■ P ALUMIJI OPFIGE ■ W3 f . 5 - (Li}t iHrmnrtal O atnttay ME MORIAL (jATEWAY, at the entrance to the Campus, is to be erected by the Alumni and Friends to the memor of the heroes of Washington and Lee, who entered the Service for the World War. This gateway will be const ructed of granite, limestone and brick. Its base will rest on a great jjranite block, the main columns rising from this are made of britk, tiiese will bear bronze plates on which will be inscribed the names; this is topped by limestone blocks surmounted by an iron lamp. The main column is over seventeen feet high, the driveway distance is twenty-four feet and the distance between the smaller columns for the pedestrians is between five and six feet. These smaller columns are of limestone. The whole makes up a very attracti e and impressive monument. lime heals most things, yet not even Time can quite wholly efface the tender memory we have of our men who threw aside all selfish thoughts and concentrated themselves to service in the gigantic battle which the world v aged for the Liberty of Humanity. So quietl ' they went, et with eagerness, not blindly, but with eyes fixed on that one goal--to ;a e a startled world from slavery. Each one a man ' s man, in arious walks of life, et having one souls-side common to them all, tlie capacity for nobility and ' •acririce. Some died as we would have them die, fighting for Right, faces to the Foe, trusting God, and no man can name the burdens borne nor any man forget. And :.o our reverence and gratitutle pr(jmpts us to erect this Memorial, our love too for their memory. Line that Hows cm through the ears, ever widening and deep- ing as it flows. [Ki ll I ja 1920 PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS WASHINGTON S. LEE UNIVERSITY G.H.BABER EDITOR MBBURTJ-R BUSINESS MANAGER M a iriitrattnu lEUTENANT CLOVIS MOOMAW, killed in battle October 5, 1018. This simple inscription on the monument of an American soldier at once excites our pride and admiration. To the mere passer b it is an impersonal tribute to courage and patriotism. The date fixes the great world war as the scene of action, into which America was forced to enter simply for the sake of humanit -. But the name, Clovis Moomaw, identifies to his loved ones a devoted son, who honored his father and mother, an affectionate brother who stuck close to his lo ed ones and a lo al and sincere friend, without guile and without reproach. These are sacred precincts into which we ma not enter. Washington and Lee pa s her tribute to his virtues as a man, as an American citizen, faithful and effi- cient in the discharge of the duties that devolved upon him, and who esteemed irtue as its own reward and patriotism as dearer than life itself. It was these virtues which made his life worth the li ing and his example worthy of imitation. The proclama- tion of war found him a full professor in the Law Department, enjo ing the entire confidence of his associates, and the affection and admiration of his students. He was happy and contented in his work, and was beyond the age of the draft. His work was so successful that the Universit) could ill .aft ' ord to lose his services, and when it be- came known that he was about to resign and olunteer for ser ice in the aiiin , trustees and friends of the L ni ersity besought him to change his mind, but there was always the same unanswerable response: I ha e no one dependent upon me for support, and Page Sivi I feel that it is my duty to go. So he entered the training camp, was commissioned first lieutenant and failed to France. In the army his devotion to duty, his courage and his manly bearing inspired the confidence of his superiors and greatly endeared him to his followers. This sense of duty was the impelling motive of his life and the i ' uide of his conduct. It led him from a bed of ease to a field of hardship, from a home of comfort to a camp of privation, from a place of safety to the battlefield, and to death. His love of country, his sense of obligation to it, was greater than his love of life. His -Alma -Mater delights to honor his memory, and places his name among that galaxy of her ?ons who ha e offered up their lives in the faithful discharge of duty, and to his memor we affectionateh dedicate this volume.

Not since nine- teen seventeen has there been time and funds for a large annual. However, this year the large enrollment, the build- ing projects of the University, the general feeling of hope- fulness, of prosperity and cheerfulness have brought to the students the desire for a greater Washington and Lee and to the editors the plan for a greater Calyx. It has been our purpose to cover every phase ot campus life; to sum up the years work so completely that there would be need for no other record than this. The editors realizing that the Calyx belongs to the students have tried to please them so far as possible in the arrangement of the book. The thought of furthering the interests of our Alma Mater has also held a prominent place in our plans.

The endowment which, by Southern stan- dards, was ample a quarter of a century ago, is now only $1,500 per student, when b modern standards it should be at least $6,000. Its total revenue of recent ears has averaged $218 per student, when it should exceed $500. Its teach- ing force consists of only 20 regular facult. -members when it should exceed 40. This financial poverty, growing more severe with its increasing educational pros- perity, and now rendered acute by the recent fifty per cent diminution in the pur- chasing power of its scant) income, explains the inauguration of its Million-Dollar Campaign, the success of which is already filling with enthusiastic optimism all con- nected with the institution. In o erflouing attendance, in the preparation, maturity, and loyalt ' of its student- body, in national patronage, national popularity, and educational prospects for the future, the outlook could hardU be brighter. In their public conventions over the South, the Confederate Veterans and the Daughters of the Confederacy are publicly accepting Washington and Lee as the typ- ical all-Southern University, and commending it to the patronage and liberality of all who value the ideals and traditions of the Old South. The headquarters of the Alumni Association have been nici ed to Lexington, the harmony and cooperation of the Association with the Board of Trustees are all that could be desired, and all o er the country the local alumni associations are re-organizing for the benefit of their Ima Mater. i l Page Forty-nine Actual work on the Million-Dollar Campaign began in October, after two months of preparation and organization, with President Smith as Director, Prof. Howard Lewis Hall as Executive Secretary, and Mr. Robert H. Adams as Resident Secretary. The mode of procedure might be described as the progressive whirlwind campaign. Two Trustees at once gave $5,000 each. Covington and Clifton Forge sub- scribed almost $5,000 apiece. Lexington and the nearby country reached the astonish- ing figure of $46,000. Roanoke $24,000, Charleston, W. Va., $35,00 0, and Lynchburg $25,000. Meanwhile the McCormick family of Chicago gave President Smith $200,000 as a memorial endowment fund to their father, Cyrus H. McCormick, the great in- ventor of the reaper, the General Education Board of New York added $100,000, a Washington City alumni dinner netted $7,500, and so the good work goes on gather- ing momentum as it rolls from its present half-way station towards the million-dollar goal. The Board has already authorized the addition of six or seven new members to the faculty next September, and a substantial addition has been made to the salaries of the faculty. The construction of a new dormitory to hold 116 men has been begun, two professors ' residences authorized, and $5,000 appropriated for the chemical and physical laboratories. The architect is now preparing plans for an up-to-date modern dining hall to replace the outgrown Beanery of former times, and an appropriation of $1,000 has been made for the beginning of the development of Davidson Park, which will one day be covered with professors ' homes. Surely the present optimism of all connected with the University is fully justified, and never was the call of Alma Mater to her sons and lovers to lend a hand so urgent and inspiring as now, nor so sure of a loyal and affirmative answer ■t ' aye Fifty ALUMNI JOHN WILLIAM DAVIS L nited States Ambassador to Great Britain.

Broud Historian Puof Sfvi-nly-five PHOLDING the glorius traditions of the Law School, which is conceded to be the backbone of the University, the small group of aspiring young Seniors, known to the outside world as Class of 1920, has added a new lustre to the fair escutcheon of our institution. Outside of that, as they say in common parlance, They are Some Class! Upon being discharged from their country ' s service, quite a few of the members of this class re-entered the Law School to complete their interrupted course, while a goodly number made their initial appearance in January, 1919. Several of these World War Veterans have returned to us with the Croix de Guerre, the Dis- tinguished Service Cross and other decorations for bravery, and we are justly proud of them. They have not only won fame and distinction for themselves, but have showered honor and glory upon their Alma Mater. Needless to say, our class like every other at Washington and Lee has for itself an enviable war record. The various and sundry achievements of this incomparable group of graduating young attorneys are far too multifarious to recount ; for in every branch of college en- deavor, in practically all college activities, they have made themselves conspicuous by their unchallenged predomination. However, a brief mention of a few of the honors they have won will undoubtedly be of probative value. The presidency of the Student Body — one of the highest honors upon the campus — was placed in the capable hands of a Senior lawyer; the management of the famous 1919 Generals was likewise en- trusted to a Senior lawyer ; a Senior lawyer calls the meetings of the Graham-Wash- ington Literary Society to order. The staffs of the Ring-tum Phi and Calyx would be hardly complete without the names of Senior lawyers; Senior lawyers starred in basketball, football, baseball, and track; and in social circles — why, it is to laugh to see how smoothly and keenly those Senior lawyers outshine their younger and less ma- ture brethren of the various departments of the University. In every quarter, our motto has been leadership. Probably vve can account for the grand success of our class when we take into consideration the remarkable influence exerted by our faculty of marked ability, who, led b Joe Long ' s rich Spanish tenor, aided and abetted by the Pleading and practised tones of Boss Aloreland. and that harmony produced by Professors T ree and Williams, dispense their notes with rare technique to a daily audience of eager, absorbent, and admiring listeners. . ow that we have successfully completed our course under an able and devoted faculty, and have well nigh exhausted the luscious volumes of legal lore afforded by that grand old temple of law known as Tucker Hall, we stand readv, willing, and able to encounter and untie the Gordian-knots of our profession, and make our pres- ence in the world of legaldom, as attorneys and councillors-at-large, just as profound- ly felt as it was on the campus of Washington and Lee. Historian. IL Page Seventy-six EUGENE PECK ALDERSON, Summervilie, W est ' irginia. This fair lad came to Washington and Lee in January, 1919, just to see how they do things, and incidentally to study law. When it came to knock- ing ' em cold on exams, he was always right there. He took his preparatory work at various schools in West Virginia, but when it came to studying law and getting ready for his profession, he naturally drifted into Washington and Lee. On leaving school, this young attorney intends to completely revise the laws of West Virginia and put them in a simpler form, so as to keep down litiga- tion. He is a member of the Graham Washington Lit- erary Society and of the Albert Sidney Boat Club. EDWARD BARNSFORD BALLOU, Oxford, North Carolina. Better known as Smoke the gentleman from North Carolina. Smoke came to us in the fall of 1918 and helped to make the world safe for Demo- crats in the S. A. T. C. Since his advent from the wilds of Oxford, N. C, he has developed into the college fashion plate. Before coming to W. and L. he attended Horner Military School and the I ' niver- sity of North Carolina. Ballou is of the speculative turn of mind and is willing to back his speculations, no matter what kind, with the cold, hard cash. He is the only man that ever had the nerve to bet that he would make above ninety on an examination in the Law School — and won. He has a desire to go to South America and see the beautiful Senoritas of old Spain before he settles down, which wish we hope will be gratified. However Smoke is a good student and we pre- dict future success for him in his chosen field, whether it be law or the tobacco business, between which he is vet undecided. Page Seventy-seven EMILE B. BEATTY, iae s c Beattyville, Kentucky. Judge is right in line ith those college men we dub the wise ones , because he knows what he wants, gets just that and sincerely wants what he gets. On October eleventh in 1S92 E. B. was born, and he immediately began doing the things that a baby usually does. Later he graduated from a good High School and accepted a position in a Kentucky court house. He, like many others who looked ahead, realized that there was something bet- ter in store for him, and he decided to pursue an academic course at Centre College. There he passed his work, made the usual societies, and plaved around, and so far E. B. was the usual type. But in January, 1919, he met Joe Long and registered in that worthy ' s Law School with the determination to be a good lawyer. Since then Judge has made an average of over 90 in all of his work and yet not acquiring the reputation of being a grind. A good lawyer must know men and be able to make friends, and observing others and making very little noise about it; and making friends by being one is an art that this embryo lawyer possesses. In the Graham Literary Society, in the Square and Compass Society, in his fraternity, and everywhere on the campus he has used his art, and in the days to come he will know that he did know men and that his friends have not forgotten him. ' ' NIAX ROBERT BROUDY, Norfolk, Virginia. A man with a varied career and gifted with many talents is this young Polish blonde. Being born at Norfolk, Virginia, which he omits as a handicap, this dancing demon who so often has thrilled our hearts with his wonderful e ' olution of the dance of the Influenza germs entered our walls of learning in the early fall of 1917, matriculating in the academic school. After spending his Freshman ear there, he enlisted in the S. A. T. C. Immediately upon being discharged, the thought of bringing the Kaiser to trial flashed through his mind, and January 2, 1919, found him a student in the Law School with the ultimate hope of presiding as chief justice. In his two years in this department, he has led his class, an honor which he well deserves and which characterizes his ability as a student. At the age of twenty. Max goes into the world ready and capable of lending a legal hand, and the best wishes of every Washington and Lee student follow him. Here are some of the things which he has done while here: Assistant Business Manager of the Southern Collegian, 1917-18; Glee Club, 1917-18; Historian of Intermediate Law Class; Troubadors (Dramatic section), 1919-20; Historian Senior Law Class; W L Pick Ups, 1918-19. Page Sarnty-cight WILLIAM BENJAMIN FRANKLIN CULE, 4 r A0 OAK ASP Fredericksburg, ' irginia. The admiral came to Washington and Lee in 1916— a full-fledged B.A. from Richmond College. When we trace his career still farther hack, we find that Fredericksburg, ' irginia, is his home, hut that his love of travel has led him not only from college to college, but also, from continent to continent; for between the days at Richmond and those at Wash- ington and Lee, Cole taught at Tsing-Hua college near Pekin, China. Cole has been a big man on the campus. His associates in the Law School know him to be a bril- liant and conscientious student, the men who boarded at the beanery in 1917 when Cole managed it recog- nized his exceptional executive ability, those who served with liim on the Executi ' e C )mmittee and the Athletic counsel found him an efficient, sagacious, and unselfish servant of the Stvident Body, while all those who have come in contact with him are im- pressed with his sterling character and his pleasing personality. Before he came to Washington and Lee, Cole was also something of an athlete, playing football and basketball and coaching in both sports. Time spent in the Navy has delayed his degree for two years, but he has its number now, and the whole class expects to see him as successful and honored elsewhere as he has been here. LOUIS BERKELEY COX, 4 rA $A OAK Baltimore, Maryland. Here is a man whom we all honor and to whom all honor is due. Berkeley saw se ' eral campaigns in France as a First Lieutenant of Infantry, was wounded at St. Miliiel, and after several months of convalescing at Walter Reed Hospital is finishing his Law course here and waiting for his discharge from the arm} ' . For e.xtraordinary bravery in lead- ing his men under fire. Berkeley was given the Dis- tinguished service Cross and the Belgian Order of the Crown. However, it is not for his service record alone, heroic as it may be, that we honor him. We honor him for his modesty, his integrity, his brilliant mind, and his attractive personality. Berkeley was a big man on the campus in the ante-bellum days, but, as he says, that is ancient history as law is taking up his lime now. The list of his college honors, however, goes to prove that he is a well-rounded man. When he leaves next June, the campus will lose one of the best men that has ever trod it, and one of the few men of whom it mav be said that everyone honors and admires.

Etymologically speaking, Fadjo is in Indian word meaning Distilled Spirits which fact, we have been told, has had a prophetically significant bearing on this youngster ' s modus operandi . But since the query of what ' s in a name puzzled the ■well-known Shakespeare, we had better proceed along more relevant lines. Fadjo made his d but on our campus as a law student in January, 1919, and ever since, this tall young chap has won the well- deserved admiration of his classmates for his capa- bilitv as a propounder of the law, his reputation as a Good Scout , and lastly and mostly, his modest and unassuming demeanor. Fadjo expects to meander back to Fort Smith, after obtaining the much-coveted sheepskin, where he will plead and demur to Jiis heart ' s content. He will probablv take his father in as his frofessional asso- ciate, and to give the firm a bit of local color we would suggest that the name be Cravens and Father . Best wishes Fadjo, and good luck. PAUL CONinVAY CRUMPLER, K2 A Magnolia, Arkansas. Paul comes to us from the city of Magnolia, as we are modestly told, the flower of that grand old state of Arkansas . After his preliminary preparation at Magnolia High School, which by the way possesses a veil fully as artistic as its name, Paul started in earch of legal knowledge. He came to W. L. to ake his law degree in two years and with that end n sight has spent most of his time cloistered in that portion of the College known as the Law House . As we have often heard, till waters run deep and vith Paul. Although not given to superfluous conversation, those who know him find in him a staunch friend, a hard worker and a character and personality which give promise of success in his chosen field. We understand that having finished his course, he will return to his native state to hang out his shingle. Page Eighty BEVERLV ANDREW DAVIS, JR. 5AK nK l S C Rocky Mount, Virginia. Andrew hails from Rocky Mount, Virginia, and began his college career at Roanoke College. He spent two years there, saw the error of his wav, and entered the academic department at Washington and Lee. After one vear ' s work here he answered the call of his countr ' and rendered valuahle service as a Second Lieutenant. After the war he decided to take up the profession of law. Fie seems to have no trouble in passing his work, as he does it bv enter- ing into the post-prandial lethargy and resting up . He takes great interest in Literary work, and in recogniton of his speaking ability, he was elected President of the Graham Washington Literary Soci- ety and was also selected by the society to represent it in the final celebration contact in 1919. His favorite pastime is discussing the political sit- uation. He has Harvey ' s weekly and the National Republican as his authorities, and from them he obtains his information. .As a political genius, he has no equal, and we may look for him to occupy a high position in the political world in the future. President of (Jraham Washington Literary Soci- ety; Final Orator, 1919; Member of the Albert Sid- ney Boat Club. MAURICE JOSEPH KARL DAVIS, ■t En Greensburg, Pennsylvania. This young counsellor with the senatorial brow also answers to the name of Tossie . He was born in the great metropolis of Westmoreland county, PennsN ' lvania, universally known by its aborigines as Greensburg. The fact that he is a native of the Keystone State probably accounts for the general comicalness of his nature. After shining in all branches of athletics at CJreensburg High School, Toss starred at quarterback on the ' arsit ' eleven at Bucknell ; at Pitt, where he was also prominent as a footballist, he developed an athnity for the legal profession, and soon became a student in law. His own ambitions becoming interrupted by those of the Kaiser, our shapeless hero procured a tailor-made uniform and joined the navy as a salty, seagoing gob, aboard the battleship New Hampshire. After the war, Tossie having exhausted all legal possi- bilities at Pitt, and having been served with Lefty ' s Bulletin Process elaborating on the gin in Virginia, accepted jurisdiction in the old Dominion with a determination to pursue his law course to a standstill at Tucker Hall. .And if he tackles his legal prob- lems as surely and as pluckily as he tackled his oppo- nents on Wilson Field — well, say Boy! dust off the Supreme Court bench.

