jtlartin l)larlHl llurtu~ AN APPRECIATION

H E service which the la te President Wilson rendered to \ Vashi ngton

a nd Lee was of so varied a nd va lua ble a cha racter tha t it wou ld be

well -ni gh impossible to say that any one achievement of his did most

to advance the ca use and the work of thi s university. From his own

utterances, it is believed that he, in his discriminating judgment ,

thought the choosin g and sec uring of M artin Parks Burks for one

of the chairs of the L aw School was second to no other official

Had Preside~ ! Wilson deemed the materia l advantage th e one chiefly to be co n­

sidered in the selec ti on of a law professor for his university, then from that viewpoint

a lone would the selection of Mr. Burks have been a most excellent one. The sple:1did

legal equipment of Mr. Burks as a practi tioner an d hi s successes before the courts; his

clarifying and able trea tise ana lyzing and ar;plying the Virginia laws respecting the

S epara te Estates of M arried Women-a subjec t which, when he wrote upon it. was

regarded by courts and lawyers a like as being in a chaotic a nd confused state; his

numerous illuminating disc ussions of technical lega l questions through the Virginia Lan1 R egister, and the highly satisfactory character of his work as offici a l reporter of the

S tate's highest court- were assuring proofs of his qualification as a law teacher. These,

coupl ed with a ripe scholarshi p, the love of the student for study, and the capac ity to

forcefu lly announce and impart his findings, were so fully recognized by and known to

his breth ren a t the bar as to leave no doubt that in the new field his work would be

speedily productive of splendid and lasting returns. This opinion as to wha t he would

accomplish was un an imous-he a lone being distrustful. That the opinion so widely

e~ t er t ained was justified, is d aily attested by the fact that no young a ttorneys take higher

rank upon coming to the bar than do those bea ring the impress of his training. His d eep

interest in his st udents is very perwnal. too; and no:J.e of his boys, should there be a

fa ilure of one to creditably pa~s the State Bar examin ation, would feel a keener disap­

poin tmen t than would "Daddy" Burks,-as he is a ffectiona tely called. No doubt this

loya lty to and pride in his "boys" is accountable large ly fo r the love and esteem of these

young men for him.

B ut there is furth er reason for their affec tion a nd respect, a nd further cause for

gratification over his selection , aside from that of Mr. Burks' legal a ttainments. Youn g

men, more than almost any class, esteem fair play, an d they apprecia te it as much in a

professor as they do in their fell ows in a thletic cont es ts. The men a t W ashington and L ee

know that Mr. Burks "plays fair": if he se ts them hard tasks, they know he d oes the

sa me for himself ; he may requ ire faithful work as the price of his es tee m- but he re-

quires no more than he gives ; he teaches a scrupulous regard for the ethics amongst

lawyers-and then practices good fellowship and frank straightforwardness with his class; he declares the necessity for good citizenship- and himself renders true allegiance

and does full duty to his State and University; when he speaks of morality and right

living, his students bear in mind his own earnest and constant Christianity. He hates pre­

tension-and lives simply. To young men whose minds and hearts are receiving their last impressions before

en tering into the complex and coldly practical world of business, such teachings and such

an example are of incalculable value in the making and strengthening of character. This is something too fine to be measured by the materialist's standards. The results are felt

not only in the life of the individual who receives such teaching and daily observes such

example; these benefits will be extended and transmitted by the individual student to

those of his fellow-m en amongst whom he will spend his life and do his work. W e must consider these far-reaching and potential influences in conce1vmg any proper "apprecia­

tion" of the work being done by this student, lawyer, teacher, and Christian gentleman.

'([i)r mm-ta~hington anb 1£rr (!llni\lrr£lit!' ~lllllllli 3lncorpor,ltrtl

BY WILLIAM TAYLOR THOM, Secretary.

T a meeting of the \Vashington and Lee a lumni in Washington City

held in the office of Prof. W. R. Vance, on February 5, 1909, the

writer suggested tha t the a lumni should try to raise a large endow­

ment for their a lma mater. A committee was appointed at that

meeti r.g to formul ate a plan of ac tion.

After several meetings and much consultat ion wi th some of

our a lumni in Congress, the co mmittee adopted a plan which, d etails

omitted, included a vigorous appea l by letter to the a lumni a t large for the formation of a

corpora te a lumni body to ra ise a nd hold a la rge alumni endowment fund for the benefit

of the U niversity. This pl a n was rejec ted upon being reported to a meeting of the

W ashington City Alumni Assoc ia tion held on M ay 4, 191 0, and another committ ee,

consisting of M essrs. V ance, Poind.exter, Thorn, C hamberl ain, and Owen- two members

of the loca l assoc ia tion and three others- w as appointed to draw up articl es of incorpora­

tion for a Society of the A lumni , to raise, hold, and di5pose of fund s for the best interests

of the University. A second resolution provided for a committee to go to L exington and

sec ure the cooperation of the General Alumni Association; thi s committee, howeve r, was

not appointed.

M eanwhile time was pressing. The great body of the a lumni, whose affair this

was, had not been reac hed. Some sanction from them was most important before at­

temp ting anything a t Lexington. H ence it seemed that something more than adopting

reso lutions was needed. Through the effi cient help of Senator C hamberl ai n, the a lumni

in Congress were readily induced to undertake as individuals to communicate with their

fellow a lumni as individuals.

This appea l to the alumni was made possible by fund s furnished in part by some of

our alumni in Congress- Senators Robert L. Owen, C eo. E. C hambe rlain a nd Miles

Poindexter, and Congressmen James H ay, ] ames L. Slayden, H. D. F lood, and in pari

by other a lumni, M essrs. j ohn P. W alker, ]. W. Bagley, W alter E. H arris , and

Thomas Nelson P age. Between five and six hundred alumni signed and sent in the

return postal ca rd which reads: "I hereby express myself as in favor of some form of

incorporation of the a lumni of W ashington and L ee in order to give organization and

permanence to a persistent effo rt to raise a la rge endowment for the Universi ty." In

addition, many letters accompa nied the cards, expressing the gratification of the writers

that an organi zed movement w as about to be set on foot and their d esire to aid in its

success ful issue. So many replies upon such short notice showed t~~· the a lumni were

II

ready to resfond cordially to any reason:1bl e appeal m3.de to them. With this encour­

agemen t, Sena tor Chamberlain, judge John A. Lacy, and the writer journeyed down to Lexington together, where they were joined by Prof. \V. R. Vance two days later.

At the University we found Mr. Frank A. Nelson who, as president of the

General Alumni Association, had been actively in touch with many of the old students. On Monday and Tuesday of Commencemeut week prolonged conferences were held, in

which active part was taken by Senator Chamberlain. ] udge Lacy. Frank A. N elso:J, W . G. M cDowell, Greenlee Letcher, Professor Staples (by request), E. W. Wilson,

and others. Resolutions were formulated which were presented by W. T. Thorn to the general meeting of the a lumni on Tuesday a fternoon, ju::e 14th, and were adopted

after corsiderab le discussion and earnest speeches in advocacy by Senator Chamberlain, Professor Vance, Mr. Bennet N. Bell. Ex-Gov. W. A. MacCorkle of West Virginia,

and othe1s. It will be r.oted in passing that the affair was distinctly of the alumni and by the alumni. the trustees and the faculty taking no active part in the proceedings, except Prof. A . P. Staples, whose legal advice was asked and kindly given.

These resolutions provided for the preparation of a charter by Messrs. G. D.

Letcher, W . S. Hopkins, and Frank Moore as a committee. These gentlemen promptly

executed their trust on June 22nd; Judge S. H. Letcher gave his ce~tificate on June 23rd; and the State Corporation Commission of Virginia granted the charter on June 29, 1910.

The C harter is as follows:

The first aim of the officers serving under this cha rter is to get fro m the alumni

sufficient " Working Fund" to enab le them to carry on an ac tive ca mpaign to obtain a

la rge endowment for the University. This will be a work of time, of opportunity, and

o f persistent effort. This worki ng fund should be, a nd will be, given with the under­

standing that conditions may necessitate spending the last dollar of it before successful

returns begin to show themselves. On the other hand, it may come to pass that large

donations will enable the worki ng fund itself to be devoted to some particul ar educational

use or to be trusted into the genera l E ndowment Fund. N o one ca n, a t this time, foresee

the event. T he essentia l thing for the a lumni to do is to p lace this workin g fund in the

hands of the trustees under this cha rter ; the work can then go forward.

The next aim of the Incorpora ted A lumni will be two-fold: to obtain funds, first,

in o rder to increase both the persor. nel and the pay o f the prese:1t teaching sta ff o f the

Universi ty; and, second, to rea lize in prac tica l form more fully than is now possible the

14

educ a tional legacy left to the sc hoo l by General Robert E. Lee. That legacy is in his

letter of J anuary 8. 1869. to the Trustees, and in the report of even date tra nsmitted by

that letter and drawn up under hi s inspira tion by a committee of the F ac uity. General

L ee's letter, a model of prec ise sta tement, is herein given in full :

G ENTLEMEN:

W AsH INGTON CoLLEGE,

L EXINGTON, VA., 8 th J anuary, 1869.

I transmit herewith the repo rt on the extension of the Scien tific aPd P ractica l D e­

pa rtments of the Co llege, prepared in acco rd ance with the reso lution passed a t the last

meeting of the Board of Trustees.

The main points of the pl an presented a re as b llows:

I st. The establishment of new D epartments of Agriculture, of Com me1ce, and of

Applied C hemi stry;

2 d. A more complete d evelopment of the EPgineering Schools now in operation,

so tha t to the courses in C ivil and Minin g E ngineering shall be added a distinct course

in M ec hanical Engi neering, to embrace, besides M achinery, the most importanl branches

of Prac tical M echa nics;

3d. The opening of a farm an d workshops in connec tion with the in;;truction in

Agriculture, Industria l M ec hani cs, and Practic a l C hemistry.

The n~w departments proposed (Agriculture, C ommerce and Applied C hemistry)

a re believed to be needed in the present condition of the country. Agriculture is, at

present, the most importan t interest of the Southern people and must contipu e so for years

to come. No effort, therefore, should be spa red to advance it , a nd to extend to it a ll the

advantages which science has bestowed upon manufac tures. An agric ultura l school.

where scientific principles and processes may be applied and illustrated, wi ll be of effi cieat

service. S imilar schools have been fo und useful elsewhere, and the absence of any such in

our State furnishes an addi tiona l argument for its organi za tion. The es tab lishment of a

school of Applied C hemistry is to carry out the plan of the Board of Trustees, adopted

some time since. In recommendin g a Commercial School, it is proposed, not merely to

give ir.struction in book-keeping and the form s and d etails of business, but to teach the

principles of Commercial Economy, Trade, and M ercantile Law. Such a <chool may,

with great a dvantage, be add ed to the sc hools of the College, as many students may by

its means prepare themse lves for business pursuits whi le obtai nin g such scientific a!ld

literary culture in the other sc hools as time and opportunity may a llow.

The additiona l co urse in E ngineering is necessary , in ord er to re lieve the other

courses, and to sec ure more complete instruction in machi!!ery and the other branches of

prac tical mechanics. It is pro;::osed to establish a workshop in this d epartm <. nt, where

students may become practically acquain ted with the use of tools aPd the working of

machinery, and thus add practical to theoretical knowl ed ge.

