SPRING 1961 1 New Gifts Received To Promote Scholarship and Faculty Aid $125,000 FUND PROGRAMS CONNECTED WITH NAMES OF THREE PROMINENT ALUMNI HREE GENEROUS benefactors have T given Washington and Lee $125,000 this spring to foster the University scholarship and faculty aid programs. James H. Clark, °31, a Dallas businessman, made an initial gift of $25,000 to be used to stimulate excellence in teaching among facul- ty members. The gift is the first of four which he will make over a four-year period. In accordance with Mr. Clark’s wishes, the University will use the funds to increase salaries of “those faculty members who possess dis- tinguished records of teaching serv- ice in Washington and Lee’s class- rooms and laboratories.” The first awards will be made for the 1961-62 school year. Mr. Clark attended Washington and Lee from 1927 to 1929. He is chairman of the board of the Phila- delphia Suburban Water Com- pany and serves as an officer, direc- tor or on the executive committees of many national corporations, in- cluding Diebold Incorporated, Mis- sissippi Valley Barge Lines, and Investors Diversified Services. President Fred C. Cole declared, “It is especially significant that Mr. Clark recognized the vital need for Washington and Lee and higher education in general to provide proper compensation for its teach- ers. His generous support en- ables Washington and Lee to make further progress in its continuing program for improving faculty sal- aries. We are deeply indebted to Mr. Clark, not only for the mone- tary value of his gift, but for the encouragement and incentive it brings to our faculty. “It is Mr. Clark’s wish that his gift not only serve as a measure of recognition for past service, but that it help create added incentive for Washington and Lee professors to develop still further their tal- ents and abilities as teachers of undergraduates.” * * * A fund of $50,000, provided by an anonymous donor, has_ been established at Washington and Lee to give scholarship assistance to students preparing for medical careers. Proceeds from the gift will sup- port a scholarship fund, to be known as the “J. W. Warner, M.D., Scholarship Fund,’ honoring the late Dr. John W. Warner, ‘03. The awards will be given to up- perclassmen majoring in pre-medi- cal studies who possess “those ex- ceptional qualifications, academic and otherwise, needed to accept the immense responsibility and challenge of serving mankind through medicine.” ‘The amount of financial assistance will be in ac- cord with an individual student’s need. The University expects to award the first Warner scholarships at the close of this semester. “The importance of encouraging promising young men to pursue careers in medicine cannot be over- emphasized,” President Cole said. “Recently, there has been a de- cline in the number and quality of applications for admission to medi- cal careers. This is due, in part, to the extraordinary economic sacri- fice required of men pursuing medi- cal careers. Many of our best stu- dents and potentially our best doc- tors are, for reasons beyond their control, deterred by this prospect and turn to other fields. Material encouragement should be given to those young men who elect to pur- sue this difficult road orf life.”’ Dr. Warner was a gynecologist, and headed the obstetrical division of Doctors’ Hospital in Washing- ton at the time of his death in 1946. He attended the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York, and was assistant gynecoloz- ist at Roosevelt Hospital in New York City, before going to Wash- ington in 1920. He served in the Army Medical Corps in France during World War I, and received the Verdun Medal. He was a mem- THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE James H. CLark, ’31 ber of the American College of Surgeons and was a Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine. * * * A bequest of $50,000 has been re- ceived from the estate of the late Mrs. Samuel Jordan Graham of Washington, D.C., for scholar- ships. Income from the bequest will es- tablish the Judge and Mrs. Samuel Jordan Graham Scholarships at Washington and Lee for upper- classmen with outstanding records in political science, pre-medicine, and law. An additional sum of $3,500 was bequested to the University by Mrs. Graham to provide perpetual maintenance of the grave of Wil- liam Graham on the campus near Lee chapel. William Graham, first man to hold the title of president of the institution, was an ancestor of the late Judge Graham. Mrs. Graham died December 5, 1959, and is buried in Lexington at the Graham family plot. Judge Graham was a member of the class of 1876 at Washington and Lee. SPRING 1961 TT. SOUNDS OF bulldozers, ham- mers and saws are ringing out once more at Washington and Lee, as construction men begin work on three separate projects on campus. The largest of the three, a four- story building for the department of physics and biology, and modi- fications to Howe Hall, will cost $1,359,836. A four-story dormitory to house ninety-one students, most of them freshmen, will cost $326,- 545. A new steam boiler, and 1m- provements to the existing heating plant to take care of additional buildings, will involve an expendi- ture of $49,949.72. Target date for completion of all construction is August 1, 1962. Including equipment, furnish- ings, and fees, the three projects will cost the University nearly $2,000,000. The science facilities are a direct result of the two-year campaign which sought funds from among Washington and Lee’s alumni, par- ents, and friends. Turning their dollars into imposing brick struc- tures for generations of scholars is a feat in which all who donated can take pride. The new science building will re- lieve generally crowded conditions in Howe Hall, which now houses chemistry, geology, and biology. It will provide a new location for the department of physics, now situat- ed in Reid Hall, which is scheduled for renovation in the future to ac- commodate the department of jour- nalism and communications. Development Campaign Dollars Are Turning Into Bricks, Steel ‘The new dormitory will be a self-liquidating investment, and will serve the primary purpose of eliminating the use of several small auxiliary dormitories for freshmen. ‘The building will complete a three- unit housing center. two other facilities, Newton D. Baker dormi- tory for upperclassmen, and John W. Davis dormitory for law stu- dents, were completed in 1959, along with Evans Dining Hall. The new dormitory will connect with Davis Hall, forming a U-shaped arrangement with the other units. The old Preston house, once the location of the University medical office and lately a freshman dormi- tory, is being razed to make room for the modern building. Of the University’s normal class of 320 freshmen, only 277 can be accommodated in the regular fresh- man dormitory. The new building, to be directly across Washington street from the freshman dorm, will rectify this condition. Additions to the heating plant will take care of the new science building, and also will provide adequate reserve capacity for im- provement of the existing general heating system. : : Architect for all projects is the Lynchburg firm of Clark, Nexsen, and Owen. Contractors for the work are: for the science building, John P. Pettyjohn and Company of Lynchburg; for the dormitory, W. W. Coffey and Son of Lexing- ton; and for the heating plant, the Boiler and Brick Refractory Com- pany of Richmond. Universities and Athletics: An Address ACADEMIC STANDARDS AND INTEGRITY MUST BE MAINTAINED IN REGARD TO SPORTS By FRED GC. COLE President of Washington and Lee Dr. Cole recently participated in a special panel of the Sixteenth Annual National Confer- ence on Higher Education in Chicago. Discus- sions included the relationship of athletics to college standards. A summation of Dr. Cole’s re- marks is presented here. ORMAL AND ORGANIZED athletic competition is an Boo and venerable institution of western civilization. The association of athletics with educa- tional institutions is old and is characteristic of British--American culture. Athletics therefore have a legitimate place in American colleges and universities; interest and participation in sports by students 1s both normal and desirable. An extracurricular athletic program is however an adjunct, and not a primary essential, of an edu- cational institution. Colleges, technological institutes, and universities are the only agencies in our society which can provide the higher academic and _profes- sional instruction which the society requires. ‘They have been established for this specific purpose. Suc- cessful athletic programs are conducted by many kinds of non-educational agencies. In other words, education and schools must exist together; athletics and schools can and often do exist separately. ‘The objectives and standards of a university should there- fore be determined by its educational mission; extra- curricular interests should be governed in conform- ance with these objectives and standards. Furthermore, it should be obvious that the future of the world depends upon the effectiveness with which trained intelligence can be brought to bear upon the major problems of man and his universe. The adequacy of our education will be the deciding factor. The results of games will signify nothing. An intercollegiate athletic program should bene- fit both the participants and the institutions which they represent. 