"Why was this naked and unromantic pile Of
stone selected for 30 romantic q purpose:" he
was asked.
1T Is Just this naked grandeur as you At
tingly call it, the rugged holiness Of this natural
monOlith. rising In solitary majesty above the
surrounding scenery that lends Itself to the
artistic ideals Of the scheme. Where can he
found a like colossal slab OF granite on which
one Of the nOblest stories Of history may be in
scribed In the most enduring form?
II propose to carve the grand characters OF
those days in colossal proportion, In high and
full relief. representing them In action. mounted
nnd on foot, moving across the face OF the noun
tain In two wings OF an army, following the
mountain contour, moving naturally to the east
This Cnn be done In sections, beginning with the
principal figures Of Lee, Jackson and Johnston
"The chief leaders OF the South would appear
on the shoulder Of the mountain. about 400 feet
above the forest below. at the western end, and
would In general appear to represent group
OF splendidly mounted horsemen, numbering
from fifty to seventy-fve. Moving easterly to
their right and coming over the mountain would
appear the main portion Of the army. the
cavalry, artillery and Infantry a. a second and
third part Of the design.
This line would not parallel. but would form
n complementary line making a very effective
composition, including the whole OF the precp
tOus face Of the mountain. This impressive plan
Of natural groups OF men and horses moving
forward with expectancy would revive nll that
was grnndest In those heroic days and give to
pOsterity n true record Of the deeds Of those
great Americans"
How far will the figures you propose to chise
be distinctly vsible?'

call off practice for the big game on
Saturday, when the college team is to
meet Washington and Lee at Nelson
Field, injuries have sent four of their
best men out Of the game for a time
at least, and Coach Sanford is sadly
disappointed, as he was hoping to
have the strongest possible team on
the field for the game, owing to the
fact that there will be SO many men,

the contest.
The anniversary celebration will be
