ROGER GREGORY. T is much regretted that unavoidable limitations of space will p revent an adequate expression of ap preciation of JU DGE GREG ORY'S character, and of h is m erits as a teacher of the law. A biographical sketch will not be at tempted. Were it not for his extreme modesty, and his r etiring nature, JUDGE GREG ORY mig ht have been elevated to public positions of the highest honor and trust, for he is singularly qualified to discharge public duties with eminent satis faction. He is n ot, however, without public experience, and he has adorned every office h e has held. It can be truly said of him, that " office, power, and public honors, he never sought. They sought him, and never found him prepared to welcome them, except as a se nse of d uty commanded." But in any record of his achievements, his work as a teacher of the law de serves grateful and signal commendation. And it will be no disparagement of his distinguished services to his State to say that, perhaps, his greatest achievement has been the successful upbuilding of the Law School at Richmond College. When he assumed the arduous duties of his position as a teacher of the law at Richmond College in the autumn of 1890, t he almost insuperable difficulties that confronted him were disheartening in the extreme. The number of students in his classes w as small. He labored without the inspiration and stimulating influence of a large audience. He had no assistant. The whole burden of the work, and the entire responsibility of its success or failure, rested upon him alone. It was a severe test of his c haracter, and of h is merits as a teacher. And, in the retrospect, it must be a source of d elight to him, as it is certainly gratifying to his friends and former stu dents, far and near, to know that complete success has crowned his efforts. And year after year, as t he law school has grown and prospered, the quality of his con structive work has become more and more apparent. JUDGE GREG ORY possesses in h igh degree the rare faculty, not only of im part ing knowledge, but of c reating a thirst for knowledge. He has made the law attrac tive to his students; and under his exposition " the gladsome light of jurisprudence " takes on new lustre. In his m anner JUDGE GREGOR Y is uniformly courteous, direct, and sincere. He " h onors every truth by u se." He has acquired, without conscious effort, the love a nd admiration of ever y st udent at Richmond College who has come within the influence of his noble nature ; and he will always be esteemed by th em as o ne, " Who still can bear without reproach (Profaned by every charlatan) The grand old name of gentleman." 7

N the eighth day of June, 1830, some of the delegates to the Baptist General Association of Virginia organized the " Virginia Baptist Education Society." For two years this Society aided young men, studying for the ministry, by assisting them to attend private schools. The Society then bought a farm near Richmond, and on the fourth day of July, 1832, opened a manual labor school called The Virginia Baptist Seminary. Rev. Robert Ryland was made President. In December, 1833, the Seminary was moved to the present site of Richmond College, which was then half a mile from the city's western boundry. The number of students soon increased to seventy. These were taught by Dr. Ryland and two assistant tutors. The course of study extended through four years and concluded with Geometry, Latin, Greek, Natural and Moral Science, while Theology was an optional study. By an Act of Assembly passed March 4th, 1840, the Seminary was chartered as RICHMOND COLLEGE. The Charter provided that no theo logical professorship should be established in the College, and although this proviso is omitted in the present Charter, obtained in 1858, no course in theology has been offered since 1840. The actual transfer of property from the Society to the Trustees occurred January 1st, 1843. At this time the grounds and buildings were worth $20,000, while the library contained 700 volumes used by sixtyeight students. Although the College now had the right to grant degrees, they did not do so until six years later. The north wing of the main building, now known as Robert Ryland Hall, was erected in 1855, at a cost of $25,000. The endowment at this 15

time was a bout $75,000, while the number of students had reached 161. At the outbreak of the Civil War the doors of the College were closed, while students and professors went to the defense of their country. The buildings served the Confederates as a hospital for some time, and for eight months after April, 1865, they were used as barracks by Federal troops. When the trustees finally regained possession they were met by a scene of desolation. The library had been carried off, equipment of every kind destroyed, and even the doors torn from their hinges and the floors broken. Threefourths of the endowment had been converted into Confederate bonds and was lost. The Trustees, however, did not lose heart but set to work to repair their losses. They began by building up the endowment and erecting two cottages. In 1873 the Virginia Baptist General Association raised and paid to the College treasury $150,000 for its permanent endowment. This year the central part of the main building was erected at a cost, with all alter ations to the north wing, of $50,000. In 1877 additional grounds, giving the present eastern front, were acquired at a cost of $24,000. In June 1884, the keys of the Library, erected in memory of Rev. J. P. Jeter, D. D., president of the Board of Trustees, were turned over to the College. In 1886 President Ryland resigned after thirtyfour years of service, and Rev. T. J. Jones, D. D., was chosen in his place.

He served for

only three years. No one was elected to succeed him, but Professors Puryear and Harris served as Chairmen of the Faculty for varying periods until 1895, when Prof. Frederick W. Boatwright was made President. In 1889 several old buildings were demolished and four residences for professors, a Refectory and Gymnasium and a large hall for students erected in their places. In 1899 Science and Memorial Halls were erected at a cost of $45,000. In 1902 the United States Government paid $25,000 to the College for damage done by their troops during the war. Recently $100,000 has been added to the endowment. The College has now 250 students and sixteen instructors. The buildings, grounds and equipment are valued at $750,000. The endowment amounts to $375,000, partly in stocks, which, at present value, adds about $150,000 to this amount. l6

crnor JEW (story. 'N all the world who has a work like that of the Class Historian? We may look for such an one, but he is not to be found. Many are there who write: various are their subjects and divers are their purposes: but the scribe of a student gene ration stands out distinctly from them all. He is the representative of a body singularly linked by the ties of democracy and fraternity. For four years they have been more intimately associated than they will ever be in another organization. And not only that: but at the time of his writing, that body stands on the verge of dissolution.

matter how close the association has been, nor how enthusiastic its esprit de corp s, h enceforth it ceases to be a unit, and exists only in its cherished memories. No wonder then if the present Historian writes with a touch of regret: for while his pen marks the beginning of the larger future, it also signifies the end of the happy days at Alma Mater. But turning aside from such unpleasant cogitations, the writer will now pen the history of the '06 Class, as delivered to him in a vision by Shaddin the Wise. When the citadel Richmond had been built 63 years, there came to the throne a new sovereign, who is known as Frederick, the great king. And when he had reigned six years, the glory of his kingdom had spread 27

over the great seas and to the remote corners of the earth.

