He startled many of his hearers when he suddenly turned to the new president (who had just been called from a professor ' s chair) and told him that in at least one particular he was making a tremen- dous sacrifice; that, as a professor, he had enjoyed the privilege of intimate friendship, of unreserved companionship, and of sympathetic understanding with his associates ; that, as a college president, he would be certain to find a changed situation; that, by degrees, he would drift mto a life of social reserve and loneliness, and, at times, of social isolation and exile; that the old intimacies would soon disappear, and the old companionships gradually lose their vital power. This is, happily, not the experience of all college presidents. I doubt whether it is the experience of the average college president whose happy fortune it is to serve in a homogeneous institution of high traditions. Certainly, it has not been my own experience. I have no sweeter memory of the life in Lexington than the memory of the intimate com- panionships of that life. I value nothing more highly than these friendships. They have meant everything to me. Of these friendships not one was tested more frequently, or in a larger number of ways, than the friendship of Abram Penn Staples, with whom I was as intimately associated as with anyone outside of my own family circle, and to whom I am as deeply attached as to any living man. If I were asked to name the most striking characteristic of Judge Staples (that is the affectionate title given him by universal consent), I should without hesitation say that it is his wonderful capacity for friendship, his unswerving loyalty to his friends, and his willingness to make sacrifices, if need be, to serve his friends. I have never known a student who entertained any doubt concerning the friendship of Professor Staples. Young men know that he is kindly and sympathetic in an unfailing way. He knows them per- sonally. He understands them and loves them. He recognizes the sacredness of human individuality. He recognizes the right of each human soul to work out its own destiny ; and he is the last man to lay upon it the hand of unnecessary or of unkind criticism. It can not be a matter of surprise that young men are quick to recognize the fact that in him they have a friend as well as an instructor and a guide. Professor Staples is a man of distinct and pervasive personality. He is an impressive figure. That is a great asset to any college. Have a University in shanties, nay in tents, but have great personalities in it, was the wise admonition of one of the world ' s great teachers. I have known few men of finer or more distinctive personal qualities than are possessed by Professor Staples. I would trust him anywhere and all the time. ou always know where to find him. He is the soul of honor. He is the embodiment of courtesy. 1 Ic li.i!- llic liiicsl touiai c. 1 Ic is sleadtast in his i oin k tions. 1 Ic is generous lo a fault. I Ixliexe that he would give away his last dollar to hel[) a friend in need. He IS one of the lew men I have known ho has seemed to me lo lulK ' understand the real meaning of the word s irnpalhp. Professor Staples is a self-made man. I hat lac t should lie ,i stimulus to the young man who is fighting along hard lines. He has known what it is lo struggle against adversity. Born and bred of the best of a gracious and unique civilization, his young manhood was spent in the grinding days of reconstruction. Like many another youth in those stinting times, he faced a situation that demanded courage and energy and patience and purpose and steadfastness. His metal stood the test. He was never physically robust. His spirit had to battle with the infirmity of the flesh. et. in the face of all odds, neglecting no duly to family or friends, he struggled through his college course with high credit and began his fine career of service at the bar. i hose who have come into intimate touch with Professor Staples will be C]uick lo discover his interest in public affairs. He has been a life-long student of social, economic and political problems. Early in his career he was sent to the Virginia State Senate where he served with conspicuous ability. He has since that time been in intimate touch with many of the men who have fashioned the recent history of the commonwealth. His ad ice has been widely sought and greatly alued by them. As a student of the law. as an advocate at the bar. and as a teacher of the law, Professor Staples is doubtless best known to the general public. For many years he has been regarded as one of the most learned and able lawyers of Virginia. He has been, from the beginning, an untiring student of the law. He has the legal mind and the legal temperament. As an advocate at the bar. he was reckoned as a master of the Socratic art. I ha e frequently heard that he had lew equals in examining witnesses. As a teacher of the law. he is painstaking, exact, conscientious and thorough. I he students rally about him. I hey are with him m the class-room, on the campus, and in his home. I hey love him. I hey trust him. 1 hey seek his advice on any and on every conceivable subject, all the way from the complex problem of matrimony to the simple matter of suggesting the most available remedy for a bad cold. I know of no man who com- bines in a finer way the charm and grace of the old linic and the freedom and direct- ness of the new. This combination of tjualities m a teacher means, of course, that he is gifted with the genius of getting close to young men. It is a fact that service to young men is. with Professor Staples, an instinct, a passion, a creed. Such, under the limitations prescribed by the editor, is my simple tribute lo a tine man whom I would, in a single word, characterize as a brave soldier in the army ol the common good. 1 iere is a man who, in the clear view of his fellow-men, is daiK illuslral- ing the dignity and the majesty of the life of the Virginia gentleman. Of such stuff IS woven the true glory of institutions of learning. GtoKci:: H. Denny.

The edi- tors bespeak your in- dulgence of its short- comings and faults (editors always do that) ; fur- ther, we would offer these few words of explanation. The Calyx is a combination annual record and memory book. In it, by custom, are incorporated records of the student-body and its activities from year to year. And by the same custom the book is illustrated. We have not departed from such justly honored precedents. Some things that we ha e done, however, we should like to ex- plain. We have introduced much more of reading matter than the books of other years have contained. This change we believe justified by the mat- ter. It is all of more or less intimate application to our Alma Mater. Some of it is humorous, and all of it is in good spirit. We hope that it will be so received. We are frank to admit that we have spared none, and may perhaps have committed lese majeste. The only apology for such an act is that it is all for fun. The pictures of the book are of and by our friends and the places we love, the only exceptions of note being the series of the society department. Our hesitancy to attempt to depict the charms of those events led us to commit that task to the artists of the E. A. Wright Company. They are hand-colored for the sake of naturalness. Aside from our effort to provide some pleasure and a rec- ord of the current year of our university life, we ask no credit for our book. And we beg our friends to keep in mind these purposes to which we have limited ourselves. We hope that others may get as much pleasure from the book as we have taken in its preparation.

T IS given to few men to perform as great and as lasting labor for their fellow- men as did Judge John W. Brockenbrough; for to him is due, in the last analysis, and without detracting in any measure from the other great and good men who have served it, the unbruken success of so many years which has been the lot of the Washington and Lee Law School. The year 1 849 marked the loundation by Judge Brockenbrough of the Lexmgton Law School. To it he devoted the best and most arduous labors of his life, and on its rolls are found the names of many who became distinguished in the history of Virginia and of other states. After it became, in 1 866, The School of Law and Equity of Washington College, Judge Brockenbrough lemained at its head, and was, until Hon. John Randolph Tucker was (in 1870) elected associate professor, its sole teacher. In 1873 his connection with the school was severed by his resignation. Judge Brockenbrough was preeminently qualified to teach the law, and the success which attended his efforts was well deserved. He had published in 1837 two volumes of reports containing Chief Justice John Marshall ' s decisions in the Circuit Court of the United States for Virginia and North Carolina, which attest the capacity, industry, and professional skill of the reporter. At the bar his work had been of the highest rank. Fifteen years ' service on the bench as judge of the United States Court for the Western District of Virginia had witnessed not a single decision of his reversed by the Supreme Court. Since he brought to his work in the law school a mind eminently judicial, and a desire, to use his own words, to generate in the mind of the student a taste for the study of law as an enlarged and rational system of jurisprudence, and to imbue him with the philosophical spirit which pervades it throughout all its extensive ramifications; to teach him to regard it as a noble and refined science, and not merely as a crude collection of arbitrary precedents, the high rank in the profession taken by so many of Judge Brockenbrough ' s graduates is but natural. It is hard to conceive of the labors of one man producing such far-reaching results, but among the graduates of the Lexington Law School during its sixteen years ' existence, for four of which the war necessitated suspension, were John Goode, member of the Virginia Legislature, of the Virginia Convention of 1861, and of the Confederate Congress, Congressman from Virginia, president of the Virginia Constitutional Conven- tion of 1901-02, and Solicitor-General of the United States; Robert E. Cowan, another Virginia legislator and member of the Virginia Convention of 1861, later a judge in Missouri; William A. Seay, Law professor in Louisiana State Uni- versity, Judge of the United States Dis- trict Court, and Minister to Bolivia; Roijcrl Willie. Attorney-General of West nginia; John J. Davis, member of the Virginia and West Virginia legislatures, and Congressman from West Virginia; Henry M. Matthews, Attorney-General and Governor of West Virginia; Robert M. Mayo, Congressman from Virginia; James B. Sever, Member of Congress Irom Virginia and later Judge of the United States Court in the 1 errilory of Wyoming; Alphonso C. Avery, Judge of the Superior Court of North Carolina; Adam C. Snyder, Judge of the Court of Appeals of West Virginia; General Scott Ship, for many years Superintendent of the Virginia Military Institute, and many other great and distinguished men. The good work of the Law School in training young men was continued with unabated vigor after its union, in 1866, with Washington College. It has always been guided by the ablest teachers, and a list of its professors would in itself be a roll of great men. Upon Judge Brockenbrough ' s resignation in 1873 Judge Tucker became Dean of the school, remaining at its head until hii dualh iii I8 7. Abler pens than mine have paid tribute to Judge Tucker, and it is unnecessary that I should say more of him than to quote the words of one whose fortune it was to study law under him: When in 1872-3 I was one of his law students, he was incomparably the most perfect instructor, in all r.-s|)ecls, that I, cither as a boy or man, have e er known. He was clear, concise, and entertaining as a lecturer, and yel as full and complete as it was practicable to be with students; his methods ol instruction obtained the best results from the clever as well as from the dull student. In later years Charles A. Graves, William McLaughin. Judges Bolivar Christian, Hugh W. Sheffey, and Waller R. Staples, of the Virginia Court of Appeals, Harry St. George I ' ucker, [ohn W. Davis and William R. Vance, themselves alumni of the il-.NATOK OWIiN SENATOR CHAMBERLAIN that position at the Kentucky State Uni- ei-sity. William R. Vance, 95, whose career as instructor here and for one year Acting Dean, Dean of the Law School ol George Washington University, and pro- fessor in the Yale Law School, has been so brilliant, will in September become Dean at the University of Minnesota. A. H. Throckmorton, 1900, of the law fac- ulty of Indiana University, was for many years Dean at Center College, Kentucky. Judge R. M. Venable, of the class of 1 868, is a member of the Law faculty of the University of Maryland, and W. Goodwin Williams, 94, has recently be- come professor of Common Law at Louisiana State University. Harry St. George Tucker, B. L., ' 76, followed in the footsteps of his father as professor at Washmgton and Lee, 1897-99, and Dean, 1899-1902. But greatest of them all, perhaps, is Charles A. Graves, ' 73, Law School, and our own Martin Parks Burks, have proved themselves no less able teachers than their predecessors. It is but natural that a school having teachers of such caliber as were these men should have produced great teachers, and that has been the case. Not only have the alumni of the Washington and Lee Law School received honor as teachers m their Alma Mater, but many of them have added power to the law faculties of other colleges. A list of Deans of American Law Schools a year or two ago showed Wash- ington and Lee third in the number of her alumni who were at the head of law schools, only Harvard and Wisconsin out- ranking her. The list has now somewhat changed, but today Judge Thomas Hugh Somerville, B. L., ' 72, is Dean of the Law faculty of the L ' niversity of Mississippi, while Judge Lyman Chalkley, ' 89, holds SENATOR POINDEXTER professor of law at tlif University of Vir- ginia, who ga f so many years of tireless effort to our own University as professor and as Dean of the Law Scliool. Among the alumni of Washmgton and Lee ha c been many Governors, and of them, four — William A. McCorkle, of West Virginia; Charles T. O ' Ferraii, of Virginia; L. V. Stephens, of Missouri, and Murphy J. Foster, of Louisiana, served simultaneously. The three first V ' J i W named received their legal training here, V B| i k while Governor Foster, of Louisiana.