4 For individuals, the advantages and satisfactions of athletic competition might include the develop- ment of physique, character, and personality, and emotional catharsis. The experience is represented as instilling self-reliance, as fostering simultaneously the desire to excel and the spirit of fair play, and as in- culcating the ability to cooperate for mutual ends, even at the sacrifice of immediate self-aggrandizement. ATHLETICS ARE VALUABLE If any of these claims are valid—and at least some of them are in most cases—athletics make a valuable contribution to the educational process. It follows, then, that colleges and universities should provide op- portunities for as many students as possible to take part in organized sports. The number of participants will vary, of course, from one school to another, as will the number of intercollegiate sports. ‘There ap- pears to be no necessary correlation between the breadth of the program and the popular identifica- tion of the school with emphasis on athletics, or with the strength or type of competition which is normally faced. Expense of operation is obviously a major factor in the maintenance of a high-participation program. Normally, no more than two or three sports, and some- times none besides football, pay their way through gate receipts. Some institutions depend upon profits from these sports to finance others to a great extent. Others consider athletic costs a legitimate general or educa- tional expense. Under the circumstances, only those institutions with relatively great endowments or other sources of large general income can conduct broad programs of intercollegiate athletics. Institutional benefits of intercollegiate athletics -are usually conceived in vicarious or empathic terms. Students and alumni identify themselves with the team, exult in its success, despair in its defeat. Inter- THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE est in the team provides a unifying bond among stu- dents in different academic programs, and alumni in diverse occupations living in many places. It also serves as a continuing link between the alumni and their alma mater. This association is wholesome as long as it remains subordinate to and apart from edu- cational considerations, which should always be the chief source of student and alumni pride and affection. There is no evident connection whatever between touchdowns or goals and the quality of teaching in academic classrooms. SPECTATOR ACCOMMODATIONS Many others besides students and alumni are in- terested in college sports, and a college or university should provide the spectator accommodations which it reasonably can for persons genuinely interested in its athletic teams and in those of its usual opponents. It is not obligated to conduct entertainment or spec- tacles with no educational value for the benefit of the general public. As the objective in any competition is to win or ex- cel, it is recognized that value must be placed upon victory. But if athletics are to continue as a whole- some influence, victory should never be the overriding consideration in college athletics. It is assumed that words so often used by coaches and others interested in sports (character-building, sportsmanship, team spirit, and others of similar import) represent true goals and not mere lip service. A winning athletic team may be a source of great satisfaction; but it is small compensation for loss of integrity by an indi- vidual or an institution. Not more than half the teams which play on a given day can win. Where tie scores can occur, fewer than half will gain victory. If victory is the only grati- fication to be had, the total of disappointment will always be greater than the total of satisfaction. It would be foolish to support a system which is logic- ally absurd and psychologically damaging. Sports should provide a healthy catharsis of emotions and not a pathological frustration. Victory has, of course, an economic aspect. Win- ning teams ordinarily draw more spectators than the losing ones; and many institutions depend upon gate receipts for most of their athletic income. But it must be remembered that it serves no educational purpose to play winning contests in order to attract crowds large enough to finance winning contests. It is indeed a vicious cycle when this occurs. TIGHTEN ADMISSIONS No admission policy should be designed to facili- tate the enrollment of persons who wish to attend an SPRING 1961 institution primarily for purposes other than educa- tional. Admissions pressures will continue to increase. Our civilization cannot afford to deny a superior edu- cation to a superior person in order that a boy with little or no scholastic ability may be allowed to play games. If the academic standards and integrity of an edu- cational institution are to be maintained in regard to athletics, the athletic policies and practices of the institution must be subject to academic authority. The faculty should have full authority for prescribing all curricula, methods and criteria for instruction, and rules of eligibility for participation in athletics. The athletic director, or similar officer should be respon- sible to a principal administrative officer of the in- stitution, on the same basis as any other subordinate administrative officer, and subject to the same policy regarding appointment and removal. The budget of the athletic department should be subject to the ap- proval and audit of the chief fiscal officer of the in- stitution. Any standing executive or advisory com- mittee which functions in the field of athletics should be appointed in the same way and by the same au- thority as similar committees in other areas of admin- istration, and its members should serve as individuals