WINTER 1962 The Fanctest Fancy Dress of All Evans Dining Hall Is New Scene Of 1962’s Night of ‘High Society’ ANCY DRESS for 1962 wasn’t real- ly fancy dress at all, yet virtual- ly everyone who attended the 53rd annual renewal of this hallowed Washington and Lee _ tradition would agree that perhaps it was the fanciest Fancy Dress of them all. There were several breaks with tradition for this one, and if they become permanent breaks it will reflect the general enthusiasm and interest which the 1962 Fancy Dress generated among the student body. This year’s ball was not a cos- tume ball, at least not in the strict sense of the term, and that marked one departure from a practice that Miss Annie Jo White is said to have started back in 1907. There was the usual Fancy Dress theme, but it wasn’t something lke “An Odyssey ‘Through Empires,’ or “Fhe:..Land of Oz,’ or “Mardi Gras,” or any of the other extrava- ganzas that alumni associate with Fancy Dress. Instead, the 1962 theme was “High Society,” and the costumes involved white tie and tails for the gentlemen and elegant formal ballroom gowns for the la- cies. If the ball had been held in Doremus Gymnasium, it might have been difficult to distinguish Fancy Dress from any other formal President Bit IE and his lady, Miss SARAH HircH, await start of the opening figure. The Dining Hall balcony provided a magnificent view of the couples below. Looking on, l. to r., Treasurer E. S. MATTINGLY, President Cote, Mrs. CoLe, VMI Superintendent GrorcGE R. E. SHELL, Mrs. SHELL, and Dr. L. J. DeEsHa. dance that has taken place there. But, at the students’ request, it wasn’t held in Doremus, and it was this break with tradition that transformed an essentially formal dance into the fanciest Fancy Dress ball ever. The 1962 setting was Letitia Pate Evans Dining Hall. The great hall’s soaring columns, its high, vaulted ceiling, the magnificent chandeliers, and smooth marble underfoot blended with dancers, orchestra, and music in a way that made difficult the realization that such prosaic items as scrambled eges, mashed potatoes, and con- gealed salad were normally more appropriate for the building’s gen- eral purpose. Economically, the ball was a smash success—both for the dollar- conscious Dance Board and _ for some equally dollar-conscious stu- dents. ‘The overall attendance was between 1,300 and 1,400, and the student attendance was nearly double the normal count of some 250 couples for recent Fancy Dress affairs. Because each date was ex- pected to possess her own costume already, students had only to rent their formal dress from the same company that usually provides the jester suits, the pirate get-ups, and the Confederate uniforms. There was very little that Fancy Dress President Bill Ide, a senior from Statesville, North Carolina, and his vice-presidents could do to decorate or improve on the Dining Hall setting. The fact that none of them had ever attended Fancy Dress before didn’t really matter. While hundreds of guests lined three sides of the dance floor and chaperones and official guests watched from the balcony, twenty- five couples evolved the opening figure based on the presentation of notables at a state ceremonial ball in the nation’s capital. While Pro- fessor Ross Borden announced the ambassadors, cabinet members, and other notables, figure participants emerged from the world of stainless steel pots, pans, and ladles of the dining hall kitchen into the world of make believe that has been a part of every Fancy Dress. Duke Ellington and his famous orchestra, playing against the back- drop of the University coat of arms, made the music, and the ball- room and its throng of exuberant young people made the 1962 Fan- cy Dress a memorable one. The University was put to much trouble arranging for the ball. Ta- bles and chairs had to be stored at various points about the campus, then moved back immediately in order that interruption of normal dining hall service would be min- imized. Everyone was caught up in the spirit of doing something new and different, and everyone was pleased that it turned out so well. Even Miss White would have agreed that this one was the fanciest. The elegance of formal dress was appropriate for the ball room, but amid the tools of the kitchen where the figure formed, it was amusingly incongruous. WINTER 1962 Dr. Atwood New Dean Of Students R. EDWARD GC. ATWOOD, JR. be- D came Washington and Lee University’s new Dean of Students on February 1, taking over a job held by Dean Frank J. Gilliam for over thirty years. Dean Gilliam continues as Dean of Admissions, another job that he has held for many years and one that has become so complex today that he says it requires his full at- tention. Since 1951 Dean Gilliam officially has ‘“‘worn two hats” in the University administration, and his unofficial association of student and admissions responsibilities goes back even further. A former associate professor of economics at Washington and Lee, Dean Atwood returned to the Uni- versity from New York where he was a Consultant—Investor Rela- tions Research for General Electric. President Fred C. Cole empha- sized the importance of the admin- istration realignment when he said: “Dr. Atwood’s appointment makes it possible for Dean Gilliam to concentrate on the increasingly complex and increasingly import- ant matter of admissions. He has felt for some time that his admis- sions work requires his full atten- tion. Following a careful study of the matter, I have concurred in his recommendation that the functions of his office be divided and that he be given opportunity for concentra- tion on admissions and the prob- lems of relationship between Wash- ington and Lee and_ secondary schools.” Dean Gilliam has the full-time Deans GILLiAM, left, and ATWooD assistance of James D. Farrar, who became Associate Dean of Admis- sions, while continuing to direct the University’s student financial aid and scholarship program. As Dean of Students, Dr. Atwood is responsible administratively for the further development of a healthy balance among various facets of student life at Washing- ton and Lee. His main job is to see that students study and behave themselves. He has assistance from Dr. David W. Sprunt, University Chaplain and Associate Dean of Students. “I am extremely pleased that Dean Atwood has rejoined the staff,’ Dean Gilliam said. “We know from his past work here what a thoroughly competent person he is and I am impressed by the excel- lent start he has made in this new work. He has had wide experience in working with Washington and Lee students in many and varied activities. I look forward to close association and close cooperation with him.” Dean Atwood, who is 39, is a native of New York City and a graduate of Princeton University where he earned A.B., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees. He joined the Wash- ington and Lee faculty in 1952 as an assistant professor of economics, and was promoted to associate pro- fessor 1N 1959. He left Washington and Lee in 1960 to join the General Electric Company’s staff of economists in New York. Since then, he and his wife and two young sons have made their home in Wilton, Connecticut. While at Washington and Lee, Dean Atwood gained a reputation among students as one of the Unt- versity’s most demanding but most popular professors. He taught courses in elementary economics, money and banking, business cy- cles, and banking problems. As professor of economics, Dean Atwood devotes a portion of his time to teaching in the School of Commerce and Administration. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE A Confluence of Iwo Streams: The pee ee and the Regional Dr. Joseph Robert, Former President Of Hampden-Sydney and Now Pro- fessor of History at the University of Richmond, Gave the 1962 ODK Ad- dress. Like All Good Speeches, It “Reads” As Well As It “Listens.” RESIDENT COLE, MR. PAGE, Members of the admin- P istration, the faculty, and the student body—I greatly appreciate these warm words of welcome. Hay- ing suffered in my own experience from a multitude of assembly speakers, I realize that there is only one appropriate way to show my gratitude. I shall re- strict my remarks to 25 minutes, allowing, of course, the usual 10 per cent declamatory tolerance. Also, ac- cording to my present plans, I shall recite no more than twice—two times, mind you—the full names of that brace of prominent Virginians who in combina- tion represent the legal title of this instiution. And for historians speaking in Lexington, I dare say that this last restraint may be something of a record. But first of all I would lke to congratulate that member of your faculty who is among the founders of the leadership fraternity directing the exercises of this day, Rupert N. Latture. I shall not embarrass him by delivering a premature eulogy, but I would like to remind you that the noblest art is the art of liv- ing, living generously and graciously, and this is his biography. WINTER 1962 Dr. RoBerts Accepts Congratu- lations On His Address. Omicron Delta Kappa is the lengthened shadow of good men furthering the grand reconciliation between the leaders and the led, the teachers and the taught. Thus Professor Latture is numbered with those few individuals whose efforts have already been translat- ed into permanent and wholesome corporate form. In preamble I should warn you that I am the un- ashamed advocate of the platitude. Something can be said for Benjamin Franklin’s maxims, for the morals in Aesop’s fables and for the didactic flourishes in McGuttey’s Readers. In that spirit I shall proceed to elaborate two pedestrian statements: first you are in a particular kind of university, and, second, you are in a special part of America. As members of this academic community, you share in the grand tradition of schoolmen, ranging backwards certainly as far as those gowned scholars who walked the cobblestones of the medieval cities, dividing their time between battling ignorance by day and the townsmen by night. To give superficial evi- dence of your kinship with the medieval scholar, let us peek over the shoulders of a student who is earn- 5 3 E E | estly writing home—this is 500 years ago:—To “his venerable master’ he sends “‘Greeting.”’ ‘Then accord- ing to the letter writing guide, as quoted by Haskins, he scribbles away about as follows: “This is to inform you that I am studying at Oxford with the greatest deligence, but the matter of money stands...in the way of my promotion, as it is now two months since I spent the last of what you sent me. The city is expensive’ —remember this is Ox- ford not Lexington—“and makes many demands; I have to rent lodging, buy necessities, and provide for many other things which I cannot now specify. Where- fore I respectfully beg your paternity that by the promptings of divine pity you may assist me that I may be able to complete what I have well begun. For you must know that without Ceres and Bacchus Apol- lo grows cold.” Advice Instead of Cash Now the medieval fathers, like some parents today, occasionally did a bit of investigating and decided to send advice and complaints instead of cash. One re- proved his son for “preferring license to restraint and play to work and strumming a guitar while the others are at their studies.’”’ He was the lead-off man in an early combo, I judge. But your connections with the larger story of learning are horizontal as well as ver- tical, geographical as well as historical. Several months ago I was fascinated by the cheers and shouts of students at the University of Athens in Greece. They were, it developed, merely putting pressure on the administration to reduce fees, the crops in Crete having failed. But the sound effects exactly duplicated those at a freshman rally preced- ing a big American football game. The lodges of the various nations at Uppsala in Sweden are similar to the fraternity houses here at Washington and Lee. And student caps over Europe, absurd travesties on formal academic regalia, remind us of our own rat caps. And most telling of all, professorial problems and student yawns are worldwide. However, back of it all is the relentless search for truth, the restless desire to find patterns in things and in thought. Thus your experiences here have a dimension in time and in area which give you much in common with the young men in other countries and in other generations. Yours is not an isolated venture, though I think that in nature and in quality it is something quite beyond the ordinary. I shall not attempt to trace by generations your academic parentage. In spirit the line goes back to the old College of New Jersey, and then in more tortuous fashion to the ancient seats of learning in England, thence to the continent. Nor shall I try to 6 pinpoint your birth date as an institution of higher learning. Thank goodness here in America we have that special form of elective system which permits each institution to select its own date of founding. And if this pleasant liberty is not discovered in the Pre- amble of the Declaration of Independence then so much the worse for Jefferson’s reputation. But on one point I shall be dogmatic. There is no argument as to your scholarly integrity, the strictest form of academic legitimacy. You are in direct line of the greatest of all institutional patterns; you are the brilliant example of the independent liberal arts and sciences, the fertile combination which trains the tough mind, the tender heart, the sensitive spirit. You are enjoying the most practical curriculum in the world, one which best prepares for a future known only as a season of change. And unless I have been misinformed, this effervescent, humanistic concept spills over into the professional schools and depart- ments to such a degree that all parts of the univer- sity appreciably share in the emancipating spirit. Your kind of school and mine represent private, non-tax-supported enterprise. For the sake of America, it is essential that this type of university should con- tinue strong in full partnership with our tax-subsi- dized corporations. In the Western world many form- erly independent institutions have gone the easy way. Oxford and Cambridge today may be described as wards of the British government. They appear rela- tively free in their internal operations, this for a variety of reasons, one of them being the fact that these particular universities supply the leading ser- vants of the state and thus in quiet fashion they really control the Ministry. But I would not relish seeing Dr. Cole join the presidents of VPI and William and Mary and the superintendent of VMI in the biennial and bare-headed treks to the Richmond hotels and to Capitol Square petitioning the legislators for funds. The Role Of Incentive Another feature of the institutions of our type is the incentive system. Quite in contrast to some ele- mentary schools in which little Willie is promoted merely because he has another birthday, you students are subjected to the relentless ordeal of measured per- formance and commensurate rewards. Indulge me for a moment while I append a foot- note to the incentive theme. One day, in running through legal records, I stumbled on the following fact certified in the Statutes at Large and in the Opin- ions of The Attorney General. When Oliver Hazard Perry captured the British squadron on Lake Erie, during the war of 1812, and reported in language im- mortal, “We have met the enemy and they are ours,” he was literally correct. They were his. Subsequently THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE ODK President ROSEWELL PAGE Presents New Members at Assembly the United States government bought the vessels from him for $255,000, and this sum was duly divided among men and officers in those days of prize money. Now I do not seriously advocate a pay-as-you-go policy for the Department of Defense. But I do value all evidences of rewards according to performance. In the words of a great New England schoolmaster, “You deserve the fifth freedom, the freedom to be your best.” But I add that