Carroll Jloore paggarlp, &. p., ill. 30.

HE wings of man's life are plumed with the feathers of death."'

So said an old­time sea king, and proved the truth of his words by his own untimely death. So thought the writer of this brief appreciation when, as flashed from a clear sky, came word that his friend, Carroll Baggarly, was no more. Grieving still at the loss our whole college sustained in this painful event, I yet' have joy to do honor to a true and noble man.

Carroll Moore Baggarly was born March 13, 1873. His life was a life largely of preparation. Nearly all of it was passed in institu­ tions of learning. Educated at the Randolph­Macon Academy at Bedford City, the Randolph­Macon College at Ashland, and the University College of Medi­ cine in Richmond, he taught in several schools and colleges, including six years at Richmond College. At the time of his death he held many positions of re­ sponsibility, and was a member of various learned and social societies of Rich­ mond and Virginia. In the midst of all this activity that dreadful scourge of men, typhoid fever, sapped out his life. He died at the Virginia Hospital, Sep­ tember third, nineteen hundred and eleven.

Professor Baggarly, in the judgment of this writer, was a gentleman of the highest type—amiable, cheerful, helpful; a scholar loyally and enthusiastically devoted to the pursuit of truth; a teacher of growing efficiency and power; a servant of the people, a member of the heroic army of those who have suffered to relieve suffering, and died to prevent the death of their fellows; a Christian who loved mercy rather than burnt offerings, and good deeds rather than loud professions.

I would say his life was short, far too short, it was; but then "We should live in deeds, not years; In thoughts, not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial.

We should count time by heart throbs, He most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best."

I would say, I grieve he lives not; I do that he works no more among us.

But still I know full well he both lives and works.

Ctittorial "A little while to play, and then we go Into the great zcorld where men foil and fight!'—F. GAINES. UR little prelude here, if we but make it so, is full of interest and charm. You who in your happiness have nothing to battle with are joyous, but we who must face the struggle single­handed are perhaps a bit too cynical, too morose, too condemning. We have fought that evil, aye, in the long night watches we have wrestled with the demon of solitude and helplessness, until the gracious presence would seal our tongues against the faithless and the indolent. Have you ever hoped against hope, struggled until the very soul would burst of anxiety, bear the burden of another's woe and feel how bitter is the sting of misplaced confidence? If you have, then you may in some wise know the angry pangs that bite at the heart and will not let it be.

We have attempted to give you back, you men who are leaving now these happiest moments of your life, something of the gloriousness that was in them, some of the reminiscences that may lighten up your future years. You may rejoice in the brightness of them and wonder how it all could be. This is our little life, not "rounded with a sleep," bint perfumed with the daintiness of thoughts fr^sh born, originality, and the greatest of it all—free thought.

Here ambition knows no bounds; no St. Helena isolates you from human­ ity ; no stocks or dreads of Inquisition hold you down; but the soul may soar to heights sublime and live in undisturbed freedom. Well, sooner or later we must be rudely wakened out of it all into the battlefield of life, "where ignorant armies clash by night."

To our judges we bow in silence. To the time­old critic, who like the vul­ ture calmly watches the sparrow fall only to devour the supine form, we cry, no mercy. You who have done your duty may repose in peace with the just assur­ ance of an obligation truly met. You others—but we must remember the Chris­ tian spirit. There is a longing in our soul to feel again the joyousness of the sunhine, the call of nature, where all is true and where we may never hear the "turbid ebb and flow of human misery bringing the eternal note of sadness in."

"Granie" is a lovable lad. To some in the college he is an athletic light whose pluck and daring have stamped "man" all over him. To others he is merely a smiling, affable, joking boy. To still others he is the true and noble bodily expression of friendship. Our hearts have thrilled as he dashed down the field with the pigskin under his arm, and then—well, ask the official physi­ cian if it was pluck or foolhardiness. We have risen on our toes as he shot by a Washington and Lee man and showed his dainty feet to him for a good four­ forty. What the significance of all this ? Listen: It means that in the game of life, in the race of existence, "Granie" will be found among the leaders, and his success will be attributed to his silent, dogged determination to win.

In his early college days this atom of humanity was dubbed "Baby," and the appellation lingers yet. He has also been likened to various other things.

Those who run against him in the dark mistake him for a pile of trunks; those unfortunates who play against him on the football field think of him as synono­ tnous with the Rock of Gibraltar; while the Co­Eds., whom he industriously chases across the campus, know him as a little "cherub." Don't let that affec­ tionate, diminutive "baby" mislead you. In intellect, as well as in physique he is an infant of vast proportions.

Cook is famous chiefly for the varying types of "calico" that he can bring to the Philologian receptions. That boy is some lady­killer. Along with the supreme passion, the gods endowed Cook with consummate ability to ride a pony, faithfulness to our medium of religious expression, viz.: the Y. M. C. A., and sundry other qualities which need not be mentioned here But the immortals never intended Cook to manage the Senior ball team.

Croxton is a preacher, but to his everlasting credit be it said that he is not of that brand "that made Richmond College famous." That is to say, in spite of the above mentioned handicap, he is a genuine college pian with interest in real human affairs, and not yet angelic. Would that more of our young divines might live up to his standard!

In spite of the fact that this boy pulls about the best grades in college, he still has many good qualities. We all know his ability in the class­room; only those few who know him well are aware that no man in college surpasses him in loyalty to his friends and his Alma Mater. Davis is a preacher, but even that cannot overcome the innate generosity of soul and loveliness of spirit that makes the gentleman.

All of us know Bill. He is such a big fellow physically and otherwise that you can't help from liking him. He is the kind of man, who with the force of his convictions behind him, make one feel that here is a man who knows what he is talking about. Yet he is so all­fired serious about everything that we some­ times think that he has no sense of humor. We can hardly blame him, however, for men have lost hope, love and even religion when serving in a similar capacity wherein Bill displayed such stoic concentration, i. e., the editor. Outside of one or two escapades at the Woman's College, we are reasonably sure that Bill's academic life, at least, has been anti­feminine, to his eternal glory be it said.

Horace has done about as much and made as little fuss about it, as any man in college. Whether it be his society, his class, his frat., or his college, no one has ever called on him in vain. It's not an easy thing to be altogether self­for­ getful, yet Horace comes as near it as any man we know. Rumor says he has a rotten sense of humor, which makes him unfit for the company of our ministers.

Is he the loser or our dear ministers?

When the fact began to dawn on us that Sadie was a Senior and would soon be listening to those summons come to join that mysterious realm outside our college life, we began to feel vague, uneasy suspicion that, with all due respect to Browning, there was something wrong with the world. Perhaps it was the shock of it,—for how were we to guess that a basketball, tennis, and volleyball player, the president of .the Chi­Epsilons, who never refused to rush in what angels feared to write of any amount of nonsense for any given occasion, who has never yet offered an excuse for omitting a dance or a picnic, who makes our candy and snow ice­cream in the same cheerful spirit in which she performs the rites of Chemistry Lab.; who edits "Advice to the Love­lorn" with the same look of innocence with which she faces Dr. Wise when her pony has slipped to the floor,—how could we ever have suspected that such a model Co­Ed. could be meditating treason in the form of B. A.'s, and senior essays ? It is hard, after such deception, to bring ourselves to the point of a graceful parting, but on recollection of the fact that by kind treatment we may keep her from Wsahington for a few months at least, we have brought ourselves to the state of bidding her a hearty "Sweets to the sweet,—a long farewell."

He's such a nice, sweet boy. That, at least, is what the girls, Sunday­ school teachers, W. C. T. U. workers, etc., declare, and we suspect the damsels are right. Seriously, it is doubtful if one thing can be proved on him that was even naughty. And now he is going across the waves to save poor, dying souls.

Isn't that heavenly? But Bob better watch himself if he lands in a country where more than one girl can claim a man, or he will find himself surrounded by a harem.

FRANK GAINES, CASCADE, VA. the vulgar flight of common souls."

Rarely do we find such a combination of virtues bound up in a single soul and seeking expression through the medium of pen and speech as in Frank.

Frank is a poet, an orator,­oh, well, if we must say so, a preacher You would never suspect the latter, but the other two are written all over his form an countenance. He is a man destined for greater things than the pale of his pro­ fession will enclose,, and hence we say there is cause for sadness Not that we believe that his light will be hidden under a bushel, it will not; but because we are so constructed as to think, or rather believe, that greatest economic use­ fulness does not lie within the domain of his choice Still there ,s consolation in the thought that he must have chosen wisely, for lie thinks. ^ \\ e wo not say to him, "Come out in the world with us and fight the battle, but rather "God grant thy right hand power, Frank, to stoop down ,n thy passage and help the cause of humanity."

Vaughan is a very useful boy. He reflected glory untold on his Alma Mater by his work on the track team; he performs valiant service on the Senior baseball squad, and in the summer he goes forth with his little cane and satchel to propagate the Word. Folks say he fairly flooded the Tar­heels with Testa­ ments and things. But for all that he's a jolly good fellow, always fair, square; and when we want a man who'll fight to the last ditch for the Red and Blue, who's always reliable—there's where Vaughan comes in.

No, gentle reader, Billy is not a preacher. We don't know why. He's good enough, plenty good to be a preacher. Perhaps it s because he s too good, or perhaps it's because Doc. Thomas' theory of evolution has unsettled his the­ ology. At any rate, Billy is not a preacher. He has kept in his own little corner of college life. He dwells "amongst the untrodden way." But all the time Bdly has been doing his work—a man's work at that. His record shows no task avoided because it was hard, no opportunity neglected, and no duty left unful­ filled.

Believe me, Ed. is a politician. The way he handled those Philologians anointed of the Lord, would teach something to Boss Murphy. For the details see Welsh. But Ed. demonstrates that even in politics it is possible for a man to play clean and fair, loyal to friends and square toward enemies. Ed. has stood for something in almost every phase of college life; in scholarship in liter­ ary work, in athletics, and in the social life, we recognize him as a representa­ tive, well­nigh ideal college man.

Applicant for B. A. Degree. Class Base­ ball Team 1910­T2; Captain Class Baseball Team 1911; Club Editor SPIDER 1912.

Johnny's chief claim to notoriety lies in the fact that he collected such an aggregation of ball tossers from out of his class that the Ellyson cup was easy fruit." We were Juniors then. Of course, Johnny knows that now we are Seniors we are getting too old for the frivolities; we have been good ones, you know, but years will tell. Johnny's greatest fault is that he is so quiet that you must v/ork hard to make his acquaintance, hut its woith the labor.

