Excerpt from Addresses in Memory of Prof. Edward T. Fristoe

But if his life, so far as it came under my observa tion, may be said, in a certain sense, to have oscillated betwixt smiles and tears, it would be a great mistake to suppose that his long and useful career moved in the Sphere of the emotions alone. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow is our destined end or way, as one of our own poets has said. We all can say, with entire assurance.

Excerpt from Addresses in Memory of Prof. Edward T. Fristoe

Edward T. Fristoe was born in Rappahannock County, Virginia, December 16th, 1827; son of Joseph and Martha Fristoe. Received his early training at old time country schools in the neighborhood of his home. At the age of seventeen years, he entered Virginia Military Institute at Lexington, Virginia, from which he graduated in 1849, with the highest honors. For two years was principal of an academy at Surrey Courthouse, Virginia. In 1852 entered the University of Virginia, from which he graduated in three years, receiving the degree of A. M. in 1855. He excelled especially in mathematics and natural sciences. At the University he had the respect and esteem of professors and students, and was looked up to as a leader among the students. In 1855, while still a student, he was elected to the chair of mathematics in the Columbian College of Washington, D. C., which position he held with great acceptance until 1860, when he resigned to accept the chair of mathematics and astronomy in the State University of Missouri.

He entered the confederate army in 1862 as Adjutant General of the army of South Missouri, was made major in 1863, and soon after appointed colonel of cavalry. In 1864 he was with General Price in his march from the Arkansas to the Missouri River.
