Lee Research Scholars Are Working With Professors on Projects In Seventeen Academic Areas N THE PSYCHOLOGY laboratory in duPont Hall, a senior performs a delicate brain operation on a white rat, while in an adjoining room, another student clocks oth- er white rats in their progress through a simple maze. Across town, in the privacy of his own room, a student sits down with a stack of seldom-opened books from the recesses of McCormick L1- brary and prepares to search them for references to French philoso- pher Pierre Abelard. Fifty miles away, in the Roanoke office of the president of a small metal fabricating plant, another Washington and Lee student ques- tions the older man about the way he operates his profitable business. In the physics laboratories of Washington and Lee’s new science building, several students patient- ly set up another attempt to “grow” 9 ~ a pure single crystal of zinc in a high temperature furnace that they have helped design and build. Still another student is quietly but thoroughly poring over a col- lection of faded letters, most of them a century old, in the office of a history professor. The activities of these young men are typical of those involving some seventy-five Washington and Lee students during the current academic year. Each is engaged in a highly specialized area of re- search, each is working under the guidance of a professor who is a trained researcher, and each is per- mitted a degree of responsibility in the project that is commensurate with his training and experience. Each is either a Robert E. Lee Research Assistant or a Robert E. Lee Research Scholar, and both terms mean distinction on_ the Washington and Lee campus. In many instances the student's project involves research interests of the supervising professor, in which case the student serves as a research assistant or apprentice, carrying out assignments at the di- rection of his professor. In other projects, the research may have been conceived by the student him- self, then planned and executed un- der the supervision of a professor interested in helping the under- eraduate. In virtually every case, the work of the students and their level of involvement is comparable with that undertaken normally only at the graduate level in pursuit of ad- vanced degrees. And the close re- lationships between students and professors is of a proximity seldom encountered below the Ph.D. level in graduate school, University of- ficials point out. ‘The unusual, perhaps unique, as- pect of this activity at Washington and Lee is the fact that such work is being done on such a large scale at the undergraduate or bachelor degree plateau. Few, if any, col- leges and universities in the United States have yet undertaken such a broad program of undergradu- ate research. Washington and Lee’s program is known as the Robert E. Lee Re- search Program for Undergradu- ates, and it is now well established in its third year of operation. ‘The program is supported by a gift of more than a quarter of a million dollars from the late Dr. Gustavus B. Capito, ‘99, of Charleston, W. Va., in 1960. This fund was later augmented by two gifts from the Charleston Foundation for Re- search, and under the combined support, the program has grown significantly. Established in the second semes- ter of the 1960-61 session, the pro- gram first involved only twenty-five students in a handful of projects. By 1961-62, fifty-seven students THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE were active in forty-nine projects. During the current academic year, participation has increased even more. ‘he seventy-five students are working in fifty-five projects under thirty-five professors who represent seventeen academic areas. Although a large number of pro- jects concern the natural sciences, the humanities and social sciences are well-represented in the pro- gram, and a University-wide bal- ance is achieved in application of the program’s funds. Active with 1962-63 projects are such diverse Senior chemist ROBERT M. AUBURN al work on a re- search study of the ther- modynamics of fused salt systems. AUBURN was one of seventeen Washington and Lee student research- ers who presented papers at the 1963 meeting of the Virginia Academy of Science, fields as accounting, music, sociolo- gy, linguistics, economics, public speaking, military science, com- merce, modern foreign languages, English, philosophy, history, and law, as well as the sciences—biolo- gy, chemistry, geology, physics, and psychology. Dean of the College, Dr. William W. Pusey III, under whose direc- tion the program operates, expects student and faculty interest to in- crease still further, to a point where the limited funds available for the program will place student appli- cants in a highly competitive sit- uation. The overall purpose of the pro- gram is to present undergraduates with an opportunity to work close- ly with professors in meaningful SPRING 1963 research