in going to the board, first write ' our tull name with a ring around it; the number ot problem or question, ring around that; put down what ou are given and what is required with a line drawn under each. Then arrange your demonstration in i8.- equational turni, so that each conclusion ou draw follows logically from what has gone before. Mien aou ha e finished, put down the ' clock date ' with a ring around it. After gning these insti Lictions, there remains about six minutes for them to be carried out and the problem worked. The silence is broken onl b the bombardment of chalk on the blackboards. At last some one sighs — it is the absent one. Mr. C. — Professor, I ' m ready. ' ' Herr Prof. — Clock-date.?

O think of me when winter ' s icy breath Has frosted lake and pool and river o ' er; When Nature sleeps the seeming sleep ot death, Then think of me as in the days ot yore. Think of me when the evening lamps are lit. And the head is bowed in a silent prayer; When nightfall ' s deepening shadow brings with it No more the accustomed footstep on the stair. Think of me when the festal bowl goes round. And jocund mirth his ready smile displays When minstrel ' s song and jester ' s laugh has drowned The cherished memories of other days.

Hall. 193 Metropolitan Lexington jfi S the fast express comes curveting briskly around the bend at a vAsImiII remarkable rate of speed from East Lexington, only a casual glance can be cast upon the historic pile of tin cans behind the V. M. I. barracks before the benevolent profile of Old George looms upon the horizon. With a few warning, spasmodic toots, the observation coach is backed mto the Union Depot and the tram slowly pauses in its uncertain flight. Lacking the necessary energy to stop quickly, that disagreeable jolting and jarrmg, common to most public carriers, is nicel) ' obviated. Carr ' ing out the old Virginia traditions of courtesy, accomodation is the soul of the C. O. serxice in these parts. When between stations only a wave of the hand to the en- gineer is required to halt the Virginia Creeper in its sublime course. Perhaps the first thing that strikes the stranger on entering Lexington is the almost frolicsome liveliness of the place. No one can fail to see progressiveness written on every block ot the neatly paved streets, on the towering sky-scrapers, or the magnificent department stores. One is visibly impressed with the businessfied look of the wide-awake citizens hurr}ing to and fro on the public thoroughfares. In business, competition is very marked, and great rivalry exists between the different merchants (as to who will take the stranger in first). At Disenterrys the attractions are in the shape of Morris chairs and diamond rings given away gratis with every drink of soda; at the drugstore, suit-cases for the same purpose, while Ach-O in despair contemplates putting up a baby grand piano with each bag of peanuts. Along other lines must be noted the marvelous rapidity of construction as evi- denced by the new Presbyterian Sunday School building, which was begun only last August and is now almost ready for the skilled mechanics to start on the interior. Great economic principles are illustrated in the control of municipal affairs. When the moon is scheduled to feast its mellow ra) ' s on these enchanted scenes the arc- lights are cut off, and nature, good-naturedly, is allowed to do the work. If, perchance, it be a cloudy night, that is very unfortunate for the pedestrian, as electricity cannot be vasted, even if nature does not fulfill her contract. Noteworthy improvements 194 are observed in the manipulation of the mails, over other towns. The clerk exercises wonderful ease and facilit ' — principalh ' ease — m servmg the general public. No one is kept waiting more than fifteen minutes after asking for his mail, while the loquacious one converses with friends and reads your post cards. More than any other evidence of progress is the fact that the town supports two live newspapers. The Rockbridge County Bubble and the Lexington Gazoote vie with each other in being the first to publish the news received direct from the Associated Press. Moreover, with its efficient police protection and its expeditious fire department Lexington not unworthih- can la ' claim to being a metropolis of the first ivater. We say first icatcr and pronounce the H2O feelingly, for it can be well said that there is water, water everywhere, but nothing else to drink. It has been repeated that if anyone inclines from the perpendicular paths of rectitude in this urb he would do so anywhere. In truth, the wordh ' attractions are limited to a ver - conspicuous extent. Of course, there is the opera house, which has not yet been burned down by the ardent prayers of the dear old ladies, but there you find onh ' the highest type of classical plays. The incentive given by Faust to finrr things has not e en yet passed entirely awaw . ' lthough there are numerous blind tigers loose on the populace, the town is considered dr - f or all practicable purposes. Dry as the sands of the dreary wastes of Sahara — from the professors ' jokes to — the students throats. Lexington, our belo ed. abounds in gorgeous natural scener . and to the credit of the townsfolk ma - it be said that they are in no wise responsible for this. It was here some little time before their Scotch ancestors stopped long enough in Ireland to absorb the title of Scotch-Irish before coming to this country. There are many spots of historic interest situated here or hereabouts. Who has not heard of Uncle JefF, ' the Boom Hotel, Ach-O [not a breakfast food, bu t the students friend, who needs no advertising], and the Cemetery? We venture to sa ' that no well- informed American citizen has neglected his store of information to such an extent. Nevertheless, surrounded with all this grandeur and sublimit , we iew with alarm the rising tendency toward metropolitan Lexington, fearing the influence of cit ' life upon the morals of the students. 