Coach Donahue has not announced the exact personnel of the squad that will take the eastward flight. Three pitchers, the regular infield, four out- iielders and one catcher will compose the party. Manager Beckwith will not accompany work in the law school forcing him to remain in Lexington, he states. It will take five victories in the six engagements to give the Generals an even break for the season. The form shown against A. and M. has given Coach Donahue hope of this ac- complishment. Dr. F. A.

When Dr. Denny arrived Thursday evening, he was met by the:student body, which was in a buoyant and demonstrative frame of mind.

Pleasant reminiscences of Washington and Lee of the past occupied the opening moments of his speech, but he then turned to the more abstract subject “The Larger Duties of College Bred Men. ” By interspersing his speech with jokes and quips that illustated his points, Dr. Denny kept his hearers in a jovial mood. To add to the pleasures of Dr. Denny‘s visit, President and Mrs. H. L. Smith tendered a reception to the fo1‘mer2p1'esiden’t at the president’s mansion. ]versity of Alabama on Saturday morning.

With the Aggies in the fore with a three run lead as the re- sult of hitting Hastings in the first two innings, the little southpaw was dispatched to the slab to hold the Ag- gies.

While the Aggies were battled, the Generals fathomed the offerings of Jaynes, after four futile attempts, in the fifth inning and, aided by four misplays of the Aggie infield, scored six runs.

At this time the names of the newly elected members will be made public, and the fortunate ones will be initiated into the mysteries of the organization.

He will deliver an address on the subject of “America’s Interest in the European War and in the :Outcome,‘' ’which promises to prove of special interest in view of the present world situation. Dr. Latane is widely known as an authority on all questions of international law and polity, and is one of the best-informed men on his subject. in the country today.