In Its list ol Judges of Superior Courts of the arious states few law schools equal Washington and Lee. Joseph Rucker Lamar, apointed Irom the Chief Justiceship of the Supreme Court of Georgia to the highest tribunal in the world, heads the roll of living Judges. Hon. Seth Shepard, Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia; J. Harvey McLeary. formerly Attorney-General of Texas, then Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Montana, and now Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Porto Rico; Judges John R. Tyson, of .Alabama; J. P. Hobson, of Kentucky; M. M. Neill, of Tennessee; S. L. Mestre at, ol Pennsybania; Frank H. Rudkin, of Washington; S. G. Whittle, of Virginia. Luther L. Hall and H. L. Dufour, of Louisiana, and A. Flunter Boyd, of Maryland; have gone out of the Washington and Lee Law School to adorn the highest seats of the American bench. The legislative halls of the nation have time and again numbered among their members graduates of this institution. Forty-two representatives, at least, from lourteen states have been Washington and Lee men, of whom about half were graduates ol the Law Department. In the present House are Fergusson, of New Mexico, first repre- sentative from the new slate; Da is, of West Virginia; Flood and Hay, of Virginia, and Slayden, of Texas, from the law school, with Mays, of Morida, from the Academic Department. James F. Lppes, D. Gardner Tyler and 1 larry St. George Tucker are CONGRESSMAN SLA ' iDli.N 20 CONGRESSMAN FLOOD William A. Glasgow, of Philadelphia; H. L. Norwood, Attorney-General o( Arkansas; James H. Dillard, of New Orleans, president of the Jeanes Founda- tion ; H. R. Preston, of Baltimore, gen- eral counsel for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad; Ambrose H. Burroughs, of New York, general counsel for the Ameri- can Tobacco Company, and practi- tioners recognized as leaders at the bar in almost every state in the Union. The showing of this Law School is, in the words of the New York Evening Post, altogether extraordinary, and various newspapers have undertaken an explana- tion of it. The St. Louis Republic states its theory in this way : The kind of education that makes great men is not merely cultural, technical, or what not; it is a training that unlocks the possibilities of personality. In Wash- ington and Lee today the life of the teach- ers is static rather than dynamic ; they also among the many Law School alumni who have been members of the lower House, these three having represented Virginia. Recent years have added to the four- teen Washington and Lee men who have represented their states in the United States Senate the names of Owen, of Oklahoma, Foster, of Louisiana, William J. Bryan, of Florida, whose promising career was cut .short so soon ly death; N. P. Bryan, of Florida, a brother of William J. Bryan; Poindexter, of Wash- ington, and Chamberlain, of Oregon, lour of them Law School graduates. And there are other honored names, not to be left out of account, who in various ways have brought glory to their Alma Mater — E. B. Krutschnitt, Presi- dent of the Louisiana Constitutional Con- vention of 1888; Wade H. Ellis, At- torney-General of Ohio, later Assistant Attorney-General of the United States; CONGRESSMAN HAVES were and are men ol small incomes, simple li.ihits. and well-furmslied rnmds, secure of their posilioiis, honored in ihelr communities, and satisfied with the scholar ' s kingdom. Is there not more, perha])s, in contact with men at peace with them- selves and the world than in membership in a great university where the instructor desires to become an assistant professor, the assistant professor an adjunct professor, the adjunct professor to head a department, .md the [iresident to secure five millions more endowment than did his predecessor Commenting on tliis ie the New ork Evening Post agrees with most of the Republic ' s findings, but adds that the record, being exceptional, must have come from exceptional conditions, and draws the conclusion thai the exceptional conditions were the traditions and setting of the College, stating its deduction as follows: In the first place it would be hard to find another small college with such a tradition and setting. When General Lee, after Appomattox, rode his famous Trav- eller over the mountains to Lexington and became president of Washington College, it was to a town already distinguished .IS the home of Stonewall ' Jackson and the site ol the Virginia Military Institute. Many distinguished soldiers and citizens had lived there or nearby, and the College itself had grown out of a benefaction of George Washington. After the Idol of the Confederacy, there came to Lexington the colonels and captains of his defeated legions, men of un- usual character, fortified by years of war- fare and suffering, who sought to complete their interrupted education. 1 o them succeeded, after General Lee ' s death. outh also ol unusual character, for it required sacrifice, courage, and ambition to obtain a college education in the South in the late sixties and seventies. 1 hey found at Lexington an unusual spnit and inspiring association, as well as teachers to admire and profit by. Hence it is not altogether unnatural that the graduates of this period speedily became leaders in their communities. The really educated men were rare, and these had also acquired the pioneering spirit in the Virginia I lills. and found their way readily to Oregon, to Oklahoma, to New ' ork. to New Orleans, all over the New South. CONGKI-.S MAN l)A I.s Willi its need lor a new pioneering. Thus, while we would not rob the faculty of Washington and Lee of a tittle of its just due, it is only fair to say that conditions as well as the teachers were responsible for the record of public service to which we are glad to call attention. But be the reasons as they may: Whether we attribute the records of Wash- ington and Lee ' s graduates to the advan- tage of the small college over the large, to the self-abnegation of a noble faculty, or to the peculiar conditions existing here — and it is most likely that the result is a component of all of these factors with the added element of the choicest young men of a continent to be moulded — the record is ours. It belongs to us of the present day. It is ours lo glory in and to dwell upon. It IS a heritage from the rich and fruitful life of Alma Mater. But it is more. It is a tremendous responsibility. It stands as a call to us to be worthy of the honor bestowed upon us of having been connected with an institution which has accomplished so much in the life of a nation. It is a trust which we must lorever hold sacred. CONGRESSMAN FERGUSSON W. AND L. Law SrHOoi. Nfwcomb 1 Iai.l SENIOR.

Hearkening to the cry of the age: Go south, young man, Poland started, but, being a man who knows a good thing when he sees it, he decided to stop for a while at Washington and Lee. He has quite a reputation as an athlete — especially as a pugilist — but we believe his hopes for any fame in that line have been shattered. He is now bending his eveiy energy towards becoming a great lawyer. JOSEPH GILPIN PYLE, ' I ' r A Philadelphia, Pa. Pyle came here sometime ago and is about to lake his second degree. Elaving made contracts by the sleep route, he tried the same plan on the course in property, but that was too real for the teacher and this year has found him awake with the same dusi in his eyes. Pyle is also not without fame as an actor, taking a leading part in The Balloon. A senator without reproach and a lawyer without a client we find him; also one learned in other matters outside the law, for was he not an Assistant in German for one whole year? His early attempts as a lawyer show a marked ability to prevent damages from being recovered against his clients and may he always be as neurotically successful. CalYX Board, 1911-12. 41 GEORGK R.

He acted as a teacher, loo, some- where, hush! and after learning all the law at Michigan came back to give pithy poinleis on Pleading — sometimes as a result of a question.

If Moody ever loses his mind, it will be trying to puzzle out whether he made a motion or a demurrer on a note endorsed by Norman Beglin or somebody else at a bank, or whether he dreamed of notes, endorsers and demurrers. The Suffolk High School could teach him no more and he tried the law course, and having literally absorbed that, he is going out to endorse and demur to more notes. All expect to see him LON B.

Tom has been a good worker. Was appointed Deputy Sheriff o( the Moot Court, and has had frequent chances to call order in court, and if he conducts himself in the court room of his actual practice as he expects his brother attorneys in the Moot Court to conduct themselves things will move in a most orderly manner. No matter where he engages in the practice of his chosen profession we venture to say that his clients will be many. OLIVER BRUCE WATSON, i) A . Roanoke, V ' a.

But we expect to see him encounter little trouble in the practical side of law, since he mastered the art of Pleading early in his junior year, returning after the holidays with proof of his successful and delicate persuasiveness.

This entry will also serve to notify the various states of their future hopes in the legal profession. To the cities, towns and villiages of all save seven of the states came letters in 1911 that amply convinced one hundred and twenty-five recipients of the advantages of Washington and Lee and the attractions of Lexington. It was September 14, 1911, when we arrived, each carrying a suit-case full to its capacity of assorted high-grade ambitions. D.icldy, Sunny, and Joe immediately acquainted us with our chosen pro- fession and we proceeded in the library to search out many fine points in Contracts, forts and Carriers. So diligent, indeed, was our application that we never did learn the location of Willie Higgins ' ,iikI McCrum ' s pleasure [lalaces until well after Christmas. Despite our strict attention to duty, we were well represented ir. athletics. We claim Miller, the Varsity left tackle who has been elected captain for next year, hrancis, Webster, Bone and Slater were also well-known members ol the Varsity and ol our class. We have done our share m the other departments of student activity ol the University. After the well deserved holiday at Christmas we returned in almost our lull number and plunged again into our tasks.

William came from Hillsboio High School to Washington and Lee in 1909 and straightway began to distinguish himself, seizing a chemistry scholarship the same year. He is hard to down, is William H. when he thinks he is right, and William H. is generally and usually of that opinion.

C. .A.. •11- ' I2; Assistant Manager Baseball, ' 12. and belongs to the ' hite Friar Ribbon Society. Pink is an ardent admirer of Underwood and hopes to make that gentleman president of these United Slates. 1 Ic will probably enter ihe diplomatic service of Uncle Samuel. 58 CHARLES CECIL GR.AY Proctor, Tf.xas On Oclober the Iwelflh, 1889, the citizens of Stephensville in the great state of Texas sat up and look notice; for this youngster of red locks had suddenly come into their midst.

But we submit a meager record of accomplishments by way of substantiation of our claims to a place among the really great classes of this institution. Mayhap, this record may encourage and help others who are to travel this way in the future. Even in our Freshman year we made a name for success. The bitter remarks of a satirical Witten and the zealous eflort of the whole Sophomore band, were too little to dampen our ardor and courage. We won the ball rush by the score of 40 to 1 2. This contest still stands unique in history; for it has never been surpassed in number of points scored, and it was the first contest of the sort in which a goal was scored. We were so sl-illful in the other athletic engagements of that year that we easily won the Baseball Class Championship and the Indoor Class Meet, for which we were awarded the Cup. In Sophomore year, as disciplinarians of the Fresh, we accomplished a really noteworthy reform in student custom, a reform that affects all the future of the University. We did away with all street fights and hazing. And the now renowned Vigilance Com- mittee was our invention by way of substitution. And in this Sophomore year we main- tained our athletic prowess by a second victory in the Push Ball Rush. This time the score was more decisive, being 40 to 0. Now we have come to a place of dignity and importance in the University. Mike ' s resignation cast some additional burdens on us, but we rose well to the occasion and feel that our conduct has justified our position and the confidence reposed in us. The advice of Old Harry and John L. ' has been of material assistance to us in coping with the difficult problems attendant upon the critical period of boycott. And even in this responsible position we have held high our athletic standards, our chef-d ' oeuvre being the defeat of 1912 for the football class championship. We were led to glory by Wood- row Peeples, and the score was 5 to 0. After that victory we journeyed to Staunton and conquered the S. M. A. team by the score of I 5 to 0. This was the first time in many a moon that a W. and L. class team had won on a foreign invasion. Our social laurels were won by the brilliant success of our Sophomore cotillion. We received many pleasing comments upon the merits of that function. In the Varsity athletics we have not been found wanting. No less than six of us have been on the baseball team for the last three years. Last year we furnished the captain in the person of Dick Smith and this year we give for the same position our class president, Harry Moran. Historian. Junior Clasfj Officers I lARR ' I . MORAN. i: .

Lest our memories should be blighted by the course of time, we record here on parchment a few of our most shining deeds that they may in the future guide us in our happy moments of retrospection. So, to provide a reminder for the days to come and to embellish the pages of this book, the history of 1914 is written. Upon our arrival m 1910 the formidable appearance of the Class of 1914 struck terror in the hearts of the wily Sophomores. Immediately they decided to dispense with the annual street fight with the P rcshmen and in its place substituted the Freshman Rules which were to be administered by the Vigilance Committee. To give further credit to our strength, the push ball fight was lost only after a strenuous struggle by the Sophomores and after the usual number of Freshmen had been reduced by five. During 1910-1 I we received more than our share of the honors in athletics. Although not strong in football, we turned out a winning basket-ball team and sec ured ihe baseball championship without losing a single game. We also won the cross-country run, making an unbroken record for the University. Reluming in 1911 the Class was weakened in numbers by the failure of several members to return and by the matriculation of some in the Law School. Undaunted, we started eagerly upon our first duty — to instruct the new men in Freshman Etiquette. This was accomplished by means of improved Freshman rules and a more competent committee to enforce them than had existed in former years. In the push ball fight we were out-lucked. The hall was constantly in our opponents territory and as we were within the grasp of victory the pistol was fired and time called with the score standing 0-0. This year the football team made a most creditable record, defeating the Freshmen and tying the Juniors, who won the championship. The crowning day of 1914 was reached on December 4, when we gave our first cotillion. The dance was brilliant from e ery standpoint and was one of the pronounced successes of the year. Our achievements have been many but our space is limited, so we leave the rest of our glorious history to the reader ' s imagination. Historian. s opl)omorf cClaGS Offirrrs J.

Jfrf6i)man Class I)i6ton II ' . hislonc town ol Lexington lias suffered two invasions in the space of (ifty years and for centuries to come these two memorable events will continue to be the topics of conversation for all loyal Lexingtonites. It was about a half century ago that Hunter with a strong detachment of Federal troops entered the sacred precincts of Rockbridge County, and in the words of the oldest inhabitants, so turned things around that even now the trains run into the town backward. However, memorable as this occasion was, it was completely overshadowed by the arrival on Septem- ber 12, 1 9 1 1 , of the members-to-be of the class of 1915. Coincident with our arrival, however, came the first laurel wreath for our brows, for it was announced that the one hundred and twenty-ninth class to enter the portals of Washington and Lee had surpassed in numbers all preceding classes. Fhis in itself was enough to add distinction to the Class, but the crowning honor was to win a few days later in the annual push-ball fight. Nineteen-lifteen had lallied round its standards, and after donning the war paint (figurative — shoe polish, IT reality), had sallied forth to do battle with the man-eating Sophs. The first half was decidedly in favor of the Freshmen, only one yard separating (he ball from the Sophs ' scoring line when the whistle called a halt. 1 he beginning of the second half had a different tale to tell, however, for strengthened by numerous substitutes and aided by superior organization the Sophs slowly pushed the big sphere into Freshman territory until vsith only twenty seconds of playing left it was resting fifteen yards within the scoring bounds. Here it was that 1915 was welded together and became a class in something more than a name. Here it was that the spirit of sacrifice, the spirit of do-or-die-for-the-class entered into the heart of every Freshman, and in a second a wonderful transformation had been worked. Fatigue was transformed into energy, and by an almost supernatural effort 1915 hurled back the desperate Sophs and, just as the whistle blew, pushed the ball back into neutral territory. What matters it that the fight was officially recorded as a scoreless tie? To every Freshman it was a glorious victory, for it heralded the birth of a new class, a class already wortliy to take its place in tin- Washington and Lee hall of fame. And so, with this inaugural, 1915 entered upon its course of activity at Washington and Lee. While our history is as yet but in the making, we feel that we have already shouldered our share and are proud of our part in the success of our Alma Mater. Contributing six monogram men to the football team, three to the basket-ball quint and confident of at least four places on the nine, the Freshmen feel sure of their position in athletics, and as to every other branch of college activity the class is already ably represented. Thus we feel that we can face the future with every hope and expectation, and are confident that before the session is over the whole college will realize what we now feel, that 1915 rightly holds first place in every field of college activity.

And features where one almost sees the heart. Nor is the chiseled marble yet more while Than was the soul the Irvint; man possessed. Nor yet more strll than conscience, in its right. Which lived through life within the pulsing hieasl. Nor yel more firm, unbending, than the soul That bore the living onward to his goal. Immortal statue to immortal dead. Genius gift to genius greater far. Man ' s noblest effort to depict a star. Ilalf-blinded by the golden light it shed; Bui all thai coming ages could have lost Is here preserved by the great sculplor ' s art — The face and form; his deeds, and all ihey cost. hiis soul heroic in its every part. Could never be forgot while human heart Throbbed in the world; for all that hearts hold best Found a loved home within that spotless breast. A. I). K.

Thy Creator remember, while yet thou art young, While the evil days come not (of which I have sung) ; Ere the last years clravv nigh, in the which thou shall say: I have no pleasure in them — quite worthless are they; While the sun be not darken d. nor moon lose her light. Nor sorrow ' s black clouds blot the stars of the night; When the keepers of houses shall tremble with dread; When the strong men, in anguish, shall bow low the head. And the grmders cease grinding, because they are few. And the windows be darken ' d with death ' s gloomy hue. And the doors in the streets, when the grinding is low. Shall be shut — and the sound shall be pregnant with woe; And he shall rise up at the voice of the bird. And the daughters of music no more shall be heard; And also when they shall fear that which is high. Shall the almond tree flourish and grasshopper die. And desire shall fail; to his long home — the grave — Shall man go; a drop in eternity ' s wave. Or ere shall be loosed the frail silver cord. Or the golden bowl broken, by God ' s mighty word.

