Prescotr ROWE Assistant Director of Information Services HEN Dean of Admissions Frank J. Gilliam vacates his office this summer he’ll probably move two well-worn leather chairs with him as reminders of his work with gen- erations of Washington and Lee students. The red leather chairs, worn smooth by the nervous shiftings of thousands of students who have visited with the 68-year-old dean over the past three decades, are symbolic of Dean Gilliam’s deep personal interest in every Wash- ington and Lee undergraduate and subsequent alumnus. Since 1931, nearly every Wash- ington and Lee man has had at least two chances to share this in- terest from the vantage point of one of those chairs. If a young ap- plicant to the University did not visit with Dean Gilliam in his role as Dean of Admissions, then he probably got to see him later—for one reason or another—as Dean of Students. No matter when a student stop- ped by to visit Dean Gilliam, vol- untarily or otherwise, he always received a warm welcome, an in- vitation to be seated, and full at- tention to his particular problem. Although Frank J. Gilliam only officially “‘wore two hats” as Dean of Students and Director of Ad- THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE missions from 1951 to 1962, he has been at both jobs much longer. He became Washington and Lee’s first Dean of Students in 1931, and, as admissions work grew in scope and complexity, he assumed responsi- bility for both jobs. In 1962, at his own request, he was relieved of his responsibilities as Dean of Students in order that he might devote full attention to Washington and Lee’s admissions program. His retirement this summer ac- tually marks the close of 37 years as a member of Washington and Lee’s administration and faculty. He first came to the University in 1926 as a member of the English faculty. Designated Dean Emeritus by the University’s Board of ‘Trustees at its June meeting, Dean Gilliam will not be retiring in the usual sense of the word. He will continue to serve as a consultant to the ad- missions office and as a special ad- viser to President Fred C. Cole. His familiar second floor office in Washington Hall will be relo- cated on the first floor. ‘The leather chairs will be moved too. “The new location puts him close to the Alumni Office and will afford him casy access to the files of his thous- ands of former students. He can ex- pect frequent visitors, too, from among the hundreds of alumni who drop by in the course of the school year and summer. He plans to stay busy in his new role, but the pres- sure of his former jobs he will leave behind on the second floor. Fifty years ago this September, Dean Gilliam, a native of nearby Lynchburg, began his virtual life- long association with Washington and Lee as an entering freshman. Since the Fall of 1913, he has earned B.A. and M.A. degrees, served in the U.S. Army, organized a missionary educational system in the Belgian Congo, taught English at Augusta Military Academy and at Washington and Lee, and held down simultaneously two demand- SUMMER 1963 ing college administrative posts. In 1924, he married Louise Fon- taine Johnson, who continues to share his interest in Washington and Lee and who acts as the gra- hostess at ‘Belfield,’ the lovely Gilliam home and gardens a short distance from the campus. CLOUS In many ways, Dean Gilliam personifies the spirit of Washington and Lee for the majority of its grad- uates of the past thirty years. Re- turning alumni seldom fail to in- quire about Dean Gilliam and most take time to visit with him. In such cases, Dean Gilliam’s prodigious memory makes introductions sel- dom necessary. Countless students, as graduation drew close, have stop- ped by for perhaps less nervous visits in one of those leather chairs, to thank Dean Gilliam for what he has done for them and_ for Washington and Lee. Dean Gilliam has stressed the personal approach in his work with students, and it has been his metic- ulous attention to the “little things” that have meant so much to students over the many years he has been dean. “The fundamental foundation of whatever effectiveness this job had was getting to know students as individuals rather than emphasiz- ing institutional programs,” Dean Gilliam reflects. His personal concern was mani- fested in many difffferent ways. As Dean of Students, his door was al- ways open for student visitors. He made frequent visits to Lexington’s hospital to call on confined stu- dents in order that he might make direct reports home to their famil- ies. When grade time came at the end of the semester, he spent count- less hours entering hand-written personal comments on every gerade sheet before it was mailed to a stu- dent’s parents. His highest praise: a heartfelt “Splendid!!!” As Dean of Admissions, he wel- comed prospective students with a warmth that sometimes nearly overwhelmed them, but a warmth that underscored his vital interest in their choice of a college. ‘Thous- ands of letters, in the flawless Eng- lish for which Dean Gilliam has be- come so well known to all of his as- sociates, were mailed to admissions candidates over the years. Each always took the most personal ap- proach possible. To every undergraduate, Dean Gilliam’s phenomenal ability to re- member first names is a significant example of his dynamic personal interest in students. Dean Gilliam admits that the opportunity to re- view admissions applications gave him a jump on names. Just as Dean Gilliam’s warm friendship has marked the lives of thousands of his students, his fore- sight, energy, and capacity for get- ting things done have led to achievements that have made dis- tinctive marks on the University. He was influential in the plan- ning that resulted in the opening of Letitia Pate Evans Dining Hall four years ago, and in the expan- sion of the University’s dormitory facilities to