projects that will acquaint the students with the tools, tech- niques, and methodology of schol- arly and scientific investigation. A principal benefit of the pro- gram is the stimulus given to the intellectual curiosity of the stu- dents. ‘The pected to encourage participants program can be ex- to go on to graduate school and fu- ture careers as teachers, scholars, and scientists. Even for students who do not intend to pursue grad- uate work, participation in the pro- gram 1s rewarding and challenging. Willard R. Young III of Leban- on, N. J., is a senior who expects to follow a banking career. His Robert E. Lee project—one he de- vised himself with the assistance of Commerce professor Dr. Lewis K. Johnson—is a study of the opera- tion of small metal fabricating plants within a seventy mile radius of Lexington. Young feels that a grasp of problems of small business- men and industrialists will help him in his future career as a bank- er in a city of modest size. James W. McBride of Hilton Head, S.C., will study German in the University of North Carolina’s graduate school next year. His as- sistance to Philosophy professor Dr. Paul C. Hayner in compiling a bibliography on Abelard will give him valuable training for a_ task he is sure to encounter as a gradu- ate student. No Robert E. Lee Research Pro- eram participants receive academ- ic credit for their work, nor do they feel that this kind of program should involve grades and credit. R. Meade Christian, Jr., of Rich- mond, the 1963 valedictorian who assists Biology professor Dr. Lyman R. Emmons in a project in cytoge- netics, feels the Lee program offers undergraduates a unique relation- ship with professors. “T think it ts good for students to work with their professors and not be concerned with getting an ‘A OF a Bas a-result,” says Chris- tian. “It’s a real change of pace for me to work with Dr. share his excitement and his enthu- disappointments. This program encourages students Emmons, slasm—and his to do things on their own, and for me, it has been excellent technical training for my future work in medical school.” For all of the undergraduate par- ticipants, the program means es- sentially a form of very beneficial campus Each student agrees to devote a given number of hours during a semester to his work, for which he is compensated at a rate of $1.35 to part-time employment. Q ao $1.50 per hour, depending upon his experience. But, as a campus job, a research appointment has import- ant advantages other than the mod- est income it provides for its recip1- ents. When the program was first announced, the New York Times commented this way: “di he wishes to work his way through undergra duate wha college is generally faced with a choice among menial and non- academic jobs that have little re- lation to the higher education he is seeking. A recent gift to Wash- ington and Lee University, how- ever, will make it possible for talented students to engage in projects for pay, in- stead of waiting on © research tables or shelving library books. The fi- nancial aid is not designed to underwrite honors work, but to enable the student to earn his way by a means that has educa- tional value.” If students are the prime bene- ficiaries in the Robert E. Lee pro- gram, there are benefits for profes- sors, too, Dean Pusey points out. They have an opportunity to work closely with highly motivated and highly interested students, of the type usually found only in grad- ‘Tor PHoto—Senior J.

Professors are encour- aged to undertake the kind of re- search projects that can involve stu- dent assistants in meaningful work, and Robert E. Lee funds are avail- able for the purchase of equipment and materials essential to projects which do involve students. Professors are enthusiastic about the program, and they agree that it has an important future at Wash- ington and Lee. Dr. Samuel J. Ko- zak of the Geology department has two students working on two dif- ferent projects now, but he antici- pates expanded use of student as- sistants in the future. “If I can be- gin training selected students as sophomores, by the time they are seniors we can have a really im- portant research team functioning in geology,” he points out. Science professors are especial- ly proud of the number of papers presented each year by Washington and Lee research participants at the Virginia Academy of Science. Virtually no papers are presented from other colleges by undergrad- uate students at the academy’s an- nual meeting. In addition to the knowledge they acquire of research tools and techniques, Washington and Lee’s researchers learn of other import- ant attributes of the successful scholar or scientist. Says Robert M. Auburn, a senior pre-medical stu- dent from Falls Church, Va., “You learn to be patient, to work hard without dramatic re- sults at every turn. When I was in- terviewed by Duke Medical School, the doctors there were impressed, I expecting think, with my understanding