For this

monarch with his knights and vassals, and according to the advice of the forty fathers, called Trustees, waged great wars; and all the neighboring people stood in great awe and fear of the Blue and Crimson banner, which was the standard that King Frederick's men bore to victory. And the armies of the king greatly vexed that citadel which was founded in the reign of the great king of Orange, and which was the second built on this side of the great sea. But glory had now departed from it and sat on the diadem of King Frederick. Likewise that tribe which is called "Biblets" was in great fear, lest they should be put out of existence by Frederick's men called "Spiders." These are among the tribes, which, from the earliest times, had dwelt around Richmond, but they had all become so reduced that none of them had as many men as served King Frederick, and the glory of them all was not equal to his glory. In this year four wise men in the four corners of the earth beheld the brightness of the star which was in King Frederick's diadem and heard of the splendor of his court, and the pleasant country over which he ruled, and they decided to come to Richmond, and to be citizens of that State. One, a decendant of the great Robert Bruce, came from the land of his fathers in the far north east and crossed the great sea called Atlantic, and met one from the far north west, from the land of the Dacotahs where Hiawatha won his bride in the days of yore; and these met one from the far south west and one from the south east, and they settled in the country of the great king. For a year they lived quietly, and the king did not perceive what great men had come to dwell in his kingdom. The next year there came a host, which followed in the steps of the four wise men, and it was plain that they were a different people from any which had dwelt in the country before, and they called themselves Men of NaughtySix. hrom the beginning these men had great popularity, even at the midnight hour, and although dressed in scant attire, they would come forth for the amusement of their fellow citizens. Some ran races on two feet, some on all four, some engaged in boxing matches or other sports, 28

one gave an oration on the duties of a freshman, another made love to a third, a fourth seated in the top of of tree, rendered a solo "Home Sweet Home." Now the king perceived that these were extraordinary men, and was greatly puzzled as to what to do, so he sent a messenger to Delphi to consult the Oracle of A pollo, and called together his council called Faculty. This was the most godlike assembly which had ever served a king, and Frederick owed much of his success to its wise counsels. First came Frederick, like unto Jupiter himself, with an air of superiority and a calm serenity which showed that he was removed far above ordinary humanity, and conscious of his final triumph. Then came Duke Charles of Winston, like unto Vulcan, with the signs of the forge upon him—sometimes called "Tricky" on account of his wiles. Then Judge Roger of Gregory, renowned for his wisdom. Then Duke Robert, of the ancient and honorable house of Gaines, called "Whiskers," on account of his historic hairy visage, and renowned for his perennial pointless jokes. Then with a martial stride and a look of uncon cern came Duke William who rules over that province called Greek, and Duke Heth, the smiling champion of those known as Phil—familiarly called "Uncle Billy." Then Duke Samuel, the sternbrowed interpreter of causes and results in history. Next advanced Duke William, decendant of the farfamed Foushees, and likened unto Apollo in his dealings with the fair sex. And then followed the others with lordly air, until the whole assembly had gathered around King Frederick. Then the king arose and addressed the assembly thus: "My lords, there has come amongst us a mighty people called the class of NaughtySix. They are greater and wiser than any which have dwelt in this kingdom before. If they should rise against us they would cause great havoc, but if th ey fight for us there is no nation which can withstand us.

I he refore, my lords, I have called

you together that we may consult and see what ought to be done." While he was speaking the door opened and the messenger, returning from Delphi, entered. The king opened the seal and read: "King Frederick, that people which has come to dwell in thy kingdom will b e loyal subjects, 29

and they will make the name of thy citadel famous for all time. They will c onquer all thy enemies, and greatly extend the bounds of thy empire. Therefore try them and train them as it shall become men." When he had finished there arose a loud cheer from all th e assembly, and then another, and another, until the sound had filled the whole citadel. Then arose Duke Charles and said: "Most gracious King, there is a drove of ponies roving wild over thy kingdom, and it seems wise to me that we should see if these men can ride them, for it is a dangerous undertaking." Before he could finish Duke William of Foushee was up and spoke thus: "These ponies have no spirit and such a trial would do the men no good, but only prepare them for failure." Then the king called on Duke William of Whitsitt for his opinion, and he rubbed his shanks and answered slowly; "Well, I don't know."

Next arose

Duke Robert and said: "I have in my stable a most dangerous horse called Hypotenuse, and I propose that they shall ride him; for if they succeed in this they are men indeed." Then said Duke Samuel, " Thank you, thank you, yes, thank you, right on please, thank you." And this counsel seemed good to the whole assembly, and they decided that they would try the men on the horse Hypotenuse. Then Duke Samuel pro posed that the men should seek the Source of History and this also was decided on, and many other things. And thus the men were tried and trained, and some became great writers, and some statesmen, and some generals, and they added greatly to the luster of Frederick's court. In the tenth year of King Frederick's reign his forces were under the command of one of the NaughtySix men named Benjamin, and he fought many great battles. In the eleventh year of Frederick's reign the men from Williamsburg came to Richmond to do battle with the king's men. Now Benjamin had become disabled by many battles, and another of the NaughtySix men named David was in command; and he led his forces against the enemy, and they fought until both sides were weary, and they rested on their arms; but when the battle was renewed the king's men drove the enemy from the field with great slaughter. 3o

Then came the men from Ashland, and David led his forces against them, and they fought until it was dark; and the advantage was with the king's men, and the enemy departed sore troubled. And in all things the men of NaughtySix served King Frederick faithfully, and it came to pass that the king issued a decree and had it posted at the great cross roads. And he decreed that on a certain day in the great hall called Chapel he would give a title unto all those who had been valiant in the service of his kingdom. And when this had been done he decreed that those whom he had knighted should go forth and conquer and thus ful fill the prophecy of the Oracle.

Then Summer paused on her wings of flig ht, And the wind bl ew cold f rom the coming ni ght, While Summer her mantle closer drew, And pause d aw hile 'ere s he said ad ieu. Or did she pau se for something dear, And with a sigh draw Autumn n ear? For he had donned his coat of gold, And was he r lo ver fond an d bold. He softly swayed the long, green grass, And made a wa y that hi s la dy p ass, While his warriors' le aves came gayly dow n And formed a carpe t on the ground. Then Summer sighed, and the wind grew w arm, The sky was black ened by a storm, And in the drops o f fall ing rain Sweet Summer va nished wit h her train. Though Autumn sought, he ne'er could fi nd, But always came up close beh ind, And saw he r mark on ev ery thin g, And heard her sig h on passing wing . 54

And so my knight, once fair and bold, Has grown now hoa ry, s ad and old, H i s form is bent, and the gold o f his gow n Is changed to that o f a russ et brown. But still he rides on the wings of the wind, And once in a w hile you may hear him sing; But hi s song is a plai ntive one, and low — For the Summer he lo ved in the long a go.

PAUL AND VIRGINIA. From Painting in Art Hall.

