BY SENATOR GEO. WHEN I arrived at Lexington, in 1872, one of the first students I met was John L. Campbell, and it has been a source of pride and pleasure to me that during four years of intimacy as a student, and in all the intervening years nothing has ever happened to interrupt the warm friendship of our younger days. I have had an occasional correspondence with him since I bade him good-bye in 1876, but I have only met him once in all the years that have elapsed since then. He is the same John L. Campbell today that he was more than a third of a century ago. There was a peculiar charm about him as a young man which attracted the stranger to him. He has not lost that charm in his maturer years. His presence invited confidence then ; it invites it now, and, as m those days, no one applied to him in vain for information, assistance or advice ; so it is today and has been ever since his connection with his Alma Mater as Secretary and Treasurer. We, of the older days at Washington and Lee, loved John L. Campbell for his splendid qualities of head and heart. The faculty and oificers loved him for the same reasons and, further, because he was a faithful student, a magnificent example of a Christian gentleman and a splendid type of the chivalrous spirit which characterized the old South. He impressed himself upon all who came in contact with him as one of nature ' s noblemen. He is leaving his impress upon the student body today. The good he has done will live after him, and it is most fitting that we keep not our kisses for his dead, cold brow. I rejoice at the opportunity afforded me to join with the student body of my dear Alma Mater in paying this slight tribute to the worth of its present Secretary and Treasurer. May he be with us through many years to come. ALMA MATER By C, A, ROBBINS Like clouds across a silver lake The years roll by, are gone; Upon our hearts reflections make And raise again the storm Of thoughts, of pent up feelings dead ; Gently blowing from the past A breeze on recollections fed. Of thee, Alma Mater, truly chaste. Oh, dreams of fair illusive youth, The world treats thee with scorn. Ideals, celestial fires in truth. Last but through the morn. Cruel world, a boon 1 beg of thee : All else I ' ll gladly barter. Leave but my memory Of youth and ALMA MATER. TFY ' WffiS JOHN LYLE CAMPBELL. LL. B.. 1877. Secretary antl Treasurer Lexington.