you should have the freedom to succeed and you should have that wonderful freedom to fail if you’re not up to the mark. Yes, yours is the marvelous heritage of the liberal arts and sciences in an academic environment strong with the force of centuries back of it. Now, while on the subject of academic inheritance, I pause to pay tribute to the honor system on this campus. I shall not weary you with the depressing re- cital of details elsewhere. In South Europe one astute observer of educational institutions reported to me that the student there feels cheated if he isn’t afford- ed an opportunity to cheat. Skeptical critics in far places, hearing about the honor system in this state, are tempted to call it a surface morality, a code in which it doesn’t matter what we do just so long as we keep a coat and tie on while doing it. In other words, we are accused of a sort of Brooks Brothers morality, or shall we say a worship of the trinity of Hart, Schaffner and Marx. This accusation of superficiality I deny from watching the agonies of self-administered justice in which through pain and anguish honor is kept bright. If here in a variety of collegiate primogeniture you inherit a double portion of the great liberating legacy of the western world, you also share bountifully in a regional pattern, a pattern of significance in any-con- sideration of leadership. And the point is relevant whether you were born in Bangor, Maine, or in Shu- qualak, Mississippi. Now here I call attention to a WINTER 1962 rough-hewn philosopher known as Satchel Paige, the indestructible Negro baseball pitcher. Unfortunate- ly, he is not in any of the anthologies available to me, but as well as I can recall several years ago Satch, and the name comes from the size of his feet, said this, “Avoid fatty foods, they angry up the blood. Jangle gently when you walk, it loosens the juices. Go gently on the vices. Don’t look back, something may be gain- ing on you.” Now gentlemen of Washington and Lee Univer- sity, that something gaining on us may be the past itself. What is that Southern past? There is some- times a nostaglia for yesterday that never was. Often we try to eat our Southern hot biscuits and have them too. A certain conservative congregation in the city of Richmond searched for a minister for months. When I asked why the delay, I was told that the people had established two requirements: the minister must be a Confederate veteran, but he must not be over 30 years of age. Confluence Of Two Streams Bold indeed is the visitor who in this gathering attempts to distill meaning and precept from the history of the South. He is in the company of authori- ties certified by the excellence of their publications, factual and interpretative. But the occasion demands at least an attempt, because you are at the confluence of two streams, the academic and the regional. Each is molding your life. Any historian by the careful selection of facts may prove whatever he wants to prove about the South, old or new. I mean prove to his own satisfaction. I had a chastening experience in the Italian town of Brin- disi last spring. The only newspaper headline I could read was about four inches high beginning ‘“Mont- gomery, Alabama...” And I knew what was coming next. In a bookmobile nearby, there was but one 7 E E E i American volume so far as I could see and this was Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Would I be too partisan to suggest that perhaps the people in this little village, which marked the end of the Appian Way, were receiving something less than a true picture of the South? I readily and regretfully grant Southern defic- iencies past and present. ‘There is indeed a vast calen- dar of errors to be remedied, sins for which we must atone. I underscore the fact that we must not censor our shortcomings. Indeed, there must be a free ex- change of thoughts and of information, bad as the information may be. Certainly we cannot add to the Iron Curtain and to the Bamboo Curtain a curtain of white columns through which ideas may _ neither come nor go. A Planter As A Leader But if muckraking becomes too much the fashion we may fail to nurture those elements in the regional tradition which are inspiring and relevant today, forces which openly and subtly play on this very in- stitution. Without at all succumbing to the Cavalier myth, we may conclude that at its best the planta- tion system generated a supreme sense of responsi- ble leadership. In his hospitality, gaming, horse rac- ing and dancing, the colonial planter appeared to concentrate on the pleasures of this world. He had in him enough of the frontiersman to be incurably optimistic and enough of the English landed gentry to insist on a high standard of living—a combination, | might add, which led him into perennial debt. Yet with all these external evidences of frivolity and love of pleasure, no quality of the planters was more marked than the serious acceptance of public responsibility. They were managing large enterprises, they must account for the health and labor of many servants. Looking to Europe for markets and for sup- plies, they cultivated a breadth of view which over- came provincialism otherwise inherent in rural life. Power they had, to be sure, but power controlled by a stewardship to the conscience of a gentleman, and a gentleman owed the best of his talents to the state. A generation trained in the responsible natural leadership of the plantation area served the nation with conspicuous success during the Revolutionary and early national period. In social relations, this ideal was illustrated in the concept of noblesse oblige which softened all phases of life. And now I shall soon exhaust my quota of cita- tions for the two generals, hitherto nameless, after whom this university is titled. Both Washington and Lee applied their talents to plantation management for extended periods of time. And these experiences were not without influence on their personalities. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE This area is not only Southern but Virginia, not only Virginian but it is in a special quarter of Vir- ginia, a quarter which in the past possessed a mood and convictions which set it apart from other sections of the state. Today the deadly same soft drink and cigarette advertising may create a monotonous uni- formity over the entire countryside of America, but it was not always so. Yes, something good, very good, came from Rockbridge. Let us listen to two men from this county speaking in the Virginia House of Dele- gates in 18329. The critical subject under debate was none other than the institution of slavery. Samuel McDowell Moore said—and this is no abolitionist— Samuel McDowell Moore said “Slavery is at best but an intolerable evil and can never be submitted to except from stern necessity.... Liberty is too dear to the heart of man ever to be given up for any earth- ly consideration.” And then his colleague, James Mc- Dowell, Jr., in a transcendentalist flourish protested that despite any treatment accorded the slave—‘‘the idea that he was born to be free—will survive it all. It is allied to his hope of immortality—it is the ether- eal part of his nature which oppression cannot reach; it is a torch lit up in his soul by the hand of the Deity and never meant to be extinguished by the hand of man.” But Virginia temporized and faltered and turned. No one oan be certain but I venture to suggest that if Virginia had followed the lead of Rockbridge County in 1832 there may not have been a Civil War. Parenthetically, I remind you that a president of this institution, Dr. Henry Ruffner, 15 years after this debate, presented before the local Franklin Society a vigorous anti-slavery address which subsequently was published. That Magnificent and Flexible Period If you will search for it, then, there is here in this Valley a decision of bold and thoughtful leadership on which you may well pattern yourselves. Yours is that magnificent and flexible period in life when all things are possible. ‘Today