XVIII PROMENADE WIL Miss Elizabeth Anderson and Miss Margaret Grimes to Lead Dances The approaching week will be one replete with elaborate social events. The Eleventh Annual Fancy Dress Ball, with all of its elaborateness, and pomp, will occur next Tuesday night, while the Junior class Prom- enade will occupy the center of at- traction on the night preceding. Thomas S. Kirkpatrick will lead the Fancy Dress Ball with Miss Eliza- beth Anderson of Lynchburg. M. A. Derr, President of the Junior class, will lead the Junior Promenade with Miss Marguerite Grimes of Fred- erick, Maryland, as his partner. From present indications, there will be over one hundred and fifty to enter into the frolicsurne Fancy Dress Ball. Over eighty students have signified their intention of being pre- sent, while it is expected that fully 50 ladies will attend the event. Over thirty cadets of Virginia Mili- tary Institute have accepted invita- tions from Miss Annie White to at- tend the ball. As usual, there will be a vast var- iety of ‘costume on display at the Fancy Dress ball, but the leaders will, as usual, carry out the Colonial idea. The Fancy Dress: ball is an annual feature with the {ate as near as possible to George Washington’s birthday, for it was instituted as a means of celebrating the birthday of Washington :& Lee’s first benefactor ——George Washington. The costume of the leader T. S. Kirkpatrick will be the full dress colonial costume,while the four vice- presidents Reuben Levtis,Ted Shultz, Ray Smith and Lorentz White, will appear in colonial court dress. A distinctive fancy dress costume has been ordered for the four chairmen of committées—.l. R. Neal, B. F. Woudrufi’, W. R. Burton and W. K. Seeley. 'l'he costumes of the lead- ers’ partners will be in harmony‘ with the colonial idea. The gymnasium will be decorated for the gala occasion, with many beautiful streamers and other bunt- ings. An admission will be charged the spectators and no one will be allowed to view the Ball except by tickets. These will be placed on sale at Boley's Bookstore and other places sometime during the latter part of this week. The music for both dances will be rendered by Wright's Saxaphone Orchestra, which was re-engaged after their first appearance at Wash-'. ingtun and Lee Thanksgiving. Need- less to say there will be boundless syncopation. The Junior Prom, the annual social event of the Junior Class, promises to be a large affair. A number of the Junior Law Class have agreed to enter into the figure and, with this additional number, it is expected that fully 18 will partici- pate. The finance committee, with Lorentz T.

