It is fraught with difficulty, however, in that it is not possible in the limited space assigned to me to treat sufficiently at length of Professor Easter ' s work and to do justice to it. Ue la Warr Benjamin Easter was born in Baltimore, Md., October 9. 1867. Through his father, who was John Easter, Jr., of the well-known Baltimore firm of Hamilton, Easter and Company, his ancestry extends back to Captain William Easter, distinguished for services at the Battle of the Boyne. His mother was Mary Elizabeth Cullen Quarles. of Richmond, Va., and through her his ancestry runs back to Francis West of Drury Lane, King William County, Va., member of the House of Bur- gesses and descendant of Colonel John West, brother of Lord De la Warr, and himself Governor of Virginia. His father having died when he was eighteen months of age, Professor Easter ' s training and education were left in the hands of his mother. He never attended a secondary school, but entered Randolph-Macon College in October, 1883, having received all his preliminary training at home. He graduated from College with the M. A. degree in 1891. From 1886 to 1893, he held the triple instructorship in Greek, French and English in Randolph-Macon College. From 1893 to 1895, Professor Easter was Adjunct Professor of German and French in Wofr ' ord College, Spartanburg, S. C. In 1895, he was recalled to Randolph- Macon College, and held the position of Adjunct Professor of Greek and German in that Institution from 1895 to 1900. In October, 1900, Professor Easter entered Johns Hopkins University as University scholar from Virginia, which honor he held until 1904. During these years, Professor Easter devoted his time to the study of Romance Languages and Greek. In 1904 and 1905, he was Instructor in French in Johns Hopkins University and received his Doctor ' s Degree in June, 1905. From 1905 to 1910, Professor Easter held the Chair of Modern Languages in Randolph-Macon College, and in September, 1910, he was called to fill the Chair of Romance Languages at Washington and Lee Uni- versity, which position he still fills. During 1903 and 1906, Professor Easter was a student in France, at Paris and Grenoble. In 1912. he was Professor of French in the Johns Hopkins University Summer School. Doctor Easter is a member of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity ; of Omicrou Delta Kappa; of Sigma Upsilon, and of Phi Beta Kappa. He is a member of the Modern Language Association of America, and of the National Institute of Social Science. He was a member of the Committee on German Entrance Re- quirements in the Association of Southern Schools and Colleges, 1905-1910, serving as Chairman of the Committee from 1908-10. Doctor Easter is the author of a Study of the Magic Elements in the Romans d ' aventure and Romans Bretons; and also of French Syntax. On December 26, 1906, Doctor Easter married Sarah Bayxie Ayres Shep- pard of Baltimore, Md. Doctor Easter is a great teacher in four essential respects. He possesses a deep and comprehensive knowledge of his subject. To him teaching is no wearying task, but is a source of genuine pleasure. He is profoundly interested in young men ; he studies the needs of his students, knows their peculiarities, and is deeply concerned for the advancement and development of each indi- vidual. And with it all, he possesses in a most marked degree the power of stimulating men and creating in them a real enthusiasm for study. Doctor Easter is never satisfied with a superficial view or knowledge of any subject he may be interested in; he delves to the bottom of things and in- spires in his students the same attitude of mind. Accordingly, young men who sit under his instruction acquire more than a mere knowledge of the subject in hand: they come forth students in the real sense of the word. Clear and logical and accurate in his thinking, Doctor Easter has the power of presenting truth in a most interesting and appealing manner. It is not surprising, therefore, that wherever he has taught, and in whatever capacity, it has invariably been the rule that men have eagerly sought admission into his classes. Hall Canter. Greeting: The appearance of the 1915 Calyx will mark the twentieth anniversary of the birth of this publication at Washington, and Lee University. The editors in looking over some of the former issues of the book discovered this interesting piece of information: The name Calyx was chosen from the calyx of a Mower, significant of enclosing what is sweetest and best, and symbolical, as the source of what is sweetest and loveliest. In this edition of our college annual, we may not have fully lived up to the beautiful meaning of its name, but we have striven to give, in its pages, as full and accurate a story as we could, in both picture and history, of the life of our Alma Mater in all its manifold interests and activities. We have attempted to especially emphasize the pictorial side of our publication, for we believe that men in after life will enjoy this feature more than any other, when they glance back through its pages. We have made no great effort to make the book humorous, since we believe the real purpose of an annual is not to entertain temporarily, but to furnish the owner a permanent source of pleasure. In another part of the book we have expressed our appreciation for the valuable assistance we have received in producing it. We shall make no apologies for its many faults, but with this brief introduction we submit for your inspection, the 1915 Calyx, a Year Book of the students of Washington and Lee University, which is located in Lexington, Virginia. historical £ feetd; of flBastjington anti Hee During the early part of the eighteenth century. a stream of Scotch-Irish immigrants began to spread over the mountainous parts of Pennsylvania, Mary- land and Virginia. One of its branches penetrated far into the valley of the Shenandoah in Virginia. They brought with them the devotion to education and religion which they had manifested in Scotland and Ireland. The settlers in Augusta County, in 1747, established a school about fifteen miles southwest of what is now the city of Staunton, and named it the Augusta Academy. Its first principal was Robert Alexander. His associate and immediate successor was Rev. John Brown. The successor of Mr. Brown was Rev. William Graham, a graduate of Princeton. During his college days Mr. Graham was a classmate and close asso- ciate of Henry Lee, who became a dis- tinguished cavalry officer during the war of the Revolution, and whose son, Robert E. Lee, was yet more distinguished in the Civil War of the next century. On May 6. 177(i. the name Augusta Academy was changed to Liberty Hall, and in 1870 the school was moved to the immediate vicin- ity of Lexington. Through the influence of Mr. Graham. Liberty Hall was incorporated by the Legislature of Virginia, in October, 1782, as Liberty Hall Academy. It had been for a short time under the care of the presbytery of Hanover, but it re- ceived now a charter, under the terms of which the board of trustees became independent and self-perpetuating. In 1793, a stone build- ing was erected, in which Mr. Graha m continued his labors until his resignation, in 1796. Mr. Graham died in 1799, and was buried in Rich- mond. In May, 1911, his remains were transferred to Lex- ington, and interred near the chapel of the institution which he had founded more than a century previously. In May, 1913, the remains of General Henry Lee were brought from Georgia to Virginia. They were de- posited in the mausoleum, at Lexington, at the side of his 12 distinguished son. and within a few yards from the grave of his college friend, The first important gift received by Liberty Hall Academy was conferred by George Washington. In recognition of his services in the Revolution, the Legislature of Virginia, in 17S4. presented to him a number of shares in a canal company. Washington refused to accept these for his own benefit, but after some years of delay, his attention was called to Liberty Hall Academy, to which be soon afterward gave them. The generous gift by Washington was gratefully accepted by the trustees of the Academy. Their letter of acknowledgment was preceded by an act of the Legislature, in January, 1798, changing the name of the school to Wash- ington Academy. To this letter, the following reply was given: Mount Vernon, 17th June, 1798. Gentlemen — Unaccountable as it may seem, it is nevertheless true that the address with which you were pleased to honor n e, dated the 12th of April, never cane into my hands until the 14th inst. To promote literature in this rising empire and to encourage the arts have ever been amongst the warmest wishes of my heart, and if the donation which the generosity of the Legislature of the Commonwealth of Virginia has enabled me to bestow on Liberty Hall — now by your politeness called Washington Academy — is likely to prove a means to accom- plish these ends, it will contribute to the gratification of my desire. Sentiments, like those which have flowed from your pen excite rry gratitude, whilst I offer my best vows for the prosperity of the Academy, and for the honor and happiness of those under whose auspices it is conducted. Geo. Washington. Trustees of Washington Academy. The property thus bestowed on Wash- ington Academy still yields an annual income of three thousand dollars to Washington and Lee University. The bequesl of Washington served to inspire another gift. The Cincinnati Society was an organization of surviving officers formed at the close of the Revolutionary War. with branches in each of the several States. In 1802, the Virginia branch decided to dis- band. Inspired by the example of Washing- 13 ton, they bestowed their funds upon the Academy which now bore his name. The accumulated value of the fund was about twenty-five thousand dollars. In December. 1802, the Academy building was destroyed by fire, and in 1803, the work of the school was conducted in rented buildings within the limits of Lex- ington. Before the end of 1804. a building was constructed on the grounds of the present university, from which the ruins of the old academy are still visible. By act of the Legislature in 1813. the name Washington Academy was changed to Washington College. In 1826, an impor- tant impulse was received through a bequest, the ul- timate value of which was over forty-six thousand dol- lars, from John Robinson, a native of Ireland, a soldier under Washington. and during his last years a trustee of the college. The three endow- ments already secured, amounting to but little more than one hundred thousand dollars, formed the financial foundation on which Washington College rested until nearly three-fourths of the nineteenth century were completed. Soon after the outbreak of the Civil War the work of the college was dis- intinued, most of its students nlisting in the Confederate army, under the name Liberty Hall Volunteers. The buildings and other property were much injured when Lexington was occupied by the Federal army in June. 1864. At the close of the war, the college being without in- come, borrowed money on the pri- vate credit of some of the trustees for the repair of the buildings, and the work of rehabilitation was at once begun. About thirty years 14 afterward, the Congress of the United States granted remuneration for the de- struction of property by the invading army. On August 4. 1865, General Robert E. Lee was elected president. After carefully considering the subject he accepted in the following letter, part of which we emphasize : Powhatan Co., 2-1 Aug., ' G5. Gentlemen — I have delayed for some days replying to your letter of the 5th inst., informing me of my election by the Board of Trustees to the Presidency of Washington College, from a desire to give the subject due consideration. Fully impressed with the responsibilities of the office, 1 have feared that I should be unable to discharge its duties to the satisfaction of the Trustees, or to the benefit of the country. The proper education of youth requires not only great ability, but, 1 fear, more strength than I now possess, for I do not feel able to undergo the labor of conducting classes in regular course of instruction. I could not, therefore, undertake more than general administration and super- vision of the institution. There is another subject which has caused me serious reflection, and is, I think, worthy of the consideration of the Board. Being excluded from the terms of amnesty in the proclamation of the President of the United States of the 29th of May last, and an object of censure to a portion of the country, I lrava thought it probable that my occupation of the position of President might draw upon the College a feeling of hostility, and 1 should, therefore, cause injury to an institution which it would be my highest desire to advance. I think it the duty of every citizen, in the present con- dition of the country, to do all in his power to aid in the restoration of peace and harmony, and in no way to oppose the policy of the State or General Government directed to that object. It is particularly incumbent upon those charged with the instruction of the young to set them an example of submission to authority, and I could not consent to be the cause of animadversion upou the College. Should you, however, take a different view, and think that my services in the position tendered me by the Board will lie advantageous to the College and country, I will yield to your judgment and accept it. Otherwise I must most respectfully decline the office. Begging you to express to the Trustees of the College my heartfelt gratitude for the honor conferred upon me, and requesting you to accept my cordial thanks for the kind manner in which you have communicated its decision, 1 am, gentlemen, with great respect, Your most obedient servant, R. E. Lee. Messrs. John W. Brockenbrough, Rector; S. McD. Reid, Alfred Leyburn, Horatio Thompson, D. P., Bolivar Christian, T. J. Kirkpatrick, Committee. T eidHa.11 W L General Lee was formally installed as president of Washington College Octo- ber 2, 1865, and he retained this position until his death, October 12, 1870. During his administration of five years the growth of the college in numbers and influence was phenomenal. In the rear of the college chapel, which he built, is a mausoleum, in Vvhich his remains are interred. Over them is a recumbent statue of him in Italian marble, by the Virginia sculptor, E. V. Valentine. In 1849 a law school was founded in Lexington, and subsequently brought to a high state of efficiency, by Judge John W. Brockenbrough. Under the per- suasive influence of Gen- eral Lee the Lexington Law School became, in 1866, the School of Law and Eq- uity of .Washington Col- lege, with Judge Brocken- brough as professor in charge. This organic con- nection has continued to the present day. In 1871, soon after the death of General Lee, the name of Washington College was changed to its present corporate title. The Washington and Lee University. In the same year General G. W. Custis Lee succeeded his father as president. During his twenty-six years of service the scope of the institution was much enlarged, and its endowment grew, partly through his own generous giving. He resigned Decem- ber 29, 1896, was made president emeritus, and died February 18. 1913. The successor of General Custis Lee was William Lyne Wilson, who had achieved distinction during the previous fifteen years, as a member of Congress, and in the cabinet of President Cleveland. President Wilson ' s brief administraticn 16 was signally beneficial to the institution. It was closed by his death, October 17, 1900. Professor Henry St. George Tucker, J L ' u .l h j ' • ■ f Jean of the sel I of law. acted as presi- dent during the unexpired last year of President Wilson ' s term. In September, 1901, Dr. George II. Denny, who for two years had held the chair of Latin in the university, was elected president. He was inaugurated in June, 1902, and terminated his connection with Washington and Lee, December 31, 1911, thus closing ten years of vigorous ad- ministration, during which the in- stitution made rapid and marked progress in various lines. During the vacancy of six months following the withdrawal of President Denny, the duties of the presidency were confided by the trustees jointly to the dean. Dr. II. I). Campbell, and the treasurer. Mr. J. L. Campbell. In January, 1912, Dr. Henry Louis Smith was called from the presidency of Davidson ( ington and Lee University. Jlege to that of Wash- He assumed his new 1912, and was formally exceptional ifficient official functions July 1. inaugurated May 7. 1913. Mr. J. L. Campbell died April 22, 1913, alter thirty-six years of service. The D o r e m u s Bequest of between two and three million dollars leaves the financial fu- ture of till ' university se- cure, and with 1 lie tradi- tions of the past carried along with the growth of the school, a wonderful increase in influence and service may be predicted. 17 trustees WILLIAM ALEXANDER ANDERSON, 1885 LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA ALEXANDER TKDFORD BARCLAY, 1885 LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA EDWARD CLIFFORD GORDON, Isss ST.

Perhaps because of his habit of creeping along the campus, trying to make it from the Sigmu Nn Bouse to Tucker Hall before t he end of a nine o ' clock roll call. Charles Ralph was born in Hedgesville, W. Va.. on April the twenty-third, L893. While at Washington and Lee, the Junior Law Class showed their confidence in his inability to move away fast by making him secretary and treasurer of the class. His ambition is to return to his native State and practice law, and principally, to help West Vir- ginia in her efforts to prevent Virginia from collecting the war debt.

Charles Town, West Virginia Becky entered the University in 1911, took work in the Academic College, later entering the law depart- ment, lie assisted prominently in furthering athletics at the ' varsity, and his career may be gleaned in part from the following: Football Squad, lull, 1912 and 1913; Assistant ManageT Baseball, 1914; Manage) Baseball, 1915; Secretary Washington Literary Society, 1913, and Member of Judiciary Committee, 1914; Presi- dent West Virginia Club, 1914; Vice-President Masonic Club, 1914; Arrangement Committee Pinal Ball, 1914.

Entering Washington and Lee in September. 1913, Arthur Myron led rather a retired life until the X. I. L. days rolled around. Then he endeared bin self to his class-mates forever by asking Professor Moomaw, during a lecture on delivery in escrow, for an explanation as to why a bond could not be delivered to a friend ' ' of the obligee, instead of to a stranger. Possessing a wonderfully sweet voice. Birdsall is a talented vocalist, nab- the Glee Club, ana still found time to pass all his law tickets. JOHN CALLAWAY BROWN II K A Bedford City, Virginia To know him is to like him, and to hear his delicious laugh is to be entrance!. Born in Bedford City, Va., October the sixth, 1892, John Callaway entered the Washington and Lee law department in 1 13-14. From the first, ' ' Brownie demonstrated himself to be a mixer. That ' s the reason why every rr.an in Tucker Hall is his friend. Realizing the worth of hard work as a means of making law tickets, John Callaway did the required work, with the result that when examina- tion days rolled around he was there with the answers to those exasperating blocks of question. PAUL CHALMERS BFFORD, Jr., B K, A T n, White Friar, A White Haven, Tennessee P. C. was born at College Hill, Miss., March the thirteenth, 1893. He carried away an A. B. from the academic department in 1912, and incidentally a Phi Beta Kappa key and numerous other honors in class- room and campus activities. Buford captained the Alpha Tau Omega Championship Fraternity Baseball Team last year, was Executive Committeeman of the Junior Law Class, and has done splendid work as Vice-President of the Y. M. C. A. CHESTER CUSH CHAMBERS, Peck ' s Mill, West Virginia Where he annexed the ' ' Cush ' ' is a mystery — but it ' s there just the same. No one can deny that his is, in the aggregate, a name which is at once euphonious when pronounced and attractive when written. ' ' Cush ' ' was born, it is written, in Peck ' s Mill, W. Va., on December the eleventh, 1890. Entering ashington and Lee in 1913, he has proved himself a hard student, an all-round good fellow, and was elected Vice-Presi- dent of the Law Class of 1915, serving during the latter part of the year as President. 36 WILLIAM EARLE CRANK A X P Louisa, Virginia Ever preferring a seat among the conservatives than a place in the glare of the spotlight, Crank demon- strated to his classmates that it pays to study dili- gently and sit back and take notes. lie was born at Yanceyville, Virginia, on September the twenty- ninth, 18j1, and entered Washington and Lee in 1911, taking two years in the academic college before ven- turing into the realms of law. Crank was one of the men in the 1915 class who would have been a recipient of an Intellectual Monogram, if such honors had I. ecu bestowed in the Law Department, being persist- ently and consistently a maker of A grades. PAUL VVAPLES DERRICKSON K A. II A N Norfolk, Virginia !-o handsome that all the dissatisfied wives down in Norfolk will retain him to procure divorces from their c-r-u-e-1 husbands.

