THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Dr. Cole, former academic vice president of ‘Tulane University, as- sumed the presidency last Septem- ber 1, succeeding Dr. Francis P. Gaines, who had served as president since 1930 and is now Chancellor. Over 1,000 guests assembled to honor the university and its new president on the campus between the home Robert E.

Pusey, president of Harvard University and a friend of Dr. Cole, made the convocation address which preceded the inaugu- ration. He congratulated Wash- ington and Lee for choosing a man of Dr. Cole’s caliber for its pres- ident. “At my first meeting with him—now more than a decade ago,” he said, “...1 was struck by his discriminating mind, his manifest concern for quality, his affection for people. Since that time I have fol- lowed with interest his career as scholar, teacher, author, editor, and administrative officer and have ob- served time and again how widely he is respected for his industry, dis- cernment, fairness and warm hu- manity... The moment is full of promise for this college, for your state, and for our nation. In choos- ing Fred Cole, this community evi- dences a continued awareness of what makes a good college. You can rejoice in the leader you have found; and he in the high oppor- tunity you offer him for respon- sible service to quality education.” Recognizing that “Washington SUMMER 1960 Spectators enjoy good weather during the inaugural ceremony on the campus. and Lee has achieved much of its distinction as an institution dedi- cated to the liberal arts and _ sci- ences,’ Dr. Cole, in his inaugural address, defined the liberal arts and sciences as “studies that free the mind, lead to understanding, create humility and tolerance, and afford a basis for continuing study and learning.” ‘These studies historically differ from “subjects with obvious utilitarian applications.” INTEGRITY Is KEY “Greatness in an institution Is difficult indeed to achieve or to maintain,’ Dr. Cole declared. “‘It requires toil and treasure, with no practicable or arbitrary limitations upon either. Yet the one indispen- sable element of greatness—integri- ty—is available merely by resolu- tion to have it and to keep it. It will not by itself assure greatness; Four of the top-ranking delegates from universities were Washington and Lee alumni: left to right; PRESIDENT FRANZE E. LUND, ’33, of Kenyon College, PRESIDENT EDGAR F. SHAN- NON, JR., 939, of the University of Virginia, PRESIDENT Robert E. LEE, ’41, of Georgia State College for Women, and VicE-PRESIDENT Harry M. Puiport, °38, University of Florida. 3 but an institution or an individual with it will be much farther along the road to greatness than one with far larger physical resources but without this essential quality.” Discussing the role of liberal edu- cation at the college and university level, Dr. Cole called integrity ‘the most important consideration in regard to the objectives of an edu- cational institution.” It “is subject to attack and erosion from various and many sources and causes.” “A principal danger,’ he warned, “comes from the demand to fill im- mediate and specific needs rather than to supply students with the basic information and broad _ in- tellectual, and. scientific, training necessary for viewing and solving current problems in proper perspec- tive and with sound understanding of causes and consequences.” ‘THREATS TO INTEGRITY ‘Two specific threats to the loss of integrity today, he said, are ath- letics and research. He described how, in many colleges, intercolle- giate sports have become a form of popular public entertainment. Maintaining a nationally promi- nent athletic position tempts com- promises with ‘“‘admission — stand- ards, the curriculum, and the needs of some academic departments. When athletics become apart from—rather than a part of—a col- lege’s educational program, then the threat of loss of integrity is very real indeed.” “A less recognized aspect of dis- tortion in education is related to research,” Dr. Cole declared. “Now every university of consequence is expected to have immense research projects or programs....It must always be borne in mind that a col- lege is basically a community of scholars and _ potential scholars. Such an institution should not un- dertake the type of research that can be pursued most by industrial, commercial, or governmental lab- 4 ’ oratories,’ or any type which will impose a burden on the college. HicH STANDARDS Maintaining the integrity of a college requires the support of a certain framework for learning, and this framework includes adequate administrative personnel; scholar- teachers; capable students; and a comprehensive curriculum. The new president pointed out that “a great liberal arts institu- tion must have well-understood and well-defined objectives. It must meet the high standards in all areas and aspects of its being and _ its operation. ...in a university dedi- cated to liberal studies, the curricu- lum must be broad enough to offer acquaintance with all major areas of knowledge and the great ideas that have shaped the destiny of man.... The faculty must be ade- quate to the great task before it. It is the faculty, more than any other element, that gives a college or uni- versity its character and its quality. The teacher is, after all, the only unique thing which a college has to offer. The student body should be of the quality, size, and composition which will permit the instructional objectives to be at- tained most effectively... . Every student should have the intellec- tual and personal capacities, as well as the academic preparation, to utilize a college education for more than ordinary benefit to him- self and society....We must edu- cate our young people not merely for happy living and personal suc- cess, but for wise and dynamic lead- ership.” ‘The administrative officers of a university or college must be dedi- cated to fostering each of these ele- ments of greatness,”” he concluded, “...but nothing in education is ever really adequate. We can never know enough; we can never teach enough; our students can never learn enough. But we must unceas- ingly strive to learn more, to teach more, to get our students to know more, both by improving instruc- tional methods and by selection of capable students who are willing to work unceasingly.” A group of alumni delegates to the Inauguration during coffee hour in Tucker Hall. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Dr. William Pusey, II Is Newly Appointed Dean of the College HEN WASHINGTON and Lee re- W opens in September, there will be some familiar faces places. Sitting in the dean’s chair will be Dr. William Webb Pusey, III, a member of the faculty since 1939, and now a professor of German. He will fill the administrative vacancy created by the resignation last spring of Dr. Leon F. Sensabaugh as Dean of the University. Dr. David W. Sprunt, professor of religion, will assume the job of Associate Dean of Students, and University Chaplain on September 1. He will also continue as an active teacher. Dr.-. Pusey, --49 -years--old,: -will serve as Dean of the College. He will be the University’s principal academic officer, but he will not exercise direct authority over the deans of Law and the School of Commerce. This reflects a change in the ad- ministrative organization. Previous- ly, the Dean of the University di- rected the College of Arts and Sci- ences, and also was responsible to the president for affairs of all Wash- ington and Lee’s academic divi- sions. “Because of Washington and Lee’s traditional and continuing emphasis on the liberal arts, I think it is appropriate that the university have a dean devoted exclusively to this area of learning, and that this officer be a man whose training and in new SUMMER 1960 Dean of the College WILLIAM W. Pusey, III experience stem from the liberal arts,’ President Fred C. Cole de- clared. “Dr. Pusey,” he said, “is a scholar of the first rank, a respected teach- er and a man of excellent exper- ience in administrative matters through his valuable service on many and varied faculty commit- tees. By appointing him Dean, we will not be losing one of our best teachers, for he will continue to teach, but I feel that Washington and Lee will benefit all the more from his leadership in other func- tions.”’ Under the new administrative alignment, Dr. Pusey, commerce school Dean Lewis W. Adams, and law school Dean Charles P. Light will hold equal administrative status, a situation ‘‘best suited to the particular needs of Washing- ton and Lee,” President Cole said. Dr. Pusey, however, will normally act in the president’s behalf during his absence. Dr. Pusey holds a bachelor’s de- gree from Haverford College, a master’s from Harvard, and his doc- torate from Columbia University. His major field of study has been German impressionism, and he has also specialized in American-Ger- man literary relations. He is the author of two books, and numerous reviews and articles in scholarly journals. During World War II, he served in the United States Naval Reserve, being cited for his work as an interpreter in interrogation of the German Naval Command at the end of the war.