Attempts have been made without success to attribute these failures to many causes, but the more knowing of football authorities merely shake their heads and mutter something about jmx. It is not our wish to add any further theories, either psychological or material, to the perplexing problem, but one thing is certain, if such a thing as a jinx does exist, he must delight in the pure mountain air to be found in the icinity of Lexington. Every year Washington and Lee witnesses the inauguration of footbal practice with the brightest hopes prevailing on all sides. E ery year these hopes are shattered, generally before mid-season. In 1 9 1 it vas injuries that were responsible for the defeats suffered. The past season it can only be attributed to pure, unadulterated, hard luck. Starting with two one-sided victories o er Roanoke College and 1 lampden-Sidney, and with a squad which for size and ability has seldom, if ever, been equaled in this section, it seemed as if our hopes for a championship team were to be realized at last. But with the Wake Forest contest a slump seized the team, and when on the following Saturday we met our bitterest rival. V. P. I., the jinx got in his black work, and a 5-to-5 tie was the best each team could boast nl. This contest, however, while not an .vrtua to the many hundreds of W. and L. men who I the real mettle of the White and Blue team, captain missing from the line, and with the scon W. and L. trident came back in the second half with a do-or-die spirit, and after much battering work finally succeeded in securing the precious touchdown which tied the score. 1 he chance for victory was lost with the attempt for goal, and the jinx was jubilant. Next came a ictory. which should have been by a large score. o er the L ' niversity College of Medicine, and then the team invaded the territory of the Tar 1 leels to try victory, was yet a cause of celebration id journeyed to Roanoke, for it showed Outplayed in the first half, with the 5 to against them, the wearers of conclusions with the Agricultural and Mechanical College eleven. This game proved to be our first defeat, however, the Farmers securing a 1 5-to3 victory, but the fighting spirit was again in evidence in this game, as the field goal in the second half testifies. The other North Carolina team from Chapel Hill was met the following week in Norfolk, and if ever the jinx did good work it was in this game. While the North Carolinians did not score the whole game by rushing, they managed to capture the contest through the medium of two very lucky safeties. That this victory was not deserved is conclusively shown when several of the papers of this section placed Washington and Lee above C.Trolina in the final rating at the season ' s end, contending that the defeat suffered at the hands of the Chapel Hill team was not a fair criterion of the strength of the respective elevens. The season was brought to a successful close on Thanksgiving Day in New Orleans by a 5-to-5 tie game with Tulane University. This showing of the Washington and Lee team was remarkable when the effect of a thousand-mile trip is taken into considera- tion, and the game fight put up by the Blue and White team did much to establish more firmly Washington and Lee ' s standing in the far South. In the standing of teams in the South Atlantic division W. and L. was awarded fifth place, a just grading so far as results go, but hardly fair when the strength of the team is taken into consideration. In reviewing the season it is at once seen that to Dr. Pollard should go the greater part of the credit for the success of the season, for no coach ever worked harder to turn out a winning eleven. Clovis Moomaw, the captain, was also prominently instrumental in building up a team, and he has left to his successor, J. H. Miller, a nucleus for a championship team in 1912. Besides Miller, there will be fourteen veterans back to fight for places on the eleven, and the chances for a coming season never looked rosier than at this time. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE FOR 1912. J. H.

Guard Cap It Is said thai a caplain should conslilule Iwcniy per ccni. of ihc strength of a football team. If that Is true then Moomaw filled every incli of his official shoes, for from the lime the candidates were first called out until the last whistle blew Cap was on the job every minute, either plugging away in a game with his cool, deteimined playing, or directing the upbuilding of a football machine that N ashington and Lee could well feel proud of. lis loss l.v his graduation this spnnu strikes the hardest blow at next year ' s J. H Mll.LER. Cl ' aru Fats The King is dead, long live the King. Fats is the captain-elect for next fall, and already diveis linesmen on opposing elevens are beginning to shake in their shoes when they anticipate next season. Combine the power of a Baldwin locomotive with the velocity of a Iwelve-inch shell, and you have a faint idea of what Fats is capable of doing in the line-bucking branch. He may not look fast. but. oh my! The two Carolina teams can vouch for his slaylna powers. There ' s good luck for next fall. H. N B.XRKER.

His tackling and all-round defensive work in the A. and M. and 1 ulane games gave him great prominence as a coming star of the South. R L. BRUHRING. Fliihack CANNONBAl.t. Xhen Beuhring retired ten feet behind the line, lowered his head, and slowly pioceeded to gather momentum, there was nothing short of Hous; Mountain that would deter his progress. The Cannonball Express. as this husky fullback was nicknamed, was a terror to opposing linesmen and a nightmare to referees, as he was just as likely lo upset an olfn lal as an opposing tackier. Perhaps this accounts tor the many pen.illies nieled out to Washington and Lee. 180 D. S. BONE, Halfback. Dave. •as the slar end-runner of the eleven.

Lile, like Burk. was handicapped by lack of weight, bul what he lost in avoirdupois he made up in speed, for Red was fast as the proverl ial streak of lightning and a marvel at following interference. He also was an adept at shifting the l.all winle running, and many oi Kis long gains were due to this art. M. R. MIl.ES, Tackle. Buck. Buck was awarded a place on the All-South Atlantic eleven, and it wasn ' t a gift by any means. Miles was a whole team by himself, and it .s doubtful if a better all-round player has ever been seen on Wilson Field. Whenever Washington and l.ee got within fifteen yards of their opponents ' goal line Buck was given the ball, for he was capable of falling the distance. R. F. MALCOLM. Halfback. V ' ankee. Hailing from the land of pork and beans, Malcolm was at all In the necessary pep, but the chief thing for which Ralph was known delicate manner of stiff-arming would-be tacklers. Hardly a gam that Malcolm did not signalize by at least one long run. If Dr. can bring any more proteges of Malcolm ' s caliber out of the frozt they will be warmly welcomed. LEON O ' QUIN, Quarterback Iri. ' h. O ' Quin has been the Varsity quarterback for two years, and while his playing has not been the sensational, grandstand style, yet he is widely known for the quiet, determined way he goes at things. Belter a team of players of O ' Qum ' s type than an eleven of picked stars, for Irish. like all good players, stands lot Icini anti not lor self. passed ollard North 188 Whe W. C.

P C. ROGF.RS, Gi. ' ARD. P. C. Despite the fact that a guard rarely gets an opportunity to break through in time to cover punts. P. C. was always one of the first men down the field, and when he tackled a runner— well, there were rarely any fatal results, but the opposing players always sidestepped Rogers when possible. J. F SL.

Dick would have had only one signal in his repertoire — that giv- ing him the right to carry the ball. On rare occasions, however, Slater sig- nalled for some other player to take the pigskin. This was jusi done, how- ever, to show that he knew the signals. R. A. WADDILL. Halfback. Rube. Rube was the prize unlucky man of the team, for injuries kept him oi the side lines most of the season, but when he was in the game he was ih speed merchant of the eleven, it geneially being a case of here he comes there he goes. Rube was also some punier, his spirals averaging abou lifty yards. 189 F. B. WT.BS TER. Center. TUBBV. ll has been rumored around collene that Tubby is in the employment lit a sporting goods firm.

In fact, Tubby did not consider a game well played unless he had torn from the back of the enemy ' s center at least three jerseys, and live was but his minimum average. Another rumor concernino Webster is ihal he is to be a ministerial student. This is backed up by his rjertion f.om one game for insisting on discussing theology. Kid Stlvls.

Witt Jachson Donahue Moran Brown Smith Webster Gwathmev i rsumr Baseball s raoou, 1911 Wl lILi-. the record of the baseljall team lor 1911 was not (]Uile up to the standard set the year before, still it was of sufficient class to enable Wash- ington and Lee to put up a strong claim for the South Atlantic honors. Con- sidering both the number of games won and the quality of ball played, the season was an undoubted success. 1 he nine was the best in natural ball-playing ability that has ever represented the White and Blue, but as a team it did not always play up to the standard of which it was capable. 1 here were two good reasons for this lack of team- play, however: the constant postponement of games in the first part of the season, due to the inclemency of the weather, and the loss of rest on account of poor railroad connec- tions on the Southern trip. Jupiter Pluvius started m to queer things right at the beginning, for of the first four games scheduled only one was played, that being the least attractive game on the cards, Roanoke College falling an easy victim, 13 to 0. The Pennsylvania State series that followed, however, proved to be the best of the season, Washington and Lee splitting even after two strenuous battles. Our old rival, St. Johns, then caught the team in a slump and walked off with a 5-to-2 victory, but this was evened up on the following day with a 6-to-4 win over Rutgers. Harry Moran, the star side-wheeler of the South, came to his own in the M. A. C. contest, whicii was the next game on the list, shutting the Aggies out without a hit and sending down twenty men by the strikeout route. I hree very hollow victories then followed, and the home schedule was finished. The Southern invasion started off in beautiful style with a 2-to-O defeat of Georgia, Moran allowing the Crackers but one solitary bingle, and whiffing fifteen. This good beginning, however, was soon offset Ijy a string of four defeats, due, in the main, as explained above, to the poor physical condition of the players following the long jumps by train. Towards the end of the trip, however, the team pulled itself together and finished the season in good style with victories over North Carolina and Trinity. Hardly had the last game been played before plans were started for this season, and the first foundation towards a championship team in 1912 was laid when Harry Moran was chosen captain of this year ' s nine. The election was a fitting reward for the steady and consistent work which Moran had done in the past two seasons. In that time he has lost only one game and even that defeat was not attributable to his pitching. Of such a high grade has been his twirling during these years that he has received the supreme reward of baseball, an opportunity to enter the big leagues with the Detroit Tigers, but to Moran ' s credit it must be said that he refused this ofler to again lead a W. L. team on the field. With Moran and several other veterans of the Varsity to form a nucleus for the 1912 nine, and with the best schedule ever devised for a Wash- ington and Lee team, it appears almost certain that W. L. will attain an altitude in intercollegiate baseball which none of tlie other teams of the South will ever be able to reach. 108 ' aascfiall chcDuIc, 1912 E. MoRAN, Captain G. C.

However. Washington and Lee is in the thick of it and is well supported, for the W. L. team of 1912 is undoubtedly the best that ever represented the University. That the record of games won is not larger is attributable to two things, the strength of the teams met on the Northern trip and the character of basket-ball, which is unquestionably a home game. In the matter of games played m Lexington there is no fault to find, however, for not a defeat was registered against the quint on the home floor, the teams from Emory and Henry. Roanoke, Hampden-Sidney and Guilford College going down before the Varsity by overwhelming scores, while the stronger fives from Frederick College and University of Virginia were defeated as easily, though by smaller figures. The Northern trip was inaugurated in fine style with a 42-to-18 victory over our honored rivals, the V. P. I. cadets, but a severe reverse was met in the next game when Virginia captured a 23-to-13 contest. Prior to this game the State championship had been conceded to Washington and Lee, and the victory of Virginia gave the Charlottes- ville collegians another opportunity to claim the title. As Virginia refuses to meet us on a neutral floor to play a deciding game, and as a comparison of scores is overwhelm- ingly in our favor, it is difficult to see how the Charlottesville team can in any manner make good their claim. While the rest of the Northern trip was a failure as far as winning games is concerned, it was a complete success in the matter of ball played. Meeting the strongest teams in the country, including last year ' s champions, the W. L. quint put up a wonderful showing and everywhere through the North was awarded the highest praise. To sum up, it may be said that the whole College is as pioud of the 1912 team as if it had captured every game on the schedule. Captain Anderton TRACK TEAM TRACK G. M. ANDERTON Captain W. N.

Indeed the day seems not far distant when W.ishington and Lee will lake her proper place in the matter of intercollegiate Ir.uk inlcri ' sls. but before this era can come the proper rec|uisites of a successful track team, a well-equipped gymnasium, a professional coach and trainer and a board or cinder track, must be better looked after than they are at the present. But even with as moderate facilities as were presented last year, the season ' s record was not a poor one by any means, although the two dual meets came out victorious for our opponents, . P. I. and the University of North Carolina. I he annual field day was held on May 3, with Carter Glass the winner of the all-round championship. This meet saw three of the University ' s outdoor records broken: C. B. Bryan, Jr., registering 5 feet 8J 2 inches in the high jump, while L. M. Kinnear set new figures in the hammer throw, with a toss of 103 feet. S. M. onan also broke the record for the broad jump with a leap of 2 1 feet. Judging by the winter season, this year ' s team seems well on the road to success, for in the two meets that Washington and Lee has entered, the athletes wearing the trident of W. and L. have carried off a fair share of the honors. In the George Wash- ington University games in Washington, D. C the relay teams, composed of Groover, Hayne, Anderton and Glass, went down to defeat before Virginia after a close race, but Hayne ' s win of first place in the 50-yard and Thorn ' s third in the mile gave Washington and Lee si. points and fourth place among the colleges. Ihe relay team which had been smarting under the defeat administered by Virginia was given another opportunity to show what it could do in the Richmond meet, being matched with the Richmond College team, which up to that time had been undefeated. The Spiders, as the Richmond boys are called, had lowered the colors of both George- town and George Washington, and were confident of taking Washington and Lee ' s scalp, but were sadly disappointed, Washington and Lee winning easily in better time than was made by Virginia in their race with us. Taylor Thom brought Washington and lee ' s total to eight in this meet by taking second place in the mile after besting five Vir- ginia runners. Ihis year witnessed the inauguration of a new leature in Southern track athletics in the lormation of an association to promote this branch of sport. The association is called the South Atlantic Intercollegiate Field and Track Association and embraces the following colleges: Johns 1 lo|ikins, Georgetown, North Carolina, George Washington and Washington and Lee. .Already there are plans on foot to hold an intercollegiate meet in Baltimore in the early part of May, and it has been practically settled that Washington and Lee will be represented. Ihis meet, together with the dual contests with V. P. I. and the University of North Carolina, assure Washington and Lee a successful track season for 1912. Captain Larrick GYM.