Everyone knows that the South Carolinians are the salt of the earth.

Well,. Hawkins was selected to salt Richmond College. He done it—as we say down there—everything he puts his bond to, seems to him. Ask the William and Mary debaters. The success of the Philologian Society is due more to him than to any other man. He is tireless in behalf of whatever enlists his interests.

"Hawk" is something of a politician, but what's that? We all have our little failings, and when that boy leaves, there will be a big gap in the student life.

Applicant for B. A. Degree. Chi Ep­ silon Literary Society; John Marshall High School Club.

John Marshall High School sent us this student. But "mirabile dictu," she hasn't needed the assistance or inspection of "Labor omnia vincit," the motto of her first Alma Mater. When Amy studies, is not known; she goes to all the shows in town, does stunts for "sweet charity's sake," reads Spanish for Miss Reams, and corrects Latin exercises for the unsophisticated Fresh­ man. Her only college grievance was Math. A. It was rumored that her amy­ able disposition suffered a radical change from this class, but ye are glad to note that during this year, under the diverting influence of Modern Languages, it has been entirely restored. Then, too, Miss Kratz has now an enviable dis­ tinction in Chemistry, and if she pursues this work we prophesy a notable and successful career.

We are prone to erroneous judgment. If you'd see Lawrence as I've seen him, in one of the Bible classes—why, he looks seraphic. Really, though, it's not that bad. The chances are he's asleep. He's not a saint, however much he looks like one. He has too much sense in the first place, and—well, he's not exactly that kind of a boy. As a matter of fact, Lawrence has more ability than he looks like he has—(that Jasper look again). He has been one of the mainstays both of his society and the Athletic Association. And along with his ability, he combines so much affability and culture. No finer man treads the campus green.

Nature has done enough if she endows 11s with the faculty of realizing our own importance.

Miller is the typical expounder of theology, whether you think so or not. He is the typical college man also, for under all circumstances he upholds the dig­ nity and good name of our institution. If you do not believe this, see Livius Lankford's account of the Glee Club trip to Farmville. Miller is a zealous worker for the Y. M. C.

We take our hats off to him again fo the excellent manner in which he engineered the collegiate student conference.

Monty is nothing but a big, soulful, sympathetic boy. If he frowns upon you it is but the precursor of a smile. He is jovial and good­natured; more­ over he is chock full of college spirit. Monty came to us from the High School, where he was liked, and his personality soon won for him a lasting place in all our hearts. Although his calling in life would presuppose narrowness, it is safe to say that there is not a man in college whose interests are broader, whose sympathies are deeper, or whose grasp of human life is more comprehensive.

Harry felt that Baltimore City College could offer him nothing more scholastically, so he journeyed southward. Only those who know him inti­ mately would ever suspect the breadth of his views. He never did anything that was mean or low or even wicked; hence we cannot judge him. His only fault lies in the fact that he is unaffiliated with the wide college interests simply because, as he has said, he has not the time to devote to them. We do not be­ lieve that it is lack of enthusiasm; in fact, Harry attends all the rallies and roots like a fiend at the games. Systematic and concentrated application would sum up his academic life.

Lewis is a peculiar chap. We might say he was unobtrusive and bashful, but some recent conduct assures us that just the opposite is true. You have only to glance into the Junior laboratory to substantiate the truth of this state­ ment. To the writer of this sketch, who frankly has no patience with the dainty little creatures ( ?) who infest the laboratory, Lewis' attention is nothing short of marvelous. It only goes to show what application can accomplish, and herein lies his genius. Surely the attraction can never counterbalance the precious hours devoted to the absorbing interests of scientific investigation. We'll have to hand it to the Co­Eds., though, for they certainly can pump him for more, with one coy glance, than the rest of the poor ordinary men could extract with a suction pump. We wish him all success in the further pursuit of this science.

Broun came to us from Richmond Academy. His life among us has always stood for two things mainly: friendship and cheerfulness. He first broke into the limelight of college notoriety upon the courts. His wicked serve and scare­ ling "lob" balls soon made him a formidable opponent, until they finally won the Tennis Single's Medal for him. Scholastically, Broun is mediocre, somewhat like the rest of us. His cheery smile, however, cannot be attributed to that pleasant condition so much in vogue with some of our optimists, where ignorance is bliss, but rather to a good­natured appreciation of what's what and how. If we could judee p"srht from the auspicious beginning we should say that he has a future before him.

Harry is a firm believer in the powers of music ''to soothe the savage breast," whether he accomplishes the desired end or not, is a question for you to decide. True it is, however, that he labors assiduously over Chopin, Mozart, and Greig. Heinie Edmonds regards his efforts as wasted energy, because in his opinion Harry has a future before him if he will only emulate Cohan or Karl Hoschna. But Harry says he cares little for what Heinie thinks, because he makes him just that angry at times that he could crush a grape, so there.

And judging from her success in Senior Math, it must be a capital method. Though not so voluble as the average Co­Ed., this characteristic should not be taken as an evidence of paucity of ideas. The fact is, she never expresses any except those of such brilliancy that they mustn't be expected to occur often. It is seldom that one hears Jessie giving her opinions "pro or con" about questions of minor or great importance—she expresses her approval or disapproval with the sparkle or flash of her expressive eyes.

He is a man of wide experience, having been as far west as Petersburg and as far east as his passage on Cook s 1 ours of Europe would carry him. He returned from Europe with the opinion that this world, or at least the old part of it, is full of wicked­ ness and he has decided to check that rampant tendency to evil by opening a mission in Seventeenth Street. Part of the time Stiles really says something when he talks, and its worth while to endure his usual rattle in the hope of catch­ ing some of the precious grains of wisdom that fall from his lips.

Ever since Gray's ambitions began to lead him to the political honors which his ready smile and graceful tact easily brought him, he has been the criterion for all college politicians from Captains of Industry down to those aspiring to the position of hall managers in the literary societies. His political career dates back to the good old days when Howard McBane was running wholesale for offices. Whether there is a campaign on or not, Gray is there with the cigar and inquisitive smile. Only once did Gray break away from his code of political dignity; when he donned a football suit, on which occasion he truly went from the sublime to the ridiculous. Gray has had wide experience in the insurance business, and it is probably due to this training that he never sticks on less than threes. The manner in which he disproved the theory of the advantage in the momentum of an early start still has ' Baby Benton guessing.

Stanley has tried the various degrees of education in his upward search of knowledge from Randolph­Macon to Richmond College, by way of Harvard.

Stanley is now busily engaged in mastering the art of tennis playing, with a little study of law thrown in now and then as a pastime. Yet full oft has the moot court rung with his sober pleading and the wise owls shook their heads at his prodigious knowledge. When Stanley gets behind a case with the vim that he puts into a hot game of tennis, the historic old town from which he comes may wake up some morning and find itself more famous.

"Merry" has made himself conspicuous by his wholesale participation in athletics. He might well fit into your hero's part in the "Classics" of Burt L. Standish. Socially, "Merry" is a bright constellation in himself. He's really not such a bad fellow when you know him well, but there are those who only judge by outward appearances, often that judgment is distorted. He has served his college well, and we could praise him no more than by saying, "He did his duty.

Sometime in the dim regions of the misty past, Dick journeyed down from Fork Union, and has remained with us even unto this day. Dick, when feeling in proper spirits, is something of an athlete, and often his prowess has dazzled us with its meteoric light. Finding the dull routine unequal to his love of ex­ citement, Dick usually remains housed until some special crisis calls him forth.

Dick spends most of his time in quiet study, Shakespeare being the victim, but he is always on hand when anything of interest to the college is going on. On account of his musical symptoms, Dick has repeatedly been chosen Chief Rooter, and his popularity makes his name as familiar on the campus as that of Justice John to the "niggers" of Richmond. In fact, such are the hallowed memories that encircle him that at the completion of his college course we feel certain that he will be elected to the Board of Trustees.

The manner also in which he handled himself in tne defence of his personal liberty on a certain occasion mark him as the cool­headed thinker. But we can scarcely blame him for retracting from his set purpose. Smith has been of real service to the Senior team, and his in­ terest is duly appreciated. If there is any credence to be put into the theory of heredity, Smith bids fair to startle the judicial world.

Tommy is such a genteel, quiet fellow that it is a real pleasure to associate with him. After doing some preliminary work down at Old Point Comfort Col­ lege, he decided to honor the legal profession with his concentrated work and clear judgment. Although Tom has conquered Torts, Real Property, etc., he has failed to conquer the gentle art of dancing, and many times we have seen him earnestly laboring with some patient damsel down at Harrison Hall. Tom is famed for his cleverness, only once to our knowledge was he ever "sucked" in.

On that occasion he allowed the dignity of his high office to overrule his better judgment. Well, someone peached, and Tommy was deprived of the pleasure and honor of introducing the next President to our august student body.

Aside from his favorite amusement of rendering the final decision on all weighty matters, John usually adheres to the maxim that silence is golden. There is one question, however, upon which John refuses admission, namely: Why we couldn t use our season tickets at the Randolph­Macon game.

Junior Class instorp T is the joy of any historian to be able to record evidences of growth and progress. Perhaps no era in the life of our college has been so signalized by such evidences as those of the present session. We are already in sight of our Greater Richmond College and we realize the large scope of opportunities which it will afford; but even within our present environment there is a multiplying of forces and a consequent, natural and rapid development.

Perhaps the most important event of our class this year, has been the sepa­ ration of the Law and Academic departments. Heretofore the Law and Academic schools of our college have always merged the two senior classes into one for organization for the finals, and it worked well. But since each division has assumed such proportions, it has been agreed that the present Junior classes should preserve their identity in 1913, by maintaining equal representation in the commencement exercises.

Turning from the work of the class to the personnel, we become enthusiastic.

Our class can boast of athletes, artists, orators, "grinds," and the additional "loafers."

In athletics our class has played a conspicuous part. We have been well represented in foot­ball team by Acree, George, Lankford, and Tyler. At the Indoor Track Meet here this year, the class was represented by Vaughan and Beale, our speeding wonders. But the distinguished pink sheet of the Times­ Dispatch has immortalized sufficiently their names, and personal pulchritudes, and modesty forbids any further elaboration of the subject.

Along with this great love for athletics, there are some among 11s who have a deep appreciations for the aesthetic side of life. We have said that there existed an artist in our class, and when the readers see the wonderful frontis­ pieces and other illustrations of this SPIDER, they will all agree that Mool's ex­ quisite tinting, and his perfection of technique have a charm peculiar to him­ self alone. It would be necessary to speak of it in poetry to do it rigid justice.