He is an infant prodiRV, a ladies ' man with reservations , and a fiend on first base. . fter winning all of the honors, both scholastic and athletic, conferred in his high school, he dis- pla ed his usual vigor in the same lines at ' alpa- liaso University for one year. He was inducted into the S. A. T. C. at Michigan State, but was soon ent to an I). T. S., where he received his commis- sion. Lieut. Drye then sought a new world to con- i|uer and came to V. L. and entered the Law School January 18, 1919. His rare ability soon made iisclf felt and he is known as a shark in all of his ilasses. But he is a shark without being a book- worm. He has a keen interest in all campus activ- ities. After dofling the cap and gown, with his LL.B. to encourage him, Drye expects to begin the ascent c.f the ladder of preferment in Texas and we have confidence that he will go far. College honors — monogram man, one year of base- hall ; football squad, 1919-.:0; vice-president of Troubadours, 1919-20. JOSEPH THOMAS ENGLEBY, JR., OA KA Roanoke, Virginia. His classmates decided that the name Joe was bad enough to blight any man with, so refrained from giving the hero of this sketch a nickname. Con- sequently he has passed his time with us under the Bible borrowed name of Joseph, a name to which he has added new lustre and significance. Born within whistle ' s blow of the N ' W railroad in a town known as Roanoke our friend rapidly sprang to sturdy manhood in that primeval environ- ment. Having attained sufficient age and knowledge he wended his way to V. P. L to inaugurate his athletic career, and so well did he launch his ship that his name immediately became a fixture on the Blacksburg line-up. In his second year he suffered the misfortune of a broken leg and was forced to return to Roanoke where, after a convalescence of several months, he entered Roanoke College and finished out the year. Heeding the call of the honored profession he en- tered the Law School at V. r L. in the autumn of ' 16 where he at once displayed rare ability in mat- ters that had in former times caused Blackstone and Kent no little worry and loss of appetite. The realm (if sport still called him with insistent voice and the cold winter days found him dividing his time be- tween Tucker Hall and the basketball floor. t)n the latter he maile his letter as a member of one of the fastest teams the University has ever produced. I ' mjr Kighty-fVin CARL ALSTIEN FOSS, A® A4 ASP S C Buffalo, New York. The Empire State lias been pecullarl ' fortunate putting on the market such a nohle product as we now behold. Carl made his initial appearance at Tucker Hall in the fall of 1916 after having re- ceived his preliminary education at such schools and colleges as would tolerate his courses of devilment. He remained with us until the spring of 1917 when he was appointed to the First Officers ' Training Camp at Fort Myer, Va., where he was commis- sioned. After almost two years ' service overseas he came back last fall to resume his study of law. Few men have the ability to do the work that Carl has done sinces his sojourn in Lexington. Carl has not fully decided just what he will do, but his many friends feel sure that he will succeed in whatever he attempts. He was Secretary of the Republican Club in 1916. HOWARD KEMPER GIBBONS, $K2 A I HAN Roanoke, Virginia. (Jib ' s first appearance at W. L. was as a star performer on the cinder path for Roanoke High School some six or seven years ago in the Interscho- lastic Meets. Going back to the Magic City with his medals and the memory of an enjoyable time here, he also carried with him the idea that W. L. was the place for him. So, after serving in France as Lieutenant in the Intelligence Service, he entered the Law School in January, 1919, and will be pro- claimed a Bachelor of Laws in June, 1920. His presence in Tucker Hall each morning is a signal that classes are ready to start, and he turns out the lights each night on leaving. The fact that he is a constant worshiper at the shrine of John Radolph Tucker does not mean that he is unknown to the ladies or to McCrums and other places where good fellows get together. He was Historian of the Junior Law Class in 1919, and is a member of the Glee Club this year, taking an active part in the formation of the Troubadours. He will practice law somewhere below the Mason and Dixon Line. WiLie Eighly-three PINK c;rissom, ' an Alstyne, Texas. The sage of East Onrmitory is this tall Texan. I ' he students who frequent this historic building listen with awe to the all inspiring words of this philosopher. But happily those who reside there have not a monopoly on his talents. As chairman (if the finance committee of the V. M. C.

A goodly amount of the sunshine of Florida went into the personal equipment of Cilick . This young man came to Washington and Lee in 1917 and straightway and forthwith began building his en- viable record. He knocked ' em cold in the Law School with the same ease and facility that he tripped the light fantastic on the polished pavilion. His infectious smile and winsome ways have brought many a Hotter to the hearts of the more deadly of the species.

Page liighty-juur LEIGH BICKNER HANES, WX 2Y Roanoke, Virginia. With dip in hand Leigh stepped from the por- tals of Hainpton Sydney who with great reluctancy gave up her claim to this promising young man. With fame as an orator and recognition won on the gridiron, Leigh decided to turn his marked ability to the study of law at Washington Lee. Here he pursued with energy and solved with ease the mys- teries of Blackstone a d Minor . Soon compli- cations set in and when it became a question of love or law, the latter fell by the wayside and the Spring of 1917 witnessed the wedding. Leigh remained out of school during the two years of world strife, but the fall of 1919 found him again, with the assistant of Leigh Junior, among the aspirants of legal knowledge. The many good write-ups and enthusiastic com- mendations seen in the newspapers of our athletic teams have emanated from the scholastic hand of Leigh, who handled well that branch of advertising. So to this illustrious product of Roanoke, Virginia, we predict a most successful career. ECHOLS ALCUTT HANSBARGER, K $A RAN CC KB S C Peterstown, West Virginia. Cireat joy, tempered with some slight consterna- tion, reigned in the metropolis of Peterstown on the fifteenth of September, A. D. 1896. There was jov for the populace knew that a great barrister had been given to the world; and there was consterna- tion too, because the squalling of the infant disturbed the neighborhood no little. But in the course of time Eck bandoned such little diversions, and we find him a youth of nineteen years, just graduated from Greenbrier Military School, on board the Peterstown Limited with a ticket to Lexington clutched tightly in his fist. Arriving on the campus with the historic class of ' 19, E. A. made haste to matriculate in the Academic School as a preparation for his work in Law. More firmly convinced than ever that the Law was his forte, however, the next Fall found him under the guiding hand of Daddy . But his pursuit of knowledge was again interrupted, as he left for Training Camp in the Spring of 1918. After winning his lieutenancy and becoming proficient in the art of passing the buck, Hans returned to Tucker Hall in February, 1919. Since that time he has been giving a good account of himself, which is the reason for his appearance in thi- number of the Calyx . Eck has held several class offices, among which are: Historian of Intermediate Law, 1917- ' 1S; Vice- President Senior Law, 1919- ' 20. After graduation he will practice law, although he has not x et de- cided upon the br Hh he will in time adorn. Piii t ' tighty-fiTe jtJHN McKINLEV HART, Rockbridge Baths, Virginia. John entered the Academic Department of Wash- ington and Lee in the fall of 1914. He spent two successful years in the pursuit of the elusive A.B., and although earnestly requested by both Dr. Smith and Dean Campbell to remain in the Academic, he transferred to the great and only law school , which was at that time so eHiciently and creditabh- presided over by Judge Burks, now of the Virginia Su- preme Court, ably assisted by our present dean, J03. K. Long, and professors, Moreland and - Ioomaw. He was president of the second year Law Class of 1917- ' 18, but was not permitted to complete the course, for he answered I ' ncle Sam ' s call for marines. He became a member of the eleventh regiment, serving nine months in sunny France. When the A. E. F. permitted him to retire from service, he answered anotlier call and thereupon re-entered his old law class at W. L. from which he will be graduated with his coveted LL.B. this spring. He has been an assiduous student of law, and his friends predict a promising future for him in the practice of his chosen profession. He is a member of the .■Mbert Sidnev Boat Club. MORRIS HAMLET HESTER, I rA (I A I S C Lynchburg, ' irginia. Morris entered the University in the fall of 1914 after having graduated from Lynchburg High School. His academic career, however, rested light- 1 upon his brow and he dispensed with this degree in three years. Thence he turned his mind toward tlie legal profession and matriculated in Law for the session of 1917- ' 18. While engaged in his study (?), Omelette as he is familiarly known to his friends, had wished upon him the highly undesirable job of selling out the Co-op . This duty he executed to the satisfac- tion of all. He was called to the service of his coun- iry in the spring of 1918, and held the admission of a shave-tail in the infantry. Morris resumed his interrupted study of law in January, 1919. While not a bookworm, Hester ' s record bears ample record to his capacitN for work. His achievement of an academic tlegree in three years and a law degree in eighteen months is evi- dnce in this connection. This session he has held the position of assistant in the Biology Laboratory. Page Eighly-six ■ THOMAS SELDEN Jt)NES, ATO A WF 13 2 KB ' I S C Huntington, West ' irginia. Slirimp according to the general concensus of opinion arrived in Lexington in tliat remote period known as the Dark Ages . Having received the primary elements of his education at Staunton Mili- tary Academy, he entered the Academic School, and now, either Shrimp is commonly associated with Washington and Lee, or Washington and Lee is commonly associated with him. In the fall of 1917, influenced by a change of opinion, he entered the Law School, where he has come to he hailed by his most enthusiastic admirers as a likely candidate to succeed Joe Long. And indeed, from the decided impression of something lacking on the campus dur- ing his absence with the Marine Fl ing Corps in the fall of 191S, we fear that the social calendar in com- ing years will be incomplete, imless he assumes a position among the pillars of the University . Shrimp ' s popularity upon the campus is attested for by the following list of honors which he has attained for the last decade: President of the Student Body, 1919; President of the Cotillion Club, 1919- ' 20; Varsity Baseball four years. Captain Baseball 1920; President of the Senior Law Class; Monogram Club. ELDOX P. KIXG, •tPA AM Washington, D. C. King is a product of the West — Portland, Oregon, to be exact, and his advent to Washington and Lee dates from January. 1915, from which date his attendance, broken by the late war, has been more or less spasmodic. He was prepared for W. L. at Hill Militar ' Academv in Oregon, and on leaving this institution he entered West Point. From Janu- ary, 1915, until the present year King has pursued his studies at Washington and Lee at various inter- vals. His course was broken into by the war. In the army he held the rank of Captain. King his studiously taken advantage of the op- portunities afforded in Tucker Hall, and has gained the reputation among his brother lawyers as being a walking encyclopedia of the law. At present he is boxing instructor at the L ' niver- sitv ' , and his pupils are convinced that he is a man of action. Page Eighty-seven • ROBERT BOREMAN McDUUGLE. ATA I A I OAK 5 CC RAX 13 S C Parkersburg, West Virginia. Bob, alias Dodo Bones , blessed Parkersburg and West ' irginia by being born there. He entered Washington and Lee as a Freshman in 191J, and has sta ed with us to the end. He got his A.B. ' ' in June, 1917, just prior to his entering the army. Bob enjoys the great distinction of having led one of the May Day dances at Sweet Briar during that first sojourn at W. and L. This completed, he served in France as a First Lieutenant for fourteen months. He always managed well at college, in fact, he managed the 1915 football team so well that upon hearing that the Generals had decided to defeat CJeorgia Tech in 1919, he could not resist the temptation to return and guide them once more. Bob had already been admitted to the West Vir- ginia bar in 19IS, but as he felt that a little learning was a dangerous thing he was all the more influ- enced to return and get the coveted sheepskin. Dur- ing the years that he graced the Washington and Lee campus, Bob made out the 1915, 1916, 1917, and the 19.!i) football schedules. It was by no means along these lines alone that he excelled, as the Cireek alphabet contiguous with his name shows ver ' clearly. Judging the future by the past, we would predict for him marked success in the wider fields of usefulness that he is now entering.

Mac hails from the Keystone State, and after taking preparatory work at Harrisburg Academy he yielded to the allurements of the legal profession, and after thorough investigation chose W. and L. as his source of knoyvledge. So it happened that in the fall of 1916, the idol of tJreencastle became a fixture in Tucker Hall. His course of study was, however, somewhat interrupted through enlistment in the field artillery of the United States for a period of ten months, serving with the A. E. F. as a member of the 79th division. Imme- diately upon being discharged, his first thought was W. and L., and this fall we found him secure within the halls of the Law School As a student he has always managed to get by with plenty to spare, and we predict that when he gets out in life to fight his own legal battles, he will do as well as he did in his school days — Get by anil with plenty to spare. Pa e Eighly-eighl ■ GEORGE F. MITCHELL, J)A I Revere, Massacluisetts. Friend Buck hails from tlie Old Bay State, at tlie Revere High School he received the training that made him a star debater, and which will make him a successful lawyer. He is endowed with an eloquence that makes you see quite clearlv what is (or isn ' t) even more clearly why it is (or isn ' t). With such gifts and such training he is bound to win out in the race. Buck began his college career at the Law School of Boston I ' niversity. After a year at that institu- tion he decided that it would be a good plan to continue his work at some school far away from home, where he could enjoy real college life; so he came to Washington and Lee. We all know how well he has done here. After he gets his degree Buck intends to take ad- vanced law work in his home state, to prepare him- self for the brilliant career we predict for him. HjAMES DEAN OWENS, 5N WF. Rome, Georgia. Along in the fall of 1915, a terrific hurricane swept the Atlantic Coast. Out of the wreckage deposited in Lexington came Papa Jazz Dean. Wintering two seasons in the Academic School, Dean finally decided to enter the Law Scho il. ' hen it comes to dancing this Georgian is reput- ed to have ball-bearing ankles. The Jazz King has given the fruits of years ' experience to his Alma Mater in the latest dance — The Hammer Lock . When Dean finishes at W. and L. he intends to recodifv the Georgia law. In years to come, future generations will abide by Judge Owens ' decisions. Page Eighty-nine WILLIAM PAUL PARSONS, Independence, Virginia. Independence, where is it? Nobod - knows. Paul graduated from V. M. I. in 1915 and after teaching school for a while, entered the army serving two years as a First Lieutenant. He entered V. and L. in February, 1919, and has thus had the peculiar distinction of having been both a rat and a mink , a combination hard to conceive of. Besides his work in the Law School, Paul finds time to be an active member of the Ciraham -Wash- ington Literary Society and an instructor in mathe- matics in the University. Outside of his college work, he is well versed in the political issues of the dav, and we say without hesitation that he will soon be a leader in the state. When the fifth Congres- sional District of Virginia goes Republican, suffice it to sav he will adorn the halls of Congress. Member of Ciraham-Washington Literary Society, member of Albert Sidney Boat Crew; Instructor in Mathematics. RICHARD SINGLETON PAULETT, KA nAX CC 13 KB s y S C FarTnville, Virginia. The fall of 1915 found the campus enlivened, yea enriched, by the presence of this worthy gentleman from Farmville. Having consumed all of the learn- ing dispensed at his native high school and having read Lefty ' s essay on Don ' t be a Boxcar Dick turned his face toward the West and made a pil- grimage to our Mecca of learned men, cue artists and honey sippers — Washington and Lee. Having a firm belief that a broad education was an absolute essential to a well-rounded life and busi- less career, Dick immediately set out to make his education the broadest ever. First matriculating in the Commerce School, he in rapid succession came in touch with the Engineer School, the College, the School of Physical Education, etc. ad infinitum. At the very moment when our hero should have blossomed into the full Collegemanhood the Call of the Khaki pulled him to the flying field where it is said he spent some of the fastest days of his life. A short time later, the memorial November 11, 19IS, found our Richard without a Job and Wash- ington and Lee, rising from a sleep of two years again cast her spell upon him. Consequently Janu- ary, 1919, found him in Tucker Hall among those about to climb to intellectual independence and polit- ical domination via the Law College. That he is a man about the campus, and an effi- cient recipient of college jobs and enjoys the follow- irjg of a host of true friends is shown by the follow- ing: Sophomore and Junior Assistant Mgr. Baseball; Secretary and Treasurer P. A. N. ; President Junior Law Class and — yes we will let it out — Editor of the Humor Section of the Calyx 1920. Pag f Sinely MATTHEW WHITE PAXTON, JR., B.A., ATH BK OAK $A HAN CC 2 Lexington, Virginia. Being a native of Lexington when Matt landed in College the fall of 1914 nobody thought he would amount to much. But no one in college now remembers the hazy past imless it be Shrimp Jones, and he has forgotten. It ' s been swallowed up now by Matt ' s record of present achievements and he is leaving College this year, a veritable Alexan- der, sighing for new worlds to conquer. He has done nothing but what he has done it well, and he has done everything. Almost paradoxical he has run the gamut of distinctions without being one-sided in any of them, from leading the Final Ball on one hand to grabbing a coveted Phi Beta Kappa Key on the other. H anvbodv thiriks he o ' erlooked anything take a slant at his honors: Ring-turn Phi Staff, ' 14- ' 15, ' 15- ' 16, ' 16- ' 17; Calyx Staff, ' 15- ' 16, ' 16- ' 17; Basketball Manager ' IS; Final Week Committee, 17, ' 19; President of Fancv Dress Ball, ' 18; President of Cotillion Club ' 18; President Final Ball ' 18; Mathe- matics Assistant, ' 19; Promoter of Campaign for New Students of U.

But for the laudits of those who have seen him in action on Wilson Field and the readv praise of those who know him intimately, a stranger would think he occupied an insignificant sphere in the college life of Washington and Lee. Like many of the athletes of ante-bellum days, he enlisted in the army shortly after the outbreak of the war. After serving his country heroically with the 27th division in France, he returned to Washing- ton and Lee again with the two-fold purpose of getting his degree and contributing to the glory of Washington and Lee ' s track team His athletic serv- ices were in a measure rewarded when he was made captain of the cross country team of 1919. But all his honors were not gained on the athletic field; those who frequent Tucker Hall will remem- ber him as an apostle of The majesty of the Law .