rather than as representatives of any groups or in- terests. No organization of students, alumni, or other persons, within or without the institution, should have any more to say about athletic policy and procedure than it has in regard to academic policies, excluding, of course, athletic conference organizations and the National Collegiate Athletic Association. EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES At this point in history, it is imperative that the most effective possible use be made of America’s educa- tional resources. Any serious hindrance to this purpose may be disastrous, and even minor obstacles are dan- gerous. ‘The best instruction must be given to the best students. Universities and colleges of high standards should resist pressures upon themselves, and to help other institutions to do so. Those seeking athletic pre- eminence are often a small but highly vocal minority, while those who favor educational excellence are fre- quently a silent majority. The proper relationship of intercollegiate sports to the general framework of higher education is a prob- lem, varying in its scope and intensity from one in- stitution to another. But it is not a problem without a solution or solutions. It is my hope that the prin- ciples and beliefs that I have expounded rather dog- matically here will prove helpful, if not in solving problems, at least in stimulating thinking in what I believe is the proper direction. Many Washington and Lee Teachers Win Study Grants and Fellowships AWARDS WILL ASSIST WITH WORK DURING SUMMER AND NEXT YEAR CHOLARSHIP AMONG Washington and Lee’s faculty members is an accepted attribute. But acknowledgement of that talent is receiving an even greater recognition this year. A_ large number of fellowships and study grants have been awarded to pro- fessors for advanced study or re- search projects which will further their classroom instruction. Many of these awards are to the Univer- sity’s junior faculty members, which is a healthy sign of progress. These are some of the outstand- ing awards for this summer or next year: Dr. Robert D. Whitaker, ’54, as- sistant professor of chemistry, has received a $4,518 grant from the Research Corporation of New York for a summer research project. He will continue a study of compounds between iodine-chlor- ides and amines begun last year under a Glenn grant. Assisting him will be a senior, John R. Ambrose of Roselle Park, New Jersey. About half the grant will be used to pur- chase equipment for the study, which will begin July 1. Charles B. Brockmann, an in- structor in Romance languages, is one of sixty-five college teachers in America to be awarded a Dan- forth Teacher Study Grant for next year. He will study two semesters and two summers at the University of California in Berkeley. His 6 current field of research is the work of the late Albert Camus, a con- temporary French writer. Robert E. R. Huntley, ‘50, asso- ciate professor of law, was awarded a $6,750 Fellowship in Law Teach- ing by Harvard University, and will attend that college in 1961-62. Dr. William A. Jenks, ’39, profes- sor of history, won a $6,000 grant from the Social Research Council for research in Austria next year. Dr. Leonard E. Jarrard, assist- ant professor of psychology, was given a $2,300 research grant from the National Institute of Health to study the effects of irradiation on behavior. Eleven other professors will share $4,419 in Glenn Grants from the University for research and study projects through 1961. They are: Dr. Jay D. Cook, ’43, associate professor of accounting, for re- search on national income account- ing. | | Dr. Sidney B. B. Coulling, ’46, assistant professor of English, for research in the Huntington Li- brary in Pasadena, California, on the influence of Jonathan Swift upon Thomas Carlyle. Dr. Cecil D. Eby, Jr., assistant professor of English, for research on certain American authors in the Boston area in connection with an advanced American literature course which he will teach next year. Thomas E. Ennis, Jr., assistant professor of accounting, for study at several large public accounting firms, including interviews and observations concerning new de- velopments in public accounting. Dr. Fitzgerald Flournoy, ’21, professor of English, for study of Shakespeare and the Elizabethan the University of Birmingham sum- mer school. summer school.. Dr. ‘Thomas P. Hughes, associate professor of history, for work in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on a project begun last year, “An In- ternational History of the Electri- cal Industry, 1870-1914.” Dr. James G. Leyburn, professor of sociology, for study at the Uni- versity of North Carolina and Duke University on recent develop- ments in sociological theory and methods, and a study of the or- ganization of the undergraduate major in sociology at these schools. Dr. Stanley T. Lowry, assistant professor of economics, for a study of land use history and potential in the Rockbridge County area, in- cluding an analysis of marketing possibilities for timber and other resources.