one occasionally hears from way out in right field cries for a man on horseback. Perhaps the shallow person who by report recently requested Mr. Kennedy to get off Caroline's tricycle and mount a horse was merely trying to play with words. But when somebody talks to me about a man on horseback the first question I want answered is “What is the name of the horse?” If it happens to be the name of a famous animal who occupied a stable a few hun- dred yards from here, maybe I'll go back for a second look. Otherwise, frankly I choose Kennedy’s tricycle over Khrushchev’s troika. Of course, we want no dic- tator, military or otherwise. Now the kind of leadership which is our ideal dis- plays a central, self-denying element. There are other WINTER 1962 features certainly, such as the difficult talent of suf- fering fools gladly. But especially we need the art of noble accommodation, the gift for reconciling the ex- tremes. Believe me, one does not automatically acquire Lee’s stature merely by taking a second journey to Appomatox. I suggest that the hard, practical spirit of accommodation such as was displayed in the Consti- tutional Convention and in the first half of the 19th century shows that the techniques of compromise in matters of procedure is neither immoral nor un- patriotic. Let this spirit of patience and tolerance invite ideas old and new. It is sad to see a man without ideas. It is catastrophic to see ideas without men, ideas hovering, seeking incarnation. In God’s economy men may be replaceable but there are some ideas which are irreplaceable. And one of these is found in Holy Writ where it says that “If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all and servant of all.” This is leadership. On June 10 of this year Dr. Charles Malik, former president of the General Assembly of the United States, brilliantly reviewed the matters of hope and promise before the world. And reciting the freedom of men and the freedom of God took exception to those well-meaning gentlemen who believe that they have discovered the laws of society in the rhythm of growth and decay. This is in fact a season of hope. People are expectant, they cry for leadership. I quote Dr. Malik: “If Western civilization goes down, it will be only because its leadership has failed to show it the way. There is no impersonal law of growth and decay here at work whatsoever. There is the very per- sonal moral failure of the leaders to show the way. And a real way out most certainly there is. The actual ready potentialities of this civilization in every sphere are so tremendous, so overpowering, that with the proper coordination and the right voice of leadership it can rise to any challenge. The greatest danger today is that either this leadership is not forthcoming or that its voice will come too late.” (End of that signi- ficant quotation). Leadership Is Forthcoming But gentlemen, as I look about me today I am con- vinced that leadership is forthcoming. We do have hope. Hope is just as certain as are the excellencies at this university where the best of the old and the best of the new are in powerful combination, where the glories of the great academic traditions and the great regional traditions encourage leadership, leadership resilient in technique, noble in purpose, self-denying in spirit. It is the special virtue of this fraternity which we celebrate today, a fraternity founded on these very acres, that it urges the sort of leadership without which we cannot long endure.

Centre, Sewanee, and Southwestern University Joins Three Other Colleges To Form College Athletic Conference At left, Centre students leaving “Olde Centre’; at right, Washington and Lee’s Colonnade in a morning sun. 10 THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE HE FORMATION of a new athlet- te conference among Centre College of Kentucky, Southwestern at Memphis, the University of the South, and Washington and Lee University was announced in Jan- uary by President Fred C. Cole. Simultaneous announcements were made on other member schools’ campuses in Danville, Kentucky, Memphis, Tennessee, and Sewanee, ‘Tennessee. President Cole said the new or- ganization will be known as the College Athletic Conference and will become operational in 1962-63. The conference will sponsor in- tercollegiate competition in foot- ball, basketball, golf, tennis, track and field, and_ baseball. Other sports may be added later, Presi- dent Cole said. Under the conference’s Articles of Organization, a “cardinal prin- ciple” of the league is “that all participation in sports by members of its teams shall be solely because of interest in and the enjoyment of the game. “No financial aid shall be given to any student which is conditioned upon, or for the purpose of en- couraging, his participation in in- tercollegiate sports,” the articles state. “All financial aids of the member institutions shall be ad- ministered by a single agency of the faculty. No aid funds shall be specifically reserved for athletes, and the directors of athletics and coaches shall have no voice or par- ticipation in the determination of recipients or amounts of financial aid to any student. Criteria for ad- mission to the individual member institutions shall be the same for all students.”’ ‘The conference will be governed by a Board of Directors composed of the presidents of the member institutions. ‘The chairmanship will be rotated among the directors at their discretion. Vice Chancellor and President Edward McCrady of the University of the South will be WINTER 1962 the Board’s first chairman. Other members are President Thomas A. Spragens of Centre, President Pey- ton N. Rhodes of Southwestern, and President Cole. Additional members may be ad- mitted to the conference upon unanimous approval of the Board of Directors. While the four founding mem- bers are all Southern institutions, President Cole said it was not the intention of the Board to limit the conference geographically. He said other colleges and universities in the East and Midwest could be- come members. An administrative council com- posed of representatives of each school will handle scheduling and other routine annual business. The council is authorized to conduct an annual basketball tournament and annual meets in the spring sports. Other sports can be added to the conference program at the council’s discretion, and the coun- cil will decide how champions in each sport will be determined. The Articles of Organization state: “It shall be the general purpose of the Conference to foster com- petition in as many sports as may be successfully provided by the members within the limits of budg- et capabilities. A major objective shall be the encouragement of widespread participation in health- ful sports by members of their vari- ous student bodies.” The articles provide no confer- ence rules on eligibility as such. They state, “It is assumed that all member institutions will permit participation on their athletic teams only to regular, full-time students in good standing as de- fined by the regulations of their respective faculties.” “Each member institution has full respect for the integrity of the other members, for the selective na- ture of their admission standards, and for their existing standards of academic qualification,” the arti- cles declare. All members of the new confer- ence have had previous conference afhliations. Centre was a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference until 1945, and from 1946 to 1959, the college participated in the Kentucky In- tercollegiate Athletic Conference in basketball only. Southwestern al- so once belonged to the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Confer- ence, and for five years was a mem- ber of the Dixie Conference, with- drawing in 1940. The University of the South, known better in athletic circles as Sewanee, was a charter member of the Southeastern Conference until 1939. Washington and Lee was a charter member of the Southern Conference and ended its afhliation with that group in 1958.

