Ptiffc Fo Bpttrg IC0uts g mttlj Q RESIDENT HENRY LOUIS SMITH belongs to that long line of dis- tinguished men who were born in the manse; for he is the son of a well known former pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Greensboro, North Carolina. Growing up amid the trying times in the South imme- diately following the Civil War he learned many hard lessons in life from experi- ence. As a consequence of the sacrifices of his father and mother, who knew the value of an education, and of his own ambition he obtained a college education at a time when many other boys in the South were denied such a privilege. He was graduated from Davidson College in 1881, and in 1886 he recevied an A. M. from the same institution. In 1890 he took the Ph.D. degree at the University of Virginia. xA.s a teacher of science at Davidson where Dr. Smith began his professional career, he was so full of enthusiasm and inspiration that the students flocked into his classes. But his restless energy could not well be confined within the walls of a class room, and after twelve years of service in the professor ' s chair, he was elected to the presidency of Davidson. The policy of Dr. Smith since his election to the presidency of Washington and Lee in 1912 has been to develop the students in the best manner possible physically, intellectually and morally. He has constantly directed his efforts toward restricting the number of students and increasing the number of members of the faculty in order that the proportion might become more satisfactory for the best results in teaching. Possessing a mind of scientific and practical bent, he is yet an idealist with a vivid imagination. He is a man without prejudices who deals with abstract principles rather than with individuals. From )}oyhood Dr. Smith has been an athlete and lover of outdoor sports. Hunting, fishing, boating, swimming and skating have always been his delight, and in one or another of these forms of sport he still takes his recreation. For an avocation he has adopted farming, and nothing gives him more genuine pleasure than to slip away from the busy duties of his office and spend a few days studying the problems of his apple orchard in North Carolina. Dr. Smith is a fluent and effective public speaker. With his remarkable powers of analysis he carries conviction by his appeal to the reason and the intellect. And he is in constant demand as a speaker wherever educational, economic, or religious questions are to be discussed. The one word which probably bulks largest in President Smith ' s success as a teacher, administrator, athlete, farmer, and speaker is enthusiasm. For whatever he does, he does with all his might.

Realizincr that there J is nothing new under the sun, we are not going to attempt the impossible feat of presenting for your consideration anything startlingly original in this prologue. The ideal of the dramatist is to present a play, not himself. And so, we shall content ourselves with merely drawing aside the curtains of our stage and presenting The Calyx 191? to your gaze with as little reference as possible to those who have labored through many long hours in its production. In spite of Dr. Pollard ' s untiring efforts for co-operation on our campus, it has always been a lamental)le fact that most of the hibni ' s of ])ubiication fall on the shoulders of the Editor-in-Chief. This year, wc liave been fortunate in luiving a Calyx staff, which has at all times worked faithfully with its editor. For this, that weary ink-spiller is (hdy grateful. We would pay tribute also to our little dynamo, called the Business nuniager, who has never failed to turn over a needed scheckle. Not content witii finding an abundance of work for every member of the Staff, we have also called upon others. In this connection, we wish to thank Mrs. E. F. Shannon, Miss Pauline Fisher, and Messrs. L. A. McMurray, L. T. Brown and J. B. Mallard for their artistic work, and lessrs, K. A. Donahue, J. R. Caskie, and Drs. H. L. Smith and E. F. Shannon for their excellent contributions. Our historians have also done good service. In general, we wish to thank our advertisers for our financial salvation, and the student body for its important assistance in the taking of pictures, rendering information and subscribing to the publication. Finally, we hope that we have with some small degree of success presented the manifold interests and the spirit of this eventful year on the campus of Washington and Lee. It has been no child ' s task for us, but we are now happy in the knowl- edge of work faithfully and lovingly performed for our school. We have not the slightest doubt that our readers will mingle blame with praise, and so in closing we would remind you of that old contention of the pessimist, Blessed are they that expect but little. For verily, they shall not be disappointed.

It has long been the custom to place at the disposal of these organized chapters fifty-dollar one-year scholarships to be awarded by each chapter to some especially promising new student. Eight or nine years ago, recognizing the vagueness and inefficiency of this general organization, The University Alumni, Incorporated, was established and chartered by a group of leading alumni. The purpose of this organization was to establish a regular alumni endowment fund, this fund to be held and adminis- tered by a body of trustees elected by The University Alumni, Incorporated, and its income devoted to such uses as the trustees of the Alumni, Incorporated, ap- proved and adopted. The annual dues were made five dollars for each member, this being modified in a few years by a by-law allowing the more recent alumni to pay an annual fee of only one dollar during the first five years after leaving the University. It was also the hope of this organization to publish, preferably at Washington City where its officers resided, a regular Washington and Lee magazine to repre- sent the University before the general public. The officers of this organization, at the beginning of the new administration in 1912, were Senator George E. Chamberlain, President, Dr. William Taylor Thom, Secretary, and Richard W. Hynson, Treasurer, all of Washington City. By the commencement at the close of 1914-15 the alumni fund thus colle cted had slowly grown to something over $3,000, special gifts amounting to $G00 or $700 had been made from its funds to the University, and the interest among the alumni was steadily though slowly growing. During this year the efforts of Dr. Thom and his associates wore vigorously reinforced by the new president, a group of the younger alumni, and especially hv the efforts of Dr. Calhoun, of William and Mary, to bring together all the iihimni who had studied under General Lee to the campus at commencement in June, 191G. This commencement nuirked the l)eginning of a new era in the inter- est and loyalty of the alumni. More than 250 were ])resent at the reunion, break- ing all records and generating a new and deeper enthusiasm. Page Forty reared safe from liarm the bulwark and Pallndiuin (if (nir liliertics, tlic United States Constitution. Forget not, also, .hist ice Shiras. who chan ied his opinion overnight, and Justice Harlan, who would write a strong dissenting o])inion. I have been proceeding with great pains, for 1 want the class to get this point. l)ut space forbids that I discuss the welfare clause of the Constitution. In Coi ' poi ' a- tions we have seen wonderful acrobatic feats in balancing, while the hlackhoiird has borne voiceless reproach to oily locks. In our memories will linger Joe ' s pathetic spendthrift case reduct ' d to mov- ing pictures, such a little one, and That ' s bad. Not so bad. In days to come we will visualize Boss, with open vest, telling us to get this point coppered down, or lambasting the old common law judges who could not see that which was plain to everyone else. Profit much we will from his lucid explanations of the law; and assisted by Hornbook law (from which some of us may recoil with horror), we will prepare bang-up cases. As jury-charmers we will cut up our opponents ' arguments root and branch, and then fix a soft spot for the jury to light on. It hath been said that much coin of the realm can be seques- tered by prevailing over one ' s adversary. Far be it from us to undervalue this law school with its conscientious, capable professors, and admirable teaching system ; yet an acquaintanceship of nearly two years emboldens us to make a suggestion concerning this system. Today a man rises or falls as the grade on his examination paper is SO to 100, or is below 80. On the examination depends everything. Not here lies the objection. It lies deeper. Since a man is held accountable only on his examination paper, oppor- tunity is strongly presented to him to ease along in his studying until examinations be almost upon him; then by a feverish cramming he gets a somewhat insecure grasp of the subject such as will enable him to ]iass the ticket. Results: imperfectly prepared assignments, an attitude of how little rather than how much work is to be done in order to pass, and at the close of the term a hasty, superficial review followed by an even hastier forgetting. Interest must be powerful to overcome inertia where difficult, complex reading of law is concerned. Will-power must be great to force a man to work steadily and painstakingly while practice with its many opportunities for study is one or two years distant. We hold that it requires a combination of accountability and pressure (analogous to the pressure of necessity in the business world) to make the average law student do full justice to himself in the matter of study. We, therefore, suggest that there be weekly or ten-day written quizzes, and that these quizzes count and count heavily toward the passing grade. These quizzes in student assistants ' hands would not lessen the professors ' effectiveness. Here we Page Forty-five 1117 have the combination of accountability and pressure, so desirable. Instead of only one necessarily hasty review, there would be many short reviews preparatory to these quizzes, thereby building up a sure foundation for the subject studied. The last review before examination would then drive home and clinch the main points and essentials of the ticket. Many men learn most by review. Why not have a number of compulsory opportunities for a man to infuse in himself the funda- mentals of the law ? To Washington and Lee we will return in years to come, for these student days will then be our good old days. In reiinions we will kindle the brighter our love for this noble old school and will recall with joyful memory our Golden Days in our Golden Youth at Washington and Lee. Then we will say, It is indeed good to be here, here at Washington and Lee. I ' u r F ' Illy -six KoiiEirr I ' .vTTKHsox Adams Trcntun, ' reniiesseo From Trenton on tlie Forkeddoer Kivcr, Bob. as a promisintr young man. who should go on to graduation, entered Washington and Lee under the hypnotic Dictatorship of the imperturbable, melli- ferous Mike Denny. Following that sage advice, he took his A.B. degree in 1915, and thought he would try all over again in the law school. On May first last year Bob was forced to go home on account of his father ' s ill- ness, thus losing the entire term ' s work. This spring, in consequence, he is taking every ticket tauglit in the law school. But have no fear; he will win out in spite of these odds. Excepting his enforced absence a year ago, lie has been present at every lecture since he has been in the law school, always occupying a front seat. Can any other Senior show such a record ? He will probably practice in St. Louis or in the Southwest. Baldwin Buckner Bane K 2; A $; A K Stanardville, Virginia Here l)efore you is a man with a fine mind, a strong will, and a forceful per- sonality, backed by common sense and tact. Thus endowed, ' Baldy ' ' has won an enviable position of leadership in the law school, both within and without the class- room. He was president of the Junior Law Class, and has this year taken a very prominent part in class affairs. Bane took his A.B. at Eandolph-] Iacon College, and then spent four years at Ban- dolph-Macon Academy (Bedford City. Ya.) as teacher and footl)all coach. With this as additional training he came to Washington and Lee to work, and work he has done. Contracts 97-95; Real Prop- erty 92-96; Pleading 98-94; 96, 96, 9T, 9?, 98, 99, 99, and 99. He is, however, no machine, as his ability to tell a story well amply illustrates. He will probably practice in the South- west. 1917 Page Forly-sevi mil William Tanstavee:n- Birchfield n K A; $ A A Marion, Virginia In spite of his classical name Birch hails from Southwest Virginia, to-wit: Marion, in which little town he was born August 24, 1895. After sojourning at Randolph-Macon Academy, he went to Emory and Henry now and then for two years. In 1914 he appeared on the local hori- zon and committed himself to the tender mercies of Clovis Moomaw, who was then standing during his lectures, his right fist driving the legal points home with re- sounding whacks. While dwelling in Lex- ington, Birchfield has been a frequent suft ' erer from pink eye, and this malady has prevented him on several occasions from taking his examinations. Once having lived in the Garden Spot of Virginia, a man must return ; he can- not do otherwise. Birch, therefore, will practice in his home town. From present indications. Friend Cupid is possibly get- ting ready to shoot shortly. John Rhodes Brand West Point, Mississippi A graduate of West Point (H. S.), John, alias Red, Brand took academic work at Tulane, stayed out of school a year, and forthwith and immediately de- serted the Father of Waters for Wash- ington and Lee. John ' s sentiments on a certain Mississippi senator are not fit for ])uhli( ' ation. All he will say is: 1 wish I could liave been down in Mississippi to lielp send ' ardaman that iron cross. Red is very popular with his class- mates, and he now holds the office of Secretary-Treasurer. There is something of tlie Lincolnesque about him, both in liis general build and in his keen intellect, calm deliberate manner, pensive tranquil- ity of spirit, philosoi)hicaI cast of mind, and syin|tath( ' tic humanitarian outlook up- on life, i r thcic he in fact a genius in the (hiss. ,l(ihn is that genius. Look at these grades: !l !-!)• !; !f . 9 1, 94, 9 1, 9 1. 94, 9(i, 9«. Ptu r I ' dily-rit ht 1517 Nye Britts North Tazewell, Virginia Many Seniors owe debts of gratitude to Nye Britts, for he is the author of Britt ? Notes on Corporations, which helped so much in a time of need last December. Being a stenographer of much capability, he has rendered valuable service to the class. Pete was ed ucated at the Tazewell High School and at Tazewell College. For five years after leaving school he worked in a law office as a stenographer. From 1910 to 191-1 he was clerk to the United States Attorney for the Western District of Virginia. Deciding to devote his full time to the study of law, he came to Washington and Lee in 1915; and has been doing steady, consistent work ever since matriculating here. Contracts 91- 92; Torts 91; Criminal Procedure 9,5; Criminal Law 96. Nye is somewhat rotund, and we hope that wearing law practice will not reduce his embonpoint and geniality. Haeky Van Metre Campbell K A; $ A 4 Berkeley Springs, West A irginia Harry was born in Salem, Virginia, October 12, 1896, but in boyhood he moved to Berkeley Springs, a spot which he still calls home. In 1911 he went to Augusta Military Academy and graduated in three years as lieutenant. After work- ing a year he decided to study law : that he has well applied himself is proved by 95-91 on Pleading and by these other grades: 90, 91, 92, 95, 97, 97. From constant exposure to cases Harry has acquired a Judicial bearing and a de- liberateness of manner befitting a supreme court judge. Possibly the judgeship will come his way in Ohio, for he has a desire to practice corporation law in the little hamlet of Youngstown. It will probably be a one-man firm, at least in the l)egin- ning. While at school Harry has lived by tlic well-known formula: Work hard and play hard and don ' t take life or anything else too seriously. Pa( e Forty-nine lllf Clarence William Carter n K A Warrenton, Virginia When it comes to dogged determina- tion, we have to take off our hats to Nick Carter, whose likeness here greets you. With no other training than that afforded by a high school, he came to us from Warrenton in 1915, planning to take a three year course. After the first term had rolled around and away, he experi- enced a change of heart, and to show how complete the change was he made the highest mark in the class on second term Contracts. Though having both Pleading and Real Property this year, he made 95 on second term Pleading, again the high- est mark in the class. We must also re- member that he entered the law school be- fore his nineteenth birthday, and will, consequently, get his degree while still a minor. He desires to specialize in Real Prop- erty practice. Lafayette Bevins Chafin A X P Williamson, West Virginia Out of the hills of West Virginia, near the eastern mountains of Kentucky, from the heart of the million-dollar coal field, videlicet, Williamson, emerged Lafayette Bevins Chafin ; and discarding for the time being his trusted howitzer, he entered our Academic School. After two years academic questions ceased to interest him and his better judgment whispered, Tucker Hall. He came over and has been with us ever since. Chafe was Valedictorian of his class at Williamson, and fluent speech has not become a lost art with him. He ' ll show those West Virginia folks a thing or two when he returns to ])ractice in all the courts of Mingo and adjoining counties. He will go ill witli a ])rominent firm and devote liiiiiscif liirgcly to corporation prac- tice. He is recipient aiul sender of a four- cent letter every day. Watch the step ! ! ! I ' lU r Fifty 1917 CxEOlitiE NoKilAX DaNIKLSOX Appleton, Wisconsin Danielson represents the Great North- west in the law school this year. At A] pleton he was Depiity (lerk of Courts 1909-1913, and also Deputy Sheriff 1910- 1914. Passing his state bar in 1916, he was Acting District Attorney for Outaga- mie County last Aiigust, and he intends to run for the office in 1918. He is staunchly Democratic, right to the core, his ambition being to make Outagamie Democratic, although he ad- mits it ' s a right tough jol). Tlie county is overwhelmingly Ee]nd)li( ' an. Imt a Democrat occasionally sli])s in oHicc. Here ' s luck ! ! ! A intense, loyal admirer of Bryan and an assiduous devourer of the Commoner, indicate that he is a man of broad sym- pathies and democratic ideas. Danielson is of that trustworthy, dependable type in whom the voter can put his trust. He says: A successful lawyer should l ive like a hermit and work like a horse. Frederick Micajah Davis $A©;$A ;MC Lynchlnirg, Virginia Fred received his R.A. here in 1!)]4. and stayed out of school a year before tak- ing law.

He intends to follow law in Lyncliburg. and may go in v ith a firm there, for a while at least. Fred is an ardent lover of music, be and his guitar being inseparable companions. Besides his interest in harmonies, he a]j- parently relishes dry bread which he at times in class abstracts from his pocket and eats with gusto. He takes a rather serious view of life. Pii( i ' Fijty-onc Gabriel Eafael de la Haba K 2; A A Santurce, Porto Rico This Senior with the heavenly, artistic name is from a suburb of San Juan, Porto Rico ' s capital and principal seaport. Haba is, however, a Spanish citizen, his parents being Spanish, and his father be- ing the founder and president of the Spanish Club Casa Espana. De la him- self went to school at St. Francis Xavier in Barcelona, Spain, for several years. Having taken some academic work at the University of Porto Rico, he came to this country, and finally came to this school. He intends to follow law for a time at least. He was coxswain of the Albert-Sidney second crew in 1915, and of the first crew in 1916. Both years he guided the boat- men to victory.

