Box 9, Folder 15

Scope and content:

Includes handwritten manuscript notice dated November 7, 1912 which announces to students that at their request, the faculty has granted them a holiday to attend a game in Roanoke. The notice reminds the students that they are the "custodians of the honor and reputation of their alma mater while there representing the customs and standards" of Washington and Lee. It further states, "I trust, therefore, that no representative of our campus will be seen entering a bar room or other degrading resort, gambling, or doing anything which would grieve or humiliate their parents, were they present."
