The Editor's Plea ND "love路s labor"' is finished. At la t our fir t real experience is at an encl and \\路e offer this, our first contribution to immortal literature, lo the public and po terity, but more particularly to the faculty and students of Richmond College. \Ve have tried to be hone t first and fulsome afterwards, so if anyone should happen to see himself, through lhe medium of these pages, as others see him, we beg of you to think twice before you become angry, for '路weeping and gnashing of teeth" will avail you nothing.

If you should be intere sted in what we present, \\路e will be gratified; however, if you allow your angry passions to ari e, we will only be amu ed. Diel you ever fasten a bug on a pin and watch it wriggle? lt is fun for all except the bug. We have used the pen for the same purpose. vVe do not make these suggestions by way of apology, for we have no apology to offer, but simply to explain that if you fail to recognize the humor of the situation and are obliged to feel rather than see, the point to our joke , then we are very, very sorry-for you.

With sympathy for college editors of the pasl, prayers for tho e of the future, and "charity toward all," we lay our work aside, and leave each and all of you to your own small and petty troubles of lhe day .

History of Richm ond College the 8th of June, 1830, in the Second Daptist Church, whose meeting-house, a plain structure, stood on Eleventh street south of l\Iain, on the spot now occupied by one of the Everett vVaddey Company stores, a few "devoted men" gathe r ed ''to devise and propose some plan for the improvement of young men who, in the judgment of the chur ches, were called to the work of the :-ninistry ." In 1832 this society bought the "Sprin g Farm," and opened there a manual labor school. It was called the Virginia Baptist Semi nary, and had one teacher, Rev. Robert Ryland. and fourteen students. The buildings cons isted of a plain farm-house and lab-covered log cabins, which were built from time to time as needed, and an unsightly barn that served for a chapel and chool-rooms . Herc from July T, 1832, for two and a half years , this school wa

~~w~,-;;;~:::,,1;'v"'i1;(

conducted.

"Columbia,"" the property on which the present In June. 183--1-, buildings now stand , was bought for $r2,ooo . ancl the institution st ill called the \'irginia Baptist Seminary, was moved to this place. The names of the men most prominent and influential in founding the college ought never to be fo rg otten. There is no record of all who attended that "numerous meeting" held at .S .,. M . in the Second Daptist Church on the 8th of June. 1830.

The committee to whom the matter was referred consisted of Revs. Edward Baptist. \i\Tilliam F. Broaddus, Jeremiah R Jeter.

Henry Keeling and James B. Taylor, names identified with all our denominational hi story.

The minutes of this meeting were discovered by the Hon. J. Taylor Ellyson. and he has carefully preserved them.

For the benefit of any trustee or friend of the College who may think that in lat er years too much attention is given to athletics, it may be remer:1bered that in her very earliest history the College gave great attention to this important branch of Tndeed. they were then in some respects better off education. than we are to-clay, for they began with an athletic field, and put physical training into their regular course of in. truction. The venerable Dr. Robert R yland says in his historical address, speaking of the founders of the College, "They determined to combine Yinc

with their study a system of manual labor for the improvement of health, for dimini hing expense and p rhap to guard the humility of the young preachers. They hired a garden-er, bought utensils, built workshops, secured a market cart and pre cribed three hours work daily to the tuclent ."

From 1832 to 1840 Dr. Robert Ryland, the founder of the College, presided over the school, and also taught.

In 1840 the institution received its fir t charter from the State, under a board of tru tees. The present Education Board is the legal successor of this Education Society, and thi . b -:rd has been exercising since the passage of that act, the privilege which had been reserved by the Education Society of naming ten men from whom the College Board must select a man for each vacancy which occurs in their number.

It became apparent that more building would be needed, but not until 1855 was a serious effort made to supply this need.

In that year President Ryland, upon authority of the Board of Tru . tees. erected the Building now known as Ryland Hall.

In the meantime the College had been' developing its cour e of study and adding to its faculty, but it did not undertake to confer degrees until 1849. Two in that year-the late Mr. Josiah Ryland and the widely known Dr. P. S. Henson. still vigorous and alert-received their diplomas. It was in this period. from r8-1,oto r86o, that the necessity for some sort of an endowment was forced upon the attention of the management of the school.

Pre. ident Ryland visited the churches, procuring contributions.

In this period an endowment fond of $ro,ooo was raised.

The years immediately connected with the birth of the College were full of significant fact , and that period deserve to be counted as a real epoch in her history, for the faith and courage of our fathers show brightly, for tho se early beginnings are now more worthy of di tinction than the period of its renascence in 1866.

The ever loyal and generous friend of the College, 1r. James Thomas, Jr., began with a subscription of $5.000, and offered. while the effort to rai . e the endowment wa in progress, to pay the salary of one professor. Other ubscription were taken at the same meeting, the tota l amount secured being $8,000. The association tendered to the trustees this subscription, and suggested ¡ that they shou Id take steps at once to increase it to $100,000. The next clay the trustee elected . M. Poindexter agent, and under his leadership $75,000 in subscriptions were secured. Only a little more than one-third of the amount was paid. Then came the deluge. The whole country was overwhelmed by a sort of general bankruptcy.

In the reorganization of the College, a president and four professors were chosen, but only two of those first elected accepted-H. H. Harris and B. Puryear. A month later Professors 'l'en

E. B. Smith and Edmund Harrison were elected, and Dr. T. G. Jones was chosen president. The first session after the war had an attendance of ninety---'sixty-five non-resident and twenty-five resident students. The institution was still very poor, its productive funds were slender, its buildings inadequate, its faculty far too small.

And yet the institution was constantly embarrassed and hampered for lack of funds. The small amount that had been saved from the old funds secured prior to the war and the small amount that had been realized on that first effort after the war made a very pitiful endowment. In 1872, in the General Association, meeting at Staunton, upon the motion of Charles H. Ryland, it was resolved to celebrate the succeeding year the semi-centennial of the General Association by raising a fund towards the permanent endowment and building of the College. It was first proposed to raise $roo,ooo, but a wave of enthusiasm swept over the body, and under its influence the amount to be raised was increased to $300,000.

In 1895 Professor F. 'vV. Boatwright was made President of the College. His term of 12 years has been marked with success and progress.

During this period more than $116,000.00 have been added Science Hall and the Memorial Dormitory lo the endowment. have been erected and paid for. Two academies, one in Newport News and one in Richmond, have been projected under the auspice and control of the College. The library has been enriched by the addition of hundreds of volumes, and a thorough classification ha s been made of its treasures. \i\Tithin this period the important step of admitting women to the senior classes was taken, but what will prove doubtless to be the most significant measure during these twelve years, and what may prove to be the most important change of policy in the whole history of the institution, ha s been the arrangement entered into between Richmond College and the Baptist Education Commission of Virginia under the approval and direction of the Baptist General Association of Virginia, by which this corporation undertakes to manage and develop a great central woman' ,s college that shaJ.1be to the women of Virginia and the south what this institution has been to the young men

for B. A.

Mattie L'ouise Brown, believing that Richmond, if any city, was deserving of great renown, clecic\ecl it was her duty to make it famous by her birth-which occurred some time between the years of 1800 and 1900.

We can't be more definite, since the subject is a co-eel. If we must judge her age by her looks, the case is indeed baffling; for one clay this young lady wears a Buster Brown collar and tie and looks sixteen; the next day she cuts, and the day after she wears a "choker" and a ''Merry vViclow," and looks-indescribable.