The grea t object of the w hole p la n is to provide the fac ilities required by the large

class of our young men, who, looking to an ea rly entrance into the practical pursuits of

15

life, need a more direct training to this end than the usua l literary courses. T he proposed

departments will a lso d erive grea t ad vantage from the literary schools of the College, the

influence of which in the cultivation and enl argement of the mind is felt beyond their im­

mediate limits.

The establishment of such departments would, I believe, add grea tly to the im­

portance a nd usefulness of the College.

R espectfully submitted,

To the Finance Committee of the Board of Trustees.

R. E. L EE,

President W ashinglon College.

It wou ld be pleasant to pause for comment upon thi s letter and to bring out more

fu lly its far-reac hing compass. When it was written, there was no reg ular instruction

given ei ther in agriculture or in practical mechanics in any school in the State of Virginia .

Genera l Lee's p lan, therefore, broke new educ ational ground, and had he lived to carry

out his designs, W ashington and L ee, ere this, would have become easily the first educa­

tio:!a l institution in the South, if not in the whole country.

Genera l Lee beheld wi th the wide vision of the seer the needs of his people, and

he was laying plans to meet those needs. H e was planning for the present alumni and for

their sons' so:ts. His aim has been attained in part, but only in part. H e was in educa­

tion as in war, essenti ally an engineer. It seems appropria te, therefore, th at the alumni

should address themselves first of all to carrying out that part of hi s plan most representa­

tive of himse lf- the development of the great profession of the engineer. T his should

come through the en largement of the School of Engineering founded by him. This aim

the T rustees of the A lumni Corporation propose to themselves and to their fell ow a lumni,

whose help they ask in its accomplishment. The rest of G enera l Lee's p lan can be ta ken up later.

The Trustees of the Incorpora ted A lumni have in mind many other projects which

recognize the right and the ob li gation of W ashin gton and L ee to the name and fame of

George W ashington as well as of Robert E. Lee. The reali za tion of these projects would

be of grea t va lue to the Universi ty and their discussion might be of considerable interest

at this time, but furth er opportunity for such di5cussion will doubtless arise. In the mean­

time, let us urge our readers, whether undergradu ates or alumni, to begin at once to do

what they can , by word or by deed, for the further upbuilding of W ashington and Lee;

for the upbuilding of W ashington and Lee mea ns holding high and ca rrying fo=ward

the standards of mora ls, of character, of manhood bPqueathed as our school' s heritage by

G eorge Washington and Robert E . Lee.

3J u n for i.a\u <!tla£S£S jf)i£Storr OR a time beyond which the "memory of man runneth not to the

contrary" it has been the custom to extol the vir tues and accomplish­

men ts of th e Junior Law C la>s by its historia n in order, primarily.

that their fellow-students might apprecia te more specifica lly the great­

ness of the class. But is not our purpose here to add to the infor­

mation of our contemporaries concerning . the illustrious character of

this assembl y of sprouting genuises, for "res ipsa loquitur"; so here

fo llows but a meager record of a few of the noteworthy achievements a nd numerous virtues

of the junior Lawyers, tha t poster ity may have in their "possession" a memorandum i,

wri tin g of the glories of their a ncestors, and that the great deeds of thi s class be not

effaced by time.

September 16, 19 1 0, was the momentous date upon w hich assembled th is, the

largest law class in the history of the institution. From "rural retreats" and clamoring

"burgs" we assembled here to sit at the feet of "Daddy" and "joe" and "Sunny" a!ld

"J~k." and to listen to these sages expound the law.

At once it became arparent that leadership in every field of co llege activity would

be the keynote of this class. The other classes recognized thi s by choosing "Charley"

Burks for Presiden t of the student body to fill the unexpected vacancy. In a thletics, no

other than "Bob" Thach ~~as M anage r for the follower s of the "pigskin"; whil e our

gridiron hero, C lovis "M oomaw, was made Captain of next year's sq uad; and "little"

Hobson, the math "shark, " and "Goosie" D av is proved valuable assets to the team. In

basket-ball days Captain H annis marshaled the force s of the White and B lue, whi le

Ruffner Campbell was a promising substitute. A nd, fro m all appearances, the class will

·a lso_be well represented on the crac k baseball team this spring.

There has arisen a great complaint a mong the literary society men, to-wit: that the

Junior Lawyers have a corner on the meda ls which are annually given to the best orators

and debaters, Kirby, ]. A. McDonald, and " Crogie" having located three with only

fo ur "in nubibus." Now as to the intellectual a ttainments of these young paragons and

• their propensity for imbibing w isd om from the fountains of jurisprudence, it lies within the

35

jurisdiction of our professors to answer. However, we are certain that the "Canons of

Descent" are subordinate only to the Ten Commandments; and we are convinced that a thorough knowledge of a "Bill of Exceptions" in "Daddy" Burks' Not~s is a '"co:1dition precedent" to our sa lvation on "Criminal Procedure" examination; and also we are

thoroughly satisfied that "Livery of Seisin" is the proper answer and explanation of every question that has arisen in "Real Property" in times past, or shall arise "in futuro;" in fact that "Livery of Seisin" is the "open sesame" to the law of "Things Real," and to

"Sunny Jim's" heart. The leadership of the class extends even to social affairs, the student body having

selected a Junior Lawyer to occupy the highest position in that phase of University life­President of the Final Ball. We will r.ot attempt the gigantic task of describing the social graces and accomplishments of this class in relation to the "fair sex." It is sufficient

to add in this connection that some of our members are trying to forestall "Daddy" Burks in "Pleading," and one has already been successful in winning "his first case."

Scarcely had we become absorbed in the mysteries of the law, when the typhoid

epidemic broke out and we returned home to our parents, and-sweethearts. Soon the

month of pleasure and diversion had slipped by, and we came back to face the ordeal of examinations. Two propositions were instilled into our minds by this time; first, that it is impossible to pa~s "Contracts" without knowing the "Statute of Frauds" and, second, "Torts" without getting the "Non-Assignable Duties of a Master" verbatim. So, certain

of our members substituted the said legal requisites for their prayers, and said them care­

fully every night before going to bed. But some of us neglected to say our prayers. To this may be attributed a small "remainder" of our number to next year's class.

Limited time and space force us to close this inadequate record of the illustrious Junior Law Class of 191 I . You will learn more of us in the future when this class goes out to swell the ranks of the "legal lights" and to occupy the supreme benches of our

commonwealths, for its influence will revolutionize the judicial world, and there will then be

"No doubtful balance of rights and wrongs,

Nor weary lawyers with endless tongues."

HE space a llotted to the class historian has proved altogether too inade­

quate to narra te the multifarious achievements of 1912 during their

sojourn of three years at Washington and L ee. All tha t could be

written would require volumes, but it becomes the p leasant duty of

the histori an to go over the a lmost inexhaustible mass of material that

compri ses the record of the Juniors, and to make a skeleton or outline

history, as it were, by selec ting the most importa nt events in the three-

yea r life of the class. This history may best be trea ted, therefore, in three divisions, co m­

prising the Freshman, the Sophomore, and the Junior years.

In September, 19 08, there arrived in Lexin gton this remarkably able group of

youn g men, who were about to en ter upon an important period in their lives. After the

class fight, the Sophomores were as quiet a nd harmless as Sampson shorn of his strength,

and the re mainder of the year was a period of peace, happiness, and progress in the pursuit

of the wisdom of the sages.

The grand and glorious beginning as Freshmen was continued in the Sophomore year,

and the C lass of 191 3 were made to bow down and worship their masters, dreading the

C lass of 1912 more tha n they feared the ex-captain of police, the mighty mogul of N ew­

co mb, or any other of the would-be dictators of L exington. The crowning event of this

yea r was the Sophomore Cotillion , which was pronounced by those who saw it one of

the best dances ever given at W ashington a nd Lee.

But no one except a Junior can rea lize the feeling of relief of the Junior year from

the Freshman and Sophomore rivalry, a nd of dignity as an upper-classman. This year

marks the supremacy of 1912 a lon g a thletic lines. The foo tba ll championship was ours,

for we were without a rival capable of drawing out our real strength. In the race for

the basket-ball championship, we so far outclassed our opponents that the remaining games

of the series were never played. The class is a lso holding its own in other bra nches of

college ac tivi ties. W e are making preparations for the Junior Prom to be given a t E aster,

looking confidently forward to making it the most brilliant success of our a lways success­

ful efforts.

!STORIES," says Francis Bacon, "make men wise. " This is the end

which histori ans genera lly have in view; but the chief objec t of the

class historian see ms to be to impress upon the mind of the reader

the grea t fact that his particular class is undoubtedly the best that

has ever been enroll ed on the college register. Whether or not the

C lass of 1913 is the best ever registered a t W ashington and Lee, we

we wi ll leave to our fair-minded fellow-students to determine, and

whether found "guilty" or "not guilty" it must be admitted by a ll that the C lass of 1913

has had a most rema rkable and success ful career.

W e struck town in the fall of 1909, a wild-eyed. but determined aggrega tion of

young men. W e took the war path immediately upon our arr ival and a ft er being formally

"introduced" to the "dear" Sophs. we assembled one a fternoon on Wilson Field for the

great A nnual Sophomore-Freshma n Push Ball Rush. The victory was won by the

C lass of 191 3; score 40 to I 2.

In the fa ll of 19 10 we returned to the "city" of L exington with the same determin a­

tion we had had the year previous, a nd under the leadership of one Frederick Willi am

M e W a ne we began our Sop homore year; and in passing, mention might be made of

the fact that we distinguished ourselves right at the beginning by elimina ting hazing in the

form of street ba ttles and resorted to a more di gnifi ed method.

Late in September came the great Ball Rush. W e again assembled on W ilson field

a nd had chosen Turbyfi ll to lead us to victory; this he did, and for the first time si nce the

C lass of 1908 won the class fi ghts of 1904 and I 905 has a class equalled their record of two successive victories. 19 I 3 again proved their claim to supremacy in Push Ball

contests by repeating their touchdown of last yea r. The band softly p layed to the tune of

40 to 0 as the sic k a nd wounded men were carried from the field.

As to class honors, we captured them by the score. In our Freshman year we won

the cup offered to the class that made the greatest number of points in the indoor meet.

Our class furnished some of the best materia l that made up \Vashington and Lee's remark-

61

able baseball team of 191 0. The class football team had claim equal to any to the cham­pionship, judging from comparative scores, for the season of 191 0.

And, finally, the Class of 191 3 had one more jewel placed in its crown of marvelous successes, the occasion of which was the Sophomore Cotillion given on February 20th. The dance was largely attended and said to be one of the most successful affairs given by any class at Washington and Lee.

Surely this record is nothing less than remarkable, and we predict a great future for such a class.

HE C lass of 1914 is in a marked way different from the many aggre­

ga tions of "F reshies" that annually a rrive to inflict themselves on an

unsuspec ting student body. These previous classes, by dint of severe

labor, exaspera tion and cruel discomfiture often imposed by the hear t­

less Sophomores, fin a lly succeeded in cutting for themselves a worthy

niche in the ha ll of fa me.

But for the tribe of '14 there has been no need of all this pains­

taking endeavor. From the very day when we first backed into L exington an d ca ught a

glimpse of the field of ac tion, it was evident tha t our success as an integral part of thi s

institution was assured. History has been made for us, not by us, perhaps as the result

of mere force of numbers ( since we chance to be the largest Freshman C lass th at has yet

arrived), but more likely because of the strong personnel of the class a nd our u :~ yielding

determination to stan d by each other an d not "budge an inch."