Waslimgton and Lee enters this year a new field of athletic activity. Already dual meets have been arranged with the University of North Carolina and Davidson College. and the success of the venture is to all practical purposes assured. If the annual gymnasium exhibition, which was given on March 4th. can be taken as a criterion, this year ' s team will be undefeated, for seldom has such a iiigh standard of gymnastic work been shown, lo Physical Director Pollard and Captain Larrick must go the lion ' s share of the credit, for despite handicaps in the matter of equipment, the above-named two worked with heart and soul, and already the Iruits of their lalior arc beginning to show. But the gymnasium work this year has not been confined to the team by any means. F.very afternoon during the winter term Dr. Pollard conducted classes which were aimed lo aiijical to the masses of the student body, and which were highly successful, the old gym being crowded to capacity every day. Besides these classes. Dr. Pollard has set aside a time every day for scientific physical examinations, and many men have availed themselves of this opportunity. Taken as a whole it can be said without qualifica- tion that this year ' s gymnasium interests have exceeded all other years in point of benefits and successes.

Copp J. L. Powell l oUiing:. 1911 WASHINGTON AND LEE stands supreme among the institutions of the South in the matter of boating interests, for it is the only Lniversity to maintain crews which compare favorably with .my ol the so-called big colleges. Every year at the finals the race between the two boat clubs, the Harry Lee and the Albert Sidney, serves to attract record-breaking crowds, for the race once seen is never forgotten. The attractive scenes along the river, the decided partizanship of the spectators, the bright colors ol the respective clubs floating on the breeze, and last, but not least, the excitement of the race, combine to form one of the most pleasing events of commencement. Last year the honors in the first crew race went to the Harry Lees, but this defeat was somewhat softened for the Albert Sidney adherents when the second Albert Sidney four crossed the line ahead of the second Harry Lee crew. The time in both events as exceedingly good. Ever since 187-4 this club rivalry has been in existence, but last year the boating interest became more ol a collegiate function when, after the commencement race, the two hrst crews combined into an eight-oared crew with William Hogue as coxswain. A race was then arranged with the Richmond Boat t lub on the James River, and while we were defeated by a scant length, the rare was irtually a victory for Washington and Lee, the unfamiliarity of the course and the short length ol time that the crew had been rowing together giving the Richmond eight an undue advantage. I his year, however, both clubs have determi ned not only to win the club race, but to carry the colors of Washington and Lee over the finish line ahead oi the Richmond crew, and if determina- tion counts for anything this victory is already assured.

QvM ' ( y ion, CjU • ■ CO HEN in the fall of 1901 the Board of Trustees of Washington and Lee L ' niversity chose as president a young man barely turned thirty, of limited experience, and comparatively unknown, many friends of the University had serious misgivings as to the wisdom of the selection, and no one had the prophetic gift to foresee that the event marked the beginnmg of the most successful decade in the history of the College. This was not the type of man the public was expecting to see appointed. It was a radical de- parture from precedent to place in the chair successively occupied by Gen- eral Robert E. Lee, General G. W. Curtis Lee, and William L. Wilson, a man of merely academic attainments, of whose existence the general public was hardly aware. Never did a college board of trustees make a happier choice. This young man was endowed by nature with a forceful personality, strong will, keen intellect, and unusual sagacity in dealing with men and affairs — qualities which would have made him a marked leader in any field of public activity. He entered on the duties of the office with a deep sense of humility, but with whole-souled devotion lo the great task before him, and quickly won the recognition he deserved. When he resigned the office in the fall of 1911 he had become one of the most influential and popular citizens ol Virginia, and one of the most widely known college presidents of the South. What he did for Washington and Lee during these ten years of service is well known. He realized that the first thing to be done was to build up the student body. An institution fostered in its infancy by the generosity of Washington, and consecrated later by the service of Lee. was not doing its full duty and could not expect public sup- port if it could not enrol! more than two hundred students. A college so rich in traditions was able to draw from a wide territory provided the territory was properly cultivated. Dr. Denny applied himself assiduously to this task and developed a system which richly re varded his efforts. By reaching out to the more progressive communities of the South, where good schools were to be found, he not onlyattracted numbers, but greatly improved ttie personnel of the student body, securing young men who were far better perpared foi college than those formerly enrolled. Another thing which attracted Dr. Denny ' s attention from the first was the im- provement of the plant and equipment. He removed from the class rooms the old stoves which formerly divided the attention of the professor, as well as of the students, and installed a central heating plant ; he painted the outside and completely renovated the inside of the old buildings; he constructed a series of granolithic walks, and added three fine buildings — the dormitory, Reid Hall, and the library — to the campus. These additions to the group of buildings provided new and ample accommodations for several of the departments which had been very much cramped in their old quarters, especially physics, engineering, chemistry, and economics and political science. These departments were thus given the opportunity to do far better work than had been possible under former conditions. 243 UR. G. H. DEN N ' t In the matter of finance Dr. Denny showed himself a master. When he took charge, the University was carrying a large floating debt, and every year showed a deficit of several thousand dollars. He at once put a stop to this state of affairs, and in a few years paid off the floating debt. He completed the raising of the Wilson fund, and secured the money for Reid Hall and for the Carnegie Library. Other gifts came in, some as the result of earlier bequests and others as the result of his own efforts, so that when he resigned he left nearly double the endo wment that he found. Dr. Denny would be the last man to regard his work here as complete. He fully realized that there were many thmgs which of necessity had to be left undone, but which he confidently believed would be done m the next decade. With the growth of the student body from 200 to over 600 he recognized the need for a larger faculty. This meant a much larger endowment, for he was not willing to embarrass the finances of the University by establishing more professorships than the endowment would justify. Conse- quently he proceeded conservatively. Assistant professorships were, however, established in the department of economics and political science and in the department of biology, and a new professorship in modern languages, the old chair being divided into a chair of i eutonic and a chair of Romance languages. A lectureship in Commercial Law was also established and the number of instructors and assistants in all departments greatly increased. While it is true that most Southern colleges and universities grew and prospered during this period, it is equally true that none made such rapid strides as Washington and Lee. Dr. Denny infused new life into every department of the University, kept it prom- inently before the public, and left it in a more commanding position than it had ever occupied before. So far we have discussed what Dr. Denny did for Washington and Lee, but this sketch would not be complete if it did not state the converse proposition — what Washington and Lee did for Dr. Denny. Although a graduate, in the ordinary sense, of Hampden- Sidney and the University of Virginia, he is nevertheless a Washington and Lee product, for it was here that his greatest mental development took place, and we are proud to claim him as an alumnus. He entered here without administrative experience and left a full- fledged college president. With the tinge of grey that came into his hair as the result of the cares and responsibilites of his office came also experience and wisdom far beyond his years. In the performance of his high duties he developed many striking traits and charac- teristics of mind and heart. Students were often amazed at his remarkable facility in remembering names and faces. He never forgot or failed to recognize anybody, and little that took place in the life of the college community escaped his keen observation. His service as president of the State Board of Charities and Corrections, and as a trustee of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, as well as his presidential office, brought him into contact with the great world of affairs, and with the passing of years his mental horizon continually widened. He developed into a public speaker of rare force, and in private conversation his keen analytical power, his lucid statement of fact, and his magnetic personality always command attention. Such is the man whom, in the full tide of his powers, Washington and Lee has given to Alabama with reluctance, but with a mother ' s blessing. John Holladay Latane. TiK CampljfU Brotlirrs .■ 1 an interregnum is dangerous may be a general priiui|)le, but it is a principle to which there are sometimes exceptions. When Dr. Denny re- signed the presidency of Washington and Lee many an alumius, possibly many a student, wondered how the University would pass through the period hich must ensue until a new president assumed office. Half this lime is now by. and as yet there is no evidence that the reins have been dropped or are being held less firmly, or that the institution is being any less carefully guided than in the past. She is still ' doing business at the old stard, and doing it just as successfully as ever. 1 o be sure, there are two heads instead of one, but there is no disadvantage in this il there is always harmony, as in the present instance. Such a state of affairs would hardly have been possible had there not been two men, brothers, each connected with Washington and Lee by inheritance and by a service well over a quarter of a century in duration, reared in its atmosphere and imbued with its traditions, familiar with its e ery detail of academic and social life, ready and qualified to carry on the executive duties, with full appioxal and co-operation of trustees, faculty and students. That their work is being well done the present condition ot the University bears witness. To them, the Campbell brothers, John Lyie and Harry Donald, we d. ' dicate this appreciation. I he name of Campbell has long been associated with Washington College and Washington and Lee University. The father of John LyIe and Harry Donald graduated here in 1843. He, too, was a John LyIe, and from 1851 till his death in 1886 held the chair of chemistry and geology in this institution. Three of his brothers were also graduates, and one of them was for a time instructor in mathematics. Two other sons of his were graduates here, at least three nephews, one grandson, another grandson is at present in college, and still there ' s more to follow. The present executive heads of Washington and Lee were surely to the manor born. Their father ' s duties took him far beyond the precincts of the University, and he was distinguished both as chemist and geologist. He also interested himself much in local civic affairs and was for many years Superintendent of Schools for Rockbridge County. It has been naturally with no little pride that in this respect, as in others, Harry Donald has followed in his father ' s footsteps. In spite of college duties, certainly at times very onerous, he is secretary of the Lexington School Board, and was largely instrumental in the erection of the new building of the Lexington High School. To his counsels on the Board ol Health is due much of the sanitary improvement of the town. Familiar, too, as no one else with the physiography of the region about Lexington, he was able to point out a source of pure soft water, and we doubt not that in the near future the town water supply will be pointed to as his greatest civic service. 24G How Washington and Lee could have gotten along without John Lyle Campbell in the past thirty years, one may well ask. Since 1877 he has been treasurer of the institu- tion, and most of this lime secretary of the faculty and of the Board of Trustees. He was the first official we met as we performed our initial act of matriculation. It was he vho helped us find a room and boarding-place; he who was prompt with a notice if we were not prompt with our academic accounts; he who was lenient with us in our financial straits, and e en whose dun was more pleasant than some other men ' s thanks. It is he HARR ! ' DONALD CAMPBELL who always makes one feel a welcome guest in his office, and who is never too busy to render any service within his power to a student. His office seems as well to be a general home for the faculty, and we wonder how it is possible for one so often interrupted to carry on his work. et that the work is done, and well done, is evidenced by the financial condition of the University. To be responsible for the productive investment of nearly a million of dollars and to have the care of buildings and grounds representing half as much more; to collect and disburse the fees of more than si.x hundred students; to act as secretary of faculty and trustees, and incidentally to be a valued counsellor on all mntlcrs pertaining lo the welfare of the institution; to do all this and to do it well would be a great big task for any man; but to do it all. and still be never too engrossed for a friendly word, never too occupied to be at the service of his fellow man — this is John Lyle Campbell. It is no wonder that all the alumni are his friends and that he is ever a welcome guest at alumni banquets; that lo the men who have gone forth from these walls he. more than anyone else, represents the institution. A tran slation from Purgatory to Paradise should be a happy lot. For the benelil ol n-i (lit graduates and undergraduates, be it known that the end of the mam building, Ironi winch, as in time past so in time present, there emanate fumes which might have come from the Inferno, was once known as Purgatory. I lere our Dean was raised and in his youthful days held sway, but in due process of time he was graduated to the other end of the building, then known as Paradise. It is saying a good deal for the teaching knowl- edge of a man that he can handle not only his specialty of geology and mineralogy, but also chemistry and biology and physiology and hygiene. But a half-dozen generations of students can testify that everything that Harry Campbell taught was well taught. Inci- dentally may we hope that in the future he may be permitted to concentrate his energies on that which he has sought to make his life work. He has already brought reputation to Washington and Lee by his geological investigations, and he will bring yet more ; the academic possibilities in the development of this department, so fundamental in the industrial progress of the fouth, need no comment. May the opportunity be his! A man may possess knowledge and be able to impart it, yet fail of success as a teacher. 1 fe must be able to give himself to his students, and he must be himself worth the giving. A student who has passed through the courses in the geological or biological departments at Washington and Lee has indeed learned geology or biology, but he has learned something more: he has become more of a man; he has become better fitted and more eager to serve his fellow man; he has felt the impress of a true teacher. To speak of Harry Campbell ' s services to the University outside of the classroom would touch upon well-nigh every phase of college actiMlies. We must, however, allude to his furtherance of every athletic interest, and especially his work in connection with the development of the Wilson Athletic Field. We can hardly imagine what athletics would be here had we no Wilson Field, and without detracting in the least from the earlier services of Professor Humphreys and the recent effective labors of Dr. Pollard, we may note that from first to last everything has been done s-ith the continued counsel of our Dean, as a continuous member and for several years chairman ol the Faculty Ath- letic Committee. When a few years ago the growl li of I lie University made it necessary to appoint some one to take charge of many matters which in the days of small things were carried on by president or faculty, it was recognized that the only man for the place was Harry Campbell. As Dean, more and more duties devolved upon him, not merely in matters academic, but also frequently during the absence of the president matters disciplinary; hence he has come ever more m touch with the whole stucJent body, as he had previously been with those m his own department, and it is needless to add that his extending influence has been for the great advantage of all who have been brought into contact with him. It was thus only natural that with the resignation of President Denny his duties should fall upon the Dean and Treasurer, for this had been the case whenever Dr. Denny had been obliged to be away from the University. It was merely an almost unnoticed transition, as the Campbell brothers became, by act of the trustees, Acting co-Presidents of Washington and Lee. We can assure our alumni that no interests of the University JOHN LYLE CAMPBELL have suffered at their hands, and we think the student body would be satisfied to have the present conditions of authority continue indefinitely. We are glad it lasted long enough for our Dean to be honored with the well-merited degree of Doctor of Science at the recent great anniversary celebration at the University of Pittsburg. We only regret that the Treasurer was not equally honored. We are certain it is seldom that a new executive comes, as will President Smith, to an institution where he has two such men to depend upon in learning the ropes and getting a grip on things. Fralres Campbell, nos salulamus! 249 Prfsitifnt: (Clrrt I)fnr)) Houiq s mitl), 3i).B. I lOR I L. alter the resignation ol Dr. Denny, the Board of trustees of Washington and Lee University, appointed a committee consisting of Dr. G. B. Sirickler, the Rector, and Messrs. Paul M. Penick and Lucian H. ( ocke. Trustees, to consider all the available men for the presidency of this noble institution. Fully aware of their responsibility, this committee can- vassed the field thoroughly, and finally decided to recommend to the Board, President Henry Louis Smith, Ph. D., LL. D., now at the head of Davidson College. North Carolina. January 24, at a special called meet- ing, the Board emphatically endorsed the recommendation of the Committee by the u-iani- mous election of Dr. Smith, who signified his acceptance February 26, and will enter upon the duties of his office July 1, 1912. The choice is an admirable one. It will meet with the cordial approval of all Southern educators, and will win the hearts of the alumni and Inends of Washington and Lee University. Dr. Smith has made a decided success in his present position. In 1901, when he was elected president of Davidson College, this institution had 1 22 students . Now it has 350, a ratio of increase almost exactly paralleled by the similar increase at Wash- ington and Lee University during the same period. During the last decade the areas of its patronage have doubled; the entrance requirements ha e been raised to fourteen points: the fees collected from students ha e trebled, and the material equipment of the institution has been more than doubled. 1 he teaching force and the laboratory facilities have kept pace with the material advancement. I his is an impressive parallel to the work of Dr. Denny during the period of his presidency at Washington and Lee. 1 he two presidents were elected the same year and their achievements have been strikingly similar as to increased attendance, wider area o( patronage, greatly increased material equiomcnt, ex- tended educational opportunities, and enhanced reputation. More has been accomplished, perhaps, at Washington and Lee, but the field here is wider, the opportunities more numerous, and the institution better known than Davidson College. Though this fin. institution over which Dr. Smith now presides has always been conspicuous for its solid educational advantages, the area ol its reputation has been greatly cNtended during the past ten years. Though born in Greensboro, N. C ., July 30, 1859, many ties bind Dr. Smith to the State of Virginia. His father, the well-known divine. Dr. Jacob Henry Smith, was reared in Lexington, ' a., and was graduated from Washington College, now Wash- ington and Lee University; his mother was the daughter of Judge E. R. Watson, of Charlottesville, and his wife is a member of the Dupuy family, of Nottoway; and his brother. Dr. ( . .Mphonso .Smith, is Professor of F.nglish at the University of Vir- ginia. Further, he took his degree. Ph. D., at the L ' luversily ol X ' lrgiina m 1891. 250 DR. HENRY LOUIS SMITH In 1881 111- graduated at Davidson College, ranknig second in Ins class. Later, in 1886, the same institution awarded him the degree M. A., and the University of North C arolina conferred LL. D. upon him in 1906. During the years 1887-1901, he occupied the Chair of Physics, and was considered not only one of the finest teachers in the institution, hut a leader in all those college activi- ties that rendered college life so attractive to the normal student. No mean athlete himself, he took a special interest in ail athletic sports, and was the prime means in securing a oung Men ' s Christian Association building and a gymnasium on the campus. After he had graduated at Davidson College, he was principal of Selma Academy, North Carolina, from his twenty-second to his twenty-seventh year, and achieved phenom- enal success. Starting with twenty-two pupils in an old lodge room, he ended with one hundred in a well equipped modern building. This incident is not intrinsically important, but it shows his initiative and early aptitude for leadership. By virtue of his position and attainments. Dr. Smith is a member of a number of prominent scientific and educational associations. He has also been president of the North Carolina Teachers ' Association of the Higher Educational Section of the Southern Educational Association, and vice-president of the American Society for Broader Edu- cation. f-rom his early manhood, when he won the orator ' s medal in the Jeffer.son Literary Society at the University of Virginia, he has always been an attractive and forceful speaker, and his speeches in public assemblies are noteworthy events on those occasions. Deeply religious, yet with no tinge of cant or intolerance, he is especially gifted in addresses on moral or Biblical topics. His Christianity, being of a very manly type, appeals with special force to young men. .As Dr. Smith has a charming personality, consummate tact, is uniformly courteous and considerate and has high educational ideals, he will be warmly welcomed by the faculty and students of Washington and Lee, and if a career of well-nigh unbroken suc- cess is any earnest of the future, the Board is to be congratulated on the wisdom of their choice. To Dr. Smith we believe the presidency of Washington and Lee will afford greater scope for the exercise of his varied powers; and the University itself, already so prosperous, will extend even further the sphere of its beneficent influence. Ccstimouials 1 THIS juncture we feel that it will not be amiss to publish a few testimonials which emanated from various sources upon the election and acceptance of Dr. Henry Louis Smith to the presidency of Washington and Lee L niversity. The most noteworthy of these is that by our former president, Dr. G. H. Denny, and is such a fine tribute to both Dr. Smith and Wash- ington and Lee that we can not refrain from publishing it. This letter was not written for publication, nor was it obtained from either Dr. Denny or Dr. Smith. It comes to us through the medium of a mutual friend and we take this liberty of publishing it. The letter is as follows: Dr. Henrv Louis Smith. Da ' iJson. A ' . C. Mv De. r Dr. Smith— I ' elenr ance of the presidency of Vi ' ashing have made this choice.