His first ' ear at Washington and Lee, 1917- ' 18, was a hard one since he tried to do all his work in one year — or so, it seemed to others not quite so liusy — but he made good with grades far above the general average. The next year he spent as assist- ant secretary of a certain railway construction com- pany in the Mountaineer state. In this work he be- came so engrossed this his friends doubted whether he cared to finish the work begun in ' ashington and Lee; but 1919 fountl him in line for a degree in Law. Harold makes friends wherever he goes. He was elected President of the Junior Law Class his first vear on the campus. He is a conscientious student, a loyal friend and a live wire in everything he tackles. Success awaits him in whatever direction his service extends. • KENDRICK L. SCOTT, 2AE HAN CC A Atlanta, Georgia. Scottie was born in (Jeorgia ' s capital, down as he savs, In God ' s Country . As a little bare-footed, Roman-nosed, high foreheaded boy. he was a leader — .Atlanta ' s tradition teaches of his excellence — a natural born barnyard baseball pitcher; proficient marble, and unparalleled in ringing the peg, etc. Scottie came to ' irginia during his early teens in quest of education, and ca ' -t his lot with Randolph- Macon Academy, where lie continued to exercise a leadership which existed there in spirit long after his departure. From the beginning, Scottie has been blessed with a keenness of intellect and a soundness of judgment which enabled him to do justice to circumstance. These two possessions were instruments in his choice of a Means to his Educational End ; so he entered Washington and Lee in the Fall of 1918. Scottie has been very prominent in all phases of College activitv, as is shown by the alphabet con- tiguous with his name. He was chosen by his class- mates as Vice-President of the Junior Law Class of 1919, and is at present serving as Supreme Judge in the Senior Class. Kendrick leaves the Cniversitv in Jime; a finished lawyer, a devoted husband, and a popular alumnus with enviable success as his determined goal. Page Ninety-lv:o CHESTER STRICKLER SHADE, K2 J A I WF CC •13 Martinsburg, West Virginia. Almost as tlie tale of Sleepy-Hollow goes the story of Martinsburg, until that most momentous of all days. May 18, 1897, at which time one was born into this world who was destined to put said city on the map. We who have known C ' het at old W. and L. U. feel assured of his future and the fame of West Vir- ginia, Martinsburg more especially. Quiet and un- assuming Stride is one of the most popular men in his class. The greatest and altogether most glar- ing fault of this admirable young man is his close friendship with the Cireat God Morpheus. He is an all-round college man — an exponent of the Terpsichorean pleasures, sometimes indulges in a little game of bil-yards , possesses a pronounced ability to solve the problems of Law, and is an executive of no mean ability, having demonstrated the latter by handling the duties pertaining to the position of Executive Committeeman of his class for two years. Chester says that he is not going to practice law, but we hope that he will and are sure that he would be an able exponent of the noble profession. CHARLES HIGBV SMITH, S C Waverly, Ohio. The year 1895 was a memorable one in Waverly, Ohio; in fact, everyone in Ohio knew about it. ' ' Hig was born in Waverly in 1895. For some reason Ohio State University knew him as a Fresh- man in 1913-14 and, thereafter, as a graduate stu- dent for two years. When Kaiser Bill slapped your Uncle Sam on the wrist in 1917, Hig enlisted, did squads east and west for a while, went to France with the 166th Infantry, 42nd Division, fought around Paris for eighteen months, itianaged to secure standing room back, and was discharged in May, 1919. He won ' t tell us what he did during the Summer of 1919, but knowing Waverly as we do, we suppose he sat around the village grocery and told the ancients how he had run the Rainbow Division. Quiet and reserved, that ' s Hig all over. The daughter of the village banker having left Ohio State during the war, he saw no reason why he shouldn ' t come to W. L. in September, 1919. In fact, he did that very thing. Suppose he wanted to see the F. F. V. ' s and cotton fields of Old Virgin-yuh. Now that he has seen ' em, we predict a very bril- liant career for Hig . Page Ninety-three • WALTER EVANS SMITH, BOn A5P Chattanooga, Tennessee. Smity enlightened the world with his appear- ance in 189S and after finishing Chattanooga High School caine to : L. to culminate his education. After two years in the Academic Department he realized that his talents were along l egal lines and made up his mind to pursue the study of law. Here his education was interrupted b - his enlistment in the Marines; Walter was later transferred to the Marine Aviation and was in training at Boston Tech. He returned to his study of law in February, 1919, and is taking a degree away with him this vear. Stnith has always taken an active part on the campus. He played on the Freshman football team, and was on the track squad in the same year. In ' 18 he showed his ability as a public speaker by making a place on the V. L. Debating Team as an alternate. Walter was assistant leader of the Fancy Dress Ball in ' 20. When the music and the girls are in the gvmnasium he is always on hand. Smity has made many friends while in college and he will certainly be missed when the campus livens up next Fall. EARNEST NELSON TOWNES, $K5 S C Petersburg, Virginia. Petersburg, ever of historical interest, has now an added significance in the eyes of the world in gen- eral and of this campus in particular. The world knows or soon will know that thence came the Blackstone of the twentieth century; his friends know that from that fair city, the Judge migrated to Lexington in the fall of 1919, and that in that town there is much rejoicing. Although the Judge has not been long with us, he has made many friends in record time; for the outstanding qualities of this young man are two, an inborn geniality and a continuing desire to bull — which last augurs well for his success in his pro- fession. But do not suppose that airy persiflage con- stitutes the Judge ' s only stock in trade. He can upon occasion give voice to some of the soundest, yet most intricate, legal logic heard in Tucker Hall. Perhaps this sketch might have been boiled down to four or five words if the writer had thought of it in time; for the most accurate decsription of the Judge may be given thus; He is a good fellow . He is a member of Square and Compass. Page Stnety-jou FRED DUPRE TOWNSEND, Bennetsville, South Carolina. Freddy, a native of the Palmetto State, entered the University of South Carolina in 1915, and after com- pleting two years ' work there proved his intelli- gence by becoming a candidate for knowledge at Washington and Lee I ' niversitv in 1917. After one year in the Academic school, he decided that the legal profession needed him and therefore made his debut in the Law department in January. 1919. Being a diligent worker, Freddy may be found in the Law library from the break of day until the lights go out, if it wasn ' t for Sanctimonious Joe ' s scruples against breaking the Sabbath you would probably find him there Sunday. But despite his diligence, he has foimd time to make a record for himself in the pool-room, and is regarded bv all who know him as an all-round regular fellow . Freddy has been a leading member of the Graham Washington and Lee. Among the offices which he has held there are: ' ice-Presiclent, Secretary and Treasurer, and (inally their otficlal representative on the University Debating Council. Archie c;uthrie warren, jr., Wilmington, North Carolina. Archie, better known as the Lilac King , came to us in 1913 from the Wilmington High School and matriculated in the Academic department. This was during the good old days . After absorbing much of the atmosphere of those days, his fond parents sent him to Trinity College, in an effort to combat the effects of that atmosphere. After a year spent there, during which the whole religious atmosphere of the campus failed to permeate his being, he ma- triculated at W. L. in 1919, and began the pursuit of an elusive LL.B. When the war broke out he joined the V. S. army in which he held the rank of Ensign, and sailed the seas in search of submarines, hoping always never to see one, and incidentally never seeing one. He says that while in the Navy, he was transferred thir- teen times and was on everything from a row-boat to a transport. After his discharge from the Navy, he returned to W. L. in 1919, renewed the pursuit of the same LL.B. At last he has captured the elusive and much-desired sheepskin. He is now as he says, educated. Archie is a good worker, and we predict for him success in his chosen prof ession. He intends to prac- tice where they will let him aiui where they will give the most money for the least work. Page inety-five JAMES BOULDEN WATERS, 2N A t OAK KB WF CC l.V ' S Frederick, Md. It was a great Freshman Class that came to this Castilian fountain in 1915. The Freshest of the Freshies was none other than their President, Lul e Waters of Frederick, Md., whom the Sophs honored at all meetings of the then. Grand Old ' igilance Committee. James Boulden soon became well known in Lexington by publishing his name at each stroke of the paddle. These Sophomores did a good job. Not only was he President of the Freshman Class hut he was President of his Intermediate Law Class. He successfully managed our Football team in 1917, and when the students were looking for a capable man to lead them, they selected Luke to be Presi- dent of our Student Body. The regret of Luke ' s life is that he didn ' t take Greek so he could read the string of letters that appears after his name. He is a Sigma Nu; the bright light of Phi Delta Phi; the shining star of Ivappa Beta Phi ; and it was he who completed the Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa. Nor is he only known in these mysterious realms of Greek. He is a lover of the bright lights and admits that he is a member of every social club in school. He is a follower of the ' hite Friars , a terpsichorean of the Cotillion Club , the luckiest of the Thirteen and a member of Sigma . All this shows that the once timid daisy from Maryland is now a blushing rosebud of Society. ROBERT GIBBON ' S YANCEY, •I ' KS i A I CC WF Harrisonburg, Virginia. Our Robert, the pride of Rockingham County, was born in the cit ' of Harrisonburg, in 1896. He began his shining career as a student in that city, where he recei ' ed his preparatory education. Upon the opening of hostilities with CJermany, Robert, being Irish, and never missing a public fight, enlisted in the spring of 1917. He was one of those unfortu- nates then, but perhaps less unfortunate now, who fought the war in America. But he fought in his share of the battles here. He participated at Armis- ton, Ala., at the school of military aeronautics at Austin, Texas, at Souther Field, Americus, Ga., and was honorably discharged at Camp Pike, after the armistice. In January, 1919, feeling the call of his profession, he entered the Law School from which he will grad- uate in June iti a term considerably less than the usual. Bob has upheld the name Yancev. familiar at Washington and Lee for years. Here are some of his activities during the past two years: Varsity Baseball Squad, 1918- ' 19, 1919- ' 20; Monogram Club; Vice-President of Junior Law Class, 19IS- ' I9; Executive Committeeman, 1919- ' 20.

Parsons Historian Piii f Smety-nine dlasH lUiatarij I N the accepted interpretation of the word history, this brief sketch shall not be history of the Junior Law Class, because strictly speaking it cannot be called a history in any true sense of the word. We have been together as a class for too short a time to be in thinking about or to start writing our his- torv . That thankless job will be left to the court reporters, and if anyone in the future is curious about the history of this class or its different mem- bers, let him go to the law libraries and take down the reports of proceeding of the different courts of this country and read the opinions and dicta handed down in the various cases. This last sentence may be construed in two different wa} s. It is hoped that everyone will place the proper construction on it and will not interpret it to mean that tVere is any likelihood of any member of the class being the prisoner at the bar. Notwithstanding the fact that the writer hesitates to call this a history of our class, still this sketch would be very incomplete if a few of the important things that have actually happened since this class came into being were omitted The first thing of importance that might be mentioned is the fact that this is the largest law class that ever entered this school. Another point worthy of notice is that this is the last class that will be able to receive their degrees in two years. One of the requisites for secur- ing a degree after this year being, that the applicant must have had three years ' resi- dence either here or at some other recognizd law school. It is also necessary before closing to say a few words about our splendid faculty for whom we should all feel grateful. In addition to the two old members of the faculty. Dean J. R. Long and Mr. W. H. Moreland, there are this year two new members, Messrs. C. E. Williams and Lewis Tyree. To the energy, perseverance and skill we shall owe in a large measure our success in the practice of law. In closing the writer wishes to express his hope that the and time may be far dis- tant when the history of this class will be res judicata and stare tit cists. Hist; rian.

They immediately set out upon their quest, and were clothed with that famous appelation of the French department, Fish. They soon became attributes of the regime, Cream of the South, a term so often bestowed by our illustrious, omnipotent, and loquacious monarch. El Presidente. Though their sanctuary of peace was invaded incessantly b hoards of the North, called Sophomores, their course of earnest endeavor and search for truth remained un- changed. The dash of the second lap was retarded b the world struggle for democracy — a war which is now almost forgotten except by those for which the war will never end and others who cherish friends never again to be seen in terrestial strife. Although the ranks of this formidable phalanyx was somewhat depleted by shrapnel, gas and shell shock with Fritz across the slough, it finds itself once more beneath the gaze of that illustrious dignity that adorns the cupola of our institution. With the juggling of schedules and the burning of copious amounts of midnight oil it once again drinks of the Pierian spring. ■ Behold! oh stern gazer, the ragged files of the nucleus which recei ed its birth in 1916. Old faces, lingering smiles, and cherished expressions of the old bunch are no more. In place the old veterans rub shoulders with that influx from every class, which by some unknown gamble of chance are placed side by side for receiving the long sought for dog-hide. Nevertheless, the desired end is nigh and finds us a trifle weary, but eager to explore the vast field of human life which now opens the door of life before us.

Page One Hundred Four GEORGE HARRY BARER, AXP OAK A:sP SSiC Huntington, West Virginia. Behold our Editor in Chief. His work speaks for him and is best evidence of his ability. Harry comes from somewhere in West Virginia, and like all others from that peculiar section, he never tires of telling of its superiority. After getting everything in sight at Greenbrier Presbvterial Military Insti- tute, he entered Washington and Lee in 1917. After looking the place over, he decided that he had just as well take an A.B. in three years, and he is doing it with a preponderance of the coveted A ' s , But Babe is by no means a grind. He has a habit of varying his activities and of engaging suc- cessfully in each of them. Suicide , handball, and tennis are pastimes with him. Math, l e thrives on and imports his knowledge of it to the Freshmen with great fluency. Harry ' s ability to grasp the situation and probe unerringly to the heart of things coupled with his steady purpose and his capacity for work ensure his success in whatever field he may enter, and it is success that he merits. Here is what he has done: Manager of Freshman Football Team, ' 17; Ring-tum Phi Staff, ' 18- ' 19; Contributing Editor of Ring-tum Phi, ' 19- ' 20; Calyx Staff, ' 17- ' 18- ' 19; Instructor in Mathematics, ' 19- ' 20; Assistant in Economics, ' 18- ' 19- ' 20; Editor-in-Chief of the Calyx, ' 20; Tennis Team, ' 18- ' 19; President Tennis Club, ' 18- ' 19; Debating Council, ' 19- ' 20. ■ . EDWARD G. BAILEY, Kenbridge, Virginia. Among the Freshmen of 1915 there appeared a big, husky ministerial student by the name of Ed. Bailey. Washington and Lee congratulated herself on having splendid prospects for another good foot- ball man, but Ed. failed to show up for practice on the grounds that he thought his efforts in the begin- ning might be best spent in establishing his reputa- tion with the Faculty. He found time, however, to go out for track and made the team his Freshman vear. He also made the football team in 1917- ' 18. On account of the war he found it necessary to leave the University for aviation school and served for several months as Second Lieutenant and pilot in the Aviation Corps. He entered the University again January, 1919, and made his place as right guard on the 1919- ' 20 tJenerals. Big Bailey is famous for a healthy appetite, dancing, and extem- poraneous football speeches In which he invariably savs It seems to me the whole student bodv is behind this movement . Pa c One Hundred Five FRED MIDDLETOX BAILEY, ATS) WF 2 Huntington, West Virginia Penny as he is better known, is our big leaguer rnd is no relation of Big Ed though association with the latter and Eddie Davis has certainly 1 rnught him out in many. ways that it wouldn ' t do t ' mention here. When Penny first landed Bill Raftery thought he had a sure thing in the baseket- hall and baseball line, and he did for the time being. On the court he was a wizard and the dia- mond showed him a hitting marvel. But George Stallings cut short his career as a college athlete when the next spring he called him up to have a look in on the big .show with the Boston Braves. From Boston he went to Montreal, and from there he landed with the Columbus club of the American As- r elation last season. While there a broken ankle kept him from going back to the big show but no doubt next year will see him hack in the majors, (n account of baseball, Penny has had to take his college education in installments, and though land- ing here in 1914 he has been wise enough to keep on and land his degree thiv year. .Monogram Club. HENRY SOUTHWORTH BAKER, HKA OAK Charles Town, est Virginia. Hailing from the renowned old state mentioned pbo, e, Henry directed his first efforts toward a higher education to Hampden Sidney College, but a year there was enough to convince him that he light to get out of the sticks and get an education in a regtilar college. The result was that the next fall found him in Newcomb Hall arranging for the entering of Washington and Lee. What he did hee that year and the part of the next that he was able to be here may be judged by the fact that he was invited to coinplete the Circle after he had been here only a little over a year. When Dr. Pollard presented the call for a unit frcin Washington and Lee in now famous Ambu- lance Corps , Henry was among the first to volun- teer to make up the necessary quota. In the army he was a favorite, and the boys say that many a drearv day was gladdened by his smile. When he larne back, he found that he needed but six points to complete his requirements for the A.B., and he nabbed on to those at summer school last suininer. His friends are all looking forward to that day nest June when Henry shall dismiss his classes at .Augusta .Military Academy giving the little boys a lii ' lidav while he returns to join his comrades and get the dip . He is a member of the Graham Lee Literary Societv and the . ' lhert Sidney Boat Club. Paijc One Hundred Six 7 JOHN CROMWELL BLOCKER, JR., St. Petersburg, Florida.

Old Ironsides was a member of the 82nd Divi- sion in some capacity or other. The only difference between John and his namesake as military leaders, is that Oliver was a brewer and John ain ' t. But, nevertheless, he tells us he was a hero, having fought in the Battles of Paris, Nice and Bouze. A hard student (this is hard to grasp), he attended the University of Montpelier to get out of guard duty. The only reason he ' s back at W.

Babe came to us in September, 1916, after hav- ing received his preparatory training from the Cwensboro High School. He was a very ambitious Freshman, and decided that life was too short to spend frur years in getting a B.- . Although his plans vere slightlv interrupted by his entering the service of his country, he succeeded in attaining his aim. His success is due to his consistent digging and his hammering determination. He has taken part in all college acti ' ities, and has pla ' ed a prom- inent part in each of them. Babe expects to become a banker, and we all predict a very brilliant future for liim.

Piii r One Hundred Sf-vrn HARRY POWER BURNS, :£X DAN ly KB I Commerce, Georgia. It tlicre are any more men in Washington and Lee more widely and more agreeably known, we miss an orticial guess. Harry entered here in 1916, and has stayed pretty consistently except for an ab- sence in the Navy during 1918. His popularity is due to many qualities, his unas- suming manners, read ' smile, his quick wit, all con- tributing. He is a man of many and varied activi- ties as his list below shows. On the dance floor, he is incomparable — his easy manners and terpsichorean accomplishments have made him one of the shining lights of Washington and Lee society. In conclusion, be it said that Harry numbers as his friends all those who know him — which is the greatest compliment a man may receive. To a man who can make friends so easily and hold them as enduringly, we predict a happy life. Some of the things he has done at Washington and Lee are: Band, 1916- ' 17; Orchestra, 1916- ' 17; Assistant Busi- ness Manager of the Calvx, 1917- ' 18; Historian Senior Class, 1919- ' 20; President of Pan Ribbon Societv, 1919- ' 30; Leader of Pan and White Friar c;erm ' an, ' :;0. h HOMER STAFFORD BRYANT, 2X CC 13 W.F. New York, New York. If the gentleman is known by his clothes and bearing, then in Buck we have the gentleman, par-excellence. Quiet, reserved, and dignified, Buck puts up a prepossessing appearance in any company — including that of the other sex, in which company he is sometimes found, we are told. But W. Sc L. turns out more than Lord Chester- rtelds, and Buck is an athlete as well as a social leader. Besides working in the other major sports, he made an enviable record as a basketball star, leading the team to many a victory this past year. Well known on the campus, popular with all, Buck ' s absence will be keenly felt next year. He will devote his many capabilities to business.