Once every four years Washington and Lee students channel this seasonal energy into a campus-wide produc- tion which their administrators feel has real educational value—a mock political convention held for the party out of power. Every four years since 1908, with only two wartime lapses, they have staged colorful shows with all the finesse of polished politicians. And seven out of eleven times, they have picked the correct presidential nom- inees. Mr. TRUMAN and Dr. Corr led the parade in the last great Dusenberg built. Truman Keynotes Mock Convention ‘The 1,000 students become dele- gates, Doremus gymnasium is trans- formed into Convention Hall, and downtown Lexington sports ban- ners and buntings of state and can- didate headquarters for days before the convention begins. Miss America speaks. 10 Central figure of the 1960 Mock Democratic convention on May 2 and 3 was former President Harry S. Truman, who keynoted the opening session and added authen- ticity to the partisan enthusiasm. He was introduced by an _ old friend, alumnus H. Graham Mor- ison, class of 1932, chairman of the 1932 Democratic Mock Convention. In his twenty-two minute speech Mr. Truman reminded delegates that, in choosing the man whom we will select as our next President, we must elect ‘an honorable man, a man of courage...a man who will make decisions.” He told the stu- dents that he would like to return someday to Washington and Lee to tell them about the job of being president, and what it entails. Joining him on the celebrities’ bench at the convention were two other well-known _ figures—“‘Miss America of 1960,” Lynda Lee Mead ALUMNI THE MAGAZINE of Natchez, Mississippi, and U. S. Senator Henry M. Jackson of Wash- ington. Miss Mead, who rode on the New Jersey float in the pre-con- vention parade, told the delegates she felt right at home in a Demo- cratic gathering, coming from a state “where there’s no such thing as a Republican.” Senator Jackson feared that America is losing the in- itiative in world affairs because the present leaders have no clear ideas of what our purposes are and how we go about achieving them. He urged an all-out effort for building a world community here which makes room for all peoples and “for fulfillment of their legitimate aspirations—for economic progress, equality of status, freedom and se- curity.” During the balloting, presiden- tial candidates John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Stuart Syming- ton, and Adlai E. Stevenson re- ceived the largest number of votes, with Senator Kennedy forging ahead on the sixth ballot to win. Senator Jackson was named by the collegians as running mate for Kennedy, on the third ballot. Convention shenanigans includ- ed the usual “spontaneous” demon- SUMMER 1960 strations for candidates, brightened by these individual stunts: the re- leasing of two snowy “doves of peace” in behalf of John Ken- nedy...the doves swooped wildly over the convention, then settled down on the laps of some stu- dents’ wives to be petted; an un- wieldly batch of large gas-filled bal- loons marked LB] for Senator Johnson, which escaped a delega- tion and went sailing to the ceiling of Doremus gymnasium; a_ toy motorized car filled with students, which cruised up and down the aisles when things got dull. The pre-convention parade was led by Mr. Truman and Dr. Fred C. Cole, president of Washington and Lee, riding in a huge open 1940 Dusenberg. An estimated 20,000 spectators cheered the 75 floats and twelve bands which wound their way through Lexington’s streets. One of the highlights of the parade happened in front of the President's Home, where the dig- nitaries were seated, when two ornery mules pulling the Oklahoma float, a covered wagon, stopped sud- denly and refused to go on. Spec- tators shouted advice while riders in the prairie schooner implored the mules to move. Finally two col- legians mounted the animal’s backs and succeeded in starting them again, ‘midst cheers and laughter. Mr. ‘Truman’s last official act at the convention was to participate in the dedication of a memorial plaque to the memory of former Vice-President Alben W. Barkley, who died of a heart attack in 1956 while delivering the keynote ad- dress at the Mock Convention in Lexington. The plaque was pre- sented by the Washington and Lee student body. Organization and planning of the convention was ably carried out by a steering committee of five law school students and two under- graduates, who had worked all year in planning the project. They were: Charles L. McCormick, III, chair- man; F. William Ling, Thomas B. Bryant, II, Thomas B. Branch, III, Warren H. Goodwyn, Peyton B. Winfree, III, and Jon B. McLin. Senator HENRY M. JACKSON 11 New Financial Aid Program Is Established BROAD NEW student financial A aid program will go into effect at Washington and Lee in Septem- ber. Named to direct the new _ pro- gram is James D. Farrar, '49, assis- tant dean of students for eight years, who now becomes Director of Student Financial Aid and Schol- arships. The plan will offer expanded scholarship aid and loan assistance to a substantially increased number of students, President Fred C. Cole said. Key feature of the program is a student loan system through which a student can borrow up to five- eighths of the cost of his college education from Washington and Lee, with the remaining three- eighths covered by outright schol- arship assistance. The ratio of scholarship and loan aid will vary in accordance with funds available and experience with the program. Dr. Cole said he hoped the pro- gram eventually will place a Wash- ington and Lee education within the grasp of a greater number of superior high school graduates, re- gardless of their financial resources. As director, Mr. Farrar will work with the existing faculty scholar- ship committee in all matters in- volving scholarships, student loan funds, and campus and off-campus job opportunities for students. President Cole emphasized that the loan plan will supplement, not replace, Washington and Lee’s cur- rent strong program of endowed scholarships. Endowed scholarship assistance will provide 41 freshmen entering in September with aid 12 JAmes D. Farrar, °49, program director totaling $33,080 for the 1960-61 school year. ‘This year, 200 Wash- ington and Lee undergraduates— 20 per cent of the enrollment—re- ceived $155,115 in university ad- ministered aid, an average of $775 per student. Seventeen 1960-61 applicants for scholarship help have been offered combination scholarship-loans un- der the new aid program. President Cole explained the scholarship-loan system this way: An applicant will have 75 per cent of his needs covered by schol- arship funds and 25 per cent by a loan during his freshman year. As a sophomore, the division will be 50-50, and as a junior he will re- ceive only 25 per cent scholarship aid, but 75 per cent loan assistance. His senior year all help