Palmer took a fall from Veechl after 7:00 minutes of hard wrestling} and the following day, Palmer also: pinned Stowe in 4:53, therefore he will represent the Baby Generals, against the Gobbler Frosh. In the 145 lb. class Gautier count-: ed a fall over Stowe after 3:00, but the following match saw Sutherland emerge triumphant by a fall over, Gautier and gave him the coveted position on the team. Flagg is the hope of the 158 lb. candidates by virtue of two decisions gained over Lewis, the other aspir- ant. Newsom and Mitchell, both un- opposed in their respective Weightsi of l‘T5 and unlimited, are expected to show up well in their initial matches Monday evening. The Varsity tryouts ran about as they did in the former meet against Richmond Y. M. C. A. Gresham was unopposed in the 155 lb. division and looks like a sure winner on Monday. I Thompson found a decision over Smith in 8:40 and will wrestle the 125 weight in the match. Davis was the chosen member of the 1235 lb. class after conquering Poineroy twice in close decisions each time. Tully will again show his stuff in the 145 lb. weight, since he took the measure of Paddock in two bouts, each time by a fall. Sperry made the team at 158, by gaining two falls over Madison, who however put up a plucky fight. Captain Seligman will be in the 175 lb. berth. This is Mike’s third year on the Varsity, and during that long period he has suffered but one defeat, and that by a time decision in an extra period engagement. His record includes victories over men at Navy, Virginia, V. P. I., North Carolina, and schools of lesser im- portance. He is the backbone of the team this year and his match with Virginia Poly’s captain should be a feature attraction. The Varsity this year is severely handicapped by the absence of such outstanding‘ stars as: Wilkes, 125- lb., all—Southern Conference cham- pion; Rule, 135—lb. all-South Atlantic champion; Driver, 115 lb. monogram man in the 158 lb. class. Only two lettermen remain, Captain Seligman and Bolton, both good men to build a team around. (Continued on Page 4) BY THE STUDENTS, WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY, JAN. 14,.

Until Feb. 4 “m;H.EE‘;s lDPrPSmith Offers‘-A l Suggestions For Exam Preparing The following suggestions on how to study for the coming examina-l tions were made yesterday by Dr. Henry Louis Smith. They are listed under seven separate heads, and are particularly applicable to the Wash- ington and Lee student,—as the ex- amination schedule often calls for four or five examinations in suc- cession. ' 1. Study with fierce intensity, ob- livious to‘ all surroundings, and burning‘ every paragraph, diagram, and relationship into your mind. i 2. Interrupt such study with fife- quent rest periods and changes of subject. Study forty-five minutes and take a brisk walk or run the ‘other fifteen: minutes. Repeating this exercise everyhour will enable you to gain three or four times the knowledge that would have been gained if you such breaks. Changes of subject are almost as valuable as resting periods. To studyeone subject two hours, a dif- ferent one two more, and a third the fifth hour will probably double the value of a five hour morning period of hard study. 3. Get plenty of sleep the night i for whose ticket he lead in 1924. O “Y” Announces List of Noted Men Secured To Speak The university Y. M. C.

Friday the thirteenth was a hard luck night for the Generals in their attempt at revenge against the Maryland Old Liners, who came out on top in a see-saw game by a 31 to 28 score. It was the closest and hardest fought clash played in Doremus Gymnasium this season and kept the enthusiastic gallery of ;650 on their toes every second. It ‘was a toss-up as to who would be the winner until’ seven minutes be- ‘fore the final whistle when Madigan, Adams, and Radice dropped in the lbaskets in rapid succession to give lthe Terrapins a six point lead.

We haven't one, ’ but our bare gymnasium can be made more comfortable and our assemblies more dignified and worthy of our school if we all comply with the following suggestions for our gatherings: 1. Proceed promptly to the gymnasium at the ringing of the 10:30_(or 12:30) bell. The doors will be closed at five minutes past the hour announced for the assembly. 2. 3. Take the nearest possible seat to the swimming pool end of the gymnasium in the section assigned to your class. (See plan on bulletin boards). A vacant seat on your right means someone else standing. Enter the gymnasium by’ the far door. 4. The balcony is reserved for visitors. 5. Leave the gymnasium by the nearest exit. Faculty Commitce in Charge of Public Functions, JOHN A. GRAHAM, Chairman.