Theme of the “Week” was the United Nations and its role in World Peace. The annual event is an effort on the part of the univer- sity to draw student attention to problems in international affairs. It is under the sponsorship of the School of Commerce and Admin- istration and the student Interna- tional Relations Club. Activities were directed by John M. Gunn, assistant professor of economics and political science. In addition to Senator Gore, stu- dents heard Mahomed Khader Na- waz, a professor from India cur- rently serving on the faculty of the School of Foreign Affairs at the University of Virginia. Speaking in Lee Chapel, Senator Gore said that ““The UN and the United States standing together can bring effective self-government to the Congo, as well as hold off any foreign threat.” Gore called the Congo “the only major diplomatic victory we've won in ten years.” The senator said that Communist leadership in the Congo is exaggerated. Afri- cans as a rule, he said, do not have sufhcient sophistication for ideo- logical devotion to Communism. Speaking on “The United Na- tions at Crossroads,’ Professor Na- waz said that the United States has the “major responsibility for shar- ing the fate” of the UN. The sac- 12 rifices which must be made “‘for the cause of the UN” are not big in terms of money, he said. Americans must not feel that they are paying too much, he added. He called the UN bond issue “a compliment to your charitable dispositions.” w AN ENGLISH CRITIC of American literature and a professor from the Protestant Episcopal ‘Theological Seminary in Alexandria were pre- sented in the goth and 41st Semin- ars in Literature. Montgomery Belgion, secretary of the Westwood House School ‘Trust since 1950, a former journal- ist, and author of 11 books, spoke on “The Aesthetic Delusion.” Dr. Albert T. Mollegen, who teaches New ‘Testament language and literature at the seminary in Alexandria, spoke on “Albert Cam- us: Facing Death and The Ab- surd.” Two strands, said Dr. Molle- gen, both containing the problems of the 1gth Century, have resulted in existentialism and Communism. Dr. FITZGERALD FLOURNOY with Dr. Loutis WRIGHT SENATOR GORE He said existentialism is the hero- ic evidence of the sickness of west- ern civilization, as is shown by the beatniks and angry young men. He continued that communism too, it appears, will have to go through the sickness since it contains, as does existentialism, all problems ar- ticulated in the arts, literature, and behavior of men. He pointed out that beatniks are evident today in Moscow. m DR. LOUIS B.

Ferenc Nagy, current chairman- president of the Assembly of Cap- tive European Nations, continued: “I just want to advise Western gov- ernments to exercise a strong pol- icy. The question is whether people will live under Communism in the future or under democracy.

Lee’s letters to President Jefferson Davis, valued at $4,500, have been added to Washington and Lee Univer- sity’s collection of more than 5,000 Lee letters. The letters, bound in a red morocco leather case, are dated August 22, 1863, and February 9, 1865, and were willed to the uni- versity by the late Alfred W. Stern, a Chicago clothing executive. The correspondence presents an interesting contrast in the career of the famous Confederate general who later became president of Washington College. The August letter—written at Lee’s headquar- ters at Orange County Court- house—indicates that General Lee regrets that President Davis will not consider Lee’s request to be re- lieved of his post and permit him to serve “In any capacity at any post where I can do good.” General Lee, discouraged after Gettysburg, thought that “the low- er the position, the more suitable” to his ability and the more “‘agree- able’ to his feelings. WINTER 1962 The 1865 letter, composed at Lee’s Petersburg headquarters, 1s General Lee’s acceptance of the post of General-in-Chief (com- manding general) for the Confed- erate Army.

They included $4,000 from E. I. duPont de Nemours and Company for the study of science and en- gineering. The grant was awarded, as in past years, on the strength of the University’s chemistry depart- ment. Gifts of $1,500 each were received from ‘Texaco, Inc. and from the Shell Oil Company. The Texaco gift was unrestricted. The Shell gift included $500 of unrestricted 13 Dr. BEAN, left, and Dr. CRENSHAW funds, $500 for general faculty de- velopment, and $500 for profession- al development of individual fac- ulty members in engineering, mathematics and the physical sci- ences.

Bean as head of Washington and Lee Uni- versity’s history department when Dr. Bean retires from that position in June, Dean of the College Wil- liam W. Pusey III announced to the faculty in February. Dr. Bean, 70, has served as head of the department since 1930. A member of the history depart- ment faculty since 1926, Dr. Cren- shaw became a full professor in 1947. He has taught at summer sessions at the College of William and Mary, the University of Wis- consin, Johns Hopkins University and West Virginia University. Dr. Crenshaw, who is 57, received his bachelor and master of arts degrees from Washington and Lee in 1925 and 1926, respectively. He was awarded his Ph.D. degree from 14 Johns Hopkins University in 1945. Dr. Bean first came to Washing- ton and Lee in 1922 as an assistant professor. He was made a full pro- fessor and head of the department in 1930. He received his bachelor of arts degree from the University of Alabama in 1913, his M.A. from Harvard University in 1916 and his Ph.D. there in 1922. UNIVERSITY FUNDS totaling $5,205 have been granted to 14 Washing- ton and Lee University professors for support of research and study projects during 1962. ‘The awards are supported by the John M. Glenn Fund and are part of a Washington and Lee program designed to promote continuing scholarship among faculty members and increasing teaching effective- ness in classrooms and laboratories. Most faculty recipients will con- duct their research during this sum- mer’s vacation, but they have until December 1 to complete their pro- jects. Stipends range from $46 to $goo.