will be on a loan basis. Loans will be made on a basis of three per cent, with no interest charged while the student is in school. ‘The graduate has ten years in which to pay off his indebted- ness, President Cole said. He said the system is similar to loan programs now in use at other colleges, and is also similar to the federal aid to education loan. sys- tem. The president, who helped set up a similar program when he was aca- demic vice-president of ‘Tulane University, said the venture will be bound by “no rigid rules.” “We shall be establishing princi- ples now,’ he pointed out. “We shall need to learn from experience. I see no reason why such a scholar- ship-loan system, continued on a proper basis, cannot become as good as any in this country.” He said during the early stages of its application, the program will benefit largely high-qualified schol- arship applicants for whom there are not enough endowed scholar- ships to go around. As resources be- come available, Washington and Lee hopes to be able to extend scholarship loans to more and more applicants who need assistance to attend. “As always, we shall expect the student to pay as much of his own expense as possible,” President Cole declared. “But if we can move ahead in this program, we shall be able to say to any student in the United States that if he wants to come to Washington and Lee and if he can meet our normal entrance requirements, he can come despite any economic limitations he may have.” THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Capital Fund Drive Passes ‘Two Million Mark VER TWO AND ONE-HALF years () ago, Washington and Lee University began its first concerted campaign for capital funds. Exten- sive preliminary surveys to deter- mine the University’s long range expenditures gave priority to the construction and equipping of a new building for physics, biology, geology, an addition to Howe Hall for modern efficiency in teaching chemistry, and the renovation or remodeling of Reid Hall for jour- nalism and pre-engineering. Since the drive for capital funds began in July, 1958, gifts have been received from over 4,000 alumni, parents, and friends of the Univer- sity from all over the country. The co-operative progress which these gifts represent was realized when it was announced on May 81 that the campaign for capital funds had passed the $2,000,000 mark. Of this amount $1,500,000 has been designated for new physics, geol- ogy, biology, pre-engineering and journalism facilities toward the goal of $2,000,000 for these build- ings. Approximately $500,000 has been donated to the University’s endowment, the income to be used chiefly for scholarships and faculty salaries. Campaigns involving intensive solicitation were planned for 44 different geographical areas which had a concentration of 100 or more alumni, friends, and parents. Of these 44 areas, 37 have been com- SUMMER 1960 pleted or are now in the active so- licitation stage. Area campaigns are planned for San Francisco and Los Angeles, California, during August.

Coe and their family University News g THE LEE HOUSE, home of Wash- ington and Lee’s presidents since 1869, has undergone extensive re- pair and remodeling work during the past months. ‘The job of pre- serving the home as an_ historical landmark began last fall and was completed in time for President Fred CG. Cole and his family to move into during early May. Original cost of the house was $15,000, and money for its construc- tion was raised through public sub- scription throughout the country. 14 It is thought that General Robert E. Lee planned much of the house, with the assistance of his son, Gen- eral George Washington Custis Lee. The two-story brick Greek Revival home looks today much the same on the exterior as it did g1 years ago. The house had advanced ideas for its time, about heating and cool- ing. The walls were built in three layers of brick, with air space be- tween the second and third layers— a natural insulation. ‘There was also a system of vents which could be opened and closed by small latches. In shoring up the home, work- men repaired and replaced timbers, added supports in the basement, and made extensive repairs to the interior walls and floors. ‘The ex- terior brick work and mortar were in good condition and were not touched. The house has been air-condt- tioned on the first and second floors, and modern conveniences ad- ded to make the dwelling more livable. However, as much as_ pos- sible was done to retain the tradi- tional atmosphere of the historic structure. s THE BINOCULARS used by General Robert E. Lee throughout the Civ- il war have been presented to Lee Museum here, the gift of Mrs. George Bolling Lee of San Francis- co, California, widow of General Lee’s grandson. The field glasses are still in ex- cellent condition. Apparently the binoculars did not fit the leather case as well as General Lee wished, for a wadding of paper in the bot- tom of the case was found. ‘The pa- per was a blank Confederate Army printed form, entitled ‘Enlisted Men on Extra or Day Duty.” m AN HISTORICAL study of education- al techniques through the ages has been written by Dr. Edward D. Myers, chairman of the department of philosophy. His book, “Eudca- tion in Perspective of History,” was written against the background of Arnold J. ‘Toynbee’s monumental “A Study of History,” and the not- ed British philosopher-historian has provided the concluding chapter to the book. Dr. Myers and Professor ‘Toynbee are personal friends, having col- laborated on an eleventh, gazetteer, volume to ‘Toynbee’s “Study of History.” Since 1958, Dr. Myers has been on leave as cultural attache THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE for the U.S. Information Agency at the American Embassy in Bonn, Germany. The book, published by Harper and Brothers, deals with civiliza- tion’s methuds of handing down the accumulated experience, knowl- edge, and wisdom of humanity from generation to generation, trac- ing cultural heritages through nine- teen societies over the past 5,000 years. Dr. Myers will return from Bonn in September, to resume his teach- ing duties here. m DR. WILLIAM M. HINTON, 29, head of the department of education and psychology, has been chosen presi- dent-elect of the Southern Society for Philosophy and Psychology. He will succeed Dr. Rubin Gotesby of the University of Georgia, when the group meets next year at At- lanta, Georgia. Dr. Hinton served the organiza- tion as treasurer in 1952-54, and since 1957 has been a member of the executive council. a “PRELUDE FOR STRINGS,” a compo- sition by a Washington and Lee professor, was heard recently at a composers’ conference and sympos- ium at the University of Alabama. The prelude is the work of Rob- ert Stewart, assistant professor of fine arts, and is scored for a full symphonic string orchestra. The specially augmented University of Alabama Symphony played the