The fir st admission of our strength came ea rly, when the wily Sopl:s had the

number of our con tes ta nts in the class fight reduced from the usua l forty to thirty­

five. W eakened by this, ard alw hampered by our inexperience in this particular brand of

fi gh ting, the natural result followed, although a post mortem of the fight showed that the

number of our "killed and injured" was in the minority.

Likewise in fo otball, basket-ball a nd in other succeeding stru ggles with those who

opposed us in class rivalry, while we were not so fortunat e as to win every time, we upheld

our reputat ion for fair fighting and proved ourselves good losers.

As time has worn on in its ceaseless journey we have been gaining in strength and

wisdom, gradually casting off the peculiar traces of "verdancy" so characte ristic of the

lowly first-year man. And we have dwelt in peace with the rest, being harried and

worried by only one thorn in our sides- the untiring labors of the "Vigil ance Committee,"

an organization perpetrated by the Sophs for the suppression of all of 1914 who have

been so unwise as to overstep the bounds of propriety.

Fortune has a ttended us so far, and may the goddess never forsake us, but guide us

on to future success and insure for us a glorious d estiny, the deserving reward of merit.

HoLMER \V. KI NG is a Pennsylvanian by birth and preference. No one has ever been able to discover what the W stands for. but it's a part of the name, and "what's in a name?" H olmer was born in Scottdale in 1888, and has lived in his native village ever since. H e entered the Engineering S chool with 191 I, and this year is President of the Class. H e is alsoJ Vice-President of the Chemical Society and of the Pennsylvania Club. He will engage in the coal mining industry in the capacity of consulting engineer.

\ VILLIAM TRENT N EEL came from Dublin, Va . H e for­merly lived in M orristow n, Tenn., but the ca ll o f the O ld D ominion could not be withstood. N ee! presides over the mee tin gs of the S outhwest V irginia C lub with di gnity and grace, and in the role of toastmaster at their annual banquet he per formed in great style, it is said. H e also instructs the future enginee rs in graphics. Being an up-to-date man, he, of r ourse, chose an up- to-date voca tion, and will be a hydro­elec tri c enginee r.

H r has a lso succeeded in throwing the hammer far enough to makr a record or two. H e will take up engineering work, a nd be found delivering the good; in the same old •cliable way as on the foo tball field.

ALBERT GARLA ND ALDER, <(• K 'l', hail s from Bru nswick, Md. Early in life , he acquired a fondness for the military a nd a ttended S t. Johns and th e Virginia Poly technic Insti­tute.

P ORf tRtO AuGUSTO B oNET, ]R., is a native of Bayamo Cuba. H e soon came into civili zation, however, and graduated from Blight College, Philadelp!tia. He also a ttended Conway Hall and the University of Pennsylvania, before ent erin g Washington and L ee in the fall of 1910. After annexing hi s B. S., he intends to ret urn to hi s native land and to go into engineering work.

GEORGE BoYD, fl X . George has been \Vashington and Lee's standby in basket-ball for the past four years, and was captain of the team in 1910, and chosen All -South Atlantic forward in 1911. He is also the mainstay of the Track T earn with the weights; but George is more than an athlete . He belongs to the Custis Lee Engineering Society, and af ter graduating in Mining Engineering will follow that as hi s profession.

C LARENCE R EED CARTER, ~ 'P E, of Houston, T exas, a ttended P eacock Military College in San Antonio, and hav­ing heard of W ashington and L ee, he came up to L exington and entered upon his collegiate lif e in the autumn of the year 1906. "Nick" accumulated a small fo rtune recently , and we hear it rumored tha t he has set sail upon the matrimonial sea. It is useless to wish him good luck. H e w ill be a contracting engineer.

72

HEI'RY \ VoRSit .-\M DEw, jR., K ~. was bor n in Lynchburg, Va., September 2 1. 1891. H e finished the High S chool, and ent er<d \Vashington and Lee in 1908, and , whil e the facu lty wasn't lookin g, has grabbed his de gree af ter just th r<e years' work. H enry has p layed on th e Scrub F oo tball and on Class Basket-Ball and Baseba ll T eams, b.sides being a sta r on the Track. In 1909-10 he was Chairman of the Class A thl etic Committ ee. H e is a member of II .\ ~ . The far W est has proven too a ttrac tive to be res isted, and next ) e ar H enry will study Mining Engineer ing at the Colorado S chool of Mines.

GEORGE NELSON DuLI N, H X , was born in L eesburg, Ya., Ma rc h 24. 1887 . H e a ttended R andolph-Macon College two years, and in th e fa ll of 1908 entered \Vashington and L ee. He is a membe r of the \ Vashi ngton Literary Society. George is a lso an athlete, and was on the Albe rt Sidney second crew, 1910, and has been a member of the Football Squad for three years. His hard, consistent work won him the mono­gram in 19 10. \ Ve know that in hi s chosen work of Civil E ngineering he will be the sa me old steady a nd reliable Dulin.

jAMES ALEXA NDER H ANNA, of A sbury , \ V. Ya ., attended the Morgantown Preparatory School be fore entering \Vash ­ington and L ee in 1909. Along wi th the work of carrying a double course in E ngi neering, "jim" has found time to attend the mee tings of the Chemical Society, in which he holds membership. Upon receiving his Bachelor of S cience degree, he wi ll take up Mining Engineering as hi s profess ion.

OscAR HE NRY HERRI NG was born in South Carolina , but the capital city had it> allractions, and he changed his resi­dence. After allending the Eastern High S chool, he came to Washington and Lee in September, 1908. Oscar won the F reshman Tenni s Tournament in 1909, and also the mono­gram in baseball. But the engmee ring life is stre nuous and allows time for Iiiii~ else bu t work . He will ge l his B. S. wi thout a doubt.

Th;s is the sole and onl y inhabi tant of li lli e Delaware amonl' our collegiate ranks. F or FREDERICK SHORT j OHNSON, one October day in the laller pari of the eighties, made his appearance in Millsboro, and has lived there ever since . H e received all tha i the High S chool had to o ff er, which was just enough Ia pass college entrance 1equiremenls. "F . S." will ge l his Bachel or of Science degree in Civil E nginee rin g with 19 11. and will go home and supervi se a survey of Celawa1e for enlargement purposes.

) AMES GRANVILLE j OH NSTON claims Mural, Va., as his home. but we failed to discover any such place as thi s on the map. However , we wi ll take his word for it that such a placP. exists. "]. G ." ear ly showed a liking for thin gs military, and a llended !he Fishburne Military S choo l. Upon out grow ing th is martial proclivity, he came lo Washington and L ee. H e is a member of the Chemical Society, and will grad uate in Mining Engineering with the C lass of 1911.

H e prepared for \ Vashi ngton and Lee at the C umberland High School, and in 1907 the Balt imore and Ohio Flyer brough t him to Lexington on half fare. " A. H." has been A ssistant M anager of the Varsity Basket- Ball T eam and Manager 191 I Basket-Ball. H e has not yet dec ided upon hi s voca tion in li fe.

GEORGE BERRY L EONARD came from the unheard of village of Trappe, Md., and, after receivi ng all tha t the loca l Hig\ School had to o ff er, he decided to become an enginee rin g student a t \Vash ington and L ee. H e is a member of the Mary­land C lub and a Harry L ee. W e will not be a bit surprised if we hea r some day of G eorge's being general manage r of the American Locomotive \Vorks.

H ere is a man fro m S tafford Cour t H ouse, Va. , and he admits it. Su rely there must be some truth left in this old .vorld . HE NRY Mo NCURE is that man.

IN MEMORIAM

PROFESSOR ALEXANDER LOCKHART NELSON

WILLIAM RANDOLPH BLEDSOE

JAMES ALBERT MOELICK

WILLIAM CUNNINGHAM SCOTT

So thou art dead-The soul's queer longing hath A t last di vined that dark, uncertai n path Whence Life proceeds upon its vi rgin way. It seems so strange that as the ruddy morn, E ngendered in the hidden bowels of gloom, Bursts clear and casts its murky folds away. So Life is born, Within the Mother's womb, to bloom, A nd wither as the insufficient day. The way of death Is as mysterious as the first-drawn breath : E'en as I bend now o'er your consecrated clay, I wonder, art thou dead?

RoB ERT PAu L AsHLEY.

SENATORIAL ETCHINGS

E are accustomed to regard with awe and veneration that mighty body

which sits in solemn conclave and dubs itsel f and is dubbed by all

the Executive Committee of the student body. W e have come to feel that this worshipped group of men represents all that is learned

and brainy and big and little among us. W e watch its movements

with thoughtful eyes and obey its decrees with thoughtless hast e. For in it we see government and law and order; we see impersonated the

greatness and glory of ourselves. But seldom- if ever-do we remember that among us is a tribunal which is great

from no reflected cause, is powerful from no delegated authority, is portentous from no

borrowed solemnity. We do not realize that in our midst there moves and works and has

its being a body of men so eminent, so august, so authoritative, and so powerful as to far

outweigh us in our own affairs, and the reason for this obscurity, for this our mental

adumbration, for this our optical delusion, for this our tactual senselessness, is not far to seek. It lies in the very nature and the very conduct of the body itself.

For this body moves behind a screen-a screen composed of the ostensible mightiness

of this, our collegiate commonwealth. It evolves the ideas and the visible governmental authorities carry them out.

But it is only as a body that this most notable convocation of the notables is obscure.

The Dramalis Personae are known to all. It is only when one becomes the Honorable, the Member of the Senate of Washington and Lee, that one becomes nebulous and "halo-istic" to the Campus communers.

The Senate! August name! August body! August members! Have you seen them- those august members-as they sedately pace our halls and corridors, our walks

and driveways-gray-haired old men with the years behind them and the dignity of present

glory upon them? Of course you have. And you have seen them proudly filling all the

offices and using all the wise signs and knowing all the future events beforehand and wondered why things were thus. Wonder no longer. Examine brows deep-wrinkled

with "the pale cast of thought" and over all a deep brooding as of experience linked with

fancy, and be convinced that matters are as they should be. Yes, they are all old men

and they all show experience. But they take age so differently. Let us examine them closely-some of them. Let us pick them to pieces, let us dissect them, let us, if need be, throw the muck-rake into their midst and stir them gently. Would we could show them

sitting; but useless wish. "The most noble place of holding the Senate" has never been discovered. And so we hasten from glittering generalities to individua l particularities.

The man who founded the Smithsonian Institution was the son of a noble. Just what kinship the noble President of the Senate bears to that noble man's son it is impossible to

say; but he must be more or less closely related, for the President is noble in over one sense and his last name smacks suspiciously of the aforementioned institution.

107

Like all aristocra ts, he is at the top, but he didn ' t get there aristocratically- not he.

Not on your Sunday trousers. H e is an exemplification of the creed "brains get there."

H e's there all right; has "got" more titular distinctions than a baby could cry a t (all noblemen have honors of this kind, by the way) and possesses more "brains" than the law

a llows. With it all he's not rapid- he doesn't run after honors and he doesn't particularly

notice exactly how he shoulders them once they have been thrust upon him. For he is a ponderous man and a weighty man and a roomy man and thi ngs fit him

sn ugly, albeit grandly. When Senator Noble-man lists to speak, attention is paid him. H e lists seldom; but he lists mightily and forcibly and his words come with the thud and

jar and effect of pile-driver blows-slowly, surely, each one getting a little farther than before.

