New series, w. xvn. JOHN LUCAS, A SKETCH. BY WILLIAM B. PHILLIPS. the year 1874 there graduated from a Southern Univer- IN sity, classed by the hyper-facetious among- the fresh- water colleges, a young- man for whom his friends pre- dicted nothing unusual. He had taken a moderate rank as a scholar, stood well as a base-ball player, and occupied a high position among his fellows for a certain buoyant cheerfulness of disposition that even the undisguised sar- casms of the Professor of Mathematics could not ruffle. He came of a Southern family that had not been rich enough to be poor nor poor enough to be pitied. He was not old enough to have served in the Civil War—whether Rebellion or Revolution does not greatly concern us now for the battle of Little Bethel was fought on his ninth birthday. Nor had any of his immediate family taken ac- tive part in that struggle, for his father was a professor in the University and his uncles were officers of the State Government. His people were of the sort now almost ex- tinct even in the slowly changing South, proud of their intellectual standing, far from wealthy yet having but a slight regard for money, measuring men by what they did and what they were, rather than by what they had, living by a high standard and content to serve God and the State according to their conceptions of duty. They did not belong to the class of so-called slave- -9 holders, for they had always been engaged in some one of O 1 ft "; 2 University Magazine the learned professions, law or medicine or theology, and had never owned more than a few personal servants about the house.
