Powell, Jr. Will Become Fifth University Alumnus To Preside Over American Bar Assn. Only Harvard and Columbia Have Had More ABA Presidents ‘Than Washington and Lee’s Law School By A. PREscoTr Rowe, ‘60 Assistant Director of Information Services HEN RICHMOND attorney Lewis F. Powell, Jr., steps up to the presidency of the American Bar As- sociation in August of 1964, he will become the fifth Washington and Lee University alumnus to hold this important post. A member of the University’s Board of ‘Trustees since 1961, Pow- ell was selected as president-elect designate of the ABA during the group's mid-year meeting in New > ~ Washington and Lee University Orleans early in February. Powell, 55, will succeed Walter E. Craig of Phoenix, Ariz., the current presi- dent-elect. He will be the eighty- eighth president of the national le- eal group that was organized in 1878 and now has over 102,000 members. Only two law schools in the na- tion have had more graduates elect- ed to the top ABA job than Wash- ington and Lee, according to sta- tistics compiled by the association’s central office in Chicago. ‘Ten graduates of Harvard University’s law school have held the post and six Columbia University alumni have served as ABA presidents. Washington and Lee’s nearest con- tender, the University of Pennsyl- vania, has had three. The first Washington and Lee alumnus to become president of the ABA was Henry St. George Tucker, THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE who guided the association in 1904- o5. He was the dean of Washington and Lee’s School of Law from 1899 to 1902. Dean ‘Tucker succeeded his father, John Randolph ‘Tucker, as dean of the Lexington law school. The elder Dean ‘Tucker was presi- dent of the ABA in 1892-93. Al- though he was a graduate of the University of Virginia, Washing- ton and Lee informally claims him as an additional W&L ABA presi- dent, since he was the University’s first law dean. Other Washington and Lee grad- uates to hold the ABA presidency and their dates of office are John W. Davis, 1922-23; Scott M. Loftin, 1934-35; and Ross L. Malone, 1958- 59- Since Washington and Lee has a relatively small law school, uni- versity officials take special pride in the number of law graduates who have headed the ABA. This Sep- tember, 142 students registered for law and 55 of those were entering Other Washington and Lee men who _ have headed the ABA are the late JoHN W. Davis, left, and Ross L. MALONE. WINTER, 1963 for the first time. The new students this year represent 35 colleges and 18 states and Canada. ‘There are nine men currently on the Wash- ington and Lec law faculty. “My feeling was one of great pride when I learned of the selec- tion of one of our distinguished law graduates—Mr. Lewis F. Powell—as president-elect designate of the American Bar Association,” Law School Dean Charles P. Light said. “Our School of Law, one of the smaller ones, has been similarly honored in earlier years by the elec- tion to the presidency of the ABA of four of its graduates and its first dean,’ Dean Light added. “This is quite a notable record. Many of our graduates also have served the bar associations of their respective states with great distinction.” ‘The current president of the Vir- ginia Bar Association, Waldo G. Miles of Bristol, is a 1938 law grad- uate of Washington and Lee. Miles was named to the Virginia Board of Fducation in January by Governor Albertis Harrison. John R. Tucker, who was the fiiteenth president of the associa- tion, served as Washington and Lee’s law dean from 1870 to 1899. When the original law — school building burned in 1934 and the present three-story edifice was built to replace it, University of- ficials decided to re-name the build- ing ‘Tucker Hall in honor of Dean ‘Tucker’s service. Like his son, he also served in Congress. Henry St. George ‘Tucker was the twenty-seventh ABA president. He died in 1932 after having served as law dean at Washington and Lee and Columbian (now George Wash- ington University), seven terms in Congress, and as president of the Jamestown Exposition Co. He was dean of the School of Law and Dip- lomacy at George Washington “when he was elected ABA presi- dent. He received his LL.B. from Washington and Lee in 1876. It was seventeen years after the younger ‘Tucker was ABA president when another Washington and Lee alumnus took the helm of the or- ganization. In 1922, John W. Davis, the 1924 Democratic nominee for President, stepped up to the post as the forty-fifth president. Davis, who died in 1955, was a member of the 62nd and 63rd Congresses, Solicitor-General of the U.S. for five years and U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain for three years. He re- ceived his B.A. degree from Wash- ington and Lee in 1892 and _ his LL.B. in 1895. When the University opened its dormitory for law. stu- dents in 1959, it was named in hon- or of Davis who had been a Trus- tee and University Rector. In the mid-1930’s, Jacksonville attorney Scott M. Loftin was ap- pointed to fill the unexpired term of Florida Senator Park Trammell who died unexpectedly. Senator Loftin, who attended Washington and Lee in 1898 and 1899 and re- ceived an honorary LL.D. degree from his Alma Mater in 1934, served in the U.S. Senate for five months. He was the _ fifty-eighth president of the ABA in 1934-35, a year before his Senate appointment. He died in 1953. When Ross L. Malone of Rose- well, New Mexico, was elected eigh- ty-second ABA president in 1958 he was the youngest man to be named to the office in 8o years. His Alma Mater honored him with an honorary LL.D. degree that year and students elected him a mem- ber of the Washington and Lee chapter of Omicron Delta Kappa. A frequent visitor to the campus, Powell enjoys a halftime break at Homecoming with good friend Cy Youne. He is a partner in the Rosewell firm of Atwood and Malone and a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers. He _ received his Bachelor of Laws _ degree Washington and Lee in 1932. According to a national news story on Powell’s election, the word “enthusiastic” comes up quite fre- from quently in conversations with the Richmond attorney. ‘This might well be a key word for the soft- spoken man whose activities range from coaching a Little League base- ball team in Richmond to dealing with major corporate and educa- tional problems throughout Vir- ginia. Beside being a ‘Trustee of Washington and Lee, he is a mem- ber of the board of trustees of Hol- fins. Collese and the Board of Education. Virginia President-elect designate Powell is a senior member of the firm of Hunton, Williams, Gay, Powell & Gibson and has practiced law in Richmond for over 30 years. In 1960, Washington and Lee award- ed him an honorary LL.D. degree. He earned both his B.S. and LL.B. degrees from the university and an LL.M. degree from Harvard Uni- versity. Hampden-Sydney College gave Powell a LL.D. degree in 1959. As president of the American Bar Association, Powell will have to take time from his busy law prac- tice and associations with a number of Virginia corporations and socie- ties for speeches and appearances throughout the U.S. He will head the seventeen-man Board of Gov- ernors of the association and will appoint the chairmen of all major ABA committees. ‘The ABA meets twice a year. President Cole Chosen Director of Library Resources Council @ PRESIDENT FRED C. COLE has been elected a member and a director of the Council on Library Resour- ces, Inc., an independent, non- profit body whose principal objec- tive is aiding in the solution of li- brary problems. President Cole also. serves as chairman of a committee of con- sultants preparing a report for the Ford Foundation relative to the needs of research libraries. 4 ‘The Council on Library Resour- ces was established in 1956 through a grant of five million dollars from the Ford Foundation. ‘The fund was to be expended over a five-year period “for the purpose of aiding in the solution of the problems of li- braries generally and of research libraries in particular, conducting research in, developing and demon- strating new techniques and meth- ods, and disseminating through any means the results thereof, and for making grants to other institutions and persons for such purposes; and for providing leadership in and, wherever appropriate, coordination of efforts (1) to develop the re- sources and services of libraries and (2) to improve relations between American and foreign libraries and archives. In 1960, the Council re- ceived a new grant of eight million dollars from the Ford Foundation. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE On Revolution an a Golden C WINTER, 1963 Dr. Caryl P. Haskins, Noted Scientist, Delivered the 1962 ODK Address; His Challenging Remarks Should Be of Interest To All ‘Thoughtful Alumni T IS A SPECIAL PRIVILEGE to be with you today, and I a particular honor that you should wish me to address Omicron Delta Kappa on so very significant an occasion. When I was told that I should have this opportunity, I thought that I would like to speak to you on two subjects. Att first sight, they may appear of more historical than current interest. Considered separately, they might seem a bit incongruous. But taken in conjunction, I believe that they form as deeply relevant and vital a concern for us, possibly, as any matter in our time. These questions that I want to explore—and admittedly in a very special sense— relate to revolution on the one hand, and on the other to the special qualities and characteristics of what men in all the eras of history have called a Golden Age. The special sense in which I want to 5 explore these subjects, as you will guess, is that of the intellect and of the spirit. Let me begin, then, with my second question. What is a Golden Age? What echoes of the Age of Penicles, of Renaissance Italy and the Low Countries and Scandinavia, of Elizabethan England, mark each as a flood tide in the vast, slow surge of human spirit- ual and intellectual development? Can such flood tides have meaning for our own time? It is interesting to notice some of the characteris- tics that these ages had in common. All were times of fervent intellectual excitement, when major new creations and new experiences and viewpoints were just coming to wide notice and were on the threshold of general experience. In all of them one can sense a vigorous address to new ideas—when opening vistas, half-seen, made ideas precious coin. All were eras of some physical security, and at least some political and organizational stability. But in all of them, too, stability and security were far from complete, and there is a flavor of partnership of creativeness and vitality with hazard and dishonor. None of them, clearly, were especially “comfortable” times in which to live, in the sense that static and secure environ- ments are comfortable. And yet men knew that they were living in great times. The adventurous in all these periods would probably have admitted—and perhaps have bitterly resented—the danger and the insecurity and the muddled opacity of their days. But if hard pressed, probably no one would have admitted a wish to be born in any other era. Typical Times of Revolution The Golden Ages, too, were typically times of revolution in general viewpoints of the world, and that on the very widest scale. Take, for example, Great Britain in the period of the Restoration. Even at our remove of three centuries, one can still sense something of the intensity and the high drama of a vast change in the whole outlook of a people on the natural world, wrought in only forty years in that so- ciety where the first of all scientific revolutions took place. It is hard at this distance, I think, to fully comprehend the consuming effects that the Age of Newton had upon British culture at large when its basic implications became truly realized. Between the early years of Queen Elizabeth I and of Charles II there clearly occurred in British society as a whole the most profound change in ways of looking at the world and at man. Donne and Dryden seem separated by far more than the half-century that historical chronology allots. For the post-Restoration writer, the scientific world seems to become the real world. The cosmic view of the Elizabethans, with its accompanying 6 habits of mind, all but disappears from English lit- erature afiter those fateful forty years. Can intellectual revolutions of such an order come again? And is the miracle of a Golden Age to which they have contributed so overwhelmingly in the great times of the past now only of historical significance, or can it, too, have contemporary import? It is hard for me to escape the belief that the an- swers to both these questions are affirmative. Indeed, it is hard for me to escape the further and more ex- treme conviction that in many ways we are living now in the midst of a similar period of revolution and may be at the inception—or perhaps even in the full tide—of a great and striking intellectual age quite comparable to earlier ones. Perhaps we ourselves are the restless, insecure, anxious, vital participants of an era of contemporary ferment that other men some- where, sometime, may well call Golden too. If we are in fact witnessing the earlier phases of another such period of turbulent change, when view- points shift rapidly and radically, serving in turn as the anvils for new ideas, we must expect it to differ in many respects from similar periods in the past. We cannot, for instance, hope to localize it geographically. Tihe interlocked character of the modern world, the growing similarity of all its cultures, the universality of its communication, must make meaningless any such designation as an Athenian or an Elizabethan Age. But possibly we can characterize it in terms of content, of the loci of thought with which it is es- pecially concerned. Prominent among such domains, of course, will inevitably be the realm of the natural sciences. This Golden Age, like those preceding it, will necessarily be deeply concerned with the practical aspects of the conquest of power from Nature and its use and control, and the worlds of applied science and technology, on a more breathtaking scale than ever before, will continue to be of critical importance in its shaping. Who has not been carried in reverie beyond his wildest earlier dreams by the prospects which the exploration of space offer to us? Who has not looked in wonder at a world of technolgy in which such physical improbabilities as the large-scale modi- fication of weather and the large-scale use of nuclear power must be reckoned as sober possibilities? In a somewhat different, but yet related, sector of human experience, emphasizing the sheer magnificence and intellectual penetration of the changing vistas of the universe which our age has already won and to the further enlargement of which it may look forward in the future, who has not been profoundly stirred to recall that what only a generation ago we thought to be the limits of the celestial universe today mark but the boundaries of one among millions of galaxies, THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Dr. Haskins 1s president of the Carnegie In- stitution of Washington, a position he has held since 1956. He ts a former research associate at Harvard and MIT and a former research chem- ist for the General Electric Company. From 1937 to 1955, he was research professor in biophysics at Union College, and he formerly served as pres- ident and research director of Haskins Labora- tories, Inc., and as president of National Photo- color Corporation. Dr. Haskins is a graduate of Yale, and holds a Ph.D. degree from Harvard. He is currently a consultant to President Kennedy’s Science Advisory Committee, on which he served a three-year term. The Carnegie Institution, established in 1902, is engaged in research activities in the physical and biological sciences. One of its major func- tions is the operation of Mount Wilson and Palo- mar Observatories in cooperation with the Cal- ifornia Institute of Technology. millions of stellar universes lacing the heavens? Let me pause for a moment here to recount to you a dis- covery in astronomy of the year just past which in the staggering distances with which it deals emphasizes anew what a thin terrestrial shell is the outer space so far entered by man. Shortly after the second world war, when instruments of radio detection were being put to a new use in the service of astronomy, several surveys of the skies were undertaken to detect and lo- cate the positions of celestial bodies that were emitters of radio waves. The equipment then available, how- ever, was relatively poor in resolution and in accuracy. But at the radio observatory of the Cavendish Labora- tory in Cambridge and at the observatory of the Cali- fornia Institute of ‘Technology at Bishop in the Owens Valley, instruments of outstanding capacity have re- cently been completed, and during 1959 and 1960 fresh surveys of the sky were undertaken with them. In the course of ithese surveys, the celestial position of a new and powerful emitter of radio waves was de- termined so precisely that it was possible to bring the 200-inch optical Hale telescope on Palomar Mountain to bear upon it. And so it happened that an astron- omer of the Mount Wilson and Palomar Observa- tories was able to obtain two spectra of visible light from this source, and to measure the redshift in