Facuity Biography
Dr. Oscar de Wolfe Randolph present Rector of the Virginia Epi~ copal School, was born in Chicago Illinois, September 28th, 1884. Al~ though of a Virginia family, he went to school in Chicago until he entered the Episcopal High School at Alex-
andria in 1892. He was an athlete from the start of his school career. H e played both end and halfback po- sitions on the football team. He was also on the track team, and in his last year he won the AU-around Ath- lete's Medal at J!'ield Day.
From the High School he entered the University of Virginia where he took a Bachelor of Arts Degree. While at Virginia he continued his record as a football player, playing quarterback and halfback. I n 1906 he was All-Southern quarterback. He was on the team that beat Georgetown 12-0, a remarkable oc- casion in those days, and played against V. P. I. the year Virginia
11 was beaten 12-0. V. P. I had Car- penter as halfback and five old V. P. I. captains on the team. Dr. Ran- dolph was a mem'ber of the D. K. E.

for the ministry while at Virginia, he entered the Theological Seminary at Alexandria, Virginia. His first position was doing missionary work in the mountains near Winchester. Later he held a church in Luray.

last four years of THE METEOR in that we shall not have a "comic" or joke section. THE METEOR has often been criticized by some of the stu- dents for its lack of their popular jests, but we must remind them that we have to look out for the reputa- tion and standard of the paper out- side of the school where we have re- ceived a great many praises for omit- ting the comics from our pages.

perhaps forever, but whom we shall never forget, and because of them V. E. S. shall have a stronger

of 1931 bids to the staff of this paper, the student body, and his fellow classmates, a heartfelt farewell, and wishes for them as for their school, the greatest of success in all of their