In our class we do not develop one side of our character to the detriment of the other qualities which may be equally as important. Together with our ardent love for athletics, and a deep appreciation for things aesthetic, we recog­ nize at the same time elements that may be developed into oratorical force and fervour. We find these elements centered particularly in J. W. Eliot. Jr. We

have recently discovered that this gentleman is also a poet of fame and thrown in as "also ran," and a noted math. star. It may be true that it is easy to find men on the campus who are lights in one line, but we must admit that it is very unusual to find a man with such a diversity of accomplishments.

It is rumored that his poems have been published in several volumes and translated in three languages. They can, no doubt, be found at the book store.

Now, since the historian is a Co­ed she feels a delicacy in making positive statements concerning the beautiful and charming members of the gentler sex that grace the class of 1913. It is sufficient to say that notwithsanding the fact that Co­education has been violently opposed in other schools, yet the faculty and trustees have allowed us an equal chance here and the number of Co­eds in­ creases annually, and to such an extent that we have been promised a new Col­ lege all our own at Westhampton.

The above mentioned persons are matriculants of a somewhat recent date.

However we must remember that our class is honored by an antique. No one seems to know just when he did enter college, and no one understands his reasons for "hanging on." Some think that he is particularly fond of the old school from which he won his athletic laurels, for "Tip" was really a football star; others suggest that since he is Irish he might have acquired a great love for Virginia. It is also thought that probably he is too old to assume the great re­ sponsibility of a degree. But we haven't time to argue this point.

We could spend hours in writing the plaudits and powers of such persons as "Little Heine," Miss Brugh, Miss Sydnor, Dr. Hart, and others, but: \

"To such names sounding What succeeds fitly as silence."

We have tried to portray a few characteristics of the class of 1913 as it now is. We do not dare dip into it's future. We can display conditions but must await results. Howsoever we are anxiously awaiting the time when we shall don cap and gown together with a supercilious air, and march around with faculty and trustees.

We are hoping the honor may soon be our s.

^opfjomore Class History E\'ER did Pioneers struggle with greater difficulties or accom­ plish more surprising results than the class of 1914 has done.

Whenever time demands men there are always those who are ready to respond.

On a calm day in February, 1911, a band of faithful "Rats" met and secretly planned for the banquet which was destined to mark a turning point in the history of Richmond College Freshman classes. Of course, all things went well, and the timid ones who feared that possibly the end would not justify the beginning soon had their minds set at rest by a gathering of friendly upper­classmen in Memorial Hall on that memorable night. But it is unnecessary to harrow with a new account of the feelings of those good­natured bone­heads who thought they were the dictators and who discovered their mistake, for it is all quite clear in their minds to this day. However, is no respector of persons, and it must always tell the truth no matter if some would prefer that all the truths were not told.

Our class is not so large as it was last year, owing to the fact that some fell by the wayside and others whom we hope to have with us later were kept away for good reasons. Honey boiled to a small amount becomes sweeter, you know. Notwithstanding our smallness in numbers, we had enough men left to afford an escort for about seventy­five handsome "rats," who were shown the way to a famous spot on the campus provided with tables strong enough to bear up the most eloquent speaker. Among those who shone that night were, "Judge" Fiefield, who gave us a "booful" talk. "Rabbi" Wilker­ son made a graphic description of how eggs are scrambled, (and almost got his shell cracked). Many there were who amused the appreciative audience with music and song, but we forbear to name them lest we intrude on the rights of another young historian, whose business it is to attend to those stars.

But aside from athletics, which were aided by several members of the class, and even beyond the contemplation of those heavenly creatures' called co­eds, who come to make our lives worth living, stands out that great goal towards which we are all striving—culture. A class is strong, or weak in proportion to the diligence or negligence of the members. Now, no one has proved himself a genius, nor is anyone towering above the rest in popularity, but all are moving steadily onward, as one. This is as it should be. For

does not undue exaltation of one, both spoil him and cause those less fortu­ nate to fall into that insidious and cruel jealousy which "hath a most vehement flame?" May we continue to grow in wisdom and knowledge, not wasting time in foolishness but seeking to learn the true meaning of life. Exactly one­ half of our course is past. There remain two more years of work, and although this time will not be burdensome we feel like singing: Oh! Fourteenth year we sigh for thee When will the moment come.

When we shall lay our books aside And take our sheepskin home?

Jfresfiman Clas^si i^tsitorp HE beginning of the session IQII­'I2 found Richmond College invaded by a company of Freshmen nearly one hundred strong; perhaps the largest class in the history of the institu­ tion. After a "hot political campaign" we met for organiza­ tion. And let us say here that this campaign developed some of the shrewdest politicians imaginable. Even our dignified Seniors, who are so old at the game, could not have em­ ployed better tactics.

This excitement being over, we began to take an active part in all phases of College life. In fact our activities date back to those first few nights when, in answer to the hideous cry "Rats out," we came forth and participated in several track events, oratorical contests, and rendered: "Such strains as would have won the ear Of Pluto to have quite set free. His half regained Eurydice."

In all branches of athletics we were well represented, with the exception of track, and although we were not so fortunate as to have a man on this team, we furnished a quantity of material which some day will win laurels for old Richmond. Our members have taken an active part in literary work, and are measuring up to the standard in the class room. But our chief accomplishment is yet to be told.

Not to be outdone by the Freshman class of last year, we decided to have a banquet. Wednesday evening, February 7th, was the time appointed for this "feasting and rejoicing." About two weeks previous to this, the "Sophs" received information from several of their feminine members to the effect that our banquet was to be held the following night. Consequently about dark, four Freshmen, supposedly "the Committee," were ushered up to a small room on the topmost floor of one of the dormitories and held in custody; the "Sophs" thinking that thereby they would break up our feast. The news spread rapidly and a great body of Rats assembled, which soon resulted in the libera­ tion of the "prisoners." This little bit of excitement is only a part of college life and one in which we look forward to participating again—but in an en­ tirely different manner. When the time appointed arrived we held our banquet unmolested, and after a feast of good things and a splendid program, returned

Pol. £.

Cf)e ^piOer

87

to the campus where we anticipated war, but contrary to our expectations every­ thing was as quiet as a country grave yard on a summer's night.

But this history would not be complete without some mention of the Fresh­ men "Co­eds." However, as we are not endowed with superhuman descrip­ tive power, we will not attempt anything of the kind. Sufficient to say we have a most select class of representatives of the fair sex. (For further infor­ mation see "Baby Benton.") All of them are loyal supporters of both the "Female Athletic Association," and "Women's Self­Government Association," and also take an active part in "literary work." We have no definite informa­ tion as to the number of "Suffragettes" in our class, but the great interest manifested in Dr. Barnes' lecture, and the fact that several Co­eds are mem­ bers of the "Woodrow Wilson Club" would indicate that they have ideas of their own.

We might tell of the perfect little "lady" "Fraulein" Gardener; of the rising legal light Judge Jenkins; of "Anna Held Newton," who wanted to see Anna Held and who held her; of "Politician" Nelson; of "Quick," the slowest person on the campus; of "Rabbi" Wilkinson, the great mathematican, who being fined fifteen cents in one of the literary societies for visiting the Land of Nod during the program, remarked that he had saved ten cents, for if he had stayed and slept it would have cost him a quarter; and of the many other equally as brilliant, but time and space will not permit.

In conclusion, let us say, that we are young in college life, still we have caught some of that spirit which creates a desire to do great things, and having adopted as our motto: "Finis coronat opus" we look forward to the time when we shall be no longer "Rats" but Seniors, and when we shall go forth into the school of life determined to bring honor to Richmond, the College we have learned to love.

3 ^orb Concerning tfje l atopers of tbe Jfnture HEN Richmond College opened her doors last September, one of the largest number known to the history of the institution applied for admission into Dr. McNeil's law department.

These fellows not only represented every part of the State, and a number of sister States, but in them was represented nearly every walk of life, from a plow hand to a railroad magriate. But we have all forgotten about how much corn we raised last year, or when our lines shall be extended into some new and undeveloped country, and have given up everything but the idea that some day we will be called upon to render a service to a downtrodden and maltreated humanity, and in order that we may be able to deal justice in times of great entanglements and perplexities when widows' and orphans' legal rights and the fundamentals of our government are endangered, we are now spending our time in research, preparing for our life's work.

It is indeed true that Richmond College enjoys the reputation of being one of the leading institutions of learning of the South, but forever will she be to deny, that one of the greatest events in her history dates back to the day when the law class of 1913 honored the institution with its enrollment; for it can easily be seen that in our class there are geniuses and sons of destiny, and, as such, we are recognized everywhere, and at all times as the pride of the college.

Every member of the class has an exalted opinion of his chosen profes­ sion. All are anxious and determined that the prestige of the law shall be maintained throughout the land. Everyone is convinced that so long as people inhabit the earth, lawyers will be indispensable to the safety and general wel­ fare. Lead by these convictions, each one, in the words of Absalom of old, secretly craves: "O that I were made judge in the land, that any man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him."

A word must be said concerning the athletic side of the Junior Law Class, for there are those in this class of strong and robust physical proportions as' well as of brilliancy of intellect. They have gone into the different forms of athletic sports with that same ambition which inspires them to burn the mid­ night oil, and have made excellent showings in both football and baseball on

mi £.

93

cbe ^pioer

the 'Varsity and First teams; and it has been decreed that with what baseball material is life; the pennant shall be taken in the class games.

But perhaps where the class most fully makes manifest the evidence of the great things it is going to do in the future is in recitation, and in its executive sessions. Realizing the men of the legal profession should be active in the legislative as well as in the judicial department of our government, this class has made important advances in that direction. Many are the amend­ ments which it has made to the common law of Richmond College, but for lack of space most of these amendments must be omitted from this article, although I feel it my duty to briefly state the amendment to Section 2323—231 of the now existing Code of Richmond College, which pertains to the matriculation of "Co­eds." This section since amended reads as follows: Any "Co­ed" of Richmond College, who has been a hard student of the college for at least four successive years, who is anti­suffragette and who has not been pronounced "Non compes mentis" at any time during her resi­ dence on the campus, shall be admitted to the law department of the aforesaid institution, and granted equal rights at the bar of the mool­court to plead any case which may have arisen out of this, or any succeeding "leap year" diffi­ culties. This legislation is looked upon with great favor by the female aspirants to the bench, and it is believed that a large number of these fair ones will be enrolled in this department this year.