accommodate upper- classmen, law students, and a slight increase in the size of the fresh- man class. He established Wash- ington and Lee’s pattern of fresh- man living, whereby new students are required to reside in the dormi- tories under the guidance of care- fully selected upperclass counsel- lors. He helped promote the for- mation of the University Publica- tions Board. He was instrumental in the development of the fraterni- ty housemother system. One of his proudest achievements is the annual Freshman Camp, which this September will conduct its 32nd three-day orientation and recreation program at Natural Bridge for new students. Dean Gil- liam deserves the title of ‘“found- ing father’ of the camp, for after he served as a faculty adviser for a Hi-Y pre-school camp in 1927 and 1928, he saw how a broader appli- cation of this idea could work for the benefit of Washington and Lee and the great majority of freshmen. The first Freshman Camp opened in 1928 for a relatively small num- ber of entering students. Since that time, the camp has grown to encompass the entire freshman class and is considered an important aid to the adjustments an incoming student must make. Dean Gilliam retired as director of the camp in 1956, but each Sep- tember he has found the time to pay a visit to the campsite for at least one day. Dean Gilliam was also instru- mental in setting up the Univer- sity's important faculty adviser program, in which each new stu- dent comes under the direct per- sonal influence of an experienced professor who assists the young man in solving problems both aca- 4 demic and personal. Dean Gilliam continually sought ways to improve upon the system, and worked dili- gently to match freshmen with the best possible faculty adviser, as suggested by the student’s appli- cation information and admissions Scores. Much of Dean Gilliam’s work in- volved him in fraternity relations. He has served as chairman of the faculty committee on fraternities, and he has steadfastly labored to strengthen the influence of the stu- dent Interfraternity Council. In reflecting on the fraternity situation, Dean Gilliam said: “Fraternities certainly occupied a position of great prominence dur- ing the 1930's, based primarily on their emphasis on social life. In recent years the element of serious purpose in students and their de- termination to achieve the strong- est intellectual possibilities of a col- lege education have been brought to bear on fraternities. The adap- tation has presented many prob- lems. I do feel that fraternities are attempting to adapt, but I can- not claim that adaptation has fully succeeded.” No man is a stauncher defender of the time-honored tradition of student government at Washington and Lee than Dean Gilliam. He has been impressed by the consistent quality of the elected student lead- ers, and he treasures his associa- tion with these young men over the past three decades. “One of the greatest rewards | receive is the association with stu- dent leaders in an entirely advisory capacity in connection with their operation of the Honor System.” Although the University’s Hon- or System is administered entirely by student leaders, no one at Washington and Lee would hesi- tate to admit that Dean Gilliam has been the backbone of the cher- ished system for more than 30 years. | “One of the things that has meant most to me is the almost un- believable way the spirit of the Honor System has characterized the lives of the students here,’ Dean Gilliam observes. “Apart from academic values, nothing in a man’s four years at Washington and Lee means more to him than _ living under the Honor System.” While the great Washington and Lee men know Dean Gilliam as Dean of Students, perhaps most educational associ- ates outside the University admire him for his knowledge and expe- rience in the admissions field. majority of Washington and Lee’s admissions program today is essentially Dean Gilliam’s admissions program. Other colleges and universities have used his work as a model and profited by his example. He is an enthusiastic supporter of the work of the College Entrance Examina- tion Board, of whose trustees Pres- ident Cole is now the chairman. Largely through Dean Gilliam’s urging, Washington and Lee _ be- came in 1950 the first men’s col- lege in the South to require the Scholastic Aptitude ‘Test of the CEEB for all applicants. Three years ago, again under Dean Gil- liam’s leadership, Washington and Lee became the first men’s college in the South to require three CEEB achievement tests of each candidate for admission. Dean Gilliam’s stature as an ad- missions authority and his interest in the CEEB led to his appoint ment im 1952 as the first represen- tative of a Southern college to serve on the CEEB’s executive commit- tee, a post he held for three years. But CEEB tests scores are only one of the tools that the admis- sion officer must use, Dean Gilliam insists. When he helped select a class, he would weigh many fac- tors, including a= student’s class standing, his principal’s evalua- tion and recommendation, and the recommendations of others. And from the many hundreds of appli- THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Dean GILLIAM presents senior ‘THOMAS N. RAINS of Atlanta with the first Gilliam Award of the stu- dent Executive Commit- tee. The award honors DEAN GILLIAM by singling out the senior who has made the greatest contri- bution to the University during his undergraduate career. RAINS was an Ex- ecutive Committee mem- ber ‘and also served as chairman of the Student Control Committee, hav- ing responsibilities. in- cluding student disciplin- ary matters. The award was made at the annual banquet for seniors given by the Alumni Assocta- tion. cants, Dean Gilliam would choose the relative few who hopefully would become Washington and Lee eraduates. “In common with college educa- tion