OVERTURE This, the fifth volume of THE CALY X, is thrust upon an over credulous and unsuspecting student body (credulous as to our ability and unsuspecting as to our lack of it) with fear and trembling. We have violated the eleventh commandment-we have been found out-and our sin will ever be held before us by those who trusted us. Consider, however, that the editors are taking their first fling at publishing a college annual and that the management is sadly crippled by the financial burden left upon the stu dents by the football season, and let these facts, to some extent, stifle crit icism and mitigate the horrors of this book.

TANDING on the threshold of a new century we can not help glancing over the long list of our predecessors and asking whether we have attaine(l or not the high standard maintained throughout the long stretch of years. In many things no do ubt we may have equalled or even ex cell ed them : where we have fail ed we lea\·e those in authority to judge. \Ve arc the connecting link between those who have so long been proud to write the surname 18- and those eagerly awaiting to prefix 19- to their year of g raduation. To the one we have only words of commendation and praise: to the others that follow we say beware. that ye let not the old outstrip the new in the loftiness of ambition or the ho nesty of purpose. \Vell we remember the clay we reached our Athens. First the winding river wending its way eastward to the great ocean, then old H o use :\fountain. the patriarch of this part of the \ ' alley of Virginia. Across the river a glimpse of the home of our neigh bors a symphony in yellow. At last the stately fi g ure of O ld George with whom the future wo uld bring uch close intimacy. Not without misgivings as to the future clicl we come to this unknown land and some of these were realized though we will draw the veil over our first mistakes and adventures. \\'e can remember as though it were yesterday with what a thrill we heard for the first time the old yell resound in the ni ght air and were glad that we could take our humble part. \\'e came at an auspicio us time. The wheel of fortune so long adverse to us was to turn in our favor and after the conflict was o'er we had triumphed oYe r o ur neighbors. O f course in our " childish error" we tho ught that we alone could be the inspiration to such noble deeds of Yal or. T ime passes. How proud we feel as we gather again as Sophomores. In our fir st year we haYe known eYery man in Coll ege and perhaps the greater part of hi s life history. ::\o,,· we are to be more exclusive and look clown on the Fresh as though he belonged to a lower order in the scale of life. fit subjects only 19 for ridicule and oppression. ~ \ las! 't is hutuan weakness to fo rget so soon one's o\\·n fai lings. T here is nothing \Y e do ti!Jt kumy aud ,,.e begin to take a prominent part in the affairs of Coll ege. \\'e aspire to honors in every departmeut. \Ye stri ve to pull the wires in the literary societies. perhaps \ \ T paiut .. U ld Ceorge" aud commit other siu s whi ch we hope haY e long since been forgiv en and forgotten by the Faculty. O ur Junior year is not so ~ve ntful ill m a ny respects. \\'e come to the reali zation of the fact that there are so 111 c things we do not know and proceed fo rthwith to sober do,Yn and acquire them . Perhaps other developments around towu could explain this also but that would hardly be called cl ass hi story. \Ye leave others to worry the Fresh aut! Faculty, kuow fewer m en in Coll ege and less about everything in general. \Yith eriah H eep we can say we are very .. nmble." \\'e are not so numerous as before; many have dropped Acadetn a nd taken to the Law which has been said . though ll ever above a whisper. to be the :.\lecca for all broken-down .--\caclems. X iu eteen hundred! ,\t last we reach the acme of bliss as Seniors. a position so exalted that ill our infantile Freshmen minds \Ye had never thought to attain. \\' e becom e very dignifi ed, hand clown our opinion Oll any subject whatever under di scussion with an air which only our long experience and wisdom in Coll ege affairs can justify. \ \'ith grave faces \Ye discuss the present evils in Coll ege. advise . antidotes and reminesce for the benefit of the .. common herd·· of \Yhat took place in this o r that year of our Coll ege existence. \\'e note with pleasure the rivalry between the two lowest classes, a n e\·id ence that college spirit wi ll not be lacking \Y hen \Ye are gone. The m embers of this class and their accompli shmeuts are so well k nmy n to all that it would be unnecessary to m ention them here. Suffice it to say that as a body our accomplishments are legion. There are athletes whu have upheld the white and blue on ma ny a hard contested fie ld . soon to repeat them in the struggles of li fe. students who well know how to bum the midnight oil but. alas, depart to seek the wider fields of personal research and study; engin eers \dJO \vill stri,·e to riYal the Seven \\'onders of the \Yodel 20
in the products of th eir architectural skill ; philosophers who will eventuall y discover and give to the world the benefit of "what they see. In short, all the branches of liberal culture are here repre sented. a representative class of a representative institution. \Ve can hardly reali ze that the four years are past, time has not leaden wings for us. As we close our eyes the whole scene flashes before us and we seem to li ve over again the events of our sojourn here. O ur first sig ht of the olcl buildings, the first lectures, our fear of the professors we have sin ce learned to admire. The vivid picture of our first Commencem ent is now before us. The visiting" cali c." the stifling heat of baccalaureate Sunday, the thrill ing excitement of the boat race as with tense nerves we watch the struggle for the mastery. "\t last the F in al Ball , the fascinating whirls. the whispered words (of what only the guilty know) and a year is gone. So each flies before us greatly alike in most respects. yet each characterized by som e mom entous event. Again we are laughing and joking with the old familiar fac es som e of whom we " have loved long since and lost a while," gone forever from our lives. Friend ships such as these made at Coll ege are only broken by death's cold grasp. The present comes before us and even now we can almost hear the cry. "1\aughty ?\aught is dead. long live Xaughty O ne," and our heart grows sad as we heave a sigh at the thought of the coming separation. 1\o more will we tread the old familiar halls. or lounge in our favorite nook on the campus content in our happi ness. A sterner future is before us. :"\ o more will we cheer our fellows from the side lines. no more lead the "cops" an exciting midnight sprint to safety. A nd the night wind seems to whisper with Poe's Ra,·en. "?\evermore." Our requiem has been sung. T he pen fails us, the head fall s on the breast and we are sad over the past and uncertain for the future. \Yitho ut, the pale moon is slowly sinking behind the hill s in the west, sheddin g her pale light on the sleeping town. She is resigning her reign of the night to the greater orb of the clay. \\' e look to the east and behold. "jocund clay stands tiptoe on the misty mountain top." Over the crest we see the first rays of the morning sun and in this glorious radiance of the god of a new clay we see the figure of "\mbition beckoning us on. E. D. S. 23 Officers.