195 14 Lover ' s Leap ho climbed the blue Virginia hilL Against embattled foes; And planted there, in valle s fair, The lil and the rose; hose fragrance ]i es in man ' lands, Whose beaut ' stars the earth. And lights the hearths of happ} ' homes W ith loveliness and worth. Francis O. Ticknor. 196 5 A Letter Lexington, Va., Sept. 14. 1906. Dear Dad: I have just arrived at this historic place where I am to spend four years, more or less. Let us hope it will be less. The railway service was fair until we reached South Glasgow, where we changed to the Missmg Lmk that connects these twm cities. At South Glasgow a man rode up on horseback and bought a ticket to Lexington, a parlor-car ticket, and desired to have his horse shipped to Lexington. The station agent was bus - and told him to put his horse on the train himself. He did, and then crawled aboard. We had not much more than started when the conductor stopped the train and made the man and the horse change places. He had put the horse in the parlor car and was sitting in the horse car reading the paper. I do not see why thev do not label the cars so as to prevent mistakes. We were soon running at full speed, when the train suddenly stopped, throwing us from our seats. We went to see what was the matter and saw the engineer pur- suing a snapping turtle down the track. The turtle escaped, and when the conductor came around I asked him what was the official designation ot our train. He seemed to feel hurt by m ' ignorance and informed me that I had the honor as well as the pleasure to be traveling on the Original Virginia Creeper. It is really remarkable how many large cities there are in this section of the country. The people must all drink the same kind of beer, for at every station the train stopped at, for several hours, there was a similar beer sign in tront of each station. I made a remark to that efTect to a middle-aged man who was sitting by me. He tried to impose on me because I am a Freshman and said that we had been stopping at the same place all the time, and that it was the same beer sign that we were looking at. Then he pointed out a well fed looking man who was smoking a cheroot. Why does that man smoke those cigars. ' he asked. I had to confess that I could not see wh ' an ' man would smoke cigars like the one that man was smoking. Well he said, he has a purpose in doing it. You see, he is the president of a famous institution and very much of a hustler. He goes around among the planters and the commercial men of the state, and they say, ' just see how he patronizes home industry. ' Then the old veterans see him and sav, ' He is a man after our own heart, So lo al to the Old Dominion that he will smoke nothing hut Old Virginia cheroots. ' Thus, you see, he makes himself solid with the masses, and when he goes after cap- italists he hits them for a good-sized sum and gives them a cigar to smoke while they are considering the proposition. The capitalist smokes awhile in silence and then says, ' If you, the president, smoke cigars like this, you surelv must need the money. Here is my check. ' So you see it pays him. We stopped at East Lexington and could not start until the engineer stuck his head out of the cab and said something to the conductor. The conductor then shouted Ladies, will you please hold up ' our feet! There was a bev}- of Lexington belles on the train, who obe ' ed, and the train instantly started. I understand that last year one of the fellows was taking a Greek exam when the train left Lexington. He finished his paper, went to his boarding house, packed his suit case, walked to East Lexington and caught the train. Now, at least half a dozen fellows have vouched tor this statement, so I suppose it is true. Finalh ' , there being no more track, the train stopped, and all who were not seasick got out. There stood a station and a few scrubb ' houses. A Freshman walked up to the station agent and asked, Can you tell me if this is Lexington? The agent ignored him. He walked around the corner of the station, looked at a sign, and shouted, Come over here, fellows. It is Lexington on this side. They say Lexington is time-honored, historic, battle-scarred. Judging from the scars, there must have been some terrific battles fought here. I have not had time to see much of the city yet, and will describe it in my next letter. I have learned that some of the people here are afHicted with something they call ancestors. I do not know the exact nature of the disease, but as soon as I find out I will let ou know. I asked m ' friend about it on the train, and he said a lot of words about a fellow by the name of Darwin, who said that ancestors were monkeys. This did not satisf ' me, so I called the little colored boy that waits on the table to one side, and asked him what he understood was ancestors. Lord, man, ' he said, dats wot de F. F. .s got. I must close. With much love to you and mother, Your son. Bill. 199 L ' Amour Invincible (From Solomon ' s Song). Shelomoh (King Solomon).  Shulamith (the Shulamite).

Shelomoh Like the valley ' s fair lily and Sharon ' s sweet rose Thou art peerless m grace and in beauty, my dove; Come, haste to my shadow for blissful repose, And I will spread o ' er thee a banner of love. Thou hast ravish ' d my heart, most enchanting of maids. With thine eyes dark and dazzling, thy hair ' s rippling wave, O Eloah! why is it that loveliness fades, And creation ' s best music is stilled in the grave ? Abdallah Rise up from thy slumber, my dearest, mine own, And away — for the frost of the winter is past; Let us breathe out our passion in love ' s sweetest tone, For the chill rain is over and life ' s flitting fast. The flowers appear on the wakening earth; Let us clasp, ere they wither, their blooms in our hand; The song-birds are here — nature echoes their mirth. And the voice of the turtle-dove rings through the land. My beloved! that art in the clefts of the rock. That hidest th self all alone in the stair. Come, kiss me, thy form in mine arms let me lock, hlle I hear th ' soft voice — see thy countenance fair. Thou art beautiful, love, as an angel of God, As an army with banners thy smile seems to me; Thou art lovely, my bride, as the blossoms which nod And sway in the zephyr; and whisper of thee.

