cla^s.read an original poem preparer1,
and read by him before the Rave..
Societv at the University of Vir
ginia upon the occasion of the Poe
memorial exercises. The poen.
was entitled. "Whose Heartstring
Are a Lute." The poem had at
tracted considerable attention anc
received much favorable comment
in Charlottesville, and the crowd wa^
expecting a treat. Nor were thev
disappointed. !':?. poem was of ar
unusually high order, and the oott
was loudly applauii

In last week's issue we spoke o:
the increased interest being dis
played bv the faculty in the athletic
question and of the benefits tba1,
might be expected from it. This
?ime we wish to comment briefly up?
on the work of the Committee or
ege Athletics, and to congratu?
late the members upon what the>
have accomplished. In the past
lew years. William and Mary ha?
made great strides in progress ir.
nearly every line. Increased appro?
priations have been secured, new
courses installed and all the ole
courses greatly added to and
strengthened. In fact, our college,
from a comparatively low place, has
been put in a foremost position
a-nong the educational institutions
of the state. All of these changes
were necessary, and have been great?
ly beneficial. The faculty are prouc
of their successes; the old alumn;
are proud of it, and the students are
p oud of it. There has been, how
eyer, during all these years of prog
ress, one phase in college affairs
that has been entirely neglected?
the promotion of close association
between professor and student
This important work remained for
the faculty of the present year to
carry out. and we say again that we
heartily congratulate the Committee
on College Activities upon what they
have accomplished.
Let us see. next, just what thev
have accomplished. They have es
tablished a system of monthly pub
lie lectures by members of the fae
ultv. This gives the student some- j
thing to look forward to through the j
whole month. He knows that some
thing of the prci outside
world is going to be brought in to
break in upon the monotony of text
book lectures, and accordingly )
interested, and duly grateful to the
faculty for this treat. The fe-'
of fellowship has also beer,
erably prompted by the establish- ]
rnent of the social part of atter
the lecture.
ext we have -? hour.
Once a month, now, students and
faculty meet together to
college affairs. In these meet
problems are brought up and
cussed freely, student and professor
having like priviliges has
done more than an yt* e to
promote the feeling of commoi
lowship.

a most pleasurable
ore. I know Mr. Catlett to be a
lawyer of unusual skill a verv hard
safe and conserv?
ative, a man of high ideals and
character, easily to approach, well
posted in the duties of the office
he now holds as assistant to Major
Wm. A. Anderson, thc present at?
torney general. He is fully capable
of conducting I without delay) all of
the big cases that now confront ?he
State of Virginia in case the attor?
ney central should be out of place.
He is for that rea* on alone the only
logical candidate for the office, as
he is so fan vases. If
they are not completed before the
present attorney general goes out of
office, he can carry them out with?
out delay and in a forceful, clear,
concise manner. I do not think any
one who votes for Mr. Catlett will
ever live to regret their vote. I ask
ali voters in tidewater to vote for
Bob Catlett.
Yours truly.