The Class of 1901 makes you its best bow and bespea ks fo r itself in a(h-ance that same tactful courtesy and ki nd conside ration that you have hitherto shown its predecessors. :\ nd this boott we, its members, ask. not from a desire to blind your eyes to the few fault s we may possess or from a sense of our o wn unworthiness, fu r we are full y aware of uttr own superior qualities ,- in fact we have oft en been told so,-but because we feel it but the just due of a class so disting ui shed in its clay in every department of coll ege life. \\"e ask that you will not judge us throug h the fa ulty spectacl es of th e old maid (the average Lexington uld maid is competent to find faults in any thing 0 11 earth except herself and her pet cat ) ; nor yet through the admiring eyes of the thirteen-year-old .. prep ·· at the Ann Smith, wh o looks up to us as so many heroes wh ose example he is to imitate to the best of his slender ability ; but with the true, unbiased judgment of that par ticular portion of the fair sex known as " cali co,'' who . though they may sometimes eat a fell ow's Lown ey's before hi s fa ce and then poke a little innocent fun at him behind hi s back . have none the less a warm spot in their hea rts for the coll ege man and are his truest judges. And now having complied with our reques t, as \\'e hope, bear with us a little as \\' e attempt to remind yon of some phases of our past career. O ur first coming togeth er as a class \\'as on that ever memo r abl e fift eenth of September, I8SJ7. when headed by the lloard. the Faculty, a nd a brass band. we marched to the chapel to " ·itness the inaugurati on of our presid ent, \\"illiam L. \\"il son. "-\ s fo r the fir st time \\'e gave th e " L ong Yell," a newl y awakened feeling of the dignity of our position stole gratefull y dO\nl o nr spinal columns and imparted an erectness to our bearing and a prondness to the carriage of our heads that would ha,·e been the envy of the awkwa rd squad then parading on a certain neighboring hill. As \\'e li stened to the spea kers, we felt that the mantle of all the departed heroes 25 of \\'ashington and Lee had fa ll en on o ur youthful shoulders; and after hearing the glowing words of our new president. we began to reali ze that from our ranks were to com e the m en who were to m ake the South again renowned for her learning and states m anship. A h ! it was a repetition of the old feeling we had experi enced when first told by our ambitions parents that som e day we might becom e president of the G nited States. Taken all in all . it was a glorio us first experi ence fo r us. and we m ay venture to say that no F reshman Class eYer entered upon coll ege life under more auspicious circumstan ces than the Class of 1901 . All too soon. however. we had to awake from our pleasant dreams to the stern realities of a student's life. O ur minds were obliged to turn from the pl easing prospect of what we were going to do to the immediate necessity of findin g o ut how to " get things dom1 Patsy." how to dodge those k een g ray eyes that could tell at a glance just how much of the :\ l ath lesson one knew. h ow to g rub successfull y for Greek roots. and the skillful use and abuse of our mother tong ue-knotty problem s to be sure, severely testing one's natural abilities and reli gious principles , but on their solution depended the success of our whole college career. Day aft er day, week a ft er week, went by and we were g radually initiated into all the m ysteries of coll ege life (only one or two, how ever. into those of th e. /.~ ·. ~ ·.). T he societies, literary and otherwise, received their full quota ; athletics occupied much of our time and attention and a fair share of our spare ch ange ; we were shown the workings of coll ege poli tics in the course of a h otl y contested elec tion for fin al ball president ; we were kindly invited out t o tea with the professors without their kno \Yl edge and consent. \ \' e learned by experience m any another valuable lesson. but it was aft er all only the ordinary lot of the Freshman. A nd t hen to crown the whole cam e th e Christmas exam s. It was certainly a time of intense excitem ent. Every face wore a deep expression of concern as the owner thereof would inq uire: "\Vho has a ·jack · to Cicero?" o r. " Can you give me th e address of H inds & ~ oble ?" Yon youth who traverses the campos with li stless step and vacant eye. hi s li ps m oving automaticall y, is he a lunatic, a lover. or a poet. or h as he looked on the wine when it was red ? 