made the supreme sacrifice that righ-
teousness and freedom might not pass
from the earth-—I went in to my boss
and told him that I too must be pres-
ent to add what little I could do to
the immortal glory and homage which
is so justly their due.”

The body 01" the principal speaker’s
speech consisted of a short history of
America’s participation in the Great
War. “ Two years and six months
-ago, America was a nation at peace.
The American dollar was supplanting
the English pound as the medium of
exchange. The fighting nations of
Europe were all courting America’s
hand, seeking her financial and politi_
cal support. Former European Kings
of Finance came with bowed heads
and suppliant petition into the pres-
ence of the monetary Lords of Fi-
nance in Wall Street.”

But at this time the right of neu-
tial nations upon the high seas was
foremost in the mind of the non—f'ight—
ing world and in defense of this right,
i’.e.-nideiit Wilsfi in January 1917
lernanded of Germany that this right
he recognized. But in answer the im-
ierial government not only refused
to obey such a demand but he extend-
ed h‘Is operation to the destruction
of the helpless and innocent. Thei‘
"time the presidents ultimatum bu?

England ordered a cab. It arrived

President Smith then presented

pleasing; manner, Stipes spoke on La-
fayette, the ideal of the Fl‘011('l1 Rt‘-
public, who gave his life in the ser-
vice of mankind. The spirit of this
statesman is immortal, declared the
speaker, and it is present today at
the peace table just as it was present
during the many months of struggle
which have just passed into history.
Lafayetteis life was a life of service

best expresses the thought and sub-
stance of the speaker’s address. The
positive prerequisite to wiszloni, be-
gaii Dr. Ganfield, is honesty. An in-
vestigating spirit is abroad in the

has been solved and the answer ac-
cepted by the world. These were
questions of yesterday and have been
solved by the leaders of that age.
The notion that man can live to
himself in a selfish and independent
way has long been discarded. Man
has realized lliilt he cannot live for
hiiiiself alone. The time has come
when we mui walk hand in hand

COMMENCEMENT

Though we have not had the oppor-
tunity of witnessingmany of thecom—
mencement exercises of Washlington
and Lee, from reputation and limited
knowledge we are competent to speak
on this occasion_ While we are pre-
pared to speak in terms of praise and
gratification, we are also compelled
to speak in superlatives. For the Fi-
nal events of 1919 of Washington and
Lee have been the best in the history
of the institution. Never before have
the Alumni flocked to Lexington in
such great numbers to celebrate the
part of their Alma Mater in the world
conflict; to honor those sons who died
in the cause; to demonstrate to Wash-
ington and Lee that her exponents
are loyal to her and are willing to ac-
tively assist in the reconstructive pe-
riod; to renew acquaintances and per-
petuate the ties of college friendship;
and, lastly, to dance once more to the
melodious effusions of Old Man
Wright's Saxophone orchestra. Vis-
itors from North and South, always
gladly welcomed, added to the success
of the occasion—and those charming
and bewitching young ladies, aptly
known as Doremus Darlings, without
whom we would go mad, contributed
their share to the favorable termina-
tion of the college year. Though not
as many degrees were conferred, yet
in proportion to the attendance, and
considering the adverse circumstan-
ces under which the college year be-
gan, the year was a success even in
this respect.

The results of this happy reunion
of so many alumni will make them-
selves conspicuous within the next
five years. These men had an oppor-
tunity to see for themselves the sta-
tus of their Alma Mater as it is today
and compare it with the period when
they were students—they have been
informed of the campaign to increase
the endowment of Washington and
Lee in order that her facilities may
be enlarged, thus placing her on a
level with the foremost institutions
of the country. That they will re-
spond to the extent of their abilities
is not doubted.

It is useless to comment on the sen_
timent of those who were in attend-
ance for Commencement because they
will remember this week as one of the
most pleasant and well-spent in their
lives; they leave with the thought
that they want to be back next year,
back to Washington and Lee and its
historic campus. Those who we1'e
not able to honor us with their pres-
ence have missed something real, for
the Finals of 1919 will go down on
record with a high mark attached to

OUR T—ASK COMPLETED

Ai‘1(l now the Ring-tum Phi of the
."."3SlO1l of 1918-19 assumes its place
Lti';101'l,",‘ the silent archives of history
along with its predecessors for this
l‘;‘1LlO concludes its publication for the
A9111‘. Whether it is worthy of a
chair along with the previous volumes
of this college publication is a ques-
tion which we leave for an answer
to the student body, faculty and alum_
iii who have responded so generous-
ly to the call for subscriptions.
Should we have failed to reach the
height of the task to which we ad-
'li:.>ssc(l ourselves, we can only beg
far the indulgence of a kind but crit-
ical patronage. If the decision be
adverse to us, we can seek consola-

best efforts in the attempt to publish

a paper that would reflect credit on
Washington and Lee as well as on
the ability of the individuals who
were responsible for its compilation.

