I jHnrfin I)ni1i0 5SurUs An Appreciation HE service which the late President Wilson rendered to Washington and Lee was of so varied and valuable a character that it would be well-nigh impossible to say that any one achievement of his did most to advance the cause and the work of this university. From his own utterances, it is believed that he, in his discriminating judgment, thought the choosing and securing of Martin Parks Burks for one of the chairs of the Law School was second to no other official accomplishment. Had President Wilson deemed the material advantage the one chiefly to be con- sidered in the selection of a law profess or for his university, then from thai viewpoint alone would the selection of Mr. Burks have been a most excellent one. The splendid legal equipment of Mr. Burks as a practitioner and his successes before the courts; his clarifying and able treatise analyzing and applying the Virginia laws respecting the Separate Estates of Married Women — a subject which, when he wrote upon it, was regarded by courts and lawyers alike as being in a chaotic and confused state; his numerous illuminating discussiors of technical legal questions through the Virginia Laiv Register, and the highly satisfactory character of his work as official reporter of the State ' s highest court — were assurmg proofs of his qualification as a law teacher. These, coupled with a ripe scholarship, the love of the student for study, and the capacity to forcefully announce and impart his findings, were so fully recognized by and known to his brethren at the bar as to leave no doubt that in the new- field his work would be speedily productive of splendid and lasting returns. This opinion as to what he would accomplish was unanimous — he alone being distrustful. That the opinion so widely entertained was justified, is daily attested by the fact that no young attorneys take higher rank upon coming to the bar than do those bearing the impress of his training. His deep interest in his students is very personal, too; and none of his boys, should there be a failure of one to creditably pass the State Bar examination, would feel a keener disap- pointment than would Daddy Burks, — as he is affectionately called. No doubt this loyalty to and pride in his boys is accountable largely for the love and esteem of these young men for him. But there is further reason for their affection and respect, and further cause for gratification over his selection, aside from that of Mr. Burks ' legal attainments. Young men, more than almost any class, esteem fair play, and they appreciate it as much in a professor as they do in their fellows in athletic contests. The men at Washington and Lee know that Mr. Burks plays fair : if he sets them hard tasks, they know he does the same for himself; he may require faithful work as the price of his esteem — but he re- quires no more than he gives; he teaches a scrupulous regard for the ethics amongst lawyers — and then practices good fellowship and frank straightforwardness with his class; he declares the necessity for good citizenship — and himself renders true allegiance and does full duty to his State and University; when he speaks of morality and right living, his students bear in mind his own earnest and constant Christianity. He hates pre- tension — and lives simply. To young men whose minds and hearts are receiving their last impressions before entering into the complex and coldly practical world of business, such teachings and such an example are of incalculable value in the making and strengthening of character. This is something too line to be measured by the materialist ' s standards. The results are felt not only in the life of the individual who receives such teaching and daily observes such example; these benefits will be extended and transmitted by the individual student to those of his fellow-men amongst whom he will spend his life and do his work. We must consider these far-reaching and potential influences in conceiving any proper apprecia- tion of the work being done by this student, lawyer, teacher, and Christian gentleman. S. V. Kemp.

T a meeting of the Washington and Lee alumni in Washington City held in the office of Prof. W. R. Vance, on February 5, 1909, the writer suggested that the alumni should try to raise a large endow- ment for their alma mater. A committee was appointed at that meeting to formulate a plan of action. After several meetings and much consultation with some of our alumni in Congress, the committee adopted a plan which, details omitted, included a vigorous appeal by letter to the alumni at large for the formation of a corporate alumni body to raise and hold a large alumni endowment fund for the benefit of the University. This plan was rejected upon being reported to a meeting of the Washington City Alumni Association held on May 4, 1910, and another committee, consisting of Messrs. Vance, Poindexter, Thom, Chamberlain, and Owen — two members of the local association and three others — was appointed to draw up articles of incorpora- tion for a Society of the Alumni, to raise, hold, and dispose of funds for the best interests of the University. A second resolution provided for a committee to go to Lexington and secure the cooperation of the General Alumni Association; this committee, however, was not appointed. Meanwhile time was pressing. The great body of the alumni, whose affair this was, had not been reached. Some sanction from them was most important before at- tempting anything at Lexington. Hence it seemed that something more than adopting resolutions was needed. Through the efficient help of Senator Chamberlain, the alumni in Congress were readily induced to undertake as individuals to communicate with their fellow alumni as individuals. This appeal to the alumni was made possible by funds furnished in part by some of our alumni in Congress — Senators Robert L. Owen, Geo. E. Chamberlain and Miles Poindexter, and Congressmen James Hay, James L. Slayden, H. D. Flood, and in part by other alumni, Messrs. John P. Walker, J. W. Bagley, Walter E. Harris, and Thomas Nelson Page. Between five and six hundred alumni signed and sent in the return postal card which reads: I hereby express myself as in favor of some form of incorporation of the alumni of Washington and Lee in order to give organization and permanence to a persistent effort to raise a large endowment for the University. In addition, many letters accompanied the cards, expressing the gratification of the writers that an organized movement was about to be set on foot and their desire to aid in its successful issue. So many replies upon such short notice showed th the alumni were ready to respond cordially to any reasonable appeal made to them. With this encour- agement, Senator Chamberlain, Judge John A. Lacy, and the writer journeyed down to Lexington together, where they were joined by Prof. W. R. Vance two days later. At the University we found Mr. Frank A. Nelson who, as president of the General Alumni Association, had been actively in touch with many of the old students. On fvlonday and Tuesday of Commencement week prolonged conferences were held, in which active part was taken by Senator Chamberlain, Judge Lacy, Frank A. Nelson, W. G. McDowell, Greenlee Letcher, Professor Staples (by request), E. W. Wilson, and others. Resolutions were formulated which were presented by W. T. Thorn to the general meeting of the alumni on Tuesday afternoon, Jur.e 14th, and were adopted after considerable discussion and earnest speeches in advocacy by Senator Chamberlain, Professor Vance, Mr. Bennet N. Bell, Ex-Gov. W. A. MacCorkle of West Virginia, and others. It will be noted in passing that the affair was distinctly of the alumni and by the alumni, the trustees and the faculty taking no active part in the proceedings, except Prof. A. P. Staples, whose legal advice was asked and kindly given. These resolutions provided for the preparation of a charter by Messrs. G. D. Letcher, W. S. Hopkins, and Frank Moore as a committee. These gentlemen promptly executed their trust on June 22nd; Judge S. H. Letcher gave his certificate on June 23rd; and the State Corporation Commission of Virginia granted the charter on June 29, 1910. The Charter is as follows: CERTIFICATE FOR INCORPORATION WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY ALUMNI, INCORPORATED. We, the undersigned, G. D. Letcher, Frank Moore, and W. S. Hopkins, of Lexington, Rockbridge County, Virginia, desiring to be made a body politic and incor- porated, do hereby sign and acknowledge the following certificate according to the laws of Virginia for that purpose: (a) The name of the corporation shall be The WASHINGTON AND Lee UNI- VERSITY Alumni, Incorporated.

The members of said corporation are to meet annually at Lexington, Virginia, during the Washington and Lee University Commencement. The trustees shall have the right to make by-laws governing the Board of Trustees and the corporation, and also prescribing the terms of admission to membership. There shall be eligible to membership in this corporation any alumnus of Washington and Lee University, but his right to exercise the functions of such membership shall depend on his compliance with the rules, regulations, and requirements as to payment of dues, etc., which may be promulgated by the by-laws made by the aforesaid Board of Trustees. Special meetings may be called by the Board of Trustees or by fifty members in writing. A quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the corporation shall consist of seven members, until some other number is fixed at an annual meeting, if pro- vided for by a by-law. The President, Secretary, and Treasurer shall be hereafter elected by the Board of Trustees for terms prescribed by the Board, and the Treasurer and the Assistant Treasurer shall execute bond with good security for the faithful dis- charge of their duties upon terms prescribed by the Board; and said officers shall hold office during the pleasure of the trustees. At the annual meeting to be held in June, 1911, there shall be elected seven trustees as successors to the trustees hereinbefore named, one of whom shall be the President of the Washington and Lee University Alumni Association, who shall be elected for the term of one year and annually thereafter, and two of whom shall be elected for one year, two for two years, and two for three years. At each succeeding annual meeting two trustees shall be elected as successors to the trustees whose term shall have expired; and if at any Commencement the corporation fail to elect their successors, they shall continue to hold office until their successors are elected and qualified. For good cause any trustee may be removed at any annual meeting of the corporation. At the annual meetings, the members of the corporation may vote either in person or by proxy executed before one witness and said proxy may be accompanied by instruc- tions in writing which will bind in the use thereof. Witness the following signatures and seals this twenty-second (22d) day of June, 1910. G. D. Letcher [seal] Frank Moore [seal] W. S. Hopkins [seal] The first aim of the officers serving under this charter is to get from the alumni a sufficient Working Fund to enable them to carry on an active campaign to obtain a large endowment for the University. This will be a work of time, of opportunity, and of persistent effort. This working fund should be, and will be, given with the under- standing that conditions may necessitate spending the last dollar of it before successful returns begin to show themselves. On the other hand, it may come to pass that large donations will enable the working fund itself to be devoted to some particular educational use or to be trusted into the general Endowment Fund. No one can, at this time, foresee the event. The essential thing for the alumni to do is to place this working fund in the hands of the trustees under this charter; the work can then go forward. The next aim of the Incorporated Alumni will be two-fold: to obtain funds, first, in order to increase both the personnel and the pay of the present teaching staff of the University; and, second, to realize in practical form more fully than is row possible the educational legacy left to the school by General Robert E. Lee. 1 hat legacy is in his letter of January 8, 1869, to the Trustees, and in the report of even date transmitted by that letter and drawn up under his inspiration by a committee of the Faculty. General Lee ' s letter, a model of precise statement, is herein given in full: Washington College, Lexington, Va., 8th January, 1869. Gentlemen: I transmit herewith the report on the extension of the Scientific and Practical De- partments of the College, prepared in accordance with the resolution passed at the last meeting of the Board of Trustees. The main points of the plan presented are as follows: 1st. The establishment of new Departments of Agriculture, of Commeice, and of Applied Chemistry ; 2d. A more complete development of the Engineering Schools now in operation, so that to the courses in Civil and Mining Engineering shall be added a distinct course in Mechanical Engineering, to embrace, besides Machinery, the most important branches of Practical Mechanics; 3d. The opening of a farm and workshops in connection with the instruction in Agriculture. Industrial Mechanics, and Practical Chemistry. The new departments proposed (Agriculture, Commerce and Applied Chemistry) are believed to be needed in the present condition of the country. Agriculture is, at present, the most important interest of the Southern people and must continue so for years to come. No effort, therefore, should be spared to advance it, and to extend to it all the advantages which science has bestowed upon manufactures. An agricultural school, where scientific principles and processes may be applied and illustrated, will be of efficient service. Similar schools have been found useful elsewhere, and the absence of any such in our State furnishes an additional argument for its organization. The establishment of a school of Applied Chemistry is to carry out the plan of the Board of Trustees, adopted some time since. In recommending a Commercial School, it is proposed, not merely to give instruction in book-keeping and the forms and details of business, but to teach the principles of Commercial Economy, Trade, and Mercantile Law. Such a school may, with great advantage, be added to the schools of the College, as many students may by its means prepare themselves for business pursuits while obtaining such scientific and literary culture in the other schools as time and opportunity may allow. The additional course in Engineering is necessary, in order to relieve the other courses, and to secure more complete instruction in machinery and the other branches of practical mechanics. It is proposed to establish a workshop in this department, where students may become practically acquainted with the use of tools ard the working of machinery, and thus add practical to theoretical knowledge. The great object of the whole plan is to provide the facilities required by the large class of our young men, who, looking to an early entrance into the practical pursuits of 15 life, need a more direct training to this end than the usual hterary courses. 1 he proposed departments will also derive great advantage from the literary schools of the College, the influence of which in the cultivation and enlargement of the mind is felt beyond their im- mediate limits. The establishment of s uch departments would, I believe, add greatly to the im- portance and usefulness of the College. Respectfully submitted, R. E. Lee, President Washington College. To the Finance Committee of the Board of Trustees. It would be pleasant to pause for comment upon this letter and to bring out more fully its far-reaching compass. When it was written, there was no regular instruction given either in agriculture or in practical mechanics in any school in the State of Virginia. General Lee ' s plan, therefore, broke new educational ground, and had he lived to carry out his designs, Washington and Lee, ere this, would have become easily the first educa- tio,-;al institution in the South, if not in the whole country. General Lee beheld with the wide vision of the seer the needs of his people, and be was laying plans to meet those needs. He was planning for the present alumni and for their sons ' sons. His aim has been attained in part, but only in part. He was in educa- tion as in war, essentially an engineer. It seems appropriate, therefore, that the alumni should address themselves first of all to carrying out that part of his plan most representa- tive of himself — the development of the great profession of the engineer. This should come through the enlargement of the School of Engineering founded by him. This aim the Trustees of the Alumni Corporation propose to themselves and to their fellow alumni, whose help they ask in its accomplishment. The rest of General Lee ' s plan can be taken up later. The Trustees of the Incorporated Alumni have in mind many other projects which recognize the right and the obligation of Washington and Lee to the name and fame of George Washington as well as of Robert E. Lee. The realization of these projects would be of great value to the University and their discussion might be of considerable interest at this time, but further opportunity for such discussion will doubtless arise. In the mean- time, let us urge our readers, whether undergraduates or alumni, to begm at once to do what they can, by word or by deed, for the further upbuilding of Washmgton and Lee; for the upbuilding of Washington and Lee means holding high and carrying fo;ward the standards of morals, of character, of manhood bequeathed as our school ' s heritage by George Washington and Robert E. Lee. l.l;.. . l■.• wr W. Siii:-!;VmN LEE UNiVliKbin | ' senior ilalDpers Here we have a military man.