work, directed by Julius Hegyi, conductor of the Chattanooga Symphony. Stewart was, before com- ing to Washington and Lee, on the stall of the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago for fourteen years. HB SEVEN NEW additions to the fac- ulty will join the University on September 1. They are: Dr. James S. Patty, Romance languages; Dr. Cecil D. Eby, Jr., English; Douglas T’. Day, English; James Boatwright, III, English; David B. Dickens, Ger- SUMMER 1960 man; Clarence E. Roberts, geology; and H. Gordon Williams, Jr. mathematics. B FIVE MEMBERS OF the University faculty are abroad this summer, studying and touring Europe or South America. Dr. William W. Pusey, III, new Dean of the College, took part in a month-long study tour of West Germany and West Berlin, as guest of the West German government, along with a group of other Ameri- can professors. Dr. Edgar W. Spencer, geology department head, is spending the summer in research in Europe, on a John M. Glenn grant. He will at- tend the International Geological Congress in Copenhagen August 10-25, and will take part in a field trip to Norway and Sweden. Associate professor G. Francis Drake is studying French drama in Paris. Dr. Allen W. Moger is study- ing at the University of London. Dr. Charles W. Turner is leading a tour this summer through South American countries. # A HIGH HONOR from the Garden Club of Virginia was bestowed in May upon Frank J. Gilliam, ’17, dean of students, and Mrs. Gilliam for their “outstanding contribu- tion” toward making the state “a more beautiful place.” They were jointly awarded the Massie Award for 1960, an award for outstanding achievement in horticulture. Mrs. Gilliam is a former presi- dent of the Garden Club of Vir- ginia and has served many years on its restoration committee. The citation said, in part, “Theirs has been a lifetime devoted to man’s most rewarding recreation of growing and living beauty, horti- culture, and they have started un- told hundreds of people down this happy road....” Only once before has the 31-year- old award been given to a husband and wife team. Usually it goes to a member club of the group. m BEGINNING NEXT year, undergrad- uate tuition wil be raised by $50 per year over a projected five year period, with the increased income being applied to faculty salaries, scholarship and loan asssitance for deserving students, and to other areas of the instructional program. Under a schedule approved by the Board of Trustees, the tuition rate will continue $750 in 1960-61, but will be raised to $800 in 10961- 62; $850 the following year, and so on til $1,000 is reached in 1965-66. This schedule is subject to revision by the board, if conditions change significantly, President Fred C. Cole said. With the new schedule in effect, all existing laboratory fees are due for abolishment. These range any- where from five to thirty-six dol- lars per year. When Washington and Lee’s tui- tion level reaches $1,000 per year, it will be in line or below average undergraduate tuition costs already in effect in comparable colleges and universities in the South, East, and Midwest, Dr. Cole pointed out. Dr. NATHAN M. Pusey, president of Har- vard, as he delivered the convocation ad- dress at the Inauguration on May 7. 15 mw COMPANIES SEEKING new personnel from among the 1960 graduates ex- ercised more selectivity this year, re- ports placement director James D. Farrar, ‘40. He noted a tendency among many firms to make fewer job of- fers, but the offers generally were more attractive and seemed de- signed to interest and hold the very best men of the class. Grades were not a major consideration—firms were looking for evidences of ma- turity and an eagerness to locate permanently in a promising field. About 75 of the 180 academic seniors signed up with the place- ment office for interviews this year, Mr. Farrar said. Starting salaries were up slightly from last year’s offers, with the av- erage around $425 monthly. m THE SAP WAS beginning to rise in the shade trees around Washington and Lee’s campus on April 27, which might have passed like any April 27, except that a group of students discovered it was the 138th birthday of Ulysses S. Grant. So, “just to even things up a bit,” as one participant explained, the gay undergraduates celebrated the birthday in high style at the school once headed by Grant’s Civil War foe. A cake with 138 candles was served from in front of Lee Chapel, and banners reading “Happy Birth- day, Ulysses” were strung in front of the chapel and from the fresh- man dormitory. ‘This was a “nice” thing to do, one student said, since Washington and Lee always ob- serves Lee’s birthday with a _ holli- day. m JAMES NEAL HARDIN, ’60,_ of Greeneville, Tennessee, was named a Fulbright Scholar for 1960-61, to study German literature at the Free University of Berlin. His grant was one of some goo awards for gradu- ate study abroad made under the State Department’s International 16 Educational Exchange Program. He was a Phi Beta Kappa member and a German major at Washington and Lee. from Washington and Lee underwent summer training exercises at Fort Knox, Kentucky, for six weeks this summer. They were part of a bri- gade of 1,248 college students and recent graduates taking part in the training period. Eight of the June graduates were commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Army Reserve at the conclusion of camp. FIFTY-ONE ROTC cadets mw THE 1960 CALYX was dedicated to Dr. Clayton Epes Williams, ‘12, who retired in June as dean of the Law School, after a 40-year career as a teacher here. The dedication read, “In every university there are professors who will be remembered long after the knowledge which they have impart- ed becomes merely a link in the long chain of life education. Clay- ton Epes Williams, ... realizes this ideal. In his many years of out- standing service to Washington and Lee, Dean Williams, has earned both the respect and admiration of his students and colleagues as an educator, an administrator, and an individual. “His tireless efforts and unceas- ing guidance have been responsible for a new phase in the history of our Law School. Since becoming Dean in 1944, he has brought about vast improvements in the curricu- lum, the facilities, and in the qual- ity of teaching. The fine showing of Washington and Lee’s moot court teams, which during the past few years have consistently ranked very high nationally; the completion last year of the Davis Law Dormitory, which has long been one of his coveted goals; and the introduc- tion of the John Randolph ‘Tucker Lectures, which have attracted to our campus some of the nation’s foremost judges, attorneys, and edu- cators, are but a few of the mani- fold achievements exemplary of the career of this Bradford Professor of Law. “Retirement this year of Dr. Wil- liams...marks the end of a forty year association with Washington and Lee University.