them— a herculean technical achievement. The redshift cor- responded to a calculated velocity of recession for the object of nearly thalf the speed of light. The object thus marks by far the most searching probe into the unplumbed depths of space that the mind and hand of man have so far accomplished, ranging certainly to the order of four or five billion light years. And when you recall that a single light year amounts to almost WINTER, 1963 six million million miles—about sixty-three thousand times the distance of our own world from the sun—it makes the orbits of earth satellites, spectacular as they are, yet appear as comparatively near-neighborhood adventures. But I have wandered from my subject a bit. If another and striking mark of the Golden Ages has al- ways been the partnership that they have known of vitality with anxiety and turbulence, then our own times must superbly qualify as a Golden Age in that respect too. ‘There are of course the all-too-obvious dangers of nuclear war of which we are almost daily reminded; the ever-present dangers of international power conflict on an unprecedented scale in which we might need our every resource to hold our own; the imponderables of modernized and modernly armed and implacable great Asiatic powers. Subtler factors, nearer to home, are so less difficult: above all, perhaps, the severe threat to tolerance that our contemporary world imposes. It has been well said that the power to inspire men with tolerances faces its most acid test in a world of more than one competing great intol- erance. And the world of competing great intolerances is the one in which we live. Characteristic of Great Ages These are tremendous challenges. But such deep and severe challenges have always characterized the great ages. For nations as for men, indeed, those peri- ods of severe stress and profound change and radical readjustment which have always conferred their deep- est meaning upon past Golden Ages demand again today, as they have always demanded, far more than i simple endurances; far more than mere talent in sur- vival. Yet hazard has never been their primary qual- ity. Met with boldness and audacity, with dedication and with balance, with independence of mind and spirit, with sensitive understanding, these have also always been the times of unmatched range for new orders of growth and realization. Such, I believe, are the times today. Such, I am sure, they will be even more tomorrow, when, I am convinced, new reaches of understanding will await our occupancy. And so I come to my second and associated sub- ject, the question of revolution. By this, as you will ODK member DON PARTINGTON taps a new initiate for member- ship in the distinguished national leadership society. understand, I mean that grand revolution in our ways of looking at the world, akin to the revolution of vis- ion in the age of Newton, which is such a characteris- tic feature of a Golden Age. Today I believe that a revolution in ‘the life of the mind of comparable depth and universality is full upon us—a revolution which iin its power and its scope, indeed, vividly recalls the explosive qualities of Copernican times. For the remainder of my talk, I want to speak about some phases of that contemporary revolution. If you will permit me, I shall draw my illustrations not only from contemporary scientific discovery, but from the special realm of the life sciences, which are my own particu- lar interest. The intellectual magnitude of the Newtonian revo- lution is commonplace today. Yet it is easy to forget how completely extraordinary it was. ‘“Truth” in scien- tific observation had been largely defined as the success with which an observer’s impressions of the world could be selected and organized about accepted images. It was no less than a titantic achievement to reach the view that experimental investigation might de- termine man’s concepts of the world—a_ resolution vividly symbolized, in the sensitive image of Lewis Mumford, by the introduction into man’s homes of clear glass, replacing the great stained windows of Medieval architecture. 8 By the later seventeenth century a structure of cause and effect had been defined which, as Newton warned, should be “kept free of occult influences.” Three centuries of intellectual advance were to be built around this profound revolution of viewpoint in which, from the days of Newton and Descartes and Hobbes, notions of cause and effect were to play a central role. Now, I believe, we are living through a comparably tremendous shift in scientific philosophy. As in the older revolution, it is based on changes in fundamental concepts—perhaps the most radical and profound changes that have taken place in the last three hundred years. As in Newton’s time, this revo- lution was set off by great and liberating new ideas— in our case by a new awareness of two revolutionary views of the natural world that already have come to permeate our lives—the notions of relativity and of uncertainty. Central in this contemporary revolution have been new concepts of the phenomenon of Chance which, as Bronowski has pointed out, may ultimately provide as great a unifying principle for the diverse branches of science as did the concept of Causality in the days of Descartes and Hobbes. Dominant in it are concepts of conditional probability which color much of our contemporary thinking about the nature of life processes, and may well give to the investiga- tion of living systems tools of comparable power to those that were fashioned for attack upon the physical world in Newton’s day. The study of living systems, indeed, presents today a major challenge to the widening of our concepts. For living things in general have several unique qual- ities in all the world. ‘They alone, within their own substance, can reverse the thermodynamic trends of the lifeless universe, building toward an_ increase rather than a decrease of order. The ages of a living system, its youth, its maturity, its decay, give us a unique temporal representation of the world. And life alone among the elements of our natural world can serve as a predictor system. The genes in the evening moth that determine its behavior, assuring that it will fly only during the hours of outer darkness even though it be itself kept in the dark all day long, are acting as predictors. Our own intellects surely behave in part as predictors of a much more rapid kind, seiz- ing on stereotypes from the environment, construct- ing matching systems with internally derived and formulated concepts, forever comparing our outer with our inner world and thereby, in a universe filled with redundancies, predicting immediate and remoter con- sequences. Let me digress again for a moment, if I may, to il- lustrate the scope and the universality of biological ex- ploration in the last year or two, as I did a few mo- ments ago for contemporary astronomy. It would be THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE hard to imagine a more fundamental or sweeping dis- covery than one elucidating, at the level of molecular structure, the manner in which the information gOv- erning all our inherited qualities of body and mind can be recorded and stored in the chromosomes of our bodies—recorded and stored with such effectiveness and such enduring stability that there are organisms alive today whose heredity has been maintained more faithfully and more lastingly through the eons of their existence as a species or a genus than the very rocks where fossils of their remote ancestors are pre- served. In 1953 J. D. Watson and F. H. C. Crick, working in the British Medical Research Unit adjacent to the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, announced the brilliant hypothesis that the unit of heredity, the mole- cule of deoxyribonucleic acid, consisted of 1a pair of “ribbons” wound in the form of a double helix and linked by four characteristic organic bases, two purine, two pryimidine, paired in highly specific fashions. We have been freshly reminded of that tremendous insight of a decade ago by the award of the Nobel prize in medicine and physiology to Wilkins and Crick and Watson this year, signalizing the magnitude of their discovery. It was in the following year, 1954, that the astrophysicist Gamow made the radical suggestion that genetic information might actually be ‘‘coded” on the deoxyribonucleic acid molecule in a linear message for which the four possible combinations of linking bases could serve as alphabet—in a manner reminiscent of the coding of a message on the punched tape of a computer, or of a message in Morse code. Al- though the precise form of the code which Gamow suggested has since ‘proved incorrect, the basic idea has been