To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir.--We are aware that, at this late
day. dissent from the decision of the
committee on acceptance of Miss Kin
ney's design for the Southern woman's
monument will not only appear ungra-
cious, but avail nothing. Yet. in JUS
tice TO the noble women of the sixties.
whose heroic virtues this monument is
intended to commemorate, we feel it
incumbent upon us to express our un-
qualified disapprobation of the design

part. of the grand ideal of Southern
womanhood Our Southern birth and
Southern traditions--counted by us as
most priceless heritage-give us this
right
An analysis Of the design will show
that everything about the figure Is
wholly opposed to characteristics of
The women of that time. Devotion to
duty amid the stormy days of war
condemns the idea of fitness In the
negligee costume affected, and, physi-
cally. the daughters of the South We're
built on graceful, harmonious lines
not on those of Amazonian severity.
Happily. there are yet among us a few
survivors of the women of '61-6b that
stand as types OF the mothers, sisters
and wives of the men who wore the
gray We challenge any one of them
to recognize anything of the delicately-
modest, loyal, earnest, deeply religious
woman of that day in the ponderous.
meretricious figure posing as the idea!
of Southern womanhood.
Certainly, If the monument stands as
representative of the dignified Chris
tian. Southern matron as she existed
in the Civil War period of our history.
II Is unpardonably, grossly incorrect;
conception. it could not be farther
from the mark
1t is an ungracious task to criticize
what is Intended as a memorial for all
time of the exalted virtues of the
Southern woman OF day now dead,
but 1t is because we prize that type
SO highly and object to the creation
of a false ideal foisted on the future
that we are impelled to take this step.
We cannot but feel deeply honored
by the intention of the veterans, but
1T Is the execution of the honor con-
ferred. in this monument to the women
of the Confederacy. which we deplore
and resent.

Sir,-In recent issue you suggest.
With reference to sons of Presidents.
that, after President Taylor's son.
there is not memorable name among
the sons of Presidents until we come
to Robert Lincoln and to General Fred
erck Grant" Have You not over
looked a Virginian, the son OF Presi-
dent Tyler? Is not the name of Lyon
Gardiner Tyler, president of William
and Mary College. worthy to be re-
membered when the sons of Presidents
are mentioned? For nearly twenty
five years he has rendered most val
liable service to his State and his Sec
ton. If he had done nothing else, his
restoration of the College of William
and Mary is an achievement OF which
any man might we'll be proud. AS the
restorer and as president of that in
stitutiou for many years he has been
directly and Indirectly a great inhu-
ence for good Besides, in some way
or another. he has found time to con-
duct one of the best quarterlies in this
country and to do u remarkable amount
of original work in the field of his
tory
The son of Lincoln and the SON of
Grant mentioned. by you, have given
no evidence of reason for being mem
orable except as the sons of their
fathers Can they be compared with
Lyon G. Tyler when men discuss val
liable services to the State?