Maw CHlass of '06. S the Law Class of Richmond College is composed of two parts, the Senior Class and the "socalled" Junior Class, it will be necessary, in summarizing its career, to discuss each class sepa rately. The members of t he Senior Class began the final struggle for their degrees under the most auspicious circumstances. Prac tically all of the old members returned, and we also gained many valuable recruits, among the most notable being "Judge" Parker, an eminent jurist, and "Colonel" Hyde, a Western mountaineer. We had scarcely begun our work in earnest, when one of our members, an orator of great ability, created a sensation by taking upon himself the onerous task of championing the rights of the Juniors. His eloquent appeal was. however, in vain. The Juniors did not rally to his sup port, and he went down in dire defeat. We enjoyed a brief respite on Thanksgiving Day, spending the day parading the streets and making noisy demo nstrations. When the darkness of night had spread her dusky mantle over the city, in sm all groups we started in quest of adventure; and when the moon and her celestial co horts were banished by O ld Sol many of our num ber had not yet been able to reach the Campus, but were still worshipping at the shrine of Bacchus. 1 he class was greatly profited just at this time as the result of the energy and ability of one of its most learned members. Entirely unsolicited, Mr. Wyse made many valuable investigations of Supreme Court decisions and gave the class th e benefit of his researches. He has our heartfelt thanks for his praiseworthy endeavor to enlighten those members not so learned as himself. We are also appreciative of his many elaborate opinions expressed gratis on many occasions. 59

The pleasant Yuletide was soon w ith us. Casting our books aside we hastened home to enjoy the pleasures of the season. Returning once more, we were confronted with a dread reality. The Real Property Exam, stood staring us in the face. We held a consultation, and decided to attack it at once. The result of that attack will never be forgotten by the partici pants. When the struggle was over the shattered remnants of many prospective degrees were found in the debris; but summoning fresh courage, we again pressed onward. Just at this time the monotony and solemnity of the class room was rudely disturbed. Some miscreants, doubtless unaware of the great reputation of the class for courage, began a furious bombardment of the class room. Quickly recovering from our surprise, and led by the gallant Parker and the fearless Hyde, we sallied forth. No men could have stood before that charge. The miscreants broke and fled, and have never since been seen upon the Campus. A few more short months and our college career will be ended. May Dame Fortune ever smile kindly on us, one and all, and may our efforts and perseverance be finally crowned with success. It was indeed a distinguished array of personages who presented themselves at the beginning of this collegiate session to form the "socalled" Junior Class. The roster of this class cont ains, among other distinguished names, those of the venerable Kerse, the athletic Selby, the giant Hubbard, and "Farmer" Jones, who hails from "Hennvracker" county. Being extremely ambitious, the members of the Junior Class have not been content with their quota of lectures, but have made frequent invasions of the Senior Class Room. On one of these occasions it became necessary for the Judge to gently admonish the erring Junior, telling him that he would probably be bored if he re mained. Taking the cue, the young man made a hasty exit, followed by derisive and mocking laughter. As the Junir Class is s till in its infancy, an extended summary of its career would be impracticable. We wish them the greatest success in the pursuit of their chosen profession, and trust that their career will not only reflect honor upon them selves, but also glory upon their Alma Mater. The history of the Law Class of 1906 is comple te, but we cannot close with out paying a tribute to him whose uniform kindness, courtesy and perseverance have so materially contributed to our success. Whatever success w e may have achieved we attribute it to the faithful teaching of the "Old Judge." In whatever sphere of life our lot may be cast, the influence of his high character and courtly demeanor will always be an incentive to us to strive to attain the highest and noblest in m anhood.

HERMES. CHARON. THE HISTORIAN. SPIRITS.

PLACE—THE INFERNAL REGIONS.

ACT FIRST AND ONLY The Descent. Hermes and Historian.

Historian. But softly, now, those spirits there affright me, What may they mean ? Those little ones t hat cry And make a m ournful noise. O, horrible! Hermes.

They are but spirits, that in y outh were slain By poring over volumes old and dry. Come, be not afraid, I'll lead thee on.

Historian. But those old graybeards there, that seem to toil, And labor ardently with figures q uaint, And letters all distorted and awry. Why should their tottering steps be dogged with books That walk as men. And what mean those foul fiends, That yell an d jeer at them ; and fling such words As 'ganache', and other phrases foreign ? Hermes.

Pity them not, for they deserve much more. Know that they are teachers, from a school That once did flourish in the Capitol. Follow, fo r w e must press much farther on.

(They come to the river Styx, which flows through the realm of darkness. They start to em bark in the ferryman's barge.)

Charon.

Hold ! Mortal. Thou hast yet blood in thy veins. Why do you tempt the wrath of h eaven, thus? Know you not, that only spirits cross The treach'rous waves of Styx ? Wherefore is thi s ? 63

Hermes.

Peace ! Peace ! Thou awful ferryman— 'Tis Jupiter's decree that brings him here.

{They embark and float down the stream. Spirits are seen on the river's banks.)

Historian. [Pointing] Methinks those legs are ROBERTSONIAN. Hermes.

True, O mortal, like a book thou speakest. For much base football pl aying is h e here, And to purge away the blackness of the game, Which even g ood King Theodore detested ; He constantly must try for goals, and punts A ball full la rge, and made of col dest iron. That spirit there is BUGGS, a noble youth.

Historian. Alas, poor BUGGS. I knew him well, Mercutio. A fellow of infinite zest, but lacking reason. Hermes.

Yes, yes , 'ti s true. On earth he played the king, But here is doo med to ever play th e knave. Lo ! HOOLIGAN, in his eternal thirst Stands reaching for the steins, he may not g rasp. His is a lo t full sore indeed.

Historian.

Alas, This outtantalizes Tantalus. But, say, y on spirit lordlier than the rest, With something in his face familiar— See how he cometh through the other shades— With such imperial stride and sovereign motion.

Hermes. [To Shade.] Stay thou ! And let us see thy ghostly face! ( Shade turns, disclosing form of the BISHOP.)

Historian. [In awe.] O mighty BISHOP, art thou come to this ? Majestic 'mid the dead as in the light. Often we took counsel in the halls Of Jasperdom. Now freely speak to me. (Shade walks away in contempt. From the void comes a living statue of white marble. It resembles one L. CUTCHINS '0 7.)

Historian.

Quickly messenger ! What man is th at ? That cold, majestic statue there ! Look !

Hermes.

That is a very noble youth, mark, His name is afte r F rance's monarch Louis ; And here he sits upon a pedestal To hold dread sway o 'er lands imaginary. Speak to him not, for he is puff ed and proud. 64

Historian. Listen ! (A discordant noise comes to them.)

Hermes.

That is E ugene, full l oud, but harmless. In a padded cell is he confined, With notices upon the walls like these : "Eat not the plaster fr om the room, good s ir," And "Please to let the carpettacks alone."

(The song floats to them. It resembles this : "Lucky thy lover, Thy lover, Lucky. Luckie adoringly lives for Louisa, There's nothing but that in the world for your Lucky— Louisa, Louisa, thy Luckie adores thee.")

Hermes. [In melancholy tones.] Tough LUCK, To be f orever d oomed to sing such songs. (They drift on. A figure is seen eating pie with evident distaste.)

Historian. Who is t hat ? Hermes.

BARBE, who stole boss fro m Bouis Yea, from that vile gr ubbery of y ore, That like the Phoenix, r ose, from out its hashes.

(A figure appears fighting

Hermes.

madly with a lion. Said lion resembles A. RYLAND '07.)

Look! A second Daniel. Mark his courage. See with what careless countenance he fights.

(Apparition of C^SAR YOUNG a ppears.)

Historian. Ha ! Who comes here ? Speak to me what thou art. Shade.