In bygone days he went to Richmond College, think- ing he would there get an education. In due time, however, he came to, and came on to Lexington.

That he will get it is a 100 per centum safe bet. Born in New York City, he wandered from place to place in his childhood and finally reached Summit. New Jersey, where he now has his home. Without prejudice. Last year he was captain of the class basket ball team (beaten by the Senior Lawyers only), and has also been on the varsity basket ball and baseball squads. This year he is president of the second year law class. In making high grades our hero shows up very luminously : 94, 94, 94, 95, 95-90, 96, 96, and 97. Dorgeval is of French descent and con- sequently he is full of life and vigor. Moreover, he is very friendly and atfable ; an irradiant smile comes at the slightest provocation. Probably he ' ll practice in New York. S. Emory Durrance Arcadia, Florida Daddy Durrance is the dean of the law class. It was years after he had been in business before he decided to follow the legal profession. Then he chose the right law school. Laying aside all commercial affairs, he is putting all of his energy into the study of law. Durrance was born in Florida, within the town of Arcadia, on Peace River. He is of pure Southern stock and of French descent. In these sylvan surroundings he entered into the commercial world, being in the orange and cattle business for a number of years. He has here been a faithful and steady worker, and we wish for him the best of success in his legal conflicts of the future. He plans to practice with a Jacksonville firm. Those Florida Crackers are going to sit up and take notice.

In earning his A.B. degree last year, he took four academic tickets. Consequently, he has had to take almost the entire law course this year. He will prohably practice business and commercial law in Tampa. What he wishes to be is a cou rt room lawyer, for to him there is a subtle fascination in ad- dressing a jury. In fact, anything that has speechmaking in it interests him hugely. You can gather this from his col- K ' ge honors : Secretary, Debating Coun- cil ; Southern Collegian Staff; Varsity De- hating Team, ' 15, ' 16, and ' 17. He was alternate in 1914.

John Seyheut Hansel M C McDowell, Virginia Hansel ' s home is in Highland County, forty miles northwest from Lexington. He entered in 1911, along with Bob Adams, Glenn Edwards, Fred Davis, Bob Hobson, Side McCord, and Beef Sutherland. Dur- ing his stay of one year he made the gym squad, using the old gym behind Tucker Hall. In 1914 he returned for a year of law, teaching the following year at Mt. Top School in Possum Hollow. Last September he came back for his degree. Evidently his muscles have not lost their cunning, for in the Hoavy (ivni Moot. March 8, he won the modal for skill on the parallel bars. At the December bar oxaiiii nation he passed off three blocks; oidy one roinain unconquered. He expects to ]u-actico in Virginia at some place west of tlio Blur Ridge.

Pii( r Fifly-fivc mm William Eakl Hexsox A © Eoanoke, Virginia We knew the letters to Bill came fre- quently, but most of us did not realize the whole truth. After wearing out the post- office floor for about a year and a half, and walking around preoccupiedly, he was able to wait no longer, fell out with Old Father Time, and got married during the past Christmas holidays in Eoanoke to the prettiest girl in that city. Thus ended a courtship extending over two years; thus is our class afforded an excellent example. Prepared at Augusta Military Academy, Bill started into law without intervening college training. In the early part of 1916 he was forced to leave school on ac- count of sickness, later spending seven weeks in a hospital. Grades: 91, 91, 91, 95. Henson will join forces in Eoanoke with the firm of Jackson and Henson (his father) as junior partner, carrying papers to the courthouse and going across to otlier offices to borrow books.

He took three years of prep, work at Fork Union Military Academy ; then tried electrical engineering at Ga. Tech. for a while. He says that he doesn ' t like engi- neering and quit Tech. on that account. It is, however, reported to us that Tech. was too large for him, so large that he got lost down there. In January, 1915, he entered the law school and Joined forces with us the fol- lowing session. Joe says : I haven ' t the slightest idea in the world where I will practice. He is likely to go into politics and get himself elected as reform mayor of some city. Robert Arthur Jett, Jr. 2 E ; M C Avalon, Virginia Born and reared on a farm in North- umberland County, near the mouth of the Potomac, Bob left the old homeplace for Baltimore and the University of Mary- land. Such hard licks did he put in at that institution that he was presented with an LL.B. degree in 1913. He worked in the financial department of the Balti- more Sun for two years; then associated himself with the Commercial Credit Com- pany, commercial bankers of Baltimore, and travelled the South and Southwest from Maryland to Texas. Last fall he en- tered here in order to familiarize himself with Virginia law preparatory to taking the state bar. He intends to practice in the eastern part of Virginia and will go in with a firm. His experience in the business worl d has made him a wide-awake, energetic man such as will take a proposition and push it through. Bob is a member of the Masonic Club.

McCuiiDY Vernon, Texas McCurdy is the only remaining partner of McGowan and McCurdy, trading as the Texas Pals, which, we are sorry to say, did not continue this year. Mac comes from a cattle and agricultural section right at the foot of the plains. He trav- elled, however, by a circuitous route, stop- ping off five terms at Val paraiso Univer- sity (Indiana) to take academic and pre- paratory law work. He intends to settle somewhere in Northwest Texas, a part of the state which is being very rapidly developed. There is here much litigation growing out of boun- dary, oil, and mineral rights, as large ranches are being divided into small farms. This summer Mac will take post-gradu- ate work at the University of Chicago. McCurdy is a Texan through and through, practical, resolute, tenacious, self-reliant, big-hearted.

Graduating as president of his class, he started in this direction but dropped olT for a two-years ' rest at Emory and Henry. From there he came straight to Washington and Lee in the fall of 1915, and has had less time to rest. After passing the state bar examination in June, Peery, according to his present intentions, will take lodgment in the southeastern part of West Virginia, and will practice in Mercer and McDowell Counties, which are rich in coal and crime. In these counties there are coal mines in every hollow. Fortunately for Peery criminal law is especially attractive to him. This Southwest A irginia must be a fine place. Listen to what Peery says about it : Take me back to old Southwest Virginia, where women are prettiest, where liquor is best, and where the Republicans are su- preme. Charles Given Peters K A; A Union, West Virginia After remaining a year at Randolph- Macon Academy (Front Royal), Charlie chose Hampden-Sidney for his B.A. de- gree. He was much interested in public speaking: won two medals, one for debat- ing, the other for oratory ; and was joint recipient of a silver loving cup for debat- ing. Coming immediately to the law school, he has shown that his tongue has not lost its fluency. He is now president of the class. Contracts, 95-93; 2nd term Pleading, 92 ; 90, 90, 92, 95. He will practice somewhere in Virginia, and plans to go into politics, something he has liked since babyhood. His nickname at Hampden-Sidney was Poli- tician. Charlie is one of the biggest lady-killers in college, is very fond of dancing, and loses his heart and head over every girl he sees, recovering only when he sees the next one. 111?

Later the Peters family moved to Bristol, Virginia (not Tennessee). Petro gradu- ated as president of his class; then re- paired to Emory and Henry for a year ' s further knowledge and learning. It has been stated that Herbert was a sufferer from nostalgia. This would not seem to be true, for he came to the acad- emic department of Washington and Lee the following fall. That year he won the History Department Scholarship. The next year, 1915, he turned to Tucker with these good results: Contracts, 93-95 ; 2nd term Pleading, 92; 90, 90. 90, 91, 94, 97, 97. He contem])lates practicing in Bristol with liis father, a prominent Southwest ' irgiiiia lawyer.

John put in his appearance in 1909 and four years later received his B.A. Thus armed he taught two years, the second year at Greenbrier Presbyterial Military School, from which he had grad- uated as lieutenant-adjutant in 1909. John ' s walk today bears the impress of his military drill. In the student body campaign last spring John was a very active worker, his skillful work as organizer materially help- ing to bring his candidate victory. He might be called the Colonel House of pol- itics, so quietly accomplished he his aim. A self-reliant, independent man, John has a quiet quizzical humor, a preter- naturally sedate air covering a keen sense of the ludicrous, an even-tempered imper- turbability, and a fine sensitiveness to honor and integrity. John last year was Executive Commit- teeman of the class. Grades : 92, 94, 95, 96. Sam Silverstein Charleston, West Virginia In 1914 Sam came to Washington and Lee for law, but has, however, taken much academic work. He and Dave Falk have roomed together in the Dorm, for three years, and from their suite you may occa- sionally hear a mandolin ' s tinkling, for Sam is off and on an ardent performer. The facts are that he is fond of pictures and music, and on Sunday afternoons he and other devotees of art can l)o found assembled in his room. Besides taking a number of long trips during the year, he has been known to enjoy frequent rides to Southern Seiuinarv with Stretch Pratt. Sam Avill go to Columbia this fall to study corporation law for a year. His ambition is to be a mining and oil cor- poration lawyer. Such an opportunity will be opened to him, as he will practice in Charleston, probably with some firm. Grades: 90, 90, 91, 91, 93.

Passing six years in preparatory and college work at Berea College (Central Kentucky), he received the degree of Bachelor of Literature. In the autumn of 1915, after a year out of school, he rode in safety over the railroad bridge at East Lexington and entered Daddy Burks ' Holiest of Holies.

With such youthful aspirations, and with a marked degree of complacence, we listened attentively to Mr. Burks. He warned us against innumerable pitfalls, and ended by impressing upon us the fact that the law library was open from six in the morning till twelve o ' clock at night, and that he had been informed by fairly good students that the best time to do work in the library was in the morning after breakfast, from six-thirty till nine. Of course, all of us have since learned that this is true, for during those hours it is serenely quiet in the library and one studying there is seldom disturbed. Many of our number had often heard of Scylla and Charybdis. We found, however, upon our entry here, that these two fearful menaces, in the legal vernacu- lar, are no other than Contracts and Real Property, respectively. We had also been repeatedly warned against the luring lights and mesmerizing music of the famous Lexington Siren — the Lyric ! Prom a time when the memory of man runneth not to the contrary this dreaded monster has infested the beautiful City of Lex- ington, and many are the tales that are told of youths who have been enticed into her labyrinths never to return. With these premonitions ringing in our ears we began to apply ourselves assiduously to the study of law. The dignified seniors smiled upon us sympathetically. We looked at them and wondered. They were anchored beyond the gale, as we thought, and it was our ambition to attain a similar success. , But alas ! that fateful fifteenth of December — the merciless Scylla, very ruth- lessly, reached out and grabbed us ! For many hours she relentlessly munched and munched ; and when yq were finally able to extricate our mangled minds from her grasp, wi ' were horrilit ' d to learn that about half the class had experienced an inex- pressable shock ! l)iit this is not the whole story, gentle reader — the rest is pleasanter to relate. We learned later that there had loomed up in our midst men of the hour who had broken all previous records for grade making, covered them- selves with glory, and given tlic Ring Tum Phi adequate subject matter for an interesting topic of discussion. Upon (iur return after Christmas Daddy ' Burks again called us together. He brielly tonehed ujion the work of tlie first term — and his brevity regarding that subject was greaMy appreeialrdl With a commendable tribute to our scholastic heroes and consoling words to the rest of us, he bade the class set to work with refreshrd hope and renewed vigor. We thereu])oii resolved to adopt Ulysses ' l ' ii( r Srt ' t ' rily 1917 method, stop up our ears with wax, and heed not the call of the Lexington Siren. So far, the plan has worked successfully. Although we have not yet passed the treacherous Charybdis, we feel confident that none of our luunher will be left on the bone-strewn strand. In Athletics the Junior Law Class has distinguished itself beyond our expecta- tion. Li both football and basket ball our class is reckoned as one of the Generals ' most valuable sources of supply. With modest pride we mention the significant fact that six of the eleven regular football men and three of the basket ball quint were chosen from the Junior Law Class. Thus, we feel that we have left for those who are to come an imitable record. Nor is it amiss to dip into the future far as human eye can see and predict that every member of our class will be heard from, and the names of some emblazoned among the Nation ' s Great. -Historian.

SInill Historian I ' tu r Sfventy-jour HE Class of W17 has tiie distinction of having been the first to enter under ■ J the administration of Dr. H. L. Smith. When the President saw us drop off the train one hy one in the fall of 1913, he was so struck with our pre- possessing appearance that the next day in liis address at the formal opening of the University he spoke of us as the Cream (d ' tlie South. The term has since become a byword on the campus, and many are the classes that have since laid claim to thhe title. We entered 170 strong, but as the years of toil and change have come and gone, many of our classmates have left this town of traditions and now the class of 1917 numbers but forty-two men. Many of our men lia e gone into the Law and Engineering Schools, and are there leading in their work. Of those that remain, we point with pride to their class record for the year 1916-1917 — in the classroom, where we have many men of high records, in athletics, where we carried off the basketball championship; and finally in forensics, where we won the class debates. In our individual work, we have been represented in every branch of athletics for the full four years. In the present year, we have had four men on the Varsity football team, one on Varsity basket ball, four in track, and two in l)asel)all. We have the captaincy of football, baseball and two crews. We l)oast with pride of Varsity managers of football, basket ball, baseljall. track and rww. Scholastically, four of our men have an average of ninety for tiie four years of our history. Socially, we have always been prominent, and in all campus activities the class of 1917 has made its influence felt. As to the future, our members are going to enter the highest of modern occupa- tions. Ten will take up medicine, ten law, five banking, two chemistry, one U. S. Consular service, two Christian work, seven Business, and only seven are undecided as to their life work. Thus runs the record of the Academic Class of 1917. It is a class that filled with loyalty to Washington and Lee, has done all in its power to keep her pure traditions unsullied, and that will in the future strive to widen still further tht broad dimensions of service that have been set by her great Alumni. Paffe Seventy-fi ' ve iiii George Holbkook Barber 13 Club ;2;2AE;nAN;®NE; M C Brooklyn, N. Y. We start otf witli the only real distin- guished member of the class, George Hol- brook Barber. Why this exalted position ? Because he is the only one of us that has already Uiunched on the sea of matrimony. Brooks hails from Yankeeland and came to Washington and Lee back in the forgotten good old days. After capturing all the social honors here he was out of school for several years. In 1916 he came back to the campus and has been primarily a stu- dent these last two years. Brook prepped at Poly Preparatory School and after- wards attended the Polytechnic Institute, both of New York City. Columbia will have the honor of training him in Medi- cine for the next four years. A member of the Cotillion Club, Masonic Club, 13 Club, and other social organizations show US that Barber has been a very popular man on the campus. During the last two vears his grades have been the very high- est. Henry Jackson Blackford S E; @ A K Bordone, W. Va. Blackie prepped at the Charlcstowu, High School, Charlestown, .

Pat r Sri ' cnty-si.y 1917 John WrniKus Blake Tampa, Fla. If we had to pick out the liardest worker in the class we woiikl more than likely present John Witliers Blake. He tells us that he was horn July 27, 1895, in Tampa, Fla., and that he finished at the Hillsboro High School in 191-i. In Sep- tember of the same year he came to Wash- ington and Lee to get his preparation for the study of Medicine. He has become such a familiar figure in all the labora- tories that we are not surprised that he makes good grades. Blake is going up to Johns Hopkins next year to study Medi- cine and all those picked men, that they claim to have, will have to hustle if tliey keep up with him, because he says that he is going to work for sure when he gets there. Adrian Harris Boyd K2; C C; 13 Club ; 2; n A N Covington, Tenn. Adie ' ' is a Tennesseean by birth. Yes, and the date of his birth ? Ah ! that ac- counts for his strong character, January 19, 1896. He graduated from the Byars Hall High School, and entered Washing- ton and Lee in 1913, taking the course known to all good students as the cam- pus course and for four long years has labored toward the attainment of a degree. Boyd did not permit his studies to take too much of his time as is shown by his college activities.

Back ill the last years of the 19th cen- tury, October the 4th, 1895, to be exact, William Henry Brandon made his debut on this terrestial globe. It took only a few years for the village school to find out that Bill was a very talented youth. Thus he was sent to the Haynes McLean Train- ing School and then to the Mooresville Training School. Naturally, with such preparation, a good college must be se- lected, so one day Bill happened to meet Noble Doak on the old cross road and in a few moments his fate was settled. Since he landed here he has been a hard worker but has not failed to make many friends, and is one of the best known and best liked men in college. Always out for every class team and the varsity — even though he has always carried one of the hardest courses in college — he lias revealed to all of us the generous and unselfish character that he possesses. Edward Parry Browning, Jr. K A Maysville, Kentucky Judge was born and raised in the famous blue grass state, appearing in this great world September 23, 1895, at Mays- ville, Ky. Altliough born in a state noted for its liquor, beautiful women and fast horses. Judge sliies from the first two and would make a spectacle upon the last. Still, he has the old Kentucky Colonel Air to a remarkable degree. He has al- ways been a consistent student, and un- (li)ul)tedely will carry away a sheepskin in June. He expects to make law his life- work. Here ' s hoping that he may be able to retain the Judge 1)efore his name without the quotation marks. Pa( f Srvi ' iily-fii lit s- zrrs 1917 William Olin Burtnek OAK Harrisonburg, Va. Burt says that he may go into pol- itics, and judging from the forensic fame that he has won in the halls of old Wash, we predict success for him in the stump speech line. After a four years ' term at the Harrisonburg High School, he took passage on the toiling B. 0. for Lexington. While at W. L., Burt has been a student in the true sense. He is taking his degree in three years with a preponderance of A ' s. Unlike many sharks, Burt frequently visits the gym, where he has made quite a name for him- self as a wrestler. He will return next year for his Master ' s degree. Sophomore Debating Team, 1916; Senior Debating Team, 1917; Debater in Annual Cele- bration of Wash.