26 No; it is onl y a poor Freshman cramming the table of contenb of the" Irregul ar \ ' erbs of Attic Prose." One must not be surprised at bein g awakened out oi sleep to hear hi s roommate murmur in his dreams the fi g ures of speech or the man across the hall loudly declaim mathematical formulc:c. A few clays of feveris_h suspense. a fe\\" nights of sleepl ess anxiety, a few hours of hard work. and it was over. l\ow might we go home for the holidays with the proud satisfacti on of being at last a full-fl edged student. Pleasantly pass the clays of our Freshmanship. \\' eeks, months. terms cam e and went in rapid succession. each bringing in tnrn something new to occupy th e attention or pass away the time. while we were becoming well versed in other sciences than those set down in the catalogue. such as the subtleties of " calicoing " and the art of statue decoratio n by m oonlight. Before the session was over. too, it was discovered that there was some good material among us for future baseball teams and boat crews; and when in June the last bulletins were posted, a fair portion of the scholarships and distinctions fell to our class. As a week later the train speeding onward whirled us away from \\'ashington and Lee. we settled back in our seats with a sigh of satisfaction and a grateful sense of " well don e. '' A.nd here we stand before you to-day, gentle reader. in all the dignity that a Junior Class can possess, with the light of three years' past achievements casting a halo of glory around our youthful forms that many a Senior Class might well envy. T he distinction of which we gave so early promise has been more than won in the classronm and the gymnasium, on the athletic fi eld and the river. in the literary societies and our college periodicals. in every department of college life. True, there are som e among us, who. when Freshmen's fake invitations to tea o r painting " O ld George " are m entioned. quietly change the subject; but judge them not harshly on that score. for we can assure you these are failings that "lean to virtue's side." And in these short three years we have seen many changes. changes for the better; we have seen the course enlarged. th e law building erected. the numbers grow from one hundred and twenty-five to two hundred; we have seen changes in the Faculty. have felt regret at the departure of the old. pleasure at the coming of the new. Rut. perhaps. the most affecting have been the repainting of the old buildings. an event \\·hich does not happen in the career of more than one class in fifty, and the removal to other scenes of our late professor of Latin. Dear old Patsy! How we have laughed at hi s philosophy. wept at hi s jokes . and even occasionally tried to sympa thize ,,·ith his attempts to teach us something-. \\' hat pains we ha,'e takeu to give him pains ; hut now that he is with us no more, rcquicscat in f'acc. Snch our past. \\'ith all the glorious future open before us. Soon we go forth into life to meet our troubles and our triumphs, our failures and our successes. Ec those failures or successes what they may, one day when we visit our alma mater. to the whispered inquiry: "\\'ho is he?'' some one will answer: "He is one of that glorious old Class of 19 01 ." 28 Officers.

James Bell Bullitt, of Kentucky, shoul d fo ot the bills provided hi s collections as manager did not meet the expenses. O f course, whatever a mass-m eeting ordains must be clone, so l\Ir. Vance, et al., published the book. It was called THE CALYX after the honey-cup of the fl ower, its best and sweetest part and, in a m easure, after the pet name given to the fair daug hters of Lex ington-and l\Ir. Bullitt paid the bills. Coll ege politics ruined THE C \ LYX in '95-96 Two editorial boards were elected and consequently no book was published. In '96-97 a new method was tried in selecting the editors. The whole board was elected by a mass-m eeting and the board selected its own chief. 11r. J. l\1. D. Armistead, of Virginia. was chosen editor in-chief, with l\Ir. A. F. Toole, of Alabama, as assistant. The next year the impractibility of an excessively large board was seen, so the present plan of choosing the editors was tried and found successful. B. F. Harlow. of \Vest Virginia. L. \V. Smith, of Virginia, and A. G. Snyder, of \Vest Virginia, were chosen by the mass meeting in '97-98, and l\I. G. Perrow, of Virginia, R. \ V. \ Vithers, of Virginia, and J. H.

At present the two liter ary societies, in joint meeting, elect an edit or-in-chief. an assistant. and a business manager.

O R many years the students of \Vashington and L ee felt the need of a weekl y paper. As is always the case. many talk but few are willing to put their hands to the wheel. so this need was not satisfied until in the fall of '97 J.

The fl attering recepti on it received then and still continues to receive, not only from the students but from the alumni. shows how much it was wanted. \ Vith the prestige of it s success during the past two years and its present prosperous condition it is safe to predict that the coll ege weekly wi ll enjoy a long life. 1\Ir.