Mattie has toddled through the Richmond High School and Riehmoncl College, supported a great part of the way on ponies and girl friends' arn1s.

Waked up for the first time i11 Chesterfield County, and having heard from childhood clays, of the glory of this institution. made it his ambition to enter its portals and leave them without saying a word more than w:ts absolutely necessary.

Occasionally, however , he opens his mouth and closes it, with a great effort opens it again, and sends forth words of profoundest wisdom-which he considers it cruel to keep back from his class1nates.

Otherwise it would seem that Kenley firmly believes that ¡'silence is golden,'' and thinks ( unlike omc others we know) this the easie~t way on earth of compiling 11¡ealth.

One morning, old Richmond Collegt awoke and found itself famous.

Peachy had come-Peachy, born some limes in the last century, we don't know exactly when. We do know, however, that P. has constantly smiled and blushed and incessantly talked her way thr .ough both Richmond High and Richmond College.

Her college grievance is that he must now and then quit and let th professor have his say. But we sincerely believe that P . can talk ( not say) more in five minutes than all the professors put together.

(It would be rather unfair, though. to make ·· ncle Billy'" compete.) ln 1907, took her M.

Those beautiful black locks :if Shakespeare first began to curl in Charles City County. Va., on August 30, 1886. Since that memorable date in history. the "sage of Roxbury" ha applied him sci f at the Charles Cit 1 County public schools, at Richmond Academy, at Randolph-Macon Academy, and finally decided that he had made a grievous error and allowed himself to be matriculated with us at the 路路Baptist College 'way out on Grace street."

During his Senior year, he became famous for his contortions in attempting to hide while in the classroom from the inquisitive glances and remarks of the faculty.

A lawyer who is a spcnclth1路i ft with hi, tongue and who has no sense of dignity and forbearance, is like a pig in a parlor in this day and generation, and it were better that a mill stone had been hanged around his neck.

Thcsr arc his prospects, but mayhap, his a socialions with the R. F. & P.

Br ot her Ru . se ll is littl e better kn o wn on the campus than o ur fri end Bowles, yet not without reaso n, for ilent member 'Jf he i th e important a firm o f ba rri ste rs clown in th e ,·illage and must betake him se lf off each mo rning to look afte r his unsuspecting clients.

Hi s artistic '·shea th gown '' walk as he amble backwa rd and forward across th e ca mpu s receives the envious glance of each of the co-eels., who would give their false hair to be able to emulate him .

Senior Class Histor y 1905, frequent rumors had been brought to many public- spirited youth. of our country that, in order to be available for success as leaders, they had better make a pilgrimage to a certain shrine. At this place a king would come out and bestow honor upon them that could be used to great advantage. These rumors intere ste d many, and a goodly number were disposed to go in search of this king.

About that time a celebrated company, kn own a Richmond College, was offering inducements to young men and young , women who desired the pilgrimage. The term s were rea sonable, yet strict as the firm was unwilling to deviate fr om the path it had succes folly travelled before. It apprised the prospective pilgrims of the clangers that lurked on the four year ' journey. If one should become the least careless or negligent he might forfeit his object. The good Doctors in charge of th journey promi sed their aid if the traveller s, in turn , would give their cooperation.

They said that the shrine could not be reached easily: that it meant con iderable effort on the part of the seeker. These conditions were accepted by many, and on the clay of departureabout the middle of eptember, we were on hand.

These young people came from all parts. Soon the y were assimilated into an ideal bunch. Everybody wa s happy, hope ful and even courageous. As we journeyed , inter esting stories wer e related by each other and various amu sement s diverted us. The road wa easy for a while, but by and by it changed. The further we went, the more difficult it got. Di couragement began to app ar on the brow of many, and when we made our first haltfew gave us an affectionate farewell. a three months ' vacation-a saying that things were not what they eemed.

The march was resumed at the appointed time. All of us had enjoyed a rest, and were prepared to go again. A before . the way gradually grew harder and more complex. but ow ing t the good fellowship of the party, th e hardships were lessened.

Now and then a friend who had made the journey would encour age us and incit e u. to persevere. 'Nhenever opportunities were given, we indulged in merriments, such a athletic and literary exercises with contesting teams. Such things inspired us greatly.

N

Porty-eig71t

On the whole, that was a good year. However, we welcomed our vacation when it came.

When we met again, we fo11nd that our former number was incomplete.

It seemed a matter of impossibility to keep our group impact, despite a prevailing tendency to continue to the coveted goal. Thi ¡, the third year, proved to be no exception to the rule in every form. Deep cha ms had to be bridged and dangerous rivers had to be forded . At one time or another. every one of u felt a little doubtful, but practically each had a determination to do his best. vVe were appreciating our effort more highly. 'vVe perceived that we 'were benefitted greatly by corning thu far. Honors of various kinds were thrust upon us from time to time. Still we r ealized that the king's commendation would fit us for higher honors and greater service. At the end of this year, every one of our number was eager to return.

Thi year, the fourth, brought us together with a renewed determination. \ Ve regret that on the last lap one or two, fell out, to finish with the party behind us. Looking back over the past, we have an incentive that goad ~ us on towards our ideal destination.

Thu far we have succeeded . Despite our hard but happy journey, we have had perfect harmony and excellent experience. 'vVe rejoice that we started with the above-mentioned company.

VI/e are now nearing the encl-in fact, we are in ight of the throne of the king, but we know that our journey is not comp lete. vVe dare not ay no enemy will beset us, even on this little way.

The last sente nce we note is: 'vVe are trusting.

History of Class of 1910 September 22nd, 1906, and for three consecutive clays, th ere arrived on the campus of Ri-chmond College, original spec imens of the human race, later known as "rat s." Clad in various and variegated attire s, they formed a unique as well as intere sting body, whi ch wa s then but in the embryonic stage. This body, apparently entirely inoffensive and incapable of harming even a mouse , meandered around th e campus and building s, asking questions, "getting acquaint ed," lear ning why str eet cars run , etc ., and finall y settled , in most part, in a swa rm on the third floor of that ancient and honorable building, rejoicing in the name of Ryland Hall. A few of the stragglers were lost and stra yed int o Memorial Hall and DeLancl Cottage. This rough, unc outh body was kindly treated by all , but at times, some composite part s of said body were too inquisitive and were inclin ed to make them selve s too much at hom e.

On th e night of the society recepti on, some of the "honorables" o f the inst ituti on inquired kindly the abode o f such m ember s, which informati on was promptly and cheerfully giv en, and then th e troubles began.

"Fre derick sburg " Cole was the fir st on th e "v isiting" list, and the body was given to und erstand that he was given special att ention. O n the follow ing night, th e body met Waterloo together.

The old elm, which is now a thing of th e past , was that night loaded to its full capacity with youngsters, waiting, willing , anx iou s to sing, run , danc e. climb , and make speeche s. But the poor attainments of the most of us were incomparable with the high-flown eloquence of "N . J." Morgan, borne sweetly to our ea rs on the midnight zephyrs; or th e beautifu l, high-pitched , but quavering and tremul ous tenor of " Rat " Burch, perch ed upon the topmost bough of th e old elm ; or the light fantastic tripping s of "Re dd y" Shumate, accompanied by a strong chorus from "S hir " Jenkins, "Si" Perkins, "B icycle'' Outland, "Tex" Jon es.