Being indigenous to the campus architecture he got in on the ground floor and ' landed ' the presidency of the freshman clafs in lOO. !. The following year he managed a succef.sful football team and received the monogram therefor. Deviating a little from politics, he became a member of the Cotillion Club. In succeeding years he became secretary for the Student Body, and Executive Committeeman and President of the graduating cla. s of 1909. John is a good, all-round fellow, nothing short, but a little too long at one end. JOHN HART LYLE. II K A Brownsburg. Va. Young Lochinvar overcame all opposition at Hampden-Sidney with such ease that he soon rode his charger in search of new tourneys at Washington and Lee, but the strenuous lite he found here has made him desert even his good steed for a brief space until he rides out into the world with flying colors and a modernized ■ ' Golden Fleece. ' ' WILLIAM THEODORE DELAPLAINE, o N Frederick. Md. Teddy ' s biography began at Frederick, Md., a few years ago; may the end of it be far oil. His accomplishments even in this .short time would till volumes. He first shone at Frederick High School where he graduated as valedictorian. Wil liam then decided that proper conipanioiisliip could be found only at W. L. Here, honors have been heaped upon him, among which we will only mention the Birely Scholarship and a place as debater for Graham-Lee. And last but not least secretary of the Senior class of 1909. % DEVALL LANGHORNE GWATHMEY, K A.ll Norfolk. Va. This rising young genius first became conspic- uous in the role of the Merry Widow in the Panic Opera. He has flown oif in various tan- gents from the sphere of college life as associate editor of the CALYX in ' 08, and ' did ' the soci ety department for the RING TUM PHI in ' 09. He also has the treasury portfolio of the Cotil- lion Club. There is something artistic about • ' Gwath, ' ' as will appear on surrounding pages. GOD PITY POOR EDITORS -he is the perpe trator of this book. CHALMERS HALE MOORE, l. K Birmingham, Ala. ' ' Quinque ' ' came in as a member of the fa- mous ' 10 class, but he stole a march on father time and gets out a year ahead of the brood. Chalmers showed great athletic prowess in his freshman year, and was a member of the pioneer Varsity basket-ball team. He has ' sewed up ' enough points for his degree, and will study med- icine next year. JOHN WILLIAM CLAUDY. A 1 I ' Baltimore. Maryland. Bill arrived as a Freshman in the fall of 190. , and little thought it was to be his fate to strug- gle with the business end of this volume. Ever fince he has been here he has set a lively pace not only as the manager of the track team of 06 ' 07. but as director of the Mandolin Club of ' 08- ' 09. He expects to become a tiger next year, r.nd exchange the White and Blue for the Orange : ud Black. ri F RANK McCUTCHAN. JR.. B. A., ■!• I Rogersviile. Tenn. ' Mac ' is known to all as the genial gym. in- structor. This wiry athlete won the medal for the flying rings in the gymnasium exhibition in 190. ' ' , thus making his debut. Since then he has been captain of the gym. team, and winner of the ' all-round ' cup in 1907. For recreation ' Mac ' takes several heavy ' •tickets ' each year. He is now a candidate for Master of Arts, and we wish him well. WILLIAM LELAND LORD Anchorage, Ky. This aspiring individual is after a master ' s degree before anchoring in his native State. He entered here in 1904, and by reason of his long sojourn has become as familiar an object as old George. ' ' Along with the pursuit of his studies he has made the following acquisitions: James J. White scholarship in 1905; Mapleson scholar- ship in 1907: an assistantship in English in 1907- ' 08- ' 09: and the secretaryship of the class of ' 07. Not satiffied with the mysteries of this mundane sphere, he will go beneath the surface and write a thesis on the ' ' Three Literary Con- ceptions of His Satanic Majesty. ' ' EARLE KERR PAXTON, B. A. Buena ' Vista, ' Va. ' Eke ' is a native product. He entered l:ere in lOO, } and received his bachelor ' s degree in 1908 By virtue of his nativity and scholastic attain ments he received the Franklin Society Scholar ship in 1907, accompanying this was an assistant ship in physics. He was secretary of the Gra ham-Lee Literary Society in 1908. He is a can didate for the M. A. degree this year. WILFRED ELDRED Norfolk, Virginia. •Oh, hell, what have we here! ' Forsooth, an omniscient lion of knowledge. This precocious youth hails from the Norfolk High School, and arrived here in 19U6. He annexed the Taylor scholarship in ' 07, the Early English Text Soci ety ' s Prize in ' 08, an assistantship in French and is business manager of the COLLEGIAN He has been a consistent member of the Harry Lee Boat Club and the Washington Literary So ciety. We think he intends to be a pedagog ie E KESTER WALKER DENMAN. i Lufkin. Texas. This young prodigy hails from the Lone Star State. He blew in here on a Sou ' wester in 190. ' ) and straightway identified himself as a shark. He was associate editor of the RING-TUM PHI in 1907, and historian of the junior class in It is a safe bet that he will get his degree in June. r; JOSEPH TALIAFERRO LYKES, l A ( S. B. C. Tampa, Fla. After a short sojourn at the University of Florida, this ' gator crawled north and stopped at W. L. in ' 06. He managed the football team of ' 08, as well as everything else he has tried, and was secretary and treasurer of Junior class of ' 09. We can only hope that the world will like him as well as we have. And we are sure that it will as soon as it hears his laugh, which is so irresistible that we fear it would endanger the stoicism of the Sphinx. CHARLES SPEARS GLASGOW, ■!• I A. 1 Lexington, Virginia. Spear.s was originally a native product, but owing to frequent trips to the Hill City he has almost become like imto a stranger in his native land, and the fuss and feathers of his Fresh- man days have been concealed under the more sober garb of the Senior. Charlie has been fre- cjuently honored by his fellow students with high offices in his class, and in the Student Body organization. He helped gain the palm leaf for the Harry Lees ' in the Regatta of 1908, and by persistent ' ' rah, rahs he has piled up many a score on the side lines for the White and Blue. 31 CROWELL DAWKINS Tallahassee, Fla. This specimen of the fauna of Florida has blos- somed spasmodically on the classical horizon for the last four years. Crow attended Florida State College until it was changed into a female institution, whereupon he decided to seek adven tares further North. During his first few years here he was (luite a calico . !hark. until the ladies decided that ' ' Crow ' ' feet could not be tolerated. Hercules is also a gymua-st, and has a medal he won on the flying rings. He will probably re turn next year and teach the young men how to do similar stunts. f! GORMAN LANTEE BUSSARD Middletown. Md. This young fowl first cracked his shell and burst into this world at Middletown in Septeni ber, 1888. After a period of dormancy he walked or rather flew ofl with a diploma from the High School of his native town. In the fall of 190(3. as the weather began to get cool, he migrated Southward as far as Washington and Lee. Since then his visitations here have been regulrr. His activities have been confined to the cla s room. Washington Society, and Mary- land Club, but in each of these he soars high. He is confident of getting his sheepskin in June, and of not beinj hen-pecked in after life. 32 LEVI THOMAS WILSON Joiiesboro, Ark. He made his first appearance on the day be- fore Santa Glaus in 1885. His first words were -zity er s b, a truly prophetic utterance. After learning all he could at Woodland College, in his home town, he came to W. L. Since his ar- rival here he has absorbed a great deal and kept (luiet about it. He walked off with the Taylor Scholarship in Math, last year, and is amusing himself with differential equations now. His degree is a mathematical certainty. CHARLES WATKINS Morristown, Tenn. One of the permanent fixtures of the Chemical Laboratory. The first thing to be seen is an old pipe, and right behind it is Wat. Wat has made a good record, and has several certificates to show for it. He expects to take a Ph. D. in Chemistry later. We are gird of this, as the Lab. could hardly get along without him. FREDERICK D. STEVENSON Williamson, W. Va. Fred was bom Nov. 1, just in time to run for the presidency in 1884. The cause of his defeat was youthful ine.xperience. Disappointed in his native State, he went to West Virginia and at- tended William.son Presbyterial Academy. He must have gotten all the ' ' larnin ' they had, as the Academy closed its doors soon after he left. He was a freshman here in 190. ' ), and the next year fell out with one of the professors over one-tenth of a point. We hear, however, that they have since effected a compromise. Steve has been a prominent member of Graham-Lee and Y. M. C. A. He expects to study for the ministry at Union Theological Seminary next year. S ROBERT STERRETT Ilightown, Va. Robert hrst appeared in the arena of action in Highland County in ISS. ' j. He graduated at Shen andoah College, Reliance, Va., in 1905 and came to W. L. that same year. He has managed to collect enough credits for his degree in three years and a half, and is now teaching in St. Al ban ' s School at Radford. Sterrett is a good fel low, and we wish him all success. r; CLEON SCOTT OSBOURN, K i:.. S. B. C. iJ Shenandoah Junction, W. Va. Valedictorian. How inadequate is the power of mere words when we attempt to depict in one short para- graph the career of this praeclarus invenis! Those of us who were freshmen in ' 05 know what Pat was when he came here from the wilds of West Virginia. Subtract this from the Pat of today and the result is — twice presi- dent of his class, twice president of Y. M. C. A., and general secretary of that organization this year, a member of executive committee and chairman of athletic committee, a star on the football and basket-ball teams for three years, and the Harry Lee Boat Crew three years, win- ner of Henry Hall Medal in ' 08, and valedicto- rian of ' 09. Truly an all-round man. JOSEPH ED ' WIN PIPER Strasburg, Va. This unassuming youth came here from Stras- burg High School. His first appearance upon this mundane sphere was some eighteen years prior to his arrival here in 1906. His accom- plishments have been literary rather than sci entific, and from the ability he has shown in Oral Debates, we predict that some day Joe will be a great ' ' political orator. 35 HARTWELL STANSBURG ADKINS Salisbury, Md. This youth is evidently a genius, as he devotes only two years to getting his A. B. He brought a good record with him from prep, school, and has lived up to it since coming here. He has been vice president of Graham-Lee, and is a member of an intercollegiate debating team this year. After tacking a couple of initials on the end of his name he will teach the youth of the country what he has learned here. RALPH HEDRICK BADER McGaheysville, Va. Ralph was born at McGaheysville in 1888. He is the only evidence we have that there is such a place on the map. He attended tl;e High School of the aforesaid metropolis, and on his first excursion from home stopped at W. L. It is predicted on good authority that he will crawl out of his hole about June 16 and go back to McGaheysville with a sheepskin. 36 LAW LAMAE, JR., 804 Church St.. Selma On August 28, 1888, the population of Selma was materially increased, for ' twas then that Law Lamar II made his entrance into this cruel world. After receiving a dip. at Selma Military- Institute he decided to bestow his talents on W. L. Do not judge his importance by his appearance, though even then it would be con- siderable. Since his arrival here in 1906, Law has shown much interest in his class, especially in class athletics. ALBERT AUGUSTUS KITTREDGE Lake Charles, La. Though born in the Lone Star State, ' ' Kit ' ' spent his early years in the swamps of Louis- iana. He got a diploma from Lake Charles High School and promptly brought it to show to ' ' Mike. He takes his degree here in three years, is a good fellow, and is exceedingly well known — to his room-mates. Kit hopes to take an M. A. later on. HAROLD HOUSTON LEACH Altlci-hon. W. Va. Mr. Leach was born ' ' not many generations ago at Link ' s Grove, W. Va. His general ap- pearance indicates that he was raised on a farm. After investigating two or three prep, schools he entered W. L. in 1905. Harold intends to enter the ministry, though you would never be- lieve it had you seen him execute a clog dance. His oratorical abilities are fully attested by his speech as final orator for Graham-Lee in 1908, and his oration before the senior class in favor of a dry banquet. The latter will be handed down to posterity along with Demosthenes ' Ora tion on the Crown. 7 BENJAMIN FRANKLIN LUKEK Proctor, Texas. Ben.laniin learned to ride ponies early m life and when he had exhausted the faculty of John Tarletou College he made his way Northward. No one knows how he got here, but it is sug gested that he followed in the wake of a wheel- barrow, after the manner of his namesake. Ben has done good work with his feet as well as with his head, and will have no trouble getting his degree. r; ROBERT McELWEE FIREBAUGH Rockbridge Baths. Va. Like the reaper and the sewing machine. Bob is also a native of Rockbridge county, where, after roaming the wilds awhile, he made the journey to Lexington in 1904 and joined the University. ' ' Bob has been prominent in Y. M. C. A. work, and was leader of the Volunteer Band last year. Without doubt he will make good in his chosen profession — whatever it may turn out to be. LAWRENCE CARLTON CALDWELL McCool. Miss. He is called Shorty for short. Do not imag ine, howevei ' , that this describes either his stat- ure or his laugh, for there is nothing short about Shorty. He was born in Choctaw county. Mis- sissippi, in the month of the war god, 188. ' j. This fact and the name of his native county probably account for his belligerent inclinations. After attending French Academy two years, Shorty came to W. L., where he has spent most of his time in the meetings of Graham-Lee and Missis- sippi Club. HENRY LEWIN MARKWOOD Wardensville. W. Va. This deep-voiced youth first croaked in Mon terey, Va., in 1884. Having found Dunsmore Business College and Randolph-Macon Academy too small for his spreading genius, he came to W. L. in 1905, whore he has spent most of his time bluffing the profs., and has succeeded well enough to make sure of his degree in June. VICTOR JOHN HEARD Camp Hill, Ala. Victor was born Dec. 19, 1886. He attended Southern Industrial Institute a while, and en tered W. L. in 1906. He isn ' t very loud, but has managed to make himself heard by the fac- ulty enough to earn his degree. Can be found either in Newcomb Hall or on the baseball field. He says he will probably take his sheepskin South and study l iw at the University of Ala bama next year. 40 k- AMOS LEE HEROLD Sunset, W. Va. Mill Gap, Va., will some day be famous as his birthplace, aud the anniversary of Aug. 8, IBS. ' ?, will most probably be a national holiday. Amos attended High School m Lewisburg, W. Va., and taught two or three years. He then decided tliat according to the natural order of things, acquisition should precede dispensation of knowledge. Therefore he came to W. L. in 1906. He was cue of the ninety-nine debaters — no, a debater at the ninety-ninth celebration — of Graham-Lee. That he i s a Greek shark is shown by his winning the James J. White Scholarship. Whatever he may undertake in the future his classmates have no fear for his success. WILEY BISH HAMPTON Fordyce, Ark. This traveler has journeyed through this weary world about twenty years, having made his first appearance on the Western praries. where he investigated Clay Training School and Arkansas College, but found them wanting, and accordingly came to W. L. in 1906. After discarding his academic costume, Bish expects to stop rolling billiard balls and roll logs. SAMUEL GWYNN COE Elkton, Va. Samuel was born in Blacksburg, Va., ten years before the blowing up of the Maine. After at tending Randolph-Macon Academy two years he entered W. L. with the class of ' 10. He found himself too good for that class, however, and soon foiuid congenial associates among the ■■naughty-nines. Sam has done credit to his cla.ss in the class-room and in athletics, and will get his degree without trouble. SAMUEL NEIL HOSHOUR Staunton, Va. Of the early period of this youthful prodi gy ' s life we know little. From subsequent re suits, however, we deduce that it was well em ployed. He was born in 1889, and graduated with first honor at Staunton High School soon after. He then managed to escape the various asylums of his home town and came South a few miles to W. L. Two years have been enough for him to spend in getting his A. B., and we hope he may overcome all obstacles in the future as easily as in the past. 42 r; ANDREW BYRON CONNOR East Lexington, Va. Most of us are satisfied with one A. B., but t his ambitious young man wants one on each end of his name. The first was bestowed on him somewhere in Rockbrdge county in 1889, and the second he hopes to get in June. After learning his ' ' A. B. C. ' s at Lexington High School Byron walked around the corner to W. L. His timid manner is partly natural and partly in- duced by the injection of too much learning while (luite young. The faculty encouraged him somewhat by giving him part of the Franklin Scholarship in ' 08. He is not, however, satisfied with this accomplishment, but will later make Tucker Hall his headquarters. BERNARD McDOWELL KRUG, 1 Sao Paulo, Brazil. Bernard first saw the light at some unpro- nounceable place south of the Equator. How he got to North America is not known, but the records show that he went to Woodberry For- est, and that he was a star on the track team there. Bern ard also ran at W. L. Since his arrival here in 1906 he has spent a large part of his time studying dry goods, especially calico. After getting his degree he will learn enough about medicine to go back and astonish the natives. GEORGE THURMAN KNOTE, Ji T A . S. T.. C National Boulevard. Wheeling, W. Va. On Sept. 10, 1887. a small bundle was seen floating along with other debris dowii the Ohio River. When a rescue was effected it was found to be none other than the present subject of dis- cussion. Roger attended Wheeling High School and DavisElkins College before entering W. L. in 1906. He played a good game as (luarter-back on the ' 07 ' Varsity until forced by injuries to retire. His friends will be glad to see him when he comes back to take law. JOHN PRESTON IRWIN Lexington. Va. John is a native by adoption. He came here a little before ■William Jenny ' made his first arrangements for the presidency. He is the au- thor of these histories, which from their exten sive scope, are calculated to rival the achieve ments of one Ridpath. John has done some en gineering work, and he expects to follow it up after getting his degree. SAMUEL BROWN MORRISON GHISELIN, I 1 l ' Prado 67, Havana, Cuba. Shepherdstowii, W. Va., has first claim on this precocious young man, and that is still his home address. After attending Shenandoah Valley Academy Sam turned a back flip and set out for W. L. Since his arrival here he has taken everything that wasn ' t nailed down. His ac- complishments are too multitudinous for enumer- ation. One of them was winning the most diffi- cult monogram W. L. gives. He has man- aged to rake in enough points for his degree, and is occupied at present in the Y. M. C. A. at Havana, teaching the young Cubans a few W. L. stunts. After getting his dip. here in June he expects to study medicine. Annie ' ' used to entertain us with wonder- ful accounts of his piscatorial adventures, but not producing sufficient endorsement of these tales, the result was that he was caught with his own line and sentenced to life membership in the ■ ' Ananias Club. ' ' But later, by virtue of his good behavior, the sentence was commuted, and the name curtailed to Annie. Stras has been going some since he made his debut here in ' 05, and he waltzed into the Cotillion Club soon after. Later he stopped long enough to take on the managership of the basket-ball team in 1908, and also of the baseball team in 1909. He is a good representative of the Onsis State, and we all like him. WILLIAM EDMOND MOEELAND, H X Homer, La. ■ ' W. E. ' ' happened at Homer. La., on the hast day of the year, 188(5. In the course of time he graduated from Homer High School and entered W. L. in ISOU. He has taken active interest in several branches of college life. Among his honors are the Young Scholarship, and stroke of Albert Sidney second crew. Bill expects to study medicine at Tulane next year. LEON VERNON LARSEN, ■!■ A (l II Nashville, Tenn. Vernon came to college in the fall of ' 0(i, and t!;o his career here has been brief, it has alto been meteoric, and the old ' ' Varsity ' ' will place another statue in her Hall of Fame on his de parture. Far be it from us to attempt to enu- merate Vernon ' s achievements in the literary line, for he has been associated with all the Col- lege publications. We do feel, however, that some recognition should be made to his dramatic genius, for was he not the author of that won- derful musical extravaganza, the Panic Opera? 7. i::; y - z. yp Dran o( ll.r KnginrrTinK Si h K A BPf03 SENIORS GAEL HINTON, 1 N Hinton, W. Va. President. Carl was born in 1885, when names were scarce, so he has managed to live with but one name. After taking the courte at Locust Dale he en- tered W. L. in ' 03. Sickness caused his with- drawal in ' 04, but he was back again in ' 06, and hopes to stay until June and get a degree. He has caught crabs on the river and played on both baseball and football teams of the Senior Engineers, of which he is president. What he expects to do after graduation is unknown. HERMAN WILLIAM ORDEMAN. Frederick, Md. ' ' Windy ' ' was born in Frederick. Maryland, a large and flourishing to ' wn of which Baltimore and Washington are suburbs, so he says. He en- tered the Physics department in ' 0. ' ' ), and is still doing the same. When the Glee and Dramatic Clubs permit him he attends college, and may be found in the ' •Coop at such times, dispensing hot air and giving advice to freshmen. He has been consulted by the pre.sident in regard to the best method of getting the greatest number of points by the least work, and expects to write a book on Bluffing as a Science. If you doubt his literary ability, remember that he is the au thor of these histories. If Mexico is not too lonesome he will try his luck pounding rocks and organizing a fire department. ALGERNON HUSTON CHANDLER. •!• K 1 Harrisonburg. Va. Little Algie .jumped the bounds of Rocking ham in ' 05 and landed on the campus with a de- sire to get a degree in three years or bust. He busted. Thinking that the faculty could be .blutled into giving numerous credits, he worked cheerfully expecting a dainty little B. S. to be tacked on his name in ' 08. Instead he went home marked Handle with Care, C. O. D. But the cat came back and we sincerely trust that the faculty will pass out to him that cov- eted bit of parchment. I LEWIS COLESTON CHAMPE. Lexington. Va. Yes. he was born and raised in Lexington, and like most Lexingtonians, has never been beyond the bounds of Rockbridge. It was his intention to start a summer baseball team, but when W. L. closed for the session he couldn ' t ftnd enough players to remain for the summer. He entered W. L. in ' 05. and has taken part in athletics to the extent allowed to all who take Physics, i. e. ping-pong and checkers. What his expectations are we do not know, but if he ex- pects to follow engineering work he had better stay in the drawing room, for his form is similar to that of a pair of dividers. ROBERT HOOVER SPAHR Smithsburg, Maryland. This specimen of the ladybug was bom some time in 1884 at Cavetowii, Maryland, a little village known for its hooppoles and hard cider. No account can be found of his early education, but he managed to turn up at the ' O. ' i Commence- ment of the Hagerstown High School. He tried teaching school for a session, but gave it up and came to W. L. in ' 06. He was allowed to be president of ' ' The Wash ' ' for one term, and managed to get himself in the Oratorical Con- test. Last year he received the Consolation Prize at Track Meet, and this year is librarian of The Custis Lee. He is undecided as to whether he will start a matrimonial bureau or teach school after getting his B. S. . ' il LAWRENCE MARCUS COLLINS. N I ' Wynne. Ark. Birthplace of Collins has never been brought to light, but the year 1889 will always be re- membered. Lavcsier gave up all hope of further recognition. Fresenius retired and the Curies only fpeak occafionally. He is chief of Dr. Howe ' s band of satellites, and his daily rotation brings him close to his planet. Besides being a chemist, he found time to pay his dues in the Custis Lee and .join the Arkan. ' as Club. Like Sullivan, he managed to get into Arkansas by the process of elimination. If Collins gets a B. S. he may be Dr. Howe ' s succesEor. -ri EWING SLOAN HUMPHREYS, A T ' .; . Lexington, ' Va, Sometime around Easter in 1890 the proverbial rabbit in lieu of leaving a number of various colored eggs in Lexington, left on the desk in the Engineering Department a small bundle of baby flesh labelled ' ' Bunny. ' ' With a golf club m one hand and a life membership card in the hncft equipped lecture room in the world, he en- tered W. L. in 190. ' ). Besides being a member of the Tennis Club he is vice-president of the Cu.?tis Lee Engineering Society, and if he suc- ceeds in mastering Physics will probably drive stakes and carry dinner buckets for some engi- neering corps. 52 r; JOHN MADISON EARL SULLIVAN, Camden, Ark. Bom in Riverside, California, about 1888, and raised everywhere. Sully remained in Cam- den, Arkansas, long enough to get a High School diploma, and then came to Lexington, armed only with a keen curiosity and a draft on New York. He managed to make the Track Team, and in ' 08, when the squad was small, he was elected captain. Sully ' s greatest work in college was his hght against a wet banquet, and to his own surprise he won out. EDGAR RINEHART TAYLOR, n X Century, W. Va. Having lost his label Taylor can ' t state the exact date of his birth, and since he comes from a State where marriage licenses and births are not recorded, he will be compelled to live as well as possible with an approximate age, or about twenty-eight years, which is near enough for all practicrl purpcses. He spent some time at Po tomac Academy and Davis and Elkins College, absorbing all t ' .:e knowledge necessary to pass the entrance exams, at W. L. Being captain of the gymnasium team conflicts with his duties as assistant in Physics, but so far he has managed both to the satisfaction of himself, and his name will go down with those of Dickey and Colaw as the disciples of St. Stevens. THOMAS BERNARD DRISCOLL Baltimore, Md. BerryviUe, Va., claims this diminutive speci men of the masculine gender. When he came to Lexington is unknowTi, but it is supposed he flipped in when the sunset gun at V. M. I. was tired. T. B.. as h e is known to his intimates, is ■■one of them things, or in other words, a shark. He is seldom seen on the campus unless on his way home from Reid Hall at some un earthly hour of the night. If he manages to pull through German II, :e is in fair shape for a de gree. We mean mental shape. JOHN JACOB FORRER. . 1 ' Harrisonburg, Va. Another who has been here four years. Johnny had it all planned out on the train how he would evade the sophs, but on reaching Lexington he found he was only a big Indian in his own tent, and was ■■put through before he had ma- triculated. The fact that he conies from Har- risonburg is enough history. Like Spahr, he is a ladybug, but methinks he has been stung. Wlien he gets his degree he will probably join Onutt, of last year, with the U. S. G. S. Whether his work be cutting bench marks or cleaning chains, we feel sure he will finish it if he is iven time. r-,4 r, r GEORGE ROBERT BURTNER Chrisman, Va. Burtner and the Great Comet appeared simul- taneously in 1887 to the residents of Rockingham county. When but six years old he laid out corn rows with a home-made transit, and soon after was given a diploma at Dayton. While in Har risonburg attending the horse sjiow in 06, he allowed curiosity to get the better of him, and boarding the B. O. tri-weekly he came to Lex- ington. Besides carrying away several scholar- ships, he hopes in course of time to beat Doctor Stevens out of his job. Is his brain fashioned as ours? CHRISTOPHER TOMPKINS CHENERY, !■ A (i S. B. C. ' ! Ashland, Va. This distinguished gentleman began his life as a baby at the same time W. L. opened up for the session of ' 88- ' 89. After bluffing the people at Ashland he made his way to Lexington in 1907 and joined the Junior Engineers. It was once rumored that he was ambitious, but after being initiated into the mysteries of the T. P. ' s and clock-dates, ambition was forgotten. At present he teaches freshmen how to break trans- its, and his spare time is spent on his thesis, which is Beer in Architecture, and how to draw it. RALPH WINFRED BIERER CedarviUe. Va. Ralph is a brother of ■•Johnny. the human logarithm table, who captured a sheepskin in ' UH. From the time of his entrance to the present he has always been known as • ' Freshman. ' ' The reason for the name is obvious when you look at his picture. He is like his brother in one thing, surname; otherwise as different as day and night. Fre-shman and Davis compose the Gold Dust Twins, and when the former goes to M. I. T. it is almost a surety that the latter will aho be there. WILLIAM COUCH DAVIS. JR. West Point, Va. Davis must liave been born on some unchar- tered iiland. No map of Virginia has a spot marked West Point; unless it is the west point of some village, that like Le; ington, is so small as to have two distinct quarters. Davis took a prep, course at McGuire ' s School, Richmond, and came to Lexington in ' O. ' j. He is a firm believer in test problems and Rudolph Konig, which ac- counts for the severe expression on his cherubic physiognomy. Being Secretary of the Custis Lee and Associate Editor of the RING TUM PHI gives him ample recreation from his studies. LAWRENCE WHITE WILSON. A T Cumberland, Md. ■Larry, or Ghiek, hails from Cumber- land, in the good old oyster State. He entered W. L. in ' 07, coming from New York Univer- sity where he had spent two ye.irs. He intended to take football and incidentally engineering, however test problems and squad practice con- flicted on exam, days, so he gave up the pigskin. But not until after he had won the coveted mon- ogram. Ghiek is prominent in all phases of college life, but not in student life. Neverthe- less, here ' s success, because he means well. EDWIN LEROY ALDERSON Baltimore, Md. Dutch was born during the football season of 1888, and has been in the game ever since. He claims Baltimore as his home when the Mary land Club meets, and Penns ylvania as his home when the Calyx assessment is due. After receiv ing six years of football training at McDonough he came to W. L. and completed the course. Not being satisfied with the space alloted Toot- ball news in the RING-TUM PHI. he had Inm relf elected business manager, and this yoa. ' has added two extra pages to the paper. Dutch is the composer of the latest song hit. Ohm. Sweet Ohm, which hit the second term of In termediate Physics. THE CALL OF THE NIGHT The slumber, the stillness, the glooming ' s mystic call, With the magic spell of moonlight softly brooding on the sea, A rippling of the waters that are whispering of thee, And a sighing in the cypress where the dreamful shadows fall. The night wind, the star song, the music of the spheres; And thy voice, i n its beauty, answers softly on the air. From the distant shores of darkness, in the solemn tones of prayer. Comes the chiming of a bell that rings across the rolling years. The vision, the magic, the jeweled sky ablaze ; And thy face is floating near me in the waters silver gleam, Ah! it wafts into the shadows, in the dimness of a dream ; Thy soul has winged its flight again across the starlit ways. The waning, the silence, and 1 am left alone ; A path of light leads to the dying moon across the sea ; An angel voice is luring me into eternity ; My soul fares out along the way across the vast unknown. — Benjamin C. Moomaw, Jr., Ben, Va. Dr„n „l ll,r Low Sh....l LAW JAMES HUBERT PRICE. K i;. ' I ' ■!■ President, Staunton, Virginia. Price rose in West Virginia .iust about the time it was admitted to the Union. It is awful to accuse a fellow classmate of being born in West Virginia, but in justice to him, be it said that as soon as he looked around and saw where he was, he forthwith hurried into Vir- ginia. Price is a good fellow, and one of the ' ' sharks ' ' of his class. He is president of the class, a shriner, knight templar, ' ' militai-y guy ' ' with the rank of captain, and a staunch Demo- crat withall. HARRIE COLE DAMRON Vice-President. Covington, Virginia. Harrie has been likened unto a fence rail, be cause he is — well, not exactly fat. He is better known as ' Long Distance Harrie, being par ticularly fond of farm life, a four-mile walk out to the fann after supper is mere recreation. Harrie says he was not bom in Rockbridge county with that running start, but why not annex some one who was JOHN WESLEY PORTER, JR. Niagara, Kentucky. Tis sad to antagonize the name of the good old fire water State of Kentucky in this way, but as consequences will be, so will facts. John Wesley came to Lexington from the above mentioned State, and what ' s more, he says he in tends to go back there to hang out his shingle. It is said that he is a student, and there is no evidence showing that he will not yet adorn the chair of justice of the peace in his home county before many years. 62 Ki SUMMERS DAVIS.