Feeling that the best results could be obtained by the initiative of the alumni, a small group of enthusiastic alumni have volunteered their service to make the reunion a success. L. R. Hanna. R. G. Thach and C. Mercer McCrum are the lead- ers of the plan and have mapped out a course that should gain results. The plan is, in brief,for the alum- ni to interest each other by corre- spondence. It is suggested that" a number of alumni pledge their at- tendance for the 1915 finals and that they inform their friends of their in- tentirns. With co-operation of this nature from other centers at Jack- sonville, New Orleans, Tampa, Chat- tanooga, Memphis, Lynchburg, Roa- noke, Washington, Norfolk, Charles- ton, V.’. Va., Staunton, Danville and Charlotte, it is obvious that Final week for 1915 would be the greatest in numbers in the history of the Uni- versity. .‘._V ,of arranging a special train from L the southern cities to Lexington to transport the returning alumni. The outline of the scheme, while tentative, is simple in nature. The plan was outlined in .the following letter sent to Dr. Smith: “As you know, Birmingham is the home of quite a few of the younger alumni of Washington and Lee, and we have been discussing lately the possibility of organizing and en- couraging, with eight or ten enthusi- astic alumni as a nucleus, a real and live alumni reunion for the coming Finals. For the past several years there has been an attempt by the University authorities and the stu- dent body to foster such a move,but, with no spirit of criticism whatever. we do not believe that successful re- sults can possibly be obtained unless ithe main initiative comes from among ,the alumni themselves. Of course. ithe hearty support and cooperation of lthe students and University authori- ties is abiJlut-sly necessary, but we l Continued on page 2 W. VA. WESLEYAN GETS ON SCHEDULE Will Play Generals in Lynchburg on October 2 West Virginia Wesleyan and Washington and Lee will clash on the gridiron in l915 in Lynchburg on Oct 2nd. With this announce- B. McDougle, the Generals’ 1915 football schedule has been completed. Six games will be fought on foreign fields,wbile but three will be staged in Lexington. The formidable Wesleyan eleven will be encountered after an opening game with Davidson in Lexington. The scheduling of these two battles probably will necessitate a brief siege of training before the opening of the University. The game with Wesleyan is considered a very diffi- cult one, as the West Virginians have established a strong reputation during the past two seasons. Mount Tleasant, the famous Carlisle In- dian product, is coach of the ’ Wes- leyan squad. The engagement with Wesleyan will enable Washington and Lee to continue to play one big game in Lynchburg. Roanoke and Norfolk will be the other Virginia cities to land major engagements. Charles- ton, W. Va., Ithaca, N. Y. and In- dianapolis, Ind. are the other cities that will see the Generals in action. Davidson, Marshall and Roanoke College will play in Lexington. ‘COACH DONAHUE CALLS PRACTICE General Batteries Are Given First Work-out—Prospects Good The long grind of the Spring Train ing season was begun this afternoon when Coach “Jiggs” Donahue’s first call for the batteries was answered by a promising array of pitchers and catchers. Hughie. Jen» lnings, the leading Souhpaw of the 11914 baseball team is regarded as the leading {linger among the candi- dates. Donahue believes that the little southpaw will prove a wonder in collegiate circles this season. In “Buck” Sweetland, the Generals seen: to have a worthy successor to “Jiggs” Donahue, who will be in the major leagues next summer. Besides Jennings, there are Bryan, Striloling and Chafin, who saw some service last year. Al Pierotti states he is a pitcher, while a number of new candidates are expected to offer. Sweetland is regarded as a certainty as first catcher. “fwigg” Twyman, substitute receiver in 1914, will probably serve as first substitute. E. A. Donahue, the newly selected coach, is one of the most promising players that Washington and Lee has given to the professional world. He is a member of the Senior class and belongs to the Phi Kappa Sigma ira- tenity. He is a member of Sigma, fhirteen Club, Cotillion Club and the ‘ Continued on page 5 ‘night at the Auditorium. The lmighty Virginia five has conquered levery opponent encountered during ,the 1915 season and has a distinct margin over the Generals in compar- ative scores. George Washington Universiy and West Virginia Wes~ leyan earned victories over Washing- ton and Lee, but fell before the pro- wess of the Virginia five. But the Generals are determined. For four years, Washington and Lee has met Virginia without suffering a reversal, although the 1914 conflict ended in I} 85-35 deadlock. Coaches Fletcher and Raftery, en~ thused over the marked improvement: of the Generals, confidently expect a. victory. Virginia will outweigh the Generals by several pounds; in point of experience every basketer has had one or more years On the Varsity‘ quintette. Washington and Lee wili present a light, fast and daring five. It wili depend on speed and wits to achieve a victory, but a more confi- ‘dent five will never leave the "Uni- ";e'.' ' ‘ty.

The officials for the game ihave not yet been determined, but will be Central Board men. Both fives have agreed on a Referee, but {he has not yet given his decision. For the past few years, Virginia has not had a large cohort of sup- porters at the struggle. However, the Virginia manager has stated that. fully 200 will journey from Char- lottesville, confident, for the first time in many years, that their team will achieve a victory.Alhough there will be no reserved seats for the engagement, an entire section wilzl be reserved for the Washington and Lee contingent.