"Bi ll" Decker, th e ste nt orian-voic ed Gulick, the ren owned "Lanky" Lodge, and "Littl e" R obert son. Far be it from me that I should detract one radian of ....., e-lory that belonas to Lonao , h Keeton, and " Rat " Rogers, than whom th ere are no better at running on all-fours, and who are well worthy of me11tion. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~-,::"".'-!~~~N

It wa s upon thi s imm ortal night that " L anky" L odge mad e his ''R ep" as a disciple of He rm es, fo r he led the process ion by such a distan ce th at th e '¡Jud ges" with the greatest difficult y kept apace with him . T here were many oth er s of thi s body tha t won renown th at night , bu t the pace fo r enum erat ion is denied me.

In fa ct. so constant was th e prac tice, th at we could not resi t th e temp tation to "t ry our hand ," and in view of th e fact that one tud ent fr om town had been laughin g at our expense, we resolved to put our " th eories'' into pr act ice. T his was done to the entir e sati sfac tion of all concern ed, thr ough th e efficiency, ingenui ty, and coolhea dedn ess of 1110 t of the above-menti oned, with thee pecial kindn ess of "T ex'' J ones, O utland .

By the time sprin g with all it verdur e, balmy br eezes, a nd Rowers had ro lled aro und. sufficient sp irit had been installed into th e " rat s" to fee l "t heir oats," and so und er the kindl y sur veillance of the haughty eniors, th e fa mou " ra t' ' agg regati on sta rt ed a histo ry in which they un anim ou ly decreed that "t he histo ry of th e 19ro class of Ri chm ond College should be wri t in lett er s mo re enclurin ° that bro nze. incorru ptible and imperi shable."

O n the follow ing Septe mb er , the 19th day. the doughty and now no longer " rat s" but "so ph s" wer e on th e gro und s and on the jo b. E nthu sia tic and a rd ently desirin g to put some of their theories int o p ract ice, th ey a lmost ove rcame the gushin g. confidenti al " rats" by kindn ess. vVhether we succeeded as teachers and ex ponents of the " haz ing theory," we will leave it fo r our now respec ted fr iend s, the class of r9rr , to say.

T he grow th of the class and the pass ing of the "so ph s" were not a eventful as wa s th e pa sing of th first stage. I Iowever. the class still marched on. and on. with an occas ional bri ef conflict, in which some of our br ave numb er. weak ened an d wea ried by th e conflicts along th e stage of gro wth. sought green pas tur es. cool str eams, shad y nooks, and pleas ing land scapes , tir ed of th e st renuo u life as set fo rth by the rigo rous chief. of th e College .

In thi s yea r we we re pleasa ntl y au gmented by the arri val of eve ral "co-eel" rats. whom we gladly r eceived into our m idst, and bade them "God -speed."

History of Class of 1911 T is with pleasure, if not with confidence, that the writer takes the quill in his hand and begins the history of the notable deeds of the class of '1 r.

He realizes the magnitude of the task when compared with his resources and ability. Therefore he begs the readers to judge his errors and deficiencies with leniency.

How well we remember the last days of September, 1908, when we returned to the (hardly classic) shades of Richmond College, not as "rats,'¡ but haughty sophomores.

Sophomore!

Oh ! what a vast field is covered by that one small word. To the college man it is an advance to the cherished goal and indicates his entrance into a more dignified and important field of his college career. The changes experienced on becoming a sophomore are too numerous to narrate.

A few members of our class who were with us last year failed to return, but their places have been filled by other recruits, who are just as willing and enthusiastic if not so able, as the battletried ones,whom we miss so much. We started the fall term with the determination of capturing the majority of the honors, both academic and athletic, and our determination was not in vain.

The importance of the sophomore as a college factor was plainly displayed by his actions during the early clays of the session. It seemed to be his duty alone, to see that the "fre hmen" were made to feel at home, not having forgotten the numerous attentions he received the year before, he took a peculiar delight in performing this "duty" to the best of his ability.

Before many weeks had passed, the sophomores had buckled clown to their class work and were making earnest efforts to gather unto themselves the praises of the professors. On ~he other hand, in the class of 'II, there were ambitious men who desired honors in other fields than those purely academic. Many demonstrated their ability to play football every afternoon while the football season was with us, and by the coveted positions they won proved conclusively that their athletic ambition was not a mere "pipe-dream."

On the 'varsity were Captain Lankford, who played a star game at full, and Chambers (nmt) at right half was a consi tent ground gainer, besides being skilful in Siwty

kicking goals, while Ranson e (rat) at end was always sure to get his man. Also man y 'II men were enlisted in the rank s of th e "sc rub s."

The Thank giving holiday was observ ed with great feasting and celebrating, as our team had won a glorious victory over Rand olph-Mac on, and the men representing the sophomores proved a powerful factor in the victoriou st ruggl e. The bonfire and "s hirt " parad e which followed will be rem embe red by all who participated , especially the "rats" who, und er directi on of th e sophomores, thre w the barr el owners of the city into a perfect panic of anger and thirst for vengeance. But, lo ! how many of our thir sts are in vain?

Football sea on being ove r, our class turned its attention to th e fall examinations, which were not far off. Having pa sed th e exam inati ons success full y ( we hope), we spe nt the Chri stmas holidays at home and return ed rea dy for work on the first of January.

Track work now claim ed the attection of seve r3l of our members, and Meek and Lank fo rd won place on the relay team.

A t the call for candidates for th e ba eball team , a host of sop homores appeared on th e field. There are seve ral promi sing candidate s who will contribute to the laur els already won by members of the cla s of 'r r.

As we glance back ove r th e sess ion of 路os-路09, we feel assured that our time was well pent, not on ly in gaining wisdom from text-books, but also in learning to love and mingle with our classmates during the da ys that the dormitories held our bodies, but not always our mind s. During these happ y clay we have learn ed to sympathize with our fellows and to hold back th e love fo r "se lf, " ther eby accomplishing what wa best fo r the good and unity of the whole.

Af'ter ,this feeble effo rt th e writer lay down his pen with an incr.eased sense of unw orthine ss. However, he ha s clo ne his best, and "A ng els can do no more.路路 L et it uffice to say that we feel that th e clas s of '1 1 will in the near futur e accomplish much greater thing s than this sketc h would indicat e. Honor, prosperity and brilliant attainments lie befo re us. ll1ay the future declar e them our s !

'' Rat" Rabble ~ ~ ~~~ :':r.:

all ages, man has HROUGHOUT striven to surpass those who have gone before, and by some special achievement he has demonstrated the This advancement of the generation. is true in college life. Each year there comes up a new race, who are destined to surpass all predecessors, and those who so timidly entered here last September are beginning to realize that they are going to surpass all former You say you do not classes in attainments, and become great(?). believe it. Well, great men are never appreciated until they are gone. Ft111lwell do WE know our worth, and when we are gonesome of us becoming eloquent preachers, others eminent lawyers we will be remembered. (Biz-Wa.) and great statesmen-then Only a brief mention of our most noteworthy accomplishments can be set clown in our small space.

r,;:~~

Despite much laughter and scoffing from the seniors, we met on the seventh of December and organized the class, choosing the officers for this year and blue and white as our colors .

In athletics, the Rat class has been playing an important part, too . Several of our men made places on the 'varsity football team. While it is too early to know who will make the baseball team, a number of men have applied and bid fair to become good men.

