ternity existed between him and that man.
Mr. Page eloqueutly coupled the names OF
Washington and Lee. and congratulites
Aina Mater upon the loyalty OF her sons, TO
whom was due vast deal Of her success.
Professor White followed In q speech
which was an artistic mingling Of humor
and Classical allusions. He paid tribute
to the hospitality OF Richmond, which had
hauled him about so that his thoughts were
completely scattered. he said be tried to
work on the Socratic idea-tbat of compan-
ionship with rather than masiersbip OF the
student lie always took Washington
and Lee man to his heart. He had been
frequently asked how Washington and Lee
was getting along. IL had about ball the
average Of the attendance during the
lie OF General Robert L. Lee, which
attendance General Lee often said was
abnormal. But numbers did not make
strength. II 30, what becomes OF Thermo-
pvlai Socrates produced one Plato. and
Plato one Aristotle. Washington and Lee
might no, produce many PlatOs and Aristo-
Ties. but her alumni were in professors
chairs in many Of the leading institu-
tions Of the land. Some have two and
three in their faculties. He had noticed
the high stand taken by Washington and
Lee men in all walks OF life wherever be
had been. Professor White also referred
10 the sound financial condition OF the in
stitution.
Rev. DR.. Quarles, professor Of Moral
Philosophy and Bellies Lettres, spoke besutl-
fully Of Lexington and her society. and
paid glowing tribute TO Mrs, Margaret J..
Preston. He emphasized the fact that
thorough education could be best acquired
m those institutions that were rot over
grown and where companiOnship existed q
between the professor and the students.
He was Presbyterian ana a minister. He
bugged the blood stained history OF hts
Church 10 his heart. But be thanked God
that Washington and Lee University stood
on the broad basis OF our common Chris
tianity.
Rev. Clifford Gordon, who during his
college course was clerk Of the faculty and
was closely associated with General Robert
L. Lee. made an earnest appeal for support
Of Alma Mater and all the other south
ern colleges. lie SAID the fine enamel OF
the southern character could not be pre-
served II our southern colleges were a.
lowed TO 20 down. His illusions 10 Gene
rsl Lee and the influence be had eXerted
over students were very touching.
Messrs. W. {. Preston and j. Ran.
Tucker. Jr.. reported appropriate resolu-
tions upon the death OF General Lilley'
financial agent Of the institution. The
resolutions were unanimously adopted,
after which the meeting adjourned.