of the patience that research and _ ad- vanced study requires.” Auburn was accepted at Duke, and will en- roll there in the fall. George K. Taylor, a junior from Orange, Va., has found that the re- searcher can encounter many blind alleys, even in the most fundament- al of investigations. ‘Taylor wants THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE to build pipe organs as a profession, so when the Lee Chapel restoration got underway, he took on a study of the Chapel’s Erben organ which also was to be restored. For one thing, he wanted to know who par- ticipated in the dedication pro- gram in 1872. But the Lexington Gazette of that day offered little help: “The participants are so well known locally that it is unnecessary to list them here,” it reported. Tay- lor has continued the search dili- gently but with little success. Some of the students achieve al- most total involvement in their re- search. William M. Durrett, an At- lanta senior, has acquired a_ sur- geon’s skill in his work with Dr. Leonard E. Jarrard’s white rats, used by the professor in a number of psychology — studies. Durrett keeps a sleeping bag in his labora- tory, works late and gets early starts. He is so interested in the ex- periments that he hopes to return next year as a special student to continue his assistance to Dr. Jar- rard. An attractive feature of the Rob- ert E. Lee program is an opportunt- ty for the young scholars in various fields to share a part of their ex- perience with their student col- leagues and professors. Dean Pusey is host each year at a series of small dinners at which the pro- eram participants bring short oral reports on the work they have been doing and of their reaction to the program itself. “They all have a contagious en- thusiasm,”” says Dean Pusey, who adds, ““My enthusiasm for the pro- eram continues undiminished.” Directing the program is a job Dean Pusey does with vigor. Part of its administration involves con- siderable bookkeeping on the part of Dean Pusey’s secretary, Mrs. Faye Lowry. Among many other im- portant duties connected with Lee research, she helps ascertain wheth- er a student qualifies as a Robert SPRING 1963 E. Lee Research Assistant or a Rob- ert E. Lee Research Scholar. It takes a “C” average for participa- tion at all, but if an applicant has a ‘‘B” average, he gains the “‘schol- ar’ designation. Dean Pusey remarks that parti- cipation in the program involves certain status among serious. stu- dents. He says they see in the pro- gram an opportunity to make a contribution to their own educa- tions and to the University. President Cole is pleased with the progress of the Robert E. Lee program to date, but he is hopeful that its influence can be broaden- ed. President Cole also is hopeful that projects can be undertaken in the sciences and other disciplines that will continue throughout the summer months, thus making worthwhile use of university facili- ties that otherwise stand idle dur- ing the normal vacation period. ‘The University’s new science facil- ities all have special provisions for student research. Expansion of the program along these lines will require additional resources, but University officials are hopeful that such help will be forthcoming. Washington and Lee is exercising outstanding leadership in the freld of undergraduate re- search, and the success of the pro- eram to date is encouraging, not only to the University, its profes- sors, and students, but to many others as well. 8:00 p.m.—Final Concert 12:30 p.m.—Alumni Luncheon 10:00 p-m.—Final Dance WASHINGTON AND LEE Commencement, 1963 TUESDAY, JUNE 4 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5 10:00 a.m.—Meeting of the University Board of Trustees THURSDAY, JUNE 6 11:00 a.m.—Baccalaureate Service Sermon—Dr. Davin W.

C., has given five works to the Univer- Art Collection Growing sity’s Department of Fine Arts, and William G. Leverty, assistant man- aging editor of the Richmond With Gifts and Purch ases Times-Dispatch, has given an oil painting. Department head Dr. Marion M. Junkin noted that these gifts bring the University’s total holding to some 4o prints and 12 paintings. Works belonging in the Lee Chapel collection or located in other buildings on the campus are not included in Dr. Junkin’s count. Among Mr. Hecht’s gifts are works by ‘Tomayo, Picasso, Cha- gall, Staack and Friedlande. The works include both oils and prints. Some time ago, Mr. Hecht donated works by Rouault, Goya and Dau- mier to Washington and Lee’s col- lection. Mr. Hecht’s mother, Mrs. A. F. Hecht who also lives in Washing- ton, exhibited a selection of her works in the duPont Hall gallery during March. Her exhibition was among nine such displays sponsored by the Fine Arts Department dur- ing the school year. A painting by Ray Prohaska, a New York artist who gave a galllery talk for faculty and students at Washington and Lee two years ago, is Mr. Leverty’s gift to the Univer- sity’s collection.