On many important questions there has been much conflict of opinion in the class room, but the whole class concurs in the opinion that insanity is the craziest thing in law.

In the class room there has also been a marked improvement from day to day in the individual ability to correctly construe the law, and it is almost beyond the comprehension of the "profs." As to the absolute certainty and corrections, with which each member of the class holds on a certain point, when all have arrived at different conclusions. I repeat that the growth of this class has been steady from the beginning, but not until the first exam, did each individual member have so emphatically impressed upon him the truth of the maxim: "Ignarantia legis neminem excusat."

This history may be brief, but the greater part of this class history must be recorded by historians of future generations.

&(je i5>in£ of tftc Jfatfterg HEY had been meeting often since that night her father had driven him out with words which sent the hot blood racing to his temples, when his arm had been raised to strike only to find a frail body between him and the object of his wrath. The love which had been strong was only strengthened, but to­night she was gently reproaching him, and her clinging, helpless af­ fection seemed to stir the brute within him to something like repulsion.

"But when, Jim? You know"—the lips would quiver, the eyes would fill.

"I know, but how am I to help it? We are both to blame and you can see that I still love you, why can't you be reasonable?"

"Oh, you love me, Jim, but Oh, I wish I had never lived to grow up," A shade of pain crossed his face. "Mary," in a gentler voice, "I don't like to hear you talk so. Did anything happen " The sentence was never finished. Her father met them and at a glance the eyes of the two men flashed with hate and rage. The quarrel was short. Indeed, it was so short that he could never afterwards remember how it all happened. But one picture burned its way into his brain and even in all his homeless wanderings in another land it seared his very soul. To his dying day he would never forget that lonely, orphaned girl, kneeling beside the still figure of a dying father. * * * * * * * * * * * * * A man comes down the gangplank from a steamer just docked from Liver­ pool. Tall, with bent shoulders and a large, square head covered with iron­gray hair, he towers above all around him. His walk is rather unsteady and his hands tremble. The deep­sunken eyes, thin, drawn lips, and face over which the shadows come and go, tell of one who has passed through the depths, one whose life still hangs in the balance which flutters between utter failure and mere existence, not success. Oh, how he had loved her down in his heart! And there had been twenty­five burning summers and icy winters since that night and not one word!

He tried to tell himself he did not know whither he was bound, but there was no uncertainty in the journey back to that little New Hampshire village.

If she would only forgive him, he could not ask more, but her last words kept ringing in his ears—she must never know. He must go back even if he could do nothing but catch a glimpse of her; she might even be in want and he was rich.

When he alighted at the little station he found the village thronged with the folk from the surrounding country. There was a feeling at first as if he could not bear the gaze of a single human being, but no one noticed the tall stranger who slowly left the station. His eyes searched ceaselessly for that face. He could not understand the crowded streets and the fear of all mankind kept him ignorant. But the crowd went on and he followed. To the gray, stone court­ house ! A shiver passed through his frame, but no one halted him and he was soon in the courtroom. In a sort of daze he had eyes only for that one face which he sought for with a strained earnestness, but to 110 purpose, she was not there.

Suddenly he heard the judge, "Prisoner at the bar, stand up." A young fellow slowly arose and turned his face—— Oh, God, her eyes! They merely swept over the stranger but his trembling body shrank under them. He clutched the arms of his seat and listened.

"James Hughes, have you any reason to give why sentence should not be pronounced on you?"

"Judge"—the tones almost froze his soul—"I never had a chance, I guess I was naturally mean. My temper got the best of me and I was half crazy."

"James Hughes, you have been tried before a jury of your peers and they have adjudged you guilty of slaying the mother who bore you, and there­ fore " There was some disturbance in the rear of the courtroom. The tall, gray­haired stranger had crumbled up like a leaf in the blast of a furnace—­ but sentence must be passed and the judge kept on to the end—"and may God have mercy on your soul. Sheriff remove the prisoner."

&tcf)monb College iHtfjlettc ^i sisfoctation HE season of 1911 and 1912 finds our Athletic Association in brighter circumstances than ever before, thanks to the initia­ tive of some of our far­seeing students and the clear sightedness on the part of our faculty and trustees. During the latter part of last season a petition was drawn up by a body of students, which everyone signed, asking the faculty and trustees to impose a fee on all matriculants, said fee to go to the Athletic Association; this they did. Every student therefore is a member of the asso­ ciation and already, this plan in the first year of its operation has increased wonderfully the interest in athletics. Each student now feels that he has an undivided interest in the affairs in this branch of college activities, and conse­ quently looks upon those interests as a part of his own. We are encouraged by this first year and cannot but hope for greater interest in the future. The association is now an organization "of the students and for the students," whose power covers the entire domain of athletic activity. It aims to increase loyalty and enthusiasm at all contests and to produce the most good to the college at large. Every student must take an active part in it if it is to do the most good.

It cannot thrive without their support. We must work as a unit if we care to show to the world the best that "Richmond" can produce.

Jfootpall OOKING upon the face of our football season, we are wont to despair, but the team that upheld the red and blue was not the worst team in history. It was a victim of circumstances. In the whole championship series only fourteen points were scored against us. Our goal was only crossed once, and this time on a fluke; each team registered one field goal against us; this does not mean that we had the inferior team; to show some actual facts and quote our leading newspaper critic. In the Hamp­ den­Sidney game we gained ten yards to Hampden­Sidney's one; against Wil­ liam and Alary we were certainly unfortunate, Richmond College making first downs forty­three times, William ar)d Mary once, and yet William and Mary won, kicking a goal from field after recovering a fumbled punt; Randolph­ Macon College gained one yard to our five; these facts were recorded. We can blame no one; Coach Honaker certainly developed one of the best defen­ sive teams ever seen here. We had many stars—Harris, Taylor, Lankford and Gill being the most conspicuous. Most of our men return in 1912, and with our former coach, Dunlop, to direct, we expect a good season.

Wvack 1012 IMULTAXEOUSLY with the coming of Larry Martin, as coach, there arose the greatest enthusiasm in track athletics that Richmond College has ever witnessed. From the first call for candidates until the close of the season this interest never waned; and it had its effect. Our first race was with George Washington University. Hopes ran high when we wished our team success as they were leaving. We won finishing easily.

Georgetown was our next opponent. The Hopkins management advertised this as their star event. Again we finished first, but not so easily. The whole crowd rose as Gary left the mark, running neck and neck. Ancarrow kept close to his man and everyone knew a great race was on. Captain Vaughan took up the race now, and the terrific pace he set had it's effect upon his antagonist; he gave Meredith a five­yard lead. But this was not much with such a speed demon as Chapman to fight with him for first place at the tape. On they went for the first lap, Meredith holding his advantage, on the second lap Georgetown did not gain, and as he crossed the tape a winner the audience rose and cheered to an echo. This year we renewed an old custom and gave a meet on home boards.

Most of the South­Atlantic Colleges and prep schools were entered, and we had one of the best meets of the year: Richmond entered three relay teams, won two events and lost one; the Varsity losing to Washington and Lee, and the second and third teams winning from Fork Union Academy and the Richmond Y. M. C. A. We closed our season at the Georgetown games, winning the relay handily from St. Johns; Meredith also ran in the 50­yard novice and open.

He placed second in the open and won in the novice. Each man on the team and squad did excellent work, but to Larry Martin comes most of the praise.

He worked insiduously and the results stand out as the best testimony to his good work. We wish for you again next year Larry.

HANKS to the painstaking efforts of Mr. Coffman, Richmond College bids fair to add another to her list of major sports.

At present the infant sport does not enjoy the sanction fully of the Athletic Association, but as soon as the lovers of this popular sport can put teams 011 the floor that will compete with the other colleges in the circuit with some distinction, they will not only be recognized, but will probably be allowed to wear the 'Varsity letter in compliance with certain qualifica­ tions. We gladly welcome the inauguration of the sport as it fills a gap between football and baseball. We wish Mr. Coffman all success in his undertaking, and hope that sometime in the near future he will be accommodated with proper facilities for the perfection of the game.

Clas# Jtoe^all EELING the need of unifying the classes at Richmond College and foreseeing that only a cause of common interest or rather antagonism could ever hope to accomplish this end, the Ath­ letic Association inaugurated Class Baseball in the season 1910­1911. When the proposition was put up to the Trustees, Hon. J. Taylor Ellyson very promptly realized the need and generously donated a handsome loving cup which will be held by the College with the numeral of the winning team inscribed upon it every year.

As was anticipated there was great interest shown and the race soon became very spirited between the class of 1913 and the class of 1912. It required seven games to decide the championship and then only after a bitterly contested 10­ inning game. The class of 1912 deserves a world of credit for the way in which they fought an up­hill fight all the season.

The classes composing the circuit were the Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors.

The Seniors were forced to withdraw after a few games on account of paucity of material. 1 his year another club has been added to the circuit, the Junior Law Team, and at this early writing they appear very strong. Class Baseball is now a fixture at Richmond College, and it is hoped that much Varsity material well be developed in this manner.

IPoI. I.

Cxtract from Saspertati J?tgf)ts N the second month of the twenty and fourth year of the reign of King Boaty, lo there appeared a great wonder, for there appeared in the heavens a new constellation of four stars; at which portent did all the inhabitants of Jasperia greatly marvel 1 and did indeed do homage. These mighty planets did encircle their orbit in a marvelously short space of time, insomuch as to cause the inhabitants of a certain metropolis called after their favorite god, George Washington, to sit up, as it were, and take notice. Nay, more, there were some among them among whom there arose a mighty gnashing of teeth and divers weeping and wailing forsooth, he­ cause the constellation held sacred by the inhabitants of jasperia had completed their orbit in less time than had the constellation held sacred by the George Washingtonites.

Now far to the north lay another mighty metropolis by the name of George­ town, and when the inhabitants of Jasperia learned that they had been successful, their wise ones, and their seers, and dreamers of dreams got together nodding their heads wisely and saying, "Go to, let us reason together thusly, for lo, this mighty nation hath boasted, being puffed up with exceeding pride, that she in sooth doth hold right and title to claim her constellation the swiftest one in this part of the heavens. Let us make them even a hissing and a reproach to the nations." And being men of action it was speedily arranged that the two con­ stellations should be put .to the test.