H e ·is slightly gray, this Senatorial jupiter, gray from working out a tariff for the. benefit of the Athletic Association- I have been told; but about it I can't say positively.

My own theory is that the aforementioned quality was brought to life by too close a study of twentieth century literature as found in the collegiate periodicals of our glorious republic.

But there you are. H e's a Senator for you-a Senator who is more than a Senator,

a Senator who has become a Senator by reversa l of the law of gravity. Ever upward has been his course,- President of his Senior Class, twice editor of the Ring-Tum Phi. Associate Professor of English, through more gradations still, and yet again some more until you find him, ponderous, weighty, learned, awesome, unapproachable, the mighties t

being in our mightiest body- President of the Senate. And now imagine, if your brains can take in the majestic scene, a meeting of this

selfsame Senate. Imagine the togated throng with the high and mighty Noble-man at their head as they sit and discuss matters of grave and earnest import. And in your mind's eye

keep watch for the Senior Senator from New Y ark (always a Senior, yet never a Senior! Can you puzzle it out?).

The Senior Senator from New York is worth watching, let me tell you, for the

Senior Senator from New Y ark is there with the goods-and has always been there. There wasn't any rising about him. He has risen from the beginning, and so far shows no signs of setting.

The Senior Senator from N ew York is one of the most vivacious, sprightly, talka­

tive, graceful and charming creatures you will meet in a month of Tuesdays. H e has the most magnificently equipped vocabulary, the most striking arrangement of ideas and the

most copious outpouring of sentences one could wish for. He knows art better than Abbey, can talk drama with William Winter; has pointers on transportation and railroad regula­

tions which Commerce I never heard of: and sees more clearly how Lexington politics can be purified than ever did ex-C hief Lindsay. H e is the next thing to omnipresent, and

has been acc used of being the most active non-performer in our collegiate world. But that perhaps is far-fetched.

Let it be known, howe\·er, that this remarkable man can edit a CALYX, can conduct an orchestra, can lead a band, can train a glee club-and has done all four. H e rides

horseback for amusement; talks for pleasure-never for publication; makes impromptu speeches to sandwich together his multifa rious ac tivities; and yet, withal. takes life easily and smoothly and without jar.

108

For he's a smooth proposition- this Senator. H e' ll argue for hours a nd connnce

you that you know nothing whatever about the subj ec t in hand and th at he knows a great

dea l more than you had thou ght possible. With suavity and gravity, but nevertheless with

gestures and animation, does he argue, holding always in some mysterious manner or other

eterna l possession of the floor.

And so we leave him- this Senior Senator from New York- this affable, polite,

easy-running, actively-eruptive ( and a ll the other conflicting characteris tics you can thi :~ k

of) gentleman who so pleasantly ornaments a n illustrious body a nd so worthily represents

his native S tate among us. Nine rahs for him and then more! The mantle of D epew has

(allen; but not upon a T ammanite. The folds gracefully drape the curved shoulders of

this supreme example of passive-ac tivity, this versa til e geniu s, this Senator, this S enior

Sena tor from New York .

But long indeed would it take to go over the Senate Rolls and disc uss wholly upon

the characteristics of each individual concerned. They are a ll great men, wise men a nd

the las t is noble no less than the first.

There is the creator of the University Band who with grave deportment looks sub­

limely unconscious of having done a thing so trivial. H e is the first effec t of sunrise­

or the first result, just as you please- a nd hails from our fair commonwealth 's occ idental

namesake. The Senate has now been pleased with the light of his countenance fo r two

years a nd begins to be sorely afraid tha t next year it will find itself in da rkness.

Senator C--. who leads the local contingent (by the way, this tells nothin g, as the

locals have more than one Senator C--) is a prominent figure. Conservative estima tes

have placed his height at nine feet six and a half, but that, perhaps, falls short of the

mark. He is broad-shouldered also, no sapling proportions about him. It takes extra

territory in no mere international law sense for him to operate in. And he operates.

Mark you, he gets there just as certainly and surely and precisely and actually as does a

C halmers- Detroit at full speed with the chauffeur well on the job and the wheels true

to the axles. Elbow room is made for him- elbow room tha t G enera l Burgoyne of Sa ra­

toga fame would have given pounds sterling to have enjoyed. His broadness a nd his

height give him commanding influence-which he uses to good advantage whether a t a

d ance or at a meeting of the Senate for the purpose of di scussing athl etic relations with

our friends (?) over the mount a ins; for the Senate has ambitions that our di stinguished

contemporary make a name for himself and for them by putting his glorious physique to

effec tual use upon the gridiron. So far the gentleman has shown more predilection for

the dance hall and the "calico" element of our exclusive world.

All Senators have aspirations-aspirations of a ll kinds. The fact proves senatorial

humanity. But every once in a while there bobs up a Senator who has more aspirations

tha n a ny six other Senators added up and multiplied together. So it is not strange tha t

right here in this year of nineteen-hundred-eleven there exists such a Sena tor.

H e has aspired and aspired until the wonder is that he has not expired in the

process. Probably he would have done so had not the aspira tions generally termin ated

so happily. He started out modestly enough-a way a ll grea t men have- by getti ng a

notion that he was the proper and fit person to preside over the meetings of the Graham­

Lee Literary Society. A spiring, like Paracelsus, he a ttained, and h3.ving attained,

109

like P aracelsus agai n, discovered he wasn't so very far af ter a ll. C onsequently once more

he aspired- took a deep respira tion and aspired mightily. Like an re roplane he rose, but, unlike tha t instrument, fail ed to come down. The

monthly needed managing and he managed it. H e still had some breath in his body, however, and he resolved to aspire again, determined in the bottom of his ambitious soul

to be in two places at one and the same time. And he did it. The weekly needed editin g ; he edited it. So managing with one hand and editing with the other, he became ambidextrous; and wi th ambidexterity , there came acute double vision. Not the medical idea of double vision, mind you, but simply the ability to see two ways a t once; and he

saw well. A year rolled by. Once more did this senatorial genius get his perspiring aspira­

tory system in working order. One breath made him manager of the newspaper which we read so eagerly every T uesday night ; another landed him into the executive chair,

which has sufficed for the time being to check his upward gaze and inward longing. But he's not through yet- not he. He has too much of Alexander in him for any

unambitious passivity. Then, too, he' s named a ft er the young Pretender-Charles

E dward, you remember-and that spurs him on. The young Pretender was forever

aspiring and died so doin g; but the more he aspired the less he got. Our Sena tor is

demonstrating the utter uselessness of historica l precedent. H e aspires-and a tta ins. It follows, therefore, that he is not through yet. H e has another year in the Senate-and

before tha t yea r is out he'll be a perspiring aspirant for somebody 's expiring honors. H e'll get them and ea t them and digest them, while the CA LYX calmly but surely pre­

pares to make him an a llotment of three extra pages upon which to enroll his distinctions

aspired for and won. But we must stop. D avid Graham Phillips wrote the "Treason of the Senate. "

W here to-day is C harles E dward Russell ? W e take warning and for our own sa fety urge you to look up a ll the other Sena tors in that carefully prepared table which has been Epread elsewhere for your delectation.

~ ~ligiJt ~ributr to a @rrat anb @oob jlrlan We have here at \Vashington and Lee a splendid record of growth and achieve­

ment, an unequalled body of customs and traditions, and the promise of a future that shall

be useful, that shall be conspicuous, that shall be transcendent. But in the realization of

this greatness of our Alma Mater, let us not be unmindful of those who have given their

lives to the broadening of her influence and the fulfillment of her mission; for she reckons

among her most cherished and priceless memories the labors of these great souls. Of this

band of noble men who have given their lifelong efforts to the upbuilding of Washington

and Lee we know, for the records stand in testimony. But the past rolls into the

present; the cycle of noble and unselfish deeds, and of deeds well done, seems to pause

for the moment; we catch a glimpse in this brief space of those workers who are endeavor­

ing earnestly for the welfare of the institution.

Of these is Henry Donald Campbell, than whom no institution had more faithful

laborer, no body of men truer friend. The ready sympathy, the cheerful encouragement,

the gracious charity of this kindliest of men, are diffused in full measure upon a student

body that appreciates and respects and loves. Possessed of a pleasant and charming dis­

position, he inspires now, as always, the confidence of all. No one ever came to him for

assistance or advice in vain; sounder or wiser counsel than that received from "Old

Harry" were impossible. In the daily intercourse of teaching and of friendliness, he is

inculcating the principles of loyalty, patriotism, and scholastic integrity; and his example

Upon your list her trembling lips hath laid,

Aye! Many feasts have halted o'er your brink,

To lift the frenzied toast lo Christian swine;

To love and ha te, to marriage feast and crime;

Your last of sin ners marks yon bony hand ,

Lifting its final toast lo endless Time.

jfoot[l.lfl ~C.lSOil, 1910

Football in the South At lantic sec tion did

not provoke the same degree of enthusiasm as

in recent years, due, no doubt, to the hostile

agitation caused by the great number of cas u'l l­

ties in I 909, and this lack of int erest was to a

considerable extent manifested at \Vashington

a nd Lee. T he squad was sma ller than usual.

both numerica lly and physica lly, and did not

receive tha t whole-souled and unquestioning

support tha t is essenti a l to a victorious team and

success ful season.

M any inevita ble difficulties, however, con­

tributed to the defeats which were met by the

eleven. Captain W addill. Simms, and Blac k­

burn were the only monogram men who were

able to play again, but injuries kept the first two

out of the ga me nea rly a ll the season. Black­

burn w as shifted, and of course had to learn the

requi rements of p lay in a new position. H e

was, however, steady and stron g all season and

played a consistent and dependable game. Al­

though the system of coac hing was new, the

sa lient fea tures of this system have now become

established a t W ashington and L ee and it is to

be gladly noted that there will be no change in 191 I, for the three years of changing have not been without certain disadvantages. As in

former years, the greatest difficulty with which the team had to contend was the apparent lack of condition of the men throughout the season.

Never was Coach Pollard able to use the same line-up and at no time did he have an organized and definite backfield. Constant experimenting and changing were made necessary by the fre­quent injuries which were suffered by the men on the squad.

The season as a whole was not without its bright spots. In the actual results of the season, we can well say that two games terminated very

satisfactorily to us. After winning the two opening games from Roanoke College and Hampden-Sidney with but a meager display of form, and after having a crippled team, com­

posed almost entirely of Freshman material, badly defeated by Georgetown, the team dis­

played real fighting spirit and grit in the contest against Davidson on Wilson Field. By a mag­

nificent ending, we won fourteen to twelve. With only two minutes to play and with the score twelve to eleven against us, Miller kicked

164

from placement a t the thirty-five yard line and

changed the result from seeming defeat to vic­

tory. The other bright spot was the game with

Nor th Carolina in Norfolk. Although this was

r:o t an exhibition of great football on our part ,

nevertheles; it was a display of nerve and grit

se ldom seen and we can feel justly proud of the

team's perform ance. With four regulars d:s­

abled and the cap tai n out of the game, we de­

feat ed our Tar H eel rivals for the first tim e

during the four years of football relationship,

thus makin g one vic tory for each, the other two

games having been ties.

