colleges and members of the University
of Virginia alumni to honor the present

man, who responded in a serious vein
which sparkled with the true humor
that characterizes so many southern
speakers.
The address was an appeal to the
alumni in behalf of the alma mater,
which is now in the throes of an adj
vancement that must be met with the
aid of financial instrument.
The spirit of the southern youth,
which Dr. Alderman depicted as fine"
and resultant from the situations that
have arisen because of the stern reali-
ties brought about by the civil war,
was pictured III touching manner as
the doctor referred to the struggles and

Referring to the conditions as they
now prevail in the south. DIR. Alderman
said:
From the Rio Grande to the Po-
tomac we haven't a real university. At
the nresent time there are q score of
things that the southern boy cannot
get. don't object to his coming north
to a university. as I think it brings
about more of a unification. vet we
should have at least one or two great
universities in the south.

virginia is the place for such uni

versity of Virginia had developed
some things that all the money on
Gods earth couldn't buy. But we do
need power, and power must be sup
piled primarily by money. Money is
unethical; it has no appeal to the soul,
but we need it.
THE pre-eminence of the University
of Virginia is threatened. Each south

hope and ready for the opportunity of
