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.