established as another of the great theoretical advances in our view of the living world. And so was posed a pointed question: if such a code exists, what is its nature? Over the last two years, theoretical and experi- mental work in biophysics and biochemistry have done much to answer that question. Suffice it to say today that it is now clear that the code operates by specify- ing the order of amino acids, those building blocks of the proteins, in the construction of the protein it- self, and thiat it contains very few discrete symbols— almost certainly not more than three, possibly only two. Within this last year a new advance has provided what may well be a Rosetta Stone for the code. It has been found that artificially manufactured deoxyri- bonucleic acid, containing known sequences of the coding bases, can be made to direct the formation of proteins in cell-free synthesis, and these proteins can then be analyzed. It is claimed, now, that the “code letters” for nineteen out of the twenty amino acids are in sight. WINTER, 1963 The structural capacity of this remarkable system for recording heredity is tremendous. A virus may in- clude within the single chromosome that it possesses a hundred thousand of the code “letters.” A billion such “‘letters’” may be included within our own store of genetic information. It is a startling thought that if the strands of deoxyribonucleic acid from all the cells in a single one of us were uncoiled and joined, their combined length might reach across the solar system. After this momentary excursion on one dramatic and current frontier of modern biology, let me return to my main theme. In a broader sense, living systems are surely beckoning us to the next very general step in the widening range of our world which can be brought within the scientific view. It is likely to be a radical step. For when we deal with life as a whole, we are dealing with self-organizing and goal-seeking systems in the psychological sense, and this is a new kind of scientific experience. In a living system, every- thing that occurs in that system alters the pattern of probabilities against which a new event must occur, so that the whole range of allegedly “chance’’ events happening to the organism, within it and without, form in fact a closely woven nexus, linking its past Among 1962 ODK initiates were Dr. Haskins, right, and alumni Joun H. Harpwick, °31, center, and ALLEN Harris, JR., ’27. history and its future prospects in a most complex and usually in an irreversible fashion. The revolution which this idea implies is more striking than may at first appear. How radical it is can be vividly demonstrated by posing the whole question of the working mechanisms of the processes of evo- lution. Many fine minds, trained in another genera- tion, when confronted with the question: “How could a microcosm, over the eons, have become trans- formed into a Shakespeare?’’, will answer: “Regardless of how many millions of generations one has to work with, regardless of how rigid selection may have been, regardless of how many creatures may have perished 9 in the advance, regardless of how enormous the time- span involved, it is still not possible for me to see how, by a succession of purely chance events, such a develop- ment could have occurred.” The time is coming, how- ever, when I believe that we will no longer consider such an answer a meaningful approach to that ques- tion. Rather we will say: “At no stage of the process does one have to imagine that the development was random in the pure sense that we once thought.’’ Each event within the organism must change the pattern of probabrlities for the next event, and these conse- quences iare built into intricate, forwardly directed chains. By the same token, the further a living system has moved along such a chain, the more elaborate the field of interlocked probabilities to which it has be- come committed, and—as in our own individual lives— the slimmer becomes the chance that anything can be precisely duplicated, or repeated, or re-lived. Underlying All Living Systems The more one reflects on this notion of conditional probability, the more vividly is its sweep brought home. For it seems to underly all living systems which are, per se, self-organizing and goal-seeking. Not long ago I had the privilege of attending a scientific meet- ing held at the British National Physical Laboratory at ‘Teddington, near London. Since then, I have at- tended several similar meetings in this country. They have been the most exciting scientific events, I think, that I have experienced in the last decade. For they have been devoted to ithe idea that machines may be devised which not only can perform calculations and other such special functions far beyond the power of the human mind, as computers do now, but which may also generate new ideas—which, indeed, might actual- ly evolve concepts going beyond the imagination of their builders. ‘The basic objective of such research, of course, is not to design “thinking machines” as that term is commonly used. That development has al- ready achieved stupendous proportions, here and abroad. Rather it is to conceive relatively simple mechanical analogues of the goal-seeking system that is simple life or the simple brain itself, in an attempt, through the evolution of such crude models, to under- stand more about the dynamic properties of life and mind. And already circuits have been imagined—and built—which in their performance suggestively re- semble some of ithe more elementary aspects of in- stinctive animal behavior of which such great con- temporary naturalists as Von Frisch, Lorenz, and Tin- bergen have given us so many fascinating glimpses in real life in recent years. Research of this kind, and the concepts under- 10 lying it, are surely at a crude and tentative stage at present. Yet they are past the point of universal skep- ticism. ‘They are gaining added converts at an in- creasing rate. And from the standpoint of their revo- lutionary character the most important thing about them is that they are directed at a very broad sector of our world, and a sector which, for the most part, has not been very accessible to scientific scrutiny in the past. Dynamic, goal-directed, self-organizing sys- tems include the viruses and the single cells. ‘They in- clude the world of many celled plants and animals, and the body and the brain of man. And they also in- clude populations and societies of living things—and who knows, perhaps one day societies of man himself. A Setting Aside of Barriers Revolutions in concept of this kind and the further prospects which they imply constantly impress upon me how much, over the years, barriers of attitude, of values, of ways of thinking and modes of attack which since the time of Newton have traditionally segregated the concerns of science, are, in the larger philosophic sense, being set aside. It seems quite conceivable that, as the years go by, our notions about the distinctness of the domain and the concerns of science from those of the rest of the world may so blur and fade that eventually we may be startled to recall that once we saw them there at all. If such an evolution takes place, it will come about, not by one view of the world replacing or setting aside another, but rather by a convergence on common in- terests and a common kingdom. When that happens, our universe will surely once again, as has happened so often in the history of mankind, have broadened and deepened and to some extent may have changed its character. Yet it will surely be for us primarily an extension of the philosophic universe that we earlier knew, not fundamentally altered in its older aspects, but now with novel and yet vaster dimensions, now ex- plored and dissected with more powerful, more versa- tile, more penetrating tools. ‘This is but one evidence of the profound intellect- ual revolution that is, I think, an integral characteris- tic of our time—an integral element of a period in history which I truly believe will one day merit—and may one day achieve the title of a Golden Age as truly as did any of its predecessors. It is only a sample, though I believe a representative one. But the pros- pect of the realization of even one such development offers, I think, an enthralling prospect, and one not unlikely. If its promise, like other promises of our Age, is realized, you will have been the agents of its suc- cess, and you will be the witnesses of its fulfillment. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE “MEET THE PROFESSOR’ OME THREE million television S viewers across the nation had an Opportunity to meet an _ out- standing young Washington and Lee professor early in December when Dr. Charles F. Phillips, Jk. appeared on the American Broad- casting Company’s “Meet the Pro- fessor’ network telecast. Appearing with Dr. Phillips on the half-hour program were six Washington and Lee students who accompanied the 28-year-old assist- ant professor of economics to New York for studio taping of simulated Washington and Lee classroom scenes. For both professor and students, it was a unique and exciting experi- WINTER, 1963 Washington and Lee’s Dr. Charles F. Phillips, Jr., And Six Seniors Appear on a Nationwide Telecast That Emphasizes the Importance of College Teaching ence, a chance for a look behind the scenes of television production, and an opportunity to contribute to- ward the American public’s better understanding of the role of the professor in higher education. “Meet the Professor” is currently in its third year on national televis- ion. The American Broadcasting Company TV network produces the series in cooperation with the Association for Higher Education, a division of the National Educa- tron Association. Seen in most areas over ABC affiliates at 1:30 on Sunday afternoons, the program has drawn a modest national viewing audience, but the quality of pro- duction and its important purpose have won critical approval. In 1961- 62, “Meet the Professor’ was the recipient of the School Bell Award for “distinguished interpretation of education.” The program attempts to show the college teacher’s vital work in teaching, research, and public ser- vice; to develop interest in college teaching as a career by showing the opportunities and satisfactions of the profession; and to portray the professor as a stimulator and ex- emplifier of inquiry and creativity. The program tries to suggest the complex of resources which the pro- fessor and his students use and re- quire, and it seeks ito establish the professor as a vital and contempo- 11 rary person in the context of his work on the campus, the commun- ity, and society in general. As the 48th professor to appear on the program since its start three years ago, Dr. Phillips became the first faculty member of a Virginia college to be picked for the distine- tive honor. Early in November, the show’s producers invited Washington and Lee to nominate three or four pro- fessors who might be considered as possible participants in the pro- gram. ‘The executive committee of the faculty was requested by the University to select Washington and Lee’s nominees. When three professors had been named, and they had agreed to possible partict- pation, network — representatives and a representative of the Asso- ciation for Higher Education came to Lexington to interview the nom- inees. On the basis of this interview and special consideration of the professors’ teaching fields, Dr. Phil- lips emerged as ‘the producers’ choice. Only one economist had been featured previously on the program. Dr. Phillips was asked to select six of his students to take part in the seminar and classroom scenes of the proposed program. The gen- eral format of the program would show Dr. Phillips leading a seminar discussion among the six students, then conferring with an individual student on a matter reflecting Phil- lips’ role as a fraternity chapter faculty adviser, then talking by tele- phone with a New York firm he serves aS an economic consultant, and finally as a classroom lecturer before some twelve or fifteen stu- dents. The general idea was to show Dr. Phillips’ varied activities, all of A Washington and Lee econom- ics seminar in progress under the I'V camera’s eye and the Kleig light’s glare. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE which tend to make his influence upon students felt in many ways. The script was written by ABC staff writer Ira Marion, but was ex- tensively revised by Dr. Phillips so that he could “feel at home” with the content and choice of words. From his Washington and Lee classes, Dr. Phillips chose six stu- dents well qualified to carry on an extensive discussion on “‘corporate responsibility” during the seminar scene. ‘Che students, all seniors, in- cluded Daniel F. Boyles, an eco- nomics major from Houston; Ed- ward L. Burdell, a history major from Cincinnati; Daniel R. Cole, an economics major from Washing- ton, D. C.; Charles T. McCord ITI, a business administration major from Shreveport; Anthony D. Schlesinger, a business administra- tion major from Dallas; and John C. ‘Thurmond, an interdepartment- al major in business administration and pre-engineering from Shreve- port. McCord appeared in the fratern- ity discussion with Dr. Phillips. His choice was particularly appropriate since he is actually president of the Beta ‘Theta Pi chapter that Dr. Phillips serves as faculty adviser. ‘To fill out the classroom scene, ABC brought in another half doz- en students from nearby Rutgers University. The class discussion dealt with anti-trust legislation, one of Dr. Phillips’ special fields in economics. When the Washington and Lee group got to New York, they found that the program’s director, Rob- ert Delaney, planned no rehearsal of the seminar, classroom, or other scenes, except for a brief “blocking out” of the movements from one set to another. The idea was for the Dr. PHILLIPS and senior CHARLES McCorp — receive — instructions from the assistant director dur- ing a “run through.” WINTER, 1963 scenes to be completely fresh and unrehearsed, with discussion follow- ing its own course. Dr. Phillips and his students had agreed in advance about the subject matter for the seminar and class- room scenes, and in the seminar se- quence, it was agreed which stu- dents would speak to certain points. ‘The scene that viewers saw was es- sentially a bona fide Washington and Lee economics seminar in ac- tion. The recording of the program on video tape went off without a hitch. A sound effects man missed his cue on a simulated ringing of the bell in Washington Hall, and Dr. Phil- lips was nearly late in getting from his office set to the classroom scene, but otherwise all went smoothly. After the program was complete, Dr. Phillips and his young col- leagues witnessed a playback on a studio monitor, a preview of the show they would watch back in Lexington three days later. What the program’s three mil- lion viewers saw on December 9g was a brief profile of an energetic young professor who is an accom- plished teacher and a recognized scholar in the fields of government regulation of public utilities and in merger policies of the past thirteen years affecting the transportation and communications industries. He has written numerous articles for economics journals, and his book on Competition in the Synthetic Rubber Industry is scheduled for publication in May by the Univer- sity of North Carolina Press. He is currently at work on a textbook on Regulated Industries: Theory and Practice for the Irwin series in eco- nomics. He is also a consultant to the American ‘Telephone and Tele- graph Company. Besides serving as an adviser to a social fraternity, Dr. Phillips is faculty adviser to the Student War Memorial Scholarship Fund Com- mittee, the Student Dance Board, and the Young Republicans Club. He has been a member of the Uni- versity faculty since 1959. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of New Hampshire, Dr. Phillips received his Ph.D. de- gree from Harvard in 1960. His father, Charles F. Phillips, Sr., is president of Bates College, Lewis- ton, Maine, and an outstanding economist. Dr. Phillips’ appearance on “Meet the Professor’ helped dem- onstrate to many Americans the high quality of instruction and guidance which Washington and Lee faculty members offer in the education of Washington and Lee University men. For Dr. Phillips, for Washington and Lee, and for higher education in general, it was a “good show.” *3 Washington and Lee’s Contribution To the Nation’s ‘‘Sound Diplomacy” Paul M. Miller, Jr., 938, Writes Of the Important Role Played By the University’s Graduates In the State Department and Foreign Service; ‘Three Alumni Now Hold Appointments As Ambassadors ITHIN one week in January W 1963 Washington and Lee University was twice honored by President Kennedy’s appointing its graduates as new Ambassadors to countries in Africa. ‘This brings to twenty-six the total of alumni and “ormer faculty members of the Tn:- versity known to be holding posi- tions of major responsibility in the Department of State and U.S. For- eign Service, as well as in other fed- eral goverment agencies that par- ticipate in the field of foreign af- fairs. Three of this group are now serv- ing their country as Ambassadors. The dean of them is Philip D. Sprouse, B.A. ’28, who is currently Ambassador to Cambodia and holds the rank of Career Minister in the Foreign Service.

