Jones started on the mound for the locals, and Ancarrow lead off with a single. Beale doubled to right, and both scored when the ball rolled past Wilson. The Orange and Black drew a goose-egg for the first four innings, but the Spiders kept coming in the second. Clark singled, Woodward fouled out to Games, and Wiley started one over second which scored Clark, scoring himself a moment later on a swiped station and Beale's singles.

The Dell was staged as a beautiful little arbor into which at the summons of Old King Cole, Mrs. Miles as Mother Goose brought her family of fairies, elves and an- imals. There was the pig that was eat and Tom that was beat, Mary's famous little lamb, the priest all shaven and shorn, Jack Spratt and his plump wife, the dog that got stung on the bone and many other characters celebrated in the song and story of Mother Goose. Miss Rose Emory caused much merriment as she rode through the dell with rings on her fingers and bells on her horse's bridle, pursuing her way to Banbury Cross, which lies on the west of Player's Dell. One of the prettiest scenes of the pageant was the fairy dance taken part in by the fairest of the little misses of the country. Mary quite contrary and Daffy Downy Dilly were idyllic pictures of those stories and the sweet voices of Miss Cole and Miss Bozarth lent attractiveness to the scene.

One Hundred and Fifty Characters Take Part inThis Most Spectacular Event of the Year

A reader of THE FLAT HAT in NewYork sent in the following definitionwhich she had gotten fresh fromCalifornia: A suffragist is a womanwho wants suffrage; a suffragetteis one who bites the policeman.

On Friday afternoon last Player'sDell was the scene of the brightMother Goose Pageant, the littleopera, The House that Jack Built,given by the children of the MatthewWhaley School and superintended byMisses Davis and Stillwell.

PARADE TO THE COLLEGEForming at the School the brilliant

assemblage of more than one hun-dred and fifty men, women, andchildren headed by Old King Colein the person of the Rev. Mr. Hea-thorn, and his queen, Mrs. L. W.Lane, Jr., followed by courtiers,retainers, and all the inhabitants ofMother Goose land wended its wayto the College Campus and thence toPlayer's Dell. The Dell was stagedas a beautiful little arbor into whichat the summons of Old King Cole,Mrs. Miles as Mother Goose broughther family of fairies, elves and an-imals.

HOW THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIACAME BY THE HONOUR SYSTEM

Some weeks ago there appeared inthese columns an account of howWilliam and Mary was the motherand disseminator of the now famousHonour System, and as how theUniversity of Virginia laid claim tothe distinction of its authorship. Atthis present writing it will be shownhow the University came by the Sys-tem which she chooses to proclaimas her own.

It had its inception at the Univer-sity of Virginia in Eighteen Hun-dred and Forty-two when a resolu-tion of the Faculty, introduced byJudge Henry St. George Tucker,was passed,* by which each studentwas required to append to his exam-ination paper a pledge that he hadneither given nor received any as-sistance on the examination. Thiswas the genesis of the System atthe University; this is how it wastransplanted from William and Marywhere a student's word was takenfor everything; this is the connect-ing link between the two, as will beshown hereinafter.

There were given before thesefacts: Dr. Tyler attributes the gen-esis of the System to the new erawhich began with President Madisonin Seventeen Hundred and Seventy-nine; the printed rules of the Visi-tors in Eighteen Hundred and Sev-enteen contain official recognition of

the System, whereby a studentmight give evidence of his guilt orinnocence; and again in EighteenHundred and Thirty another 'Statutefor the Good Government of the Col-lege of William and Mary,' gaveeven a clearer phrasing whereby theFaculty was to 'confer' with a stu-dent under suspicion and to take hisword implicitly. Judge NathanielBeverley Tucker later, in EighteenHundred and Thirty-four, referredto the System in an introductoryaddress to his law class as one oflong standing. Judge Tucker was astudent here as early as EighteenHundred and One, and his brotherHenry St. George Tucker, who af-terwards became a distinguishedJudge, and the professor of law inthe University of Virginia alreadymentioned, was also a student at theCollege about the same time; and itwas he who in Eighteen Hundredand Forty-two introduced the Hon-our System into the University ofVirginia, as shown repeatedly in thehistory of the University by Dr.Paul Barringer and Dr. Jas. M.Garnett.

The Honour System was an evo-lutionary growth at the Collegeduring the Eighteenth Century outof the'Character and traditions ofVirginia Life' and William and Mary'did but become the natural expo-nent of the character of the peopleto which she owed her existence.'Such was the spirit of the placewhen the two distinguished Tuckerbrothers were here at college.

Mr. Jefferson attempted to inau-gurate student government at theUniversity when he opened it, butthe young men there at that timewere wild and more lawless than thetype of men that Mr. Jefferson hadknown at his Alma Mater. Dissen-sion and revolt resulted, and notuntil Judge Tucker's resolution ofEighteen Hundred and Forty-twomay the Honour System be saidto exist at this new institution. Thisinnovation was simply the institutionof the spirit which he knew fromhis associations with William andMary.

From the history of the Univer-sity mentioned above are frequentprotests against the Honour Systembeing called the 'Princeton System'and claiming that it should be calledthe 'University of Virginia System.'An article by one of the joint authorsof that history appeared in TheUniversity of Virginia Magazine forEighteen Hundred and Ninety-fiveattempting to show the validity ofthis claim. But the time has comewhen by all fair-minded men theSystem must be called the 'Williamand Mary System.'

sources that the promoters of theSummer School were hoping to havea continuation of THE FLAT HATduring that term, and had soughtthe assistance of several young menaround the College toward a realiza-tion of that plan. Nothing has beensaid to us, but if such be true wewant to take this means of statingthat we are unwilling that our namebe used for such a purpose, and thatit will be so used under protest. Aweekly during that period would beof unquestioned value, and the Sum-mer School will do well to maintainone, hut we do not believe that itwould be just to the HAT to trans-plant it to foreign soil. It may notbe worn with the same eclat outside

of the venerable precincts of the tri-angular Green of the College, andat most, it should not be carted outof the Old Capital. Our contempo-rary, College Topics, is continuedthrough the summer at the Univer-sity, but under another name we as-sure you.

Doubtless after the outrageousvandalism committed in the DellFriday, the College authorities willtake some definite steps to preservethe College property from towntoughs.

The Mother Goose Pageant wasthe most ingeniuus production of theyear. When ladies put their headstogether, beware! Nothing remainsbut victory.