Huntington, West Virginia Pete entered the university in 1909, took a B. A. degree in 1913, and unless all signs fail, is destined to walk away with a blue-ribboned, Latin- phrased LL. B. with the class of 1915. It would require far ir.ore than the alloted number of lines to tell of Gibson ' s history in college. Briefly, verv briefly, he was honored in part as fol- lows: Editor-in-Chief of Ring-Turn Phi, 1912-13; Secretary General Athletic Association, 1913-14; Presi- dent of ' the Student Body, 1914-15; Historian of the Class of 1913, and of the Junior Law Class; Contribut- ing Editor of the Ring-Turn Phi, 1913-14. He is one of the framers of the present Student Body Constitu Hon, one of the Authors of the Campus Tax, a violent opponent of Compulsory Chapel, and all like measures ' ' in toto. ' ' HENRY BOCOCK GLASS, 2 N, n A N, A A Lynchburg, Virginia Son e men get through college by hard work, others by Drilliancy. Fortunate indeed is the man to whom either the capacity for hard work or for brilliancy is available, as occasion demands or personal desires suggest. Such a man is our ' ' Goosie. ' ' Geese ' ' annexed the principles of law with an ease that was rather bewildering. He was born in Lynehburg, Va., March the twenty-second, 1S90, entering the academic department of the university iu 1908 and matriculating for law in 1913. He made the character of Siamese famous in the Pan Show of 1913. He is a singer of rare ability, but as it usually costs him something ' to display his voice, he is always very quiet. Hobby — playing golf. BENJAMIN 11ADEN, Jr. K 2, 2, White Friar, A , 13 Club, C. C. Pixcastle, Virginia The ' ' Blond Beauty is a relic of the good old days, and one can tell from his mournful countenance that things as they exist around here do not suit him at all. He laid low during his first years in college but after thirteen months of enforced idleness caused by pink-eye, he came back and took the school by storm. His record attests the facts that he has been both a shark and a good fellow. English Department Scholarship, 1909; Politics Department Scholarship, 1911; Bradford Scholarship, 1910; President of Junior Law Class, 1914; Secretary Inter-Fraternity Council, 1915; Athletic Council, 1915. Ben will practice law in ' ' Fishcastle. ' ' 38 JEFFERSON DAVIS IIEFLEY, Cameron, Texas Cameron, Texas, is the birthplace of Jefferson Davis Holly, Jr., the tine being July the third, 1892. Entered the academic department of the university in the fall of 1913, but was lured over to Tucker Hall at the end of the first term, just in time to indulge in a pyrotech- nical course in Torts, with especial reference to the Non-assignable Duties of the Master, ' ' with Dean Burks as chief expounuer of latent defects and assump- tion of risks. ' ' Jeff ' managed to keep busy in the law school and at the same time introduce on tin ' campus the latest style in Texas sombreros. ROBERT GARLAND II UNDLEY, ' !• I! K. A X 1 ' , $ A A, A 2 P Fahmville, Virginia Splendidly equipped educationally and with a natural bent for law, it is small wonder that Bob has been successful in his work around Tucker Hall. Among the many honors attained by Hundley during his years at Washington and Lee may be mentioned: Vice-Presi- dent of Washington Literary Society, 1912; Debater at Annual Celebration, 1913; Secretary of the Society, 1912-13; President, 1913; Final Orator, 1913; Joint President of Graham-Lee and Washington Societies, 1914; Intercollegiate Debater against University of Georgia at Athens, Ga„ 1913. HARRY BLACKBURN JORDAN, II K A. A 9 Bedeokd City, Virginia Harry was born in Bedford, Va, July the fourteenth, 1889. His official nickname around the law school is Blaekie, but the fellows prefer to call him Jer- din. Quiet and unassuming, Jordan travelled through the many pitfalls from Contracts to Evidence with conservative fortitude, and sometimes with conspicious success, taking ' em as they came. He plans to return to Bedford to practice his profession, and may take a notion to go to the Virginia Legislature and cause the name of his home town to be changed back from Bedford to Liberty. 39 LORING CLAUDE KACKLEY, Berryvi lle, Virginia The honor of being his birth place goes to Berrj ' ville, Va. January the fourth, 1892, was the glad day of his coming, and September, 1913, found him a Junior in law at Washington and Lee. Kaekley is seldom ob- served when his face does not wear a judicial look. Hence friends dubbed him Judge, which nickname proved lasting as well as appropriate. Judge Kaekley is a hard worker and intends to compel the folks around Berryville to sit up and take notice when he hangs out his shingle. WILLIAM ALOYSIUS KELEHER, 2 X, $ A $ Albuquerque, New Mexico Was born in Lawrence, Ivans., November the seventh, 1886, reared in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and engaged in newspaper work for several years. He entered Washington and Lee in the fall of 1913, taking the law course and spending a few spare hours a week, during his senior year, in the academic department, gathering up En glish and History, not to mention ac- quiring a forensic bearing in Oral Debates. JOHN KIRKPATR1CK, T A Lynchburg, Virginia A student at Washington and Lee since 1909, John Kirkpatrick takes a LL. B. degree with the class of 1915, having the satisfaction of knowing that he leaves his Alma Mater, one of the best known and best liked men in the university. Jaek did splendid work in the academic department and then joined in the procession to Tucker Hall, taking the three years course. As a result, he has never had to worry about the ultin ate success of his endeavors for a degree. Born in Lynchburg, Va., on August the fourteenth, 1891, Jack plans to practice law in his native State. 40 THOMAS SYDNOE K I h ' KI ' ATRICK, A T A, II A N, 2, l A I , C. C. Lynchburg, Virginia Tom just naturally found a niche for Himself at Washington ami Lee an., his wide popularity is every bit deserved. Horn in St. Paul, Minnesota, on the first of March, 1893, anil matriculated at Washington and Lee in 1910, taking the B. A. course before! coming over into the law department, lie has been repeatedly chosen a leader i ti many different phases of college activities. Captain of Senior Football Team, 1912; Manager of Varsity Baseball, lull; i.istorian of Sopho- n ore Class, 1911; President of Cotillion Club, 1914-15; Leader of Fancy Dress Ball, 1915.

Laughon (pronounced Lawn and not Leghorn ), was In, in March the second, 1892. WALTER CALAHILL LESTER Stuart, Virginia The mystic maze of memory is a tangible asset with Pat, for he was born in Patrick County, Virginia, the home of Virginia Fairy Stones, and conse- quently is well versed in the value of these bits of enchanted rocks. Lester entered Washington and Lee in 1913, after having attended Stuart High School, Mountain Normal School, and William and Mary Col lege, thus proceeding from one famous and historic institution to another. While studying law at Wash- ington and Lee, Lester had time to become a member of the Unknown Club, the Tennis Club, Albert Sid- ney Boat Club, and is vice-president of the Southwest Virginia Club, and on the managerial staff of the King-Turn Phi. 41 JOHN ARTHUE LIXGLE, 2 X. White Friar, 2, A Paoli, Indiana Fortified with knowledge gained at college, evidenced by a B. A. won at De Pauw. John Arthur Lingle, Jr., entered Tucker Hall for the first time in the fall of 1913. Only a brief space of time was required for Jack to gain merited popularity. To know .lack ' ' is to like him and to understand why he has retained un- usual popularity all through the law course. Born at Paoli. Ind., October the fourth, 1890, he is a sure ' miff Indianaian. He expects to return to the Hoosier State to practice law, and incidentally to take a hand in Indiana politics. Jack has only one failing — a tendency to having his heart broken by Virginia Beauties. However, that ' s confidential, so please don ' t mention it outside. WILLIAM CECIL LITTLE, Douglas, Georgia Born in Kansas, reared in Georgia, educated in legal lore in Virginia — such in brief is the life history, edu- cationally, of Senator Little. He entered Washing- ton and Lee, taking one year of academic work, and then transferring his affections to the law school. Very systematic ami a hard student, Little has fought a tren endous battle to see. whether love or law should be supreme. It looks as though he will overcome both obstacles before June. However, he has swallowed law tickets whole and has had time on the side to gain fame as a speaker and orator. Secretary, Critic, and Censor of Washington Literary Society; Speaker at Annual Celebration. 1914; Winner of Debater ' s Medal. 1914; President of Joint Celebration of Literary Societies. 1914; Intercollegiate Debater against Trin- itv. 1915. ANDREW WEXDALL MANX. 2 E Lexington, Virginia Falling Spring, West Virginia, is the place of Ms birth, and July the fourteenth, 1892, the month, day and year. Andrew Wendall entered Washington anil Lee in 1912, taking work first in the academic depart- ment, and later joining the law recruits. He would rather play politics than take an examination on Real Property, which is going some. Popular all over col- lege. Andrew has been amply rewarded with honors from time to time. He was historian of the Freshman Class in 1913, and a member of the Southern Collegian Staff the following vear. HENRY FLETCHER MARTIN, A T A, II A X, A I Jacksonville, Florida His favorite pastime, reading letters bearing a Lynchburg, Va. postmark, Hank found time, in addition to letter-writing, to read quite a bit ot law during intermissions. Martin was born in Greencastle, Penna., on the sixth of March in the year of Our Lord, 1893, and entered Washington and Lee twenty years later. A typical college man, ' ' Hank is a successful student and lias participated promine ntly in the var- ious college activities. lie plans to either practice law or take over an attractive position in the consular service. JAMES HEREFORD McGINNIS, 2 N, A A Beckley, West Virginia No one will deny the fact that Mac is the hand- somest brunette in the class of 1915. If there was any one thing that Mac preferred to patrolling upper Main Street or playing golf, it was the study of law. McGinnis was born and raised in Beckley, V. Va., on June the fifth, 1891. He entered Washing- ton and Lee in 1911, and in 1913 matriculated in Tucker Hall. lie is a star performer in the Band. CHARLES ALLISON M KXKEMELLER, K 2, White Friar, A Wheeling, West v irginia One of the youngest and at the same time one of the most proficient and efficient men in the class of 1915, is Charles Allison, known to n ost of the world as Menke. February the second, 1895, and Wheeling- are the important things to be remembered, as the date and place of ais arrival into the world, lie hur- ried through High School and entered the university in 1913. By registering a mark of 99 on a preliminary Pleading examination, Menke established a pre- cedent which oup-ht to gain him a permanent niche in the Tucker Hall of Fame. As he has lots of spare time, he is engaged as official photographer for the Calyx. He will practice law in his native State. 13 JOSEPH WILLIAM MILNER, K 2, White Friar Gulfport, Mississippi It is rather a seldom occurrence that a college man is at the same time a good athlete and a hard student. Such combinations do happen, however, and was exem- plified in the class history of ' ' G-port Joe. ' Milner was one of the mainstays of the ' varsity football squad and also demonstrated his skill on the baseball dia- mond, where his gyrations on first base delighted the grandstand. In Tucker Hall, Joe 1 ' has done some of his best work in handling law tickets, having mighty few errors marked up against him during the course, lie started life on January tne twenty-third, 1892, in Columbiana, Alabama, but was reared in Gulfport, Miss. His wild tales of life in that metropolis have raised the hairs on more than one freshman ' s head. He will practice law among the sand-dunes of his native State. WILLIAM MEADORS MIXTER, Jr., A O Ben Lomond, Virginia Why the fellows call him Dub is an impenetrable mystery, as unsoivable as the story of the Sphinx. The entry in the family Bible down in Essex County, Vir- ginia, where he was born, reads ' ' William Meadors Minter, Jr., ' Dub entered here five years ago, taking preparatory collegiate work before entering the law department. Gifted as a musician, he made the Guitar and Mandolin Club and the band. Generous with the display of his talents, on any occasion he would rather, any day, play The International Rag than attend a lecture on International Law. WILLIAM HENRY OAST, K A Portsmouth, Virginia Here we have the manager of the 1914 Calyx, none other than our old friend Rooster, a product of the U. S. Navy Yard at Portsmouth, Va. He sleeps on one of Willie Higgins ' pool tables, and takes his meals at McCrum ' s Soda Fountain. He is a prime favorite with the merchants of Lexington and vicinity, on account of the nice ads. he gave them in his masterpiece, The Calyx. Rooster is a good fellow and his expansive smile is always welcomed. His speech in the cnapel on the subject of The White Ladies ' Calyx is long to be remembered. 44 MIGUEL ANTONIO OTERO, Jr., A e Santa Ee, New Mexico To be preferred by professors as an auditor rather than an active participant in recitations is a badge of distinction conferred upon few young lawyers. Such an honor, however, was bestowed upon Ote, the reason being a persistent tendency, unconsciously and unavoidably to break up class decorum. Otero was horn August the thirtieth, 1892, in Las Vegas, Mexico, entering Washington and Lee in 1913. A very likeable chap, Mike has gained a host of friends about Tucker Hall and the university at large. LOUIS JOHN ROBBTNS, A H Venus, Florida Tiring of Hie fascinating sport of hunting alligators through the swamps of Florida, Robbins traveled up- ward through the Southern States to the Heart of the Blue Ridge Country in 1911, 1 signed up lor a three year course at Tucker Hall. Louis John, better known as Robbie, ' ' proved a firm believer in the divine right of kings, likewise in the popular pastime of pest- ering Shorty ' ' Grubert. Confidentially, Robbins was born at Alva ' , Florida, in the year 1£85. RALPH KENT ROBERTSON, A H t Oklahoma City, Oklahoma By carrying two years work in the third term in 1914, and attending a summer session in 191. ' !. Judge was successful in earning an LL. B., ami making an exit from Tucker Hail three months in advance of the i lass of 1915. Born in Oklahoma, R. K. ' ' was reared in the infant State of Oklahoma and entered Washing- ton and Lee to study law after having won consider- able success in his Ion e State as a professor in agri- cultural colleges. A sure enough mixer, R. K. has proved himself a popular nan at the University. He is a member of the Masonic Club, of the Glee Club and the University Band, and as a diversion, took a hand now and then in class politics. Already a member of the Oklahoma Bar, Robertson will practice law at Oklanoma City in partnership with his brother. 45 KENELM LAWRENCE SHIRK, Lincoln 1 , Pennsylvania Tnat it pays to burn the midnight Mazda light is evidenced in the case of ' ' The Study of Law vs. K. L. Shirk. ' ' During his two years at Washington and Lee, he has maintained a high standard of scholarship throughout the course, and had the honor of being one of the two men to make 99 on Pleading. Besides being an attendant at all athletic contests and having the reputation of the most enthusiastic rooter in college, Shirk is a member of the Hard Work Club, the Graham- Lee Literary Society, and the Albert-Sidney Boat Club. His ambition is to become a member of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Here ' s hoping! ISAAC D. SMITH, Petersburg, West Virginia The Law Class of 1915 committed only one grave fault in travelling over tue rocky road from Contracts to Evidence. That sin of omission was their failure to elect ' ' 1. D. ' ' as poet laureate of the class. Smith is some verse maker, besides being a real law student. He intends to hang out a shingle in some part of the great State of West Virginia. WILLIAM HAIMES SMITH, A T A, II A N, 2, A S , C. C. Richmond, Virginia Famous as a punter on the gridiron, Little Willie will be long remembered by his mor e intimate friends because of the appropriate and vigorous remark rend- ered at the conclusion of a certain football game in Norfolk, Don ' t let me fight, boys! Bill was born in Gainesville, Texas, and entered Washington and Lee in 1911. He is Secretary of the Athletic Association. and an all-round athlete, having been on the Baseball Team in 1914, and a member of the Football Team in 1913 and 1914. A true Texan, Bill enjoyed de- served popularity throughout the university during his stay here. 46 ROY SMITH, K 2, White Friar, I H I C. C. Oceana, Virginia World renowned as a ' ' toe dancer, ' 1 Roy Smith will gain undying fame and an international reputation on the stage if he should ever decide to desert the law. Woy is a dreamer and has often been heard to mur- n nr, Thtood back. Despite the fact that Roy has a form like a dumb-bell, his general appearance is suffi- ciently attractive to cause more than one lady to fall. Besides being the author of several song hits, while at college. Woy found plenty of time to study Real Property, Pleadings and various other attractive sub: jects. JAMES ALEXANDER TIMBERLAKE, Mulberry, Florida On George Washington ' s Birthday, 1893, there was born in Lakeland, Florida, the young man whose countenance appears oppsite this sketch. Timber hurried through high school, picsed up a B. A. in a well-known Southern College, and then turned up here with a view to carrying off an Id.. I ' .. from tin- univer- sity fostered in the early days of its history by the • ' Father of His Country. JOHN DYER TRIMBLE, 1 K -I ' , A B t Washington, Arkansas Early iu his Junior year, J. D. indicated a capa- city for real hard work on law tickets. Having estab- lished a high grade precedent for himself in his first year, he was literally compelled to sustain his reputa- tion in the Senior Year. Possessing much native Arkansas shrewdness, ' ' J. D. is bound to i ake good as a lawyer. Popular with his fellows, lie was elected Executive Committeen an from the Senior (. ' lass, and in this position has had much to do with directing the affairs of the class during the past year. MALCOLM PIROE TRIMBLE, K % White Friar, 13 Club, 16 Washington, D. C. Kelly is the Million Dollar Mystery around Wash- ington and Lee, the puzzle being why he hasn ' t been married before his college career came to a close. He came here from Cattlettsburg, his arrival, of course, creating a furore, whence he was given an appropriate middle name — to-wit, ' ' Firor. ' ' The young man after two years desultory work in the academic de- partment, where he acquired a number of- college habits, entered the law department in 1912. He has proved himself a real progressive in the matter of haberdashery, setting the pace for sartorial fashions in Tucker Hall. A look at his picture will convince one that he is handsome and a regular devil. In short, he has proved himself a real Kentnckian while at Washington and Lee. LEWIS TYREE, A X P, A A, A 2 P, Salem, Virginia To accuse a person of being a star scholar is one tiling, to prove it. is another. All of which leads to the remark that Lewis proved himself one of the real shining lights in the law school. If Intellectual Mono- grams were offered in law, Tyree would have acquired a flock of them in his two years here. Annexed a B. A. and M. A. degree at the University of Virginia. While there he was a n ember of the Raven Society, and is a member of the Masonic Club at Washington and Lee. Instructor in English, 1913-14, 1914-15. HERMAN EMIL ULMER, ATS,A!P Toledo, Ohio Far and away the speediest nan ' in the law school in finishing examination papers, Blondy proved him- self not only a shark on examinations, but pretty much of a wonder all the way in going through the law course. He made the debating team during the first yea of his work in the law school, and was elected to membership in Delta Sigr a Rho. In his Senior year, Blondy was elected Secretary and Treasurer of the Law Class. Ulmer intends to practice law in Jacksonville, Florida. 48 LAWRENCE BUTLEE WALES K 2, White Friar, 1 A A Norfolk, Virginia Attached find a likeness of a distinguished member of the distinguished class of 1915 — none other than Lawrence, Prince of Wales, the pride of Princess Anne Comity. He belongs to the number of strays from the academic into the law school. Prince was Number 2 on the Harry Lee first crew, 1914, stroke of Harry Lee scrub crew; member of the Mandolin Club, Glee Club, and Monogram Club. Law or banking will be his life work. Intimate friends claim that banking will win, basing their opinion on facts rather than fancies. A word to the wise! WILLIAM ALFRED WRIGHT, ! K ! ' , II A X, X 13 Club, -h A I , C. C. Tappahannock, Virginia Billy came from a section of the State which lias furnished the country with George Washington, Robert E. Lee, James Madison, and other famous men. It is evidently up to Billy to live up to the reputa- tion of his birth-place, and to do this he took the first step in the right direction — matriculated at Washing tun and Lee in 1909. One of the most popular men in school he entered the domain of Dean Burks and was elected President of the Junior Law Class. CARL CARL1PP WPRZBACH, A 6 San Axtoxio, Texas Carl was born in the above mentioned city in Sep- tember, 1893, and he celebrated his twentieth birth- day by setting out for Washington and Lee. Wurtz has the happy faculty of making friends, likewise the valuable asset of knowing how to be a friend. In the race for a degree, he sees the goal in sight, and has not yet knocked over any hurdles, lie will practice law in San Antonio under the direction of relatives who have preceded him up the steep steps of the profession to honor and wealth. 19 Officers T.

