Record Of The Hampden Sydney Alumni Association V 24 No 1 October 1949 PDF Download

Excerpt from The Record of the Hampden-Sydney Alumni Association, Vol. 24: July, 1930 And that was once a happy summary of conditions in his own country, at least. But it takes no account of conditions even in that tight little island today. And it does not so much as hint at the paradox involved above which is that devotion to the Liberal Arts automatically makes a conservative. Two things, however, were reassuring, even to the back-century number. One was that, whether they wore yellow trimmings or white, the college young gentlemen who were about to commence the serious business of life as the Governor of the Commonwealth reminded them looked very like the college young gentlemen who were about to commence the serious business of life more than half a century ago. Obviously to the eye they belonged to the same breed of cats. The other, really bound up in the first, was that these college young gentlemen, about to face the future in a troubled and confused world, bore the same names - almost all of them of indurated American flavor - which had distinguished their predecessors at the tag end of the l8oo's.
