Proud parents and_ other relatives were there by the hun- dreds, some sedately in their seats on the green lawn before the Presi- dent’s home, others moving about in small stampedes, competing for an unobstructed camera view or a better glimpse of the young men who, for most parents, represented a four-year investment of about $10,000. The seniors, warmly uncomfor- table in their black gowns and not quite sure which way their tassels hung, ambled self-consciously along the walk from Washington Hall to the Commencement platform near the Lee-Jackson house. When they had formed the long double col- umn on either side of the sidewalk, the faculty ambled by between them. The University Marshal, bur- dened with mace, and the Presi- dent, and dignitaries and deans all marched purposefully enough, but the professors, for the most part, merely ambled. Somehow, the pro- cession kept its pace, although ev- eryone gave the impression he was waiting for his distinguished col- 9 a league in front to get a move on. This was the scene on June 8 this year, just as it has been the scene for many other Lexington Fridays early in June. There were 227 bachelor degrees to be confer- red, four honorary degrees to be awarded to the accompaniment of appropriate praise, two speeches to be heard, and a hymn and the Alma Mater to be sung. The pro- gram was virtually unchanged from last year, or the year before, and in about an hour and a half, some professor would be quoting Dr. Gaines quoting a New Yorker grad- uation cartoon: “Well, that put’s a cork in another bottle!” Pretty soon it was time for the valedictory by senior Joseph Leo- nard Goldstein. After quoting Browning’s “Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp,’’ Gold- stein reached out to tell his audi- ence about Washington and Lee. He allowed as how there were many good things about Washing- ton and Lee, but he said there were some bad things, too, and he’d like to see these taken care of. About the worst, he said, are the regula- tions imposed on students by the faculty and administration. He didn’t say which regulations. May- be he meant the ones which tend to emphasize proper social conduct, proper regard for the property rights and personal sensibilities of the Lexington populace, and, in general, things that might limit a student’s pursuit of his idea of a well-rounded _ personality. Mr. Goldstein recalled General Lee’s remark that “We have but one rule here, and it is that every student must be a gentleman.” It looked for a brief moment that per- haps the valedictorian was going to suggest that if today’s students were more gentlemanly in some of their behavior, maybe the Univer- sity could get back to the one rule business. But he just said the reg- ulations and rules were bad, and totally unneeded at Washington and Lee, for after all, the valedic- torian concluded: “This isn’t Sweet Briar, and it isn’t Hollins, and it isn’t Phillips Exeter Academy!” Goldstein’s classmates cheered and clapped, and some _ parents THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE looked a little uneasy about their $10,000. But then everyone got up and sang “O God, Our Help in Ages Past,” and the faculty seemed to join in more loudly than usual. Then things settled down again, and the seniors came forward to get their diplomas. President Cole had no more than the usual presi- dential difficulty with the hereto- fore unencountered middle names, and the graduates were amazingly quick to catch on to reaching for the diploma with the left hand and shaking hands with the right, right over left. Occasionally someone would try left over right, and the microphone would be momentar- ily in danger. There were twenty-nine seniors receiving LL.B. degrees, twenty- three who received B.S. degrees, thirty-three who got B.S. degrees with special attainments in Com- merce, and four who earned B.S. degrees with special attainments in Chemistry. There were 138 who re- ceived B.A. degrees. As graduation classes go, it was a big one, 25 more than last year. The conferring of honorary Doctor of Law degrees was carried out under proper circumstances without hitch. Two of the recipi- ents were military men—Maj. Gen. George R. E. Shell, superintendent of neighboring Virginia Military Institute, and alumnus Rear Adm. Robert D. Powers, Jr., ’29, assistant judge advocate general of the U.S. Navy—and they received their hoods on their arms. Because of ill- ness, alumnus Robert C. Smith, ’26, Chicago industrial executive, could not receive his degree in person, and it was accepted for him by his brother, Wilbur Smith, of Coving- ton, Va. He took the hood on his arm, too, so only William S. Mil- burn, former principal of Louis- ville Male High School, risked the hooding ceremony. But Mr. Mil- burn’s hood settled smoothly on his shoulders and his breathing re- mained unimpaired. SUMMER 1962 3 Commissions Awarded To Army Reserve commissions were awarded to forty-seven Washington and Lee seniors on June 8, which means the scenes below were repeated approximately forty-seven times. PP y y The traditional dollar for that first salute changes hands. Soldiers suffer many hardships. 47 ROTC Cadets Something about a soldier. Smile! According to campus legend, ever since a commencement speak- er droned on to mid-afternoon, the graduation address has been given at Washington and Lee by the president. To suggest brevity, it is called not a speech, but “remarks to graduates.” President Cole made the remarks, but it sounded like a speech. Most folks agreed it was a pretty good one, and in view of 4 what he had to say, many thought he must have had advance notice about what Mr. Goldstein was planning. But it was only coin- cidental that President Cole’s re- marks provided a kind of rebuttal to the views set forth by Mr. Gold- stein. Said President Cole: “IT believe all of us are aware of the criticisms which are leveled at the University each academic sea- son by the current generation of students.... Each year the faculty and administrators are confronted with the rather unusual phenome- non of students who, in the course of one to four years, discover, ap- parently, simple answers to academ- ic and institutional problems that stump men whose experience in these matters extends over ten, THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE twenty, thirty years and_ longer. Sometimes, when the University does not respond immediately to these obvious solutions, the critics become quite cynical in their atti- tudes toward the University. They feel they have been witnesses to the utter decline of a once-wonderful institution, and they feel that their experience in this respect is unique and wholly theirs. But student atti- tudes and concerns have an unusu- al cycle.” President Cole went on to quote from a student critic of the mid- 1930's, and for a few sentences, it sounded like Mr. Goldstein had the floor again. But the critic of other days concluded that despite its shortcomings, Washington and Lee was a fine place to get an education, largely because of the quality of the men who taught there. This tied in very nicely with President Cole’s major point of his address: that Washington and Lee has been for- tunate to have an unbroken succes- sion of superior teachers, and that it is this excellence of teaching, combined with the traditions of honor and gentlemanly conduct, which will eventually make Wash- ington and Lee “best of all.” Then a few members of the Glee Club led the rest of the graduates and the faculty in an indistinct chorus of “College Friendships,” and it was all over for another year. There was still the hand-shaking and leave-taking, and a few more pictures to be snapped, but the crowd thinned quickly, and the rapidity with which most gradu- ates can depart Lexington remains a marvel to behold. All in all, it was a good gradua- tion. A year from now, few parents will remember what the valedictor- ian said, or for that matter, what the President said. But they'll al- ways remember that one great mo- ment when their son stepped up to get his degree. And if he got his hands mixed up and nearly upset the microphone, so what? SUMMER 1962 ‘“Frontiers of the Mind”’ HE 1962 BACCALAUREATE SERMON was delivered in Lee Chapel i, Dr. James I. McCord, president of Princeton Theological Seminary. Dr. McCord told his audience of seniors, parents, and faculty that there is a “frontier of the spirit’ which lifts man “above the fluctuating vicissitudes of history and opens to him horizons broad enough for fulfillment.” He said man is a “theological being to be viewed from above and in the light of God. The man for whom this frontier of the spirit is closed is the shrunken man, the hollow and petty man, that is, condemned to a life that is one-dimensional.” Dr. McCord noted that at the peak of this country’s power and responsibility, Americans have become a people “dominated by the trivial within and intimated by the vulgar without.” “It is true that we are in a period of radical transition and that our relationship to the rest of the world has been revolution- ized,” he declared. “History has caught up and surrounded us.” “But, it is precisely at this point that St. Paul’s advice is most pertinent,” the speaker added. “He reminds us that there is the frontier of the mind to be explored.” “Only recently,’ Dr. McCord asserted, “have we been liberated from superstition, and not yet have we been set free from the most elemental fears. The increase in knowledge since the be- ginning of this century is astounding when measured against the knowledge accumulated in all the centuries that have gone before us, but it is infinitesimal when measured against the intellectual frontier that has not yet been possessed. “We are only in the beginning of the scientific revolution, and we dare not lag in this enterprise. You will be adjusting to new knowledge and participating in continuing education as long as you live.” President Cole’s excellent graduation address and the citations for the dis- tinguished honorary degree recipients are carried in full on the following pages. The President's Remarks Washington and Lee's Traditions of Honor, Gentlemanly Conduct, And Faculty Excellence Influence All Students Throughout Lifetimes to the Graduates LTHOUGH THESE BRIEF remarks traditionally are heard near the close of the commencement cere- mony, I take this opportunity to extend a warm wel- come to the parents, the families, and friends of to- day’s graduating seniors. —I’wo years ago Mrs. Cole and I were: privileged to share with other parents the great pride and personal satisfaction that derives from the graduation of a son or daughter from college. And it is an experience that I hope we shall share several more times in the seemingly on-rushing future. Just as you—the graduates—have had occasion in the past few years to call upon reserves of diligence and dedication to scholarship in order to qualify for your degrees, so have your mothers and fathers from time to time called on their reserves of tolerance and understanding in regard to your college activities, THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE not all of which, perhaps, were limited to academic pursuits. So, in extending to the gradautes my con- gratulations upon their achievements symbolized by this commencement, I also offer congratulations to their parents, guardians, and families for providing the foundations of determination and encouragement which make the work of the college professor and ad- ministrator a pleasant task. Since the president’s role in this exercise is some- what different from that of the customary commence- ment speaker, I do not feel compelled to recite the challenges which a troubled world holds for today’s young men and women—as real and pervasive as these challenges may be. Neither do I feel impelled, as a visiting speaker might, to extoll the virtues of either George Washington or Robert E. Lee—although the lives of both of these men are appropriately the sub- ject of many graduation remarks, not only here but on other campuses. Instead, I would like to discuss with you briefly, during these final moments of your student life on this campus, some of the influences which have focused on your lives as students. 