It looms large in the imagination of the nation, and especi.illy of the people of the entire South. 1 have been deeply giatided in my Iravels throughout the lowei South to find that the institution appeals to the affection of the great mass of people of this : lean institution.

The day as no other Amer- real historic setting, ital factor in the appeal that it makes when young men of the best familii of the lower South will not value an opportunity of spending four years in a college of such unique traditions, and with such a superb location. ' ou can take my word for it, that the situation at Washington and Lee is sound to the core, and that there is no human power that can impede the progress and the rapid growth of an ins:itulion that is in every way entitled to the respect and the affection of the .American people, and which enjoys this respect and affection to a larger degree than you will be able to understand until you have become identified with it. and can learn for yourself what a host of friends Washington and Lee has in every section of the American Union. Speaking for myself, I can say that no honor that has come to me. or that can come to nie, will be more highly valued than the honor and the privilege of serving an institution that, in all the great essen- tials, stands second to none in the nation. I want you to feel that no one in all the world will rejoice with you in its onward career more heartily than I. I stand ready to help you in every possible way. I want you to feel that you can com- mand me at any ciisis. and call on me to render any service that I can render.

Shakespeare was presidmg, for the dignity of the occasion admitted of no other, and in a few words he stated the purpose of the meeting: Co-mates and brothers m Literature, he began — My L ord Bacon snickered in the safety of the corner. Gentlemen, then, snapped the Avonian, We are met here tonight to consider a project brought forward by one of the moderns. This scheme is worthy of your most careful attention, in that it deals with the remodeling of a book at present most widely read — said Milton, my Paradise Regained, to be sure. Shakespeare rapped for order and continued: — A book found in every home, translated, as it is, into most of the known languages. St. Jerome looked important. This work is no less a production than the Mother Goose Rh ]me i. Milton turned suddenly pale, but Dr. Johnson gave him a rousing thump. Well, what ' s your scheme, Billy? asked Bacon. Be concise, now, just as you were in my Hamlet, and the philosopher chuckled. Our plan, replied Shakespeare, is to collaborate on a new edition of Mother Goose, each rhyme being rewritten by an author of note. This would give both classicality and variety to the production. Fine scheme! said Diderot. You bet! added Moses. IngersoU smiled and reached for his note-book. Mistake the 91 7th, he murmured. Shakespeare took from the table a list. Gentlemen, he said, here are your assignments, so far as I ha e made them out. ' ou may begin work at once. First, The Cow Jumped Over the Moon, assigned to John Milton. Milton stepped forward, then paused and asked for an amanuensis. Here, Boswell, said Dr. Johnson. The biographer seated himself at the table, and Milton began to dictate in a sonorous tone: O ' er Luna. In whose chasle. ensilveied beams Did Pyiamus, what lime his Thisbe dear From oul the walls of great Semuamis Stole soft into the silence of the night. Rejoice with cordial joy unspeakable As love vouchsafed him by that Power on high, Who ruleth all things wisely and full well. A bovine spiighl did vault her through the air, And in the mighty circumambient void Sail tranquil. The house shook with applause as Boswell handed the sheet to Shakespeare, who now announced : Number two, Little Boy Blue, ' is assigned to Edgar Allan Poe, 261 Poe made his way to the middle of the room, stood in thought a moment, ran his hand quickly through his hair, and began to recite in a slow, sad voice: Little boy blue, your horn come blow. Tour wilding, winding horn come blow. Your weirdly, wooing horn come blow, ' our sheep to the meadow is gone, is gone. And your cow to the whispering corn. lo the wearily whispering corn. When the applause had subsided, Shakespeare called the third number: Little Bo-Peep, ' Robert Browning. A full voice from (he corner of the room began immediately: Bo-Peep— and who can lell her where her sheep are? O ' er barren rocks the paths so long and sleep arc That one may scarce pass o ' er them in the day-lime. Much less when ' tis so lale. I ' m Sure her sheep are well folded And sheltered from the cold: dead To the dealh-shrieking blast, and Will soon return, securely fastened. Caudally. The applause was loud from the non-English authors. Carlyle said, Humph! Shakespeare smiled and read: Four. ' Remember, Remember, the Fifth of November, ' Thomas Carlyle. 1 he worthy thus called stretched himself lo his full height. I am indeed glad that such subject has fallen to my lot, as stated; none of your jingling rhymes for me — That shows your excellent judgment, T ommie, remarked Milton. — Nor your everlasting blank verse either — Milton subsided — — Prose IS the only proper medium of expression. Look at Browning ' s verse just now, nothing but prose — newspaper prose — All the English writers applauded except the author of Aurora Leigh. — And in prose I will write — He fixed his eyes on the table and began in a loud, earnest voice: That fifth of November! — Fifth of the days of Impending doom; — grim, horrible, portentous, awful, it passed — Passed to take a worthy place in the DeviTs Calendar, lo the blood-stained Hell docket of Potentialities, — But who can forget it — forget it, the day of Warning, the day forever to be held in dread Soul-remembrance and Fear! Horrible! gasped Bulwer Lytton. Spooky, said Poe, shrugging his shoulders. Shakespeare rapped for silence. ' The next selection — He stopped and stared. Over the court was falling a streak of grayish light. It was dawn! A moment later the day broke over the dingy old house of Drury Lane, and Buttons ' was simply Buttons ' , and the great scheme was a shadow of the night. W. N. Grubb, in Southern Collegian, 1904. 262 aima jHatcr N submitting this volume of The Calyx to the students of Washington and Lee University, we fee! thai the obligations of our trust would not be fulfilled without a word of tribute to our Alma Mater. Before the beginning of years, we are permitted to believe, God brooded over chaos, and the thoughts engendered in his mind took form, and by the slow travail of nature His Word became flesh. And He said: These my creatures must struggle and toil painfully upward through the bitter centuries ere they find the way of peace and happiness, and though I send my son to teach them the law of love and brotherhood, still shall they be joined to their idols of lust and ignorant hate. But it shall come to pass that men shall tire of their little popes and kings; and shall I not give them a space that is free from the rotten- ness of their dead futilities where they may work out their salvation in the sunlight of freedom and mutual justice? Then God laid deep and wide the foundations of a continent, and set the embattled oceans at the rising and the setting of the sun for a bulwark and a defense. And He said: It shall come to pass that the little people shall overrun this land of America, and the contaminations of their breeding they shall bring with them. Then shall I not choose the strongest of the peoples and set them a place apart where they may work out my will and the salvation of the world? And with His finger God drew a line across the middle of the land and said: These people I have set apart in my Southland to work out their own salvation. Then shall I not give them a hero greater than all the heroes of man which have gone before, that then young men may listen at the knees of the Elders to the story of his mighty deeds? Then it was, I think, that with lingering toil and loving care God fashioned the soul of Lee. And He said: I will build me a tomb for my hero, that the people may turn their faces there to pray. And He wound the little hills and valleys around and around like the petals of a rose, and clothed them in green and gold and purple. He set the mountains on guard to sentinel the grave of Lee and so He cast upon them their kingly mantles of royal blue. Then He commanded the trees to whisper softlier and the night winds to sing low; next He said to the sun and stars, Shine brightest in the vale of Lexington, for there I have laid my hero down to sleep. An Indiana poet has beautifully said: The heart of the South beats at Lexington. Here we have an ideal setting for a great university. Our surroundings are guarded over by the memories of those two matchless heroes whom the world delights to honor, and whom the South holds in sacred reverence. The school we love so well is not endowed with her countless millions, but she is rich in these qualities which money can not buy nor the hand of time destroy. Here we are not beset by the alluring call of materialism, but 263 the example ot Waslimglon and the life o( Lee are held up to lead young manhood upon the ways ol uselulness m life. e have been permitted to drink freely of the waters of life and when we are scattered in the world as acorns before a wintry blast let us ever keep sacred in our memories the teachings we received at the hands of our Alma Mater, and when we become discontented upon life ' s dreary way let us find solace in the sentiment of the poet who penned: By the banks of old North river, winding la?y round the hill. To the dear old college campus my thoughts are turning still ; For the college bells are calling, and I know they say to me. •Come you back, you old .Alumnus, hack to Washmglon and Lee.

