son.. All of whom were students under
Capt Taliaferro, before they entered col
iege:c
Mr. T. II. Thomson delivered the ad
dress to the students
He humorously alluded to the number
OF times he had heard Capt. Taliaferro
call the boys attention to the algebraic
formula, that the square of the sum of
two quantities is equal to the square Of
the first plus twice the product of the
nrst by the second plus the square of the
second. He we'll remembered that some
mornings the principal would exclaim,
shades of the mighty Boys you have
the devil in you this morning as big as a
calf. Changing hi94nanner, the young
speaker became enthused with
the subject of higher education
ana IN an earnest manner he appealed to
the boys not to ceaee their efforts to OBJ
tain higher education, although they
might never enter a school room again.
Advice and counsel from one so youthful
in APPEARANCE and fresh from the walks
of college life caused the boys to be in a
more serious and reflective mood, when
they left the school room than they were
ever known to exhibit before.
Capt. Taliaferro will leave Saturday for
his summer home at Rapidan, Va, with a
party of boys to spend the summer.
