O YOU REMEMBER back in 1903, when the captain of the Washington and Lee football team, a center named Thomas Green “Tubby” Stone, designed the W. and L. monogram, a trident, which the University has used ever since? “Tubby” was a great athlete—captain of the Albert Sidney crew, the track team, and the grid team, and reflected credit to his alma mater. It was not until 1951, however, that he was honored for his design. In ceremonies at his home in Union Mills, North Carolina, “Tubby” was awarded a plaque from the Alumni Association. Participants were, left to right, above: Mrs. Stone; J. Davis Kerr, ’24; H. J. Blackford, a7 WS: Phillips, *11; and Wiley B. Hampton, ’og. Mr. Stone, in a short speech of appreciation, pointed out that the trident was patterned after Neptune’s emblem of rulership. Tubby died December 8, 1960, but his memory will live on, emblazoned in the trident worn by Washington and Lee athletes, in the present and future.

The Civil War Centennial WASHINGTON AND LEE MEN HELPED TO START IT IN EARLY Ga MERICA’S GREAT observance of A the Civil War Centennial, a five-year effort to awaken the na- tion to the principles which made it great, has begun, and Washing- ton and Lee University is having a major part in it. While ceremon- les paying tribute to the memory of General U. S. Grant were held re- cently at his tomb in New York, a similar program was taking place in Lee Chapel on the campus of the University where General Robert E. Lee spent his last years. Washington and Lee was repre- sented in another way at the cere- monies at Lexington, for four of the participants were either mem- bers of its faculty or alumni. ‘The principal address was delivered by Dr. Francis Pendleton Gaines, chancellor of the University. He was introduced by Congressman William M. Tuck, ’21, vice-chair- man of the National Civil War Centennial Commission, the agency created by Congress to plan and co- ordinate the Centennial observ- ance. Its liaison officer, Virgil Car- rington Jones, ’30, presided, and was introduced by Dr. William G. Bean, head of the history depart- ment, who had charge of arrange- ments. ‘These programs in New York and at Lexington, dedicated to the senior commanders on opposing sides who became symbolic figures of Americanism during and after the war, formally began the Cen- tennial observance. As projected, it will continue until the last anni- versary of the war in 1965 with a variety of programs, most of them dignified and of a religious nature, and with a few reenactments. A a part of this effort will be aimed at preserving historic records and marking historic sites. The first major battle reenact- ment will take place at Manassas, Virginia, on July 22-23 of this year. V.C. (“Pat”) Jones, ’30, is chairman of the non-profit corporation formed to stage the ceremony. More than 2,000 men, it 1s esti- mated, each wearing authentic uni- forms and carrying authentic weap- ons of the period, will take part. Of additional interest were events scheduled in February at Montgomery, Alabama, to mark the inauguration of Jefferson Da- vis as President of the Confederacy. For seven days the city was occu- pied with religious services, lunch- eons, spectaculars, pyrotechnic dis- plays, essay contests, style shows, and pilgrimages. The highlight of the commemorative ceremonies Oc- curred on February 17, at which time the inauguration of a century ago was authentically reenacted. On March 4 at Washington, D.C., the first inauguration of Ab- raham Lincoln was to be reenacted. This, too, was to be staged in au- thentic detail, beginning with a parade down historic Pennsylvania Avenue, followed by a joint session of Congress at which Raymond Massey, distinguished for his im- personation of Lincoln, -was to de- liver the war President’s inaugural address. Another major observance this year is scheduled for April. ‘This will be a ceremony at Charleston, South Carolina, to call attention to details concerning the firing on Fort Sumter at the start of the war. Participants in the Centennial ceremony here were, left to right: V. C. JonEs, ’30; DR. W. G. BEAN, representing the state Centennial commission; BisHor LLoyp R. CRAIGHILL; Mrs. BACHMAN, president-general of the United Daughters of the Confederacy; CHANCELLOR FRANCIS P. GAINES; REP. WILLIAM M. TUCK, ’21; vice-chairman of national commission. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Science Building To Begin Soon ASHINGTON AND LEE Univer- W sity’s Board of Trustees has authorized the university to proceed with plans to construct a new sci- ence building intended for use in September, 1962. ‘The new structure will house the departments of physics and biology, and will help relieve generally crowded conditions in Howe Hall, the present science building accom- modating the chemistry, geology, and biology departments. Howe Hall will undergo remod- eling and will receive a new wing of classrooms, laboratories, and an observatory as a part of the current building project. President Fred C. Cole said uni- versity architects will submit plans to contractors for bids later this month, and work is expected to get underway in early spring. ‘The project marks the culmina- tion of a two-year University De- velopment Program which began in January, 1959, to raise $2,000,000 for improving Washington and Lee’s facilities for science, journal- ism, and pre-engineering. A total of 4,038 donors have sub- scribed more than the $2,000,000 originally sought, President Cole said, but he added that the fund campaign is continuing. Approxi- WINTER 1961 DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FUNDS WILL FINANCE STRUCTURE mately $500,000 realized through the campaign’s efforts, was desig- nated by donors for scholarships, faculty salaries, and general endow- ment, he explained. (See chart on page 21.) Although additional funds are still needed to equip the new facili- ties, President Cole said sufficient funds are ‘“‘on hand, or in sight’ ’to begin work. “The urgency of the need for im- proved science accommodations has caused the Trustees to decide to proceed,” President Cole said. “We are confident the additional funds will be available when they are re- quired.” President Cole cited a growing interest and competency on the part of Washington and Lee students in science and technology. He said Washington and Lee’s new plans will help give proper emphasis to scientific instruction in the univer- sity’s liberal arts program and en- hance its programs in pre-medical work and pre-engineering studies. The university plans to provide all four scientific departments with modern instructional laboratories and classrooms, library and display facilities, and general facilities, in- cluding an observatory for physics, a vivarium and greenhouse for biol- ogy, a seismology room for geology, and an instrumental analysis labor- atory for chemistry. A special feature in all depart- ments, President Cole pointed out, will be separate research laboratory accommodations for faculty and student projects. The Robert E. Lee Research Fund was established at Washington and Lee to promote faculty-student projects in all aca- demic departments, including the sciences. When the physics department and pre-engineering studies vacate the present Reid Hall, that build- ing will be available for remodel- ing and use for other purposes, principally those of the Depart- ment of Journalism and Communi- cations, President Cole said. Reid Hall, built in 1904, is the only aca- demic building at Washington and Lee which has not been modern- ized. Architects for the new project are Clark, Nexen, and Owen of Lynchburg. They were assisted by representatives of the science de- partments, chiefly the department heads: Dr. Robert E. Dickey, phy- ics; Dr. Kenneth Stevens, biology; Dr. Esmarch S. Gilreath, chemistry; and Dr. Edgar W. Spencer, geol- ogy. “I Have Done Something To Protect The Sons of Others From Ignorance” JOHN ROBINSON GAVE HIS LIFE’S EARNINGS TO BENEFIT YOUNG WASHINGTON COLLEGE ANY HAVE HEARD of George Washington’s generous gifts to a school of learning in the west- ern part of Virginia. Few know of the Irish immigrant who left his en- tire fortune to further the course of learning at the same school. He, along with “Big Foot”? Wallace and John Jordan, all of Lexington, were self-made men and each contrib- uted to the fame of Rockbridge County and the nation in a unique way. John Robinson was born in Ormagh County, Ireland, in 1753. Having lost his father at an early age, he was bound by an uncle to a weaver in order to learn the trade. In 1770, he journeyed across the sea and settled in Rockbridge County. How he secured passage over has never been revealed. Dr. Archibald Alexander, who knew him, wrote that Robinson was first an itinerant weaver going from house to house. It was said that he was then seventeen years of age, good natured and jovial. With the coming of the Revolution, “he served in various situations,” as his will later claimed. Upon his return from the service, he was given a home with General John Bowyer at “Thornhill,” where he continued to engage in weaving for the folk of the area who were attracted by “his good temper and good behaviour, with a spice of Irish wit.” John had saved 4 BY CHARLES W. TURNER Professor of H istory enough money to buy himself a poor horse, and by careful feeding and training, he much improved the animal. Come court day, he resolved to see how he would fare in trading his horse. His effort was crowned with success and soon he acquired other horses to fatten and train. The market price was often twice what he had paid for them. So adept did he become at judging good horses that he soon won the nick-name of ‘Jockey’? and he ac- cumulated a good sum for further investment. Some of these animals later sired race horses. Robinson exemplified traits of honesty and fair play which helped with his enterprise. The extra money he acquired made him