' Perhaps so, for you, hut net for those one hundred or so embryonic legalites who passed through the portals of Tucker Hall to receive the benediction of Daddy I lurks. For them it was a red-letter day. a day of more than passing significance. The sun ruse in its accustomed place in the heavens, the earth started on its daily trip as usual, the heart uf the South was still beating at Lexington, hut something else had happened. A new Junior Law Class had come into being. Not only was it composed of excellent students and fine young men. hut the Cream of the South was very much in evidence. (Said Cream turned sour after one session with Daddy. ) In fact the president of our University was so impressed with his new acquisition that he was moved to make a few com- mendatory remarks. Among other things, he states in his News Letter to the Alumni that the preparation and maturity of the class has elicited much favor- able comment. So you see that the aforementioned Junior Law Class is no ordinary class, and as historian, we realize the grave responsibility we are assuming- in our feeble effort to emblazon its record and its achievements on the tablets of posterity. It would give us the greatest pleasure in the world to tell you of all that lias been accomplished by the Class, hut for modesty ' s sake and because of the gi - eat expense attached to the privilege of filling these pages with fact and fiction, we must needs lie brief, and we shall therefore call your attention to merely its most pre-eminent accomplishments and characteristics, Certain members of the Class early exhibited well defined poetic tendencies in the shape of pathetic verse anonymously subscribed. The august Seniors were moved to tears by their pathos, and in appreciation of the unknown bards they called a joint meeting of the Senior and Junior classes that they might have the opportunity of passing judgment upon the verses and the versifiers. Mr. Chambers was particularly eloquent in his remarks. Truly he soared, and on the wings of rapturous phrases he transported his hearers into the celestial world where dwell the angels. When the forensic winds calmed and we had returned safely to more familiar surroundings, it was resolved that the verse which had created such a sensation should lie painted from memory and cast into innocuous desuetude, that peace might reign over Tucker Hall. Upon the intellectual gridiron the class has scored touchdown after touchdown. Records were made and records were shattered. One member of the facility was frank enough to come out openly and admit that the Class was too good for him. Such an admission is unprecedented in the history of the Law School and is sufficient in itself to stamp the present Junior Law Class as a class par excellence. The school term was yet young when the political pot began to boil. Gentlemen of affability, capability and stability announced their fitness to fill the various offices that needed them. Midnight caucuses were held. Dark whis- perings and muttering? floated about in the atmosphere. Cigars, handshakes, and greetings were dispensed with amazing generosity. Political deals were negoti- ated with a finesse that neither Murphy. Barnes, Mark Hanna nor Morgan Keaton coidd have excelled, and when election day finally arrived, nominating speeches were made that would have turned Bob Ingersoll and Win. Jennings Bryan green with envy. Oratory carried the day in the election for Executive Committeeman, but the Ciceronian efforts proved futile in the race for the presidency. A dark horse ran rough shod over his opponents and covered them with a shower of votes that followed in his wake. A record of the Class achievements would be incomplete without some mention of the work done by the athletically inclined members. Our contribution to athletics was not as large as it might have been, but what we lacked in quantity we made up in the quality. Several men made good in football, and several are making good in basket-ball — and lest ye forget, permit us to call your attention to the fact that it was a Junior Lawyer who carried the ball over A. and M. ' s goal-line and brought to Washington and Lee the South Atlantic Championship. We hope that from, these few meagre facts concerning the Junior Law Class you have gathered the idea we intended to convey, namely, that the Class is quite versatile and most promising. Personally — though we do not possess any marked prognosticative ability — we make bold to predict brilliant futures for a number of individual members of the Class, and substantial success for all the rest.

Needless tn say, he is an ever-shining light in the classroom. Nic was I in ii in the historic old town of Fredericksburg on the sixth of November, 1895, according to the ancient records of the village. He entered Washington and Lee in the fall of 1914. Member Graham-Lee Literary So- ciety; Harry Lee Boat Club, and the Staff of the Southern Collegian, lie intends to bee a teacher. ROBERT PATTERSON ADAMS, Trenton, Tennessee What General George Washington is to Trenton, New Jersey, Bob Adams is to Trenton. Tennessee. The latter was never on the nap I at least not for us), until Bob made it known that he was born there on April the eleventh, 1S94. He will probably study law, and return to his home to impress upon them the fact that they must live within the law. - ' As a lawyer, Bob should make what the modern Amer- ican would call a hit. as his store of humor and wit should be practically inexhaustible. LESLIE SAM TEL ANDEKSON, I K , White Friar, 13 Club, C. C. Oca i. a, Florida Following in the footsteps of an older brother, Les left his native haunts of Florida in 1912. and .-journeyed to Virginia, where he settled for a time. He was born August the seventh, 1894. and looks every day of it. He played Freshman football and basket- ball; Captain of the Sop-iomore football team; member Albert-Sidney Boat Club. He was also Seeretary- Treasurer of the Freshman Class, and Historian for his Sopnomore colleagues. He expects to take up the study of medicine, ami then return to his native State to cure the ills of its people. We hope that they will have as much faith in him as we have, for it is our belief that he will make an excellent pill -roller. 57 WINSTON CARTER BLEIGIIT, Prince William County, Virginia Catie is a product of the Old Dominion State, having been born among the hills of Prince William County on August the thirty-first, 1894. Fredericks burg College claimed his valuable time and scholarly attainments for a time, but like many have done be fore, he aspired for other worlds to conquer and came to Washington and Lee in the fall of 1914. He is a member of the Graham-Lee Literary Society. With a simple change from teaehee ' to teacher, he will con- tinue to woo the Muses of Education. ellis Mcdonald bristow, r a Urbanna, Virginia Mike entered Washington and Lee in the days of September, 1911, hailing from a little village of East- ern Virginia whose name is Urbanna. Should you go to the little town, the natives will very proudly tell you that their menfolks are at Wasinngton and Lee, but that he will be home in June with a degree at- tacned to the rear of his name. ' -..uke ' ' has been away from his native hearth for four vears now, and has received the following nonors in that time: Cap- tain Class Basket-Ball Team, 1913-14; Class Football, 1913-15; Graham-Lee Literary Societv; Vice-President, Junior Class, 1913-14. JOHi, CARROLL BUBB, Washington, D. C. Bubb is the har u -workin ? man from Washington. For j-our long years has he labored without rest or re- freshment, toward the attainment of a degree. He says that the climate of Lexington does not agree with him, and that he intends to return to the National Capital in June, and help the City Fathers manage the city for a few years. Bubb was born on July the twenty- seventh, 1890, and came to Washington and Lee in the fall of 1911. May the gods give him good fortune wherever he goes in the future. 58 WALTEE LAPSKY CARSON, A X l A 1 P Covington, Virginia Many en 10111 in in s could be said in favor of this young man. Since coming to Washington and Lee in the fall of 1910, he lias proved himself a true son of the Old Dominion State. He was born at Sharp ' s Wharf on the twentieth of January, 1894, and was n ade a good Presbyterian shortly afterward, lie served as a member of the .nter-collegiate Team of 1913-14; Glee Club, Band, Mandolin Club and Orchestra, 1911- 13-14-15; Manager Hand, 1.913-14; Leader of Glee Club, 1914-15. He was a member of the V. M. ( ' . A. when membership was not con pulsory, and since joining the ranks of the collegians has done much good work in this line. He will become a minister of the gospel in years to come. WILLIAM VVATJGH CASH, Eagle Rook, Virginia Bill ' s patronymics are beyond the powers of numbers to express, even greater than the hairs of his upper lip, for be it known that he is the proud possessor of a mustachio ad absurdum ' raised to the II. O.th power. Some tew of the euphonious cognomens of this young scion are Spot Cash, Change, Money, Snail Change, etc., ad in- finitum. Eagle Rock claims him as her son, and says that he was born there on the sixteenth of November, 1893. MADISON PETTIGREW COE Kdinburg, Virginia Madison says that his middle name is Pettigrew, but that he is not related in the slightest to the famous Joseph Pettigrew of Lexington golf circles. For two long years he has served as assistant to Miss Annie White, and in that time has developed a saccharine temper that is unruffleable. He became a member of the Society of Terrestrial Inhabitants on the nineteenth of November, 1st). ' !, in Kdinburg. Virginia. Before CO ill to Washington and Lee lie was a prep at Randolph -Macon Academy of Front Royal. He came to Lexington in lull ' . Has played class basket-ball, and a great deal of tennis. In future days he will become a business man. 59 JOSEPH LOWRIE DEAN, ATS Opelika, Alabama Opelika is an Indian name, and it must have some terrible meaning in the original Choctaw, for Joe holds it as closely to himself as the Sphinx of ancient days helu her riddle of life. Its his home town, and probably Joe doesn ' t like to talk about it for that reason. In 1910 a resistless longing came to him to see more of the world outside his native heath, and he came to Lexington, where he entered under the care of Dr. Denny. Since then he has joined the Track Squad, and done service in the Band, 191011, 1913-14, 1914.15, being Leader in 1913-14. He is a loyal member of the Canadian Club, and ice-President of the Alaoama Club. In medicine or business he will find his life-work. RICHARD WILLIAMSON FOWLKES, K 2, II A X. 13 Club, C. C. Danville, Virginia Dick graduated from the Danville High School and the Danville School for Boys, and then came to Washington and Lee for post-grad work. Since his arrival he has held the following offices: Manager Freshman Basket-ball Team; Vice-President Sophomore Class; Assistant Manager Ring Turn Phi, 1912-13; Manager Ring Turn Phi, 1913-14; Executive Committee Final Ball, 1914; Assistant Manager Basket-ball, 1913- 14; Manager Basket-ball, 1914-15; Albert-Sidney Boat Club, Albert-Sidney Second-Crew Coxwain, 1913; Graham-Lee Literary Soeiety, Y. M. C. Cabinet, Presi- dent Senior Class. CLAIBORNE WATTS GOOCH, A 8, White Friar, C. C. Lynchburg, Virginia Claiborne says that he can always remember three dates in the world ' s history — when Columbus dis- covered America in 1492, When Washington crossed the Delaware in 1776, and when he was born into this world in Lynchburg on February the twenty-fourth, 1895. But to lay aside all persiflage, and get down to real facts. He cane to Washington and Lee in 1912; Class Football, 1913-14-15; Harry Lee Boat Club, Second Harry Lee Crew, 1913; First-Crew, 1914; Vice- President Club, 1914; Crew Committee, 1915; Graham- Lee Literary Society; Lynchburg Club; Secretary Jun- ior Class, 1914. The business world will claim his time in the fu ture. 60 WILLIS PEEBY GROSECLOSE, Lexington, Virginia In his youth he forgot the words of his fairy godmother, and became a follower of Hercules; but as he drew nearer to manhood the old order crept back into his heart, anil when he entered Washington and Lee in the fall of 1911, he was a full fledged artist on horns of any description, especially trombones. Since then he has led a career chiefly i usical. Uni- versity Band and Orchestra, 1911-15. lie is the man who made the first band arrangement of the ' ' Swing. ' In addition to his musical numbers he has won three scholarships, including the Franklin Society Scholar- ship. Assistant in English, 1914-15. He will probably study medicine or become a second Creatore or Sousa. HERMAN RANDOLPH HAMPTON, 2 A E Fordyce, Arkansas On the twenty-first of November, 1892, Eamp was born in this little town. In 1911, lie came to Washing- ton and Lee in the pursuit of higher learning. The people of his native State n ade him Vice President of the State Club, 1912-13. lie has also served on the Reecption Committee Final Ball, 1914, and the Albert- Sidney Crew Committee. In 1913, was Coxwain, Albert-Sidney Crew. In future years he will be a lumber n anufacturer. WOODSON PLYER HOUGHTON, 2 X Washington, D. C. Hought is a National in every sense of t_e word. He was born in the nation ' s capital on the nineteenth of April, 1893, and has been rooting for the Griffiths since they were a cellar team, and he was young enough to peep throui ii the knot holes to see them vainly try to win their way to fame. Two ambitions stand out predominatingly in his life — to see these Nationals of his win a pennant, and to win a sheep- skin for himself. Though he has been with us but the short space of tnree years, there is no doubt but that he will see the accomplishment of the latter in June. He has served as Assistant Manager in Track. 61 JAMES LAWRENCE HOWERTON. Lexington - , Virginia History has a way or repeating herself, even in in- dividuals. Slouch ' ' is a veritable chip off the old block. Philosophically speaking, his Ego was created on the sixth of March, 1895; that is to say, that on that day his rational self came into this world of thought and struggle to take up its earthly existence for a time. The place of his nativity was Little Rock, Arkansas, but very early in life he adopted Lexington as his pi; ce of abode. In 191 1, ) le became a wearer of the little blue cap and big white button. After June he will probably be a Chemist. Member Albert- Sidney Boat Club; Invitation Committee Junior Prom, 1913-14; Member Chemical Society, 1913-15; Secretary- Treasurer Chemical Societv, 1914-15; Chemistry Assist- ant, 1914-16; Managei Y. M. C. A. Handbook, ' 1914-15. GEORGE PRESTOX JACKSON, 2 X, c. c. Lynchburg, Virginia Jack is a native of t ' e Hill City. He was ushered into the mysteries of this life on September the twenty - tliird, 1S94. Since then Jack has become a de- votee at the shrine of Terpsichore, the goddess of tango and hestitation, and she has smiled on him graciously. He has served as Junior Assistant Manager Track; and has been the recipient of the Latin Scholarship, 1912-13; and the Young Scholarship, 1913-14. J. BENJAMIN JOHNSON, Jr. Manassas, Virginia Manassas, Virginia, was made famous many years ago by deeds which will ever live in the minds of its people as sacred and precious heritages. In this his- toric environment was born on the twenty-third of May, 1892, the subject of this sketch, and from the deeds of those who have gone before he must have inherited their spirit of stick-to-it-iveness. John- son is the champion cross-country runner of the Llni- versity, which right he has earned by that sane quality already referred to. He is a member of the University Cross-Country Team. In the future he will return to his native home and become an agricultural and zootechnical expert. 62 EDWARD LEYBURN JUNKIN, Kin ' sax, Korea To the American mind the fact that one is a Korean means little other than that lie is an Asiatic, and should have slanting eyes of the slit variety, and a que to hang down his bacK. In all these requisites for the ideal Korean Junk is sadly deficient, yet the fact remains that he was born in Kunsan, Korea, on August twenty-third, 1894. lie came to us from Fredericks burg College in the fall of 1014. A member of the Graham-Lee Literary Society, and the Albert-Sidney Boat Club. lie will become a minister and foreign missionary. MORGAN KEATON, ASP Copper Hill, Virginia Behind the inscrutable face of George Lee Mathias John Andrew Morgan Keaton lies the brain of a politician of the old school. Graham-Lee Literary Society, Vice-President, 1913-14; debated in Annual Celebration, 1912-13, 1913-14, 1914 15; Chairman Judi- ciary Committee, 1914, President, 1914-15; Assistant P.usiiicss Manager Ring Turn Phi. 1913-14; Business Manager Ring Turn Phi. 19i4-15; Secretary Southwest Virginia Club, 1914-15; Valedictorian Senior Class. 1915; Class Football four years. On his own confes- sion he intends to become an Attorney -at Paw. WILLiAM LA MONT, New York City Bill is a native son of old Erin, despite the fact that he was born in the city of New York on the twenty-sixth of March, 1890. The map of the Emerald Isle is inscribed all over his countenance, and it takes no second glance to note its presence either. The two patron saints of this young man are Saint Patrick and Diogenes Teufelsdroeck, the old clothes philo- sopher ; for be it known that Bill is a devotee at the shrine of the immortal Carlyle. lie was a member of the Track Team, 1913-14; ' and has played Class Basket-ball, 1913-14. Also a member of the Graham Lee Literary Society and the Editorial Start ' of the Southern Collegian. In the future he will engage in literary work — probably a mixture of college teaching and original composition along dramatic or short-story lines. 63 RUPERT NELSON LATTURE, OAK Bristol, Tennessee Lat is a Tennessean by birth, and was born up among its eastern mountains on the eighteenth of January, 1892. Class Football four years; Albert Sidney Boat Club,- Second Crew, 1912-13; First Grew, 1913-14; President Club, 1914-15; President Tennessee Club; President Graham-Lee Literary So eiety, 1913-14; Secretary-Treasurer, 1912-13; Vice President Annual Celebration, 3913-14; Debater ' s Medal Annual Celebration, 1914-15; Inter-Collegiate Debating Council, 1914-15; Monogram Club: Political Science Scholarship, 1911-12; You 1912 13; Executive Committeeman, l?.oi4; instructor ir French, 1913-15; Alumni Editor Eing Turn Phi, 1913-14: Southern Collegian Staff, 1913-14; Treasurer Y. M C. -i., 1914-15. He will become a teacher. SAMUEL HARVEY LEWIS, Alderson, West Virginia The Patriarch of the class is now before you. Sam was born in the tall timbers of the barbarous State of West Virginia, at Alderson, on the twenty-first of September, 1882. lie came to Washington and Lee in the tall of 1909, and after a checkered career of ' ' ins and outs he is at last on to graduation. In 1910-11 he was the -recipient of a Second Team Monogram in football. He has also played on the class teams for several seasons. He will probably become a Medical Missionary to China or a worker along chemical or construction lines of some kind. HAROLD LEE LYNN, A T A, White Friar Lynchburg, Virginia Our ' ' Jenny ' ' Lynn may not be quite so great a singer as the Jenny Lind of old, but there is little doubt but that he has the prima-donna beaten in a thousand other different ways. When it comes to Commerce, Politics, and Economics, Jenny is a veri- table ogre, for he has devoured every course in each of these branches, and then still unsatisfied, has taken on a variable diet of History, French, and what not. He was born in Danville, Virginia, on Noven ber the twenty-first, 1892, but moved his abode to the city of Lynchburg while he was yet a novice in this world ' s life. 64 EVAN SIDEBOTTOM McCOED, Jr., I K , White Friar, X. 13 Club, C.