1 do not mean the specific influences of new knowl- edge acquired from lectures, texts, or the storehouse of information and ideals which is the library. I refer to the somewhat intangible influences of the traditions of the University, and I refer especially to the influ- ences, both contemporary and historical, which are a part of the student-teacher relationship at a college like this. Part of a Larger Tradition Perhaps as students you have tended to think of Washington and Lee’s traditions in terms of speaking on the campus walks, wearing a coat and tie, or elect- ing a student government which administers, among other important activities, the cherished Honor Sys- tem. All of these, especially the Honor System, are im- portant, but they are not so much traditions in them- selves as they are a part of the ovenall, historical tra- dition of the University that has permitted these practices and customs to develop and flourish here. The Honor System is, after all, a derivation from the character of the honorable men who have taught and studied at Washington and Lee over a span of more than two centuries. The Honor System presup- poses not only the honor of the individual, but also a certain confidence and faith which the individual must have in his fellow man. As much or more than any other single influence, this camaraderie of honor binds the alumni of Washington and Lee into a rather unique brotherhood, regardless of their geographical origins, regardless of the special conditions which obtained when they were students on this campus. SUMMER 1962 From time to time questions arise as to specific ap- plications of the Honor System. Different generations of students may have differing concepts of a definition of honor, and may question the Honor System in terms of their definition, but I know of no conceivable chal- lenge to the basic principles of honor. The Conduct of Gentlemen A partner to the concept of honor which is so much a part of the Washington and Lee tradition is the con- cept of gentlemanly conduct and bearing by the stu- dents of this University. Certainly men of honor studied at this institution prior to the Civil War, as did men who could be called gentlemen in every sense of the word. In dating the beginning of the Honor System, however, it is appropriate to begin with General Lee’s administration, and certainly Lee’s answer to the student who asked for a book of rules provided the solid frame in which to focus the gen- tleman’s tradition. I know you are all familiar with his answer: “We have but one rule here, and it is that every student must be a gentleman!” The learning process may be little affected by whether a student wears a coat and tie to class or not. And with the one notable exception afforded by the famous Doremus incident, it is difficult to trace truly tangible results of students’ exchanging greetings among themselves and with strangers on the campus. But both of these practices represent a part of the larger tradition of gentlemanly conduct among stu- dents. And it might be said that insomuch as these practices reflect a certain amount of self-concern and self-pride in the individual as to how he looks and how he behaves, there may be important carry-over bene- fits that may affect the concern and pride a student has in his scholarly achievements. — But my point is a simple and direct one; the tra- dition of students who are honorable and who are gentlemen is a thread that connects two hundred years of Washington and Lee men. It is a tradition that fuses with the historical tradition of the University, emphasizing the impact which the institution has had on thousands of lives as these students became in spirit and in fact a part of something that has endured and will endure. It fuses also with the tradition of ser- vice and leadership to the nation which students of Washington and Lee have rendered in war and in peace. I believe, and I am certain that you will agree, that you of the class of 1962 have been touched by the traditions of Washington and Lee, and that the influ- ence upon you which they have had is significant. If I am to judge by what I hear from members of form- er generations of students, the influence these tra- ditions have will continue to grow as you grow older. 7 As meaningful as these traditions may be to you even now, I believe they will become even more meaning- ful as your sense of value becomes more sharply de- fined through the maturity of active and productive lives. There is another tradition at Washington and Lee that has touched your lives, and it is of such im- portance as to merit special emphasis at this time. This is the tradition of dedicated, unselfish, often seemingly tireless men who have served this Univer- sity as professors, men whose lives of devotion to scholarship and teaching punctuate the record of Washington and Lee’s long history. In this instance, | do not refer to the presidents or the deans, or the other administrators—although the history of service among these men is similarly inspiring—but I speak of the teaching faculty, men whose influence is inscribed permanently on the lives of students who were their pupils and young associates in an adventure of learn- ing. The Unique Role of the Faculty When I spoke near this spot on the University’s most recent inaugural day, I suggested that the faculty is, after all, the only unique thing which a college has to offer. Information can be obtained from books and journals, read at home or in a library. Laboratory techniques may be learned on the job. Extracurricular interests may be served by private and community clubs and activities. But only in college can be found the guidance, the association, and the inspiration of the wise and sympathetic teacher. And in those re- marks, I noted that a teacher in a great college or university must be an able communicator of knowl- edge, an enthusiastic scholar, a patient counsellor. And I said then that a good faculty should include truly distinguished scholars in every field of knowledge, and it should have a balance between mature ex- perience and youthful aspiration. Washington and Lee University has been fortun- ate, and above all, its students have been fortunate, in the association with this institution of an unbroken succession of men who have met every qualification of the good teacher. Men like Professor Alexander L. Nelson, Cincin- nati Professor of Mathematics for 52 years in a career that spanned the antebellum and post-bellum periods of the institution. Or a contemporary of Professor Nel- son’s, Professor James A. Harrison, who first insisted that students should have a competence in English as a requirement for graduation. He argued, and effectively so, that English should be on a par with, and I quote him here, “the languages of Athens and Rome, with the science of numbers, or with the bugs and birds of our museum.” 8 Of a later period there were Professors Henry Donald Campbell, who taught geology and biology, and Livingston Waddell Smith, who taught mathe- matics and frequently made his point, it is said, by smashing chalk against the blackboard from across the room. There was Professor Addison Hogue who taught Greek and found the most frequent reasons for student failures to be “alcoholic beverages, frivol- ity, and athletics.” I hasten to add that Professor Hogue belonged to the era of 1894 to 1921. Professor Edgar Finley Shannon, the late father of the Washington and Lee alumnus who is now president of the University of Virginia, was for many years head of the English Department here. He is honored in the hearts of all who studied with him. Forest Fletcher, outstanding Olympic athlete who became professor of physical education and director of athletics, was a teacher who influenced young men’s bodily well-being as well as their minds and characters. His memory is also recalled through a number of our athletic trophies, but primarily through the continu- ing association which students today are privileged to share with his lovely lady, Mrs. Laura Fletcher, housemother for Zeta Beta Tau. Dr. James Lewis Howe, for whom our Howe Hall is named, was a teacher of chemistry, but he was a man of such broad interests that students of many callings were his close associates. Like many others, Dr. Howe’s scholarship was so profound and_ his tenure of service so long that his career became some- what legendary. I am told that freshmen were awed by the upperclassmen’s tale that Dr. Howe “thought in German, wrote in Latin and English, and read Chinese for recreation.” The List Is Inexhaustible The list of distinguished teachers and scholars who have occupied these classrooms and laboratories is, for my purpose here today, virtually inexhaustible: Professor Robert Henry Tucker, former dean of the University but also a great teacher of economics, who lives today in retirement in Richmond... . Profes- sor L. J. Desha, for many years a colleague of Dr. Howe’s on the chemistry faculty and an eminent teach- er and scholar, who—though no longer a teacher—re- mains an active member of the University family. His interest in Washington and Lee and his lively spirit continue to be an inspiration and a delight to us ail. From what I have read of him, and from what |] have heard from those who knew him, there was an- other professor, Dr. De la War Easter, professor of romance languages from 1910 until his death in 1933, in whom apparently were combined many of the qualities of the ideal professor. Recorded in the files of old alumni magazines of the University is a description THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE of Dr. Easter which, to my mind, is perhaps a descrip- tion of so many men who have served this faculty and this University. It reads this way: “He is a great teacher in four essential respects: He possesses a deep and comprehensive knowledge of his subject. To him teaching is no wearying task, but is a source of genuine pleasure. He is profoundly in- terested in young men; he studies the needs of his students, knows their peculiarities, and is deeply con- cerned for the advancement and development of each individual. And with it all, he possesses in a most marked degree the power of stimulating men and creating in them a real enthusiasm for study. “Dr. Easter is never satisfied with a superficial view of knowledge of any subject he may be interested in; he delves to the bottom of things and inspires in his students the same attitude of mind. Accordingly, the young men who sit under his instruction acquire more than a mere knowledge of the subjects in hand: they come forth students in the real sense of the word.” Understandably, the influences of these men ex- tended beyond the limits of the lectures and classroom contacts. Theirs was the opportunity really to know the students they taught, and if a student fell short of absorbing all the professor might have to offer in the way of scholarship and learning, then perhaps the deficiency was supplemented by a rich measure of character development and humility that comes from close friendship with liberally-educated men of in- tegrity and dedication. The Tradition Continues Today If I have recited the names of teachers from Wash- ington and Lee’s past, I do not mean to suggest that this tradition lives only in former years. It continues today, and each and every one of you will take with you from this campus the imprint which your protes- sors have made on your minds and characters. It 1s conceivable, perhaps even likely, that many years may pass before you become aware just how great these influences have been in your lives. But I assure you that you have been touched, and you are the bet- ter for it. Two of the University’s most faithful and dedicat- ed professors are retiring this year. Professor Rupert N. Latture and Professor Gleason Bean have witnessed many graduation ceremonies such as this, they have known many students, and these students have bene- fited from having known these men. ‘The retirement or other loss of able men like Professor Latture and Pro- fessor Bean, and last year, Professor Dickey, poses special problems for the University, for replacements must be found. Hopefully, they will be replacements of a kind whose scholarship and teaching, and their dedication to both, will make them worthy successors SUMMER 1962 to these men, and will cause them to become a part of this living tradition of service to Washington and Lee and its students. I do not think it is inappropriate at this point to comment on the departure from this faculty of anoth- er man whose presence on this campus has benefited all whose pleasure it has been to