When the due season came for these two constellations to appear in the heavens, lo, many favorable omens appeared among the inhabitants of Jasperia, to­wit: A certain seer Jhimikolman was observed studying one night, and more­ over, he was observed tracing out the course of divers planets by his knowledge of Astrolabe. furthermore a certain Pharisee by the name of Dykrychrds was seen of many to arise and offer incense three times in as many mornings at the temple, called Chapel. More marvelous still, the king's chief musician, Williampete­ wilson arose, and, ere the sun had fully tipped the distant spires and pinnacles in rays of gold, he had hied him over to the temple, called in the Assyrian tongue, Refectory, and did dine and feast sumptuously among the worshippers of Epi­ curus. Encouraged by these mighty portents the inhabitants of Jasperia awaited news from the chief astronomer.

At length from the God Electra, flashed the signal that the constellation

mi i.

Cbc ^>ptDer

173

from Jasperia had beaten the constellation from Georgetown by a second of time.

And now from all parts the inhabitants rushed together and there arose a mighty clamor, such as shook the foundations of the city, and there came many of them from the east, and from, the west and from the north, and from the south, bearing with them their household gods and their choicest possessions, and they bore them with one accord to t.ie fields of Campagnia, and there they placed theii gifts, each his mattress, or barrel, or chair, in one great pile forming the altar which they raised pouring on oil and wine. And behold, when the sacred torch was applied they did join hands and did circle the flames, chanting paeans of victory, singing and dancing and making merry. .

Now there arose certain which said, "It is not meet that we should be alone in this our joy. Let us sojourn into the country lying round about, and let us make glad the heart of them that dwell in darkness," and forthwith all save they that were charged with the maintaining of the sacred fires marched forth, chanting anthems and hosannas to the music of the spheres.

After some fourscore thousand of them that sit in darkness had been en­ lightened, even as they again neared the threshold of the East Gate that leadeth into Jasperia, from the Valley of Bacca (lley) there arose a certain son of Belial, named Georgon, whose very looks turned one, by name Chickwoodward to Stone. The same came amongst us and seizing the aforesaid mighty Chick, did convey him to a certain Court of Erebus, within which were Cops and Chimera s dire, and further back in the dim vastness of the mist night 'mid horrid sounds and shrieks unholy, were heard the weird croakings of sundrv night birds.

And the rest, having followed, were in sore straights and there were many counting of sheckels, and certain there were which said, "lend us also of your store." Others answering, said, "Nay, lest there be not enough for us and you also, besides the stores all close at six o'clock." (For in sooth it was not yet time to again open the stores). Then there arose a great tumult and each strove to give his neighbor the place of honor at the head of the line so that the last were first and the first last.

And the tumult grew exceeding great until certain of the wise ones com­ plained to those in authority the truth, that set us free, for the Prince of the Powers of Darkness being moved, spake unto us saying, "Go on home boys and go to bed. And no man stood upon the order of his going.

3Tt)t ^eart ab a Celt i 've lived in me corner apart, but I've felt All a man can endure in 'is youth; Och! the love that is loved by the heart av a Celt, An' the dreamin' that's truer than truth!

OhI childer, ye childer that prattle and sing, 'Tis nothin' ye knozv av the art Av hidin' the pain that the old thoughts bring To the core av me restless heart.

'Tis no use that it is av me thryin' to read, For the book would be shlippin' away, An' the heart av me hody be cryin' in need For the frinds av a long ago day.

Oh! childer, ye childer, 'tis merry ye feel; May ye niver be k now in' the woe Av a hungerin' heart that iver will kneel At the threshold az' years long ago!

Och ! the cold truths that cut like a knife An' the dreamin' that niver is truth!

Can I settle me down in the rut av a life When I still have the heart av me youth ?

Oh! childer, ye childer that play in the street, Nozv laugh ye and sing at yure best, For ye lighten the step av me draggin' feet, An' a heart that has nowhere to rest.

Eufus Eusttcus INERYY," said Uncle Jud, as he drove the cows up to the "cup­ pin," "don't you mind thet tliar boy o' Hiram Johnson's thet went off ter college?"

"Course I do. Hain't I knowed him since he wa'n't more'n that high. What about him?"

"He's got 'em," observed Uncle Jud solemnly.

"Got em!" exclaimed Aunt Minerva. "Land o' goodness, Jed Thomas, what do you mean? .What's Rufus got?"

"That's more'n 1 rightly know, he's been actin' kinder strange like, 'pears to me, fer sometime, an' now he's got 'em."

"That ain't tellin' me nothin'; what's­he got? Hez he got married, or the measles or a yoke o' steers or one o' them autymobiles like Doctor Blake over at Simpkin's Corners? 'Pears like you could tell what he's got."

"Minervy, you don't exercise your patience enough. Wasn't I a­tellin' you fast enough, only you jumped at conclusions too fast. Patience air one o' the crownin' virtues uv Christianity. Xow thar war Hezekiah Skeggs as alius said how that when " "Jed Thomas, will you hesh up about Hezekiah Skeggs an' tell me what air ailin' Rufus Johnson ef you've got anything tel tell. I've got plenty o' yerbs ter make boneset tea an' the like ef its anything the matter with him home remedies would reach."

"Now, Minervy, ye're off ther track agin, hits this way. Y' know Rufus war alius kinder curious like 'bout religious subjects. Fust he jined the Metho­ dists an' was gettin' along purty well when along come some o' them Seven Days Adventists. They kinder got hold o' Rufus an' persuaded him he orter go to church on Saturday instead o' Sunday, so Rufus didn't 'zactly pull out from the Methodist, but he got ter hangin' with them Adventist fellers. The fust Saturday came wuz 'long about harvest an' Hiram an' his folks wuz a workin' like blazes ter git the crops cut. They missed Rufus, couldn't find him nowhere, but they war so busy they didn't hev time ter hunt him up, so they cut on till 'long about dinner time, an' here come Rufus driving along, a­bringin' the preacher home fer dinner. They hed to drive along by the wheat field, an' Hiram spied them a­comin' an' came up ter the fence an' sez kinder riled like,, "Whar in tarnation hev you been all day, Rufus?"

V o l T .

"Been to preachin'," sez Rufus. "I've been enlightened on the subject of the Lord's Day, and hev found out thet what we call Saturday is the Sunday that we should keep holy unto the Lord. I have brought Brother Donahue down to bring the true light to my loved ones," an' he went on to say how he was pained like fer them ter be gropin' in darkness an' desecratin' the true Sabbath.

Wal the ol' man didn't give him time ter finish, an' ef he is purty strong at leanin' toward the Methodist church, he shore did go back on his raisin then an' thar. Rufus warn't more'n nineteen then, an' Hiram yanked him out o' the buggy an' cut drive on him with a pair o' leather galluses ter beat the band. He never stopped talkin' neither, a­tellin' him an' the preacher what he thought o' sech doings. The preacher tried ter interfere, an' Hiram fetched him a cut with the buckle ends thet made him say somethin' thet sounded sorter curious like fer a preacher, so he took off down the road while the ol' man finished with Rufus. Rufus never said much—hed a kind uv resigned look like he war a martyr ter his convictions, an' purty soon the ol' man sent him onter the house.

Rufus never said nothin' nor the ol man neither thet day, an I spoze Hiram thought he hed him purty well broke. The next mornin' of course war Sunday, an' Hiram wuz alius purty reglar about goin' ter church an' takin' all the family, but when he got them together they couldn't find Rufus nowhere. Wal, they went on without him, an' when they druv by the wheatfield, thar was Rufus in his overalls a­cuttin' wheat ter beat the band. The ol' man didn't say nuthin' but tuck the buggy whip an' started arter Rufus. Rufus seen him a­comin an thought ez how the ol' gentleman was a lookin' kinder flustered like, an' so he didn't stop ter offer no explanation 'bout swappin' Saturday fer Sunday, but he tuck off 'cross fields hard az he could tear, an' the ol' man right arter him.

Hiram hed got purty close to Rufus afore Rufus seen him, but when he did, he lit out fer fair. He war gettin' a purty good lead on his dad an' looked around to see how fur off he war, when all of a sudden he hit a stump hidden thar in the wheat an' down he went like the walls o' Jerico.

Hiram jest about caught up with him by the time he got himself together, an' he fetched him a cut thet came a whistlin' through the air like the ol' Scratch.

Jist the cracker got him, but he jumped clean over five strands o' barbed wire fence. Hiram he'd made sech a lunge at him thet he popped into them wires an' busted clean through 'em. He got tore up wuss then ef a couple o' wild cats hed got him, an' he left a good half o' his Sunday clothes a­hangin' ter the fence. Time the ol' man had righted hisself Rufus hed got ez much start ez he had at fust, an' him a­goin' like blazes.

They wuz now inter a field thet hed been plowed fer peas, an' they wuz a floundering around wuss than the ol' spavined mare in sleet time. They soon got 'crost that, an' struck a brier patch. Time they got through that, they wa'n't

190

Clje ^piDcr

ml I.

care'n much 'bout whether it war Saturday er Sunday an' the things I reckon they wuz a­sayin' ter themselves wouldn't a sounded well in print on either o' them days.

The ol' man gained considerable on Rufus ez he follered in the path Rufus broke through them briers, but he hid hard luck on tother side uv the brier patch.

Ther wuz a purty deep mire­hole thet Rufus in some way got over, but the ol7 man hit squar ez a pancacke. Wal, when Hiram come out o' thet mud­hole, his own mother couldn't a told him from a tar baby. Then rags wuz a hangin' down dejected like, a drippin' black mud an' lookin' like a huckleberry pie gone wrong, but he never let up more'n long nuff ter git the mire outer his eyes an mouth afore he war off arter Rufus again.

They hed got clean off'n Hiram's land by then, an' over onter Jim Prescott's place, an' ez luck would hev it, thet bull dog o' Jim's seen them a comin' an' came tearin' crost the fields ter meet them. There warn't no gettin' away from him neither, for he made a grab at Rufus ­an' took out night 'bout all the gable end o' his overalls an' a good slipe o' meat with it. Rufus yelled like a house wuz on fire an' took up a black gum thet war a growin' in the swamp like.

When the dog got Rufus up the tree he took out fer the ol' man. Hiram fetched him a cut with the whip, but that didn't stop him an' in he came, grabbin' a right smart chunk ut o' Hiram's laig. Thar warn't no other tree in sight an7 so Hiram shinned up thet gum, still a holdin' on ter his buggy whip. The dog he set down on the ground out o' reach o' the whip kinder resigned like, a waitin' fer them ter come down.

Hiram alius wuz a man ready ter turn his hand to the fust advantage come along, an' he thought while he wuz a waitin' he might ez well be chastizuT his son, so he commenst lettin' drive fer who laid ther rail.