This little town is not nestled up among the everlasting hills of the Blue-grass State; but even there, it doesn ' t take a second Joshua to make the moonshine both night and day; and the mint julips in th is little metropolis are as plentiful as the cobble stones in the streets. In this happy land Coche was born on the twenty-eigh of March, 1894. In the fall of 1911 he made his debut into the educational halls of Lexington. Since, then he has played Class Football four years, and held the following offices: Assistant Manager Baseball, 1914; Vice-Chairman Executive Committee Final Ball, 1914; Assistant Leader Junior Prom, 1914; Vice-President Senior Class, 1915; President Final Ball, 1915. SAMUEL EAEL OGLESBY Lynchburg, Virginia Sam was born near Lynchburg on April twenty- seventh- 1895. lie was reared on the farm, and at- tended the little red sehoolhouse on the hill, until the fall of 1911 crept around in the natural course of events. Since then he has devoted his whole time to the accomplishment of two things in particu- lar — the attainment of a degree and a place on the Harry Lee Boat Crew. In 1913 he stroked the Second Crew, and in 1914 he was promoted to the First Crew. In the n eantime he has been Treasurer of the Harry Lee Club, 1914-15; Member Class Football Team, 1913- 15; Class Basket-Bali, 1913-15.

In the fall of 1910, he found his way to Washing- ton and Lee, and enrolled as a degree-hunter. He has drunk deeply of every phase of college life, and has at last come to the cap and gown stage. In the spring of 1911, he played Class Baseball. Was Treasurer Junior Class, 1912-13. In da.ys past he has been a loyal and efficient member of the Canadian Club. 66 WALTER CREIGB PRESTON, K -V Lewisbcjrg, West Virginia One would never suspect that this quiet unassuming lad hails from the- wilds of West Virginia, but such is the rase.

With abso- lute accuracy it must be recorded that the day was the thirteenth: probably that is why he is so fortunate. He crept quietly into the University in 1912. and since then has become a member of the Graham-Lee Literary Society. 1912-13; Chemical Society, 1914-15. In 1914. he was the recipient of the Luther Seevers Birely Scholarship.

In basket-ball, the Juniors put up a brave fight for the championship, hut fell before greater odds. In diminution of numbers, the Class of 1916 suffered a heavy toll. Prom the sixty-eight valiant followers of this noble class, hut twenty-eight identified themselves for further participation in 1915. Thus, it evolved upon this scant number to take the leading roles in college activities. The session of 1914-15 saw the Athletic Association, the Poothall Team, the Baseball Team, tin- Track Team, the ' Varsity Basket-Bali Five, the Ring Turn Phi and other organizations headed by worthies of the Junior Class. In the athletic world, the Junior Class furnished the captain of the base- ball nine in Frank Colville and an able outfielder in John Harrison, while Ted Shultz and Harrison starred on the undefeated gridiron squad. Battle Bagley scintillated in substitute roles on the baseball and football teams, while J. B. Johnson smashed records on the track squad, and Lorentz White pulled on oar on the Harry Lee Four. Despite the seant numbers, the Juniors engineered one of the most pre- tentious social events of the year on February 8th in the Junior Promenade. The Prom, the very quintessence of pomp and brilliance, was one of the most hilarious events on the calendar. President M. A. Derr led the dance with Miss Marguerite Crime. Years will pass away into oblivion before the staid old village of Lexington will witness such a record as the Juniors have established for prominence and accomplishments. Historian - . Class Boll L.

The close of the class football series saw the awarding of the championship to 1917. Returning after Christmas and relieved by the Sophomores of our despicable caps in exchange for hats, we soon became so chesty thai we were content with nothing less than the championship in the Inter-Class Basket-Ball Series. The Inter-Class Track Meet we lost to 1916 by a scant margin. Returning in the fall of 1914. somewhat depleted in numbers, 1917 bid fair to continue its enviable record. Upon our shoulders was added responsibility of being old men and the guardians of tin- Freshmen. Yd not only were we able to act this part successfully but also broke our own record for a pushball score by defeating 1918 by an 89 to score. 1917 made its how to society in the Sophomore Cotillion, a function ad- mittedly one of the most brilliant ever held in the University.

MARSHALL Historian Class tstorp LTHOUGH September 16, 1914, is generally thought of as merely the date of the y Eormal opening of the one hundred and thirty-second session of Washington and Lee University, future alumni will point back to it as one of tlie most momentous days in the history of the old school. The truth of this assertion becomes obvious when one remeirbers thai on this day was born the Class of 1918! This class is one of the largest that ever entered the school, and, judging from the record of its members this year, it will be productive of men who will long be remembered at (he University. At the risk of being told that we hate ourselves, we feel safe in saying that our class was probably the best prepared one that lias ever eome here, ' this is a mite. I for by the fact that under Dr. H. L. Smith ' s new policy only the pick of the high school and prepar- atory schools gain admission to these classic halls. With this modest introduction we shall attempt to tell just what we have accomplished this session in the various college activities. At the first meeting of our class, we selected Hoy Bryant as our leader in the Push Ball Fight. Being entirely unfamiliar with this form of athletics, we were unable to check the rushes of the Sophomores during the first half. Our team had learned the game, however, by the time that the second half began, and we kept the haughty Sophs strictly on the defensive throughout this period. Although admittedly outclassed for a time, our men kept doggedly at it and furnished the crowd some very thrilling situations. For the final seore I refer the reader to my brother historian, of the Sophomore Class. We have no excuses to offer for our showing in this tight, but a glance at the ' varsity football squad will show what some of our strongest and most athletic men were doing at this time. Pierrotti. the ' varsity center and Spaulding ' s selection for the All-South Atlantic Team, is a member of 1918, Izard at end. Scarry at guard, Sweetland, right halfback, and Graham, sub-end, are other ' varsity players who belong to our class. Besides these are McKenry, Camp, Staines, Ilinkle, Ilalln an. and many others who made the football squad. Our class football team captained by W. C. Kivercomb made the following record: two scoreless ties with the Sophomores and a 32 to defeat at the hands of the heavy Green- brier Presbyterian Institute team at Lewisburg, West Virginia. The other class games were not played. In track, two of our number have won monograms — C. A. Hastings ami A. S. Johnston — while others will doubtlessly gain this coverted honor during the spring meets. We have two men also on the basket-ball squad and can safely count on three positions on the ' varsity nine being filled by Freshmen. Not only in the line of athletics have we distinguished ourselves, but in the class room as well. The dreaded automatic rule caught only four of the hundred and eighty-two men enrolled in our class. We have men who are distinguishing themselves in the literary societies, men who are doing work on the college publications, and men who are taking leading parts in social and fraternal life on the campus. As we look back over the year of 1914-15, we find that our joys have been many, the visits of the Vigilance Committee few. and we hope that we have contributed our small share in maintaining the high standard that Washington and Lee sits tor her sons.

And in the rush of traffic, The thundering sounds of the city I pause, Wondering about their loves — which are their lives. I know them by their eyes and by their glances; I know them in a way I may not name And I know those that have won and those that have lost In the eternal battle of the world, But they that have lost, have not always a sad countenance; Sometimes their lips smile, As if with an old comprehension, And one might be deceived, save for their tragic eyes — The smiling, yet unsmiling eyes above the mouth, Those eyes have read in the great Book of Love, And they are changed, they are changed forever. And those lips have kissed the pages of the book, And they, too, are changed forever. Only lips can lie — but eyes can never deceive. And those that have won — rot always do they smile, Often they seem to be secretly weeping, As if with a joy too terrible to bear — Strange, strange are the countenances of those that love. I know them all — brothers and sisters of Love; I know them, and they know me, too. I can tell by their eyes — Their eyes that follow me with knowledge, With solemn understanding. — C. H.

KELLER, Jr., Bristol, Tennessee Sam comes from Bristol, Tennessee, and wants the Tennessee especially noted, as he has a horror of being proclaimed from Bristol, Virginia. Like all scientific students, he struck for the laboratories at once and has been closely confined therein ever since his arrival. He has, therefore, found little time for college activi- ties, but has served his class as Historian last year, and as Secretary this year. Treasurer of Tennessee Club, 1912-13.

GEORGE STANLEY MORRISON, 2 i E Petersburg, Virginia Squabby is one of the rear-guard of Mike ' s adn instration, and has never become reconciled to present conditions. This is evident when one considers that in addition to struggling through Physics and Chemistry laboratories, and Engineering field-work, he has helped Doak Smithson run the affairs of this Uni- versity for four long years — summer and winter. Dur- ing the past year, he has been taking a marked acti- vity in social affairs, and has answered to the call of the fair sex on more than one occasion. He has fought for his class on the gridiron, when not occupied in fighting for a degree on the intellectual gridiron. Treasurer Senior Science Class, 1914-15. Will lie a Civil Engineer.

