HENRY BLAIR GRAYBILL
M. A.

Mr. Graybill received his A. B. at
Washington and Lee University in
1902, and his M. A. later from Col-

umbia by non-resident worlr
he was here he was a most influential
student and still has hosts of friends
among the townspeople of Lexington
and the present faculty. For one
year after graduation Graybill taught
at Fishburne Military Academy then
he set his face toward the Far East
and has ever since that summer of
1903 been officially connected with
Canton Christian College. More than
this he has had a part in the develop-
ment of C. C. C. as an educational
factor in China that his alma mater
can well be very proud of. In 1907
with others, he conceived the idea of
a preparatory department or middle
school and became its principal. This
has been a very large factor in the
college departments great success be-
cause it gave the Chinese boy with a
very unbalanced training in funda-
mentals a chance first of all to bal-
ance up that training and start his
college work proper with full power.
This middle school has grown in num-
bers far beyond the college proper and
stands as probably the best prepara-
tory school in China. In addition to

Special Extra by Campaign Committee of
Canton Christian College Fund

SPECIAL TO ALUMNI

It is hoped that this special extra
of your alma mater’s publication will
be thoroughly read by every alumnus
This is a
student body campaign for funds and

you will not be solicited for gifts be-
cause we feel that we are probably
doing your share elsewhere, but we do
solicit your interest in this matter.-
Many of you will have known one of
these two alumni connected with Can-
ton Christian College, and will be
glad to know further of their life in-
vestment. To be sure the student
body would not hurt you by refusing
your subscription but primarily and
fundamentally it is your interest we
are after because we feel that each
one of you is interested in this as well
as other phases of Washington and
Lee life.

Another thing. You are being urged
to come back for the 1919 ‘finals. This
year, with the help of the 1' :tional or-l,
ganization the school has been ablel
to have a full—time Y. M. C. A. secre-,
tary and since his discharge from the‘;
army in December, Ted Shultz, 1916,}
has been here in that capacity. Thatl
organization, the W. & L. Y. M. C. A.,
whether you were connected actively
with it or not while a student, wants
to add its invitation to the others you
will receive to come back for finals
and renew college days. It will try
to do some of the things to make your
return pleasant. Maybe the secretary
can be induced to have one of those
personally conducted Ford sight-see-
ing tours with Dan Owen as barker
that were the rage in 1916. Anyway,
everybody here wants you to come
back and will try to see that you sim-
ply can not regret it.

AN HERITAGE

By an Alumnus

To a true Washington and Lee man,
it would be almost a sacrilege to com-
pare anyone with the names of George
Washington and Robert E. Lee. To
walk into the Chapel of the University

and stand with uncovered head almost
stilled heart, looking at the wonder-
ful statue of that noble figure of our
immortal “Marse Robert" as he lay at
rest, and to think of anyone except
him, would hardly occur to any right-
minded individual who could even
partially appreciate the sterling qual-
ities and character of the famous ex-
president of our beloved institution.
Yet, one who fully appreciates both
the founder of W. & L. and the later
individual who blessed it with his
presence and name, dares to suggest
that there is an individual whlose
name can at least be thought of in the
same connection. Perhaps that in-
dividual absorbed some of the spirit

won his commission as an officer in

MAN in all that the term signifies——
Clovis Moomaw was respected and
loved by all who knew him. A gradu-
ate of the Law School in 1911, he was
Captain of the Football Team, Vice-
president of the General Athletic As-
sociation, and President of his class
the same year. His influence was
such that he was urged to come back
the following year to help to coach
ootball. He came. When the thought
of his leaving again came up, he was
offered a place in the Law Faculty.
He accepted. Washington and Lee
could only take one substitute for the
presence of Clovis Moomaw; that is
the memory of his life, and his death.
Let the world sympathize with Wash-
ington and Lee in the loss of such a
son of the Institute, and at the same
time let the world congratulate her
on the heritage of such a life and
such a death.

of one whose subscription was re-
funded) the $982.50 was given to ap-
ply on the budget of Mr. B. H. Mc-
Clain as a Y. M. C. A. Secretary to
India. It is true that this was only
part of only one man’s budget but
Washington and Lee can feel just
pride in having provided a needed
worker at a needed time who would
not have been provided if she had not
been generous to do it. All honor
to those who made it possible with their
gifts and to the man who gave us the
big idea, no more fitting memorial
to him could be provided than the re-
sults of that fund which shall continue
to live.