On reflection we find that we are
now very much experienced along a
line of activity which cannot be de-
veloped in the class room here in col-
lege but which requires hard and con_
sistent work. On many a Tuesday
morning we have been confronted
with the somewhat provoking thought
that a few columns were still needed
to complete the paper and we were
compelled to write from imagination
or else flash the S. O. S. signal in
the direction of E_ D. C. who would
resspond with one of his pet edito-
rials such as “In the Spring.” But
for the most part we have been for-
tunate because the news matter has
been plentiful and all we had to do
was to go after it. And this was one
of our main purposes, to report and
record every thing that happened on
the campus in a fair and impartial
manner.

Whatever criticism might be di-
rected to the paper from a journal-
istic standpoint, it has been a com-
plete success in one particular*and
that is along financial lines. Due
credit must be given to the manager,
Cecil Burns, whose mode of extrac-
tion from the subscribers and adver-
tisers has been painless and highly
successful. It has been a pleasure
to work with him and we gladly give
unto him what is rightly due him.
The student body is likewise indetbed
to the manager for we are informed
that after the editor and nianager
receiVp their remuneration quite a
handsome sum in the ncighgorhood
of two hun(lred dollars will be left
to the student body sinking fund.
This may be surprising but it is a
fact nevertheless and we are sure
that it will be gladly welcomed.

Though the editor is primarily re-
sponsible for the publication of the
paper it would be an unaccomplisha—
ble task if he had to write all the
ifews, read all proofs, make assig_>'n—
ments, etc. So, then, the staff must
receive its share of credit because it
has worked faithfully receiving no-
thing but experience together with a
certificate from the student body ac-
knowledging such work. To these
men the editor expresses his sincei'<~
appreciation of their efforts and if
the itziper has been a failure, the
caiisc cannot be attributed to them.
We are sorry that they get no tan-
gible reward for their labors for it
is certainly an honor to be on the
staff of the Ring—tum Phi and we be-
lieve l2l121.lLr11101'(! than 21 (‘Oi'l.lf‘i(‘2Lt(,* of
faithful work should be awarded
them. The men render a real ser-
vice to the student body and ti1(i‘.1;_1‘ll
it is not along athletic lines it is just
as important and should be
nized accordingly.

To our successors we extend the
very best of wishes for a bright ad-
ministr'.-itiion and with the beginning
of a greater Washington and Lee we
have every reason to believe that the
Ring—tum Phi will grow and develop
wiht the University. in the next
year or two with the campus filled
to capacity and the enlargement of
our athletic program, as well as all

ll\Yi SERMON

Rev. Cosby. Bell of Theological
Semiiizry of Virginia is
Speaker

The baccal:-.i'i‘cate sermon on Sun-
day, June thc twenty-second, was de-
livered by Rev, W. Cosby Bell, D. D.,
of the Theological Seminary of Vir-
ginia at Al('?{:ill<ll‘l21, Va. In the
course of !<(}1"lll()ll he discussed
liberty as it is and as it should be,
saying that the only rule to follow is
the truth. llc took his text from the
eighth chaptcy of the Gospel of John
and the thirty-second verse: “Ye shall
know the ll'l1l7ll and the truth shall
make you free.”

The Sp(“¢1l\(3l‘ said that there were
several words that have a meaning
that is pcrpetually reborn. Liberty
and religion he said to be such words.
Continuing he said that these words
possess greet principles that guide
mankind and that each age reveals
thcm anew. ll:- showed how with the
change of uh.) times the old things
that were iiicc right are no longer
riglit but in in light of what is
known with 1h advance of the age
become \vi'<T.'i;g‘I""’Fliose words were
shown to in used in history with all
their ineaiiinp: and then to come forth
again when times are in a state of
fcrinent wiih all the power and vigor
of their inmiiiiig, but this time with
a slight clizuige over the old.