RIVERS DEBATE WON BY THE NEGATIVE 99 £ !« Sntercollegfate Debating URING the generation just passed, the press has become of such fundamental and all-reaching importance in moulding the public will, that interest in public speaking has somewhat declined. How- ever, we are again coming to realize that the power to convince and persuade is of more importance than ever — important, not only to the lawyer, the preacher, the politician, and the lecturer, but to the doctor, the salesman, the engineer, the business man, and in short to every one who at any time converses with his fellow men on business, political, legal, administrative or financial subjects. Due in part to a realization of this, there has been an aroused interest in debating at Washington and Lee during the last few years, although public speaking does not attract the interest and attention that it did in the time of our fathers. The installation of a chapter of the national debating fraternity. Delta Sigma Rho, to which are eligible all men who participate in an intercollegiate debate or oratorical contest, has made our debates more popular than formerly. The privilege of wearing the key of this honorary society is highly coveted by the students. The local chapter of this fraternity was installed in June, 1913. The placing of intercollegiate forensic contests in the hands of a permanant council made up of faculty and student members has given us a permanent debat- ing policy and the benefit of experienced men in making all arrangements. The financing of such contests by the University has placed them on a firm pecuniary basis; while the award of one point credit to intercollegiate debaters has given 100 them a tangible reward for their labor. Since these changes were made (in 1911 and 1912), some member of the faculty of the School of Commerce has coached the debating teams, and it is hoped that in the near future a Professor of Public Speaking will be provided who will perform this duty. Thus the outlook for debating at Washington and Lee at present is very bright. During the session 1913 : 14, debates were held with Tulane University, in New Orleans, and with Trinity College, in Durham, North Carolina. The ques- tion in each case was: Resolved. That the States should enforce a minimum wage law for women and children sufficient to maintain a fair standard of life. Washington and Lee upheld the affirmative of this question against Trinity, but the team, composed of W. L, Carson, II. E. Ulmer and A. W. .McCain, lost. Morris Masinter and E. S. Delaplaine were selected to debate the negative side of this proposition in the debate with Tulane and this team experienced little difficulty in winning. The State Oratorical Contest of 1912 was won by C. P. Heavener, of Washington and Lee. We were represented in this contest in 1913 by S. B. Dolly, and in 1914- by George Kerns, both of whom received favorable mention on the excellence of their efforts. In addition to the intercollegiate contests, the annual celebrations of the two Literary Societies have been of a very high character during the past few years. During the current session, debating contests will be held with Trinity College and with the University of Tennessee. The former will meet Washington and Lee in Lexington, some time during the month of March, the question of debate being, Resolved, That the nominating convention is preferable to the direct primary as a means of selecting candidates for public offices to be filled by popular elections (the method of nominating or electing the President or Vice-President is excluded from the discussion). Our team will argue the negative of this question. In the latter part of April, the contest with the University of Tennessee will be held in Knoxville. OBDitortal 15oarO B, A.

STRIBLING Assistant Business Manager €t)ttortal E DETERMINED this year aol to publish the usual sob story of student indifference and the many other editorial and managerial difficulties which confront the Calyx Board each year, but we can- not retrain From expressing a few ideas thai our experience of this session has left with us. In the first place it seems to us that, as run heretofore. the Calyx is too much of a two-man proposition. Of course the various mem- bers of our staff have rendered us timely and invaluable assistance and had it not been for their help, we could not have produced the hook; hut all of the responsibility, financial and otherwise, is on the shoulders of the Editor-in-chief and Business Manager. There are a thousand little details that these two men have to attend to and at the same time keep constantly behind the other mem- bers of the staff to see that they are fulfilling their several duties. They have to stand all the censure and criticism of the other members of the student-body, while theirs is the loss if the hook he a financial failure. Now at other schools whose year books are as expensive and elaborate in detail as ours, other means are used in the production of the Annual. For instance, at the University of Virginia the fraternities combine and produce the book. At the larger northern universities some class, generally the Juniors, have to get out their annual publication. Though neither of these plans may be feasible or practicable here, there must be some other way of arranging the college publications than the plan which has thus far been used in the production of the Calyx. We have met so many disadvantages in the present system that we would heartily endorse any change which may be made in handling this book in the future. i anDicappcO There are those who walk thru the way of life Like Pilgrims who journey alone; Pressing on to an unseen goal, Impelled by a force unknown; Their hearts are filled with a longing, Yet they know not for what they long, They continue to push ever onward With a faith that keeps them strong. As they travel along life ' s highway Weary and lonely and sad, They see all about them the joy of others — The joy of the good and the bad — And they wonder why they are lonely, Shut out from their fellow men; Why they are not like others, What the}- are lacking in. They are those who were born in sorrow. Inheriting a hidden grief, And so struggle under a burden From which there is no relief. They strive with a restless longing Which is close akin to dread, Ever hoping to find contentment In the way that lies ahead. Musical Clubs MISS EUTHA YOUNG, Directress R. K. Robertson J. H.

Martin, Faculty Advisor 2ln Appreciation o HOSE of us who have at any time attempted t do some work for the University while students here, cannot fail to notice and appreciate the work of others. This is especially true when we see one who, though not in any way connected directly with the college, gives willing, cheerful, and unselfish service to the promotion of campus enterprises. Such a service as this has been very noticeable this session in the work of Miss Eutha Young in direct- ing our musical organizations. When interest in this phase of college activity seemed almost a thing of the past, she took charge of our Glee Club and Orchestra, and under her able coaching, in a very short period of time, welded them into an organization which is a credit to our institution, and is thought by many to be the best ever produced here. Miss Young entered so heartily into her work, and fulfilled her duties so well, that she had little difficulty in getting a large number of men to try oiit for the various musical clubs. While the success of these clubs financially is due to the efficient management of Mr. Davis, to her more than all the rest is due the credit for the excellent performances which have been given in Lexington and elsewhere. Following the example of her famous brother, who has achieved so much ou the athletic field, she has given unsparingly of her time and attention, and the Student Body of 1914-15 owes her a lasting debt of gratitude.

ELCOCK, better known to the students of Washington and Lee as Jog- ger, has frequently been referred to by many newspaper critics as the Haughton of the South, ' ' and this title is gracefully worn by the coach of Washington and Lee ' s Southern Championship team, as his successes are parallel to those of the great strategist of Harvard ' s championship eleven. Coach Elcock, in the development of this year ' s football machine, combined the tactical points of Haughton with the driving methods of Frank Cavanaugh, Dartmouth ' s famous coach, under whom Jogger has served both as player and as assistant coach. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to serve under Elcock as a member of the squad, or have closely watched his methods of training and developing the football team of 1914, can realize the superior advantages of his dual methods of planning offensive and defensive operations. He is both the strategist, devising plays which are well-nigh im- possible to be easily diagnosed by the opposing team, and the fighter, a genius of the gridiron in making his men work for him and conditioning them carefully for the season ' s campaign. Gifted with a wonderful personality and a straight-from-the-shoulder ad- dress, conscientious, honest, and absolutely impartial, he came here an absolute stranger and soon won the confidence, friendship, and determined support of every man on the football squad. It might also be said in passing that these feelings toward the coach were reflected throughout the entire student-body. Jogger is moreover what is known to followers of football, as a great destructive coach. His uncanny ability to pick the weak spots in an opponent ' s offense and defense is almost unbelievable. His assistants had but to bring back from their scouting trips a plan of the plays and de- fensive tactics used by the opposing teams — Jogger would do the rest. At no time was he baffled by the array 132 of plays put up by opposing teams, bu1 was able a1 all times to work ou1 some sure method by which his team might pierce the enemy ' s line or check their onrush. Il has Keen stated by do less an authority than the greal Waller Camp thai the failure of most coaches is due In lack of ability to tear a play apart, for the purpose of find- ing ils weak spots, and their inability to devise plays which take advantage of the weakness of their opponents. Coach Elcock is a product of New England, his home being in Dorchester, .Massachusetts. His football achievements have been manifold, beginning at the Boston Latin School, where his work earned for him 1 he distinction of being the besl schoolboy tackle developed during his time. Entering Dartmouth College, he continued his foot- hall successes and was speedily placed among the front rank of college players. Reputed as a fighter and a vicious tackier, his superiority over all his rivals gained for him almost unanimous choice on the All-American elevens of the hading critics. His successes as a coach have been a matter of history to every Washing- ton and Lee man. lie turned out, from a green bunch of material, the best Freshman team ever seen at Dartmouth; the next year found him assisting Frank Cavanaugh. head coach at Dartmouth, and we all know of his successes at Washington and Lee. where, with the able assistance of Bill Raftery, he turned out the greatest team in the history of the institution. The success of our next season is assured, for Jogger will be on hand. Such is the confidence we have in Walter B. Elcock. His name is cherished by us all. and to know him is to know a gentleman of the highest calibre, a Leader, and a born fighter. Here ' s to you. Coach Elcock. and your 1915 Champions. D iaeaume of jfootbali £ ea£on, 1914 j]HE year 1914 in the athletic annals of Washington and Lee, will ever mark the achievement of the most coveted of football honors in the South, namely, a clear and undisputable title to the South Atlantic Championship. The claims of the University of Virginia, the only other aspirant to the title, have not been given serious consideration by the critics of this section. The past season was pre-eminently the most successful in the foot- ball history of the University. Nine times did the doughty Generals give battle to worthy opponents on the gridiron, and nine times did the White and Blue wave triumphant and unsullied. The mighty total of 313 points was registered by the rapid scoring machine of the Generals, while two lone touchdowns, a total of twelve points, were the sole impression of nine opponents on the Lexing- tonians ' record. Only four elevens in the country exceeded Washington and Lee ' s total score, while no team had so few points scored against it. The triumphant season was opened with a 34 to victory over Marshall College in a game characterized by straight football. Donahue, Young, Simms, and Gallagher were the bright stars of this game. In the second game the Generals showed a great improvement in form, crushing Morris-Harvey College with the top-heavy score of 103 to 0. The principal scorers were Donahue, Smith, Gallagher, and Young. Roanoke College put up a hard fighting game, but were humbled by the score of 58 to 0, Seeley, Donahue, Gallagher, and Pierotti starring for the Generals. Next came the first big game of the season in which the Generals downed the hefty Georgetown eleven in a fierce encounter in Richmond. The Hilltoppers outweighed the Generals by ten pounds to the man, and assumed the offensive 134 in the first quarter, rushing the local eleven by weight alone, but after the first few nerve-racking moments the White and Blue came back strong and for the remainder of the game, Georgetown was clearly outplayed. The first score came in the first quarter, when Buck Sweetland recovered a fumble and raced thirty yards for a touchdown. In the last quarter, Young ran sixty-nine yards from a punt formation for the second touchdown. The final score was K3 to 0. Sweetland, Young, and Donahue were the best ground gainers for the Generals, while Schultz, Wiles, Simms, and Harrison starred in the line. On the following Saturday the snappy Wake Forest eleven was met and humbled to the tune of T ' 2 to 0. The team scored at will, also showing the best form displayed during the season. However, this game proved disastrous from the standpoint of injuries received. Handicappd by the loss of Captain Donahue and several other valuable players on the hospital list, the Generals showed a complete reversal of form, and barely nosed out a 7 to 6 over the strong eleven of Virginia Polytechnic Institute. On the following Saturday in Lynchburg, the Swart hmore team was played and decisivel y defeated by the score of 10 to in a tierce battle. The Generals played practically the whole game with a substitute baekfield. The lone touchdown was scored by Graham in the first quarter, and Captain Dona- hue added three points by a drop-kick from the forty-yard line, in the ' final period. The next team to be vanquished was that of the University of West Virginia in Charleston, the score being S to 6. This score does not give the true story of the game, for the Generals outbattled their opponents at every stage of the game. The season closed with a 7 to decision over North Carolina A. and M. in Norfolk on Thanksgiving Day. After the first three minutes of play, when A. and M. made a long gain, the Generals clearly outplayed their opponents in every department. The single touchdown of the game came in the second quarter on a forward pass from Donahue to Seeley who ran twelve yards for the goal line. The whole team played stellar ball and Captain Donahue, Buck Miles, and B Beuhring closed their gridiron careers in a blaze of glory. Hats off to Coach Elcock, Captain Donahue and the team, not even ex- cepting Manager Sam Laughlin, who did so much to make the season a success.

DONAHUE This little package of concentrated energy anil pep has proved himself, in every sense of the word, a General. His self- sacrifice and devotion in directing the fortunes of the Wl± foot- ball machine, has endeared him to every follower of the White and Blue, and his service has won him widespread popularity. His eonsistent work at advancing the ball and fighting back the ad- vance of the opposing teams, was at all times in evidence. E. B. SIIULTZ Displaying a remarkably) strong- and steady game at tackle, Shultz has virtually starred in every game of the season. His wonderful ability at catching passes, diagnosing plays and smear- ing the opponents behind the line of scrimmage made him the unanimous choice for All-South Atlantic Tackle and won for him an All-American position. As a fitting climax to his career, he will captain the 1915 Generals. R. M. MILES For three years past the main-stay of the Genera] line. Buck ' ' returned in September to complete his football career. He entered the game with his old-time spirit, his eonsistent passing and ferocious tackling, featuring in every game. His superb defensive play in the A. M. game alone is enough to assure him a place in Washington and Lee ' s Athletic Hall of Fame. 1:17 H. K. YOUNG Cy, the speed-merchant of the 1914 machine, continued his course as a versatile and spectacular player, being the most dependable ground-gainer in Elcock ' s line-up. His long spirals, reliable goal kicking and sensational broken field work gained for him the unanimous choice of All-South Atlantic half. For the second season he led the Generals in scoring. B, L. BEUHBING Playing his last year for Washington and Lee, Beuhring showed all of his pent-up powers and the epithet Cannon Ball was never more appropriate than during the past season. His irresistible line plunging was largely responsible for the winning record of the season. His gyrating line bucks were the sensation of the West Virginia gan e, and his defense against A. and M. was spectacular. F. M. DINGWALL The object of this sketch has been described as a mighty Teuton. ' ' He emphatically denies the fact that he is a Teuton, while we as emphatically emphasize the fact that he is mighty. He showed marked improvement in his playing this year, and when his Scotch blood was up, there was nothing capable of stopping him. He made a deep impression on the hostile line whenever he went into action. 138 B. D. BRYAN This lengthy Texan, combining speed and ability with a will ing spirit, was a mighty factor in tlu strength of the Genera) line. When the S. O. S. signal was sent out, Bryan always responded and met all the requirements of the emergency. Alter nating at right guard, lb-van will probably be a regular next year. M. S. BARROW Handicapped by injuries, Harrow was able to enter but few of the melees but while playing he was steady and reliable in his passing, giving a ball easy to handle, and was also absolutely dependable for his share of the line work, on attack or defense. He fully lived up to the reputation acquired in previous seasons. A. F. PIEROTTI Count Pierotti, hailing from the city of Pork and Beans, has proven himself the best all round linesman that Washington and Lee has ever seen. His snap-back never went amiss and his ability to speedily diagnose the opponent ' s play enabled him to make himself very evident in every stage of the game. He featured against A. and M., intercepting three forward passes for material yains. J-i ft H 1 ■ 3 ■ . ' !■ ' ' • i;i;i W. K. SEELEY This diminutive end, coupling lightning speed with indefatiga- ble energy, holds the distinctive honor of having scored the touch- down that beat A. and M. He is a good receiver of passes and quick and accurate in diagnosing plays. He is wonderfully fast down the field, a clever tackier and in almost every instance managed to thread his way through the interference. J. L. HARRISON Playing his first year on the ' Varsity, John has already re- moved any doubt as to his merit. He is a good runner with the bail, a sharp tackier and has weight enough to make him ef- fective in line-blocking and in meeting interference. It is a source of satisfaction to know that he will return next year. 5 w ■ r- ji iff ' . ' _- ' _k F |f . ■ W. H. SMITH Whenever the ball was to be sent hastily to the other end of the field, Smith was called in and his efforts with his toe always meant a twisting, soaring, spiral for fifty or sixty yards. As an offensive halfback, he proved his worth in the Morris-Harvey and Wake Forest games. J. C. GALLAGHER Having viewed tlie Generals in action from his window in the V. M. I. Barracks, John was possessed with a longing to east his lot with them. His ambition was rewarded when on Septem- ber -Mli lie trade the first touchdown which was tin ' beginning of a victorious season, lie proved a reliable and consistent half back am] shows great promise for the future. m - • I. R. SIMMS Elcock ' s dynamite ki.l ' ' was one of the most indefatigable workers on the squad. Receiving injuries in one of the minor games he played under a disadvantage for the remainder of the season. In the West Virginia game his ferocious tackling and acc urate receiving of passes drew much attention. F. S. SWEETLAXD As a versatile player. ' ' Buck ' ' has male an enviable reputa- tion. His natural position is fullback, but. when shifted to half, he clearly demonstrated that his ability is not limited to one position. A close follower of the ball, he gathered in many fumbles which resulted in substantial gains and his off-tackle runs were the admiration of all gridiron fans. 1 II Q h Wl- r« l I ' srtl 1 ( £ « Bv ■•■1 F. B. SCARRY When the halfbacks began to look for an opening it was nearly always found in the vicinity of Scarry, and when the opposing halfbacks looked for an opening the farther from Scarry, the better. His playing throughout the season continued to improve, being especially notable in the Georgetown and A. and M. games. This is his first year at Washington and Lee and he bids fair to develop into one of the greatest guards ever seen here. J. J. IZARD Held in reserve until the psychological moment Jim was injected into the A. and M. gan e to show the Farmer ' ends a few of the finer points in boxing and spilling the interference. He is playing his first year as a General, having come to us from V. M. I. S. 0. LAUGHLIN A look at the reports for the 1914 season will convince any- one that Sam was an unusual manager. He conscientiously gave to the work before him the best that he had and with one eye on the welfare of his team and the other on the financial end of the bargain, he kept pace with the team in ending with a perfect rec- ord and a surplus before unheard of. Hail to the greatest football manager that Washington and Lee has ever had. 142 Captain Buck Miles BASKET=BALL MSKETMLL IResume of Basketball Season ARDLY successful in con parison with past season, the basket-ball record of 1915 is best described as erratic. Seemingly insurmountable handicaps con- fronted the coaches at the beginning of the season. Of last year ' s formidable team, only Captain Miles at center, and Cy Young at guard were in college, and only two of the scrubs, forwards Seeley and Zaiss, were available. With these four players as a nucleus, the season opened, a few days after the beginning of the new year, with an encounter with the strong George Washington quint, resulting in the General ' s first defeat on the home court in three seasons. The score was 22 to 16. After this game, Pierotti appeared regularly in the other guard position, although Dingwall was used in his stead on several occasions. With a week of practice following the first game, the Generals presented a more formidable front to West Virginia Weslevan, but met defeat for the second time in a hotly contested battle, with a score of 34 to 31. After this discouraging opening on the local court, the team journeyed to Lynchburg to meet the strong Georgetown five on neutral ground. To the surprise of every one, the White and Blue quint suddenly came into its own, vanquishing the llilltoppers by a score of 32 to 23. It seemed that Washington and Lee had at last hit its stride, for in the next game, Trinity bowed in defeat, 33 to 22. The flagging spirits of the local fans revived at the marked improvement of the team, and about three or four hundred of them followed the basketers to Lynchburg for the annual encounter with the University of Virginia. Against one of the strongest teams in the South and handicapped by strict interpretation of the rules, which deprived the Generals of the use of two star players, Young and Seeley, early in the game, bitter defeat by the score of 28 to 13 was the lot of the Washington and Lee. This was Virginia ' s first victory over the White and Blue in four years. How- ever, this defeat did not daunt the Generals, for the strong Loyola five was overwhelmed by the score of 42 to 22, in a game characterized by excellent passing and shooting. Then North Carolina A. and M. was forced to yield, and the season closed on the local court with a victory over the University of North Carolina to the tune of 29 to 22. As the Calyx goes to press, the team is starting on its northern trip, on which they play the Navy, Lehigh, Swarthmore, Rutgers, N. Y. U. the Army and other strong teams. Basket-Ball M. R.