Thy evil spiri t, mortal.

Historian. Shade.

Why com'st thou ? To tell thee that thou shalt see me at Phillipi.

Historian. Well, then, I shall see thee again ? Shade.

Ay, at Phillipi.

(Shade vanishes.)

Historian. What means the idle prattle of t his ghost ? Hermes.

Phillipi is b ut the Williamsburgh Of this dark land. Fear not, but yonder look ; That is t he form of a onetime prince of m en, Who'd rather been WRIGHT than Emperor of Rome. 65

Historian. [Springing wildly up, on appearance of a fiery ball.] The sun ! The sun ! The fiery or b of heaven. Look how gloriously its rays do beam, New lustre added by t he dark ! Hope ! Hope ! Ye spirits now in murk of hell, Be of good cheer tho' ye lie in the depths of the pit, For even now the brilliant noonday sun Pours a flood of p ure and golden light In at the very doors of Pluto's realm ! Abandon not all ho pe, benighted shades. But live ! live! in this newcome heavenly radiance ! Hermes.

Peace ! Peace ! What would you do, rash man ? Inspire not hope in hollow breasts of ghosts. That fiery ball wa s but one WILLIE'S head, Which tarnished not, even by gl oomy Styx. You all do know, that on the Campus, once, This same youth did institute a crop Of noble men. And called them PhiPhiPhis.

Historian. So dear I loved the man that I must weep. {Shade of B. C. JONES ap pears.)

Historian. Ah, good my lord, and art thou come to this ? Shade. Historian. Shade. Historian. Shade.

To this ? I go now to a banquet hall, What more can I have need of ? Society here ? Oh, here, the devil leads t he best of men, And women, too. What? Women here ? You jest. Jest ? Ay, say that I jest, of that, I pray. But no—it is to o true, you foolish man. Woman,—she wounds us with her fingers fair, And runs away. We the while delight To think 'twas her, a nd wait for her to kill. Then back again s he trips, to heal our hurts ; She weeps that she has treated us so sore, And like a holy nun, does bend to cure The pain that she has given. Ah yes, I jest ; She kneeling—sadly smiling, seeks to kill, To crush completely all t he spirit's life, And we, poor fools, but smile to see her come. But no.—Forget. In truth I did but jest. There are no women here ; in heaven they are. [Exit Shade.]

[As the curtain falls several ghosts of women pass across ths scene.) 66

1908 (§Hlaes History. (With Apologies to Publius Virgilus Maro.)

WRITE of trials and the heroes of Naughty Eight who, driven by fate, have come from the world of ignorance to Richmond and its classic shades. Much they have been troubled both in their rooms and in their class rooms by the power of their professors above on account of the lasting will of "Boaty"; and they have suffered also many things in their studies, until they might build a reputation and bring in scho lastic honors from whence is t he class of Nineteen Hundred and Eight and its schol arly sons and the fame of its lofty deeds. O Muse! relate to me the causes. What professor being offended or why the president of the college designing, may have compelled men eminent for study to endure so many calamities, to undergo so many hardships.

Are so great resent

ments in faculty minds? An ancient city has been which Virginia gentlemen have inhabited, Richmond, over against Manchester and on the banks of the James, not far off; abounding in men and most hard in the exercises of war; which one "Boaty" is said to have revered more than all others, Germany being less esteemed.

Here

have been his trials; here his victories. He now and then both designs and cherishes the hope that this is to be the seat of learning for the nations, if in any way fate may permit. But truly he had heard that a race of Naughty Eight was descended from learned blood which hereafter might overturn the towers of ignorance; that 73

hence a people extensively a student and proud in success is about to come for the destruction of darkness. Thus the destinies had ordained. . . . King "Boaty" in a vast building controls by authority and restrains with rules and a campus th e struggling men of Naughty Eight and their roaring disorders. They indignant roar around the barriers with a great murmur of voices.

Boaty sits on a lofty eminence holding

a sceptre; and calms their passions an d moderates their blueness. For unless he may do thus, th ey s wift may bear away with themselves the bell and the buildings and the high tower and sweep them through the air. . . . He has struck the bulletin board against the front with a hard notice, and the exams., as in a formed band, burst forth when a chance has been given, and blow over the men in a whirlwind. They have hovered over the Campus, at the same time also both Math, and English and Latin, thick with parsing, agitate the whole college fr om its lowest foundations and roll vast sorrows to the students. Both the cry of men and cracking of hopes succeeds. Suddenly the clouds snatch both the Heaven and the day from the eyes of the students; dark night sits upon the Campus. Professors have thundered, and the sky shows terror; and all things threaten present ruin to the men. Immediately the limbs of the students are relaxed with fear. They groan and, stretching both hands to the stars, relate such things with their voices: O both thrice and four times happy, to whom it has happened to die before the face of their fathers, under the parental roof. . . . Fate, consoling, speaks in a prophetic voice: "I will unfold by words what fame shall follow the Naughty Eight race, w hat glory remains for that people, illustrious s ouls, and about to go to their name, and I will teach you your own fates. . . . Lo, men by y our auspices, this renowned class shall equal its empire to the earth, its courage to Heaven; and at once shall sur round seven States t o itself by learning happy in a race of scholars. . . . Shall again build up the golden age in America, through lands formerly ruled by superstition, and shall extend its empire over land and seas." HISTORIAN.

1 9 ° 9 C H l a s s H i s t o r y ,

E have been asked to give an account of ourselves, and if you will be patient with us, since this is our first attempt to write any thing for publication, we shall endeavor to satisfy your curiosity. Let us say first of all that we are only harmless "rats." It seems but yesterday that we entered the president's office to m atriculate and ate our first meal at the Refectory on the Campus, when we met new friends with whom we were to share our joys and our woes throughout four years of our college career. Aye, it seems but last night when by "A sudden rush from the stairway, A sudden raid from the hall," accompanied by a most hideous and unearthly cry, "Rats out tonight!" we were aroused from our peaceful midnight slumbers and lead to the Campus, where—not exactly by our own accord—we began a lively p rogram by b arking at the moon, which shone with majestic splendor upon our gay company. Now, since this is o ur first year at college, we hesitate to tell you what we have done. We haven't had time to do much owing in part to a protracted spell of homesickness.

We can simply say what we wish to achieve and ask you to bear

witness of the fulfillment of our prophesy, when we predict that we shall perform a 81

modern miracle. Some believe th at true greatness in a ny realm is the product of long, continuous efforts, and Darwinism teaches that by evolution the human race is the result of a process of growth extending through milleniums, but it is our intention within the course of four years to rise from "rats" to Richmond College graduates. For several months we have been sin ging nraises in honor of our Alma Mater. We esteem her because she is t he port from which we shall eventually sail forth into the vast sea of life to take our part in the affairs of men. The flag be aring the Crimson and the Blue shall ever grace the topmost mast of our vessel.

