Local Association OF Alumni of Uni
Versity of Va.

The old society of the alumni of
the University of Virginia, formed in
1888 and chartered in 1878, being
based purely on the idea of individ'
ual membership, did not prove sue
cess, and the Society of Alumni at Its
meetings in 1899, 1900, 1901, and 1902
took steps to convert it into General
Alumni Association, to be made up
of individual members and local
alumni associations, and this was
finally consummated in June, 19OS,by
the adoption of constitution and
the election of Judge j. h. SeneI, OF
Washington, d. c., as its first presi'
dent.
Both by words and deeds Judge
Sener has shown himself a most earn
est worker and loyal alumnus OF the
University. He believes that the in
terests of the University can be best
furthered by the banding together OF
University of Virginia men wherever
found in sufficient numbers into locai
alumni associations. He therefore
appeals to the varsity men Of Acco
mack and Northampton counties to
effect such an organization.
Allpersons who have been students
whether graduates or not, of the
University may be members. There
are at least thirty or forty i. Va
men on the Shore and we owe II to
our Alma Mater to do all in our
power "to promote the welfare anc
progress of the University of Virgin
ia, to ensure the prosperity of the As
ISOLATION and good fellowship among
it, members, and to form an organ
ized nucleus for work in this com
munity.n
Besides these objects, each local
association having twenty active
members. shall be entitled annually
to have one appointee at the Univer
sitv, the incumbent of this Alumni
Scholarship being exempt from all
University fees. If we shall have
fifty active members, we shall be en-
titled to fill two such scholarships
annually. There are, no doubt, some
BOYS on the Shore ready to go of to
school and yet cannot see their way
clear because Of lack of means. Our
association could DO good work, il
in 70 other way, by helping such 10
get the benefit of the best possible
training without any school fees.
Let every alumnus of the Univer-
sity think this matter over seriously,
and let US get together at some con
venient place in the near future and
form an association. Let US hear
from the alumni of the Shore.

The esteemed Norfolk County
Democrat. commenting upon an ar
ticle in q late issue of this er,sub
mits its views in the matter OF break
Ing the Baylor survey in the follow
ing:
"Well. the Baylor survey Is NO
sacrOsanct. II has been demonstrated
time and again that many thousands
of acres of natural rock within L
suitable for planting purposes has
been rendered barren by oyster ron
GERS and dredgers and will remain
barren until thrown open and leased
to planters. If there is any valid rea.
son why this should not be done W.
have never seen it advanced.
Consequently We confidently eX-
pect to see the commission report IL
favor of breaking the BAYLOR survey
That is in fact, what it was appoint
ed for-to find where and 70 what eX-
tent the Baylor survey should he
broken in order that barren rocks
should be thrown open 10 planters
while the productive natural rocks
may be kept for the tOngers.
That the Baylor survey will be
broken, in the opinion Of our con
temporary, 1t will be noted, is fore
gone conclusion. The commission it
the Democrat is correct in its views
twas appointed for that purpose,
could have arrived at a conclusion in
the matter before leaving Richmond
and should not have burdened the
State with the expense Of the cruise
recently made in Virginia waters. IL
other words, those who do not favor
the breaking of the survey are up
against a packed jury and need
hardly expect more than respects
full hearing at the hands of the mem
bers of the commission.
The Democrat may be right, in
that the members of the commission
had made up their minds before the
late outing was begun and which
later ones cannot change, but it is
fair to presume that they will seek in
some way to justify the decision at
which they will arrive before their
report is made to the Legislature
and there can be but one as the
Democrat suggests, viz: That thOus-
ands of acres of natural rocks within
the Baylor survey suitable for plant
ing purposes had been rendered bar
rem by oyster topgers and dredgers,
will remain barren and should be
thrown open and leased to planters.
A decision on such grounds might
be satisfactory to them because in
accord with their wishes, but in the
light of the fact, as we are advised,
that most natural oyster beds, how
ever barren they may be to-day, rap
idly recuperate if given a rest, the
query is suggested, how can they
discriminate with their limited ex-
perience in the oyster industry as to
which are productive and the con
trary? Hundreds of acres of natural
oyster beds, by reason OF the Baylor
survey, now belong to and enrich in
dividuals to the detriment Of the
public generally and shall a still
greater wrong be done in giving
away more Of the natural rocks be
cause in their opinion they have be
come depleted?n
A sufficient answer to the above is,
if further encroachments upon the
oyster beds are permitted, the tine
is not far distant when, upon the
fiimsy pretense Of being depleted, the
conclusion will be reached that all Of
them are barren" and should be
rented.

The appeal made, in another col

Association of the Alumni Of the Uni
veIsity of Virginia in Accomac and

tender chord, we are sure, in the
hearts of the old students of that in

them willing TO organize in the in
terest of their Alma Mater. To that
end, their attention having been call

umLs of the Enterprise are open to

The Virginia Republicans, says the
Washington Times, are beginning to
show some signs Of life and promise
to conduct an active campaign this
fall. The President, it is stated, is to
a certain extent responsible for the
new life which has been Infused INTO
them, having notified them that if
they desire to obtain any reward for
loyalty to the party they must be up
and doing. he does not expect them
to win, but believes there is room for
good Republican missionary work in
the State and wants them to make as
good showing as possible.
