LEAGUE STILL
EQUALLY SPLIT
Tic Has Not Been Broken De?
spite Many Rumors and
Counter-Rumors.
Hopeless Is the only way to char?
acterize the present state of aftr.lra In
the Virginia League?that is. hope?
less In the sense that nn election ol
a president l>y a majority Is just as
far removed as it ever wa?.
Merely to keep the records straight
: tid to have something to refer to nf
trr history la made, these f.-uts are
here and now recorded: Whet-, the
meeting is called In Lynehburg, or.
Friday at ? o'clock, there will he
present a representative fro-n each of
Hi. sIn clubs forming the Virginia!
League. Three of those club*?Lynch
burg, Richmond ami Danville?will be!
loaded to the sunwalf.? with car.di-j
dates for the cilice. A candldal* will j
he named from each of the cities bp
posing Williams, and It is not at all
unlikely that one or two of thesej
oltjes will have more tit am one can-i
ilkiate.
Danville comes forward with tri<d
statement thut 11 reputable business |
man will be put forward. Norfolk
says that l".tii Billy tiannan and Ham?
mond Johnston are receptive can?
didates! Billy Hammond, by all the
laws of organised baseball. Is outlaw?
ed, for the icnson that ho headed the|
defunct Tidewater League, but he willi
hi um ol the candidates. Locally;
there will he Robert B. Allport, j
Lynchburg has her chosen one. and so
r, will go. Bound up Into or.." State?
ment it means that these three clubs
win support anybody but Williams.
?>:., the other side Pettrsburg. Nor
foik and llo.inokc will support nobody
but Williams. Interviews to th? con?
trary notwithstanding. Norfolk will
be found in the Williams camp when
the voles arc counted. Petoisburc
-.ill not chaitKc front and neither will
Moanohe. These three clubs will enter
the meeting and will declare that the
meeting held In Petersburg wae pcr
lectly regular and that olllcers hove
already been elected. Not one of these
clubs will recede from Ihnt posH'or..
? t. Carson will be on hand, and not
even Dr. ('arson will have the temerity
to say that a majority can be secured
under such circumstances. This In
brief i? what Is going to happen at
Lynchburg "ti Friday. January 26, n
Pertinent Comment
By Gus Malbert
If it be true?If?that Dr. McCrary.
owner or th?: Norfolk club in the Vir?
ginia: League, ia going to nominate
Hammond Johnston for president of
lhe league, and If?if?it be true that
the rest of the teams In the anll
\\ Illinois section will support the r.c-.v
candidate, then the clouds are be?
ginning to break ana Hi* Virginia
League may survive the storm which
lias threatened its existence.
-But Dr. McCrary- nays that h* is
going to support \yiiiiatus. it there I
a possibility of h.s election. Almost i
dny construction can be placed on that I
statement There 1* always a chancel
<>r the election of any candidate for'
olflce to long aa he :s not defeated.I
To be defeated a majority must be
!? gainst him. If Dr. McCrary is going
to hold out for Wllllajoji until n ma?
jority for the other fellow Is secured!
the end is now just as distant us lt|
over WSS. We shall set what we shall
^owenow or other the men who huVe
i ontended all clor." that trj<- member
?.f the National Board In attendance

gument nnd tire now content to look
'ipon him merely as a mediator soni
one sent to see that the meeting does
not develop Into a "rtng tight. Dr.
? 'arson, by the. way. it u mights goo!
friend of J. H. Parrel), secretary of tin
National Board. It Is very probable
that tue doctor knows all about -.'.-k.it
lias been Koing on in Virginia; that Is.
us much of what has been polng on
as J. H. Kartell knows. Though the
blind will not see, the keystone of the
utiuntlon is Petersburg. If Petersburg

CANNOT AGREE UPON
MAN FOR PRESIDENT
So Conference Between W. B. Bradley and Dr.
J. R. Mc rary Comes to Naught?Hammond
Johnson Positively Refuses to Accent
Offict?bufegests . limination of
Western Clubs.
Norfolk. Va. January 23.?W. B,
Bradley, pro?Went of the Richmond
Baseball C|ul>. Is In Norfolk to-ntgiit
trying- to agree with Dr. .1. It, McCrurj
president of tho Norfolk club, upon a
candidate for president of the Virginia
League who can harmonise the oppos?
ing factions. Both agreed to support
Hammond Johnson, of this city, but .'ir
lohnsott said- under :to circumstances
would lie accept the honor.
Since Mr. Johnson will not accept, tor,
MoCrary Is inclined to stand by Pres?
ident Williams, and the conference w 11.
probably not result In any agreement
between the Richmond and Norfolk
presidents. A leaguo with the thrti
up-State clubs eliminated wa.< proposed
to-day by Hammond Johnson.
"1 rm r.ot a candidate for the pres?
idency of the Virginia. League, and will
sot sre.-pt It if elected." said Mr. .lohti
9on. "1 am too busy making a living
to give any attention tp the question."
Mr. .lohr.son said that to proporly
conduct the league it would reqtilr?
the greater part o: n man's time, a.nd
that be didn't cure to shoulder the job.
I He also declared that 110 matter how
' lie conducted it there would be kick
I ort, knockers and newspaper notoriety. I
' lie is a verso to the latter.
In discussing his declination he went
further and declared then; was bui
one salvation for the Virginia League,
and satisfied that this eoultj not be
brought llbout, he would not consent i
I to h> .?<i a losing proposition.
Ill* idea is that the league as cpn
: Stltutcd at present cannot he made a
' financial nuecoss. Mr. dorms >n bellevet
that Danville, Roanoke and Lyncbburg
should be eliminated, and Portsmouth,
Newport News and Suffolk substituiert
He is satisfied that such a circuit woulfl
1 be self-sustaining and popular. With
, the up-State towns In the league, he Is
j unable to sec anything but a lo.-ing
, proposition, with the possible CNCOplion
of Richmond.
' With such a circuit organised, Mr.
j Johnson might agree to accept the
presidency.