College editors are wont to tax the patience of their readers with profuse apologies for the shortcom- ings of their undertakings. But apologies are old and commonplace; so we have none to offer. We have striven hard to perform with satisfaction the task which has been entrusted to our care. If you are pleased with the results of our labor, we are more than gratified. If you are displeased, the only excuse we have to offer is that we have done the best we could. The editor assumes all the responsibility for the imperfections of ihis book, but does not claim all the credit for the more admirable features. In this volume several topics arose for treatment which could not be left to the immature judgment and unsound dis- cretion of the editor, while others arose which were beyond the limits of his capacity. But he has been exceedingly fortunate in being able to enlist the services of those who were equal to the tasks which they were asked to perform. So we want to express our appreciation to all those who so willingly and ably lent their services in the preparation of ihi volume of The Calvx. The article in regard to The Campbell Brothers was prepared by a member of the faculty, who wishes his name withheld. The sketch of Dr. Henry Louis Smith was also prepared by a member of the faculty. A.cticles were also prepared by Dr. J. H. Latane and Dr. G. H. Denny, whose names are appended to the sketches they wrote. Invaluable service was rendered the book by Mr. W. R. Shields. The frontispiece was drawn by Miss Mary West. We want to thank each and every one whose names we have mentioned above for the part performed in helping to make this book what it is. Next we want to thank each member of the editorial staff for his support and co-operation. So whatever merits may be attached to The CalyX for nineteen hundred and twelve we attribute largely to the services of those who have so ably assisted us. Zin Jiifitallation of tl)f }M aipl)a IDrlta Jfratrruitj) i IS d source ol no little gratification to the Washington and Lee law students and friends of the institution that this year should have marked the installation of a chapter of the Phi Alpha Delta Legal Fraternity here. Phi Alpha Delta is the second largest legal fraternity in existence, and its progressiveness and initiative is evinced by the fact that it has a largei number of Chapter houses than any other. Its Chapters are located in only the largest and best law schools in the country, and this speaks eloquently for our law department and the charter members. The C hapter here is known as the Waller R. Staples Chapter, being named in honor of the distinguished judge of the Court of Appeals of Virginia. The installation, which took place on January 13th, 1912, was in charge ol Supreme Justice John Doyle Carmody, of Washington, D. C, and Edward J. Hess, Supreme Recorder, of Chicago, III., assisted by delegations from the Universities of irginia and Georgetown. Immediately following the initiation a most elaborate banquet was served in the dining-rooms of the Le.xington Hotel. The rooms were artistically decorated with the fraternity colors, purple and gold, and the tables were strewn with red carnations and smila.x, which are the adopted flowers of the fraternity. -An orchestra enlivened the occa- sion by rendering appropriate selections. Nor was there any lack of oratory. Judge Waller R. Staples, of Roanoke, and ex-Attorney-General of Virginia William A. Xnderson, who, among others, were chosen honorary members of the fraternity, each delivered excellent speeches full of wisdom and fraternalism; and there were also toasts by the visiting brothers and members of the local Chapter. Besides the National officers, the delegations from the several Universities, and the charter members, there were present also a number of honorary members and goats. A legal fraternity should be a source ol benefit not only to its particular members, but to the University; and unless it accomplishes this end it falls short of its purpose. We again extend to Phi Alpha Delta Legal Fraternity of Washington and Lee our very best wishes. May its future be as noteworthy as its installation has been auspicious.

The Gink turne l his eye ii the remark and saw this: . n indivi lual who is called the tium]). .and who is interesting to Doctor Harry Campbell chiefly because of his likeness to a certain dys|)eptic br.icbio]iod nf the ( )rdovician period. The Gink gave him one conlmiptuous glance, and then |iriHnik-d on his wa . t i investigate the lnun that lay before him. The Gump, following him with philosophical eye. remarked : Green apjiles gives you a p.ain in the stomick. but cf yn let ' eiu erlone they gits ripe, lessen they mts. Which re- mark may indicate to some that these two were likely to get on friendly terms in the course of time. One difference between the Gink and the Gump is that the Gump stays in Lexington year after ye;ir. changing no more than his environment, every fall and fades away into winter and spring. Then. too. philosophizing from gateposts, the Gink spends his time in hi by making bis else ' s noise I ' roceeding on bis lour ol in estigatiou he h.ad gone three bloeks and a half when he butted into a group I if oung gentlemen v. bo were making a noise like THE Gt wdiile the (iink comes somewhere during the the Guni]) is given to doorsteps, etc., while eing conspicuous either butting into somebody dignity. . very good n exceeded only by their the necessity of eternal niidst he asked : ■ ' What ' s the noise?

Some of the dignilied gentlemen threw ip their hands in horror, others grinned in fiendish delight, . ' ind all with one accord cried out : On his head! Slap it on his head! . nd then they topped the (iink with a blue cap from hose centre an enormous white button slione like a searchlight in the night. Xo sooner was this done th.an the group of dignilied gentlemen began slowly .inil gr.icefully to rise up and disappear imtil the last one had faded away into dim air. And the Gink, when he felt the button on his head, felt himself dis- integrating .and increasing and multiplying until in all the streets, in the houses, in the doors, in the stores, big (links, little (iinks. fat Ginks, slim tjinks. old Ginks, young (jinks, showed the button blazing brightly. Poor Gink! It seemed that he woidd never get himself together again, and as for the dignilied gentle- men, it seemed that they had gone forever. Kul after this, on sundry clear nights, the dignilied gentlemen returned. Their shadowy forms were seen in diiu. dewy spots, and long, smooth white things glcameil in their hands, ami then the Ginks shrank and shriveled and shrunk until only one (iink w.as left shivering in the niidst of shadowy forms. Then the long, smooth white things swung through the air and made a noise like paddles descending, and through the night was heard in long, weird, wailing chant : ■ ' hresh. fresh, fresh, freshman! I ' resh, Fresh, 1 ' r e s h rising and falling and dying out in the distance until the shadow ' y forms disappeared, and only the white button was left in the night. -Ml this tiiue the Gump was b.ioking quietly on from his gateposts and doorsteps, saying little. Once he was heard to say: ' ■Some folks is better ' n other folks, and sometimes a white button is the oidiest way yu kin tell the betters from tiuhers. Somewhere before we had evidence that the Cnnnp might get on friendly terms with the (jink. This state of atTairs came to pass rather early. The two were iMig.aged in friendly conversation.

It is uiinccussary, in my opinion, to indicate to you gentlemen the remedy for such a condition ; I have devoted a large part of my second edition to the proposition of a plan in many respects analogous to wliat 1 shoulil most earnestly recommend in this case. It took me some time to get on to what Malthus was talking ahout, but. say. when you come to think it over, the old guy was shooting pretty straight, wasn ' t he? They didn ' t say anything when he got through, but they sat there thinking mighty hard, all right. About that time Karl Marx seemed to get a notion that things were going too slow, so he turncil to Ricardo and said : ■ ' Davy, what ' s an ent rance requirement? ' I thought that he had nld Ricarilo ' itumpeil. but he came up all right . n entrance requirement. he said, is a differential estimate between what the given Freshman docs know and what the marginal Freshman, the Freshman of no knowledge, would know under nnrnial. average condi- tions. That ' ll hold you a while, won ' t it ? But. Marx said, suppose that under (U-liial con- ditions the two cases coincide — what wnuld become nf your entrance requirement — what wnuM it amount it. ' ' Xothing. of course. re]ilied Kic.irdo, absolute zero. );( ' . Well, doesn ' t that sometimes happen? asked Marx. b ' rom my observation. said Ricardo, solennily, I should be disposed to regard the term sinin ' liiiics as rather misleading. I thought that was about enough on that suljject. but old Machiavelli had something bothering him. I never was much of a conservative. he said. — far from it — consequently I can not agree with Marx. An entrance requirement ought to be nil in the inter- est of the institution. Vou simply can not get the imnibers with a heavy entrance requirement — it ' s out of the question. Why. to run a University like this a low entrance requirement is as sacred and necessary an institution as — as — as — a papal indulgence ! Gee ! Xobody said a word, but they heard it all right. Guess they had had about enough shop talk for a while, for Ricardo turned aroiuid to Smith and said : .■ dam. how long have you been up here. ' I came after you did, he answered ; you got i)icke l up soon, because you were on the shelf. I was a new- copy when I first came, so I had to be wrapped up and put away. I didn ' t mind that so much, but — think of it! — I was tied up for three years with a pink string! Man. you ought to have heard ' em laugh! Old .Adam Smith did look so mad ! John Stuart Mill hadn ' t said anything tor some time; he had something on his mind. When they had had their laugh at Adam Smith. Mill squared himself up. and I knew something was on. Did it ever occur to you. he said, that all claims of aristocracy are ultimateh- reducible to the princi]ile of demand and supply? ' ell. it hadn ' t exactly occurred to me. but tb.-it wasn ' t my cue to come on. so I stuck out one car and U.-liteil. I ' rominence. uhale cr the reason therefor, is c.v ; ' i tciinini rare. When a given claim of aristocracy, therefore, is based upon the prominence of one or more specified ancestors, the demand for prominent .uicestors varies inversely with the number of such ancestors available for reference — in other words, varies directly with the relative scarcity of ancestors. Thus, where only one ancestor of prominence is avail- able, the utility of that ancestor is incalculalile. since the given ancestor must satisfy the demand of the en- tire aristrocratic claim. . second ancestor would have much, but less, utility: a third, considerable, Init nnich less, and so on until we reach the marginal ancestor, whose utlity is zero ; and a still greater sup- ply of ancestors would be a positive disutility, partly liecause their very existence would detract from the scarcity (since from the prominence) of the other ancestors. Under some conditions, the demand for ancestors is stable; under other circumstances, the supply, for the given aristocratic claim is fixed at a given number of ancestors, liut the demand is never satisfied till the marginal ;incestor. of no utility, is .arrived at. Logically, then, aristocracy can be reduced to al)So lute democracy by a very simple means — the increase of the number of available ancestors beyond the point of marginal ancestral ntility. The demand is then more than satisfied; the last-availed-of ancestors con- stitute a disutility and the demand not only ceases to be longer a demand for the given aristocratic claim. but with the addition of each ancestor to the then axailable supply the prominence of the original an- cestor, of maximum utility for the given aristocratic claim is diminished until by continued additions a point is reached where the prominence of the original . ' incestor exactly coincides with the actual prominence I ' f the individual making the aristocratic claim. At that point, consequently, the social importance of the original ancestor (and so of all other ancestors) is no greater than that of the descendant, so no aristocratic claim is made, and — such a condition is a democracy. Oh. brace up! That ' s the worst, if it is bad enough. Machiavelli looked sick when John Stuart got through with that. Adam Smith just didn ' t understand a word of it — you could see it plain as day in his face. Karl Marx was tickled silly, and old Ricardo just leaned o er. so choked up he couldn ' t sav a word, and shook hands with Mill. I tell you those old geezers hadn ' t been in Lexington , ' ill these years for nothing. Well, I don ' t know what happened after that. Maybe it was that bunch of words John Stuart handed us — I dimno — but the next thing I knew daylight was streaming in the windows and 1 was sprawled out over the table, rubbing my eyes, with my notes all around on the floor. . nd, say. there was that old yellow volume of Cal ' ilal up on tlic shelf — what do you know ;diout that? Coiner is still at a loss to know just at what stage a man ceases to lie a geiUleman anil becomes a drunk. Here it is: Not drunk is he who from the lloor t ' an rise again and drink once more ; Hut drunk is he who prostrate lies . nd cannot either drink or rise. 10 LI FE LIFE 11 Another If If ' iiu can kcc]i ym casli wlu-n liH aroiiml y n Arc wastins ' theirs on fonlisli.

The old liberty bell, whose care has been entrusted to the incessant vigil of Old George, pealed forth upon the placid morning air and challenged the patriotism of six hundred discontented souls to answer her call. A few mo- ments later a responsive student body filed into the Chapel and took their designated places. Not a seat was va- cant ; for it had been spread abroad that arms would be taken up against the iron hand of oppression and ven- geance wrought upon the flagrant dis- crimination against a humiliated and down-trodden student body. Shylock was determined upon his pound of flesh and all were eager to see the operation. The president called the meeting to order and thus proceeded : Fellow comrades, the purport of this assembly is most momentous. Never before have the students of this historic institution been called upon to confront such an impending crisis. The school we love so well is inseparably connected with the lives of those whose illustrious deeds have filled the pages of history. We ought to congratulate ourselves upon the fact that our lots have been cast with a school whose ideals and teachings are guarded by the memories of those two immortal heroes who glorified the eras in which they lived bv the great- ness of their mighty deeds. Now fellow- students, shall we sit idly by and see our sacred rights trampled in the mire of discrimination or shall we emulate the examples of those who lend their names to this University and assert our prowess in an attempt at universal free- dom? I shall not consume any more of your valuable time but want to hear this question freely discussed before we take final action : for we must act. Our rights are perishing. At this juncture the president took his seat. All was silence. Not even a whisper was heard. Everyone was lend- ing his thoughts to the gravity of the occasion. The principles of psychology began to make themselves manifest and an undercurrent began to pervade the audience that there was a leader among them. All yielded to the influences of mental telepathy and spontaneously a call went forth for Patrick Henry Elooddo. Pat, as he is familiarly called by his comrades, realized that he was the ordained leader of the hour, and stepped forward. After running his fingers through his hair several times and stamping upon the floor for order, he began. Fellows, you have ■ called for your ' Pat ' and he is going to talk to you just a ' leetle ' to the point here this morning. It is very seldom that I ever make a speech, but when I do open my mouth I am bound to spit a cinder; and when I drop a cinder it begins to sizzle too. Here lately people have got afraid to come to this Chapel for fear that somebody will ask them to join the Y. M. C. A. or to sign up for the South- ern Collegian. Now, I am not going to ask you to join the Y. M. C. A, nor to give your money to the Collegian. I ' m going to ask you to keep your money in your pockets (prolonged ap- plause). But in order to get to my point I had better drive on. What I have to say about money is this : there are a lot of illiterate yaps hanging around this burg and making their living off of students who don ' t appreciate us or our money either. If it were not for the students there would be no Lexington. Yet the so-called authorities of this god-forsaken place have seen fit to haul up several of our number for looking cross-eyed in the picture show and others for eating onions for supper and bringing a heavy breath into town. Now, my contention is that it is an inalienable right for a man to look cross-eyed and to eat onions wherever he pleases. Of course, this doctrine does not apply to women, but to men only. We have been deprived of our rights and there must be a remedy. Nobody knows for certain just who is responsible for all this damnation which is being visited upon students, but I have a hunch that [continued on page 2] DR. BIATANE STARTS UPON TOUR OF UNITED STATES Accompanied by our special corres- pondent, Mr. Pushem Penwell, together with a coterie of friends and attend- ants, including Slimese Pdackey and Henry O ' Dold. Dr. Blatane left Lex- ington last Tuesday on his triumphal tour of the United States. The start was auspicious. An im- mense throng had gathered at the depot where the doctor ' s private car Bounder was attached to the B. O. Punkinvine Limited. The Lexington police, arrayed in scarlet tights, cocked hats and bare-foot scandals, circulated among the crowd, endeavoring to main- tain order. This was very difficult owing to the desire of all to obtain points of vantage from which they might catch a glimpse of the savant. Several times Captain Shelocko Balker was forced to make use of his liquid pistol charged with Hoyt ' s cologne. Happily no one was seriously injured, although several women fainted when the doughty captain struck the notorious character, Rockbridge Roughneck, with the large chrysanthemum which he was carrying. The crowd had begun to grow im- patient when a blare of trumpets an- nounced the arrival of the noted scholar. The W. L. Discord Band, which had been employed for the occasion, struck up. Hail, Hail, the Gang ' s all Here, and a brilliant procession came into view over the top of the hill. In front came Capt. Glummy Course and Dr. Peruse Whiteguy, mounted on gaily caparisoned milk-white nanny goats, and carrying banners upon which were emblazoned the words. We are the whole Cheese! Directly behind them came Mayor Scuta, mounted upon a jet-black ass. and wearing a Paquin Toga embroidered with butter- cups ; on either side of him rode heralds carrying banners bearing the legend: Drink and be merry to-day. and to- morrow you will be jugged. Next came ten college widows, arrayed like nymphs, in pleasant smiles, and clinging gowns of cream-co lored chiffon embroidered with pretzels. They sang Casey Jones, r-nd strewed dandelions along the way, all the while rendering the Salome in a most attractive manner. Immediately behind them came a large sixty-horse- [CONTINUED ON PAGE 2] THE RANK-BITM FIE FANCY DANCE BALL A HUGE SUCCESS Brilliant Affair Eclipses All Previous Efforts.