' ' Monk ' ' took two years in ' ' academics ' ' at W. L., but that ■was too slow for him. or he too fast for it, and he struck Tucker Hall in October, 1908. No doubt he has the makins of a la-wyer, and will be heard from in Kentucky. He will prac- tice in Louisville. CHARLES IRVING CAREY ■I ' H K. H A X. ' 1 ' A ■!■ Hague, Virginia. Boys, quit your kidding and be dignified, for Gladys is glad. He honored William and Mary College with his pretence until they gave him an A. B. degree, then took up his walking cane and came to W. L. He is president of the Y. M. C. A., editor-in-chief of the COLLE- GIAN, and represented W. L. in intercollegi- ate oratorical contest last year. ERASTUS ELMER SKAGGS Pennington Gap. Va. ■ ' Deacon, ' ' when asked for his history said. ' ' I was honi in a log cabin on the foot hills of the Cumberland Mountains. My life has been entirely simple and unmingled with important events. Pennington Gap, amid beautiful moun- tains, crystal streams and green pastures, is where I expect to practice law. I taught in the public schools of Virginia for six years, and in 1907 entered W. L. to become actiuainted with the jealous mistress. 7 ARMSTRONG BARROW. 1 . ' I ' Pine Blull, Arkansas. Barrow arrived in the slow State on February ■J2nd. 1889. Since that day, the 2 ' 2nd of Feb- ruary, each year is celebrated as a State wide holiday. As to whether this day was observed before 1889 the ' ' authorities are divided. He is one Senior lawyer that ab.Tndoned a cigarette before it was half smoked — with a ten cent tine on the end of it RICHARD DANIEL MORALES, () X Tampa, Florida. Dick says, ' T bat him with both hands in DomeEtic Relations, but that Real Property is the real thing. Dick sampled all the Florida Colleges before he came to W. L. He is a Cuban by birth, and a Floridian by choice. He is a two- year man on the Albert Sidney Boat Crew, and a Varsity football player. Bat ' era some more, Dick. ' ' DANIEL KENNARD SADLER, i: •!■ K Booneville, Arkansas. Dan being never on time, arrived on the slow train from Arkansas. When he smiles his mouth is the only visible portion of his face, and the top of his head becomes an island. Dan is one of the students though. He took his A. B. at Arkansas University and one year law at the University of Missouri, but these did not satisfy his vaulting ambition, and he came to Washing- ton and Lee. 65 Ever hear him laugh? If not, you are lucky. He comes from Suffolk, and is now doing all he can to win Minerva ' s Einile. • ' Pret is the soci ety man of the class, and we believe he will make good, both with the calico and the legal ermine. He is an A. B. of W. L., and is in di rect line with a ' •priority lien on nn LL. B. in June. MELVIN ELLEYSON CRUSER, A . V Norfolk, Virginia. The waves of the Atlantic did a good deed when they left upon the Norfolk shore this youth in the fummer cf 188P. Ke spent his earlier days in growing tall, hence his six feet and more. During his two years at Lexington Norfolk has grown very frst. Cruser is an apt student, and popular with all his fellow stu- dents. He has an irrevocable option on his sheepskin in June. VIVIAN OWEN BRACK 1220 Wolfe St., Little Rock, Arkansas. r; To this enthusiastic traveler, all roads, instead of leading to Rome, lead to Arkansas. As soon as this youth graduates he intends to frame a new constitution for Arkansas and codify its laws, leaving out the laws that do net strike his fancy — or, speaking more gently, his understand- ing. Reports are current that Brack is in love. BEIRNE STEDMAN Stuart. Patrick County. Va. Stedman is said to have given utterance to these words on one occasion: Should Fate, the ruler of destiny, make me, too, a lawyer, it is my ambition (though the most fanciful would never suppose it) to he one whose opinion of the law will be sought after and respected. I can see, in flights of fancy, the bench of the Supreme Court, the Governorship and other places of high honor beckoning me on. I, little as I am, have a chance at them. Here ' s looking at you.

' ' Red ' ' has an idea that he will make a great lawyer some day, and even now he is competent to get any one a ' ' writ ol enquiry. ' ' CHARLES NE ELY LEATHERBURY. Norfolk, Virginia. ' ' Leather is one who was never asked a question in his life that he did not know all about. Well, why not, he got his A.

He is a member of the bar of North Carolina. He fays he is neither married nor considering matrimony. Oh. Leather, how co ild you be so hardened! r; JAMES RANDOLPH CASKIE Lynchtmrg, Virginia. Jimmie, oh you kid! He is from Lynch- burg, but probably he can live that down. Jim- mie is right up at the top in his classes, has already plucked an A. B. from W.