Ritz, ’38, professor of law, for preparation of a final manuscript for a “Bibliography of Virginia Legal History Prior to 1800.” Robert Stewart, associate pro- fessor.xof fine arts, to attend the THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Bennington Composers’ Confer- ence. Dr. Charles W. Turner, profes- sor of history, for research and study in Western American history at the University of California. The Glenn Fund was established in 1953, through a $120,000 gift from the late philanthropist, John M. Glenn, ’79, an official of the Russell Sage Foundation. Four professors have been award- ed grants for summer study by the Research Council of the University Center of Virginia, Incorporated. Dr. Paul C. Hayner, associate professor of philosophy and relig- ion, will continue research at the Harvard University libraries on a book he is preparing on the phil- oso of religion. Dr. Allen W. Moger, professor of history, will work on a book, “Vir- ginia in Transition, 1880-1914.” Dr. Leon F.

Patty, associate pro- fessor of Romance languages, will spend a month in France, to finish Dr. WILLIAM B. QUILLIAN, JR., president of Randolph-Macon Woman’s College in Lynchburg, will deliver the 1961 Bacca- laureate address on June 1 in Lee Chapel. SPRING 1961 research on Hippolyte Babou, a contemporary of Baudelaire. DR. EDWARD D. MYERS, head of the department of Philosophy, will re- sign from Washington and Lee this summer to become cultural attaché at the American Embassy in London, He has been a member of the faculty since 1949. ‘The new post will be the second such assignment he has held since 1958, when he was granted two years’ leave of absence to serve as cultural attaché at the American Embassy in Bonn, West Germany. An energetic scholar, he is the author of “Education in the Per- spective of History,’ and collabo- rated with British historian Arnold J. Toynbee in a gazetteer volume for use with Toynbee’s “A Study of History.” DR. EDWIN C. GRIFFITH Was ap- pointed to the Lexington School Board in January, filling an un- expired term of two and one-half years. He is professor of economics, and serves also as president of Stonewall Jackson Hospital. He is a past president of the Community Chest and of the Lexington Lions club, and has been on the board of the Chamber of Commerce. He is a member of the town’s planning commission and was formerly its chairman.

COLE received an honorary degree of doctor of laws from Union College at a spe- cial Founder’s Day convocation in Schenectady, New York, on Feb- ruary 24, 1961. He was also one of the two speakers for the occasion, which marked the 166th anniver- sary of the chartering of the col- lege. The other speaker was Col- gate W. Darden, former president of the University of Virginia, who discussed the future of the South. Dr. Cole’s subject was the career of Robert W. ‘Toombs, first secre- tary of state of the Confederacy, and an 1828 graduate of Union College. m@ DR. FRANCIS P. GAINES, chancellor of the University, was a speaker on February 5 at ceremonies in the Washington Cathedral, commemor- ating the one hundredth anniver- sary of the Peace Convention, called by Virginia in a futile at- tempt to avoid the Civil War. 8 ‘The Convention was held in the old Willard Hotel, February 4-27, 1861, with 121 delegates represent- ing 21 of the 94 states. Dr. Gaines said, in part, “The Peace Convention was right in its undertaking. I have never under- stood the scholars, perhaps carried away by their own rhetoric, who maintain that this war was needed to make us truly united. War, with its tidal waves of destruction and slaughter and grief, is the answer to no human problem, and it is an insult to the intelligence that God gave us that we cannot find other answers. Thus we dream of peace. The very postage symbol on our letters asks that we pray for peace. Possibly, and I speak reverently, we must do more than pray. Peace, it seems, it not to come while we are drifting and dreaming even in devotion. We must work for peace and in its behalf deny ourselves. We must seek to remove the causes of war.” IN AN HONORS convocation § ad- dress at Mary Baldwin College in February, Dean William W. Pusey, III, said the current craze for gad- gets, electronic brains, computers, and teaching machines is a serious threat to one of education’s most important by-products, individu- ality. “I am not naive enough to de- ny the