Rickey is one of the best known men in the class, and has been foremost in the social life of college but has not quit at this. In athletics he has always been a hard worker, holding a trident in basket ball and doing faithful service in baseball. Burton says he is go- ing to be a l)anker.

About 31 years ago, somewhere in Vir- ginia, the announcement was made that Joseph Eichard Campbell had come to brighten the village. But this small town proved too small and slow to hold this am- bitious youngster, and just as soon as he finished the High School at Marion, Va., he had his parents move to Pennsylvania. Washington and Lee campus was graced by his countenance for the first time in September, 1913. Campbell is an easy- going fellow and has not taken a very active part in college activities, but his democratic spirit and open friendliness has won for him a host of friends. Dick says that he has not decided what he will do after graduation, but war permitting we are sure that he will be a success in whatever line of work that he takes up. Jackson I-Josse Collins Centreville, Md. Jackson first hailed the world December IT, 1894. lie comes from Centreville, Md., and has always retained his Eastern Slio ' brogue. Jackson got his preparatory education at the Centreville High School and then decided that he would enter the best school in the South, so he came to W. L. in 1914. Since then Jackson has been given much to work and little to jilay but it has failed to make Jack a dull hoy, for when there are any grades to be bad he generally gets them. Jackson has gotten his degree in three years which is |)r )of that he has not idled much time. In t]u J ' hysics Department he has made (|uite a name for himself, and we are sure that lie is fully prepared for any emer- LM ' iKy in life, because in this department It i.s the case of the survival of the fittest, .lackson has won so much fame in old Wash.

While you would never suspect it this young •wan is a pig. For further refereiU ' C look lie- low. l nt cnntent with hitting the In- tellectual bull ' s-eye tor four years, Billy is habitually shocking the finer suscepti- bilities of the faculty by his editorials, tlu ' ])idilic by his lack of decorum, and the visiting young ladies by his dancing. What he will do is undetermined, hut he will probably niake engineering his ]irofession.

A ® Cuthbert, Georgia Robert Glen Craig says that September 29, 1897, is the most important date that can be recorded so far as it concerns him ; and that Cuthbert, Georgia, is honored to call him her son. Craig is one of the most widely known men in college, although he has been with us only two years, having taken two years of college work at Marion Institute, Marion, Alabama. He is an excellent student as is proved when we tell you that he makes the very best grades on Dr. Hoyt ' s unreasonable Biology 2 and on Dr. Stevens ' Physics L In spite of all the hard work that he has taken Craig has fouiul tinu ' to go out for every class team. Ptifff Eit lity- iSMts Archie Edward Cruthirds Handsboro, Miss. Two-Thirds, as he is known by his initmate friends, is one of our most dili- gent workers. He first kicked the cradle in Handsboro, Mississippi, about twenty- two years ago. After finishing at the Gulfport High School, Two-Thirds en- tered Washington and Lee in 1914 and found the work so interesting and easy that he decided to finish in three years. He is a member of the Graham-Lee Lite- rary Society, having held various officers therein. He will return next year to take his M.A. After that, he expects to study law or medicine. Whether he harangues a jury or helps the undertaker, we expect Cruthirds to make a success, for someone — probably Granny Campbell — has told us that the world likes the diligent worker. John Levering Early Staunton, Va. This erudiate scholar was born at Staunton, Virginia, on December 19, 1896. After graduating from the Staun- ton High School, he spent several years at Asbury College, N. C. While there, he excelled in the realm of Demosthenes. In the fall of 1916, John came via the Valley S]H ' ciMl to Ticxiiigtoii. Since entering Washington and Lee, he lias made a record for himself not only on the rostrum but on tlie Intellectual Gridiron as well, hold- ing a place on Dr. Smith ' s honor list.

In his early youth he gained beauty of physique and a rare quality of determination in overcom- ing the 999 hills of Lynchburg. Later, he entered the Augusta Military Aca- demy, and having graduated thence with honors, arrived at Lexington in tlie fall of 1913. Ever striving for the better- ment of Washington and Lee, Heine soon won his place in the hearts of all. One remarkable thing about our hero is that he never — no, never — mixes in campus politics. His honors are : His- torian, Sophomore Class; Advertising- Manager, Calvx, 191.-); Calvx Staff. ' 17; Ring turn Phi Staff, ' 15- ' 16- ' 17; Secretary, Student Bodv, ' 16; Y. M. C. A.

John Bonner Gladney A T ; n A N ; C C ; 13 Club New Orleans, La. John Bonner Gladney was born March 30, 1895, in Bastrop, La., but has lived in New Orleans since 1913. Bonner at- tended the Morehouse High School and Rugby Academy in New Orleans. Since entering Washington and Lee he has been a leader in nearly every phase of college life. Gladney has taken an active part in track and managed the Varsity track team in 1916- ' 17. In his class he has done his part, having held various offices and repre- sented ' 17 in almost every team. He ex- pects to study law and we are confident of his success.

He gives the impression of still water running deep. After graduating at the William and Mary Prep. School he entered Eoa- noke College. He soon became weary of the modernness of the magic city and returned to traditions and a historic past at William and Mary College. Cecil did not find the infatuation so great as he had thought as some things had happened — for his malady moon- shine is not an antidote. He entered Washington and Lee for his senior work, having done the most of his under- graduate work at William and Mary. He has proved himself a diligent and capable student. Edgar Frederick Grossmax T C; A K; M C St. Augustine, Fla. Gross ' ' had made so many trips across the ocean before he turned up at Wash- ington and Lee that all the Freshmen thought him a native son of the Father- land, but actually he was born in St. Augustine, Fla., and has always made that liis home. Gross had had his finger in more than one pie since he came here. Not only in the classroom has he been heard from but on the Gym floor as well. No man has done more for the good of his class and Alma Mater than Gross : he has given several years ' service in training the Freshmen in the various exercises in the gvmnasium.

This cheerful siiecimen is one of the most familiar and distinctly individual men on the campus. Bill is, indeed, the • ' Rah, Kah, Willie college boy, that we hear so much about, for he holds the ex- alted position of student cheer leader. Born in Atlanta, Georgia, five years be- fore the dawn of the twentieth century. Bill was a victim of the Wanderlust and landed in Roanoke, Va. There he grew in manhood and vigor, and having com- pleted the local high school course, came to Washington and Lee in the fall of 1913. Since then he has led an active life on the campus and won not a few friends. Cheer Leader, ' 17; Three in Harry Lee Boat, ' 16; and Crew Manager, ' 16- ' 17. Thomas Rowan Hamilton Okolona, Miss. September, 1913, brought to W. L. another man from the far south, Thomas Rowan Hamilton. Tommy gives Okolona. Mississippi, as the place of his birth and September 21, 1896, as the date. He is a graduate of the Houston High School, Houston, Miss. Since entering college Tommy has followed several lines of study and even now at graduation has not de- cided on what line of work he will take up. He has been one of Dr. Easter ' s stand-bys in French and succeeded in car- rying off the English Scholarship in ' 15- ' 16. Tommy is a loyal member of old Wash. Literary Society in which he has held various positions. Next to studying Chaucer ' s Miller ' s Tale, his chief di- version is the Lvric. Peu f Eiyhty-five 1S17 Morris Hamlet Hester Lynchburg, Va. Born in Alabama, June 30, 1894, but has spent most of his life in Lynchburg, Va., is the way Morris Hamlet Hester tells us the whereabouts of his life. Hester is one of those few men who are willing to work hard enough to get their degree in three years. He tells lis that he is a member of the Lynchburg Club but we could have inferred that, because we never see him that he is not with at least three Hill City boys. Everyone that is acquainted with Hester will agree that a more genial friend could not be found. Law is his chosen field of work, and con- fidentially we will tell you that he is go- ing to locate in his own home town, not only because it is the richest city for its size in the country but primarily because it is the temporary residence of so many pretty girls from which to pick a partner. Of course we know that he finished at the Lynchburg High School. Samuel Palmer Hileman Kerrs Creek, Va. Let us introduce you to another Doctor of Medicine, Samuel Palmer Hileman of Kerrs Creek, Va. Palmer got his prepar- atory education at the Riverside High School, at Rockbridge Baths, and entered V. Ti. in 1!)13. Since then he has siienv most of his time in the laboratories of the ITniversity. Winning the Biology Schol- arship in ' 14- 15, he has kept up this good record in all of his science studies. He is Secretary and Treasurer of the Cliem So- ciety and is an assistant in Organic Cliem- istry. Palmer expects to enter a nu ' dieal school next year and we will l)e surprised if be does not h ' ad his class. He is one • t ' tb( best arguments we have against the • ' rah I ml) I conception of the college man. P„ ,, ' ! i ' ji.iy- Curtis Caklyle Humphris Lexington, A ' a. Curtis Carlyle Humphris is proud that he can claim Northeast Lexington as tlie place of his nativity. Born October 30, 1895, and prepared for college at the Lex- ington High School, he entered W. L. in 1913. Living on the very banks of North River it is natural that Curtis should become quite an oarsman. He held down the bow of the victorious Albert Sidney Varsity boat. Curtis has taken an active part in all class teams and has rep- resented ' 17 in football and basket ball every year. Humphris is taking a B.A. degree and has specialized in commerce ; he expects to go in business as his lifi work. Curtis has been: President of Al- bert Sidnev Boat Club, ' 16- ' 17; Varsitv Crew, ' 16; ' 2nd Crew, ' 15, ' 16; Class Bas- ket Ball, ' 15, ' 16, ' 17; Manager Class Basket Ball Team, ' 16; Vice-President, Rockbridge Club. Homer Augustus Jones r A Bristol, Va. This promising young adjunct of the commerce department first saw the light of day in 1896, Bristol, Va., being the favored of the locality. He picked up his preliminary education in the Bristol High School. In 1913 he entered Washington and Lee, and admiring tln ' scholarly aspect of the members of the registration committee, he imme- diately set out to put a few dents in the honor roll himself. His subsequent efforts have been largely devoted to that end and with such success that ever since then he has been able to persuade the com- mittee on scholarships to excuse him from the payment of tuition. During the past session he has held the assistantship in the Commerce Department. Noisv expects to settle in Bristol ami there masquerade as a l)anker while ac- ■ ' iring possession of the town.

Sugarcane is not the only sweet export of Louisiana — look at the subject of this. He was first heard of on the evening of the seventh of August, 1895. Jimmie is the oldest man of the new type. He came to W. L. in 1912 and is the only man to have the honor of being both the President and Vice-President of the Senior Class — this was accomplished only by a strict ad- herence to Dr. S Stevens ' curve. A politician of a unique type as is shown by the various offices that Jimmie has held. His constant smile has been amply re- warded by the honors he has been awarded : Assistant ill Chemistry, ' 15, ' 16, 17; Class Football, three years; Treasurer, Historian, Vice-President, and President of his class ; various committees for dances ; and President of the Chemical Society, ' 15- ' 16. Jimmie is already quite noted as a Chemist and naturally he ex- jiects to take up Chemistry as liis life work. John Alexander Mahoney, Jr. r A He really was born in Greenville, Tenn., although to hear him talk one would think that he had spent all his life at Emory and Henry. As a child he was very quiet but the Bristol High School soon showed him to be a genius in the use of words. After careful deliberation his fond parents decided to send this youthful prodigy to Emory and Henry, And lo ! iji Septem- ber, 1916, the sacred halls of Washington and Lee were startled by a sound half- way between a laugh and a bray and Johnnie had arrived here. While here he has spent his time trying to prove that what is isn ' t and that ' what isn ' t, is.

It is true, for since this young West Virginian entered Washing- ton and Lee in the fall of 1912, larger and larger tasks have fallen into his capable hands as the years have passed by. Last 3 ' ear he managed in excellent style the famous team that gave Cornell an ex- tremely uncomfortable feeling on her own field. This year, besides being of valuable assistance to Manager Waters in the building of the 1917 schedule, Bob has been active in many things. He led the beautiful Durbar Hall Masque. He has done valuable service on the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet. Among the many honors de- servedly received by this young Atlas are : Executive Committee, ' 12- ' 13 ; Manager Freshman Football Team; President Sophomore Class; Assistant Manager, Calyx, ' 14; Manager, Football Team, ' 15; Member Y.

Patif Eitihty-niite 1117 Robert Bruce Morrison Murat, Va. This is to introduce you to another product of Rockbridge County. Born at Murat, Va., November 14, 1895, he has passed most of his life in this end of the .Shenandoah Valley. Bruce has a distinct advantage over the rest of the students, in that he is the son of the sheriff. He tells us that he got all his preparatory work at the Murat High School and that he en- tered the University in the fall of 1913. If you have ever been up the main street of Lexington you are sure to have seen him, because most of his spare moments are spent at Waylands. As a side line, Bruce is quite a shark at suicide. This is the summary that Morrison has given us : Have played class football and basket ball and have interested myself in all activ- ities intended for the good of the class and the university. After studying law he expects to go into business. Alexander Gallatin Paxton, Jr. K A ; n A N ; C C ; 13 Club ; O A K Greenville, Miss. Behold the Manager ! ' Galla was born in the fall of the year of our Lord 1896 in that town of Civil War fame, known as Vicksburg, Mississippi. After graduating from the Greenville High School in June of 1913, he entered Washington and Lee, and straightway endeared himself to every man on the cam])us. It is Galla ' s motto to have many friends, and his popularity has not been dimmed by even his work of collecting simoleons for the Calyx, and we believe that the public will admit tliat tluit means quite a bit. Galla tells us that in tlie near future his life work will W ' that of High Private in Rear Ranks. l)ut that should he escape the Kaiser ' s Kultur, he will eventually go into the cot- ton business. His honors are in part: Football Team, ' 16; Secretary, Athletic Council, ' ITi- ' Hi; President, Junior Class; Basket Ba ' 17; Leader, ( iptam, Cliis Intcr-Fr iitcrnitv Dance, ' 17; and Man- au ' cr of Cnlvx, ' 17. 1917 Keith Chilton Rice Morristown, Tenn. A. D. November 7, 1894, is tlie date when Keith C. Kice made his entrance into the society of Morristown, Tcnn. He came to W. L. in 191-i after finishing at the Morristown High School. Rab- bit, as he is called by everyone that knows him, is an excellent student and succeeds in keeping on the right side of the list when it comes to grades. In Or- ganic Chemistry he became famous as the only real shark, being the only man to make A in the entire class. K ' alil)it has already had his application acceiilcil at Johns Hopkins and expects to enter there next year. We expect great things from him because, as he savs, he was not given that Vel)ster -like head for no ])urv)osL ' . While liere Rice has hccii a member of the Mandolin Club, and the Chemical Society. Ernest Clay Shull Winchester, Va. Fats, the heavyweight of the class, was born on the Cedar Creek battle ground near Winchester, Virginia, some twenty-three years ago. As for the date, it was August 17. After graduating from the Winchester center of knowledge, ho migrated South like all other birds do in the fall and the opening day of 1913- ' ll found him here at W. L. Right here he has been ever since. Although we do not find his name on the intellectual grid- iron, it is understodd that Dr. Smith consults him, even on the most confiden- tial matters concerning the management of the institution. But besides having so great a responsibility on his shoulders he has found time to indulge in college ac- tivities : Class Football, three years ; Bas- ket Ball, one year; Historian of the Se- nior Class; Membe r of the Final Ball Reception Committee; and Senior Ball Invitation Committee. We regret very much that Fats will not be back next year but we are sure of his success wher- ever he might be. He expects to study medicine at the University of Berlin. Page Ninety-aiie Edward Simpson Smith A K Frederick, Md. Smitty was reared in Frederick, Maryland, claiming that February 2, 1896, was the date of his birth. After completing the course at the Boys ' High School in Frederick, he entered W. L. Smitty has done as much for the glory of ' 17 as any other man in it. As a debater and student he has always stood out em- inently. After teaching a year he ex- pects to study law at the University of .Maryland. Besides his B.A. Smith gets a certificate in commerce.