He is clerk of the Moot Circuit Court, Rockbridge county, and Southern representative of Wellesley Col- lege, and in addition instructs young Freshmen into the mysteries of x - y. ORANGE WILBUR RICHARDSON, 1 A K Piedmont, West Virginia. Don ' t hurry past, just because you do not like the picture. He can ' t help it. Of course he blames it on the photographer. Rich ' ' is really a good old scout, and is bound to make those West Virginia sit up and take notice when he hangs out his shingle, if he has to pull off his hat and stick that sorrel top out his office window. His father is expecting great things of him. 69 SAMUEL DENTON WARE Murchifon. Texas. In casting abont for suitable descriptive ud jective. I feel myself at a loss when it conies to ■ ' Dean Ware. ' There comes a time in the life of every youth when he takes upon himself un- commissioned authority. One time was enough for this self-appointed Dean. He says he is single, but hopes to go into partnership with some pretty girl in June. Oh. you girl: What a fate! JULIAN GLENWOOD PELTER Christ lansburg, Virginia. When Jumbo was asked for his history, he said: I was born in Franklin county, Virginia, so long ago. I do not remember. In fact, I was very young at the time. Old folks, though, say I am on the wrong side of thirty. Present home, wherever you lind me. I am single, with no pros pects of wedded bliss. Old V. P. I. football player. Life history — Short and simple expe riences of the poor. His weight would seem to indicate insufficient food. He played guard on the football team at 249 stripped. LAURENCE CLAIBORNE WITTEN, II 1 Martinsville, Virginia. Witten is the greatest hot air artist in col- lege. He also smokes. In fact, a pipe seems to be the only thing that will keep his mouth shut. He had so iuuch surplus language to scatter that the law lectures. Moot Court, and standing in front of the bulletin board was not suflRcient, so he was elected editor-in-chief of the RING-TUM PHI and cheer leader. Go West, young man, go West, and seek a livelihood in the wild and wooly. ' ' DAVID ROSS DUNHAM St. Augustine. Florida. This youth, too, had to stop at another school before he found out that Washington and Lee was the place for him. While at Sewanee he found an A. B. degree that some one had lost and brought it here with him. Now he has his eyes open for an LL. B. degree, and if Daddy don ' t watch close he will get it in June, too. ROBERT ALLEN BROWN. A WytheviUe. Virginia, I ' A. •!■ A ' !• Brown is a ' ' Buster ' ' all right until it comes to examinations, he makes those. ' ' Buster ' ' had a vision one day in a pleading lecture, and as a result, he is writing a very weighty treatise on absque hoc. ' ' It will be illustrated, and in two volumes. Yes, he has seen activity in all pha.=es of college life. He was scorer at the Junior Senior baseball game, and cheer leader at the football game between the same two teams, besides being center on the class basket- ball team and a member of the Board of ' Vis itors of Sweet Briar College. ' WILLIAM ELMER DAMERON Hereford, Texas. Beliold here the features of ye college de- bater! Texas ' ' showed his mettle in his junior year by making a place on the anniversary de- bate and inter-society debate of ' Washington Lit- erary Society. Buying himself a new hat, he was elected president of the same society. Now he wears the hat box — the only thing tliat will Ht him — and is a member of one of tlie intercol legiate teams this year. HENRY STAFFORD CALDWELL Jasper, Florida. Say Tom Watson to this black haired, sober Florida youth, and he will talk to you until you are one block out of hearing distance. He can quote to you all Tom Watson hr.s said in the last ten years, how strong he will take in Geor- gia for Governor at next election, why Bryan was defeated in the last three races, and just how Taft was elected, you know. He won the Orator ' s Medal in the Washington Society Celebration this year, and soon after was elected its president. We predict an easy degree for him. GUYTE PIERCE McCORD, i: . i; Historian, Tallahassee, Florida. Mack comes from Tallahassee, Florida — and can go back any time he wants to. As His- torian of his class, Mack felt bashful about writ- ing his own epitaph, and got Rich to do it for him. But when he read the comments he decided an autobiography would do better. So he wrote up a little article which, if true, would have placed him inevitably in the Hall of Fame. But not to have the world at large so basely de ceived, the manager cut it out, and hence we must pass over Mack without learning anything further about his personality. 73 SIMEON COLUMBUS BUMGARNER Alvarado. Washington Co unty. Va. We know Alvarado is a small village, but it seems that it could have done hetter than this. But Bum was not here long before he had something to write home and tell the folks about, for, in his junior year, he represented the Wash ington Literary Society in public debate and made faces at the judges until they gave him the medal to get him to quit. HENRY LESTER HOOKER Secretary and Treasurer, Stuart. Patrick County. Virginia. Hooker should have been a pillar in the Teni pie of knowledge. Here again is raised the ques- tion, can any good thing come from William and Mary College? Hooker is private secre tary to Sunny Jim. He isn ' t all bad though, and is one of those on the front row who is mak ing strenuous .stabs at that LL. B. Here ' s hop ing. He is an ' 09 basket-ball .star. r; WALTER JONATHAN TURNBULL, () Caddo, Oklahoma. ••Chief is an Indian warrior bold and bad. He hails from the ' •Initiative and Referendum ' ' State.

He says the first girl he meets who is looking for the other half will, right then and there, find herself a party to an executory contract. Good luck to you, Chief, and may she have money enough to support you both. CORNELIUS CARTER DAVIS Petersburg, West Virginia. Cornelius Carter is one of the real sharks of the class. He does not croak of- ten, but when he does you need have no doubts; it is law! He even called down Your honor in Moot Circuit Court, Rockbridge county, during one term by sayin, You can ' t do that, Daddy. Being the son of a Baptist minister, he might be tenned a deepwater lawyer. RUBEN RAGLAND, K A. ' I ' ■!■ Petersburg, Virginia. Rube is the financier of this great class. He is president of the imaginary Lexington Trust Company, and more than that, he stuck V. M. I. for a B. S. degree in 1904. commandant St. Charles College, Missouri, in 1904- ' 0. ' ; was assistant professor and adjutant at V. M. I. in 190. ' ' ) ' 06, and now he instructs the W. L. freshmen in the mysteries of Mathematics. Look out you mediocre lawyers and laymen, when ■Rube comes home in June. 7. STANLEY A. BEARD, II K A Houston, Texas. Strange to say, this Texan is a member of the Virginia Bar. His history is most anything. He is the plus darrien continuance of the ' 08 class, and a very valued piece of our inventory, ably assisted by Mr. Boxley. 76 r, mm LAW HISTORY OF THE LAW CLASS OF 1910. To attempt to record even the deeds of major importance which have been performed by the various members of this class prior to entering W. L., would be wholly beyond our present purpose, for be it known that they have been right important factors in the average walks of life before prostrating themselves at the feet of Blackstone. Suffice it to say that at some time, somewhere, within the past three or four decades, we were all born, received some early training, and continued to live. In the early fall of 1908, having an insatiable desire to enter that Loft- iest o f Professions. loving justice for justice ' s sake, and being willing to spend our lives that its ends might the oetter be subserved, and having heard from early childhood of the fame of Daddy, Sunny, Joe, and Jack, we, the members of the said class, did, by the exercise of due care and careful deliberation, determine upon Washington and Lee as the best place for the acquisition of this coveted learning. Having thus decided, we hied hither from the cornfields and cross-roads of a score of States and took up lodging within the vicinage of Tucker Hall. Since that time one day has been very like unto all others, each bringing forth labor abundantly. Among our number may be found the presidents of the Student Body, the Final Ball, and the General Athletic Association, the captain of the baseball team and the captain of the football team of 1909. The class was represented on ' Varsity last fall by three men, and Captain Hood will no doubt have some legal associates with him when our junior lawyer coach picks the nine to rep- resent W. L. in the spring. Thus it may be seen that the Juniors have been active in college affairs. But these things were only mentioned in passing, for to the Junior Lawyer the wooings of justice are sweeter and more to be sought for than public pomp and high-sounding honors. Blackstone ' s Commentaries and the Code of Virginia are now admitted to be the two greatest literary productions known to man; while the Fourth Sec. of the English Statute of Frauds and the non-assignable duties of a Master are every-day maxims, liable to be repeated unconsciously on any occasion. This fact was noticeable one Sunday morning when the Professor of Torts found a number of Juniors in Tucker Hall, (assembled there, let us suppose, through force of habit and not to study) and took them to his Sunday school class. The class having come to order, the Professor called on one of the afore- said Juniors to open the services with prayer; whereupon he arose, closed his eyes and began : ' ' Oh, Lord, we know that a master is bound, either personally or through a vice-principal to provide and maintain At this blunder Daddy forgot himself also and shrieked No he ' s not, he is bound to use due care, du-e care, d-u-e care. All else must be recorded by the future historian, but when we leave Washington and Lee may we have learned to seek to know the law and the reason thereof, and to add our share to the hastening of that happy day when : All the earth shall slumber, lapped in Universal Law.

The name of the class of 1910 will ever be closely associated with that of the Greater University. Our arrival as Freshmen in September. 1906. marked the dawn of an era of increased class activity in the affairs of Washington and Lee. When we gathered upon the campus for the first time the knowing ones early perceived promise of our future greatness, and many were the prophetic words painting the unsurpassed glory which was to be ours. And well have these predictions been realized ! Think not that these are idle words, but read and believe. As Freshmen we numbered one hundred and forty; the best of the youth of the land — a truly representative and cosmopolitan band. We at once per- fected an crg ' aniz tion. and with Fort Pipes as our leader, did nightly give battle to our traditional enemies, the Sophomores. The climax of the strugg ' le came in a mighty clash of arms — that first terrific Push-Ball Fight. Those were primeval days when no law required the warriors to wear tennis-shoes, and appalling was the carnage. But this has already been inscribed upon the pages of history. Immediately 1910 stamped itself as a class of unusual power by placing three men upon the football team. One of our number captained the basket- ball team during the season of ' 06- ' 07. and two other followers of the Orange and Black were members of the same team. In baseball we were ably repre- sented by four men. Thus as Freshmen we raised the standard which we have since so successfully maintained. When as Sophomores we returned to college we found a large and bois- terous band of incoming Freshmen. As always 1910 did her duty, and in a few short days we had brought this disrespectful crowd to a state of object subjugation. Altho outnumbered in the Annual Ball Fight, nothing could over- come our courageous strength and grim determination, and the result was an overwhelmingly glorious victory. Again our athletes won fame on the gridiron. The captain of the hard- fighting football team of ' 07 was a 1910 man, as were two of those who fol- lowed him. The undefeated basket-ball team of ' 07- ' 08 was drawn almost entirely from our number. Our class team emulated the example of the Var- sity and did not taste defeat — winning the inter-class championship. In base ' ball we were again well represented, and our class nine administered a stinging defeat to the strong Freshman team. A 1910 man coached the track team and brought it to a high state of effi- ciency. But do not infer from this that our activity was confined wholly to athletics. With John Izard as president we became more than ever a powerful factor in all collegiate affairs. When the scholarships were awarded at the end of the session it was found that more than half went to our class. The Cotillion given by 1910 in honor of the Juniors was one of the most successful ever held at Washington and Lee. Our progress during this, our Junior year, has been unprecedented. Four football monograms went to 1910, and the manager of the team was a member of the same illustrious class, as is the manager of the ' 09 eleven. The captaincy of the basket-ball team was again ours. Again our class five won the cham- pionship in the inter-class games, and thus for two years has the banner of 1910 been unstained by defeat. The Varsity baseball team will be pitched to victory by 1910 men. In all some fifteen of our number wear the Varsity monogram. Since the beginning of our Freshman year the class numerals have been awarded to all those representing 1910 in intercollegiate or class athletics. On February 20th, the Junior Prom., which proved to be one of the most brilliant social events of the year, was given by 1910, and in splendor was rivalled only by the Fancy Dress Ball of the preceding night. Many of the important officers in the student body organization are held by men from our ranks. In the future it shall truly be said of us. This was a class. Some of those who matriculated with us as Freshmen have fallen by 86 V r, the wayside ; some have heeded the alluring call of the law ; while others have chosen the stunted development of a three years course; but of these there is not one but who treasures as a priceless possession the recollection of having ' been a member of the grand old class of 1910.