THE GREATEST CONTEMPORARY NOVELIST PASSES NDER the above caption, the Richmond NEWS-LEADER of Thursday discusses the death of Thomas Hardy at his home in England Wednesday in the following terms: I’ The greatest man in contemporary English literature died yesterday. Eighty-seven years old, long past the time of productive work, the splendor of his name had not been dimmed at the hour of his death, nor had his fame been lessened by any of those who came after. V ' ' Born in early Victorian days, but never a. Victorian in any sense, Thomas Hardy was 64 when he wrote The Dynasts, a drama of England’s struggle against Napoleon. Although it was not an enduring work in itself, it contains a running commentary after the matter of the chorus in the Greek tragedies. The use of that form, more fully perhaps than anything else, revealed Hardy's philosophy of No. 20-1927-8. The Controlling Aim of your Undergraduate Training. Education is ‘of course the multiform and complex develop- ment of an immature individual, not in mind only but in body, intellect, will-power, personality, and moral character. Each type and period of training however complex has a dominant motive and method. In the four-year undergradu- ate period this‘ dominant motive and controlling method is not the amassing of knowledge, however encyclopedia, nor is it more intellectual training, how- ever rigorous" and ‘invigorating. Neither isit the awakening or the gratifyingof a ‘passion for research. The aims and results of under- graduate training 0‘ are as” com- plex as human nature but the central and leading motive’ is not concerned with subjects‘ but with citizens, not a matter of degrees but of men; it is the creation, stimulation, and right moulding of i a certain type of American citizen. _:_o____._ literature and of life. In his eyes, blood and circumstances shape a man for a ‘fate he is powerless to escape." Every man is an Orestes, and every woman an Electra. The func- tion of the novelist is simply to record the progress of fate. Voice ofthc W. 6 L. Student Body This Hardy did, never with passion, but always with candor and frequently with quality that some have considered apologetic and some have styled ironical. It was often" said of, him that his women are more French than English: it would be closer to accuracy to say they are more Grecian than either French or English-——Grecian both in the author’s view of their minds and in his treatment of their lives. ’ He has three tremendous novels to his credit-—that sombre Return of the Native, which some regard as the greatest English novel, his famous Tess of the D’Urbervilles,’and his thought-provoking Jude the Obscure. His other novels will be read fifty years hence only by the people who write books. The great three will remain a part of the last herit- age of English letters. SUPPORT OUR DINING HALL HE management of the Dining Hall is desirous of finding out the reason or reasons Why the students who can con- veniently do so do not patronize the Dining Hall when it means so much to every student of Washington and Lee for it to be a success. ’ So far this year it has furnished jobs for 12 worthy boys, and to shut the doors now means that most of these boys will "be forced to stop school. The management understands thoroughly why fraternity men who eat at their respective houses are un- ablie to patronize the Dining Hall. but is unable to account for the action of these men who prefer to ‘eat at hash joints or Greek restaurants even at a smaller cost rather than eat where they are getting good Wholesome food and helping worthy boys through school. The Dining Hall pays no salaries to anyone except the cooks, and is planning to reduce the board as soon as last year’s deficit can be absorbed. So far this year the Dining Hall has made money and it went to help pay the debt of last year. However, at the present time there are less than forty men eating there, and unless this number is increased, it may become necessary to close the doors——certainly a deplorable condition. 1 Please remember that the Dining Hall is run for your benefit; no profits go to anyone, and under the present management we can feed you better and cheaper than anyone in town. Why? Because (1) our overhead is less, (2) we buy our goods as cheap or cheaper than the others and (3) we pay no salaries to anyone. Certainly every student at Washington and Lee realizes why he should eat at the dining hall from a standpoint of college spirit. Come on boys, stick by us and let’s get 75 men in there by February 1. Everybody boast the Dining Hall and help us fill it !———THE MANAGEMENT. n v PREVOKATIVE OF THOUGHT EMARKS entirely foreign to the usual conception of a Washington and Lee student body were heard all too frequently during the course of last night's game with Maryland. Hissing, personal comments, and audible criticism of the decisions of officials of the games played in Doremus gymnas- ium and on Wilson Field are the last thing we expect from members of the student body here, and it was with extreme disapproval that athletic authorities, student body officers, and the vast majority of students heard a small minority voicing their own opinions of certain rulings of the referee- Proper cheering, and plenty of it, is essential to the high, morale of teams, as we pointed out recently. Noises of the wrong color, however, cast discredit on the good name of Wash- ington and Lee, and it was with pleasure that we witnessed the action of Captain Summers in calling a technical foul in favor of the visiting team last night. Old men in school well remember similar action on the part of some students at the Richmond game a little over a year ago. Every official will admit that in a fast game, where play" travels rapidly from one end of the floor to the other, he is bound to make mistakes, both of omission and commission. It is not for the spectators to express their opinions on his rulings, however, and the provision in the rules for the calling of a penalty for such conduct was inserted specifically to curb actions. Now that the 1927 Football season has ended and the sche- dule for 1928 has been posted, the interest of the student body seems to be centering on wheth- er the V. P. I.—W. and L. game will be played in Lynchburg, We, and we are not alone in our opinion, noted with great disfavor last year that the game would be played in Blacksburg. When the game was played in Blacksburg our disfavor increas- ed to absolute disgust. Not having the foresight to bring lunch, we had to go hungry due to the lack of eating facilities there. Then we found it neces- sary to return somewhere to find a place to sleep. While Lexington does have better facilities for handling a crowd than Blacksburg, and hav- ing the game here is not so bad, it seems to us that when the game was made a home and home affair it took away from the students one of the annual affairs on every man's Calendar, namely a trip to the “Hilly City,” where our reception has always been more than cordial, and the policemen are all put to bed for one joyous night. We do not need another game here for a home-coming day. The game with Virginia serves one year and the Maryland game the next year. If V. P. 1. needs a home-coming day, why not let them pick on someone else instead of making all the students spend a hectic night in a village built for ten people. We do not know where the game'will be played next year, but we sincerely hope that it will go back to Lynchburg, and stay there from year to year. We believe this can be arrang- ed, and we hope that the auth- orities will take steps to see that the game is played next yearwhere most of the students would like to see it played, and where a genuine holiday is en- joyed by all, and where true southern hospitality is shown to "Washington and Lee-—-in Lynchburg.

