The Magazine and Topics.
The University of Virginia Magazine
and College Topics are fortunate
this year in having Mr. Leonidas Rutledge
Whipple on their respective staffs
—on that of the former as editor-in-chief.
Several years ago, while an undergraduate
student here, Mr. Whipple won several
prizes for excellence in literary composition.
For three years since that time
he has been Assistant in English at the
University of Missouri, and has served
at two different times on the staff of the
St. Louis Republic. Since the fall of
1906 he has been a student in the University
graduate department, and has
held the position of Instructor in Journalism
and in Short Story Writing. As a
contributor to leading periodicals he is
becoming widely known; and as a writer
of essays and verse, as well as of the
short story, he possesses unusual ability.
Recent enlargement of the tennis fields
of Madison Hall has made pleasant and
healthful recreation easily accessible to
an increasing number of men; and just
now the beauties and conveniences of the
grounds about the Hall are being enhanced
by the laying of cement walks
all around the building.