New 42-Booth Electronic Laboratory Aids Students’ Foreign Language Study Wi Washington and Lee’s new electronic language laboratory went into use early in the second semester this year, one of the first lessons students learned was how to say “No Smoking” in five foreign languages. Amid the tape recorders, micro- phones, and master console costing thousands of dollars were six, col- orful, carefully hand-lettered wall signs. Five say “No Smoking” in French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish; the sixth, obviously for beginning language students, is in English. The signs serve an important purpose, according to Prof. B. Stuart Stephenson, assistant pro- fessor of German and coordinator of the language laboratory. Micro- phones and other electronic gear located in the forty-two student booths and the master console are extremely sensitive and could be damaged by smoke in the. air, Stephenson explains. His colleague, German instructor David B. Dick- ens, lettered the laboratory signs. ‘The laboratory, available for in- struction in all the foreign lan- guages offered at Washington and Lee, is housed in a large converted classroom in the — university’s duPont Hall. The laboratory is open daily and Sunday nights for class instruction, study and review. Half of the laboratory’s booths are equipped with individual tape recorders for students’ use, and each student booth has a micro- phone and earphones, plus accom- panying controls. All the booths may be controlled from the instruc- tor’s console, and it is possible to teach four classes at the same time. Normally, not more than two classes—relatively small conversa- tion sections—use the laboratory simultaneously, Prof. Stephenson noted. ‘The instructor, through switches at his console, is able to monitor a selected student during a class per- iod without disturbing the work of the entire class. Corrections, daily quizzes, and other types of class work may be accomplished on a full class or individual _ basis through the master console. ‘The master unit itself has three tape re- corders and a phonograph for trans- mitting professionally-made tapes and records or those made by in- structors. ‘he teacher’s microphone enables him to speak to the class or to individual students. Language laboratories have be- come a common feature in most col- leges and many high schools in re- cent years. Washington and Lee’s installation has grown from a small console-listening unit given by a student’s father in 1960. The ini- tial unit still sees service in an- other room in duPont Hall. “A laboratory of this type can SPRING 19683 be a highly efficient teaching meth- od,” Prof. Stephenson observed. “It certainly stimulates enthusiasm in the students.” Some language students are asked to purchase their own reels of tape for study. The student-owned tapes serve as the basis for “comparison recording.” For this type of study exercise, the student records trans- missions from the master console, plays them back, listens and records his repetitions. After class, the stu- dent is able to listen to his repeti- tions and compare them with the instructor’s recording to increase his language fluency. “The laboratory furnishes other tapes for student use. Language professors at Wash- ington and Lee are especially en- thusiastic about using the labora- tory’s facilities for introducing stu- dents to plays, operas, novels and poetry of other languages and cul- tures. Daily operation of the labora- tory is handled by three student assistants working under the aus- pices of the university's under- graduate Robert E. Lee Research Program. Junior Robert Brewer, Jr., sophomore ‘Tim Vanderver and freshman Philip Manor currently are Prof. Stephenson’s assistants. The laboratory assistantships are to be awarded annually to the top applicants regardless of the aca- demic department in which they are majoring. The students keep tabs on the working order of the equipment, catalogue tapes and records, set up recorders and other instruments for class sessions. Whenever needed, they are on hand during class peri- ods