He is the only transfer liom ihe University of Virginia ever seen who was willing I admit that that ancient and honorable institution is a prep school, but so he has recorded it in his Senior history. Born in Mississippi he found that climate not damp enough for hiin, and crossed the river to Arkansas. During his slay in ihe Law School, since October 18. 1909, to be precise as to the dale, Harvey has become famous as a propounder of inlerrogatories — a qualification which marks him as eminently filled lo 1,11 a chair in a law faculty. He has chewed up and digested the lexl-books on law, and will make the judges w lo try his cases turn green with envy. He never balked on any subject — except Partnership, and then it was not life-long pailnership lo which he objected, but Joe Long ' s. Denis Smurr Kilmer was bo.n in Martinsbuig, W.

High School has the honor of fitting him for college, a task which was done thoroughly and successfully. K.lmer entered Washington and Lee in 1905, and for the next two years was a disciple of Babe Willis and Jett Lauck, who awarded him in 1907 the scholarship in Economics and Politics. He was out of college two years, leturnine for Law in 1909. He started well by making 99 on Torts, and has kept the same stride through the course. Kilmer ' s will be an LL. B cum tauJe maxima.

His connection with the University dales back to 1903. so that he is one of the band of patriarchs known as the Senate, of which august body he is Vice- President. In . ' cademic days he was on the Gym Team, rowed on the Harry Lee boat crew, presided over ihe Washington Society, and won third place in the Hart-Schaffner and Marx Economics Contest of the University of Chicago. Getting his B. A. in 1906, Claude left the University for three vears ' teaching, but the call of Lexington was too strong to be withstood, and 1909 saw him back in the fold. He has instructed Freshmen and others for two yea rs in Malh. organized the University Band, resumed his role in the Washington Society, presided over the Harry Lee Boat Club. and assisted the Y. M. C. A. to keep going. 26 Charles Walter Mason. - •! ' K, native of Ohio, and sometime resident of Nowala, Okla.. was a belated addition to the ranks of Law 1911. It is a long advance from the University of Chattanooga to Washington and Lee, but Mason made the Iriinsfer. Mason is a member of the Theta Lambda Phi Legal F.atein.ly, President of the University Elks ' Club. and President of the Oklahoma Club. He w.ll get h.s LL. B. in June, and will return to Oklahoma to swell the rapidly in- creasing list of the Washinoion and Lee Law School ' s distin- guished alumni in that state. Daniel Walter McNeil has been a student at Washington and Lee at intervals since 1907. He was bo n in Pocahontas County, West Virginia, but has gotten all of h.s education in Lexington, as he attended the public schools and the High School here. Dan then transferred his allegiance to the college across the way, entering first the Academic Department and laler going into Law.

Retaining his love for the military he sought more of it at V.

The subject of this sketch, Joseph Wick.s Rhodes, K - , broke the solid ranks of Law 1911 by becoming a benedict in December, 1910, since which time he has, if possible, been more of a shark than before. Joe prepped at the Arkansas Militaiy Academy, and is a B. A. from the University of Arkansas.

The Tidewater Club numbers him in its ranks, and those composing it know his good qualities. The Washington Literary Society recognizes his ability. His logic is irresistible in the Goode Law Debating Society. 29 Like Achilles of ancient fable he is a marvel of strength — except that Robert Achilles Russell ' s strength is chieHy intellectual.

But is not our purpose here to add to the infor- mation of our contemporaries concernmg the illustrious character of this assembly of sprouting genuises, for res ipsa loquitur ; so here follows but a meager record of a few of the noteworthy achievements and numerous virtues of the Junior Lawyers, that posterity may have in their possession a memorandum n writing of the glories of their ancestors, and that the great deeds of this class be not effaced by time. September 16, 1910, was the momentous date upon which assembled this, the largest law class in the history of the institution. From rural retreats and clamormg burgs we assembled here to sit at the feet of Daddy and Joe and Sunny and Jack, and to listen to these sages expound the law. At once it became apparent that leadership in every field of college activity would be the keynote of this class. The other classes recognized this by choosing Charley Burks for President of the student body to fill the unexpected vacancy. In athletics, no other than Bob Thach was Manager for the followers of the pigskin ; while our gridiron hero, Clovis Moomaw, was made Captain of next year ' s squad; and little Hobson, the math shark, and Goosie Davis proved valuable assets to the team. In basket-ball days Captain Hannis marshaled the forces of the White and Blue, while Ruffner Campbell was a promising substitute. And, from all appearances, the class will also_be well represented on the crack baseball team this spring. There has arisen a great complaint among the literary society men, to-wit: that the Junior Lawyers have a corner on the medals which are annually given to the best orators and debaters, Kirby, J. A. McDonald, and Crogie having located three with only four in nubibus. Now as to the intellectual attainments of these young paragons and their propensity for imbibing wisdom from the fountains of jurisprudence, it lies within the , 5 jurisdiction of our professors to answer. However, we are certain that the Canons of Descent are subordinate only to the Ten Commandments; and we are convinced that a thorough knowledge of a Bill of Exceptions in Daddy; Burks ' Notes is a condition precedent to our salvation on Criminal Procedure examination; and also we are thoroughly satisfied that Livery of Seisin is the proper answer and explanation of every question that has arisen in Real Property in times past, or shall arise in futuro; in fact that Livery of Seisin is the open sesame to the law of Things Real, and to Sunny Jim ' s heart. The leadership of the class extends even to social affairs, the student body having selected a Junior Lawyer to occupy the highest position in that phase of University life — President of the Final Ball. We will rot attempt the gigantic task of describing the social graces and accomplishments of this class in relation to the fair sex. It is sufficient to add in this connection that some of our members are trying to forestall Daddy Burks in Pleading, and one has already been successful in winning his first case. Scarcely had we become absorbed in the mysteries of the law, when the typhoid epidemic broke out and we returned home to our parents, and — sweethearts. Soon the month of pleasure and diversion had slipped by, and we came back to face the ordeal of examinations. Two propositions were iDstilled into our minds by this time; first, that it is impossible to pass Contracts without knowing the Statute of Frauds and, second, Torts without getting the Non- Assignable Duties of a Master verbatim. So, certain of our members substituted the said legal requisites for their prayers, and said them care- fully every night before going to bed. But some of us neglected to say our prayers. To this may be attributed a small remainder of our number to next year ' s class. Limited time and space force us to close this inadequate record of the illustrious Junior Law Class of 1911. ' ou will learn more of us in the future when this class goes out to swell the ranks of the legal lights and to occupy the supreme benches of our commonwealths, for its influence will revolutionize the judicial world, and there will then be No doubtful balance of rights and wrongs. Nor weary lawyers with endless tongues. Historian. 36 junior Halu Class D. C. MOOMAW. II K C. N. HOBSON V. H. Mann, Jr., II K A. .Se ; II AN; Pre Vice-Pre el.ry-T.e 1, T. W. Fred.

South. Clifton Forge. Lee in 1907. and wil work. In reply lo Ol he said guess, which 58 f uuior Class J)istorj) HE space allotted to the class historian has proved altogether too inade- quate to narrate the multifarious achievements of 1912 durmg their sojourn of three years at Washington and Lee. All that could be written would require volumes, but it becomes the pleasant duty of the historian to go over the almost inexhaustible mass of material that comprises the record of the Juniors, and to make a skeleton or outline history, as it were, by selecting the most important events m the three- year life of the class. This history may best be treated, therefore, in three divisions, com- prising the Freshman, the Sophomore, and the Junior years. In September, 1908, there arrived in Lexington this remarkably able group of young men, who were about to enter upon an important period in their lives. After the class fight, the Sophomores were as quiet and harmless as Sampson shorn of his strength, and the remainder of the year was a period of peace, happiness, and progress in the pursuit of the wisdom of the sages. The grand and glorious beginning as Freshmen was continued in the Sophomore year, and the Class of 1913 were made to bow down and worship their masters, dreading the Class of 1912 more than they feared the ex-captain of police, the mighty mogul of New- comb, or any other of the would-be dictators of Lexington. The crownmg event of this year was the Sophomore Cotillion, which was pronounced by those who saw it one of the best dances ever given at Washington and Lee. But no one except a Junior can realize the feeling of relief of the Junior year from the Freshman and Sophomore rivalry, and of dignity as an upper-classman. This year marks the supremacy of 1912 along athletic lines. The football championship was ours, for we were without a rival capable of drawing out our real strength. In the race for the basket-ball championship, we so far outclassed our opponents that the remaining games of the series were never played. The class is also holding its own in other branches of college activities. We are making preparations for the Junior Prom to be given at Easter, looking confidently forward to making it the most brilliant success of our always success- ful efforts.

