Excerpt from The Record of the Hampden-Sydney Alumni Association, Vol. 13: April, 1939 Hampden-sydney has consistently declined to yield to the widespread tendency to adjust its curriculum to such courses as have a practical bearing on the after-life of the student. In other words, it does not teach subjects which will best enable a student to make money either in the professions or in business when he goes out into the world. Hampden-sydney adheres to its original conception that the student should be given a gen eral education creating a cultural outlook. To that end, it has always stressed and will continue to stress the importance of studying Latin, Greek, German. French and Spanish. History and English literature. It is due to this that the college holds a unique position in our institutions of college grade and sets it apart from the accusation that it is just another college.

Excerpt from The Record of the Hampden-Sydney Alumni Association, Vol. 8: July, 1934 Moreover, many a boy who accepts a bid and joins a fraternity is not financially able to do so, and yet attaches such importance to being a fraternity man that he feels that he cannot decline. The result is that he either puts an additional burden on his parents, who may be making a great effort to give him an education, or else he leaves college in debt to his fraternity, thus impairing his sense of obligation and putting an additional charge on those who do pay their dues and contribute their part to the social demands made on the chapter. What would seem to be of greater importance to the fraternity itself is the fact that a number of boys whose breeding, ability, and promise would make them most desirable and congenial fraternity men and reflect credit on the fraternity, have to decline because they cannot afford the cost.

Excerpt from The Record of the Hampden-Sydney Alumni Association, Vol. 8: October 1933 Those in charge of the arrangements have wisely chosen as the date for the celebration the twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth of October, which falls at the same time as home-coming Day and, in this way, there will be even a greater inducement for former members to return. The Alumni of the Chapter will have the opportunity not only to meet their brothers of college days but will in this way have an occasion to foregather with other college mates attracted by the Home Coming. After fifty years, the Chapter to-day is possibly more flourishing than at any time in its long history, having in its membership a number of campus leaders and excellent students. The record extends its congratulations to the Chapter and a welcome to returning Alumni and other guests and bespeaks for the occasion an event full of enjoyment and one that will be long remembered in the annals of Upsilon Chapter and the College itself.

Excerpt from The Record of the Hampden-Sydney Alumni Association, Vol. 9: October, 1934 The Chesters were Puritans of New England, people of strong bodies, vigorous minds and marked Spiritual gifts. The Chapters dealing with Dr. Chester's early life at Mount Holly, Arkansas, where he was born in 1851, present a vivid picture of the pioneer days in that state when there were few luxuries and life was strenuous; slavery as it existed then is shown at its best; war incidents are related, and the trials of Reconstruction days are referred to in a calm and impartial manner. College life at Washington College (lexington, Vir ginia) is portrayed' and the young student's association with General Robert E. Lee and his family is set forth in a most interesting way. Then hampden-sydney, as it was in the early seventies, receives the attention it deserves. The great worthies of the Seminary faculty are mentioned and just estimates of them are made. To the readers of the record this portion of the book will probably be most interesting. Even Walker Crawley is not forgotten, though the reference to this unique person is brief and not perhaps as laudatory as Walker would have wished it to be. It Should be stated, however, that the names of Hampden Sydney men are found all through the volume; for the contribution of the College to the work of missions has been great, and the Secretary came in contact with many of them.