NAMED W. & L. Team Will Oppose National Ownership of Railways A meeting of the Debating Council was held in Newcomb Hall last Wednesday afternoon, and the final arrangements for the Tennessee de- bate were completed. The question agreed upon was: “Resolved, that the United States Government Should Own and Controll All Railways,Both Steam and Electric, Engaged in Do- ing an Interstate Business. ” Wash- ington and Lee will defend the neg- ative. The debate will be held at the University of Tennessee, in Knox- ville, nn or about April 17, the date to be definitely announced later. The preliminaries will probably take place during the last week in Feb- ruary or the first week in March. Any student in the University is eligible. The Debating Council will urge all men in school to come out for this debate. as the fortunate ones will get the benefit of a trip and the honor of upholding Washington and Lee on foreign territory. Within a few days a notice willibe posted on the bulletin board calling for candidates,and any who intend to try out will be admitted to the com- merce library, where all necessary ma- terial and a full bibliography will be found. BIRMINGHAM ALUMNI-HOPE TO HAVE GREAT REUNION Continued from pagel feel satisfied that we can get a big- ger crowd of alumni to come back than ever before if we can get cer- tain of the more influential younger alumni in different sections to write personal letters, not at random, ;-but to the fellows with whom they ’were closely associated in school. In short, if an alumnus known that he will be sure to land several of his former running mates in Lexington, no stronger incentive to his return- ing there for Finals could possibly exist. To be more conci-ete,our idea is to get as many of the local boys as can come to definitely pledge their at- tendance a couple of months before Finals and then have each one of those going Write to his closest col- lege friends, naming all of those that are going from here, so that the party written to can count definitely on at least some of his old associates being in Lexington with him if he decides to go. It would also be our idea to get some live alumnus in every other big center of Washington and Lee alumni to do the same thing; in mentioning the other centers of this kind, we refer to places like Jacksonville, New Orleans, Tampa, Chattanooga, Memphis, Lynchburg, Roanoke, Washington, D. C., Nor- folk, Charleston, W. Va., Staunton, Danville, Charlotte, N. C., and any other places you might suggest. There are also some states, like Ar- kansas, South Carolina and Texas, whch have not had a part cular large number from any one place, but which, taking each state as a whole, have been well represented at the University; we could ask a man to take charge of the movement in the Whole state. We would encourage as much publicity as possible between the heads of the movement in the different localities, so that each leader could assure those he was try- ing to interest that a big crowd would be going from this or that other 10- cality. This publicity could be both by direct correspondence and also through the medium of the Ring-tum Phi, each leader being instructed to write the editor of that publication as often as possible concerning the interest he was successful in arous- ing, and giving specific names of those who definitely intended to come. In all cities and sections where the numbers’ warranted it, a special car could be secured at acou- siderable saving to all of the occu- pants in Pullman rates, and it could be planned for others to join these cars at various junction points. For instance, we can get up a car here and could probably get five or six to join us in Chattanooga,Tenn., where a party of seven or eight from Mem- phis might also meet up with us, and probably four or five in Bristol, Tenn.-Va. We could probably get the New Orleans crowd to join us before leaving Birmingham,as Birm- ingham is on the direct route from New Orleans to Chattanooga, on the Q. & C. All of the Georgia alumni could congegate in Atlanta, and get a car from there, picking up addi- tions all along the main line of the Southern Railway to Lynchburg. These are just random thoughts, but we wanted to give you an idea of how we hope the plan would work out practically. We realize that there are a great manysuggestions and perfectionst hat can be made to this plan, as this letter is our first attempt to put our ideas into any concrete form, and we shall thank you to write us fully after advising with any of the other University authorities that you think would be interested. With the ath- letic successes that Washington and Lee has had in the last three years, and with the addition of considerable new equipment to the University,we believe that now is the time to strike in a movement of this kind, and that the alumni would respond more readily than they ever have before. What effect present finan- cial conditions would have )n the success of the movement it is, of course, hard to say, but down in this part of the country, we are very hopeful that these conditions will be materially improved by June. if you and the others with whom you advise think that on account of business de- pression. we should postpone our efforts for another year, we shall be glad to have suggestions from you to this end. We suggest that, in addi- tion to discussing the matter '_with the most interested of the Univer sity authorities, you try to arrange a conference with some of the young- er alumni in Lexington, like John L. Campbell, J. T. McCrum, Mason Deaver and O. C. Jackson. Yours very truly, ROBERT G. THACH, C. MERCER MCCRUM, L. R. HANNA, Of the Birmingham Committee. Edit 3."u?.1;‘as c6Li.Ec..w§ Jswstav J. W.

DE FEATS THE LITTLE GENERALS IN STAUNTON In a garre chock full of fight and thrills, the W. and L. second quint was defeated by the S. M. A. team last Thursday night, the final score being 38 to 20. The game was staged in the Rifles’ Armory in Staunton and was witnessed by an enthusiastic crowd of Cabel sup- porters. The Little Generals put up a sturdy fight but lost out before the superior goal shooting of the Staun- ton boys. Rickey Burton starred for W. and L. at left forward, showing consistent floor work, scoring‘ two difficult shots from the field, and registering four foul shots out of eleven chances. For the opponents, Kivlighan, as roaming guard, was the surprise of the game, for although previously a second team man, he outclassed all his teammates in speed and beautiful goal shooting, scoring twelve of the thirty three points for the victors. The fighting spirit of the second team was in marked contrast to that dis- played a week or so before, against the Augusta Military team. Roger Bear, who captained the W. and L. Varsity last year, acted as Referee. , The lineup: W. and L. Burton White Kerr Hart S. M. A. Randall Moore . Rundell L. G. Prather Myles R. G.

