one of the old school, because perfect
manners, in other words Chesterfielo
ian politeness is rarely seen new in
the new school. The old students of
the college, who are scattered all over
the country, will remember "Old Sol,''
the Latin teacher.
It used to be said, that towards the
latter part of his life, he was so fa
miliar with the Latin books, such as
Caesar, Virgil, Cicero, that he could
conduct the lesson without looking at
the book.
So, today the old Gannaway house
stands a silent reminder of the days
when old Trinity flourished in Ran
dolph, with only fcur professors, and
one president, "One, but a lion."
We understand new people are go
ing to move into the old house, ami
that it is to be lighted up by electric
ity, and other up-to-date contrivances;
while cement walks will cover tne
footsteps of those cf the long ago.
Professor Gannaway. the great
Latin scholar of Trinity has been dead
several years. The house is soon to
which it is located.