to aid instructors. One of the assistants’ primary duties is helping fellow students in using laboratory equipment during after-class hours. Actual maintenance of the facili- ties is handled by Roanoke sound specialists who installed the equip- ment. 8 News of the University Phi Beta Kappa Keys For Eight Students, Alumnus Edward Korry IGHT WASHINGTON and Lee stu- Bk dents and one alumnus were elected by the Gamma of Virginia Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa _ for initiation into the national honor- ary scholastic society for 1963. All but Edward M. Korry, °42, were initiated in cere- alumnus monies held traditionally on April 12 in connection with the annual Phi Beta Kappa-Cincinnati Society Convocation. Mr. Korry, recently named by President John F. Ken- nedy to be United States Ambassa- dor to Ethiopia, was en route to his new assignment in Addis Ababa. PROFESSOR Kitro with PRESIDENT COLE on a campus stroll. His initiation will take place at a later time. Students honored include senior Herbert Jahncke, Jr., son of Her- bert G. Jahncke, °30, of New Or- leans, who was also selected to membership in the Virginia Gam- ma chapter while an undergraduate at Washington and Lee. Mr. Jahn- cke was on hand for the day’s ac- tivities, and spoke brieflly at the banquet in honor of the new ini- tiates which followed the initiation ceremony. Other student initiates included academic seniors Richard ‘homas Edwards, III, son of Richard ‘T. Edwards, 35, of Roanoke; Charles Alan Grubb of Silver Spring, Md.; William Bryan Lowry of Hobbs, N.M.; and John Francis Refo of Norfolk. Academic juniors elected were Jere Davis Cravens of Summit, N. J., and William Alfred Noell of Bluefield, W. Va. ‘Timothy Giles Ireland, 60, of Akron, O., was the sole student in the School of Law picked for membership this year. ‘The eight students make up the smallest group of initiates in many years for the Virginia Gamma Chapter. ‘Iwo other seniors, Robert Meade Christian of Richmond and Calvin Meredith Morrow of Okla- homa City, Okla., were initiated last year as juniors. Speaker for the noon convoca- tion was Prof. H. D. F. Kitto, Eng- lish scholar and classicist, currently a visiting professor at Brandeis University in Boston.

COLE congratulates both. at England’s University of Bristol and the author of two highly re- garded books, The Greeks and Greek Tragedy, spoke on “Divine Justice in Greek Tragedy.” Usually conducted in Lee Chap- el, the Phi Beta Kappa-Cincinnati Convocation was held this year in the smaller duPont Auditorium, with special seating and a public address system located in the ad- joining hall for the more than ca- pacity audience which heard Pro- fessor Kitto. Although Professor Kitto’s dis- course was appropriately scholarly, his remarks often reflected a keen sense of humor. After speaking for an hour concerning the manifes- tations of divine justice in certain Greek tragic drama, Professor Kit- to concluded, ““Now, I was about to relate all this to the current world situation, but I see my, time is up.” The professor also spoke in a light vein as a part of the after din- ner program of the initiation ban- quet. Dr. James G. Leyburn, pro- fessor of sociology and president of the Virginia Gamma chapter, pre- sided over the day’s activities. At the banquet, President Fred C. Cole congratulated the new ini- tiates, and ‘Timothy Ireland spoke in behalf of the other initiates in SPRING 1968 acknowledging their gratitude and honor to be associated with Phi Beta Kappa. m AN ARTICLE by Dr. Leonard E. Jarrard, assistant professor of psy- chology, appears in a recent issue of the Journal of Comparative and Physiological Psychology. Entitled “Effects of X-irradiation on Operant Behavior in ‘The Rat,” the article is based on _ research conducted under the auspices of a erant from the National Institutes of Health. L. BARRETT, head of the Department of Lan- euages, participated in a Collo- quim on Curricular Change in ‘The Foreign Languages at Skytop Lodge, Pa., in April. The three-day session, sponsored by the College Entrance Examina- m DR. L.