Pat e One Hundred Eight . RANDOLPH McCJUlRE CABELL, K2 II AN CC Waynesboro, V ' irjiinia. ' Ranny is a true Virginian in dignity of man- ner, and in name, hailing from tlie far-famed ' al- lev of Virginia. He completed Fisfiburne Military Academ -, and in September, 1916, entered Wash- ington and Lee. He is a scientist by nature, having taken everything offered Sn the Department of Chemistry. This field being exhausted, he hopped Dr. Stevens ' Physics as a crip . Early in the strug- gle to make the World safe for Democracy he laid aside his test tubes to take up the gun, spend- ing the greater part of his time in France with the Field Laboratory Service on the Toul front. It is superfluous to eulogize a man ' s man, yet we must be prudent for the sake of future generations. ' Ran- nv , a non-seeker of glory, has achieved it, his dis- tinction lying in his unique success; for he has lived clean, made a multitude of friends, and is always ready to serve one. These qualities of genuine success, so forcefully demonstrated in school, assure for him a brilliant future. LEWIS PRESTON COLLINS, 5AE W. F. CC 13 2 OAK Marian Virginia. Famed as an orator, stutlent, athlete, billiard player, and vampire, Pat is an ever-shining light on the campus of Washington and Lee. He was born in Lynchburg, Virginia, on December 2S, 1S96, prepared for his college career at the Marian High School and entered Washington and Lee in the fall of 1914. His ' ersatilit soon won for him a large place in the hearts of all of his fellow-students. But after a short period of three years on the campus he answered the call of his country and for eighteen months served as Sergeant in the Wash- ington and Lee Ambulance Unit in France. Imme- diatel ' tipon receiving his discharge he came back to Lexington to complete his college course. After receiving his degree in June Pat contemplates taking a course in law after which he will return to France where he will own a vineyard. For this brilliant young man we predict a glorious future. Here are some of his honors: Southwest Virginia Club, Lynchburg Club, Square and Compass, Presi- dent of Junior Class, President of White Friars, Varsity Football, 1917; Varsity Football, 1919; Cap- tain of lunior Football. Paai-On, ' ffuriJrrJ Mne HOWARD MORELUCK ELDER, Jonesboro, Arkansas. Howard is one of those men whom you like bet- ter each day you know him. Dependable in every respect, a faithful and successful student, a true and genial friend, his departure this finals will be a loss to his many friends that will be keenly felt. Howard is one of those Jonesboro, Arkansas, bovs who have been coming to Washington and Lee for these many years. He soon made himself known on the campus and has achieved distinction in his studies, in literary work, in Y. NL C. A. work, and let it be added on the dance floor with the ladies; for Howard combines scholarship and society. Hcnvard has always been popular in the class, and tliis year he was made Secretary and Treasurer. We all wish him the happiest of futures and pre- dict uccess for him in after life. RA.MON DAVU) CiARCIX, JR., i-tE KB HAN Richmond, Virginia. February Sth, 1899, is the birthday and Richmond, N ' irginia, the place of our hero ' s birth. He refuses to divulge his past life further than mentioning the fact that for two years he blessed Richmond Col- lege with his presence, then realizing the mistake he entered W. L. in the fall of ' 17 and has made Lexington his winter headquarters e ' er since. Ramon is preparing for medicine and that he will be a success in his chosen field, we have no tlouht. During his sta ' here he has endeared him- ■-elf t ' l a host of fellow -students by his genial dis- position and his merry good nature. The girls also will feel the absence of this young Don Quixote who has caused many of their hearts to palpitate wliile in his presence. His absence will be felt in many of the college rctivities, in which he has been very active. As Junior Assistant Manager of Baseball, and as Man- ager of Track, Ramon has demonstrated his busi- iic-s ability and as Assistant Cheer Leader, he has ' h ' lwn his pep. He helped Finals in 1919, by serv- ing (in the Executive Committee of the Final Ball. Page One Hundred Ten ' CARL KNAPP CilLCHRIST, ' |)K ' k WF Lewisburg, West Virginia. Carl or Gilly , as he is more familiarly known, is one of the many products of West Virginia — and let it be said that he does credit to his state. He has done so many things in his life that it will hardly do to give a full account of them here. Of course they would serve only to augment his honors. CJilly after graduating from Greenbriar Pres- byterial School entered Washington and Lee in the fall of 1916 and now in 1920 is ready to receive his degree in spite of the time spent in the Army. At Washington and Lee he has taken an active part in all student affairs. Gill is a man who does not believe in all work or all play but just a happy medium, and when either is to be done you will find him on hand. Like a good many other students his work was interrupted by the War and so he gave up his studies for a while and joined the Arm . In the Army he served as Second Lieutenant of Infantr . But when peace was declared he returned to Lex- ington and started back to work. Being an ardent lover of nature and in order to deU ' e into the secrets of life and why things are he took up biology. Naturally he did well in this study, so well in fact that he was made an assistant in this department. As a summary it will do to say that Gilly is a steady, hard worker, a congenial companion, and a true friend. Of course he is a vonderful dancer and no dance is complete without him. JOHN J. GEORGE, Dillon, South Carolina. South Carolina, that famous state which is shaped like a five-cent cut of pie, and which has always been a state of uncertain equilibrium, whether as a result of pirates, revolutions, or earthquakes, the state, in short, that produced John C. Calhoun, has produced another citizen, John J. George, to whom we would call the world ' s attention. tJeorge came to W. L. in 1918 with the avowed purpose of taking his degree in three years. During his first two years, he carried uncommonly heavy courses with marked success, exhibiting a particularly ra- pacious appetite for History and Political Science, and enjoying the rare distinction of having stuck to Latin during both those busy years. In 1918- ' 19, he was not here during the first term, but the ig- noble death of the S. A. T. C. brought him back, and he continued his labors for the last two terms with unabated energ . He made up at summer school, last summer, the points that he still needed for his degree, and the faculty this year granted him the coveted sheep skin. Page One Hundred Eleven -A THOMAS GUY HAMILTON, i l E McDowell, Girginia. Ham , as he is known to his more intimate friends (and there are many), is one of the older Washington and Lee men who returned after the war to take his B. A. He entered school in the fall of 1914. When his country called, Tom was one of the first to answer, leaving with the now famous Washington and Lee Ambulance Unit. May 3ii, 1917. While in France he was transferred to the Tank Corps (March 7, 191S). On being dis- charged from this service in Ma ' , 1919, his thoughts at once turned towards his Alma Mater, and we were all glad to see him with us again in Septem- ber, 1919. It is a pleasure to meet Ham , for he is one of those rare hale fellows well met who has been successful in scholastic work. We trust and believe that Thomas Hamilton will be as success- ful in later life as he has been in the Great War and on the Washington and Lee campus. i JAMES PITTMAN HILL, 5N HAN CC 13 Eufalla, Alabama. In the fall of 1917, there bloomed upon the campus of W. L., one of the most timid Fresh- man that ever wore the little blue cap. Jimmie was a real product of the jungles of Alabama. His only possessions were a diploma from Gordon Mil- itarv Academy and his famous Slide Trombone. James is one of the most versatile men on the campus. Not content to be the Champion Slide Artist , our little Jimmie has the desire to beat Dean Owens out of first place on the dance floor. Should Jim decide to be a lawyer, he will win all of his cases due to his ability to argue. James would rather argue than eat, and he has never been known to miss a meal. His fatal mistake is that he invariably takes the losing side. The happiest time in Jiinmie ' s life was the night he journeyed to Beuna ista with the orchestra. Jim was right that evening and turned out real music. He made his reputation as the best on that trip. Aixev graduating this year, the Alabama Slide Artist intends to take law at Harvard. At last James, you realize what is be t in life. We wish ou all success. Patg e One llundrfd Twelve JOSEPH HOBSON, UK A Frankfort, Kentiickw At first thought, the year 1897 might mean little to some of us, but it is, in reality, a date of great historical importance; for in February of that mo- mentous year, Joe Hobson was born. Perhaps on account of the great naval conflicts that took place shortly after his birth, Joe has always had a strong liking for the Navy. In 1918, he expressed this liking and also his patriotism by enlisting in I ' ncle Sam ' s Navy where he served for over a year. But we are now about to forget his scholastic accomplishments. After re- ceiving his early training at Frankfort High School, he entered Wa shington and Lee in Septeinber, 1916. Since his appearance on the campus, he has e ' er shown himself to be a good student and as a result will get his degree after only three years of work. Joe is a quiet, friendly fellow, and we all wish for him success in whatever he ma - undertake in the future. GI ;EC)Rt;E JUNKIN IRWIN, Lexington, ' irginia. CJeorge Junkin Irwin was fiorn and reared in the home town of the I niversitw He entered Washing- ton and Lee in 1913, but after years found it neces- sary to break into his schooling and take a position in Princeton, W. Va. We have not been told that George inade a fortune in that position, but, at any rate, we were glad to see him able to return to our Student-bod - for the 1916- ' 17 session. In the spring of 1917 he was one of the first to volunteer as a private in the Washington and Lee Ambulance Tnit. and served with distinction during their two years of tlirilling, heroic, and dangerous service from one end oi tlie ' estern Front to the other. He re-entered Washington and Lee last fall and in addition to applying for a degree has taken up the duties of Instructor in French, proving that all of his thrilling experienced in France were not on the battle-field. He is a meinber of the Phi Ciamma Delta Frater- nitv; ran for the Iniversity in the Cross Coiuitry Team of 1916; and was a member of the Mandolin Club during the 1916- ' 17 session. He has been a consistent stiuient. ' e w!--!! him a ' much success in life a was his in college. Page One Hundred Thirlicn DAVID DEAN JOHNSON, i K nAX Bridgeport, West Virginia. West Virginia is a wild and woolly state, but frnni its wilderness has come to us one unschooled in rustic ways, upon whose features is always stamped an inevitable smile — that is Johnnie . Johnnie entered Washington and Lee in the fall of 1916. and has been a great asset to the campus for the last four years, having taken part in all of its activities. In the fall of 1918, he was sent to the O. T. S. at Camp Lee, where he received his commission. He attended the summer school of the University of West Virginia last summer, and made uD the work that he missed while in the Army, thus enabling himself to graduate with the class in which he entered. Johnnie was on the Baseball Squads of ' 17, ' 19, and ' 20 ; Assistant Business Manager of the South- ern Collegian , 1917- ' 18; and First Sergeant in the S. A. T. C. here before he went to training camp. WILLIAM ERSKINE JOHNSTON, . XP WF Lexington, Virginia. Johnnie , as he is known to his friends, entered Washington and Lee in the fall of 1916. Two years he spent in Academic work, and then he decided to make a change — from study to drill. After receiv- ing a Lieutenancv, he was stationed at Dartmouth with the S. A. T. C. there. But 1919 found him back on the old campus and hitting hard for the coveted sheepskin. Bill has not spent all of his time, however, in listening to Ciranny ' s lecture, for he believes in diversifying life. He has twice won his letter with the Harry Lee ' s on North River, and Basketball also has yielded him the coveted .Monogram. Moreover Bill Johnston can tell you anvtiiing about the University — and before it hap- pened. If it ' s information you want, ask him. Optimistic by nature, generous of heart, loyal to his work, these are some of the (pialities that make Johnnie so well liked by his college mates, and that will bring him success in whatever he chooses to do. Pa e One Hum red Fourteen HOWARD DOUGLAS JONES, ATfi KB Brunswick, Maryland. Thanks to Maryland for men like Doug , — the man with the smile that won ' t come off. Howard Douglas Jones entered Washington and Lee in the fall of 1916, and for four years he has blessed us with his presence. During these four years he has achieved for himself an enviable posi- tion in every branch of college life. As Cheer Leader he became an unrivalled leader on both the athletic field and the campus. Tennis is his special hobby and but few have seriously contended on the courts his right to claim the tennis cham- pionship. Everybody likes him and his facility in making friends has scarcely been excelled at W. L. He has maintained a consistent advance in all that was worthy and be it said before all else that his versa- tile accomplishments and popularity have not a whit changed his nature. He is the same Doug. The following attest his achievements on the campus: Cheer Leader, 191S- ' 19: Assistant Business Manager Ring-turn Phi, 1918- ' 19; Member Athletic Council, 19I8- ' 19; Manager Tennis, 1918- ' 19- ' 20 ; Junior Manager Baseball, 1919; Manager Baseball, 1919- ' ::0; V. M. C. A. Council, 1919- ' 20; Secretary Glee Club, 1919- ' 20; Vice-president of Student Bodv, 1919- ' 20. JOHN WORTH KERN, $rA ASP 2Y OAK Indianapolis, Indiana. The son of an Indiana Senator who inherited political ideas and ambitions entered Washington and Lee in September, 1917. While at school he has been prominent in college activities, has unconsciously won for himself the friendship of the entire Student Body by his friend- liness, democracy and character; and has attained recognition in the minds of the facult by his sco- lastic ability. Although John is a three-year student and as- sumed his college duties a year later than the class of ' 20 it chose him as valedictorian because of his scholastic attainment and oratorical ability. This latter quality also gained for him a place on the Intercollegiate Debating Team his Freshman vear.

When he first joined us from the wilds rf Louisiana, Buddy was new to the civilized ways of the world, but being one of these wise folks (unfortunately few) who see a great deal and sa little, he acquired gradualh- a viewpoint of his own. He is one of the men whose footsteps are not noised abroad but to whom we instinctively turn when calmness, decision, and service are need- ed. He has justified this by a good record of campus service in varied activities during which he has gained the respect of all who came in contact with him. He plans to take law as his profession, and as he is a thorough student, we expect the same success in the future that he has had among us.

Page Our Hundred Sixlrrr, SIDNEY SIMS McKINNEY, Ki: S C Cadiz, Kentucky. Mac early found his educational activities cramped in his native hamlet of Cadiz, and so journeying to Lexington, Ky., took up his work at the University of Kentucky. After a year there he felt the call of the great west, and we next hear from him at the University of New Mexico. He spent a year there, and failing to tind the Pierian Spring to his taste, and animated again by the wanderlust, he turned his steps eastward. Accortl- inglv, one bright morning in September, 1916, the panting C. C). deposited him at the local term- inus, and he realized that at last he had found the college of his ideals. It woidd seem that his wan- derings were over, but the Kaiser und Gott ' had other arrangements, and in the fall of 1917 he found liimself a graduate of the Ft. M er O. T. C, and awaiting overseas orders. He served with the Yankee Division in France for over a year, and besides taking part in the numerous engagements of the 26th in the Chateau Thierry, San Mihiel, and Verdun drives, made fearless sallies into the Paris, Nice and Monte Carlo sectors. Returning from the A. E. F., once again he heard the col- lege bells calling , and returnetl to Washington ami Lee to seek his degree. WILLIAM DAVIDSON MURRISON, . XI ' Lexington, Virginia. Bill first saw the light of Rockbridge about twen- t ' -one years ago, and, according to the register, his address is Lexington. He came to us in the fall of 1916 from the Palmer High School, and has been vith his class continualK- since then. Here is one who is heart and soid for greater W. L. We have been in class with him and know him to be a student, and, by the way, Sunshine is the only one who has ever laughed in Granny ' s face and got away with it. We have seen him work out on the Harry Lee boat crews; we have seen him in the CSraham-Washington Literary Society; we hav e seen hiin on the track; and we have seen him in push ball scraps, where it is all tight and little fun. Bill receives his B.A. in June, having at the same time done considerable work in law during his Senior year. It is his intention to pursue the legal profession, and we predict a brilliant career if he goes at that as he does at everything else, in his whole-soided, full-hearted lo al and perse ' ering spirit. After all, may not some good come out of Rockbridge? Graham-Washington Llterar - Societv ; Track Team, 1917, 1919- ' Jli; Harrv Lee Crew 1919- ' JU; ' ice-president Jrenior (.Mass, 1919- ' J(). Vaaf One Hundred Seventeen RUSSELL GOODWIN NESBITT, K2 VF Wheeling, West Virginia. Born far back in the Mountain State, close by the dreamy Ohio , and of a precocious nature, Nes early exhausted the educational opportunities of his local high school, and so, adopting his city ' s motto, Wheeling means business , he started in search of more extended erudition. At W. L. he has stuck close to his motto, and, in spite of inter- national, social, and amorous disturbances, has pushed straight on to his goal. He left us for a short time in 1918 to hold a commission in the Field Artillery at Catnp Taylor. Today, one has but to enter his room and gaze at the many blue prints to be convinced that, during his absence, he was on very close terms with the three-inch piece. Al- ways true to his motto, whether jazzing a 75 across the range at Camp Taylor, figuring the probable error on a billiard ball, or pursuing his college work on the Doremus floor, we predict for him that success which comes from perseverance and fidelitv to one ' s ideals. After studying law at Harvard, he will return to his native city to enter the profession. LEVIN WATSON NOCK, Wachapreague, Virginia. Virginia is the garden spot of the world, and the Eastern Sho ' is the garden spot of ' irginia. -Ml good citizens of the world, therefore, will be glad to view this product of Wachapreague, Acco- mack County, Eastern Shore of Virginia. Since the fall of 1915, Levin has each year torn himself away from his beloved salt breezes to spend the winter In the shadow of the mountains, here at Washing- ton and Lee. He has blown into wrestling, run- ning, rowing, basketball, and class athletics like an ocean gale, and has made his mark in all of them. As for such ticekts as French II and Geolog)- II, he has bowled them aside whenever they stood in his way. He has already done some dabbling over there in the Law School, and next year will doubtless see him back in Lexington, occupied exclusively with those Long tickets, and running as usual on the cross country team. Some of his outside activities have been as follows: Cross Country Team, 1917; Champion Light- weight Wrestler, 1917; Albert Sidney Second Crew, 1919; Washington Literary Society; Various Class Teams and Basketball Squad, 1917- ' 18- ' 19. Page One Hundred Eii hteen DANIEL THOMAS ORDEMAN, II KX (Hopkins) Frederick, Maryland. A new man not so well known as some, but to know him is to like him. Ignoring the advice of his three brothers who already had been subjected to the traditions and spirit of W. L., Doc de- cided that Johns Hopkins University was the proper place for him, so he entered that Institution in 1915 to pursue a course in Engineering. After remain- ing there two years, he decided that he would rather follow the profession of teaching. He there- upon accepted the position as Principal of the High School at Emmitsburg, Maryland. One year ' s ex- perience was sufficient to prove to him that this should he his life work. September, 1918, brought to W. L. Doc IV , being the fourth of his fam- ily to realize that the Cream of the South gathers in Lexington. Having withstood the terrors of the S. A. T. C, Doc returned after the Holidays to stud - the methods of the different teachers and their relations to the students, working for an A.B. as an incidental. WILLIAM FRANKLIN PARKER, 2AK ASP .Asherton, Texas. When we think of Texas, we think of a great state, great in size and great in the calibre of the men it produces. We have in the person of Bill Parker , the subject of this sketch, a man of whom such a state ma - well be proud. After a careful prepa ration at the Asherton High School, he entered ashington and Lee in 1916 as a candidate for a B.A. degree. A good student, Bill has likewise taken an active part in literary society work and has distin- guished himself especially in debating and oratory. He has served the Graham-Washington Society faithtfully in various ways. He was winner in the Society Orator ' s medal in 1919, and his Senior year he has represented it on the University Debating Council. Bill ' has many friends on the campus and we all wish him continued success in whatever he may undertake.