" He then presented a handsome gold- Zieaded cane a token of regard from those who were here scholarly travail under his regime. The presentation provoked a de- lightful session of reminiscences from Dr. Denny. He liarkened back to the balmy days, when there was no New- comb hall. no library, no sidewalks about the campus, and then traced the development of Washington and Lee under his administration until he turned it over to his successor. While he did not slight _ the physical side of the University, he showed how the entrance requirements had been in- creased and how even the mighty au- tomatic rule had found a place in ‘Nashingtonand Lee. During his rec- ollections of the past, he illustrated .ltS deficiencies in equipment, funds and scholastic requirements by a series of sprightly humorous tales. But the speaker decided that he had a far more serious Inessage to the Assembly than the reminiscences of days of yore, pleasant as they were to him. He announced that he would essay to show “The Larger Duties of College Bred Men, ” by pointing out the more prominent positions the col- lege occupy in the progress of civili- zation and t"n<-. (le:‘::ids on the pullic upon those men w o wish to be lead- ers, using \Vashington and Lee as an example. He discussed the college of today Its needs, its work and its objects. I\7aturally the consideration turned to the men who go to college, setting up his ideal of character and laying stress ;ipon character as the all—important ibject to be cultivated and trained. With “love thy neighbor as thyself" and “Seek the trutli“ the two principle tenets of his creed of char- acter building, he explaiinwl its pre- eminent position in life. “chiiracter the touchstone of our whole lives, “ said he. “What prolit it a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul '3" _ In establishing the retpiirements for success in life, Dr. Denny emphasized both general and teclinical training. He avered that education was not all; that a college was for men of ambi- tion and energy. “The one high vir- tue that I most covet that of courage, ” he asserted, “the kind of courage that drives malice from the heart. " Social service. devotion to the needs of humanity and self—sacrifice were his ideals for a true public leader to embrace, and he recommend- ed these to college men. , He closed episode that Denny ’ s during Dr. showing the in 215 is his address with some verses _from the poems of .lohn Trotwood Moore. l The principal social event during l to which he has been subjected, hef -~ —..—.~ :' " - . Dr. Denny's visit was a delightful re- ception tendered the guest of honor, by President and Mrs. Henry Louisf Smith at their residence on‘ the cam- pus. The reception afforded the} members of the Senior classes and thel members of the fculty an opportunity ‘ to meet Dr. Denny. Some ofhis in— ‘ timate friends among the .to.w_nspeople : were invited to attend. j Refreshments, consisting of ice ,wrath oi" the elements and veritable cream, cake and punch, were served the guests by the young ladies of Lex- ington, who attended in large num- bers. Until 10:80 the guests enjoy- ed the hospitality of the president. Neither the habitual tardiness of the C 0. train nor the hastily per- fected arrangements for the reception prevented the Washington and Lee student body from giving Dr. Denny ai rousing ovation on his return to Lex- ington last Thursday evening. The arrival of the president was a signal for a storm of cheers and applause, as the band boomed forth the fami- liar and inspiring strains the “Swing. "’ After expending of its vocal energy in :1 series of yells, the crowd, whichl included over 300 students, formeol in line behind the automobile, bedeck- ed in white and blue, which was to convey the guest of honor. Headed by the Band, the procession began its noisy march through town. The escort continued to the home of Dr. Howe where Dr. Denny thanked the students for their warm reception and the celebration closed;with a long yell for “Mike. " THE APRIL COELEGIAII MAKES ITS APPEARANCE with literary effort, the Southern Collegian Brimining over attractive for April made its appearance-last week. Two stories of fiction, four poems, an essay and an anecdote, to- gether with the usual departments, compose the contents of the Collegian. The “Spotlight” has been discontin- ued. I One of the most conspicuous accom- plishments in the magazine is “A Description of the Storm," a trans- lation into poetical form of a passage i'rom Virgil by A. B. Sheppr‘ on. It is rather unique in that it manifests an interest in the classics, which re- ceive such scantly attention nowadays. William Lamont has contributed a creditable “The Hope of Progress. " It presents a vast amount of literary and philosophical study and the v.'riter feels that the irrepres- sible determination of humanity to seek the truth is that hope. l-lill Keleher and I’. C. Thomas have con- tributed two gripping short stories of an opposite type. “The ‘Priest of Volga" by Thomas and “The Jour- ney’s Entl“ by Keleher are indeed unusually attractive. N. l}.

Moomawis "Un- armored," A. B. Shepperson’s “A Description of the Storm" and John Dudley McCready’s “To Georgi-a’s Sweetest Peach.

With three decla- inations and one oration, besides debate, the society was constantly en« tertained. The debate was unusually spicy and full of clash, elements absolutely necessary for an interest- ing discussion. S. L. Robertson opened the pro- gram by a declamation, reciting In- galls“Eulogy of Benjamin Hill.” He was followed by F. B. Potter, who declaimet “The Last Words of Emperor Ottro of I?.ome."'° A post- poned declamation was then delivered by W. O. Burtner, who recited Senator Boar's speech on “The Sub- jugation of the Philippines. The sole orator of the evening‘ was L. W. Harris, who took for his si:lrj<‘,Ct, "After the War. " One of the great questions of the present day is, shall the U. S. in~ crease her army and navy, -..uu.l thus be better prepared for war’? And how is the best way to do this without leading to the Germanistic policy of militarism I’ VVith regard to these inquiries, four members of the socie- ty undertook to argue about the ques- tion; Resolved, “That the Colleges and Universities of the (‘pantry should adopt Military Training; for men.” A. 1..

Next Saturday night the two liter- ary societies will hold tlieir third joint meeting oft the session. in Defeat For Lofty—B rowed Hopes ill" the li>f'Ly»-bi'nl, and Lee," H. M. Shumate and H. M.

Hansel and M. Belll decided that thenegative should be given the decision. Thus, a noble hope heard its death rattle. C. H. Miller opened the programi- me by a declamation of Conwin’s. “Speech on Mexico.” Twoextem»i poraneous speeches were delivered that were keenly received. William A. Lamont speaking upon “'I'he Ad- ininistration’s Foreign Policy" ex- plained how the United States was seeking to preserve her neutrality, while C. P.