Wherever we sail,

whether it be th rough arctics or tropics, across the equator, or in the temperate zones, the light of Richmond College s hall be o ur guide; and as the true Englishman sings, "Rule Britannia, rule the waves," so each member of the class of " '09" shall give Richmond full sway in his heart until his bark touches the celestial shore to meet the God he learned to serve at college.

H W r i c f E)istory of the Eiterary JBocietles of Richmond fflollege. N giving this brief sketch of the literary societies of Ri chmond College, the writer realizes t hat he will be criticised by a few readers, worthy or otherwise, on the ground that he has given an undue promi nence to Mu Sigma Rho; and since, as the old sa ying goes, " An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of c ure," he begs in advance that those readers will remember that of our two societies Mu Sigma Rho is the older, and the trunk, so to "speak, of the present tree. For this reason, therefore, it has been necessary to allow her the respect due her seniority. "Cum senectute venit dignitas." The work of o ur literary societies has been an important factor in college activity since the founding of t he College, in fact we have, in the College library, the minutes of li terary society meetings as far back as 1840, the College being founded in 1832. We first hear of a Columbian Debating Society, which is th e oldest known to have existed in the College. Regular meetings were held every week in the old chapel, and its records date from December, 1840. There was also a Franklin Society a t this time, though we know of it only through the Columbian records. These two societies began to publish the first college paper, the "Observer," on September 10, 1842. In 1843 t he Franklin Society was either broken up or merged into another society, and the latter is more probable for there is a Washington Society mentioned in the Columbian minutes of 1844, though its own records extend only to February, 1846. It became a s trong society, and with the Columbian kept up a library a nd reading room. In 1844 t he Washington Society was invited to unite with the Columbian, 100

but the proposal w as rejected. However, in 184.6, a t emporary union was proposed, and this time it was effected, and, on October 10, 1846, the new society was organ ized as the Mu Sigma Rho Literary Society of Richmond College. The first presi dent was William L. Royster, of New Kent. The name, and motto: "Mousa, Sophia, Rhetorike," were suggested by Dr. George F. Holmes, then Professor of Ancient Languages. The Society began its first y ear with twentyfour members, and the union proved so successful t hat on February 13, 1847, a meeting was held in which the temporary union was declared "indissoluble." One can get an idea of what the society work in those days was like by the following extracts from Mu Sig. records : " On motion of Mr. Lockett the Society instructed Mr. Golf to make a rostrum for the use of the society under the direction of a committee, consisting of Messrs. Lock ett, Golf, and Seppet; and the Board of Curators sell the rostrum formerly used by the society."—Minutes, Decemberj, 1846. " It was then moved that the Board of Curators be instructed to buy a pair of snuffers, which was withdrawn on condition that Mr. C. would snuff the candles with his fingers."—Minutes, January 16, 1847.

The society still maintained its library an d reading room and, in 1851, began to publish a weekly "The Mu Sigma Rho Star," which was regularly issued f rom that time until 1878. "The Star" consisted of ab out six foolscap pages, written by hand, and was read at each meeting of the society. Several volumes of it are preserved in the College library. From 1851 to 1855 the society grew rapidly, but with no opposition the mem bership became too large and interest lagged until, in 1855, sixteen men withdrew and organized the Philologian Literary Society of Richmond College. Among the sixteen were Doctors W. E. Hatcher and C. H. Ryland. The name was suggested by C . H. Ryland, and the first president was W. L. Pemck. This action aroused Mu Sigma Rho and interest in society work was increased so that both societies flourished and continued to prosper. From 1861 until 1866 college work was suspended, but in October, 1866, the loose strands were again gathered up and and society work became as important as ever. In 1873 the societies furnished and occupied their present halls, and about the same time they donated their books to the College library. A paper called "Monthly Musings" was established by the two societies in 1877, but during the fall of the same year it became known as The Richmond College '""""since that time t he course of o ur societies h as been smooth and uneventful, and there is little to record but continual work and prosperity in both.

The slanting sunbeams kissed the stream. The willows nodded as the y passed. It flowed as gently as a dream. Nor danced the gl earn the sunheam cast. All seemed to hreathe of perfect rest. The lazy oar scarce ripple made. As if twere loath the river s hreast To ruffle wit h its shining hlade. But as we breathed in soft delight. The calm, the beauty of i t all. There fell the chill of coming ni And far we heard the cat ract s call. So are life s pleasures marred —halfmade. So all our joys must tur n to pain ; The brightest day must end in shade. And we can only hope—in vain.

" Tears." BY HARR Y' MELVILLE BOWLING, '08 . " 'Pars, idle tears—I know not what they mean."

" Tears, idle tears " ; do you know what they mean ? I think they mark the turning point between The lonely hour of trial and the dawning of release— The line between our struggles and commencement of our peace. For us the darkest hour of night is that before the dawn ; E'en so sad tears are dewdrops of the lovely, peaceful morn. Have you never seen the way grow dark and trials press you hard, And the many stones of stumbling keep you ever on your guard, When, just as night seemed blackest and you were most sorely prest, "Tears, idle tears," to rescue came, and with those tears came rest.

H (fU lassie (fUupld. B Y E. W.

HY, Jamie, what's the trouble, why that downcast face?" said Masie Parker as she looked down at her twelveyear old brother, who stood looking out of the window, a scowl upon his face. "Well, Sis, it 's just this : I must have a dollar, and I'm dead broke. Father has just given me a watch and five dollars for a gymnasium ticket, so I can't ask him for an y more." " Why, what do you want now ?" " O h, our crowd is going to give a lawnparty to the girls, and each fellow must fork up a dollar. If I don't, I just can't go, and one of the others will ta ke Mary." " That settles it," said Masie, " you must have the dollar. Of course none of the other boys must take Mary. I am dead broke, as you call it, too. 1 spent the last dollar of my allowance this morning, but we must scrape up some, somehow. Haven't you something that you can sell ? " " Not a thing ; I sold all my old sc hoolbooks to the secondhand bookstore right after school turned out, and

" O h, I have some schoolbooks you c an sell. I took them up into the attic right after commencement, so you might as well have them. Let's go and get them now, and you can take Mary, after all. "This is enough Maze; these will more than bring a dollar," said James flying down the attic steps a f e w minutes later, the books under his arm . * * *

109

It was late in the fall. Masie sat before her open grate reading. "Your mail, Miss Masie," said the servant poking her head into the room. " Thank you, Jane, just bring it in. I wonder from whom this can be, said she looking at one of the envelopes, " I never saw that handwriting before.

Hastily

tearing it o pen she read : "HARVARD UNIVERSITY, November 2, igo—. " DEAR MISS MASIE,—I have no doubt that you will be surprised to hear from me, but I cannot keep silent longer. After having felt the pressure of your tiny hand and the glance of your beautiful eye f or t hree years, this present separation is intol erable. From the heading of this letter you will see that I am at Harvard. One of the students was passing through Richmond early in the fall, a nd while looking over some old volumes, caught sight of me and, immediately, I was purchased. He is a very nice fellow, six f eet two inches in height, but doesn't know half as much Latin as you do. He spends too much time playing football to care much for me. I thought perhaps you would like to hear from me and learn my whereabouts, a nd I am sure I would be delighted to hear how you are spending the winter. A letter addressed to Mr. Thomas Reginald Hamilton, Harvard University, will reach me alright.

