Notes:
Hogue was one of Gildersleeve's early post-graduate students at Virginia. He was a stern disciplinarian and an upright moralist, who belonged more to the early 19th century than to the era in which he lived. Among students he was called “Judas” for his severe views against drinking, athletics, and excessive socializing. Hogue's “honest piety” made an interesting professional contrast with his Latin colleague Edwin W. Fay. He changed the spelling of his name in 1889, about the time his alma mater changed the spelling of its name to Hampden-Sydney.
