S NEITHER tlie Critic nor the Literary World has given notice of the appearance of Thk Coi.oniai. Echo, we wish to annonnce to all who appreciate good literature that it is now making its "debut in the society of college annuals." The object of tlie publication is to recount some of the achievements of William and Mary's past, to chronicle the deeds of the present, and to record some quasi-prophetic dreams as to the future. Should any one feel disposed to gently remind us that we should "let the dead pa.st bury its dead," we beg to answer that we are aware of the fact that glory can not be inherited, but we think that the eciw of such music as that made by the deeds of our father alumni will not be dispiriting to any, even should they be marching to future renown. For the addition to modern thought which this volume makes, we merely ask that you accord us that appreciation which we may reasonably to honor us with your good opinion, we shall expect ; but if you refuse by no means feel piqued, but shall be forced to draw our consolation from that consciousne.ss of merit which our utter aversion to boasting lorbids us to betray. If our publication does not create a stir in the literary world as did the appearance of Shakspeare's plays, we wish to plead extenuating circumstances as a partial excuse for our failure. For you must remember that Shakspeare, Plato, and many of our other com- petitors for literary fame, got to the vine of truth several centuries before we did, and plucked off all the best bunches, leaving us only the gleanings. However, if we were less modest and more reckless with our assertions, we would venture to say that what we have prepared for you — and that out of fruit that has not been tasted by Bacon or Shaks- peare — is no mean repast for any intellect.

Williamsburg SEAL OF THE COLLEGE- The College of William and Mary. 11" IS pleasing and protitable to trace minutely the evolution of institu- tions and of men. but to describe the stages of progress which the Col- lege of William and iFar)- has passed since its establishment in 1693, would be a seemingly endless task. Consequently, the writer has contented himself with mentioning a few of the most important and interesting facts connected with its origin, foundatinn. .-md sid)sei|uent career. " William and Mary," the oldest college in America with the single exceptinn of Har\-ard, altlicnigh not formally established until 1693, has antecedents which date as far back as 1(117. liefore the little colon\' had hardly gained a firm footing at Jamestown, before the onerous task of clear- ing the forest had liardl}- begun, and while the hostile Indians were still hovering aromul the almost defenceless settlements, these earlv \'irginians conceived the idea of higher education. The j^rimarx- object in founding a college was t!ie education and Cdnwrsion of the Indians, whose condition seemed to weigh heavily u])on the consciences of the ]}COi)le of that time. So, in t6i(), .Sir lulwin Sandys, together with some good people of England, raised a considerable sum fur the csiablishmtMit of an Indian college and " the foimdation (jf a seminary of learning for the English." Mr. George Thorpe, " a gentleman of Tlis Majesty's I'rivy Chamber," was sent over to superintend the Mi-called university. Uut this first be,ginning of philan- thro])hy to the Indian was ni])ped in the bud by the " Great Massacre " of 1622, when Thorpe and three hundred and forty other settlers perislied. 17 I';i>siii,i; liver tliL- next forty years, ilurins; wliieli the seed snwii in 1617 was still in embryo, we find that in 1660 the X'irginia Asscndjjy \Mteil " thai for the advance of learnins;-. education of ycjiith, sup])ly of the ministry, and promotion of ])iely. there be land taken n|)on pnrchase for a col- " ledjje and free sclioole."' Subscriptions were also taken iij), to which His .Majcstie's ( lovcrnor, Council of State, and liurj^esses of the present ( irand Assenibl\ ha\e severally subscribed considerable sunies of money and i|uan- lityes of tobacco." Some ha\e gone so far as to say that the college was really established in 1661, InU for this there is no proof. The ])eoi)le sulj- scril)cd liberally towards the college, but the odds were against it, both in the economic and political conditions of the coluUry. GEORGE WASHINGTON. President of the United States. Surveyor appoinie'i hit IJte Cotlcf/e Fucutiii 1^4'^; Chancellor nf I he CuUege 17Xt<-ir9U. Ideas assumed a more definite shape in lOyi, when Rev. James lUair was sent to luigland to secure a charter for said college. He laid the plans of the colony before Oueen Alary, who heartily favored the idea. William concurred, and gave " out of the (|uit-rents " two thousand ]>ouuds sterling. Air. lUair was then sent to Seymour, the .\ttorney-General. but with him he found more difficulty. The nation was expensively engaged in war. and could ill afford the necessary fimds for planting a college in America.

PICTURESQUE PERSONALITIES OF THE PICTURES—PAST AND PRESENT ALTHOUGH the cinema as we know it now—and by that I mean plays made by moving pictures—is only about eighteen years old (for it was in the Wallace spring of 1908 that D. W. Griffith started to direct for Reid, the old Biograph), its short history is packed with whose death romance and tragedy. robbed the screen ofa boyish charm Picture plays there had been before Griffith came on and breezy cheer the scene. The first movie that could really be called iness that have a picture play was " The Soldier's Courtship," made by never been replaced. an Englishman, Robert W. Paul, on the roof of the Alhambra Theatre in 18% ; but it was in the Biograph Studio that the real start was made with the film play. Here Mary Pickford started her screen career, to be followed later by Lillian and Dorothy Gish, and the three Talmadge sisters. Natalie Talmadge did not take as kindly to film acting as did her sisters, and when Norma and Constance had made a name and the family had gone from New York to Hollywood Natalie went into the business side of the films and held some big positions before she retired on her marriage with Buster Keaton.
