Virgil tried Bethany for two years and then came to Kentucky. His name implies that he might be poetic, he may be, but if he is he tells it to somebody and does not write it. He knows as much History as Tuthill and as much Political Economy as Butt--so they say. You can take the statement as it stands or leave it. To be safe--leave it. He intends to become a lawyer some sweet day, and since he does what he intends to do--ergo--he will be a lawyer. Maybe you might say a student of law. He is rarely seen on the campus when not in company with a certain other.