work with him. His departure is neither his nor the University’s wish, but because of his special profession he must serve where directed by higher authority. I refer, of course, to Major Edward Roxbury, and I know all of you join me in wishing him and his family continued success. I believe all of us are aware of the criticisms which are leveled at the University each academic season by Professor ALLEN MOoGER congratulates Senior Rosin Woon. the current generation of students. These may be cri- ticisms of the bull-session or they may be the critical questions raised by the columnists whose words brighten and enliven the pages of the student news- paper. Each year the faculty and administrators are confronted with the rather unusual phenomenon of students who in the course of one to four years dis- cover, apparently, simple answers to academic and in- stitutional problems that stump men whose experience in these matters extends over ten, twenty, thirty years 9 or longer. Sometimes, when the University does not respond immediately to these obvious solutions, the critics become quite cynical in their attitude toward their University. They feel that they have been wit- nesses to the utter decline of a once-wonderful insti- tution, and they feel that their experience in this re- spect is unique and wholly theirs. But student atti- tudes and concerns have an unusual cycle. I can dem- onstrate this point by reading an excerpt from a stu- dent publication of the year 1934. The student author wrote these words: “We of the younger generation are proud of our cynicism. We look life squarely in the face, see its faults and vices, understand them—rarely, we rise above them. But ours is not the hard-bitten attitude of older people who are inconvertibly set and harsh in their judgment. We can be shaken from our de- tached viewpoint, made to feel, for a brief instant at least, that perhaps we are mistaken in our whole out- look on life. I am so shaken when I look at Washing- ton and Lee. “For cynics are prone to base their beliefs on rea- son and fact, and I can find no reason for what I feel. Other schools, from a reasonable point of view, are better than this one. ‘Their equipment is more modern, their faculties more highly-trained, their student bod- ies more liberal and intelligent, their campuses as beautiful. And yet... there is an essential fineness in this University that I can’t account for, an element that makes it rise superior to any faults that it has. ‘The fact is disconcerting. It is disconcerting for I see those faults so plainly.” The author went on to enumerate shortcomings in the Honor System, to take issue with the conformity of conventional dress and the existing code of conduct, and to criticize the evils of fraternity politics. I quote again from his article: “What is this power that, while it does not blind us ito faults in plain view, makes us rise above them, recognize that they are incidental to the main current of life here? What is this spirit that shakes cynics? “I think it must be the fine lives that have gone into the building of Washington and Lee. From the earliest beginning of this institution men have given it more than they could ever hope to have returned. ‘They have labored and sacrificed, without reward, but with glorious hope and confidence in their hearts that some day in some fashion that labor and. sacrifice would receive its due. Is this their reward, this im- mortality that shapes young lives in patterns wholly good? For it is an immortality, perhaps the greatest that man can receive. Each day we are in communica- tion with them. Each building we use, each class, each privilege, each tradition, came from their work. Shakespeare was wrong—the good these men have done has not died with them. It is as much alive today as ever, giving force and meaning to our lives here. I shall not remember Lee for anything but that which he gave to this University, for that is the gift that will go on yielding revenue until the end of time through men who come into contact with it on this campus. “No fault, or combination of faults is more power- ful than the example these men have set us. It rises above petty politics, breaches of honor, steady, un- wavering. It is the thing that we will have to remem- ber in years to come.” I would like to append this footnote. The author’s oldest son was a graduate of Washington and Lee four years ago, and his second son is a member of this year’s freshman class. In conclusion, I shall only underscore the words of that student of another generation: there is indeed an essential fineness about Washington and Lee that transcends whatever shortcomings which might tem- porarily affect it. If we may visualize the day when all of Washington and Lee’s material and academic needs are satisfied, so that in faculty, student body, curriculum, and physical plant it will rank in every respect alongside the very greatest of institutions, I believe that Washington and Lee’s essential fineness— its traditions and heritage—will lift it above its equals and make this University best of all. For you, who are a living part of this tradition, I wish all success in your promising futures. The student article quoted by President Cole was written by E. N. S. Girard, *34, and was published in the Southern Collegian and a subsequent issue of the Alumni Magazine in 1934. 10 THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE L-r, WitiiAmM S. MILBURN, REAR ADM. RoBERT D. Pow- ERS, JR., MAJ. GEN. CEORGE R. E. SHELL, and PRESIDENT COLE. Citations of Honor WILLIAM STANFORD MILBURN, administrative assistant, Louis- ville Public Schools, Louisville, Kentucky. Educated in the colleges and universities of his native state of Indiana, Mr. Milburn has devoted his life to serving the educational needs of young men and women. First as a teacher in Indiana schools, and later as an official of Louisville public schools, Mr. Milburn has been an influence for immeasurable good in the lives of thousands of students who have been touched by his noteworthy qualities of wisdom, integrity, kind- ness, and understanding. For thirty years he was principal of Louisville Male High School, during which time this institu- tion achieved the stature of one of the South’s finest. Among the outstanding graduates of Washington and Lee University is an unusually large number of young men who are also alumni of Louisville Male High School, men who derived inspiration and Rear Adm. Robert Davis Powers, fr. RoBert DAvis Powers, JR., rear admiral, United States Navy, deputy and assistant judge advocate general for the Navy De- partment. A native of Gloucester County, Virginia, Admiral Powers was educated in the public schools of Portsmouth, Virginia, and received his Bachelor of Laws degree from Washington and Lee University. His subsequent practice of law in the city of Portsmouth, a community of naval traditions, led him to ac- cept a commission in the U.S. Naval Reserve in 1937, marking the start of a happy blending of careers of law and service to his country. Called to active duty in June, 1941, Admiral Powers began a distinguished naval acreer which saw him advance steadily from one position of great responsibility to another of greater re- sponsibility. Among many important assignments during World SUMMER 1962 William Stanford Milburn guidance in their academic careers from Mr. Milburn at a time of vital importance in their youth. Not only has Mr. Milburn been responsible for the advance- ment of education in Louisville, but he also has responded to the civic needs of his community through meritorious service on the city’s Board of Aldermen, sitting as president of this body for eight years. Mr. Milburn is honored here today, partly because he has been a good and faithful friend of Washington and Lee Univer- sity, but primarily because his service to one of America’s most important cities, and his influence upon the youth of that city, single him for distinction among the educators of this nation. With great admiration and gratitude, Washington and Lee confers upon him the degree of Doctor of Laws. War IL was his service as counsel for the Judge Advocate Naval Court of Inquiry to investigate the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. | Following a brief release from active duty in 1946, Admiral Powers was returned to active status with the Regular Navy in 1947 and resumed his advancement through naval and legal ranks. In July, 1960, he was designated deputy and assistant judge advocate general, Navy Department, and a year later he was promoted to the rank of rear admiral. His dedicated service to his nation, his scholarship in mat- ters of international law and other fields, his exemplary merger of legal and naval careers—all mark Admiral Powers as an alumnus of unusual distinction. His University is proud to be- stow upon him its degree of Doctor of Laws. 11 Citations of Honor Major GENERAL GEORGE RICHARD EDWIN SHELL, superinten- dent of the Virginia Military Institute. Virginia Military Institute has greeted “Bud” Shell on two special occasions. ‘The first was in 1927 when he arrived from his home in ‘Tidewater Virginia as a lowly fourth classman, a “brother rat” among many young men viewing the Spartan ramparts for the first time. The second time was in 1960 when “Bud” Shell—General “Bud” Shell—returned to become the ninth man in the Institute’s history to serve as its superinten- dent, viewing, no doubt, those ramparts with somewhat different emotions. Between these auspicious arrivals, General Shell had devoted thirty-three years to the service of his Alma Mater and to his nation. Four of those years were spent at VMI where he dis- tinguished himself as an officer of his class, as an officer of the cadet corps, and as a varsity athlete. Commissioned a Marine second lieutenant upon graduation from VMI, General Shell saw his promotions follow with appropriate regularity, culmi- Robert Chester Smith Maj. Gen. George R. E. Shell nating in 1956 with his elevation to the rank of a general officer. His wartime record was heroic; he was a battalion com- mander on Guadalcanal, Tarawa and Saipan. On Saipan he won the Legion of Merit with Combat “V” and the Purple Heart. General Shell’s active service as a Marine ended in 1960 when he relinquished command of the Parris Island Recruit Training Depot to assume the superintendency of VMI. In addition to qualities which have served him so well as a mili- tary commander, General Shell possesses also those qualities which define the perceptive and sensitive academic administra- tor. His influence at the Institute is felt in a new vigor and enthusiasm for the future which is held by all those associated with VMI. Washington and Lee, guardian of the Institute’s right flank, seeking to acknowledge the admiration and respect it holds for its distinguished colleague, friend, and neighbor, confers upon General Shell its degree of Doctor of Laws. Ropert CHESTER SMITH, vice-president for industrial rela- tions, Pullman-Standard Division of Pullman, Incorporated, of Chicago. A native of nearby Covington, Virginia, and an honor gradu- ate of Washington and Lee University, Mr. Smith has won dis- tinction in a career that has included rewarding experiences as a college teacher, as an official of state and federal government, and as an executive of one of this nation’s most important corporations. Mr. Smith is an acknowledged expert in the vital field of industrial relations. His understanding of the complex inter- relationships among citizens in an industrialized society and the great corporations which employ them has won him admiration and respect from the leaders of management, labor, and govern- ment. From time to time, students at this University benefit directly from his vast storehouse of knowledge and experience in his field of work, for he has been an effective and inspiring guest lecturer in classes in the School of Commerce and Admin- istration. ‘The measure of success which Mr. Smith has achieved in all he has undertaken is reflected by the high esteem in which he is held by all who know and work with him, and it is reflected in the great pride of Washington and Lee University in one of its most outstanding graduates. The degree of Doctor of Laws which is bestowed today is richly deserved. Because of illness, ROBERT C. SMITH could not accept his honorary degree in person. On August 15, he died in Chicago of a heart attack. RoBERT C.