Crabtree, secretary of the national association, who pro- vidrs this information considers that the institution is very fortunate in having as its committee chairman one who is not only a constructive thinker and leader, but one of excep- tionally high standing in his pro- fession. The chairman will be in- formed as to the policies and activi- ties of the association and will, in turn, call the attention of the fac- ulty to important matters. Secretary Crabtree declares that the college is now the weakest link in the organized profession. While college professors have been devoted and loyal to their technical groups, they have not, as a rule, been great- ly interested in problems relating to the larger fraternal welfare. He gives this as one of the reasons why colleges have been so slow in read- justing salaries to meet the increas- ed costs and new conditions. :_0______ Judge McDermott To Make Address Judge C. J.

The conference is to consider various questions, the first of which is the custodianship and care of Lee chapel and mausoleum. The published date for Commence- ment next June conflicts with the published date of the Virginia Mili- Washington and Lee In the Past 1909 “The College Widows” and the “Pink Grass-Hoppers”, two local basketball teams composed of girls and boys respectively engaged in a game here recently. The main sig- nificience Of the affair was the “mixed” idea, which was a new thing for Lexington. Nevertheless the game was carried through and the “widows” won despite the handi- cap of skirts, 13-8. ‘ 1912 A boycott against McCrum’s Drug Store and the Lyric Theatre was of- ficially declared by the student body assembled, January 22, for reason of both concerns allegedly provoking the stringent local ordinances against students. “The town against the gown” was the student battle cry. 1915 “Games wtih the University of Indiana at Indianapolis and with 'Cornell University, have been defin- itely arranged,” the Ring-tum Phi of January 15, carried. The Gen- erals evidently expect to carry‘ on their victorious football march with still greater foes, as they were suc- cessful in emerging from the 1914 season undefeated and untied. 1923 “All boys who want to have their girl’s picture go in for the Ziegfeld Beauty Contest, must have pictures turned in by January 16, 6 p. m.” ran the January 14 issue. “Mr. Florenz Ziegfeld has consented to pick the prettiest girl who attended the Washington and Lee dances. Mr. Ziegfeld will also pick a dozen or more other pictures, all of which will go in the 1923 Calyx.” 1926 Mrs. Mildred Lee Francis, niece of General Lee, arrived in Lexington last week to take charge of the Lee Chapel, as custodian. Mrs. Francis lived in Lexington long ago and stated that she was glad to get back once more to the place so dear to her. _.j._o_?_ Finals Drive Ends Monday in Success Success has rewarded the Finals Finance drive which has been con- ducted for the past few days. Al- though only less than half of the Student Body has signed up,vR. F. Howe, president of Finals, feels that a good start has been made to a glorious Finals. After exams, a personal campaign to see everyone will be made. The preliminary drive is over now and all who have not signed are request- ed to remember that their subscrip- tions to a worthy cause would be appreciated. Regarding post-dated checks, Howe has asked all men to remember when their checks fall due and try to meet the obligations then. A notice will be sent to everyone who post- dated a check before the check is deposited. A little care in this re- spect will mean a lot, Howe said. The date for Finals has not been definitely set and it may be possible THE ‘RING-TUM PHI _ ‘L J7 i.. PAGE THREE Students iCustis Lee Takes Take Advantage of S Questionable Cuts Some of the students of Washing- ton and Lee were not deterred from overcutting the new cut system on account of the recent Christmas holidays, according to a report issued by Mr. Mattingly recently. Shortly before the Christmas holi- days the students found a loop hole in the new cut system due to the fact that provided a student had not taken over one cut prior to the holi- days, those cuts he should take over the limit of three would count double only in regard to the limit necessary to place a student before the faculty Executive Committee. Many students took advantage of this opportunity and left some time before the holidays officially started. Some of these students either through failure to understand the new system, or purposely, took more, than the permitted amount of cuts.§ However the report from the Reg-‘ istrar’s oifice showed that only A small percentage had Overcut suffi- ciently to place them before the faculty Executive Committee. This number was approximately twenty- five, about ten of these did not return after the holidays. Only two of the cases now in school have been acted upon by the Executive Committe, and these will be decided upon on their own merits. PATRONIZE THE STUDENTS’ I-n New Members Due to the conflicting basketball schedule, the Custis Lee Civil En-. gineering society held its regular meeting on Thursday night instead of Friday as was announced. After the business meeting and’ initiations, a lantern-slide lecture on: the “Construction of the Delaware} River Bridge” was given by J. G.i Newman assisted by Messrs. Gofl’ and Levy. Refreshments were serv- ed during intermission. The following men were initiated into the Society: J. M. Shackelford, E. W. Goff, R. E. MacDonald, M. P. Levy, W. Wurzburger.