It happened thet there wuz a big hornet's nest, 'bout big ez thet milk bucket in the ol' gum thet neither hed seen, they'd been so busy like. Wal, one o' them licks went a lettle wild an' smashed inter thet nest, an' out come them hornets ez thick ez hops. Thar wuz Rufus an' his dad, with the tree full o' hornets, an' the ground full o' bull dog. They wuz shore between Silly arf Carrydibdis, an' wuz torn by conflictin' emotions like. Dunno what would er happened ef things had gone on much longer, but ez luck would hev it, one o' them bugs headed fer the pup an' caught him back o' the ear. The dog lit out fer home er splittin', an' Rufus an' the old man drapped down an' crawled away out o' reach o' the hornets, too dead beat ter say a word. They came on back, en the family found them both in bed when they got home from meetin'."

"Well, I don't see vit what Rufus hez got, Jed Thomas, unless it war them hornets. 'Pears from hearin' you tell it thet he got them all right."

"Minervy, you're a jumping at conclusions already. What I've told you wuz jest the preamble a leadin' up ter what 1 w ar a goin' ter say."

"Well, Jed Thomas, ef you've got anything ter say, 1 wish you'd say it. i've done milked three cows already an' I ain't hearn nothin' yit except 'bout Hiram tryin' ter lick Rufus, an' a whole lot o' mix up an sech."

"Wal, Minervy, you alius wuz impatient like, an' wantin' ter see the finish uv things. Hits like lookin' in the book o' Revelations ter see how the book o Genesis air a comin' out. As I wuz a sayin', Rufus an' his dad quieted down like an he kinder quit them Advent fellers, but twant long afore he got ter readin about thet feller Darwin, an' his monkey tricks, an' got hold o' some kind o' books about elephants an' bugs an' lizzards an' sech bein' frozen up in the rocks an' makin' all sorts er prehistorical tracks an' scratchin' around like.

Ter hear Rufus talk you'd a thought the hull creation wuz turned loose out o' t o ark right here 'round Shuckville. Ez the critters cut up thet way I don't see why Noah didn't drap the hull cargo overboard anyhow. But I guess its all fer the best ez them big things a walkin' round an' bein' so heavy like they struck in the mud an' turned ter stone an' hez given some folks somethin' ter write an talk erbout, an' its well fer everybody ter hev somethin' ter keep them busy. I don't set no store by sech stuff though. I ain't never seen no alligators an' elephants an' wild cats an' sech varmints yet in any land I've ever plowed, an what s more, I ain t expectin' to. But Laws! it wouldn't be no use ter talk ter Rufus. \\ hat good hit'll do him er anybody else ter find whether a toad frog, er the hull menagerie tramped over his dad's place when it was miry enough fer the hull show ter get sunk in the mud like, I can't see. Thet's what he's got.

"What's he got?"

"It's them notions. I'm powerful feared the boy's mind hez turned, er goin' off ter school hez put crazy notions in his head like. He's dug all over his dad's place a trackin' some kind of er thing he's got a picture of, thet looks like a cross between a muskrat an' a giraffe. He calls it a "dinner sours," an' it would shore scare an honest man ter death ef he met it arter dark. Hiram air terrible upset about it an' shakes his head solemn like when he's a talkin' about Rufus.

But it 'taint no use, Rufus is sot in his ways, an' its got ter run its course same ez measles. All the family air powerful cut up about it an' Rufus' Uncle John hez been talkin' 'bout sendin' fer some kind ov er specialist, an' his Aunt Mandv is a calcerlatin ter git the presidin' elder ter come over from Skeesport an' pray for him. She's got an idee thet he's got an idee thet he's sorter possessed like.

I'm a thinkin' thet it ain't any of it goin' ter do any good. Hits got ter run its course, an twill all stew out o' him when he's a diggin' up tracks o' these warm August days. While he's got 'em its a goin ter fair. What do you think he's up to now ?"

"I dunno."

"You mind them curvy like sratches on thet flat rock near Sawyer's Hill, this side o' the postoffice?"

"Yes, what o' them?"

"Wal, Rufus hez got it into his head thet they wuz made by some kind uv a anti­bellum serpent er some sech, an' he's a goin' ter track hit."

"Well, it might er been fer all I know, Jed Thomas."

"It mighty hey, wal, I guess not."

"You guess not, Jed Thomas, I'd like ter knew what you know erbout it?"

"I reckon I orter know somethin' erbout it," said Uncle Jed impressively, "hein' as T se en them marks scratched in thet there rock when we moved the Baptist meetin'­house in eight­seven."'

foetal FALL HOPS.

The Club opened its year rather auspiciously on the evening of October the 26th, at the Hermitage Golf Club. The final dance of last year was given at Lakeside and was a brilliant success. This season on account of the increasing size of the club the Hermitage was abandoned. The dance of the 26th, was attended by a full membership of the club and was a complete success in every way.

The second dance of the Club was given again at the Hermitage, on the evening of November the 28th. Those who had the pleasure of attending the dance carried away happy recollections of the evening. The crispness of the weather made the dancing very enjoyable. The fairer portion of Richmond's younger set were out in full force to the great delectation of the members.

The dance was pronounced a success b­y all those who attended.

WINTER GERMANS. The only dance of the winter season was given at the Hermitage in Feb­ ruary. It probably outdid the previous dances in brilliancy but the crowd was too large for comfort. As usual there was a good time in store for those who attended. It was finally decided at this dance that the Hermitage could no longer accommodate the ever­growing membership of the Club. Outside of this feature the affair was a success in every particular.

SPRING DA NCES. The Easter dance of the Club was held at the Country Club of Virginia on April the seventh. There was a full attendance of the Club, about thirty­three couples. A delightful supper was served in the Club's rooms during the inter­ mission. The beautiful environs and the natural beauty of the situation stamped the Country Club as an ideal place for the Easter Fete. All those who attended were charmed with the smoothness and ease with which everything moved.

Taken all in all this was the crowning success of the social year.

We are all looking forward to the time when Lakeside will again be the scene of our spring and final dances. As we look back over the year that has just passed, we feel gratified at the unbroken success which has attended the efforts of the Club. The membership has grown considerably and every affair has gone off without a hitch. With a good nucleus upon which to build the Club should enter upon another year of success in 1913.

HL\)t Unfit WINNING ST ORY IN THE INTER­SOCIETY WRITER'S CON TEST, MAY, 1911.

HERE was a decided stoop in the old man's shoulders and it seemed as he bent over the big timbers in the shipyard that the sun was so hot and heavy on his back he could hardly straighten up. Yesterday he had fallen prostrate in the intense heat, but a dash of the slimy drinking water in his face re­ stored him, and he was back at work immediately. To­day his head ached fearfully, and he was sick all over, yet he dared not stay at home and rest. For the big ship must be completed and a thousand idle men were waiting to take the place of the first who should be absent. Now he was wondering why his sixty­three years had been spent in carrying the iron and timber while the man who sat upon the crane—it looked like a throne to him—and merely worked his levers, was but a youth. And de­ spite his gray hairs, he knew he must lift the weighty materials while the younger generation was at comparative leisure.

His train of thought was rudely interrupted. As he attempted to adjust a cable around one of the logs, his nerveless hand gave way, the rope dropped and the timber crashed down an incline into one of the dry docks, upsetting everything in its path. The workman started in horror and was wondering if anyone were killed when the foreman came up raging.

"Damn your soul, old man, can't you fix a rope? That log might have killed twenty­five men, and this has happened twice in the last week. It strikes me you are about due for the shelf. Here, take this to the office and get your coin. Cut out the sad story business now and beat it."

The old man took the little slip and turned to the office. He didn't believe for a moment that he had lost his position. Surely the powers higher up would make it all right for a man who had given them forty­five years of work.

In the office the superintendent was the young son of the president. Lolling back in an arm chair, he had a cigar in his mouth and a half­emptied bottle of imported wine was on the little table beside him. One might have noticed that though he faultlessly dressed, with not even a grain of dust on his pumps, and rather striking looking, yet his eyes were bleared and heavy and his handsome young face was turning a deep red from long days and nights of dissipation.

lust now he had an expression of supreme self­satisfaction, for he was reading a newspaper in which was described the noble purpose of a distinguished million­ aire's son who had gone to the bottom to learn the business and to gain promo­ tion as any other man. And the picture in the center of the article was his own.

To this scion of American royalty the old workman, with greasy overalls and with a black face streaked here and there by little streams of perspiration, came and told him he'd been fired, but because of his long service he thought he was due another chance. But the young man looked bored.

"Ah, forget it. You played out fifteen years ago, old fellow, and you are the only fool blind enough not to see it. Go home and rock the babies along with the other old women."

The crowd of parasites in the office who lived off the rich man s bounty laughed at the joke. But the old man passed out into the street, carrying his empty dinner bucket, and the stoop in his shoulders was more pronounced.

When he got home his daughter had prepared his supper, and because it was so hot, surprised him with a glass of cold tea, though even the little lump of ice had made a hole in his savings. Then under the influence of the cold drink his spirits returned and he decided not to tell her that his job was gone.

For the next day he could easily get another, he, a skilled workman. Yes, he was skilled—in lifting and carrying weights.

The next day came, but­not the position. Everywhere, at the meat­packing houses, at the tobacco factory, and even at the big elevators on the river side his gray hair and the stoop in his shoulders betrayed him. And everywhere it was the same story, "Sorry, old man, but we have to draw the line at sixty.

Younger labor is so much surer and just as cheap."

So he went home and told the girl there the whole story. But she laughed lightly.

"Why, it's time you were retiring anyway, dad. Here you've been support­ ing me all my life and now I'm twenty­three and quite able to take care of us both. Besides, don't you think it's time I was making use of what I learned at the commercial school?" And when the girl, excited by sheer joy, had gone out and scanned the want column of the paper, she continued, "Why, they adver­ tise for a stenographer down at the office of the shipyards. Now I'll go down and they won't know I'm your daughter, and you know. dad. there ain't a girl that can beat me at the typewriter.' , She was up early and dressed herself in her best clothes. 1 don't suppose that even the least fastidious would have called her beautiful. Her dress was of a very cheap fabric and her shoes were heavy and by no means small or delicate. Her hair was very straight and plaited down her back. A close observer wculd have seen that her eyes were somewhat crossed and on her lower

jaw was a birth mark that glowed red and ugly against the pallid complexion.

No, she was hardly pretty. Yet, withal, it was a clean, honest face and as she stood before her father to him she seemed transfigured with wondrous beauty.

Because she was his baby, and even the other half of our race knows what it means to love.

She kissed him as she left, "Good­bye, dad."