In the Fall of 1907 we struck the town, and some one on the sidewalk remarked that it was refreshing to see the town again take on a fresh appear- ance after such a dry summer. The first few weeks we were kept on the jump, especially at night by the Sophs., who thought we were not taking enough climbing, running and pad- dling exercise. These days soon passed and we found ourselves, a wild-eyed, simple- hearted aggregation, assembled one day in October on Wilson Field, lined-up for the Annual Sophmore-Freshman Ball Rush a very distasteful subject by the way, to Nineteen-Eleven. We surely should have won the rush, but our opponents were rude and cowardly. When we got the ball in our possession they always got in our way, and when they had the ball, they ran it over us ; we could not get near our goal and lost the game as a result. There was consolation in knowing that the Sophs, had played before, so we determined to wait another year and have our revenge on the class of Nineteen-Twelve. When we sought a vindication ol our honor we got additional humiha- When we returned as Sophmoies last fall and cast our eyes upon the class of ' 12. we thought it beneath our dignity to rush the little dears too much, so after one or two nights of trampling these innocent ones in the dust, we contented ourselves by seeing, for the iirst time in the history of this insti- tution, the Freshmen wearing little caps, with white buttons. We had served our term of probation as infants, and we had during that period made observations and deductions, which we believe would be of incal- culable good to those who were infants now. Out of unbounded charity and generosity we condensed our deductions into rules of right living, which we profusely scattered abroad, that the Freshmen might read and become wise. Lack of space forbids the mention of minor events, so we will hurry on to the crowning event of our Sophmore year, the dance given by us, which was held November 30, in the gymnasium, hundreds of penants, banners and yards of class ribbon draped the walls, and the merry dancers in harmony with splendid music spent a very pleasant night. Every one pronounced this by far the best dance given by any class. Quite a number of the Sophs, made the All-Southern Football team this year, and we have had innumerable oflers from the American and National Leagues for some of our men, who will doubtless go down in baseball history as the greatest the world has ever produced. We have established for ourselves an unprecedented record in inter-class athletics, having carried off scores of medals, banners and cups. In years to come we will see the members of this class filling the Presi- dential Chair, the Supreme Bench and Wall Street, and the pages of history will be filled with the achievements of the members of Nineteen-Eleven.

DiHIlB K - fjeshmn (im There were in those days, in the land of Rockbridge, a great University at which there were many valiant heroes. And there were at this place two classes of men. Freshmen, men of great strength and vigor, and Sophomores which being interpreted as wise fools. There arose many disputations among them as to which should be called the greater, and war was rife between them. Now these tribes took unto themselves leaders and waged fierce conflicts on the plains of Lexington. And there crcse in the tirst struggle a young man of great valor, greater than all save Doss alone, who wrought mightily to overthrow his foes. His name was Tommy, and him they chose to be a ruler over them. Now the Faculty, which ruieth all things, decreed that there should be a ball rush in which all the strong men should wr ' ge war. And the Freshmen blackened their faces with polish as a token, and wrought mightily, and over- came their enemies. Lo! there was great noise of battle, and groans, and swearwords, and clouds of dust obscured the sun, yet the val iant Freshmen drove all before them and pushed back the great sphere one score and five paces into the fields of the Sophomores. The struggle ended at about the elev- enth hour, and there were the dead and wounded carried from the field of battle. Then the Freshmen rejoiced and there was a sound of great exultation throughout the land that they were delivered from the hands of the Sopho- mores. Now there had been a decree sent forth that all Freshmen should wear a certain cap which befitted not their dignity, for so great a victory was never known in all the land until that time. And from this on, there was much dis- sension among them, so that Tommy said he would lead them to war no more. And many were wrathful yet, lest they be disfranchised and lose their gi-eat leader, they submitted to wear them. In all the history of schools there was never so great a class as the Class of 1912, for they overcame all adversaries and laid low the vanity of the Soph- omores. And ye. when ye encounter a hero, be ye sure that he is not of this class, lest ye be overcome also. Wherefore all praise and honor be to the Class of 1912 forever. OFFICERS. T. McP.

The Greater University is not only an assured fact. — not a mere ideal, it is in truth a reality. When the old ' Varsity flung wide her gates last September, such a stream of Freshmen poured in over the campus as had never been seen there before, and the beautiful green beneath the ancient maples was roused from its sum- mer siesta to take up active life again. The number of Freshmen, however, was not the only change which was to usher in the session of 1908-1909, there were others which were far more stable and dignified. At the head of what is to be known henceforth as the Mall, the graceful and impressive dome of the new Library is seen in completed glory, safely guarding the forty thousand volumes intrusted to its care, while across the ravine, and rising above Wilson Field, is the new grand stand, with a seating capacity of five hundred or more. At the other end of the mall the old ' ' Gym. ' ' is still to be seen, but its days are numbered, and plans have already been drawn, owing to the enthusiasm and energy of Dr. Denny, for Washington and Lee ' s new gymnasium, which will be modern in every respect, and will be built on the knoll opposite Lee ' s Dormitory, and nearest Wilson Field. Architecturally, it will conform with the other College buildings, and it will face on the triangle around which will be grouped the Dormitories, the Fraternity Houses and the University Commons. In keeping with the improved equipment and the greater number of stu- dents, the athletics of the University and its social life have broadened and become more effective, owing to better organization, while they have acquired at the same time an enviable position in the eyes of the college world. Athletics have not only been helped financially by the Athletic Fee which was introduced in the fall of 1907, and which has been generously supported, but by the moral encouragement which has been given the teams from the side lines — the cheer leader has a seemingly thankless task, but his reward 1. ARNLGIh LIBRARY (h.xlTM.t has come in the end, for we now have an organized system of rooting, and what has been needed more than anything else several good songs, with a swing. Naturally college spirit has received an impetus from which let us hope it may never recoil, but rather with every strain of Alma Mater may it be strengthened in our hearts. In social life a new era has dawned likewise, for while we still have the same set of germans and hops given at regular intervals throughout the year by the Cotillion Club, we now have a new series of dnnces given by the various Uu classes as becomes a large Uriversity. In the golden days of yore finals was exclusively the festive season in Lexington; and of course on account of the sentiment which clings around graduation, the dances given at that time will continue to make the greatest impression on us. but Thanksgiving, Washing- ton ' s Birthday, and Easter :re making their mark, and steadily growing m popularity. NEW G MNASIL ' M In mentioning- the social life at Washington and Lee, we should not forget that important part of it — the Dramatic Club. This association of the his- trionic talent of the University has been thoroughly reorganized. Its aim and present ambition is to give three productions during the college year, with a cast and chorus made up entirely from among the students. At the present writing the Club is hard at work on The Ringer, a musical farce, which they hope to present during Easter week. The words and lyrics are by C. A. Robbins, ' 11, while the music has been composed by W. N. Bootay. 09. As is fitting, the moral and literary life of the University has kept abreast with the times, and marked improvement may be seen in such important branches of college. The Literary Societies are as enthusiastic and wide awake as ever, and on January the nineteenth the Graham-Lee Society celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of its birth. The Young Men ' s Christian Association, which has ever received encour- agement here since the days of General Lee ' s presidency, has continued to enlarge its work, and is now comfortably housed in the spacious upper floor of the Library building. Improvements such as these, however, are realizations — they are. as it were, the finished product in many cases. As to the schemes which are, we dare utter but few remarks. The most important movement now on foot is, of course, the R. E. Lee Memorial, which was started two years ago by President Roosevelt on the occasion of the centennial anniversary of General Lee ' s birth. A movement which immediately associated with Washington and Lee University was at once taken up by the authorities here, and the R. E. Lee Memorial Association was formed, with Governor Duncan C. Heyward, of South Carolina, at its head. Owing to the recent financial panic, however, it was deemed advisable to defer active steps in the advancement of the movement, which has been further hampered by the resignation of Governor Heyward. owing to his ill health. The movement had remained dormant for some time when, with charac- teristic energy a second letter appeared from Pi-esident Roosevelt a short while before he left the White House. Being again encouraged by the Chief Execu- tive, the heads of the Association were brought together in the National Cap- ital and a committee was appointed to form actual plans of operation — the committee consisting of such well known men as Charles Francis Adams, Wil- liam A. Glasgow, Senator R. L. Owen, Senator Chamberlain, W. H. Ellis, Jno. L. Campbell and George H. Denny, whose names are a host in themselves. Let us hope that active work will soon be begun, and that it will be the pleasurable duty of the editor of the CALYX of Nineteen Ten to record it as an accomplished fact. Naturally. Washington and Lee has two precious duties entrusted to her !« V r . - J -jS y - -jJU TL. ■ £ ' f . ly -i C Ca ii -a P x . s«iaJ?5L5 uz c t Z P ' - J -c ii yii- y i .-f79 ee,Ze l «i2 iW-iE- ' . _ 5 T- . a- . a of -ts . - _-.