anxious to invest in other ventures. In the Valley of Virginia many Revolutionary sol- diers possessed governmental se- curities entitling them to receive pay for their services. The Federal government had not yet redeemed these securities, but Robinson had faith that they would. Many of the soldiers needed ready cash and were willing to sell them to Robin- son at a large discount. The aver- age sum secured was four to six- pence to the pound. He offered in good faith the current price for the securities, and when the new government under the direction of Alexander Hamilton, against the wishes of the leading Republicans, redeemed the certificates at par value, Robinson reaped the bene- fit. If the soldier had sold his cer- tificates for a small amount, it was his doing. Robinson was thought then to have considerable means. Robinson decided to buy a farm, although he was very inexperienced in agriculture. From John Bowyer he purchased a 4oo-acre holding called Hart’s Bottom, an attractive and fertile piece of land which is included today in the Town of Buena Vista. The name had come from Silas Hart who acquired the title from George III in 1746. This purchase took a lot of Robinson’s capital, and farming with slaves proved more difficult than he had anticipated. So he engaged in an- other profitable business—that of distilling whiskey—in which he be- came very proficient. His stone dis- tillery in later years harbored a chopping mill. Jockey bought a number of tracts of land in the neighborhood, doubling the acre- age of Hart’s Bottom, and included land on Buffalo Creek and on the Cow Pasture river. Altogether he acquired almost 3,200 acres. His slaves numbered some 60 and each was well-cared for. Robinson never married and lived a lonely life. The only re- creation he allowed himself was riding a grey horse to Lexington, some nine miles away, and spend- ing the day talking with friends on THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE the street. Here, after taking a leisurely ride into town, he would visit the postofhice and then take a chair on the street, if a warm and pleasant day, visiting with such personages as Ben Darst, Sam Petti- grew, Archy Beard and Jimmy Dold. As Robinson grew older, he became more serious and his in- terests took a benevolent turn. He was made a trustee of The Ann Smith Academy, a_ private girls’ school of Lexington. In 1820 he took up $3,000 worth of claims against the Academy to help keep it open. He actually kept the school from a Sheriff's sale. His connection with Washington College was very significant and went back as far as 1803. When Lib- erty Hall burned, he offered the authorities a lot for a new site on the edge of Lexington. The Trus- tees thereupon resolved “that John Robinson is entitled to the thanks of ‘This Board for his generous con- duct and benevolent donation to Washington Academy.” Further recognizing his interest in the school, in 1819 he was made a Trus- tee along with Andrew Heron, Sam McD. Reid and John Leyburn. All of these were present on March 12, 1819 to take the oath. Just at this period, the General Assembly of Virginia was desirous of establish- ing a state university somewhere and a number of committees were asking that it be established in their section. Lexington and the Board of ‘Trustees of Washington College offered a subscription to the state of $70,000 if it could be located here. John Robinson offered his The monument erected to the memory of Robinson in 1855. (Photo by Ros FRAMES, 60) WINTER 1961 entire estate if the school could be located within four miles of Lex- ington. He had prepared a deed to that effect saying: “John Robinson of Hart’s Bottom in the County of Rockbridge for and in consideration of the promises have given and granted and do by _ these present give and grant, at and imme- diately after my decease, to the Pres- ident and directors of the Literary Fund and to their successors in office for the benefit of the University of Virginia the following tracts of land lying in said County. A tract of land lying on the North Fork of the James River on which I live conveyed to me by Gen- eral John Bowyer containing 400 acres, also an appendage of 171 acres and 1/2 conveyed to me by James Grigsby. Also a tract of land adjoining the above containing 203 acres conveyed to me by the heirs of William Paxton, known as Tavern Plantation. Also a tract of land lying on the same river above the lands of Arthur Glasgow containing 112 acres conveyed to me by William Paxton’s heirs. Also a_ tract on said river adjoining land of Arthur Glas- gow, Benjamin Camden, D. Edmondson and opposite the lands of Edmondson containing 500 acres. A. tract of Pryor’s Gap of 545 acres gotten from the heirs of William Paxton is to be included, as well as, a tract lying in Childers Gap containing 266 acres conveyed by William Mitchell, and finally a_ tract in Childers Gap of 320 acres conveyed by Nicholas Jones and a 22 acre field just out of Lexington. That the Univer- sity be located there or within four miles of the said town within two years. The remainder 500 acres on Buffalo Creek adjoining lands of James Breck- enridge, plus 57 slaves. All should be sold at my death for investment to be used for same.” This showed Robinson’s deep in- terest in higher education of the day. ‘The State decided on Charlottes- ville as the site for the Univer- sity, so the will was never effective. Between 1819-21, Robinson atten- ded fairly regularly the Board of ‘Trustees meetings, and in 1821 he was one of a committee for the planning of a new building for the college to be first known as the “Central Building,” and ‘““Washing- ton Hall” later. Serving along with him on this committee were Robert White, James McDowell and Sam McD. Reid. The following year Robinson gave $2,000 of the $9,000 5 JOHN ROBINSON Continued needed for the building, and was counted on to help with the re- mainder. John Jordan agreed to build the brick structure with high pillars supporting a porch. When the building was completed in 1824, the cornerstone was laid, and for the event, John Robinson had a barrel containing 40 gallons of best rye whiskey brought up to treat the visitors. ‘Che drink was fruity and ropy and the affair started by “Mr. Robinson escorting two leading col- lege authorities to the barrel.” Courtesy was shown at first but the thirsty crowd broke all restraints and armed with cups and dippers scooped into the barrel. Few re- mained sober while many rolled upon the ground. Finally the barrel was upset and for the remainder of the day, the college hill looked like a battle field. Robinson was said to have been disgusted as to how the affair had gone. J. T. L. Preston spoke of it in an address later say- ing “that President Baxter and pro- fessors had drunk from the barrel and had deported themselves mer- rily.” A Miss Louise Baxter object- ed to this version, as late as 1873, and spoke of the affair saying, that when Robinson, a man of great eccentricity, had drawn up his will, and soon after his intention of making this donation became known, he sent a barrel of whiskey to College Hill and that “such a proceeding was considered an out- rage.... Nothing but the well- known singularity of the donor could at all excuse the act, in the opinion of the faculty and friends of the college.” John Robinson died on June 26, 1826, and his funeral was practical- ly a “state” one, for according to the Lexington papers, a great pro- cession was formed of college trus- tees, faculty, and literary society representatives with his — slaves bringing up the rear, to escort his 6 body from outside of town to a tomb placed on the front campus. Shortly before his death he had two wills drawn. The first did not please him, but the second one did, being drawn by James McDowell, later governor of Virginia, who was a lawyer in Lexington and served on the Board of ‘Trustees with Robinson. Colonel William Pax- ton, Robert White, Sam McDowell Reid and James McDowell were named executors of his estate. The will was probated July 3, 1826. ‘The major parts of the will are cited below: “Having migrated to America just in time to participate in the Revolu- tionary struggle (which I did in var- ious situations) and having since that period by a long, peaceful interval with my fellow citizens amassed a consider- able estate which I am desirous of rendering back to them upon terms most likely to conduce to their essen- tial and permanent interests, I do therefore will and ordain: t. Washington College is the only intended heir of my estate. 2. Money secured from my estate is to be used to purchase stock, that will make a permanent fund to have a pro- fessorship of Geology and Agriculture so that the science of arts and life can be taught. 6. I do hereby desire $1,500 from the first clear proceeds of Hart’s Bottom to be used to purchase two or more medals to be given to graduates with the highest scholastic attainment. Having foreborn to gratify the par- ticularities of friendship in the be- stowad. 