VER a centur]) and a half ago there was created The first classical school in the Vallev of Virginia. There in a little log school-house learned preceptors began their heroic strug- gles in the cause of education. From this humble beginning has grown and exists today, still beneath the shelter of the Old Dominion s mountains, a great, thriving Universitv. For the hand of fate has dealt gently with the efforts of these sturdy founders and has given to their hopes an undreamed realization. Since the memorable days of 1749 when Washington and Lee was born, not a decade has passed but has added luster to her glory and renown to her fame. Great good men, whose names have been immortalized in our country ' s history, have come to her in her hours of need and have blessed her with their friendship and with their individual efforts. Ideals that once seemed but vain fantasies have been crys- tallized into custom. Hopes that Were as intangible as the blurred moonlight, have become actualities. Deeds of heroism and sacrifice that passed as naught have become cherished traditions. t y » Ah, yes, Washington and Lee glories in her past, but with hopeful, expect- ant eye she turns to the future. She stands today on the threshold of the most vital step of her life. In the voiceless supplication of a mother ' s love she be- seeches you, her sons, to forget not your duty. Before her stretches a vista of growth and progress and usefulness such as will lead to a realization of her fondest desires. Feeble as is our vision of this future, but strengthened by the fire of love, we have caught a glimpse of what is in store for our Alma Mater. We believe in her future as we honor and respect her past. Hoping then that in these pages each reader may find cause for a greater reverence for the Wash- ington and Lee of long ago, and a greater ambition for the Washington and Lee of the future, we dedicate this volume Uo The Greater UniVersitt; THE EDITORS