It was what she used to say when she was a child.

After she had gone, the old man went up to his room. She had not made up her bed, and he was pleased because he could do this for the child who had gone out to earn bread for him. His hands were rough, but then the covering on her bed was rough, and somehow his making the bed did not seem so in­ congruous. And the old man with the stoop in his shoulders lifted the coarse covering as tenderly as though it were fine linen. Then he noticed her old house dress in the corner of the room. She had had it a long time, and it was ridiculously small for her now, but still she wore it when she was at home.

And the old man took it down and kissed the hard cloth because his baby had worn it.

Meanwhile the girl had arrived at the office and the assistant to the young superintendent tried her out. The rapidity with which her eager fingers ran over the keys assured him that she was competent, and he gave her the position.

It was several hours later when the superintendent himself arrived. The night before had been a particularly gay one, and his head was aching. About the first thing he saw was the new girl, who was sitting with her back to him.

He walked up to her and laid his hand heavily on her shoulder. She turned with a little frightened cry. But he removed his hand and his face assumed an expression of deep disgust and dissapointment, and he said: "Don't be alarmed.

You are safe, beyond a doubt. But who soaked you with red paint?"

Then he walked in to his assistant.

"Miller, you are a constant annoyance to my sense of esthetics. I want you to understand that everything around this office must be artistic, especially the stenographers. Give that in here her envelope to­night, for God's sake."

That evening a girl carried away from the office of the shipyards her wages for one day. And a red birth mark was redder than usual because her blood was hot with shame.

The old laborer was trying to think, but his life had been spent in lifting and carrying weights, and he could not reason clearly. He could only know that he was beaten and his girl insulted, and for the first time he realized the

helplessness and loneliness of defeat. And he saw no reason why he should prolong it all. True, it seemed cowardly to leave the little girl, but he had heard of the Christian association that cared for homeless girls, and perhaps she would fare better if he were out of the way. For he bad reached the age limit, he had played out, he was shelved for the last time. Then he thought of the big river that ran by the city's side and remembered that even if it were black and muddy it was at least deep and peaceful.

As he passed by the office of the shipyards, he noticed a big red automobile standing there. The office door opened and there came out a young man, bleat­ eyed and red of face, yet handsome for all that. He jumped in the car, leaned back against the luxurious cushions, took off his hat and bared his brow to the night wind, then directed the driver to his club.

The old man with the stoop in his shoulders watched the big automobile with the handsome young man in it till it passed out of sight down the street. Then he turned and started again for the river.

Cfjristmas €be TALL boyish figure shuffled through the swinging doors of a brilliant lighted saloon, and wormed its way through the hurry­ ing crowds of busy Christmas shoppers that were thronging the streets. He paused in a sheltered nook in front of a toy store to light a cigarette, and as he did so, his eyes fell upon the fantastic display of toys and holly with which the window was filled. "Poor old mother," he muttered. "She used to fix me up Christmas things, but since dad died, we ain't had no Christmas. I wonder if " His hand sought the pocket of his ragged trousers.

"Not a cent left to even get some bread with, and—and we can't have no Christmas."

The boy reeled out into the mass of shoppers that poured by, and was hur­ ried along by the eager crowd. Night was fast closing down, and a fine snow was beginning to fall that stung keenly as the wind whipped it around the corners.

Leaving the crowded street the boy turned down a dingy alley and entered a fail old tenement house that appeared ready to topple over with the first strong gust of wind that rattled it. Passing into a dimly­lighted room he found a drooping little woman, old before her time, shivering over a few coals whose feeble glow gave no sensation of warmth but rather made the cold and gloom seem the more drear. As the draught from the open door struck her, she coughed and pulled her faded shawl more closely about her bent shoulders. Turning her wan face and unnaturally bright eyes toward the young man she asked him if he had succeeded in finding work that day.

"No," said the boy shortly, and stumbled up the dark stairs to a cheerless attic into which the snow was sifting through several chinks.

Throwing himself on the bed, he could hear the old woman down stairs going to the cupboard for the scant rations that yet remained, in preparation of their meagre evening meal, and outside the wind shrieked as it whirled through the narrow alley.

Suddenly he found himself out on the street, fighting his way through the driving snowstorm, and shivering as the wind whipped through his thin rags.

He had no definite idea as to where he was going or what he was doing there.

He was cold and must have more whiskey, he must find the money for it some­ where. As he hurried along the almost deserted street, his head bent to the

blast of the storm, he stumbled against an old man who was slowly picking his way along he slippery pavement, loaded down with bundles.

Suddenly a dark thought, born of the poison he had been drinking, entered Ins mind. Here was a defenseless old man—the street was feebly lighted and almost bare of pedestrians. What was easier than to give him a blow on the head—just enough to stun him—and take whatever he might have?

The youth turned, and with stealthy footsteps followed along in the shad­ ows and dark recesses of the buildings. Picking a loose brick from the pavement he crept, wary as a panther, up into the very footsteps of the old gentleman.

As he raised his arm to strike something made the old man turn, and, taken by surprise, the youth struck with his full force. The aged man fell heavily, his Christmas bundles scattering over the pavement. With a terrified glance about him the boy hastily searched his victim's pockets. As he drew out his plunder, his sleeve brushed the jagged wound in the forehead from which a little stream of blood still trickled down and froze on the cold bricks. One look at the white drawn face so strangely still, and the boy fled into the darkness of the night.

Almost as by instinct he found himself inside the doors of a stuffy barroom, thick with tobacco smoke and the reeking fumes of old casks. Reeling up to the center of the room he elbowed his way to'the stove and shivered as the first warm blast struck him. Suddenly rousing himself he staggered back from the light cast by the open stove door, and in a strangely harsh voice demanded a drink. Again and again he drained his glass while his starting eyes rolled in­ cessantly over the mixed group gathered about the stove. As he swallowed his last glass the goblet crashed to the floor and he lurched into the circle around the fire, muttering incoherently.

The group eyed him closely, and few were too drunk to note the wild, rest­ less roving of the youth's eyes, or the nervous, unsteady manner in which he constantly glanced over his shoulder. For some time no one spoke, and the bar became strangely silent. The fire cast weird, fantastic figures on the floor and ceiling that writhed and twisted as if in mortal pain, and outside was heard the mournful howl of the rising storm. Suddenly the fire flared up and shone full upon the figure of the youth. He shrank back as from death itself, and instinc­ tively raised his arm as if to ward off a blow. The man nearest him caught him by the wrist and held his sleeve full in the glare of the open stove. The boy looked slowly down, and with starting eyes and mouth contorted in a ghastly grin, he saw his blood­smeared sleeve, scarcely dry from brushing across the face of the old man.

Even while his drawn features were trembling in horror the fiery draughts began their work, and in a drunken frenzy the boy raved at the open stove that

cfce ^pidcr

5?oK I .

glared full on him as with the eye of a demon, raved at the mocking row of eyes that stared at him as a pack of wolves watch their victim, and at the long, snaky shadows that twined and clutched as if they were the ghosts of dead men reaching for hisl throat, and above all rose the dismal howl of the storm that wailed without. Casting around a wild, despairing look, in his frenzy he told all, and fell shrieking to the floor.

Rubbing his eyes in a daze, he saw his old mother come hobbling toward him.

"What in the world has happened, John dear?" she asked in a startled tone.

"I heard you from downstairs when you fell."

"Mother! is it you? Am I really here at home, where is—didn't I really kill him? O, thank God! Mother—" and he drew the little old woman down on the bed and knelt at her feet—"Mother, oh, forgive me for all I've made you suffer! I didn't have nothin' to get you a Christmas gift with, but won't you let me be a gift to you, and be your boy again—like I used to be ? Oh, say you'll forgive pie, mother!

The boy's form shook as he sobbed on his mother's knee, and the frail little woman smiled even while the tears rained down her cheeks as she bent over and kissed him again and again.

HE Y. M. C. A. is the only religious organization on the campus.

It conducts the regular Thursday evening prayer meeting, which is often led by pastors, from the city, or members of the Faculty, and sometimes by the students. Through its officers and committees, it strives to uphold the higher standards of college life, to increase the attendance at chapel, and to carry the comforts of the Gospel to some of those in the city who cannot attend church services.

This work is carried on under the direction of a mission secretary and com­ mittees appointed to work at the Soldiers' Home, the Home for Incurables, the City Home, and the Penitentiary. Through these young men, the comfort and solace of the Gospel is carried to many who are shut in from the great throbbing world.

We also have a thriving Student's Volunteer Band with eight members, all of whom are men of more than ordinary ability, and fellow students of whom we are justly proud.

Through the Y. M. C. A., the College offers a course in Old Testament History, the Life of Christ, and in Sunday School Pedagogy taught respectively

by Drs. Harris, Loving and Gaines. These classes meet once a week and count one point towards a degree.

Our membership fee is one dollar. This year we contributed twenty­three dollars to the State Organization of College Y. M. C. A's. We were repre­ sented by Mr. J. D. Kesler at the State Convention which met at Roanoke in April.

Both the leaders of the Y. M. C. A. and the Faculty realize that great re­ sponsibilities will devolve upon the Y. M. C. A. with the changes soon to come and earnest efforts are being made to prepare for the demands of these coming responsibilities.

iSutJfactorp According to the Co­cd. Reporter.

HE June meeting of the Richmond College Faculty was held 011 the first of May in the office of President Boatwright, kindly loaned by the Co­eds for this occasion. The entrance of Dr. Boatwright was so imposing that he might have been mistaken for Mr. Cole himself, but Dr. Harris came strolling along in the desperate hurry evinced by Dr. Wise in weighing the respec­ tive values of Latin synonyms. Dr. Bingham, carefully at­ tended by Dr. White, seated himself with the painstaking care of Dr. Gaines eradicating the weakness of Freshman grammar, or of Miss Ryland adjusting the window shades, and Dr. Anderson, freshly emerged from Virginia History, beamed upon the assemblage with all the effulgence of Baby Benton smiling through the key­hole at Latin B. It was only after the rest of the brilliant assemblage had gathered, that Dr. Gaines was seen rushing recklessly in, muttering breathlessly to himself "Thank heavens Mercer isn't here to see this."

With a face as long as Dr. Metcalf's examinations, Dr. Boatwright called the meeting to order, regretting exceedingly, as he said, that Dr. Morgan had not yet arrived yesterday. Dr. Stewart, who had been previously invited to address the meeting, and had accepted with his usual readiness, was, of course, not present, though no one seemed to be surprised at that. The only thing which did cause a little consternation was the sight of Dr. Anderson adjusting his tie before the hall mirror. The consternation was not due to Dr. Ander­ son's performance, but to the sight of another devotee before Mr. Cole's accus­ tomed shrine. Mr. Cole, however, was reading the minutes in a voice well modulated within the bonds of moderation.