The fin al result of the annu a l game with

V. P. I. was a bitter disappointment to the

several hundred of the student body who had

journeyed to Roanoke and had seen their team

get the better of the Blacksburg boys to within

three or four minutes of the close of the first two

quarters. Here again lack of physical stamina

was the insurmountable handicap. The Tech's

team was strong and fast and seemed in just

as good condition a t the end of the game as

during the early part. The Thanksgiving de­

feat by the University of Alabama was a nother

bitter disappointment. Although we outweighed

our opponents, we did not eq ua l them in speed

or fi ght. The Alabama team put forth its best

165

efforts of the season to wi n from Dr. Pollard,

who formerly coached there, and W ashington

a:1d L ee was defeated three to nothing.

A fter such a pessimistic discussion of the past year's work, it might give us a little more cheer

to think of the future, and to give expression to

hopes of better things. Last year for the first time

in its existence, Wilson Field was put in a really

playable condition by the sodding commenced in

June by Dr. Pollard. The improvement was

wonderful. a nd undoubtedly the field will be in

even better shape next year. A nd as to the per­

sonnel of the tea m next year, we can say a

few words. C lovis Moomaw, guard on the

19 I 0 team, has been elected captain, and of

those wearing the monogram, Kinnear, Rogers,

Hobson, Miller, H arma n, O'Quin, \Vaddill

a nd Burk will be out on Wilson Field. agail!

striving to put the White a nd Blue at its rightful

place in the South A tlantic football ranking.

The coaching system wi ll be the same as last

yea r a nd both a lumni a nd undergraduates will

put forth more effort s than ever before to lurn

out a winning team, fo r it is realized that the

time has come when something must be done.

The outcome of the 191 0 baseba ll season did much to raise Washington and Lee in inter­collegiate athletic circles. Under the able lead­ership of Coach Kennoy and Captain Stras, the White and Blue developed a machine of ac­curacy, strength, and grit, and were the un­doubted winners of the championship in this section.

The opening victory over Holy C ross, won by superior hitting and fielding, was an auspi­cious beginning, for this was one of the strongest teams in the East last year. During the Swarth­more games, Moran was hurt and the team was diso rganized and displayed nothing like its later form. The only other defea t in Lexington was a 2 to 3 battle with South Carolina, and we won from Rutgers, William and M ary, Mary-

174

land "Aggies," North Carolina, George town

(Ky.), Central University of K en tucky, and

V. P. I., in two shut-o uts.

On the Southern trip, the I S-inning tie ga me,

0 to 0, with A. & M. of North Carolina, was

one of the greatest pitchers' battles ever seen on

a Southern College diamond , and M oran set a

new record by striking out twenty-eight men.

The long trip told heavily on the team in the

remaining games, and while we broke even with

Trinity and the University of Georgi a , we lost

two out of three to Alabama.

The tea m as a whol e was probably the best

that ever represented Washington and L ee on the

diamond. The batting was heavy, five men

hitting over . 320 and the general average bei :: g

nearly .250. The fi eldin g, both in the infield

and outfield, was excellen t and the pitching staff

superior to anything in the South. Both Moran

and Efird received offers to go into the first

ranks of baseball on account of their brilliant

work. Sweaters with the monogram were given

to the members of the team in recognition of

the success which they had atta ined, and to

Coach William K ennoy for fa ithful ar. d effi ­

cien t servic es.

The 191 I season has started with the same

promise of success. All but three of the I 9 1 0

175

monogram men are pl aying again and these

vacancies are we ll filled. The opening ga me

wi th Roanoke College was ta ken by a footba ll

score and in a lwo-game series with P enn. State.

w hich admittedly has one of the best college

ni nes in the country, Washington a nd Lee took

one of the contests in as pretty a n exhibition of

baseba ll as was ever seen here. By Dr. Pol ·

lard"s efforts, we are in possession of a we ll­

drained grass diamond which wi ll permit many

games th at would be otherwise impossible on

account of the weather conditions. N ew bleac h­

ers, back-stop, an d fences have been con­

structed, and covered players ' benches a lon g the

most modern lines. With these imp rovements

to Wi lson Field, and with such a beginning, the

season should brin g forth even greater d~velop­ments than did the season of 19 I 0.

The 191 0-191 I schedule was the longest

and most difficult ever attempted by a Wash­ington and Lee basket-ball team, and the record of eleven games won against eight lost was most

creditable, taking into consideration that thirteen

out of the nineteen contests scheduled were played away from Lexington.

The vacation trip could hardly be called a

part of the regular schedule, as only three men on the tea m that made this trip became regul ar Varsity men; nevertheless, an even break was

secured with the Charlotte Y. M. C. A. and the Asheville Athletics. The northern trip was wonderfully successful, the White and Blue winning from Virginia, Maryland "Aggies,"

Franklin and Marshall, Mount St. Mary's, and Frederick Athletic Club; the two games lost

were to Swarthmore and the Navy, two of the very strongest teams in the East last year.

In Lexington, W ashington and Lee won

handily from Ro3.noke Co ll ege, St. John' s Col­lege, M aryland "Aggies," and the University

of Tennessee, but lost to Virginia and V. P. I.

180

in hotly contested battles by the failure to get

into game until the second half. when it was

too late to overcome the leads; and furth ermore,

by the inability to throw fouls in these two games

with any degree of accuracy and consistency.

The W as hington Post picked the White a nd

Blue team as having tied for the championship

of the South Atlantic section with Virginia and

Georgetown, eliminating V. P. I. on account of

its failure to meet enough representative teams

in this sec tion. But W ashington and Lee con­

ceded that V. P. I. had a better team and that

the championship honors of 191 1 should go to

the Tech team. The P os t selected an All­

South Atlantic quint and G eorge Boyd, for

four years a Washington and Lee forw ard, was

given a position on this team.

As a fitting close to a successful season, the

Combined Musica l Clubs gave a musica le on

Friday evening, M arch I Oth, in honor of the

team's work, and white sweaters with blue

monograms were presented to each regular and

to the coach, Dr. Poll ard.

IHc.·~~~-t:;ifj~'-ll' l HE remarkable development of track athletics tha t has taken place .- -- -, 'I since 19 08, continued at a rapid rate during the spring of 191 0. ll T ~ ~ I A lthough the weather and the unforeseen cancella tion by our op-

ponents prevented the two meets scheduled in Lexington , yet there

I ~ , ~ I was a greater interest manifested in the track team on the part of IL .. ! ' tiS . the student body than ever before. The meet at Wake Forest,

N orth Carolina, where we won from W ake Forest College, 58 to 48,

and the meet at C hapel Hill in which we were defeated by the University of North Carolina, 60 to 4 4, were success ful from every standpoint. Washington and Lee made

a splendid showing in both, C lark, Glass, A nderton, Satterfield, Larrick, R obbins, Stone

and Walter being the chief point winners.

From the viewpoint of the betterment of our records which, on account of the youth of track athletics here, are not what they should be, the year was splendidly productive.

Sa tterfield lowered both the 120-yard and 2 20-yard hurdles, Walter raised the hammer

throw, C lark lengthened the broad juwp, and A nderton lowered both the mile and half-mile. This makes seven records broken, and if anywhere near a proportionate ad­vance continues, it will not be long before our track records will compare favorably with

the other institutions o f W ashington and Lee's rank throu ghout the country. But only

when we have a new and well-eq uipped gymnasi um, and a cinder track on the athletic

fiel d, together wi th the services of a pro fess iona l trainer a nd coach, can we hope to take our

rightful place in intercollegia te trac k athletics; a~d with prophetic eye, we look into

the future, and say tha t the time is not fa r distant when these aforementioned requisites of a success ful track tea m will be ours.

T is the duty of every man to care for his physical well-being, and in

order that he may do the best work, of which he is capable, during his college career, he must take some form of regular and systematic

exercise. The old saying, "A sound mind in a sound body," is the

goal toward which all should strive. The forms of physical exercise

are m~nifold. But every man may not be able to play football, nor

baseball, nor basket-ball, neither run fleetly nor handle the weights, nor pull a good oar; nevertheless, it is within the power of all to take gymnastic training,

provided always there is the equipment for such work. Interest in gymnasium shows

clearly that a man cares for his physical development and is not attracted by love of sport or desire for college honors. The gymnasium is, therefore, the assembling place for

the large majority of students who are anxious for physical training, but who would be

an encumbrance upon coach and team in the aforementioned branches of athletics. During the past year, enthusiasm for gymnasium work has not abated, as attested by

the first-class performance of the team in the annual exhibition, March 18th, and

the high standard set by former teams was lived up to fully. The diligent training by Instructors Breidenbach and Larrick was appreciated by the large number of men who

took advantage of this. Dr. Pollard introduced expert physical examinations into the

work and prescribed certain systems of exercise, suited to individual needs, which wen•

productive of much good. In brief, the gymnasium season was wonderfully successful when building and equipment are considered; we had an excellent team, and many

individuals who took advantage of the work in gymnastics received lasting benefits.

Cre w Season, 191 0- The Race of the H arr}} Lees and Albert Sidne}}s Unfortu­nately Prevented. The Annual Regatta Has Become Firm/}} Established as a Feature of Final W eeq.

Far back in 18 7 4, the Harry Lees and Albert Sidneys raced for the first time; i11

clumsy rowboats, the crews slowly pulled their tedious way over the course; but now the

swiftly gliding shells of the newest type cover the mile in a little over four minutes. This

time compares favorably with that of any four-oared crews, and if intercollegiate racing

were inaugurated, the white and blue crew could hold its own with all comers.

The gay scene on the island, the great excitement, the race, and the presentation of

the Pinckney C up to the winning crew are among the most pleasant events of Finals. But

h st year we had to forego these pleasures. For days previous to Tuesday, the time always

set for the race, the rain poured, and on that day Old North River was a raging torrent.

Postponement brought no relief. consequently the 191 0 Harry Lee Crew could not contend

with the 191 0 Albert Sidney Crew for supremacy.

The work on the river was begun long since, and the training is proceeding earnestly

a nd determinately. May no unforeseen nor unfortunate circumstances arise to prevent

the 191 I regatta. We understand that there is a movement on foot to have the two crews,

combined as one in an eight-oared shell, race the crew of the Virginia Boat Club in Rich­

mond after the race here. Some years ago the winning crew raced annually the four-oared

crew of the Virginia Boat C lub at Richmond, and in four such contests three were won

by our crews. It is sincerely hoped that the present plans will materialize, for it is the

fi rst step toward intercollegiate racing. Then, and then only, will our wishes and hopes for the crews at W ashington and Lee be realized.

COACH POL L ARD

't:1Jr ~\urntp:::~r\lrntu gnnual 1\r\li~ion of t1)r jfootball R ulr~

EDITORIAL NoTE.-The C ALYX here publishes for the first time, with interpola­tions, the changes in the football rules as adopted by the Rules Committee of the Associa­tion of C allege Professors which convened in Washington last f anuary, of which committee our on•n Dr. Stevens was chairman. The athletic world has awaited the conclusions of this commiltee n•ith breathless interes t, for, composed of the foremost figures in the ranks of American education, it has been universally felt that its decisions would constitute the final and ultimate revision (downward) of the rules of the great colle­gia te game.