CllAULES TJiDDLE StRIBLIXG, Jr. «! r A; n A N Petersburg, Va. Cliarles made his entrance into life at Berryville, Va., and gives the year as 1897. For a time he rested in the high schools (if Waiiesboro niid Petersburg, but came here in I! l;i to stcc]) his mind in classic lore while ghiddcning the hearts of the -iris of Lexington. That he has won the ' .lames White ' Scholarshi|) for i)rolicien( ' v in advanced (ireek is sullieient testimony to his success in his lirst endeavor. .Vs to what he will do he says he is undecided. Charlie is President of the Harry Lee Boat Club this year; and has been on the Caly.x Staff; and on the Harry Lee Second Crew for the i)ast two years, l)ut he will be a wearer of the nioiiotrram after this season. l ' ti f Nhu ' ly-t ' wo MARSHALIi GOUDOX TwYMAX I 2 X ; W F Fincastle, Va. Marshall Gordon Twyman says that he made Fincastle, Va., famous on Septem- ber 10, 1893. Twyman had ambition to be a sailor, so after he had finished at the Fincastle High School, he tried his luck at the Army and Navy Preparatory School but due to some eye trouble he was un- able to gain admittance in the Naval Academy. So after staying out of school for two years he came to Washington and Lee and has been a well-known figure here for the last three years. Twyman is the first man to tell us that he expects to be a farmer, and we are not so sure that he has not chosen the best life of any of us, and if the prices stay where they are now certainly it will be a profitable calling. On the campus and in all social activities he has become a well known figure and has made many friends here that will re- gret his not coming back to W. L. next year. Jesse Boring Wadsworth, Jr. A T n; W F; C C; 13 Club Birmingham, Alabama A. D. 1895 marks the date of Jesse ' s nativity. Our hero comes from Bir- mingham, Alabama. After finishing at the Birmingham Training School, Jess went to Birmingham Prep, and thence to Wash- ington and Lee in 1913. Since then, his life has testified to the truth of his motto : Try to do a little of everything and do it well. Football Squad. ' 13. 11, ' 15; Varsity, ' 16; Basket Ball Squad, ' 14, ' 15.

If we were to pick out one thing in which Ted stands out prominently, it would be as a business man. During his stay at W. L. he has always been in some sort of managerial work. From the above we might think that this was his only voca- tion but we would be Avrong, for as a social leader he stands out prominently. Ted prepped at S. M. A. and entered Washington and Lee in the fall of 1913. Waters was manager of one of the best teams that we have ever had. He has also been a member of the Athletic Council. Law is his chosen field of work, and we can feel sure that he has a successful career before him. William Calvin Wells K 2 Wilmington, North Carolina Billy was born November 1, 1896, in the nearby town of Staunton. Later, he migrated to Wilmington, N. C, where he received his prep school training in the local high school. After spending two years at Millsaps College, Jackson, Mis- sissippi, Billy could stand it no longer and decided to come to a regular school. Accordingly, he entered Washington and Lee in the fall of 1915. It was not long before Billy made his presence felt, and he soon made many good friends. Con- sidering the short time that he has been in Lexington, he has taken hold of many campus activities and has acquitted him- self well in all. lie expects to go into the iidy of the law at Harvard University. While we hate to lose Billy, we wish him the best of luck and liave not the slight- er- doubt that success awaits him. Class Football.

Born here in the famous ' ' city of Lexington and living under the wonder- ful influence of the Preshyterian Church it is no wonder that he has managed to grow up to be a model young man and student, as is shown by his ability to get his B.A. degree in three years. As a Suicide player his equal can hardly be found. White expects to be a banker; let us hope that he will locate here so he can honor some of the numerous checks that are passed at McCrums that might be just a little bit overdrawn. Confldently Jim was born on December 21, 1897, and was prepared for college at the Lexington High School. Jim is a member of the Harry Lee Boat Club and has rowed on the second crew last season, he also is a member of the Glee Club. Rogers Mills White Waverly, Va. Let us introduce you to Roger Mills White, a man who has been with us only one year. White was born in Waverly, Va., on October 6, 1895. He went to tlie Waverlv High School and afterwards to El on College. At Elon, White soon be- came noted as an orator and debater, and since entering W. L. has kept up his good record and is recognized as one of the best public speakers in college. Al- though not known by many men, yet those who do know him can testify that he is a fine fellow and that we will always be glad that he came to W. L. Law is the field to which he has chosen to devote his talents, and with his pleasing personality nnd fine preparation we feel confident of his success. Pacie Ninety-five 1117 siinBii Thomas Preston White A T A; C C Lexington, Va. Another illustrious alumnus of the Lex- ington High School and one of the very few home town boys to have the honor of presiding over the Freshman Class. After an interspersatory career at Wash- ington and Lee Pres takes his B.A. de- gree in June. At one time White gave up the coveted sheepskin and entered the realms of a promising business career as a manufacturer of powder at Hopewell. On becoming less sure of his sway he chucked the powder sinicure in the midst of international war and came home to more effectively and pleasureably protect his own interests — if needs be to wage an aggressive warfare on one and a defensive war on all interlopers. According to all signs Preston will most admirably per- petuate the work started by his father. George Raymond Womeldorf Lexington, Va. Womely first saw the light of the sun — let us use Railroad Ruff ' s expression — in the very shadow of old House Moun- tain. All this occurred September 4, ]894. How so fine a farm product grew from the limestone soil of Rockbridge is more than we can understand. Even Phutphut ' s botany sharks can not explain it. George took his ])reparatory work at the famous Lexington High School, where his fine progress convinced his father that Womely was cut out for something more conspicuous than the tilling of the soil. Hence, in the fall of 1913, he entered W. L. For four years his cheery smile has been an inspiration to all. George has religious inclinations, and expects to preach the gospel to the House Mountain- eers. While ill college, he has been a faith- ful member of the Graham Lee Literary Society, flic Y. M. G.

' 3, when the bell in the old belfry of Washington build- ing pealed ont notes assembling the students, both old and new, of Wash- ing! on and Lee in the Chapel for the formal opening of the 1913- ' 14 scholastic year, it marked the ])eriod of a new regime and a new ad- ministration. Among tho men of that body were a number that were to become leaders in scholastic woik and in all ' airs of the campus while in school and who will doubtless become leaders in the business and commercial world. Jn til ' department of Engineering there were fifty men to matriculate but many hn ■ clinnged to I aw or Academic work. Men who were more inclined to literary rather llian technical training have made these changes, but the men who have remained have by this time become quite proficient in the different branches of cngineciirg; cheniical. ciNil, and electrical, and w( feel justly proud of the remain in;: few.

Fish expects to enter the Marine Corps service and in the near future we will be reading of the doings of Admiral Fisher. James H. Forbes A X P Alton, 111. We have before us and in our midst in this 20th century a regular Sir Isaac New- ton, in all likeness and ability in the per- son of one James H. Forbes, of Alton. 111. Jimmie attended Alton High School and in 1913 entered this institution of many heroes and traditions, and immediately started to show the boys something. Sev- eral times he has been awarded a position on the Intellectual (xridiron. He cap- tured the Physics Scholarship in ' 15- ' 16, and at present is taking all of the Engi- neering courses so that he can get a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry.

Hagan is a natural born Southern product coining- from the Me- tropolis of the Soutli. On January 5, 1896, H. T. was introduced into this good old world. In his younger days, when he was preparing for college, Hagan took a course at Tech. High School, At- lanta, thus laying the solid foundation for his scientific career. After having been loyal to his own state and attending Geor- gia Tech. for one year he entered Wash- ington and Lee in 1914, and will get his Bachelor of Science degree from here in June. Hagan expects to enter the firm of Ha- gan Dodd Co., in Atlanta, and become a syrup manufacturer. He says that many things contain sweet things beside sugar cane and with the great knowledge of chemistry that he has he is going to show the boys a few things. Edward Lee Hix Lynchburg, Va. Here is another product of the Hill City and a velly goot one, too. Hickie says that the Lynchburg High School claims him as one of their finished Ijroducts. He entered Washington and Ijee in 1914 and immediately started his tasks in the test tube brigade, and has been doing research work ever since, if it is not in the line of atoms or molecules it is trying to find out the balmy fluid that Cupid tips his darts with. He has taken up a difficult subject but Ave are sure that be will carry it through if what he says is true, becaiise he leads one to believe that be is (|uite a lady charmer. Hickie is one of tliose three-year men, getting his Bachelor of Science degree this year.

He attended the Lex- ington High School ; Arms Academy ; and Mr. Hermon Boys ' School, Mass., before entering Washington and Lee in 1913. Since that time lie has been striving for a Bachelor of Science degree which he will receive in June. Pick is very quiet and demure but is a ' hale fellow, well met. He has served his class well in the fol- lowing offices : Treasurer of the Sopho- more Class, and A ' ice-President of the Se- nior Science Class. He is also a member of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, and the Pi Alpha Nu ribbon society, also the S. P. I. S.

Mariox Suttox Saxdeks $ T A ; n A N ; C C Wytheville, Virginia The philosophers of old have said that a sunbeam couldn ' t be hidden forever and we find that their sayings are only too true, for we have an exam])le of such in our midst in the person of Marion (Ped) S. Sanders, of Wytheville, Va. Red claims June 23. 1896, as the time of his birth and Roanoke, Va., as the place. He attended public school and Berwick School in Wytheville, and in the fall of 1913 he entered upon his arduous duties at W. L. As the result of his labors he will be awarded a Bachelor of Science degree. Red has been very popular on the cam- pus and with the Belles of Lexington, and is also very popular with the visitors that happen in for the Hops. ' ' Marion is a memljer of the I r A and IT A N fra- ternities ; the Cotillion Club ; Southwest Virginia Club, and is Secretary of the Senior Science Class. Red expects to become an Electrical Engineer, and his ambitions will doubtless be fulfilled for when the lad gets angry he surely makes the sparks fly. I ' liiic Our liundvcA one David Walters Thorxbueg Martinsburg, W. Va. Ikey was born on March 36, 1895, in the city of Martinsburg, W. Va., and en- tered Washington and Lee in 1913. He lias always been of a scientific turn of mind, and so chose a Bachelor of Sci- ence, in Engineering, for the goal of his ambition. His list of achievements are indeed voluminous, and in every field of cam- )us activity will be found his college triumphs, showing that in David Thorn- burg, Washington and Lee has a well rounded man. Some of his achievements are as fol- s : Sophomore Assistant Football, ' 14- ' 15; Assistant Business Manager, South- ern Collegian, ' 14- ' 15; All-Class Basket Ball Team, ' 14- ' 15; Albert Sidnev, 2nd crew.

Born in North Carolina, November 1, 1895, he migrated north and stopped at Lynchburg, Va., long enough to finish the High School course, and in the fall of 1913 he began his career here.

Furnee The Netherlands When you see a high hat with its usual accessories coming and a monocle pro- truding on the nether side, it is a safe bet that the Duke approaches. He took his R.A. degree at the University of the Hague (Holland) in 1907. Feeling some of tho same spirit that inspired Columbus he immediately sailed the ocean blue. In Se])tember, 1916, Duke came to W. L. to expose himself to the whys and wherefores of the consular service in tlicory. His geniality has won him many fast ' friends on the cam])us and in the village. He is gifted with unusual man- agerial al)ility as was shown in the recent Laskct i)all emulations, but even the Irish have ceased to pose as the magicians.

This old bell called to the classroom the usual number of new men anxious to solve the mysteries of campus life as well as an adeouate number of their elders who are always willing to help them with their p:oblens. Mingied with this iiiercv crowd one might have noticed grave seniors and hurrying lawyers with their voluminous burdens. The casual observer of this heterogeneous crowd of seekers after knowledge has seen long ago the representa- tives of the class of nineteen hundred and eighteen. He has, however, refrained from mentioning the fact until now because he wishes to tell the story of these individuals and their class. When one begins to count the members of the Junior Class he may be surprised at the rather small number which has survived the battle against various hindrances during the last two years. But my friend must remember that while this class was young and numerous it furnished its share of athletes and won its share of honors. But now, since so much of its youthful blood has been lost, extraordinary achieve- ments should not be expected of the Junior Class. One may form a very faint conception of the merits of this class from a careful perusal of the following brief sketch of Its members since last September. The Junior Class is well represented on the staff of the three publications, fur- nishing managers for two of them. Its members are to be found on both the intellectual and football gridirons where they have won distinction. On the latter were Pierotti, Sorrells and Graham, who held positions on the varsity as well as Ramcy, Watts and others among the scrubs. The Juniors again appeared in the limelight when they humbled the husky Seniors in the inter-class football struggle. Because of the inability of the managers to obtain the requisite number of suits at the scheduled time, the game for the championship with the Sophomores was cancelled ])y mutual agreement. Therefore, while neither class can claim prece- dence in football, the Juniors were at least scheduled to fight for it. In bnsket ball and in social functions the Juniors continue to be prominent. During the past season, on the iloor of Doremus Gymnasium, Merce and Al again won distinction in upholding and increasing the prestige of the White and Blue and indirectly, that of the White and Red, the colors of the Junior Class. The v,nv tarnished spot on the blazing escutcheon of the class is its defeat in basket Ijall liy llic Seniors who greatly outweighed the Junior Team and had the ad- vai!ta ' .rcs of a larger amount of practice and better team work. The silver lining of this cloud is the fact that the team upheld the honor of the class to the best of its ability by bravely fighting a losing battle to its unsatisfactory close. As to their ability as entertainers, the members of the class refer with pleasure to the many fair ones who have attended the college festivities from time to time, including the Prom in February. To prove that it also has some musical talent the Junior Class merely points with pride to Arnold, Rice, Sorrells, Vance and others who have amply shown their ability. Now, it is not exactly fair to judge the Junior Class entirely by this brief chronicle, for there are necessarily a number of omissions due to limited space or carelessness. Feeling that it has at least contributed its small mite to the honor and glory of Washington and Lee, and hoping to do more for her in the future, the Junior Class is most sincere in its wish that she may grow and prosper con- tinuing to lead hundreds of future generations in the paths of knowledge and up- right manhood as she has most faithfully led the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Eighteen. — Historian.

' equals i ophoinores; but it happens that in Greek sophos means tvise and mores means fools. We do not mind the first, but we cannot endure the last half of our derivation. Does it look like we are a bunch of mores when fortv per cent of the intellectual gridironists were sophomores? From the first time that the individual members of this class backed into Lexington two years ago, we have let the University know that we were up and doing. If by chance you should ask for proofs of this statement let me ask you a few questions. Do you know who won the push-ball fight in 1915 and again in 1916? Who was it that won the inter- class football in 1915 and in 1916? Who was it that won the interclass basket ball in 1916? Who first started a class memorial fund at W. L. ? Who first used the Doremus Gymnasium for gym classes? Who saw to it that this year ' s Freshmen should continue to entertain the town with their musical voices? Say, it was the Sophomores, the class of 1919, to whom everyone looks when recruits are needed for any branch of college activity. We are and always have been willing to do our share whether it be work or play, for such is the spirit of Washington and Lee. Peale, Powell, and Johnson backed up the cross-country team. Cromwell, Glad- ney, and Henke have shown themselves worthy of our class in track; while Crom- well, Fain, Moore, Till and Mears represented us on the football field. Wilson was on the inter-collegiate debating team. McMurray holds the record of never getting below an A on a term grade. Blocker has ably led the class in all its activities and, owing to that leadership and the faithful work of the Treasurer, the Sophomore Cotillion was a decided success. Other members have shown themselves to be faithful workers, but space prevents too detailed an enumeration of their activities and honors. Our class is not as large as last year because so many of our number have been forced to stop school or have taken up Law. We regret that their names do not appear on our class roll. We have guided this year ' s Freshmen in the paths of righteousness, and we have endeavored to instill in them the sense of tlu ' respon- sibilities which they assume upon matriculating at Washington and Lee. We clearly appreciate the strain ])hiced upon the conseiences of some historians in the fulfillment of their duties, but we wish to commend the individual ineTiihers ni ' the 191!) class for the many activities in whieh they have siieeeeded mid f.ir the wealth of material furnished our historian.

Child Historian Pa( i- One hundred fifteen 1S17 l tfitorg nf t t flilafia of ' 20 T|- E look back over a space of only a few months to the date on which the ■ class of ' 20 entered the campus of Washington and Lee. A noble crowd 11 they appeared from the first, but little was it thought that they would compose the powerful class that is now to be remembered as the class of ' 20. The class began its successful and notable career by organization. Those men were made officers who were thought to possess the greatest amount of ability as class leaders and workers, and their faithful service has revealed the wise insight of the class. In all meetings, the class has manifested an ardent class spirit and a remarkable power to perform as a unit. The class has shown that its interests are for the greater prosperity of the university, and that their desire and purpose has been to promote these interests. E ' Ut this is looking at the class from its own point of view. A better test of the freshman class is from the sopohomore point of view. Of course we did not ask the sophomores what they thought of us ; even freshmen know better than that. We got our information by a method of deduction — we know all about this too. Our deduction was something like this — those sophomores either forgot to beat us or they did not have any excuse for such action. It is far more probable that a sophomore would forget his primary duty. Thus the conclusion is — the freshmen were too good to be beaten. It is lucky for the vigilance committee that such classes appear only once in a lifetime. Another class like the class of ' 20 would certainly cause bankruptcy of the vigilance committee and necessitate their with- drawal from business. But to say that the sophomores entirely neglected us would be a hyperbolical expression for such warm hospitality as we received occasionally. Our honorable superiors deemed it their supreme duty at certain appointed times to test for speed certain of our number. But these days of compulsory speed are now over, and we now stand Monarchs of the Paddle waiting to escort our suc- cessors along the road we have just travelled with such success. In the Annual Push-Bali Fight, the class of ' 20 met probably the strongest team that has ever entered such a contest. But little were our spirits daunted by their past greatness or by their seeming strength. Owing to our remarkable skill and effective energy, these giants were only able to beat us by a score of seven to noth- ing (7-0). In basket ball and also in the heavy gymnasium contest, the sophomores were victors, but the freshmen won the swimming meet by a large margin. In this brief history, no attempt is made to mention the names of the freshmen who have distinguished themselves in all of the various college activities — such a list would be too long. In every branch of athletics, with the exception of the crew, at least one member of the class of ' 20 has been honored with a monogram, and ill three events the records are held by freshmen. But in all our prosperity. we have not failed to gain what is most important of all — the true spirit of Wash- ington and Lee. We have learned to honor her sacred traditions, and uphold her loftv ideals. Those Ihc class of ' 20 will ever remember and revere. 1917 Armentrout, B., A T A Armstrong, T. F. Atkins, J.