Emmett came to the stately walks of Washington and Lee in September, 1917, and ever since he has been establishing his record as an A student and an all-round good fellow. With true fidelity to the place of his first choice, he has kept his domicile at the East Dormitor , and has used his influence from vear to year for introducing the newcomers to the proper traditions of Washington and Lee. Not content with having romped away with the necessary sixty-three points in a short three years, Emmett has decided that he has not yet displayed his ability in full and that next year anyone who wishes to lead the Junior Class in the School of Law will have some first-class competition. Some of the things in which he has taken part are as follows: Albert Sidney Boat Club; Y. M. C. .A. Promotion Force, 1919- ' 20; Member of Wash- ington Literary Society and later of the Graham Washington Literary Society; Troubadours (Dra- matic Section). Page One Hundred Tiuenly HERBERT SAVAGE POWELL; Wachapreague, Virginia. It requires long legs to step over the sand hills around Wachapreague, on the Eastern Shore of Vir- ginia, and perhaps that is why the sons of Wacha- preague all show such speed. At any rate, when Herb Powell came to Washington and Lee in the fall of 1915, it did not take him long to show Coach Fletcher that he was a speed demon de luxe . He was largely responsible for the victories of the Washington and Lee cross country team in 1916 and 1917, being the first W. and L. man to finish in 1916 and the second man of the whole field to finish in 1917. He was captain of the team in the latter year. In 191 S- ' 19 Herb was not here, but he came back with the New Year of 1920 to carry off the old degree. So great is the swiftness of this long- legged Virginian, that we have forgotten to dwell upon his less conspicuous virtues; but let it be known that he is built for comfort as well as for speed. In his classes he has alwa s been successful, though not what one would call a ravening sharp. Soci- ally, he has likewise been successful, as his many friends attest. In fact, he has attained, in the social line, something that few of us can yet boast. Back there on the Eastern Shore t) well, we hate to lose him; but we know that somebody else needs him worse than we do. FRANCIS THEODORE RICE, Bamberg, South Carolina. Francis is another prominent member of the South Carolina delegation. He entered Washington and Lee in 1916, and by the Christmas examinations had established for himself the reputation of a shark of the first calibre. In January, 1918, his wayward fancy led him to the University of South Carolina, and then going from bad to worse he entered the T. ' niversit ' of ' irginia the next September, and as Tncle Sam was sort of in charge there he wa - given a chance to displav his genius as a militar leader in the S. A. T. C. ' Realizing the error of his way, Francis returned to the love of his first choice just as soon as Uncle Sam would let him, and nothing lias ever been able to induce him to leave her again. He has proved himself a linguist of great ability in German. He shows his greatest ability in Biology, having just recently discovered that the phycomycetes are close- ly related to the siphonales and are derived from the cyanophycecae. Although an exceptionally hard worker and a good student, Francis always finds time to be soci- able and an all-round good fellow. Page One Hundred T=iien1y-one SHIRELY JAMES ROBBINS, OK 2T Benton Pennsylvania. Shirely hails from Pennsylvania and has all the solid qualities that should he attributed to a son of the Keystone State. Quiet and unassuming, his time has been mainly occupied by his books as he is get- ting a degree in two years with no mark under B — Saturn verbis. He entered W. L., but at the end of his Freshman year was absent for two years in the - . E. F., serving as a First Lieutenant in the 30th Division. He is not sure of his life work, but we predict the same success, in whatever he may undertake, that he has already attained here. J()HN ALVIN ROLLER, Bristol, Tenn. John is one of the few remaining members of the illustrious class that entered Washington and Lee in September, 1916. He showed his school and class spirit by immediately signing up for the football squad, and when the Freshman team was organized, John was admittedly the best end on the squad. During his four years on our campus, John has proved himself a true friend and a loyal student. Never making a fuss or pushing himself forward he has gone steadily on doing his duties and taking his honors as they came. And, ladies, look out when we turn him loose into wider fields of activities among the gentler sex. Those who have come here to the famous dances have been properly warned, and we take this chance to say a word to you. He knows the ladies as well as ' ()ld Harry ' knows Geology. Page One Hundred Tiventy-tiuo HOLMES RULSTON, JR., Pulaski, Virginia. Holmes ' old Scotch-Irish ancestors when the were climbing the blue Virginia hills against em- battled foes never dreamed that they would have a shark for a grandson. But they have one all right ' and the most inhuman courses in the curriculum, Greek U and Math. Ill not excepted, have sruren- dered before this Pulaski prodig)-. Holmes, like Woodrow Winson, is a preacher ' s son and lived the first years of his life near Staun- ton, a town which is widelv known for its schools anil for its lunatic asylum. Between these attrac- tive alternatives. Holmes hesitated for a while, but fortunately he finally decided in favor of the for- mer, and in 1916 came to Washington and Lee, where his career has been one of energetic industry, steady advancement, and well-deserved succss. In addition to his intellectual prowess, he has branched out with success into several outside lines of college ridivily. Some of his outside honors are; Secretary of the (jiaham-Washington Literarv Society, 1918- ' 19; Ring-tum Phi Staff, I9I8- ' 19- ' 20 ; Calvx Staff, ]9I9 and University Editor of Calyx, 1919- ' 20; Y.

Yes, Bob also came tripping in from old Ten- nessee in 1916. From his Freshman year, Bob has hated himself put in the limelight. He has pre- ferred to render service on the campus without the customary signs of ostentation. On the surface, it would seem that the successes of his college experi- ence are impotent compared with some of the class, but Bob is altruistic enough to thwart the envy that might thus arise; for his success is made of sterner stuff — it is the manifestation of the triumph of personality. His regal personalit ' has won him many staunch friends and admirers. We all cling to that code of friendship that regards a friend as a brother, and this nature is exemplified in Bob . In scholastic attainments, he has been one always possessed of the satisfaction of having passed cred- itably all his courses. Notwithstanding that he was six months absent from the class, it is noteworthy that he is able to get his degree along with the rest of the class. Few are they that have done so. Success will surelv follow him. Paffe One Hundred Tuenty-lhree RANDOLPH TUCKER BRAGG SMITH, Camden, Arkansas. After spending a year at Hendrix College in Ar- kansas, Smitty decided it best to come out to a real school — so he picked Washington and Lee. He entered here in the fall of 1917 and has been here ever since, except for the absence in the Arm when he served in the capacity of a Second Lieutenant. Smitty has spent a good deal of his time in the Chemistry lab but he manages to get out long enough when the dances roll around. He has taken almost every language ticket in college, and you might say this was his hobby. He numbers his friends by all who know him — to such a man we predict a bright future. He will probably take medicine at Tulane next year. Secretarv of Graham Washington Literary Soci- et , 1919- ' 20; Chiel Marshal of Final Celebration, 1919.

Although unassum- ing and reserved, his many social graces, his faith- ful work in the classroom, his sterling qualities of character, and his fine personality have won for him the affection and the honor of the entire class. So when the time came for the Seniors to elect their President, Max was chosen unanimously. He entered in 1915, coming fresh from Sumter, South Carolina, and not long after he had lived this down, the late unpleasantness occurred and Mac enlisted. During the summer and fall of 1918 he served as a Second Lieutenant in the field artillery. Immediately after his discharge he returned to the cild campus and began the final attack on his degree, which he will capture this June. ■. M. C. A.

Henry is a many sided man. He is one of our most brilliant social butterflies, a faithful student, a master in the art of making friends, and looked up to as one of the statesmen of the campus, ■■ nd yet he comes from Monticello, Arkansas — where it is reported they still dance the minuet. Finding this condition of affairs intolerable, Henry started out on his heart-breaking career, going first to Hendrix College — giving it thereby its one claim to fame. Having annexed about two credits there before illness compelled him to withdraw, he de- cided when he recovered to enter Washington and Lee. Although rightfully belonging to the Fresh- man Class, he successfully posed as a Sophomore, being aided by his natural dignity of carriage and maturit) of intellect. Henry ' s career here at W. i: L. has been success- ful in the best sense of the word. His class and the student body have frequently recognized his merits as the list of honors below evidence. A better indi- cation of the fascination of his character, however, is seen ip the host of his friends. The class has no doubt that Henry is cut out for a great captain of industry.

Very few of the members of the class who made Lexington their Mecca in 1914 remain on the cam- pus. But Frank was among those present on that September morn, and he immediately set himself to the task of wresting a degree from the Faculty. He did not confine himself strictly to matters aca- demic, however, but found time to dabble with things managerial. Thus we find him in 191 5- ' 1 6 Assistant Manager of the Ring-tum Phi ; in 1916- ' 17 -Assistant Manager of Basketball; and in 1917- ' 18 he was elected Manager of Basketball. Then came the well-known late unpleasantness and in May, 1917, Frank left to enter the Service, winnmg his commission soon thereafter. He did not return to college until January, 1920, and since that time he has been engaged for the most part in pursuing his B.A. with more pep than ever. Cndeniably, Frank is one of the Old Guard , but he has readily fallen in with the new order of things because of his facility for making friends. That he really likes the place is evidenced by the fact that it is likelv that next fall will find him enrolled in Tucker Hall- Assistant Manager of Ring-tum Phi, 1915- ' 16; As- sistant Manager of Basketball, 1916- ' 17; Manager Elect of Basketball Team. 1917- ' 1S. faqe One Hundred T ' O enty-five ROBERT HENCE YOUNG, A0 HAN CC S C Wheelerton, Tennessee. Hence arrived in 1916, with the honest look that has al va s led him to be elected treasurer or man- ager of everything he joineii. Persevering and hard-worliing, that is him all over. One reason for his success is the fine running start that he got trom Morgan School, in fact, his friends believe that he was running when he left there. But he is still Young, and there is a chance for reform. He will probably be a railroad president some day; for he is going to Boston Tech next ' ear. His capacity for making friends can scarcely be rivalled by anyone in the class, and in the years to come he will surely derive much satisfaction and pleasure in knowing that his personality has won for him so many friends. Some of his honors are: Manager of Basketball, 1919- ' 20: Football Squad, 1916- ' 17- ' 18- ' 19 ; Member of the Athletic Council, 1919- ' 2fl; Secretary and Treasurer of Pan Ribbon Society, 1919- ' 20; Latin Scholarship, 1916- ' 17; James A. White Scholarship, 191S 19. JOSEPH MERRIMAN RCSSELL, . T9. Jackson, Tennessee. With two years of advance University training, Joe entered Washington and Lee in the fall of 1916 purposing to complete his education. While here he maintained a high standing both on the campus and in the class room. However, his immediate aim was thwarted by the CJreat War. In May, 1917, he, to- gether with many other loyal students, bade fare- well to the campus which they had learned to love and volunteered his services to his country. . ll of his friends were surprised and happy to see Joe return for the spring term of 1920, still having the determination to complete his educa- tion. That he is able to obtain his degree in three years speaks well for him and we can easily see much success for him in the future. Page One Hundrid 1 ixeniy-stx SCIENCE CLASS OFFICERS R, E.

Aside from our class scholarship standing, of later mention, we will not ha e it said that we are not as ersatile as college life itself. While heavily handicapped in regard to spare time in comparison with other students, the Scientific Class has representatives in all outside activities — the , crew, basketball, college publications, in short, all movements for the betterment of our cherished Alma Mater. In personnel we are a compound of the classes of 1919 and 1920, owing to the war ' s unsettling action, and representing them we combine the highest ideals of both for the program of our class. Now to class-room records, which are the brightest stars in our constellation of college exploits. Much can be said of the rigors of the class-room requirements of some of our academic professors, but we hold b virtue of unanimous assent and the right of conquest, the doubtful honor of being immune from any suspicion concerning the ease with which we have maintained our high s-cliolarly standing in the various department- ( f the School of Applied Science. In addition, not a few scholarships and assistantships have been bagged b ' this Big Four. Speaking in terms of im- munity from the future wear and tear of hard work, we ourselves acknowledge that such courses as Physics II, Chemistry II, and a few others, are calculated to have a hardening effect. To summarize, it may be said that whether in class, laboratory, or suicide game, our efforts have always been strong, and ma it be later said, not un- availing. While our spare time for outside de elopment ma ha e been limited, we have spent in the laboratory — the te.xt-book of Life — many an hour which we feel is not wasted. As slight as may have been our discoveries, it is our hope that we may bring into fullest hearing these fruits of our labors. So with this to justify the faith that is in us, we will strive to make the world a better place, both physically and morally, in which to live. Historian. Pnpf One llunitrrd Tv.rnly-rig il ROBERT EDISON BAUMGARDNER, 2N WF KB Frederick, Maryland. The fall of 1915 brought to W. L. a second Thomas Edison in the person of Runt Baiimgard- ner. Runt or the child of many nicknames, is the wizard of the V. L. Science Department, having spent liis three years previous to the war in solving the many difficult problems in Chemistry. Ru- dolph or Duck then left college in the early part of 1918 to answer the call of his coimtry and after spending over a year in France is now back with us to obtain his Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry. Although Rudolph is the smallest one in stature in his class, he is one of the broadest- minded and most energetic students, such qualities attained by the efforts of hard work and in full ac- cordance with Edison, that a man does not need o ■e five hours sleep. He coxswained the Harry Lee Boat Crew to victory in 191S; is now President of the Senior Science Class; and is a staunch sup- porter of the Chemical Society. Runt believes that there is no task too hard to do and that when you once start a thing, stick to it. Of a very re- ser ' ed nature to the world at large, Runt always has a happv smile and a glad hand for his friends, for those who know him are those who like him. With such assets Runt is certain to con(|uer the world and reach the highest pinnacle of success. We wish him luck. . LAURENCE ARNOLD CUSHMAN, Miami, Florida. Boimdiess energy and enthusiasm for all campus activities, and thorough scholarship in all scientific courses have characterized the residence of this genial representative of old Florida in our midst. Entering in 1917- ' 1S, after finishing at Miami High School, he immediately began to slaughter the re- quirements for a B.S. degree, and he has continued with such success that he is graduating a year before the rest of his class. His particular favorite seems to be Math., in which he is demonstrating his abil- ity as an Instructor this year. He has not let the fact that he is a bus ' man interfere with his pro- pensity for making friends. The V. NL C. A. se- lected him to take charge of and initiate its tutor- ing department this year, and needless to say, he has made a success of it. He plans to go to Harvard next year to take Medicine, preparatory to going as a Missionary to India.

Fuiji One Hundred Tix ' enty-nine RALPH DOTTS HUMMEL, Louisville, Kentucky. We predict tliat in the comparatively near future the City of Philadelphia will almost forget that it was once the home of Ben. Franklin and also the capital of the nation, in rejoicing over the fact that it was there in 1S98 that Ralph D. Hummel first saw the light of day. Since then Ralph D. has lived in several states including Missouri, Alabama, and Kentucky. Yet despite his wide experience, or rather ebcause of it, he selected old W. L. as the place to take his B.S. degree, and entered here as a Freshman in 1916. Ralph is what is commonly known as a shark in Chemistry and he spends most of his days in the laboratory. But though a hard-working student he finds time for recreation too and takes great interest in tennis and handball, in both of which he is pro- ficient. He is probably best known as a hater of the fair sex but we are going to tell you a secret: we believe that this seeming aversion rises from the fact that somewhere he has a first love to whom he has ever remained faithful. This year Ralph ' s abilities have been more fullv recognized than heretofore and he has been made laboratory assistant in the Chemical Department, and also Vice-president of his class. All his friends and they are many — wish him as much success and good luck in future life. ROBERT WILLIAM H)WE, Shinnstown, West Virginia. Bob entered the Engineering School of Washing- ton and Lee in the fall of 1915, and this trip marks his first excursion from the beautiful hills of West ' irginia. Awed by the whirling metropolis of Lex- ington he applied himself strictly to his studies which consisted mainly of sciences. His applica- tion has annexed many intellectual scalps to his belt, chief among these being Geologv Scholar- sliip and the assistant ' s position in Physics. His work, h owever, has not been entirely confined to his books, suicide being his ruling passion. Bob- b ' ' s experience in this eccentric game was largely responsible for a place upon the dirty-five in 1918. This same session he served on the CaK ' x Staff, and this year enjoys the distinction of being Historian of the Senior Science Class. Bob ' s activities have kept him pretty busy nearly all of his academic career, and few men are niuTibered among his intimates. Those who do enjoy this privilege know him for his scintillating wit and repartee which is ever ready to dart in and take advantage of an opening. After graduating from Washington and Lee Lowe intends to pursue mining engineering as his life work. He will probably enter the Colorado School of Mines.

It was as though all nature realized that some- thing of importance was going to happen, for on that day the students of Washington and Lee would once more flock back to the school they love so well, and among the number of returning students would be found at least some of the men, who two years before had made their appearance as Freshmen, one hundred and fort strong — the former Cream of the South — whose possibilities of greatness and achievement were limited only by their numbers, and who were now to play such an import- ant rolp in the affairs of a democratic student-body. In the first place, while in point of numbers our third year at W. and L,, this may be said to be our first year in the university under even approximately normal conditions. We entered as Freshmen after the United States had joined her strength in the great world conflict, and all through our Freshman year our intellectual pursuits were sadly and seri- ously disturbed by the turbulent influences of the din of arms, and the crash of mighty empires falling about our heads. The first part of our Sophomore year was rendered peculiarly delightful by one long, sweet taste of another side of life at the hands of L ncle Sam, and during the rest of that ear we were undergoing the consequent period of reconstruction. Has twenty-one done her part this year as the Junior class at Washington and Lee ? The facts in hand make bold to answer Yes. Our football team — and incidentally op- posing teams — felt the importance of the Junior class in the persons of Raines and Corbett, and these athletes have given ample proof of their ability in baseball. Partlow did credit to his class in track, while for intellectual lights of unusual splendor we point with pride to Bowyer and Thompson. And then in the captivating realm of social activity, the enviable career of Tiny Trotter stands, equalled by few, surpassed by none. And now, when, in the normal course of events, we are about to assume the position and attending responsibilities of Seniors, we sincerel hope and confidently believe that the class which, two years ago, was so ably and emphatically assimilated by the present graduating class, and which, last year, made genuine Washington and Lee men of a subse- quent class of promising Freshmen, can fearlessly face the responsibilities of next year with the consciousness of dut , ably and faithfully performed.

