The thirteen speakers sent out by the Omicron Delta Kappa fra- ternity to speak at various pre- and high schools throughout the state and border towns in the interests of Wash- ington and Lee, met with very good success and turned in ap- proximately 250 names of stu- dents who are definitely interested in coming to this school. The purpose of this trip was paratory not so much to increase the en- rollment of the school, as to get a line on the students and turn in a list of names to select from and thereby enable the school to get a better quality of students than would otherwise be avail- able. This is the first time that this plan has been attempted for a number of years, and its success is very gratifying to the insti- gators. The students usually addressed a student body assembly at the schools and then personally in- terviewed those who were inter- ested, discussing with them the problems connected with the en- trance requirements, and also some phases of the student life here. Each speaker remarked on the cordial welcome they received and the good times shown them. The schools also expressed appre- ciation at the interest shown. A letter has been received from one school congratulating the Univer- sity both on the speaker they sent and on the plan of securing new students. J. P. Lowry spoke at Shenan- doah Valley academy, and from there went to Winchester where he was joined by C. C. Hutchin- son, Jr., and P. R. Harrison, who spoke to students of the John Handley Memorial High school, and at Martinsburg, W. Va., High school. At Winchester the speak- ers were introduced by Assistant Principal E. P. Browning, A. B., ’17. G. N. Lowdon and S. F. Hamp- ton spoke at Central, Eastern and Western high schools in Wash- ington, and at the Episcopal High school in Alexandria, where they were introduced by another alum- nus, Fclmore Norfleet, A. B., ‘26. R. D. Powers and C. W. Gor- don spoke at Richmond and Pe- tersburg high schools, and Pow- ers went on to Portsmouth and spoke there.’ Myer Seligman and H. G. Mor- ison spoke at Bristol and Johnson City, Tenn., high schools, and J. M. Holt spoke at Lewisburg, W. Va. W. J. Dorsey visited Randolph- Macon academy, at Bedford, and from there went to Danville where he spoke at Danville Mili- tary institute, and at the High school. Jefferson High in Roanoke was visited by L. F. Powell and J. R Moore. Officers Nhmed To Head Local Chapter Square and Compass V. C. Jones, a senior in the academic school, was yesterday elected president of the Wash- ington and Lee square of Square and Compass, national fraternity for Masons on college campuses.

I. H. Elias, who was recently elected editor of next year’s annual, stated yesterday that he has been in correspond- ence with Marion Junkin who put out the 1927 Calyx and that they are considering all possibil- ities and would probably decide definitely on the theme in a few weeks. There will be no radical chang- es in the Calyx for next year except in art work, if it can be afforded. El-ias stated that he favors more art work and of a different process known as the (Continued on Page Four). Va. Scientists Three W. & L.

Hold” Meeting- b2 Delegates Register For Press "Meeting S.I.P.A. Figures Shows More Signed Than at This Time Last Year NEW FEATURES ON THIS YEAR’S MENU Various Papers and Discus- sions Expected to Round Out Convention Sixty-two delegates from high high and preparatory schools of eight states and the District of Columbia have already registered for the fourth annual Southern Interscholastic Press Association convention to be held here May 10 and 11. These figures exceed the number registered this time last year Florida, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, .Texas, West Virginia, and Vir- ginia are the states represented. Three new fetures will be ad- ded to this year’s program. Pa- pers on individual problems of journalistic instruction will be read by teachers and advisers and will be followed by a group of discussions. An all-student meet- ing to allow discussion among the delegates themselves has been ar- ranged. An all-faculty meeting, for a discussion of the part ad- visers and teachers should take in editing publications, will also be held. Each group will be _,under the direction of the Journalism School Speakers from the school, how- ever, will talk only from a pro- fessionl standpoint, covering such subjects as technique, style, ele- ments of a book review, and ac- curacy in reporting. A large engraving of Robert E. Lee has recently been given by the Virginia Chapter of the Pnited Daughters of the Confed- eracy to the School of Journal- ism. The engraving will be formally presented at the feature banquet, which closes the convention. A bookcase, given by the Virginia Furniture Company, of Waynes- bore, Virginia, will also be pre- sented at that time. This gift will contain fifteen feet of books, which will be known as the “Journalist’s Silent Partners.” Prominent Speakers A free-lance writer of Charles- ton, South Carolina, formerly a foreign correspondent in Europe and South America and Southern editor of the Associated Press. and a Washington correspondent will speak at the feature banquet. They are M. Bishop Alexander, Charleston," South Carolina, and Kenneth G. Crawford, Washing- ton, D. C. Alexander, a graduate of Washington and Lee Univer- sity, covered the recent Nicarag- uan situation for the ‘associated press. Crawford, Washington correspondent for the United Press, was formerly a student of Beloit college under the present head of the Journalism School here. “Problems in Covering Foreign Correspondence” will be the sub- ject of Alexander’s talk. Craw- ford will speak 011 “Problems in Covering Washington.” Rattling to Roanoke in a four year old Chevrolet, and a five year old Essex, seven journal- ism students and Professor W. L. Mapel came into that city Wed- nesday morning to help put out the World-News as part of their laboratory work. After parking their cars about two miles out of the city limits in order to get out'0f the twen- ty minute parking zone the stu- dents walked back to town and to the building that houses the Times-World corporation. Managing Editor Stouffer of the World-News introduced the students to the reporters and sent each student out with one hunting news.