" Devotedly, ZUMP'S LATIN GRAMMAR."

"How absurd," said Masie, breaking into a laugh, " I n ever heard of a nything quite so crazy. I thought I tore my name out of t hose books I gave James, but I guess I must have forgotten the back leaf in that Grammar. A Harvard fellow, six feet two inches tall, and a football player—how exciting! I am certainly going to answer that letter." This is th e letter that a month later reached Harvard : "RICHMOND, VA., November J O , ig o—. "DEAR OLD LATIN GRAMMAR,—Words cannot express my delight at hear ing from you. Ever since your departure, I have been pining for y ou and longing for your Subjective Moods, Ideal and Unreal Conditions, Sequence of Tenses, Oratio Obliqua, e tc. I am glad that you have such a delightful master and hope he will grow to love y ou as much as I do. I am staying at home this winter having a gay time. Unable, however, to give up the remembrance of you, I am still co njugating 'amare,' sometimes almost think it is 'amo,' more often 'amat,' very seldom 'amamus." With best wishes,

"Your old friend of s tudent days, "MASIE." 110

This was by no means the end of the correspondence, in f act it w as only t he beginning. Letters from the Grammar became frequent, and Masie, now that she had gotten herself i nto it, decided that she could not back out. "What difference does it make, anyway," she would s ay, trying to ease h er conscience, " we will nev er see each other, nothing can possibly c ome out of it, besides I'll break it off before it goes much farther." And so month after month, t he letterwriting continued. "Hearing from you is delightful, but even that can't come up to seeing you. Haven't you a picture you can spare ? " wrote the Grammar in one of its letters.

A^yy

"How about exchanging photographs." Not to be outdone, Masie sent a fine likeness of of the back of her head to Harvard, begging for the Grammar's photograph in return. The return mail brought a package, which, u pon

being opened, proved to be a picture of the Latin Grammar held in t he hand of a young man who bent s tudiously over i t. "How grand looking!" said Masie (speaking of the young man, not the Grammar). "What broad shoulders 1 I wish he hadn't been bending over t hat old Grammar so much, so I could see his face. The top of his head looks like he might be right good looking." The Grammar began to speak less and less of itself a nd more of its master, its m aster's athletic sports, his studies, the essays he was writing, the Latin medal for which he was trying, the degree he hoped soon to win, took up most of the space. Masie found herself unconsciously sympathizing with the "master," giving encouragement in his studies, offering subjects for his essays, and giving advice ab out different things. One day a letter came that changed affairs greatly. After describing the commencement, which had just taken place, the Grammar said, " Mr. Hamilton expects to be in Richmond for a few days next week. I am so anxious to see you again, if you will allow he will bring me around," etc. "Oh ! I never thought it would come t o this," said Masie, rather pale

course, I can't allow such a thing. I don't mind flirting a little sometimes, but I am not so far gone that I will all ow a man I never met to come to see me. Of course 1 ought never t o have written to the old Grammar—but I wish I could see him," she thought. "It's no use to think about it, however. I couldn't think of telling h im to come." And this is th e note that reached Harvard several days later: " RICHMOND, VA., June 21, 190—. "DEAR OLD GRAMMAR,—I a m very sorry to say I will be out of t he city next week, and will b e unable to see you. Now that your master has graduated, I suppose you will pas s into other hands who will n ot so kindly write me of y our welfare. "Farewell, " MASIE." * * *

"Will I never g et there?" said Tom Hamilton as he looked impatiently at his watch. "This train beats the 'Slow Train through Arkansas.' We should have reached there at 7 P . M., and it's after 8 now. I certainly have come a long way for a houseparty, but I guess I need a rest: two years of la w practice in New York is n ot the most restful thing." A few minutes later, his old college chum Ed. Sar.ford was greeting him warmly. " Hello ! old fellow," said he, wringing his hand, " this seems like old times once more. But we must hurry; all th e other fellows got here this morning. Nell has just lots of pretty girls—half of them I never saw before, but as 1 said, we must hurry. There is to be an extra big blowout tonight and you will just have time to fly into your other clothes." Who is that girl with the pretty eyes over by t he window?" asked Tom of Ed. later i n the evening. Oh, that is Miss Miller, the Virginia belle. Come let me give you a knockdown." The girl m et him graciously with proffered hand and a charming smile; but as she heard his name, a flush mounted to her cheek. Quickly regaining her composure, she was soon chatting merrily. I hear you are from Richmond," said he, breaking a slight pause i n the conversation.

I have never had the pleasure of being there but once, and then

only for a day.

Two years ago, just after my graduation, I made all ar rangements

to spend several days there, but at the last minute found it best, much to my sorrow, to change my plans." 112

Oh, that was t oo bad," said Miss Miller, " but I believe everyone is going to supper," and the subject was dropped. Do you know " he said, as he took his seat beside her, later in t he evening, do you know a young lady who lives in your city by the name of Parker—Miss Maise ?—Let me get you some w ater," he said, hastily, seeing that a pallor had spread over her face. Oh, it's nothing," Miss Miller replied, " I am subject to vertigo, l et's go out on the porch, where it's cooler, and the light is not so glaring, a nd I will b e alright. Yes," she said as they seated themselves on the porch, her face in the shadow, " I know Miss Parker, slightly." "Tell me about her," he said eagerly, "is she tall or small; is she pretty, is she—she hasn't married, has she?" " No, she hasn't married, yet. She is just a little above the average height," said Miss Parker with a smile. " / don't think she is very pr etty, but I have heard some rave over her looks.

But why, may I ask, are you so m uch interested in Miss

Parker—is she an acquaintance of y ours? " "Not exactly. I — I h appened to hear of her incidentally while I was at Harvard," said Tom quickly and changed the subject. % * *

Riverside was an ideal place for a houseparty, and Tom thoroughly enjoyed himself. There were tennis courts, golf link s, horses and runabouts, hammocks and swings, boating and bathing, a jolly crowd, and, greatest of all attractions, Miss Miller. He was very much interested in Miss Miller; in fact, he liked her exceedingly. She was charming and very jolly. " I don't believe she likes me, however," said T om to himself on e day ; "she seems to enjoy herself very well when we are together, but I believe she avoids me. And why d oes she blush, flush and pale so easily? If it is vertigo, as she says, she must have a right bad c ase of heart trouble. I wish it were the kind that would benefit me," he added rather mournfully. " Miss Miller," said he one night as he took her arm to assist her into the chairswing out under the trees, ' do you know anything about Latin ?