usefulness of machines,” he declared. “However, their proli- feration makes me uneasy.” In discussing by-products of a liberal education, Dean Pusey cited enjoyment of reading as a valuable habit to be carried from college to adult life. Also among by-products he noted were independent judgment, a ra- tional approach to problems, in- tellectual humility, a distrust of total answers, tolerance, optimism, humor and contemplativeness. # THREE FACULTY members in the department of chemistry will be promoted effective September 1. Dr. John H. Wise will be upped from associate professor to profes- sor. Dr. J. Keith Shillington and Dr. William J. Watt, both assist- ant professors, will become asso- clate professors. Dr. Wise was a chemist for the Manhattan Project during World War II, and_ has been at Washington and Lee since 1953. Dr. Shillington is active in summer research work. Dr. Watt has taught for three summers at the institute for High School teachers sponsored by the National Science Foundation at Alabama College. mw DR. ESMARCH S. GILREATH, head of the chemistry department, will serve as a member of the faculty at a summer institute for college chemistry professors at Oregon State College, Corvallis, Oregon. The institute is one of three sponsored by the National Science Foundation to increase _ college teaching effectiveness in chemistry, and runs from June 26 to August 5. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Dr. Gilreath will direct a course in “Recent Developments in Or- ganic Chemistry.’ His textbook on organic chemistry has been used for the course in previous summer institutes at Oregon State. @ GEORGE J. IRWIN, 720, associate professor of Romance languages, is the translator of an English language edition of the highly ac- claimed, “Introduction to the Philosophy of History,’” by French sociologist Raymond Aron. The 349-page volume, published in April by Beacon Press, is the second work of Aron translated by Professor Irwin to be published this year. Last August, his rendi- tion of “France: Steadfast and Changing’ was published by the Harvard University Press. Professor Irwin has been a mem- ber of the faculty since 1925. @ DR. WILLIAM J. WATT, assistant professor of Chemistry, will be a member of the faculty of the sum- mer National Science Foundation Institute for high school teachers at Alabama College, Montevallo, Alabama. ‘The ten-week program is aimed at improving the competence of sci- ence teachers in secondary schools. They will be able to qualify for master’s degrees in science teach- ing after three such summer ses- sions. = WOODROW WILSON National Fel- lowships aimed at encouraging un- dergraduates to pursue careers in college teaching have been awarded to four University seniors. Receiving the highly-competitive awards for 1961-62 were: Grayfred B. Gray and James L. Hughes, Richmond, Virginia; James A. Vann, III, Birmingham, Alabama; and Lynwood D. Zinn, Clarksburg, SPRING 1961 West Virginia. The Fellowships cover the cost of the first year in graduate school. Gray will continue study in phil- osophy; Hughes in mathematics; Vann in history; and Zinn in an- thropology. Valedictorian BRIAN H. VITSKY gs A RICHMOND pre-medical student will deliver the valedictory address tor the 1961 graduating class. He is Brian H. Vitsky, a senior from Richmond. He achieved a_ nearly perfect 2.92 average of a possible 3.0. Son of a doctor, Brian expects to enter Johns Hopkins Medical school next year. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, having been selected during his junior year. He was awarded “outstanding sopho- more’ honor in 1959 by Phi Beta Kappa, on the basis of his academ- ic achievement. THE FIRST student one-man art show in the history of the Univer- sity’s Department of Fine Arts was staged in March by Norbert W. Irvine. He is a senior who turned from studies in commerce and eco- nomics to work in the fine arts, and has taken every art course offered here. For two years he has served as a departmental student assistant to Professor Marion Junkin, and also holds art classes for some Lexing- ton school children three times a week. In his exhibit were thirty paint- ings and pieces of sculpture, a num- ber of which were sold to specta- tors. His sculpture mainly involved the use of scrap metal, welded to- gether to form startling angular designs. His biggest project to date has been the creation of a bronze