over the country, academic standards have been improved, and a college education today repre- sents a far greater opportunity for a far larger segment of young men and women than was ever dreamed of a few decades ago,” he adds. In March, 1962, Dean Gilliam was stricken with a heart attack at the busiest time of the year for a college admissions man. Dean Gil- liam’s close associate of ten years, Associate Dean of Admissions James D. Farrar, took over efh- ciently, and completed the selec- tion of the 1962 entering class in a manner that reflected the inval- uable experience to be gained in working with a person like Dean Gilliam. Dean Gilliam’s recovery was rapid and complete, and he re- turned to his work in September, but he made no secret of his hope to relinquish soon the heavy re- SUMMER 19638 sponsibilities. As the end of the academic year approached, a num- ber of events took place that sug- gested the awareness of the student body and alumni that the Univer- sity would be losing one of its out- standing figures. The Student Body Executive Committee set up the “Gilliam Award” to recognize meritorious contributions to the University by a senior. Members of the Board of Trustees arranged for a portrait of Dean Gilliam to be presented to the University, and the student news- paper honored Dean Gilliam’s serv- ice in editorial praise. In its dedica- tion, the 1963 Calyx said his “con- tribution... transcends all verbal tribute...” President Cole singled him out for praise in the 1963 graduation remarks, and Dean Gil- liam was accorded a standing ova- tion. Like all dynamic men in an aca- demic setting, he has helped build his own legend that future Wash- ington and Lee men will share. He is ever the English professor, and there are few graduates who, at one time or another, were not reminded politely but positively, of some breach of grammar or usage in Dean Gilliam’s presence. Generations of Washington and Lee men remember his big, broad- rimmed slouch hats, and his dis- tinctive walk. His sonorous, sometimes boom- ing voice will still echo through Washington Hall, but in his new office he may not need what is per- haps the most unnecessary piece of office equipment ever used at Wash- ington and Lee: an office “‘inter- com” system linking Dean Gilliam’s desk and that of his secretary, Mrs. Mildred Brownlee. When Dean Gilliam calls for Mrs. Brownlee on the intercom, the general effect is more like a public announcement that the Dean is at his desk. “I think he must answer his own echo sometimes,’ one of his associates observed. Happily for Washington and Lee, there will be a continuing echo for years to come of the good work that Dean Gilliam has done for Washingotn and Lee. Or PORTRAIT Of Dean Gilliam was formally presented to the Uni- versity on June 4 in a special cere- mony in Evans Hall. John F. Hendon, a member of the University’s Board of ‘Trustees who lives in Birmingham, Ala., presented the portrait to Washing- ton and Lee on behalf of a group of friends of Dean Gilliam. Presi- dent Fred C. Cole accepted the portrait for the University. Among those attending the pres- entation were members of the Board of ‘Trustees, members of Dean Gilliam’s family, and mem- bers of the University’s adminis- trative staff with whom Dean Gil- liam is closely associated in his work. The portrait, painted by William W. S. Wilson, of Birmingham, shows Dean Gilliam seated in his Washington Hall office. The steeple A Portrait For the Uniwersity of historic Lee Chapel is in the background of the painting. In presenting the portrait to the University, Mr. Hendon said: “In the minds of his friends, Frank J. Gilliam, over the past 37 years, has rendered a service to Washington and Lee equaled by few men in its history. Not only is the high quality of the student body today largely a result of his work, but also his staunch support of Washington and Lee in all of its worthwhile endeavors has been a real force in the standing of our University at the present time. This he has done with no thought of personal reward other than a deep satisfaction within himself.” “The work of Frank Gilliam will live on in generations to come,” Mr. Hendon said. Mr. Hendon reviewed Dean Gil- liam’s early career as a teacher, both in the United States and in the Congo, where he was an education- al missionary. “To me, his finest teaching be- gan when he became Dean of Stu- dents at Washington and Lee Uni- versity in 1931. Not the kind of teaching he did so well in the Con- go, nor the teaching of his classes in English from text book and lec- ture—but the teaching of wnchang- ing values—the appreciation of courtesy, the cherishing of friend- ships, the respect for truth, the de- sire for learning, and—above all else—the love of honor.” President Cole accepted the por- trait for the University, praising Dean Gilliam for his leadership in the admissions field. “No name brings forth more ad- miration and more expressions of friendship than that of Frank Gil- liam among his associates in the field of admissions, and among deans of students, and secondary school principals and headmasters across the country,” the President said. “He is respected for his forth- rightness and integrity, and his as- sociations with and helpfulness to others in education have been of immeasurable significance to this and other universities.” “Today,” President Cole con- tinued, “the South is looked upon as being a leader in the field of admissions, and no small part of this is the result of Dean Gilliam’s foresight and hard work. In recog- nizing the services of Frank Gilliam to this University through the pres- entation of this portrait to it, you show clearly that his work here is respected as it is over this region and over the country.”’ Dean Gilliam’s response to Mr. Hendon’s and President Cole’s re- marks are carried in full on another page.

THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Dean Gilliam’s Remarks of Response “T suppose that any occasion of retirement has a certain amount of sadness connected with it, but I know that any tinge of sadness associated with my retirement is com- pletely wiped away by the lively memory of the surging, rewarding years so crowded with happiness that have been the portion of Louise and me. These years have been crowned by what has been said and done here tonight. It is wonderful for me to know that this portrait will be a part of Washington and Lee, but even more wonderful is the friendship that conceived of and produced it. “This gift is typical of the experience that I have had at the hands of the members of the Board of Trustees, a group distinguished in ability, devoted in untiring SETUICE, and constant in their consideration of all of us whose lines have fallen into the pleasant places of Washington and Lee. It is no common thing to have enjoyed friendship with such men as Mr. Baker, Mr. Martin, Mr. Davis, and such representatives of the Board as those who are here now. AN IMPETUOUS DECISION “As I look back tonight across just half a century, to a September aay fifty years ago this fall, when I came to the campus as a freshman, I realize that many decisions of my life have not been the result of careful, deliberate consideration, but rather impetuosity. I know that Frank Gaines and Fred Cole can confirm this statement all too “well! But I know also that two decisions that might well be called impetuous have been the wellsprings of the greatest happiness that I could have chosen. “The first was in 1913. I had applied to and been accepted by one of the very large Eastern Ivy League col- leges, which I had never visited, but near which we were spending the summer. Late in August I went to the campus. It was undoubtedly magnificent but so over- powering in size and impressiveness that I quickly made up my mind that it was not where a small-town Virginia boy belonged. I went back to where we were staying and called Dr. Henry Louis Smith, who had been inaugu- rated as president of Washington and Lee a few months earlier. We all recognize that it was quite different in getting accepted at a college in 1913 and in 1963. Dr. Smith inquired if I had a secondary school diploma and whether I would be dependent upon the University’s scholarship assistance. My reply on these points produced .a..cordial invitation to enter Washington and Lee, and I did so a few weeks later. Bete es WAFFLES AND ENGLISH “The other decision was in 1926. Louise and I had been obliged to return from the Congo through her doctor’s orders, and I was at my mother’s in Lynchburg, looking forward to educational work in some connection, but not being in any great hurry to make a decision. One night in November the telephone rang. It was Dr. Shannon, head of the English department, under whom I had taken my major at Washington and Lee. He asked if I could come up and teach freshman English for him. I asked him whether he meant next February or next September. He replied that he meant the next morning, as he had an emergency vacancy to fill. I gulped, but concluded that I had as much courage as Dr. Shannon and accepted. I caught the five o’clock train out of Lynch- burg—one still rode trains into Lexington thirty-seven years ago—and Dr. Moffatt met me at the station, took me SUMMER 1963 lo the Dutch Inn, filled me full of waffles and the Eng- lish assignment, and I taught my first class at nine o’clock. Since then I have had my foot in the crack of the door and the University hasn’t been able to shut it. I think that I presumably am the prototype for the collaboration by Alexander Woollcott and Monty Wooley in The Man Who Came to Dinner. But there has never since been the slightest thought that I could have been as happy else- where. Certainly in the phrase of our beloved Henry Louis Smith, Louise and I have ever felt ‘peculiarly for- lunate.’ A RicH ENVIRONMENT “Lexington is in itself a beautiful place in which to live. { recall so well one afternoon when Mr. Davis was at my home. On leaving he remarked to me, ‘I wonder if you know how I envy you the privilege of living in Lexington, against the place in which I live and work.” “One is rich in the environment in which one lives here, but the greatest privilege has been in the associations with those at Washington and Lee: association with those in the Administration, under whom and with whom I have worked, and with every one of whom I have been proud to claim friendship personally and in the common bond of serving Washington and Lee. And I have had just the same type of reward with members of the faculty, first in teaching and later in administrative contacts. “But I know that you will understand if I say that the greatest thing has been the opportunity to have one’s task from day to day the coming to know as individuals the boys who in the final summation are Washington and Lee. There was the opportunity to learn to know many of them first in connection with their admission here; then when they came, to work with them over their problems, to see them fail sometimes, but far more times to see them move steadily ahead to the fruition of young manhood at its finest. ‘Two QUOTATIONS “T hope that the frame of reference that I use will not be misunderstood if I bring in two brief quotations: “In a recent biography of Queen Elizabeth the First there is a reference to Queen Elizabeth and her great councilor, Robert Cecil: ‘Their business was the art of gov- ernment, and they recognized no distinction between bust- ness and pleasure.” Certainly no work could have brought more of pleasure in the finest sense than my work in asso- ciation with students here—association that has gone on— into the years wilh so many of them as alumni. “The other reference is to a quotation from Carlyle: ‘Blessed is he who has found his work. Let him ask no other blessedness’” And 1 feel that I can humbly say that I feel truly blessed in the type of work that has been mine. “And from it all the one testament that I would give— even to this group that so little stands in need of it—is to the strength and fineness of Washington and Lee stu- dents as I have known them. ‘The old order changeth, yielding place to the new’ and some things pass to which we are attached and are reluctant to see go, but surely the eternal verities abide; and if omniscience could cail the score, I