In that quarter Millennium unimaginable phyfical and political Changes have taken place. Tranfportation has (hrunk the World to a mere Speck of its former Size. The Day of the little failing Ship and Oxcart has been fuperseded by the Aero- plane and Motor Car; the fwifteft Couriers are literally motion- lefs in comparifon with the Radio and Telephone, and coinci- dentally the Telefcope has enlarged the Bounds of the Univerfc until the ordinary Man is driven to fall back upon fuch incom- prehenfible Standards as "Light Years". Yet in thefe portentous, revolutionary and difquieting Changes the unconquerable Will of Man ftill ftands. The Forms of Faith have altered, but Man's Faith in Man remains. The Population, the Area, or the Wealth of this Country, important though they be, are in themfelves only one Phafe of the great Contribution made by the Sons of William and Mary to the accomplifhed Revolution in this Land. That Gift was firft Be- lief in themfelves and then the demonftrated Validity of that Belief in Man's Power to meet and deal with the Demands of Life. That is the Spirit we need to fee vital and energizing once more. At this Time of general Doubt and Uncertainty, confronted by new and menacing Forces, this Land is once again, as in 1776, thrown back upon the Light of Reafon and the Fortitude of Faith. Thofe were the moving Forces that have fhowed forth in the Sons of William and Mary in every Crifis which this College faced. With the fame Simplicity of Certitude the Spirit of William and Mary, today, turns inftinctively and furely to the unchanged Principles and the unobfcured Purpofes of the Student and Alumni of this College from its Beginnings and, like a great Artery throbbing and pulfmg from the Heart of Life, the Aims, the Obligations, the Courage and the Will of 1693 animate the William and Mary of 1936. John Stewart Bryan. PREFACE N Echo is an exceedingly ftrange and wondrous Phenomenon, which, given a fubftantial Background, will fpeak again in the Voice of Man, where no Voice is. The Prefent is a Symphony of Echoes, refounding from the receding and impenetrable Walls of the Paft. The Future waits upon it for its Memories. Our Day has come — we add another Echo to the rifing Voice of Time. We of Their Majefties' College oi U^illiam and Mary in Virginia, perhaps more clearly than Moft, have heard the Echoes of the Paft, and, liftening, we have wondered at their Power and Wif- dom. Is it then ftrange, good Sir, or ftrange, fair Madam, that we, your Editors, have endeavored to blend this your Book with the Memories of the Paft — praying always that as it echoes the Memories of your ftudent Days, it may bring alfo the Echoes of thofe who have gone before? Is it ftrange that we fhould feek to bind ourfelves, with fuch Ties as we may, to thofe great Scholars and Statefmen whofe Voices have echoed for two Centuries paft from the Halls of our College and from the Life and Strength of our Nation? What more could we hope, and for what more fhould we ftrive, than to join with Them in holding ftrong the Background which muft ferve the Echoes of the Future. TABLE OF CONTENTS BOOK I.