He held this posi- tion until his appointment on July 5, 1962, as Ambassador to Cam- bodia. Two other Washington and Lee alumni are Ambassador Designates. President Kennedy on January 10, 1963, announced his intention to PauL M. MILLer, Jr. appoint Charles Dudley Withers, B.S. ’37, as Ambassador to Rwanda, the former Belgian mandate along- side Lake Victoria, and on January 25, 1963, to appoint Edward M. Korry, B.A. ’42, as Ambassador to Ethiopia. Mr. Withers, a career Foreign Service Officer, will be the first U.S. Ambassador to newly independent Rwanda. A native of South Caro- lina, Mr. Withers entered the For- eign Service in 1943, and after serv- ice in Africa, India and Pakistan, was sent to ithe Imperial Defence College in London in 1960. Then in 1962 he, too, was named a For- eign Service Inspector and is con- tinuing in that capacity pending confirmation of his appointment as Ambassador by the Senate. Mr. Korry, a native of New York, was named Manager of Special Pro- jects and Assistant to the President of Cowles Magazine and Broadcast- ing, Inc., in 1960, a position which THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE ye The “diplomatic” entrance to the De- partment of State building in) Wash- ington, D.C. he held until his government ap- pointment, which is also awaiting confirmation by the Senate. Mr. Korry has been an overseas corres- pondent for American publications since World War II, serving in England, France, Yugoslavia and India. Mr. Korry played a promi- nent role in setting up a relief pro- gram for Greek Children and also helped start the refugee program in Hong Kong. During the past year he was engaged as consultant to Under Secretary of State and WINTER, 1962 served as a public member on one of the Foreign Service selection boards. In addition to the three ambas- sadors already named, there are nine other Washington and Lee alumni serving in the Department of State or with its Foreign Serv- ice. In the Department of State there is Henry E. Allen, B.S. ’34, who is Foreign Affairs Officer in the Office of International Conferences. Mr. Allen has served in Mexico and received the Department’s su- perior service award in 1960. Serving with the Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Re- search are two Washington and Lee graduates. Richard M. Herndon, B.A. °41, a career Foreign Service Officer, has become a Japanese lan- guage specialist after several years of service in that country. Mr. Herndon is with the Bureau’s Of- fice of Research and Analysis for Far East. Richard K.

There have been two consecu- tive Fancy Dress Balls held in Ev- ans Dining Hall, so now it seems traditional to hold the fancy part of Fancy Dress in this beautiful but somewhat complicated setting. It isn’t complicated for the stu- dent decorators for Fancy Dress. Any attempt to decorate Evans Hall is closely akin to gilding the lily, for the columned and chande- liered interior is spectacularly hand- some, even when the feature at- traction is hashed brown potatoes. 18 So the decorating job there is minor, compared with the major overhaul that Doremus Gymnasium requires. It is complicated for D. E. “Pat” Brady, Jr., the University’s super- intendent of buildings and grounds. The tables and captains’ chairs normally in use in the dining hall must be removed from the building to make room for the dancing and figure-watching. Space-saving fold- ing chairs must be brought in, then removed after the figure is over, and the permanent furniture re- turned from storage after the ball ends. It’s a big job that Mr. Brady’s men handle relatively smoothly. It gets really difficult when it snows during the moving operation, as it has for the past two years. It’s. complicated, too, for the Dance Board and the Social Func- tions Committee. Evans Hall just doesn’t hold as many people as Doremus Gym. Students no longer can have rock ‘n roll combos while the University dances are in session, so there isn’t much to do but go to the dance. As a result, ‘‘costume’’ sales have soared these past two years. And, going to Fancy Dress in THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Evans Dining Hall 7s more elegant than going to Fancy Dress in the gym, so the local gentry and others show considerably more _ interest. The snow that bothers Mr. Brady helps the dance planners, however. In both years, not as many came as were supposed to come, so the overcrowded conditions that seem inevitable have not really material- ized. Except in the chaperone box. Here, again, the planners have a problem. ‘The prime vantage point in Evans Hall is a rather narrow balcony extending the width of the main hall. Those who sit in the front row can see everything. Those who sit in the second row can see the people in the first row and the other end of the room. Those who sit in the third row can see the people in the second row. It’s hard to get everyone who belongs in the first row into the first row. Traffic across the balcony gets unusually heavy when the figure participants troop up to greet the President, Deans and other distinguished guests. ‘Theme for the 1963 Fancy Dress Ball was the Civil War Centennial. Evans Hall was supposed to be the Custis-Lee Mansion in Arlington where General Lee was entertaining the military commanders and the civilian statesmen of the newly re- united nation. Count Basie and his orchestra were supposed to play for the figure and the ball, but they were delayed by snow and _ icy roads. Stan Rubin and his ‘Tiger- town Five, who were supposed to be on hand for a Dixieland jam ses- sion at midnight, arrived early and filled in admirably.