bowl through a “lost wax”’ process made popular during the Renais- sance. He carved the bowl from pure wax, formed a mold of fine plaster about it, then fired it con- tinuously for thirty-six hours to melt the wax from inside the mold. Then it was cast in bronze at a Waynesboro foundry. From near Lexington, Norbert is married to the former Celia Cim- mons of Burlington, North Caro- lina. He hopes for a career in teaching, after he attends graduate school next year. ONE OF THE newer students at Washington and Lee is a Rock- bridge county businessman, George A. Lear, a 1935 political science graduate of Brown University. He is enrolled as a special student in the School of Commerce and Ad- ministration, where he is learning why he became the successful busi- nessman he did. Mr. Lear took over his father’s lumber business in 1935 and ran it until World War II brought him duty as a combat officer in the Marine Corps. In 1946, he became president of Moor and White, one of the world’s largest manufactur- ers of pulp and paper mill mach- inery, and held this position ten years. He now has business inter- ests in Philadelphia, and in Lex- ington, where he is back in the timber business again. He hopes to enter the Law School here next September, ful- 9 filling an ambition he held during his undergraduate days at Brown. His twenty-six year vacation from formal study hasn’t bothered him at all, and he says that studying isn’t half the drudgery that many younger students claim it is. # A DEBATE team composed solely of freshmen won three of twelve individual speaking awards given at the Mt. Mercy Varsity Invita- tional Debate ‘Tournament in Pitts- burgs this spring. Thirteen col- leges took part, and only Duquesne University gained more individual honors than Washington and Lee. The team was composed of Wil- liam A. Noell, Jr., Bluefield, West Virginia; Alfred E. Eckes, Jr., Brad- ford, Pennslyvania; John W. Clark, Jr., Birmingham, Alabama; and John H. Kirkley, Atlanta, Georgia. At the Miami University Invita- tional Cross-Exemination Debate Tournament at Oxford, Ohio, two Washington and Lee _ debaters ranked high in honors. William Boardman of Columbus, Ohio, took second place among 64 debat- ers from leading colleges and uni- versities. William Buice of Char- lotte, North Carolina, placed sev- enth.

Edward A. Corcoran, ’60, of South Richmond Hull, New York, was awarded the nickel company’s 3-2 Combined Study Program Scholarship at R.P.I. It is the cus- tom of the company to award a companion grant of $1,000 to the liberal arts college from which the student in the program transferred. Under the combined study pro- gram conducted by Washington and Lee and Rensselaer, a student normally attends the University for three years, then transfers to Rensselaer for two additional years, and receives a B.S. degree from Washington and Lee, and an en- gineering degree from Rensselaer upon graduation. By carrying more than the norm- al academic load, Mr. Corcoran won his bachelor’s degree here in only three years, and expects to complete his work on a chemical engineering degree at Rensselaer in just one year. = TWO GIFTS have been made to the Director’s Fund of the Lee Memorial Journalism Foundation.

Both have donated to the Fund in previous years. = SENATOR BARRY Goldwater of Ari- zona, leader of the Conservative Republicans, spoke before a capac- ity crowd of 1,300 at Doremus gym- nasium on March 1. His address was sponsored by Pi Sigma Alpha, honorary political science fraterni- ty. With a topic of “Federal Aid to Education Is Unnecessary,’ the senator declared states can finance THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE their own public schools, if they will but make the effort. And local financing avoids the big carrying charge levied on the taxpayer by the federal government, he added. While making it clear he is no segregationist, he said he thinks it would be a mistake for Congress to enact further civil rights legislation this year. “Let’s leave this thing alone for awhile,’ he declared. He voiced the opinion that Richard Nixon might’ve won the presiden- tial election by picking up more Southern states if he had not em- phasized the Republican civil rights program. m= DR..GERMAINE BREE, a member of the Institute for Research in the Humanities at the University of Wisconsin, discussed “The writer and Our Times: Malreux, Satre, Camus,” on April 10.