This is the end which historians generally have in view; but the chief object of the class historian seems to be to impress upon the mind of the reader the great fact that his particular class is undoubtedly the best that has ever been enrolled on the college register. Whether or not the Class of 1913 is the best ever registered at Washington and Lee, we we will leave to our fair-minded fellow-students to determine, and whether found guilty or not guilty it must be admitted by all that the Class of 1913 has had a most remarkable and successful career. We struck town in the fall of 1909, a wild-eyed, but determined aggregation of young men. We took the war path immediately upon our arrival and after bemg formally introduced to the dear Sophs, we assembled one afternoon on Wilson Field for the great Annual Sophomore-Freshman Push Ball Rush. The victory was won by the Class of 1913; score 40 to 12. In the fall of 1910 we returned to the city of Lexington with the same determina- tion we had had the year previous, and under the leadership of one Frederick William McWane we began our Sophomore year; and in passing, mention might be made of the fact that we distinguished ourselves right at the beginning by eliminating hazing in the form of street battles and resorted to a more dignified method. Late in September came the great Ball Rush. We again assembled on Wilson field and had chosen Turbyfill to lead us to victory; this he did, and for the first time since the Class of 1 908 won the class fights of I 904 and 1 905 has a class equalled their record of two successive victories. 1913 again proved their claim to supremacy in Push Ball contests by repeating their touchdown of last year. The band softly played to the tune of 40 to as the sick and wounded men were carried from the field. As to class honors, we captured them by the score. In our Freshman year we won the cup offered to the class that made the greatest number of points in the indoor meet. Our class furnished some of the best material that made up Washington and Lee ' s remark- able baseball team of 1910. The class football team had claim equal to any to the cham- pionship, judging from comparative scores, for the season of 1910. And, finally, the Class of 1913 had one more jewel placed in its crown of marvelous successes, the occasion of which was the Sophomore Cotillion given on February 20th. The dance was largely attended and said to be one of the most successful affairs given by any class at Washington and Lee. Surely this record is nothing less than remarkable, and we predict a great future for such a class. Historian. opi)omore Class F. W. McWane, i: H. E. MORAN. - N; L. R. Craighill.

These previous classes, by dint of severe labor, exasperation and cruel discomfiture often imposed by the heart- less Sophomores, finally succeeded in cutting for themselves a worthy niche in the hall of fame. But for the tribe of ' 1 4 there has been no need of all this pains- taking endeavor. From the very day when we first backed into Lexington and caught a glimpse of the field of action, it was evident that our success as an integral part of this institution was assured. History has been made for us, not by us, perhaps as the result of mere force of numbers (since we chance to be the largest Freshman Class that has yet arrived), but more likely because of the strong personnel of the class and our unyielding determination to stand by each other and not budge an inch. The first admission of our strength came early, when the wily Sophs had the number of our contestants in the class fight reduced from the usual forty to thirty- five. Weakened by this, ard also hampered by our inexperience in this particular brand of fighting, the natural result followed, although a post mortem of the fight showed that the number of our killed and injured was in the minority. Likewise in football, basket-ball and in other succeeding struggles with those who opposed us in class rivalry, while we were not so fortunate as to win every time, we upheld our reputation for fair fighting and proved ourselves good losers. As time has worn on in its ceaseless journey we have been gaining in strength and wisdom, gradually casting off the peculiar traces of verdancy so characteristic of the lowly first-year man. And we have dwelt in peace with the rest, being harried and worried by only one thorn in our sides — the untiring labors of the Vigilance Committee, an organization perpetrated by the Sophs for the suppression of all of 1914 who have been so unwise as to overstep the bounds of propriety. Fortune has attended us so far, and may the goddess never forsake us, but guide us on to future success and insure for us a glorious destiny, the deserving reward of merit.

No one has ever been able to discover what the W stands for, but it ' s a part of the name, and what ' s in a name? Holme r was born in Scoltdale in 1888. and has hved m his native village ever since. He entered the Engineering School with 1911, and this year is President of the Class. He is alsoi Vice-President of the Chemical Society and of the Pennsylvania Club. He will engage in the coal mining industry in the capacity of consulting engineer. William Trent Neel came from Dublin. ' a. He for- merly lived in Morristown. Tenn., but the call of the Old Dominion could not be withstood. Neel presides over the meetings of the Southwest Virginia Club with dignity and grace, and in the role of toaslmaster at their annual banquet he performed in great style, it is said. He also instructs the future engmeers in graphics. Being an up-to-dale man, he, of - curse, chose an up-to-date vocation, and will be a hydro- electric engineer. He is Vice-President of 1911. 70 « ritt Leckev McCown Kinnear, a nai the local High School in 1907. and, enterecj Washington and Lee. He is a membei Sidney Boa!

Early in life, he acquired a fondness for the military and attended St. Johns and the Virginia Polytechnic Inst i- tute. This martial propensity, however, was soon out- grown, and in January, 1909, he entered Washington and Lee, and will gel B. S. with the Class of 1911. Dutch is the historian of the Senior Engineers; a member of While Friars, and played the pari of Tubby in Brown of Harvard. Owen Dyer Colaw was bom in Monterey, Va.. July 13. 1887. He completed the course prescribed in the Monterey High School, and entered Washington and Lee in the fall of 1907. His fine work in Physics won him the scholarship in 1908, and he has served as Assistant in Physics since 1908. He was, during the past year. Executive Committeeman from the Senior Engineering Class. O. D. will follow Civil Engineering. 71 PoRFIRIo AUGUSTO BoNET, Jr.. is a nalive of Bayamo Cuba. He soon came inlo civilization, however, and graduated from Blight College, Philadelphia. He also attended Conway Hall and the University of Pennsylvania, before entering- Washmglon and Lee in the fall of 1910. After annexing hi B. S.. he intends to return to his nalive land and lo go into engineering work. George Bovn. B X. George has been Washington and Lee ' s standby in basket-ball for the past four years, and was captain of the team in 1910. and chosen All-South Atlantic forward in 1911. He is also the mainstay of the Track Team with the weights; but George is more than an athlete. He belongs to the Cuslis Lee Engineering Society, and afler graduating in Mining Engineering will follow that as his profession. Clarence Reed Carter. - l ' 1 of Houston. Texas. attended Peacock Military College in San Antonio, and hav- ing heard of Washington and Lee, he came up to Lexington and entered upon his collegiate life in the autumn of the year 1906. Nick accumulated a small fortune recently. and we hear it rumored that he has set sail upon the matrimonial sea. It is useless to wish him good luck. He will be a contracting engineer. 72 Henry Worsham Dew. Jr. K :;. was hom in Lynchburg. ' a.. September 21, 1891. He finished ihe High School, and enlered Washington and Lee in 1908. and. while the faculty wasn ' t looking, has grabbed his degree alter just three years ' work. Henry has played on the Scrub Football and on Class Basket-Ball and Baseball Teams, besides being a star on the Track. In 1909-10 he was Chairman of the Class Athletic Committee. He is a member of II . N. The far ■West has proven too attractive to be resisted, and next year Henry will study Mining Enginecrmg at the Colorado School of Mines. George Nelson Dulin, B X, was born in Leesburg, Va., March 24, 1887. He attended Randolph-Macon College two years, and in the fall of 1908 enlered Washington and Lee. He is a membe- of the Washington Literary Society. George is also an athlete, and was on the Albert Sidney second crew. 1910. and has been a member of the Football Squad for three years. His hard, consistent work won him the mono- gram in 1910. We know that in his chosen work of Civil Engineering he will be the same old steady and reliable Dulin. James Alexander Hanna, of Asbury. W. Va., attended the Morganlown Preparatory School before entering Wash- ington and Lee in 1909. .Along with the work of carrying a double course in Engineering. Jim has found time to attend the meetings of the Chemical Society, in which he holds membership. Upon receiving his Bachelor of Science degree, he will lake up Mining Engineering as his profession. 73 Oscar Henry Herr[NC was born in Soulh Carolina, but the capital city had its attractions, and he changed his resi- dence. After attending the Eastern Hiph School, he caine to Washington and Lee in September. 1908. Oscar won the Freshman Tennis Tournament in l%9. and also the mono- gram in baseball. But the enaineenng life is strenuous and allows lime for little else but work. He will gel his B. S. without a doubt. Thi. the sole and only inhabitant of little Delaware among our collegiale ranks. For FREDERICK Short Johnson. one October day in the latter part of the eighties, made his appearance in Millsboro. and has lived there ever since. He received all thai the High School had to offer, which was just enough lo pass college entrance lequirements. F. S. will get his Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering with 1911. and will go home and supervise a survey of Delawaie for enlargement purposes. J.. MEs Granville Johnston claims Mural. Va.. as his home, but we failed to discover any such place as this on ihe map. However, we will take his word for il that such a place exists. J. G. early showed a liking for things military, and allencled the Fishburne Military School. Upon outgrowing this martial proclivity, he came to Washington and Lee. He is a member of the Chemical Society, and will graduate in Mining Engineering with the Class of 1911. 74 Albert Hampden Jones. H X, was bom way down in Alabama, but earlv in life migrated lo Maryland, and settled In Cumberland. He prepared for Washmgton and Lee at the Cumberland High School, and in 1907 the Baltimore and Ohio Flyer brought h im lo Lexington on half fare. A. H. has been .Assistant Manager o( the Varsity Basket-Ball Team and Manager 1911 Basket-Ball. He has not yet decided upon his vocation in life. George Berry Leonard came from the unheard of village of Trappe. Md.. and, after receiving all that the local High School had to offer, he decided to become an engineering student at Washington and Lee. He is a member of the Mary- land Club and a Harry Lee. We will not be a bit surprised if we hear some day of George s being general manager of the American Locomotive Works. Here is a man from Stafford Court House. Va.. and he admits it. Surely there must be some truth left in this old A ' orld. Henry Moncure is that man. He attended William and Mary two years before coming to Washington and Lee. Henry is a Harry Lee; one of the Board of Governors of the Chemical Society; President of the Potomac River Club, and an ardent supporter of class athletics, having played on Football. Baseball, and Basket-Ball Teams repre- senting 1911. Henry expects to be a great chemist some day. 75 John Silliman Mullincs. Don ' l let the name fool you, for he is a iDise man all right; has won the Civil Engineering Scholarship, and never busted a ticket. John hails from the great burg of Bogalusa. La., and, after attending the Dixon Academy at Covington, La., decided that a wider field was necessary for his talents, and so he came to Washington and Lee. He will become an architect and beautify his native Louisiana. :J L4 Harry Rissler Phillips, i: ■! ' E, was born in Charles Town, W. ' a., finished the High School of that place, and entered Washington and Lee in the fall of 1907. He has played on his Class Baseball and Football Teams, and has been on the Basket-Ball Squad since 1909. He was on the Junior Prom Committee, and Final Ball Executive Committee, and Historian of West Virginia Club. Harry is a member of the Cuslis Lee Engineering Society, and will join the ranks of the civil engineers. This engineering shark, John Henry Poague, now lives at Haymakerslown, Va., but was born at Hayden, January 6, 1888. He attended Daleville College in Botetourt, where so many other minds have received their first training, but left in 1908 to enter Washington and Lee. John gained one year on us, and will receive his B. S. in Engineering with the Class of 1911. He will make Engineering his profession. Good nature is a synonym for Bruce Rice Richardson, ' P A H, He has been seen ruffled only once in his four years ' slay when Cub refused to let him go to the V. P. 1. game in Roanoke. Bruce is a native Tennesseean. but has been living at Hot Springs. Va.. so long that he scarcely remembers the fact. He came up to Washington and Lei Macon Academy with Whitey Warthen, liverett Manor, and proceeded to prove hi campus acivities. His specially is Math, of the II A N Ribbon .Society, and the Club, and played baseball with the Freshm. 1908. Bruce has a job waiting for him a; at Hot Spiings.