2f personal favors which must follow the judicious apppreciation of the legacy which I leave to the public instruction I hope that some facilities have been given to the march of im- provement, and some contribution made to the welfare of society, and having its members inspired at an early age with the salutary and conservative les- sons of knowledge and virtue. And though a foreigner by birth and with- out a child to provide for, I rejoice in the trust that I have done something to protect the sons of others from igno- rance and vice, and something to con- firm the political institutions of the country by enlightening the public will upon which they rest. For these ends I cheerfully give up the earnings of my life, and interests as my latest wish, that they be so husbanded as to carry forward the beneficient results which 1 contemplate.” What a generous and thoughtful statement, by one who had little, if any academic training! The final provision of the will stated that all the lands of Robin- son should be sold except Hart’s Bottom and the slaves should be used on this estate for a 50 year period after which the whole might be disposed of. The college soon disposed of the lands other than Hart’s Bot- tom. It tried to manage the slaves on the larger property but soon found it unprofitable to run the estate. ‘he college sought legal ad- vice to enable it to dispose of the remainder of the estate. Chapman Johnson advised them and for a time they leased Hart’s Bottom and later disposed of it to William A. Read in 1840. President Henry Ruffner signed the transfer title. The slaves were employed to fence in the campus and do odd _ jobs about. But the time came that the slaves had to be sold too. ‘The hope was that the whole could be sold to one master, that the families might not be broken up and, as one ex- pressed it, that the method would “not be food for the abolitionist mills.” Both a Dr. W. A. Graham of North Carolina wanted them and a Samuel Garland of Arkansas. The latter finally purchased 51 of the slaves for $20,674.91. ‘These were reported to be comfortably THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE located in Arkansas soon after, only a “Caroline” had died shortly after arrival. Several of the older ones were retained by the college, and one was cared for as late as 1878. Other property of Robinson in- cluded 100 volumes of books, three stills, live-stock and 1,000 gallons of whiskey. The latter went for 36 and 37 cents a gallon. The li- brary included volumes of Sir Walter Scott’s Rob Roy and Fran- cisco Miranda’s Expedition. The total monetary value of the estate was figured at $46,500.00. Some $15,000 to $20,000 was shortly used for new buildings. One of these buildings, built in 1841 was a wing of Washington Hall and was called Robinson Hall, housing currently the Department of Math- ematics and a portion of Romance Languages. To carry out the provisions of Robinson’s will in 1929, the Board of Trustees created the Robinson Professorship of Chemistry. ‘The long title of the department was “Professorship of Chemical Arts and Minerology with Special Ap- plication to Agriculture.” L. G. Garland was the first professor to held this chair, with an annual sal- ary of $600.00. The question of this new professorship had already been debated in the “town and gown” literary society of the town—the Franklin Society. ‘Today the Geolo- gy Department still carries the title of the “Robinson Foundation.” To follow another desire of Robinson, medals were granted to the persons making the three high- est grades in the college. These medals were worth $20, $30 and $40 and were first accorded in 1855 to D. Rodes Massie, John M. Gay and W. F. Cocke. At present the awards have been extended to include languages, history, litera- ture and_ social sciences. “The amounts given to each recipient are $20 and the present stipula- tions are: The Robinson Awards were estab- lished in compliance with the will of John Robinson, a generous benefactor of the institution. They are as follows: a. The Robinson Award in Lan- guages—This award is conferred on the student attaining the highest grades in ancient and modern languages, pro- vided he_ offers forty-eight semester hours in these subjects, including one major. b. The Robinson Award in Mathe- matics and Science—This award is con- ferred on the student attaining the highest grades in mathematics and na- tural science, provided he offers sixty semester hours in these subjects, in- cluding one major. c. The Robinson Award in English Literature, History and Social Sciences. This award ts conferred on the student attaining the highest grades in sub- jects other than those mentioned in (a) or (b) above, provided he offers sixty semester hours in each such sub- jects, including one major. The selection for the Robinson Awards are made on a _ competitive basis and are for excellence of work and extent of work in a particular field of study. The combined grades shall have an index rating of not less than two and a half and no grade shall be below B. Only members of the gradu- ating class are eligible. The exact con- ditions of award may be learned from the chairman of the Committee on Scholarships and Awards. To offer especial honor to bene- factor Robinson, the faculty felt an impressive monument should cover his grave on the campus and for some twenty years the Board of Trustees and faculty discussed the matter. In 1843 the Board ordered a committee to secure a monument of greystone some fif- teen feet in height with a substan- Source Materials: Rockbridge County Will Book; Washington and Lee Historical Papers; A.

Appar- ently it was placed and then by some chance, thrown down and broken. In the next decade $500 was set aside to secure a new one. President George Junkin, Hugh Barclay, Samuel McD. Reid and Dr. John Leyburn made up the committee to see the job done. A Philadelphia contractor prepared the new Italian marble marker and this was delivered on the steamer, the “City of Richmond,” in 1855. The monument was placed on a concrete foundation, enclosing a box of Robinson’s bones, plus a current college catalogue, a dime of 1853, a copy of the laws of the col- lege, a church paper (no doubt Presbyterian), a copy of The Lex- ington Gazette, and an extract of his will. ‘The following inscription may still be read today: Honor to whom Honor Sacred to the memory of John Robinson A Native of Ireland A Soldier of Washington And a Munificent Benefactor of Washington College Born A.

The shaft stands alone now before the Tuck- er Law School, reminding yet of the great donor who chose so wisely to give, as he had received, a gift for education to his adopted land. This gift proved to be the second largest Washington College (now Wash- ington and Lee University) re- ceived in her first century, and one from which students still profit. Alumni Were Gunning for Williams FORMER LAW DEAN IS PARTICIPANT IN SHOTGUN CEREMONY GROUP OF former students of Professor Clayton E. Wil- liams found out it’s easier to please than surprise the retired dean of Washington and Lee University’s School of Law. Some thirty-four alumni planned to do both, but while Dean Wil- liams was pleased with the hand- made, automatic, 20-gauge shotgun they presented him in late Decem- ber, he wasn’t quite as surprised over the gift as his friends had hoped he would be. “I wasn’t so sure I was going to get a gun that I brought along a box of shells, but I was pretty sus- picious of things,’ Dean Williams said. The presentation, made by Gra- ham Morison, ’32, of Washington, D. C., was planned to mark the end of Dean Williams’ final year as dean. His retirement from that of- fice was effective last September. “We just didn’t want to see 1960 end without expressing our grati- tude to Dean Williams for all he has meant to us,” Morison said. Because Dean Williams is an ar- dent, expert sportsman, Morison said he and Martin P. Burks, III, 32, of Roanoke, conceived the idea of a gift for hunting or fishing. Mrs. Williams was asked for a suggestion, and she told them Dean Williams had shown a recent inter- est in an automatic shotgun. Mor- ison immediately placed an order with the Remington firearms peo- ple for one of the finest weapons they produce. But when some of Dean Wil- liams’ Rockbridge County hunting buddies found out what the gift would be, they had reservations about it. “Skinny Williams was brought up on an old-fashioned, double-bar- relled shotgun,” said Cap’n Dick Smith, former Washington and Lee athletic director. ““He wouldn't any- more own one of those fancy jobs than fly to the moon!” Here, says Morison, was some- thing Dean Williams had dealt with in forty-one years as law pro- fessor—a conflict of evidence. To resolve the issue, Smith, D. Allen Penick, 30, Matthew W. Paxton, °20, and others organized a hunt for Dean Williams. Around the campfire, they drew him into a discussion on guns, and sure enough, out of it came the admission that while he hadn’t held much for automatic shotguns in the past, Dean Williams thought perhaps he’d reached the point in his hunting career where an auto- matic might improve his bag. Because the special Remington gun demanded exact specifications, Dean Williams’ friends even fi- nagled the necessary measure- ments from him. About this time, Dean Williams began to wonder why all this sudden interest in his arm length and his opinions on automatic shotguns. It didn’t take his legally-trained mind long to weigh the evidence and arrive at a Among those present for the gift-giving ceremonies were, seated: M. W. PAXON, SR., 720; H. GRAHAM MorISON, ’32; DEAN CLAYTON E. WILLIAMS, ’12: J. M. Hott, ’29; CARTER GLASs, III, °42. Standing: JAMEs W. H. STewart, ’52; Roperr E. R. HUNTLEY, 57; W. O. ROBERTS, 58; D. ALLEN PENICK, 30; H. B. VANcE, ‘51; SAm W. RAYDER, °90; R. C. SMITH, ’53. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE correct verdict, one he kept to him- self, though. While Dean Williams may not have been surprised at receiving a gun, he was appropriately impress- ed by the magnificence of the wea- pon. Every part, both metal and wood, is hand-tooled of the finest materials. Sunk into the stock is a silver medallion, inscribed for Dean Williams. “The company put one man, working day and night, on this gun for us,’ Morison said. “He did a wonderful job.”” Morison says the gun is valued at around $1,300. The presentation took place in the faculty lounge of the law school where 18 of the 34 who gave Dean Williams the gun were present. ‘All of them wanted to be here, but they’re spread all over the United States,”” said Morison. “We could have gotten hundreds to chip in on Dean Williams’ gift if there had been time to get in touch with all of them.” A commemorative scroll bears the signatures of the participants and this inscription: “To Clayton E.