Work Part -lame ETIREMENT CAME this June for R two of Washington and Lee University’s most popular and most respected professors and depart- ment heads. Prof. Rupert Nelson Latture stepped down as head of the De- partment of Political Science, while Dr. William Gleason Bean ended his tenure as head of the Depart- ment of History. Both are 70 years old.

Behind them are virtual life- times of devoted service to Wash- ington and Lee. Together, they have spent 82 years in Washington and Lee’s classrooms—42 for Profes- sor Latture, 40 for Dr. Bean. Hun- dreds, perhaps thousands, of stu- dents have studied under their guidance since the start of their teaching careers in the early 1920's. Their teaching has spanned the administrations of four University . . - Mr. Latrrure has been named special presidents, and there is a coinciden- advisor to the Office of the President. SUMMER 1962 13 tal link that joins them with still another. Professor Latture was a freshman at Washington and Lee in 1912 when President George H. Denny resigned to become presi- dent of the University of Alabama, where Dr. Bean was a sophomore. Professor Latture went on to earn A.B. and M.A. degrees at Washington and Lee, and after war duty in Europe, he joined the political science faculty in 1920 as an assistant professor. Dr. Bean received his A.B. de- gree at Alabama, then went to Harvard for his M.A. in 1916 and his Ph.D. in 1922, the same year he was appointed assistant professor of history at Washington and Lee. President Henry L. Smith was in office then, and Professor Latture and Dr. Bean served subsequently under acting President Robert H. Tucker, and through the 29 years of President Francis P. Gaines’ ad- ministration. They were valued counsellors to President Fred C. Cole during the first three years of his office. : Dr. Bean became history depart- ment head in 1930; Professor Lat- ture was named political science de- partment head in 1941. As a teacher, Dr. Bean is best re- membered for his courses in the history of the Civil War and the Old South. He is a_ recognized scholar of the Civil War, and cur- rently serves on the executive com- mittee of the Virginia Civil War Centennial Commission. Professor Latture’s academic emphasis was divided between political science and sociology. Among his most popular classes were studies of com- parative political systems and crim- inology. | Professor Latture has also worked in various administrative capacities at Washington and Lee. Since 1938 he has been director of freshman work, and he has served as advisor to foreign students studying at Washington and Lee under the State Department’s exchange pro- 14 gram. He also has substituted for the Dean of the University, the Dean of Students, the Registrar, and other University officers. Dur- ing World War II, he was Dean of Students for two years for the hand- ful of students who remained on the rolls. For many years he has served as editor of the Catalogue, and will continue to assist in this. In addition to their part-time du- ties at Washington and Lee, the two professors expect to keep busy in other ways. Dr. Bean has a number of writ- ing and travel projects to work on, including a history of the Liberty Hall Volunteers. There is his gar- den to tend, and there will con- tinue to be the long walks along the back roads of Rockbridge Coun- ty with Dr. Ollinger Crenshaw, the professor who has succeeded Dr. Bean as department head. One of Professor Latture’s big re- tirement projects will be compila- tion of a complete history and di- rectory of Omicron Delta Kappa, the famous national honorary lead- ership fraternity which Professor Latture helped found as an under- graduate at Washington and Lee in 1914. With the 50th anniversary of the founding of the fraternity coming up in two years, Professor Latture expects to play an import- ant role in the planning for the national convention to be held then in Roanoke. While Dr. Bean has been a popu- lar statewide lecturer and speaker on the Civil War, Professor Lat- ture’s outside interests have been related primarily to civic and church activities. He has served on the county welfare board, and he is an Elder in the Presbyterian Church. Both men are active in the academic and professional organi- zations to which they belong. Both are members of Phi Beta Kappa. Dr. Bean was born in Heflin, Ala., and served as a lieutenant with the American Expeditionary Forces in France during World War I. Professor Latture was born Prof. George Irwin’s Retirement Climaxes 37 Years as a Teacher Although he was not a depart- ment head, nor the kind of profes- sor whose classroom performances become legendary, he was another of the many dedicated men whose lives have been devoted to the teaching of young men at Wash- ington and Lee. Professor George Junkin Irwin, associate professor of Romance Languages, also retired this June, at the age of 65, after 37 years on the University faculty. For several years Professor Irwin has been in failing health, and his absences from his classes were re- erettably long and frequent. He is now a patient in the Blue Ridge Sanitorium near Charlottesville. Professor Irwin is a graduate of Washington and Lee’s class of 1920. He pursued graduate study at Princeton from 1921 to 1925, where he was a Herbert Montgomery Ber- gen Fellow. He also studied at Co- lumbia University’s graduate divi- sion in Romance Languages. He joined the Washington and Lee faculty in 1925 as an assistant professor, and in 1956 he was pro- moted to associate professor. A na- tive Lexingtonian, Professor Irwin also was a veteran of World War I service as a member of Washing- ton and Lee’s volunteer ambulance corps. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE PRESIDENT COLE asked Dr. BEAN and ProrF. LATTURE to stand for special recognition at the 1962 Commencement ceremony. near Bristol, Va., and also served during World War I as one of the select members of the Foyer du Soldat, a morale-boosting branch of the French Army. He also was an interpreter for the A.E.F. and was decorated with the French Croix de Guerre. SUMMER 1962 Washington and Lee’s loss is their wives’ gain. Dr. Bean has just assisted Mrs. Bean, the form- er Lucy B. Marsteller to whom he was married 35 years ago, with a major redecoration of their home on White Street. And Mrs. Latture, the former Roberta Fulton who be- came the professor’s bride 45 years ago, has had her husband on the road for visits with their son and daughter. Wallpaper and paint, and ex- uberant young grandchildren—such are some of the rewards of retire- ment. 15 ASHINGTON AND LEE’s football Generals—their ranks decimat- ed by graduation losses—face two major challenges in the forthcom- ing 1962 season. First, they'll be trying to con- tinue the team’s heady undefeated record of nineteen consecutive games. The streak extends back to the final game of the 1959 cam- paign, and the seniors on_ this year’s squad have never played in a losing varsity contest. Second, they have a chance to become the first football champions of the new College Athletic Con- ference, formed earlier this year by Washington and Lee and _ four other colleges with similar athletic programs. Both tasks will take some doing, for the Generals lost twenty-one lettermen from the all-winning 1961 team, and the personnel sit- uation at two key positions seems critical. Even so, Head Coach Lee Mc- Laughlin refuses to take refuge in that coachly strategem of the cry- ing towel. In the first place, it’s not his nature to bemoan his losses, and in the second place, he won't find too many of his colleagues will- ing to believe him. “Naturally, we’re going to miss boys like Terry Fohs, Steve Suttle, Tommy Goodwin, and _ Charlie Gummey, but we still have some of the best boys it’s been my pleasure to coach in college, and I think we'll have a successful season,” Mc- Laughlin explains. “Whether we'll remain undefeated or not is an- other matter. It’s up to the boys themselves. It’s going to be a real challenge to them. If we can solve our problems at guard and center, I believe we'll have a good year.” The four boys McLaughlin nam- ed were All-State performers last year, and Fohs—the 145-pound line- backer—won second team Little All-American honors. He and sev- enteen other seniors were with Mc- Laughlin for four years of varsity 16 Sports Roundup ball, and their loss shortstops two of the Generals’ long suits of the past two years—depth and experi- ence. Heaviest losses were at center and guard. Besides Fohs, McLaugh- lin lost his offensive center, Jerry Hyatt, and among the guards, five of the first six are among the mis- sing. For the first time in eight years, there seem to be plenty of capable tackles, and the ends are the best ever under McLaughlin. In the backfield, McLaughlin’ was prepared for the graduation of quarterback Suttle, halfback Jim Russ, and fullback Doug Martin, but he didn’t expect the academic demise of halfback Gummey. All the same, McLaughlin feels the backfield combination of quar- terback Chuck Lane, halfbacks Henry Sackett and Stuart Yoffe, and fullback Tommy Keesee is po- tentially his best ever here. The season opener is Septem- ber 22 at Hampden-Sydney, where the Tigers haven’t forgotten how close they came to upsetting the Generals in the curtain-raiser last season. They lost by only 7-6. The home opener is a week later when 1962 Football Schedule Sept. 22 At Hampden-Sydney Sept. 29 Lebanon Valley Oct. 6 At Emory & Henry Oct. 13 At Randolph-Macon Oct. 20 Johns Hopkins Oct. 27 Franklin & Marshall Nov. 3 At Centre Nov. 10 Sewanee Nov. 17 At Southwestern alumnus Bill McHenry, ’52, brings his Lebanon Valley College team to Wilson Field. After that, the Generals meet Emory & Henry and Randolph-Macon on the road, play Johns Hopkins for Home- coming and Franklin & Marshall for Parents’ Weedend, and then take on their conference opponents with games at Centre, with Sewanee on Wilson Field, and at South- western in the season wind-up. * #* * m WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY of St. Louis became the fifth member of the College Athletic Conference this summer, joining with Wash- ington and Lee, Centre, South- western at Memphis, and the Uni- versity of the South in the new athletic association. The Washington Bears are not on the Generals’ football schedule this year for the first time in eight seasons, but they are expected to return in future campaigns. Wash- ington has given no athletic grants- in-aid since 1946, but the Bears have fared creditably against strong opposition in all sports. m SOME SPRING SPORTS weren’t very kind to the Generals, or perhaps it was the other way around. The baseball team wound up with a 1- 11-1 record, the lacrosse squad had a dismal 1-10 season, although goalie Ray Muller earned second- team All-America recognition, and even the track team, while winning five, lost a meet for the first time in three years. The Golfers were 5-3, and the tennis team, with many fine youngsters coming up, was 6-3. For the year in intercollegiate competition, Washington and Lee varsity, Jayvee, and freshman teams finished with an overall record of 82-81-2. Delta Tau Delta won the three major intramural awards, but there still were no handball play- ers among the students who could handle any one of the first eight faculty team members. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE News of the University Largest Student Body In 13 Years Expected EGISTRATION of Washington and Lee’s largest student body in thirteen years gets underway Sep- tember 14. Anticipated enrollment for the 1962-63 academic year is 1,231— forty-five more than last fall’s fig- ure. The last time the university’s fall enrollment climbed above the 1,200 figure was in 1949-50. ‘The up- surge in enrollment then was caused by the continued influx of World War II veterans. Initial classes for Washington and Lee’s 214th academic year be- gin at 8:25 a.m. September 19. A record 333-man freshman class will arrive in Lexington September 12 for a three-day orientation camp at nearby Natural Bridge. The in- coming freshman class tops the 1961 freshman total by eighteen. The University’s School of Law expects some 135 students for the session, including 55 men entering for the first time in September. The opening of the new academ- ic year will mark the first use of Washington and Lee’s $1,500,000 science facilities. They include a new four-story building for the de- partments of physics and biology plus a new wing and remodeled classrooms and laboratories for geology and chemistry in the exist- ing science building, Howe Hall. Ninty-one members of the new freshman class will be housed in a four-story dormitory completed this summer. The new dormitory was SUMMER 1962 buult at a cost of $400,000. Use of this dormitory will enable Wash- ington and Lee to eliminate hous- ing any freshmen in auxiliary dormitories. A 15-bed university infirmary— located in the basement of the new freshman dormitory—will be put into service for the first time in September. The infirmary will be used in treating students with min- or illnesses and non-communicable diseases. ‘Treatment of seriously-ill students will continue at Lexing- ton’s Stonewall Jackson Hospital. Construction crews will continue restoration work on the univer- sity’s historic Lee Chapel through- out the 1962-63 school year. Work on the nearly 100-year-old chapel is being done through a grant of $370,000 from the Ford Motor Company Fund. University officials hope to re-open the national land- mark in June, 1963. FRESHMEN entering in September are the first group of new men re- quired to take three achievement tests administered by the College Entrance Examination Board of Princeton, N. J. These tests are in addition to the previously required Scholastic Aptitude Test of the CEEB which has been required of all entering freshmen since 1951. Washington and Lee is believed to be the first men’s college in the South to require applicants to sub- mit achievement test results. ‘The University also invites, but does not require, applicants to submit the CEEB’s “writing sample,” a method of appraising an applicant’s skill in composition. m# DEAN OF ADMISSIONS Frank J. Gul- liam, back on the job after several months’ recuperation from a heart attack, says that sixty-three per cent of the 1962 freshman class will come from Southern and so-called “border” states. He says some fifty- eight per cent of the class members are graduates of public schools. There were 1,332 completed appli- cations for September admission filed with the Admissions Office, Dean Gilliam reports. Associate Dean of Admissions James D. Farrar, who directs the University program of student financial aid and scholarships, re- ports that fifty-nine freshmen will receive a total of $49,695 in finan- cial aid for the 1962-63 academic session. | B EIGHT MEMBERS of the Washing- ton and Lee faculty have received promotions which are effective Sep- tember 1. Seven of the promotions were announced by Dean of the College Willham W. Pusey ILI, while the eighth was named by Dr. Lewis W. Adams, Dean of the School of Com- merce and Administration. Named full professors were Dr. C. Westbrook Barritt, ’43, associate professor of romance languages, and Dr. Jay D. Cook, Jr., ’43, asso- clate professor of accounting. Dr. Sidney M. B. Coulling, ’48, and Dr. Cecil D. Eby, Jr., both as- sistant professors of English, were made associate professors. Instructors promoted to assistant professor were William W. Chaf- fin, English and public speaking; John K. Jennings, ’56, journalism; = 17 and Norris W. Eastman and E. Graham Leslie, ’49, physical edu- cation. @ DOUBLE HONOR came to Dr. James G. Leyburn, professor of sociology and former Dean of the Univer- sity, this Spring. On June 4, Dr. Leyburn was hon- ored by Duke University when it conferred upon him the honorary Doctor of Law degree. He was one of five men singled out for dis- tinction this year by Duke Univer- sity. Dr. Leyburn is an alumnus of ‘Trinity College of Duke University, and also holds degrees from Prince- ton (M.A.) and Yale (Ph.D.). Earlier, in May, Dr. Leyburn’s 3747-page study of the social history of the Scotch-Irish was published by the University of North Caro- lina Press. ‘he book is entitled The Scotch-Irish: A Social History. In the book, Dr. Leyburn traces the three principal chapters of the progress of the Scotch-Irish, includ- ing their life in Scotland, their removal to Northern Ireland, and their subsequent migrations to America. He dispels much of what he terms the “mythology” of the Scotch-Irish. m AN ARTICLE by Dr. L. L. Barrett, professor and head of the Depart- ment of Romance Languages, has been selected for translation and publication in an anthology of articles on Spanish-American and Brazilian linguistic and _ literary subjects. Dr. Barrett’s critical study of the technique of Erico Verissimo, Bra- zil’s leading novelist, will be in- cluded in a book designed for dis- tribution throughout Latin Amert- ca as a gesture of good will and evidence of the interest of North American scholars in the cultures of the other Americas. m DR.