Total library seating capacity has been brought to 300, according to Librarian Henry E. Coleman, Jr. The new room is located at the front of the library, directly over the main lobby and desk. The room is furnished with cus- tom-built furniture designed by alumnus Donald R. Steenburgh, ’51, of Richmond. Rare books and papers from the university's ar- chives are housed there. Locked cages have been installed for this material. The room was added to the li- brary building in 1941, and has served a multitude of purposes since that date. The Bicentennial Committee used it as offices in 1949 and special lecturers have appeared there. The room was once rigged for closed-circuit television for the overflow crowds during the 1958 spring lectures of Dr. Arnold ‘Toyn- bee. From 1951 to 1955 a loan ex- hibition from the Metropolitan Museum of Art was displayed in the room. Students put Library’s new room to good use. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Trust Will Aid Colleges N UNUSUAL demonstration of A interest by a Richmond busi- nessman-physician and a Washing- ton and Lee alumnus in advancing the quality of Virginia’s indepen- dent colleges will benefit his Alma Mater on a continuing annual ba- SiS. Under the terms of a trust agree- ment devised in 1959, Washington and Lee University is one of a doz- en beneficiaries of the A. A. Houser Trust, established by Dr. Aubrey A. Houser, ‘og, president of Wm. P. Poythress & Company, Inc., Richmond pharmaceutical manu- facturers. From time to time Dr. Houser will convey to the Trust capital stock of the Poythress company, of which he is majority stockholder. Income in the form of dividends on shares held by the Trust will be paid to the Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges and di- vided among 12 benefiting colleges annually on the basis of a distrib- ution formula agreed upon by the participating institutions, includ- ing Washington and Lee. The Trust is established in per- petuity. According to the trust agreement, upon Dr. Houser’s de- mise all of his remaining holdings in the Poythress company will be WINTER 1962 Alumnus Aubrey A. Houser, ’09, Establishes Fund ‘To Boost Quality Of State Independent Colleges transferred to the Trust. Mean- while, with each conveyance of his company’s stock to the principal of the Trust, Washington and Lee’s share will increase. Dr. Houser has expressed his intention of enlarg- ing the principal holdings of the Trust by the addition of securities each year. Income from the Houser ‘Trust, like other contributions to the Vir- ginia Foundation, are used by the colleges for current instructional programs rather than for capital purposes. Most Virginia Founda- tion funds are applied to faculty salary improvements. Dr. Houser, who practiced medi- cine in Richmond for many years and once taught at the Medical College of Virginia, is an alumnus of two of the benefiting institu- tions, Bridgewater College and Washington and Lee University. In addition to income to the Vir- ginia Foundation from the Houser Trust, the Poythress firm is a gen- erous annual supporter to the joint college fund. President George M. Modlin of the University of Richmond, a trustee of the Houser Trust, has described it as “‘a very generous and unusual action on the part of this education - minded ~— gentleman whose keen understanding of the value of independent colleges is clearly manifest in the establish- ment of this “Trust.” The trust agreement provides that in the event the Virginia Foundation is ever dissolved or de- viates from its purpose as defined in its charter, the income, and eventually the assets, will go to Washington and Lee. Dr. Houser, a native of Natural Bridge Station, Virginia, was born — in 1881. He attended Washington and Lee from 1905 to 1907 and went on to receive his M.D. degree from the Medical College of Vir- ginia in 1916. After thirty years in the medical profession, he retired in 1946 but continued as president of the Poy- thress Company and as president and manager of Alpine Farms at Natural Bridge Station. He has been a regular and gen- erous giver to the Alumni Fund and the Development Fund _ at Washington and Lee. Dr. Aubrey A. Houser, Jr., is a 1941 graduate of Washington and Lee and followed in his father’s footsteps in graduating from the Medical College of Virginia in 1951. 17 The Alumni Fund Participation T THIS MOMENT less than 10 Ave: cent of Washington and Lee alumni have responded to the Alumni Fund. The — scoreboard shows 1,021 contributors out of 10,383 solicited who have given a total of $44,288.00. As chairman of the Alumni Fund Council, please permit me some liberty to speak quite frankly and openly with you for a few minutes about the annual giving fund. Be- cause it reaches into your pocket, and into mine, it is a rather per- sonal matter and it certainly is a matter of grave importance to us all. I feel certain that, when you know these facts, you will join in a concerted action today. A lot of “beating the drums” has been done by colleges about this problem of percentage of par- ticipation in alumni — support. Whether we like this constant harping on a single subject or not, the point is that participation is the basic fact! It is the fundamental key to the whole program. We can- not simply close our eyes and ears to increasing insistence from the large philanthropic foundations that their assistance will be direct- ly proportional to the amount of self-support a college displays. Some won’t even consider a col- lege with less than 50 per cent alumni support in annual giving. Moreover, it is contrary to our “sporting blood” or sense of fair play to sit back and see so few shoulder the whole responsibility for all of us. Let’s examine the record to de- termine just where we do stand. 18 By MATT PAXTON, JR. Chairman, Alumni Fund Council How good or bad are we? Some will argue that those schools with high percentage, somehow manipu- late their overall numbers or their definition of an alumnus so as to make themselves look good. I dis- count this theory sharply. Accord- ing to the best available informa- tion, most colleges use the same method of identifying an alumnus and most colleges solicit their full numbers—non-graduates as well as graduates. Now look at Table I. Here we see —Key Item for Alumni Fund the record of our participation in the five year period prior to the University Development Program. In the last year, 1957-58, it reached 35.3 per cent with 3,378 alumni responding that year. Table II in- dicates where this places us in re- spect to other institutions of our class. Washington and Lee has never been content to operate at just the average level. If we are to justify our existence as a small private university, we must produce somc- TABLE I S YEAR PARTICIPATION PERCENT 60 SO 40 30 20 NUMBER SOLICITED 10509 10619 1953-54 1954-55 10909 9076 9578 1955-56 1956-57 1957-58 THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE See TABLE II * All figures for year 1959-60 year—except W&L which is 1957-58 Effectiveness Average Gift No. Alumni of to Institution Solicited Solicition Fund Princeton 28,099 71.9% $ 63.12 Dartmouth 26,580 64.9 71.34 Amherst 10,190 62.5 44.86 Williams 9,821 57.0 44.48 Yale 70,795 46.1 69.15 Duke 28,703 39.6 23.57 *Washington and Lee 9,578 35.3 33.65 Vanderbilt 21,500 34.4 28.50 ‘Tulane 30,599 31.5 33-97 Davidson 7,023 31.3 41.977 thing better than the average, and this means better than average al- umni interest and support, as well as graduates whose educations are better than average. Why do you suppose some alumni (about 65 per cent, in fact) fail to respond to their class agent or