Equity Pleading, which has formerly been dealt with in the course 3f Common Law Pleading, and Crimi- nal Procedure, which has been includ- ed in Criminal Law, will be taught as full term courses during the ]3I5— ‘I6 session. The recitation periods will be short- ened fifteen minutes and thus conflicts will be avoided. Four recitations, each one hour and fifteen minutes long, have been arranged daily and will permit a much more satisfactory arrangement of classes. The subjects, which heretofore have been taught each day for one term, will be given three or four times each week for two terms. The newly adopted regulations will not affect the students, who matricu- lated during the '1914—15 session, by requiring them to take the two addi- tional subjects, but they will be sub- ject to the rearrangement of the order in which the classes \vill meet. With the institution of the new courses, will come a shift among the professors. Professor H. B. Scher- merhorn will teach Agency, which was imparted by Professor Long dur- ing the past session, while he will also be in charge of the courses in Corporations and Bankruptcy, former- ly under the direction of Professor Clovis Moomaw. Professor Moreland will take charge of the enlarged courses in Criminal Procedure and Equity Pleading. Of the new couses, Professor Moo- maw will teach Sales and Personal Property, while Mr. Schermerhorn will instruct in Damages. While the Uni- versity will offer the two year course, it will be so difficult to procure a de- gree in that time, it is believed. that the vast majority will matriculate for the three year programme. The course of stud_v for the three year course is: First year. First term——-Introduc- tory Course, Contracts, Domestic Re- fations, Criminal l.a\';; Second term— - Contracts, Torts: Third term —Per— sonal property, Insurance, Interna- tional Law. Second year.

From Arkansas to ‘West Vir- ginia, assurances have been received that different alumni will return to Lexington. Thirty—eight have al- ready pledged their presence. From far away Arkansas comes the assurance that Clifi' Foster,i Earl S. Wood and Ben Harvey will attend. The party will make the trip from Pine Bluff by motor. Under the spur of Jimmie Caskie, the Lynchburg alumni are responding nobly. The following will be here: B. F. Kirkpatrick, Mr. and Mrs. Ca- rey Barker, Saunders Fleming, R. H. Anderson, Sam Williams,. CE. Burks, T. S.Kirkytrick and .I. D. Christian. Mr. Caskie writes that he expects to swell this list considerably before finals. In additioI1:,to bringing themselves, the Lynchburg delegation is planning to bring a galaxy of the fair sex. Three or four autos will accompany the party. As inquiries have been received as to whether the younger Lexington alumni will enter into the festivities, the list of these notables is added this week. gr?- ;_ L. R.

Smith and Porter have registered better records, but they have been at hat but four times. ‘Johnny Gallagher, though he possesses a hitting mark of .187, has the larg- est number of runs. From a glance at the figures, it will be seen that the hitting of the infield has been woefully weak. Brown, Gallagher and Captain Col- ville are slugging below the .200 mark. Little Battle Bagley, by dent- ing Jaynes for three wallops in the A. and M. game, secured a position among the .300 hitters. Ben Rives was slugging .338 when Bailey sup- planted him at first base. Cy Young, the leader of the Gener- als in hitting during the 1914 season, is ranking but .250 as the result of a slump with the willow. Colville, who batted over the three century mark in 1914, has descended,below the .200 mark to .192. Before the clashes with the two North Carolina aggregations, Outfield- er Johnny Harrison was hitting over .400. As the result of his failure to solve either Williams and Jaynes safe- ly, he had chopped to .280. Bailey has driven out the greatest number of hits-—~ele\'en. Johnny Gal- lagher with two homers and a double is the leading slugger, although large number when June rolls around. Letters from all over the country are coming in daily with favorable re- ports. We expect Ii number of addi- tional pledges soon.
