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.

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.