He is a good student, h his Bachelor of Science degree study Architecture. EImmett Lietch Tardv is a native product. He graduated from the Lexington High School in 1907, and thereupon entered Washington and Lee. Emmett is a hard worker, a loyal alumnus of L. H. S., and one of Davy ' s devoted disciples. After taking the degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, he will use the rod and bob a while. Later we expect to hear of him as chief engineer of the Harriman lines or President of the Santa Fe. 77 On a hot August day in 1891. at Langley, ' a, Sedcewick Walters made his entree into this • prepared for college at the Western High School inglon. and, having decided that Washington and give room to his many energies, in September. 1908 one of us.

Scott SENATORIAL ETCHINGS E are accustomed to regard with awe and veneration that mighty body which sits in solemn conclave and dubs itself and is dubbed by all the Executive Committee of the student body. We have come to feel that this worshipped group of men represents all that is learned and brainy and big and little among us. We watch its movements with thoughtful eyes and obey its decrees with thoughtless haste. For in it we see government and law and order; we see impersonated the greatness and glory of ourselves. But seldom — if ever — do we remember that among us is a tribunal which is great from no reflected cause, is powerful from no delegated authority, is portentous from no borrowed solemnity. We do not realize that in our midst there moves and works and has its being a body of men so eminent, so august, so authoritative, and so powerful as to far outweigh us in our own affairs, and the reason for this obscurity, for this our mental adumbration, for this our optical delusion, for this our tactual senselessness, is not far to seek. It lies in the very nature and the very conduct of the body itself. For this body moves behind a screen — a screen composed of the ostensible mightiness of this, our collegiate commonwealth. It evolves the ideas and the visible governmental authorities carry them out. But it is only as a body that this most notable convocation of the notables is obscure. The Dramatis Personae are known to all. It is only when one becomes the Honorable, the Member of the Senate of Washington and Lee, that one becomes nebulous and halo-istic to the Campus communers. The Senate! August name! August body! August members! Have you seen them — those august members — as they sedately pace our halls and corridors, our walks and driveways — gray-haired old men with the years behind them and the dignity of present glory upon them? Of course you have. And you have seen them proudly filling all the offices and using all the wise signs and knowing all the future events beforehand and wondered why things were thus. Wonder no longer. Examine brows deep-wrinkled with the pale cast of thought and over all a deep brooding as of experience linked with fancy, and be convinced that matters are as they should be. Yes, they are all old men and they all show experience. But they take age so differently. Let us examine them closely — some of them. Let us pick them to pieces, let us dissect them, let us, if need be, throw the muck-rake into their midst and stir them gently. Would we could show them sitting; but useless wish. The most noble place of holding the Senate has never been discovered. And so we hasten from glittering generalities to individual particularities. The man who founded the Smithsonian Institution was the son of a noble. Just what kinship the noble President of the Senate bears to that noble man ' s son it is impossible to say; but he must be more or less closely related, for the President is noble in over one sense and his last name smacks suspiciously of the aforementioned institution. 107 Like all aristocrats, he is at the top, but he didn ' t get there aristocratically — not he. Not on your Sunday trousers. He is an exemplification of the creed brains get there. He ' s there all right; has got more titular distinctions than a baby could cry at (all noblemen have honors of this kind, by the way) and possesses more brains than the law allows. With it all he ' s not rapid — he doesn ' t run after honors and he doesn ' t particularly notice exactly how he shoulders them once they have been thrust upon him. For he is a ponderous man and a weighty man and a roomy man and things fit him snugly, albeit grandly. When Senator Noble-man lists to speak, attention is paid him. He lists seldom; but he lists mightily and forcibly and his words come with the thud and jar and effect of pile-driver blows — slowly, surely, each one getting a little farther than before. He is slightly gray, this Senatorial Jupiter, gray from working out a tariff for the. benefit of the Athletic Association — I have been told; but about it I can ' t say positively. My own theory is that the aforementioned quality was brought to life by too close a study of twentieth century literature as found in the collegiate periodicals of our glorious republic. But there you are. He ' s a Senator for you — a Senator who is more than a Senator, a Senator who has become a Senator by reversal of the law of gravity. Ever upward has been his course, — President of his Senior Class, twice editor of the Ring-Turn Phi, Associate Professor of English, through more gradations still, and yet again some more until you find him, ponderous, weighty, learned, awesome, unapproachable, the mightiest being in our mightiest body — President of the Senate. And now imagine, if your brains can take in the majestic scene, a meeting of this selfsame Senate. Imagine the togated throng with the high and mighty Noble-man at their head as they sit and discuss matters of grave and earnest import. And in your mind ' s eye keep watch for the Senior Senator from New York (always a Senior, yet never a Senior! Can you puzzle it out?). The Senior Senator from New York is worth watching, let me tell you, for the Senior Senator from New York is there with the goods — and has always been there. There wasn ' t any rising about him. He has risen from the beginning, and so far shows no signs of setting. The Senior Senator from New York is one of the most vivacious, sprightly, talka- tive, graceful and charming creatures you will meet in a month of Tuesdays. He has the most magnificently equipped vocabulary, the most striking arrangement of ideas and the most copious outpouring of sentences one could wish for. He knows art better than Abbey, can talk drama with William Winter; has pointers on transportation and railroad regula- tions which Commerce I never heard of; and sees more clearly how Le. ington politics can be purified than ever did ex-Chief Lindsay. He is the next thing to omnipresent, and has been accused of being the most active non-performer in our collegiate world. But that perhaps is far-fetched. Let it be known, however, that this remarkable man can edit a Calvx, can conduct an orchestra, can lead a band, can train a glee club — and has done all four. He rides horseback for amusement ; talks for pleasure — never for publication ; makes impromptu speeches to sandwich together his multifarious activities; and yet, withal, takes life easily and smoothly and without jar. 108 For he ' s a smooth proposition — this Senator. He ' ll argue for hours and convnice you that you know nothing whatever about the subject in hand and that he knows a great deal more than you had thought possible. With suavity and gravity, but nevertheless with gestures and animation, does he argue, holding always in some mysterious manner or other eternal possession of the floor. And so we leave him — this Senior Senator from New York — this affable, polite, easy-running, actively-eruptive (and all the other conflicting characteristics you can think of) gentleman who so pleasantly ornaments an illustrious body and so worthily represents his native State among us. Nine rahs for him and then more! I he mantle of Depew has fallen; but not upon a Tammanite. The folds gracefully drape the curved shoulders of this supreme example of passive-activity, this versatile genius, this Senator, this Senior Senator from New ork. But long indeed would it take to go over the Senate Rolls and discuss wholly upon the characteristics of each individual concerned. They are all great men, wise men and the last is noble no less than the first. There is the creator of the University Band who with grave deportment looks sub- limely unconscious of having done a thing so trivial. He is the first effect of sunrise — or the first result, just as you please — and hails from our fair commonwealth ' s occidental namesake. The Senate has now been pleased with the light of his countenance for two years and begins to be sorely afraid that next year it will find itself in darkness. Senator C , who leads the local contingent (by the way, this tells nothing, as the locals have more than one Senator C ) is a prominent figure. Conservative estimates have placed his height at nine feet six and a half, but that, perhaps, falls short of the mark. He is broad-shouldered also, no sapling proportions about him. It takes extra territory in no mere international law sense for him to operate in. And he operates. Mark you, he gets there just as certainly and surely and precisely and actually as does a Chalmers-Detroit at full speed with the chauffeur well on the job and the wheels true to the axles. Elbow room is made for him — elbow room that General Burgoyne of Sara- toga fame would have given pounds sterling to have enjoyed. His broadness and his height give him commanding influence — which he uses to good advantage whether at a dance or at a meeting of the Senate for the purpose of discussing athletic relations with our friends(?) over the mountains; for the Senate has ambitions that our distinguished contemporary make a name for himself and for them by putting his glorious physique to effectual use upon the gridiron. So far the gentleman has shown more predilection for the dance hall and the calico element of our exclusive world. All Senators have aspirations — aspirations of all kinds. The fact proves senatorial humanity. But every once in a while there bobs up a Senator who has more aspirations than any six other Senators added up and multiplied together. So it is not strange that right here in this year of nineteen-hundred-eleven there exists such a Senator. He has aspired and aspired until the wonder is that he has not expired in the process. Probably he would have done so had not the aspirations generally terminated so happily. He started out modestly enough — a way all great men have — by getting a notion that he was the proper and fit person to preside over the meetings of the Graham- Lee Literary Society. Aspiring, like Paracelsus, he attained, and having attained, 109 like Paracelsus again, discovered he wasn ' t so very far after all. Consequently once more he aspired — took a deep respiration and aspired mightily. Like an aeroplane he rose, but, unlike that instrument, failed to come down. The monthly needed managing and he managed it. He still had some breath in his body, however, and he resolved to aspire again, determined in the bottom of his ambitious soul to be in two places at one and the same time. And he did it. The weekly needed editing; he edited it. So managing with one hand and editing with the other, he became ambidextrous; and with ambidexterity, there came acute double vision. Not the medical idea of double vision, mind you, but simply the ability to see two ways at once; and he saw well. A year rolled by. Once more did this senatorial genius get his perspiring aspira- tory system in working order. One breath made him manager of the newspaper which we read so eagerly every Tuesday night; another landed him into the executive chair, which has sufficed for the time being to check his upward gaze and inward longing. But he ' s not through yet — not he. He has too much of Alexander in him for any unambitious passivity. Then, too, he ' s named after the young Pretender — Charles Edward, you remember — and that spurs him on. The young Pretender was forever aspiring and died so doing; but the more he aspired the less he got. Our Senator is demonstrating the utter uselessness of historical precedent. He aspires — and attains. It follows, therefore, that he is not through yet. He has another year in the Senate — and before that year is out he ' ll be a perspiring aspirant for somebody ' s expiring honors. He ' ll get them and eat them and digest them, while the Calyx calmly but surely pre- pares to make him an allotment of three extra pages upon which to enroll his distinctions aspired for and won. But we must stop. David Graham Phillips wrote the Treason of the Senate. Where to-day is Charles Edward Russell? We take warning and for our own safety urge you to look up all the other Senators in that carefully prepared table which has been spread elsewhere for your delectation. 110 pi)i liappa l si Founded al WasH.nglon and Jefferson College. 1852 Active Chapters. 45 Alumni Chapters, 39 VIRGINIA BETA CHAPTER Established 1855 FRATRES tN URBE CoL.