Himself learned in the law, and devoted to its study, Mr. Burks was always forebearing and patient with his students, as we struggled and wrestled with propositions which were to him so simple. Never did we see him out of temper or irascible, though we often failed to grasp either the reason of the law, which he was trying to explain, or its application which he was trying to demon- strate, but with wonderful patience, he would persevere and explain until the sun of comprehension broke through to our befogged intelligences. In class it would rarely do, when the law under discussion was founded upon deep principles or forceful reason, to answer his inquiry by merely stating the law. There would always come back the inevitable Why , and but little credit did we get unless we could tell the reason. In pleading, it would rarely sutRce to answer by stating what steps should be taken in a given case, for always back came the in- quisitorial How? . He was searching and insistent in his questions in class, and as far as possible made each student work out his own salvation, but when we had floundered into regions too deep for our own efforts, he was ever ready to lend a helping hand, and rare indeed was the case in which he could not state the proposi- tion or illustrate it so that it would be clear. He was zealous and untiring in his study of the law, and made it the only child of his profession. As a teacher he was a master, and had, to a remarkable degree, the facility for so stating important propositions as to engrain them on the memory. Often his old students, after many years at the Bar, find in the midst of a Court trial, when questions of pleading or evidence are sprung, which must be dealt with without opportunity to investigate, that there flashes through the mind some striking method of statement, or some forceful illustration, oftentimes homely in itself, yet never to be forgotten — and the law comes back. We say, The Law Comes Back advisedly, for with his ex-students, what Mr. Burks has said, is the final word, and it is indeed rare that a Virginia Court will not accept it as con- clusive. There comes to my mind, in this connection, a remark once made to me by my partner, when I was arguing some question, and quoting Mr. Burks as authority. He said: Of course you need no further authority. You recognize authority on what is the law in Virginia in the following order: First, Martin Burks; second,. Page One hundred tiventy-one 1117 the Virginia Court of Appeals; and • third, the Supreme Court of the United States. lie was right, and that is as it should be, and is with his former pupils. Outside of class Mr. Burks never failed to give unsparingly of his time and efrort to assist us, not only in reference to our studies, but also as to any personal difficulties or troubles of any sort. Ilis students all knew that if they had troubles, or wanted advice, they would always find a sympathetic listener and wise coun- sellor in i Ir. Burks. It is remarkable that never, during my stay at Washington and Lee (five years), nor since that time, have I ever heard a complaint or un- favorable criticism of Mr. Burks by any of his students, or ex-students. To those who are familiar with students and their tendency, oft-times thoughtlessly, to com- plain or criticise, through force of habit, or on general principles, this statement may appear almost unbelievable, yet it is true to the letter. We all admired him, and loved him to such an extent that not only would we under no circumstances . ' -ay anvil;ing to his detiiment ourselves, but we always labored to have our opinions and admiration extend to all the college students, whether in the law sclim! 0! rot and thus as was inevitable, he was looked up to by the students of every school in the University, as well as ourselves, as a model and beloved teacher. The writer does not feel that he is properly qualified to do Justice in words to a proper Appreciation of Martin Parks Burks, yet is he unwilling to let pass any opportunity to let the outside world know how much and why the students at Washington and Lee respected and revered him, who fully deserves credit for all thaJ is implied in the name by which he is affectionately known — Daddy. Mr. Burks has left Washington and Lee for the higher call of the Supreme Court of tlie state. The state is to be sincerely congratulated on his appointment to this high office, and we glory in his wider sphere of influence and usefulness, yet our joy in his advancement is mixed with real sorrow and deep regret, for our Alma Mater is to lose him. His value to the University, and more particularly to the law school, can hardly be overstated. We, who were students under him, con- gratu ' atc ouiscats that we have had this opportunity and privilege. Wherever he may go, vhatever may be his sphere of work, our affection, good wishes and deep respect will always follow him. We wish him God Speed, and will ever cherish as a blessing the memory of the hours spent with and under him. A learned and painstaking lawyer; a patient and efficient teacher; a ready and wise (dunsi 11(11 ' ; a sympalhcl ii ' and loving friend; such is Daddy Burks. The Dean is gone!

On April the third, the morning after W oodrow Wilson ' s glorious address, the s ' :udcnts gathered in University Assembly to help decide the steps the institution would take in the national crisis. President Henry Louis Smith made a stirring address, which, though spirited, was at the same time wise and balanced. Questions were then put to the student liody concerning their desires, qualifications and ])re- vious training. The vote was unanimous for military training, while for a reg- ular two-vear Heserve Ollieers ' Training Corps course almost all of the under classmen held in the atfirmative. Following the assembly, application was made by telegraph for the establishment under the United States officers a unit of the R. 0. T. C.. hut owing to the great demand for officers in the active government ranks, it was found impossible to secure an adequate training force at the time. In the emergency, however, the authorities of the Virginia Military Institute offered the services of Major Murray F. Edwards as Tactical Officer and Commandant, and those of the graduating class as drill masters until such times as the students should have sufficient training to officer themselves. Realizing our good fortune in having so splendid an officer and such efficient drill masters to instruct us, on April the tenth, we unanimously accepted the generous offer, and following a talk by Major Edwards to the batallion that after- noon, on April the eleventh the first real organization and drill took place. Since that time the work has been carried on with the greatest dispatch and thorough- ness. Faculty and student body military committees have been appointed, and Page One hundred t-iccnly-l iree irat 1117 corporals selected from the students. Blanks have been issued callinji t ' ur a com- plete enumeration of the qualifications of the various men to serve the nation in the capacities for which they were best fitted. Such blanks have also been issued to all of the alumni. In addition, an ambulance corps of fifty men has been organized under the direction of Dr. J. Vv . H. Pollard and is being drilled thoroughly in the School of the Soldier. Regular classroom instruction will be given to this corps by Dr. Pollard and Professor Forest Fletcher. The student corporals meet twice weekly for theoretical military instruction under Major Millner, Commandant at V. M. I., besides going on long field practice hikes with the Institute Corps. Thus have Washington and Lee and Virginia Military Institute men met the call of the national government by a rare example of practical patriotism, and judging from present appearances, Major Edwards ' prediction that the batallion will by June be worthy in both spirit and ability of this great university is certain of full realization. Never before have trustees, faculty, and Student Body united with such determined enthusiasm for the attainment to so great and large an end. Puf r Our liundri ' J tiLfiily-foiir 1117 HOR an American institution of learning in this marvelous age of social and educational reconstruction to be standing still is to be already dead. No institution, not even Washington and Lee, can rely upon its past glories or be satisfied with its past achievements. The Calyx, therefore, as a faithful mirror of university life, gives below a brief summary of the more recent items of change and progress which mark the rapid expansion of the old University to meet the needs and answer the call of the twentieth century. For convenience, these will be grouped under separate heads. 1. Administrative. The administrative offices have been enlarged and equipped with all necessary modern apparatus, dictaphones, multigraph, new typewriters, loose-leaf books of every kind, card catalogues, and many additional college records and blanks. Instead of having a busy professor give a small part of his time to the duties of Registrar, a full-time Registrar, with well-equipped office, has been installed, and the records and statistics of the University, in fullness and detail, now compare favorably with those of any institution in the country. Two stenog- raphers ' offices have also been built and equipped. The Dean of the University has been released from most of his professorial duties, and the supervisory work of the office largely increased in proportion. 2. Growth in the Teaching Force. During the past two or three years the following new chairs have been established and their occupants added to tlie Faculty. A professorship of Mining Geology, the professor-elect to begin his duties next year, and six additional associate-professorships, namely, in English, Econ- omics, Physical Education, Commercial Law, Physics, and Chemistry. This is an increase of about 33 1 3% to the teaching members of the Faculty while the student body has, in the same time, increased but Q%. 3. Entrance Requirements, etc. The entrance requirements for admission to the Freshman Class have been strictly interpreted and rigidly enforced. They were last year raised to 15 imits, with a minimum of 13 for conditioned entrance. As a matter of fact, however, the great majority of students, for several years, have presented more than 14. In its entrance requirements the University now stands among the few leading institutions in the United States. 4. Care of Sick Students. In order that students may be properly eared for during illness, even when without financial resources to meet the necessary ex- penses, a plan of co-operation has Ijeen adopted l etween the University and the Stone- wall Jackson Memorial Hospital. The University collects $3 from each student each year and for this sum the hospital furnishes board, room, and general nursing free of charge to every sick student however long his illness may continue. It is Paffe One hundred tii-enty-five liopt ' d soon to complete arrangements to furnisli to everv student the services of a capable physician for a similar fee. 5. Establish II, cut of a Department of Phi sical Education and Training. With the completion of the new gymnasium there was inaugurated a complete system of medical and physical inspection, education, and training, indoor and outdoor. The equipment for this department is exceptionally complete. The course is universal and compulsory for two years and optional for two more. The department is in charge of two professors giving their full time to the work, with a corps of part- time instructors, and marks the beginning of a new era in the health and efficiency of the student body. All outdoor and intercollegiate athletics are under the care and supervision of this department and all coaches are members of its teaching staff and under its control. (!. Efjuipiiiciil. Duiing the hist few years a large and coniniodious field elub- houso has been built, the Doremus Memorial Gymnasium (the largest and most complete in the South) has been constructed, the campus in its neighborhood graded and set in grass, cement and macadam roadways built, the capacity of the Library stock-room doubled, the School of Commerce library and reading-room remodeled, the capacity of the University heating plant more than doubled, and a thousand dollars worth of apparatus added to the Physics I laboratory. The local property and grounds of the University have been largely increased by the gift, in return for a small annuity, of the estate of Mrs. Clara D. Estill, consisting of three large residences and l i o acres of high class residential lots, the whole pro])erty lying within five minutes walk of the University buildings. 7. The Law Sctiool. During the past two years the regular curriculum of the Law School has been changed from a two-year to a three-year course, the library remodeled and enlarged, and the modern ease system of teaching introduced into several of the departments. 8. Intercollegiate Athletics. During the past few years the whole conduct of intercollegiate athletics has been placed more directly under the supervision and control of the Faculty coinmittcc, the Graduate Manager, and the Department of Physical Training, ' i ' his is especially tiue in the supervision and control of all (•(intracts, purchases, and expenditures. As a result, tlie finances of the Association linvc !)een in n healthy state, all debts have been paid, and annual deficits abolished. Meanwhile tlie success of Washington and Lee in all lepartments of inter- collegiate atliletics has liei ' U pile U ' lial. Xev.T in the history of the University have its various teams attracted such national attention or won such conspicuous During thi ' snine period tlie eligiliility recniirenicnts linvc liecn nnicli increased and strictly enfon-ed. The Faculty regulations as to the scliolnrship of athletes have han-cd all ringers and loafers from the teams, and lieginniug next year the l ' ti, r Our Innidnd iiinily-six iiKKjnpieMi University adopts tlie One-Year Kule barrinir all first-year men from a place on any Varsity team. !l. Intercollegiate Dettating. During the past few years this department of activity has been placed on a much firmer basis. A regular chapter of the Delta Sigma Rho has been established, a regular instructor employed, and an increasing interest shown by the student body in the intercollegiate contests. 10. The Omicron Delta Kappa. During the past two years a national fra- ternity has been organized similar to the Phi Beta Kappa but of much broader scope and function. This is an organization of the chosen leaders in all the various departments of the University, athletic, social, literary, religious, and scholastic. The function of the society is to co-ordinate and unify all campus leadership for the advancement and betterment of campus life and the interests of the University. 11. College Publications. The last few years have seen the college weekly. The Ring Turn Phi, extend its influence and double its circulation till now more copies are sent outside of Lexington tlian to subscribers within the town. The former publication of a Summer Bulletin and an annual catalogue by the Univer- sity has been extended into a regular bulletin published every two months. The University now publishes annually formal bulletins of the School of Commerce, the School of Law, the Physical Training Department, and the annual general cata- logue; also ahnnni bulletins, bulletins of general information, the Summer Bulle- tin, and various eireulars, etc., the whole amounting to about 25,000 pamphlets per annum. It is hoped within the near future to add a regular quarterly alumni bulletin to the regular publications of the institution. 12. Financial Eesources. The financial resources of the University have been increased Mdthin the past few years (1) by the Doremus legacy of nearly $2,000,000, which will revert to Washington and Lee on the death of the widow, (2) by the building and equipment of the gymnasium, largely financed by Mrs. Doremus out of her own personal funds, amounting to about $100,000, (3) by the receipt of a legacy of $100,000 from the Doremus Estate on the death of Mr. Doremus ' father, and (i) by the founding of the Sarah E. White and the Henry W. Anderson Loan Funds. 13. Eecngnition and Atlranrenient of Scholarship on the Campn.9. Many modern and effective methods have been added to make scholarship still more popular and universal on the campus of Washington and Lee. At the close of each term the average standing of every student in the University is now made out an honor list is published in the college paper and sent to all the home newspapers of those who have won a place thereon. This honor list for the year is now read at commencement and published in the catalogue. A select list of first-class high schools all over the South, numbering about TOO, are asked to send the University the names of their tliree leading Seniors and Pafff One liumireJ Hu ' enty-seven M17 special efforts are made to matriculate as many as possible of these star high school men. A large loose-leaf ledger has been prepared, in which a page is given to every college organization, fraternal, religious, social, athletic, etc. The exact average scholastic standing of every organization is calculated at the close of each session and this is published in the college papers. The fraternities have recently adopted rules barring from initiation those whose scholarship is notably defective. The Faculty have scholarship rules for tlie eligibility of the members of the Varsity teams. These are strictly enforced and have done much to increase the average scholarship of the athletes of the University. The old automatic rule has been made more severe than formerly and makes it impossible for a persistent loafer to remain a student of the University. A record is kept of the average standing of the representatives of all the various high schools patronizing the University, and every high school putting one of its representatives on the honor list is immediately notified of the fact. The above are some of the newer methods of advancing the cause of scholar- ship at the University. The former prizes in every department, the endowed scholarships, etc., are still in force as of old. 14. Organization of Faculty, Students, and Alumni for the Advancement of the University. During the past 18 months a new era has been inaugurated, it is hoped, by the organization of all those connected with the University for the im- provement, expansion, and advancement of the institution. The whole Faculty has been organized into a deliberate body so that the ex- perience, skill, and effective methods of the most expert in any department may become the common property of all. A complete program is made out and pub- lished in advance for each term with the subjects assigned and the speakers selected. At each meeting of the Faculty three professors discuss the various problems con- nected with the work of the institution, each member taking his turn in regular rotation. Questions of student self-government, the honor system, the best methods of supervising and assimilating new students, best methods of class-room and laboratory instruction, student recreation, athletics, social problems, etc., are thus regularly discussed and the Faculty organized for the betterment of the work of the institution. The stuik ' uts liave also been organized into tlic U. B. Club ' ' for the purpose o f Ix ' tteriiig student conditions, improving the work of the institution, and enlisting tbc hearty co-operation of every student in the work of tlu Faculty and the Board of Trustees. Ivicli student member seh ' cts those s])eciiil fields of enileavor wliich Ptu r One liundrrd liu ' rily-rl hl U17 most appeal to him. There are 443 active members of the club and the organiza- tion promises great things for the future of the University. But perhaps tlie newest and most important is the recent development of the interest of our widely scattered alumni. The old General Alumni Association and the recent and valuable work of the University Alumni, Incorporated, have been gathered up and set forward in a great co-operative movement in which, for the first time, the Trustees and the alumni are working together in perfect harmony and with a common and contagious zeal. A traveling Alumni Secretary has been employed, meetings of the Alumni are being held all over the South, and every- where a new interest is felt in the University. Several hundred alumni have al- ready joined the organization, promising an annual contribution to the financial resources of their Alma Mater. The last reunion of the alumni at commencement far surpassed anything in the history of the institution, and tlie movement seems to be gathering momentum with every passing week. These are some of the more importaiit changes through which the old Uni- versity is keeping herself young and vigorous. That they may be but the begin- nings of a new era of rapid expansion and still more fruitful service is the hope and prayer of all who love the institution of Washington and of Lee.