BOZEMAN, 1960's top honor law graduate, has been named the national “graduate of the year” by Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity. He was one of fifteen honor graduates nominated from the fraternity’s provinces in the United States and Canada. Among finalists were students from Yale, ‘Tulane, Ohio State, San Francisco, Emory and other colleges. Frank is from Warrington, Flor- ida. He was graduated summa cum laude from the University of the South at Sewanee, and won a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship. He earned a master’s degree in foreign affairs at the University of Vir- ginia. At Washington and Lee, he was editor-in-chief of the Law Re- view, and compiled a straight “A” average in all his courses. He was elected to the Order of the Coif. He headed Phi Delta Phi’s Tucker Inn during his senior year. He is now affiliated with the firm of Younge, Beggs, and Lane in Pensacola, Florida. m OSIE H. GAY, JR. with twenty-two years of service in the Navy behind him, is now starting another ca- reer—that of a student of law. Now gg years old, he entered the service at 17, just after he gradu- ated from Maury High School in Norfolk, Virginia. He planned to stay in for several years, gather some savings, and then go to col- lege. But World War II came along, then the Korean War, and he de- cided to “go for twenty years.” A chief boatswain’s mate, he stayed in two years beyond his goal. He gathered college credits when- ever possible. When he was in port, he would swap duty watches with shipmates, to be free for night school. He took courses at William and Mary in Norfolk, ‘Temple Uni- versity, and Lake Forest College. SUMMER 1960 “I’m tired of rolling,” Mr. Gay declared. “I want to settle down now and work for myself.” A native of Ocean View, he plans to live on Lynnhaven Bay near Norfolk, after graduation. He has now completed one semes- ter of law school, and looks for- ward to resuming his study in Sep- tember. He and his mother are tak- ing an apartment in the pre-fabs at Lexington. ® HUGH V. WHITE, JR. 1s editor-in- chief of the Law Review for the fall semester. He is a 1954 graduate of Virginia Military Institute, and will graduate in February, 1961. He has been a member of the Law Review staff for three semesters, and also chairmans the Moot Court Commit- tee. He is an officer of Phi Alpha Delta and a member of the Law School Board of Governors. m A. DISTINGUISHED alumnus and four seniors were elected to mem- bership in the Order of the Coif in late April.

Malone, ’32, of Roswell, New Mexico, president of the American Bar Association in 1958- 59; and student initiates Frank C. Bozeman, Nicholas W. Bath, Wil- liam H. Abeloff, and Manley P. Caldwell, Jr. m CY’ TWOMBLY was just about the most pepped up man in Lexington on the morning of July 5. He greet- ed nearly everyone he met with his big, wide grin and a_ loud-voice, ‘How about those Washington and Lee boys!” He was talking of Ned Baber, ’59, of Richmond, and Frank Summers, Jv., 52, of Staunton. Baber, 23, had just won the Virginia State Ama- teur Golf Championship with a tremendous, 1-up victory in a Fourth of July finals that went 39 holes over the famous Cascades Course at Hot Springs. Summers, 29, was the tourney’s medalist in the qualifying rounds with a two- under par 69, only the second sub- 70 qualifying score posted in re- cent years. Both young men had played on Washington and Lee’s varsity golf team under ‘Twombly, and Baber was the captain of the team that posted a g-2 mark in dual matches and went on to win the state col- legiate championship in 1959. Sum- mers, who was a three-year letter- man in baseball before turning to golf while in law school, played only one season for ‘Twombly. Cy remembers him as the only boy he ever coached to win eleven matches without a defeat. Baber, now a banking trainee in Richmond but a native of Lynch- burg, had an easy time of it through his first four matches in the 64-play- er championship flight. But in the semi-finals, he never led until the 20th hole, when he blasted out of a trap to within a balls’ turn of 17 the cup and edged Ronnie Gerring- er, the state high school champion. Up against another teenager, Wright Garrett of Danville, in the finals, Baber grabbed a four-up lead after the first 18, but saw his ad- vantage fade when Garrett won the three final holes to pull all even after 36 holes. Garrett’s hole-win- ning putt on the 36th went past the cup, stopped, and then rolled back several inches to drop. But Baber wasn’t shaken, and_ three extra holes later, he rolled in a 14-inch putt for his big victory. Summers whose medalist honors at Hot Springs and a recent third- place finish in the State Open make him one of Virginia’s hottest ama- teurs, went out in the fourth round against Garrett. The summer golf triumphs of Twombly’s former stars were some measure of consolation for the Washington and Lee coach whose 1960 varsity team stumbled to a so- SO, 4-2-2 season, and a fifth-place state tournament finish. Highlight of the season was the crackerjack play of sophomore Jack Vardaman. He was medalist in the Greenbrier college tournament and a_ co- medalist in the state affair. The big news in college sports this spring was the continued out- standing performance of Karl “Skip” Rohnke, whose — record- breaking javelin marks led the Generals to an _ undefeated, 7-0, dual meet season in track. Rohnke, a_ broad - shouldered Southern Californian, established a new school javelin record with a throw of 211 feet, 3 inches. Com- peting against some of the best men in the country in several invitation- al relays, he failed to win any first places, but he was always among the top three or four. For his efforts, which during his four Years at Washington and Lee earned him four letters each in soccer, swimming, and __ track, Rohnke was accorded the top ath- letic honors the school bestows. 18 NED BABER, 759, reflects on a championship putt He was named “most valuable athlete of the year,” and he won the Forest Fletcher Memorial Track award for the third time. But perhaps the biggest tribute of all was his winning the Francis ‘T. “Wink” Glasgow II Memorial ‘Tro- phy, awarded the senior “who has best displayed Washington and Lee spirit and sportsmanship over his four-year college career.” In other sports, Coach Bill Wash- burn’s tennis team won 8, lost only 3, and got superlative play from juniors Billy McWilliams and Clark Valentiner. Other spring sports suffered long seasons. Coach Bob McHenry’s lacrosse men boasted two jim- dan- dies in midfielder Jay Stull and at- tack man Skip Horst, but the rest of the squad generally lack exper- ience. The final record of 2 wins, 6 losses and a tie doesn’t reflect the heights the team did arise to on occasion. Washington and Lee’s baseball fortunes began a long, hard road back to respectability under new coach Joe Lyles. ‘The team lacked consistent hitting in the early sea- son, but junior right-hander Roy Carpenter again was a better pitch- er than his winless record reflected. Carpenter lost four one-run decis- ions, and his earned-run average was one of the lowest in the state. Junior Phil Sharp, another right- hander, won all three of the Gen- erals’ victories, including a heroic 13-Inning 1-0 victory over West Virginia in the season finale. Coach Lyles, a former professional pit- cher, is taking consolation in the fact that most of his 1960 boys will return next year and that this sea- son’s 3-17 record was better than the 1-15 mark posted in 1959. Looking ahead to fall and foot- ball, there’s an atmosphere of ex- pectant optimism at Washington and Lee. ‘The Generals face a nine- game schedule—the same opponents as 1959 with the addition of Johns Hopkins—and the season should be a winning one if things go as plan- ned. Thirty-three of the 1959 squad of 38 varsity players are scheduled to return, and there are some val- uable reinforcements on hand from last year’s frosh squad, as well as a good crop of 1960 freshmen. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE | em Ms ———S The Alumni Association President Says: Continued Progress Depends Upon Support By Pryton B. WINFREE, ‘35 HIS MEETING marks the end of my third year as a member of the Alumni Board of Trustees and my one year in which I have served as your President. During this peri- od I have considered myself most fortunate to have had the pleasant association, to have met the inter- esting and challenging projects and to have had the intimate contact with the affairs of the University. The Alumni Board has been very busy about the affairs of your As- sociation. In addition to the regu- lar fall and spring meetings, your Board of ‘Trustees has had two spe- cial meetings with a committee from the University Board of ‘Trus- tees to review chiefly the relation- ship of the Alumni Association to the University and its Board of Trustees and to foster a continued and enlivened liason between the two organizations. I should like to say that the members of the Alumni Board have tried to represent the varied views of alumni but with due regard for the responsibility of the constituted authorities. It has seemed to us that the proper func- tion of an alumni association is to act as a counsellor, not fostering discord but remembering always that this is our University through thick and thin. I am pleased to re- port that these meetings with the University Committee have met with much progress and to point out that our University President, Dr. Cole, has been at these meet- ings and contributed greatly to their success. In conjunction with this review SUMMER 1960 of relationship, we are engaged in a project to revise and adjust the By-Laws of the Association. At this stage of deliberation, however, there is nothing definite to report. The Executive Secretary and the Alumni office staff, in addition to the absolute maze of regular duties, have been in the midst of strenuous activities with cooperating efforts in the University Development Pro- gram and in the recent outstanding inauguration ceremonies. At this last mentioned event, I might add, there were some one hundred alum- ni delegates representing each chapter, each class, each geograph- ic area and among whom were four or more university presidents. As reported by the Secretary, I am glad to say that the Alumni Fund, sparked by the Fund Coun- PEYTON WINFREE, President, 1959-60 cil, has been successful in view of its curtailed and limited operations. The mere fact that this Fund Cam- paign was conducted under limited conditions and to only certain cate- gories of alumni, imposed some dif- ficult tasks on the office staff and Secretary. The reactivation of our Alumni Fund is of utmost import- ance. For the continued progress of this proudly independent university depends increasingly upon _ the steady, annual, and generous sup- port of her alumni. I hope that each of us, as we complete our pledge or obligation to the Build- ing Campaign, will renew with in- creased interest and vigor our reg- ular schedule of giving to the Alumni Fund. Finally, I might report that while the much discussed Alumni House is not yet a reality, we have man- aged to keep the idea alive in the thinking of the University and in view of its development plans. In light of these plans and the general welfare of the University we are hopeful this thinking will be fruit- ful. In closing, I might project this thought: If the success of a college were measured, as is success in a business, by the number of satisfied customers, then Washington and Lee would be considered a “blue chip stock,” for I surely believe it would be difficult to find anyone who graduated or attended this in- stitution for any length of time who does not feel grateful, proud, and honored to be an alumnus of this University. 19 The Alumni Secretary Reports: Another Successful Year for the Association By WILLiAM C. WASHBURN, '40 HIS IS THE second time I have ‘T been privileged to bring the alumni a brief report and happily it is again a report of continued progress. ‘his year’s report is marked, I think, by several signif- icant events, the most important of which was the change in Univer- sity administration culminating in the inauguration of President Cole on May ¥. First of all, organizational wise, our association has prospered. This time last year I reported a newly in- stalled chapter in Hagerstown, Maryland. ‘This chapter is now well established and, I might add, Presi- dent Cole is scheduled to meet with that chapter on June 10. We now have 37 chapters, all of whom have had at least one meeting and most of whom have had many meetings of great interest and with fine spirit. At this moment there is movement under foot to install two new chap- ters— one in the Wilmington, Dela- ware area, the other in Tulsa, Okla- homa. ‘Though the summer, due to vacations, is a hard time to organize such things—much ground work has been done and we hope to have these two chapters in operation next school year. MANY VISITATIONS By virtue of the University De- velopment Program and its cam- paign in various areas, I have been, 20 along with Dr. Gaines or President Cole and James Whitehead, quite busy in visitations to these chap- ters. It has been my _ pleasure now to have visited all but one of our chapters and this one is on the schedule for this summer or early September. While on the subject of University Development, I would like this opportunity to express publicly my deep appreciation for the splendid cooperation of Jim Whitehead and his Development staff. They have worked hand in glove with the Alumni Office and have been a maximum value to the alumni chapters and their activities. New President PAUL M. SHUFORD, "43 I have nothing but highest praise and deepest thanks for all their help. The mere momentum of this program is bringing about renewed interest and vigor in the alumni chapters. Of particular worthy note, is the practice of the chapters to help in admissions and recruitment of promising boys for Washington Lee. Practically all now have a pro- gram for active work on this; also, to assist the University in seeking and awarding young men_ with scholarship aid. Often the chapters invite to their meetings the boys who have been accepted for admis- sion, as well as their parents. In some cases this year, such as in Memphis and Baltimore, chapters have helped sponsor community programs of utmost importance and have assisted such University or- ganizations as the Glee Club to put on programs in their town or area. All of these activities, I assure you, are of infinite value to your alma mater. FUND REACTIVATION During this past year it became evident that it was expedient to re- activate the Alumni Fund even though the Development Campaign had not been completed. The Alumni Fund Council, under Dick Smith, met in November on short notice and under their guidance THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE and direction a plan was estab- lished, designed not to interfere with the Development Campaign. All alumni were separated by