For the second time in five years, Robert E. Lee led the figure, al- though this time he didn’t have a beard. And the figure was a real figure this year. Besides just walk- ing out, the dance officers and fra- ternity presidents and their dates helped form an American flag with the help of unfurled paper stream- ers. It came off pretty well, al- though few other than those in the first row of the balcony could tell what was going on. To help cut down on the ex- pense of Fancy Dress, only the boys were required to rent costumes this year. Girls were encouraged to wear long dresses. Some did and some didn’t; the few ladies in relatively authentic attire looked wonderful in their hooped skirts and puffed sleeves. The girls dressed in slim sheaths or short cocktail frocks were pretty but somehow out of place in a Civil War Setting. It all added up to a semi-Fancy Dress. Some folks look for still further changes in the pattern of Fancy Dress. ‘here was no souvenir print- ed program this year, and the trend. toward economies in costume ren- tals may eventually eliminate cos- tumes altogether. Student social at- titudes change, and Fancy Dress it- self has a record of change. After all, they used to hold it up- stairs at McCrum’s Drug Store. "9 News of the University Student Group Sponsors Annual Service Award Honoring Dean Gilliam N ANNUAL award honoring Dean A of Admissions Frank J. Gil- liam has been established for stu- dents at Washington and Lee Unt- versity by the student government officers. ‘The Frank J. Award, designed to recognize an- Dean Gilliam nually the outstanding contribu- tions to the University of a selected student, will carry a $100 stipend. Another $150 will be available for the recipient to designate for use by an organization or academic de- partment of the University. ‘The award will be financed by the Stu- dent Body Fund which is supported by the University’s student activi- ties fees. Dean Gilliam first came to the University in 1926 as a member of the English faculty. He became Dean of Students in 1931 and served concurrently as Dean of Stu- dents and Director of Admissions for a number of years. In February of 1962 he began to devote his full time efforts to the University’s ad- missions program as Dean of Ad- missions. ‘Through the years he has earned the respect and admiration of generations of students for his devotion to student affairs. He is a former director of edu- cation for the American Presbyter- ian Congo Mission in the Belgian Congo. 20 Dean Gilliam founded the Unt- versity’s Freshman Camp _— and served as the camp’s director from 1928 to 1956. The Gilliam award winner will be selected in early Spring each year by members of the student gov- ernment Executive Committee and the award will be made during a student body assembly.

Lee in a special Founders’ Day Assembly January 1g and university activi- ties were suspended in honor of George Washington on his_ birth- day, February 22. In his annual Founders’ Day ad- dress, President Cole reassured the students and faculty that the Uni- versity “is in relatively good shape,” but he added that “In no sense do I suggest that all problems at this University are being met with sat- isfactory solutions. If the day ever comes when we are satisfied with our situation, we will no longer be an educational institution. We are educated and we educate ourselves for change and progress.” President Cole mentioned an ar- ticle that he read recently which de- clared that “Young people of to- day have an uncertain future.” DEAN FRANK J. GILLIAM inlerviews a pros- peclive Washington and Lee man. “When was there a time when young people—and the old, too, un- less they were dying after a life of purposeful sin—had had a future the ’ that could be called ‘certain’?’ president asked. He cited the difficult period after the Civil War when General Lee, as president of Washington College, helped to rebuild the war-torn South. “Lee—perhaps of all South- erners the one with greatest cause for despair and discouragement— did not lose faith, not in his God, not in himself, and not in his fel- low men,” President Cole said. “‘If the future was uncertain for the young college men who were at- tracted to this campus by his pres- ence, Lee purposed to make it a future of promise and hope, not of gloom and. pessimism. “So, when I read of uncertainty in this day, and when this uncer- tainty 1s projected on a global scale, I find it worthwhile to reflect on the Reconstruction era and other difcuty. “The probems we face...are very real, similar times of but many others before us have faced real problems and have over- come them. Despite the uncertainty of the future, which we shall nev- THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE er escape and should never wish to escape, I think there are reasons for confidence in our abilities to con- front and deal with it.” @ THREE OF AMERICA’S most distin- poets—Richard Eberhart, Robert Lowell, and Howard Nem- crov—participated in a_ series of euished readings and lectures in late No- vember and early December.

Despite a 19-8 loss to powerful Virginia in the season’s final match, Coach Dick Miller labeled his soph- omore dominated squad as the best he had had in nine years as varsity coach. ‘Two second-year men were the outstanding performers. Pete Win- 24 field’s only loss came in the U.Va. match by a 2-1 score, while Tom Stover’s sole loss was at Franklin & Marshall, the only other team to defeat the Generals. Winfield wrest- led usually at 167, with Stover a regular at 137. Among the Generals’ victims were Duke, N.C. State, and West Virginia. Since 1922, W&L has com- piled a record of 195 victories, 95 losses, and six ties on the wrestling mats, one of the best sports records in the University. Norris Eastman’s swim- mers faced a rugged schedule with good balance and a few outstand- ing performers. The result was a highly creditable 7-5 season slate. In basketball, the Generals got off to a slow start and then reduced the pace. Illness, injuries, and aca- demic problems were a season long headache for Coach Bob McHenry. The highlight was a well-deserved victory over a good Hampden-Syd- ney squad at Doremus. The final count was 5-14 for the season. Coach THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Anniversary Class Reunions Are Scheduled for May 3-5 Weekend ‘Tucker Lectures and Law Day Will Be Held Simultaneously With Reunions; Classes Coming Back Include 1913, 1923, 1938, 1953 N view of the highly successful L combination of Anniversary Class reunions and the John Ran- dolph ‘Tucker Law Lectures last year, a repeat performance has been called for this spring. This occasion enjoys the reputation among alum- ni of being one of the most enjoy- able and worthwhile weekends of the college year. Members of the anniversary class- es will be interested in the enter- taining program which is_ being prepared. Preliminary outlines of the program will be mailed to re- union classes shortly. It is most important that class members com- plete the “reservation” card imme- diately. As soon as possible after these cards are returned, a list of those who plan to attend will be prepared and mailed to reunion class members. ‘Thus they can, by corresponding with one another, plan to get together for the trip back to Lexington. The program will get underway Friday, May 3, with registration at 2:00 p.m. followed in the late after- noon by a reception. That night the speaker for the first tucker Lecture will be the Honorable Colgate Dar- den, former governor of Virginia WINTER, 1963 and former president of the Univer- sity of Virginia. All reunion classes, both academic and law, are cordi- ally invited to attend. Saturday’s program will feature a review by the University’s administration of new developments on the campus. ‘The second ‘Tucker lecture by Mr. Darden will be heard at noon, and the Law School Association will hold its annual meeting at 3:00 p-m. The day will conclude with individual class banquets and a combined Reunion party. ‘The pro- gram will be complete but not so full as to prohibit alumni from visiting local friends and_ places, looking in on fraternities and just plain browsing. Enjoyment, not a “stop-watch” schedule, is the im- portant feature of the day. Alumni are urged to keep in mind that hotel and motel space has been block reserved. Reserva- tions must be made through the Alumni Office. Requests for reser- vation cards will be mailed about April ist and the deadline on res- ervations is April 25. ‘There will be no