One student found a place in Seven Journalism Students Work On Roanoke World-News As Lab Exercise Roanoke where the heat is 6,300 degrees Fahrenheit. It the in the railroad a half is welding room shops. He wrote umn story on it. Another unearthed a story about an anti-cat campaign Roa- noke paper is going to put on col- to rid the city of stray cats and_ therefore save lives of the birds. The same student also got a dog story. It is understood the World-News offered him a sum- mer job as pet editor. After watching the automatic Associated and United press ma- chines write news the students went up to the composing room to see printers make up the pa- per. Then down in the press rooms the students saw great presses spitting out papers fast- er than one’s eye could see them. The party left Roanake around 3:30 p. m. Soph Swimming Tests Must Be Taken Soon—Cy Coach E. P. Twombly, assist- ant director of physical educa- tion and swimming instructor, has announced that all members of the sophomore hygiene classes who have not taken their com- pulsory swimming tests are ex- pected to report to him soon and complete them before the begin- ning of final examinations. A number of men have taken their tests already either in pe- riods for gymnasium work or at other times and Twombly has an- nounced that he will give tests to other students who have not taken their tests either in periods for gymnasium work or at any other convenoent time. These swimming tests are com- pulsory for graduation at Wash- ington and Lee and it has been customary to take these tests in the second year. According to a ruling of the University, every student is expected to attain some proficiency in swimming before receiving his degree. This ruling became effective upon the wishes of Mrs. Robert Parker Doremus who gave the funds for the build- ing of Doremus Memorial gymna- sium in 1915 in memory of her husband, Robert Parker Doremus. 0 .lolin—Faiilkndr Leads Batters On Local Squad Gene White is Second With Average of .428——Mattox Heads League Johnny Faulkner is leading the liatters of the Blue and White nine with an average of .500 for eight appearances at the plate. Of the General regulars Captain White is leading the hitters with an average of .428. Of the men who have been to bat twenty or more times, “Hank” Slanker is behind Woodworth of North Car- olina State and Radice of Mary- land. Hank has an average of .4-09 for 22 tries. According to the figures releas- ed by Robert Harper, tri-state league statistician, Mattox of Vir- ginia Polytechnic Institute is leading the batters of the tri- state league with an average of .526. Woodworth, slugging North Carolina’ State infielder, is second to the Tech outfielder with an average of .521. Radice of Mary- land is third by his walloping the horsehide at a .500 clip. Jackson of the University of North Carolina, leads the slug- gers of the league with two home runs to his credit. Three men are tied for run scoring honors. Woodworth. Wolfpack infielder, Barnhart and Maus of the University of North Carolina, are deadlocked with nine tallies each. Slanker of Washington and Lee is in second place, having dented the plate on eight occasions. Baseball Players Lead Averages At Rutgers University New Brunswick, N. J.-Ratings of fraternities, clubs and student activities announced by the reg- istrar’s office at Rutgers univer- sity reveal that baseball players were highest in their studies among the athletes with an av- erage of 2.333. Cross-country followed with 2.560, lacrosse 2.768, track 2.824, basketball 2.820, swimming 2.871, wrestling 2.930, football 3.135.