Young Guard A. L. Pierotti Guard Substitutes F. M. Dingwall W. R. Burton C. P. Heavener F. M. Bailey J. B. VaDS VORTH J. L. Harrisox M. R. MILES The ' ' auburn-crested giant ' ' (a title popularly ap- plied in the Ring-Turn Phi), was the mainstay of the basket-ball team, and his sensational shots from the middle of the floor were features of every game. It is safe to say that old Washington and Lee never saw his equal on the home floor, and we are sure that such a person, if he exists, was never encountered by Buck on any of his numerous invasions into foreign territory. His absence next year will be keenly felt. II. K. YOUNG Combining with his defensive power an aggressive and telling offense, Cy was the star in most of the games last season, and his speed and accurate shoot- ing delighted the spectators, and dismayed the visit- ing teams. He was all over the floor at once, so it seemed, and could be always counted upon to lift the varsity out of a tight situation. W. K. SEELEY Ken ' s basket-ball pla.ying is characterized by the same grit and determination which earned him a place on the victorious eleven of last fall, and he  s one of the best forwards ever seen here. In spite of his heavy work in the law school, he sacrifled time and all other considerations for the good of the team, and was at all tin. es a hard, clean fighter and a most valuable man to the team. 146 Li. C. ZAISS After ;i vein ' s service on the scrubs, Zuiss burst into varsity circles this your, and has proved himself a worthy successor to his valiant predecessors. He was a consistent shot at the basket and his floor-work was of a high order. Although the smallest man on tin team, he has been known to wrest the ball from tin clutches of opponents twice his size, and liis game- ness has been conspicious in every contest. A. L. PIEEOTTI The qualities which featured Al ' s work on the gridiron, he carried with him onto the basket-ball court, and was the terror of opposing forwards. Be sides preventing his adversaries from ringing in bas- kets, he was a valuable asset when it came to adding to the score of the Washington and Lee quint, and when once he started up the floor — two points! R. W. POWLKES Manager ' ' Dick ' ' deserves the credit for arranging the best northern trip ever taken by ■■ basket-ball team, and also an excellent schedule for the home court. A feature introduced under his regime whii h has proven popular with the student body is the providing of numerous free seats on the leeward side of the lourt. Altogether his nianageemnt of the season has been a decided success. 147 I ' AITAIN JlGGS DONAHUE BASEBALL HHHHHiHiKHHHM BASEBALL IResume Baseball Season, 1914 ALTHOUGH the first call for candidates in the spring brought forth only five former players, Captain Donahue, pitcher Lile, third baseman Colville, shortstop Terry, and second baseman Lancaster, there was no lack of promising material, and from it Coach Dan Mahoney was able to select one of the greatest nines that ever battled for the White and Blue. A team that only lost three of fourteen collegiate games, administered three shut- outs, and presented an array of stellar batsmen scarcely equalled in the athletic history of the University, six of whom hit consistently .300 and over. There was less anxiety over the twirlers than usual, and it was compara- tively easy to select the adjuncts to the veteran battery, Lile and Donahue, the latter having been designated by Umpire Al Orth of the National League as the best college backstop that he had seen. Outfielder Cy Young and third base- man Noisy Colville proved the greatest individual stars of the season, the former leading the hitters with an average of .362, the latter coming third with .309, while they tied in the matter of stolen bases. Captain Donahue achieved an average of .308 with his trusty stick. Due to a shake-up in the management, the schedule was arranged so late that the nine was forced to appear on the home field during the entire season. The season opened with a victory for the Generals. The first victim of the Generals ' prowess was Lafayette, which was a fast aggregation, although lacking in stick work. They lost two from a three-game series by the successive scores of 4 to 0, 8 to 4, and 5 to 7. Vermont was next to fall, the mighty Lile twirling a 2 to 1 victory over a veteran slabsman, Malcolm, who in 1912 had handed the Generals a scoreless and hitless defeat. The old rivals, V. P. I., 150 experienced a similar fate in a quiet 15 to encounter; while Lehi{ two more easy triumphs. 4 to 0, and 11 to 4 in succession. A clean made of the Pennsylvania teams when Pennsylvania State was dow] following day, 1(1 to 2. A surprising reversal was experienced, when, after a 5 to 1 v St. Johns, the North Carolina Aggies won a hard-foughl battle by 1 (i to 4. This was followed by a second defeat at the hands of Guilfi by the score of 3 to 1. The clouds cleared away, however, and the se; with final triumph, in a 10 to 7 and 6 to 1 clash with Trinity. This last affair marked the exit of three Generals from the i mond. Charlie Lile, William Lancaster, and Edward A.

Bagley 152 Cai tain • ■ Buck ' ' Mii.es TRACK jforrest jfletcber WASHINGTON AND LEE was extremely fortunate when the name of Forrest Fletcher was added to the list of the University ' s athletic mentors. Being, himself, an athlete of national reputation, he possesses the happy faculty of being able to instill into others the art and sciencs of sport, which he has acquired by wide experience. Forrest Fletcher is a graduate of Notre Dame Uni- versity, and as a member of the track team of that well- known institution, was recognized as one of the leading college athletes of the country. He was also a member of the Olympic team which represented the United States at Stockholm in 1912, and possesses medals won by breaking records in these games. Fletcher ' s specialties have been the sprints, hurdles and jumps, and he holds the world ' s rec- ords in the forty-yard high hurdles, in the forty-yard low hurdles, and in the sixty-yard low- hurdles, as well as the A. A. U. record in the fifty-yard low hurdles, besides numerous Conference and Notre Dame records. While at Notre Dame, he starred in basket-ball as well as in track, and won many honors in other branches of college activities. He graduated with the degree of Electrical Engineer in 1912, but the call of the cinder path was so strong that he has devoted his time to this branch of sport. Previous to coming to Washington and Lee, he was athletic director in Western colleges. Besides being an athlete of wonderful ability, Fletcher is also a man of highest integrity and character and of strong personality. His success as a de- veloper of track athletes was amply demonstrated by Washington and Lee ' s sweeping victory over the University of Virginia in the South Atlantic Cross- country Run last fall, and in the wonderful showing made in the George Wash- ington and other meets, Washington and Lee winning the first of these indoor meets by a lead of seventeen points over the nearest rival. TRACK IRcsumc of Season OLLOWING the sweeping victory of Washington and Lee in the South- Atlantic Cross-Country Run, ensued ;i period of careful and persistent training for the indoor track by a squad of over forty candidates, under the tutelage of Coach Fletcher, and in the first meet of the year, the George Washington University Games held in Washington on February the thirteenth, the Generals carried off the point trophy. They scored a total of twenty-eighl points, competing against a field of three hundred athletes, representing George- town. Johns Hopkins. Virginia, and a score of other institutions. R. M. Curtis was the star of this meet, winning both the novice and open fifty-yard dash events. Ted Schultz won the high jump and landed second place in the shot-put. while Hallman, a freshman, wen the open pole vault, and tied for first place in the South-Atlantic event. Kerr was third in the shot-put. Hard luck, in the guise of a had spill by Shulz. the Generals ' anchor man. lost the two-mile match relay againsl George Washington University. Only a small representation was sent to Baltimore for the Hopkins Fifth Regiment Games, hut six points were scored. Hopkins won the meet with sixteen points. Hallman ' s vaulting was one of the features of the meet as lie established a new record with a vault of eleven feet, three and three-quarters inches, defeating a Pennsylvania man. who was Intercollegiate Champion.

This feature was inaugurated in 1913. through the untiring efforts of Dr. J. W. H. Pollard, and is the only prep school meet in the South, which embraces more than State-wide magnitude. Twenty schools from Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia. Maryland, District of Columbia, and New York competed in the first meet, which was won by Brooklyn Poly. Prep of Brooklyn, X. Y.. with Castle Heights School, of Tennessee, in second place. Last year twenty-five schools from eleven States were represented by over a hundred youthful athletes. Some idea of the extent from which entries were drawn may be conveyed by glancing at the list of States represented. They are Virginia, New York, Maryland. District of Columbia. North Carolina, Ala- bama. Tennessee, West Virginia, Michigan, and Wisconsin. The Keewatin School of Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, carried off the championship plaque with a score of 30 points. Brooklyn Poly. Prep ranked second with 16 points, while Knoxville. Tennessee. High School, pressed them closely with a total of 13 points. Individual honors of the day fell to Goelitz, of Keewatin School, who won five first places and one second place, totalling 28 points. Spence of Brooklyn Poly. Prep garnered ll 1 ! ' - while Jones, of Birmingham. Alabama, High School, and Tillotson of Detroit Central High were credited with ten points each. In addition to the regular track and field events three special relay races are incorporated in the meet. One is limited to Rockbridge County Schools, another to Military Schools, while the third is free for all. This last is the most important race of the three, and has been won for two years by Asheville School, of Asheville, North Carolina. The outlook for the success of this meet is brighter this year than ever before, and a larger and wider range of schools promises to be entered. This feature of college life is growing yearly in importance, both to the university and to the schools represented, and this coming spring will probably see some high records broken.

Shore Boat IRace, 1914 S SPECTACULAR in extreme, the thirty-seventh annual race between the Harry Lee and Albert-Sidney boat clubs went to the Albert-Sidneys for :S £§ the seventeenth time in the history of crew racing at Washington and Lee. Although evenly matched in weight, the Blues had the advantage of veteran experience. Despite this fact, however, the Reds crossed the line only a quarter of a boat length behind their opponents. Shortly after six in the afternoon, the starter ' s gun sent eight oars whipping into the waters of old North River. At first the Harry Lee crew gained a slight lead which they were able to maintain to the first bend in the river. Here, however, a spurt on the part of the Blue crew sent them into the fore, an advantage which they increased by two boat lengths before reaching the big bend in the middle of the course. At this point the Blue advance slackened, and as the two shells swept into the stretch to the boathouse, the Reds began to decrease their opponents ' lead. Exhausted by their long sprint, the Blues were unable to maintain their advantage, and slowly, inch by inch, the Harry Lees crept upon them. A boat length ahead of the other crew, and only a short dis- tance from the finish, a Blue oarsman missed stroke entirely and the Red shell shot up almost abreast. But the goal was near and a few strokes sent the Albert- Sidneys cross to victory, only a scant quarter length in the lead. GYMNASIUM II K first sighl thai will greet the eyes of the old and new students as I they back into Lexington next September, on the Chesapeake and Ohio Limited, will be the new Doremus Gymnasium, which is now in process of construction. A modern, well-equipped gymnasium, such as will occupy the hill in front of Lee ' s Dormitory, has for years been the dream of the ever-changing student body of Washington and Lee and of the University authorities. Every year found the dream yet to be realized. Freshmen entered Washington and Lee with the.vision of a new gymnasium dangling before their eyes, and left a.s Seniors with the vision still dangling. When the historic old gym behind Tucker Hall, which had seen so many years of valiant service, was suddenly burned to the ground one night, a student who had arrived in time to rescue a cake of Ivory Soap stood in the ruin and wreckage and grimly muttered, I am glad the old shack is gone, I reckon we ' ll get our new gym now! Un- wittingly spoken, his words, were, however, prophetic, and though there are but few of us left in college who had the pleasure of disporting ourselves in, the Will 0 ' The Wisp building of days gone by, yet if those few return to college nest year they will see the gymnasium of their dreams translated into a reality far beyond their fondest hopes and expectations. It is to Mrs. Robert Parker Doremus that we owe thanks, which cannot be expressed in words, for making possible the realization of a long-cherished desire. While on a visit to the University in May of last year. Mrs. Doremus announced that she would give the funds necessary for the erection of a gym- nasium such a.s was planned by the school authorities, the gymnasium to be a memorial to her late husband, Robert Parker Doremus, who had shown his great interest in the University by bequeathing to it his entire fortune. .Mrs. Doremus ' announcement was the event of the year. It filled the heart of every Washington 165 The Doremus Gtmxasium and Lee man with joy. The dream gym was no more. We were at last to have cue of brick, mortar, and stone — one built on a foundation of fact. The plans of the new gymnasium call for one of the most complete and well equipped structures of its kind in the country. Not a single detail that makes for comfort, convenience, and completeness, has teen overlooked. As outlined in the Summer Bulletin, the new gymnasium will be located on the crest of the hill just west of the Carnegie Library and at right-angles to Lee ' s Dormitory. It will have a frontage of 218 feet, and the architecture will be along colonial lines, to conform with the older buildings on the campus. The plans specify a main building 130 by 65 feet, to be flanked by wings, each 80 by 40 feet. The building will be two stories high and will have a basement run- ning full length underneath it. The basement will be occupied by lockers, shower baths, lavatories, two large rooms to be used by the boat crews for train- ing purposes, a private locker and dressing room for the exclusive use of members of the faculty, and a room for the use of visiting basket-ball, trade, and gymnasium teams. That section of the basement directly under the north wing will contain a sterilizing room, where all gym suits, team uniforms, mat cover- ings, towels, etc. may be sterilized by exposure to live steam ; a laundry which will furnish service quickly and cheaply; a janitor ' s workshop and storeroom, a wrestling room and fencing room. The most attractive feature of the entire gymnasium will be situated in the south wing of the basement. This feature is the swimming pool, 70 feet long, 25 feet wide, and with a depth ranging from four and one-half to eight feet of water. The pool, the area-way surrounding it and the room itself, will be lined 166 and wainscoted with ceramic tile in the Washington and Lee colors. This has been made possible by the generosity of Mr. S. 0. Laughlin, of Wheeling, W. Va., who is widely known as a staunch friend and supporter of the University. This pool should be a source of much enjoyment to the students, and since, in a recent utterance. President Smith has announced that swimming will be made c - pulsory, we may expect to see quite a number of aquatic experts going out into the cruel world to battle against the high seas of life. The main exercise hall will have a Moor-space of 7.4. 0 square feet, and will be thoroughly equipped with the latest and most approved gymnasium ap- paratus. The Hour is so spacious that it will permit of two regulation basket-ball courts, and its length is such that by taking advantage of the corridors at either end. a full fifty-yard dash can be run upon it. The hall will be Hooded with light, pouring in from the numerous windows distributed along its two sides, near the top of the inside walls. A running exercise from the roof trusses, will completely encircle the main exercise hall at the same level as the second 3tor3 of the wings. This track will also serve as a gallery for spectators at basket-ball games, gymnasium contests, and all other public functions held therein. It alone, will have a seating capacity of about 750 people. The second-floor of the south wing will have three regulation size squash tennis courts, and two hand-ball courts, all lighted from above by skylights. The first floor of the north wing will be given over to the offices and private rooms of the physical director and his assistants, and to a combination trophy and athletic meeting room. The second floor of the north wing will contain a large retiring room for use at dances and other public functions, and also, living quarters for the janitor. The contractors expect to have the building ready for use by the opening of the next school session and those who have the good fortune to return to Washington and Lee or to eider in next September, will enjoy privileges and opportunities never within the gra.sp of students of former days, and such as surpass any others to be found in the South.

