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

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.