Not the leas't important feature of our work has been the erntertainment of the Senior Klu Klux Klan and the sophomores during the wee small hours of morning. After the long hours spent in working over the problems for the next clay's lectures, they call upon some of us to entertain them and to rid themselves of cares. Frequently they are so late getting around that we have retired, bowevei, we are always so glad to see them that we get up and let them in. Their preference seems to be for some good old time, and if the night is pretty, we go out on the campus and beneath "The Greenwood Tree" sing the songs of long ago.

The K. K. K. is especially fond of athletics, and under their direction we have developed a splendid track team. During the track season a midnight meet was held on the campu . The chief event was a very exciting relay race. The course was first laid out and then men were put around the course to keep u from "cutting-in,'' and at the ame time they urged us on with nicely finished paddles. The relay was run promptly at I ,\. M. The exact time is not kno\\¡n, but we are certain that a new The medals, which were record was established-probably. large and very reel, were awarded back of the Science Hall. lt is with much regret that we learn that the K. K. K. ha bec1i disbanded and will no longer, as an organization, be in the college to fo.;ter athletics.

Iany more things have we accompli heel, but of these you will hear without the aid of the hi torian.

Gentle reader, marvel not that our history is short; we are young and our history is in the making; then modesty in such timid Rats a we are. forbids our proclaiming more of the things we have accomplished .

A Review During the period of three year , which has elapsed since the Spider of 19o6 was published, a great advancement in the athletics of Richmond Co lleg e may be clearly perceived, not measuring this succe s by the standard of championship, won or lost, but by the realization of the real, true benefits obtainable by the competition in sport. As proof, attention is called to the fact that within the la st few years the student body is gradually putting a ide the inten e, embittered feud engendered by politics which have waged furiously and perpetually during pa t decade ; and at present in the sel-ection for all phases of college life is endeavorof its representative ing to make merit, not pull, the determining factor. Hence, right men in the right places, fitted for their duties and backed by an entire. co-operative, adherent body.

Then. tGo the idea that the personnel of athletic teams was confined to one clas of students has been displaced, and in all branche of athletics are found ministerial and non-ministerial, "g rinds" as well as habitual fraternity and non-fraternity, sp lâ&#x20AC;˘endid co-ope ration and inwith unification loafers. This terest manifested recently by _certain members of the faculty, heretofore delinquent or simply sleeping, has been one immense element in the transformation which has been effected. ssociation has One innovation adopted by the Athletic of a graduate appointment the namely, uccess, great proved a manager to work in conjunctio n with the student manager ; to assist with hi . advice, to profit by hi s experience although not to direct nor to have higher authority than the students' Thus the grad uat e manager i found to erve representative. as a bridge over difficulties; a connecting link with the alumni, awakening and keeping arou eel their intere t in the welfare of Alma I\Iater.

Edward A. Dunlap, Jr. Edward A. Dunlap, Jr., came to Richmond College 111 September, 1905, to take charge of athletics. Since his arrival on the campus every branch of at hletics has had a wonderfu lly healthy growth, and a substantial growth .

The baseball and football team which he has turned out to repre ent the College, have been recognized throughout this State and Caro lina as teams of merit and ability, worthy of the best there is in any opponent. Track and field sports, which were unknown to Richmond College students, upon his arrival, have become more important each year, their growt h reaching a climax this year in the big indoor meet held in this city, the uccess of ¡which was largely due to his energy.

But the greatest benefit bis services have been, is the splendid r ecord he bas made, not in this school alone, but in the city of Richmond and the State at large, as an exponent of all that is clean and pure and manly in athletics. The recognized ervices of such a coach, will draw more attention to the College and be of far more va lue than all the championships wh ich might be won.

Football Season '08 HE football outlook at the beginning of the eason of 1908 was bright, notwiththey standing the loss of six stars-for the glorious team were all stars-from of 1907, perhaps the best trained and most capable team Richmond has ever sent on a field. With E. A. Dunlop returned as coach, G. W. Wright elected captain, all had hoped that history would repeat itself and another winning team be developed; but after the first game-a victory of l\Iaryland Agriculturial College-a hoodoo came into camp that never departed .

The foremost factor against a strong team was at once recognized in the calibre of the men likely to be slated for the first team, added to the fact that the dearth of uitable material was simply appalling. Ko experienced applicants of weight could be discovered, search high or low, and those who had the weight were unable to deliver the goods. Result, a light team, averaging in some contests fifteen pounds less per man than opponents, occasionally showing moments of brilliancy and speed, then dropping back into a mediocre capacity.

The afore-mentioned hoodoo came, took a chair, and never left. At every game it could be seen in its regular seat conspicuous in the grandstand and busily engaged in sending ou\ false hopes, disappointments and in continually separating many heckels from the pockets of the followers of the hard-earned Red and Blue. (Never again!) The injury to Captain Wright' knee, necessitating complete withdrawal from all contests, the ruling out, on a technical charge. of our star quarterback Atkins, the injuries of Davis and J ohnson, the losing of the Carolina game by a touchdown being caEed back by one of the officials, the loss of the Hampden- idney conte t by failure to kick goal and the victory of "William and Iary in the last twenty seconds day it may be pleasant to remember even these of play-"some things," but nay , not now.

Yet one ray of satisfaction may be seen still shining through Oh, you know the clouds of football wreck and unexpectedness. pink of condiin what it is! On November 29 Randolph-Macon, tion, trained to a finished fight even with the gods on Mt. Olympus, confident. so confident that the wood, steeped in the oil of victory and championship had already been piled on the Eight71-t11ree

campu s o f th e Lemon and B lack , came clown to conclude _a season with a rec ord of not being ¡cored on in any game. The fir st half end ed 2 - 0 in fa vor of As hland . Somewhat surpri sed at a totall y un ex pected r esistanc e and w_ith a tend ency for a balloon ascension if luck brok e again st th em , th e Y ellow Ja ckets began th e second half. Aft er fift een minut es of pla y the hoodoo received a w ir eless messa ge fr om th e l\av y at Philad elphia and wing ed his wa y. Th en something happened. Thrill s we hav e had- o f pleasur e, of fear . of sorrow and o f moonlight night sbut when "Tip'' Saund er s grabb ed that pig sk in and ran eightyfive yard s fo r a touchd own , th e most deliciou s emo tions o f abs olut e bliss, of joy . unkn o\rn and un sung , cam e ove r us all so that we can truthfull y say, " If an ything bett er exi sts, we hav e never fo und it. ., 6-2 wa s sufficient ; we didn 't need th e oth er touch down.

Prospectus for 1909 The baseball season for 1909 opened under the brightest prospect and every one has reason to believe that in tead of the hard luck stories of football and baseball champion hip games which have been so common during the past few years, the end of the current season will bring another championship cup to add to the Spider's collection.

Although it was impossible to get the Armory for indoor practice during the winter months , an early spring gave the boys a chance and early in March, Captain Lodge had a good big squad out each afternoon, running, throwing, and limbering up, so that when the warmer days should come, all the kinks would have been rubb ed out and everybody be ready for a good, hard season.

Becau e of graduation and absence from College for other causes, it was evident that the personnel of the team would l c very different from that of last year. The places of uch men a Denny Wright, Ike Gardner, "Madame" Handy, "Sugar" Wright and Bob Gwathmey would not be easily filled.

The early practice games have clearly demonstrated the fact. however, that from a fielding and especially a batting standpoim, the team of 1909 will probably be the strongest the Spiders have 1eredith and Clark, one a had in the field for everal years.