The class of 1902, in their sophomore year, inflated I with a sophomoric self-conscious pride, committed into the hands of old George Washington, on the cupola of the .Main Building, the sacrsd banner of the class. This was as a red rat; ' flung to the bull, so Ear as the freshmen were concerned. They took this as a challenge and a bloody Eight occurred mi the roof-tops of the Main Building, where the defending sophomores and attacking freshmen met in combat, which proved dangerous 1 life and limb. .Next came the era of the street fight, which was almost as dangerous, although less s| tacular. This continued until the fall of 1904, when the Bowl Hush was intro- duced. The fights mi the roof-tops continued until about 1905, and the street fights until 1910, but the nature of the class fight has gradually developed into an athletic contest held en Wilson Field, every fall. The Bowl Fight, mentioned above, proved unsatisfactory. It was held on the campus, directly in front of the Main Building, and the loss of clothing was enormous. On the following year, the scene of combat was removed to Wilson Field, and a Large leather hall about three feet in diameter was put into use. These first attempts at an organized class fight proved detrimental to the health of the contestants — broken limbs, sprained backs, and fractured skulls being necessary results. In the fall of 1907 the Push-Bail first made its ap- pearance on the campus, and for the past eight years, the freshmen and sopho- mores have fought over the ! ig six-foot pill in greater safety to the human life. Varying fortunes have attended these contests, the victory lying one year with sophomores, the next with freshmen, but altogether, this means of working off the usual class steam has showed itself to be entertaining and satisfactory. Ihiter jfraterntt Baseball Prior to the year 1910-11, those inclined to Baseball, who could not secure a berth on the vars- ity team, worked off their surplus energy in trying out for the class te ams. The number of class teams was, however, limited, and the competition was so extensive that some other outlet had to be provided. An idea conceived in a conference between Robert G. Thach, ' 11, and our own Eddie Parks Davis, resulted in the formation of an Interfrater- nity Baseball League, composed of the fourteen general fraternities represented at Washington and Lee. Teams from these fraternities were to com- pete for a cup, which, if won for two successive years by any oue fraternity, should pass into the ownership of that fraternity. Up to date, no fraternity has secured more than a passing hold upon the cup, it having been held for one year successively by Sigma Chi, Kappa Sigma, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Alpha Tau Omega. The Interf ' raternity Council has lately taken over the administration of the affairs of the league, and have placed it upon a permanent basis. It is indeed a treat to sit out in the bleachers on a warm spring after- noon, and watch the gyrations of the amateurish aspirants for the coveted cup. No less worthy of attention are the uniforms displayed, or we might well say, the lack of uniforms, as the garb of these players ranges from bathing suits, up through khaki outfits, to football apparel. Feats of baseball are to be seen, which would put to shame the Giants, Braves, Athletics, or any other big league aggregation. This league has also developed several varsity stars, for instance, Jonah Larriek, varsity twirler in 1913, and others equally worthy of note. The first season was fittingly ended with a prodigious soiree on the Gym- nasium Hill, and for three happy hours, the College Greeks were literally en- gulfed in an ocean of beer. Under the glare of the gas jets, speeches and songs enlivened the occasion, which was one long to be remembered. Indeed, this event so far overshadowed the games which preceded it, that it was discontinued in the following years, for the good of the league. TLbc 1Fnter=jfraternit Council of Mashtnoton anb Xec UT of a feeling of unrest and dissatisfaction with conditions .-is they then were, came the Enter-Fraternity Council. For a Dumber of years the fraternities realized that matters needed remedying, hut no chapter felt strong enough to act independently. Finally, three years ago, a Washington and Lee alumnus was approached by two fraternities with the requesl that he attempt to bring about a federation of chapters and a consequent better under- standing among these chapters. lie selected from each four frat- ernities represented at Washington and Lee, one cool-headed man, and invited these men to meet with, him for a discussion of the proposed plan. That first meeting was most interesting. Every man seemed to feci in duty bound to discuss, not those things which would he besl for the fraternity situation at Washington and Lee. hut rather, what effect any proposal would have on his particular, chapter. It early realized that no step was advisable, which could not command the cordial and unqualified approval of every single chapter that would enter the agreement. Even thus early it was the firm belief of the Council that any course which would improve fraternities in general would be of benefit to each individual chapter. And it was further actuated by a sincere desire to contribute its part, so, far as it could, to improving the tone of the institution and engendering a better feeling among the fraternities. The first problem was to merge the varied interests of the fraternities into some agreement, however inadequate that agreement might at first appear. Therefore, such practical matters as period of rushing, admission to chapter bouses, and other such matters, had to be waived for the time being and only the two questions of initiation and treatment of pledges were considered. After much frank, and at the same time thoroughly cordial consideration at repeated meetings, and after repeated reference of questions under discussion to the chapters, an agreement was finally arrived at and signed by a duly ac- credited representative from each chapter. In each annual issue of the Y. M. C. A. Handbook since this time, this agreement has appeared. It is thus open to the widest publicity among all concerned. The results of this union have been many and varied, but among the most gratifying may be mentioned the following: it has improved scholarship both among pledges and initiates: has fostered a better understanding and more 171 kindly feeling among the fraternities ; has increased the sense of responsibility of fraternities to the Alma Mater; has encouraged more democracy of feeling, and has secured a mutual confidence which permits us to discuss, with the utmost frankness, any matters which concern either the present situation or the future of the fraternities at Washington and Lee. It is most gratifying to be able to record that not a single violation or evasion of the agreement has ever occurred, nor has any infraction of its by-laws marred its existence. No clearer proof of the spirit in which it was entered into could be advanced. Has the Council reached the maximum of its usefulness? We sincerely believe not. Rather do we believe that it has just begun to exercise its influence. Many present problems press for solution by it and time will bring many more. Its policy is to go slowly but surely and unitedly, and to do all in its power to promote the highest welfare of all the chapters. In such work, it feels that it will best be o f service to Washington and Lee. Zbe year 1914=4915 LTHOUGH no great changes or revolutions have taken place in student affairs at Washington and Lee during the past year, many events of interest have occurred to enliven the monotony of class- room work. The fall was taken up entirely with interest and dis- cussion centering on the football season. An unusually large num- ber of students accompanied the team on their out-of-town trips, and enjoyed the atmosphere of tenseness intermingled with gayety, surrounding an important date in the football calendar. The trips to Richmond. Roanoke, Lynchburg. Charleston, and Norfolk car- ried a large coterie of rooters and pleasure-seekers and always furnished a good excuse for not attending classes. There were no large dances during this time, but several tht danswnts were held in the Beanery and at other places about school. For the Wake Forest game a large number of young ladies from Randolph-Macon and Southern Seminary were present, some of whom stayed over for an informal dance. 174 One of the most spectacular and impressive events of the year was the welcome accorded the team on its return from the victorious A. and M. game. It is needless to say that five hundred students me1 the train. As the warriors came off the train they wen ' literally carried to a large tally-ho, and headed by the student hand, the remainder of the school, with red-ligh1 torches, paraded through the streets in a column of twos. As the parade passed through Wash- ington Sti t. the two lines fell back to the edge of the street, and between the two rows of lisi ' hts. three or four blocks in length, the freshmen pulled the tally-ho. while the student-body, with uncovered heads, paid homage to the greatest team ever sent out from Wilson Field. Around a huge bonfire on the Gymnasium Hill, speeches and cheers held the crowd until the light of the bon- fire died out and the hungry crowd dispersed. Then came the Thanksgiving dances; the Sophomore Cotillion, the Firsl Cotillion Cluh Dance, and two dansauts, one given by the Kappa Alpha Frater- nity, and another held in the University Commons. A large and attractive bunch of calic ' graced the festivities. The Pan and While Friar Ribbon Societies gave their annual shows in the Lyric Theatre, and another event of interest was the annual reception tendered the football team in the Carnegie Library, at which appropriate tokens were presented Coach Jogger Blcock, Assistant Coach Bill Raftery, and Captain Jiggs Donahue. Nearly fifty of the Generals remained in Lexington during the Christmas Holidays, and the succession of small parties held by and for them, was crowned by a delightful reception for the young men. held at the home of President Smith. January 5th saw the return of most of the school from their respective homes, and all plunged into strict communion with their hooks, to make up for the carefree days of the first term. The midwinter dances were held in the earlier part of February. The Fancy Dress Ball, one of the largest and most brilliant social function of the year, exceeded in magnifcenee and effectiveness, any other dance ever give here. The Junior Prom, and various dansauts given by frater- nities and the University Commons served to till out the program. The re- mainder of the winter season was taken up with basketball games, for which tic student-body made two trips to Lynchburg; various recitals held in the Library; the Annual Celebrations of the Literary Societies; tin- Sigma Initiation. Phi Delta Phi Initiation and numerous entertainments. As the warm season of the year approached, a widespread epidemic of pink-eye ' threatened to disrupt the university. Nearly a hundred cases were reported during February and the early part of March, and brown goggles were as thick on the campus as daisies in April. This disease was eagerly sought for and various means were resorted to to contract it. hut when it was found that under no conditions would classes he discontinued, a perceptible falling off in the number of cases was noticed. 175 The track team entered three important meets in Washington and Balti- more, making a splendid showing in all of these, and winning the first one by a big score. The basket-ball trip through the North was not so successful, but when the caliber of teams played and the handicaps falling on the Generals ' team are considered, nothing but credit can be attached to their efforts. The trips of the Combined Musical Clubs were a success in every way. Following an enthusiastic reception in the Lyric Theatre, this organization, consisting of the Band, Orchestra, Glee Club, and Mandolin Club, invaded Lynchburg, Staunton, Southern Seminary, and other points, and were accorded a splendid reception at each performance. It is safe to say that taken all in all, these clubs are the best ever produced here. Interest in dramatics has revived, and under the direction of Mr. Stuart Braddock, an experienced actor, a play was given by the students, assisted by some of the young ladies of Lexington. The Students Wedding as the play was entitled, is a humorous farce, and some remarkable dramatic talent was unearthed at the rehearsals, which were held nightly, in the Beanery. Several meetings were held by the student-body to discuss issues which concerned their interests. An important amendment to the Constitution and By-Laws of the Student-Body, provides, in effect, that all Treasurers of classes and other student-body organizations, shall be responsible to the Executive Com- mittee of the Student-Body, for all accounts and business transactions of the class or organization. This will serve to place class enterprises upon a firmer basis. Another important act of legislation was the revision of the Athletic Eligibility Rules by the Athletic Council, providing for five months residence and other much needed features. While class football was somewhat sadly neglected, a considerable amount of interest was aroused in class basket-ball. Several heated contests were wit- nessed in the Field Club House, the Seniors winning the championship in the Academic School, while the Juniors were winners in the Law School. As spring approaches, the main events on our horizon are the baseball season, the Easter Dances, the completion of the Doremus Gymnasium, and lastly Finals, when some of us shall part never to meet again. 176 pbi Ikappa Ipst Founded Washington and Jefferson 1852 Virginia TBcta Cfjaptet Established 1S55 Livingston W.

A. student members James Edwin Bear Edward Parks Davis Edward Arthur Donahue Philip Pendleton Gibson Thomas McPheeters Glasgow William Caulfield Raftery Zbc Circle Tlie Omicron Delta Kappa Society, publicly known as The Circle, was established at Washington and Lee University in December, 1014. Its founders believe that they have supplied a long-felt need by originating this organization. Its standards are unique in that they embrace so many different branches of college life, while other honorary societies are confined, for the most part, to one particular form of college activity. The Circle chooses its members from all departments and, in making its selections, no fraternal or other society affiliations of the men are considered. The idea is to reward men who have performed some unselfish work for the Alma Mater, whether in or out of the classroom. Its purpose is to single out men, who have been leaders, and to give them public recognition for their work. The society is purely honorary and every man in school becomes eventually eligible for membership. The members are chosen from among those who have led their fellows in some of the following phases of campus life: (1) scholarship; (2) athletics; [■:,) publications; (4) literary society work; (5) general campus leadership. An annual public initiation is held in April, when appropriate exercises are conducted, and the new members invested with their keys. flDasonic Club of Washington anb %cc XHni et8it Officers JOHN EPPES MARTIN CHARLES McCLUNG SWITZER..