The largel‘ 3 thing is the Snl3«11e1‘l students of the United States for the

part an Individual is able to con-
tribute toward the whole but, also,
the more necessary it is for it to suc-
ceed. On April ~1, 1918, there were
341 Y. M. C. A. secretaries in civilian
and army work in India, giving their
every thought and minute to a life
of service to the natives of that den-
sely populated non—Christian country.
One hundred and fifty-two of this num-
ber were natives. One of the remain-
ing 189 represented the Christian stu-
dents and alumni of Washington and
Lee in his untiring service at the front,
for he was one of those chosen to go
with the fighting forces of India into
Mesopotamia and minister to their
needs both on land and on hospital
boats. Several years ago the idea was
conceived that this student body should
share in sympathy and goods the bur-
den and pleasure of helping students
in other lands and this was considered
most feasible as a missionary project.
The inspiration of that idea came from
the heart of Clovis Moomaw, ’11, who
is elsewhere in this issue beautifully
and fittingly eulcgized by a contem-
porary on this campus. The plan pro-
posed was to support an alumnus of
this institution as its representative
on the foreign field. The alumnus
was found and the money subscribed
for his support. The plans of sail-
ing were postponed once and, with the
entrance of America into the war, it
seemed that they might be permanent-

3. Other Colleges and Universities
all over the country are contributing
toward this fund (list to March 1st
available for reference) and it is be-
lieved that Washington and Lee should
not be lacking and behind her rival
institutions but should be given a
chance to show her colors as a Chris-
tian school in a Christian land.

4. The Y. M. C. A. stands ready
to carry on a campaign to this end if
the Executive commitee approves it
as a worthy one. The cabinet has
selected its object which it believes to
be an appealing one to College men
and is anxious to present it to Student
body as soon as possible. Plans will
be completed just as soon as definite
word is received from Executive Com-
mittee that the campaign is acceptable

nary discussions having been held to

Washington and Lee will open the‘,
baseball season Friday afternoon atg
3:30 p. m. when the cadet nine fromI
Fishburne Military Academy come to
Lexington for the opening game and
also the first game on Wilson Field
for now a period of about two years.
This game will be in the nature of a
practice game and Coach Raftery will
be given an opportunity to test his
material. Fishburne has one of the‘
best baseball teams in the South and
though it is only a prep it should not
be underrated. This school has put
out some of the best ballplayersknown
to the sport. Dick Smith and Harry
Moran are exponents of Fishburne.

After three weeks of practice, the
men are rounding into good shape and
Coach Raftery is highly pleased with
the outlook. At first things looked
dark withonly threelettermen back on
the campus but the new men have
shown that they have the goods and
Coach Raftery believes that he will
have a winning aggregation. In an
interview with the Coach yesterday,
he stated that it was yet impossible
to give the personnel of the team but
he commented on the men who were
showing up best. Jones has been
shifted from third to second and is
playing like a veteran. At short,
Mickell has the edge on the rest. In
fact this former Greenbriar star seems
to be in a class by himself and barring
accidents, he should have a good sea-
son. Not only is Mickell good at
short, but he has the reputation of be-
ing a hard hitter and those who have
been out to watch practice admit that

he swings a hefty stick. Yancey and
PorterSutton are running a close race
for third. Both men have good arms
and are very fast. All the’ candidates.
for first are showing up exceptionallyI
well. Moore seems to handle himself
like an experienced ball player. Watts
and Fox are also doing good work.

In the outfield, Gregg, Mat Hender-
son, Raines, Wooford and Credle
have the call over the rest of the can-
didates. Gregg is one of the few old
men out for the team and while he
was a week late in getting out for
practice, he does not seem to have
been handicapped for his work both
in the field and at the bat has been of
high order.

Coach Raftery is highly elated with

his pitching stafi. All of the men
with one or two exceptions have had
previous experience in high school or
in college. Graham is the only letter
man on the staff and he needs no in-
troduction. Corbett is showing up ex-
ceptionally well and is in pretty good
shape already. He seems to have the
edge on the new men as far as prac-
tice shows. He has goo dcontrol and
handles himself well. Sloan also has
the qualities of a good slabsman.
Brown and Buskirk, left-handers are
working hard for a permanent berth
on the staff. Big Ed Bailey has a
world of speed and if he can get con-
trol of his ball he should make a val-
uable man.

Drye will probably take care of the
receiving end, assisted by Henry
Thornburg and Wadsworth.

The schedule is not quite complete.