"Rat," the other a Senior, are improving with each game and when the championship games are pulled off in May will be ready to face the batters of Randolph-Macon. William and Mary and Hampden- idney in great form. The vacant places on the infield are filled by Jenkins, who will prove, it is believed, to be the best college second ba eman in Virginia, and Bob Beverly, while the outfield positions will be in the care of "Old Reliable," Tip Saunders, of footba11 and ba seball fame; Paul Snead, a rat from Fork Union, and "Skippy" Haislip. a sub. on last year's team. Ed. Gwathmey and Griffith are good reliable substitutes for the infield positions in case an emergency arises and Meredith while not pitching and Gwathmey may be safely used in the outfield.

The present ability of the team , especially the hard hitting tendencies of the whole bunch , are ground for believing that the team of 1909 wi11go down on record as the trongest the Spiders have ever put in the field.

Track athletics a. a branch of inter-collegiate sports was begun at Richmond College during th school year 19 5-06.

Previous to this time the College had only participated in track and field ports on the annual field clay, which i. in the nature of an inter-cla s meet. During the winter m onths of 1906, about fifteen men were out daily training for the different event .

Although during that year we clicl not have any individual point winners . the men gained much valuable expe ri ence which showed itself in following years.

That year at the first indoor meet given in Richmond, our men showed that they had the ''real stuff " and only time was needed to develop it, the relay team winning the mile relay race from vVilliam and Mary College.

In 1907 with the advantage of the previ ous year ¡s training the men showed great advancement and a well balanced team of stout and middle distance runners, and men in field events were turned out. During this season the College was represented at .\t two indoor meets, one at Norfolk and one at Richmond. illiam W ¡ with race relay Xorfolk the relay team won the mile and Mary College; Gooch won the 50-yards op n dash, and l\[iller won the 16-pound shot put. In the Richmond indoor meet our relay team, composed of Gooch, Captain; Luck, Louthan and Richard son, lo t the mile relay to Georgetown University after a hard fight: Richardson won the 50-yards dash, and l\Iille r the 16pouncl shot put, with a put of 37 feet , 9 inches, making a new record for -the State .

During thi s season Richmond Colleo-e held her first outdoor meet on the State fair ground . The different colleges and schools repre sented at this meet were the University of Virginia . liege, Rand olph \ ' irginia Polytechnic Tn titute, Richm ond were Richmond ls schoo fittinothe Mary; l\Iacon, \i\Tilliam and niThe l\IcGuires. and chool, h .ichmond Academy, High total in second, College versity of Virginia won, with Richm ond number of point won. Richardson won the JOO and 220 yards clashes with Bristow third in the TOO yards dash; E. M. J--outhan third in the +40 yards clash and fourth in the mile. Miller won fir t in the hammer throw, second in the shot put, third in the .

120 yards hu relies. and third in the broad jump. Robert son won seco nd in the hammer throw.

Si11cty-t1co

During the season 0£ 1907 the relay team, composed of Louthan, Captain; Waite, Bristow and Meek, di I not meet with a single defeat, winning relay race from the Gniversity of Maryland, farylancl Agricultural and twice defeating Georgetown University relay team. At the indoor meet in Richmond that season the manager failed to match the College relay team.

Captain Louthan, who was entered in the open events, captured the 440 yard da h from such men as Rector, of the University of Virginia, and the 880 yards from Conner , of Wesleyan University. Orr won second in the shot put.

The ea on of 1908-1909 opened with the vacant places made by graduation of Louthan and Waite to be filled. Lodge and Lankford were picked to fill the relay team . Although not meeting with a much success as the year before, the team ran some hard races and should develop into a wonderful team in another year. At the first indoor meet of Richmond College, held on the 27th of February at the Hor e Show Building, it drew such teams as the Univer ity of Virginia, John's Hopkins, Georgetown, George VI/a hington, \i\Testern Maryland, Washington and Lee, William and Mary, Randolph-Macon, Baltimore City College, of Philadelphia, Episcopal High School, Brown Preparatory cademy, Richmond High Cluster pring Academy, Richmond chool, McGuires, and several other organizations. In this meet Bristow was the only individual point winner, winning the 50yards dash from such men as Stanton and Burke, of Virginia, and Stollenwerch, of John's Hopkins. The relay team, composed of Bristow, Captain; Meek, Lodge and Lankford, won the mile relay race from Randolph-Macon and William and Mary. Then only a few minutes later lost the final mile relay of the evening to George Washington by a close margin.

You can judge by what was . aid by those who took part as competitors and those who witnes ed it from a spectator's point of view, that it was a success from an athletic as well a a financial stand point. And Richmond College should now feel it her duty to all other colleges and schools and herself to bring these colleges together annually at this meet, and to see that everything that can be clone for th ir interests i looked after; hould this plan that fairness shall be the basis of all decisions. be carried out from year to year, track ·athletics will soon hold an equal footing with the other branches of athletic sports of Richmond College.

Histor y October ro, 18--1-6,the \Vashington and olurnbian Literary societies met in joint ses ion and organized the Mu Sigma Rho Society which held its first meeting under that name October 17, of the same year.

At this meeting \Villiam Royster was elected their first president, and a constitution and by-laws were drawn up. From the old record the first program was a very spicy one, the question for debate being, ··Js success in life, owing more to native and original talent, or to perseverance?"

The negative side won the deci ion.

For three year after the time of organization the Society met in the cademic Hall. From February, 18--1-9, until October 13, 1853, it met in the ollege Chapel. Hut the spirited and ambitious men of the Society could not bear the thought of meeting as a Literary Society in the same room, in which at certain time of the year, they had to sit and puzzle over the much dreaded examinations: thus, they decided to leave the chapel.

After obtaining permission from the faculty. and at much expense to themselve they hand omely fiitted up the hall which to the present has been occupied by the Society.

The prominent lawyer , doctors, preachers, and business men that have gone forth from her halls speak a worthy tribute to the high standard of training given by the Society. Not only did she fit them for the great responsibilities of lif e, but, in the bloody struggle of 1861-5, her sons were ever at the front fighting for a cau e which they held sacred. During those trying clay the College was closed, but when it re-opened in 1866, Mu Sigma Rho Society immediately reorganized.

At this meeting there were present Messrs. C. Bryce. B. Code, J. T. Carpenter, E. B. Chaney. H. Ford, 0. W. Hugart, T. Hughes, C. T. James. and Profes ors Harri s and Harrison.

C. T. James was elected president.

Before the interruption cau ed by the war, the Society published two magazines. From 1851 to 1859. she published the "Gladiator," a magazine which was written by hand an l read before the meeting . of the ociety. From T858 to 1860, "The .Afu Sig111aRho11iu111, Star" wa published. This also was written by hand and showed much talent and perseverance.

On October 1 1. 1855. a number of the Mu Sigma Rho member withdrew and formed the Philologian Literary Society. \Ve are now in the fifty-ninth year of our existence and are bound closely together, keeping constantly before us the three objects inscribed on our badge and adopted as our motto.

Histor y Up to the beginning of the sess ion 1855-56 1 there had been only one litera ry soc iety at Richm ond College, th e l\Iu Sigma Rho. Thi s society had bec ome ove rcrowded; there was n o rivalry and society work was devo id of int erest and life. So, dis atisfied with thi s state of affairs, on the night of October 8, 1855, a small number of society memb ers , toget her with a few students not belonging to the l\ru ' igma Rh o, met, in ord er to .. make arrangement s for organizing a new socie ty."

