Thousands Of young men and young

This Valley of Virginia is orc OF the
most noteU educational centres IN
America. Il is here that is located
Stuart Hall, the oldest boarding school
in Virginia for girls. and also one OF
the oldest girls schools in the South.
In Is43 Stuart Hall was founded,
under the name Of the Virginia Re-
male Institute. During the years that
followed, the Rev. K. II. Phillips, he
principal built up for the school
wide reputation. In 1880 Mrs. J. l.. b.
Stuart, the widow Of Nirginia's famous
cavalry leader, and daughter OF Cen
eral Philip 81. George Cooke, OF the
old army. succeeded DR.. Phillips as
principal For nineteen years this
gifted woman guided the administra-
ton Of the school, and%hc brought her
early military ideas Of training INTO
the discipline Of the school. Begin
ming at the period when the South
was impoverished and had hardly
aroused itself to the necessity of
wider education Tor its daughters, she
carried the school safely and success
fully through a period of financial
strain, and year by year she added to
the number of its pupils.
In 1895 Mrs. Stuart retired, and me
present administration began. Miss VI.
p. Dugal, her successor, had served
with Mrs. Stuart for seventeen years,
during twelve years of which time she
was vice principal. This was certain
guarantee that The policies OF Mrs.
Stuart would be continued.
On July 10, 1907. "in grateful mem
org Of the great work done by Mrs.
Stuart" the name of the school was
changed from Virginia Female lnsti-
tute TO Stuart Hall in her honor. The
school is continued along the same eX-
cellent lines which were inaugurated
by her.