It is so easy to dwell on the one, and there are so many opportunities of doing so th t we are often unconsciously negligent of the other. And yet there would not have been a Washington College for General Lee to have come to if the Father of his country had not generously supplied funds to struggling Liberty Hall. To awaken our love for the earlier Virginian, we h ' we had a fac-sunile made and put into this book of the very letter by which he became our bene- factor. Oh. careless reader, pause awhile and look on the simple dignity and generous character displayed in the few lines which brought into being your ALMA MATER! PHI DELTA PHI During the years immediately preceding the year 1907, the Washington and Lee Law School, keeping pace with the Greater University, had greatly increased in fame, numbers, and prestige. As a consequence of this growth and progress, there seems to have been a spontaneous recognition in the fall of that year of the fact that some distinct organization was needed in the law school which should combine social enjoyment among its members with the promotion of the high ideals of the legal profession. Towards the attainment of this object several disjointed movements were made which finally resulted in an organization of fourteen members, which assumed the name of The Green Bag Club. Having taken, as it were, ' a local habitation and a name, ' the club straightway began concerted action towards the attainment of its object, and having unanimously decided that the aims which they had in view could best be realized by obtaining a chapter of Phi Delta Phi, the greatest of the legal fraternities, a movement was begun with that end in view. With this aim as its object, Minor Chapter of Phi Delta Phi (University of Virginia) was invited to send representatives to meet the club for the pur- pose of determining whether in their opinion Washington and Lee University r; was the suitable place for the establishment of a Chapter of Phi Delta Phi. and if so, whether the members of The Green Bag Club were desirable per- sons for charter members. The invitation was accepted, which resulted in a visit from the representatives of Minor Chapter during the latter part of Feb- ruary, 1908. Being convinced that the members of The Green Bag Club formed a strong body of petitioners, their visit resulted in an unqualified ordorsement of the movement. Having secured the endorsement of the nearest Chapter to Washington and Lee, and the only one who had paid the club a personal visit, everything seemed to help the movement onward towards its goal. The endorsement of Minor Chapter resulted in the endorsement of the Province Convention, which was held in Washington on April 3rd. 1908. Following closely on this the charter was formally granted at the National Convention, which assembled shortly after at Sioux City, while the Chapter was given the name of Tucker, in honor of John Randolph Tucker, eminent jurist and former Dean of the Washington and Lee Law School. On April 20. 1908, representatives from Minor Chapter again visited Wash- ington and Lee to formally initiate the members of The Green Bag Club, and the next day Tucker Chapter of Phi Delta Phi made its initial bow to the public, and straightway became an active force in the Washington and Lee Law School. The granting of a charter to Tucker Chapter by the convention of Phi Delta Phi did not. however, mean alone that a new fraternity had come into the Washington and Lee Law School, but it meant as well that the excellence and superiority of the law school had been recognized, and that its position as one of the great schools of the legal profession could no longer be ignored. This is amply illustrated by the fact that only in the largest and best of our law schools do we find chapters of Phi Delta Phi. This is conspicuously so in the South. Here, with the exception of Washington and Lee, the only law schools which have chapters are those of the Universities of Virginia. George Wash- ington, and Vanderbilt. As Phi Delta Phi means what is greatest and best to the legal profession, it is the aim of Tucker Chapter that it shall likewise mean this to the Wash- ington and Lee Law School. It is not an organization which has social enjoy- ments and social intercourse among its members as its sole object, but rather as the incidents of its organization when compared with its greater criterion of scholarship, and its greater aim of fostering and promoting among its mem- bers the ve ry highest aims p.nd ideals of which the legal profession is capable. ENUNCIATION When in the course of college events, it becomes necessary for comrades to sever the bonds of barbarism which have heretofore hindered them from enjoying the free substance of the beatitudes of life, they will inevitably form themselves into a society of good cheer and fellowship, having in mind the promotion of the gaiety of the nations and the shortening of time by fos- tering the cultivation of genality, joviality, mirth, merriment and hilarity ; and the utter condemnation of knockers, mugwumps, mollycoddles, misogy- nists, misanthropes, and all similar nuisances. Of such was the birth of PAN. Therefore, know ye all, that on a certain day in the autumn of the year, one thousand nine hundred and eight of our Lord, and of our University one hundred and fifty-nine, was born the Hedonic Society of Pan. Great manifes tations of the elements were present, and men attired in strange garb were seen, and it was rumored that Pan had come. Glorious was its rise and great is its significance, and its deeds shall echo from year to year to the end of time. May its shadow never grow less. i- A{ SOME MEMORIES OF ' 69. (The writer has been induced to cull these incidents from his record of the close of the session 1868-69, in the belief that special interest attaches to that session. Eight men took their degree of A. M. in June, ' 69 — an unprecedented number. The student body at that time embraced many mature men who had served in the Confederate Army — men older than are commonly found at our Colleges. They accordingly did things to a marked extent. They did things, good or bad, which no later graduating classes have had the hardihood to do. One of them founded the Collegian and the K. A. Fraternity, others conspired to form the Ugly Club and celebrate its vices with a public function which has never been repeated. They buried Queen Math. with all the pomp of an elaborate funeral, and with a ritual composed for the occasion. Tl:is, too, was a unique eevnt. They went on Call: things of evil memory, braving local sentiment to a disgraceful extent. The old inhabitant hopes he will never see their like again.) D. C. Lyle, M. W. Humphreys, S. Z. Ammen, J. Wood Ward, W. N. Scott, J. H. McLeary, N. B. Feagin (Captain), and many more. THE BURIAL OF QUEEN MATH. On April 21. 1869, the Senior Math, examinations were heM, and among others, J. P. Strider and S. Z. Ammen made good, and secured their degree of Master of Arts. Their sense of relief was not unmixed with a feeling of resentment against the cause of their protracted anxiety and a desire to bury Math, and her works out of sight forever. Others besides Seniors had this bitter feeling. Accordingly shouts of approval were raised when, on the morn- ing of the 22nd, Ammen affixed to the Bulletin Board, at the entrance to the main building, this oracular utterance: Mathesis moriens mihi disit: . ., , Have me a funeral, gloriously fix it. ■ ' . ,• ., ., ■■•..- - ' . ' ..,: Mathesis jubet funus parare; -. •.:-..-.. ' - ' . On, ye Seniors, do and dare a . ■ • - - . 1:: . .. Factum quod ita est gloriosum — ' ' ' . Bury Queen Math., tam horiosum. Of the various comments made by students, but one is remembered — that of Jack Inglis, who observed t hat tam was doubtless a copyist ' s mistake for dam. Even so he heartily favored the proposal and the idea of burying Old Ellick ' s entire course spresid like wild-fire among its haters. Those who had flunked at the finals, as well as those who had barely pulled through, agreed that the passing of Math, was a good riddance, and ought to be com memorated. C. C. Garnett, Feazin and Ammen, who all lived in Paradise, constituted themselves an executive committee and planned the funeral. There was to be a regular burial of all the books required for the Math, course in an open lot north of Main Street, opposite Dr. Waddell ' s residence. The burial service, composed by Feazin and Ammen, consisted of extracts from Ray ' s Algebra, Trigonometry and Calculus, supplemented by apposite texts from Scripture. One paragraph discussed the possible resurrection of the defunct. After laudatory words on the principle de mortuis nil risi bonum, there were some sly digs, and the service continued: How are the dead raised up? Thou fool, thou sowest not that body which shall be. All bodies are not the same body. There are Celestial bodies and bodies Terres- trial. But the glory of the Celesti il is one. and the glory of the Terrestrial is one and a half, plus the diff erential of x. The dirge to be sung at the grave was composed by Frank Coleman and Ammen. It was, however, in spirit, a Gaudeamus rather than a Doleamus. Silas Mason was entrusted with the making of the coffin, which was to be triangular and deep enough to hold all the books of the Math Course. When completed it was brought to 47 Paradise (Ammen ' s room) where it was in- scribed. On one side was Taylor ' s Theorem; on another x + 2 p x q; on the third some like dolorous equation which has passed from the writer ' s mem- ory. The top bore a drawing of the Pons Asinorum — in white chalk. There was to be a funeral oration by J. P. Strider, whose experiences in Senior Math, were known to have been such as to stir his soul to the depths. On the 23rd, at the appointed hour, the funeral procession formed on the Campus in front of the main building-. The cofiin was borne by four flunkers. who wept copiously into towels. It was preceded by the chief mourners. Mason and Ammen, in dress suits and high hats. Their hats were wound with white sheets, reaching to their feet, in lieu of crape, and they wept into bath towels. A negro boy led the way, tolling a bell. Behind the chief mourners followed almost the entire student body, those only being excluded who had never flunked in Math. It was a fine day. bright green spring tints decorating the landscape. The bell, the casket, the mourners and the long procession attracted a multitude ' This passage, along with the other occurrences, so offended the dull citizens of Lex ington. including some trustees, that they terrorized the Collegian into declining to print the full proceedings prepared for it by Ammen at the request of the Editors. V of on lookers. On arriving at the grave those who wished were allowed to inspect the casket ' s contents. Then Strider began his oration: I come not here to praise Math., but to bury her. but more honest than Marc Anthony, the orator never deviated into praise of the departed. His speech was eloquent, expressing real feeling, his own and ours. After Strider, Feazin read the burial service with becoming gravity. I shall never forget his anti-ciimax — For the glory of the Celestial is 1, and the glory of the Terrestrial is I1 2 plus dx. Then was sung the Dirge; THE DIRGE OVER QUEEN MATH. (Words by Nauieloc and Nemma.) Tune, — Hard times. Come Again No More. Now ye students, drooping, weary, who many a time of old Have sickened at this Maiden to the Core, Expand more happy functions, and raise your heads up hold. For Math, times will come again no more. Chorus: ' Tis the prayer and the plaint of the weary; Math, times. Math, times, come again no more; Many days have you lingered, a most outrageous bore, -. Oh, Math, times, come again no more! Through many a page and chapter having labored sadly on And voted in succession each formula a bore, We now can but rejoice, since old Calculus is gone. That Math, times will conle again no more. Chorus: — ' Tis the Prayer, c. ' Tis a voice oft uplifted, ' tis what the Seniors crave, ' Tis a sentiment we have uttered o ' er and o ' er; ' Tis the dirge we ' ll ever murmur around the Lady ' s grave; Oh, Math, times, come again no more! Chorus: — ' Tis the Prayer, c. When the plaintive notes of the chorus died away the boys dispersed quietly to their homes, having been well entertained by the varied semi-jocular incidents of the burial. But the Peck-sniffs of the town were deeply offended, their illiteral minds little comprehending the eccentric movements of the stu- dent ' s soul in its reaction from the long strain of hard study. S. Z A 127 About 3 P. M. June 11, 1869, a party composed of Strider, ■ Ammen, Mitchell, Humphreys, Mason. Lyle, Smith. W. P.. Calhoun, Legrand, Sam Graves, Nelson and McChesney, walked to House Mountain to see the sunset and sunrise from that high point. All were in a mood to enjoy this long- deferred outing, the session ' s labors being- at an end. Half way up the mountain we passed through Jacktown, where the College Y. M. C. A. did amateur missionary work. The College Missionaries, in asking contributions, described Jacktown as an amazingly benighted community. Conditions were primitive, Scythian barbarity in sight of Lexington, the mod- ern Athens ! The contrast was responsible for an essay I read in the Wash. Society in which I laid down this thesis, that the true way to study ancient history with a view to discovering the social condition of primeval man, was not to pore over duty MSS., but to ascend from the fertile and densely in- habited valleys to the mountains, where history would be found stratified ; modern enlightment at the bottom, bare civilization at higher levels and glacial man, or the unpolished Stone Age at the top. All stages of development exist contemporaneously, and doubtless Homer ' s contemporaries might be found in Jacktown. But on our visit to this primitive community it was suggested to us that while my theory was good, our veracious missionaries had misled us as to the facts. We ascended through all the social strata of House Mountain, but could discern no marked hypsometric gradations. The only Homeric character we encountered was a Thersites who objected to our tumbling down his fences. Reaching the summit, after a stiff climb, we ascended to the top of Stu- dent ' s Rock, whence we looked out over a magnificent landscape of wooded hills, open fields and scattered farm houses, with the Blue Ridge beyond. As the day declined to its close, the magic of the scene played tricks with the imagination. Misty spirits began to form in the shaded valleys and to clamber up the sides of the mountain ridges to be glorified in the rays of the setting sun. What beauty he gave them ! What blessedness was theirs, robed in gold, to soar before the face of the all-glorious Father of Light! What ecstacy was theirs to feel his touch, to faint, to vanish, to cease to be! C. C. Garrett.

A little taste of bliss and then the dark. We see in the spectacles of Nature but reflections of our own moods ; our own alternations of cheer and gloom. We feel; we are thrilled in the inner heart; we aspire, and then — disillusion. We are mocked by these splendid sunsets, these marvelous tints of hill and field bathed in spectral mist and light. We see more than is. Mother earth has let us dream more than we shall ever awake to. She has imaged delights we shall never know. She hints truths that are not true only weird workings of the brain. Descending as night came on, to the foot of Student ' s Rock, I find the boys preparing to quarter themselves there, under cover of a projecting ledge. We gather leaves for our beds and firewood, since it is necessary to have a fire going at our feet during the colder part of the night. Then we eat our supper, jollying each other over the day ' s events. We laugh, we tell stories, we ask conundrums and laugh again. All the while we look out — for the sky is clear — upon the splendid spectacle of the heavens, and in spite of our jollying feel the solemnity of — Notis signa severa, Noctivagaeque faces coeli, flammaeque, volantes. Among the songs we sang I recall vividly only Nelson ' s Pirate song: We ' ll nail it to the Mast. Thus spoke the unethical robber of the seas, meaning his black flag. As Nelson sang, we felt it was indeed a glorious thino- to be a pirate and amass a competence in his summary way. with drooping black moustache and flashing scimitar. About 10 we drop off to sleep, Strider and I having a shawl together. At intervals during the night we were awakened by Humphreys throwing wood on the fire, but we slept again, the sleep of the just. At 4 A. M. Humphreys, who must have had insomnia, calls us to be ready for sunrise. Some go to the summit. McChesney and I betake ourselves to a rock near by, to the left of the Student ' s rock, and lie there awaiting the orb of day. First it brightens the hill tops, leaving the valleys misty and obscure; then the lower hills. Smoke curls upward from the chimneys of thrifty farm- ers. At last the sun, in full disc, glorifies all. We voted the sight magnificent, and, after breakfasting on the scanty re- mainder of our provisions, stepped briskly down the mountain, through the slums of Jacktown, on our way to Lexington. That afternoon, with Charlie Graves and C. C. Garrett. I go to Leyburn ' s Dam for a swim and found it delightful. On the stroll back to College we were surprised to come upon wild strawberries. So ends the record of a happy day — all days were happy then, when lon - labors were ended and other labor had not yet begun. S. Z. A.

A —ITS ACTIVITIES, GROWTH, AND ASPIRATIONS. The Young- Men ' s Christian Association stands for purity, manhood, and strength in all commendable college activities. It seeks to develop Christian character and to uplift the ideals of every man in college. It gives the man of strong character an opportunity to use his influence, and shows the weak man the way to gain strength. It causes unselfishness and religious indiffer- ence to give way to activity and joyful Christian service. The religious work of the University has been organized for forty-four years, having been started by a group prayer meeting under General Robert E. Lee. Since then its influence has gradually widened, until today the Asso- ciation is recognized as one of the most important organizations in college life. While obstacles have been great and the shortcomings many, yet we notice a steady growth in almost all phases of the work. Although a lack of interest has been manifested by many capable students, yet a large number of the most prominent men in college have shown great enthusiasm for its advancement. It is the manliest of all organizations, and deserves the co-operation of every student. Weekly Religious meetings are held on Tuesday night. A number of exceptionally strong addresses have been made, both by local speakers and by men invited from a distance. Great interest has been manifested in these meetings, as well as in a number of other group prayer circles. A series of special evangelistic meetings were held in January, conducted by the Rev. Dr. D. H. Ogden. of Atlanta. Ga. As a result a number of men took a definite stand for the Christian life; and numerous others so raised their ideals and moral standards as to form a strong sentiment against the prom- inent college evils. The Bible Study work has steadily advanced, with an enrollment of over 250 men. Most of the classes are held in connection with the Sunday schools of the town, which ties the men up more closely with their churches. The interest in Mission Study is greater than ever before. Three inter esting courses are used, with a large number of group classes distributed throughout the town. The knowledge thus gained of the missionary activities is very inspiring. In membership, the enrollment exceeds all previous records, now num- bering 260. The majority of these are active members. The aim is to interest every man, so as to make his own character a power for righteousness, and to exert an influence for good over his fellow students. A series of Life Work addresses were held during the winter, which caused a number of men more seriously to consider the giving of their lives to dis- 1 lU 7 tinctively religious callings. The Ministerial Band now numbers twenty, and the Volunteer Band nine. Two receptions were given during the year. The first at the opening of the session was given to the new men. The other, the opening reception oi the New Rooms, was given to the Student Body. Music and the ladies added much to its success and merriment. This year for the first time the Y. M. C. A. has secured a meeting and reading room for its exclusive use, and now feels that it has a home. The two beautiful rooms in the New Library Building add much to the effectiveness of its work. These rooms only show the need of a separate Y. M. C. A. build- ing, which we hope to secure in the near future. The Association this year has secured the services of a full-time General Secretary for the first time, and it has thus been enabled to undertake greater things than ever before. The opportunities of such an office are so great that with out doubt it will be made permanent. Custis Lee Engineering Society H. W. ORDEMAN President E. S. HUMPHRIES Vice-President W. C.