believe that it would attest to the tact that the Washington and Lee that you and I have known and loved is as great today as ever it was in the image that you carry in your heart—and that, with the blessing of God, it wili | surely move ahead to an even greater and stronger future.” A New Team of Deans Reorganization of Admissions Office Follows Dean Gilliam’s Retirement HE RETIREMENT of Dean Gilliam i Dean of Admissions will re- sult in a substantial reorganization of the University’s admissions staff and procedures, President Cole Says, in order “to adjust to the loss of a person of Dean Gilliam’s expe- rience and knowledge in the admis- sions field.” Simultaneous with his announce- ment of Dean Gilliam’s retirement, President Cole announced — the Board of ‘Trustees’ designation of Dean Gilliam as Dean Emeritus. President Cole said that Dean Gil- liam will continue to serve the ad- missions office as a consultant and that he will also serve as a special adviser to the president’s office. Under the new admissions organ- ization outlined by President Cole, Dean of Students Edward C. At- wood, Jr., becomes chairman of a faculty admissions committee; As- sociate Dean of Admissions James D. Farrar becomes Associate Dean of Students and Director of Admis- sions; and a new staff member, Lewis G. John, becomes Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Financial Aid. ‘The faculty committee will serve as an advisory and review body for the admissions program, president Cole said. “When a person with Dean Gil- liam’s vast knowledge and exper- ience steps down from a position of great responsibility that he has filled with such distinction for so 8 long, it poses an unusual challenge for his associates,’ President Cole said. “Washington and Lee is ex- tremely fortunate to have competent and resourceful men as Dean Atwood, Dean Farrar, and Mr. John to carry on. We are also fortunate that we may continue to call on Dean Gilliam for advice and other assistance.” such Dean Atwood, 40, became Dean of Students in February, 1962. He Aid and Scholarships, and in 1962, he was named Associate Dean of Admissions. He is a 1949 graduate of Washington and Lee. John, 26, who will assume his new duties as Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Financial Aid on September 1, is a 1958 hon- or graduate of Washington and Lee, earning Phi Beta Kappa hon- ors, a Fulbright fellowship for eco- nomics and political science study DEAN JOHN joined the Washington and Lee economics faculty in 1952, but re- signed in 1960 to become a con- sultant-investor relations for the General Electric Company, a_po- sition he held until his appoint- ment as Dean of Students.

Degrees Conferred Upon 226 Seniors At the University’s 1963 Gommencement Two Graduation Events Are Held in Evans Hall Because of Restoration Work at Lee Chapel; Chancellor Gaines Was One of Five Recipients of Honorary Degrees SUMMER 1963 HE FINAL exercises that culmin- T ate Washington and Lee aca- demic careers for 228 graduates this June were unique in at least one re- spect. For the first time since 1868, Lee Chapel was not involved in the commencement program, either as the scene for the graduation cere- mony or for the baccalaureate ser- mon. Its painstaking restoration had not progressed sufficiently far by early June to permit a time- honored tradition for Washington and Lee seniors to be preserved. Nevertheless, the activities that closed out the University’s 214th year went smoothly enough. ‘he beautiful Letitia Pate Evans Hall, a campus facility of ever-expand- ing usefulness to Washington and Lee, was used both for the bacca- laureate service and for the ROTC commissioning ceremony, and in both instances it provided an im- pressive and fitting setting for these memorable events. The weather was characteristical- ly ideal. Although the graduating class was not substantially larger than in other recent years, there seemed to be a larger number of parents and other members of sen- iors’ families present. Alumni Sec- retary William Washburn has tan- gible evidence of this—for the first time in many years over 1,000 per- sons—seniors, families, faculty, and staf_—were served at the alumni luncheon on the front campus lawn following the baccalaureate service. Of the 228 degrees conferred by President Cole at the Friday exer- (Continued on page 12) Paragraphs from the Graduation Addresses Baccalaureate: “Has it ever occurred to you how the tent- maker and the soldier, the apostle and the gen- erval—the general, our general, that is—actually stand shoulder to shoulder in their common ability to meet the most extreme adversity in calm confidence, to forgive their enemies and to translate their defeats into higher victories? To be sure, they lied under radically different circumstances, but in these respects they are truly brothers in spirit. “In the case of Paul, we see a man denied his legal rights as a Roman citizen, stripped and beaten and thrown into prison as the cause to which he devoted his life crumbles in ruins about his feet. Turning to Lee, we see a man also denied the right of citizenship; and subjected to an in- credible amount of verbal abuse in the midst of crushing defeat of the cause to which he had not only devoted his life but in defense of which he had led thousands to a futile death. “In that dungeon at Philippi, Paul was heard singing praises to God at midnight. In the mid- night of defeat, Lee came to Lexington to sing; to sing in the chapel which he built for his struggling, war-ravished little college. There in that chapel, the greatest of the generals came faithfully to worship, to pray, to sing, not only with the sons of his former comrades in arms but also with the warmly-welcomed sons of his for- mer enemies on the field of battle. There in that chapel, on this campus, he set such an example of positive forgiveness, of humility and courage, of gentleness and strength, that an incredibly powerful, spiritual impulse was sent surging through the entire South, indeed throughout the nation; and has continued, as we all know, down to the present day. “The breadth and depth of this forgiving spirit is beyond measurement. Again and again his biographers refer in awe to this quality in Lee.” “This amazing attitude towards his enemies as individuals he exhibited throughout the war, even as, in loyal defense of his native state, he Dr. SPRUNT relaxes with iced tea at the Alumni Luncheon. exerted all his