At this me eting \V. L. Penick presided and appointed Dr. \\'m. E. Hatcher chairman of a committee to draw up a constituti on and by-laws for the new organiza tio n. .\ t the suggestion of Dr. C. H. Ryland ··Philologian"' wa s adopted as the society name. Thre e night s later a body of six teen st udents accepted the constitution and by-law s prcsemecl by Lhc comm itt ee, and on October 12 , 1855, the ocicty wa s fornnlly organized with vV. L. Penick as pr es ident.

The Society immediately entered up on it s literr ay work with that zest, vig or and earnestness , hich ha s eve r since been ch arOne week after orga nization the first acteristic of Philologians. ect for debate being, ··Docs the A nsubj e th held, exercises were ticipati on of the Future or th e Memory of the Past Afford Greater Plea urc to the Mind ?"

The new organizati on grew and pro sper cl until the Civi l War stopped eve rything. The last regular meet ing befo re the uspension wa . held on April 12, 1861, and on April 22, at a called meeting th e body wa s ..adjourned for an indefinite space of tim e ...

This "'indefinit e space of time .. end ed in the fa ll of 1867, ,,·hen the Society was reorganized with three fo rm er m embers and twenty- one new one . During th e followi ng spr ing the present hall o f th e Society was furni shed, and ever since that time the Philologian Soc iety ha s met regularly during each session of Richmond Colleg .

The Philologian Society "ha s always stood for honest. thorough and hard work... She is I roud of th e college honor s her m ember s have won. of the achi eve ment s of her num erous alumni. and of her high standard s of work and fell owship. Thus. sta nding upon th e sur e fo und ation laid in the small beginning of long ago. and rejo icing in her present prosperity, she looks to the futur e with eve r incr eas ing hope and determination to ··at tain to th e goal sugges ted in the motto of ou r 1\ ssoc iati on.

History

By Mary \,Vortl ey Mo nta gue and Noland Hubba rd.

N th e yea r of our L ord, 1904, a sma ll band of noble and talented yo ung women, fo rming the august body whici{ ha s since developed into the Chi Epsilo n Literary Society, that all important and powerful fact or of Richmond College, met in the spaciou s hall to the left as you ente r th e re sidence of our much beloved and honored president. :?\ever are we so mu ch impr essed by the present conceptions of Darwinism, as when we stud y th e histo ry of the noble institutions of whi ch we are all proud of being members.

Fo r man y yea r s the Chi Epsilon domiciliated th e above mentioned abode. Here we see our Society in embr yo. Lik e our pilgrim fathers they were weak in numb ers, but strong and steadfast in their resolution. As the great philosopher and his distinguished pupi l, He rbert Spencer, have pointed out- eve ry species is evolved from some other species . So we may truly say that the Chi Eps ilon has passed through an evoluti on, a great uph eavel. Da rwin says the cause of this is natural selection.

The minutes of the first meeting r ead as fo llows: ''The regular meeting of the Chi Eps ilon Lit erar y Society was held on Friday, Feb ru ary 13, 1904. Very littl e was accomp lished as most of the time was spent in giggling. " Right here we notice a very perceptible trait of our ancestors-the monkeys, which by the way, we haven't gotten rid of yet.

This evolut ion has been one of organic growt h. After the primitive age of giggli ng was past, ou r predecessors reach ed the second or chattering age. They chatt ered and chattered.

The body gradually began to wave, and slow ly yet sur ely the heat increased, until the then smoldering as hes bur st fo rth in the great eru ption of 1909. It being quit e stro ng now the fury was all the greate r. When the smoke and fumes graduall y lifted the once famous and noble body sank back to a ve ry small body. exhausted by its supe rhum an stru gg le.

CH r EPS ILON SOCIETY .

One thing more mu st be aclclecl. It was a struggle for the survival of th e fittest. Of the few surviv ors of th e hard wint er of 1909 on the bleak and unresponsive coast of Richmond College, all are at the pre!"ent clay preacefully and cheerfully accepting the out come of the strugg le as inev itabl e and side by side as companions in misery th e body is by degrees gathering new life and st rengt h so that now it is vigorous enough to tak e ,trong food. ( R efres hm ent s are serv ed after every meeting. ) \N e ma y safely prophesy that the futur e -of the Chi Epsilon will be yet more glorious than its already glorious pa st, as we proudly and undauntedly fo llow our high colors of gold and royal purple, and adhere strict ly and conscientiously to our mott o, 'â&#x20AC;˘Equal right s to a ll and spec ial privileges to non e."

Histor y The College Young Men 's Christian Association is the . pi ritual organization for the student body. It i to the spiritual life what the Athletic ssociation is to the physical-what the lecture room is to the mental.

The Athletic Association exists not because it is nece. ary to the ollege to maintain such an organization, but becau e it is essential for the maintenance of athletics.

Certain individuals would take exercise of some sort even if there were no athletics, but we should have no system for physical development.

And if there were no Young Men ¡s Christian Association, there would be hristians among the . tudents who would cultivate the spiritual life, but there would be n organization lo as . emble the students for mutual helpfulness and encouragement.

No matter how pious the individual life may be, yet we need that buoyancy which comes from associating with our fellow students . The Young Men's Christian Association furnishes an opportunity for bringing together the religious forces in order to strengthen the moral life of the institution.

All students are influenced either directly or indirectly, by the s oc1at1on, and as it is to the best interest of all to have a spirit of congeniality, we cannot urge too zealously that each student lend his influence. both by atendance and by becoming a member. to make the Young Men' Christian sOne JT11nclre,i and, Ji'orty -seren

sociat1on the most potent factor in creating and maintammg a spirit of loyalty and good fellowship. Let no one entertain for a moment the idea that the Young "Nien' hristian Association is intended for any special clas . The law student a \\'ell as the academic, the non-Christian as well as the Christian, hould feel that it is his privilege to become a member of the A ociation and to enjoy its benefits. 'nder the auspices of the Young :Men's Christian As ociation the following missionary cla se are conducted: Uplift of China, taught by Dr. Harris: Challenge of the City, by Dr. Bingham ; Moslem World, by l\Ir. T. E. Peter ; '·Call. Qualification and Preparation of 1Iissionary Candidates,'' studied by the \ 'olunteer Band.

Until recently the Young ":\Ien·s Christian A sociation had under its control three Bible classes. These are now a part of the College curriculum.

The incrca eel popularity of these classes indicates the wisdom of the change. The interest of the Young Men ·s Christian Association in Bible study is not waning because of the change. Every year a committee is appointed to solicit students for these cla. ses. Professors Whitsett. Gaines. and Harris have rendered excellent services as teachers and deserve special mention.

Messr . I. D. S. Knight. J: D. Hill, and B. L. Rhodes represented the Young ":\Ien's Christian ssociation at the tudents' Bible Conference, held in Columbus, Ohio.

The influence of the You no- :\[en' Chri tian As . ociation is not confined to the College . Committees are appointed to arrange for services at the Confecl rate oldiers' Home, City Alms House, , tale Prison, and the Home for Incurables.

Christian students are invited to participate in this work. This affords an opportunity to encourage and cheer the unfortunate and at the ame time to strengthen and develop their own piritual lives.

The Volunteer Banc\ of Richmond College has this year an enrolment of ten. This is the largest membership it has ever had. The record shows that the work of the Volunteers, as an organization, has been more interesting and helpful to the individual members and more significant to both the student body and the public than at any previous time in its history. A definite course of study-The Call, Qual ification and Preparation of Missionary Candidates-with written reports on the various phases of missionary work, has been followed.