The cold light shines through the shivering pines in the Land of the Lonely Star; The drear light shines through the murmuring pines Out under the cold, white star. There, where the great white glaciers glide Out of the mountains bare. The phantoms gaunt of Hunger and Want, Hunger and Cold and Care, The phantoms old of Hunger and Cold Are kings unchallenged there. Over the plains of pale white snow. Under the Northern Light. The were-wolf bold, in the blue, bleak cold. Complains to the lonely night ; The foxes moan in the silence lone That hushes the cold, still night. South to the Land of the Long lost Sun. Under the frozen snow. The rivers roll to their distant goal, Down to the sun s bright glow ; I he waters deep, in silence, sweep Down where the warm lights glow. There, where the tropic rivers run On to the Southern Seas, The winged perfume of the summer bloom Floats on the summer breeze ; Music and song and laughter long W ing down on the wooing breeze. Down to the depths of the deepest seas, High in the azure air, The spirits move of Life and Love, Beauty and Bloom so fair; The spirits above of Life and Love Wed Bloom and Beauty there. But the tribes that dwell on the pale white plains. Far in the Northern Snow, They love the land of the Arctic Stand, Where the Boreal tempests blow ; They love the land where the ice walls strand And the wild Auroras glow. The heart of the nations of all the earth Lies where the homelands are, In frigial gloom, in Southern bloom. Or lonely isles afar ; Wherever they rove goes back their love To the land of their Natal Star. But we, who wander from sun to sun, Under the jeweled dome. The Orient light, the Northern night. The Walls of the West are home. Ever we bare Thy constant care, God of the Tribes that Roam. B. C. MOOMAW, Jr. THE ANIMATED ALPHABET Friends, we now start on a midnight procession In our course we will join the stars of the session, And though on this journey we make a degression. Or are guilty indeed of slight indiscretion. Forget not, ere we left, we made this confession That though stars must shine to hght college, and can ' t stand suppression, Oft they shine not at first, but only glow in recession Only joining at last in this star-like procession.

But to us these mean not the real stars of glory, Their wisdom and virtue is too aged and hoary. So, therefore, we sang of those who shall ere be. The sun, moon, and stars to Washington and Lee. FINIS. JUST HUMAN 1 really couldn ' t help it. anyway — You won ' t believe it, but perhaps you may ; Sweet as the dew-kissed rose they were, so red, And puckered in the cutest little pout, all reason fled. And 1 felt a strange, queer swimming of the head ; And — well, I really couldn ' t help it, anyway. Ill be John Browned if 1 could help it, anyway; Her eyes kept on daring me, and there They were so close, just backing up the dare, 1 was bewitched completely, all for fair.

On the way to the Land of Long Ago Sits a Hindoo man no one can know. For he never was tliere and he never will be, Yet many a tale has he told to me. Has this ancient, bearded Hindoo man While he sits and hugs his hookah can Like a pagan idol yoii don ' t know On the way to the Land of Long Ago. As this Hindoo man, by name Onan Looked oft and long at his hookah can One day I asked what he saw therein, Whereat he turned with an awesome grin. And chuckled your honor under the chin. Did this dark and mysterious Hindoo man Who goes by the Heathen name Onan, While he sat on the road, which all men know Leads to the Land of Long Ago, My son, quoth he, Allah be praised, For by his grace I ' ve often gazed On all things as they USED TO BE, Whether man or beast or hopping flea. I can look in my hookah and tell you how Each looked A THOUSAND YEAKS FROM NOW. When in different forms as the images show They lived in the Land of Long Ago. Just then Onan gave a resonant slam To his face of wrinkles and freckles and tan, And fixing his eye on his hookah can Cried shrilly — A ha! I behold a man. And a learned one, too, remarked the old Sage, As he silently gazed On the image his Eastern magic had raised. ' Tis a ■■Prof.. ' cried he. whose present vocation Is to teach young men about EMIGRATION, But in the far oft Land of the Rising Sun For a thousand years he created fun. And was called a Billiken. for you sec He was the God of thmgs AS THEY OUGHT TO BE. And now a wise man comes to view Who can tell us of ROCKS AND SKELETONS, too. And well he may, said the Hindoo man. As he use to live when the world began. And o ' er Siberia ' s plain did run In tlie shape of a graceful mastodon. Small wonder he deals in BONES, for how Could a mastodon try to do otherwise now? I ' ll swear by the prophet on bended knees. This image was none less than Diogenes, Tho still a PHILOSOPHER, here is the rub I ' ve searched and I ' ve hunted without finding his tub. So saying Onan gave an awkward Salaam And bumped his head on his hookah can. K When at last he recovered his composure sublime And his eyes from their sockets with lustre did shine, He cried out with glee. A Court Fool I see Who makes QUEER FACES and GESTURES at me. In these days he ' s found upon College Hill, Where his JOKES and his JINGLES are risible still. King Pharoah had a daughter, continued Onan, Who was nailed in a nuunmybox made for a man. But when she was laid in the Pyramid ' s bottom The TENTH of a TACK in the lock was forgotten, So the damsel, you see, escaped as a flee And now lives safely on STERILIZED TEA. As this ancient maiden was fading away Onan seemed for once at a loss to say. How curious he thought her coat so gay Which, from its SHADE OF GREEN and curious style We are sure she must have fished from the Nile. Attached to a cable, and bearing a label At least that will do as a very good Fable. Just then, like the clouds which begin to lower While the muezzin calls from Minaret tower. There came a SHRIEK OF WONDERFUL POWER From the CHEMICAL fumes and mists which began To run in circles through the hookah can. And before the Princess could disappear She was rudely and roughly seized by the ear. I won ' t say HOW, for it may have been fear Which seized her and brought to her eye a tear. And now of a sudden, with terrific crash Onan and his hookah went up in a flash. And tho I have searched with careful eye No where can I find him in earth or sky. But what do I care, perhaps he is hid In some old Pagoda or cold Pyramid. At least I can say I saw him one day As Phoebus was casting his very last ray On the road where no m en ever go.

Baseball and football have always and will probably remain the two most popular forms of sport, and of these two, the former for years outclassed the latter, but at the present day our football record is a most enviable one, and our team is the equal of any in this section. Besides these two forms, Washington and Lee is fortunate in possessing the facili ties for boating, and ever since 1874 the races here have been the most exciting events of the year. At that early date the crews first used six-oared cutters, being before the time of the modern racer. Now the clubs possess five of the best type of racing shells. Less attention, perhaps, has been paid to the Track Team than anything else, but this year, after two meets, one with the University of North Carolina and the other with V. P. I., it is to be hoped that interest will no longer be slack. Basket-ball, our latest acquisition, w ' as not firmly instituted until 1906, but its infancy was of short duration, and its fame has increased rapidly. In the light of the Past the Future looks indeed bright, and in succeeding years we hope to see still greater improvement. For the past ten years we have been laboring under a great draw-back, due to the lack of an up-to-date Gymnasium. The present building is totally out of keeping with the University, and it is a source of gratification to all that a new building, modern in all respects, will shortly take its place.

A great many causes contributed last year to make it a hard season for football, and numerous difficulties were present here at Washington and Lee. Chief among these were the lack of an assistant in coaching, the large number of new men, and the great difficulty in keeping the players in trim; this last was noticeable at all the colleges. The season opened up with good prospects, and the squad upon Wilson Field, the largest in years, gave evidence of a fine lot of material which, however, was lacking in experience. After a practice game with Roanoke College, the first real test came in t ' .:e annual encounter with North Carolina at Newport News. Both teams showed a lack ol practice, and the score of to left much to be desired. Another week ' s hard work, how- ever, showed a remarkable change for the better, and Richmond College was defeated by a large score. Following this came the game with V. P. I., and tie whole Student Body journeyed to Lynchburg In the hopes of bringing back the victory which should have been ours in 1907. But a great disappointment awaited them, and that task is reserved for the team of 1909. The game was a good, clean one, and after the first fifteen minutes honors were pretty evenly divided. In that short period W. L. showed a sufficient lack of energy to account for the defeat. It was reserved to Thanksgiving Day for the team to show what it was really capa- ble of. and in the game with Georgetown all the latent possibilities were uncovered. The final score of 12 to 11 shows it was a close victory, but it was well earned, and an excellent finish to the season. The whole University rejoiced greatly at this victory, and received the team in fitting style, which was but one of the many manifestations of the loyal sup- port furnished by the Student Body throughout the year. It is with great regret that we recall the fact that next year we lose Coach Brown. W. L. ' s steady growth in the world of Athletics has been most distinctly marked while he has been hero, and under his careful supervision our teams have entered the very top ranks. It is with sincere appreciation and regret that we witness his departure. Football Department r; E. L. ALDERSON Captain J. T. LYKES •.....;. Manager R. R. BROV N (Dartmouth) Coach CHARLES ROLLER, (V.

In all there were five places to fill, and in view of this fact the season ' s record was excellent in every respect. It was hard luck to lose two star twirlers in one year, but in George was found an able successor, and the other new men filled their positions just as creditably. The team had a rough start with Amherst and Villauova, but by the middle of April the transformation was complete, and for the rest of the season our nine played like vet erans. Lehigh, Davidson and North Carolina succiunbed in regular order, and the Univer sity had the pleasure of witnessing such playing as would have done credit to any team Last year also witnessed Washington and Lee ' s first long Southern trip. In the very last part of the season the management arranged two games to be played with the University of Georgia, at Atlanta. Immense crowds witnessed these contests, and Wash nigton and Lee Alumni extended a royal welcome to the team. In addition to this, the team was absent a week in the North, defeating St. John ' s. Delaware College, and were unfortunately deprived of a game with the Navy, due lo the inclemency of the weather. Last year was remarkable in many respects, and though we cannot always expect two such trips in one . eajcn, it is hoped that Washington and Lee will soon have aroiher opportunity of going South. _ ,, Baseball Department W.

This branch of sport which in the pnst has heen more expressly confined to the Northern Universities, is now firmly established at Washington and Lee, and most of the other Colleges of Virginia. Our advancement has been unusually rapid, and the team of 1908 played the season without a defeat, easily establishing themselves the champions of Virginia. This year ' s aggregation, imbued with the spirit of last y ' sar, started uut wita a rush, and not only defeated the Univeiiity of Virginia by a good score, but ai.so took the Central Y. M. C. A., of Baltimore, into camp. This latter team came from one of tiie centers of basket-ball activity, where it possessed quite a reputation. Such success, however, could not continue forever, and the annual slump so feared by every team came just as the departure for the Northern trip, where Manager Boyd had arranged to meet Virginia. Georgetown and several of the strong Baltimore teams. This soon passed, however, and the team resuming its former gait, easily defeated Randolph-Macon and V. P. I., thus ending the season with credit both to themselves and the University. ' .i yM Basketball Department OFFICERS H. K. SMARTT Captain C. L. KEEBS, (Manhattan) Coach GEO.