Kerns, 14, has gathered a unique collec- tion of Washington and_ Lee stamps, which he presented to Mc- Cormick Library here this winter. The collection, which includes seven Bicentennial covers, com- prises other valuable covers of local interest, many autographed by fa- mous American men. The Kerns collection was exhibited during the fall at the Kanawha County LI- brary of Charleston, West Virginia, before being sent to Lexington. Philatelists will enjoy the Kerns collection, which reflects the inter- ests of the man who compiled it— Washington and Lee; the United States Navy; the Polaris submarine, Robert E. Lee; West Virginia, and the South. The sub, SSB6o1, car- ried a first day cover for Navy veteran Kerns, and the ship’s com- mander even added his autograph to make it more valuable. Among the collection are seven Bicentennial covers, as follows: 1. First Day (coat of arms), au- tographs and correspondence. WINTER 1961 2. First Day (coat of arms), on both sides of cover. 3. First Day (coat of arms), via Polaris submarine. 4. First Day (old view of Un1- versity), President Gaines’ auto- graph. 5. First Day (composite cachet) autographed by Lewis A. Pick, chief of Army Engineers. 6. First Day (composite cachet), autographs and_ correspondence, Dr. James Lewis Howe. 7. First Day, mailed in Wain- wright, Alaska, and sent by dog team, mail boat, and airplane. Some others in the collection given to the University are: Robert E. Lee Polaris submarine cover; ‘Truman Inauguration Day, January 20, 1949, autographed by Alben W. Barkley and Chief Jus- tice Fred M. Vinson; Confederate Facsimiles (complete set) and Dietz correspondence; Second In- augural Parade of Eisenhower- Nixon, autographed by U. S. Sen- ator Chapman Revercomb (West Virginia); Annapolis Tercentenary, autographed by Edward S. Dela- plaine, *14; Admiral C. P. Snyder, USN ’o9, First Navy Admiral from West Virginia; Senate Chamber, Washington, 88, with political patronage correspondence; Warm Springs, Virginia, 1885; and others. 9 Proud of Our Team! HEN LEE McLaughlin made his first official appearance at Washington and Lee as the univer- sity’s new football coach, there were only some twenty-five boys on hand in the old Washington Chapel that spring day to hear what he had to say. Even some of that number weren't really serious about play- ing football the next fall, but had come only to see what manner of man would take on what seemed at the time a Herculean task of re- building the Generals’ football stature. Much of what McLaughlin had to say fell on unbelieving ears, even for those who wanted to believe. Said McLaughlin, “We’re going to think in terms of winning them all next year.” And he said, “I believe in letting a lot of boys play for me. Stick with me and you'll play foot- ball for Washington and Lee.” At the time, the football Gener- als seemed to be thinking more in terms of losing them all. There was the 0-7 season in 1955, and the 1-7 record in 1956. And the prospect of letting a lot of boys play didn’t seem like the way to go about im- proving on that mark. It was more a matter, perhaps, of finding the eleven best players and calling on them to be iron men. Even McLaughlin’s unfailing optimism nearly faltered that next September when only nineteen players reported for the first prac- tice session. There were more later, but that opening week of practice was a grim beginning. But McLaughlin was steadfast to his remarks of the previous spring. He did think in terms of winning them all, and he did let large num- 10 1960 Tri-Captains CouRTNEY Mauzy, Charlotte, N. C.; Bop FUNKHOUSER, Charles Town, W. Va.; and ‘Terry Fous, Baltimore, Md., talk with Coach LEE MCLAUGHLIN. bers of players see action. But re- sults were slim. The Generals were 0-8, after a promising start of two- one-point, heartbreaking _ losses. But, unmistakeably, there was a new spirit about Washington and Lee football. McLaughlin — had made, at least a start. The next year, the caliber of foot- ball improved vastly more than the 1-7 record indicates, and the old Brooklyn “Wait’ll next year!’ was heard along the Colonnade. Next year marked more progress, a credit- able 3-4-1 season and the fast ma- turing of a bunch of youngsters who were beginning to show an_ esprit de corps perhaps unmatched in Washington and Lee athletic history. Finally on autumn afternoons of 1960, that year so many had been waiting for did, at last, come. Be- sides thinking about winning them all, the Generals very nearly did just that. Only a disappointing 8-8 tie with Johns Hopkins marred an unbeaten 8-0-1 record. And when McLaughlin’s wave after wave of Generals took the field, there wasn’t too much difference in the ability of the first string or “Blue” unit boys and those on the third or “Gold” unit. An average of 35 players participated in virtually every quarter of action for the Gen- erals. McLaughlin had developed team depth that paid off in victories over Opponents with superior first teams but no reserves. Enroute to the first undefeated season in Washington and Lee foot- ball since 1914, the Generals re- ceived nationwide publicity for their amazing comebacks under Coach Lee McLaughlin. At sea- son’s end, one of the Generals, lit- tle 145-pound junior linebacker Terry Fohs of Baltimore, became one of the smallest players in col- lege football ever to win All-Amer- ican honors. He was named to the third team of the Associated Press Little All-America squad, a _ re- markable tribute to a remarkable player. In Virginia, the Associated Press revised its All-Star selection process in order to give recognition to Washington and Lee players who heretofore were ineligible for the AP’s All-Little Eight team. When the AP All-Virginia Small College eleven was announced, Fohs, junior quarterback Steve Suttle and junior fullback Doug Martin were accord- ed first team honors. Four others, including junior guard Tommy Goodwin, junior tackle Bill Wheel- er, junior end Ned Hobbs, and sophomore halfback Charlie Gum- mey received second-team berths. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE We’re Proud of Our Alumni, Too! O THOSE colleges and _ institu- “T tions which have inaugurated the plan, an occupational file has been of tremendous importance. Every institution is keenly aware and very proud of the impact and influence which her alumni make on all levels of community and business life. In this age of compe- tition, each college points with pride to the accomplishments of her alumni as a measure of her standards and level of attainment. Washington and Lee guards closely the thought that, percentage-wise, we produce an enviable number of leaders in all phases of economic, educational, and professional life. The time is coming when we may be called upon to prove this point. A brochure, though not com- plete, is being compiled for mailing to you. Categories are being es- tablished into which our alumni may be grouped. ‘This information will be circulated soon and it is of infinite importance that each alum- nus complete his questionnaire. Ex- perience in other colleges indicate that the system is of little use un- less there is reached approximately 85% on returns of information. It is planned to establish broad occu- pational classification with a nu- merical system of detailed break- down. For example: roo Architecture 105 General 110 Industrial 115 Landscaping 120 Marine 200 Banking 205 General 210 Investment 215 Loan Association, etc. 500 Education 505 Administration 515, College teaching 520 Elementary teaching The above is given only for explan- ation. Each alumnus, in addition to filling out the questionnaire form, will be asked to check that classification which in his opinion best describes his work. This information when worked into our IBM data processing sys- tem will enable the University and the Alumni Office to produce sta- tistics for many purposes. A direct- ory can be published for distribu- tion to alumni and to business and professional organizations. Of course, the value of such in- formation will depend on _ up-to- date records. Changes of positions and classification must be prompt and accurate. To this end there must be a new era of liaison be- tween alumni and the central office. Everyone must recognize the im- portance of keeping the Alumni Office fully informed. It will be a responsibility which Washington and Lee men will gladly accept. During the season, Fohs was pick- ed by the Richmond Times-Dis- patch as its lineman of the week, chosen ahead of the state’s big col- lege stars. A few weeks later, a second unit fullback, sophomore Tommy Keesee, was honored by the same paper as its back of the week, again picking his performance as superior to those of the major col- lege players. McLaughlin’s turn for recog- nition came in February when the Portsmouth, Va., Sports Club hon- ored him as Virginia football coach of the year. In his acceptance speech, McLaughlin told the Tide- water sportsmen, “I’ve got one of the best coaching jobs in the coun- try....and now, I want you to WINTER 1961 meet the men who have the other two.’ He proceeded to introduce his assistants, Boyd Williams and Buck Leslie, who, emphasizes Mc- Laughlin, must share in all credit for the team’s success. The 1960 season was a splendid effort on all counts. Centre fell in the opener, 21-6, and Dickinson was beaten, 23-6, for only the team’s second road victory since 1953. A Homecoming crowd saw Franklin and Marshall bow, 38-8, and then the Generals spoiled Randolph-Macon’s Home- coming with a 26-3 victory. Before a Parents’ Weekend gathering, the Generals tackled poorly, fumbled often, and had to rely on a heavy share of good breaks to hold Johns Hopkins to an 8-8 tie. Injuries side- lined two of McLaughlin’s three first left halfbacks, and the boy transferred from right to left half- back, sophomore Charlie Gummey, was the big agent in a 14-7 come- back win over Hampden-Sydney. Carnegie Tech bowed next, 6-0, in rain and cold at Pittsburgh, and the Generals closed out their home schedule with a superb 32-8 lacing of Sewanee, the last team to have beaten Washington and Lee in 1959. A week later, with the second unit scoring all four touchdowns, the Generals downed Washington at St. Louis, 28-0, and back home, the Washington Hall bell saluted the victors and their patient coach. 1] General GrorRGE R. E. SHELL, left, superintendent of V.M.I., presented a bronze bust of Robert E. Lee to President Frep C. Corr, right, in a neighborly gesture on Lee’s birth- day, January 19.

