UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA.

BARRINGER, Paul Brandon, 1857-

Paul riran(l<iii l>arringer, M.D., Professor in the Unixersily of Virgiuia, was born in Concord, North Carolina, February 13, 1857, the son of Rufus and Iuit;enia (Morrison) liarringcr. He conies of a military family, his father having commanded as a general officer in the Confederate Army during the Civil War, and his grandfather being Gen- eral Paul Barringer, 181 2.

He received his early eiUication at the Bingham School in his native state, and then at the I-Cenmore University School in Virginia, and at the University of \'irginia, following which he entered at once upon the study of medicine. His mind had an early bent in the direction of this science, which manifested itself during his school life, and he was not yet twenty years of age when he definitely devoted jiimself to its stud}-. He entered as a student in the Med- ical Department of the Unix'ersity of Vir- ginia, where he attended lectures and was graduated in 1877, and at the University of the City of New York, where he was gradu- ated in 1878. He was thus equipped for the practice of medicine as soon as he came of age, and he at once established himself in Dallas, North Carolina, where he remained three years as a successful general practi- tioner. Feeling a desire to extend his knowledge by special studies, in 1882 he

Uni\ersit\- of X'irgiiiia, ami fiDiii a day sclioul vvliich he atlciuled for a lime in Louisa County. At the age of seventeen he entered the Randolph Macon College, Vir- ginia, where he was graduated with the de- gree of Master of Arts, and where such had been his success as a student that he carried off all the prizes offered in the Academic Departiuent, and was appointed Assistant to the Chair of Alathematics, which he filled during the last two years of his sojourn there. After his graduation he went to the University of Leipsic, where he pursued his scientific studies, ha\ing had the advantage of personal intercourse with and the friend- ship of such men as Lie, Klein, l^ngel. and others. While studying under Lie, the great geometer whose discoveries are well known to scientific stuilents, he inil)lishe(l several articles on the "Theory of Transformation Groups," which brought him the commen- dation of his great teachers. In 1887 he was graduated from the University of Leipsic with the degree of Doctor of I'hilosoph)-, magna cunt landc. He then returned home and established a boy's school there, known as the Keswick School. Here Dr. Page taught for seven years, ha\'ing educated a number t)f clex-er young men, many of whom ha\'e had successful collegiate careers since leaving his school. In 1895 he re- turned to Europe to complete, at Leipsic and Paris, his work on "Differential Equa- tions," which has ajipeared from the press of Macmillan & Co., London. U])on com- ing back to America in i8ij6, he was made a Fellow by courtesy of Johns Hopkins University, and invited to deli\'er a course of lectures before the Professors and gradu- ate students of that Institution. While there he was elected Adjunct Professor of Pure Mathematics in the L'niversity of Virginia, where he has since spent his time. He was recently promoted to the full Professorshij) in the liniversity, and upon the resignation of Dr. r.arringer, in 1903, was elected Chair- man of the Facultv, a position which he

PETERS, William Elisha, 1829-

Emeritus Professor of Iiatin.

Colonel \\ illiam 1'^. Peters, so well known to the past generations of Latin students

who have attended the University of \'ir- ginia, was born in Pedford County, Vir- ginia, on the 28th of August, 1829. His father was Elisha Peters, of Nelson County, X'irginia, who was born in 1770, and died in 1861, at the age of ninety-one years.

There he studied for two years, heing graduated in several Academic schools, and in 11^52 was elected f'rofessor of ( Ireek anil Latin at ]Mnor\- and 1 lenry (."ollege. In 1X5'! he re- ceived leave of absence to study ahroad, and went to lierlin, where lie studied for two vears in the Cni\i'rsilv of thai ])lace. In 1858 he returnetl to limory and Henry L'ol- lege, where lie remained until the outbreak of the Civil War, when he enlisted as a private, on the i8th of April, 1861, in the Sniythe Dragoons. He was elected hirst Lieutenant of the Coni])any, and was then Captain on the staff of ( leneral John U. Eloyd. He was afterwards promoted to be Lieutenant Colonel of Infantry in Floyd's Brigade, and in 3 8r)3 was elected Colonel of Cavalr)', commanding the Twenty-tirst Vir- ginia Regiment, where he served under the well-known cavalry leaders, General Will- iam E. Jones, General Mat Ransom, ( ien- eral Jiradley T. Johnson and (ieneral AIc- Causland. In 1864, when General Early in- vaded Pennsylvania, Colonel Peters com- manded a regiment in his army, and, though ordered to burn Chamlx-rshurg, declined to do so, alleging as his reason, that he hail not enlisted to fight women and ehihlren. This defiance of orders was approved by General Lee, and Colonel Peters was never brought to trial therefor. He was three times wounded, twice badly, and in the Shenandoah Valley Campaign was supposed to be mortally wounded, being left on the field of battle. He was, however, discov- ered and kindly treated by General Ax'erill, the commander of the h'ederal Cax'alrv. In

