Or. NJ. Schele de Vere's Spanish class
at the University of Virginia) presented
him at Christmas with a superb writing
stand of bronze 1t is Of very superior
workmanship, and includes beautiful
chiseIed dagger, on which Thermometer
is cunningly fastened. Evidently rare
good judgment in artistic matters led the
young gentlemen TO choose such work
of art.
A more appropriate testimonial Of es-
TEEN could not have been selected in this
case DR.. Schele de Vere's pen is indeed
mighty and is welded with the strength
of ten, because 1t Is always in the service
Of some good cause. For elegance and
correctness his style is unapproached, and
his versatility is unmatched. He is not
merely a writer with a speciality, but
writer at home with any literary subject
or scientific theme. Such a workman is
worthy Of the best tools, and certainly
this handsome writing table is one Of the
best.
1t is not probable that the donors fully
realize how highly Dr.. Schele appreciates
their kindness, their cordial thoughtful
ness and their admirable taste. And their
distinguished professor is not alone in
his gratefulness. for very many Of his
admirers win note the graceful act with
sincere pleasure.