His service of nearly forty-one years as professor of Greek in \\'ashington College and \Vashington and Lee U niversity constitute his life-work. and our notice must be chiefly confined to hi s \Y Ork as a teacher, and hi s rare and noble influence as a man over the lives and characters of the thousands of young men, wh o during a period of almost half a century. came into close personal contact with him. Therefore we must be con tent with the merest statement of the events of his life. James J ones \\'hite was born in ~ottO\vay County. Virginia, on November 7th. 1828. His father. Rev. \ Villiam S. \ Vhite, D. D .. a man of noble character and lofty virtues. was one of the striking fi g ures in the Presbyterian Church of \ rirginia during his service, in several pastorates. of over forty-six years. In I8-to. Dr. \\'hite was called to the church at Charlottesvill e, and became chaplain of the U niversity of Virginia. Here, James Jones \Vhite \Y as carefully prepared for the U niversity of Yirginia. which institution he entered in r8-t6. His course in the U niversity of \ ' irginia, which extended, with several interruptions, until 185 I. was marked by especially brilliant attainments in Latin and Greek , which he studied under the guidance of that unique figure in the history of education in \ ' irginia. Gessner Harrison. Aft er teaching a year in Halifax County. \ 7 irginia. he was elected to the chair of Greek in \Yashington Coll ege, ancl in the fall of 1852 began the long term of service that only came to an end with his death on April 13th, I 893. In 1858, he married the daughter of Colonel Samuel l\ [cDowell Reid, who ably seconded her husband in di s pensing that free and kindly hospitality that was never forgotten by those who had entered the charming precincts of their home in the old Reid mansion. In such a sketch as this we may not speak further in detail of the events of hi s life. but in making an estimate of his character and personality it is necessary to keep in mind the fa ct that he was at different times associated on terms of con fid ence and intimate frie ndship with two of the most remarkable men of his time. Before T homas J. Jackson. professor in the \ ' irg inia :\lilitary Institute, had ridden away to becom e the" Stone wall" o f the Confederate army at the first battle of :\ lanassas, he was intimately known and hi g hly valued by Professor \\'hite. A nd after the cause was lost at Appomattox. the g reat leader of the Confederate armies. during a period of fi\' C years. while president of \\'ashington College, made the professor of Greek hi s fr equent companion and confidential adviser. :\Ioreover. during the resi dence of General R. E. L ee in L exington, and afterwards. many distinguished m en came as visitors to the now historic town. :\lost of these were entertained as guests in the home of P rofessor \\'hite. a nd \\'ere aft erwards glad to claim the fri endship of the courtly \ ' irg inian. "-\s an instructo r l 'rofe ssor \ \ 'hite was interesting and stimu lating. and therefore most effici ent. Possessed of a sound and thoroug h formal knowl edge of the Greek language, he yet forebore to make use of Greek as an engine of oppression to his students. but breaking through the outer shell of paradigm and particle. he sho\\'ed forth to those who followed hi s teaching the heart and spirit of the lang uage. it s capability of cl ear expression and its beautiful, simple literature. The formal requirements of the students in the lo\ver classes were severe, but never needl ess; and there was no one but understood that with him forms were but means, and never an encl. H e deli g hted especially in the wonder ful tragedies of Sophocl es and the airy idyls of Theocritus; and his deep. musical voice would ,·ibrate with fe eling as it gave forth the rolling thunder of H om er's lines. H is loYe for the Iliad he extended to H omer, and vigorously defended the ancient bard from the attacks of the German critics who woul d di,·ide him into some two dozen different persons. But skillful a nd successful as was Professor \\'hite as a m ere teacher of Greek. \\' C must seek else\vhere the cause of his unbounded influence over the entire stucl ent-bocly, and of the admiration and affection \Yith \Yhich he " ·as regarded by all the 59 students who attended \Vashington and L ee during his long term of service upon its F aculty. A relatively small percentage of the students were enroll ed in the D epartment of Greek, yet the influ ence of P rofessor \ Vhite extended over all. T o explain this we must look beyond the professor of Greek and see the teacher-the teacher of truth and honor and man liness,-and beyond the teacher to see the man. For after all it is the man in him who strives in whatever line of endeavor, that blesses the world, and makes its future happier and better. And especially is this true of the teacher. It is well for him to have learning, and skill in imparting such knowledge as he may have acquired, but the facts that are taught will soon fade from the pupil's mind and leave him little better for the in struction unless hi s instructor is a man who has strongly affected his nature, char acter and habits of thought, and sent him forth from the class-room not so much stuffed with lore as instilled with lofti er ideals. nobler purposes, and a deeper respect for his own manhood. The great teacher must be a true man ; and a teacher is greater as he approaches more nearly to that one perfect :-. Ian who was the greatest of all teachers. P rofessor \ Vhite was a great teacher because he was first a man. T o adopt the eloquent words of that other man, beloved and honored, J . Randolph Tucker: " U nquestionably; the moral excellence, the majestic elevation, the priceless purity, the simple and unobtrnsive, yet consistent and genuine Christian life of the man, James J. \ Vhite, made the influ ence of the teacher a power for incalculable good to the tho"usands of young men, who have for four decades visited these academic walks ; infinitely greater in benefit than would have resulted from the accretion in the storehouse of his memory of the acquisitions of all time, or the possession by him of the intell ectual powers of the greatest genius who ever sat in the chair of a professor. In prefer ence to genius and learning 'vithout moral power, give us ever the moral power of a Christian manhood, even though it be linked with less lore and less intellect." In person he was strikingly handsome, and being of unusu all y great stature and erect bearing . he was a marked man in any assemblage. This commanding fi g ure was accompanied with a 6o stately but gentle dignity of manner whi ch at o nce attracted con . fid ence and respect. but made impossibl e anything approaching presumption or familiarity on the part of students. A ll of this found expression in th e name applied to him by the students with that happiness of choice that so frequently characterizes these col lege nicknames. "Zeus." His understanding of young men was not le ss perfect than his sympathy with and affection for them . .