JENKS, '39, profes- sor of history, will study next year in Austria on a Social Research Council grant. He was awarded the maximum grant of $6,000 under the New York organization’s re- search fellowship program. Dr. Jenks will do the major portion of his research in Vienna. The grant was awarded to Dr. Jenks for his proposal to initiate an independent study of the operation of parliamentary democracy in Austria from 1907 to 1914. Most of his work in Vienna will be con- cerned with a detailed appraisal of the effects of the electoral re- form of 1905-07 upon the last years of the Austrian half of the 12 Hapsburg Monarchy. This mate- rial will serve as a basis for the long-range parliamentary study. Dr. Jenks is the author of two books on Austrian government, “The Austrian Electoral Reform of 1907” (1950), and “Vienna and the Young Hitler” (1960). He has been a member of the faculty since 1946. In 1954-55, he studied in Aus- tria under the auspices of the Fund for the Advancement of Edu- cation, and the Fulbright program. His wife and two children will ac- company him to Vienna. # A BIOGRAPHY of David Hunter Strother, writer of the Old South, by Dr. Cecil D. Eby, Jr., associate professor of English, was published January 21. The 258-page book is entitled “Porte Crayon”: The Life of David Hunter Strother. It was published by the University of North Caro- lina Press. The biography is Dr. Eby’s second book. He is the author of The Old South Illustrated, pub- lished in 1959. Dr. Eby joined the Washington and Lee faculty last September aft- er teaching at Madison College for two years. A native of Charleston, West Virginia, Dr. Eby is the au- thor of 12 articles for leading lit- erary journals. @ DR. EDGAR W. SPENCER, head of the department of geology has been named to the Governor’s Advisory Committee on geological matters. The six-man committee is re- sponsible for advising the Gover- nor on matters concerning the ge- ology and national resources of the state. ‘The late Dr. Marcellus Stow of Washington and Lee was former chairman of the committee. @ DR. L. L. BARRETT, Chairman of the Romance language department, was a participant in an interview recently which was part of a spe- cial telecast to Brazil and other Spanish-speaking South American countries. ‘The program, ‘Panorama Pan- americano,” under the auspices of the United States Information Agency, was conducted in both Spanish and Portuguese. Dr. Barrett, former public af- fairs officer in United States em- bassies at Bogota and Quito, dis- cussed a group of translations he has made from Brizilian plays and other literature he has translated for classroom use. & A PSYCHOLOGY professor here has been awarded a $2,300 research grant from the National Institute of Health to study the effects of irradiation on behavior. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Dr. Leonard E. Jarrard was given the grant for a year-long study of the effects of X-rays on behavior in white rats. Some of his findings may prove helpful in understanding how radiation exposure may affect human beings. Plans call for Dr. Jarrard’s re- search to be conducted in the psy- chology laboratories at Washington and Lee. The grant will be used to purchase additional equipment for testing behavorial patterns of rats after exposure to varied amounts of radiation. He will begin detailed work immediately. Dr. Jarrard hopes his research will establish ‘“‘a technique that may prove of value in subsequent rad1- ation research.” Results may also help find an accurate measure of the minimum amount of radiation that will cause changes in behavior. Another application would be the testing of various chemical agents for offsetting harmful effects of radiation. m THE ALFRED I. duPont Awards Foundation has given Washington and Lee University $5,000 for schol- arships for students interested in WINTER 1961 careers in the general field of com- munications. Scholarships from the special grant will be awarded for the 1961- 62 session. The duPont Founda- iton will give the university add1- tional $5,000 grants for 1962-63 and 1963-64. Students majoring in journalism, language, history, literature, edu- cation, physics, electrical engineer- ing and allied subjects will be eligible for the new scholarships if they anticipate communications careers. Grants will be limited to juniors and seniors who meet the requirements of the foundation. Washington and Lee officials will nominate candidates for the awards. The foundation expresses a special interest in students study- ing for careers in public service writing, editing or programming, educational broadcasting and _ tech- nical fields of transmission and re- ception. according to Kenneth E. Haefele, foundation secretary. The duPont Foundation was ses- tablished in 1942 by Mrs. Jessie Ball duPont in memory of her late husband. a THE SHELL OIL Company, through its program of “Shell Assists’? to higher education, has given the University $1,500 for the second consecutive year. Provisions of the gift allot $500 for professional development of in- dividual faculty members in en- gineering, mathematics and_physi- cal sciences, $500 for general facul- ty development, and $500 of un- restricted funds. = FOR THE FIFTH consecutive year, Washington and Lee has been des- ignated as a participant in the Texaco, Inc., aid-to-education pro- gram’s support of privately-en- dowed colleges and universities. President Fred C. Cole = an- nounced the receipt of a check of $1,500 from Texaco for unrestrict- ed use by the university. He said Washington and Lee will apply the money to its faculty salary improve- ment program as was done with other gifts from Texaco. “We are grateful to Texaco for its continuing interest in Washing- ton and Lee,’ President Cole said. “We are pleased when the work we do merits the support of a pro- gram such as that conducted by ‘Texaco, Inc., in behalf of higher education.” @ OFFICIALS OF THE General Electric Co. plant in Waynesboro, Virginia, have donated four pieces of elec- tronic equipment for use in the ad- vanced physics laboratories. Included are three Dumont oscilloscopes, a Dumont electronic switch and several thousand feet of hook-up wire. R. ARNOLD J. TOYNBEE, inter- 1) nationally famous _ historian, will speak at Washington and Lee on March 10, 1961, discussing the question “Does Sense?” History Make His lecture is sponsored by the University Lecture Committee, of which Dr. Allen Moger is chair- man. During his three-day visit here, he will be the guest of Dr. and Mrs. Edward D. Myers. Dr. Myers, professor of philosophy, is the col- laborator with Dr. Toynbee of an atlas and gazeteer, which is the eleventh volume of Dr. ‘Toynbee’s monumental, “A study in History.” Dr. ‘Toynbee was visiting schol- ar at Washington and Lee during the spring semester, 1958, and gave a series of fifteen lectures here. A motion picture record of the entire series was made by Encyclopaedia Britannica Films, Inc., through sup- port from the Fund for the Ad- vancement of Education. This ser- ies has been shown at a number of American colleges. 13 ms H.

Norman ‘Thomas, six-time presi- dential candidate of the Socialist Party, and Dr. Malcolm Moos, re- tired administrative assistant to President Dwight D. Eisenhower, made appearances here before stu- dent-faculty audiences. Dr. Abra- ham Kreusler, head of the depart- ment of Russian at Randolph-Ma- con Woman’s College, and a native of the Western Ukraine, was the third speaker. Mr. ‘Thomas, regarded as one of the elder statesmen of _ liberal thought in America, spoke on “An American Socialist Views the East- West Conflict.” Dr. Moos spoke on foreign policy problems. He is cur- rently on leave as professor of po- litical science at Johns Hopkins University, and had served as Mr. Eisenhower's speech writer. Both men had made previous ap- 14 pearances on the campus. Norman ‘Thomas spoke here in the 1930's, and Professor Moos five years ago. Dr. Kreusler spoke on “Some Post-Stalinist Developments in Rus- sia and ‘Their Implication for the West.” Pierre Daura_ ex- hibited seventy-eight of his works of art in duPont Art Gallery at Washington and Lee during Jan- uary and February. The exhibition covered his career from 1928 to 1961, and included forty-seven paintings, twenty drawings, water colors and prints, plus nine sculp- tures. Mr. Daura, a former teacher of art, now lives in Rockbridge Baths. This was his first exhibit at the University. More than 1,200 per- sons visited the gallery to see the display, which was held over one week by request. | “The Daura show has been the most popular and the most success- ful exhibition—from the — stand- point of attendance and sales—in the history of the six-year-old du- Pont Gallery,” fine arts department head Marion Junkin declared.