Davis a lisi)t Critjute to a 0xm anD ( ooti JHan We have here at Washington and Lee a splendid record of growth and achieve- ment, an unequalled body of customs and traditions, and the promise of a future that shall be useful, that shall be conspicuous, that shall be transcendent. But in the realization of this greatness of our Alma Mater, let us not be unmindful of those who have given their lives to the broadening of her influence and the fulfillment of her mission ; for she reckons among her most cherished and priceless memories the labors of these great souls. Of this band of noble men who have given their lifelong efforts to the upbuilding of Washington and Lee we know, for the records stand in testimony. But the past rolls into the present; the cycle of noble and unselfish deeds, and of deeds well done, seems to pause for the moment; we catch a glimpse in this brief space of those workers who are endeavor- ing earnestly for the welfare of the institution. Of these is Henry Donald Campbell, than whom no institution had more faithful laborer, no body of men truer friend. The ready sympathy, the cheerful encouragement, the gracious charity of this kindliest of men, are diffused in full measure upon a student body that appreciates and respects and loves. Possessed of a pleasant and charming dis- position, he inspires now, as always, the confidence of all. No one ever came to him for assistance or advice in vain; sounder or wiser counsel than that received from Old Harry were impossible. In the daily intercourse of teaching and of friendliness, he is inculcating the principles of loyalty, patriotism, and scholastic integrity; and his example is leaving its imprint upon all who come in contact with him. 152 Co an Cgjjptian lE)asc (It was found in the Great Desert, firmly clasped by the hand of a human skeleton.

S. Walters Jfootball Reason, 1010 Football in the South Atlantic section did not provoke the same degree of enthusiasm as in recent years, due, no doubt, to the hostile agitation caused by the great number of casual- ties in 1909, and this lack of interest was to a considerable extent manifested at Washington and Lee. The squad was smaller than usual, both numerically and physically, and did not receive that whole-souled and unquestioning support that is essential to a victorious team and successful season. Many inevitable difficulties, however, con- tributed to the defeats which were met by the eleven. Captain Waddill, Simms, and Black- burn were the only monogram men who were able to play again, but injuries kept the first two out of the game nearly all the season. Black- burn was shifted, and of course had to learn the requirements of play in a new position. He was, however, steady and strong all season and played a consistent and dependable game. Al- though the system of coaching was new, the salient features of this system have now become established at Washington and Lee and it is to be gladly noted that there will be no change in 1911, for the three years of changing have not been without certain disadvantages. As in former years, the greatest difficulty with which the team had to contend was the apparent lack of condition of the men throughout the season. Never was Coach Pollard able to use the same Ime-up and at no time did he have an organized and definite backfield. Constant experimenting and changing were made necessary by the fre- quent injuries which were suffered by the men on the squad. The season as a whole was not without its bright spots. In the actual results of the season, we can well say that two games terminated very satisfactorily to us. After winning the two openmg games from Roanoke College and Hampden-Sidney with but a meager display of form, and after having a crippled team, com- posed almost entirely of Freshman material, badly defeated by Georgetown, the team dis- played real fighting spirit and grit in the contest against Davidson on Wilson Field. By a mag- nificent ending, we won fourteen to twelve. With only two minutes to play and with the score twelve to eleven against us. Miller kicked 164 from placement at the thirty-five yard Ime and changed the resuh from seeming defeat to vic- tory. The other bright spot was the game with North Carohna in Norfolk. Although this was not an e. hibition of great football on our part, nevertheless it was a display of nerve and grit seldom seen and we can feel justly proud of the team ' s performance. With four regulars d s- abled and the captain out of the game, we de- feated our Tar Heel rivals for the first time during the four years of football relationship, thus making one victory for each, the other two games having been ties. The final result of the annual game with V. P. I. was a bitter disappointment to the several hundred of the student body who had journeyed to Roanoke and had seen their team get the better of the Blacksburg boys to within three or four minutes of the close of the first two quarters. Here again lack of physical stamina was the insurmountable handicap. The Tech ' s team was strong and fast and seemed in just as good condition at the end of the game as during the early part. The Thanksgiving de- feat by the University of Alabama was another bitter disappointment. Although we outweighed our opponents, we did not equal them m speed or fight. The Alabama team put forth its best 165 efforts of the season to win from Dr. Pollard, who formerly coached there, and Washington and Lee was defeated three to nothing. After such a pessimistic discussion of the past year ' s work, it might give us a little more cheer to think of the future, and to give expression to hopes of better things. Last year for the first time in its e.xistence, Wilson Field was put in a really playable condition by the sodding commenced in June by Dr. Pollard. The improvement was wonderful, and undoubtedly the field will be in even better shape next year. And as to the per- sonnel of the team next year, we can say a few words. Clovis Moomaw, guard on the 1910 team, has been elected captain, and of those wearing the monogram, Kinnear, Rogers, Hobson, Miller, Harman, O ' Quin, Waddill and Burk will be out on Wilson Field, agaii; striving to put the White and Blue at its rightful place in the South Atlantic football ranking. The coaching system will be the same as last year and both alumni and undergraduates will put forth more efforts than ever before to turn out a winning team, for it is realized that the time has come when something must be done. 166 junior jfoottall Cram OFFICERS T.

Under the able lead- ership of Coach Kennoy and Captain Stras, the White and Blue developed a machine of ac- curacy, strength, and grit, and were the un- doubted winners of the championship m this section. The opening victory over Holy Cross, won by superior hitting and fielding, was an auspi- cious beginning, for this was one of the strongest teams in the East last year. During the Swarth- more games, Moran was hurt and the team was disorganized and displayed nothing like its later form. The only other defeat in Lexington was a 2 to 3 battle with South Carolina, and we won from Rutgers, William and Mary, Mary- 174 land Aggies, North Carolina, Georgetown (Ky.), Central University of Kentucky, and V. P. I., in two shut-outs. On the Southern trip, the I 5-inning tie game, to 0, with A. M. of North Carolina, was one of the greatest pitchers ' battles ever seen on a Southern College diamond, and Moran set a new record by striking out twenty-eight men. The long trip told heavily on the team in the remaining games, and while we broke even with Trinity and the University of Georgia, we lost two out of three to Alabama. The team as a whole was probably the best that ever represented Washington and Lee on the diamond. The batting was heavy, five men hitting over .320 and the general average beirg nearly .250. The fielding, both in the infield and outfield, was excellent and the pitching staff superior to anything in the South. Both Moran and Efird received offers to go into the first ranks of baseball on account of their brilliant work. Sweaters with the monogram were given to the members of the team in recognition of the success which they had attained, and to Coach William Kennoy for faithful ard effi- cient services. The 1911 season has started with the same promise of success. All but three of the 1910 ii monogram men are playing again and these vacancies are well filled. The opening game with Roanoke College was taken by a football score and m a two-game series with Penn. State, which admittedly has one of the best college nines in the country, Washington and Lee took one of the contests in as pretty an exhibition ol baseball as was ever seen here. By Dr. Pol lard ' s efforts, we are in possession of a well- drained grass diamond which will permit many games that would be otherwise impossible on account of the weather conditions. New bleach- ers, back-stop, and fences have been con- structed, and covered players ' benches along the most modern Imes. With these improvements to Wilson Field, and with such a beginning, the season should bring forth even greater develop- ments than did the season of 1910. BASKETBALL H E. Hannis Captain T. McP.

I 178 33a6hctiBaU Reason. 1911 The 1910-191 1 schedule was the longest and most difficuh ever attempted by a Wash- ington and Lee basket-ball team, and the record of eleven games won against eight lost was most creditable, taking into consideration that thirteen out of the nineteen contests scheduled were played away from Lexmgton. The vacation trip could hardly be called a part of the regular schedule, as only three men on the team that made this trip became regular Varsity men; nevertheless, an even break was secured with the Charlotte Y. M. C. A. and the Asheville Athletics. The northern trip was wonderfully successful, the White and Blue winning from Virginia, Maryland Aggies, Franklin and Marshall, Mount St. Mary ' s, and Frederick Athletic Club; the two games lost were to Swarthmore and the Navy, two of the very strongest teams in the East last year. In Lexington, Washington and Lee won handily from Roanoke College, St. John ' s Col- lege, Maryland Aggies, and the University of Tennessee, but lost to Virginia and V. P. I. 180 in hotly contested battles by the failure to get into game until the second half, when it was too late to overcome the leads; and furthermore, by the inability to throw fouls in these two games with any degree of accuracy and consistency. The Washington Post picked the White and Blue team as having tied for the championship of the South Atlantic section with Virginia and Georgetown, eliminating V. P. I. on account of its failure to meet enough representative teams in this section. But Washington and Lee con- ceded that V. P. I. had a better team and that the championship honors of 1911 should go to the Tech team. The PosI selected an All- South Atlantic quint and George Boyd, for lour years a Washington and Lee forward, was given a position on this team. As a fitting close to a successful season, the Combined Musical Clubs gave a musicale on Friday evening, March 1 0th, in honor of the team ' s work, and white sweaters with blue monograms were presented to each regular and to the coach.

Although the weather and the unforeseen cancellation by our op- ponents prevented the two meets scheduled in Lexington, yet there was a greater interest manifested in the track team on the part of the student body than ever before. The meet at Wake Forest. North Carolina, where we won from Wake Forest College, 58 to 48, and the meet at Chapel Hill in which we were defeated by the University of North Carolina, 60 to 44, were successful from every standpoint. Washington and Lee made a splendid showing in both, Clark, Glass, Anderton, Satterfield, Larr ick, Robbms, Stone and Walter being the chief point winners. From the viewpoint of the betterment of our records which, on account of the youth of track athletics here, are not what they should be, the year was splendidly productive. Satterfield lowered both the 120-yard and 220-yard hurdles, Walter raised the hammer throw, Clark lengthened the broad jurrp, and Anderton lowered both the mile and half-mile. This makes seven records broken, and if anywhere near a proportionate ad- vance continues, it will not be long before our track records will compare favorably with the other institutions of Washington and Lee ' s rank throughout the country. But only when we have a new and well-equipped gymnasium, and a cinder track on the athletic field, together with the services of a professional trainer and coach, can we hope to take our rightful place in intercollegiate track athletics; and with prophetic eye, we look into the future, and say that the time is not far distant when these aforementioned requisites of a successful track team will be ours. 190 jiaiaBi ' ' GYMNASIUM W.