guarantee of accommodations after this date. Reunion classes will be lodged, as classes, in different hotels or motels. Unless an alum- nus makes a special request, he will automatically be lodged with his class. The headquarters and _ lodg- ings for the classes are as follows: The 50th Anniversary Class of 1913—Mayflower Inn; The 4oth Anniversary Class of 1923—May- flower Inn; The 25th Anniversary Class of 1938—The Robert E. Lee Hotel; and The 1oth Anniversary Class of 1963—The Lexington Mo- tel. Upon arrival in Lexington, re- union alumni will check in first at the appropriate hotel. Here they will find a complete program and instructions. ‘The next step is to register at the Student Union Building to let the reunion com- mittee know who is in town. There are no plans for the supper meal that night. Some alumni may want to get with a group of classmates for a dinner party and then proceed to the ‘Tucker Lecture. The ladies are especially invited to attend all events. Dress will be informal. Watch closely now for all mailings and take prompt ac- tion. ‘The entire University family is looking forward eagerly to an- other reunion weekend. Plan now to be on hand! A SYMBOL Of support and grati- tude. ‘That is what your Alumni Asso- ciation hopes the Lee Chapel nail will mean to you—a symbol of your support of Washington and Lee University’s important place in our nation’s program of higher education, and a symbol of the as- sociation’s gratitude, and that of the University, for your part in making possible Washington and Lee’s continued and progress. Many good things happen when you give to the Alumni Fund. Your eift, along with thousands of others, helps the University achieve spe- cific goals, for Alumni Fund dollars are active, working dollars. Your gift also helps strengthen the con- cept of the independent, privately controlled institution, more spe- cifically the relatively small liberal arts college, an important part of America’s highly diversified system of higher education. Washington and Lee exists to- day because it has demonstrated that the advantages it offers to young men have marked effects upon their successful careers. When impressive 26 you, as one who has shared the ex- perience of college education at Washington and Lee, express your confidence in the future of such ed- ucation through your gift to the Alumni Fund, your giving has far- reaching effects. The response to the Alumni Fund appeal for 1962-63 is, at once, both heartening and discouraging. ‘The heartening news is the level of giving that the current campaign has evoked. As the magazine goes to press, contributions have totaled $78,000, or approximately 68 per cent of the announced goal of $115,000. ‘The discouraging aspect of the fund drive is that this im- pressive giving has involved only 1,840 individual contributors, only one in six of the University’s some 10,000 active alumni. The Alumni Fund Council has placed special emphasis this year on full participation in the Fund by all alumni. The goal is ambitious, but it could be achieved, if every alumnus who values his association with Washington and Lee were to consider the continuing relation- ship of University and alumnus. The University has a responsibil- Alumni Fund Report A Symbol Of Your Alumni Support ity to you to maintain and improve an already distinguished education- al program. You have a responsi- bility to the University and to your- self to be an active participant in this progress. This year, everyone who sup- ports the University through the Alumni Fund will receive a hand- forged nail used in the original construction of Lee Chapel in 1867. A supply of these nails became available during the _ restoration work now in progress at the Chap- el. The nail will be embedded in clear lucite, mounted on a small stand for use as a desk or shelf orna- ment. It will carry no mention of the Alumni Fund, but small letter- ing will identify its source. It is a memento that every Washington and Lee alumnus should treasure. When you have your nail, the Alumni Fund Council hopes that you will reflect on it often, remem- bering that you, like the nail, have had a part in the building of an in- stitution that is worthwhile and en- during. You will be reminded, too, of the gratitude that is yours from your University, its faculty, and its students.

An alumnus can contribute to this progress in few more important ways than nominating and support- ing for election outstanding, capa- ble men for the Alumni Board of ‘Trustees. he continued enthusias- tic interest of the membership in the make-up of the Alumni Board and the effectiveness of its opera- tions is one of the most powerful in- fluences that alumni can exert for the benefit of Washington and Lee. This interest is yours! Your di- rect participation in the democrat- ic process of selecting leaders is essential if the purposes of the as- sociation are to be fulfilled useful- ly and meaningfully. In the general mecting of the Alumni Association in June, 1961, the Board of ‘Trustees presented a proposal to amend the By-Laws to 28 increase the board’s membership from seven to twelve. ‘The proposal was unanimously approved. The change makes possible a more widspread representation, not only along geographic lines, but by class age as well. It makes possible, also, the association’s more effective use of the talents and ex- perience of its members. The one dozen men who make up the board share a responsibility for directing the energies of some ten thousand other alumni into activities and programs that benefit themselves and Washington and Lee University. How did these twelve men come to occupy such positions of respon- sibility? Because other alumni, like you, recognized their leadership abilities and placed their names in nomination for board membership. It is a proven fact that members of the Alumni Board of ‘Trustees display an active and exceptional interest in all affairs of Washing- ton and Lee University and of the association. ‘his interest continues long after they have completed their active service on the board. Some began this closer relation- ship with the association and the University by taking a first step to- ward more active participation— direct interest and concern for the nomination and election of the men who preceded them as mem- bers of the Board. On this page are shown pictures of the men appointed by President Rodney M. Cook to serve as a nom- inating committee for 1963. Per- haps one of them lives in your re- gion, or perhaps you'll recall one as a contemporary of yours on the Washington and Lee campus. In any case, you'll recognize these three as dedicated alumni who are interested in seeing that good lead- ers are nominated to the Alumni Board of Trustees. They must have your help if they are to do their job in the best pos- sible fashion. Act now! Name your candidate for the Board and send his name to one of the nominating committee members today.

The increasing number of bank holdups, which are a part of a general pattern across the country, is a matter of immediate con- cern to him. This increase is partly be- cause of the general increase in crime and the large number of branch banks now in operation, which makes easier targets for holdups.

Hawkins reminisces that he was one of half a dozen students en- rolled in Mr. Gilliam’s course and he says he considers it was of ines- timable and memorable help to him in subsequent writing. Although The Big Red Pock- etbook is the first Hawkins book to be released, Bill has completed two other novels and is now finish- ing a third unpublished | one. “Pocketbook” (employing a Broad- way habit of shortening long titles) originally was 780 pages long. ‘The author then cut it to 270 pages and now the number of pages in the published edition les between these figures.

During the summer after Bill was graduated from prep school, he took a motor trip through Virginia with his father, mother and two brothers. Bill took one look at Washington and Lee, liked it, and it became his home for the next SIX years. A few years ago Bull Hawkins returned to Lexington to lecture. He humorously points out that were teachers in attendance in Lee Chap- there many of his former el, and he had a fine feeling of re- venge in seeing the tables turned on professors in his captive audi- ence. Novelist Hawkins was literally born on Broadway in New York City. Years later, from 1946 until 1956, he saw his own name in front of nearly every Broadway theatre with quotes from his hundreds of reviews of shows.
