JOHN L. CAMPBELL— AN APPRECIATION. CHAMBERLIN, OF THE CLASS OF 76. 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.