cate- gories: (1) those who were under pledge to the Development Cam- paign, (2) those who had made a gift and completed it, (3) and those who had the opportunity to make a gift but who had not. This was no easy task, I assure you, when each day new receipts would change the situation. Some mistakes and over- lapping occurred; we hope not many and we are indeed sorry where they did. Through all of this, the Development Office cooperated to the fullest extent. My hat is off to our wonderful group of Class Agents who so quick- ly came to our aid and who so splendidly wrote not only to those members of their class who were considered eligible for the fund but also a letter of greetings to each of their classmates. This action result- ed in the strengthening of class ties and the maintenance of our Class Agent Plan. Also, four of these agents were most instrumental in promoting the Class Reunions which I'll mention later. As of May 31, (the Fund year does not close until June 30) the Alumni Fund has a record of 707 contributors and $19,564.44. While this is a long way from our record of the last full scale campaign of some 3300 contributors and nearly $100,000.00, in view of the circum- stances I think there is room for satisfaction and encouragement. Keep in mind that in the past two years the alumni of this college have supported the Development Program with a record of 3,859 con- tributors for $1,027,417.00. Inciden- tally, I might add that the total figure for the Development Fund as of this date is $2,035,000.00. These figures have not been audit- ed, as that will be done later, but as far as our records indicate, this is the picture so far and one of which IJ think we can all be proud. SUMMER 1960 Dr. JOHN D. BATTLE, ’34, was elected to Alumni Board of Trustees. STUDENT RELATIONS There are many other activities on which I could comment at some length but for sake of brevity I would just like to mention our Student-Relation area in which we participate at freshman camp and make an award to the boy who up- holds the tradition of knowing the most names; Homecoming, where the Association makes four awards to the winners of the fraternity house decoration contest; our ban- quet in May in honor of the seniors. These phases grow increas- ingly important each year. Our annual Anniversary Class Reunions are now an established program. Following the desires of the majority of our members who felt that 25 years was a long time to wait for a special class reunion, we began this year with our first Tenth year convocation and reun- ion. It was a great success! In fact, the whole reunion, which saw four classes back on campus, was won- derfully supported and was a high- light of the year. One final comment about our Alumni Magazine. This is the wid- est channel of communication be- tween alumni themselves and the WILLIAM B. WIspom, ’21, was elected to Alumni Board of Trustees. University. Our mailing today is roughly 10,600 per issue. ‘This year we put out a fifth issue which was devoted almost entirely to scholar- ships, what part alumni could play, and what help they could give. We have tried to keep you abreast of the news and affairs of the Univer- sity and of your fellow classmates and alumni. My deep appreciation goes to Mrs. Jeffrey, our managing editor, and Mr. Harold Lauck of our printing laboratory for their interest and cooperation. In closing please let me try very simply to extend my thanks to all who have helped. It’s dangerous to list, and I hope I shall not over- look any: but first, let me congratu- late you on your officers who have given unselfishly of their time and talents. My thanks to the Admin- istration and faculty and especially President Cole; to the Development Office, the Faculty-Alumni Commit- tee; to the Class Agents, the Chap- ter Officers—and in fact to each alumnus, I extend my deep appre- ciation. And to my office staff, a special thanks. I have enjoyed this year of pro- gress and look forward with pleas- ure to the coming year. a1 New Officers Announced General Alumni Association Meeting Is Held on June 2, 1960 HE GENERAL ALUMNI Association meeting was held on June g, 1960, in duPont auditorium, with a good representation of alumni present. Peyton S. Winfree, ’35, president of the association, pre- sided. Reports of the president, execu- tive secretary, and treasurer were read (as printed on other pages in this magazine). In the absence of E. Angus Powell, ’36, chairman of the Nominating Committee, Bernard Levin, ’42, read the names of the two nominees for the Alumni Board of Trustees for a three-year term: William B. Wisdom, ’21, of New Orleans; and Dr. John D. Bat- tle, 34, of Cleveland; for represen- tative on the University Committee on Intercollegiate Athletics, to serve two years: A. Lea Booth, ’40, of Lynchburg, Virginia. These men were elected by acclamation. At the call for new business, Dr. Amos L. Herold, ’og, of Austin, Texas, spoke briefly and presented eleven resolutions in behalf of his contention that the Association should be independent from the University, as follows: “Whereas the Alumni Associa- tion, Inc., of Washington and Lee University in its regular annual ses- selon of 1960 in Lexington, Vir- ginia, has learned the full signif- icance of a Resolution Adopted by the Alumni Board of Trustees 22 on October 25, 1952, which violates the 1910 Charter of the Association and commits it to continuous beg- _ gary and and near bankruptcy un- worthy of its membership; now therefore, be it resolved by the As- sociation. “1. That the Alumni Board of ‘Trustees is hereby instructed to re- scind the aforesaid Resolution; and that, beginning July 1, 1960, all funds collected by the authority and in the name of this Associa- tion by its officers and agents and all other undesignated income shall be deposited to the credit of the Alumni Association, Inc., in a re- liable bank of Lexington, Virginia, for the payment of the Association’s necessary operating expenses. “2. ‘That, at the end of this pres- ent fiscal year on June 30, 1960, and annually thereafter, any bal- ance remaining to the credit of this Association shall be held as a sur- plus, year by year, until the total savings amount to $100,000 or more, which may then be used for acquiring an Alumni Headquarters Building and its endowment. “9. That near the end of each fiscal year, a committee consisting of the President, Secretary, and ‘Treasurer of this Association shall prepare a detailed budget of the As- sociation’s business for the follow- ing year for the approval of the Alumni Board of Trustees at its first annual session; and that an- nual audits be made. “4. That hereafter the Alumni Editor shall promptly publish in the Alumni Magazine all Resolu- tions and By-Laws affecting vital alumni business and interests for the information of alumni mem- bers, and shall seek to improve the Alumni Magazine as suggested in ‘Constructive Proposals.’ “5. That, to avoid disfranchising many alumni who live at a distance from the University, voting by proxy shall be re-established in the Charter and By-Laws. “6. That the Board of Trustees is hereby instructed to revise By- Law Article VII (b), which defines the powers of the Treasurer of this Corporation, by striking out the destructive provision, ‘except as otherwise provided by action of the Board of Trustees.’ “7. That the prohibition in the By-Laws limiting Trustees to one term shall be removed for the bene- fit of this Association, and that it pay the traveling expenses of Trus- tees to Board Meetings. “8.

