of Professor Humphreys was impaired.
His discomforts were accentuated
by an attack of influenza in the early
part of Just year. A t finals in June
he was granted leave of absence from
the University for one year on account
of the condition of his health. He
went to the home of his son Ewing
Humphreys in Roanoke. A painful
illness followed in which his human
interest and cheerfulness never seemed to desert him. The final breakdown began Dec. 27, but hope was
not abandoned until three hours before his death when he lost conscious

Professor Humphrc~·s wns the senior member of the Faculty and one of
ita mo~t capable and popular tenchers. He was hom Ill Smyth county,
Ya.. October 14, 1~55. His f ather
was Dr. William Humphreys who
was a physician und his mother was
Miss Betsy McFarland, a daughter of
Dr. Frances McFarland who was f or
some time pastor of the Bethel church.
When Professor Humphreys was
seventeen years of age he entered the
services of Major J ed Hotchkiss of
Staunton, a mining and civil engineer
of some note. Major Hotchkiss' work
was at that time devoted to the development of the country known as
the Pocahontas coal region. And it
was there that young Humphreys
started his engineering career. He
entered Washington and Lee as a student in 1875 and spent three years
studying engineering, graduating in
1878 with a C. E. degree. He had the
p~onal instruction of General Custis
Lee, an able and accomplished civil
eng;neer between whom and Professor
Humphreys there existed afterwards
a most affectionate relation.
A year spent at McDonogh School
in Maryland a s an instructor under
Colonel William Allan was followed
by his entering the service of the national government as an engineer on
tlae improvemnt of the Missouri river,
his duties often calling him far up
into the mountains among the Indians.
He laid aside h is active work in 1886
to become an adjunct Professor of
Civil Engineering at Washington and
Lee, a department then headed by his
old friend, General Custis Lee. Three
years later he was made Professor
in full charge of that department and
held that position up until a year before his death.
His engineering skill was never confined to teaching. He took an active
interest in the community of Lexington and in the surrounding country.
A good many of the bridges that have
been built in Rockbri(ige county in
the last thirty years were planned by
him. He was for some time the Secretary of the Building Commission at
Washington and Lee and supervised
the construction of many of the building improvements of the school. There
are very f ew of the buildings in Lexington that were built during his active career on which his ad vice was
not asked.
He held the position of resident hydrographer of the United States Geological Survey from 1885 to 1898 and
was a men1ber of the government
Board of Mechanical Survey of Virgmaa. H e had been Dean of the
School of Appied Science since 1904
at Washington and Lee.
Professor Humphreys took n very
active interest in public affairs. He
was for several terms a member of the
L exington school board and .was ac-

Beginnin~r Monda~· an active campai~n
for the benctll of Finals has
bet:n carried on by the Executive and
Finance Committees.
During this
week every man un the campus will
be asked to subscribe by some member of these committees and it is hoped
that lhe subscriptions will come in
fast and with a good amount attached.
For the benefit of those new men
in sehool who have not heard all the
dope about Finals and who do not exactly understand just whaL their subscriptions are going for it might be
well to say that the amount subscribed
now covers all the dances and any
other entertainment put on by the
F inal Week Commitlee. This will be
first and last opportunity to contribute your par t to the financial end of
Finals.
The chief source of money for Finals is the Student Body. No definite
a rrangements can be made until enough capital ha11 been subscribed to
by the studenll$ m order to start the
giving out of contracts. This means
then that the t'Xtensiveness, length and
s uccess of FiiUils depends entirely upon what you subscribe this week.
Last year Finals went in the hole and
on account of sad experience no arrangements are being made until after it is known definitely· the amo11nL
subscribed by the Student Body.
Do your part by the School for
F inals by sub:;cribing Jibet'ally.

teams that hns ever represented W. &
L. On account of the track finances
being rather low, the indoor season
will include only the annual meet on
our track and the big meet at the
Baltimore 5th Regiment Armony,
The candidates include the following of last year's team, Capt. Price,
Thompson, Williams, Cobb and J . W.
Child, a member of the team a few
years ago. W. & L. is especially fortunate in the return of Child as he is
the reeord holder of t.he Indoor mile
here. Of the new men showing up
well are, Switzer and Penn, in the
dashes; Mabry and Bibb, in the hurdles; McCat·thy in the pole-vault;
Smith in the two mile; and Stevens
in the mile.