W. .Miller Historian Pacie One Hunjrci Thirty-five In September last year, one hundred and thirt. -two men assailed Newcomb Hall and became the Class of ' 22. A large number of these became members of the S. A. T. C, but a ver few, about thirt , lacked the necessar eighteen summers and were unable to partake of the delectable fare that Charley, the Greek, placed before their elder brothers. Under military rule, ' 22 succeeded well. At one time, three of her men were top-sergeants of three companies and many others were line-sergeants and corporals. Yet in spite of numerous successes the first term of the session was ver much of a nightmare, filled with such horrible hallucinations as push and pull, trench duty, inspection, quaran- tine. and many others. It was a time that tried men ' s souls, but ' 22 required far more discouragement than this to keep them from the campus and Wilson Field, to say noth- ing of McCrum ' s and the pool room. A few, for different reasons, fell by the wa side, but September, 1919, found ninety of the old class back on the campus very much alive and active. With the old W. L. pep they began making themselves felt — in classes, in ath- letics, and in other activities. The pigskin knows Arbogast and Dawson, while the basketball is personally acquainted with Arbogast, Hines, Buskirk and Ball. Caldwell, Garard, and Hawkins are to be remembered for their work on the track team. Not onh did old ' 22 make herself known on the Athletic field, but quite a few of her men actually made an ' A in some of their tickets. We had other stars, too, as many university men can testify, who could make the elu- sive ivory balls do their bidding on the green felt tables. The publications, the literary societies, the . M. C. A., the crews, and in fact every branch of university activities have men of ' 22 in their ranks. We have braved the war and the automatic, and we still sail steadily onwards and will so continue as our last year ' s historian hoped, and may his wish that we be referred to as a class that typifies the high ideals of our Alma Mater be fulfilled in the near future.

I 4 ' -fl i 1 . 1 The Class of ' 23 furnished the most gorgeous sunrise that has ever appeared over the horizon of a Washington and Lee school year. Not only is it the largest class in the annals of the University, but because of circumstance and that cir- cumstance is the war, it is the oldest in age, and therefore the most settled. Realizing it would be a hard matter for the upper classmen to instill . (Sc L. spirit into such a large number of new men, the Freshmen took part of the responsi- bility upon themselves and seven submitted to the grueling on the football field: Cobb, Daves, McDonald, Iattox, Marshal. Rosamond, Nuckols, and Wiltshire; three of these men, McDonald, Daves, Mattox, winning the monogram. The Sophomore class, a shrewd and thoughtful aggrega- tion, decided it would be to their best interests to see that the annual Freshman-Sophomore push ball contest was not held, and as a result of this decision, so many holes were found in the traditional sphere that it was impossible to inflate it or ha e it repaired. Sunday after the Georgia Tech. game dawned bright and fair, disclosing a town which fairly shouted a testimony to the skill of 23 as a group of artists, while the C. O. fast mail otherwise known as the Virginia Creeper, started its southward journey, a veritable rolling advertisement of the prowess of W. L. The less said about the following Monday, however, the better; be it sufficient to remark that there was a shortage in Lexington of turpentine and all pat- ented paint remover. After this rise and fall, the Freshmen redeemed themselves somewhat by decorating the grand stand and athletic field in blue and white for the last home game. The Sophomores all this time were scattering jo - and good feeling by a series of receptions, held in the economics room, where a warm welcome was extended to the Freshmen by the Sophomore representatives, commonly known as the Vig- ilance Committee. But now an age old desire possesses the minds of the members of 23 : and all eyes begin to glance ahead on the calendar to the date of Easter, the time when the Freshman hats are placed upon the cremation fire, and the Freshmen to all outward appearances change the prefix Fresh to Old. The baseball team is as yet made up of opinions, but the wearers of the white and blue hats are counting on some of their members being among those nine men who will repre- sent Washington and Lee. As a whole, considering the fact that they entered at a critical time in the history of the country, and were handi- capped by time lost from school, the class of 23 has an exceptional right to be proud of its record for 1919-1920, ma the class and school as well have cause to be proud.

Oh, wide world, wet with the blood and tears Of a myriad men through the waste of years. Thou art still strong, still strong! Kings have crawled o ' er thy face in state, Armies crept to the cruel fight. Nations, seeking to rule thv fate By the sordid tool of a sceptered might, Filled thee with wrong, sad wrong. Oh world that credled the Lord of Light To lead the van of the ranks of Right, To crush the creed of the law of Might, Thy course creeps slow, so slow! For the burning blade of His Great Ideal, In deadly grapple with greed must reel, And soul of men must grow While children starve and women weep, And charred walls grin in gaunt relief. And men fall locked in a ghastly sleep. And the heart of the whole earth breaks with grief, Before the dawn can glow. Oh, broken, blackened, and bleeding world. Grim wraith through the realms of star dust hurled, Woe wailing in thy wake ! Oh, agony of that one last throe, Oh, blood and tears, how thy floods did flow. Oh, hearts that war did break! The storm is past, and the kings are cast In the lurid depths of a buried past. And the Great Ideal smites strong and fast. And the people rise for the right at last; And wherever men are short of sight. And wherever souls have failed to grow. They shall go down ' neath a new-found might. For the People are strong, though the People are slow; And the blind shall be burned by the blaze of light. For God looms large in the morning glow.

Square and Compass is the successor of the old Masonic Club which existed at Washington and Lee for thirt or forty years. In 1917. the Club decided to change its name and to expand into an organization to take in Masonic Clubs in other col- leges. Accordingly in the spring of 1917, the present name was adopted and the or- ganization was incorporated under the laws of the State of Virginia. During the war. Square and Compass found its work handicapped by the fact that all of its founders had gone into the Army. However, at the beginning of the session 1919-20, the organization again became active and, at the convention on January 10, 1 ' 320, the Masonic Club at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute petitioned for and was granted a charter. At the time of this writing, a number of other petitions have been received, but as they have not been acted upon, the colleges cannot be mentioned. Square and Compass is the only organization of its kind in the United States. There is one other organization of college Freemasons, but members of Greek-letter fraternities are excluded from membership. Eligibility for membership in Squ ire and Compass is limited to membership in duly-constituted lodges of Free and Accepted Masons.

Baker Page Tit:o Hundred Se ' en JutnTnUpgtat? i battng ITH the great increase in the student body, and the coming of peace, debating has taken on a different and more important aspect at Washington and Lee. Once mereh a side line for those with spare time, debating contestants go through a gruelling selection comparable to that in Varsity athletics. Work. and more work from the date of preliminaries until the contest under stringent and unceasing competition has marked this year ' s debating. Delta Sigma Rho, small ever since its initiation, is finding more candidates eligible i for its honors. - There iiad been no inter-collegiate debate held when this went to press but arrange- ii ments have been made for two e.xcellent contests. One is a triangular affair with J Johns Hopkins and the University of North Carolina; the other with Tulane Univer- l sity. The subject for discussion in the triangular debate is: Resolved, That a System ; ' ( of Military Training for Young Men Should Be Adopted By the United States. It is arranged that each team will debate on neutral grounds — Johns Hopkins and Wash- ington and Lee at Durham, North Carolina; Johns Hopkins and University of North jj Carolina at Lexington; and University of North Carolina and Washington and Lee at Baltimore. In the preliminaries, the contest for spaces was very spirited. The judges chose the following men: J. G. Anderson, W. C. Anderson, G. H. Baber, C. A. Foss, E. W. Poindexter, and W. E. Smith. Preliminaries for the Tulane debate also were held and although the contestants were not so numerous, the contest was exceedingly interesting. As a result W. B. F. Cole, W. F. Parker, and G. H. Baber were chosen. The question in this debate is: Resolved, That the Several States Should Create Minimum Wage Boards with power to establish Schedules of Minimum Wages in Workshops and Factories, constitutionally conceded. This contest will be held at Lexington in the latter part of April, with Washington and Lee upholding the negative side. Pa e Tzt;o Hundred liighl Page Two Hundred Ten t. m. (E. A.

Mattingly, Student Member HE work of the Noting Men ' s Christian Association was started off for the college year by a Fall Setting-up Conference for which about twenty Chris- tian students interested in the program of the Christian Association for the year got together two days before college opened, and there laid the plans for the ear ' s work. One of the chief features of the work to be emphasized was the Bible Discussion Groups which feature called for student leaders of student groups to gather once a week ia Normal Training Class under Dr. E. F. Shannon, and there prepare themselves to lead their respective groups. This plan was carried out. the year opening with ten classes and gradually increasing until there was a total of nineteen with an enrollment of a little more than three hundred. The object of these classes was to discuss campus evils in the light of Christian ideals. In addition to this Bible Discussion Group Plan it was decided also to lend the influence of the Association to the Student Bible Classes organized in each one of the four Protestant Churches in Lexington and to build these up in every way possible. It was also planned at the Setting-up Conference to have a Mid-week Religious Meeting every Thursday night for the discussion of Religious subjects and for inspira- tional addresses by the town Ministers. Members of the Faculty, and visiting speakers. A new feature of work inaugurated was the I utoring Committee under the leader- ship of L. A. Cushman. This Committee did a great deal of tutoring the first term to men who were back in subjects either from failure to take hold properly or from poor preparation. This help could be obtained either b application by the men desir- ing help or was sometimes sent to the student at the advice of the Professor under whom the man was failing. No charge was made for this tutcjring although several members of the committee were men who had heretofore received a tee for such work. It has been customary in the past for the M. C. A. to edit during the summer a handbook of information about the university which gives in compact form to all Paae T-n ' o Hundred Eleven new men the information most needed and most useful during the opening months of college. It was thought that this handbook, more familiarly known as the Freshman Bible, would have to be given up this last year due to the great increase in the cost of publishing it, but it was finally decided that it was worth the money and four hundred and fifty of these books were received and distributed during the first week of school. Due to the great increase in the Student-body this did not prove to be enough books, though it was a hundred more than there were students the spring previous. How- ever, every new man received one, the balance being given to old students. One feature of the Y. M. C. A. this year which was new and which has proved very popular has been a Lyceum Course of Entertainments. This has been given to the Faculty and Students of the University as a membership privilege of the Associa- tion free of charge. To help finance this Course which cost approximately three hun- dred dollars the Chairman of Social Work, H. D. Jones, and the Secretary sold a limited number of Course tickets and reserve seats to citizens of Lexington, but kept three hundred and fifty seats to be free to students. The Course consisted of four entertainments furnished by the Piedmont Lyceum Bureau of Asheville, N. C. The first one did not prove to be a great success, but the three following numbers were fine and w ' ere enthusiastically received by large audiences. Probably no feature of the Y. M. C. A. work stood out more prominently than the football coaching done in the fall by the General Secretary. With the consent of the Advisory Board and the Student Officers of the Association the Secretary devoted every afternoon during the football season to helping Coach Raferty whip a new team into shape for a hard but successful football season. The Secretary, Ted Shultz, played on the Washington and Lee Football Team the four years he was here. 1912, 1913, 1914, and 1915, and brought to his coaching not only the football knowledge gained under three different coaches during his four years here, but also a love of the School and a devotion to clean athletics which made his services invaluable. His labor was a labor of love and his services a contribution from the W L C. A. to the athletics of the University, as he performed this work free of charge which usually costs the University from three to five hundred dollars. As this section of the Calyx goes to press there has just been completed with the cooperation of the ' . M. C. A. a very successful series of meetings held by Dr. Charles F. Myers, ' 98, and his Quartet from the First Presbyterian Church of Greens- boro, North Carolina. At the request of the Y. M. C. A. a student assembly was called for Dr. Myers on the first day of his visit to Lexington, and there four hundred students were introduced to the kind of services which Dr. Myers intended having in the Presbyterian Church during the following week. Large numbers of students heard him throughout the week, and a general uplift was felt throughout the campu.y as a result of the virile religion and the sweet music of these meetings. The budget of the Y. M. C. A. has been close to four thousand dollars this year, twelve hundred of which was willingly subscribed by the Student-body at a Chapel Meeting held in the fall where the work of the Association was explaintd. One mem- ber of the Board of Trustees of the University made a very handsome donation of several hundred dollars to the work, and the Board of Trustees voted one thousand dollars toward the salary of the Association Secretary. It is felt by the Student-body that the work as it has developed under a full-time Secretary is worthwhile. Never until the S. A. T. C. experience made it possible has Paqr Tiio Hundred Twelve there been a full-time Secretan- employed on uur campus, and while the work pros- pered and the Religious Program was continued, it diil not grow to the proportions that it has assumed since January. 1919. The Recreation Room, which wps formerly the English l.tctiire Room, where there is a piano, v.ctrola, checkers, chess, current magazines, and a limited amount of wholesome recreat.on material, has proved to be one of the moft popular spots on the campus. It is hard for students who have entered since January, 1919. to realize the campus without this little social center, for there was no place on the campus where friends might gather in spare hours — no place short of the Pool Room and Drug Stores. One corner of the Recreation Room is given over to the much famed Honor System Canteen of Washington and Lee.

Quite a few Calics ' were present and much pep manifested The sponsor for W.

' Piii e Tivu Hundred Fifly-four- N-Form-Als OPENING HOPS The Social Life at W. L. was ushered into be- ing by opening hops on September 22nd and 23rd. As usual, they consisted of two dances and a dansant. Because of the very short notice on which they were given, the attendance of visiting girls was not as large as it has been in past years, but in the ver- nacular of the campus, those that were here were keen. WHITE FRIAR DANCE On November 15th, the VVhite Friar Ribbon So- ciety gave a dance in the Doremus Gymnasium be- tween the hours of 8 :30 and 11:30 P. Al. The Pi Alpha Nu Ribbon Socie- ty, the Cross Country Teams from U. of Va., V. P. I., Johns Hopkins and the football team from the U. of S. C, to- gether with the Fighting Generals, were invited. The music was fur- nished by the W. L. Jazz Kings and the dance was very much enjoyed by all present. COLUMBIA SEX-I TETTE DANCE A short diversion from the drudgery of monot- onous classes was made January 2bth by an in- formal dance in the Do- remus Gymnasium, just following the concert giv- en by the Columbia Sa.x- aphone Sextette, and Bar- oness Rouska a at the New Theater. Although only a small number of girls were present, the short diver- sion was appreciated and enjoyed. Page T-vjo Hundred Fifty-five C. H. McCain H. F. Trotter M. W.

Not only in the realms of literary, political and legal circles have her men become famous, but her athletes have also spread the fame of their prowess far and wide. In recent years the athletic teams turned out have been up to the high- est standard, and many are the heroes of rival institutions who bear the hoof-marks of W. and L. men on their pride. Up to the entrance of the United States into the War, Washington and Lee teams traveled far and wide, carrying with them a reputation for clean and hard playing which increased her prestige from year to year. Never will the memory- of such men as Cy Young, Bob Ignico, Pike Johnson, Ted Schultz, Buck Miles, John Izard, Harry Moran and the host of others who have worn the trident, fail to remind us of the glories of the past. This year has seen the advent of teams in every department which do credit to the University and live up to the records of the past. In Football and Basketball excellent records have been made ; Track and Baseball prospects are excellent. Not only are the major sports stressed, but the many different athletic teams open to the students make it possible for almost every student to make some one of them at least. Ability in any line has an opportunity to make itself useful, and it is in this universal system of athletics which has given to Washington and Lee its leadership in the ath- letic world among colleges of its own size and places it ahead of many larger insti tu- Among the regular organized athletic teams are football, baseball, basketball, track, both indoor and outdoor, tennis, swimming, wrestling and gymnasium events. Inter-class competition is strong in basketball, baseball, swimming, and the annual heavy gym. meet. Those who read the following pages will see the individual record of each sport, and will understand the breadth of the system of physical education in practice here. And he who sees the place athletics have in the life of every student at Washington and Lee will understand the spirit of loyalty and devotion which every man feels and which pervades the entire campus and enters into every phase of college life.

With only five monogram men back at the beginning of the season, Rafter faced the problem of hav- ing to build around this nucleus of veterans an entire new team. How well he accomplished this end the record of his team bears eloquent evidence. With his own football system, he has produced a team that has won the Southern Champion- ship and undying fame for itself and him upon the campus of Washington and Lee. Under the coaching of Raftery the Generals were enabled to wrest from Georgia Tech. a victory for the first time since the two institutions have met. This triumph followed closely on the heels of the burial of V. P. 1. b the Generals in Lynchburg. Raftery hails from Yonkers N. Y., and came to Washington and Lee from Syra- cuse in 1911. In 1911 and 1912 he played stellar ball at quarterback for the Generals. In his first year as a member of the team he called the signal that sent V. P. I. down in defeat and broke the hoodoo she held over the White and Blue. He was graduated in 1915 and was assistant coach from 1913-lfa, when he ac- cepted the position as head coach at Chick Springs Military in South Carolina. In 1917 he returned to Washington and Lee as head coach of that institution. In 1918 he answered the bugle call and was placed in charge of the petty officers ' camp at Pellam Bay. He was recalled to Washington and Lee as head coach of all athletics at the beginning of this present session. Piit e T-L-.n HunAred Sixty-nine ilnunnram (Elub C. M. Peale President L. L.