FACTS ABOUT CANTON
CHRISTIAN COLLEGE

As a result of effort and thought
for twenty years, there was in 1904,
‘on its present site two and a half
miles from the city of Canton, South
China, Canton Christian College. It
started with low wooden buildings,six

American teachers, several Chinese
instructors, and thirty-seven students.
The first improved classroom building
was built in 1905, by aifund provided
by American donors and the second
in 1909 by Chinese friends. Its
growth has been contiuous and mar-
velous, depending only on the men
and money that could be secured in.
its behalf. The possibilities of such;
a school seemed unlimited and thel
pressure of a great demand for moref
accommodations and equipment is con-I
stantly felt. The growth from the
start mentioned above in the past 15.
years has materialized into more than
a score of buildings of permanent type
including residences and dormitories
 well as class halls, and many struc-
tures of less permanence. There are
now twenty—five foreign (American
and English) teachers, about fifty
Chinese teachers and instructors, sev-
eral of whom have returned from Am-
erican Universities. The total enroll-
ment in all departments is about six
hnudred students annually. To an-
swer the constant demand for expan-
sion which the crying needs of China
is making this modern mission college
needs more men, more equipment, and
more land. These demand inure
money. It is doing well what it is
doing but can do a great deal more
when provided with the means. Here
is Washington and Lee’s chance to in-
vest where a good dividend is certain
because experience has proved it to be
so. Other colleges and organizations
are backing this proposition but Wash-
ington and Lee’s gift will enable C.
C. C. to do something otherwise im-
possible. No place offers such strides
in development of world Democracy
and we believe in that because we are
citizens of the United States. Busi-
ness sense says to invest where the
largest return can be combined with
safety. Canton Christian College of-
fers that investment for all that we
are unselfish enough to share with
students of other lands. Students of-
fer the best investment in China be-
cause that is the only country on the
globe Where scholarship makes a man
a heroic leader. This cose is sub-
mitted and it is believed that W. & L.
will do nothing less than her part.

PUBLIC CONCERT

On April 22nd there will be a
splendid high class Concert Co. to give
an entertainment in Lexington. All
the members of this company are
survivors of the Lusitania disaster and
have been accorded a warm greeting
wherever they have given their enter-
tainment. Watch for later posters,
bills and information in this paper.
It will be worth your attention. The
entertainment will probably be given
in the W. and L. Library.

OUR OPPORTUNITY

Educational Campaign Gives
Student Body a Chance to Aid
Less Fortunate Students in
China Obtain Higher Ideals.

The World Fellowship Fund offers

Washington and Lee an opportunity
to show her true position as to her
faith in the advancement of educa-
tion and her desire to be of aid to other
lands. This can be measured not by
the size of the gift but by the willing-
ness which it is given. It is true that
there are countless demands upon the
student body for various activities
and yet there is no one who cannot
respond in some measure to the last
call and surely we have had no more
worthy cause. One dollar a student
gives us $350.00, three dollars a stu-
dent puts us across the line. There
can be little doubt that there are few
of us who cannot give this amount of
money. -

There will be no attempt to force
this issue upon the student members.
This is a student fund for other stu—,
dents, it is foreducational purposcsI
and it is for each student to deter-I
mine squarely for himself whether or‘,
not he is interested in this enterprise.I
If he is confident he is in a position toi
do so, it is for him to make such a de-'
cision.

However our own free nation has
been purchased by the sacrifice of
milions of lives through the centuries.
All the opportunities We enjoy have
been given us by the works of others.
Fvcr at this moment our nation is
free and secured only because of the
sacrifice of our fellowmen. So there
is on us a responsibility, from which
We cannot escape, not only to pre-
serve and uphold our own institutions
but to give aid to the other nations of
the brotherhood.

Our country is now the dominant
nation of the world, all look to her
for aid and guidance. China yearns
for education. Let us do all we can to
assist this promising republic to work:

out her destiny that she too may take
her place with other nations. Let. us
help those less favored brothers in
the foreign lands by teaching them
how to aid themselves.

U CHINA ,

For seven years China has been an
experiment in democracy. The out-
come is of vital importance to the
whole world. One—fifth of the entire
population of the world, living in a
land of great resources is endeavoring
to work out its salvation. Shall she
be victorious’ or shall she be stripped
of her independence and be restored
to a military despotism?

The mass of her people are ignorant.
The greater majority of her leaders
are corrupt. Her only hope is in an
enlightened intellectual people. And
And yet her past proclaims her to be
latent in intellectual possibilities..Her
people are poorly paid and her fac-
tories are crowded. There is sickness
and starvation.

The best way to aid China is to edu-
cate her population—to purify the

better way to create free government:
than to educate people to the know-
ledge of duties and responsibilities.

It‘is a tremendous undertaking. It
will take time to do this work. Though

We can do to carry on the work of
giving to our fcllowmen the joys of
life which we cannot fully appreciate.