GRAVES VIOLENTLY
OPPOSES MEASURE
Law Professor at University Writes Letter
Against Establishment of Woman's College
at Lea?iag Virginia Institution.
Presents riis Views.
In u letter sent yesterday to Up pit
Huiilon, Jr., chairman of the commit
too appointed by Richmond chapter, ,
University ot Virginia Alunuil, to op-1
potie tlie ISarly-ltison l>ill tor the es-1
tuuliehmont ot a woman's college at
the university. Professor Charles A. I
Grave?, of tin- university's law de- I
partition!, takes u decided stand against
tin- measure, which, In Ins oplmon, is >
fruugiu ?.in danger to the Institution.!
Professor Qraves's letter follows:
University ot Virginia,
Law Department,
January ill 131C.
lion isppu lluiiton, Richmond, Va.:
My Doar .--Ir. i am niad to sue tin*,
opposition hi the Richmond alumni of
lliu University it Virginia to lho|
r'ariy-Klson bill, a measure, in in
uptnlon, fraught with danger to tho{
Institution, if you will pardon mo. 11
shall take tho liberty to aiatc a row
facts and to give, brlolly my view on
tho proposition n?w before the Legis?
lature.
i'irm?Ah to ihn attitude of the
facility of the university: it cannot I
be correctly stated that a. majority j
ii tho faculty favored the strode Mil, i
01 that they favor the present hill.1
It Is true that some time ago the-j
matter was brought before this faculty
by Dr. Alderman und certain r-i-oi . ?
Lions prepared by him were adopted,
with only live dissenting votosj but
these resolutions differed materially
Crom the Strode bill and from tho
present hill. The faculty, after full
discussion, voted to conllno coeduca?
tion (In the sense of mon and women
uelng taught in the same classes and
same room, by tho same toucher, at
the same time) to the graduate de?
partments, excluding '!0t only the
undergraduate department, but nlsu
the professional .-sellouts of law, modi- j
idhc. engineering and ngrlculturo. '
Further, a decided preference to coll
tlue coeducation In the graduate de?
partment t" iioctor of philosophy iex
.ludWig master ot urtsl was diBcubsuu;
but my recollection Ik that this did
not come to an actual vote, it being
suggested that it should be left for |
future consideration.
lllll Permits Coeducation
Second- -The present hill certain!)
permits coeducation (in the senaol
i.boee) in the profe1 islonal depart?
ments, it is only forbidden "In the]
undergraduate courses in the unlver-|
sity"; nut allowed only In the graaii
iite tourstt Now whether law, oto.
sail ho called strictly graduate roursca
ur not. they are certainly not under?
graduate courses; and HO coeducation
In them is not forbidden. This seems
loo plain for argument; but 1 navi
leard It claimed that the bill does uoi
allow coeducation In the professional
s.c!iools. Certainly if this is the in?
tention, it should be made plain by
amendment.
Third?With the exception of five
men. the University of Virginia fac?
ulty are opposed to coeducation In
the full sense of the word as It exl'its j

tion In this sense, as he has repeatedly |
Sectored to the faculty, to the body
at* students assembled at thu Unlver
lity Hour und, 1 think, to tha com?
mittees of the Legislature. Indeed,
Ids iKisItlon Is fixed and decided, based
not merely on the "genius of the uni?
versity" and "the modes of thought"
prevailing here, but on broad grounds,
"physiological." "psy chologlcal," etc.,
stc, as he declared to the Student body

know that the groat mnjorlty of the

Imagine It Is not coeducation, and will [
trot merge Into It as the years go by.
If now you arc convinced that thel
hill Is largely coeducation as It stands I
(with nearly nil of the evils), and that
It Is but an entering wedge (as I
surely believe) to complete coeduca?
tion, the next Legislature ha.? only
strike out three or four lines of thel
present bill If It be enacted Into law;
then the opposition can claim that If
thoy realized the true meaning of this
bill nnd Its Inevitable tendency, thej
whole faculty (save flvo). with Dr.
Alderman at their head, would be as I
much opposed to the meusuro as are |

