Most Famous Student
It is surprising that nobody else around
Charlottesville has built on the name of the
University's most famous student - Edgar
Allen Poe. It is also a bit odd that, although G.
Robert Jones and Al Bonnewell are both
English majors, Chuck Davis came up with the
name, Messrs. Jones and Bonnewell resisted at
first, but soon gave in to Davis' stroke of
genius. Now they consider themselves minor
experts on Mr. Poe, thanks to research done for
their new club. Al Bonnewell also likes to think
of Mr. Poe as a typical Virginia student.
Although he did not elaborate too much, we
must assume this is because of Poe's great
capacity for drink and mischief, genius and
study.