The interest and work bestowed upon this department by Student Coach Hodges in the last two years is now bearing fruit, and Track Athletics at Washington and Lee have received such an impetus that progress will not soon slacken. The Annual Field Day was unusually productive of success, and following this came the meet with V. P. I., the first intercollegiate contest of t .is kind held on Wilson Field for many years. In the latter event Washington and Lee wen by the score of 74 to 42; getting out of thirteen events, first place in seven, second place in ten, and third place in nine. Two records were broken, the mile and 440 yard dash. Another innovation instituted las t year, and one which will probably become an annual affair, was the cross country run from Buena Vista to Lexington, A large number (lualified for the race this year, and but for the heavy roads about Thanksgiving, last year ' s record, which was an unusually fast one, would probably have been lowered. This spring ' s work, if successfully carried out, will place the Track Team upon a finn basis. There are two meets arranged for this year, one with the University of North Carolina, in Lexington, and the other with V. P. I., at Blacksburg. The work so well started must be continued, and if hard work and encouragement will defeat these two, we ' ll win. It might be well to add that in keeping with our success, certain improvements here are absolutely necessary. Above all things a new cinder track is needed, and the first improvement put upon Wilson Field should be in tliis direction. Track Department, 1908-1909 A. S. McCOWN Captain J. M. E.

ITS PRESENT HIGH STANDARD VNDER AD- VERSE CIRCVMSTANCES, AND ITS PROMISING FVTVRE. r, In view of the unfavorable surroundings and meagre equipment, the above organ- ization deserves all the credit which can be given, and to the idle observer the finished results present no indication of the labor and struggle which has made this result possible. The University is fortunate in possessing an accomplished athlete in Mr. McCutchan and the result of this year ' s celebration bears eloquent testimony to the power of his tutelage. In this department it has never been feasible to meet other college teams, and so the contests here have been entirely local; among the men, however, composing the team are to be found the purest lovers of manly exercise, and the greatest exponents of bodily devel opment. To them perhaps more than to any others a new gymnasium will be a decided boon, and the one contemplated will meet the expectations of all. Those in charge have not unnaturally waited until they could erect one suitable in every respect, and it is believed that the plans which have been accepted will provide for every requirement. The building itself will be of colonial design, and thus harmonize with the general archi- tectural scheme. Inside will be found plenty of space for all contests, and the very latest equipment. The terms of 1910 will have everything they desire. D.lw.ill, M.ll, r Mur,l,-r-,l,..,n:l. ..,., K.,bbi,,.

AN ARTICLE IN WHICH IS SHOWN THE KEEN INTEREST AND HEARTY SVPPORT WHICH AQVATIC ATHLETICS HAVE AL- WAYS RECEIVED AT WASHINGTON AND LEE. Washington and Lee, standing cs it always has done for every ph se of manly de- velopment, is fortmiate in possessing one branch of sport which, for lack of facilities and other reasons, is almost altogether absent from the Universities of the South. For the past thirty years the interest in the boat crews of Washington and Lee has continued unabated, and the old rivals, Albert Sidney and Harry Lee, battle together as strongly as ever. One would have to go far to find a more excited or enthusiastic gath- ering than the one which year after year has gathered upon the old island to await an exciting finish. From the time when in old row boats it took seven minutes or more to complete the mile, until now, when the narrow, swift-moving racers cover the course ii a little over four, the excitement has been tense, and many a voice lost for hoarseness in a frantic endeavor to pull the beloved blue, or red over the line first. The unflagging interest in this purely local contest is a good index to the high regard in which boating is held at Washington and Lee,; and the excellence of our crews often brings forth the wish that we had some foreign rival to combat. In the old contests with the Virginia Boat Club, Washington rnd Lee ' s superiority was easily manifest, and should these contests be resumed or any others arranged, such a record would be continued.

Gloomy and restive and weary, I silently pondered alone; Regarded the future dim, dreary. And dwelt on the things I have done. Passed glidingly forth in parade The ghosts of nameless past revels; Nor spoke they a word, nor any sound made, And their faces and forms were of devils. Nor bore any a feature redeeming, As luringly each one entreated; Nor feeling aroused but revolting, unseeming, As they mockingly grinned, and retreated. My heart with remorse was enshrouded, Conscience cried out as with pain — What joy from a living beclouded? What happiness was there to gain? What course lor the future to lay, My footsteps to guide unalt ' ring; What course in the great trackless way To follow and cling to unfalt ' ring ' ? As I troubled, by my side you appeared. And with voice sweet, music ' ly low, You showed me the way, a true course I steered, And I fear not wherever I go. With a heart for you full of love. O ' er path with roses .strewn along, I tread without fear Of misguided move. And the path echoes music and song. h atlETT Sophomore Cotillion r WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY GYMNASIUM November the Thirtieth 190 8 CLASS OFFICERS WILBUR CAMDEN ARMENTROUT President JAMES MADISON BARKER, JR Vice President KIRBY WEATHERSBY SEVIER Secretary ROLAND AGREE WADDILL Treasurer LAURENCE WHITE WILSON Historian DANCE COMMITTEE COURTNEY SCOTT HENLEY.

The making of the book has been a never-ending pleasure to those concerned, and owing to the unusual co-operation of the Board the task has been made much easier. The editor wishes to thank most heartily the business managers for their liberality and kind consideration, and also each and every member of the Board. To Mr. S. Z. Ammen. of the Baltimore Sun. we feel ourselves under many obliga- tions for his charming ' ' Recollections of early days, which, besides their innate interest, are historical, and will therefore be additionally cherished. Mr. B. C. Moomaw and Mr. C. A. Robbins. we wish to thank for poems which appear in the book, and as for drawings, we would have been most unfortunate if several of our friends (now for life) had not come to our aid. We therefore take great pleasure in acknowledging our gratitude to Miss Vera Morel, of New Orleans. La.: to Miss Sarah Enrker, of Bristol. Tenn.; to Miss Page Taylor, of Washington. D. C; to Miss Esther Byrnes, Miss Rosa Hodges, and Miss Carolyn Gwathmey, of Norfolk. Va.; to Miss Annie Markli, of Lexington. Va.; to Mr. James S. Davant. of Memphis.

' 08. we wish to convey our appreciation lor his many suggestions which resulted in some of the most attractive features of the Book. Finally, before laying down our pen. we would thank all those who have helped us by the merest hint which in many cases bore useful fruit and helped us in the accom plishment of our task and the fulfillment of a sacred duty.

SUSSMAN PHOTOGRAPH STOCK COMPANY, 223 225 Park Ave., Baltimore, Md. FASHION NOTES For College Men Collars should be worn high somewhere around the neck is considered high enough. The hairs of the head will stand reunited never again to be parted. Cigarettes will be worn in the left-hand corner of the mouth. A droop of forty-five degrees is considered very effective and modish. No gentleman of distinction will be seen with a cigarette more than half consumed. If more than six inches of hosiery are displayed above the shoe-tops it will be taken as evidence that the socks have feet also. Men of fashion, wear- ing uppers only, will not advertise that fact. The prevailing color in ties will be a cross between Paris green and dys- peptic yellow. A very fetching waiscoat was seen on display at a recent tailoring display in New York. It was a creation in white and blue, of heavy ribbed material white cloth, with tiny blue monograms dotting its surface. This design is especially well adapted to large, athletic individuals. A favorite Boutonniere (?) for fresh young men during the months of January. February and March will be a sprig of wintergreen. Belts, in all probability, will be worn somewhere between the diaphram and the Panama Canal. Tight, form-fitting. Directoire overcoats, with a suggestion of Empire models, cut bias, and with a slit down (or up, according to the point of view), the right side, will be worn by the ultra-fashionable. It will not be considered strictly a la mode to appear in an automobile coat and goggles unless you own a car. For spring wear use lubricating oil. Long, slim, flat pocketbooks will continue to be the proper thing for gen- tlemen of fashion. Thick, f t, vulgar-looking wallets went out of style during the panic of 1907. There will be a very great variety shown in hats. Every gentleman should make it a point to see that his head-gear is entirely different from that of every one else. A very chic model is known as the Merrie College Widower. It is designedly small — as an offset to its feminine companion, sidewalk consid- erations having been predominant in its creation — and is intended to be worn nonchalantly on the rear of the head. It appears particularly rakish when accompanied by a Turkish cigarette. Shirts will be worn much longer than formerly — net over three weeks, however. .Mil FILMS DEVELOPED WHILE YOU WAIT WE DO THE BEST WORK. THE QUICKEST WORK, THE CHEAPEST WORK THE J.

SUSSMAN PHOTOGRAPH STOCK COMPANY, 223 225 Park Ave.. Baltimore, Md. Fashion Notes— (Continued) Pants will positively no longer be worn. They were already fast becom- ing absolute, and this year marks their obsolete discard. It might be of inter- est to note, however, that no gentleman ' s wardrobe will be complete without several pairs of trousers. A cuff on the wrist is not considered nearly so effective as one on the jowl. As great a latitude (and an even greater longitude, according to size) will be allowed in foot-wear as in head-dress. Any sort of a shoe will do for any kind of an occasion with one exception. Beginners in dancing, out of respect for the shines of others, (not to speak of more delicate matters), should wear soft sandals. A very smart fashion has been set by some of our fashionable Smart Set. A gentleman out for a stroll is followed by a footman wearing his monocle, chrysa,nthemum, cane, gloves. Boston terrier and other accessories. It is argued for this clever scheme that one receives the credit for possessing these important articles without having to bother with them. For distorted nails there are many cures. Smoking jackets will be popular for evening wear, especially when at home. A very nobby velvet dinner coat, cut extra long, with capacious pockets for silver-ware, etc.. promises to meet with favor. An innovation has at last been introduced in full dress apparel. The coat and vest are all one piece. Where the shirt would naturally appear is a false front easily detached when soiled. The garm.ent opens along the shoulders and around the neck, and when properly hung with sleeves up-lifted, may be dropped upon the person very much like the trappings of a fire horse. The fastenings are self-adjusting, being cleverly concealed by a false seam, and are operated by a spring in one of the pockets when it is desired to remove the garment. The collar is easily adjustible. The inventor of this great labor- saving device is a college graduate. White and Blue will be the predominant colors in everything next season, including football, baseball, basket-ball, and Final Ball. In push ball, black and blue will prevail, however.

THE MIDNIGHT MUSINGS OF OLD GEORGE A pitch in time saves a nine. A little law is an irksome thing. A wide grin meets the long green. It is not always the initiate who is the goat. The long arm of credit has a powerful reach. Rah! Rah! Rah! is the root of all colleges. Women are s ich stuff as reams are written of. In the social realm, millions added means clothes subtracted. Take the Easter girl at her word and you won ' t take her far. Put not your trust in money; likewise put not your money in trust. An institution of learning inevitably places its stamp upon its Alumni. The Balloonatics are all up in the air over the flights of the aeronautics. W. K. R., JR. Admiration may not be as romantic a proposition as fascination, but it is a much safer one. Its high time, ' remarked the ballet dancer, as she held one toe pointed at ten minutes to six. Not every mother ' s son can become President, but any old skate can slip up under a good thing. A school is judged not by the numbers who go into it, but by the finished few who go out Irom it. If you will look almost any two dollar bill squarely in the face you can make it ashamed of itself. Fashion flaunts her colors in the summer breezes and exultantly shouts Hip! Hip! Hipless! Hooray! The course of collegiate love may not run as smooth because of the Vis- iting Girl, but it runs much more rapidly. There are three things that are indispensible to a student ' s complete un- happiness: Bills, examinations and prohibition. Age brings richness to the red of the wine, mellowness to the memories of friendship, ard sweetness to the savor of the pipe. When the current of a man ' s will crosses the counter current of a woman ' s want, the flash may be shockingly positive, but it is more than likely to be only mildly negative. A cad is a fellow who deliberately cuts a dance engagement and boasts of it. A gentleman is one who only does so unavoidably and apologizes for it. A coward is one who stealthily makes the cut and is afraid to admit it. XXV FILMS DEVELOPED WHILE YOU WAIT. WE DO THE BEST WORK, THE QUICKEST WORK, THE CHEAPEST WORK THE J.

Baltimore, Md. FAITH, HOPE and CHARITY Faith, Hope and Charity, the lovely Sisters Three, while one day on a Lark were strolling in the Park, and spied young Donis sleeping. Laughed Faith, heartless Flirt, If I should lift my skirt and display daintily a flash of Lirgerie, I know we ' d catch him peeping. And so with modesty — a bit of hosiery — but the young man slept on. Then said Hope, kneeling down and looking shyly around, If I should caress him, I think ' twould interest him and we ' d see him winking. So gently she kissed him — could it have missed him? — There was not a sign from the sleeper! But Charity, sighing, came where he v as lying and said: I ' ll not fear it; he hears me, he ' ll wear it. and of me is thinking. So saying, a ' flower she throws near his bower, and the Sisters left the slumberer alone. Young Adonis arose, winked slyly at his hose, softly touched his lips with his finger tips, pinned on the flower, as a valued dower, and gravely departed. Now which of the Sisters Three was right?