There was on the campus on Wash- ington and Lee at this time a former All-American tackle, a W. and L. graduate and the possessor of four gold footballs for brilliant work on the gridiron from 1913 to 1916. This football wizard was devoting all of his time and energies to the Y. M. C. A., but making known his desire to serve his Alma Mater on the athletic field as well, his generous ;)fl er was accepted and then began a labor of love and devotion; for with no other incentive but loyalty 10 urge him, Ted reported every day to Wilson Field promptly at three o ' clock, and except when he was scouting other teams, not once did he miss a practice. With no :)ther reward than the wholesome pleasure of his work and the knowl- edge of duty, as he saw it, well done ; exhibiting a loyalty, faithful- ness, and energy seldom equalled, E. B. Schultz deserves all the ap- preciation that can be heaped upon him, and football enthusiasts fnust remember that the success of the i919 Generals was due in no small measure to the fighting spirit of one of the old guard of 1916. Eraump of pason When the referee ' s final whistle brought the Washington and Lee-Tulane game to a close it dropped the curtain upon one of the most successful football seasons completed in the history of the spori by the Cenerals, and once again Turkey Day saw them the proud possessors of the Southern Crown. The team which played its last game in New Orleans was a finished product — a machine in every sense of the word. A highly developed piece of mechanism which moved as smoothly and regularly as the finest product of man ' s mechanical genius. Individual play was sacrificed for team work and precision— therein lay its strength. But the team which finished the season was a far different aggregation than the eleven which opened the schedule on Wilson Field versus Randolph-Macon. Page Tko Hundred Seventy-four Sevent luisky lads answered the call for candidates issued by Coach Raftery in mid- September and of these but four had any previous collegiate experience, Raines and Bethel both vetrans under the White and Blue. C ' ogbill, a former Randolph-Macon star, and Sanford, previously of Richmond College. Thus, at the very start the future was far from bright, but Raftery undaunted by the poor outlook set himself to the task of welding a mach-ine around his veterans — a machine whose ' ery keynote should be team work. Practice had been under way just about two weeks when Shifty Moore of 1916 fame drifted onto Wilson Field and straightway became an important cog in the machine. Hardly had Moore arrived when Big Ed Bailey, a guard of the Fighting Cienerals of ' 17, appeared upon the scene of action and was once more drafted into the ranks of the White and Blue. The line was placed under the hand of Ted Schultz, o achieved the noteworthy success of developing a line which was classed as the equal of anything in the country by those who saw them play. In addition to the aforementioned linesmen, Paget the successor of Al Pierotti, completed its list from tackle to tackle and the terminal positions fell to the lot of Corbett, Daves and Monk Mattox. Of backfield men there was an abundance, but the pres- ence of a good punter was lacking and handicapped the team throughout the season. Beyond a doubt this defect in the Gen- erals ' repertoire was one of the greatest factors in preventing a touchdown against Georgia Tech. The backs who started against Randolph-Macon were selected from Cogbill, Jimmy Mattox, Mc- Donald, Raines, Matson, Davis, Cobb, and Sinclair. This first string backfield was later strengthened by the advent of Bullet Joe Silverstein just before the Davidson game. In this game Silverstein played as wonderful football as an individual is capable of playing — a bulwark of defense in backing up the line, he made tackles all over the field, while his offensive plunges were directly responsible for the lone tally of the Generals. Coach Raftery soon narrowed his backfield choice down to Silverstein, McDonald, Raines, and Jimmy Mattox, with Mac Cogbill running the team in Mattox ' s place as the latter was laid up with a had shoulder and absent from the line-up until the ' . P. I. game. Substitutes almost as good as the first string quartet were found in Cobb, Matson, Steves, Sinclair and Davis. In the line the faithful and dependable work of Collins and Barrow who fought every inch of the way for their positions earned them the right to plav in nearh ever game. So much for the constitution of the team. Randolph-Mason was met and vanquished 21 to 0, nothing of any consequence featuring the contest, the usual greenness and rust appearing in the play which is present in every opening game. Davidson followed and proved a tougher nut to crack than was expected. But for the work of Silverstein the Garnet and Black might have held W. • L. scoreless, though it must he said in self-defense that the breaks were all with the Cardinals. Their long-sweeping end runs were as well executed as any witnessed on Wilson Field this year. The Norfolk Naval Base was crushed 78 to 0, the frequent fights which occurred all over the field furnishing more interest than the lagging game. Sinclair running behind well-massed interference negotiated three beautiful runs, each well o ver forty yards. This game together with the Roanoke College game in which only three different plays were run served to polish off any rough edges which remained, before the V. P. I. game. In the last home game of the season the Generals blanked South Carolina 2b to 0. This game furnished one of the greatest thrills of the year when Blount of the Carolinians scooped up a fumble on his own ten-yard line and ran eighty yards before being downed by Stevens, who circling an interference of three men caught him on the Generals ' ten-yard line. Here the White and Blue defense steeled itself and after three ineffectual plays at the line a place kick was blocked. This was as near as the c;anie Cocks got to the ' . i L. goal. This contest was marked by the aerial attack of the CSenerals.

For fifty- five minutes of fight the hall fee-sawed up and down the field, first one side having the advantage and then the other : hut for the most part the White and Blue kept the oval in the enemy ' s territory. The game soon resolved into a line plunging struggle on the part of the Generals against a thoroughly defensive front on the part of V. P. I., protected ahva s by end runs or punts on any down. The Techs realized the fu- tility of penetrating the General ' s line and gave up this method of attack, resorting to the tactics mentioned above. The whole contest was played in a drizzling rain, and with only five minutes to play it looked as if the struggle would end a scoreless tie. But at this juncture of the game the superior team asserted itself. On the fourth down Silverstein fell back on the forty-yard line, the ball was snapped, the blue line held like a stone wall, but the thin red line cracked under the strain and the ball sped straight and true between the goal posts for the scant three point margin of vic- tory. Page Tii-u Hundred Sfventy-six WASHINGTON AND LEE 3 GEORGIA SCHOOL OF TECH Georgia Tech. for three ears the nemesis of Washington and Lee, was met and vanquished in her own backyard on Nov. 11. 1919, in exactly the same way another technical school had been served the week before. The first game with the bellow Jackets was in 1916 and resulted in a 7 to 7 tie. The second was a decisive victory for Tech, while the story of the third has been often sung and continues to be sung as long as there is a student at Washington and Lee. The game was heard at the Lyric by direct wire, practicalh- the whole student body attending, and when the telegram bearing the news of the drop-kick reached the theater the roof was raised to a fare-thee-well. But to get back to the facts of the game. Georgia Tech did not bring her famous jump-shift into play until the last few minutes of the game and then met with a degree of success due to the darkness and the inability of the players to see the ball, but on the whole her attack centered around long end runs by Flowers and punts directed by the same toe when her goal became endangered. Washington and Lee had a chance to score in the first five minutes of play when Daves recovered a fumble with a clear field ahead, but his momentum was too great and he could not recover his balance. Each side attempted three drop kicks, the winning one coming in the last half of the last quarter. Flowers was only dangerous once with his toe in that line of attack. The entire Washington and Lee aggregation played like demons, said the press; Bethel was a holy terror and such clipping and tackling had never been seen on Grant field before. No alibis (with the exception of Heisman ' s) were forthcoming. The best team won, and reports and figures give the Generals supremacy in three- fourths of the game. Jimmy Mattox, the quick-thinking, All Southern Quarterback, put over the slim three points which were enough to satisfy the boys at home, and alibi as Heis- man will, the score will always be the same: W. L. 3, George Tech. 0. -.-dt Paffe Tivo Hundred Seventy-seven (Continued from Page 275) position among football critics, said that never in his life as a player and official had he seen a team with as complete a knowl- edge of the forward pass as Washington and Lee demonstrated. The Generals have always been considered as having a wonder- ful forward pass, but never before have they received such recog- nition of their efforts. On November 22, Washington and Lee suffered its first defeat of the season at the hands of Georgetown bv the score of 27 to 6. No alibis were forthcoming, the team which faced the Generals that Saturday was a better team than they were and deserved to win. Bethel made the only score of the White and Blue following a blocked punt which he carried thirty yards. Thanksgiving Day saw Washington and Lee in the Crescent City, where they administered a defeat to Tulane in a downpour of rain which fell throughout the entire game. The field was a huge puddle. The outstanding feature of the game was the work of Raines, who on both the defense and otfense was the most brilliant light on the field. As has been said before the Generals of 1919 were a machine. There was no real star who featured in every game, and individuality was sacrificed for the good of the whole. The absence of a brilliant broken field runner was keenly felt. The interference was available to get him loose, but there was no one to get loose. This fact, coupled with the absence of a dependable punter were the only flaws, if they could be termed such in Raftery ' s invention. R. B. -McDOUGLE .Manager Page Tivo Hundred Seirnty-nt ht CAPT. E. T. BETHEL Turner pro ed to be one of the best captains the Blue and White ever had. He was a superb tackle and a powerful man offensively and defensively. An unanimous selection in the All-Southern and All-South Atlantic teams, this boy ended his career for the Generals in a blaze of glory. If he plays the game in life as he has played it in college, we know his suc- cess is sure. X OLIVER DAVES, End This big boy was trned out a? tackle, but having been a fl er in France, Coach decided his speed was needed on an end. Ollie started in the beginning with they don ' t make an inch around the end, and no team could. When a man was hit, he didn ' t go down, he went back, and Ollie never missed a tackle. He had a brother who captained Vanderbilt. but we ' re to bet the crown goes on Ollie ' s head. i L. L. MOORE, Captam-elect ■ This big 200 pounder comes from a football family. Shif- ty played his brother to a standstill in the V. P. I. game a few years ago, and another brother is playing on the Navy team. Lindsay is one of the most powerful linemen the Generals ever had. A fast man for his size, he is a vicious tackier, heady player, and his ability was recognized by the team when they made him captain of the 1Q20 team. Pat e Tiiii lluriiirij Seventy-nine ED. BAILEY, Guard B ' g Ed , as his nickname implies, was the giant of the Generals. A product of Wilson Field, this big boy made a namt- for himself as a linesman and his position was impreg- nable on all occasions. Ed had one of the lowest, hardest charges of any man on the stonewall line, and when opposing q-b ' s tried Ed once they realized that tliere was no chance. PAUL SANFORD, Guard Sandy ' s slogan was Get ' em before they get started and he lived up to his reputation — a fighter in all his b ft. and 200 lbs., he played as consistent a game as any man could play. The fastest man in the line, and playing his first ear as a lines- man, he has a wonderful future ahead of him. JACK CORBEinr, End The speed merchant of the Generals. It was a sight to see Jack flash down the field, reach and pull down one of Jimmy ' s passes. Distance? Corbett always made it. Jack was light, but he made up for it in speed. And how he could in ' t ' em, as Jud - Harlan, of Georgia Tech fame, can testify. Jack could bust an interference or sift through and get his man, and we ' ll say he got em. Page Tzi;o Hundred Eighty M. MATTOX, End Monk and Corbett alternated. When Corbett was given a rest Monk Mattox was the man on the job ; he was a fast and vicious tackier and few gains could be made around his en — and Monk knew how to box a tackle. All in all, Monk was a trouble maker for anv team. FRANK PAGET. Center Two hundred lbs. of speed. When the king of centers, Al Pierrotti, finished his career, a man arose in the Generals ' camp, — but, well Frank Paget entered Washington and Lee, and what a hole he plugged up! Frank used his hands like Al, got em through the line and around the ends and the center of the line was always safe. L. P. COLLINS, Center and End If there ever was a n aggressive football player, that man was Pat Collins. Playing as center and end, they all looked alike to Pat. In the Georgia Tech. game Pat went in at center and he played Capt. Pup Philips off his feet. He was exceptionalh ' fast, steady, accurate and faced no line that he couldn ' t sift through and get his man. And if called on Pat could play any position on the team. Payf T- ii HuiuireJ Eighty-one JAMES P. MATTOX, Quarterback Here is the quarterback that spilled the beans for Georg- ia Tech. It was Jimmy ' s accurate toe that knocked the Gold- Tornado from its pinnacle of fame. What it took to shoot the passes, hit a line, run the ends and kick, Jimmy had. He was selected quarterback on the All-Southern and who in Dixie has not heard of the Generals ' stellar quarterback. MAC COGBILL, Quarterback Mac proved an e.xcellent quarterback. There never was a time when he was called on, and the times were man , that he couldn ' t fill the bill. He was extremely cool, picked the weak spots with rare precision, and was a beautiful broken field runner. Mac was a real quarterback. SAM RAINES, Halfback What it took for consistency, Sammy had. The most re- liable halfback on the field, his work was brilliant. He had a stiff arm and a side step that few teams could stop, and there never was a time during the season that Sam could not make his distance, and the line never bothered when a man happened to get through, because Sammy hit him before he went far and he never missed. Pagf Tivn Hundred Iiiyhty-ti::o JOE SILVERSTEIN, Fullback Here is a man that couldn ' t be stopped. Built low and powerful, Bullet Joe was a veritable batterinj;; ram. Fast in leaving his position, using rare judgment in picking his holes, Joe was off and through like a flash and was never thrown back. He is probably one of the best defensive backs ever igga f- on Wilson Field. Joe played in the V. P. I. and Georgia Tech games with a fractured rib, and a bad injury in the Tech game prevented him from getting all the praise due him. He has played with the Generals three years. JOE McDonald, Fullback Here stands the pile driver of the Generals ' machine. Mac is only 18 and playing college football for the first time, but to see him hit the line you would think he was just finishing his career. When Wahoo and Bullet Joe hit a line, they tore yards in it and no one had anything on this big fullback when it came to backing up the line, and he usually drove a man back through a hole faster than he came out of it.

And full five hundred faithful hearts Go with them to the fateful field. That thev may die before they yield. The pass, the buck, the tackle play, Worked wonders on that doubtful day. But still the Techmen stood like stone Before the goal they called their own. Not long was left to play. But by the toe of Bullet Joe, Their hopes were sent to dwell below; Sadly they went away; For in our pockets plunked the dough That they had staked upon the fray. And all the world was glad to know The Generals ruled in old V-a. Swelled up by four long years of sway, A yellow cyclone swirled its way Through Georgia ' s sunny state. Its minions, in unholy pride. The sons of all the South deride. And ominously prate How all the teams on every side Shall feel the Cyclones ' weight. Then Raftery, that dauntless king.

And freed the sunny Southland fair Bv that well-strucken blow. The Carolina boys were fruit, Though they were strong and resolute When the invading came. But up the N ' alley turned our eyes, Where, on the hills of Paradise, Bright burned the crown of fame. But we were worn, and Silverstein, Before whose plunge melts every line. Was suflFering from his wound. But we were brave, and, undeterred. We went us northward, where we heard The Catholics were found. We lost the battle without shame; Still shone our undefiled name; Back to old Lexington we came. And, like a beast no blow can tame, Undaunted looked around. Only a greenback turtle showed A hostile head upon the road That led to Championship. And shall you let him bar the way, .Men whom the Cyclone could not slay? And will you take his lip?

Although the influ- enza broke into the season and caused the cancellation of some of the principal games the season as a whole was a great success. The season opened with Hampden-Sidney, the Generals emerg- ing victorious by the score of 37-11. Captain Bryant made the first goal of the season, but the work of the team was ragged. McCain, Moore and Engleby were the stars for V. : L. The Blue and White wc e a decidedly improved team on their second appearance, and took the Roanoke hunch in to the tune of 33 to 18. It was a rough game, and the opposition made a strong bid for victory. McCain and Nloore again did great woii, but the absence of Stevens was felt in both of these games. Randolph-Macon and Richmond came next in order, the former getting the short end of a 29 to 6 score, the latter taking a 51 to 6 defeat. The Gen- erals were beginning to get into form this week, the best work being done by Bryant and Stevens. The first prominent team to appear on the g m floor was Auburn, . uburn fought tiiroughout the contest, but was outclassed, the game going to V. and L. by a score of 34-10. Howard McCain was the bright star of this game, making several spectacular shots and scoring 20 of the 34 counters. All eyes were now turned toward the game with V. P. I., but it was at this stage that the health condition played so much havoc with the schedule. Bridge- water College was brought over for a contest, the result being a shooting match which McCain won. Moore and Stevens both did good work on the floor. The final score was 53 to 7, though not a field goal was scored on the regulars. The Generals -met their -first defeat of the season at the hands of A. E. The inability to locate the basket and the blind passing of the C encrals caused them to lose the game which should have been credited to their list of victories. The annual game with V. P. 1. was played at Roanoke on the following Saturday night; Tech ' s accurac in locating the basket at long ranges was primarily responsible for their victory. Their total was greatly increased by the abilitv of Parish to score on fouls. Br ant and Stevens starred for the Generals. Richmond was the scene of the final game of the season with Catholic University as worthy opponents of the CJenerals. The most notable feature of the game was the wonderful up-hill fight of W. L., the winning points of the game coming in the last few seconds of play. The playing of Bryant, Stevens and McCain featured. Pn e Tivo Hundred Eighty-eight H. S. BRYANT, Guard (Captain) Buck started the Generals off by making the first basket of the year and closed the season by making the winning goal in the last three minutes of the last game. He has played a won- derful game as stationary guard for the last three years and this year proved his ahilit as captain of the team. C. H. McCAIN, Forward Mac, finishing his third season on the Varsity, has made a record even surpassing his brother, who was a star in years past. McCain has been a leading scorer on the team, and in number of points was second last year in the South Atlantic Division. McCain will captain the 1Q21 Generals. W. F.

HIKES, Forward Big. hard and skillful, Frenchy filled his position with honor. His true eye never failed him in making his share of the score. He proved himself a valuable utility man at all times. J. t 1 R. S.- MOORE, Guard Ray, the Freshman of the team, proved himself exceedingly valuable to the Generals du0 to his combination of offensive and defensive playing.

D., M ' g ' r 1920 After a year of inactivit - on the diamond due to the late unpleasantness the Generals came back strong in the Spring of 19 19 playing a stiff schedule of twelve games and losing only one. When the season opened Coach Rafter ' faced a seeming- ly impossible task; to mold a winning bjLseball nine out of a mob of raw recruits with but one outfielder, one infielder and a pitcher to start with. The schedule with its appendage of scores is eloquent evidence of his success. Beginning with Lincoln Memorial which was nosed out I to O, W L began a regular series of games won in the ninth inning by a single score. The 1919 Generals were essentially a lucky team. No fan, however ardent, who followed their victories would be willing to deny this. A bonehead play would suddenlv turn itself into a streak of genius and in one game resulted in a steal home from third which won the game. The Univer- sity of North Carolina just did get the tail-end of a b to 5 game in the final innings and nearly every game was a thriller from start to finish. But these ninth inning rallies take no credit from the Generals ability. They had the punch to win and they put it over whether it was in the opening or closing session of the contest. Page Two Hundrrd . iiiety-jour The bi jrest week of the season enjoyed by the Generals resulted in the defeat of Pennsylvania State 4 to o, North Carolina 6 to 5 and V. P. I. 5 to o. This last marked the hi h-water mark of perfection attained by the entire team as not a sjingle error was chalked up against the w earers of the White and Blue only one of their opponents reached second during the whole game. However, Maryland State brought them to earth with a crash, stealing the only game lost, in W L ' s own back ard, by a score of 9 to 2. The last three games of the season were with Klon, Roanoke, and Concord Normal, none of these fur- nished difficulties to the White and Blue. Piiijc T-L(i Hundred Ninety-five PORTER SUTTON. Shortstop Porter is another veteran, this being his third year. Always dependable and at times brilliant, he was a mainstay in battery and fielding. He was third in batting with .238 and had an average of .8fa3 in the field. He will be missed in the 1920 line-up. . MERCER Captain Mercer Graham was a member of the dependable pitching stafif which went through a schedule of twelve games with only one defeat. Playing his fourth season with the Gen- erals. Graham led his team as a captain should and finished his career with high honors. JOHN DRYE, JR., First Base Dr e is a first year man who has made good. He led in the field ing honors with an average of .985 and was always dependable on the offensive; his average of .iii being second best on the entire team. Such facts speak for themselves M. C. HENDERSON, Center Field Matt hails from Chattanooga, where they play baseball all summer. He ought to be able to play. That is where he gets that wing and when it comes to bunting, he ' s right there. Matt ' s home run in the last game was something to be proud of. Page Tvji) HunJrrJ Sinrty-six JIMMY MATTOX, Catcher Proving himself from the first to be a player «f marl d abilitw Jimm cinched his position early in the season. He is a sensational hitter, his work with the willow winning more games than one. Matto.x led the team in batting with an av- erage of .409, and was a close second to John Drye for fielding honors. M- 9. L. RAINES, Right Field Sam, the old reliable, is as steady here as in football, where Raines always meant gains in football, it spelled a steady, consistent fielder and an artist with the willow. He has two more years and we don ' t want an ' better while he is here. BOB YANCEY, Third Base From the first Bob showed the stuff which was going to win for him a regular berth on the Varsity. It did not take long to prove that he was the man for third and there he is. Bob has a liking fur tuo-haggers and has three to his credit. He is fourth from the top in batting and will be higher next year. G. G. GREGG, Left Field This outfielder sustained for himself the reputation for pep and fight which he won on the gridiron. Leading in number of bases s tolen, Gregg was always valuable and will be missed in the 1920 team. This is Georgie ' s third year on the team. Fiii r r-o; Hundred Sineiy-seven JOHN CORBET! ' , Pitcher Jack came through in baseball just as he has done in everything he tries. In what was practically his first season, Corbett made himself a mainstay on the team, backing up Graham in the pitching staff. He will be a valuable man next season. T. S. JONES, Second Baseman- Shrimp, among other hings such as president of the student bod and like honors, has played varsity ball for three years. At second Shrimp is at home and-to watch him play, you ' d think he grew up there. Few hits are made past him and he holds up his end in all departments of the game.