regional agent? All of us have more appeals from worthy causes than we care to count; but we all know the bene- fits of having attended Washington and Lee. Given an important rea- son, all of us can juggle our in- come to make a little go here and a little go there. Really, all of us are in the same boat—yet some do support the Fund and others don't. Are you a “doer’’? Perhaps some feel ashamed to respond in a small way—yet this 1s just the point. Washington and Lee needs you to help support her in proportion to your ability, but, be- yond this, she needs you first of all to stand up and be counted! This in itself is of significant importance and help. A case in point is our annual fund this very year. Just look back now at our pres- ent situation. Only 1,021 contribu- tors have responded, and we've reached about 40 per cent of our former dollar record. Imagine what could be accomplished if everyone would participate! The fund year will terminate May 31st although pledges may be paid through the calendar year. That gives us three big months to go. Let me urge each of us to exam- ine our participation in the light of what it means to us individual- ly and to Washington and Lee to have all of us share in this respon- sibility. Taking some liberties with a familiar slogan, I might add, “If you care enough to send the best— send money!” And send it now. Don’t be late— participate. Anonymous Donor Presents Portrait = THE PORTRAIT of University Treasurer Earl S. Mattingly, shown at right, was presented to Wash- ington and Lee by an anonymous alumnus. Professor Rupert N. Latture, act- ing for the donor, presented the oil painting to President Fred C. Cole in a small ceremony held in the President’s Office and attended by Mr. Mattingly and members of the Washington Hall staff. The artist, Mrs. H. Donahoe of St. Petersburg, Florida, painted the portrait from photographs of Mr. Mattingly, who first came to the University as a student in 1916. WINTER 1962 19 To: From: Your Alumni Association Classes of IQOI2, IQ22, IQ37, IQ52 Subject: Anniversary Reunions OU OF THE ABOVE anniversary +. will be vitally interest- ed in the plans which are being developed for your reunion on May 4-6. A preliminary outline has just been mailed to you. Please com- plete the return card stating wheth- er you plan to attend. As soon as these cards are returned a list will be prepared and a copy sent to each member. Thus you can, by corres- ponding with one another, get to- gether with a special group of your friends to make the trek to Lex- ington. Therefore, please return that “statement of intent’ card right away. Keep in mind that local hotels and motels have been block re- served. Reservations must be made through the Alumni Office. Re- quest for reservation cards will be mailed out about April 7 and the deadline on reservations is April 25th. There will be no guarantee after this date. As in the past, the various Classes will be lodged, as classes, in different hotels. You will want to be with your classmates. Unless you make some special re- quest you will automatically be 20 May 4-6 lodged with your class. The head- quarters for the classes are as fol- lows: The 50th anniversary class 1912— Mayflower Inn. ‘The 4oth anniversary class 1922— Mayflower Inn. The 25th anniversary class 1937— R. E. Lee Hotel. The 10th anniversary class 1952— Lexington Motel. The accommodations in these three places are excellent. The R. FE. Lee Hotel has just undergone some major remodeling and is un- der new management. The May- flower offers the facilities of a hotel with the convenience of a motel; the Lexington Motel, though far- thest from the University, is new and modern. The program will be complete but not so full as to prohibit your visiting local points, looking in on the fraternity, and just plain wand- ering. We want you to enjoy your- self and not be bound to a “stop watch” program. Upon getting into Lexington, check in first at your hotel. Here you will pick up a com- plete program and _ instructions. Then come to the Student Union Building (that’s the one across the street from the Episcopal Church) where you will be registered. You will want to arrive in plenty of time on Friday, May 4, to attend the reception at 4:30 p.m. at the home of President and Mrs. Cole. You are on your own for supper that night. We hope you'll get with all your classmates and come to hear the first of the John Randolph Tucker Lectures later at 8 o’clock. This is the first time the Anniver- sary Reunions have coincided with the Tucker Lectures, and many law alumni will be on hand from non- reunion years. Saturday will be a full day cul- minating in the individual class banquets and the following “‘so- cial.”” Remember the ladies are es- pecially invited to attend all of the events. Dress will be informal. If you are interested there will be time for a little golf so bring along your sticks. Watch closely now for all the mailings and take prompt action. In this way we can disseminate the information quickly and _ easily. The entire University family is looking forward to the reunions. We hope you are planning to be with us.

WINTER 1962 NOTICE TO ALL LAW ALUMNI The Tucker Lectures and Law Day Weekend are on May 4 and 5, 1962, at the same time as the Anniversary Class Reunions. Makes plans to come. CLasSsS NOTES 1892 Miss Julia Davis, daughter of the late Joun W. Davis, has written a book of family memoirs entitled “Legacy of Love,” (Harcourt, Brace & World). ‘The work is a reminiscent account of both sides of her family for three generations, well documented with old diaries and letters. The result is a remarkably true-to-life portrait of her father, one of the ablest Americans of his time. John W. Davis’ political career includ- ed a term in Congress, Solicitor General, Ambassador to Great Britain, and Demo- cratic nominee for President. He was de- feated by Calvin Coolidge in the 1924 election. He was a trustee of Mutual Life of New York for nearly 30 years. As a corporation counsel and consti- tutional lawyer he had few equals. His clients ranged from J. P. Morgan to Rob- ert Oppenheimer. He argued more cases before the Supreme Court than any at- torney before him, but he refused two offers to serve on the Supreme Court. Mr Davis died March 24, 1955. 1894 Dr. JAmes B. Butuitr has been retired for fifteen years after a fifty-year teaching career and is living in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Dr. Bullitt has taught at the University of Louisville, the University of Virginia, the University of Mississippi, and the University of North Carolina. 1902 Dr. W. T. Exvxis of Philadelphia, Pennsyl- vania, received the 1961 University of Pennsylvania award of “Distinguished Senior Alumnus.” 