This year, the Band has taken a more prominent part in the work of the City Volunteer Band. At the Student Mass Meeting, held in the First Baptist Church, under its auspices, the Richmond College Band took part in the program. A supper was given after which a conference was held with a view to establishing mission study classes . Delegates from fifty representative churches and educational institutions were invited . The Richmond College Banc\ was actively engaged in this work.

The future of the Band is bright. It is aspiring to and planning an educational line of work which, on the field, will prove a life-long benefit. May its ideal in the future be no less than in the present-a thorough, practical, intellectual and spiritual preparation.

and JONES, Counsel for Plaintiff.

TERRELLand ATKINS, Counsel for Defendant.

GRIFFITH

The plaintiff, one Henry Powell bargained to swap a bottle of hair tonic to the defendant Byrd, dea ler in anything he could get at a reduced price, from a shoestring to a Cassie Chadwick note; he, the said Byrd, promising in consideration thereof to deliver unto the said Powell in exchange another bottle of hair tonic with ten cents "to boot."

Byrd, the defendant, claimed that Powell had fraudulently induced him to enter into the contract and refused to make payment of the "boot money." .lncessant argument having ensued between Powell and Byrd as to their rights, and each knowing the parsemonious propensities of the other, legal advice was sought and the case came to trial before his colossal highness, Emillius M. Long, C. J. Defence: Set off and recoupment Sec. 3299, Code of Virginia.

P laintiff being called, qualified as a witness, gave in evidence the circumstances which led to the contract and the recommendations of the druggists who had sold the hair ointment to him .

The recommendations were that the tonic was a positive eradicator of dandruff and perfect food for the hair. This evidence was objected to by the defendant on the ground that the druggists status was professional but inauthenticated, therefore merely hearsay, traders and shop talk. The objection was overruled, the court being in doubt and wishing to see authority.

One TJm,r/rcl1 crnrl , 'c1¡cnty -t11ree

Terrell cross-questioning to show that the contract wa 111duced by fraud, asks the witne : "Does not the defendant often enter your room in jest?" \Vitne s: "No, he usually enters in the afternoon."

The plaintiff now becomes annoyed by the questions of the counsel and a ks permission to speak a word in hi own behalf.

It wa duly granted and he began as follows: "Gentlemen of the jury, I am 11 lawyer such a , Drutus was, but as there i no customs prevailing in the Cnited tates which may be taken as law, a there was in England when this great man ruled there without being reversed a single time, I venture on this "excussion .. to e. tablish a point of law \rhich will go clown among the annals of history. ?\ow, gentlemen. my ' Ole object in prosecuting this case i the 'Levandoe Novis Causa." ·• A dispute now arose between Terrell and .\tkin as to which \\"aS leading coun el for the def en. e. ..\fter hearing their arguments the court decided in the affirmative, grounds for decision being. ''The lesser of two evils shall prevail."

The "Levan does" were then answered but with little sati faction .

The defense called and qualified one l\leek, a student ( ?) to prove that the tonic \\·as '·nullum bonum'' and to how by test that it would turn one's hair red.

The plaintiff objected on the ground that all points to be proved by te t were admitted.

The curiosity of the court, however, cau eel the objection to be overruled.

Th .e result was that the witnesses' hair turned to a lovely verrnillion, color of the defendant's face. The foreman of the jury, one \i\Toodson, 'then ask . if anything was said in the bargain about using the tonic for red-headed people. The judge thinking they were trying to bamboozle him, severely reprimanclecl the jury.

The "Jay" Byrd chirped an anthem, "O Tempora ! 0 ::\lore.-! !" He then testified as to his legal standing at Common Law and that the plaintiff, Powell, was a falsifyer "ab initio," and further prayed the court to instruct the jury to e,·ernpt him from judgment on the above ground and that it would be contrary to the generosity of the law to take him out of .. catusquo ;" that furthermore and above all things, that the plaintiff's obj ct was "lucri causa turpissi1110." Ile, the defendant, further tales that he being a lawyer, holding and possessing one legal mind, verily believes and affirms that Lord Blackberry ha.- laid clown the rule in equity that a party to an action who voluntarily goe into •·toctts poc11itc11tiac"is thereafter irnrnuned and relieved of all disastrous consequences of such action. IIe then begs leave of the court to bring forward the "Keeper of the Rolls'' to verify hi statement, which is accordinaly done.

Terrell for the defense: "Your Honor, we beg that you keep order in the court room while we proceed further in the case."' ",Mr heriff, please swear jn the JTon. Dr. A. J. Chewning. Jr., Esq." Onr TT1t11cll'r!l an!l , 'rrrnly-{011,·

This affidavit which I am now on the vVitness proceeds: verge of giving is, if I ain't interrupted by the counsel for the plaintiff, about the hopes and aspirations of two of our most noted citizens of the Old Dominion. \ Vhile they are not men you might call noted, they are men who would make their mark in this world if they only had a chance. If I may be pardoned for fulfilling the predictions of the Holy Book, I will now place before you the names of the best known citizens of V irginia, whose names no doubt arc standing out in your minds above all others even before I have mentioned them . But for the sake of those who have not had the opportunity to become well posted I will recite their names, viz., Hon. A. J. Chewning, Jr., Esq., and the Hon. J. A. Byrd, of ccornac.

And foremost of them all is none but the former who has been located at this glorious institution since September 16, 1890, and who has carried off more honors from Richmond College than the grand Old Dominion can ever hope to bestow upon one citizen. Lend me your ears a moment and I ·will relate the history of the latter. In 1888 there wa born upon Hog Island near the hamlet of Chincoteague. forty miles east of vVachapreague in the county of Accomac one babe in the shape and form of John Abbot Byrd. In the month of nlarch, 1908, the wise men of the \Vest came to anoint and shroud him in the robe of track team manager.

If you all knew John A. Byrd as I do, your verdict would be '· 11ot gu,ilty !" There remains in my mind no doubt but that he was induced to enter into this bargain by undue influence, fraud . duress and error . \Ve have proven to you that vV. H . Powell, contriving to defraud, told our humble defendant that he, Byrd, would be making three cents as clear as a whistle by closing the aforesaid bargain. :;--;ofair-minded jury will uphold such trickery and undue influence as this. And each of you jurors now have the opportunity to place yourselves on an equal footing with A. J. Chewning. Jr .. and J. A. Byrd, of Accomac, the rover of the sea.

The counsel for the respective parties having closed their argument, the court instructed the jury in an able manner and then collapsed in a state of extreme exhaustion from the terrible nervous and mental strain.

The poll of the jury resulted four for the defendant and six for the plaintiff. The foreman, taking counsel of the hour of the night, flipped a coin to decide the issue. Six honest citizens gazed upon the upturned face of the lnclian and felt that they had been in error ( for want of sleep). Unanimous verdict was thereupon awarded for the plaintiff and judgment was given for the great sum of ten cents, which judgment has never, even unto this clay. been satisfied.

Then came one Handy, tall and fair, To join the Ttirkeys, And Stringy (Ed.) did count it rare To join the Turkeys; When out spake Griff, a gobbler old. ··:-Iy room I at your service hold," They entered all, for very bold Were all the Turkeys.

The decks were quickly fetched by l\Teek To give the Turkeys.