WASH1NGTON AND LEE T0
AID IN OVERSEAS WORK i

(Continued from Page 1) I

of work -with a:

constructive piece
World horizon. Feeling that Wash-

ington and Lee men everywhere en-

tered military service because of the’
biggest principles of the war that our l
President has given us it was felt

that the incentive behind their pat-

riotism was unselfish service and had‘
not ended with the signing of the ar—l
mistice; the Christian Association‘
cabinet, after considerable discussion,

agreed to undertake the handling of

such a campaign as a student body’
venture. How the campaign became}
a student body venture and the goall
and beneficiary selected is elsewherel
told.

Now Washington and Lee let’s make
it go, and go big. The money raised
will not be sent off to strange workers
never to be heard of again. Two
Washington and Lee men are on the
active faculty of Canton
College. One of them will be on the
campus next Monday and we can
know him personally. The other
graduated only in 1902 and_ is well
known by several resident alumni and
many of our present faculty. What
closer tie could bind us to this over-
seas college? Also China is fairly,
speckled with Washington and _Lee
men, with nineteen alumni. working
within its borders. These men are .in-
vesting their lives in this big oppor-
tunity, can we in the shadows of the
same pillars that these men loved, do
less. than invest a few dollars even at
the sacrifice of something we enjoy?
China is stretching her arms and be-
ginning to feel her possible strength.
She is crying for native leadership.
Every C. C. C. graduate becomes a
leader back in his province. Our dol-
(ans: mean more leaders for China
than she can possibly have without
those dollars. This is not “stuff” in
China for it takes ability to get an
education and the two never fail to
produce a-leader. It might be added
here that C. C. C. has far more appli-
cations for entrance than it can pos-
sibly accept. China has never made
a-Pacific problem for us because the
Chinese become valuable citizens of
this country. We want to help put
China in a position of making valuable
citizens for herself. The city of Can-
tlon is the strategic point of the en-
ormous area of South_ China and
many authorities say of all China, C.
G. C. is situated two and one—half miles
from this city on the beautiful navi-
gable Canton River. There:Chinese
students are taught all the scientific
subjects in our own curriculum,_and
many technical subjects. A prepara-
tory grade is conducted in_ the same
school as are also the grammar grades
and even the kindergarden, tlfiaugh
these last have to have their atten-
dance curtailed because the children
would flock to them if all allowed.

lA FEW FACTS ABOUT THE

WORLD FELLOWSHIP
FUND

The World Fellowship Fund is an‘

undertaking of the Students of the
United States to aid the students of
the world. It is a mere part of a great
movement in the interest of Chris-
tian World Democracy.

Its purpose is to spiritualize our
new world consciousness to create new
fellowship and to aid in forming a
new foundation for enduring peace in
an enlightened world. The enterprise
is essentially a college enterprise.The
“Y” holds itself out as the agent to
initiate this financial cfiort or to stand
back of the college committee specially
appointed for the purpose. The choice
of the object for support rests with
the local institutions. Private insti-
tutions and non—denominational in-
stitutions, such as Washington and
Lee are urged to support union insti-
tutions in the Mission Field. This we
have undertaken to do.

West Virginia Wesleyn, with a stu-
dent body of 400 has set its goal at
$1,000.

Gettysburg is going to raise $600.

Penn State has decided to increase
its foreign work fund from $2,000 to
$3,000.

Davidson is going to raise $400.

Syracuse is planning to support the
Hursby Fund and raise $500 besides.

Penn increases its fund from $12,-
400 to $15,000.

W. & L. WHERE ARE YOU?

Scientific farming is taught there and
this is fundamntal in the problem of
feeding China. Manual trades are
taught which will help provide China
with a skilled labor class and bridge
the present chasm between the day
laborer and the scholar. Also nearly
90 per cent of C. C. C’s. graduates
have left her college walls Chris-
tians. With China’s leaders Chris-
tians, the inevitable result will be a
Christian nation with ideals and
chances in the world equal to our own.
China's doors are more wide open to-
day than ever before and wise giving
can accomplish greater results than
ever before. Leaders will be able to
accomplish more than ever before and
Washington and Lee has the oppor-
tunity of doing more than ever before.
With her record of splendid contribu-
tions aimed at stopping destruction,
it is not to be denied that she should
have her same share in the more pro-
fitable program of construction. This
student body has the chance to help
make China the power she is bound
to become. With its help she will at-
tain the goal quicker and with the
right ideals. Without it well, C. C. C.
and China are that much worse off
and Washington and Lee wil not have
measured up to World Citizenship.
