======= Transcribers’ Notes:
We have corrected “presi-ident” to “president”, p. 30.
We have let “Accepe hoc diploma,” p. 98, stand as written (it should be “accipe”).
We have corrected “in o near large towns” to “in or near large towns,” p. 114.
We have removed extraneous punctuation after “Trinity College,” p. 121, and after “Randolph-Macon College,” p. 138.
We have corrected “peferred” to “preferred,” and “greal” to “great,” p. 126.
We have added a period after B. in “A. B.” on p. 135.
We have corrected “held it annual session” to “held its annual session,” p. 148.
We have let “Bondfires were kindled,” p. 153, stand as written, though we suspect that “Bonfires” was intended.
We have let the comma after “the bare chimneys only” stand on page 164. The punctuation is odd, and we suspect it may be an error, but we can think of reasons Irby might have chosen to use it.
We have let the spelling “eak” stand on p. 166.
We have let “Professor’s” stand on p. 166.
We have corrected “compen-pensated” to “compensated” on p. 189.
We have corrected “FROF. W. A. FRANTZ” to “PROF. W. A. FRANTZ” in the caption on p. 245.