-\t all times of trouble or doubt. wh ether of the individual or the student-body. he proved the wi se and high-minded leader of the young men during all the years of peace as truly as he had been on the bl oody field of Manassas. when, as captain of the Liberty Hall \ 'olunteers. he saw one-fi fth of his college boys fall dead or wounded. Intolerant of sloth or indifference. he was yet full of ready sympathy for the student who had fall en into difficulty through mi sfortune or folly, and never sent him away unaided. And, lastly. he \\'as loyal to the institution to which he hacl devoted hi s life. and his interest knew no division or diversion. \\'hether as acting president or merely as member of the Faculty. he contended with unfaltering courage for the interests of the U ni \'ersity. during periods of darkness and adversity. \Vith patient determination, and in the face of numberless difficulties. he con stantly sought to strengthen the Pniversity, and enlarge its possi bilities of usefulness. And of \Vashington and Lee of to-day. with its broadened scope and increasing faciliti es. it may be truly said . excepting General Robert E . L ee. she O\\' es to the memory of no one more than to that of James J ones \Vhite. 6r Martin P. Burks. 1\E\\' and valuabl e acquisition to educati onal ranks is in the person of our recently selected professor of common and statute law to fill the chair made vacant by the transfer of Dean Graves to the Pniversity of \ 7 irginia. -:\I artin P . Burks. the second and only surviving son of the late Judge E dward C. Burks of the \ Tirginia Court of A ppeals. was born in Liberty, Virginia (now Bedford City). Janu ary 23cl . 185 1. H is early education was obtained at the old-field schools,chieHy at Sunnysid e Institute.locatecl about two miles from Bedford City. By 1866, he was prepared to start on his coll ege career. and thereupon entered \\'ashington Coll ege in September of that year. His predil ection for athl etic sports took up much time during the fi rst session from his other coll ege duties but thereaft er he .,;ettled cl own to hard work and graduated with the degree of Bach elor of Arts in June, 1870. A ft er obtaining his academic degree . .M r. Burks remained at home one year, during which time his inclinati on fo r the law decided him to enter coll ege again and perfect himself for that profession. Accordingly, in the fall of r87r. he entered the law school of the C ni versity of \ Tirginia. receiving his degree of Bachelor of L aw at the close of the same session . He returned immedi ately to hi s native county and began the practi ce of law. Since then his life has been busy and studious with assiduous attention to every detail of his profession . His maiden effort as an author, " The Property R ights of l\ Iarried \\'om en in \ Tirginia ," published in r8y3. has been eminently suc cessful both with the profession ancl as a text-book at \Vashington and L ee, University of Virginia, and R ichmond Coll ege. In January. r895. -:\ Ir. Burks was elected reporter for the Supreme Court of A ppeals. which position he held until last April. when he took up his educational duties in the L aw School of this institution . 62 Professor George H. Denny. ROFESSOR D EJ:\ :\Y, who was chosen last July to fi ll the chair of La tin. was bo rn in Hanover County. \ ' ir g- inia , December 3d. 1870. His early education pre paratory to enterin g coll ege was obtained at private '-J schools in that county. In 1887, he entered H a mpden I Sidney Coll eg e. fr om which he g-raduated with the degree of Bachelor o f Arts in 189 1. His ex cell ent standing which evidenced his tho roug h knowledge of th e com se he had gone over. induced the trustees of that in stitution to appoint him a fell ow in Latin, Greek. and }.( at!J ematics for the session of 1 8S~I- S~2 . \Vhile holding this position he continued hi s coll ege studies a nd iu Jtm e of 1892 obtained th e degree of }.Jaster of A rts. T he session aft er receiving this degree. P rofessor D enny was tendered and accepted the positio n o f assistant master at Pantops .-\caclemy. The proximity of this school to Cha rl ottesville m ade it very convenient for him to pursue a graduate course in his chosen studies, Latin and Greek. at the l ' ni versity of \ ' irginia. F rom this in stitution he receiv ed the degree of Doctor of I lhilosophy in June. 1897. and was immediately call ed to fill the chair of Latin and German a t his old alma mater- Hampden-Sid ney. There he remained until the beginning of the last session. when that coll ege reluctantly gave him up. to fill the position at \Vashing ton and L ee made vacant by the resignation o f Professor F ay. Professor Charles L. Crow. HE occupant of our chair of 1\l odern Lang uages, Pro fessor Charles L. Crow, was born at Norfolk, Virginia. in 1866. H e entered the Norfolk A cademy when quite youtJ g and prepared for \ Yashington and L ee U ni- versity, where he matriculated in 188-t.. The four years he required to obtain hi s Master of A rts degree was marked in 1885 by his winning the Lang uage Scholarship and in 1888. the Cincinnati O ratorship. Apart from his studious excell ence, h e indulged freely in athl etics which has g uaranteed him a sound body. Aft er teaching a session in Charlotte Hall l\I ilitary Academy. he crosseci th e waters and attended th e U niversity of Gottingcn where he spec iali zed on the modern languages and spent his spare time in the pleasure and educati on of foreign travel. In 1892, he published his thesis and received from that university the degree of D octor of P hilosophy. O n returning from E urope Professor Crow held positions suc cessively as teacher at the Sanouer Summer School of Languages ; assistant principal, Norfolk High School; and as professor of E ng lish and l\Iodern L ang uages at \Veatherfo rd Coll ege. T exas. D uring this period he became the author of several publications among which are: " Zur geschichte des K urzen Reimpaares im ~ I itt e l e n gli sc h e n ,. and an editor of, " Malclo n unci Brunnanburh." L ast year wh en it was decided to separate the department of :;\I odern Lang uages from that of E nglish. P rofes sor Crow was elected to the new chair. Finals, '99. ~ 1\ 0 UR college