Riven under the auspices of the Vermilion Clul), sur- passed all others in its beauty, and will long be remembered by those who saw it as a model of its kind. The old rink had been transformed into a beautiful ball-room under the magic hand of the decoration commit- tee whose tireless energies were di- rected toward the resulting change. The color scheme of pea green and lavender was lavish ly carried out even to the tinting of the favors, which were minia- ture photographs of Sadie Salome in one of her characteristic poses. Dark-red lanterns, appropriately hung, cast a mellow glow over all. and were relieved here and there by the irides- cent gleam of modern electrical appli- ances, whose yellow rays fitted well with the color scheme. . great bank of ferns and palms, ar- ranged in a far corner, concealed the musicians, whose excellent renditions were one of the pleasant memories of the ball. Dainty refreshments were passed around during the intermissions by the Literary Society goats, who were forced to do this menial service at the command of their masters. Promptly at ten o ' clock the ball was opened, heralds advancing and announc- ing the opening figure. This was beauti- fully led by Mr. L Squeezum and Miss Wear I- ' ew Clothes, who conducted the couples through the intricate w indings and whirls of an old-fashioned Turkey Trot. while, with soft strains, the or- chestra rendered Every Little Move- ment Has A Meaning All Its Own. Miss Few Clothes wore a beautiful string of pearls. This was only a foretaste of what was to come, however, for soon the couples were merrily dancing their way through a bouncing, bounding bunny-hug spe- cial, led by Mr. O. L Huggum and Miss Lucy Littledress, wearing a beautiful signet ring. Dancing proper was then begun, and the figures and specials that followed were all of the highest order, since none were permitted to dance unless they could produce a properly signed certificate, showing that the bearer was an adept at the Long and Short Boston, the Grizzly Bear, the Texas Tommy, the Kangaroo Clasp, and all other steps of the Terpsichorean art.

So to make sure we must get at them by the process of elimina- tion.

Our persecutors have violated a great prin- ciple of justice. Principle! Why, it is the foundation of everything.

His friends flooded him with felicitations upon his efforts, and others took pains to note that he was very aptly named Patrick Henry. The president arose and asked if there was any further discussion, and instantly ten or twelve were contending for the floor, . ifter a brief wrangle Pitchfork Bullemwell was recognized. The audience knew the temperament of this unique character and his reputation for drastic legislation: so everyone, realizing that he would avail himself of the opportunity afforded by the occasion, was anxiously awaiting his action. Pitchfork stepped forward amidst a tliundorous roar of applause, and after addressing the chair, thus began: Men. I am going to dispense with the usual preliminaries incident to an oc- casion like this and get down to the riuestion at once: for time is too pre- cious at this moment to devote to for- malities.

Within the car, which was gaily be- decked with water lilies and moss, re- posed Dr. Blatane upon the shoulder of Henry O ' Dold, his friend, the noted globe trotter. Dr. Blatanc ' s old and trusted valet, Slimese Blackey, dressed in a bottle-green livery trimmed with old rose, came next upon a speckled ass. . ext came the Faculty arrayed in gor- geous costumes, consisting of red silk stockings, Roman sandals and kilts, each wearing upon his head a green feather, held by a gold fillet set with cherry- stones. .Arriving at the depot the procession halted. Dr. Blatane ' s car drew up to the platform, and the door opened. Dr. Blatane. arrayed in scarlet immps, blue silk stockings, and a purple toga, emerge d from the car on the arm of Henry O ' Dold. He was followed by a page bearing upon a gold tray a copy of the Doctor ' s famous book, .Ameri- ca ' s Gumpowder. The volume was artistically hound in pink bull skin bordered with gold, and was the subject of much comment. With stately step the learned Doctor, with Mr. O ' Dold, mounted the steps of the car Bounder, which was gor- geously decorated with morning-glory, pumpkin blossoms and gilded peach seeds. On the rear platform they halted. Dr. Blatane faced the multitude, which cheered loudly. It could be seen that he struggled hard to suppress his emotion. . t length he raised his hand and said : My friends. I must leave you for a season. Matters of import to my coun- try call me from my scholastic seclu- sion : afl airs at Washington are not as they should be. I must settle these af- fairs! It is also my mission in life to give to the world peace — peace, everlast- ing and uninterrupted! When I have accomplished these labors 1 will once again return to you and resume my humble position as one of you; until then, adieu ! Here the beloved Doctor broke down and wept upon the shoulder of his com- panion, who gently led him into the car. Much feeling was manifested by the assembled throng. Many broke down and wept, wdiile others blew their noses with great unction. The jangling of a tomato can aflixed to the engine signified the willingness of the train to move. The crowd cheered : the band played, Good-bye Little Girl, Good-bye. and soon the be- loved Doctor started upon his unpre- cedented tour.

Dick Gooch, our popular janitor, has just received a call from the trustees of the University of Bushwah, near Peoria. 111., in which he is oflfered a posi- tion like he holds here. Always being noted as a most efficient worker, and, as he since being here has widened the scope of his work, it is no wonder that his fame has spread abroad. When interviewed by a representative of The Rank-Bum Fie, he said, .Ah don ' know weathah ah shall recept the offah or not, but it suttinly looks lumpricious to me. If ah does leave heah, hit won ' t be fob the fouh dollahs e.xtry a month which ah will git, but ah shall go foh de opachunity of distructive work which the field affodes. Ah was up dere free yeahs ago when ah axdressed de ' Janitors Sociation ' of colleges, and lawdy, man, ah never saw sich a place as what needs mo ' cleanen in all ma life. Ah shall gib ma answer to de publick as soon as ah can and ah promises ah will except only after full consideration, Immediately upon hearing of this offer, the trustees of the University held a call meeting and voted Dick an in- crease in salary, and adopted resolutions expressing appreciations of his services, and inserted a petition for him to re- main. A monster demonstration is being planned by the students, and Dick will be called on for a speech if his natural modesty does not prevent him from be- ing found. A petition will be placed on the Bulletin Board, and all who have not signed it are urged to do so at once. FANCY DANCE BALL A HUGE SUCCESS [continued from page 2.] Only one unfortunate incident marred the gayety of the occasion, that being the ejection of a couple who were dis- covered dancing the unconventional two- step and waltz. Unfortunately, too, quite a good many lost their cards, and so a complete list of all those dancing could not be gotten, but if possible will be furnished in our ne.xt issue. If you owed the Lexington Pool Com- pany $17.50, how much would Beddow? SIX HUNDRED PATRIOTS RESPOND TO FREEDOM ' S CALL [continued from page 2.] ence did to the . merican nation. So consider yourselves in the same position as those self-sacrificing patriots on July 4. 1776. Now, after my historical dem- onstration of the situation, I am sure you fully realize your grave responsi- bility. Shakespeare says that ' all men are created equal. ' Now, this being so, all men ought to enjoy the same rights and immunities in life. But we students have been made an exception to this blessed principle of liberty, and have been dis- criminated against. An outrage has been perpetrated upon the ever-loving sons of freedom ! The hour for freedom has struck ; so we must avail ourselves of the glorious opportunity. My friend ' Pat, ' who preceded me on this floor, seemed to have a delicacy in approach- ing this question. He would not come out and ask for definite action, but merely suggested that we boycott some- body. He handled the matter with kid gloves and seemed to be feeling for pub- lic opinion. Now, I am not feeling for your pulse and am not making mere suggestions ; I demand some definite action. So, in order to get the question in some tangible form, I want to make the following motion, which I scratched oft on a piece of paper while my prede- cessor was taking up your time with his futile suggestions. Here is my motion : ' That we, the students of Washing- ton and Lee University, do jointly and severally pledge ourselves to boycott Gummy and Tky now, henceforth and forevermore. ' Just a word now in favor of my motion. You will notice from the word- ing of my proposition that it is very comprehensive, and that there is no way of escape. It is a sure shot. We have dead aim; so how can we miss? Now, I anticipate that some psalm-singing sucker is going to get up here and try to persuade you that these aforesaid gents are probably innocent, and are being made the victims of unjust legis- lation. We know that somebody is the cause of this discrimination, and I think that the surest way to find out is by the process of elimination. By this method we can ' t lose ; and, furthermore, 1 think that circumstances are in our favor. According to ' Daddy ' , circum- stantial evidence is the best evidence. So I demand a vote on this question. The president arises and again re- minds the audience of the importance of the issue, and then places the mo- tion before the house for genera! dis- cussion. Patrick Henry Blooddo is recognized. Mr. President, he says.

EDITORIALS Heretofore we have endeavored to cooperate, as far as possible, with the Faculty in maintaining a high standard of excellence in the University. This has been comparatively easy thus far, as our former beloved President en- deavored to make college life pleasant an I agreeable to all. Now, however, has come a new re- gime, and. in spite of our violent pro- tests, our dearest and inost ancient pre- rogatives are being taken from us. There was a time when a man could drink and flunk in pursuit of happiness, witliout having the constant fear of .Automatic Rules and other tyrannical institutions continually intruding them- selves upon his pleasures. But those halcyon days are gone, and the hand ni the oppressor lies heavily upi n us. Our drunks and our flunks are ni w limited to two, and college life is one unending round of gloom. The itiea of limiting our drunks to two is utterly jireposterous. Some Campbells might conlliie themselves to two drunks a year, but we are not camels, and we thank God for it I Not only does this strike at the very root of our liberty, but it is an aspersion upon our honor as Southern gentlemen. We are men of honor, and are fully competent to limit or unlimit our own drunks. No right-minded man, we believe, will be governed by this absurd regula- tion. In fact, we are creditably in- formed that some arc already evading it by remaining for weeks at a time on one drunk, thus making two drunks last a whole year. .Among these men are some of the most prominent in college, and we trust that others will follow their example. The regulation regarding flunks is not of such moment, for it has always been our policy not to worry over these, as they are to be expected in the natural course of events. We wish to congratulate the ribbon societies on the excellence of their ini- tiation performances held recently on the campus. We feel safe in asserting that never before in the history of these organizations have such first-class ex- hibitions been given, and we hope they will serve as a standard for all future etYorts. -A proof of this was the large attend- ance of ladies, all of whom remained through the performance. The jokes told and the songs sung were of the most elevating character, while the impersonations themselves were so lifelike that it was easy to imagine the originals there themselves. - ' lthough forced to go through with this very trying ordeal twice, the goats ' cciiulucted themselves in an admirable maimer, and showed how full they were with the spirit of the occasion. It is a source of great gratification to lis tn learn that a prominent member of the l ' aculty has been cleared of the charge of bookmaking at the recent Faculty ball game. It came otit in the trial that this dis- graceful accusation was brought by the town authorities of Lexington with deliberate intent to injure the Univer- sity. This deplorable affair, although titterly false, has created profound ex- citement throughout the country, and we fear that there are si nK- who be- lieve it to be true. The reputations of the men at the head of this institution should repudiate any accusation of this kind, as they were all chosen with a special view to honor and veracity, and never have they been foinul lacking in these ([ualities.