This committee has held frequent executive sessions throughout the winter and the members have supplemented their broad practical knowledge of the game with a deep analytical study of its theory and evolution. The changes which they propose to enforce will unquestionably obviate the frightful inhumanity of the game, making of it a perfectly proper and lady-like pastime as well as adding to it the undreamed advantage of promot­ing scholarship, industry, gentlemanly conduct, forbearance, and other assorted virtues.

ELIGIBILITY OF PLAYERS.- The different co llegiate associations or conferences

shall in the main pass upon the eligibility of the players among the colleges concerned, but

there a re certain fundamental rules applicable to all. The following are prohibited from

playing on any college team:

( a) First-year men, commonly designated "Freshmen."

( b) Any who, according to the recognized standard of grading, have made two

successive grades below 90 in one year in any one study, or who have made grades below

90 in two or more studies during one scholastic term.

(c) All men in the professional schools except in such as are professional alone.

(This rule was brought in in order to exclude any possible taint of "'professionalism" in a

game so purely collegiate.)

LENGTH OF GAM E.- The length of the game shall be, as heretofore, sixty minutes,

but divided into but two periods of twenty minutes each, with a twenty-minute intermission,

during which time the home team shall serve light refreshments to the visiting team, enter­

taining them in a friendly and hospitable manner. In case of darkness before the com­

pletion of the ga me the home team shall escort the visiting team safely to their quarters.

BEGINNING OF GAME.- In lieu of the undignified a nd somewhat juvenile custom

of tossing a coin to decide the choice of goal or kick-off a t the beginning of the game, the

following procedure is substituted: T he two tea ms, headed by their captains, shall line

up in the center of the field or before the stands, with a distance of ten yards between.

The referee shall take a posi tion at the head of the two lines with a substitute of each team

in attendance. A box shall have been provided in which shall have been placed twenty-

202

two slips on which are written questions relating to some subj ect or subj ects of collegiate

study, as prepared by a specia l commi ttee composed of the referee and a member ol the

faculty from each of the contestin g schoo ls. This box sha ll be placed in the hands of

one of the a ttendin g substitutes and the other sha ll draw from it one slip at a time, passi ng

it to the referee, who shall put the questions a lternately to the members of the two teams in

line of succession, beginnin g with the captains a t the head. The re feree shall grad e eac h

a nswer and the team obtaining the hi ghest average sha ll have the choice of kicking off or

of defending goa l.

(This pla n, which met with a n enthusiastic reception before the convention , was

vigorously urged by the rul es committee on the grounds tha t not only would it promote

scholarship among those endea voring to make their respec tive tea ms, but would necessit a te

a coll ege graduate for a referee and one who had been a thorough and ea rnest student, thus

elimina ting those rude and unl ettered persons who have sometimes in the past been called

upon to officiate. )

P osiTION ON LI NE OF ScRIMMAGE.-The players sha ll ta ke their positions in the

same order as formerly. The players of the side defending its goa l sha ll stand erec t, with

folded arms as if defi ant. The members of the team in possession of the ball with the

exception of the snapper-bac k sha ll a lso sta nd erec t-at a ttention, awa iting the signal of

their captains. (It was thought tha t the fin e military bea ring which may thu s be de­

veloped during the tense moment before the passing of the ball will have an in spiring effec t

upon both pl ayers and spec ta tors, as well as doing away with that horrid custom of the

two lines charging into one another so roughly.)

How BALL IS P uT INTO PLAY.- Following eac h down af ter the two teams have

assum ed their respec tive positions. the quarter-back of the team carrying the ball shall

approac h his captain- where the two are distinct-and sha ll ascertain from him the

course of the next play, or shall acq uaint him with it , as the case may be. The quarter­

bac k shall then notify the player selected to carry the ball, whereupon the la tter sha ll turn

a nd, addressing the cap tain with a sa lute. shall say in a clear, loud voice (but not too loud­

penalty, five yards. referee), "Captain, shall I p lay through, or around, so and so?" (indi­

ca ting the course of the play). to which the captain shall reply. "Pray do." The snapper·

bac k shall then pass the ball to the quarter-back, who, in plain view of all, sha ll turn

and with a ceremonious bow hand it to the player call ed upon.

(Jt was urged for this cha nge tha t it would obviate any unsportsmanlike advantage

which might be taken of the defending team such as obtained under the former despicable

custom of secret signa ls a nd would give such team a full and fair opportunity to rea lly

detec t and oppose the play.)

M ETH OD OF OPPOSITION.-The tea m defending its goa l may not cross its op­

ponent's line of scrimmage, nor may the player carrying the ball. nor his interference which

will have gathered about him hurriedly be interfered with by any of the defending team.

until he has crossed its line of scrimmage with evident intent towards its goa l. Only then

may the ball be considered in play and shall be so considered until some one of the defend­

ing team shall have touched the runner, saying, "Tag, you' re it," to the satisfaction of the

referee, whereupon the ball shall be consid ered dead an d a new down begun . J n the

203

case of a forward pass the ball sha ll not be considered to be in play until the player who is to receive it sha ll have advanced five steps towards his opponent's goal line.

OBSTRUCTION OF 0PPONENTS.- No player of either side while in the act of ca tching, kicking or running with the ball shall be tackled, thrown or tripped, pushed, pulled, shouldered, straight-a rmed, intimidated, rattled, biffed, banged, or otherwise handled in a rough or unseemly manner.

NECESSARY GAIN ON DowNs.-lf in three consecutive downs a team, having con­stantly had the ball in its possession, shall not have advanced the ball twenty-five yards, it sha ll go to the opponents on the spot of the fourth down.

CONDUCT OF PLAYERS.- There shall be no striking with the fist, nor elbowing, kicking, kneeing, heeling, biting, gouging, nor scratching, laying on of hands with hostile intent, no running into or over, no piling up, nor other unnecessary and unbecoming rough­ness under penalty of expulsion from the game and liability to arrest on a charge of assault and battery to be preferred by the referee.

(b) There shall be no unsportsmanlike conduct on the part of the players. This

shall include the use of violent, abusive or profane language to opponents or officials as well as any unwonted display of temper, such as striking the ground angrily with the foot, querulous comment, etc. Penalt:y-The player committing such an infraction of the rules shall be required by the referee to publicly apologize for the offense to the person offended, or else to suffer suspension from the rest of the game, together with a loss of ten yards to his team.

EQUIPMENT OF PLAYERS.-The regulation uniform to be worn by all teams under the jurisdiction of the several collegiate associations shall consist of a neat sweater vest of some solid color chosen to distinguish the team, canvas trouserettes without padding except in the hips, as the player may desire, and without cane strips; heavy-ribbed stockings of a color to match the sweater, and canvas shoes, rubber sole, and without cleats of any kind or projecting irons or nails. Each player shall be required to wear collar and tie­preferably of a uniform color. Wristlets, armlets, anklets, etc., displaying the college colors are permissible, though somewhat in bad form. All extra trappings formerly made necessary by the brutal character of the game, such as head harness, nose guards, shoulder pads, knee pads, shin guards, etc., are prohibited.

(This new departure on the part of the committee in attempting to regulate the mode of dress of the players has its justification in the committee's general desire to elevate the moral and resthetic tone of the gridiron as well as to reduce the hazard of the game. As Mr. Spaulding, in his brilliant treatise upon football, so aptly put it, "The football player in the eyes of the spectators at most games is a hero. He seems to possess in their minds attributes that are different from the ordinary run of men. Is it not well then that this man who is regarded as a hero should appear before those who admire him in the best possible manner? H e can only do so if he has on a uniform that is suitable for the game he is playi ng.")

PROGRESS AND INCORPORATION

This is the time when all progre~sive rr:ovements surely and certainly show a tendency

in the direc tion of centraliza tion. In our national life, the trend is toward centralization

through i :~crease of federa l power. The great comm erc ia l organizations of this day have

been made possible and tave ellpanded to phenomeP.al proportions through concentration of

interests and ac tivities in m::>dern industria lism. As centralization has become intimately

associa ted with cur na tiona l progress, so incorporation, a form of centralization, is the

keynote of progress in individual companies and institutions. In fact, this centralization of

efforts an d interests l:c.s become a l m::>~t synonymous with increase in useful ness and power and

in fluence. Further more, the remarkable success of cert ain organizations which are cor­

porate bodies has been due sol ely to combination of resources and concentration of energies.

The great possibilities of centra li za tion a re cl ea rly seen; the glamor of wonderful ac hieve­

ments tha t have resulted from just thi s, fascinated even the institutions of learning and

spread to historic old W ashington and L ee.

The spiri t of incorporation first se ttled upon the alumni. Wherefore should not

greater thin gs be accomplished by them as a corporate body if in this should be concentra­

tion of plans a nd effort s ? The idea of a great corporation composed of the a lumni of

W ashington ar:d Lee was most appealing. The centralized corporation was needed: fo r

the effort s and energies of each individua l should form a part of the greater effort of the

whole bodv; homoger.eity of p lar s and ac tion should replace the heterogeneity of

the mere association of members. Therefore a closer organization of the al umni was

effected, a charter of incorporation was received, a nd the W ashington and Lee A lumni , In­

corporated, ca me into existence. It is not expec ted tha t incorporation will induce grea ter

loyalty nor inspire greater love i:J the a lu!Tl ~ i for their Alma M ater. W e have a body of

alumni who are devoted to the welfare of the University. It is true that there has been

no unity of ac tion. With the new organiza tion , however , thi s wi ll be changed; a new

order of things has cor:1e upo:J us which w ill TT~ean a unified and combined effort toward

one speci fi c end a t a time. This is a tremendous step toward the support of the institution

by her a lu mni: and if progress had taken no other form than this one incorporation, the

year wou ld have been wor.derfu lly productive of good.

But the spirit of incorporatio, had not hovered above the Old V ars ity for just one

fl eeting moment. Origin atin g with the a lumni. the idea seized the undergraduates and

the benefi ts to be derived from incorpora tion of cer tain strictly college ac tivities were seen.

The Dramatic C lub was the fi rs t moved to ac tion ; a charter was granted by the State

Corpora tion Com mi ssion of Virgi nia to the Dramatic C lub of Washington a nd L ee, and

a new era in histrionic ac tivities was entered upon. Two productions \\ ere put on in

Lexington during the year, the la tter of which was "Brow n of H arvard ." The lac k of an

adeq ua te thea ter was a serious handicap and the tra r.s form ation of the gymnasium into a

playhouse requi red untold and p~odigi ou s work. But in spite of the fact of this being the

firs t a ttempt a t anythi ng so nearly professional by undergraduates here, the production was

eminently successful. When rec a lling the new and experimental fea tures. the trip of the

club was an even grea ter success. The press notices of the perfor mances in the ci ties visi ted

by the players were most compli mentary, both to thei r appearance a nd behavior off the stage

as on the stage. \X!ith this fa \ orable and enthusias tic beginning. next year promises, with the

experience a lready gained. more bri lliant triumphs for the D ra matic C lub. The play tha t

214

will be produced will be written by an undergradua te or by an al umnu s, a nd the production

will be \Vashington ard L ee's in the t1 ues t and broadest sense.

Another student ac ti vity tha t has gained th rough centralization is the musica l clubs.