days, as the years roll round in ever shortening ci rcles, there comes that brief but joyous season, Commencement, or better, F inals; for it is more the ending of o11r college clays than the beginning of our life-work. And as we indulge in o ur last bri ef taste of coll ege gaiety we always try to crowd those fleeting moments full of pleasures and so ronnel out our course completely, for when we know it is the end we can not forget the wrench 't will gi,·e our hearts to tear away from all these scenes. O n a bright June clay we come wandering out of an examina tion. sighing contentedly as we feel it has been safely passed: that means our degree is assured. It is di stin ctly a pleasure to hurl that ink bottle away. give a F reshman the exam. pad and say with a choked laugh ... .A h. that's the last exam I 'II ever stand in those old halls!" Now we are ready for finals. The visitors are begin ning to arrive and as is natural to students. our interest centers in the g irls. \\'e have no engagements with unknown quantities but we like to see them all and hear all that is to be heard about th em. Sunday morning it is a scramble to get ready for church on time, for we go to-clay in spite of rain; it 's our last baccalaureate day. A nd glad we are that we could go and long will we declare that Bishop Gall oway is the best preacher in the Janel. Such a sermon makes us realiz e that it is "not all of life to live nor all of death to di e." Soon Sunday has gone and we as yet scarc ely realize that fin als have begun. A. cl oudy :\lonclay looks gloomy ancl offers little encourage m ent for the boat-race. Dut to our g reat delight the clouds lift a little, enough to insure the race, and we cl o so want our crew to win. \\'e 've talked all year about it. we've helped paint " O ld George " in glowing colors, we may have had a few harmless fights for the sake of the crew. but all that is over now. Five short minutes will decide th e question. So here we are \Yith hundreds of others in excited expectation. :\lay be we sat in a boat once; if so we help get the crew off and give them a last word of cheer and advice. Then up and clown the island in restl ess impatience. chatting with friends and scowling at foes. and many a time startled as some one shouts ''They're coming." until at last that low noise of running horses says they are coming sure. Down to the water's edge or up to the highest top of a carriage we go. dancing to the time of a thumping heart. "Here they come!" and from the Blues goes up a shout of joy while this Red gently murmurs. '' \Yell. damn! let 'em take their water." As they come cl own that shining slope of water I wonder where that smooth swing is that Harry Lee generally has : it's gone and speed has gone \Yith it. I try to look away but my eyes \Y on't leave the boats. .-\h! that's better! the Blues are getting weak, and I see the little reel pennant jump a bit fa rther each time. the gap is closing up. and I jump a little higher each stroke. yelling wildly. " Hit 'em up. Stiffy. hit 'em up," until those red backs swing together on three long strokes that poke their boat's nose over the line three feet in the lead. Up in the air go red hats. flags, banners and streamers in wild and tumultuous confusion while on every sid e there sounds the roar of. Rah ! Hah ! H.ah! Hah ! Rah ! H.ee! H.ee ! H. ee !

A nd shorter still are the moments after that celebration when we stroll along the campus or enjoy the pleasures of the final german. \\'ith a good floor, good music, a good leader, and a good partner that cotillion leaves us an eag-er ness for mo re. Tuesday morning we saw the laying of the corner-stone for the l\Iemorial Hall-a ce remony enjoyabl e and enj oyed despite the burning heat, which forced us to seek cooling shade for the rest of the clay and enjoy the congenial spirits until mo re celebrations \V ere in order. Then the lawyers had their turn, li stening to the eloquent Judge Rose. A nd then that alumni banquet where water and talk fl owed freely far into the ni ght. Or, if we preferred other amusement, perhaps \\·e went to the f{ X. 1~· . German and found that that club hac! again proven itself a successful host. The·· rosy fingered dawn " sent us home to see visions and dream dreams of the girl that seemed so sweet, and perchance to have those visions interrupted by a set of roisterers trying to pour down our throat some vile stuff from a long-necked bottle. O r. again, perhaps we did not go to the alumni banquet or german, but gathered a few fri ends to our room and there built frag rant delicacies of sugar and water and mint. Those moments, too, were marvelously sho rt. The fri ends left very early and with unwonted care we folded our clothes and prepared for bed. As we started to get aboard we found we were trying to mount a merry-go-ro und, going at full speed : we managed to climb on while it moved, only to find that the merry go-ro und was aboard a ship in a stormy sea. and up and clown we tossed until a big black wave sent the whole outfit to the bottom where a sword-fish began to itwestigate onr ribs and say. " Get up, you old fool. you can't sleep all clay." Glad we were to see the li ght of that bright clay. for on that \\' ednesclay we were to recei,·e our diplomas. That little roll of parchment of itself produces a feeling of sati sfaction. but it gives a feeling of happy triumph as the graduate walks cl own and lays it on the lap of the girl who is waiting for him, and it is more than happiness to hear her say, " I 'm proud of yo u ... as she gently presses his hand. \Veil , we got our diplomas and heard valedictories and fare wells, and fin ally a most charming address to the literary societies by Dr. H ume. Then we realized that our college clays were indeed ended and we determined to enjoy that final ball as never before. ;------ O h, what a ball that was! As a day in June is perfect, so was that night in June. \Vithout, the pallid moon stooped from her heavenl y course to res t her on the mountain's breast, while the attendant stars sang to her their mystic music. and the little fire fli es with magic maze wove slumber charms for her. \Vithin, there was a fairy-land of light and color where waited the court for the coming of the prince to whistl e into motion the eager thro ng. And from the time when he, with his pale princess, and their respective trains, danced a stately fi g ure, until A urora's train came dancing o'er the hills, there was joyous revelry in that land of deli g ht. There was mirthful laughter and rollicking shoutings, and there was the subdued whispering of tender words or the message from bright eyes to brighter ones. and there, too, were tears spark ling and sayin g farewell s the voic e could not utter,-this, all this was there and much else. too. 72 So was the end of our dream in that happy vall ey, where the mo rning sun rose red over the Blue Ridg-e and the evening sun sank golden behind the purple A ll eghenies. \\'hat time we tarried among those hill s, shut from the outside world. we did "ever seem fall ing asleep in a half-dream," and were onl y removed from that holl ow L otus-land struggling , but bound by stern ::'\ecessity: for surely there, if anywhere, The L otus blooms below the barren peak, The Lotus blows by every winding creek ; All day the wind breathes low, with mellower tone, Thro' every hollow cave and alley lone, Round and round the spicy downs the yellow Lotus dust is blown. 