DAVIS, John Staige, 1824-1885

Professor of Anatomy and Materia Medica, 1856-1885.

Dr. Jolm Staige Davis, who for forty years was connected with the University of Vir- ginia, was born in Albemarle County, Vir- ginia, on the 1st of October, 1824. He was the son of the distinguished Law Professor in the same institution, John A. G. Davis, and Mary Jane Terrell, his wife.

Young Davis, at the age of sixteen, was graduated from the Unix-ersity of Virginia with the degree of Master of Arts, and in one 3'ear more was graduated therefrom with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. He went 10 Philadelphia, where he studied under the leading Medical Professors of the country, and in 1842 settled in Jefiferson County, Virginia. In 1845 he returned to

In \'f^'^(^ he was elected Professor of Anatomy anil Materia Mcdica and ISotany, which he tangiit, ex- cept I'lOtany, up to the date oi his deatii. Dr. James L. Cabell, the distinguished Pro- fessor at the University, in writing of Dr. Davis, said of him : "Wherever he was known, the achievement of his professional career had fullv realized the jjromise of his precocious childhood and hrilHant L'ni\er- sity career. As a lecturer he hail few ec|uals and no su])eriors ; as a jiractitioner he was not only fully abreast of the latest advances in medical science, but was also skillful and judicious in their jM^actical application. In the relations of jjrivate life he was true and just in all his dealings, faithful to his friends, and habitually iiunctilious in dispensing the courtesies which beautify social intercourse among men. To these enduring cpialities of courtl\- distinction he added the crown- ing grace of an earnest Christian faith."

He was twice married, his first wife being Lucy Landon ISlackford, who died I'"ebru- ary I, 1S59, leaving tw<i children, Mary J. Harrison, and Dr. William P). Davis, of the United States Army. His second wife was Miss Caroline Hill, whom he married on the 20th of Seiitcmber, 1865. .Among his children 1)y his last wife is Dr. John Staige Davis, Professor of Patliology and Practice of Medicine in the University of \'irginia. He died on the 17th of July, 1885.

TOWLES, William B., 1847-1893

Professor of Anatomy, 1885-1893.

Dr. Towles, the distinguished iVnatomist, was born in ColumlDia, Fluvanna County, Virginia, on the 7th of March, 1847.

His early education was obtained in pri- vate schools. Tn i8r)7 he entered the L^ni- versity o.f Virginia as a student of Medi- cine, and was graduated therefrom in iS6g with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. In

1872 he was elected Demonstrator of Anat- omy, and on account of his eminent quali- fications, upon the death of Dr. John Staige Da\'is in 1885, he was elected to succeed him as Professor of Anatomy. From that time until the date of his death, Septemlier 15, 1893, his life's work was at the Uni- versity of Virginia. Thousands of students who listen.ed to his lectures are indebted to liim for their knciwledge in his branch of science. His knowknlge was accurate and abundant, and he was remarkable for his aptness and felicity of expression. No stu- dent wdio ever sat under him was able to leave his lecture ■without having taken an interest in what he was teaching. The im- ])ression whicli lie made upon those who came under his inlluence was lasting. His directness and frankness with his associates was only equalled by his friendliness and simplicity in dealing with his students. In- dulgent he was and patient, in dealing with tlie inexperienced. He seemed to realize that in order to teach he had to obtain not only the respect, but the affection of those who listened to him. Few men have ever liad warmer friends, and no teacher has ever had more appreciative pu])ils.