Laboring under the continual handicap of being a newcomer in tlie Washington and Lee sporting Held, Tennis is continuall gaining greater recognition, greater sup- port and a larger number of followers. It has been rather strange that Washington and Lee, in spite of its interest in all other sports, has been far behind in the Tennis field. There has always been a crowd of men on the courts every spring, among them many excellent pla ers, but there has been lacking throughout the years a definite or- ganization. Realizing that nothing could be accomplished without this organization, a small band of men, interested in Tennis through love of the game, met in the early Spring of 1919 to form a Tennis Club. This was merely the beginning, the nucleus about which something greater could form. Later in the Spring the Tennis Club, acting independently, attempted to arrange a schedule of games, but found that the season was too well advanced and most schedules completed. However, after a pre- liminary tournament, open to all, a team was selected to meet a team from irginia Christian College. In this contest the W ' ashington and Lee men prosed themselves L. Paa,- Three HunJreJ Sfven superior in even, point of the game, and blanked their oppenents. So ended a season eminently successful in the e es o the Tennis Cjub ; for, accomplishing little in itself, it had sown ery fertile seeds. Now another season rolls around and the 1 ennis Club is no more; in its place is the Washington and Lee Tennis squad, acting under and recognized by the Gener,-il Athletic Association. The Athletic Association, at an early Spring; meeting, appointed Professor C. E. Williams as Coach, G. H. Baber as manager and L. D. Cohn as cap- tain. At the time this goes to press the prospects are that W.ishington and Lee will meet the best Colleges in the South and near East this Spring on the courts. At any rate Tennis has come to sta ; with the recognition of the G. A. A. and support of its many followers it is bound to gain a strong hold. ik- Page Three Hundred Eight Paiie Three Hundred Nine First Crew C. H. Patterson Stroke W. B. Patterson : Three J. L.

The Harry Lees outdistanced the wearers of the Blue at the tape by two boat lenjjths. The race was one of the fastest that has ever been rowed on the local course. Both crews put forth their mif htiest efforts to win. The race was appropriate to the Victory Finals being a clear cut demonstration of athletic prowess of well trained men. Both crews had been strenuously training for the past month, and with an almost equal number of veterans, both have stood almost even in their chances for ictor . The alumni packed the islands and lined the cliffs and roads. Jupiter Pluvious tried to argue the crews out of the race, but his best efforts were a slow choppy driz- zle, which dampness did not worry the alumni. Loud cries for Harry Lee came from one quarter, while an answering cheer for Albert Sidney came from another. Many cars loaded with fair Calics added zest to the otherwise gloomy atmosphere. The second crew race was also captured by the Reds. They came under the tape a full three lengths ahead and still going strong. They received a large cheer from the throngs, who prophesied a strong Harry Lee contender for the next year ' s race, if the Red crew returns to fill the vacancies. By the close of the second crew race, most of the spectators had arrived and were eagerly awaiting the start of the big race. The Albert Sidneys were the first to put out from the boat house and were soon followed by the Red shirts. Somewhere up the river Coach Raftery pulled a trigger, and the echo of the shot rang down the river to the ears of the waiting enthusiasts. It . was not long until the watchers from the cliffs saw the two crews swing around the first bend. The. Blues were in the lead and coming steady, while the Reds were sticking close. The barks of the coxswains could be heard by the ardent fans, as the Reds began to creep up on the speeding shell of the Blue. 1 he Harry Lees forged ahead and gained the inside at the second turn of the river. From that time on they gained steadily until they came onto the view of the landing a full length and a half ahead. Miller barked forth a command and the Reds put on a spurt that doubled their lead by the time that they were under the tape. Harry Lee used the short choppy stroke that brought victor ' in last year ' s regatta. The Albert Sidneys shortened their old long sweeping stroke but did not have the practice with it as had the Reds. The Reds jerkeil along like an old broken down horse, but finished like a thoroughbred record breaker. Booker Madison performed like a professional and those behind kept time ith his heaving shoulders. Big Pat al- so bent his oar almost double in the attempt to curb the spurts of the ambitious Reds. W. B. Patterson, Lowman, and Curt Humphreys responded to the calls of Shorty Thomas with admirable precision. However, both could not win and the Reds had it. Thompson, at stroke for the second team, pulled a strong oar for the Reds. Both second teams showed up well. Page Three Hundred Fourlren Page Three Hundred Fifteen uitmmtng quati 1920 p. L.

This spring has seen the beginning of a sport that will not only give an opport unit to experts in aquatics, but will serve to spread abroad the fame of our beautiful gymnasium and swim- wing pool. One intercollegiate meet, one Freshman meet and one open inter-class meet have been held held this year. The Varsity team met Johns-Hopkins Lni ersity here on March 6 in a dual affair in the first intercollegiate meet a W. and L. team has par- ticipated in. The score of 44 to 18 with the experienced Hopkins team on top tells the story. However, a beginning must be made and with the material in sight for next year, W. and L. supporters may look for a team which will do credit to the Uni- versity. On February 16 the Freshman swimming team competed in a triangular meet with Augusta Military Academy and Massanutten Academy. The rreshmeti were easily vinners and two records fell that night. J. F. Rushton broke the record for the plunge and again broke his own record, taking first place in the Hopkins meet, his final distance being 49 ft. b in. J. B. (3reiner lowered the record for the two lengths dash to 27 4-5 sec. The Washington and Lee Preparatory School In itation Swimming Meet will be held early in April. It is expected that all prep, schools who can will send men. Page Three Hundred Eighteen Annual Itiraitij ( ijmnastum Me t HE Heavy Gym. Meet is an annual affair whicli comes during the second term and competition is keen between the respecti e classes. This meet includes all jjymnasium e entS; and gives an opportunity for those men who have ability with gymnasium apparatus. Also coming at the time it does, the G ' m. Meet ser es as something to vary the mon( ton of the winter term. As W. and L. has ne er had a G ni. Team this meet serves to take its place to some extent and is always of grat interest to the whole student bod ' . using as it does more men tha any other sport. This ear the University has been fortunate in obtaining the services of E. P. King, as boxing and wrestling instructor. King was an instructor in the sports in the A. E. F. and under his competent coaching interest has arisen to a high extent. Coach Feltcher as usual trained the contestors in ,g mnasium apparatus.

It gives me a peculiar pleasure to propound to you, the coming baronets of the future industrial regime, a few of my ingenious and necessary fundamentals for the foundation of a predominating and ultra-successful business character. My primary admonition to you, the rising administrators of a writhing, twisting world of turmoil and revolution is: Don ' t be an Engine. In apt comparison of the modern industrial struggle for financial and social su- premacy with that parallel, the far-reaching and continent-covering complicated sys- tem of rail-transportation, all man-kind may be divided into two distinct and vital species, nainely : The type which ma be characterized as similar to a box-car, and, on the other extremity, that unfortunate ariety which betray traits vastly like unto those of the undesirable engine. For subsistence the grimy engine is capable of carrying only water and coal from the filthy bowels of the earth. The box-car could, before January sixteenth, hold the rarest of fancy wines and other exhilerating drinks, and even now it may slyly take on liquid which contains the elusive kick. It also receives the thousands of varieties of food stuffs from the slimiest oyster to the coarsest flour. This, young gentlemen, is, in itself, enough to justify your closest scrutiny and attention, and to make it your life-long ambition to become one of the chosen specie. The engine must have two men to handle its affairs, while the box-car follows in the footsteps of its successful predecessors of its own volition and without outside assistance. The box-car is a veritable mental gymnast, for it allows the foolish engine to do all of its work, yet the grain car arri es with the sweating worker and is more favor- ably received at its destination. The engint never e en aspires to leave its own division, for years and unto its last active day it runs up and down in the same old groove never seeking greater areas for its endeavor. On the other hand the box-car traverses the continent, leading the expanding life and conquering the broad expanse of the entire transportation system. In the wrecks of life you will find the engine usually in the lead and although it often drags down a few cars you will find that the number is relatively small. .Moral: Be the wise guy, let the other fellow do the work and issue the sweat, while ou reap the benefits therefrom. He slothful and you ' ll rise easilx xourself; be energetic and ()U will carr the other fellow to the top at our own expense.

A man learns from the mistakes he makes, but some students I know will never live long enough to get degrees. Equitation is popular among students. The athletes have Charlie-horses, the drinkers night-mares and the sharks have ponies. Some of our local politicians, like corkscrews, are more or less crooked, but have a strong pull. Beauty may be skin deep, but the thick-skinned girl is not always the most beauti- ful. Furthermore, we dont care if it is only skin deep so long as they wear the skin on the outside. Kappa Beta Phi ' s, like some doctors, take life easy. Never judge a fraternity by the opinion a member has of it. Some people are so miserly that you can ' t even take a joke at their e.xpense. A good many students expect the Y. M. C. A. to be religious for the entire student b()d A degree is something that doesn ' t come to the man who waits. The Dutch Inn woidd be all right if we went dutch. No fraternity is ever good from a rival ' s point of view. Some brands of friendship bear earmarks of politics.

But peace was not for me. gain I was in a huge swing, drifting to one side I seemed to awake and in misery, as I swung to the other side, a sweet restful darkness surrounded me. Final- ly I swung too far to the unpleasant side and my mind cleared up slowly as a fog rises from a swamp. Gad ! as I in a blacksmith shop ?

Meeting called to order for the usual purposes, of curtailing the dances at Wash- ington and Lee, with regular pacifiers present. On suggestion it was decided that the time was ripe for disclosing to the childish students our meaning when we announced that the Mid-Winter Dances were post- poned. Knowing us as the down-trodden dancers do, this explanation should be un- necessary, but it seems that there are a few Freshmen who are still disillusioned an«f still do hope that they will attend the regular three Mid-Winter Dances which have been customary ' from time immemorial. Such aspirations are of course preposterous since our decision to postpone them. Dr. Can Bull was instructed to spread the following definition on the local bull- boards and publish it in the Bring-Rum Nigh. Postpone — The prefix Post is de- rived from the Dago root, Posto, Post-toastie, Preposterous, meaning to sweep-away or annihilate. The stem Pone is of Wop origin, Pone, Pooh, Pop, and means to issue forth with a quick and sudden movement. From this knowledge you may well see that the entire word means to annihilate with a quick and sudden movement. By a brief study of this the stupid and uncouth students will realize what has become of the late Mid-Winter Dances and will of course take the situation with the usual subdued and unassuming air of the lowly slave. Mko tKoM.iJht rK4r Z -tC: tKit e i .3 well Paiic Three IlunJreel Thirty-tkree flTY}LET GS Entirely contrary to the wishes of the student-body, the newly-elected Athletic Council has adopted Pool and Billiards as our only two major sports in the future. This reform was carried through by the ever-zealous efforts of President Smith, who is so heartily in favor of this movement that his valuable time for the past two years has been almost completely consumed in bringing it about. He has carried on a per- sonal canvass of the school, inducing all students and particularly the Freshmen, to have twelve or fifteen games of the green-table sport in the forenoon. Rumor has it that Dr. Smith and Bill Higgins are in partnership, but we believe that no such base motives prompt our administrator and that his only aim is to promote clean, open fresh- air sport. His claim is that in spite of its dangerous aspect, pool develops the muscles to such an e.xtent that it is worth the risk involved. Inter-mural pool is our Presi- dent ' s idea of a healthy and all-together-desirable form of athletics. In spite of the opposing faction headed by Wilson and Runt Trotter, the pro-pool ticket swept the field and their candidates were elected to the Council, and the pool reform was unanimously passed as soon as the body convened. Ardent exponents of the game are War-Horse Burtner, elected president of the Council, E. S. Mattingly, our mocking-bird and secretary of the Council, Holmes Rolston, gambler and treasurer of the Council. Practice is being held with unfailing regularity, beginning at nine A. M. and continuing without intermission for meals until eleven P. M. Comparatively few injuries have been reported so far. Several men have sustained broken pocket-books and busted class-work. There are also a number of cases of French-pool Fever and Billiard Billiousness as well as one case of Cueitus. Although we sustained a defeat in our first inter-collegiate match, which was played with the Staunton School for the Blind, we feel that wonderful results have been obtained for the short time we have had to adopt ourselves to this thrilling form of dare-devil athletics. The first match was lost on account of Rushton ' s meeting with Miss Cue in his long run. Paffe Three HiniJred Thirty-fotir Water sports have become very popular since recent legislation b the Federal Government. However, a large number of Old-Timers still refuse to take to the stuff except on Saturday nights. To stimulate interest in tank activities it has been suggested that Lydell Peck get a few of his Mack Sennet Comedy friends to come over and decorate the pool v ' ith themselves, if this could be done we are sure that prac- tically all of the students would come out, except probably Ike Kincheloe and one or two others who detest these screen classics. Among the promising candidates, Waters is prominent in the pool, while Drye doesn ' t go well in the water. Dew is very much like Waters and we expect a good showing from him. This sport should soon be predominating since water is the only thing we are al- lowed the free use of or even the reasonable-priced use of. The utilization of it brings forth from some of us who find it hard to use as a sole support, we note, however, that even the swimmers kick on it. es, the pool is a beautiful place to put aqua pura in and sk - juice is probably all right to swim in. Water is a wondrous blessing. Good for washing necks and ears. Just the thing for making rivers And surrounding ships and piers, Nice to park beneath the bridges. Swell for making rain and ink. Water is a wondrous blessing. But it makes a helluva drink. J. P. McEvT.Y.

Had he even attempted doing so the well-known wolf would have parked at his door-step and remained there until the pitfyful Irish family perished at the ever-knawing fangs of cruel hunger. During these dark ages we were forced to gaze upon sunny scenes in which it always seemed to be raining, broken reels were as numerous as Freshmen in the poolroom. Now that other prices and, incidentally, the New Theatre, have gone up we are in- vited to view for twenty cents the most gorgeous line of features that the collegiate mind can conceive of. Mack Sennet and his scant-clad throng are regular isitors; we have seen Phylliss Haver in Practically Nothing and Marie Prevost in .Even Less. Let the competition be unrefined. THE PI ALPHA NU SHOW From the dramatic point of view the outstanding success of the season was pre- sented by the goats of Pi Alpha Nu in their annual show, which was as usual a trag- edy from the spectator ' s viewpoint. No amount of writing would express fittingly our opinion of this production, Shimmy Not had to be seen to be appreciated. The piece enjoyed a continuous run from three to six, the length of the run was chiefly due to the shortage of cops in Lexington and the failure of the mayor to learn of the nature of the exhibition. The blinding Tedd -bear chorus, mosth ' bare, was undoubtedly a work of art.

An Apnlngy Friends, your humble critic is abashed. No sooner had this series of write-ups started than our local magnates learned of them and realizing the inestimatable value of the same in the advertising line began to shower us with histonic offerings in such numbers and of such character that we are unable to comment upon them. There are several reasons which prompt us in curtailing these accounts; for instance a clean sheet of writing-paper is of far more value than several of the exhibitions. Then, too. the writer admits that his profane vocabular is too limited to permit him to express him- self with any degree of success on one or two o f the plays presented. Nor are we sure that the national right of free speech would shield us if our opinions went to press. For these reasons bear with us in our failure to comment, but in regard to the show you didn ' t see always console ourself with our assurance that ou didn ' t miss any- thing.

Oll routrk And lo. it came to pass that in the first year of the Great Drought during the reign of King Leftie. a neu and strange people did come to the Sacred City of the Dead and did enter the ancient temples of the tribe of Washleeites and did acclaim themselves men of Washlee, de- manding all respect and honor due to other men of this noble tribe. Now among the Whaslee- ites were certain men of the family of Sophomorites who fain would trv these strange intrud- ers as to their strength, courage and knowledge before admitting them to the honors and good works of the Washleeites. And it came to pass that these Sophomorites of the tribe of Wash- leeites did go out into the highways and b vays and did collect and assemble these strange peo- ple who had come to be known as the Fresh- ites. When the assembly was made complete the Sophomorites did cause the Freshites to bind their eyes with linen so that sight was impossible for them, and then did cause the strange people to cry their names in a loud Aoice and to perform manv and foolish pranks; and the Sophomores did strike the boards of large size and dimension; the tumult being loud and long, spectators did gather from far and wide to witness the magnificent sacrifice. But behold I there came from the East a 2;reat prophet from the temple of Y; and he did raise his arm high above his head and thus spake he, Cease this butcher . hie ye lowly swine of Sophomorites to your beds and sleep and fast for your unpardon- able sins. Who are ye that ye should beat upon and betittle the worthy Freshites. ' ' One stroke more and lo, I shall call upon my giants. Paxton and Gibbons to reduce vou to shreads. Begone, I say. And thus It came to pass that with bended head and broken spirit the Sophomorites did retire and retreat, never again to show their faces as a familv, for thev were soreK afraid. .And never again were the Freshites humil- iated, but rather did thev rule the tribe from that day. And thus it was that Prophet Shuhz did win the hearts of his fellow- tribesmen and followers the Freshites.

His hair was smooth and his clothes were neat. He didn ' t look so wise. She set her cap for Wisey, I hasten to relate. She vamped him so completely He made a mid-night date. He took her in a corner nook. Darkness reigned supreme. They sat quite close together there. He told- her of a dream. He said before he ' d met her He ' d seen a vision fair. Of a marvelous beautiful maiden. Of a girl with glossy hair. And in his dream he ' d worshipped her, Gi en liomage sweet. He ' d lingered on her every word, And courted at her feet.

Then Spokes- man Gibbons arose and in a trembling voice announced: We demand to know why Speaker-of-the-house Pat Collins has not addressed us today, and refuse to be dis- missed without a kindly word of guidance from his fluent tongue. Dr. Smith re- lieved the anxious throng with the following announcement: Mr. Collins has just had his tonsils removed and by strapping him down the doctors were able to prevent him from talking to you today. A special all-day mass-meeting will be held when he recovers in order t !lt he may administer his pent-up sentiments to you with full force. The men left the hall with disappointment written on their faces, but a beam of hope could be seen in ever - eye, for they knew that soon the mighty orator would passify them with his silver tongue. p.t toAivy, ger .t «Tn.tn.