JOHN H. WISE, professor of chemistry, attended a_ three-week conference on molecular structure and spectroscopy at Case Institute of Technology in Cleveland in July. In August, he took part in a two-week conference at the Uni- versity of Florida in Gainesville, dealing with nuclear and electron spin resonance. Both conferences were sponsored by the National Science Foundation. B HENRY L. RAVENHORST, associate professor of engineering, was a par- ticipant in a conference at Dart- mouth College, Hanover, N.

President Cole said Washington and Lee will use the grant to strengthen its science program through the addition of critically- needed professors to its science faculty. ‘The sum is to be expended at the rate of $15,000 annually over a two-year period. President Cole said the grant re- flects a recent shift in the Research Corporation’s policy which now en- ables the philanthropic organiza- tion to devote increasing amounts of its resources to the support of science instruction and_ research through unrestricted grants to lib- eral arts colleges. Previously, the Research Corporation’s aid to edu- cation was largely in support of in- dividual research projects conduct- ed by individual professors. President Cole said the grant in- dicated the Research Corporation’s confidence that Washington and Lee possesses the potential to de- velop as a significant leader in the preparation of future scientists. m@ WASHINGTON AND LEE was one of 302 colleges and universities shar- ing in $3,730,634 granted by the National Science Foundation in in- stitutional grants to be used at the discretion of recipients to help meet needs in science education and research.

The work force built a frame building almost as big as the Chap- el itself to house their tools and SUMMER 1962 things, and then they put up a big fence to keep the tourists away. Pipes and other materials began to stockpile on the surrounding lawn, and then came a machine that exca- vated a big part of the lawn right in front of the Chapel to make room for the underground air-con- ditioning and heating equipment. Meanwhile, inside the Chapel, workers built a big box around the Recumbent Statue to protect it. Earlier, other workers had removed all movable items lke furniture, museum relics, and portraits. Next, they stripped the plaster from the ceiling, and by late August, the slate roof was being peeled off, ex- posing the old beams that had not seen the sunlight since 1867. Left, the University’s new science building is ready for the opening session. It is the new home of the physics and biology departments. Below, restoration of Lee Chapel goes on behind high board fence, while ditches are dug near Payne Fall. Two large display signs were erected by the University to explain to visitors what was happening. On the back campus, things were Just as unsightly, but this was noth- ing new there. The new building for physics and biology was virtual- ly complete, ready for the depart- ments to move in, but the landscap- ing remained to be done, and over at Howe Hall there was a lot more than landscaping worrying the chemistry and geology people. ‘The general remodeling of Howe Hall seemed to be behind schedule, but an increase in the work force raised hopes that the building would be ready for students in Sep- tember. While blasting to make a new 1g route for the access road to the University heating plant, a large charge of explosives made a bigger bang than apparently was expect- ed. A rock gouged a big hole in a nearby automobile, and inside the adjacent print shop, a fluorescent light tube came crashing down on- to a linotype machine and its op- erator. No one was hurt. Many were scared. To accommodate underground cables and pipes, a trench was dug between the area of the print shop and Lee Chapel, running between Payne and Newcomb Halls. One tourist, observing the earthworks thrown up by the ditch-digging machine, remarked that “You all must think the Yankees are coming back.” g MAJ. EDwarRD J. Roxbury, Jr., pro- fessor of military science and head of Washington and Lee’s Army R.O.'T.C. program for the past three years, has been reassigned to the Armed Forces Staff College in Norfolk, Va. Major Roxbury’s transfer is in keeping with normal Army rota- tion of officers and enlisted men as- signed to R.O. T.C. duty. Of all the men who have headed the University’s military depart- ment since its beginning in 1951, Major Roxbury seemed to fit most easily into the assignment. A one- time resident of Lexington, he had married a Lexington girl, Lucy Barger, so the Washington and Lee assignment represented a home- coming for him. He also was com- fortably at home in the academic community, for he held the B.S. degree from the United States Mili- tary Academy and the M.A. degree from Columbia University, and he had been an assistant professor of social science at West Point and advisor to the dean of the Korean Military Academy near Seoul. 20 Respected and admired by fac- ulty and students alike, Major Rox- bury was praised in President Cole’s graduation remarks for the contribution he had made to the University. There has been no announce- ment of Major Roxbury’s successor. m@ PHILIP K. YONGE, ’39, has been named visiting professor of law at Washington and Lee. Professor Yonge’s appointment is effective September 1 and he will teach fulltime. He is completing work at Yale University for his doctor of juridical science degree. In announcing Professor Yonge’s appointment, Dean Charles P. Light, Jr., also said that Professor Charles R. McDowell, a member of the Washington and Lee law fac- ulty since 1927, will teach half of each week during the 1962-63 ses- sion as visiting professor at the University of Virginia Law School. Professor McDowell will continue to teach at Washington and Lee on a part time basis during this period. Robert R. Huntley, associate professor of law, will return to the Washington and Lee faculty in September. He has been on leave as a Graduate Fellow at the Harv- ard Law School this year. Professor Yonge, who received his A.B. degree, summa cum laude, from Washington and Lee in 19309, is a 1942 graduate of the University of Florida Law School. After ser- vice with the U.S. Army Air Force in World War II, he practiced law in Pensacola, Fla., for two years. m ANDREW W. MC THENIA, JR., 58, of Alderson, W. Va., will serve as edi- tor-in-chief of the Washington and Lee Law Review during the 1962 fall semester. McThenia, who was. student body president during the 1961-62 session, will direct a staff which will include James L. Howe III, of Phil- adelphia; ‘Timothy G. Ireland and John W. Johnson, both of Akron, Ohio; and Jay F. Wilks, of Hamp- ton, Va. mg THE STUDENT Interfraternity Council has abolished social fra- ternities’ traditional second semes- ter “Hell Week.” A majority of the presidents of the University’s 18 fraternities ap- proved the complete abolition of pledging activities normally held during the first week of the second semester. ‘The move is the first re- sult of an intensive and continu- ing study of the relationship of the fraternity system to the University currently being made by the Inter- fraternity Council (IFC). Potentially dangerous freshman hazing practices were virtually eliminated at Washington and Lee in April, 1956. Fraternities were urged then to plan constructive ac- tivities for pledges during the re- vamped “Hell Week’’—subsequent- ly called “Help Week” by some fra- ternities. IFC members, however, felt that even this version of pledging ac- tivities interfered with the fresh- men’s studies. Still under study by the IFC is the present fraternity rush system. Washington and Lee’s rushing is conducted during the first week of the school year. “The Interfraternity Council’s abolition of ‘Hell Week’ and the continuing study of the fraternity system on our campus is another il- lustration of responsible student self-government at Washington and Lee,” Dean of Students Edward C. Atwood, Jr., said. mw THE UNIVERSITY’S splendid debate team capped off a highly successful season by capturing the ‘Television THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Shenandoah . . An Excellent ‘Little’ Magazine HENANDOAH, Washington and Lee’s “little” magazine, has an excellent reputation among the people who read it, but its major problem is the paucity of those who have the opportunity to see it. For twelve years now, since its beginning in 1950, Shenandoah’s editorial board of faculty members has directed its publication along experimental lines. Originally con- ceived as a joint student-faculty venture, it had a joint editorial board during its first year, and then until 1958, a student served as editor-in-chief. Since 1958, when the faculty editorial board assumed full control of the publication, each issue has been edited by a fac- ulty board member on a rotating basis. This spring, the board an- nounced that a further change was forthcoming, and with it, plans to lift Shenandoah from its relative obscurity with only 500 subscribers to a place of prominence, not only Editor JAMES BOATWRIGHT ponders new job. in Virginia, but in the nation. The editorial change involved the appointment of a full-time edi- tor who would serve for a year and be subject to re-election by the edi- torial board. The board chose as its first editor James Boatwright, a young English instructor who would be relieved of part of his teaching duties to engage in Shen- andoah work. The new plans for increased cir- culation meant that Shenandoah would become a quarterly, which was what it was designed to be in the first place, and thus would be accepted by the national distribut- ing agency which handles such “Lit- tle’ magazines. National distribu- tion would mean the opportunity for increased subscriptions, in- creased advertising, increased rev- enue, better articles, more prom- inent contributors, and all the oth- er good things that can happen to a “‘little’ magazine, like the Ken- yon Review, the Sewanee Review, the Yale Review, or the Virginia Quarterly. And the quarterly pub- lication would enable the maga- zine to qualify for a second-class mailing permit and subsequent postal savings. Boatwright is optimistic, but realistic, about the prospects for Shenandoah’s enlarged success. In one respect, the magazine is caught in a tough cycle that will be hard to interrupt. “The magazine won't become more widely known until it attracts better manuscripts, and it can’t at- tract better manuscripts until it becomes more widely known,’ he explains. When the national dis- tributor starts work, this problem will be at least partially solved. Boatwright says the magazine also needs stability, and he feels that one editor, working for a full year, will help give it this. He feels the special issues usually related to a specific author or subject, pre- pared by the various editorial Debate Championship of North Carolina from Wake Forest College in May. The three-man Washington and Lee team of Al Eckes, of Bradford, Pa., Bill Noell, of Bluefield, W.Va., and Bill Boardman, of Columbus, Ohio, won their third straight match over North Carolina oppon- ents with a unanimous decision SUMMER 1962 over the Deacons. Davidson College and the University of North Caro- lina were earlier victims. Washington and Lee was the only team to emerge unbeaten in the television debates carried on Chapel Hill’s WUNC-TV during the spring months. In addition to the ‘TV success, the Washington and Lee team also won the Tau Kappa Alpha Vir- ginia State Championship earlier in the year. Included in the team’s activities this year have been four- teen tournaments, six television shows, a discussion conference and several demonstration debates. Coach of the successful debaters is William W. Chaffin of the Eng- list Department. 21 board members have been excel- lent, some exceptionally excellent, but he feels general readers aren’t interested in special issues of vary- ing subject matter. The new editor, whose first issue will appear this fall, hopes to fill Shenandoah’s sixty-four-plus pages with essays on the arts, criticism of a general nature—as contrasted to scholarly criticism—a great deal of poetry, fiction, and reviews of im- portant books. Fictional contribu- tors pose the biggest hurdle, for as Boatwright explains, if it’s good fiction, there’s a market for it some- where else. Boatwright has spent long hours studying lists of former contribu- tors—and there have been some out- standing names among them—look- ing for possible leads for new con- tributions. Just in recent years, Shenandoah has carried such by- lines as Arnold ‘Toynbee, William Faulkner, Katherine Anne Porter, Stephen Spender, and Peter Vier- eck, and many other professional authors, as well as outstanding scholars at other educational insti- tutions. There have been contribu- tions by Washington and Lee fac- ulty members and, occasionally, a student contribution. Especially, Boatwright hopes to collect more comment on contem- porary French and German letters, as well as the literature of England and the Americas. He hopes to keep Shenandoah from becoming a “regional” maga- zine, although he is aware that its very title suggests the South. But his main concern is finding more readers—readers among the students, among the faculty, among the alumni, and among the literary general public. And he adds, for the benefit of alumni interested in keeping abreast of fresh ideas in arts and letters, that subscriptions are available at the rate of $3 for a year’s four issues, or $5 for two years.