DAVIS, Noah Knowles, 1830-

In 1868 he was elected President of Bethel College, Rus- sellville, Kentucky, and while holding this position he was called, in 1873, to the Chair of Moral Philosophy in the L^niversitv of Virginia, which ])Osition he still holds. Be- sides many articles in rc\-iews and other periodicals, and addresses and papers read before literary, scientific and religious bodies, he is author of the following well- known works, all on subjects of the highest dignity: "The Theory of Thought," a full treatise on Deductive Logic, published by Harper & Bros., in 1880; "The Elements of Deductive Logic"; "The Elements of In- ductive Logic," published by Harper & Bros. ; "The Elements of Psychology" ; "The Elements of Ethics," pulilished by Silver, Burdett & Co. : "Juda's Jevvels," a study in Hebrew Lyrics, published by the

l'ul)lishing House of the M. E. Church, .South, and "The Story of the Nazarene," published by Eleming H. Revcll Company, of New York. His life's work has been de- \'Oted to teaching, with the result that the above named publications have in them that simplicity combined with depth of learning and breadth of view, which makes them not onh- useful as text-books for the classroom, but as perhaps the best an<l latest deliver- ance u]3on their great subjects. Among his students Professor Davis is regarded as the

In addition to the work of the classroom, he has delivered, for the past twenty-five years, at the I'niversity of Virginia, upon Sunday afternoons. Biblical lectiu'es which have been a means of grace to hundreds of yoiuig men who thus have received a lasting im- pression concerning the literature and spir- ituality of the Scriptures. Fortunately the substance of these lectures has been em- bodied in the publications already men-

STONE, Ormond, 1847-

Frofessor of Astronomy, 1882-

Professor C)rmund Stone was born at I'ekin, Tazewell County, Illinois, January II, 1847, the eldest son of the Rev. Elijah

and Sophia ( Creitihton ) Stone. His father, who was of New luigland origin, was a traveling ])reacher of tha Illinois Conference of the Methodist I^piscopal Church, and his mother was of Scotch-Irish descent. In those early da^'s, Illinois was on the fron- tier, and the ministers of the Methodist de» nomination had circuits which they changed every year or two. In 1852 the Rev. Mr. .Stone anVl his familv removed to Cook Countv, having previously resided in I'an- luii, Nau\iici and Carthage.

The son attended the public schools of N'arious towns in northern Illinois, and finally, his father haxing been appointed to the pastorate of a church in Chicago, he attended the public schools of that city, l^ven in childhiHid he d.isplayed an aptitude anil love for mathematics, which developed as he grew older. While a student in the Chicago High School, the Dearborn Ob- servatory was founded in connection with the old University of Chicago, whither Pro- fessor T. H. Safiford was called and re- mained in charge until the great fire of 1 87 1. ( )rmond Stone soon made his ac- (|uaintance and became his ])upil, and tlius liegan his career as an astronomer.

After his graduation at the High School, he taught one year at Racine College, after which he returned to Chicago to continue his studies at the University. In iSfig, in com])any with Professor Safford, he went to Des Moines, Iowa, to observe the great eclipse of that year. While there he made the acquaintance of the astronomers sent from the Washington Observatory, and the following spring was appointed an Assist- ant in that institution. He was assigned to the Meridian Circle, on which he was em- ployed for the next five years, and, in 1875, he was called to the Directorship of the Cin- cinnati Observatory. About the same lime he was made Master of Arts of the Uni- versit}' of Chicago. At Cincinnati, in con- nection with his assistants, he employed the ii-inch Equatorial of that institution in an extended and practically complete series of measures of the then known southern double-stars north of thirty degrees south declination. Here, also, he commenced his work as a trainer of young astronomers, of wdiom a large number now occupy import- ant astronomical positions.

In 1882 he was invited to take charge of the new Leander McCormick Observatory of the University of Virginia, although it had nut then been built. The great 26-inch telescope was finalh' reatly for use in the