Dr. Bell told of how the word lib-
erty is today one of the words that
has been u~<cd most widely and that
behind it :is a motto almost every
thing has ‘nocii done. He told of how
the very rise, of the word today has
the power of arousing in people all
their deepest fceliiigs and how the
men across the waters have been
fightiiig with that word burning in
their cars for the last four years. He
showed further, however, how the
word had conic hack to us from an un-
expected source and with an unex-
pected lll(‘21?Illl}_’_‘ that is ominous rath-
er than plc:2sin_c-, The word as it has
come back from the <'0nflicts of Rus-

the speaker said that the liberty must

been working on the theory that if
they can tear down all that now ex-

we hope tolists then they will attain true liber-

ty and at the same time it was point-
ed out that the end of destruction is
not liberty but death.

In speaking of the proper kind of
liberty the speaker said, “What is
most needed is better social habits
aimed at justice. The only lasting
victories are won in men’s minds. On-
ly the truth can set men free.” He
then went on to show how the road
to liberty is no easy one and that real
liberty comes not in spite of the ex-
isting institutions that are good but
because of them, and that men get
liberty by obeying the natural law,
not by trying to go counter to it. He
showed how the conquest of the air
was won only by obeying the laws
that rule in that sphere and said that
the same thing must apply when it
comes to the sphere of seeking liber-
ty. Then it was shown how the laws

in the mouth of Christ as he is re-
ported in the Gospels. Not only the
laws of the word liberty but those of
all the words that have £1 perpetual
meaning can be found in the teach-
ings of Christ. The speaker said,
“Men are free not outside the law
but only by the law. Only the truth
can make you free ___________ __Liberty is
not the power to do what you choose
but the power to choose to do what is
right.” He said that there are sev-
eral kinds of liberty and among; them
is that without knowledge, which is
exemplified by the savage and that
of the thug that is without charac-
tel‘. Then he said’ that wisdom, char-
acter and liberty must grow and grow
together. “The last liberty to which
man can aspire is the liberty of sei'v—
ing freely—God."

Dr. Bell then addressed himself to
the graduating class in particular and
told them that it is their task to see
that the principles here laid down
are carried out in practice. He said
that it was their task to establish
the reign of liberty in brotherhood. In
closing he said, “As long as there is
a spirit that breeds disregard for the
things that are true, then liberty is
not attained.”

is

,cient to start the training.

The winter term of the been on the campus for the last six weeks

inquiring in the situation and the senti-
ment of the student body and faculty.
For the first time in the history of the
institution, Washington Lee will have
a training unit in time of peace which
will be a part of the curri.-ulum of the
university_ It is simply following the
steps of the progressive institutions of
the country and whether it will meet
with success or die adishonovahle (lvath
is a question which must be Iakeii care
of.

At the first ballot taken on the ques-
tion of military training lll the early
part of the term,over one hundred men
stated that the. were interested
military trai' ing. T. is was very en-
c uraging to Major Tuttle. lloweve.
on the vote a few days agr , only thirty
four men enrolled for the tiaining. But
even this number is believed to be suffi-
Many men
who did not enroll will probably do so
in Sepiember and it is expected that
about half of the incoming Fresiiman
class will elect rrilitary training for
physical training. One hundred men
must be secured before the government
will maintain the unit and if this num
ber sh. uld fail to enrollthe R. O. T. C.
privilege will be taken away from the

in

University.

A few facts in regard to the training
might. not be amiss. The work will
consist of four hours a week the time
being devoted about equally to the
theoreiical and practical sides of mili-
tarv tactic:-. During.” the first ‘W0
years, the cadet receives his clothes
free of charge. Then after he has
taken two years of the training, it he
elects to continue for a period of an-
other two years, he receives from the
government a scholarship of about $125
to $150. In this way men who are par-
tially dependent on their own iesources
for their college expenses have an op-
portunity to aid themselves financially
as well as physically. And it is likely
that many will avail themselves of the
opportunity.

Major Tuttle has been detailed to
Camp Lee fur the summer.

ers competing against W. F. Parker
were V. E. Kemp of Alabama, B. A.
Davis of Virginia, and H. F. Madison
of Louisiana. On account of the dance
at nine the audience was small ; but,
notwithstanding this fact the orations
were of the b:Sl..

President Smith presiding, turned
the meeting over to President G. T.
Madison of the combined Societies, who
after tracing briefly the history of the
Societies at Washingloii and Lee, in-
troduccd the first speaker of the eve-
ning, V. E. Kemp.

V. E. Kemp chose as his subject “The
Latest Entry.” He showed that every,
nation has a list of its noted men carv-
ed on the tableis of its memory. Wil-
son is th.: logical man to be aflixed to
our llst. Wilson, the man of letters
has grown from a pr or iawyer snd au-
thor to be the Man of Today. “Let us
welcome with Washington and Lee our
Latest Entry.”