He felt a

slight tremor pass ov er her as she answered: A little." " Masie! " someone called from the house. Miss Miller tu rned her head and answered. 113

Tom started. Masie ! That hair — yes, that comb, too! The blushing and the pallor — it must be true. " Masie," he said a s she turned around, " Masie, I cannot explain your last name, but certainly you are my friend of the Latin Grammar." She remained silent, her eyes downcast, her cheeks crimson. " Why did you find out ?" she finally said. " I was hoping you never would. The last name is easily explai ned : Ed. met so many of us t he first day that he got us mixed and called me Miss M iller and Miss Miller, Miss Parker. For a joke w e did not correct him, and when I met you and recognized who you were, I begged the girls to keep up the joke — only it w asn't a joke to me. Why did you find out ?" she repeated. Masie, y ou should have told me before." She shook her head. " I wish you had," he insisted. " Then you are not disgusted with me ?" " Disgusted ! Masie, what l am I owe to you." Drawing a medal from his pocket, he continued, "If it hadn't been for y our encouragement I could never have won this. Disgusted ! Masie !" Leaning over a nd gently taking her hand, he said : " Masie, can't we, in remembrance of o ur old friend the Latin Grammar, again con jugate 'amare' —this time, amo, amas, amamus' ?" " Ego possum," she faintly answered.

B Y " H ENRY M ILLAR."

ONE of th e boys kn ew when Rabby first put in his appearance. True, old Jackson used to tell the sophomores about a certain winter's night some nine years before, ween something happened, and how Professor Harmon came into his classroom the next morning, wreathed in smiles, while Dame Rumor announced that he had entertained Dr. Stork overnight.

Now, Jackson had

been in c ollege nine years — again on Dame Rumor's authority — and his memoirs should have been reverenced accordingly ; but then, some said he had given vivid pictures of e vents in college twenty years before, a nd consequently his version was not generally accepted. So Rabby's advent remained a question of doubt, like the marriage of Professor B lock — to be discussed in idlen ess and debated in de spair. But be t hat as it may, Rabby was very pr ominent, an exceedingly e vident and altogether perennial character in college; he was always everywhere, l ike the dislike for the Dean, or the smell of tobacco. Indolent juniors would be roused in the morning by his voice along the hall ; even the latest student banquet never found him asleep : Bigeyed, intent and content, he would eat as much as a ny a nd join his treble in the student chorus. It's hard to say why they all loved Rabby, and why he was always with them. When the freshmen first entered college, s omething about the youngster made t hem think of home, rowdy sophomores had decency enough not to swear before him; juniors would advise him, and the depths of senior wisdom were his to command. 45

He was common property and common pride. You can see him in every class pic ture from the time Jack Lipscomb had to hold him up until he himself graduated. Rabby knew the mysteries of every class : he could have told, if he would, why the collegebell ra ng all n ight after the President's reception, w hy the icecream ran short after t he football celebration, and similar puzzles which disturbed the cere bellum of fa culty a nd set heathen tongues awag. But he kept his ow n counsel, and if aft er the loss of the icecream his mother woke up in the wee, small hours to find him suffering from an acute juvenile pain in juvenile regions, Rabby suffered and said nothing. Perhaps he was glad the next d ay to learn that Billy Selde n who had con ducted the campaign was also hors de combat — if Ra bby knew the word. But if Ra bby took sides with students against the faculty—although his father was one of t hat august body—he also had friends among the powers that be. Wood son of C hemistry would mix him the most beautiful precipitates ; he knew the where abouts of eve ry "funny" thing in the physical lab., and exactly where the surplus stock of c halk could be f ound. And Uncle Robert was his p articular friend. Uncle Robert, you must know, was Professor Robert Cushing Ripley, D. D., and several o ther D's., of the chair of Biblical Literature. Of course no one ever pretended that Rabby's fondness for Uncle Robert grew out of his love for the subject. In fact, rather the contrary, for if th ere was any time in the week when Rabby absolutely refused to stay awake it was when his m other tried to teach him his Sundayschool lesson on Saturday evening. So there must have been other grounds of sympathy. Some said that a long time ago, forty, maybe fifty years, Uncle Robert had a little boy like Rabby; but who believed that ? Mrs. Professor S udler had circulated that slander, and she was a sad, sentimental creature— read Myrtle Read, and Paul Ford, you know. However, Rabby and Uncle Robert were in seperable, e xcept in class. When the twelve o'clock bell ra ng, and Uncle Robert's class was dismissed, no matter what exciting plans were being hatched in Henderson Hall, or how thrilling a poker game was passing in the shades of Hubert Cottage, Rabby would break off, and run to meet Uncle Robert as he left I46

the classroom. It was interesting t o see them : The tall, whitehaired old gentle man with perfect black coat, and kindly face, walking side by side with dirty, pug nosed Rabby, and they conversed with the utmost freedom. " Rabby," the boys used to ask, "what are you and Uncle Robert talking about so much .

Just things, was Rabby's only answer, and it became proverbial.

Rabby always went with him for his constitutional; and when Rabby's mother, as became a good Professor's wife, w ent on lengthy campaigns against the heathen, Rabby camped with Uncle Robert. There aint no Aunt Robert," Rabby declared, a nd perhaps that explained certain vagaries in his costume during such periods. "Oh," Jack Gordon, that sad, cynical junior, used to say, " time may come when we have two holidays at Easter, but Rabby and Uncle Robert will always stay together." But Rabby had another bosom friend, and with him his neutrality between classes vanished. At the track meet that spring he came out as the avowed cham pion of t he Juniors, and everybody knew the cause: Newt Roberts was a junior th at year, a nd a treaty of offensive and defensive alliance had been made between them, Here too was a mystery. Nobody could tell how they came t o be such allies. True, envious sophs were so bitter as to allege a considerable subsidy, in the form of old baseballs, discarded shinguards, and such things, but Rabby indignantly denied it. It was then, however, t hat he first appeared in his sweater with the big "L" on it, and about that time Newt made application for a new one. Nor was Rabby alone in his admiration for Newt. Everybody knew he was worthless, and idle, a nd all th at, but there never was such a full back, nor could his curves be e xcelled, while his track records were unequalled. And if, in detailing these achievements, Rabby drew the long bow ever so little, no one would contradict him. There wasn't a p rouder senior in college t he next fall than Rabby. His old friends would ask him what he intended to do when he graduated, whether he meant to enter the theological, and like insulting queries, but Rabby held his own. "Ask Newt," was his ta citurn retort. It would have been very prope r t o say that Rabby influenced N ewt to take up Biblical Literature, but the truth must out, and the fact was that Newt had failed on his log ic, was heavily condi tioned in several other subjects, and Bib. Lit. was the last hope of his symphony. Nor is it true that Rabby's love for Uncle Robert overcame Newt's natural disposition to attend no classes ; again the fact that he cut his Bible as regularly as his Math., or his English. And there is no record of R abby's protest. It was because of these conditions that Newt didn't play football. He and H7