energies and military genius to destroying the Union armies as such. For here was aman, that rare person, who could hate what his’chemies stood for without hating his enemies themselves. Here was a man who really obeyed Jesus’ command that we love our enemies. “This forging spirit he brought with him to Washington College. Never countenancing any expression of hatred or vengeance directed against the Yankees, he set his heart upon mak- ing this campus a place of healing for his coun- try’s deepest wounds—yes, his country’s, even though he was denied citizenship in it. “Thoughtful men have been asking ever since, how could he have done it, how could a man have lived a life like that under conditions of the nature which he faced?” “This then, I suggest, was Lee’s secret. His unwavering trust in the goodness and the power of God, God his Creator and his Redeemer. In a letter to a friend who was facing a time of af- fliction he put this secret in his own words. ‘We cannot help it, and we must endure it. We must exert all our patience and in His own good tume God will relieve us, and make all things work together for good, if we give Him our love and place in Him our trust.” —Dr. Davin W. Sprunt, University Chaplain Baccalaureate Sermon, 1963 THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Valedictory “For the first time, I began to ask ‘why’ about a lot of things that I had never thought to ques- tion. The fact that the end result of such ques- tioning sometimes was no different from my orig- inal attitude is of secondary importance. What is important is the way one arrives at an attt- tude—this is what marks the level of growth.” “My new credos are three in number: I must not be afraid to do something just because it ts different from anything I have done before; I must not be afraid to think new thoughts just because they don’t tally with my former ones; I must not be afraid to listen to the arguments of those who disagree—for if I refuse to listen to criticism, my own ideas will become stagnant. I may be swayed from my position or at least be forced to question it; or hearing the other side may make me more certain than ever that I am right. But regardless of the outcome, the im- portant thing is that I do not refuse to hear and to consider the other side of the question. This “As the members of this class are aware, the Honor System has been the subject of considerable discussion among students during the current academic year. There ave those who believe they would make the Hon- or System more effective through certain changes, and there are those who would keep its effectiveness by permitting no change. “T believe there is a tendency in each generation of students to think in terms of a certain uniqueness that applies only to their four years on this campus. As you have grown in experience and maturity here, you have become concerned over a number of problems and issues, some of which have no simple solutions. Because there are no easy answers, this should suggest that perhaps these concerns have been concerns of other student generations before you, and that they will surely continue to stimulate the minds of those who will follow you...” SUMMER 1963 tty e=—y attitude I believe to be my most valuable ac- quisition in the last four years. It was made pos- sible because there were people around me whose minds were further along in this process than my own. The college campus is one of the main places where objectivity of thought and the open mind should be in evidence. They are not neces- sarily taught in the classroom. They are best taught by example.” “Pick out something really controversial— something about which you are outspoken—the race question for example, regardless of how you feel about it. Listen again to the arguments of those who feel differently and then once more arrive at a decision; it may or may not have changed, but if you have been fair in making your determination, this is all another can ask of you.” —R. MEADE CHRISTIAN, JR., Richmond, Va. Valedictorian, 1963 The President's Remarks “Cynicism is deadly, and it’s cowardly as well. It is the easy way out, and it has a certain appeal for young people and older ones, too—from time to time. However vigorously we may debate our problems, we cannot afford to be cynical. “The mechanics of the Honor System are not im- mutable, but the principle that undergirds it is un- assailable There have been changes in the procedures and applications of the Honor System in the past, and there will likely be changes in the future that will evolve from proper debate and considered decision by the students who are charged with the responsibility of its administration.

Cotrez, President Graduation Remarks, 1963 (Continued from page 9) cises on June 47, twenty-nine were bachelors of law, forty-three were bachelors of science in commerce, twenty-five were bachelors of sci- ence, two were bachelors of science with special attainments in chemis- try, twenty-four were bachelors of arts in economics or political sci- ence, and 105 were bachelors of arts in the liberal arts and sciences. Among the honor graduates were two with summa cum laude diplo- mas—Timothy G. Ireland in the School of Law and R. Meade Chris- tian, Jr., a pre-medical student in the College who was the class vale- dictorian. One law student gradu- ated magna cum laude and six stu- dents in the College achieved this distinction. Among the cum laude graduates were four in the School of Law, nine in the School of Com- merce and Administration, and nineteen in the College. One departure from the usual commencement program involved the selection of the University’s own chaplain to deliver the bacca- laureate sermon. The reaction of seniors, their families, and the fac- ulty to Dr. David Sprunt’s sermon suggested that it was a choice long overdue. and one that the Univer- sity might consider more frequent- ly in the future. For the commissioning ceremony for forty-seven senior cadets in the University’s Army ROTC program and four other seniors, an address by the Chief of the Army’s person- nel operations, Maj. Gen. Stephen B. Hanmer, was the highlight. Gen- eral Hanmer outlined responsibili- ties and challenges faced by new oficers before he presented the forty-six reserve commissions and one regular army to ROTC gradu- ates. He also presented Marine re- serve commissions to three Wash- ington and Lee seniors and a na- val reserve commission to another.

