VIRGINIA

YOU ask me to tell you the kind of man the Uni
l. versty of Virginia is trying to make. The
ideal of what ought to be has differed with
the ages, conforming itself to the ideal of what each
age fancied it most needed; and yet all ages have
endowed true manhood with at least four qualities
truthfulness, courage, sympathy, and purpose
Though man have all the learning of the schools
and all the social graces, if he have not these quail
tiles he is something less than man And, if he
have these qualities though he walk unlettered in
the valleys of life, he bears upon him the stamp of
and gentleman.
First of all, therefore, the University of Virginia
is trying to produce truthful, courageous purpose
full, and sympathetic man. Upon these qualities
upon the fruitful basis of ali proper growth the uni
versity is seeking to evoke open mindedness eff
fciency, and social responsibility. The sort of man.
then that informs dreaming and nourishes
hopes is the truthful courageous, purposeful, SYM
pathetic, open minded, efficient man who does not
fear to bear burdens. You shall not be able to
deceive or brighten him, because his brain holds
knowledge and his hands have cunning. You shall
not be able to cajoe bride him. because he holds
honor dearer than life and loyalty finer than gold.
He will be satisfied with the whole truth, and not
the half truth the sectarian truth the sectional
truth He will not permit himself to shrvel and

at home in frock coat and gloves, or in the con-
ventional dress suit, when these styles of garb
are in place. but he is equally at home in overalls
where he has to face the elemental problems of
dealing with the forces of nature in the presence of
oil or dust mud. Education should make
at home anywhere where his duty takes him. The
college should be trained along the lines that
will give to him the greatest abundance of life
and the greatest individual and social efficiency.
For these reasons the freedom of divergence char
acteristc of the American university is perhaps its
most important distinctive feature. AS two
quite alike in natural powers and resources
no two should require exactly the same course
of studies for the best final result. The university
in America is not who has escaped the
necessity of work by rising to place in cultured
leisure class. He is who is trained to do his
part in the work of the world to the best possible
advantage. David Starr Jordan.

half way, his leg became caught in the ti1nbers,
and he had not strength enough to drag himself
free.
Immediately two of the rescuing party were
out of the boat, not waiting to tie lines to
the wreckage to extricate him. One caught him
by the collar as he going under and, drag
ging him the along spar twenty feet
long, brought him also to the boat. There was
little time lose in getting back for the fra craft
had been filling and the two extra passengers
brought the water in still faster. Ten yards from
shore the boat went down; but score of willing
hands grabbed its occupants and hurried them
to place of shelter and warmth.

TT all had happened so suddenly that
when John Hourigan the mate and Ed
- ward J. IgOe able seaman, sole survivors
of the crew of the schooner w. b. Phelps,
found themselves clnging to the fragment
of rail and pressed knee to knee on the
three square feet of ice coated planklng,
which was all that remained of the forward
part of the deck, it was several minutes
before either could find speech. If they
had escaped the sudden death of their
comrades, it could only be because an
other and more awful fate desired to mock
them in the last moments.
The vessel had been almost in sight of
the safe harbor at Glen Arbor, Michigan,
on the afternoon of November 70, 1870,
when a tremendous northwest gale blew
up, followed by binding snow storm,
and the Phelps was driven on the rocks
near shore stern foremost, about mile
from Glen Arbor dock. With such force
did she strike that in a couple of minutes
her stern had sunk, and amidshipS was
nothing but a tangled mass of spars, rig
ging, sails, and deck planking, over which
the big waves pounded angrily. The Cap
tain and four members of his crew were
Immediately swept into the sea- but
Hourigan and Igoe, who had been well
forward when the shock came, found them
selves raised aloft on the small section of
the bow, with barely space enough to re-
tain a footing.
This was at seven o'clock in the evening
The snow was still falling heavily, and the
gale was driving the icy spray over the
two survivors. At last Igoe spoke.
Where are the others?" he shouted.
Hourigan's lips moved, and quickly he
blessed himself.
Igoe nodded Understandings and again
there was silence-a silence that lasted for
hours.
1t was the seaman who broke it again.
"John,' he yelled, Il can't hold on! NJ

another groan burst from Hourigan as
he saw the line cut and the boat driven
back to shore stern foremost. The boat
reached the shore, and now hope fed,
tor the TWO unfortunates saw its occu-
pants fastening inland. Chilled to the
marrow and coated with ice from head to
foot, the boat crew fastened to their homes
to don dry clothes with which to continue
the fight. Already, however, they had de-
termined upon plan of action In some
way or other the boat must be wedged
into the mass of wreckage, and the cross
ing made on foot if necessary, but the
mate and the sailor must be rescued.
By the time the third attempt was be-
gun the seas were bigger than ever, and
despite the advantage of the current it
seemed doubtful if the old 1eaky boat
would ever reach the wreck Hourigan
began to shout encouragement.
God bless you, boys! Pull hard!" he
yelled.
And pull hard they did, until the boat
was tightly wedged about sixty feet from
the piece of the bows to which the two ice
covered figures still chung. A rope was
thrown and caught by Hourigan.
Now, Ned! said the mate, and started
to put the cord around Igoe's waist.
Il can't; I'm afraid You 60 first"
answered the seaman.

under his armpits, then began his Journey
over the mass of tossing and threatening
debris. More than once he was COM
PEELED to stop and hang on until big
wave had gone over him; but at last he
reached the side of the boat and was
dragged aboard. Once more the rope
was thrown, and, overcoming his fright,
Igoe prepared to follow. He made a
good start; but it was evident that the

We're on the Verge of Flying.

In a single day, recently, dis patches announcing successful flights of war balloons in London, Paris, Berlin and at one of our own American experiment sta tions, appeared in the evening papers. Within that twenty-four hours preceding, military men of the four great powers, Eng land, France. Germany and the United States, had demonstrated the efficiency of types of flying apparatus intended for use in campaigning against hostile ar mics. In doing se,they demons trated, by their simultaneous ar rival at the goal of their aim, one other tremendously important thing -that we are on the verge of solving, at least, the problem of aerial flight.
 The fact that typesef success ful machines vary greatly and differ in innumerable points in dicates only wider knowledge of the principles involved and not hopeless state of uncertainty, as the casual observer might conclude. And the record of many failures which the past year has seen is simply record of the elimination by experiment of some. of the troublesome fac. tors in the situation. Whether, in the end. we shall most of us fly by means of the lighter than air apparatus, eventually depend ing on gas for support, or by the heavier than air, emulating na- ture's other flying creatures. is yet matter to be decided by further elimination. But the fact that, as a race, we shall fly, and that soon, is quite beyond doubt. Technical World Maea zine.