AU matter of business should be

We a re always glad to publish any
communication that may be handed
to us. We desire to call attention to
the fact that unsigned correspondence
will not be published.
As last r eported the total of windows broken out in the two Donnitor ies arising from w inter sports,
snow-balling, scuffiing, etc., ran over
twenty. Not to mention the inconveniences to lhe man whose room the
window is located, we are eonfronted
~th the fact that every cent that
goes to replace these windows is taken from the Breakage Fee which every student who matriculates must
pay. And, to get at the point, every
cent spent in this way means just
that much less for the Athletic Fund.
All that remains of the combined
Breakage Fund goes to swell the Athletic Fund total and no arguments have yet been advanced advocating its reduction. All that is needed is a little more carefulness and
accuracy.

Dr. Lucius J. Desha, P rofessor of

meeting of the Chemical Society on
Tuesday night. II is . ubject was one
of great interest to nil chemical students, be1ng a comprehensive rc,·ie'"
of "Photo Chemistry,'' which ha to
do with the imt>ortance of light in
chemical study and its significance
in the reactions of many of the clements. Dr. Desha's paper wns very
int~resting and in~tructive, and all
those present were delighted to hear
it.
On Tuesday evening, J an. 18th, nt

the University of VIrginia, will deliver an addre~s to the Soc1ety m the

the big meeting of the year, and the
public is cordially invited to a ttend.
The meeLings of the· Society nre always open to the public, and such
meetings as the one to be held Tuesday night are treats that \\ill be profitable and interesting not only to lovers of Chemistry but to every peraon
who desires to know more about the
things that vitally affect his life.

ARE YOU EDUCATED?
•H ow are you educated? Can you
say yes to every one of the foll owing
questions? 1l so, you are considered
educated in the best sense of the word,
says a professor in the University of
Chicago.
Has your education given you sympathy with all good causes and made
you espouse them ?
Has it made you a brother to the
weak?
Have you learned how to make
fTiends and to keep them?
Do you know what it is to be a
friend yourself?
Can you look an honest man or pure
woman in the eye?
Do you see anything to love in a
little child ?
Will a lonely dog follow you in the
street?
Can you be high-minded and happy
in the meanest drudgeries of life?
Do you think washing dishes and
boe.ing com just as compatable with
high thinking as piano playing and
golf?
Are you good f or anything yourself?
Can you be happy alone?
Can you look out on the world and
see an ything but dollars and cents?
Can you look into a mud puddle by
the wayside and see a clear sky?
Can you eee anything in the puddle but mud?
Can you look into the sky at night
and see beyond the stars 1

T
Swimming practice bas started in
earnest and there are quite a number
of candidates out. Practice is held
in the pool from a to 4 o'clock daily
except Monday, as the pool is not sufficiently warm on that day., One day
a week all of the men out for the
team take part in a water polo game
This game is played with the idea of
getting the men in better condition :for
the more strenuous work.
Of last year's Freshman Team back
this year are, Capt. Steer, Greiner,
and Rushton all of whom are :in good
shape and have improved a great deal
Of th!l new men doing especially good
dealwork are, H~k, in the dive; McCar tney, back stroke; Merk, 100 yards;
and Hartridge in the 220 yard swim
The schedule for t.he Swi)llming team
is not quite completed but it js certain that there will be at least two
meets.
The candidates for the Freshman
team are doing good work and should
make a creditaable showing in the
meet to be held here with all of the
prep schools.

A MERICA
is fast becoming a pipe smoking country. Every
fl. year more and more men are realizing the comfort, the satisfaction, and the economy of the pipe. And by natural selection,
more and more men are smoking W D C' Pipes. This is not
chance. It is because W D C Pipes offer the utmost in pipe value.
H onest French briar, seasoned by our own special process make
W D C Pipes break in sweet and mellow. Coupled with that is a
self-governed body of pipe makers whose sole object is to fashion
pipes which are without peers in all the world. And it has been
accomplished. Ask any good dealer.