Dr. FRANCIS PENDLETON GAINES, Chancellor of Washing- ton and Lee University. When Washington and Lee University this day honors Francis Pendleton Gaines, in a real and fitting sense it is honoring itself, for Dr. Gaines personified this University for more than a generation. Only one man served as pres- ident for a longer period than Dr. Gaines, and none served with greater distinction or with greater devotion to the institution. A native of South Carolina bui one who was brought up as a Virginian, Dr. Gaines came to Washington and Chancellor. Lee in 1930 at the age of 38, already recognized as a scholar and teacher of outstanding merit, already with experience as a college president at Wake Forest College. The 29 years of his administration that lay ahead were to be years of challenge and opportunity, years of progress and growth for Washington and Lee. The measure of Dr. Gaines’ success is recorded in the increase of the Uni- versity’s resources and in the increase of its stature as one of the nation’s leading colleges for men. When he retired from the presidency in 1959, the University was comforted by the knowledge that he would remain a resident of this community and that his service to Washington and Lee would continue in his new role as Distinguished as he was as a college administrator, as notable as he is as an expositor of Lee and of the South, Dr. Gaines is honored here today more for those personal qualities of kindness and generosity that are synonymous with his name in the hearts of thousands of alumni and others associated with him. He resisted steadfastly the mounting pressures in higher education that sometimes removed the college president from close contact with students and faculty, and his interest in the happiness and welfare of all his associates, past and present, remains warm and sincere. In behalf of all those who have been moved by the eloquence of his oratory, those who have known the joy of his wit and humor as a teller of stories, and those who have benefited directly and indirectly from his contribu- tions to higher education, this University, with gratitude and affection, confers upon Francis Pendleton Gaines its degree of Doctor of Laws. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE the seniors, faculty, and others in the audience rose to give standing ovations to two men whose lives are woven into the fabric of Wash- ington and Lee. Dr. Francis P. Gaines was applauded when the University’s honorary degree of Doctor of Laws was bestowed upon him. Dean Frank J. Gilliam was honored by the audience when President Cole announced Dean Gilliam’s retirement as Dean of Ad- missions. In all, the University conferred five honorary degrees. In addition to Dr. Gaines, four other distin- guished Americans were honored, among them two graduates of the University. Dr. Thomas D. Clark, Distin- guished Professor of History at the University of Kentucky, received the Doctor of Letters degree. His citation said, in part, “By virtue of his accomplishments as scholar and teacher, Professor Clark adds unusual lustre to the distinctive SUMMER 1968 The recipients of honorary degrees pose with PREstDENT COLE following the commencement exercises.

Sprouse, 28, was unable to attend. service rendered our society by those who teach in the _ institu- tions of higher education.” Dr. Paul Neff Garber, resident Bishop of the Richmond Episco- pal Area of the Methodist Church, was awarded the Doctor of Divin- ity degree. Bishop Garber’s citation declared that “While the achieve- ments of an individual in only one career field are often sufficient to warrant the admiration of his colleagues on occasions such as this, praise is all the more fitting when that person has successfully de- ployed his notable talents to serve two outstanding careers. Such a man is Bishop Garber, who has won deserved recognition as a scholar and educator and as a world leader of the Methodist Church.” Alumni honored were Benjamin L. Rawlins, ’30, secretary and as- sistant general counsel of the Uni- ted States Steel Corporation, and Philip D. Sprouse, ‘28, United States Ambassador to Cambodia. Both received Doctor of Laws de- erees, and Ambassador Sprouse’s degree was conferred in absentia. Mr. Rawlins’ citation said, in part, “As the corporate organiza- tion of U.S. Steel has grown and evolved during the _ thirty-three years since Ben Rawlins first be- came associated with a Chicago division of the firm, so has his mea- sure of service and responsibility erown in a career of steady ad- vancement. ‘Today, as Secretary and Assistant General Counsel, he brings wisdom and insight to the affairs of an industry whose activi- ties affect the lives of all of us.” Ambassador Sprouse was praised as a man who had risen through the Foreign Service career ranks to the highest level. “The presence of Philip Sprouse in the American embassy in Cambodia is a source of pride to his University and his associates among the faculty and alumni, but this is a pride that can 13 be shared by all Americans,” his citation said. “Because of his post in a critical area of ideological con- flict, Ambassador Sprouse is indeed serving in the front line of Amer- ican diplomacy, and he is doing so with noteworthy distinction.” For his remarks to the gradu- ates, President Cole spoke to the future associations which the 1963 seniors would have with other al- umni of Washington and Lee. He recalled his first encounters with alumni when he became president four years ago, and he said: “Everywhere I went, I found Washington and Lee men not only successful in the ways in which they earned a living, but success- ful in the ways in which they ap- pled their talents and abilities to the service of their communities and fellowmen.” President Cole predicted that the 1963 seniors would find themselves drawn into a “similar pattern of willing service in whatever capaci- ties you are best qualified.” ‘The president made personal ref- erence to a number of alumni, most of them deceased or retired, whom he felt suggested the unselfish ser- vice of Washington and Lee men, and he assured his audience that the list of such alumni “‘is virtual- ly endless.” President Cole referred to his 1962 graduation remarks in which he quoted the late Eugene N. S. Girard, ’34. Girard wrote, when a senior, that there is an “essential fineness” about Washington and Lee that affects all those associated with the University. “You, too, as graduates, are now a part of this spirit, this fineness, and you, too, will come to see this fineness and feel this spirit more directly as you grow older.” A limited number of copies of the Baccalaureate Sermon are available through the Office of Information Services. 