The old saying, A sound mind in a sound body, is the goal toward which all should strive. The forms of physical exercise are manifold. But every man may not be able to play football, nor baseball, nor basket-ball, neither run Heetly nor handle the weights, nor pull a good oar; nevertheless, it is within the power of all to take gymnastic training, provided always there is the equipment for such work. Interest in gymnasium shows clearly that a man cares for his physical development and is not attracted by love of sport or desire for college honors. The gymnasium is, therefore, the asserhbling place for the large majority of students who are anxious for physical training, but who would be an encumbrance upon coach and team in the aforementioned branches of athletics. During the past year, enthusiasm for gymnasium work has not abated, as attested by the first-class performance of the team in the annual exhibition, March 1 8th, and the high standard set by former teams was lived up to fully. The diligent training by Instructors Breidenbach and Larrick was appreciated by the large number of men who took advantage of this. Dr. Pollard introduced expert physical examinations into the work and prescribed certain systems of exercise, suited to individual needs, which were productive of much good. In brief, the gymnasium season was wonderfully successful when building and equipment are considered ; we had an excellent team, and many individuals who took advantage of the work in gymnastics received lasting benefits. 194 BOAT CLUB OFFICERS C.

The Annual Regatta Has Become Firmly Established as a Feature of Final Week- Far back in 1874, the Harry Lees and Albert Sidneys raced for the first time; in clumsy rowboats, the crews slowly pulled their tedious way over the course; but now the swiftly gliding shells of the newest type cover the mile in a little over four minutes. This time compares favorably with that of any four-oared crews, and if intercollegiate racing were inaugurated, the white and blue crew could hold its own with all comers. The gay scene on the island, the great excitement, the race, and the presentation of the Pinckney Cup to the winning crew are among the most pleasant events of Finals. But last year we had to forego these pleasures. For days previous to Tuesday, the time always set for the race, the rain poured, and on that day Old North River was a raging torrent. Postponement brought no relief, consequently the 1910 Harry Lee Crew could not contend with the 1910 Albert Sidney Crew for supremacy. The work on the river was begun long since, and the training is proceeding earnestly and determinately. May no unforeseen nor unfortunate circumstances arise to prevent the 1911 regatta. We understand that there is a movement on foot to have the two crews, combined as one in an eight-oared shell, race the crew of the Virginia Boat Club in Rich- mond after the race here. Some years ago the winning crew raced annually the four-oared crew of the Virginia Boat Club at Richmond, and in four such contests three were won by our crews. It is sincerely hoped that the present plans will materiahze, for it is the first step toward intercollegiate racing. Then, and then only, will our wishes and hopes for the crews at Washington and Lee be realized. TMNIS OFFICEFIS W. W. GWAIHMEY. R. V. Pipes President .Secretary- 1 reasurer J. T. Clark L.

Freeland COACH POLLARD C1)f C ufutj? 5 f fnt1) iunual Er )i5ion of t1)r jfoottall EulfS Editorial Note. — The Calyx here publishes for the first time, nnth interpola- tions, the changes in the football rules as adopted bv the Rules Committee of the Associa- tion of College Professors Tvhich convened in Washington last January, of which committee our oivn Dr. Stevens was chairman. The athletic world has awaited the conclusions of this committee with breathless interest, for, composed of the foremost figures in the ranks of American education, it has been universally felt that its decisions would constitute the final and ultimate revision (downward) of the rules of the great colle- giate game. This committee has held frequent executive sessions throughout the winter and the members have supplemented their broad practical Ifnowledge of the game with a deep analytical study of its theory and evolution. The changes which they propose to enforce will unquestionably obviate the frightful inhumanity of the game, making of it a perfectly proper and lady-like pastime as well as adding to it the undreamed advantage of promot- ing scholarship, industry, gentlemanly conduct, forbearance, and other assorted virtues. Eligibility of Players. — The different collegiate associations or conferences shall in the main pass upon the eligibility of the players among the colleges concerned, but there are certain fundamental rules applicable to all. The following are prohibited from playing on any college team: (a) First-year men, commonly designated Freshmen. (b) Any who, according to the recognized standard of grading, have made two successive grades below 90 in one year in any one study, or who have made grades below 90 in two or more studies during one scholastic term. (c) All men in the professional schools except in such as are professional alone. (This rule was brought in in order to exclude any possible taint of professionalism in a game so purely collegiate. ) Length of Game. — The length of the game shall be, as heretofore, sixty minutes, but divided into but two periods of twenty minutes each, with a twenty-minute intermission, during which time the home team shall serve light refreshments to the visiting team, enter- taining them in a friendly and hospitable manner. In case of darkness before the com- pletion of the game the home team shall escort the visiting team safely to their quarters. Beginning of Game. — In lieu of the undignified and somewhat juvenile custom of tossing a coin to decide the choice of goal or kick-off at the beginning of the game, the following procedure is substituted: The two teams, headed by their captains, shall line up in the center of the field or before the stands, with a distance of ten yards between. The referee shall take a position at the head of the two lines with a substitute of each team in attendance. A box shall have been provided in which shall have been placed twenty- 202 two slips on which are written questions relating to some subject or subjects of collegiate study, as prepared by a special committee composed of the referee and a member of the faculty from each of the contesting schools. This box shall be placed in the hands of one of the attending substitutes and the other shall draw from it one slip at a time, passing it to the referee, who shall put the questions alternately to the members of the two teams in line of succession, beginning with the captains at the head. 1 he referee shall grade each answer and the team obtaining the highest average shall have the choice of kicking off or of defending goal. (This plan, which met with an enthusiastic reception before the convention, was vigorously urged by the rules committee on the grounds that not only would it promote scholarship among those endeavoring to make their respective teams, but would necessitate a college graduate for a referee and one who had been a thorough and earnest student, thus eliminating those rude and unlettered persons who have sometimes in the past been called upon to officiate.) Position on Line of Scrimmage. — The players shall take their positions in the same order as formerly. The players of the side defending its goal shall stand erect, with folded arms as if defiant. The members of the team in possession of the ball with the exception of the s napper-back shall also stand erect — at attention, awaiting the signal of their captains. (It was thought that the fine military bearing which may thus be de- veloped during the tense moment before the passing of the ball will have an inspiring effect upon both players and spectators, as vs ' ell as doing away with that horrid custom of the two lines charging into one another so roughly.) How Ball is Put into Play. — Following each down after the two teams have assumed their respective positions, the quarter-back of the team carrying the ball shall approach his captain — where the two are distinct — and shall ascertain from him the course of the next play, or shall acquaint him with it, as the case may be. The quarter- back shall then notify the player selected to carry the ball, whereupon the latter shall turn and, addressing the captain with a salute, shall say in a clear, loud voice (but not too loud — penalty, five yards, referee), Captain, shall I play through, or around, so and so? (indi- cating the course of the play), to which the captain shall reply, Pray do. The snapper- back shall then pass the ball to the quarter-back, who, in plain view of all, shall turn and with a ceremonious bow hand it to the player called upon. (It was urged for this change that it would obviate any unsportsmanlike advantage which might be taken of the defending team such as obtained under the former despicable custom of secret signals and would give such team a full and fair opportunity to really detect and oppose the play.) Method of Opposition. — The team defending its goal may not cross its op- ponent ' s line of scrimmage, nor may the player carrying the ball, nor his interference which will have gathered about him hurriedly be interfered with by any of the defending team, until he has crossed its line of scrimmage with evident intent towards its goal. Only then may the ball be considered in play and shall be so considered until some one of the defend- ing team shall have touched the runner, saying, Tag, you ' re it, to the satisfaction of the referee, whereupon the ball shall be considered dead and a new down begun. In the 203 case of a forward pass the ball shall not be considered to be in play until the player who is to receive it shall have advanced five steps towards his opponent ' s goal line. Obstruction of Opponents. — No player of either side while in the act of catching, kicking or running with the ball shall be tackled, thrown or tripped, pushed, pulled, shouldered, straight-armed, intimidated, rattled, biffed, banged, or otherwise handled in a rough or unseemly manner. Necessary Gain on Downs. — If in three consecutive downs a team, having con- stantly had the ball in its possession, shall not have advanced the ball twenty-five yards, it shall go to the opponents on the spot of the fourth down. Conduct of Players. — There shall be no striking with the fist, nor elbowing, kicking, kneeing, heeling, biting, gouging, nor scratching, laying on of hands with hostile mtent, no running into or over, no pihng up, nor other unnecessary and unbecoming rough- ness under penalty of expulsion from the game and liability to arrest on a charge of assault and battery to be preferred by the referee. (b) There shall be no unsportsmanlike conduct on the part of the players. This shall include the use of violent, abusive or profane language to opponents or officials as well as any unwonted display of temper, such as striking the ground angrily with the foot, querulous comment, etc. Penalty — The player committing such an infraction of the rules shall be required by the referee to publicly apologize for the offense to the person offended, or else to suffer suspension from the rest of the game, together with a loss of ten yards to his team. Equipment of Players. — The regulation uniform to be worn by all teams under the jurisdiction of the several collegiate associations shall consist of a neat sweater vest of some solid color chosen to distinguish the team, canvas trouserettes without padding except in the hips, as the player may desire, and without cane strips; heavy-ribbed stockings of a color to match the sweater, and canvas shoes, rubber sole, and without cleats of any kind or projecting irons or nails. Each player shall be required to wear collar and tie — preferably of a uniform color. Wristlets, armlets, anklets, etc., displaying the college colors are permissible, though somewhat in bad form. All extra trappings formerly made necessary by the brutal character of the game, such as head harness, nose guards, shoulder pads, knee pads, shin guards, etc., are prohibited. (This new departure on the part of the committee in attempting to regulate the mode of dress of the players has its justification in the committee ' s general desire to elevate the moral and aesthetic tone of the gridiron as well as to reduce the hazard of the game. As Mr. Spaulding, in his brilliant treatise upon football, so aptly put it, The football player in the eyes of the spectators at most games is a hero. He seems to possess in their minds attributes that are different from the ordinary run of men. Is it not well then that this man who is regarded as a hero should appear before those who admire him in the best possible manner? He can only do so if he has on a uniform that is suitable for the game he is playing. ) 204 Commrntci Ran}(-hum Fye : These rules are just what we should expect from such a commiHee under the leadership of such a chairman. 1 hey have been syslematically worked out for the purpose of developing true chivalry and politeness, and will meet with a hearty reception among all lovers of pink teas and physical experiments.

Collier ' s Irrational IVeaf ly: It ' s preposterous and farcical. Such minor changes will do no good, but only evil. We favor a drastic revision, which will give the great American collegiate game perma- nence and durability. H ' . Camphor : The serving of refteshmenis by the home team is an important phase of these lules and will bear close scrutiny. 1 should advise every team lo carry an expert chemist along with it or be prepared to submit to the lender mercies of dope artists. Jean Cuillaume, H. P.: My only regret is that the Committee hadn ' t finished its labors in lime for the Alabama game. PrexV, M. D.: The rules meet wilh my heaity endorsement. They supply a long-fell want in giving full scope to the desires of the young man who wishes to shine as a gridiron hero and to go on to graduation. T. Boosterfelt in The Loo oul : The lasting good to this great country which every one sees in the 27th Revision of the Football Rules insures to the Committee a right and proper recognition of ils work by the public. I do not hesitate to assert that, for far-reaching and beneficial results, this Com- mittee has surpassed any commission of experts for revisional purposes yet appointed. Ct)r JHaiti o!