An executive committee of sev- en students has been established to run the Troubadour Theater, which presents three or four dra- matic productions during the school year. The changes in the group’s or- ganizational structure were brought about by interested students under the guidance of Dr. Cecil B. Jones, new Troubadour director and _ as- sistant professor of fine arts. A primary purpose of the newly- organized ‘Troubadours is “to en- courage a greater understanding of the theater as an art.’ Secondary purposes include the creation of opportunities for interested stu- dents to express themselves dramat- ically and to gain experience on the stage.

P. “Cy” Twombly isn’t coaching the Gen- erals’ swimming team. The Washington and Lee swim- mers, who since 1921 made ‘Twom- bly the most successful of all Gen- eral coaches, are going right on winning and just about everyone assumed that Cy was still in charge. His successor is Norris Eastman, T'wombly’s assistant for the past two years, and like ‘Twombly, a Massachusetts native who came South from Springfield College with a solid background in ath- letics in general and swimming in particular. As for ‘Twombly, no coach ever turned over his team to a successor with greater confidence. “This young fellow is interested in doing a good job and he has a top-notch background,” says ‘Twombly of Eastman. “He was a big help the past two years, the boys like him, and if he stays around as long as I have, he'll probably do better.” ‘T'wombly’s record is 150 wins against 50 losses. His swimmers won eight state titles, four Southern Conference crowns in a row from 1935 to 1938, and in the mid-30’s, the Generals went five years with- out losing a dual meet. “Twombly also had a 6-0 year in 1948-49. ‘Twombly, who at 63 continues as athletic director and golf coach, says he decided to give up the swim- ming job when his sinus condition became increasingly aggravated by the high humidity of the indoor pool, where he would spend an average of three hours a day. And, says ‘I'wombly, “I’m getting too old for the excitement and the pres- sure of the meets. In golf, Ill just pick ’em up every four or five holes 16 New Coach EASTMAN, left, and star MAYNARD, right, talk things over with “Cy” TwomMBLy. and not worry so much how things are going.” ‘The Generals’ standout perform- er is Elliott Maynard, a 29-year- old junior from Portland, Me., who has broken every Washington and Lee record for the breast-stroke events and stands a good chance of winning national honors this year and next. He finished high in the Eastern Intercollegiate meet last year as a sophomore, and both Twombly and Eastman agree he has not yet reached his full po- tential. The rest of the Generals are good, solid performers, but none approach Maynard’s levels of per- formance. “That’s been my secret recently, good depth that has come from hard work on the part of my boys,” says ‘I'wombly. “My recent teams have had far better balance than any of the good ones back in 1930 when I depended on a handful of real hotshots to win for me.” Among those who are continu- ing to give Eastman depth and ex- perience are freestylers Charlie Hart and Charlie Gummey in the dashes, and Herb Jahncke, a dis- tance freestyler whose father once swam for ‘Twombly. All are soph- omores who won their letters last season as freshmen. Co-captains Jim Parker and Maury Purnell are sen- ior veterans.

The Golden Anniversary (50th) was ad- ded in May, 1956, and the 4oth an- niversary class had its first in 1957. From 1957 to 1960, these three classes have met annually each May, and were joined in 1960 with the first reunion of the 10th anni- versary class. Such has been the growth of this popular occasion. May 5, 6, and 7 has been set as the appointed time this year, and once again reunioning alumni will reign supreme at Washington and Lee. Probably no more pertinent question is asked than, “What is the major impetus that brings an alumnus back at reunion time?” There are many and varied rea- sons, but unquestionably among the foremost is the joy of renewing old friendships. Both faculty and classmates—the comparing of notes, of families, and the ever-present reminiscing about the old days— renew in each heart a spirit that is hard to define or find elsewhere. The alumni who attend will leave with an inner joy and a renewed sense of pride in their alma mater. Program outlines have been for- warded to each member of the re- union classes. Intertwined with am- ple opportunity to visit with friends are a series of events to bring them up-to-date with the University’s plans for the future. It is hoped that all members of these reunion classes will return the pre-registration form so that a list of those classmates who plan to at- tend can be compiled and circulat- ed among the class. In this manner friends can plan to attend and bring about the best reunion ever!! EOD Exchange students ANTONIADES, Hrocu, and ‘Turk enjoyed Freshman Camp. Three Foreign Exchange Students Like Life at Washington and Lee ASHINGTON AND LEE’S. three foreign exchange — students agree on three major points—that the United States is like the des- criptions in books, that faculty- WINTER 1961 student relations at the University are better than in their native countries, and that students should not be forced to attend classes. The group is composed of An- thony Antoniades of ‘Thessalonika, Greece; Peter Turk of Bad Godes- berg, Germany; and Rienhard Hroch of Salzburg, Austria, and they are studying this year under the auspices of the Fulbright Com- mission. The three students trav- eled a combined total of more than 15,000 miles for their year at Wash- ington and Lee. Turk, 23 years old, learned Eng- lish four years ago and is fluent in three other languages. Antoniades, 20, gained a speaking and writing knowledge of English some seven years ago. Hroch has known Eng- lish for five years, and also speaks four other languages. Turk is taking a year’s leave of absence from his medical studies in Germany to gain a “more gener- al knowledge outside of the field of medicine.” Hroch will resume law studies upon his return to Salzburg. Antoniades, a sophomore, expects to stay here for at least one more year before transferring to a school of engineering for completion of his work in mechanical engineering. 7 Fancy Dress and F raternity Combos T-MODEL AND a ‘Thunderbird both bear the name of Ford, but the style and performance are vastly different. Likewise, the late models of Fan- cy Dress Ball have been altered to suit the modern-day tastes of the students who stage them. And the weekend now brings many other kinds of social activities, in addition to the costumed gala. Fancy Dress Ball was begun orig- inally to brighten the dull days be- tween the end of examinations and the start of second semester—to of- fer color and pageantry to quiz- weary students. And so it did, be- coming a sort of weekend Mardi Gras. Young ladies who had never been invited to attend a Fancy Dress Ball were not socially solid. It was the highlight of the year. The current students, many of whom have grown up in compara- tively bountiful times, are accus- tomed to a multiplicity of choice when it comes to social affairs. A big event, such as Fancy Dress, has nec- essarily hatched a nestful of other social accompaniments. And_ the student of the ’sixties, with his large appetite for conviviality, participates in as many as possible. Several changes, of course, have come about. Fancy Dress weekend costs more now than formerly; for instance, rental of costumes is now up to $16 per couple. Many fra- ternities have parties, for which members are assessed; some _ hire combos for the weekend. And girls still have to eat often during the weekend. Some of the University men without steady girl friends de- cline to spend this much money on casual acquaintances, so they don’t ask a date. Other students have oth- er problems—like the ones who go steady with girls at colleges which 18 are unfortunately holding exams Some students contend, too, that during the Fancy Dress weekend. college restrictions are so tight they This opulence competes now with... .

THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Big Dance Weekend ‘Takes Big Money can’t have an unfettered good time, so they don’t attend. Some have dates but never get near Doremus gymnasium for the dances: they at- tend the informal parties at the fraternity houses and have no need to don satins and laces. So Fancy Dress Ball like so many other things which have changed in the past 50, 25, even ten years, isn’t quite the same. Only about half the student body participates, and on Saturday night, the wide open spaces between the dancers are con- spicuous. But this year’s Fancy Dress was a good one. ‘The music was excellent, played by the ‘Tommy Dorsey band led by Warren Covington, the Jer- ry Gray band, and the Dukes of Dixieland, who gave an afternoon concert. ‘The costumes were color- ful. The weather was cold but bear- able, and, all in all, the fifty-second Fancy Dress Ball did just what it was meant to do when it was begun so many years ago—it offered a wel- come bright spot between exams and the spring semester. And the students of the ‘sixties are making their own tradition of how Fancy Dress weekend should be observed. ‘The theme for the Ball this year was “Shakespeare in the Court of King James I,” and the figure dealt with the court of King James shortly after he ascended to the British throne in 1603, when Shakespeare and his players were made Knights of the Chamber Ex- traordinary. Dance set vice-presi- dents and their dates depicted lead- ing characters in Hamlet, King Lear, Romeo and Juliet, Anthony and Cleopatra, Henry IV, and Jul- ius Caesar. .... casual dress affairs and flat wallets Dr. Fitzgerald Flournoy, ’21, pro- fessor of English and a Shakespear- ian scholar, announced the figure, and the University’s John Graham Brass Choir played. Doremus gym- nasium was decorated along the lines of the famed Globe Theatre. The Saturday afternoon concert featured the Dukes of Dixieland and informal dress. Below, the Brothers Four entertained student and dates at a cocktial party in the May- flower Hotel, on Friday prior to Fancy Dress Ball. The party was given by the Phi Gams in honor of Fancy Dress president, DON PARTINGTON, Culpeper, Virginia. WINTER 1961. 19 “Matching Gift’ Program By Industry Can Atd Washington and Lee O HELP SUPPORT higher educa- “D Gion, each of the companies listed here has a “matching gift” program, working in conjunction with employees who are alumni. It’s just as simple as one and one make two. While individual companies may vary in the operating details of their programs, all are essentially alike in that they match—usually dollar for dollar—the contributions of an alumnus-employee to his col- lege or university. If the company you work for is listed, be sure to notify your em- ployer when you make your annual or capital gift to Washington and Lee. You fill in a short form pro- vided by your employer, who then sends an equal amount to the Uni- versity. If the company you work for is not listed, possibly it would be in- terested in establishing a matching gift program. Not infrequently a company wants to help support higher education, but has not yet decided how best to do it. The matching gift principle may be the answer.

THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE ——— es INCE THE CLASS agent letters went forward two months ago, the 1960-61 Alumni Fund 1s off to a running start. Contributions and number of participants are running ahead of this same time last year, but the record reached in the last full campaign (1957-58) has not been attained. The Alumni Fund Council, which directs the annual giving plan, is keeping a close eye on two basic figures: (1) the percentage of participation, and (2) the average level of individual giving. It is im- perative for Washington and Lee and her future that the alumni goals be: the broadening of the base and the raising of the level of in- dividual gifts. At this point in the 1960-61 Fund, it is hard to ascertain what will be the percentage of alumni contributing. In our last full year the percentage was 35.3%. Com- pared with other “like” colleges, this participation is low. For ex- ample, Bowdoin, Brown, Swarth- more, and Williams all registered over 45%, while Amherst at 62% and Dartmouth and _ Princeton, both over 70%, are in the top bracket on this score. Our 1960-61 Alumni Fund marks its reactivation following the mer- ger with the University Develop- ment Program. By virtue of the ex- cellent record of this capital cam- paign, the interest and devotion to Washington and Lee has been enlivened in a large number of al- umni. It is hoped that this interest will be further manifested by a higher percentage of participation in the Alumni Fund. Class agents, in addition to their participation in the fund, render a tremendous service to our alma mater. Members of each class have received letters from their agents and will, no doubt, receive other correspondence in the next few weeks. Regional agents are being enlisted to supplement the work of WINTER 1961 the class agents. These men will co- operate on a personal basis within their region to urge the full partici- pation of all alumni. Through the help of each individually and of all collectively, the broadening of the base and the increased percentage of participation can be assured. Raising the sights on individual giving is equally important. Even at this early point in the fund year, it 1s determined that the average gift is approximately $31.55. “Chis is compared with $33.65 in our last full alumni fund and with Am- herst’s $34.00, Davidson’s $41.00, Princeton’s $51.00, and Sewanee’s $85.00. When dealing with large numbers of participants, it is as- tounding what a great increase can be realized by a small rise in indi- vidual giving. Everyone is cogni- zant of how all items in our every- day world have gone up in costs. Colleges are no exception to this condition. As we all know, raising the student tuition is not the only answer. Each alumnus and friend of the University is urged to look realistically at this problem and to give thoughtfully and in_propor- tion to his concern for Washington and Lee and its mission as an inde- pendent educational institution. Remember that one of the great strengths of the Alumni Fund lies in the fact that it is annual giving upon which the University can de- pend in planning annual opera- tions. Support your class and your alma mater as she deserves through the 1960-61 Alumni Fund.

The seventeen-room home, and surrounding eight acres of grounds, was willed to the college by Mrs. Rosa ‘Tucker Mason for use as a president’s home, or “‘some othe er non-commercial purpose.” The deed conveying the owner- ship was dated September 16, 1957, but Mrs. Mason was given lifetime occupancy. She died January 49, 1961. The ‘Tuckers were very close to the University. Mrs. Ma- son’s grandfathers, John Randolph Tucker and Colonel William Pres- ton Johnston were both members of the faculty, as dean of the law school and professor of history, re- spectively. Her father, Harry St. George ‘Tucker, succeeded his father as dean of the law school and served one year as acting presi- dent. Her brother, the late John Randolph ‘Tucker, was a member of the Board of ‘Trustees. The 150-year-old mansion is a two story solid brick building which contains seventeen rooms, eight baths, and a full basement. All household furnishings not otherwise disposed of by Mrs. Ma- son in her will became the prop- erty of the college. University use of the property is not yet crystallized, pending legal matters. m AN OLD FRIEND of Washington and Lee University has left the Lexington scene. Miss Mary Pax- ton Barclay died November 8, 1960, at the age of 79. She had been as- sociated at the college in various capacities for 47 of those years. Both her father and grandfather were members of the University’s 22 Board of Trustees, the elder Alex- ander Barclay from 1835-39, and her father from 1885-1915. She joined the staff in 1913, when the late Paul Penick, in whose law office she was secretary, was ap- pointed treasurer of Washington and Lee. She served as his secretary for several years and for a time was secretary to President Henry Louis Smith. In 1919, she joined the staff of the alumni office as assistant to the alumni secretary. Before “Cy” Young became alumni secretary in 1929, she took charge of all alumni office activities, and again during his absence in war- time, from 1942-44, she supervised alumni work. Her principal concern for many years was the Alumni Magazine, which she edited at times during the ’20’s, and for which she tra- ditionally wrote the class notes. Many Alumni will remember her in a more personal way, for she and her sister, Miss Elizabeth, had student tenants in their large home one block from the campus. Miss Mary’s principal outside in- terest was woodcarving, and many fraternity houses boast examples of her fine work. She carved chests on commission for Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt and Queen Mother Elizabeth. Her most familiar work is the University’s ceremonial mace, which she carved in three months in 1951 from a design by Dr. Mar- ion M. Junkin, head of the depart- ment of fine arts. A sister of Norris, Tennessee, and a brother, of Lexington, sur- vive her. Miss Elizabeth died on October 23, 1960. The old Barclay home is currently up for sale, and many of its furnishings were sold at auction. w@ MRS. C. HAROLD LAUCK, assistant in the Alumni Office for almost nineteen years, retired January 1, 1961. A long and faithful employee, she began her work with the office during World War II on a part- time basis. Miss Mary Barclay was in charge of Alumni activities at that time. Later, when Alumni Sec- retary H. K. Young returned from service, Mrs. Lauck took on full- time work in the office. Mrs. LAUCK receives silver tray. She has been invaluable in her service with the Class Agents’ and Regional Agents’ solicitation for the Alumni Fund, as well as gen- eral operation of the Alumni office. A luncheon in her honor was held by employees on January 25 at Vir- ginia House restaurant, and she was presented a silver bowl. “The Alum- ni office presented her a silver tray. Mrs. Lauck is the wife of the superintendent of the Journalism Laboratory Press at Washington and Lee. ‘They have three children and seven grandchildren. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Alumni Board Considers Resolutions N ACCORDANCE with a policy of keeping alumni informed of significant action by the Alumni Board of Trustees, the Magazine lists the following action taken by the board at its meeting on October 7, 1960. The board took under consider- ation each of the proposed reso- lutions offered by Dr. Amos L. Herold, ’cg, in the annual Associa- tion meeting of June 2, 1960, and reviewed on pages 22-23 of the Summer issue of the Alumni Mag- azine. The decisions of the board are as follows: 1. Fiscal procedure: the Alum- ni Board of ‘Trustees, after dis- cussion, unanimously agreed that under the present circumstances no benefit was to be gained by a change in the fiscal procedure; that the present procedure appears to be sound and in the best interest of both the University and the Asso- ciation, and accordingly reafhrmed the resolution of the previous Board of 1952. 2. Acquisition of Alumni build- ing: in discussing the matter, the Board took full cognizance of the desirability of an alumni _head- quarters building and reviewed its previous actions in this connection. It was the Board’s opinion, how- ever, (a) that it could not consci- entiously insist that such a struc- ture should take precedence over urgent requirements of the Un1- versity, (b) that the University Board of Trustees has such a build- ing under active consideration in the overall development plans of the University, and (c) that actions of this Board, including the direct- ing of the solicitations and expen- ditures of money through the Alumni Fund, must be in keeping with the purposes set forth in the Association’s charter to operate Calendar of vents March 10 March 25-April 2 April 4, 5, 6 April 12 April 14, 15 Lecture by Professor Arnold J. ‘Toynbee Spring Holidays Seminars in Literature Phi Beta Kappa Fiftieth Anniversary Washington-Cincinnati Assembly Spring Dances Concert Guild ‘Tucker Law Lectures Concert Guild Southern Interscholastic Press Association Meeting Alumni Anniversary Reunions Final Dances Baccalaureate Sermon, 11 a.m. Alumni Luncheon on back campus, 12:30 p.m. Annual Alumni Association Meeting, 2 p.m. April 20 April 21-22 April 27 April 28, 29 May 5, 6, 7, May 30, 31 June 1 June 2 WINTER 1961 Commencement exercises, 11 a.m. “for the benefit of Washington and Lee University.” Accordingly, the Board unanimously agreed that the action proposed by this resolution, namely: to withhold fund balances from the University for the pur- pose of expending same on an alumni headquarters, under the present circumstances would be contrary to the spirit of trust im- posed upon them by the charter. 