DUSTY VOLUME of Washing- ton and Lee’s war record was re- opened this spring to one of its brightest pages. Men who helped write this episode returned to Lex- ington to renew old friendships and relive the experiences of a time when they thought they could help make the world safe for democracy. ‘They were the members of Am- bulance Unit SSU 534, recruited from Washington and Lee’s student body in 1917 for service with the French army. Of the thirty-six orig- inal volunteer members of the unit, thirteen joined in its first official re- union on May 27-29. The reunion program was mostly informal. R. Bruce Morrison, ’17, Lexington banker and insurance man who was among the 1917 vol- unteers, was host to his former com- rades at a luncheon at his home, and the University played host at an evening banquet in Evans Din- ing Hall. There were guided tours of the campus, but mostly the re- union participants were on their own, with plenty of time to remin- isce and trade war stories. Among the memories was the day in 1917 when University President Henry Louis Smith addressed the student body and asked for vol- unteers to help form small ambu- lance units for duty in France, where the French Army was suffer- ing heavy casualties. ‘The French Government had asked the United States to recruit men for this pur- pose, and the U.S. General Order 75 provided the authority by which the nation, still officially neutral in the war, could send non-combatant personnel to Europe. President Smith’s appeal was a persuasive one, for more than the desired number of 36 men vol- unteered. Of those selected, most stayed with SSU 534 throughout the war, although some were spread among ithe 5,000 other college stu- dents who trained for ambulance duty at Allentown, Pa. SSU 534 left the United States in January, 1918. Prior to departure, nine members were transferred to another unit, while eleven men from other units were sent to the Washington and Lee contingent as replacements. In France, the unit was attached to the French 12th Infantry Divi- sion and remained with this or- ganization until the war’s end. They drove Model-T Ford ambu- lances in moving wounded French- men to and from aid stations and hospitals. They were often under fire, and men of the unit won nine Croix de Guerre and several Pur- ple Heart medals for bravery and battle wounds. The Washington and Lee unit itself received two ci- tations from the French Army.

Washington and Lee, was first sergeant of the unit. Commander of the unit was Lt. E. S. Nichols, now a doctor in Miami, Fla. Of the original 36 who left Lexington, only one was killed. He was J. P.

Roth of Austin, Tex., who was attached to the Washing- ton and Lee unit at Allentown. Roth, along with Morison and H. L. Moore, ’20, of Blacksburg, Va., wrote surviving members to map reunion plans. Each of the thirteen men who joined the reunion was presented with a souvenir booklet by the Uni- versity in which was recorded an official history of the SSU 534 and a picture of the men in their World War I uniforms. ‘17, R.

The result was one of the most successful alumni events in many years on the Washington and Lee cam- pus. Several hundred alumni and wives from the classes of 1912, 1922, 1937, and 1952 were joined by law alumni from many other classes for the busy two-day schedule, May 4-5. Orison S. Marden, president of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, was the Tucker lecturer, and his two Lee Chapel addresses were well- attended by non-law alumni as well as the law classes. Also on the program was a reception at the home Tucker Lecturer ORISON S. MARDEN chats with Law School DEAN CHARLES P. Licut, former DEAN CLAYTON E. WILLIAMS, and PRESIDENT FRED C.