73 The Liberty Hall Volunteers. H E most picturesque phase in the li fe of man is the uniformed fi g ure which foll ows the rhythmic measures of martial music , with his implements of trade glittering in his hands and the fl ag of his country fluttering over his head. Men admire women, the women admire the men. children admire each other, but all, m en. women, and children worship the soldier. He is ever honored and his deeds belong to his country. It glori es in them and reckons them among its ri chest possessions. They are pointed to with pride, their refl ected glory envelopes all who come under their rays. and those who have been near the actor count that time among their dearest associa tions. This old U niversity has many such associati ons in which to revel, starting even before the nati on's birth and running in unbroken succession through our last war. \ Vhenever a stout heart and a steady hand has been needed to protect it, even unto death, this institution has furnished her quota in the cause of right and liberty has been her idol fur a century and a quarter. Two months before July ..tth. 1776. \Villiam Graham, the head of A ug usta Academy, rechristened his school and declared in its new name th at it and its teachings would ever stand for the cause of freedom. " Liberty Hall ' ' it was call ed and several years later when Tarl eton and his raid ers were overrunning the lowl ands of Yirg inia it showed that it was not o nly in name and teaching the symbol of liberty, but when liberty was in di stress it would furnish its offering of human life to defend its principl es, for when Tarleton sought new fi elds of conquest beyond the mountains he met such a detel· mined resistance in Rockfish Gap that he thought it best to retire to the east. T arleton was checked by a sturdy band of mountain eers and in that band \V as \Villiam Graham and his scholars from Liberty H all ready to give up their li ves in the defense of their homes and the cause of liberty. 74 Of the two soldiers for whom this 1Jniversity is named it is needl ess to speak. O ne's life is one of the greatest prides of our country. the other's, of this Southland. Dut there is another set of soldiers whom we can claim as o ur own. Sixty-four students of this University. Coll eg-e it was in those days, have left us a bequest of all that is noble in man. Organized even before their State had proclaimed it self severed from the C" ni on, fighting throughout the wh ole war between the States, and ever maintaining the repu tation won at the first battle of ::\Ianassas where their g-eneral said of them that they were more than bra\'e, their record is one of the brightest pag-es in the history of \\'ashingto n and Lee. These boys in honor of their predecessors in the war of th e Revolution called themselves the Liberty Hall \ ·olunteers, and their deeds have added a new lustre to the old name of Liberty Hall causing it to be one of the proudest, among the many proud names of which \ ·irginia can boast. A few weeks aft er the rise of th e Confederacy. the people of the North dec ided to end the war in one stroke by sending ::\IcDowell to ride over Deauregard's little army at ::\I anassas and march on to Richmond. Perhaps they would have succeeded except for the fact that way off yo nder in the \ ·alley of \ ·irgini a General Johnston was hastening to reinforce the handful of men opposing the ?\orthern advance. Dy a marvelous forced march, he arrived in time and in hi s army was the Coll ege company. not one of which fell out or straggled although many of the men could not stand the pace. \\'ith unbroken ranks they fil ed into this their first battle, mere schoolboys : they came out veterans. bearing the proud name of .. Stonewall " but left six of their number dead on the field as sacrifices to the cause for which they were fi ghting. Four years later. after struggling with their enemies in thirty two different battles. after suffering heavy losses from death, dis ease, and capture, the Liberty Hall \ rolunteers surrendered with Lee at Appomattox. Four different captains. two first li eutenants and one second li eutenant had been kill ed or captured leaving the company in command of J. H. E. Jones the surviving officer with rank of li eutenant. but hi s company only numbered four men-one of whom. Thomas 1\I. Turner. was all that was left of the original band that marched away from \Yashington Coll ege in June.

Thou shalt love thy neighbor, the commandment second ; Of it never thought, of it never reckoned- Not he, not he. Till she came-yes, she came- but her name To mention it here were a sacrilege-shame.

GRAHAMOLEE -~SOC~ETY HE Graham-L ee Literary Society was organized August 19th, 1809, under the name of th e Graham Philan thropic Society, and was one of the first three literary societies organized in American colleges. Its founders were J ohn D. Paxton, presid ent; ~el \Vilson, vice- pres ident; J oseph A. I\rown. secretary; Randolph Ross. \Villiam C. Preston, John D. Brown, Gustan1s R. J ones, E dward C. Carring ton, and J ohn F. \Vilson. O ut of this number several afterwards became very disting ui shed in the council halls of the state and nation. Thus was foreshadowed the great work that the Graham Lee was destined to do. T he records of the society were destroyed by Hunter's troops during the war, but are complete from that elate on. Since 1867, the society has been giving a debater's m edal. I\ declaimer's medal was given from 1871 to 1896. when it was changed to an orator's medal. The first debater's medal was won by Givens Brown Strickler, \Yho was captain of the Coll ege company during the latter part of the war and is now R ector of the U niversity. Sev eral years later it was won by Henry St. George Tucker. who rep resented the Tenth Yirginia District for many years in th e national House of Representatives and ts now Dean of the Law Faculty.

