President R. H. Crossfield, OF
Pennsylvania University, Lexington,
has recently made trip through
what he very properly calls the
hill country of Southwestern Vir

writes very interestingly of that pic
turesque region and its peculiar
people, and part of his account of
his trip as published in the Lexing-
ton Herald is copied into the NEWS