The aver- age of the entire group of activi- ties was 2.827, as compared with the 2.913 average of fraternity men and the 2.674 mark of non- fraternity men. 0 John Brown college located at Siloam, Spring, Ark., admits only students who cannot pay their way through school. DR. SMITH TO SPEAK AT COMMENCEMENT For the first time in the his- tory of the University the graduating class of Washington and Lee will be addressed by a president of the institution. The Board of Trustees of the University, by unanimous con- sent, offered Doctor Henry Louis Smith the invitation and he has accepted. The address will be made on Tuesday morn- ing, May 4 The coming commencement brings to a close Doctor Smith’s last year as official head of Washington and Lee. He re- linquishes his post on Jan. 1, 1930. ‘ f Former Registrar Of University Dies In North Carolina Noble D. Smithson, for eight years at Washington and Lee University, died suddenly at Asheville, N. C., Friday, April 26, of heart disease. Mr. Smith- son was about 40 years old. He was born at Lewisburg, Tenn., and entered Washington and Lee in 1905, graduating in law in 1911. He served as registrar form 1912 to 1920. After leaving Lexington he married Miss Sar- ah V. Alley, who survives him with one daughter. He had been 2‘. sufferer of heart disease for several years. He last visited Lex- ington in December. He was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity. The Asheville Times of April 26 says of Mr. Smithson: Noble D.

Mr. Smithson was chosen assist- ant trust officer of the Wachovia Bank and Trust company at the annual meeting of the board of directors Jany 8. He had been with the Wachovia organization continuously since April, 1923, although he was lo- cated here u'ntil 1920, when he became associated with the bu- reau of applied economics at Washington. Mr. Smithson also served for fifteen months as internal reve- nue agent in the field audit sec- tion of the income tax section, bureau of internal revenue, U. S. treasury department. He was a native of Tennessee He secured his preliminary train- ing at Hayne -McLean school, at Lewisburg, Tenn.

Possibility of a faculty member and alumnus, Dr. William M. Brown, professor of education and. psychology, succeeding Harry F. Byrd as governor of Virginia was indicated Thursday.

Several books written by alum- mi of Washington and Lee have recently been presented to the library of the Alumni club room. Among the latest that have been given are two by Dr. Thom- as Jesse Jones, ’92, who is the educational director of the Stokes Phelps fund in New York City. One of these, “Four Essentials of Education” was published in 1926, while the other. “Essent- ials of Civilization,” has just been releeased by Henry Holt and Company, publishers. It is dedicated to three men, one of whom, James H. Dillard, gradu- ated here in ’77. On the fly leaf of this book is a note from the author, “To the Alumni Club (Continued on Page Four). Generals Kept ldle By Rain Wolfpack Game Scheduled For Tuesday Is Wash- ed Out North Carolina State journeyed back to Raleigh Tuesday without encountering the Generals in their scheduled baseball game to the advent of Jupiter Pluvius Mon- day night and contiuing on throughout the day. For the Generals it was more or less fortunate to have the game rained out as they are not going any too good at the present time anyway.

I. a neat lacing in the way of whitewash, 2-0 Captain White and his men will be idle until Tuesday of next week when the Generals encoun- ter Maryland in a return engage- ment on Wilson Field.