And Father Cole some chips did seek To give the Turkeys; Then "all-night" Craft with table came.

Then Gus of Zeek to bank the game, :\ncl Piker Dyrd, a dreaded name, ,\mong the Turkeys.

For deal, the custom was to cut Among the Turkeys, Jt fell to Rich, so proud to strut Among the Turkeys: Old Irving then did wink his eye, As Little Lodge out loud did cry, "Put up, Stringy, you're always shy" Among the Turkeys.

Then song-bird Cutchins showed his hand To all the Turkeys, Five aces ! ! hard to understand!

Young Clarke a cigarette did bum From one the Turkeys, vVhile vVooclwarcl chewed his quid so grum, Among the Turkeys, And Totsy clown the score did jot, As tight-wad Spencer grabbed the pot, When cold-foot Haislip downward shot To quit the Turkeys.

The midnight hours rushed quickly on Upon the Turkeys, Till Sheppard tramped 'pon a corn Of one the Turkeys; Judge Snellings to his bed did rush, As Sinton goosed him with a brush; The curtain rose, bright morn did blush Upon the Turkeys.

Soon bull-luck Smith snatched up his coat, To leave the Turkeys.

A rap brought heart into the throat Of every Turkey; Just then the door was opened wide, Lo ! Doctor Harris walked insicle¡Twas Judgment day, you bet your hide, For all the Turkeys.

A LITTLE EXPLANATION Oh ! yes, we have been kidnapping , we don't deny that; but we would not hav e yo u think for a moment that we were scheming for money. H oweve r, we have the boys and we will liberate them on r ece ipt of our Greek and English diplomas.

Our Club is young; also, the individual s are very yout hful.

I supp ose this stat em ent and our appearance would be more consiste nt but fo r th e short not ice we had before meeting the picture man.

The fir t time he made our picture s we were at our best, but he came back when w e were least expecting him , and said h e had mended hi s camera and was willing to try us once more.

He did, and here ·s to "P ied mont ," the granc\e t sect ion of the Old Dominion.

Senior Will E, the Clas of 1909 of Richmond College, Richmond, Va., our age averaging omewhat over twenty-one years and the maj orit y of us, at lea t, being of sound mind, rem embering our own trouble s of the past and desiring that tho se who follow u hall profit by our tribu lations. make thi s last will and testament , to take effect June 16, 1909, hereby rev oking all previous wills, and jointly and seve rally di pose of all our posse sions and privileges in manner and form as follows, to-wit: I. We divi se our mo st excellent athletic field, on which is the newly erected and modern equipped gymnasium, to tho e martyrs who sha ll \\'ear the Red and Blue on fields of honor in the clay to come, hop ing that they shall prepare them elves each aftern oon to properly appreciate and be able to derive the greate st amount of benefit fr om th e tile covered bath-house and tho se toi-rid bowe r bath .

II. O ur law librar y, which will be found in the lower left hand rear corner of the big building , presided over by moths and cock-roaches, we will and bequeath to tho se deluded and dejected mortals who ma y be induced to enter our law schoo l, hoping points that they will be able to find th erein-s omewhere-the of law involved in i\Ic:Neill's Equity Exams. (we couldn't).

III. J ohn Abbott Byrd desire s that some financial fanatic shall inherit his second-hand B. and H. lamp, desiring that the legatee shall execute sufficient bond to guarantee that it will 'be poli heel up and sold to some inn ocent and un suspecting Rat for three times it s true value.

IV. ur loving "Prof ." ( ?) William La Foushee is relegated to the dark and unfath omed reces ses of the law office of John Garland Pollard, trusting that he will never be allowed to get loose again.

V. The Law Cla s bequeath those elegant plush-covered reclining chairs in the Senior Law Room to some richly endowed ~anitoriurn or ho spital hoping that they might furnish some conunvalescing patient with many happy hour s in the gloriou hine . O ur motive for this bequest is that we find them too comfortable for hard work and prefer stool .

VI. vVe bequeath, with no fear that the privilege will be abused, to the present ·'rat'' class, the inalienable right to instruct tho e who will be rats next year, their proper place upon all occasions, and how to conduct themselves under all circumstances, in manner best suited to their position and most calculated to teach them the lofty plane in which the upper class-men move and have their being. If the legatees under this section should fail to discharge this trust, they may be impeached by a quorum of the Junior Class, who shall have full authority to take cognizance of the whole affair and conduct it along lines they may think right and proper and conducive to the welfare of the student body.

COLLEGE,

Sept. 20th, ·08.

My dear Pa, Brother Harry and me both got here yesterday and wish we had never got here at all. There's more dudes around here than any place I ever saw and they don't even give us a nod when we speak to them. There was two fellows came around yesterday evening and asked us for two dollars a piece for the Atherletic Association. They was mighty kind so we gave them the money but to-day they wouldn't even speak to u . Professer Gane~, the long one the boys call \i\Thiskeys, made our arrangement for classes this morning. From \\·ay he talks he must know everything in the world. He says he has got a hawse just like that old sorrol mare of Cousin Sam's, except his is a thurrowbred .

Me and Harry have the same Latin class together, Latin A .

We cannot read it much yet for ourse lves but what do you spose Professer Dicky told us was in it? He said a man name Caesar threw a bridge clear cross one them old time rivers a quarter of a mile wide . Tf Professer Dicky wont lying about it that man Cesar must have been strong for fair. I couldn ·t have thrown a rock cross it.

Theys got a Yankee down here showing them how to run with a big ball and knock one another over. He wants me to dres s up like the rest and come out to-morrow, but you know Ma told me to let all them kind of games alone. Is the corn all cut down yet? I wi h we was back there instead of in this place. The Faculties are mighty nice to us but the others don't notice us.

Please write to us real soon. I believe our money will hold out a long time. Give our best love to Ma and Sister Sallie. and tell her to make us a cake. \i\Te are going around to the Y. M .

C. A. to-night.

Your loving boy, CLARE 'CE

Dear Father, Your letter enclosing check for twenty-five dollar s as per my request, came last week and was enjoyed as usual. I was grieved, however to note that 1\Iother was hurt by her accident. You had better have a trained nur e to attend her.

Harry and I are just returned from the annual Thanksgiving game 111 Iewport News. We had a swell time, the odds were in our favor you see. Plenty good-looking calico on the train On a Il1mdre£l anll Ninety-nine

comrng back. Tell ister Sallie not to send tho e yarn socks she knitted for me. They are too coarse and hay-seedy to be of any use.

And pray don ¡t keep asking me about my classes. I attend regularly and am doing a well with my studies as the average student. , vould write more but promised to go to the show with ome of the boys to-night. Harry unite in sending love.

Affectionately, (L/\RENCE.

1\1.\Y 1 3, '09.

Dear Father, I would have answered you r letter sooner but pressing engagements have prevented a reply until now.

I fear Dr. I3oat wright was mistaken about my being addicted to drink and the story in the paper about my being pulled by the police along with other disorderly students i absolutely without foundation.

You a keel why my board bill was higher. , veil I couldn"t relish that grub at the refectory so am boarding up on 1\Ionument Avenue.

Its certainly no use of your corning down to investigate as Dr. Boatwright requested you in his la t letter. ,v e don't play cards here for money and the r eport wa only a willful lie by one of the Jaspers.

The last check was not enough so please send thirty next time. And I have a doctors bill to pay also so you can make it fifty.

Mu t stop now and dress for a soiree down at the club.

Your devoted on, CLARENCE.