The organization of these i:~to the Combined Musica l C luSs was effec ted during the spri ng

of 191 0. It consists of the Mandolin and Guitar C lu b, Glee Clu S. Orches tra, and Band,

ar. d is a strongly unified body in which cooperation a nd concen tra ti on of the severa l

branches toward one and the same end is admirably reali zed. The Combined Musica l

C luhs, therefore, may be consid e red as a corporate body hav ing a n integra l existence , but

composed of severa l distinct par ts which are strongly a nd securely linked toge ther into one

central whole, and thus the proce~s of concer. tra tion of ac tivities continues.

But progress during the year has not been alone of incorporation. As we look

around, we see the unmistakab le signs of steady advancement. Yonder work is being

pushed forward for the completi on of the University Commons. Over on \Vilson Field

m1.ny changes have been wrought: bleac hers have been built, a quarter-mile trac k la id off.

a~cl the whole field sodded and refenced; with these materia l improvem~nt s, we have

now a really up-to-date a thletic field. A ll in a ll, the yea r just past has brought about

solid advances toward an institution of grea ter effi ciency, broader usefulness, wider scope.

W e have now a grea t co ll ege surrounded by three unexcelled professi o:~ a l schoo ls of Com­

merce. of Engineering, and of L aw. \Ve realize our presen t greatness, but • ot content,

w e are ever lookin g forw a rd to tha t Greater University.

PHI BETA KAPPA

For several years, the question of sec uring a chapter of Phi B eta K appa here had

been discussed, but no d efi nite ac tion was taken until M arc h, 1909. Correspondence was

opened with the sec ret a ry of the United C hapters and the sec uring of the necessa ry number

of endorsements was begun. The application was approved by the Phi B eta K appa Sen­

ate, March 4, 1910, ar. d grankd by the National Co unci l a t its trienni a l meeti:~g in N ew

Y ark City last September. The charter members of this new chapter, which will be known

as the Gamma of Virgir.ia, are the trustee and faculty members of the Society who re­

ceived the key elsewhere. A lim;ted number of the most distin gui shed a lumni have been

invited to membership, an d fro m the graduating class cer tain who have a tta ined high rank

in schol arship will be asked to become members. A s TH E CALYX goes to press. prepara­

tions are being made for the insta ll a tion of the chap ter , and the cha rter wi ll be delivered by

Dr. Edwin A. Grosvenor, of A mherst Coll ege, Presid ent of the United Chapters of

Phi Beta Kappa.

This oldest Greek L etter Society was found ed at William a nd Mary C a llege , D e­

cember 5, 1776. Its activities were ea rly transferred to N ew England, however, an d

branches were established a t Y a le an d a t H arvard. Tl:e Society now has chapters in

more than seventy of America' s forem:Js t co lleges and universiti es. In this growth and ex­

par.sion, the process of granti ng char ters has not been made easy, but i:Jcreasing ly difficult.

The application is mad e by the Phi Beta K appa men connec ted with the faculty of the

institution, who, in case of a favo rable outcome, are the charter members. Each app lica­

tion must have the endorsement of five ex:sting chap ters, being accompanied by a s t a t eme:~t

of the strength and star.ding of the institution, an d pass tl:e scrutiny of the Senate before it

is ready for presentation to the council. Ther. the affirmative vote of a majority of a ll the

chapters is necessary. B eing based on scholarship, the Society has for its objec t the pro­

motion of friendship among American scholars and coll ege graduates. As one of the most

215

distinguished members of Phi Beta Kappa, Dr. ] . G. Schurman, has fittingly said, " Ours

is a kinship, in part of attainment, but mainly of ideal and spirit. It is a custom among

savages to establish brotherhood by giving them the tribal blood to drink. Members of

Phi Beta Kappa have been made brethren by tasting the Pierian fountains and taking

thence a thirst which no meaner draughts can allay .... Phi Beta Kappa, I sometimes think,

is the storied invisible church. It transcends the division of sects. It is both unitarian and

tnmtarian. It is unitarian, for it embraces all who are knights of the Holy Spirit, and it is

trinitarian, for it lives by faith in the substantial and indivisible reality of the true, the good,

and the beautiful." As in the past, many of our most illustrious scholars and public men

have been members of the Society, so the present generation is proving true to high ideals,

and leaders in education, in letters, and in public life are members of Phi Beta Kappa.

Each succeeding generation will have_its list of equally distinguished members, who, guiding

their lives by her noble philosophy, shall prove an inspiration to all who may be privileged

to wear the golden key.

We are proud of the honor conferred upon our Alma Mater in the granting of her

application, and rejoice in this signal recognition of her scholastic thoroughness and

strength. Such a stimulous to higher intellectual efforts will bring greater glory to her

a lready enviable record.

THE ADVENT OF FRATERNITY HOUSES Many changes ha' e been taking place at Washington and Lee during the past fe~

years; changes indicative of the material growth and expansion of the Old Varsity, but

also characteristic and persistent and inevitable changes that affect the customs, ideas, and

mode of living of the student body. We are in a transitional process; we are advancing

toward that Greater University of which we have heard lately so much and which will

mean increased equipm ent, increased facilities and increased usefulness and influence. As

among these changes, we recognize the entrance of the fraternity house into our midst.

Four or five years ago the fraternity house system, which is established and is maintained

in a great many of our colleges and universities with varying degrees of success, was practi­

cally extraneous ar.d untried here; it exists to-day as an important element in the under­

graduate life of the institution. But with its development arises the problem of regulation

a nd adjustment; and the wise and judicious and felicitous solution of this problem deter­

mines the nature of the results consequent to having fraternity houses at Washington and

Lee. Let regulation and adjustment be disregarded, and evils are certain to follow;

the step will be backward rather than, as it should be, a progressive movement in the life

of the University. Earnest consideration and careful oversight in the application and es­

tablishment of this system as a feature of our collegiate life are absolutely necessary, if it

shall be significant of progress. The inauguration of the system has already taken place;

its ultimate success depends upon the sound and proper conduct and management of the

individual houses, and this ca n come only through effective and thorough study of condi­

tions. Furthermore, the fraternity house should become a potent factor in raising under­

graduate endeavors and ideals to a higher plane, and therefore, a factor in the development

of a more useful. a more splendid, and a more exalted Washington and Lee.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT T he success ful consummation of a task, we believe, is always productive of more or

less pleasure and self-sa ti sfaction. The actual performance of the work may be difficult

21 6

and somewhat irksome; in the anticipation of accomplishment lies the pleasure of pains­

taking and laborious efforts. A s we look back over our work in con nection with the com­

pilation and publica tion of this yea r-book, the full forc e of this truth is rea lized; yet the

labor has been generally p leasant and there have been many delightful moments on accoun t

of the hearty coopera tion and the sincere efforts of our fri ends and co-workers. W e tru st,

neverthel ess, for our grea test pleasure in completion, tha t is successful and meri torious and

that disch arges to the fu llest extent the duty committed to us.

But how well we know tha t this completion wou ld have been impossible but for the

generous assistance a nd liberal bestowa l of time and efforts of these sa me friends and

co-workers! Ce rtain it is tha t in this year , 19 11, we have been blessed with a most wi lling

a nd accomplished sta ff a nd with the rarest fri ends. A nd this feeble a ttempt to express our

apprec ia tion a nd gratitude is uttered with a hea rt full to overflowing.

First of a ll, our th anks are due to a true a nd devoted fri end of Washington and Lee,

now and for seve ra l years the wise and faithful helper of every one who endeavors to edi t

this annua l. In spite of the pain of a broken wrist, Miss P age T ay lor has done a large par t

of the drawings a nd posters. In so d oin g she has given abundantly of her lime and ta lents,

and we are sincerely gra teful. We know of no such supreme exa mple o f unse lfish devo­

tion and love than has been shown by her for Washington and Lee. W e express our

gratitude to Miss M. A. Minor and Miss M argare t Russell, and to M essrs. John

M cCracken, J. R. Barr and John Graha m for further drawin gs a nd posters. But for the

loyal services of these, we would have been completely helpl ess a nd indeed in a sad plight.

Also we are under las ting obligations to Deva ll Gwathmey, w ho designed the cover and

aided us munificently in planning the illu strative a nd arti stic portion of our book.

Dr. Willi am Taylor Thorn, of W ashin gton, D. C. , a wise a nd zea lous laborer for

the furtherance of our Alma M ater' s influence and potency , very graciously acceded to our

request and has written the account of the incorporation of the a lumni. W e are sincerely

gra teful. This forward step, which was conceived by Dr. T horn and in which he is

enthusiastically and intense ly interested, promises to be productive of great results for

this institution.

Mr. S. V. K emp, a well-known and highly respected member of the Lynchburg

Bar, has expressed for us aptly and forc efully our sentiments towards D ean Burks, and we

extend our apprecia tion and gratitude. For many years Mr. K emp was associa ted inti­

mately with Mr. Burks in the practice of law.

W e ac knowled ge with pleasure the great assista nce of M essrs. R. P. Ash ley and

H. C. M cGavack, to whom we are indebted for the poetic and humorous compositions

herein.

W e would not co mplete our acknowl edgment of assistance without a word of grati­

tude a nd apprecia tion to Mr. W. K. Ramsey, J r. H e has given us many va luable

and timely suggestions, which have apprec ia bly lightened our labors. H e a lso reported the

results of the deliberations of the committee which under took the twenty-seventh revision

of the footb all rul es, and, not wholly agreei ng with this revision, has expressed himself

somewhat satirically upon many points. These reportoria l services should not be un ac­

knowled ged.

A nd now the work is fini shed and as we close our labors upon a task that has had

its worries and its disappointments, but withal many pleasurable and gratifying phases, we

trust tha t these pages may hold in the yea rs to come some slight reminder of days spent

a t old W ashington and Lee during the session of nineteen-ten a nd eleven.

BY M. c. H.