One would guess that the dean of women has for herself a time of it. natorial race. They follow a dis- patch originating Thursday Iin Norfolk to ‘the effect that the anti-Smith state committee has picked the educator and would nominate him at the Roanoke convention June 18. Anti-Smith leaders in that city according to the dispatch, gave the impression that Doctor Brown had been in communication with their \representatives. This was denied yesterday in the following telegram to the Norfolk Ledger- Dispatch from Doctor Brown: His Telegram. “In reply to your telegram of this date I would say that I have had no official communica- tion from any of the anti-Smith leaders as to the coming guber- natorial campaign. It would therefore, be presumptious on my part to make any statement for publication at this time.” Doctor Brown said yesterday he did not see how the committee could make any nominee selection as that was the business of the convention. There has been no meeting of the committee recent- ly as far as he knows, he said. The anti-Smith committee com- posed of one representative from each of the ten congresional dis- tricts is apparently interested in securing an educator for its par- ty nominee. Much talk of nomi- nating Dr. Joseph D. Eggleston, of Hampden-Sidney college, took place several months ago, but he dispersed the reports. The anti-Smith party is an out- growth opposition to the 1928 Democratic presidential nominee which developed in the national campaign. Leaders in the move- ment organized their supporters early in the year and decided to place a ticket, in the state field. “My opposition to the Demo- cratic nominee, or rather my sup- port of Hoover last year, is the cause of my being mentioned as a possible anti-Smith nomi- nee, Doctor Brown said yester- day. He attributed the Norfolk rumors to friends in that sec- tion. Chances “Good” Chances of Doctor Brown be- coming governor, should he be nominated at the anti-Smith group, are considered “good” by several Lexington political ob- servers. It was pointed out yes- terday he should be supported by practically the same voters who in November carried Virginia into the republican column. A town republican said it appeared certain his party would make no attempt to enter the state field in the coming election, and con- ceded to Doctor Brown, should he be nominated, the support of his party. Doctor Brown is 35 years old. He was born in Lynchburg and received his early schooling in Danville. In 1914 he received an A. B. from Washington and Lee and a year later an M. A. He also holds masters’ degrees from several other colleges and a Ph.D. from Columbus university. He is a member of the Delta Kappa Ep-- silon social fraternity, Phi Beta Kappa, Kappa Phi Kappa, and one of the founders of Omicron Delta Kappa. Doctor Brown has been on the faculty in his present position since 1920. Immediately after obtaining his A. B. degree he taught here for a period and then left to serve in the war and to become principal of the Danville high school. He has never had an active part in the state politics, but has served on several state welfare commissions. He is a thirty-second degree Mason and a Shriner. o Freshmen have to continue wearing ther-little caps at Ohio State University, as long as they are freshmen, and the tradition is to be enforced by the fratern- ities.

A university is known by the publicity and advertising it gets; every year pros- pective students shrug their shoulders and nonchalantly ship to other campuses. Today students are going to colleges that are well known, that get publicity, that are kept before the eyes of the public. Wash- ington and Lee is faltering in this line. Those connected with the destinies of Washington and Lee are hesitating about spending money for advertising. “It pays to advertise,” and “he who hesitates is lost.” The advertising Washington and Lee needs, is not, of course, of the same type as the valley prep school. But advertising that results in an increased prestige and appeals to the better class of students would not be wasted. Mere members are not needed, it is quality, not quantity. The tuition for four students here is slightly more than a thousand dollars. If this sum, the tuition of four, were proper- ly spent, twenty-five, fifty, or even a hun- dred more applications would be received each year. And from this number, by our selective method, could be chosen many worthwhile men. America is witnessing strange things in the educational world. The craze for uni- versity education is subsiding. Untold mil- .lions have been spent in providing for hun- carrying his lover’s body. Four hours after Carey reached the Colorado town he died from self-inflicted poison. How about this last ridegtogetherl Was it different from the others they had taken together? What thoughts did Carey have when he slowly drove the car from the soli- tude of the mountain side to the hustling and bustling crowds and noises on the city’s main street? What a tale Carey might have written had he been a Poe or DeMaupassant or some other literary genius! Had Brown- ing’s great genius showed in Carey’s brain, what a wonderous “last ride together” might have been written by this lover as he drove his lover’s body back to “civiliza- tion!” What is it that Browning says in these unforgettable lines? Then we began to ride. My soul Smooth’d itself out, a long cramp’d scroll Freshening and fluttering in the wind. Past hopes already lay behind. What need to strive with a life awry? Had I said that, had I done this, 30 might I gain, so might I miss. Might she have loved me just as well? She might have hated, who can tell? Where had I been now if the worst bcfcll? And here we are riding, she and I! Look at the end of work, contrast The petty done, the undone vast, This present of theirs with the hopeful past! I hoped she would love me; here we ride. What hand and brain went ever pair’d? What heart alike conceived and dared? What act proved all its thoughts had been? What will but felt the fleshly screen? We ride and I see her bosom heave. I‘here’s many a crown for who can reach. Then lines, a statesman’s life in each! The flag stuck on a heap of bones, A soldier’s doing, what atones? They scratch his name on the abbey stones. And you, great sculptor—so you gave A score of years to art, her slave, And that’s your Venus, whence we turn To yonder girl that fords the burn. Who knows what’s fit for us? Had fate Prospered bliss here should sublimate My being—had I sign’d the bond—— Still one must lead some life beyond, Have a bliss to die with, dim-descried. This foot once planted «on the goal, This glory-garland ’round my soul, Could I decry such? Try and test! I sink back shuddering from the quest. Earth being so good, would heaven seem best? Now, heaven and she are beyond this ride. And yet—she has not spoke so long! What if heaven be that, fair and strong At life’s best, with our eyes unturn’d, “ THE RING-TUM PHI A4... What Other Editors Say hf». TURNING TO DR. BROWN Undismayed by their failure to draft Dr. J. D. Eggdeston, presi- dent of Hampden-Sidney College, to lead the hosts into battle at Armageddon, the Anti-Smith forc- es now are said to be turning their attention to Dr. W. M Brown, profesor of psychology at Washington and Lee. How Dr. Brown looks upon the move to vest him with the gubernator- ial nomination of the left wing of the Virginia Democracy we do not know. He is comparative- ly unknown outside educational circles, to the best of our belief, hence 2. few facts concerning him may not be ‘amiss. Dr. Brown is listed as a Demo- crat, although he has never been avctive in politics. He is 35 years old, a Presbyterian, Mason, Shrin- er and Kiwanian. A native of Lynchburg, he is an alumnus of Washington and Lee and sub- sequently took post-graduate work at Columbia University. He served in the World War as a second lieutenant of infantry.