T. (ilasgow. Esq. P. M. Penick. Es(|. Page One hundred thirty-nine Intercollegiate debating has made remarkable strides at Washington and I ee in the past few years. The interest in such contests has increased noticeably, both among those inclined towards that kind of work, and in the University as a whole. Since the establishment of Delta Sigma Rho, there have been hot con- tests for places on the team, and many have striven to win the coveted honor. In this year ' s preliminaries, more than twenty men entered as contestants. Only one intercollegiate contest was held this year, that with Trinity Col- lege of South Carolina. Another debate has been arranged with the University of Georgia, to take place the 28th of April. In the preliminaries, D. A. Falk and F. C. Stipes won places on the latter team. In the Trinity debate, held in Lexinton on March 2, Washington land Lee was represented by Gus Ottenheimer, L. B. Cox, and G. P. Wilson, backed by J. L. Early and J. D. Owens, as alter- nates. The vote of the judges was in favor of Trinity, although the count of two to one showed the decision was close. This was the last of a series of three debates with Trinity, of which Washington and Lee won the first, and Trinity the last two. The subject of the debate was. Resolved: That Congress should pass a law providing for compulsory arbitration of disputes between inter-state railways and their employees (Constitutionality granted). Washington and Lee ii])lR ' ld the affirmative side of the question. Although the decision was lost, the work of the W. and L. men was excellent, and they should be highly commended. The team was alily coached by Coach C. Edmund Worth, to whom much praise is due. Ill the Georgia del)atc, Falk and Stipes won by unanimous decision. Next year it is hoped that at least three intercollegiate contests will he lu-ld. tliat there might be given a greater opportunity for forensic development.

Elrnrk AX APPRECIATION The closing of the 1! 1() football season brought to Washington ami Lee causes for deep feelings of regret along with the happy knowledge that another hard campaign had been completed and the old White and Blue had maintained her proud position as sponsor for one of the leading football teams in the country. The pall of gloom which cast itself over the Student Body and the Alumni alike was occasioned by the realization that W. and L. was to lose the services of one who had made himself not only a great asset to the prestige of our athletics, but deeper than this, one who, through his magnetic personality, enthusiastic interest in all matters pertaining to the University, and his clean example, had endeared himself to us as a man among men; one whose influence would be long felt by even him who was not slightlv acquainted with the man — none other than our own .logger Elcock. The value of Jogger ' s association with, our athletics can not be measured by mere technical expression. It would take pages to recount his accomplishments as a mentor of our football teams, and we are all well acquainted with his success. He raised Washington and Lee to a place of respect and recognition during his all too short regime. The master hand of the genius and gentlemen was ever ap- parent when his teams took the field. H|e taught his men to play hard but cleanly, and never did our opponents have anything but praise and respect for the repre- sensation of W. L. who carried the white and blue l anner on the gridiron. AMiile we men of Washington and Lee admire Jogger Elcock for the fame he has been instrumental in bringing to our University, still more do we admire him for his powerful influence for good, and rightly do we mourn his loss. The men who served under him, learned to love and respect him and it was but for him to command and his players would give their all to do. Page One hundred eighty-five Tlie urgent pressure of business was the cause of Coach Elcock ' s retirement, regardless of flattering oft ' ers he received from not only Washington and Lee, but also from other leading institutions of the country. The good wishes of every supporter of the white and blue go forth to Elcock that his business career may be filled with the successful efforts that marked his coaching. When Jogger made up his mind to do a thing, only a miracle or the impossible could thwart his ac- complishing that which he set out to do. He imbued this same spirit into his men, and he had no use for the man who accepted defeat gracefully. Xot that Elcock could not take his medicine like a man, but that his motto was: ' ' We want a win, and nothing but a win will suit us. Elcock knew football from the ground up. Our teams measured up to, and oftentimes surpassed, in technique and finish the style of our big Eastern opponents, where the development of the teams is supposed to be ultra-perfect. He had a sixth sense in conditioning and handling men. and considering the fact that he was forced to assume the role of trainer as well as coach, Jogger was something to wonder at. In closing, let us say that t o Coach Elcock, Washington and Lee owes much. He has planted the seed of athletic success, which, if developed as it should be by his successors, will bring an accumulating fame for years to come to this old institu- tion. To Jogger the hand of gratitude is extended with heartfelt sincerity by every alumnus and student of Washington and Lee. Would that he could remain with us always to still further expand his wonderful work and influence. AVe can not but feel that he is a true and valuable son of our Alma Mater, so fully has he lived her ideals. May he be able in the future to return to these beloved halls and may he be able in the coming years to devote at least a few days to working with our teams. His work will l)e hard to match, the memories of the man will be with us ever and always proudly shall we point to his three years as coach, the record of those years a fitting testimonial to Jogger, the coach and the man.

Patjr One liundrrd c ' lylity-e ' iglit 1917 Page One hundred eiylity-nine 1117 roiT With its tive decisive victories, two defeats and two tie games, Washington and Lee ran tlie gamiat of football experiences during the 1916 season and completed its lieavy schedule, which was marlvcd by five intersectional games, considered one of the strongest teams in the South. Possessing what was admitted to be perhaps the strongest tackle-to-tackle line in the country and in which tackles Bob Ignico and Pike ' Johnson were towers of strength because of their effective overtackle charges as well as their able de- fensive work with Center, Al Pierotti, guards, Tex Bryan and Lindsay Moore, AVasliington and Lee lacked only weight in its backfield to have been a perfectly ljalanc;il ei ' idiron machine. With tlie eleven lacked in weight to gain against its Patje One liundrcd U27 opponents it made u]) in considerable measure liy the use of the forward pass, and tlie brilliant broken lield running of Captain ' •( ' }•■ Youn.u ' , who also strengthened the defense of the team by his superb punting, which for the season averaged nearly bO yeards. The defensive and offensive calibre of the eleven was maintained by the ends, Paul Larkin, Mercer Graham and Turner B-ethel proving alert and dependable men, the latter especially proving his versatility by successfully ilUiiig places in emergencies at guard tackle and end successively. With Captain Young in the backtiehl, the (ienerals had line-plungers of more than ordin;] Johnny Sorrells and Galla Paxton at full, Herman Crile at full and half, and llany Adani ' at right half. Blaine Kehoe, although playing I; year, by his work promises to become an able successor to Young as a hriik; runner. It was Coach Wialter B. Elcock ' s final season as the mentor of the (ii- ' ' J ' hroug ' hout the season he was assisted by Jiggs Donahue, and to the two the new men in the backfield much of tin dit th ility jn right s first 1 lirld lerals. in the . play ilph-Mac.n developmei is due. Starting the season at home with, the overwhelming defeat of IJai by the score of 80 to nothing in a game in Avhich every member of the large squad was given an opportunity to participate, the Generals on the following week journeyed to West I ' oint full of confidence as to the outcome of their first invasion of the East. But tired by the journey and outweighed, the Generals succumbed to the terrific charges of Oliphant and Vidal, and, after ticing the scoie in th ' first half, went down to defeat, thirteen to seven. Tlie fcUowing Saturday, Oetobe;- 14. marked another invasion of the East, Coaclie j ' li-nck and Donahue taking tli ' ir men to Xew Brunswick to attack the heavv elev n ((.adied at uutgers by Stanford. Although admitted to have outplayed the JersrviK ' H. the Pa f One liundrcd nincty-nne WIT Generals were not able to ovcircome the handicap of a heavy penalty inilieted for side-line coaching by an over-zealous supporter and the game ended a tie, lo to 13, six of Rutgers ' points resulting from the so-called multiple kick. ' Roanoke College on Octoh( r 21, was defeated 33 to nothing on Wilson field, in a game marked by a numbnT of lost opportunities by the Generals ' to score. Atlanta was the scene of the following Saturday ' s struggle between the Generals and the Yellow Jackets of Georgia, ' Tech, the game ending in a seven to seven tie, with all the honors in favor of Washington and Lee until the final quarter, when, refreshed by new men, the Yellow Jackets were halted by time in their march down the field. The team displayed its best form of the season on November 4, at Annapolis, against the Navy. Although playing on a muddy field wh,ich offered every advantage to their heavier opponents, the Generals outplayed the Middies in every department of the game won by the score of ten to nothing, the playing of Ignico, Johnson and Young featuring the offensive work of Washington and Lee. Bucknell on November 11, proved an easy victim, the Generals winning on Wilson field before the largest crowd that ever saw a football game at Lexigton bv the score of fifty-five to seven, the visitors scoring on a fumble near the goal posts. Washington and Jefferson at Richmond on the following Saturday sprung a surprise by developing an unexpectedly strong defense and opening up with a l:)e- wildering variety of forward passes, winning from the Generals by the score of ten to six, in one of the cleanest games ever seen in Richmond. The season was completed on Thanksgiving Day at Raleigh, where the Generals defeated their old rivals, North Carolina A. M., for the third consecutive time, the game ending twenty-one to nothing, although the playing was marked by a strong resistance from the supposedly weak Aggies.

The outstanding features of the Generals ' playing, was the almost imprengnable defense worked up by Coach ' ' Jiggs Donahue. With five men strung across tne center of the floor when the ball was in possession of their enemies, the Generals were able at all times to prevent any team from making a successful rally for a possible victory. This sterling defense was coupled with able goal shooting and In-illiant personal playing by every man on the team. Cy Young led the team in the number of field goals with 98 baskets to his credit. Nay, who played his first season with the Generals, followed with 86, and Graham came third with 74. Young, who played his last season as a General, played star basketball at forward throughout the winter. Graham, who will captain the quint next year and Captain Pierotti performed consistently well at center and guard, while guard Adams and forward Nay, both playing their first year, improved so rapidly as the season progressed, that toward its close their efforts tied with that of Young in brilliancy. Engleby, Stuart, Bethel, Eawlings and McCain proved dependable substitutes, and with each of them except Young with which to build the Generals ' Machine from For next season, indications are that Washington and Lee will have as strong a team in 1917-1918, as were the champions of 1916-1917.

Athletics gave way on Wilson field to military training. Lehigh defeated the Generals, four to nothing in a contest in which pitcher Hurley ' s work for the visitors was perhaps the best ever seen on Wilson field. For nine innings the Pennsylvania hurler assisted by sensational fielding did not yield the Generals a single hit and fanned eleven men, not a single White and Blue runner reaching second. Against Lafayette in the third game of the season, Washington and Lee came to the fi ' ont after staying behind for seven innings, with some good breaks and timely hitting, winning the contest four to three. I ' niversity of North Carolina administered the Generals ' second defeat by the score of two to nothing, Wasliington and Lee being unable to hit in the pinches. Pitcher Pierotti distinguished himself in the Lafayette game by going in with three men on in the seventh and pitching air-tight ball for the remainder of the game. Against North Carolina, too, his work was excellent ; not only keeping his hits scattered, but gaining two for the Generals. Had the season been continued, it is felt that the Generals would have developed the best nine it has had in several years. With every position except catcher, second and short filled by regulars of last year and good men at these ])laces. Coach Donahue was confident of a successful season. Paffe TiLo hundred iiint 1917 Of tlie old men again candidates for the team were Captain Young, Vance and Gregg in the outtiekl; pitchers Pierotti, BTvan, and Graham; first baseman Bill Bryan, and third baseman Jones. Kehoe at catcher, promised to become in time ■a worthy successor to Donahue. Waller at short was a good fielder and could hit well. Collins, at second, the third of the new infielders, showed up brilliantly in each of the four games.

ES with baseball, war played havoc with Washington and Lee ' s outdoor track scliedule, causing a cancellation of every meet and depriving the Generals of the cinder and turf of an opportunity to fulfill Coach Forest Fletcher ' s prediction that the team of 1917 would be the best Washington and Lee ever had. Coach Fletcher had so much confidence in the powers of the outdoor track team that most of the track appropriation was allotted by the athletic council to that division of the sport. The outdoormen got only one chance to display their form and speed and that yearly in the fall, when they won the South Atlantic cross country for the secona time within three years. The other time the Generals finished second. The meet was held under the auspices of Catholic LTniversity at Washington, the hosts finishing second and University of Virginia third. Powell, who was the first Washington and Lee man to cover the six miles, finished in 34 : 4 ; while Peale, McXitt, Child, J. C. Robbins, Blackford, Irwin and Johnston, his team-mates, followed closely behind. J. C. Robbins was chosen captain of the team for next year. The Generals fared well also in the indoor contests in which they participated. Although only a few men were taken to the games at Georgetown and George Washington, the showing made by them was considered satisfactory by Fletcher. At Georgetown, in a matched mile relay against Catholic University, the Generals won in good time, Gladney, Kievlan, Robbins and Powell running for Washington and Lee. Henke sliowed up well in the indoor dashes throughout the season. Cromwell did well in the huidles, and in the heavy gym contest in March, established a new Washington and Lee record for the standing high jump, clearing the bar at four feet, ten inches. On the same day, Robbins established a new University record for the half mile, running the distance on the Doremus gym track in 2:15. Cliild also broke the mile record here, making it in 5:03-2 5; while McXitt set a new time in the two mile with 10; 53-2 5.

At the starting line considerable difficulty was experienced bv the two coxswains in jockeying into ]iosition, both being nervous and eager to get the best position possible. Dr. TJeid White, a varsity Albert Sidney of the older days, served as Starter. Vith the report of the pistol, the eight oars flaslu ' d into the water as one, both crews getting a splendid start. The Blues, using their superior weight to advantage, rushed the first part of the course and by the end of the first minute were leading by almost a boat length. The Harry Lee rowed in cleancnt fashion throughout the race, employing the characteristic quick plunge stroke. After the fiist minute the Blue Crew settled down to a more leisurely pace, ac- celerating their stroke whenever their opponents seemed to be creeping up on them. The lead of a little over a boat length was maintained until opposite the boat house, when De la Haba called for the final spurt. The winners finished rowing evenlv and powerfully in their long sweeping stroke. The Harry Lees, wearied bv the long fight to overtake their opponents, were unable to hold their own at the close and finished about two ami one-half boat lengths behind. From the spectators point of view, the second race was probably the more interesting of the two. At the stait. the Albert Sidneys gained a good lead, but the Clacking of their stroke ' s ore slowed them up considerably. The Red Crew rowed a splendid race, considering the greater weight of their shell, but owing to weariness, slumped at the finish. Up to 100 yards of tlie finish, the outcome was very doubtful for either crew, but a final strong Blue spurt won the race for that s ' de- The time of the ' arsitv I ' .lucs was 4:40, one of the best tliat the course lias ever seen. All in all. it was a lit day for a Blue celebration. The result of the race brought the total nunibci- of Blue victories up to 17, as against the 20 of the Reds.