INTRODUCTION

With apologies Ia C. B. Shaw, Mark Twain, and all ather writers who have a fa cility for saying exactly what they don't mean.

~~~~51)~~N days long since dead to have written something was sufficient-r:o

matter what that something might be. But times have changed. At

present a writer-{)r one who chooses to call himself a writer­

must not only inflict himself and the public with the something in

question, but must also further inflict them- himself and the public

-with one of those compositions known everywhere as Introduc­

tions. This is on account of the increasing stupidity of the public

and the multiplying sense a nd senses of the writer.

The public has been worked up to the point where it hasn't brains enough to ta ke

anything more in without help from the outside. The author realizes this- realizes th at

he must be understood, so he writes an Introduction.

P ersonally, I don't like Introductions- in fac t, I don't need them and never expect

to need them for my own private use. But if there is one thing that makes a sensible and

intellectual pen-wielder angry, it is to be misunderstood, misinterpreted and misq uoted by

a pack of brainless idiots and unreasoning simpletons who can't write a decent English

sentence themselves, yet want to ma ke Greek out of everything which has been written

for them. To avoid such a conlrelempls I am putting no small labor upon this Intro­

duction.

In the first place it should be stated that under no circumstances is the following

piece to be call ed a Short Story. It is not a Short S tory: was never intended to be a

Short S tory: and never will be a Short Story. A S hort Story is the picture of truth, has

the verisimilitude of truth. This piece is truth itself. It says what it does because what

it says is, and being, exists.

Another misconception which is sure to arise is that this is a tale of F erdy. It is not. It is a tal e of Ferdy's ers twhile love. And being a ta le of Ferdy's erstwhile love it is

consequently a ta le of atmcsphere from which do not infer that "hot air" is under dis­

cussion.

Jt is ca lled the " Cycle" because it treats of something that goes round- in a circle.

N ow F erdy does not go round in a circle, neither does the ta le. The something lies

234

deeper- much deeper. It is F erdy' s erstwhile love th at ma kes the circuit . His oll>n

love is a link which never comes back, yet goes on around, bein g incarnated in the next man's love and the man a fter next's.

B ut there must be a n objec t for love to vent itsel f upon. T his is logica l ; therefore

true. The ta le provides tha t object- thereby proving itself true. That object is the C a llege Widow.

Some people are prej udiced against the C ollege Widow. They don 't like her.

They think her designing. I am not prejudiced against her . I do like her. I don ' t

think her designing. S he is what she is just as you are wha t you arc a nd I wha t I

am. She is the product of her environment- a nd being the product of her environment is

w hat her em i:o:tment ma kes her- single, youn g, attrac tive, willing, sweet, and unca tchably

ca tchable.

S he is not design ing. S he doesn't have to be- so she leaves th at trait to her less

for tunate or more un fo rtun ate sisters. Being the only feminine pla nt in a purely masculine

greenhouse, she is a ttrac tive per force. The collegiate world find s itself up to the propo­

si tion, "College Widow or nothing," a nd College Widow it is. And College Widow

knows it--{;onsequently gives not a ha ng about being designing, on ly wa tching with

furtive interest the birth column of her native town in hopes that the arriva l of possible

competition has been kept a t a minimum. For it is troublesome to look sixteen on thirty-nine big fat years.

A ll of this is fact, and ac tu a l a nd real and true.

But that doesn't keep love out. Love can get through a key-hole, find its way out of

a mouse trap, and is a lways lurking in a tight squeeze. So wha t's to be done ? Why,

let the Cycle go on, of course- living demonstra tion of perpetual motion in tangibl e form.

Let it go on till it gets a cog in the wheels and marriage res ults-or a state of innocuous

desuetude, whatever that is.

B ut this is sufficient--or ought to be. The loca l detai ls are thrown in for the sake

of color ; they can easily be substituted by other details, loca l or otherwise, for the

elements of the ta le are to be fo und in Ferdy's erstwhile love.

The reader can now proceed to enjoy what follows. H e can do it with a free

mi nd a nd an enlightened one. H e will find F erdy what he is and the tale wha t it is a nd

the loca l color ditto, this preface to the contrary notwithstandin g.

THE TALE

Showing the Stern R calit:y af Fictitious Fact.

When F erdy went on the Avenue he went circumspec tly and properly a nd immacu­

la tely- th at is. he went purposely and purposefully. Nine P. M. was his hour­

a nd he never forgot it. F erdy went so regularly and so punctually that other youth

235

sa t up and tcok notice. " Running" F erdy became monotonous. They gave it up and

appropria ted to themselves the wee slice of time between Eight P. M . and Nine of the same denomination. And this pleased Ferdy-and part of the Avenue.

Now Ferdy began findin g his way to that deeply shaded street early in October , when the scholastic year was on the straddlin g legs of its youth. And November saw him still 0:1 the job.-November with its football games and chill winds. H e saw Harnpden-Sid:J ey go down and Roano ke and some others-and nothing happened. H e merely ta lked and rejoiced with part of the Avenue; after the game sauntered leisure ly d own to the railroad track, up over the long ci nder path which winds gently towards the Dorm and, still talking lightly, soon found her sitting by his side near one of the small tables pertaining to the Hub, which all know and none forget. Then back to the Avenue -and a ll was over till Nine P. M.

And then flew time till November twenty-seventh-a Sunday morning long to be remembered. That night he went at Nine and left at Twelve; for the next day would see his departure into the world outside and the Avenue must mourn his absence for a month. F erdy went home- and his friends sallJ love written a ll over him and guessed that his heart was full of the same sweet thing. They guessed well- perhaps.

On January the third F erdy returned- and once more the Avenue awoke to his presence. The basket-ball games were well attended- if you remember rightly. Nor was F erdy ever absent, nor was she. With equanimity they saw the proceedings-not caring particularly. perhaps, about even the great Tech game. It was so charming­this little a ffair. It was so complete in its isolation that other events lost significance to F erdy and to her.

Up town the boys were talking.

"Pon my word, F erdy' s gomg it hard. Struck right in the vital spot, don cher know."

"Wish the ole boy luck. Things running smooth enough now. "

"Funny, ai n't it- 'bout Ferdy? M ashed ain't the name for it. H e's looney. "

But such is the way of jealous men.

Ferdy went to the dances in February. That was one of his habi ts. His hac k pulled out of the Avenue with two inside, after going into the place with but one passenger - F erdy himself. This astonished no one. F erdy was doing the expected thin g right

along.

That night, however, something turned up-somethin g unexpected . F erdy got out of the rut and slid willy-wi lly into something else. H e was introduced to Miss X from D ear Knows Where--and D ear Knows Where obscured the Avenue and con­sternation reigned. F erdy was now in the seething ferment. H e had a peculiar cooked­alive feeling, fi nding hi s will at cross purposes with itself. The dances went on, and while they went on, Dear K nows Where occ upied much of Ferdy's time--as much as she

would a llow.

236

When she left, F erdy di spa tched a letter due upon her departing train and soon had one in return . The Avenue saw less of F erdy.

Middle March hurled itself in. The Avenue had used every ar tifi ce and every charm ;

the victory had been thrilling. T he immac ulate F erdy was paying devoir with old-time zea l and warmth.

F erdy flunked two exams- and the Avenue comforted him. One balmy d ay- one of the few ba lmy days of this M a rch- he hired a runabout and the necessa ry horse and drove with her to Lover's Leap. They sat there a nd gazed upon the beautiful old North River Va lley wi th rapturous joy. Ferdy was happy. H e was king a nd she was

q ueen- and the va ll ey was a fair domain. H e felt the charm of Romance-and it was so with her. The rea l spa rk of love had passed between them- so F erdy though t

and so she said.

The Roanoke baseba ll ga me saw them both in the grandstand.

Even the hard luck in the first P enn State game did not prevent their appearance at

the second.

A week had slipped by. It was now about ten days from the Easter dances.

Miss X from D ea r K nows Where once more appeared upon the scene. She carne ea rly for reasons best known to herself. But for reasons best known to himself, Ferdy once

more fe ll under her enchanting hand. H e dangled around for a while, then boldly in­vited her to see St. John's defeated.

But was S t. John' s defea ted? Ferdy was calm for a while. But wrath began to rise in him. When the centre fielder was hurt and couldn't throw to second; when one

bal l went through short and then another; when first gave way once, and then agai n, and then once more, and the runs were piling up on the other side, and the crack southpaw

of seven sta tes was helpless with a sore a rm: when a ll this happened wrath rose within him and. unmindful of the girl beside him, or of anything or of anyone else- he got up in

hi~ sea t and swore mi ghtily in true college style. The words carne rolling from his lips in

thundering accents-and his spirit felt relieved. Not so though Dear Knows Where. She fixed him with a scorching look an d froze utterly. They walked off the field in

si lence- and separated in the same way. Poor miserable F erdy!

She of the Avenue had seen it all and heard it a ll. Other fellows were glad to have

F erdy out of the way. A nd when F erdy carne that night- as she knew he would-she was prepared and ready.

Before eleven o'clock F erdy was on his knees penitent. She knew the ways of col­

lege men- knew their hearts and feelings ; knew how a fell ow felt when he saw the team of his pride go down to defea t and ruin; knew the anguish and emotion and pent-up

force tha t lay in his troubled soul. She knew it a ll and sympathi zed and cared. She blamed him not at a ll. She felt with him and mourned with him.

And F erdy knew that he had been a fool- and once more returned to his allegianc e.

237

The spring days wore on. The Hub sold more a nd more sundces and ice cream a nd

" dopes. " The roo! tables resounded merrily with the clatter of balls and cues. The

runabouts rattled to the Bridge and back. The verdure of the Campus mellowed down

to the summer tint of faintest brown, while the groups of idlers increased mightily in front

of the Main Building, and the chemistry people sunned themselves with joy.

F erdy to o was in the midst of things. The season brought him, as well as others, its

joys. H e went with her on evening strolls and wandered widely over th sleepy town ;

he w atched with her "Lyric" reels as they rolled in p :morama before their eyf's; they

walked together and talked together and laughed together. They were always together.

And the Hub knew it and the book store knew it and the postofli.ce knew it and

f'Verybody knew it and nobody cared- for love is a sacred thing.

May passed. June came. Exams got by in the same slow but certain way ; and

the curtain got ready to be lifted on the Final Act.

They went to the Senior Ball. They went to the Final Ball. They saw the Bolt

Race. They heard the Baccalaureate Sermon.

They spent their last night upon the vine-secluded porch, and held hands tightly

while the gentle aurora played hide-and-seek with the lattice work which screened them.

Ever and anon a littl e gleam would strike gently the solemn depths of her eyes and flas h

back upon him with all the hidden meaning of love and beauty. To the last minute of the

last hour they kept their devoted vigil, conscious that life is short and one must when

one must.

And F erdy felt himself in love; she felt that he was hers and hers only- to ha \ e

and to keep and to hold. So have thought many before and so may think many in the

years to come.

The C ycle runs its course year in and year out. One wonders why always with .1

different F erdy.

COUNT LOCK PARTS UNTIL YOU SEE IN THE GUN READY FOR ACTION

i Al1 gun mak~rs claim a simple lock but no amount of paper~ta1k wi11 make a lock simple. The gun itself must co nsist of the fewest possible parts- advertising cannot accomplish this. W e do a lntle adve m s ing but this is no reason why you should buy an lTHACA-the reason is in the gun its~lf. Compare o ur lock, set up, ready for action with any other make- if we haven' t the simplest lock w e' ll give you the

Your Printing Should show hL every detail the sanw advanced standards of excellence that your Institution stands for

L_

F OR the proper handling of College Annuals, Catalogues, View Booklets, Magazines, etc., it is essential that the printer has a true conception of the purpose of this char­

acter of printing and an organization of specialists to plan and supervise the execution of the work, as well as the proper equipment to produce it in a suitable manner.

F ROM the time a contract of this nature is placed with us until delivery is made all details of the work are handled by men who have gained from close study and long ex­

perience an accurate knowledge of the requirements of College Printing, and who have at hand all the necessary materials with which to work. We close within sixty days after schools open all the contracts that we can handle for the ensuing year, which is the result of our having the proper facilities and the public's confidence in our ability to take care of their work.

W E handle all parts of the work- the Illu strating, Design­ing, Engrav·ing, Printing and Binding of the above

mentioned lines and solicit your consideration of our quality before placing your contract.

Repeating Shotguns : USED IN THE U. S. ARMY. : The U. S. Army authorities know a gun; that :. is why, when they decided to equip some troops ~·

with repeating shotguns, they selected the Win- ' -:hester in preference to all other makes. The experts of the U.S. Ordnance Board also know ?. gun; that's why, after submitting a Winches­ter Repe=. ti=>g Shotgun to all sorts of tests, they pronounced it safe, sure, strong and simple. If you w a nt a shotgun- buy the one whose strength and reliability led the U. S. Army authoriti es to select it and the U. S. Ordnance Board to endorse it-that's the Winchester.