1905 Ext M. MILLEN, who was valedictorian of his class, now spends his winters in St. Petersburg, Florida. Mr. Millen, an oc- togenarian, reports that the printer’s ink in his blood is still so thick that ‘‘con- stant up-dating of nostalgia has been a compensating factor in mental and phys- ical activity.” His interest in politics, edu- cation, and the economics of the United States and the world has never ceased to offer a challenge to his wisdom and un- derstanding. Mr. Millen’s journalistic career began with cub reporting on the Memphis Commercial Appeal. Editorial work on the Cincinnati Commercial Tr- bune, the Cincinnati Enquirer, and the New York Times was followed by the Associate Editorship of the Ladies Home Occupational File Progress m AS THIS ISSUE of the Alumni Mag- azine goes to press, there have been 6,009 Occupational questionnaires returned in response to the appeal to alumni to provide the Univer- sity with vital information on their activities This figure is less than 60 per cent of the total number of ques- tionnaires (10,996) mailed to form- er students, including 130 alumni in foreign countries. For the in- formation contained in the respon- ses to be valid statistically in any analysis of alumni occupations, ex- perts say that the return must be better than 80 per cent. We're shooting for 100 per cent. Return forms are still coming in, and virtually all have been com- pleted in admirable detail. It you are among the several thousand who have not responded, please do so immediately. If you’ve misplaced the form, we’ll be happy to send you another one. Just let us know. 21 Journal and then the Managing Editor- ship of McCall’s. 1906 After fifty-six years of practicing law, H. CLAUDE PoBsT now has in his office more actively contested and important cases than he has ever had. At seventy-seven years of age, in 1960, Mr. Pobst took a trip around the world and _ this past summer took a 6800 mile trip through the West. He has been on every contin- ent except Australia and writes, “I shall continue to go...I work from seven to eight hours every day, and never had an ache or pain. I take perhaps four or five aspirin tablets a year, and perhaps three or four blood pressure pills a year, and go when and where I wish with- out trouble.” 1908 Hiram M. Dow, Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army for New Mexico, attended the annual conference of Civil- ian Aides held by Secretary of the Army Elvis J. Stahr, Jr., at Fort Monroe, Vir- ginia, in December. Mr. Dow, an attor- ney in Roswell, New Mexico, has been a Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army since 1937. The Aides are appoint- ed for two-year terms to represent the Army in interpreting Army policies and doctrines for the civilian communities in their area. At the conference in Decem- ber, the Civilian Aides, representing ev- ery state, were brought up-to-date on recent developments within the Army and plans for the future. 1910 The Arkansas Bar Association honored Jupcre Harry J. LEMLey recently with a plaque presented to him as a tribute in recognition of his extraordinary contri- bution to the Bench and Bar. Appointed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1939 as Federal Judge, Judge Lemley re- tired in 1958 after sitting on every fed- eral district bench in Arkansas. The most famous of his decisions, perhaps, dealt with the school integration ques- tion in Little Rock. In part, the plaque reads: “Judge Harry J. Lemley has re- tired from active service, but his opin- ions still live in the law... the Arkan- sas Bar Association conveys apprecia- tion...for services devotedly rendered, for the exercise of sound judicial tem- perament, and for having widely found and applied the law.” 1911 JupcE W. KENDALL LEMLEY, Municipal Judge of Hope, Arkansas, retired from the bench on March ist after almost thirty years of service. Judge Lemley was on the bench for seven full four-year terms and was opposed for office only once. Judge Lemley expects to continue a limited law practice at his home. He is a brother of Federal Judge Harry J. LEMLEY, °10, who was honored by the 232 Arkansas Bar recently for his extra- ordinary services. A retired Army Colonel, ALEXANDER C. KNIGHT writes from Alexandria, Virginia, that he has passed his 76th birthday and going strong. He regrets having missed his 50th reunion this past spring. 1912 After serving as a country pastor of Pres- byterian Churches for forty-four years, W. GRAHAM Woop retired in 1961 and is residing in Chester, Virginia. 1914 Thirty years of government service brings well-deserved retirement to DAvID BRock- MAN WINFREY Of Martinsburg, West Vir- ginia. Mr. Winfrey spent twenty-four of these years with the Department of Jus- tice in Washington, D.C. 1915 JupGE MILLARD FILLMORE Hays has spent thirty-three years as superintendent and principal of high schools in the state of Kentucky. For the past eleven years he has been in insurance and real estate business in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. Mr. Hays has three children, one of whom, a son, is engaged in business with him. A portrait of the late Curer Justice Tay- LOR H. Srukes of the Supreme Court of South Carolina was unveiled at memorial ceremonies in Columbia, South Carolina, in November. The painting by Arthur Murray, noted portraitist of New York, hangs in the Supreme Court room at the State House. Before a large crowd gath- ered to pay tribute, Justice G. Dewey Oxner eulogized Judge Stukes as a man who believed primarily in impartial de- cision, who harmonized conflicting views with an open mind, and who dealt justice with great intellectual honesty and with all the dignity of the legal profession. 1916 THE HON. CLARENCE J. BROWN is now in his twenty-fourth year as a Member of Congress, but he is also engaged in run- ning newspapers in Ohio, his home state. GRADY Forcy writes that his fourteen grandchildren keep him “‘spry as ever.” ‘There are ten grandsons, and five of them are Forgys who expect to be on the Wash- ington and Lee campus around 1970-77.

He has inherited the Flowers family’s in- clination to lead in civic life, and in Montgomery, since 1914 when Mr. Flowers returned from his four years at Washington and Lee, he has filled prominent positions in the city’s life. Mr. Flowers has continuously car- ried on the tradition that the fam- ily should invest, without thought of remuneration, in lives of young people having no means to ad- vance themselves educationally. As director of the Alabama Na- tional Bank, Mr. Flowers was on the County Board of Education for 21 years before retiring in 1956, and presently he serves as ‘Trustee of the First Methodist Church and of Huntingdon College. A new ele- mentary school, equipped with the finest modern facilities, was erected in 1960 in Montgomery County and was named the Flowers Ele- mentary School in tribute to the Flowers family. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Robert F. m@ ATTORNEY-GENERAL Kennedy presented William O. Burtner, ’17, a service pin and gold key chain upon his retirement on last January 6 as a Justice Depart- ment attorney and from his duties as the busiest and most prolific “ghost-writer’ in the Federal gov- ernment. The presentation was made at a luncheon in his honor attended by 100 Justice Department officials. The Attorney-General also read a letter to Mr. Burtner from ‘“‘anoth- er public servant” at the White House, a letter in which President Kennedy praised him for his “fidel- ity and skill” as an attorney adviser in Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel for the past 38 years and expressed warm thanks for himself and his presidential predecessors in office. In 28 of his 38 years with the Jus- tice Department, Mr. Burtner as a “rewrite man” for Presidential pap- ers, has written an estimated 4,700 executive orders and 1,400 procla- mations over the signatures of Pres- idents Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, Roosevelt, ‘Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennedy. His literary efforts ranged from such prosaic docu- ments as the declaration of a legal holiday to weightier ones such as Truman’s seizure of the steel com- panies and Eisenhower’s dispatch of Federal troops to Little Rock. Before going with the Justice Department, Mr. Burtner taught English at Washington and Lee. He now hopes to spend much of his time in travel and in reading. serves, 1951; retired from Reconstruction Finance Corporation, 1953; retired from Lincoln Bank & Trust Company of Louis- ville, 1961.