When the cigars were lighted, the first contemplative puffs were fol- lowed by a lull in the conversations. The stillness was broken only by the clicking of the ivory balls in the billiard room where Cotton Mather and Oliver Cromwell were playing their nightly con- test for the Overseas Billiard Championship. Henry the Eighth moved uneasily in the re- cesses of his big rocker. If things didn ' t liven up soon, he thought rather peevishly, he would go home and take Anne to the movies. Beau Brummel, looking very bored, glanced furtively into a mirror and adjusted his cravat. James Boswell looked with imploring eyes at the big man at whose feet he was sitting, but the Learned Doctor for once was lost in taciturnity. Even Baron Munchausen was silent. Suddenly, the company raised their heads. Through the open window floated the inspiring notes of a song: When Washington and Lee ' s men fall in line. We ' re going to win again another time — The music was interrupted by the scraping of oars as Charon thumped the boat against the lad- der leading to the deck. The Shades in the silent smoking room looked at each other delightedly. Someone jumped lightly to the deck outside and the song was continued. — And we ' ll roll A ir-gin-ia on the sod. Rah, Rah, Rah. Framed in the doorway, his face wreathed in smiles and his que awry, stood George Washing- ton, good old George ! A yell went up from the assemblage in the smoking room. Hi, there, Georgie, old top, piped his devout old admirer, Alexander the Great, What ' s the lit- tle old god-father of Wash and Lee so happy over til is evening? Where ' s old Tom Jefferson? countered W ashington, in high spirits. Dunno, he was around here a minute ago, Page Tiuo htindrrd ninety answered a chorus of voices. What ' s up? We ' re starving for some excitement. Has the University of Virginia been licked again? Tell us. Let ' s find Tom; I want to hear what he has to say first, answered Washington, and the search for Jefferson was begun. They found him in the buffet orating to a group of sympathetic listeners. As I was saying, he shouted, all men were created free and — . but the rest of his speech was cut short. Have you seen the paper? demanded Wash- ington, waving the home edition of the Sfi x Sen- linel in Jefferson ' s face. Yes, ain ' t it awful ? Jefferson almost wept. The crowd gathered closer, feeling sorry now that they had not stayed at home for supper and got a copy of the paper for themselves. Awful ? intoned Washington. Why, I think it ' s the greatest thing that ever happened to strengthen Washington and Lee and the Univer- sity of Virginia. And I think that it ' s the worst thing that ever happened, retorted Jefferson, almost in tears. Why, Tom, I ' m surprised ! and a pained look shown in Washington ' s eyes. Only yesterday you were telling me that you thought it would be fine for the University and Washington and Lee, and today, when it is announced that athletic rela- tions will be resumed, you — His voice broke and he hung his head in sor- row. Athletic relations resumed? cried Jefferson. I ' m not talking of athletic relations. I ' m talk- ing — his voice shook — I ' m talking of the State going dry. Oh ! ' ' exclaimed the crowd, thinking of the University, What a pity ! Yes, it is, sobbed Jefferson and his body rocked with emotion. Cheer up, Tom, consoled Washington, pat- ting his comrade and rival on the back, cheer up. The University will survive. Just think of the good that will result from our colleges meet- ing again on the athletic field. ' Taint no use. ' Taint no use to play, sobbed the founder of U. Va. ' Cause if the State ' s dry, the boys can ' t celebrate no victories and can ' t drown no defeats. Imagine this happening at My L niversity ! The Sliades retired and left Jefferson alone in the buffet composing a new Declaration of Inde- pendence — this time against the tyranny of the Virginia Legislature. — Isaac Shumax. S Ab - Page TiVf) liujidred nini ' ly-one mm M pfi mi7 BXBB tPUPHB We regret that we must present such a snapshot as the above but the Press must ever go hand-in-hand with Truth, telling things as they are and not as we would have them. Besides, it was not our fault that Sissy went into the squirrel- raising industry. Nor can these peaceful little quadrupeds be blamed for craving what to them must be as choice a morsel of food as an ice-cream cone to a student on a hot spring day. An all-wise Providence ordained that squirrels should live on nuts, and one of these fine days in spite of every law of applied motion that Sissy knows, they ' re going to catch the Czar of Reid Hall, and once and for all Test I ' roblems and Unsystematic System shall fade from the face of the Earth. Is it too much to hope? But we are not going to say that Sissy is without his good traits. Besides, once having chinned the bar twenty consecutive times as a student at the University of Virginia, the Doctor and his faithful tuning fork are always in evidence at the Interscholastic Track Meet. Therefore, we must do him justice and place him along the side of Camp, Thorpe, Hans Wagner and the other gleaming athletic lights. One of these days, the Athletic Council is going to wake up and give Sissy a monogram — modified, of course, by a stop watch and chinning-bar running across it. Honor to them to whom honor is due !

Yes, this is (Jrand Duke Joliii, Heir Presumptuous to the Throne of Holland. The Duke has endeared himself to the devotees of the ballroom pastime botli h ere and at V. M. I. by his original interpretation of the dances — which interpre- tation is permeated with the graceful movements suggestive of those things which characterize his native land. As one would guess, the Duke has Vernon Castle backed off the boards; he is the social star of the season, no dance being a success without his ducal presence. No lady considers herself completely rushed unless she has trotted several heats with him, while our much eclipsed social satellites copy him from his head to his feet. The Duke is the much-sought-after bridge player we have heard so much about, during the winter season. He is idolized by the Ancient and Honorable Alliance of Spinsters. In fact, he has been the greatest advertisement our dances have had — our fair visitors carrying away lasting impressions made by the agile feet of our own Grand Duke John. The Duke will not be with us next year, as he will take up his duties as Ambas- sador to the Fiji Islands in the early spring. We don ' t know, but we can make a pretty safe bet that there will be a revival of the dance craze among the Aborigines just as soon as the Diike lands. We trust that the dance will not take place around a kettle occupied by a disgruntled diplomat fricassed a la Unllnud. During the session 1916-17, the Calyx Staff has been greatly embarrassed by the thousands of suggestions and contributions poured in by the students. Page Two hundred ninety-three 1117 BOB IGNICO Above, ladies and gentlemen, we present for your consideration the weakest, most shallow-chested and altogether puny bit of physicjue that ever hit this school. Ii it saiti tliat when Doc Pollard first saw Bob come ambling up the campus, he realized that at last had come the time when Washington and Lee could no longer do without compulsory gym class. The re- sult was that, inspired by the sight of little Bobby. Doc instituted what has ever since been the bane of the indolent Fresh- men lives. The way Diminutive Ignico happened to leave liis Massachusetts home for the far Southland was this: Jiggs Donahue liked the kid and had used all his arguments to make a W. L. man out of him but to no avail. Finally, the little Irishman mentioned — as Jiggs frequently does — the existence of a Beanery in Ijcxington. It was enough, for Bob wanted to know no more and a few days later Doc Pollard was inspired, as we have lied to you above. Besides being sorne nuarterback on the Varsity, at the Heavy gym contest of 1917. Bobby carried off the medal as Champion All-around Grunter. Great fear was caused among the spectators that his frail body might give way to the strain which that big Brute Burtner was imposing on our bean-fed boy. However, he pulled through and is now getting along nicely. (Ini.-iginntion and audacity are neces- sary traits in the modern humorous edi- tor ' s makeup.) TOADY KERN Toady Kern ! Who is so lacking in a sense of humor that he will not smile on hearing that name. Never was a school blessed with so jovial a pedagogue. Smiles, smiles and more smiles play on the soft lines of his bright face like little sunbeams softly caressing old Mother Earth on a bright balmy spring day. It is indeed a blessing to sit beneath this happy man, for he has the rare gift of making tlie classics of a dead language as full of life as a prancing colt. His jokes, which are many, are never twice- told tales, and shrieks and howls of laughter are constantly emanating from tlie cheery little classroom on the second floor of tile Main Building. That Toady has a keen sense of humor Is clearly proved by the treat he gave Secretary of War Baker on Founder ' s Day, when he bounced that astonished personage up a half dozen Lexington blocks in a honest- fo-goodness Detroit Ford. You will admit that no other jjcrson on this globe has a keen enough api)reciation of the ridiculous to play such a trick on a Cabinet Secre- tary. Surely, while the kindly smile of this dear Latin teacher gleams forth upon packed benches, Latin can never become a dead letter at Washington an l Lee University. Tiort hundri ' d ninrly-fiiur LINDSAY LEE MOORE Of all the widely-traveled and world-wise men that have ever found themselves stranded in this little obscure burg, the above gentleman undoubtedly is the most Cosmopolitan. On the football trips, he amazed his team-mates by the easy nonchalance with which he beckoned to the numerous l)ell-hops who were Icept busy paging him in every hotel he blessed with his presence. Mr. Moore is decidedly inclined to the blas6 mannerisms of the man who has seen much of this little terrestial globe. At times this trait is rather noticeable on the football field, where he has often been seen to piclc up some little ISO pounder on an opposing team and carelessly toss him on the un- fortunate referee ' s head, some twenty yards away. You would cather from the above that Lindsav Lee is SOME MAN. Well, we can ' t deny it. It is told that last summer, when he had spent all his coin In high and riotous living, he entered a munitions fac- tory and applied for a job. He was put to lifting 100-lb. schrapnel. and the boss soon found out that this young Atlas was doing about five thousand more foot-pounds of work to the hour than the biggest and liardest tough in the factory. Needless to say. Lind- say cleaned up money, and brought tears to the eyes of the boss when he handed in his resignation. But, sovereign reader, we have not yet explained to you the above snap.shot taken by the Calyx Photog- rapher. Now. Lindsay Lee Moore, E.squlre is a bear- cat with the fair sex. Besides holding their undi- vided attention on the dance floor, where he reigns supreme, he captivates ' em all by his cute way of talking and by his good looks. The latter are due to his Herculean physique and his indisputable comeli- ness of feature. The football team will never forget how he led an entranced chorus girl from Somewhere- on-Broadway a merry evening in New York, taking in the big city all the way from taxicabs with their little clocks to a spree at Rector ' s. To most men, it would have been some night ' s experience, but Mr. Moore wasn ' t a bit hilarious — when he paid the bills.

Page Tiio liiindrrd ninrty-six GENERAL CUTEY EASTER Above you see the living embodiment of the Spirit of France. There ' s not a Frenchman in Paris or Alsace-Lorraine that more devoutly longs for a vic- torious France or who would be more pleased if the Kaiser were to get the gout or measles. Not only has Cutey mastered every idiom and idiosyncrasy of the French tongue, but not even President Poincaire himself could surpass our subject in gesticulating expressivcmcnt a hi frauraise. It would not he safe for Cutey now in the most obscure alley of Berlin, for his little goatee would doom him more certainly than any circ ' uinstantial evidence or even the testi- mony of Von Hindenburg himself. We have never heard of Cutey getting caught tell- ing the same joke twice : his wit is not that kind, but is the sort that springs forth before he himself knows it almost, I ui thermore. history reoords iiu occasion on which a Cutey joke fell flat. Again, we say, Cutey jokes are not that kind. Moreover, the learned Doctor can upon meeting a pretty calic magically forget every dry-as-dust i ook in the Library and become one of the best little Beau Brummels going inside of two-hundredths of a sec- ond. The line of gallantry that he turns out would make the most astute heartbreaker in the world blush with .shame, but Cutey blushes not, and fur- thermore, he never falls to make the pretty young thing think she ' s met the modern Lord Chestertie ' d. Finally. Cutey has won his way into the heart of every student on the campus. We ' re willing to put him up beside the best of profs any day in the week, but that would be a physiological impossibility for even Sissy Stevens cannot put one thing lieside itself. Down with the Kaiser! Vive la France! P.ut first, last and always Vive le Cutey ! m 1917 3A f Page Tii ' d hundred iiineiy-seven 1117 Sanr ®l|0ugl| nf Ijnrl Surattnn rratlij Entng ft Ijj All Pr a nt The ninety-ninth Durbar ball took place last Sunday night in the Uncle Remus Gymnasium. From every viewpoint the affair was attractive and successful. The proceeds were unusually large, over $200.00 of bum checks being turned in to the grateful manageress of the affair. This, of course was the main consideration and object oT the Bawl. The dance opened by a figure led by Dr. Hoyt, as a Dutch Boy, with Miss Sorrells as Some Girl, promptly at midnight. As tlie President sauntered grace- fully down the floor, Parker ' s saxophone moaned in great volume — just to let everybody know it had at last arrived. When the President and his partner mounted the throne, the young gentlemen performed an Old Dominion curtsy and the young ladies with characteristic Virginia modesty a graceful somersault. Miss U. May Seamore was much embarrassed just after the figure trying to find among the merry throng her costume, a beautiful string of beads, which had slipped off in the gymnastics. The young gentlemen, with true Southern courtesy, gathered around Miss Seamore to help in locating the beads, which were finally found. Miss Seamore was greatly relieved, for she is a typically modest young lady and naturally had clothed herself in the interval with a blush of shame. Supper consisted of immense quantities of delicious cuisine products. So satiated were the dancers that after supper, few could do anything but waltz, and that poorly enough. At last, Duke Furnee was in his element. The dance closed at one-thirty by reason of the lights suddenly going out. It is intimated by some that the fault was not entirely with the University Electric Plant, since a certain University financier and crepe-hanger was seen a second or so before hanging around the switchboard. Why is it that bugs will hang around and meddle with the lights ? All the Titanics got away successfully — from the dance floor. Most conspicuous among those present were : Mr. Hogue Addison as Purity with Miss U. Seamore as Truth. Mr. Siamese Mackey as Night with U. S. Littledress as Naughty. Mr. I. R. Roastin as Arctic Explorer with Davie Falk as Jerusalem. Prof. Dodd as A Tort with Miss Fair Harvard as Profound Wisdom. Mr. More Lindsay as Laddie with Miss 0. B. Gentle as Puck. Mr. Simmons Martin as Cigarette with Miss Brownie William as Four Roses. Mr. Cox Bill as The Crab with Miss Tommie Ferrara as Kultur. Mr. Ruff Railroad as The Czar of Rockbridge with Miss Heluva Police as Injustice Mr. D. 0. Hold as Chile Con Carne with Miss Heinz as Pork and Beans. Doc DoUard as First Aid with Miss Fletcher Forrest as I. M. Speedy. Mr. Lone Star Bryan as Quietude with Miss Smithson as Shrieks. Mr. Dickey as Inertia with Miss Ordeman as Acid.

Pafff Three hundred one H( XKYP.i:i ' ] ROYI) Welister ' s Collegiate Dietiouary defines the word honey-bee as a l)ee of the genus Apis, which lives in eommunities and col- lects honey. Noah further goes on to define honey — as figuratively used — as that which is sweet and pleasant, like honey. We hate to detract from the fame of the great lexicographer, but we can not help feeling that he must have been a bird in his youth and somewhat of a Beau Brummel around the ladies. Else, how could he have so aptly defined honey and the honey gatherer? Now, far be it from us to call Adie a honey-bee. If there ' s no truth in the intimation, this .sketch should not bother its subject — or rather we should say, its victim. If, on the other hand, there is some truth in the accusation, then Adie deserves the most harsh condemnation. Such practices should always be frowned upon by the conscientious Twentieth Century college man. To the Freshmen, especially, do we want to give warning. When some lucious and altogether tantalizing calic smiles sweetly at you, frown upon her, and turn- ing on your heel, walk rapidly away. Otherwise, some day some inconsiderate Humorous Editor may label you as be- longing to the genus Apis, so that you will have to tear (mt that particular page of your iterfectly nice Calyx before show- ing it to the home folks. But oh. yes, we were talking about Mr. Boyd. Well. Adie ' s one of these good boys that we all like to have around. When not around the ladies, he possesses a large share of good common sense. Though never having carried the football of intellect on Dr. Smith ' s intellectual gridiron, he has always been on the right side of the middle average when the grades came in. As Manager of the Ring- tum Phi, he turned in the largest surplus to the Student Body coffers that up to date had ever been presented. So, like a true honey-bee, Adie is a good worker, and performs capably the tasks and duties that fall to him.

If he is not able to step over his opponents, he never hesitates to go under or through them. But it is not only in football that this little bundle of pep uses such methods. In his preformance of the heavy duties as Manager of this book, he has convinced many an advertising man- ager that as a medium of iirofltable ad- vertising, the New York Thnps is backed off the map by The Calyx 1917.

