L
Much Information that was aoth
valuable and interesting was impSAed
last night at Richmond College
through the medium of a fine lecture
on the life OF Jefferson Davis. which
was delivered by Professor william T.
Dodd. The discourse. the second OF a
series on The South on the Eve OF
the Civil War;" was heard by a large
and cultured audience, which showed
' every sign of appreciation.
Before Professor Dodd began hisi
lecture, President Boatwright stated
that the department of history at Rich
mond College is in a hourishing con-
dition, and that il is able TO do par<
ttcularly good work on account of the
wealth of material here-the private
and public libraries and the uncollect-
ed papers. DR.. Boatwright said Il
was proposed TO spend $1,000 In the
next three years in publishing histor-
ical matter.
According to Professor Dodd, Jeffer-
son Davis was born not far from
Abraham Lincoln, and his parentage
was not much better. His father was
almost a "ne'er do we'll" but he was
upright Both the Lincolns and the
Davises went to find free land, the one
family TO Mississippi and the other
northward. Had they gone in the re-
verse directions no doubt their later
feelings would also have been differ
ent.
Davis was educated at West Point.
but was not brilliant, being thirty
third in class of forty. Following
his graduation he went to Wisconsin
to run a sawmill. and there lest his,
health. He was handsome. over six
feet tall, slender. delicate in feature,
attractive, lOvable. Becoming infected
with the feeling of the lower South
for making money from cotton, he
became an anneXationist and extrem-
list. In the Mexican War he won
great fame. People went crazy over
him. In 1851 he made secession the
issue of his life. but failed to carry
his State. Later Pierce made him
Secretary of War, and he made an
honorable record both to himself and
his country.
Professor DOdd declared that Davis
was captured against Lincoln's or
ders. for Lincoln wanted him to get
out of the country lest the Northern
people kill him in their passion. He
was kept i'm prison for two years. It
was this imprisonment which caused.
the Southern people to warm to him
as they had not done for all of his SER
vices. He was regarded as scape-
goat both by North and South. After
the death of Jackson and Lee he be-
gan to be praised. In another century
he will be regarded as on n par with
Lee. the foremost product of our civil
lization.