OFFICERS AND ALUMNI

sprint^ of 1885. This Observatory is mem- oralile as possessing tlie first large dome made liy \\^arner and Swascy. Also, for the first time in this countrj', electricity was applied to the illumination of the circles and micrometer of the great refractor. As the southern doidjle-stars had been observed at Cincinnati, it was appropriate that he should devote this larger instrument to ob- servations of southern nebulae. As a result, hundreds of new nebulae were discovered, and in 1893 there was published a catalogue of the micrometric measurements of the positions of southern nebulae — the only ex- tended series of such measurements made in this country. He has made a special study of the great nebula of ()rion, includ- ing a great number of photometric observa- tions of the condensations of the Huyghen- ian region, and of the stars, especially of the variables, contained therein. The retire- ment of Professor Asaph Hall, of the U. S. Naval Observatory, who had been en- gaged in observing the satellites of Saturn, led to the continuation of that work for several years at the McCormick Observa- tory. More recently the determination of faint standards of stellar magnitudes was undertaken at the suggestion of Professor E. C. Pickering, in connection with the Har- vard and other American Observatories possessing very large refractors. In con- nection with this work observations have been undertaken of variable stars too faint to be observed with any but the most pow- erful telescopes.

On the completion of the tenth volume of the "Analyst," published by the late Dr. Hendricks, of Des Moines, Iowa, when that journal ceased to exist. Professor Stone began the publication of the "Annals of Mathematics." Of this journal Professor Woodward, of Columbia University, said at the close of the tenth volume, "The 'Annals' has exerted ... a truly national influ- ence on mathematical thought ; . . . while its formative effect on the minds of

readers and students is now everywhere manifest in the activit}' of the rising genera- tion of iVmerican mathematicians."

Professor Stone has written numerous pajicrs on mathematical and astronomical subjects, which have appeared from time to time in the "Astronomischc Nachrichten," Gould's "Astronomical Journal," the "An- nals of Mathematics," etc. Among these are several papers on the motion of Hy- perion, one of the satellites of Saturn, the determination of whose orbit is one of the interesting problems of celestial mechanics. He is a member of various scientific and other societies. For several years he was chairman of a committee of the American Association for the Advancement of Sci- ence, in connection with which his efforts were largely instrumental in establishing the system of standard time now employed by the railroads of the United States. In 1888 he was Chairman of the Section of Mathematics and Astronomy of the Ameri- can Association and has been a member of the Council of the Astronomical and Astro- physical Society of America since its found- ation. He is a vice-president of the Vir- ginia State Teachers' Association, and as such has taken an active part in promoting interest in the public schools of the state.

On May 31, 1S71, Professor Stone mar- ried Miss Catharine Flagler. His present address is the University of Virginia. He is a brother of Mr. Melville F. Stone, the General Manager of the Associated Press.

GRAVES, Charles Alfred, 1850-

stock of Piedmont, Virg^inia. His father was for a iong^ time a prominent banker and Jiusiness man of Bedford County. His mother was the great-niece of Martin Daw- son, whose beneficence to the University of Virginia is well known, and whose memory is still preserved in the buildings of that institution called "Dawson's Row."

Young Graves moved to Bedford County in 1857, and attended the local schools of that County for some years, from which he was enabled in 1865 to enter Washington College, as it was then known, now Wash- ington and Lee L'niversity. In 1869 he was graduated from Washington College with the degree of Master of Arts, having been a student of that institution while Robert E. Lee was its President. In 1873 he was grad- uated therefrom with the degree of Bach- elor of Law, having studied under the dis- tinguished teachers. Judge John W. Brock- enborough and the Hon. John Randolph Tucker. Upon obtaining his Master's de- gree he was appointed Assistant Professor of English and French, which he taught until 1873, when he was elected Assistant Professor of Law, and in 1874 he was elected Adjunct Professor of Law. In 1875 he was elected full Professor of Law, a po- sition which he held until 1899, when he was elected Professor of Law in the Uni- versity of Virginia, which Chair he still oc- cupies, teaching Contracts, Torts, Pleading and Practice, and I'lvidence. In 1896 Pro- fessor Graves was made Doctor of Laws by Davidson College, North Carolina. From 1895 until 1897 he was Associate Editor of the "Virginia Law Register," where his w(3rk was highU- appreciated by the Bar of the State. He is a member of the State Bar Association and of the American Bar Association. While at College he was a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. He has published "A Summary of Personal Property" and "The Law of Real Property."

On August 28, 1877, he married Miss Liz- zie Kirkpatrick of Lexington, \'^irginia.

whose father was for many years Professor of Moral Philosophv in Washington and Lee University, and has four children: Will- iam Kirk])atrick, Mary burner, John Kirk- ]>atrick and Juliet Graham Graves. He is a Democrat in politics, but has never held public office. His i^resent address is the Uni\ersity of Virginia.