3. Association budget and audit: the Board noted that such _pro- cedure was already being followed and agreed no further action was needed on this resolution. 4. Publication of board actions: the Board in discussing this pro- posal noted that the minutes of the Board meetings are “open” to all alumni and, in the opinion of the Board, matters of significant interest are being given appro- priate publicity. Proposed By-Laws changes (see number seven below) will be published in advance in the Alumni Magazine and the alumni will be brought up-to-date on all By-Laws as soon as feasible (see number ten below). 5. Proxy voting: the Board took note that voting by proxy had been tried in the past and found to be not in the best interest of the Association and the University. It is the Board’s obligation to repre- sent the interest and views of alumni generally, and in view of the wide dispersal of alumni of our University the Board felt that proxy voting would more readily tend to militant minority control than in majority control. The Board therefore unanimously de- clined to approve this resolution. 6. Revision of Article VIII: in considering this the Board unan- imously agreed that the deletion of this phrase (By-Law Article VIII (b) “except as otherwise provided by action of the Board of Trus- tees’) would limit the Board, which has the ultimate responsibility for carrying on the business and _ pro- 23 gram of the Association, and conse- quently declined to take the action suggested by the resolution. 7. Tenure of Trustees: the Board noted that it has, for some time, had under study the membership and tenure of the Alumni Board of ‘Trustees; that such study was reported to the Association at its General Meeting in June, 1960. The proposals under study would result in greater tenure, as advo- cated by Dr. Herold, but would still require a rotating Board. The committee directing this study ex- pects to have specific proposals for presentation to the General Asso- clation meeting in June, 1961, with advance publication in the Alumni Magazine. Accordingly, the Board agreed to defer action on the first part of this resolution until such time as the changes now under consideration are accepted or rejected. 8. Bond: the Board took note of a letter from the Treasurer of the University advising “This is to certify that Washington and Lee University carried a blanket posi- tion bond with the National Surety Corporation of New York which covers the Treasurer of the Un1- versity and all other employees who handle any University funds whatsoever, including Funds.” Alumni g. On Magazine being sent only to contributors to Alumni Fund: the Board expressed its opinion that the worth derived from our Magazine being sent to all alumni regardless of their contributions, lies in the intangible good relations it brings and unanimously agreed that the present policy be contin- ued with no change. 10. Publication of By-Laws: the Board noted that the publication of the charter and by-laws is al- ready under consideration and 1s awaiting the proposed revisions re- garding membership and tenure of the Board of Trustees mentioned 24 in paragraph number seven above. ‘The Board agreed that as soon as practicable thereafter a publication of the charter and by-laws would be effected. 11. Enlargement of Magazine staff: the Board, after considering the expense involved and the opin- ion of its editorial board represen- tative, concluded that such a move was not justified at the present time. Among other actions the board (a) approved the Homecoming date of October 14, 1961 when the Gen- erals will play Randolph-Macon men’s college; (b) appointed new members of the Editorial Board; (c) approved a resoluiton by the Alumni Fund Council regarding the class note section of the Alum- nt Magazine and took under ad- visement another resolution by this same body regarding annual re- ports of the Association and of the University; (d) accepted a re- port from the Memphis chapter regarding their participation in a “Seminar for Public Responsibil- ity’ in their area; and (e) received a personal report from President Cole on various aspects of the Uni- versity.

Everett, who departed this life last April 4th at Atlanta, Georgia. ‘To this end, a committee of members of the 1920 class is hereby named to draft appropriate resolutions, as follows: WHEREAS Willis M. Everett had_ be- come a distinguished and highly-respect- ed member of the Atlanta Bar, and, as was his nature, ever championed the caus- es of the unfortunate and underprivileged, and was always willing to undertake, wherever necessary, to defend a_ just though unpopular cause, and WHEREAS he served as comissioned officer with distinction in both World Wars, and, in 1946, was promoted to the rank of Colonel, Army Intelligence, and, while stationed at Nuremberg, Germany, was assigned to the most difficult and un- popular defense of his career: viz. the defense of 74 German officers and troopers accused of the slaughter of American and Belgian prisoners during the Battle of the Ardennes Bulge, otherwise better known as the “Malmedy Massacre,” and WHEREAS the fate of these Germans became, in time, a cause celebre, and the subject of many articles in the press, both in the United States and abroad, engend- ering strong emotions, overwhelmingly in favor of execution, and WHEREAS he believed that these Ger- mans had not had fair trials according to American notions of due process; that confessions had been coerced from them, and documentary evidence in their favor had been destroyed, and was willing to accept the challenge of their defense with- out reservation; further, that he spent five years of his life and considerable personal fortune in appeals to save the lives of these unfortunates, before the United States Supreme Court and the Court of International Justice at the Hague, his efforts resulting in the com- mutation of death sentences to sentences of life imprisonment in each instance, and WHEREAS, we, the members of the 1920 class, take a just pride that Willis was our Class-mate, and considering that his untiring efforts reflected much credit to his alma mater, that this conduct was in its best traditions, and far beyond the call of duty, NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLV- ED, (1) that we, his class-mates, mourn his untimely death; (2) that, in order that his services not be forgotten, these reso- lutions be entered upon the official rec- ords of his alma mater; (3) that copies thereof be transmitted to the family of our class-mate, to the Board of ‘Trustees, to the Alumni Association, and to Pres- ident Cole and the members of the Ad- ministrative Board of Washington and Lee University, for such further action as may be considered appropriate.

Rayder, ’30, has spent more time in extra-curricular activities than any Washington and Lee student—but he’s been at it for 30 years. The 57-year-old vice president and trust officer of the Rockbridge National Bank puts in his time in the all-important post of Washing- ton and Lee student body treas- urer. In this capacity he directly supervises the expenditure of all student funds at the university. Unpaid and often not thanked for his efforts, Rayder started on his financial whirl with Washington and Lee while he was a student here. He was the first and only student to serve as student body treasurer. He held the post his senior year and ever since. For twenty-five years, Rayder car- ried the dual responsibility of the administration of student body funds and the keeping of books for the then fourteen social frater- nities on campus. He retired as the fraternities’ financial adviser in 1955 when he was named to his present position at the bank. He still serv- es as advisor for his own Sigma Chi, however. The most time-consuming por- tion of the student body treasurer’s job is the supervision of funds for campus publications. Rayder hand- les the budgets for the Calyx, The Southern Collegian and the Ring- tum Phi. Born in the little Arkansas town of Watson, Rayder came to Lex- ington in 1924 as a freshman. That same year he took a job at the Rockbridge Bank. He obtained his law degree from the university in 1930. Rayder’s banking interest stems from his 15th birthday when he as- sumed the job of cashier—the only one in knee pants—of a small coun- try bank in Desha County, Arkan- sas. From this little bank he came to Washington and Lee at the sug- gestion of an alumnus who was employed by Little Rock’s W. B. Northern Private Bank. Besides being an active layman in Lexington’s First Presbyterian Church, Rayder has found time during the past 30 years to collect antique autos. At one point he had a total of six old cars. Commer- cially, his interest in cars led him to the presidency of the Rockbridge Motor Company, a local dealer- ship. Some of his active interest in Washington and Lee student af- fairs has rubbed off on his family— at least Sam W. Rayder, Jr. His 18-year-old son is a freshman this year at his father’s alma mater. Rayder also has two daughters and two grandchildren. 27 CLass NOTES JosepH J. KAPLAN, an attorney in Louis- ville, was named ‘‘man of the year” by the B'nai B'rith Lodge 14 there.
