 WILLIAM AND MARY
By George Fitch


 William and Mary College is so small that it's student body could jam itself into a university lecture room. A crowd of Greek letter SO cieties in good form could out-yel the whole school and the tilird scrub football team of Harvard could make it's varsity eleven look like a plate of hash. It's college buildings could all be put in the drill hall of the University of Illinois, and Wisconsin University spends more on postage than this little school does for it's l twenty professors.
 However. William and Mary has ,, a few talking points of its cwn. They do not get into the sporting sections, but they are preserved in the en- cyclopedias and histories and ought to be better known, though they do not run up into the millions in any particular.
 William and Mary is the second | oldest college in the country. r. has the oldest college 'ouildfng in | tke United States. It has been put ! out of business by two wars. It hrs educated four presidents Jefferson, Monroe, Harrison and T fer. It had l the biggest college president the world has known-George Washing ton. It originated the elective and | honor systems and the Greek letter | societies. Thomas Jefferson helped run it once. John Marshall was an | alumnus. At one time both presi- dent and vice president of the United 1 States were it's former students. These few modest facts ought to enable the shrinking alumnus of William and Mary to lean up against
 the Yale man who roomed with 9 member of the crew and talk to him quite fearlessly.
 William and Mary is located at l Williamsburg, Va. Owing to the l untamed neighborhood it took 72 years to start it. but it finally be- gan business in 1693. It was closed during the Revolution and in the | Civil war it's whole student body with a few exceptions enlisted in the | Confederate army. After the war. | there was nothing left Of the school 1 but a campus, a foundation and an l imposing wad of history The school
 was unable to run on the history and closed in 1882, but six years | later Virginia came to it's rescue. It now has 250 students. gets $25,00O a year from the state, and is as young and vigorous as if had not

I'd like to catch a tiny cloud And whisper to it, not too loud,
 A little song
 To wait along,

 And dale and hill The little song I fain would sing, To Love, who's gone vacationing. I'd like to snare a pretty bird And teach it just one single word,
 Then set it free
 To bear for me.
 In speedy flight,
 Through all the night, And thus it dawn the message bring, To Love. where she's VacatiOning. I'd like to coax a gentle breeze Tc breathe message through the trees

 cery; the Citizens State Bank; the
 Five Points Drug Store; the Grand
 Avenue Market; Henderson Bros.
 Grocery; the Log Cabin Bakery; the
 Missouri Store; the Five Points
 Hardware Company, and the T. C.
 Hanscum Grocery. all tenants, and
 J. H. Williams and F. J. Bennitt
 property owners, are live wires of
 Five Points who have not only es-
 tablishcG a precedent, but who have Iset the city of Phoenix and non progressive property owners life sized example by paying outright for the construction of seven concrete street crossings in the business dis trict.
 These tenants are good business men who know that they are throw .ng away no money by such move. They understand that their losses during one week of Five Points mud (and F. P. mud is some mud) would amount to much more than 1 their donations toward crossings. All business men understand IheSe
 things thoroughly.
 Yet, here we have it. What are you going to do about It? Who is the goat? NOT THE TENANT. He
 holds the right of SELF PROTEC- TION.
 Is it the fault of the city? Let us see.
 In order to construct crossings in Phoenix the city must act under the l improvement law of 1912, by de- ! claring a certain crossing district when a special tax is levied against the property owners in such district and covered by a ten year bond issue.
 | The cost of advertising, engineer i ing, inspection and the interest on the bonds would bring the cost ot the work perhaps one-third higher than the actual cost of constructing the crossing. It is therefore plain that the city, will construct very i few street crossings under the | p pesont law-inasmuch as an inn mense district would have to be outlined and the work done by wholesale in order to make any thing like a reasonable Dusiness-likc ! investment.
 TO an onlooker it would seem that the proper thing to do would he the very thing that the tenants Of Five Points have done-eet out and i.dig up the necdful and put in these street crossings YOURSELVES. Paving, parks, street lights, every
 thing, must take q back seat when it comes right down to what Phoe- rix most needs-STREET CROSS INGS.