Dr. William M. Hinton, head of the Psychology Department, acted FACULTY as chairman of two joint sessions of the society, of which he is a former president. Dr. Harrison J. Pemberton, Jr., associate professor of Philosophy, and Dr. Leonard E. Jarrard, assistant professor of psy- chology, presented papers during the meetings. @ THE RESIGNATIONS Of three facul- ty members have been announced. Dr. Marshall W. Fishwick, pro- fessor of American Studies and a member of the faculty since 1949, has been on a year’s leave of ab- sence serving as director of the Wemyss Foundation of Wilming- ton, Del. He will continue to di- rect the activities of the foundation which conducts research and study projects in the fields of American history and other American studies. Joiming the faculty of the Massa- chusetts Institute of ‘Technology in September will be ‘Thomas P. Hughes, associate professor of his- tory. Dr. Hughes has been on leave this year teaching at M. I. ‘T. and at the University of Wisconsin. He has been a member of the faculty since 1956. Dr. J. Harvey Wheeler, profes- sor of political science, has been on a two-year leave taking part in the formulation of a “master plan” for future editions of the Encyclo- pedia Britannica. A member of the faculty since 1954, he has been working at the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions in San- ta Barbara, Calif. Co-author of the best-selling novel, Fail-Safe, he will continue his writing and research activities in California. m@ DR. CHARLES V. LAUGHLIN, profes- sor of law, will serve as a Fulbright Lecturer at the University of Hel- sinki in Finland for the 1963-64 academic year. Professor Laughlin will lecture on American Jurispru- dence and Judicial System. A member of the law faculty since 1940, Dr. Laughlin received his LL.M. degree from Harvard University and his J.S.D. degree from the University of Chicago. His undergraduate work was done at Lenox College in Iowa and at George Washington University. He practiced law with a Wash- ington, D.C., firm in 1929-30 and with a Chicago firm in 1930 and again from 1932 to 1938. He was professor of political science at Lenox College in 1931-32. Professor Laughlin, who has been admitted to practice in the District of Columbia, Illinois and Virginia, is a graduate of the first officer candidate class of the Army’s Judge Advocate General’s Corps, serving in JAGC from 1942 to 1946. He is a retired Army Reserve lieu- tenant colonel. m THE GULF OIL corp. has given the University $808 in unrestricted funds through its aid to education program. ‘This is the fourth such gift received under the Direct Grants to Independent Colleges section of the Gulf educational pro- eram. m A $1,500 GIFT from the ‘Texaco, Inc., aid-to-education program for support of privately-endowed. col- leges and universities will be ap- plied to faculty salaries, according to President Cole. ‘The unrestricted gift marks the seventh consecutive year the University has been se- lected as a participant in the pro- eram. WASHINGTON AND LEE has been in- vited to participate in a Coopera- tive Undergraduate Program for Critical Languages at Princeton University. 10 Dr. CHARLES V. LAUGHLIN ‘The new program, supported by a grant from Carnegie Corporation of New York, will make available to undergraduates of certain other institutions Princeton’s resources for instruction in Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Persian, Russian and Turkish languages and related re- gional studies in the social sciences. Washington and Lee is the only institution from the South so far invited to take part in the plan. Other participating colleges in- clude Carleton, Hamilton, Haver- ford, Kenyon, Lawrence, Oberlin, and Swarthmore. In the program, undergraduates from other institutions will be ad- mitted to Princeton at the end of their sophomore year for a year of instruction in the critical lan- guages, and related studies, and will return to their own colleges as seniors to complete their under- graduate work. mw R. MEADE CHRISTIAN, JR., Of Rich- mond, Va., will deliver the _ tra- ditional student valedictory ad- dress at commencement exercises on June 7. He was selected for the honor by the faculty as the senior degree can- didate with the highest cumulative academic average at the end of first semester. A pre-medical mayor, Christian achieved a 2.96 grade- point average on a scale where 3.0 would indicate no grade below A. He received B grades for only four hours of work, while earning A’s in 108 hours of work. The 1963 valedictorian is a grad- uate of ‘Thomas Jefferson High School in Richmond. He was elect- ed to membership in Phi Beta Kap- pa as a junior and is president of Omicron Delta Kappa, honorary leadership fraternity. He is president of Phi Gamma Delta, a freshman dormitory coun- selor, a Robert E. Lee Research Scholar, and a member of the stu- dent Executive Committee. Last summer, he visited Ghana as a member of a work camp crew spon- sored by the Episcopal Church. m FOUR SENIORS, a Junior, and two professors have been elected to membership in Beta Gamma Sig- ma, honorary scholastic business fraternity. Seniors selected are James W. Ivey, II, West Hartford, Conn., John ‘T. Mills, Leesburg, Va., George E. Missbach, Jr., Atlanta, Ga., and William E. Smith, Jr., Birmingham, Ala. William A.