The Association Holds Its Annual Meeting EETINGS OF Washington and Lee Alumni, Inc., and the as- sociation’s Board of ‘Trustees were held at the University on June 7. The general meeting was con- ducted in Lee Chapel where a small but interested body of alumni heard reports from the association’s officers on the progress and devel- opments of the past year. The re- ports of President Bernard Levin, 42, Executive Secretary William JAMEs H. CLark, °31 SUMMER 1962 Washburn, ’40, and the financial statement of Treasurer John D. Battle, Jr, ‘$4. are. carmed else- where in this issue. Major items on the agenda in- cluded the election of three new members to the Alumni Board and a new alumni representative on the University Committee on Intercol- legiate Athletics. New board members elected were James Hl. Clark, ‘91, ot Dallas, SHERWOOD W. WISE, ’32 Tex.; E. Marshall Nuckols, Jr., ‘33; of Camden, N.J.; and Sherwood W. Wise, °32, of Jackson, Miss. ‘They replace retiring President Levin of Norfolk, Clark B. Winter, ’37, of Garden City, N.Y., and Paul M. Shuford, 43, of Richmond. Mem- bership of the Board is now twelve, in accordance with the re- cently approved terms in the new charter. Gilbert Bocetti, 52, of Roanoke E. MARSHALL NUCKOLS, JR., °33 27 was elected to the athletic commit- tee, replacing Lea Booth, ‘40, of Lynchburg. Following the general meeting, the Alumni Board of ‘Trustees met in the Moffatt Seminar Room in Payne Hall. In addition to Presi- dent Levin and Treasurer Battle, trustees attending were Vice-Presi- dent Rodney M. Cook, ’46; E. Al- ton Sartor, Jr., ’38; James Bland Martin, ’31; E. Marshall Nuckols, Jv., °33; T. B. Bryant, Jr., ’28; C. William Pacy, ’50; and William B. Wisdom, ’21. Secretary Washburn and University President Fred C. Cole also attended the meeting. President Cole reviewed various aspects of University progress and cited an electronic language labora- tory as one of its most pressing needs. The board subsequently passed a resolution requesting the secretary to provide additional in- formation on the matter for consid- eration at the Board’s next meet- ing. Another motion directed the sec- retary to proceed with necessary legal requirements connected with the publication of the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, and to proceed with the printing of ap- proximately 500 copies in booklet form. ‘Trustee Pacy expressed concern for the preservation of the tradi- tions and institutional esprit de corps by the current generation of students. The following resolution “was approved: “Resolved: Whereas alumni in- dividually and collectively have ex- pressed to this Alumni Board their common concern that there is in- creasing evidence of a disregard on the part of the present students at Washington and Lee of the tried and revered customs and traditions of the University and sharp decline of their general esprit de corps, be it resolved that the Alumni Board of ‘Trustees, as representative of the entire Alumni Association, recom- mend that all agencies of the stu- dent government and University, having direct or indirect influence on such matters, take all appropri- ate measures and actions within their jurisdiction to assure a more complete and dedicated adherence to those principles.”’ Officers for 1962-63 elected by the Board were President Cook, Vice- President Battle, and ‘Treasurer Sartor. The Board expressed its ap- preciation to President Levin for his excellent leadership, and heard pledges of continued faithful ser- vice from the new president and other officers. Homecoming and OMECOMING AND Opening Dance Weekend will be com- bined again this year, following a successful pattern established last year which drew the largest Home- coming return of alumni in many years. The date is October 20, the foot- ball game is with Johns Hopkins, and the rest of the program is jam- packed with the kind of activities that make a return to Lexington and the campus an autumn high- light. It’s a good time of year to visit the Shenandoah Valley. The weath- er is usually ideal in mid-October, and the fall colors on the campus trees are brilliant then. The Wilson Field contest with Johns Hopkins will have unusual significance for the Generals, for it was Hopkins that came to Lex- 28 Dance Weekend Combined Again ington two years ago, battled Wash- ington and Lee to an 8-8 tie, and put a mild blemish on an other- wise perfect season. The Generals got even somewhat last year in Baltimore, but they still have a score to settle before the homefolks. The game will be the mid-season mark for Coach Lee McLaughlin’s squad, so the performance should be tops. As for the rest of the program, there will be plenty to do. Early ar- rivals on Friday, October 19, can see the annual decoration of fra- ternity houses, take part in the pep rally at the gym and watch the tra- ditional freshman pajama _ parade, see the Homecoming Queen crowned, and then attend the Op- ening Dance. Saturday, there’ll be time to visit with friends and former professors, take a guided tour of the new sci- ence facilities, and join with facul- ty and alumni for luncheon in Ev- ans Dining Hall. After the game, there'll be a get-to-gether for all alumni, and later that evening alumni will be welcome at the Op- ening Concert in Doremus. Dress for alumni at all events is informal. Alumni headquarters will be in the Student Union, and all are urged to register there upon arriv- al. A word of advice: If you plan to stay overnight in Lexington, make your plans and reservations early! By an unavoid- able coincidence, V.M.I. will be holding its Parents’ Weekend ac- tivities, and there will be a football game at the Keydets’ new stadium. It all means that Lexington will be a busy and festive place on Oc- tober 20. So, make plans now to join in the good times. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Report of the Association President T IS CUSTOMARY at this time of I year for the president to make a brief summary report to tie to- gether the many and varied facets of your Alumni Association. Quite naturally there is much in_ this work which is routine and there are detailed and excellent reports from the executive secretary and the treasurer elsewhere in this issue, and thus my remarks will indeed be: very. brief. First of all, let me say that your Board of ‘Trustees is a dedicated group of men. They have given tirelessly of their time and _ tal- ents. You will recall at our annual meeting last year the Association approved certain revisions in the charter which were found necessary and desirable. One of the main pro- visions was for the enlargement of the number on the Alumni Board from seven to twelve. Certain legal matters involving the State Corpo- ration Commission developed dur- ing the year and have been handled effectively by your Board. There remains one step more, which will be dealt with later. This is the final phase in a very important and progressive stride by your Associa- tion. Alumni of Washington and Lee serve their alma mater, on an in- dividual basis, in many different ways. Collectively, through your in- terest in the area chapters and in this Association as a whole, you provide a strong arm of support. SUMMER 1962 By BERNARD LEVIN, °42 President for 1961-62 Yet, I am convinced, as has been pointed out before, that the most urgent task for us individually and collectively is to reach a more ful- ly developed system of annual sup- port to the University. I think all of us realize that Washington and Lee is the kind of university that should be accom- plshing much more in terms of ganization of our Alumni Fund this year has done a most outstanding job in the reactivation of our an- nual giving plan. They have worked hard and have gotten our program “back on the track.” I say it is an individual responsibility for each of us and a collective responsi- bility as an association to continue to raise our sights and to find some PRESIDENT LEVIN speaks from Lee Chapel rostrum. alumni participation and financial support than we presently manage. TV’ not burden you with compart- sons of what other colleges of our class do in this regard. Suffice it to say that any charity fund drive in Norfolk on any weekend can and does do as well as we do in a whole year’s campaign. This is no criti- cism of any persons or group who are managing our Alumni Fund. The class and regional agent or- way of meeting this challenge in the years ahead. ‘This is what your Board of Trus- tees is earnestly seeking; this is the direction we all must take. Let me just conclude by saying that it is truly a privilege to serve as presi- dent of the Alumni Association. It has been a great honor to me, and I know I join all of you in ex- tending best wishes for a successful operation next year. 40 The Executive Secretary's Report The Association Is Strong, Its Activities Are Growing ROM AN OVERALL standpoint, I FE can happily report a smooth and rosy picture for alumni opera- tions again this year. The one rough spot, perhaps, is the status of the Alumni Fund and naturally I would like to get over this spot first. I wish I could tell you we have reached our goals, but I can't. I think members will be interested in some of the facts. The Alumni Fund Council, a body of seven men who direct the annual Alumni Fund, met several times this year. At the outset and in their two meetings last summer, the Fund Council, with authority from the Board of ‘Trustees, made plans to reactivate the Alumni Fund on a full scale, following merger with the Development Program for the past three years. Careful plans and procedures as well as a time table were estab- lished, much along the lines of our past successful operations. Class and regional agents were lined up and we were pleased with the re- sponse of those who agreed to serve. We were able to get 93 class ag- ents—a full complement—and 87 regional agents, only five short of the largest number recorded. I should like to express publicly my thanks and pay tribute to these 30 By WILLIAM C. WASHBURN, ’40 Executive Secretary men who have served, and still are serving, so ably. At the outset we recognized that there were some 1,800 alumni who were involved in the University Development Program, those who had either just pledged or paid or who were still under payments to that program. In cooperation with the Development Office, the Alum- ni Office went over each of these 1,800 names and decided there were some 250 who, for one reason or another, should definitely not be solicited further. It was decided that the balance could be solicited because their payments to the De- velopment Program were supposed to be completed before the close of the year or for other reasons. Thus in total the record shows the first general mail solicitation for the 1961-62 fund went to 10,501 members. As of June ist, we had received a response from 2,209 alumni for a total of $76,101.00. This is roughly 22 per cent of those solicited. ‘The individual response is most gratify- ing and the dollar volume is good. What a terrific record we would have if a larger participation were received! I will not bore you with a thesis on this point, but I would like to emphasize again that it is increasingly important, from the public’s point of view and in the eyes of other friends of colleges, that a high percentage of participa- tion of alumni in support of our university be shown. Now for the sunnier side. ‘Those of you who attended the annual meeting witnessed the evidence of success in the Development Pro- gram. Our new buildings are a great addition to the college and mark a step in progress in which we can all take just pride. Organizationally, we are strong. ‘Though we have not chartered any new chapters this year, the pro- grams and activities in our 40 ac- tive chapters demonstrate a new strength and interest. All chapters have met at least once and many of them several times this year. It has been my pleasure to visit 23 differ- ent chapters myself this year, and, in all, we had representatives of the college at 30 different chapters, not counting the ones Dean Gil- liam and Dean Farrar met in con- nection with admissions. Of par- ticular note is the increase of ac- tivities among the chapters in terms of assisting with recruitment of new students and programs de- signed to indoctrinate the new THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE freshmen with alumni work. This will have long range good effects. All of the visitations by me, by President Cole, and by others on the University administration and faculty reflect the interests of ac- tive and energetic chapters. The Alumni Magazine continues to be our widest channel of com- munication between the alumni and the University. Quarterly this magazine is sent to a mailing list of approximately 10,900, including some 160 overseas, all with the hope of keeping alumni informed of the news and affairs of the Uni- versity, as well as the news and ac- tivities of your classmates and col- lege friends. I might add that this magazine goes to you and to all alumni free of charge. Alumni will be interested, I think, in the records which are kept by the Alumni Office. We maintain records and jacket files on some 12,500 alumni. It is true that we do not have mailing addresses for all of these, but as far as we know, they are still living. ‘The newest wrinkle in this area is, of course, our data processing equipment and the occupational file. We have been busy this year transcribing our master cards and some of our records onto IBM cards which will enable swift and accu- rate compilation of data of all types. Furthermore, I think we can take pride in the response to the occu- pational questionnaire. From a to- tal mailing of 10,900, we have re- ceived returns, as of June ist, of 6,700. This has been accomplished with two mailings and one follow- up card. Of course, there have been numerous references to this in the magazine. We did not expect to get a 100 per cent return, and I am confident that with the returns al- ready received, we can now produce very interesting and accurate statis- tical data on the alumni of Wash- ington and Lee University. We hope to begin our work in this area during the coming summer. In the meantime, I urge any of you who have not completed the blue ques- tionnaire form to do so. We will be glad to send you the form upon request. I might add here that the information received on_ these questionnaires is absolutely fas- cinating and will be, I am sure, of immeasurable value to this Asso- ciation. There are a number of other facets in alumni work. I will not No class had more fun than the Law Class of 1952 at its anniversary banquet at Mayflower Motor Inn. SUMMER 1962 take time to elaborate on them here, but they do deserve men- tion. In our student relations area, we continue to participate in Fresh- man Camp in order to orient them to the work of the Alumni Associa- tion and to award a prize to the boy who best upholds the tradition of knowing the most names of his classmates. At the Camp, students are encouraged to participate in all alumni activities, and through our office a closer cooperation is being maintained with fraternities. Homecoming and Anniversary Class Reunions are becoming in- creasingly popular. In May we had the largest Anniversary Class Re- union in recent history. Each year your Association entertains and welcomes the senior class into the ranks of the alumni with a banquet at Natural Bridge. This, I believe, makes a lasting impression. All of these activities, and many more which I will not mention here, are of tremendous value to the Association and are growing more important each year. In closing, let me say that I have enjoyed this past year of progress. Referring to the Alumni Fund, I can only pledge an even more dedi- cated effort next year, and we shall look forward to full support. It is always difficult and dangerous at this point to try to extend thanks to all who have helped. I am aware of the possibility of overlooking someone. Nevertheless, let me first congratulate you upon your Asso- ciation officers and committeemen who have given so unselfishly of their time and efforts. To the Uni- versity administration and faculty, to the Development Office, to all chapter officers, to class and region- al agents and their many workers— in fact, just about every alumnus— I truly extend my deep apprecia- tion. And to my office staff who put up with me, I will merely add my simple but profound thanks, which I am sure they will under- stand. 41 Alumni Fund Is Short Of Goals, But Still Merits Success Label Organization of Class Agents, Regional Agents Is Exceptional And Assures Future Growth Of Vital Support by Alumni HE FINAL REPORT of the 1961-62 Alumni Fund Campaign, which ended June go, disclosed that 2,607 alumni contributed a total of $84,- 298,84, thus providing the Univer- sity vital financial sustenance in an amount equivalent to the income from an endowment of over $2,- 000,000. Sums and totals are important in the annual Alumni Fund. They are important to the alumni, for they reflect the substantial measure of interest and concern which they have for the future of their Uni- versity. ‘hey are important to the University, in tangible ways which can be translated into progress and improvement in the institution’s educational program, and in intan- gible ways which hearten and en- courage those whose commitment to Washington and Lee is total, the professors and others who work for its advancement. And the sums and totals are important simply as mea- suring devices. As yardsticks, the 1961-62 figures indicate that the Fund fell short 32 of announced goals, both in num- ber of contributors and in total amount given. Yet, the 1961-62 campaign can be looked upon with much pride, and its results can be interpreted as successful in their own achievements and indicative of greater success in the future. ‘The Fund just completed was of singular importance. It marked a year of getting started again on a full scale, a year of reactivation or rebirth of the pattern of annual giving which had been interrupted by the necessary demands of the University Development Program. It meant getting organized again along the lines that had proven so successful in 1956, 1957, and 1958. It meant the enlisting of the essen- tial help of hundreds of alumni who were willing to work in behalf of the Fund and their University. This reorganization of the Fund was more than successful, 1t was ex- ceptional. Nearly a hundred class agents (see chart), eighty-seven re- gional agents, and hundreds of oth- er committeemen joined in the campaign. ‘They made their person- al financial contributions, but moreover, they made contributions of time and effort that cannot be valued in dollars and cents. And they did this, often, at considerable sacrifice. ‘heir response to the Uni- versity’s call for assistance was in- deed gratifying. It should be remembered that not all alumni on record were so- licited for the 1961-62 Fund. Many alumni are fulfilling pledges to the University Development Cam- paign, and among these are some of the most loyal and substantial supporters of the University. For this reason, a complete listing of names of Alumni Fund donors was withheld from this report this year. While the Alumni Association and University are eager to acknowl- edge the gifts of so many loyal friends, it was felt that such a list- ing this year might do injustice to a large number of alumni whose commitments to the development campaign precluded their support of the renewed annual fund. For those who supported the 1961-62 Alumni Fund, there is the satisfaction of knowing that their contributions have gone to work for a better Washington and Lee University. Their gifts help sup- port the Alumni Association itself, enabling the association to carry out the many programs of activities that can be of benefit to every alumnus. And most important of all, their dollars are working dol- lars for the University. They help pay the salaries of the good pro- fessors upon whose competency much of Washington and Lee’s ex- cellence depends. And they help buy the books for the libraries, so important to the scholarship of stu- dents and faculty alike. And they do many other important things. For every alumnus, including the three of every four who receive this magazine who didn’t give in a worthwhile venture will be open 1961-62, the opportunity to join in THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE soon again. The Alumni Fund Council has raised its sights for a $110,000 campaign for 1962-63. The goal is a realistic one, for in 1957- 58 Washington and Lee alumni ex- ceeded that total in support of the annual fund. As for a contributor goal, the Council simply decided “Let's get everyone to give some- thing.” The Council hopes that many regular contributors will raise their sights, increase the lev- el of their giving. But most of all, the Council, hopes to enlist the help of every alumnus next year. When one considers how much the University values the efforts and contributions of approximately one-fourth of its former students, it is an exciting challenge to think of what total participation would mean.