S. 19X7 RUSHING ETHICS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY The Bis Ben resounded through the sacred, secret, mystic halls of the I Tappa Keg House, the Eminent High Mogul wrestled with Morpheus, came out victorious, disen- tangled himself from the sheets and ran for that early morning ( ' . (). You can all guess what was the cause of his industry when I tell you that it was early fall and college had just opened. The Virginia Creeper hacked into the station with its customary languor, and Mogul reached the station in time to see the cause of all his discomfort step off the train accompanied by several members of the Goo Goos, the hated rivals of his fritney. The representatives of the Goo Goos spirited their victim away in Rice ' s Saxon and then kept him under lock and key until he would promise to join the fritney of fritneys. The victim began to grow tired of solitary confiiicnicnt and gave his word that he would join; so the Goo Goos turned him loose, without liis idcdgc Iiutton, for no other purpose tlian to bump the I Tappa Kegs ; the victim having secured his freedom went joyously out on his rather vile mission. At the pool room he met A. Rum Hound, a member of D. T. K., and Rum suggested a game of pool. It occurred to Rum that he would get in soft by letting his victim win a few dollars from him at Kelly pool ; this having been done he suggested a drink of Scotch — now victim began to sit up and take notice — he began to see that Rum Hound was a man among men. The pair arrived at the D. T. K. house, and the whole crew was there witli stiff collars, fresh shines and creased trousers — and breaths of Four Roses. They ushered victim into the living room, and there — everywhei-e — were bottles of the most tempting alcoholic concoctions. He soon caught the spirit of the party, proved himself a worthy candidate for the honored insignia of the alcoholic aristocracy and by the time he was due at the (Joo (ioos House he was thoroughly saturated with the spirit of Bacchus, the patron saint of D. T. K. Tlie members realizing that the opportune moment was at hand, pledged the victim and he started home, reeling like a fishing .schooner in a storm. Victim heaved to, took a reef in his mainsail and navigated the stairway and ran foul on his rum-mate ' s bed. Then victim began to say I done it ; then rum-mate began to take notice and asked victim what he had done. Joined one of them fritneys, victim answered. What fraternity have you joined, asked rum-mate. I don ' t know itsh name but itsch on my co-cc-coat. Rum-mate saw the accursed button of the D. T. K. ' s — the jig was up — their hated rivals had scored. They then decided that he was not the kind of a fellow they wanted anyhow, he was too crude, and besides he was not an athlete. Vlow IsHe W u . He. bST- ? Page Three hundred five EDITORIAL BILLIE Allow us, ladies and gentlemen, to usher you into the austere presence of the one Editor in all the world. He is a Bird, a Reformer, and a Patriot. In the first named capacity, he wrote up the shame of the Ribbon Society Shows and gave the very significant comment, The shows were greatly enjoyed by all. This proves he is a Bird. Dr. Smith said so. As a Reformer, besides getting a new globe installed in the main building, Willie had the nerve to go to the extent of daring to intimate that the only infallible poten- tate on this terrestial ball — the august Executive Committee of the Washington and Lee Student Body — had made an er- ror ! ! ! ! Anyone having the nerve to do this has Martin Luther, James Cannon and Billy Sunday backed off the map. Finally. William is a Patriot. While Billie ' s sensitive quill shall scratch, the freedom of the press shall never — no, never ! — be impaired. All joking aside — for joking has nn place in Campus Scandal — the Ring-tum Phi that Billy has put out this year has been a thoroughly creditable and repre- sentative pa] er, and we of a sister pnlili- cation heartily congratulate him on his year ' s work. May we be given as good an Editor next year. This is Gilliam ' s favorite pose. We noticed this as SQon as he grabbed the purse strings of the Basket Ball team. The Athletic Association gave Heine fif- teen cents to run the season on and he brought l)ack sixteen cents change. You would think from this that he had stinted his team in the allowance of athletic ne- cessities, but such is not the case — he made them think they were getting more than they ever had before. The whole bunch was satisfied with Gilliam ' s work, and tlie Athletic Association was more than pleased, liecause Heine had actually made some monev out of Basket Ball, a thing that the Association had not ex- pected. Heine did well with this gen- erally losing sport and we wish to con- gratulate him on his success. This is not, however, our hero ' s only claim to fame, for he has excelled here in many ways : He has been President of the Y. M. C. A. and has administered wisely and judiciously over that complex organization and brought the work to a successful close, fllt(ltili )niifa)i(fis, as a politician he is right at home, and when he puts open the throttle on the old steam roller he makes Charlie Murphy look like an amateur. One of Heine ' s favorite greetings is, Now, I ' m not politicing, but So-and-So, etc.. etc. Pat r Three hundred six K m t SS msi mmmmmmmmm IMU Look , P.;(7 TliVcc l.undrcd srvrn CY YOUNG It ' s a Kood thing that Cy isn ' t a member of the gentler sex, for his reputation so- cially would be at about minus 100 per cent. Never has a more speedy young thing hit this old campus than this West Virginia space eater. His means of loco- motion, we are glad to say, are not of that Olympic variety that must be petted and pampered and never rislsed in any BALDY BANE Speaking of Sharks, let us deal with this young Maryland product. Although some of the men in the Academic School have at times wondered if the long sob stories of toil presented to them by the embryonic lawyers were altogether vera- cious, yet you ' ll have to admit that a man must be pretty good to hold a consistent record of ninety-flve in any ticket — not excepting even Geology I or Doc Pollard ' s Co-operative Hygiene. Yet Baldy has not been satisfied with even ninety-flve, but has approached so close to the Impossible Hundred that that self-satisfied figure has more than one trembled with horror and dismay. Even Joe Long is careful of what he says when Bane is in the class, for well he knows that no slip would es- cape unnoticed. Baldy is the sort of man in whom one instinctively feels confidence, and who walks straight into the hearts of all who know him. He is a man ' s man to the core. Far be it from Baldy to trij) on the light fantastic toe with any calic, no matter how inspiring she may be to others. Baldy Bane can ' t be both- ered with the ladies; if he were, it ' s no telling how many hundredths of a jxiint his legal status might fall. As to the future, we are willing to bank the standing of our architecturally beau- tiful Tucker Hall and all the combined wealth of legal lore contained within its real hard bumps. Although Cy is fully able to hold his own on the Intercollegiate Track, he is just as good in lialf a dozen other sports, and no man in the Univer- sity has scored half as many points to- wards her victories. More serious a prob- lem than even the One Year Rule will be our loss of this young speed king next year, and in the years to come W. L. fathers will gather their wee tots about them and tell them of Cy ' s famous grid- iron runs, or of his unerring accuracy on the Doremus basketball floor. Cy, however, in spite of his athletic prowess is by no means an athlete of the cave man variety. You will acknowledge that Washington and Lee is very, very I)articular in its choice of Final Ball Presidents. Cy has held down the Finals 1917 in an excellent manner, and if the Kaiser doesn ' t object, doubtless will pre- sent for our consideration one of the pret- tiest Final Ball Figures in the school ' s history. We have a hunch that he ' ll do It in spite of the whole German Autocracy. In closing, we can only say that even so splendid a judg e of men as Jogger El- cock has picked Cy out for a winner and has offered him a position in the South- ern branch of the Portland Cement Com- pany. If a good college record means anything. Jogger will never regret the offer. gray walls on the career of this, its shin- ing light. We have no use for book- worms, but when a man can show a 97 record and at the same time keep as fully alive to the modern spirit of this campus as Baldy has, we say he ' ll win or there ' s no use to come to Wa.shington and liCe. Pa( c Three liundred e ' u ht 1917 -TEX BEYAN Here is a son of The West That Was, engaged in his after-dinner exercise. Yes, this is a picture of an actual event that happened soon after Tex entered school. A Eockbridge farmer let this Bull get loose in the city streets and the said animal ran at large until Mayor Jackson called Tex into service — the Lexing- to Police Force being absent as usual — and asked him to Sling the Bull! Tex caught the infuriated brute and conquered him. Managers of different football teams heard of this feat and immediately sought to have Bryan removed from the Washington and Lee team, as their guards objected to playing against him because they feared that Tex might try some of his Bulldozing tricks on them. We know one thing about Tex ' s opponents and that is they always looked as though they had been in a stampede when he had finished with them. We shall all miss the blond guard from Texas. The opposing teams will be glad to know that his college days are no more. The residents of Letcher Avenue will miss his early morning, confidential remarks when this pro-type of Kit Carson returns to his native mesquite and cactus.

At the Y. M. I. dances, during one of the moonlight extras, the Duke was cooing sweet noth- ings to a regular girl. Appreciating a good joke when she saw it, suddenly the calic gurgled out, Oh. Mr. Furnee, you tickle me to death ! Now, the Duke didn ' t know but he had a hunch that that was no way to treat a lady, and loosening his hold, replied, I beg your pardon, Mademoiselle, it won ' t occur again. (Note: The Duke says that American slang is too much for him. We agree unaimously. ) WE CAN ' T BE BOTHERED There was a big bit of bad to every good old day, That we hear so much about.

JIGGS DONAHUE The 18 carat liumored son of the Emer- ald Isle who peeps forth from the top of this page has, during the seven years of his sojourn on the Campus of W. L., proved liimself one of the most loyal and interested members of the student body. The only thing on the debit side against Jiggs is that it has been persistently ru- mored that lie was in some way con- nected with the ornamentation of Laddie on St. Patrick ' s day. This rumor is sub- stantiated by the strongest kind of cir- cumstantial evidence, to-vvit : Jiggs is an Irishman, after the painting Laddie was first discovered in the neighborliod of the Beanery, Donahue ' s domicile, and a can of green paint was found in the rear of this establisliment immediately after the decoration. Now it is not the intention of the writer to impute the execution of this bit of art to Mr. Donahue, the facts are simply laid before the public for its information. Donahue coached the most successful basket ball team that ever represented this institution, receiving not a single de- feat during the entire season. .Tust at tlie time his baseball team hit their stride the war interfered and he and his ball tossers stepped out of the soft gray uniform and donned the khaki.

The ladies maintain that their darling, precious tweetums have as much right on the campus as those who pay eight hundred or a thousand dollars per year for the privilege of staying in the metropolis of Rockbridge. Women are a bit inconsistent after all ! ! One cannot step on the campus without running the risk of having a shaggy, dirty, flea-bitten colic dog run madly at his heels and at the same time let loose a series of canine yelps. Many an up- right stude has lost control of his other- wise proper vocabulary simply because the owners of these pests will not send them out with a maid. Ladies!! Ladies!! please, for the love of Mike, keep these wheezen-nosed, flea bitten, germ-carrying darlings at h ome in the privacy of your own boudoir, there you alone will suffer and the jioor stu- dents who are forced to remain here will not have to pay the debt incurred by you. Piu r Three hundred eleven THE FACULTY MEETING ORATIONS For years, professors have lectured on the same subjects, in the samee dry way, telling the same pointless jokes to the helpless students of this and other uni- versities. The poor victim has never had any protection, but has had to endure it all and summon up a sickly humble smile at the close. Recently, quite a reform has been inaugurated by our President. The professors are now required to afflict each other with five minute talks. One will talk on Freshman Supervision, another on How to Conduct a Recitation. A third will follow with a choice of sub- jects, ranging from The Financial Stand- ing of CbristopluT Columbus to The An- gelic DisiK)sition of Railroad Ruff. Of course, the latter subject can hardly be discussed in polite society. Generally, at this point in the faculty meeting. Profes- sor Long and Dr. Kern begin to arguing their respective merits in the gentle game of golf. Dr. Easter, being a live person and hoping to put a wee bit of life into the august Itody, tells of certain physio- logical inii)()ssibi1ities much to the horror of Brother Hoguee. After Mr. Dodd has contril Tit( d a story or so of fair Harvard, and Liv Smith tells how to grow fat, the old uiossbacks can stand it no longer and the meeting breaks up ignominiously. Page Three hundred twelve BOB MACDOUGLE In another part of this humorous sec- tion, you will find a reference to the ikeness tliat ' this young man bears to a certain famous ch aracter in Greek My- thology. Like many other things in (Uimpns Scandal, tliat reference is no joke. Bob has indeed carried the world on his shoulders at Washington and Lee. He is one of the men that you seldom see loafing at McCrum ' s or the pool room. Most valuable have been his serv- ices as football manager, in which ca- pacity he gave us a schedule that has added much to the reputation of Wash- ington and Lee athletics. Although it is a notorious fact that most collegiate ath- letic managers find plenty of chances to coin money by wagering on a winning team, yet Bob never bet but once and then returned the sheckles to the loser. Can you beat it? But enough of the managerial dope! Bob could do without it entirely and still have plenty of claim to fame. The dances that he has led while in the University are many and successful, reaching their climax in the Fancy Dress Ball of the ])resent year, which with the Durbar Court as its central idea received repre- sentation in many of the leading papers of the East. Ain ' t love ' rand ? That after dance date you have for Monday night of Finals 1917 A Jpui i ' parkH from tlip CJIampua Antitl One of the most remarkable characteristics of a Washington and Lee dance is the whole-hearted manner in which the would-be social stars flock to the rescue of the young lady who has been so unfortunate as to neglect the education of her pedal extremities in that greatest of womanly allurements — terpischorean dexterity. The Pan-Hellenic council is nothing more than a Mexican Arena with Tommy Farrar as the chief Toreador. The chief question now before the ribbon societies is, What inducement can we offer the Sophs, since Virginia is bone dry?

Dr. Harry resisting the temptation not to work is as funny as seeing Heine Gilliam scramble five dollar bills in an East Lexington holiday crowd. Page Three hundred thirteen iiiiiii Father Time ' s Private Secretary A SUGOESTION FOR RAISING FuNDS TO PaY OFF THE WaU DePT PtiffC Three hundred jaurteen You frequently hear some misguided youth, who has caught a wee small hit of the spirit of Wanderlust, express a desire to see something of the world. He may go even so far as to try to sell books or aluminum ware in the summer time, or take a trip to the top of House Mountain. But he soon finds that this Imcking up against the world is a very prosaic or disheartening business and wishes he were back under Dad ' s paternal roof. In W. W. Preston, however, Washington and Lee has a man who has stood the hardest blows that a varied experience could hand him, and who has in the end come out with a nature as square as they make ' em. He has traveled from the South Sea Isles to the wildest mountains in West Virginia. He has run pool rooms, bowling alleys, roller skating rinks, movie shows and what not — always fighting on through every conceivable discouragement to success. A year or so back, he felt a desire for a little peaceful rest and dropped into Lexington. Since here, he has won his way into the hearts of many of his fellow students. He quickly entered into the spirit of this great old school, and expressed his loyalty, not by a series of coyote college rah rah yells, but by a far more prac- tical method. He owns the leading and only — since the manager of the Dixie decided to take up his bed and walk elsewhere— theatre of the town. This he has time and again generously given over free of charge to the Athletic Association for the receiving of special wires from the games, with no other reward than the sincere gratitude of his college mates. Such a service we can not but be glad to recognize, and our only regret is that the Constitution does not provide for the awarding of a monogram to those who do so much, if not more, for our athletics as the stars on the field themselves. Such a man is W. W. Preston. We only hope that he will con- tinue in the man- agership of the Lyric, for while he does that popular resort will never share the fate of the ill-famed Dixie. If there ' s any- thing to advertise- ment we ought to be able to help the war fund by selling the 1920 Cream of the South. For fur- ther reference see the grandstand roof and every other lit- tle old walk of the University. 1 Since war has been declared, hard students have been as difficult to find in W. L. as smiles on the face of the head of the Latin department. , Zl J :d 3a£ uKi£ , Paije Three hundred fifteen lliJ New Man (just having met Bob McDougle) : Mr. McDougle reminds me of some famous character in Greek myth- ology.

I ' lif r Thiff liiindnd sixli-en 1 ' 1K1!()TTI AXI) KodKliS i IlX JT Ul ' TO THE GlOUY or Washington and Lee ' NuFF Said ! ! THE SOCIETY FOR SUPPRESSION OF DANCING WITH GIRLS. It is no seci-et, my boy, and I am vio- lating no confidence when I tell you that there is a man — using the word in a reck- less manner — who opposes dancing to the fullest extent of his powers at Washing- ton and Lee. This man is a power with the Board of Trustees and when he lets his jaw clamp down on some choice mor- sel of college scandal, he will not rest ti he has aired it before the Board. Tlius, when he hears that some young lady has appeared at the Fancy Dress Ball in a costume a la mode, he immediately gets busy and tries to find therein some good opening for a flank attack upon dancing. Again, if he has heard that some social lion has cut a class the morning after the Junior Prom, he rushes to the Fathers to the time of the Marseillaise, and shrieks out in revivalist tones of agony, Do away with dancing, and we shall need no Auto- matic Rule. The Board knows that the students are not quite ready for the aboli- tion of the sweetest of all their best pleas- ures in this wilderness of stunted family trees, for it remembered that last year a hand that reached out to feel the i)Ulse of the student body in that particular re- form, and it remembered that that hand gripped a cactus. When the gentleman saw the Board was not willing to precipi- tate a riot, or that it perhaps had still a wee bit of the blood of youth in its viens, he quietly and ingeniously contrived a way to accomplish his purpose without embarrassing either the President or the Board of Trustees. He will eventually succeed unless the students get on to his mode of procedure. This, my boy, is the way in which he hopes to realize his dream of infantilism : He has, even at this time, selected another member of the Faculty as his co-worker in the Society S. D. G., whose duties are to attend diplo- matically all the dances and keep his peepers and smellers open for anything that looks like terpsichorean scandal. Then, at twelve o ' clock he is to give old man Wright the wiidv and at two minutes thereafter the lights mvsteriously go out, and the whole party is thrown into gloom. At the next set of dances, this same diplo- matic killjoy turns up his watch half an hour, and repeats the above performance. This way, you see, the old students will not notice the gentle but certain twisting of the knot, and the new men will not know that once upon a time Washington and Lee dancers were famous social af- fairs, enjoyed and appreciated by ladies and gentlemen. Yea verily, my boy, ' twill not be long before, owing to the narrow- mindedness of these gleaming reformers, on our way to a dance we shall meet our- selves coming home. Our dances ! ! How long will they last? Page Three liitndred seventeen (greatttPHB ianring ©ram M kes a l tt It ' s great to be an editor, To sit up late at night, To scratch your wool, And shoot the bull.

The crowning feature of the dance was a contest staged between the dancing teams of Washington and Lee and the University of Virginia. The representa- tives from W. L. were Honey Bee Boyd, Patrick Collins, Scrump Jones and Bud McKenzie. The reporter was unable to get the names of the Virginia dancers be- cause the manager of that team had never met them. The contest was staged in the Sweet- briar gym. It followed the Opening Fig- ure. Captain Boyd lined up his well trained and seasoned veterans in the east end of the hall. The whistle blew and the orchestra cut loose on a wiwd fox trot. W. L. easily took the lead and held it for three straight dances until Bud Mc- Kenzie fainted and had to be revived by several of his antagonists. In the fourth dance Scrump cast a shoe and went lame. This accident left only Honey Bee and Patrick to hold up the colors of the white and blue. Seeming defeat was turned into victory in the last few seconds of the contest by a member of THE University getting his feet tangled in some of the young lady ' s wearing apparel and by his ak- wardness caused his partner and himself to fall into a huge bowl of goldfish. Thus the game went to Washington and Lee by one fall-down. One of the great catastrophes of the year was the collapse of the balconies in the chapel under the weight of the huge throng assembled to hear the In- tercollegiate Debate.