or the Confederacy. I think this prop-!
osltlon should unlugonUc ihe "co-ordi?
nate college" plan. Of course, ut pres?
ent the .State has not tho money for
cither. Uut Dr. Aldorman has calcu?
lated that the locution here will only
savo L'S cents In tho dollar, and. tho
tstulo would better wait until It etui
afford tho difference for a separate
school, which would help the women
without harming the university. I
Fifth. That tho co-ordlnato collegeI
would harm the university 1 think can [
l>e demonstrated. This university wan i
established uu u men's school, and the
situation Is very different from thut
where, us at tho University of Toxaa,
.1 school lit Coeducational lrom tho
start. Dr. Alderman has recognized in
this respect tho "genius loci'' und "th??
modes of thought" here. I believe thut
girls in uvldenco everywhere would ai-i
ways be resented by our students. i
Aliimul Oiipen'c Agitation.
Again, i believe the ?real majority
of our alumni ore opposed to th'i pres?
ent agltutlon, whether called oondiioa
llon or co-ordination. Tblc change
will chill their ardor, nnd no Institu?
tion can afford to alienate the alumni.
Besides, It win nover be possiblo, even
though a substantial difference does
e.\lBt. to persuade tho general public,
with a catalogue containing the nujncs
of 'Mao," "Mnyme." "Kitty." etc. that
the Institution is not coeducational in
the ordinary nonse with which they
are familiar. This will do us harm, Vi?
tt 1? certain now that thevo Is a reac?
tion against coeducation and a demand
lor a ochool of high university grade
lor mon only. About half of our 'in?
dents arc from other .States, many of
ihoni from the West. Who can tell
how many of them arc attracted by the:
v< ry lact thnt there Is ono place where
they heod not mingle with women as
coeds? Morn seriously, perhaps, tho
university will suffer from the appro?
priation by tho women of a teaching
force, part of thoin at least, for part
of their time. What Is thus tukeu fori
the women will be taken from tho men, I
who have not been suppuuud to receiveI
too much instruction. Nor have tho|
professors been suposed to have Idle I
lime on their hands to bestow for com?
pensation on other schools, co-ordinate |
or otherwise. One can readiiy see thci
lure Of this extra pay. with low salaries I
and the high cost of living. No mutt
can serve two musters, nor one master
and a mistress, where the latter has a I
tiuparate establishment and tho njacterj
needs all tho servant's time, ami yot ,
.-says confidently that out pro
lessors can touch tho women also, and
ought to do BO, because such high grade? |
teachers cannot be found elsewhere!
Again, co-ordtnalloit means res an-I
gustu doinl for the university. Waiving I
the question of tho .State's appropriation,
now about private endowment'/ Here.
again, - mu.>k our visitors must
o-.-tlr themeolvcs and beg the money:
50 the next million Dr. A. gets will hs
lor tho oo-ordlnatos. The- university
needs all the- money it can got. Why
not lot the prcHldc-nt of a separate
?-omon'a college and lu visitors do
their own begging?
Seventh. And now, in conclusion. Just
a word ?s to the university belatedly
railing Into line and doing what has
alroady been done almoat everywhere
else.
(li if this argument has force (and
it suggests an. Inquiry whorTaer the.
university's success and prestige were
necause of her unique features or la?
in spite of them). It dermanJo coedu?
cation In the full sense, for thut is
whit has been done for women gen?
erally where their "claims" have been
recognized.
Schools Highly Kndovtcd.
12) Uut it Is said that co-ordinated
? ollegea exist and are succea<ful at
other places?Tu banc (Sophie New
comb), Harvard (Radcllffe), Columbia
(Uarnard), To 'his there arc two an?
swers: (a) Those schools are all highly
endowed by private munificence and
connected with privat? corporations,
and am not dependant on State appro?
priations; (h) they are. connected with
lnstltutlonn In large eitles where the
comparatively smull number of women
exerts llttlo Influence on the character
of the Institution. Here In our "aca?
demic village" all thlu would be- dif?
ferent, und the presence of the women
everywhere (save with tho men In the
Mime lecture room In undorgraduuto
Courses) could not but profoundly In?
fluence C.-H, university life. That life
would become epicene, to the Injury, In
my judgment, of both Hexes. No .Stata
has ever catabllnhed two universities
side by side, one for men and the other
lor women, supported by State appro?
priations. Coeducation Is more eco?
nomical, and If we arc to go as far an
the Baiiy-Rlson bill provider, I think
wc would better go the whole length
and frankly coeducate. The boys and
girls are- together on the lawn, under
the arcades, with tho same Loacher?
In many classes, and In others they can
elbow njid Jostle ono nnoth.ir us they
movo to locturo rooms on opposite
sides of a hall at the same hour, or us
tho men come out of a lecture room
the glrlg can go In. and vice versa.
With so much coeducation, who can
doubt that there will soon be more?
As the financial side: presses, tho uni
verelty will be expected more und
more to tako over the annex, arid a
?hange in the law c&n provide at any
tlmo for fullor coeducation. Jin must
la; a rash man who. not believing in
coeducation, is yet willing to ink- I
such risks. Perhaps the women hope |
for It as a consummation devoutly to
be wished. - says that tho