B. A. Davis took for his subjec “Our
Flag.” It has been so gloriously up-
held in the past that it has become the
emblem 01 the American soul. The
traditions of our country have been
sustained in the present war by our
soldiers aid Wilson, as our flag is the
only stainless one at the Peace Confer-
ence. “Our future is great, God leads.
We follow the flag.”

The third speaker, H. F. Madison,
took for his subject “The Making of
the Federal Constitution.” He traced
very interestingly the formation of our
Constitution, showing clearly the oppo-
sition EXprI‘lCl’l(‘.8Ll at the table and the
problems faced by our forefathers. He
pointed out that in the end they devel-
oped a masterpiece which has held to-
gether agreat nation destined to be
greater.

The last orator of the evening was
W. F. Parker who spoke on the “Fal-
lacies of Patriotism.” The war, he
said, had changed us from a selfish to
an united peeple, who are willing to die
for another’s cause. Our patriotism
should be expressed at all times as we
have shown it in the past two years
The turn; Io show patriotism is now at
hand and we should spend this energy
in leadership of vhe world ll: all lines of
endeavor.

After the rendering of the judges’
deoision the meeting was adjourned.
All the orations were excellent both in
thought and expression, and the young
orators deserve the highest commenda-

tion. Many would have us think that
the literary side of academic life at W.
and L. is on the decline, but the re-
verse was here proved to be the case.

Playing a class of ball rarely Seen
on college campuses, the baseball
team of 1919 of Washington and Lee
has e:-‘.tablished a record wnicli will
be envied by the future 1'(-])l‘(*.SC‘Ilt21-
tives on the diamond. A list of eleven
victories over the strongeul tczlm-S
North and South of the llil:lS0ll and
Dixon line is the record v.hich con-
fronts aspiraiits for this honor in the
future.

Starting like a flash with a victo-
ry over Lincoln Memorial, the team
continued its winning sti*ei=.k, impro-
ving in hitting and fielding in each
contest. After Penn State .'l.ll(l North
Carolina had been Véll‘i([L1lSl'l\'Il and the
team had reached the ll(.‘l\'.’.llt of its
glory it returned home and after a
spat with Maryland State, it conclud-
ed the season in grand style, hittinéf
the ball all ovei' VVilson field and
trouncing their opp »llClli.S unmercI'-
fully. At the rate the team was hit-
ting and fielding toward the Mid Of
the season, it seems as though Raf-
tery was training his men 1or a game
with the big league teams. A game
was in communication with the Navy
but it failed to materialize and due
to the closeness of the examinations
the team disbanded after the game
with Concord State. The season was
a financial success in the sense that
there was no deficit to face at the end
of the year.

Of the inonoggram men, three will
be lost by graduation, namely, Gregg,
Graham and Sutton. The loss of
these three will be felt next year, es-
pecially that of Graham who has done
pitching of a phenomenal character
this year. Gregg will also be hard
to replace in the outfield for he is a
sure fielder and when in the humor a
hard hitter. He is a demon on the
paths which ‘is shown by the fact that
he led the team in stolen bases for
the year. Sutton has proved his
worth.

But with the return of the rest of
the monogram men, Coach Raftery
should be relieved of much of his wor-
ry. A glance at the men who are al-
most sure to return might be inter-
esting.

To start off with there is Shrimp
Jones, captain of the team for next
year. What he lacks in hitting, he
sure does make up in pep and is cer-
tainly well fitted for the position with
which he has been honored. When it
comes to handling the hot ones at
second, Shrimp is right there.

To mention the name of Jimmie
Mattox is enough for his work be-
hlind the bat and with the stick has
been compared with that of Ains-
wor a c .e., ‘ "
Detroit Americans by one of the
sporting editors of a ivcll known pa-
per. Mattox’s lightniig peg throws
fear into would-be swipers and few

before that their days at Washing-
ton and Lee ai'e numbered. A ban-
quet was held at the Dutch Inn and

there except four members_ The pre-
sident, George P. Wilson, assumed
the task of toastmaster and showed
that he has had considerable experi-
ence in directing such affairs. The
most iinpoi'tant business transacted
was the adoption of the resolutions
presenteil by Messrs. Grahain
Gilliam.