A statement that might pass unchallenged is that not more than ten of the two hundred students, who entered the I‘ b versity in 1914, have looked over a copy of this powerful draft. The present Constitution was revised and adopted on April 14, 1913. If the University can not afford to make this expenditure at this time it appears to us that it would be a practical gift to the incoming class of 1915 to present each student,with his matriculation slip, a copy of the Student Body Constitution and a similar draft of the Athletic Associa- tion.

It has been obvious for some time that such a system wa sneeded and the unani- mous decision of the student body to hold an election to submit it to a final vote reflected the attitude of the campus. It is with genuine fervor that we recommend that the amendments be adopted, for it was the Ring-tum Phi that first pointed out the need of such a system. In the first issue of 1914-15, under the caption of “Sys- tem Warrants:Change, ”:it was urged that a uniform system of accounting be adopted. matters occupy a vital position in every activity, they have been sub- ject to slipshod treatment in many instances.

CURRELIi.ClillJCliillC(i3iIil1‘ATED AT COLUMBIA THURSDAY Impressive Ceremonies Mark Installa- tion of New President of Univer- sity of South Carolina In Columbia, South Carolina, an event of interest to both students and alumni took place last Thursday when Dr. William Spencer Currell, ex-pro- fessor of English at Washington and Lee, was formally inaugurated as president of the University of South Carolina. Washington and Lee was represented at the exercises by Dr. Walter LeConte Stevens, an alumnus of the South Carolina institution and an intimate friend of Dr. Currell’s for many years. The sad death, following a long illness, of Mrs. Currell, Dr.CurIell’s mother, cn the day before her son’s inauguration cast a gloom over the occasion and of course precluded all social functions. '1he inaugural cer- emonies were, however, beautiful in their simplicity and most impressive in their dignity. Following a meeting of the Gener- al Alumni Association in the morn- ing, a procession headed by Governor Manning of South Carolina with President Currell, and composed of the speakers of the afternoon, a large and distinguished body of rep. resentatives of many universities and colleges, the faculty, the state ju:l,' I ard other oflicials, the student body, and many alumni at a quarter past three in the afternoon in front of the Library,and under moss grown oaks, centuries «.1-.l, marched the ‘length of the beautiful campus to the chapel. Here extended exercises iwere held. After an invocation by ’Rev. R. C. Reed, D. D., Mr. Had- idon Johnson spoke in behalf of the lstuderit body. Addresses bv Presi- ]dent Harms of Newberry College, Dr. Stevens. Chancellor Kirkland of lVanderbilt University, Dr. Caren of Ethe U. Bureau of Education and lCol. Ashby Yark, Superintendent of the Citadel, and the principal of the ;school in which Dr. Currell got his early education, followed. It was in great part due to a scholarship won while under the instruction of Col. Park that», Dr. Currell chose Wash- ington and Lee as his Alma Mater. Dr. Stevens selected as the subject of his address “The Relation of Eng- lish to Scientific Education,” empha- sizing the importance of mastery of English to those engaged in science, and of the best methods of attaining this, the foremost of which he declar- ed to be work in literary and debat- ing societies. The inauguration ex- ercises were held that same evening at 8 o’clock in the State House. Gov. erorn Manning, who presided, intro- duced President Currell in a short and fitting speech. President Currell then delivered his inaugural address on “The Relation of the University to the State and the Needs of toe University.” His presentation of the subject was masterly and showed clear comprehension of the matter in hand, which coupled with his easy and polished manner, made his re- marks extremely interesting. At 10 o'clock that evening a smok-. er was given the alumni and visitors, and closed the proceedings. i l An informal dance was given at the Phi Gamma Delta house Saturday evening in honor of Miss Elizabeth Penick of Lync'hturg.and Miss Curdts of Sweet Briar college. The young ladies present were Misses Penick, Curdts, Virginia Barclay, Dora Witt, Kitty Rogers. Stella Cameron and Evelyn Champe.

ANGELO CORTESF, ITARHST, WILL GIVE A CONCERT Announcement is made that Ange lo Cortese, the Harpist, and his com- pany of three will give a concert at the University Library on Thursday, February 11. The concert will be the third and final entertainment of the New York Artists series which are given under the auspices of Miss Annie White. Cortese is regarded as one of the leading harpists in America. He will have with him Miss Frances McLean. a soprano vocalist of note, who will render several selections - during the concert. Cortese, too, carries his own accompanist, Mrs. M E.

