zealous and of a loveable character. I had in 1864 and 5 attended
Mary Sharp College, one term,under the personal charge of Dr. Graves
a great teacher on the Socratic order, and one term at Georgetown
Kentucky, where I studied very little but Latin and Greek, so that
when the University Course was established at Winchester I was able
to enter.

I remember Dr. Knight giving me the subject "Grass" on which

the fact that grass was grass. I had never studied Botany, I had never
seen any hay. The only roughness for stock that I knew of was corn-
fodder or oats. I did not then know of any other use for grass except
to let stock eat it, and I am sure I would not be proud of that composition
now.