It was an unusual sight to see so
many grave and dignified seniors on
the porch of the Dutch Inn about
seven o’clock and those passing must
have been impressed by the air of im-
portance and self possession that was
there displayed. On entering the di-
ning room, however, where they were
away from the gaze of the common
herd, the class of 1919 let itself know
that it has not really grown too old
to have a good time. Those who had
been eating at the Beanery all the
.V0d1‘ Were for a while at 2: losstoknow
what to do with all the utensils put
there for their use, but it is needless
to say that the dinner did not go ne-
glected because of this ignorance.
When the serious part of the evening
‘ame the class unanimously elected
Tom Gilliam to the presidency of the
perinaiiciit organi7.ation with Mercer
Graham as secretary and treasurer.
These two together with George Wil-
son were choscii an executive
boaril to see to the managing of such
things as have to be managed.

The substance of the resolutions
adopted was that the class should es-
tablish a scholarship for the purpose
Of helping some deserving man, pre-
ferably an athlete, through a year of
college beginning with the year 1919-
1920. The executive board is to see
to the selecting of the deserving man,
and the annual dues of the class will
be enough to make up the proper
amount.

Before the mcctingadjourned
eral of the members “made a few re-
marks” and then L. T. Brown led in
a long yell for the class of 1919.

John I)rye, who leads the team in
fielding, will also be back to guard

speed. With a clean record this year,
he can hardly do any better next

and are learning to use the stick to

COACH
William C. Raftery

Of those returning to college soon
after their discharge from the military
camps of the country. five monogram
men, members of the basketball squad
of last year, were found in the persons
of Jimmie Fain, Mercer Graham, How-
ard McCain, Buck Bryant, and Bill
Johnston, all of whom had been com-
missioned. And with the return of Bill
Raftery, practice began immediately,

for with these men back Washington_ _
1 Scarce heard amid the guns bencath.,

and Lee could have but afirst class
team only. And, indeed. the basket-
ball team of 1919 was one which com-
manded the iraise and respect of every
student and follower of the sport, for
it closed the season with ten victories
and three defeats. It is remarkable to
note that the team had a clean slate
until Graham’s injury in the V. P. 1.
game and that after he left the squad,
three defeats were registered against
Washington and Lee. Had it not been
for this misfortune, Raftery’s quintet
woold today have the S. A. Champion-
ship to its credit.

Inaugurating the season Wllh a game
with Randolph-macon on January 14,
the White and Blue machine scored 50
points against their opponents, while
the Macona were able L0 gather but
six points. Victories over _Bri :ge-
water College, Virginia Clll‘lS.'.laY]
College, and St. Johns followed, the
team improving in each game.

On February 1, Roanoke College,who
had as yet been undefeated, stepped
over to the Doremus Gymnasium for a
game. In their practice just before
the game, these men seemeJ to be
able to shoot the sphere from any an-
gle of the floor. However, the team
work and passing of the generals com-
pletely astonished the visitors and they
succumbed by the score of 39 to 18.
The game was fast and perhaps the
best of the year.

On the 5th of February, the fans
were presented with a comedy of er-
rors when Elon College failed to score
at all. Never in the history of basket-
ball at W. and L. had this feat been
performed before.

The game with V. P. I. in Lynch-
burg was lost to the Techs but only
after Graham was forced to retire af-
ter the first few miuutes of play. This
disorganized the team and the loss of
the tall center was keenly felt.

Following this, Davidson was scalped
but University of North Carolina out-
nosed W. and L. by the score of 27 to
:31. The game was anybody’s until the
linal whistle.

Wake Forest and Trinity were dis-
posed with in easy fashion and from
the playing demonstrated in these
games, there were indications that V.
P. I. would be made to pay for tho vic-
tory of a few weeks passed.

Thus ended the season. Two men
have been donned the White and Blue
uniform for the last time after three
and four years of service respectively.
Mercer Graham will no more be seen in
action in the gym and his graduation
today marks the passing away from
the campus of an athlete second to
none and whose name is worthy ofa
place with those of Barrett, Young,
Moran, Raftery, Shultz, Donahue and
a host of others. Captain Fain also
brings his cillege to a successful close
tonight when he leads the Final Ball.

However, with Bryant, Mc ain.
Hines, Harris, Johnston and numerous
others, Coach Raftery has every rea-
son to believe that he will have another
aggregation of basket cagers next year
which will make the sporting world
cast its eyes on the campus of Washing-
ton and Lee.

treated with contempt the American
Army and its impertinent schoolmas-
ter

executive. Today his pompous

legions lie shattered by America’s’

free born.—~Right truly spoke the
doughboy of the Army of Occupa-
tion when upon entering Coblenz he
came upon the statue of William the
First, father of the late emperor tow-

ering seventy-two feet in the air.