Miss White states that she has never seen more flattering press comments than those that Cortese’s concerts have afforded. He is a French-American, but re- ceived his musical eduation in Italy under the leading teachers of the harp.

For the sole purpose of enlisting support for several student enter- prises, a meeting of the student body was held in the Chapel last Thursday. The proposed :amend- ment to the Constitution, the Calyx, The game with Virginia, the Final Ball and the Fancy Dress Ball were the matters of interest to be aired before the Assembly, the second of the year for the sole consideration of matter pertaining to the students. The University band rendered a few stirring airs between the addresses of the speakers. The first matter presented for con- sideration was the proposed amend- ment to the Constitution to institute the Uniform System of Accounting for the classes. Morgan Keaton offered the amendment, while P. C. Buford spoke briefly for its adoption. The assembly voted unanimously in favor of having a special election (0 vote on the ame.idment. J. E. Martin next presented the claims of the Calyx, stating that on account of the financial stringency of business conditions very few ad- vertisements had been secured and the chief burden of support would rest with the students as subscribers. Cards w are passed and a large num- ber of new subscriptions to the Calyx followed. W. C. Rafterv spoke briefly in connection with the Virginia game on Feb. 6. He stated that the team would need support more than ever before, and that it behooved every Washington and Lee man to go to Lynchburg to urge the Generals on. He also announced that a special train would be run. J. R. Neal made his maiden speech when as President of the Final Ball, he spoke in the interest of that func- tion. He explained the manner in which the Final Ball and the other functions of finals were financed and asked for the hearty support and co- operation of the student body in this matter. He Istated that a special effort was being made to bring about a return of the alumni in large num- bers and that a committee with this end solely in view had been appoint ed. E. A. Donahue made a short‘ address on behalf of the Final Ball and particularly of the need for sub scriptions to provide for proper en- tertainment of the returning grad- uates. T. S. Kirkpatrick, as leader of‘ the Fancy Dress Ball, urged support for this important event. He stated that on account of the smaller number attending this year and the greater cost of the music, a general admission of twenty-five cents would be charged all spectators.

Before Packed House The initial performance of the Combined Musical Clubs last Wed- nesday night was the best attraction that has been staged at the Lyric for some time. The three clubs——Glee Club, Mandoin and Guitar and Or- chestra,gave a most creditalle enter- tainment and the whole evening was one of unusual enjoyment. A pack- ed house greeted the harmonists. The program, which consisted largely of popular selections, was rendered in a smooth, catchy manner which showed the result of careful training and a wise choice of well balanced voices. The “Scrap Iron” Quartette.” composed of L. W. Brandon, J. H. Sorralls, Pat Ander- son and Eddie Parks Davis, gave several snappy songs and were called upon for countless encores. The solos of A. M. Birdsall were a feat- ure of the evening. Pat Anderson and Lyons Brandon also received ovation after solos. The Mandolin Club, under the direction of Stuart Moore, though not quite so large in number as usual, showed no shortcomings in the quality of the music and was greeted with enthusiastic applause on every appearance. The guitar-mandolin duets by Minter and Troiano were humorously delightful. No great- er ovation.waa received by either of the organizations than the orchestra, for this organization, led by Charles Switzer, madea distinct hit with its repetoire of popular and semi- classical music.

SENIORS PRESENTED WITH MANY IMPORTANT MATTERS The Senior Academic and Engi- neering classes met jointly yesterday afternoon to perfect arrangements for the Senior Ball, the annual class banquet and the class basketball team. As the result of the confer- ence, quxte a few matters were de- cided. S. E. Oglesby was elected man- ager of the Senior class basketball team and it was announced that pac- tice would begin at once. The Senior class was thus the first to elect a manager. The matter of the menu for the banquet elicited quite a lively session of discussion. Both the “Wets" and he “Dry" had their inning and argued the much-mooted question. It. was decided that the question would be solved at a latter time and resulted in the appointment of the following committee to ascertain the probable cost, etc.: Morgan Keaton, chairman; Giles M. Penick and L. S. Anderson. The classes decided to give the Senior ball as a joint venture in which both would participate. It was decided that the president of the Academic class, R. W. Fowlkes, should lead the figure with Carl S. Davidsompresident of the Engineers, as assistant. An assessment of three dollars was levied. The fol. lowing committees were appointed: Arrangement: E. S.