One hundred = alumni agreed to serve as regional agents during the phase of the annual fund drive that emphasizes contact with prospective contributors ac- cording to areas of residence. ‘The regional campaign is designed to complement and support the work accomplished by the Class Agents who have contacted all alumni through academic and law class rolls. have The names of the one hundred regional agents appear on the in- side back cover of this magazine issue. Each has recruited a corps of co-workers, averaging about ten men per agent, thus making up a group of workers nearly a thousand strong. If you are among those who have not yet responded to the 1962-63 Alumni Fund appeal, chances are 14 Response by Alumni Donors Boosts Fund Over $100,000 Mark For ‘Tenth Time in History; _ Participation Goal Is Far Short that one of the regional represen- tatives will be calling soon. In many cases, he will be a friend or neighbor. In all cases, he will be a dedicated alumnus of Washington and Lee, willing to give of his time and efforts in an undertaking that is important to you as an alumnus and to your University. As the regional agents and their helpers begin their work, there is a strong incentive for them to per- form a thorough and effective job. As of mid-April, the 1962-63 contri- butions to the Fund have totaled $101,932.54. The goal of $115,000 established last fall by Chairman Don Fergusson’s Alumni Fund Council is definitely in reach. In fact, it could be substantially sur- passed if the expected good results from the regional campaigns ma- terialize. The results of the Fund appeal are significant in many ways this year. The current total marks only the fourth time that alumni have exceeded the $100,000 mark in their giving through the annual Fund. In 1956, the first time this level was reached, the total was $100,931.31; IN 19547, it was $102,- 461.26; and in 1958, the total was a record high of $113,681.79, which included a substantial amount ear- marked for the Cy Young Scholar- ship Fund. There followed the suc- cessful University Development Program for capital funds and the subsequent suspension of the Al- umni Fund as such for a period of two years. ‘The results of the cur- rent year reflect a gradual reestab- lishment of the Fund over a four year period, beginning in 1960. As encouraging as the prospect 1s for a record Fund year, there is a discouraging note, too. This in- volves the number of alumni con- tributors who are making this ban- ner year possible. ‘The Alumni Fund was openly ambitious when it set a participation goal of 100 per cent, but council members were convinced that the efforts should be directed toward all Washington and Lee men, not just an arbitrary fraction. As of mid-April there have been 2,647 contributors to the Fund. During the 1956-58 Fund years, the number of contributors totaled 3,363 1n 1956, 3,369 In 1957, and 3,378 in 1958. It is obvious that the THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE current Fund finds fewer contribu- tors giving more, a response that in- dicates that many alumni are in- creasing their level of support as their capabilities increase. This is good, for increased giving is one of the goals sought by the Council, but there 1s another goal that is of equal importance. This goal deals with those alum- ni who have yet to support any annual Fund, or those who give in- termittently or infrequently. The concern here is not how much a person gives, but the simple act of responding itself. Response can be only a token gift, but it can be a thoughtful gift, one that express- es—however modestly—the former student’s continuing interest in the University he attended. Many col- leges and _ universities—generally those with which Washington and Lee men like to compare their Uni- versity—achieve fifty to seventy-five per cent participation in their an- nual alumni fund drives. Wash- ington and Lee’s participation is now approximately twenty-five per cent, and the Alumni Fund Coun- cil is hopeful that a significant trend upward may start this year. First letters back from those al- umni who have received their Lee Chapel nails express pleasure and gratitude for this impressive sym- bol of their support of Washing- ton and Lee. If you haven’t registered your support of your University through a contribution to the Fund, won’t you do it now?