Larrick Establishes Fund To Support Scholarships In Law School HE DEVOTION of two alumni to T their University is mirrored in the recent establishment of two spe- cial endowments at Washington and Lee which will benefit future students. Securities valued at $56,361.74 were bequeathed to the University by the late George Edward Harris, 23, who died December 20, 1960, at his home in Greenville, N.C. Under the terms specified in Mr. Harris’s will, income from the fund is to be used “to encourage creative writing by the students, perhaps through an annual prize for the best work by an undegraduate.” An author himself, Mr. Harris also provided for Washington and Lee to receive any future royalties on his published works. Mr. Harris was a native of Greenville, where he is survived by his mother, Mrs. Belle H. Harris, and his sister, Mrs. Nina Harris Redditt. He received his B.A. de- gree in 1923, and went on to gradu- ate study at Harvard, where he earned the M.A. in 1924, and at Yale. While studying at Harvard he taught in Brown University, and he also was a teacher at Yale while studying there. Mr. Harris was active in the early developments of programming for radio. He wrote, acted, and directed radio programs, and he wrote advertising for radio presen- 34 tation. For a while he was a “read- er’ for motion picture companies, but later turned his attention to writing many articles, short stories, novels, and plays. President Fred C. Cole wrote to Mrs. Harris these words of appre- clation: “I can think of no more appro- priate way by which the spirit of a wonderful alumnus like your son could be kept alive than in this way of helping other boys to real- ize their noble dreams. It is my hope that those who profit from his generosity will develop their talents as did your son.” An equally significant endow- ment of $25,000 has been estab- lished in honor of the memory of the late Herbert S. Larrick, ’97, prominent Winchester attorney and banker for sixty years. Given by his widow, Mrs. Nancy N. Larrick of Winchester, the fund provides that its income will be used to finance scholarships for stu- dents in the University’s School of Law. Mrs. Larrick’s gift has been des- ignated as the Herbert S. Larrick Law School Scholarship Fund, President Cole said. The late Mr. Larrick received his LL.B. degree from Washington and Lee in 1897 and began his Winchester practice the same year. He died March 16, 1960. In establishing the fund, Mrs. Larrick noted that her husband was keenly interested in public education and had_ encouraged many young people to go on to college and graduate school. “We have been expanding our aid funds for the School of Law, and Mrs. Larrick’s generous gift is most timely,’ President Cole said. “A fund of this type will be of im- measurable significance to many worthy young men.” | A native of Middletown, Va., Mr. Larrick had a distinguished career as attorney, banker, and civ- ic leader in Winchester and Fred- erick County. He was Common- wealth’s Attorney for Frederick County for eight years. He helped organize the Middletown State Bank, the Commercial and Savings Bank of Winchester, the Western Frederick Bank at Gore, and the Capon Valley Bank at Wardens- ville. He served as president of the Commercial and Savings Bank from the time of its founding in 1916 until 1959 when he became chairman of the board. Mr. Larrick attended the Mid- dletown Public School and Shenan- doah Valley Academy in Winches- ter. Before entering Washington and Lee’s Law School in 1895, he attended the College of William and Mary and was principal of the Middletown School.

SUMMER 1962 CLass Notes 1904 Attributing his 81 years and splendid health to the mud and dust received on the W&L Gridiron, GrorcE E. Haw is still in the practice of law in Richmond.

He was elected a municipal judge in 1914 and has run for county judge every four years since 1918 and been opposed only once. In appreciation of his years of service, his employees gave him a dinner party and a scroll saluting his “kindness and concern” for all. When Judge Blanton completed law school at Washington and Lee, he was the youngest member of the class, and the Virginia Supreme Court had to order a special commission to admit him to the bar since he was under twenty-one. Commemorating Lee’s birthday, the fol- lowing alumni met for luncheon in Brownsville, ‘Tennessee, on January 19, 1962: JUDGE JOHN T. Gray, ‘11, Mr. ALBERT CARLTON, 714, MR. HERBERT STERN- BERGER, ‘14, Mr. L. W. Morcan, ‘a4, Mr; ALEXANDER H. Gray, 17, and Mr. Mor- TON FELSENTHAL, ’21. These alumni hope to make the affair an annual event, and they will perhaps be joined next year by other interested alumni in West Ten- nessee. 1912 Interesting news by letter from WILLIAM McELWEE MILLER added to the history prepared for the 50th Reunion of the Class of 1912. In 1919 Mr. Miller sailed for Meshad, Persia, as a missionary under the Presbyterian Church. He and his family were transferred to ‘Teheran thirteen years later, and there the Millers have worked for thirty years to spread Chris- tianity among the Moslem people.

In spite of the great difficulties associated with the economic and political situation in Indonesia, Dr. Forbus reports that a very considerable amount of progress has been accomplished in the development of the medical school at Airlangga University. Dr. Forbus will return to his post as Professor of Pathol- ogy at the Duke University Medical School at the end of this year. 1920 Upon retirement, ELpon P.

There he served for several years as language officer and in other capacities at Peiping, Han- dow, Chungking and Kunming throughout the War.

As an example, a family in Staun- ton, never before in politics, set up free pony rides in their yard one day to attract a crowd for John early in the campaign. “Marsh’s campaign speeches re- flect a youthful faith in the Ameri- can economic and political system. He talks about the ‘dynamics’ of the economic system and the values which have made America a great nation. He feels, too, that if the American society will work within the framework of its political and economic system ‘with its lasting values’ then the United States need never fear the challenges or threats of Soviet Russia. “...one year (he) was picked to attend the National Strategy Sem- inar at the National War College on the dimensions of communist ageression.