In our national life, the trend is toward centralization through increase of federal power. The great commercial organizations of this day have been made possible and have expanded to phenomenal proportions through concentration of interests and activities in modern industrialism. As centralization has become intimately associated with cur national progress, so incorporation, a form of centralization, is the keynote of progress in individual companies and institutions. In fact, this centralization of efforts and interests has become almost synonymous with increase in usefulness and power and influence. Furthermore, the remarkable success of certain organizations which are cor- porate bodies has been due solely to combination of resources and concentration of energies. The great possibilities of centralization are clearly seen; the glamor of wonderful achieve- ments that have resulted from just this, fascinated even the institutions of learning and spread to historic old Washington and Lee. The spirit of incorporation first settled upon the alumni. Wherefore should not greater things be accomplished by them as a corporate body if in this should be concentra- tion of plans and efforts? The idea of a great corporation composed of the alumni of Washington and Lee was most appealing. The centralized corporation was needed : for the efforts and energies of each individual should form a part of the greater effort of the whole body; homogeneity of plans and action should replace the heterogeneity of the mere association of members. Therefore a closer organization of the alumni was effected, a charter of incorporation was received, and the Washington and Lee Alumni, In- corporated, came into existence. It is not expected that incorporation will induce greater loyalty nor inspire greater love in the alumni for their Alma Mater. We have a body of alumni who are devoted to the welfare of the University. It is true that there has been no unity of action. With the new organization, however, this will be changed; a new order of things has come upon us which will mean a unified and combined effort toward one specific end at a time. This is a tremendous step toward the support of the institution by her alumni; and if progress had taken no other form than this one incorporation, the year would have been wonderfully productive of good. But the spirit of incorporation had not hovered above the Old Varsity for just one fleeting moment. Originating with the alumni, the idea seized the undergraduates and the benefits to be derived from incorporation of certain strictly college activities were seen. The Dramatic Club was the first moved to action; a charter was granted by the State Corporation Commission of Virginia to the Dramatic Club of Washington and Lee, and a new era in histrionic activities was entered upon. Two productions were put on in Lexington during the year, the latter of which was Brown of Harvard. The lack of an adequate theater was a serious handicap and the transformation of the gymnasium into a playhouse required untold and prodigious work. But in spite of the fact of this being the first attempt at anything so nearly professional by undergraduates here, the production was ' eminently successful. When recalling the new and experimental features, the trip of the club was an even greater success. The press notices of the performances in the cities visited by the players were most complimentary, both to their appearance and behavior off the stage as on the stage. With this favorable and enthusiastic beginning, next year promises, with the experience already gained, more brilliant triumphs for the Dramatic Club. The play that 214 will be produced will be written by an undergraduate or by an alumnus, and the production will be Washington ard Lee ' s in the truest and broadest sense. Another student activity that has gained through centralization is the musical clubs. The organization of these into the Combined Musical Clubs was effected during the spring of 1910. It consists of the Mandolin and Guitar Club, Glee Club, Orchestra, and Band, ard is a strongly unified body m which cooperation and concentration of the several branches toward one and the same end is admirably realized. The Combined Musical Clubs, therefore, may be considered as a corporate body having an integral e.xistence, but composed of several distinct parts which are strongly and securely linked together into one central whole, and thus the process of concentration of activities continues. But progress during the year has not been alone of incorporation. As we look around, we see the unmistakable signs of steady advancement. Yonder work is being pushed forward for the completion of the University Commons. Over on Wilson Field many changes have been wrought: bleachers have been built, a quarter-mile track laid off, ard the whole field sodded and refenced; with these material improvements, we have now a really up-to-date athletic field. All in all, the year just past has brought about solid advances toward an institution of greater efficiency, broader usefulness, wider scope. We have now a great college surrounded by three unexcelled professional schools of Com- merce, of Engineering, and of Law. We realize our present greatness, but - ot content, we are ever looking forward to that Greater University. PHI BETA KAPPA For several years, the question of securing a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa here had been discussed, but no definite action was taken until March, 1 909. Correspondence was opened with the secretary of the United Chapters and the securing of the necessary number of endorsements was begun. The application was approved by the Phi Beta Kappa Sen- ate, March 4, 1910, ar.d granted by the National Council at its triennial meeting in New ' ork City last September. The charter members of this new chapter, which will be known as the Gamma of Virginia, are the trustee and faculty members of the Society who re- ceived the key elsewhere. A hm.ted number of the most distinguished alumni have been invited to membership, and from the graduating class certain who have attained high rank in scholarship will be asked to become members. As The Calyx goes to press, prepara- tions are being made for the installation of the chapter, and the charter will be delivered by Dr. Edwin A. Grosvenor, of Amherst College, President of the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa. This oldest Greek Letter Society was founded at William and Mary College, De- cember 5, 1776. Its activities were early transferred to New England, however, and branches were established at Yale and at Harvard. The Society now has chapters in more than seventy of America ' s foremost colleges and universities. In this growth and ex- pansion, the process of grantirg charters has not been made easy, hut increasingly difficult. The application is made by the Phi Beta Kappa men connected with the faculty of the institution, who, in case of a favorable outcome, are the charter members. Each applica- tion must have the endorsement of five ex, sting chapters, bei.ig accompanied by a statement of the strength and standing of the institution, and pass the scrutiny of the Senate before it IS ready for presentation to the council. Then the affirmative vote of a majority of all the chapters is necessary. Being based on scholarship, the Society has for its object the pro- motion of friendship among American scholars and college graduates. As one of the most distinguished members of Phi Beta Kappa, Dr. J. G. Schurman, has fittingly said, Ours is a kinship, in part of attamment, but mamly of ideal and spirit. It is a custom among savages to establish brotherhood by giving them the tribal blood to drink. Members of Phi Beta Kappa have been made brethren by tasting the Pierian fountains and taking thence a thirst which no meaner draughts can allay. . . . Phi Beta Kappa, I sometimes think, is the storied invisible church. It transcends the division of sects. It is both unitarian and trinitarian. It is unitarian, for it embraces all who are knights of the Holy Spirit, and it is trinitarian, for it lives by faith in the substantial and indivisible reality of the true, the good, and the beautiful. As in the past, many of our most illustrious scholars and public men have been members of the Society, so the present generation is proving true to high ideals, and leaders in education, in letters, and in public life are members of Phi Beta Kappa. Each succeeding generation will haveits list of equally distinguished members, who, guiding their lives by her noble philosophy, shall prove an inspiration to all who may be privileged to wear the golden key. We are proud of the honor conferred upon our Alma Mater in the granting of her application, and rejoice in this signal recognition of her scholastic thoroughness and strength. Such a stimulous to higher intellectual efforts will bring greater glory to her already enviable record. THE ADVENT OF FRATERNITY HOUSES Many changes ha e been taking place at Washington and Lee during the past few years; changes indicative of the material growth and expansion of the Old Varsity, but also characteristic and persistent and inevitable changes that affect the customs, ideas, and mode of living of the student body. We are in a transitional process; we are advancing toward that Greater University of which we have heard lately so much and which will mean increased equipment, increased facilities and increased usefulness and influence. As among these changes, we recognize the entrance of the fraternity house into our midst. Four or five years ago the fraternity house system, which is established and is maintained in a great many of our colleges and universities with varying degrees of success, was practi- cally extraneous ard untried here; it exists to-day as an important element in the under- graduate life of the institution. But with its development arises the problem of regulation and adjustment; and the wise and judicious and felicitous solution of this problem deter- mines the nature of the results consequent to having fraternity houses at Washington and Lee. Let regulation and adjustment be disregarded, and evils are certain to follow: the step will be backward rather than, as it should be, a progressive movement in the life of the University. Earnest consideration and careful oversight in the application and es- tablishment of this system as a feature of our collegiate life are absolutely necessary, if it shall be significant of progress. The inauguration of the system has already taken place; its ultimate success depends upon the sound and proper conduct and management of the individual houses, and this can come only through effective and thorough study of condi- tions. Furthermore, the fraternity house should become a potent factor in raising under- graduate endeavors and ideals to a higher plane, and therefore, a factor in the development of a more useful, a more splendid, and a more exalted Washington and Lee. ACKNOWLEDGMENT The successful consummation of a task, we believe, is always productive of more or less pleasure and self-satisfaction. The actual performance of the work may be difficult and somewhat irksome; in the anticipation of accomp lishment lies the pleasure of pains- taking and laborious efforts. As we look back over our work in connection with the com- pilation and publication of this year-book, the full force of this truth is realized; yet the labor has been generally pleasant and there have been many delightful moments on account of the hearty cooperation and the sincere efforts of our friends and co-workers. We trust, nevertheless, for our greatest pleasure in completion, that is successful and meritorious and that discharges to the fullest extent the duty committed to us. But how well we know that this completion would have been impossible but for the generous assistance and liberal bestowal of time and efforts of these same friends and co-workers! Certain it is that in this year, 1911, we have been blessed with a most willing and accomplished staff and with the rarest friends. And this feeble attempt to express our appreciation and gratitude is uttered with a heart full to overflowing. First of all, our thanks are due to a true and devoted friend of Washington and Lee. now and for several years the wise and faithful helper of every one who endeavors to edit this annual. In spite of the pain of a broken wrist. Miss Page 7 aylor has done a large part of the drawings and posters. In so doing she has given abundantly of her time and talents, and we are sincerely grateful. We know of no such supreme example of unselfish devo- tion and love than has been shown by her for Washington and Lee. We express our gratitude to Miss M. A. Minor and Miss Margaret Russell, and to Messrs. John McCracken, J. R. Barr and John Graham for further drawings and posters. But for the loyal services of these, we would have been completely helpless and indeed in a sad plight. Also we are under lasting obligations to Devall Gwathmey, who designed th e cover and aided us munificently in planning the illustrative and artistic portion of our book. Dr. William Taylor Thorn, of Washington, D. C, a wise and zealous laborer for the furtherance of our Alma Mater ' s influence and potency, very graciously acceded to our request and has written the account of the incorporation of the alumni. We are sincerely grateful. This forward step, which was conceived by Dr. Thom and in which he is enthusiastically and intensely interested, promises to be productive of great results for this institution. Mr. S. V. Kemp, a well-known and highly respected member of the Lynchburg Bar, has expressed for us aptly and forcefully our sentiments towards Dean Burks, and we extend our appreciation and gratitude. For many years Mr. Kemp was associated inti- mately with Mr. Burks in the practice of law. We acknowledge with pleasure the great assistance of Messrs. R. P. Ashley and H. C. McGavack, to whom we are indebted for the poetic and humorous compositions herein. We would not complete our acknowledgment of assistance without a word of grati- tude and appreciation to Mr. W. K. Ramsey, Jr. He has given us many valuable and timely suggestions, which have appreciably lightened our labors. He also reported the results of the deliberations of the committee which undertook the twenty-seventh revision of the football rules, and, not wholly agreeing with this revision, has expressed himself somewhat satirically upon many points. These reportorial services should not be unac- knowledged. And now the work is finished and as we close our labors upon a task that has had its worries and its disappointments, but withal many pleasurable and gratifying phases, we trust that these pages may hold in the years to come some slight reminder of days spent at old Washington and Lee during the session of nineteen-ten and eleven. 217 When life lies humbled, and eternity Mocks at my shapeless clay that ' s found its kind. Let not soft tears — cold sorrow ' s dignity — Dampen the dust that glories with the wind. Proud dust! — too proud to yearn for tardy grief — The breath that once you knew was drawn in pain; And thus neglected, you disdamed relief From such as this world is: forgetful, vain! Thy friends — if friends they were — now bend and sigh. And clamor for the sables, thinking how Such cold convention feigns the heart and eye; — Yet limns with darker hue the shaming brow! Let Nature be my friend, a mourner true. When life has fled and left the dust behind; Her tears are but the falling of the dew; Her dirge, the dreamful requiem of the wind.