Having survived this exemplary proceeding, Dr. Boatwright began the business of the day as follows: "I have just received a small package for Dr. Wise, and a letter suggesting that it's contents be used freely in his lectures. Might we ask what it contains ?"

The question was useless, for on opening the box a rich odor of spice per­ vaded the room, and under it's balmy influence, Soloman Wise made his first and only joke!

"Thou needs't not shake thy gory locks at me, and say I did it!" All eyes were immediately turned on Dr. Metcalf, who, however, sat staring straight be­ fore him with unseeing glance of Russell Wingfield answering "absent" when

mi x.

c i j e ^ p i d e r

his name is called for Latin recitation. Xow this observation of Dr. Metcalf's was as surprising as the efifect of the Romeo and Juliet lecture on Mr. Wilkin­ son, for no one had thought of suspecting Metty, as naive and innocent as Mr. Koontz sauntering through the library on a summer's day. To cover the con­ fusion of his favorite Dr. Boatwright kindly inquired whether Dr. Metcalf could address the school on the fifteenth; but on learning that this busy professor had already an engagement, the President turned abruptly with the query, "Well, Lewis, are you engaged?"

It was an hour afterwards when Dr. Lewis recovered, and Dr. White, wip­ ing the beads of perspiration from his brow, heard his patient mutter: "Lr—er—Doctor—It hasn't been announced yet!" And the ambulance sped on it's way!

After this manifestation of the dread powers of Venus, Dr. White was heard muttering to himself: "Is Dr. Metcalf Wise Loving Stewart?" Immedi­ ately steps were taken for his extermination, but when a meek voice from the corner was heard to reply: "No, but Lew­is and Harr­is and Dr. Stewart Gaines," the whole assem­ blage collapsed, and had to be restored by the application of Dr. Loving's "hot air tank," so successfully operated by him during the past session.

Once more the President tactfully essayed to cover the confusion, by soli­ citously inquiring of Dr. Gaines if Frank's eyes were out of danger yet. "No, Doctor," replied that professor sadly, "Not quite out of danger." Morgan has still two or three visits to make." And Dr. Morgan thought of another visit that had to be made, immediately.

"If there is any business to come before this meeting," now began the Presi­ dent, in the sangfroid air of Gray Garland presiding over a Senior Class meeting, "I beg you gentlemen to come to order." "The chair is now ready for any motion."

This opportunity was quickly responded to by Dr. Metcalf for an "elimina­ tion from the campus of that degenerate hybrid by courtesy alone, called the English Language," to which he stated, his aversion was only equalled by Dr. Stewart's animosity towards sky­scrapers and Webster's Dictionary. This prop­ osition was received with all the enthusiasm manifested in the mess­hall at 2:10 P. M., on the arrival of Dr. Thomas, but before it could be fully considered, Dr. Bingham electrified the assemblage by calmly handing in his resignation, stating that even Dr. White, after his months of exclusive and untiring experiments with rats, had failed to invent a means of furnishing sufficient brains for the Fresh­ man class of Chemistry A. But Dr. Bins­ham was at last persuaded to withdraw his resignation, on the grounds that, although there we­e no longer any recipi­

ents for Chemistry lore, he was still indispensable as the only dance chaperon of the Faculty.

This closed the business of the day. with the exception of the transformation of Mr. Brown to the model of next year's drawing class, and the Faculty ad­ journed with the dignified deportment of the two o clock raid on mess­hall Dr. White for a moment even losing track of Dr. Bingham in the fray.

But even a faculty meeting is not without it s romance. Dr. 1 homas, assistant laboratory instructor in Biology, remained at the foot of the stairs saying good­bye to the last Co­ed. "Xow, Miss—he began, jokingly, After that last laboratory dissection, how would you like to have a pet monkey ?

"O, Dr. Thomas," exclaimed the lady, glancing nervously around for a fire­ escape, and then bolting wildly for the door. "This is so sudden!

Current Events.

S Johnson has recently published a recently admired poem on "Da mi basia acille," which is, being interpreted, "Kissing may be naughty but it's nice."

This poem has won great popularity in this vicinity, many applications having been received for several copies of the original.

The only other work of distinction during the week has been an essay by Miss Engelberg on "Latin as a Narcotic.

1 his work holds for us the same interest as De Quincy's "Confessions of an Opium Eater," the writer herself having passed through all the harrassing conditions so vividly portrayed in this essay.

Miss Johnson denies the allegory and denounces the alligator.

Wanted—A Maribout, a veil, a ficheu, a rubber, a rattle, and a box of tooth­ picks for Mr. Duval. (N. B.—See Miss Monsell's full desertation on "How to survive a Latin period").

Wanted—To know what became of Dr. Wise's old polka­dot necktie.

Wanted—To know why Miss Clendon never smiles in this direction.

Wanted—An illustrated edition of Miss Johnson's poem. Mr. Robertson does not understand the setting.

PERSONALS. Mr. Lee explains his recent abscence by saying that he lost his book.

Which book?

In this age of materialism, the rare etherial spirits dwelling among us find, alas, that they must come down to earth—even with such associates as those in Latin B. Imagine the surprise of the class, the other day, when Air. Decker protruded his head into these classic precincts with the announcement, "Miss Spiers, your 'Human Body' has arrived!"

Our next number, it is believed, will surpass any previous edition of this periodical. Mr. George, after much practice, has at last produced a poem combining both sense and beauty, and Mr. Wicker's new essay, "Why I voted the wet ticket," as well as his interesting, "Why I hold Air. George's hand," will appear for the first time in publication. Air. Webster will continue his famous fashion talks, in which he has shown such signal capacity for discussing Parisian styles, and "Evening Chit­Chats," by Mr. Wingfield, will be one of the features of this edition. "Advice to the Lovelorn" will be edited by Miss Alonsell—multa passa, cognoscit—and Miss Engelberg will continue her famous scientific discourse—"Antidotes for a Latin period." Andrew Jackson Andrews, following the example of last year's poet laureate, Air. Cawthorne, has resigned in favor of Mr. Duval, and our readers are awaiting the first production of this maiden poet.

{Efjen anb J?oto In days of old, when knights were bold, And maidens fair to see, A stalwart blade from Rutherglade All armored cap­a­pie, Essayed to gain, thru might and main, A Baron's daughter coy.

She turned him down and skipped the town With the miller's buxom boy.

These days of old, and warriors bold Have faded all away, Their fame and worth, in Mother Earth Have mouldered into clay.

But still the maid, all unafraid, Plays Blind­Man's­Buff with Cupid.

So when 'tis "Yes," time's at its best, Don't hesitate, but scoop it.

M rs. Courtney (scooping fly out of bowl of soup) : "Shoo, you wretched creature, that's about the third time I have saved your life to­day."

Dr. Anderson: Two hours' work is sufficient to prepare my class.

Dr. Wise: No man can pass my class unless he puts as much as one hour ana a half on each recitation.

Dr. Bingham: If you expect to make Chemistry you must devote at least two hours on the text.

Dr. Stewart: You can't get French or German, unless you have to talk them, think them and read them constantly out of class.

Dr. Metcalf: Here is a short list of parallel.

Q. Why did the tobacco counter at Wright's Drug Store do such a rushing business just before spring elections?—Evergreen.

A. We list this under the head of foolish questions.

Q. Where does college slang originate?—Dr. Metcalf.

A. This is a difficult question. We resorted to Baby Benton for a solution and he promulgates the theory that the Empire and Colonial are largely responsible.

Q. What should I do when the inspiration to compose verse comes upon me ?—Ambitious.

A. Frankly, go out on the campus and kick yourself and let us start where you leave off.

Q. Is Dr. Porter really assistant in Chemistry A.?—Jealous.

A. No, only to a very limited portion.

A. We have been unable to find a satisfactory solution of this query. Dr. Ryland informs us that it is the silent memorial to it's eminent founder. Fred­ ericksburg Cole ventures the opinion that it is the cobwebby storehouse for all superfluous junk and donation of pictures and carcasses to the college.

Cpitapf# "Where heaves the turf in many a moldering heap Each in his narrow cell forever laid."

Here lies the accomplishment of the football team of 1911. Struggling against insurmountable difficulties and a wearied and unpitying fate, they fell with their faces toward the battle front.

"Say not the struggle nought availeth."

Overwhelmed by the tremendous lack of interest manifested toward those enterprising and self­sacrificing men and women who strove to enhance the glory of our institution and to foster college spirit by an ambitious desire to keep alive the classic productions of this age of the low class vaudeville, the Richmond Col­ lege Dramatic Club succumbed to disloyal support and the lack of the almighty dollar.

"Of all the horrid, hideous notes of woe, Is that portentious phrase, "I told you so!"

Sadder than owl songs or the midnight blast Nipped in the bud of it's usefulness before it could bloom into full power through disinterestedness and prejudice, the Athenaeum Club proved the truth of the adage that only the good die young.

"The rose that lives its little hour Is prized beyond the sculptured flower."

Here consigned to a single mausoleum lies that class of men who fell short of their loyalty in allegiance through their insufficient supply of college spirit.

We pause to place a wreath of yellow roses wet with the dew of lassitude, yet withal, hoping that their calm repose may never be disturbed by winter's chilling blast or with vain Elysian dreams of milk and honey.

"After life's fitful

fever he sleeps well."

"It is not our intentions, but our deeds that count in the final Judgment.'''

To. Mr. G. W. J. Blume the Class of 1912 is greatly indebted for his valuable assistance at a time when assistance was necessary.

To Mr. Philip K. Smith the Editor here extends his sincere thanks for his in­ valuable services as stenographer to this volume. His faithful application at the crucial time deserves the commendation of the Class.

The Editors wish to express their thanks for the excellent manner in which the Co­ed Editors of this volume responded to their obligations. Their's is an ex­ ample that is worthy of emulation.

The editor wishes to thank Miss Ryland for her helpful suggestions in the preparation of this Annual, and regret that a lack of funds and other circumstances beyond our control made it impossible to utilize her ideas.

The Editor desires to thank that portion of the student body whose absolute lack of all interest whatever in the performance of what was plainly their duty to their college and those laboring for it, were satisfied to ''let things slide" and trust in a blind providence that is neither of economic value nor of aesthetic inspiration.