I then looking up at the statue To mark-
led, ‘Well,,old man, you sure played
‘hell when you raised your boy to be
I a soldier.’ ”
In concluding, Mr. Glasgow
] marked that having surpassed all oth-
'er nations in preparing for war, we
lnow find America excelling in her
‘preparation for peace. “Scarcely
had the roar of the guns died away
lbefore the Naval plane, C4, blazed
the trail of a real ti'ans—Atlantic coni-
mence. We look forward upon the
brightest pages of our nation’s his-
tory.”———“The price is paid by the

1'0-

those who laid down their lives that
‘this nation, under God, might have a
new birth in Freedom.’ We are mct
today to do homage to their memory.
One by one  they paid the accurscd
toll of German arrogant ambition,
we could hear their cold, dumb lips
above the din of battle and the occ-
an’s roar, calling:

‘In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row by row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The lark still bravely singing fly,

We are not dead! Short hours ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw suiisvtn‘
glow;
Loved and were loved, but now we lie
In Flanders Fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe!
To you from fallen hands we throw

aching hearts and empty chairs of‘

The torch:—Be yours to hold it high!
If ye break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, tho poppies grow

In Flanders Ficld.’

Upon the field of battle we took

up that torch and lifted it to the bla-
zing light of victory; and in the sa-
cred chambcrs of verdant memory
their names, their deeds, their honor
will never die.”
Mr. N. D. Smithson then read the
statistics of Washington and Leo's
service men. He first mentioned the
Washington and Lee Ambulance Unit
which has three war crosses to its
credit and which has distinguished
itself on the battlefield in 21 numncr

With the audience standing, Mr. F.

and president of the Alumni Associa-

lumhi Who died in service. In a few
words he cxpresed his sorrow which

and the world’s history brings upon
him.‘ And yet, continued Mr. Kirk-
. potrick, I rejoice in the thought that
these men have not died in vain. but
for the cause of freedom which has
conquered autocracy and illuminated
the light of democracy. After the
name of each alumnus who died in

tration of these principles, Dr. Can-
different profes-
sions and showed that if the repre-
sentatives of these various lines of
industry would Work with the View
of self—aggrandizemcnt alone, there
would be misery and sufl'cring in the
world. But let the farmer work and
supply the manufacturer with raw
material, let the manufacturer supply
the world at a reasonable price, let
the transportation systems distribute
it at fair rates, let the grocer in turn
sell it to the consumer at :1 legitimate
profit, then the dream of an ideal
world will have come true.

In concluding his eloquent address,
Dr. Ganfiold appealed to the gradu-
ates to consecrate themselves to a life
of service and to serve their fellow-
mcn in a spirit of sympathy and un-
selfishncss. Reminding them of the
noble traditions with which they are
possessed, he earnestly requested
them to work in the interest of hu-
manity so that all peoples shall be on
an equal plane.

After prolonged applause in which
D1‘. (izlhfiehl rose and thanked the au-
dience a second time, the intense mo-
ment of the final exercises arrived.
Dean Harry Campbell of the academ-
ic department rose and after making

iiamesuof Phi Beta Kappa initiatcsand
then read the names of the graduates
of the academic school. As each
man’s name was read, he stepped up
to the platform and received his de-
grec from the hands of the president.
Dean Long before reading the names
of the graduates from the law school
remarked to the audience that Wash-
ington and Lee was not a local insti-
tution but that it drew its men from
every state in the country. This fact
was exemplified by the fact that out
of the ten seniors in the law class,
nine states were represented, Louisi-
ana claiming two of the graduates.
Dr. Smith then awarded the honora-
ry degroes. The degree of doctor of
divinity was conferred upon Rev. Wil_
fred Weaver Shaw of Baltimore, Md.
The degree of doctor of law was con-
ferred upon Douglas Southall Froc-
man. Editor of the News-Leader,
Richmond,

(A list of academic and profession-
al degrees will be found elsewhere in
this issue.)

The last speaker on the program
was Charles Holt Taylor of New Jer-
sey who delivered the Valedictory ad-
dress. Thc significance of the word
Victory was dicsus_sed by the speak-
cr. IIe pictured the price that had
been paid for it and as a parting fare-
well, he appealed to his classmates to
carry on the work of those who have
brought peace to man again so that
those who ‘lie in Flanders field might
sleep peacefully. J
