Staunton Leader: The naming of
Judge Henry ". Holt as Circuit
Judge Of the district embracing
Augusta county will we believe
meet with general approval. The
only criticism we have had to make
of Judge Holt was on some of his
decisions affecting the liquor ques-
ton in which we thought be showed
bias against the dry interests, but
it is probably too much to hope that
Judge shall not be influenced more
or less by his own personal views;
and that is a great deal to say of a
man who has been so long on the
bench. has had so many matters to
adjudicate and so many eyes upon
his career. We believe Judge Holt
will give good account OF himself
in the position of Circuit Judge, and
that under MIN the business of the
court will be dispatched to the
satisfaction Of litigants.

An eloquent memorial sketch pub
lished in the Lexington Gazette OF
November 9th, 1864. gives a nara
tive of Capt. Watkins military
career To that article am greatly
indebted for many OF the facts here
narrated, and from it l now quote:

after it's organization, under the
command of Col. John b. Bald win,
was ordered to report to General
Ed. Johnston at Allegheny Mount

battle there in December, 1861.
From this time to the fatal 3Oth
of May, 1864, Captain Watkins was
always at mis- post in the faithful
and cheerful discharge of every
duty that devolved upon him, and
literally led his company, or regi-
ment in every skirmish and battle

heroism that elected the highest
admiration of his command, and the
warmest applause of his superior
officers. His fighting record, besides

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
FOR ADMISSION HIGH
Students at Washington & Lee Now
Number 626

At the end OF last week 626 STU
dent had been enrolled at Washing
ton and Lee University, of whom
200 are law students. 1t may be
not without interest to note that
this large enrolment has been Sc
cured notwithstanding the fact that
the standard OF admission has been
raised and the requirements for ad-
mission enfOrc to the letter.
AS set forth in the catalogue.
three classes OF students are admit
ted to the university. These class.
es are: Cd Students admitted to full
standing as candidates for a degree.
For thessfoufteen entrance units
are required. This represents the
equivalent OF graduation at a high
scnool. (2) Those admitted to par
tial standing as candidates for a de-
gree. For these, ten units are re-
quired on entrance, and the student
must make up the remaining four
units at least one year before gradu-
alton. After this session twelve
units will be required Of this class
of students. (3) Special students,
not candidates for degree. This
class embraces men of sufficient
maturity and ability to pursue the
particular courses they may wish
to study. No units or entrance ex-
aminationS are required of them,
but they are not admitted to courses
for which entrance examinations are
required unless they pass such ex-
aminations. Special students may
become candidates for a degree by
satisfying the regular requirements
for admission. The above require
ments apply to the law department.
as well as to all other departments
Of the University.
Credits are based on certificates
furnished by the preparatory
schools which the applicants for ad-
mission have attended. Blank forms
are sent by the president Of Wash
ingtOn and Lee to the school author
tiles to be filed up by them and re-
turned to the president. They are
not delivered by or to the applicant
himself, and it is possible that a
student who has been admitted NAV
not even know that his credits are
on file. A student may also be ad =
mitted on entrance examinations
certified by the president, but dur
ing the present year, very few, pro-
baby not over five, students have
been so admitted, practically all the
4 students being admitted upon Ger.
tiicates from other schools.