Edison is seeking an Ameri- can youth whose scientific mind may quali- fy him to carry on the work of the great. inventor. When this boy has been selected Mr. Edison will educate him and give him every advantage. Upon graduation he will It is the fatous belief of the Anti-Smith leaders that the Re- publicans are going to support their nominee for Governor in preference to putting up a candi- date of their own. They also profess to believe that the puis- sant Bishop Cannon will not sup- port either of the three Democrat- ic aspirants for Governor but will give his suport to the nomi- nee of Roanoke convention. In fact one of them is said to have told a Norfolk newspaper private- ly that he “had it in black and white” that Senator Mapp was not acceptable to the bishop. It has been taken for granted all along that Dr. Pollard would not get the bishop’s support—not that there is any reason to be- lieve Dr. Pollard desires it. Hence the idea of the Anti-Smith lead- ers to center upon a nominee who can get the backing of the Republicans, on the one hand, and of Bishop Cannon, on the other.

YOUTH WILL REVOLT The revolt of youth, which has been bothering magazine article writers, savants aunts, recently slipped across the‘ Canadian border and caused quite a stir at McGill University A group of freshmen women at that institution became surfeited with the domineering practices of their seniors and pulled the well-known worm-turning act. and maiden The frosh formed a bucket bri- gade, proceeded to drench very thoroughly the upper-class women and climaxed their uprising by ringing the fire alarm and evac- uating the field of battle, leav- ing the seniors holding the fam- ous burlap receptacle. The McGill water carnival is indicative of the prominent trend toward equality of classes in campus conduct, and reminds us of former years at Washington when seeds of revolt were sown here, with the result that the Pipe Convert Ends Agonizing Tobacco Hunt New York, N. Y. Larus & Bro. Co. June 30' 1926 Richmond, Va. Gentlemen : I started smoking on cigarettes, but after meeting a young lady for whom men who smoked pipes had a greater charm, I promptly switched to one. Then my agony began. I tried one brand of tobacco after another, al- ways working on the theory that the more you paid for tobacco, the better it would be. I _tried imported special mixtures. I paid as much as fifty cents an ounce. All to no avail. Then came the day I tried Edge- worth. It was at a ball game. I had run short of the certain brand I was smoking, and a casual acquaintance offered _me a pipeful from his pouch. Imagine my delight when after the first. few puffs I did not feel the old familiar bite. I puffed on, inhaling the delightful aroma, and oh, boy! It was sweet right down to the bottom. _ Nothing has separated me from my P_1De. or my pipe from Edgeworth, since then. .