Rabby groaned on the sidelines while t he colors were dragged by M arden, their an cient enemy. Prom, week came finally, and Newt's people came down to see him. Rabby was introduced, with a clean face, and marvellously white shirt. So assiduous were the attentions of Newt's sisters, and so tempting their dainties that Rabby had a return of t he old complaint which he suffered after the President's reception. It was a little hard, though, not to see Newt on the track, and when base ball ca me around, Rabby felt even keener pangs. Nor was it certain even with this additional time that Newt would pull through. "I tell you, Rabby," teased a junior, " Newt's going to slip u p; and if h e does, how will y ou get to the class banquet ?" " He aint agoing to flunk," declared Rabby with vigor, and would have proved his assertion at any cost. But for all his confidence, things looked blue for Newt. Heavily conditioned, he found to his sorrow that the wages of athletics is fail, or at best a vast amount of uncertainty. But with the proper amount of leniency on the part of the faculty, and still greater assistance from his ally Cram, Newt might have made it: And here was where the accident came in, for they happen in colleges as well as in families. You see, all of t he old men had retired from the baseball team at the approach of the exams, and in spite of all ef forts, when the time for the great game with Marden came, hopes were way down. To cap the catastrophe wet grounds postponed the contest until almost e xamination time, then the best pitcher sprained his arm, and it took a special vote of the faculty to have the game played, almost at commencement. And here was where Newt had trouble : Nothing would do when the other pitcher broke down, but that Newt must pitch that one game. Protest was useless, the appeals to his college spirit—that volatile, dangerous liquid—were effectual, and he gave way. "Wont it be fine," Rabby confided to Newt, as resplendent in his sweater, they shared the same seat to Marden, " I can see the game, and I wont have to wash till I get home." Glorious as was t hat prospect, it was forgotten in the sting of their defeat. They might have known it: With the strain of examinations pulling his nerves, and all o ut of practice, Newt couldn't pitch ; Marden was so far ahead, and the most ingenious telegram conceivable could not hide the truth. "Confound it!" said Newt, as he rode home, "I couldn't make it, and that Bible comes tomorrow." His cup of s orrow had the foam blown off, however, when he learned that he was safe as far as he had gone. He hastened to his study, and tried to unravel David and Saul; made a vain effort to harmonize Luke and John ; and concluded by falling asleep in his chair. Like many another hero in defeat, he con signed base ball to the region where it's no use to dispute the umpire, and went to bed. 148

There were waffles for break fast that morning, but they didn't tempt Rabby ; it seemed his father's prayer would never end and give him a chance to run to the study hall. But finally h e peered into the window. There at his desk was Uncle Robert serenely reading Juvenal. Newt was tearing his hair and frowning at the papers b efore him. Maybe, as he l ooked from one to the other, Rabby didn't love Uncle Robert much. It was just his luck too, Rabby assured himself, to have to go down town visiting with his mother, and it was past noon when they returned. Breathlessly he ran to Newt s room, and tried the door. It was locked—something that never had happened since he could remember. He knocked and kicked to no purpose, until finally, h e heard a step within, and Newt opened it. Rabby's heart sank at the sight, he knew in a moment Newt had broken o n that examination. He stood hesitating.

Go away, Rabby," said N ewt dolefully, " I can't talk today."

And the door closed in his face. Cut to the heart, Rabby stumbled down the steps; he restrained his tears un til he reached a quiet p lace on the campus, then he threw himself on the ground. Newt had failed, Newt had sent him away; and Uncle Robert had done it. There would be no graduating banquet, no commencement, "No nothing," he wept, "and Uncle Robert has done it." Meanwhile, all unconscious, Uncle Robert was sitting in his study, busily ex amining; the papers, so that he might post immediately. Presently he came to one blurred and confused; his con scientious care could not decipher it, and he had to place it by itself, with "Failed" written on the back. "Too bad," he thought, " and he's Rabby's friend. But he ruined himself on that trip, and I dare say he fails m ore than this course." Thinking of Rabby reminded him; he looked at his wa tch and it w as time to start for his walk. He wrote out the list and as h e did so, maybe he thought—just maybe — of inserting Newt's name. But it w asn't there when he put on his hat and started to hunt up Rabby and post his no tice. " Rabby," said he in a few minutes, as he almost stumbled across the boy on the grass, " i t's our time to go w alking." Rabby looked up sullenly, then turned his head awav. The old man was troubled, and was about to question him when Rabby broke into tears. "Uncle Robert, Uncle Robert, you've flunked him, and we wont have no commencement." And he covered his head with his han ds. The old gentleman looked at him silently, took his hand from his coat and stroked his chin. It was hard he thought, for Newt was a good fellow, and

his eyes met

Rabby's peering at him through his fingers —the little man did so want him to pass. H9

There was nothing else to be done. Slowly he sat down on the grass beside Rabby; from the mysteries of t hat coat a fountainpen appeared and through his t ears R abby saw him write a name in the list—"Newton R. 'Roberts." Perhaps, he thought to himself as he rose, perhaps I didn't examine that paper very carefully, a nd besides, I might not have seen him sometimes when he really w as in class. " Rabby," he said, leaning over the boy, "let's go to the bulletinboard a minute,—don't cry."

The Merry Gobblers. Lord Burt of Henderson, By the Nine Gods he swore: That the great house of Burton Would avoid the game no more! By the Nine Gods he swore it, And named a gobbling day, And bade the bugler Louis go East and west and south and north To summons up his prey. East and west and south and north, Louis did summons fast, And Ryland and Mem' and Cottage Did hear the trumpet's blast. O ! Shame on that turkey false Who lingers in the sun, When Carolina Burton Is on the march for "mon." There were thirty chosen turkeys, The wisest of the land, Who always by Lord Burton Both morn and evening stand. Evening and morn the thirty Had turned their pet cards o'er, Upon the timeworn board, long used By mighty sharks of yore. And with one voice the thirty Had their glad answer given : We come, we come, Lord Burton ; We come, as you have bidden. And with a mighty throng To join the muster came The faithful Snyder Buggs, Prince of historic name. 176

Then York and George and Parker Came one instead of three; And Abbot Byrd of Accomac, The rover of the sea; Then gay, o ld Stephen D., Consumer of the fruit of vines; And Cocktail Small of Maryland, Whose jeans w ere copper mines. But hark! The cry of Ikey: And lo ! The doors divide, And then great Charlie Turner Comes with his stately stride. Then one, Ellet of Ready, Strode out before the crowd; Well known was he to all t he crooks, And they gave him greeting loud. And when the face of Thracksy Was seen among the foes, A yell t hat rent the firmament From all the turkeys 'rose. But the Thracksy's brow was s ad And the Thracksy's speech was low , And darkly looked he a t the deck, And darkly at the door. Then out spake Sugar Wright, From the sugar land came he : "Lo, I will sta nd at his right hand, And catch Thrack's Jack with thee." And out spake little Olin, Proud of his luck was he: " I will abi de on his left side, And throw the game to thee." Then out spake brave, old Bowser, The guardian of the gate, To every man upon this earth Luck cometh, soon or late. And how can man do better, Than facing fearful odds, To try his luck with others In a s nappy game of cards. S. D. MARTIN.