In 1867. the m embers began to hold annual contests among themselYes for the best oration, and in 1871 declamations were introduced into the contests. but were only continued for eight years and th e orators were given full swing- until so much excite ment and dissension was created by the elections that the Facult,· for the interest of the societi es, offered medals for the best orator and declaim er in a contest between the societi es at Finals. In 1885, the society again took up its individual contests but changed the celebration from commencement to \ Vashington 's birthday, and the medal s are awarded by the society. For the first fiv e years of this new reg-ime, medals were only given to debaters, but in I8~o a cl eclaimer's medal was added and continued until I8SJS when an orator's medal was substituted. 150 Washington Society.

The jackass is a very fr eqnentitive animal and thrives in all countries and climes. T hey should be controlled and kept all by themselves for they do much harm to the " ·oriel at larg-e .. They can not harm themselves for they are beyond harm and come under the special "care ·· department that Providence has provided for fools and drunkards. \\'hen a person gets to be too much of a jackass he is sent to one of the various asylums provided by the several states to receive them. There is such a corral for jackasses in Staunton. There are several jackasses in \\'ashington and L ee U niversity. The Bull. The lmll is an animal raised in all the various departments of arts, sciences, and professions in \\'ashington and Lee U niversity. H e is as plentiful as there are departments, has no occupation in particular, and is of no practical nse at all except that he is always "pulled" by the man who has the lowest mark at the end of the month. Thus, if a man stands four in Junior Spanish he is said to "pull the bull." This is also trne if his report reads as follows : STAND IN I NA~ IF: I I I NO. IN CLASS c--_f'_LA_ s_:.;_· -c----~-IA R :___~HI'F:N C_E_S -c--R-E_~_IA_R_I_~s_· )lostly Com Jones 21 21 14 17 plimentary The Bird. The bird is a hi g h fli er. It moyes in the highest circl es of society but <;omctimes descends to the lo\\'er. The bird does eYery thing-. Dresses well , smokes cig-arettes. cnts classes, dances. vi sits all th e " cali c." plays pool and billiards. fights dog-s. niggers and anything else that comes along, carries a cane anrl is generally adored by the younger and more susceptibl e of the boys in Coll ege. This particular species of animal is not very popular with the Fac ulty and is generally consigned to a state call ed probation soon after his arrival in L exington. 171 '· The Pony. The pony is bred principall y by Arthur Hinds & Co., of New York. Henry G. Bohn. of CoYent Garden. London. also raises a special breed call ed " \ ' irgilius." Ponies are of two kinds. the Handy Literal and the " interlinear "- the latter has especially smooth paces and is very easy ridin g. It is particula rl y adapted for beginners. hut many a proud Junior and dignified Senior has ridden ponies of both spec ies through particularly difficult ''passes.'' lj2 The Bug. The bug- is of vario us vari eties and fl o urishes in m ust uf the coll eges o f the country. In a ll hut \\rashingto n and L ee it is call ed the "fraternity.'' T he bug is something th at m a kes o ne feel badly if he doesn't get in it. ~oml'tim c s a man is looking fo r a bug and doll't get it : then he says that the whole fraternity system is rotten and tries to stamp it o ut of the State institution s " ·hen he goes to the legislature. The night a bug stretches o ut its talons and catch es a man, the who le push adjo urns to Johnny LaRowe's or Squire's and eats oysters at the victim's expense. H e g enerally handles hi s anatom y with great care fo r several days thereafter. I73 The Goat. T he goat is a most timorous beast and thrives wherever the " bugs,. are found. He most generally makes his appearance in the earfy fall but may crop o ut from time to time all during the session. He always receives quite an ovation on his appearance, and is hail ed with bedslats, a blinclfolcl, and constant orders to " step high." Then the goat's voice is tried, hi s agility in climbing trees is tested. in fact he is put throngh all his paces. A ft er that he is decorated with the badge of the particular fl ock with which he has alli ed himself ancl the \\'hole push adj ourns to Squire's where oysters are sen ·ed at the goat's expense. 174 The Sucker. The sucker is very plentiful both here and away from here. He either knows nothing or thinks he knows it all. The first variety swall ows every little bit of bait cast before him innocently and with an idea of investigation and generally in time learns better. The second variety swallows th e bait because he thinks he knows what it is and by means of it can also devour the one casting it. This kind never improves but goes on swallowing bait until the end of the chapter. Both varieti es get "rolled., very oft en but. as there is some redemption for the first sort. I would advise all suckers in coll ege to try and bring themselves under that head. Suckers are generally hunted and nm to earth by sharks. 175 '· The Shark. The shark is a very ravenous fish and resembles the li on in that he goes about the world seeking who he may devour. He generally looks harmless like a wolf in lamb's clothing but if you g-et into any game with him. pool. billiards, ten-pins, horse trading. gambling or other such pastimes you will find he is an adept at all, though he protests that it is the first time he has tried any. In fa ct. you will find he is a shark. Somehow collegiate atmosphere is not very good for hi s sharkl ets and their lives are ve ry short in \Vash ington and Lee. - -: ... -- ..