They _ hus- tled all year, making up for lack of height and experience, but the night they hustled the most was on February 13 when they pulled off a 78-68 upset victory over the University of Virginia. Of course, this was no great team of Cavaliers, but even so, Coach Billy McCann’s Atlantic Coast Con- ference team was supposed to have easy pickings against the outman- ned Generals. But led by the fiery play-making of sophomore Brett Thackston, the game’s top scorer with 27 points, and by the tremen- dous rebounding and _ scoring of sophomore Rodger Fauber, the Generals grabbed the lead early and held it. Fauber, who wound up the season among the national leaders in rebounding, grabbed off 24 rebounds and added 26 points in the win over Virginia. The Generals also proved a spoil- er for the Little Eight champs, Randolph-Macon, when the Jackets came to Doremus Gymnasium. Fauber with 23 and Thackston with 18 were the big guns in a 73- 69 win. The team was handicapped in the late stages of the campaign by injuries which deprived it of the THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE services of Ken Kowalski, still an- other sophomore, and by the loss of 6-6” freshman John McDowell due to academic difficulties. But Coach Bob McHenry has the en- tire bunch back next year, plus some additional support from some freshmen surprises off a frosh team with a 11-4 season which included a string of eight straight wins at one point. Fauber was named to the sec- ond team of the Associated Press All-Virginia small college team. ‘The Generals’ swimmers, braving a beefed-up schedule but setting new pool records in the process, didn’t repeat their unbeaten sea- son of last year, but the 6-4 record they did compile brought no loss of prestige. Again led by Elliott Maynard, the brilliant breast stroke speedster, the swimmer added to a winter sports domination of the University of Virginia by besting the Cavalier mermen 59-33 early in the season. Coach Norris Eastman, who as- sumed the coaching duties this year from long-time veteran E. P. “Cy” Twombly, entered Maynard in the Eastern Intercollegiate Champion- ships at Princeton, and the Port- land, Me., junior placed second in the 100-yard breast stroke. At sea- son's end, Maynard was ranked 12th among men in his event in the nation. In wrestling, a sport slowly but surely climbing back into a _ posi- tion of preeminence at Washing- ton and Lee, the General matmen enjoyed their best season in years with a 7-3 record. In the final match of the year, the wrestlers made it a clean sweep over Virginia with an unprecedented 28-0 victory for Coach Dick Miller. Losses were to North Carolina, Franklin and Marshall, and West Virginia, while victories were re- corded over New York University, Pfeiffer, Gallaudet, Hampden- Sydney, Duke, N. C. State, and Virginia. SPRING 1961 With the spring sports season half completed as of this writing, winning seasons are in _ prospect for every sport except lacrosse, where inexperience and injuries have hurt grieviously. After having suffered 1-15 and 3-17 seasons in two previous years, the baseball team—composed _ es- sentially of the same players—has risen up to assume a role of op- portunists. Behind superb pitch- ing by senior right hander Roy Carpenter—known last year as “Hard Luck” Carpenter—timely hitting and excellent base running, Coach Joe Lyle’s team has moved to a 6-4 mark at mid-season. Carpenter now has won four straight, as have the Generals, and chances are good that Washington and Lee may have its first winning baseball season since 1952 when the Generals carded a 10-7 record. A relatively weak schedule is keeping the track team from dis- playing just how much depth and balance it does possess. Coach Norm Lord’s thinclads have now won 15 straight dual meets over a two-year span, just completing their second undefeated season in a row. Jim Hickey, a junior from South Boston, has established new Wash- ington and Lee records in the 100 and 220-yd. dashes. Against Lynch- burg College, he ran the 100 in 9-75, Shading the g.8 mark that three other W&L runners, includ- ing Cy Young, had held since 1930 when W. S. Sandifer last ran a record-tying race. Earlier against Wake Forest, Hickey sped 220 yards on a straight track in 21.3, three-tenths of a second better than R. P. Grant’s mark of 1931. Coach Cy Twombly’s golfers are 6-1 so far this season, with Jack Vardaman continuing to lead the linksmen in his junior year. Coach Bill Washburn’s tennis team is 6-8, with the Generals getting good play from senior Bill McWilliams and freshman John Baker. The lacrosse team is suffering at the 3-7 stage of its season, and things will get no better, it seems, this year. Some promising fresh- men and sophomores are on hand, but in lacrosse, perhaps more than any other sport, nothing counts so much as experience and the skill that comes with it. A notable win was in an 8-5 victory over the tour- ing team from Oxford-Cambridge Universities in England, the first contest on American soil for the British, whose team was a host to the W. and L. squad which toured England in 1956.