There is a mayor in our town And he is wondrous kind, A smile to him is as much as a wound While a laugh costs a two-dollar fine! I do not love thee, Doctor Ciss, The reason is obvious, though I wiss To say it out would be amiss; I do not love thee, Doctor Ciss. And what is so wet as a day in June ? Then, it ever, come rainy days; Then Heaven tries earth if she be in tune, And over it softly a drizzle lays; Whither we look or whither we listen We hear showers murmur or see pools glisten. Every cloud feels a stir of might; An instinct within it to let out a downpour. And, passing grandly above in full flight. Takes out her plug and sends down some more. C. E. D. f OH, FRESH ! Stop, Look, Listen! AT a recent meetine: of the SOPHOMORE class the fol- lowing proclamation was drawn up for next year ' s Freshmen : All ye 2:reen and unsophisticated Freshmen, lest your babyish ways should arouse the anger of men, TITE SOPHOMORES, read and mark well the following, that your ways may be soft and easy in the paths of learning: 1. All infants of the kindergarten class, who have donned long trousers, upon their arrival at this Fountain of Learning, must not turn up the aforesaid pantaloons. 2. Heed, ye sucklings, when you enter the campus of your future Alma Mat r make use of the time-honored turnstile; return through the ancient gate. In brief, keep to the right. 3. Children should be seen and not heard. There- fore, cease indulging in boyish shrieks and cries for 1910. 4. Let no Freshman be seen leavirw the walks m order to save time. Get up earlier. KEEP OFF THE QRA5S. 5. PING-PONG and CHECKERS shall be your pas- time, so let no member of the Freshman class be seen in the INIQUITOUS DENS of John LaRowe or Squire Gran- ger, until after the 30th of September. 6. Profanity should not soil the lips of the babes and chits of 1910. 7. More d n ' ts that must be observed by Freshmen: 1. Don ' t congregate around the bulletin boards. 2. Don ' t use tobacco on the grounds of the Uni- versity. 3. Don ' t wear a derby on the grounds of the Uni- versity. 4. DON ' T BE FRESH.

It was a distinct shock to each of us who had known him, andleft its pang ot regret. It seemed impossible that we would know no more the Doctor ' s kindl - greeting to evervone. His was a face we learned to love in the years that are gone, familiar in the tedious routine, with a smile in the moment of jov and help in the hour ot need. It was he who inspired us b his example to become efficient students and true men — an example to be emulated and one governed by the thoughts ot a Christian gentleman. Because of his virtues, we respected him; because of his human s -mpathv, we loved him. Truh ' , he was one of God ' s elect. On January 19, iqoj.was celebrated at Washington and Lee University the centennial ot the birth of Lee. In testimony of the esteem in which his memory is held in all sections of the countr - the orator of the da - was Charles Francis Adams, of Massachusetts, who deli ered a beautiful and just tribute to the Southern hero. We have endeavored to add our mite to the occasion bv dedicating this volume of the Calyx to the memor - of Lee, and we wish to express our appreciation to the Lowell Bank Note Co., of Boston Mass., for their kindness in furnishing us with the portrait of Gen. Lee shown in the front of this volume. Miss Mary Lee, daughter ot Gen. Lee, considers it the best portrait of her father ever published. Robert Edward Lee — essentiall - a Man of Character.

Motto: Growth: Advantages: Expenses: POINTS FOR PARENTS Thorough Instruction under Positive Christian Influence, at the Lowest Possible Cost In the opening year, 1894, there were 29 boarders, 6 officers and teachers, a campus of six acres, and a school plant valued at $25,000. In 1907 there are 303 boarders, and 90 day pupils, 31 officers and teachers, a campus of 34 acres, and a school plant valued at $120,000. What explains this continuous, extraordinary growth? Modern brick building, with electric lights; water on every floor; $30,000 spent in improvements for the coming session; Faculty trained in the best schools, all living in the building with the girls; unusual advantages in music; normal depart- ment for the training of teachers; cheerful, wholesome, and inspiring Christian influence. No increase in expenses, notwithstanding the general in- crease in the cost of living: $150X0 pays all charges for the year, including table board, room, lights, steam heat, laundry, medical attention, physical culture, and tuition in all subjects, except music and elocution.

A composition for cheapness, and not for excellence of workmanship, is the most frequent and certain cause of the rapid decay and entire destruc- tion o f arts and manufactures. — Ruskin UR claim to your considera- tion lies in the fact that we have applied to our own business the thought contained in this quotation from one of the world ' s greatest thinkers and practical workers. If there is anything attractive beyond the ordinary, in the page arrangement, cover decoration, presswork, and general harmony which distinguish our work, be assured it has not been due to chance. We leave nothing to chance. Every line, page, volume, as it comes from our establishment is the result of a carefully laid, con- scientiously executed plan. The thought and the super- vision which our system provides is your guarantee of excellence. If you have anything to be printed, write us; if we undertake it we w ill do it well.