He moved further that Dr. Herold be thanked for his in- terest. The motion was unanimous- ly approved. New officers of the association were announced for the year 1960- 61 as follows: president, Paul M. Shuford, ’43; vice-president, Ber- nard Levin, ’42; treasurer, James B. Martin, ’31. Mr. Shuford spoke briefly, ex- plaining that the Alumni Board has under consideration a plan to enlarge the membership of the Board and extend their terms of of- fice. A formal proposal for a change in the charter may be ready by the next meeting, he said. He also stat- ed that greater emphasis is being directed toward a more active pro- gram within the chapters and _ be- tween the chapters and the Unz1- versity. He said, in answer to Dr. Herold, that annual budgets for the Association are made up and the books are audited each year.

Mr. Arnold is now a Kentucky lawyer and a real estate developer, but old friends at Washington and Lee recall that he was a pretty fair runner himself, when he was a colt at the University. Chauncy Durden’s column in the Richmond Times Dispatch reprint- ed in part below, explains that Jor ARNOLD, head of the syndicate that recently bought Ballyache for $2,250,000 was a pretty fair runner himself when he was a colt at Wash- ington and Lee. Mr. Arnold is now a Kentucky lawyer and real estate developer. Arnold, a native of Danville, Ky., was “recruited” for Washing- ton and Lee the summer of 1932 by Charles McDowell, professor of law at Washington and Lee. Professor McDowell had taught (and coached basketball) at Centre College in Danville before becoming a mem- ber of Washington and Lee’s Law faculty. Each summer Professor Mc- Dowell returned to Danville with his family. During these summer va- cations in Kentucky the professor “influenced” several good Kentucky athletes to enroll at Washington and Lee. Columnist McDowell, recalling those boyhood days, said “Every time we returned from Danville (to Lexington, Va.) Dad had one or two Kentucky boys in the car with 24 the four of us.”’ (Professor and Mrs. McDowell, Charles, Jr., and John.) Warren E. “Tex” Tilson, who coached the Washington and Lee football teams during the ’30’s, said of Professor McDowell’s “recruit- 99 ing. Joe ARNOLD, ’37L “Mr. McDowell helped me more when I was coaching than any other person I can think of.” Just how good a football player was Arnold? Well, it will be remembered that the strangest of all football jersey numerals was once reserved for Washington and Lee’s backs of out- standing promise. That jersey was oo. The first wearer of the double-O jersey was Joe Arnold, who was the star of the 1933-34-35 W&L teams, one of which (1935) won the South- ern Conference championship. How did the oo jersey come about? “We were in the gym one night,” Tilson recalled, “ordering uniforms for the season. Arnold had played superbly the season before and we were confident he was going to have an extra good year. Someone had the idea that there should be some- thing distinctive about Joe’s uni- form, something similar, Say, to Red Grange’s famous 77 jersey number. But the double jersey numbers— 22, 33, and the like—had become commonplace for outstand- ing backs. We were stumped until a fellow—I forget who—came up with the oo number. An oo numeral would be distinctive, all right, and we had it sewn on Arnold’s jersey. As far as could be ascertained, only two other Washington and Lee players wore the oo jersey— Dick Pinck, perhaps the finest all- round athletic prospect Washing- ton and Lee had seen since Cy THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Degrees Awarded, 1959-60 October January June 1959 1960 1960 Previous Total Year Bacher ol Laws 20... 1 11 26 38 37 Bachelor of Science (Commerce) 0 5 25 30 43 Bachelor of Science 1 O 24 25 29 Bachelor of Arts 5 QO. £22°° 180° 419 7 25.107, 220, 225 Young, and Ed Marx, a brilliant Tilson said Arnold’s fumble prospect who broke a leg as a fresh- man and was handicapped _ there- after. The double-o jersey was discard- ed when Washington and Lee be- gan fielding football teams after World War II. Tilson said Arnold’s best game may have been the one he played against Princeton in 1934. Prince- ton in those days was coached by Fritz Crisler, and ruled the East. From 1933 through 1935, the ‘Tigers lost but one game (a 7-0 upset by Yale in 1934) and won 25 games. The 1933 and 1935 Princeton teams compiled g-o records. Washington and Lee gave the un- beaten 1933 Princeton team its closest game of the season (6-0) and led the 1934 Tigers until the final minutes of the game. With Arnold starring all the way, the Generals led Princeton 12-7, with time running out. Prince- ton was forced to punt and Arnold was playing safety for the Gener- als. Arnold fumbled the punt as he was hit by All-American guard Weller and end Lea. Princeton re- covered the ball on Washington and Lee’s 36 and scored in the final minute to win, 14-12. Talking about the game and his fumble, Arnold _ said _ recently, “Everything I had tried came off that day, so I never gave a thought to a fair catch or playing it safe. The way I was going it might have been a touchdown.” SUMMER 1960 should not have affected the out- come of the game. “We scored an- other touchdown which was called back when it should not have been. We'd put in a play where the full- back took the snap, charged up to the line, suddenly stopped, wheel- ed and pitched back to the half- back coming around from the wing. Arnold was the halfback who took the pitch from the fullback and he went all the way. But the play fooled the officials as well as Prince- ton and we got a penalty instead of a touchdown. Double-o Arnold, when a colt, must have been a right fair run- ner himself. Alumni Sons—Class of 1964 Entering as freshmen this September are 35 sons of alumni.

W, CASH, JR., 15; who has won many awards during his lifetime, capped his prizes on June 3, 1960 when he was presented the 1960 Distinguished Service Award from the Virginia section of the American Chemical Society. A dinner was held in his honor in Richmond by the Virginia chemists. His citation read, “The Virginia Section of the American Chemical Society has the honor of presenting its 1960 Distinguished — Service Award to William Waugh Cash, Jr., in recognition of his inspira- tional contributions to the teaching of high school chemistry in Vir- ginia.”’ Mr. Cash, a former chief chemist and metallurgist for E.