Williams 3n Appreciation W™ E PEEL thai this number of the Calyx would be incomplete without a few words of appreciation to numerous friends of the University who SEHSi ll;l ' r rendered the Editors valuable assistance in the preparation of the material for this book. Had it not been for their courtesy and interest toward the annual, we feel that it would have fallen short of its present standard. Many of the articles in the book were prepared by persons, who. in the opinion of the Editors, were better qualified to treat their respective subjects than any member of the Calyx Staff. For the sketch of Doctor Easter we are indebted to Professor Hall Canter of Randolph-Macon College, Ashland, Va. Doctor Canter was associated with Doctor Easter at the above named institution, and is a warm friend and admirer of the subject of bis sketch. Dr. Thomas J. Farrar prepared the article on the Inter-fraternity Agreement, while Jiggs Donahue is responsible for the article on Coach Elcock. The drawings in this book were furnished by Gilbert Piatt, the staff artist : Jack Martin, business manager; A. G. McKinnon, humorous editor; Frank Gil- breath, Houston Barclay, Horner Fisher, John Graham, and Mr. Fletcher Stiers. To various other students, alumni, and members of the faculty, we are indebted for valuable hints and suggestions, especially to members of last year ' s Calyx Staff. To all of these much credit is due for anything of value in thfs book. Class Football Chamfioxs CU00 iFootball S WING to the extreme interest taken in varsity football, the class teams were somewhat late in organizing, and exams and cold weather interfered in a great measure with the inter-class football season. Nevertheless several exciting contests were staged, and this was heightened by the fact that three games played by the same classes resulted in tie scores. The class games have always been valuable in developing material for the varsity, and this branch of athletics should be foster, d at Washington and Lee. for its interesting features, combined with the above mentioned reason. Of this year ' s varsity eleven, Captain Dona- hue, Harrison, and other star members of the squad are products of class football. Abova may be seen a picture of the Freshman Eleven, claimants to the Inter-Class Championship. There was some argument among these sturdy athletes as to whether it would be more appropriate to have the picture taken in football attire or evening clothes. After much heated discussion, a compromise was effected by which they decided to appear as ordinary citizens. They had intended tying a ribbon about the football, bearing the class colors, but no agree- ment could be formulated as to the color combination, so this feature was omitted in the picture. Keep up the good work, freshmen. Remember, that ' s how Jiggs got his start! College Dap0 lOLLEGE LIFE is a thing of the past. No more does one see the throngs 2gg of gaily dressed youths lounging around MeCrums, or, we had best say, B 1 over McCrum ' s. No more do we hear the midnight shouts of the revelers returning ' from the scene of their nocturnal adventures, but we may hear the solitary footsteps of some conscientious seeker of knowledge returning from Tucker Hall or the History Library, to snatch a few hours sleep from his work. As a result of the change in our student body, the State has gone dry, Willie Higgins is running his Ivory Hall from mere force of habit, the barbers have raised the prices on Haircuts and Shaves, and it is now necessary to run two bookstores in town, where one formerly supplied all needs. Yes ! The Good Old Days have passed into oblivion, so it would seem. College Life has vanished from the old campus and only the Odds and Ends are left, pitiful reminders of a former glory. THE CALYX for several years cherished the idea that College Life was not dead but dormant. It endeavored to believe that some day it would awake from its sleep and restore the old traditions. However, this year, our patience is exhausted and with tears in our ieyes and an ache in our heart, we must stand by and acknowledge to ourselves that things will never be the same. Therefore, we dedicate this fwst number of ODDS AND ENDS to the Good Old Days, which can never be recalled, save in the memories of those who lived in them and knew them. To us, they are only a shadow and a tradition — something which we can never experience. % )t dSoot) £DID 2Dap0 ( Dedicated to Bill Raktkry ' Twas in the hills of Old Kentucky, At a secret moonshine still, A ; chance would have it last summer, 1 met my old pal Bill. Now Hill and 1 were classmates At Washington and Lee, For four short years we loafed there And were as happy as buys could be. We attended some of the classes, Even Chapel once in a while; Danced at all the dances And kept up with all the style; Spent our days round the drugstore, Our nights in the hall overhead — An ' Open Gate to Hell ' So the sad-faced town-people said. Hut why should we worry When we all were happy and glad. Cause the folks at home never heard of it. Or anything else that was had. Our reports were Good and Excellent And so was our reputation; And all the president said Was On to graduation. 24] But our college course soon ended And we left the busy whirl. And Bill and I strayed off To try our way in the world. Our paths didn ' t lie together And I missed my old pal. Bill, Till I ran across him last summer And found him soaked to the gill. He ' d been on a visit to Lexington Just to see the old place again, And he was try in ' to drown his sorrow In some old Kentucky gin. He had expected to find new faces, But the same old spirit and life, And the changes he found on his visit Cut Bill like a two-edged knife. Old Boy, he said and his eyes grew dim, I got a lot to tell — Things aint like they use ' to be, Everything ' s gone to Hell. I found ' em attendin ' classes Just like in regular schools. A brand new bunch of professors And the damndest set of rules. A ' Compulsory( !ha pel ' requirement, An excU3e when you miss a class, And a whole lot more damn-foolery Thai ' nd made us I ' itI like an ass. The hall above Mc- Cl ' lim ' s is closed. The whole d a no o State ' s gone dry. And the looks of that new aggregation Is enough to make you cry. There ' s a president named Henry Louisa With a look kinder down in the mouth. And he ' s gathered a bunch about him What he ealls The Cream of the South. A sad-bird bunch they are. Old Boy, With faces like a funeral knell — Kinder looked like it seemed to them That everything ' s gone to Hell. They got a fellow called Shannon Come to take Dr. Currell ' s place, And he ' ll flunk you for nothing more Than seem ' a smile on your face. The new law professor, Moreland. Such a good fellow in days gone by, Is alookin ' mighty sad now Since Old Virginia ' s gone dry. But Sehermerhorn, the other professor, Has made the fellows rejoice ; Cause he don ' t spend his time teachin ' . But displayin ' his wonderful voice. Old Sissy Stevens is livin ' And still inflictin ' his curse. But his system ' s a whole lot stricter And even his jokes are worse. Dr. Howe ' s right there in chemistry. You can still hear his harsh voice ring. But Eddie Lyons, his assistant. Tries to run the whole damn thing. They still have Puss Hancock ' s dry lectures. And Granville ' s bull as well. And Cutey Easter ' s jokes And his hellatioUs parallel. You ' ll still find Doc and Slouch and Old Harry. And Eddie Davis too. But in a way. Old Boy, Even Eddie seems kinder new. He ' s not quite so gay and happy As most anyone can see He ' s thinkin ' about them good old time-;. In the days that use to he. There aint no more Chie Pritchetts, • And John Harman ' s a thing of the past, And all the good old traditions Is bein ' wiped out fast. Ami there ' s one tiling more I ' ll tell you, Tim it makes me sad and sore. They Ve goi so damn religious You can ' t sing the old songs no more. They ' ve threatened to abolish the Swing, I ldcss i hey change one line, And Bail, hail the Gang ' s all Here ' . ' Is now a five-dollar Hue. Bill ' s voice dropped low and his face looked sa In the light of the sun ' s last rays. And 1 knew in my heart he was thinkin ' hard Of ihe glory of by-gone days. Old Boy, he says, I could tell you more Bill my heart begins to swell. You can take it from me. or go and see — Everything ' s gone to Hell. A. McK. iris (HUM urn SjSis ' iff H 1 la 1 ICT P, i I % yt Outride league The Suicide League opened with a bang on the firsl Monday after Thanks- giving. Several of the old guards were on hand as well w, a gocdly number of embryos who were eager to be initiated into the mysteries of the league. Chief Mogul ( ' (inverse after offering a prayer for the departed souls of last season and praying that the harvest mighl he as great this year, announced thai the season was o pen. Calling the devotees, and would-be devotees together, he firsl read the eligi- bility rules, which were as follows: 1. No one shall bo eligible to participate in the games of the league unless he shall have previously made his last will and testament. 2. No one shall lie eligible unless he shall have previously taken out a life insurance or accident policy to provide for doctor bills or funeral expenses. :!. No n arried n an shall be eligible, as it is cot the desire of the league to increase the number of widows and orphans in the land. 4. No lovers, prospective or otherwise, shall be eligible, since the league is opposed to breaking feminine hearts. 5. No one shall be eligible unless he be built at least five feet from the ground, since runts in addition to being very elusive, furnish but little, and very precarious, footing in critical moments. 6. No man shall be eligible who has his hair cut more than twice every six months. Long hair is essential to the complete success of the game. 7. Jiu-Jitsu experts are barred from participation in the game of the league as the death rate and casualty list will be sufficiently large without their assistance. s. Appollo Belvederes and James Warren Kerrigans, though eligible, are advised against joining the league. Facial disfigurement and mayhem constitute the principal sports of the suicide devotees. 9. No one shall be eligible who is not conversant and in sympathy with the doctrines and principles of Christian Science. The game can ' t be stopped to administer to the injuries of the disabled. Having read the eligibility rules. Chief Mogul Converse now proceeded to explain the rides of the game The vets smiled as the Chief glibly and non- chalantly outlined the few simple details of the game, hut the faces of the un- initiated blanched, and after the announcement of the first rule, the number of aspirants for Suicide League honors preceptibly decreased. The rules were as follows : 1. The main idea of the game is to disable as many of your opponents as possible. That side which has the most survivors at the close of the game is I lie winner. ' 1. Fists, feet, heads, all weapons with the exceptions of A2 centimeter Krupp guns may be used freely. 3. Keep the ball away from your opponent at any cost. 4. Shoot baskets only when there is no opponent in sight. Where there is a choice between shooting a basket and an opponent always shoot the opponent. 5. Don ' t get sore if you lose your teeth, break an arm or leg. Remember it ' s your time next. Reciprocity is one of the redeeming features of the game. 6. No fouls shall be called and everj ' player shall put into play his own individual ideas as to the manner of advancing or recovering the ball. The motto of the league is, Develop individuality even if you do have to kill a few individuals. ' ' The preliminaries over, the Chief issued the call for candidates. Of the hundred or so fearless and ambitious youths who had announced their intention to enter the league, there remained only twenty who still retained their pristine eagerness to flirt with Death. The two teams took the floor. Not a Ghost of a Chance rattled his chains, and the first game of the season was on. OFFICIALS MANAGER W. C. Little COACH Wm.

This result is must gratifying, as next year every old man in school will be a member of this organization, and mi one will be left out. ' Buzz Truslow, a captain and star player on the Billiard Ball Team, was elected President of the organization, and Summer- weather MacCartwheel was elected Secretary. No Treasurer was elected as all of the funds of the Club had been expended before they were collected. An important resolution was passed, to the effed thai no intoxicating spirits be purchased by the Club, I nit that the money be expended in advertising in the Ring-Turn Phi and in aiding the suffering Belgians. This is very commendable as it upholds the reputation of the organization for charity. A committee for getting up the show was appointed, consisting of Siamese Mackey, Bill Shamer, II. O. Cold, and Willie Wiggins. It was determined that all obscene and coarse jokes be cut out. and daffydils, puns, and hymns constitute the program. This change was made for the benefit of the freshmen, who might otherwise gain a had impression of the real purpose id ' the organization. The committee was also instructed to secure some rooters for the first twelve rows to lead the cheering, and it was finally decided to impress the fraternity goats into service, thus guaranteeing an apprecia tive audience. After a short prayer by Rooster Class, the meeting adjourned. Ci)e aiUaslnngton ant) Hee £ eal AS IT REALLY IS AS STRAIN PATTOX SEE IT AS A. M.

The large glass auditorium, newly completed, and dedicated to St. Vitus, patron of the dance, was taste- fully decorated in white blackberry vines and blue grass, thus giving the University color scheme. The ■ yf ladies ' dressing-room was covered with wild honey- A { suckle vines; and cigarette stands, with matches, cigars, and cocktails, were on hand for Hie convenience of tlie visiting young women between halves. Music was furnished by the Lyric Orchestra, who put plenty of ' pep iido the dance and wen ' encored frequently. The chaperones ' stand was placed in the middle of the floor, for the better observation of these ladies, and a dictaphone was installed so as to get complete de- tails of the dance for the Ring-Turn Phi. Promptly at two a. m. the Lyric Orchestra started the inspiring strains of I Didn ' t Want To Do It. and the Grand Parade around the floor began. First in order came the Adams Express Company Brewery Wagon, driven by one of the Visiting Alumni, piled high with cases of Borne-Brew. The President of the Pall. .Mr. 1 Will Steal, clad in an undressed lion-skin cape, and wearing a silk hat then appeared. He was profusely decorated with flowers and whiskey labels, and paced around the floor in a very dignified manner, smoking a large Morris-Harvey cigarette. His hearing was very impressive and called forth much applause. Then came the Editor of the Ring-Turn Phi. who was placed in this advantageous position, so as to secure complete details of the costumes for the Rockbridge County News. Following him were the seventy- five couples in the opening figure, the young men clad in white and him- tights, tin- young ladies in light airy costumes, befitting the occasion. Led by the brewery wagon, a skillful figure was executed, features of this being the representation of a dollar-mark ($) and a question mark (?). At the end of the figure, the chaperons exeeuti d a classic dance, in which all the dancers joined. The young people cavorted, swirled, and writhed about in the mazes of the dances, until four o ' clock, a. m., when time was called for refreshments. A quick lunch was served, consisting of oysters served raw, Gymnasium Highballs, Walnuts a la Neuburg, and bananas a la Hamburg. A feature was a special course consisting of O ' Brien Potatoes and Old Taylor Macaroons with spaghetti trimmings. During the supper intermission the music played selections from The Merry Widow, and the Delta Sigma Rho goats delivered orations on Athletic Relation with the University of Virginia during the Past Year. Dancing was resumed until eight-thirty, when all of the happy revelers adjourned to the V. M. 1. Parade Ground, where appropriate ceremonies were carried on. Only one unpleasant feature marred the happiness of the occasion, this being the ejection of one of the old alumni ' from the hall, on account of his improper method of waltzing. The cards for the occasion were the handsomest ever seen here, and showed much expense and forethought. They were bound in blue Bull Skin and contained a copy of the Washington and Lee Swing and Doctor Smith ' s oration on the Three-fold Advantages of Washington and Lee, in addition to the regular program. To each guest was given a free copy of the Calyx, the manage- ment being unable to sell any copies this year. This event has been pronounced the most successful and enjoyable dance ever held here, and much credit is due the President, who spared neither pains nor expense from the first of the year to plan the minutest detail in connection with this event. Tell me what you ' re thinking, said she. And wistfully raised her head. The same as you. he answered.

Cause the truth is — vim ' been drunk ! £@tnutes of a jfacultp Meeting Meeting called to order at 8:30 p. m. by the President. Doctor Smith, and roll-call showed all present with the exception of Professor Sissy Stevens. How- ever, he came in late, giving as an excuse, a sprained wrist, injured while trying to pat himself on the back over his new curve. The report of the last meeting was heard as far as Buena Vista, and these formalities being completed, the body passed on to the real work of the evening. It was decided by unanimous vote of the faculty, that all members of athletic teams, ribbon societies, and the Cotillion Club be requested to leave school, as their influence worked against the advance of culture and refinement among the freshmen, the Cream of Southern Boyhood. ' ' A new plan was presented by Doctor Smith, our president, by which com- pulsory gymnasium should be put in force, thereby developing the physical, as well as the intellectual side of the student. This plan called for an increase in equipment, including canoes, water-wings, chute-the-chutes, etc.. to be placed on old North River, thus making the daily bath a luxury. Of course, this measure was promptly voted down by the trustees, since this money could be used to better purpose in securing more ministerial students for the University. It was decided to send all of the members of the faculty on a trip to South- ern Seminary, so as to enable them to observe the most advanced methods of teaching. The sophomore assistant professors would then be left in charge of classes, a plan which has already been tried and found highly successful. The Physical Director arose and laid before the committee on athletics the names of eleven boys from a prominent New England Prep. School, for whom he desired scholarships. These were granted without discussion. Professor Stevens then proposed a plan for a new college yell, the old one being unscientific and unsymmetrical. His idea was to have the students take a deep breath and exhale both loudly and simultaneously. Thus the effect on the sound waves in the atmosphere would not be so violent, and would allow him to continue his experiments undisturbed. The faculty were all highly pleased with this idea, and assiired the Doctor that it should be carried into effect at once. The President of the Student-Body, the Captain of the Football Team, and the Editor of the Ring-Tum Phi were then expelled from school, for engaging in activities, other than class-room feats. Captain Schlitz of the Knitting Team was then called before th meetfag and informed that en account of the new Embroidery Policy of the University of Virginia, the annual contest had been called off. As there were no more men to be shipped from school, the meeting ad- journed. Old Ted Shultz Had a wooden leg. He did n ' t want to borrow, And he did n ' t want to beg.

Pollard has been such a leading factor in the development of athletics at Wash- ington and Lee the past few years that a picture of him would he suitable to any discussion of any phase of physical training here. Since he has been the general athletic director in our school (he came in 1909), Washington and Lee has made remarkable advancement in the world of sport and physical culture. It has been in a great measure due to his efforts that we have assumed such a high place in collegiate athletics. He is a recognized leader in athletics through- out the South; he is the organizer of the Inter-Scholastic Track Meet held here each year: lie is popular with the students in the class room and on the campus; he is a teacher of much ability; and, above all. he is a man. Cf)e 99i0f)tp General Ceam The football season opened, And before so very long, It was rumored by the wise ones That the Generals would be strong; With Eleock and Bill Eaftery To coach the White and Blue, And a captain with the spirit Possessed b.y Donahue, They were destined to be greater Than in years before, ' twould seem, And already folks were talking Of ' ' The Mighty General Team. ' ' Everywhere the records shifted, Games were lost and won; But through it all The Generals Had yielded yet to none. Eight times up the victims came, And eight times down they fell. And: in every hard-fought battle The Generals gave them hell. A. and M. alone remained — But even in this game — No one feared the outcome, For the Mighty General Team. Thanksgiving Day at last drew near, The squad to Norfolk went, Every man determined All with one intent: A. and M. would have to yield; And on the fateful day Those who watched the conflict Began to think The General Way. ' And when Seeley made the touchdown You could hear the people scream, For they all were betting heavy On the Mighty General Team. Back now came the conquerors, Champions ' ' they were hailed. And rightly had they earned it — For never had they failed To display their grit and courage, To fight with all their might, ; And with grim determination They had fought a winning fight. No matter if Virginia The Championship does claim — She could n ' t hold a candle To the Mighty General Team.

Although the object which it is used to describe, is of the same ' milk-and- watery ' makeup as the milkshake brand, this new variety of Cream is almost human. In appearance it suggests the j mis homo, but on closer inspec- tion it may be seen that this is only a poor imitation of a man. It has come into demand as an addition to the college museum, and great numbers are being yearly shipped in.)