S iaD , Marl( Twain, and all other writers who have a jaeilily for saving exactly what they don ' t mean. jN days long since dead to have written something was sufficient — ro matter what that something might be. But times have changed. At present a writer — or one who chooses to call himself a writer — must not only inflict himself and the public with the something in question, but must also further inflict them — himself and the public — with one of those compositions known everywhere as Introduc- tions. This is on account of the increasing stupidity of the public and the multiplying sense and senses of the writer. The public has been worked up to the point where it hasn ' t brains enough to take anything more in without help from the outside. The author realizes this — realizes that he must be understood, so he writes an Introduction. Personally, I don ' t like Introductions — in fact, I don ' t need them and never expect to need them for my own private use. But if there is one thing that makes a sensible and intellectual pen-wielder angry, it is to be misunderstood, misinterpreted and misquoted by a pack of brainless idiots and unreasoning simpletons who can ' t write a decent English sentence therhselves, yet want to make Greek out of everything which has been written for them. To avoid such a conlretempts I am putting no small labor upon this Intro- duction. In the first place it should be stated that under no circumstances is the following piece to be called a Short Story. It is not a Short Story; was never intended to be a Short Story; and never will be a Short Story. A Short Story is the picture of truth, has the verisimilitude of truth. This piece is truth itself. It says what it does because what it says is. and being, exists. Another misconception which is sure to arise is that this is a tale of Ferdy. It is not. It is a tale of Ferdy ' s erstwhile love. And being a tale of Ferdy ' s erstwhile love it is consequently a tale of atmosphere from which do not infer that hot air is under dis- cussion. It is called the Cycle because it treats of something that goes round — in a circle. Now Ferdy does not go round in a circle, neither does the tale. The something lies 234 deeper — much deeper. It is Fcrdy ' s cntwlulc love that makes the circuit. His oli ' n love is a link which never comes back, yet goes on around, being incarnated m liic next man ' s love and the man after next ' s. But there must be an object for love to vent itself upon. This is logical; therefore true. The tale provides that object — thereby proving itself true. That object is the College Widow. Some people are prejudiced against the College Widow. They don ' t like her. They think her designing. I am not prejudiced against her. I do like her. I don ' t think her designing. She is what she is just as you are what you are and I what I am. She is the product of her environment — and being the product of her environment is what her envi;onment makes her — single, young, attractive, willing, sweet, and uncatchably catchable. She is not designing. She doesn ' t have to be — so she leaves that trait to her less fortunate or more unfortunate sisters. Being the only feminine plant in a purely masculine greenhouse, she is attractive per force. The collegiate world finds itself up to the propo- sition, College Widow or nothing, and College Widow it is. And College Widow knows it — consequently gives not a hang about being designing, only watching with furtive interest the birth column of her native town in hopes that the arrival of possible competition has been kept at a minimum. For it is troublesome to look sixteen on thirty-nine big fat years. All of this is fact, and actual and real and true. But that doesn ' t keep love out. Love can get through a key-hole, find its way out of a mouse trap, and is always lurking in a tight squeeze. So what ' s to be done? Why, let the Cycle go on, of course — living demonstration of perpetual motion in tangible form. Let it go on till it gets a cog in the wheels and marriage r esults — or a state of innocuous desuetude, whatever that is. But this is sufficient — or ought to be. The local details are thrown in for the sake of color; they can easily be substituted by other details, local or otherwise, for the elements of the tale are to be found in Ferdy ' s erstwhile love. The reader can now proceed to enjoy what follows. He can do it with a free mind and an enlightened one. He will find Ferdy what he is and the talc what it is and the local color ditto, this preface to the contrary notwithstanding. The Tale Sholping the Stern Reality of Fictitious Fact. When Ferdy went on the Avenue he went circumspectly and properly and immacu- lately — that is, he went purposely and purposefully. Nine P. M. was his hour — and he never forgot it. Ferdy went so regularly and so punctually that other youth 233 sat up and tcok notice. Running Ferdy became monotonous. They gave it up and appropriated to themselves the wee sHce of time between Eight P. M. and Nine of the same denomination. And this pleased Ferdy — and part of the Avenue. Now Ferdy began finding his way to that deeply shaded street early m October, when the scholastic year was on the straddling legs of its youth. And November saw him still on the job — November with its football games and chill winds. He saw Hampden-Sidriey go down and Roanoke and some others — and nothing happened. He merely talked and rejoiced with part of the Avenue; after the game sauntered leisurely down to the railroad track, up over the long cinder path which winds gently towards the Dorm and, still talking lightly, soon found her sitting by his side near one of the small tables pertaining to the Hub, which all know and none forget. Then back to the Avenue — and all was over till Nine P. M. And then flew time till November twenty-seventh — a Sunday morning long to be remembered. That night he went at Nine and left at Twelve; for the next day would see his departure into the world outside and the Avenue must mourn his absence for a month. Ferdy went home — and his friends saw love written all over him and guessed that his heart was full of the same sweet thing. They guessed well — perhaps. On January the third Ferdy returned — and once more the Avenue awoke to his presence. The basket-ball games were well attended — if you remember rightly. Nor was Ferdy ever absent, nor was she. With equanimity they saw the proceedings — not caring particularly, perhaps, about even the great Tech game. It was so charming — this little affair. It was so complete in its isolation that other events lost significance to Ferdy and to her. Up town the boys were talking. Pon my word, Ferdy ' s going it hard. Struck right in the vital spot, don cher know. Wish the ole boy luck. Things running smooth enough now. Funny, ain ' t it — ' bout Ferdy? Mashed ain ' t the name for it. He ' s looney. But such is the way of jealous men. Ferdy went to the dances in February. That was one of his habits. His hack pulled out of the Avenue with two inside, after going into the place with but one passenger — Ferdy himself. This astonished no one. Ferdy was doing the expected thing right along. That night, however, something turned up — something unexpected. Ferdy got out of the rut and slid willy-willy into something else. He was introduced to Miss X from Dear Knows Where — and Dear Knows Where obscured the Avenue and con- sternation reigned. Ferdy was now in the seething ferment. He had a peculiar cooked- alive feeling, finding his will at cross purposes with itself. The dances went on, and while they went on. Dear Knows Where occupied much of Ferdy ' s time — as much as she would allow. 236 When she left, Ferdy dispatched a letter due upon her departing train and soon had one in return. The Avenue saw less of Ferdy. Middle March hurled itself in. The Avenue had used every artifice and every charm; the victory had been thrilling. I he immaculate Ferdy was paying devoir with old-time zeal and warmth. Ferdy flunked two exams — and the Avenue comforted him. One balmy day — one of the few balmy days of this March — he hired a runabout and the necessary horse and drove with her to Lover ' s Leap. They sat there and gazed upon the beautiful old North River Valley with rapturous joy. Ferdy was happy. He was king and she was queen — and the valley was a fair domain. He felt the charm of Romance — and it was so with her. The real spark of love had passed between them — so Ferdy thought and so she said. The Roanoke baseball game saw them both in the grandstand. Even the hard luck in the first Penn State game did not prevent their appearance at the second. A week had slipped by. It was now about ten days from the Easter dances. Miss X from Dear Knows Where once more appeared upon the scene. She came early for reasons best known to herself. But for reasons best known to himself, Ferdy once more fell under her enchanting hand. He dangled around for a while, then boldly in- vited her to see St. John ' s defeated. But was St. John ' s defeated? Ferdy was calm for a while. But wrath began to rise in him. When the centre fielder was hurt and couldn ' t throw to second; when one ball went through short and then another; when first gave way once, and then again, and then once more, and the runs were piling up on the other side, and the crack southpaw of seven states was helpless with a sore arm : when all this happened wrath rose within him and, unmindful of the girl beside him, or of anything or of anyone else — he got up in his seat and swore mightily in true college style. The words came rolling from his lips in thundering accents — and his spirit felt relieved. Not so though Dear Knows Where. She fixed him with a scorching look and froze utterly. They walked off the field in silence — and separated in the same way. Poor miserable Ferdy ! She of the Avenue had seen it all and heard it all. Other fellows were glad to have Ferdy out of the way. And when Ferdy came that night — as she knew he would — she was prepared and ready. Before eleven o ' clock Ferdy was on his knees penitent. She knew the ways of col- lege men — knew their hearts and feelings; knew how a fellow felt when he saw the team of his pride go down to defeat and ruin; knew the anguish and emotion and pent-up force that lay in his troubled soul. She knew it all and sympathized and cared. She blamed him not at all. She felt with him and mourned with him. And Ferdy knew that he had been a fool — and once more returned to his allegiance. 237 The spring days wore on. The Hub sold more and more sundaes and ice cream and dopes. The pool tables resounded merrily with the clatter of balls and cues. The runabouts rattled to the Bridge and back. The verdure of the Campus mellowed down to the summer tmt of faintest brown, while the groups of idlers increased mightily in front of the Main Building, and the chemistry people sunned themselves with joy. Ferdy too was in the midst of things. The season brought him, as well as others, its joys. He went with her on evening strolls and wandered widely over the sleepy town; he watched with her Lyric reels as they rolled in panorama before their eyes; they walked tcgether and talked together and laughed together. They were always together. And the Hub knew it and the book store knew it and the postoflice knew it and everybody knew it and nobody cared — for love is a sacred thing. May passed. June came. Exams got by in the same slow but certain way; and the curtain got ready to be lifted on the Final Act. They went to the Senior Ball. They went to the Final Ball. They saw the Boat Race. They heard the Baccalaureate Sermon. They spent their last night upon the vine-secluded porch, and held hands tightly while the gentle aurora played hide-and-seek with the lattice work which screened them. Ever and anon a little gleam would strike gently the solemn depths of her eyes and flash back upon him with all the hidden meaning of love and beauty. To the last minute of the last hour they kept their devoted vigil, conscious that life is short and one must when one must. And Ferdy felt himself in love; she felt that he was hers and hers only — to have and to keep and to hold. So have thought many before and so may think many in the years to come. The Cycle runs its course year in and year out. One wonders why always with j different Ferdy. 238 ■? NORTH CAROLINA OFFICERS J. M. TuRBYFILL President E. M. Myatt Vice-President C. R.

Army authorities know a gun; that IS why, when they decided to equip some troops with repeating shotguns, they selected the Win- chester in preference to all other makes. The experts of the U. S. Ordnance Board also know p. gun ; that ' s why, after submitting a Winches- ter Repeating Shotgun to all sorts of tests, they pronounced it safe, sure, strong and simple. If you want a shotgun — buy the one whose strength and reliability led the U. S. Army authorities to select it and the U. S. Ordnance Board to endorse it — that ' s the Winchester.