Washington and Lee must sur- vive. This year our university has seen the largest enrollment of its history. It has not suffered yet, it must not suffer. There are three distant phases of adver- tising, pioneering, competetive, and retent- itive. For years, Washington and Lee has enjoyed the third field, secure in its posit- ion. An analogy may be drawn between uni- versity publicity and cigarette advertising. About a decade ago Piedmont cigarettes enjoyed the third field. Today lack of ad- vertising Piedmonts have about passed from the picture—eclips_ed by Chester- fields, Old Golds, Lucky Strikes, and Cam- els. ' . Washington and Lee’s budget for “pub- licity” is too scanty to even consider an appropriation, and its advertising sum must be less. Education is competetion today— competition necessitates advertising. Will Washington and Lee continue to progress or become a “has-been?” YO Can a successor be found for the gray haired wizard? Will anyone be able to re- place him and continue the great work the genius has begun? A hasty answer would no doubt bring a negative reply from thousands. But on a careful investigation and after deliberation we would say Mr. Edison will have a suc- cessor—one who will possibly be a greater masterer of new things than the wizard himself. No one knows what the future has in store. After Washington completed his eight years as president Americans were dubious about finding a capable successor. John Adams was found and Jefferson followed him. America encountered its first war under Jefferson. Could anyone be as capable as the Virginian was during a war stricken era? Along came Lincoln. Fifty years or more later America was engaged in another war. Could anyone manage this country during such a struggle as well as “Old Abe?” Yes, Wilson did.

GEORGE PRICE. A state collegiate track cham- pion will be crowned this after- noon at Charlottesville when ‘the thin clads of Virginia, V. M. I., V. P. I., and Washington and Lee hook up in a quadrangular meet to vie for honors among Virginia Southern conference runners. Thirty—seven athletes, compris- ing twenty-three varsity and fourteen freshmen, will represent the Blue and White. The Gen- crals expects to display a team that will garner points in the majority of runs to offset the marked weakness of performers in the field. Hopes for firsts in the timber topping brigade and the pole Vault and half mile are cherished by the yearlings. Led by Captain Flippin, the Virginia cinder pounders are con- fident that they have at least half a dozen performers that are sure point winners. Flippin has run the low sticks in 15 seconds, his latest victory being in the recent Penn relays where he placed first in his specialty. Wisner is count- ed upon in the broad jump. He broke the school record this spring with a leap of 23 feet 6 inches. With Motely heaving the discus 130 feet, Day tossing the shot 43 feet 6 inches, Turner twirling the javelin 169 feet and Cooke vaulting 11 feet 6 inches the hosts have reason to expect scorers in the field. V. M. I. Enters Twelve. Only twelve cinder artists, all of whom are relied upon to place for V. M. I., will participate. Captain Walker, hurler, Read and Swank in the pole vault, Upson in the 440, Mitchell in the 880, Bond and Smith in the distance runs and Hause and Grow in the field are point earners in previ- ous meets who contemplate scoring; for the Keydets.

Grant, who placed fifth to Simpson, Ohio State, in the Penn carnival last Saturday, and Sandifer, versatile all-around trackster, will start in the cen- tury and 220. In Sheppard and Dickey the Generals will have in the quarter two of their crack relay quartet who have run one- two in every meet this year. Cap- tain Backus, closing his running career in a most sensational style, will enter both the mile and 880. Decision as to whether the mile relay will count in the team scor- ling will be reached immediately before the events start. If the coaches agree to have the relay count only first place will be rec- ognized with the victor receiving five points. With wins over the Little Gen- erals and V. M. 1. rats, the V. P.

Martin worked on the mound for the Little Generals and did not show the form that he had in shutting out the Virginia frosh and turning back Jefferson High school team in the last two games before the’ Greenbrier fray. The cadets were able to touch Mar- tin frequently and bunch their hits at opportune times and de- feat the yearlings. The Blue and White infield played in fine form in the field_ but hitting honors went to the outfield men. Jarrett, cadet mound ace, worked against the freshman and pitched a good game.