THE RANK-BUM FIE ANNUAL FACULTY BASEBALL GAME SISSY AND SMITH STAR The annual baseball game between the Faculty teams was pulled off on the first day of May. Miss Annie pro- tested very strongly, as usual (this year she wanted to substitute a May pole dance), but Sissy and Judas were successful in their solicitations of the student vote, and the election was by a large majority for the ball game. The day was clear, and both teams appeared in due time. Toady ' s team won the toss and Sissy, taking his place at the box, Siamese called the first batter. Then came a hitch, and for a while it looked as if the game were doomed. Jack Latane started the fuss by declaring he could not bat with anv stick but that presented to him by his dear friend Woodrow after the great game ending the Historical Society ' s Convention in 1888. Rod finally found Miss Annie sitting upon the bat, still hoping for a May pole dance. Jack stepped to the plate. Doc called for the long yell. And Siamese leaned ex- pectantly forward. In vain ! Sissy de- clared he could start the game with none other than the ball marked Nu sub prime — Teh, tch. No, P second was for the lucky seventh. And Tch. tch. Thcta was always used in the ninth, tch. tch. The proper ball was at last produced from Siamese ' s back pocket and after all traces of tobacco and gum had been washed off by Harry Moran. the game was started, amid a chicka-go-runk led by the Doc and a sobful monologue on the fickleness and ungratefulness of mankind led by Miss Annie. For eight innings parabolic and hyper- bolic curves were solved at will, and one after another the sages marathoned from sack to sack ; the only breaks in the monotony being a home run in four steps by Liv in the fifth, a brilliant miss of a pop-fly by Jingo in the sixth, and a commonplace pick-up by Slouch in the seventh, and then The fateful ninth opened with the score standing 38 to 30 in favor of the Whys. Sissy ' s face was wreathed in smiles as he produced Theta, while Tommy stepped to the plate. Liv sig- naled for a straight speedy one, and Tommy laid down a perfect bunt, reach- ing first safely by a combination roll and slide. Howerton slouched to the plate, muttering something about the psychological moment, and by the action of his subjective mind propelled the ball to center. Prithee, methinks the hour is set, and Jingo faced the fiercely twitching whiskers of the pitcher. Be- ing brazed upon the tip of the elbow he trotted to first. With the sacks all occupied. Little Joe, after swinging wildly for two wide ones, put up a pop which John L. clutched from his whiskers to register the first out. Old Harry swung three times and by the automatic rule was relegated to the bench. Sissy, to display his double shoot against the wily Judas, moved his foot a centimeter to the left and delivered the sphere. Judas fanned vainly. Daddy yelled, How ' s that, Mr. Ump? And Siamese stepped to the middle of the field. A balk was his decision. In- stantly pandemonium reigned. The Whys rushed in from all sides, and Sunny demanded a writ of error on forty-four exceptions. Siamese, recog- nizing the mystic ratio of 7 and 11, stood firm. Sissy declared that the separation of his foot from the rubber could only have been a millimeter, and that therefore, therefore, it was not pos- sible by the laws of capillary attraction. .■ t this point the blue coats of Lexing- ton appeared and complained that James Lewis was disturbing the peace. Siamese declared the game to proc eed in two minutes under penalty of for- feiture. The declaration broke Sissy ' s static calm, and a quartet of wild ones pushed a tally over. Daddy poled a long fly to the left garden, and Toady, thinking more of the rabbit than the catch, let the ball get by him. Four counts were rung up before the bail was returned to the diamond. The break in the game had come. Mary Jane Hancock took a joy ride to first on four. And a fight ensuing between Rod and Boozer, Sissy got wildly ex- cited and issued another free pass to Latane. Tommy lined a grass cutter to Davy, and the latter by a computation from Railroad Curves and Earth- works intercepted the grounder, but, making a false calculation as to stress, heaved the ball into the grandstand. Before it could be found the score was tied. Dr. Smith, having been delayed by a reception committee of the town ladies, rushed perspiring onto the field and was called in as a pinch hitter. Toady ob- jected, claiming he was debarred by the one-year rule. However, a telegram arriving from Mike — Excellent young man ; fine character ; congratulations — he was allowed to go to the plate. He placed Sissy ' s first offering over the fence, but, mistaking the lay of the land, he ran the bases in inverse order. Siamese called him safe, and the scrap was on. Sissy insisted that as it was the reverse of a run it counted one off [continued on page 8.] SIX HUNDRED PATRIOTS RESPOND TO FREEDOM ' S CALL [continued from page 3] to make an amendment to the motion just offered by my friend ' Pitchfork, ' who was so thoughtful and considerate as to remind you of the impertinence of my previous remarks. I want to show you that his motion is not a sure shot and that it does not cover the whole question. My argument is that, in addi- tion to the boycott on ' Gummy ' , ' we do jointly and severally refuse to pay the various and sundry bills which we do now owe him. ' You can readily see that my amendment will be beneficial to us, and at the same time it will serve as punitive damages for this infamous discrimination which has been inflicted upon us. So it has a two-fold aspect. Pitchfork interrupts at this point and begins : Mr. President, this is a useless amendment ; for the point is fully covered in my motion. Any igno- ramus ought to see that this is implied from the language of my motion ; so, Mr. President, I don ' t want my proposi- tion butchered up in any such way. Pat arises here. Mr. President, after hearing the gentleman ' s explana- tion of his motion I withdraw my amendment. John Wesley Galloway, president of the Y. M. C. A., next responds to the occasion. This noted character hails from one of the hill counties of Arkan- sas, where he was principal of the public school and also superintendent of the Sunday school. His ability to quote the Scriptures was unlimited, and his de- meanor was the very quintessence of piety. Philosophy was his favorite sub- ject, and he was generally designated as Psychological John, He thus began: Mr. President, when but a few hours ago the old col- lege bell began to spend her rhythmic melodies upon the balmy breezes of the sleepy morn, I had visions of the great Millennium which is so beautifully pointed out in the Book of Revelation, and was exulting in the hope that this day six hundred souls would be won for the kingdom come. Eloquence has struck upon the dull, cold ear of indif- ference and moved, instead, six hundred souls to a deathless revenge. So my fondest expectations have been defeated, and my only hope for the salvation of this student body has been subjected to the iron hand of revenge. After hear- ing the situation discussed fully, and seeing clearly that this student body has been discriminated against, and being from that grand old State where the name of Jeff Davis has become immortal (and of whom I, mvself, am a most ardent disciple), I am bound to cast my [continued on page 7.] THE RANK-BUM FIE PEKSONALS [continued from page 4.] The Tidewater Club was the host at an informal reception given recently on the athletic field.

THE RANK-BUM FIE SIX HUNDRED PATRIOTS RESPOND TO FREEDOM ' S CALL [continued from page S.] lot for the cause of freedom which yovi so strenuously demand. In my action I am guided solely by my conscience and the sense of righteousness. I am heart- ily in favor of boycotting ' Iky ' and ' Cummy ' both. But after the boycott goes on, Mr. President, I suggest that you appoint a committee to investigate this matter, just to see if these victims are really guilty of the crime with which they are charged. I think that the situ- ation has been sufficiently discussed, so I call for the question. At this point the word question goes up from a hundred seats at once. The motion is put and almost unani- mously carried. Pandemonium reigns for at least ten minutes. The president appointed Pat Henry, Pitchfork, and John Wesley as a com- mittee to investigate and see if Iky and Gummy were guilty or not. and then adjourned the meeting till the fol- lowing Monday at 3 o ' clock, when the assembly would convene again to hear the report of the committee. Five days have passed, and on Mon- day afternoon at 3 o ' clock six hundred students are again gathered together in the Chapel to hear the report of the committee which had been appointed at the last meeting to investigate the charges against Gummy and Iky. The convention is called to order, and Pitchfork, chairman of the committee, opens the ball thusly : Mr. President, since we last gathered here this com- munity has been the subject of a great metamorphosis in things both terrestrial and celestial in their nature. The voice ot reason has been crying forth in the wilderness, and at last her alluring call has led into the ways of truth. Re- pentance, with her magic wand, has also been busy on the way ; so hear me while I sing my song of righteousness. We started this investigation by an interview with ' Gummy ' in his place of business. He received us with a cordial greeting and bowed his head nearly down to the floor as a token of respect. Ordinary chairs were too common, so he provided us a special seat of honor and he himself remained standing all the while. He straightway denied the charges on which he had been convicted, and then be.gan to produce evidence to show his high esteem for students. Each member of the committee was presented with a five-cent package of ' Home-Run ' cigarettes and given soda tickets enough to last the rest of the year, which I think will come in most conveniently when the weather turns a little warmer. He smote each of us on the cheek and declared that we were a bunch of most excellent young men. So. I think that this all goes to show that ' Gummy ' has a tender spot in his heart for students, and that he is their friend. In the light of this evidence the committee finds that as to ' Gummy. ' he has been rather harshly treated, and in justice to him recommends that the boycott be raised. The committee concluded its work by looking into the charges against ' Iky. ' W ' e had arranged for a date with him, and the interview was to be held in his private office. When the comtnittee walked in he was repenting in sack-cloth and ashes, and was calling on his father, Abraham, for forgiveness. Sweet in- cense was burning upon the table, and the whole surrounding presented an aspect of holiness. He greeted us by falling upon the neck of each and pla- cing a kiss upon the left cheek. Each member of the committee was presented with a season ticket to the Lyric, after which a letter was given us in trust to be read to the student body. Permit me here to read the letter : ' Lyric Theatre, Jan. 25, 1912. Ti5 the Students of Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Va. Most Dear Students : Vat has troubled me so very much in de days so recent is de boycott. I am so very sorry dat you haf been de- prived of so many nice good picture shows by not being permitted to see dem. It is quite a sacrifice to me out- side of my regular business to furnish such good nice picture shows for de students; but I lufe de sentiment vat is connected with the business, and want to prove to you dat dis sentiment comes out of my lufe for you students. As a further testimonial of my innocence I vant to add that I haf arranged to have The Lyric put on Keith ' s Circuit for de special benefit of students. Hoping dat these explanations in writings will be clear. I am, Yours in brotherly lufe. Iky. ' ' ow, Mr. President, here it a letter just bubbling over with magnanimity and filial affection, and what evidence of the innocence of this man could be stronger? So, for the reasons which I have just stated, the committee finds ' Iky ' innocent and recommends that the boycott be lifted from him. A motion is now made to adopt the report and the question is thrown open to the house for general discussion. John Wesley Galloway is recognized, who proceeds as follows : Mr. Chairman, when I arose here last Wednesday and, defying the voice of reason, endorsed the boycott, no doubt some of you were amazingly surprised. ' There was method in my madness. ' I knew that this student body was on the way to destruction, and that something had to be done to save it. So the key to salvation, ' Repent and ye shall be saved, ' flashed into my mind. Knowing the circumstances, I felt sure that, if the boycott went on, the students would learn the truth later and repent for their wrongdoing, and thereby, in accordance with the precious words which I have just quoted, reap the reward of salva- tion. Thus the motive for my position on this question at our last meeting, and in conclusion I want to say that this boycott has not been without its good results. The question was put and the report of the committee was unanimously adopted. The meeting was then ad- journed sine die, and five minutes later two hundred students were standing around Gummy ' s soda fountain and all calling for chocolate shakes at the same time.

DR, BLATANE STARTS UPON TOUR OF UNITED STATES JCONTTNTETI FROM PACE 2.] His journey was one of triumph. The track for miles was lined with a multi- tude of cheering people. The Doctor seemed greatly touched by these evidences of good will, and frccpiently his hand- kerchief was required to dry his flowing eyes. The scenery was beautiful. Many daisies grew in near-by fields. These the Doctor greatly admired, once ex- pressing a desire for a bunch of them. Mr. O ' Dold, who wished to accede to the Doctor ' s every wish, immediately procured a large bunch of the dainty tlruvers, this being made possible by the leisurely progress of the train. At Timber Ridge the Doctor ad- dressed the Old Ladies ' Dorcas So- ciety, from the rear platform. His subject was, Corns, and how to treat them. He handled the subject in a masterly manner, eliciting much ap- plause. When Staunton was reached it was learned that the local Female Suffrage Club had turned out en masse to in- terview the Doctor. Upon learning this he manifested great agitation and shrunk timidly into the depths of the seat. His nerves were so violently af- fected by this deplorable episode that he was forced to take to his bunk, remain- ing there until Washington was reached. lie was so fatigued by his journey that he went immediately to his hotel, and Mr. O ' Dold denied admittance to all. The Doctor will remain two days in Washington, during which time he will straighten out the affairs of a crooked Congress, confer with Presi- dent Taft, encourage Wood-pile Wis- dom, and put a crimp in Theo, Roose- velt. He will also address numerous or- ganizations for the promotion of world peace, and also the Lydia E, Pinkham Vegetable Compound Chajiter of the . merican F ' ederation of Incompetent I ' emales. bVom there he will proceed to New ' ork, wdiere he will dine with Mary Ciarden and Eva Tangway.

No escape can I see ; A Freshman — very green was he. In social ethics lacking; Bet he could kiss just any girl. And he had lots of backing.

The Lexington Society of Desiccated .Aristocrats held its annual meeting on last Tuesday evening at eight o ' clock at Mosstop, the ancestral home of Mrs. Pedigree Snob, the president of the organization. The ancient house, with its quaint air of old age and gen- eral decay, was tastefully decorated with the many ancestral trophies of the hostess ' family, conscipuous among these being the bullet which struck the hostess ' grandfather. General Bigmut. in the seat of his trousers, as he left the field at the Battle of Bull Sling. This was proudly displayed by Mrs. Snob, and was the subject of much comment. The meeting was called to order in the room made famous by General Stuckup Bigstifif, when he had a severe case of nose bleed there after his long run from the field at the Battle of Jacktown. The blood spots are still preserved in their original state, and are the mecca of many pilgrims yearly. The first thing on the program was a paper entitled The Menial Plebeian, by Mrs. G. Ime Itt, whose mother ' s cousin ' s husband ' s great uncle, the noted Doctor I- ' athead Pillpop. gave Washing- ton a dose of Fahrney ' s Teething Syrup just after he had bitten the neck off of a large beer bottle. Mrs. Itt handled her subject in a masterly and truly aris- tocratic manner. Mrs. Anne Cestor Hightop came next with a learned dissertation on How My Grandfather Caught the Toothache. In this paper she showed a marvelous knowledge of local historical lore, and deeply impressed her hearers with the gallantry of her ancestor, who. it will be remembered, exposed himself to this dreadful malady by lying all night in a swamp, chasing will o ' the wisps with which to light Jackson ' s pipe when the matches ran out. Another most enjoyable paper was Who ' s Who and Why, by Mrs. Big- gun Wholecheese. It will be remem- bered that her grandfather. Captain Breakenrun Faster, sprained his great toe at the Battle of Seven Kegs, and suffered untold agony for many months as a result of the unfortunate accident. These papers and several minor de- tails having been disposed of the meet- ing went into a business session. The chief business of the evening was a classification of Lexington society. This, it was demonstrated by Mrs. Little [continued on page 10] 10 THE RANK-BUM FIE DESICCATED ARISTOCRATS HOLD ANNUAL MEETING [continued from page 9] Purse Muchblood, is absolutely neces- sary for the successful maintenance of the social exclusiveness of the Desic- cated Aristocrats. She pointed out that if some social lines wer e not drawn it would be possible for the vulgar second class, cr honest workers and students, to eventually attain social ec|uality with the Aristocrats. The following class distinctions were therefore made; First — Those eligible to social recog- nition by the Aristocrats. This class shall be composed only of those who possess a good and sufficient family tree. N ' ot less than one of their ancestors must have had at least a case of nose bleed in defense of his country. The Ancestral Home shall be in a state of aristocratic decay. The greater the decay, the greater shall be the social prestige of the individual. The Coat of Arms must be of a good and sufficient model and design. The individual must abstain from all forms of profitable employment and shall at no time have in his possession a sum exceeding thirty cents. The blood of the individual shall, upon chemical analysis, show not less than 99 9-10 per cent Blue. Second Class — This class shall be ci im- posed of all who are engaged in Imnest and profitable employment ami of that unspeakable species of Genus Homo known as students. This class shall in no wise and under no circumstances re- ceive social recognition by the I ' irst Class. Third Class — These shall be the ne- groes and poor white trash, both nf whiidi are, of course, unmentionable in polite society, i. e.. the First Class. The F ' ourth Class is termed the m- tellectual class. These, however, are so greatly in the minority that they need hardly be mentioned. These matters having been disposed nf delightful refreshments were served upon the magnificent pewter service made of the bullets that failed to catch General iJigmut as he loft the lit-Ul at Bull Sling. The meeting then adjourned until next year, at which time the establish- ment of a Lexington Peerage will be considered. B. O. K A I L K O A D Safe rldine for all.