14 The Recumbent Statue has a thorough bath and brushup. oe August Reopening For Lee Chapel By A. PRESCOTT ROWE Lee Chapel Curator OLKS AT WASHINGTON AND LEE had come to accept the high board fence and the paraphernalia of construction work around Lee Chapel as so much campus scenery. But in late May and early June, after a year of busy activity, there were unmistakable signs that work on the extensive restoration of the Chapel was nearing completion. University officials were seen tak- ing visiting dignitaries down the hill for a peek inside, and curious others among the faculty and staff began risking the scornful looks of the project foreman and _ his crew to get a preview of what the restored building would be lke. What they saw became the subject of much campus conversation, and all looked forward to the reopen- ing of the popular historical land- mark. Although — original — planning called for Lee Chapel to be re- opened in time for the University’s commencement on June 7, the care taken in the $370,000 restoration project altered the initial schedule. Representatives of the John P. Pettyjohn Company of Lynchburg, general contractor for the project, indicated in early April that they could not have their crews out of the Chapel before July 1. ‘The University’s Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, D. E. Brady, Jr., said in May it would take most of July to put the finish- ing touches on the nearly 100-year- old Chapel. A final coat of paint, the re-setting of the original pews, the installation of specially-made light fixtures for the auditorium, return of the restored Erben pipe organ and the laying of podium carpeting were among the _last- minute tasks. And outside, land- scaping would be required to re- move the scars of excavations and THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE other necessary assaults on Univer- sity greenery. Plans call for Lee Chapel to be re-opened on August 4 when Lex- ington area residents will have an opportunity to get a preview of the restored building. ‘Tentative sche- duling provides for a special eve- ning open house for area alumni on August 9. A formal rededication ceremony is being planned for early Fall after Washington and Lee’s 215th aca- demic year gets under way. No date has been set for this ceremony. The complete restoration of Lee Chapel was started over a year ago after the Ford Motor Company Fund of Dearborn, Mich., gave Washington and Lee $370,000 for the undertaking. ‘The funds were given to the University to “help preserve one of the South’s most prized landmarks,’ the Fund’s trustees said. Although emphasis in the Chapel project was placed on restoration, certain changes were made in both the auditorium and the first-floor museum to enhance the Chapel’s appeal to the more than 30,000 persons who visit it annually. In the auditorium, the pews have been rebuilt and altered slightly for comfort, provisions have been made for a public address system, and the color scheme for the walls has been changed from a buff tone to off-white. ‘The woodwork and pews have been painted white with “a hint of blue” based on the light appearance in old photographs and the color found when architects scraped original woodwork down to what was presumed to be the first coat. The familar overhead lghts have been removed from the audi- torium and specially-made fixtures have been mounted on the walls and around the outside base of the balcony. ‘The fixtures—brass with glass chimneys and _ globes—are modeled on original fixtures and SUMMER 1968 photographs of the Chapel’s in- terior taken during Robert E. Lee’s funeral on October 12, 1870. Lighting for the recumbent statue is inset in special coves in the chamber ceiling. Floodlights also have been rigged in the ceil- ing to accent the Valentine statue of General Lee. In the museum area on the first floor, work was concentrated on remodeling rather than _ restora- tion, with the exception of Lee’s office. The office will be arranged along the same lines as Lee left it in September of 1870. The furni- ture for the room has been re- furbished by the Lynchburg firm that worked on the pews. ‘The museum display area and shop are done in a beige motif with monk’s cloth stretched over several of the walls to aid in hanging por- traits and photographs. In the cen- ter of the main room of the mu- seum is a three-sided screen from floor to ceiling that is designed to provide additional display area. ‘The screen surrounds the marker that designates the spot where Gen- eral Lee was buried from 1870 to 1883. In 1883, his body was moved to the Lee family crypt in the rear of the Chapel. Whenever possible, original floor- ing and millwork were put back in the Chapel to keep the restora- tion work as authentic as possible. Each piece of flooring in Lee’s of- fice and in the auditorium was re- moved and numbered so it could be replaced in the same location. “Pat” Brapy, right, tells MR. Ray C. Koot of the Ford Motor Company Fund about Chapel progress. The same was done with the roof slate. Certain extensive improvements were made in the Chapel’s struc- ture designed to assure the future preservation of the building and its contents. Steel beams in the floor and the roof plus concrete sub-flooring for the auditorium were installed. At one point in the project, the floor and roof of the Chapel were com- pletely removed. A fire alarm sys- tem has been installed along with safety devices to detect leaks and faulty equipment operation. ‘The Chapel has been air-conditioned completely to aid in preserving the million-dollar art collection that hangs there and the hundreds of Lee memorabilia that again will be displayed in the museum. A special underground room— not visible to the public—houses sizeable heating, air-conditioning and electrical units. Additional equipment has been installed in the previously unused area above the auditorium ceiling. ‘The Chapel’s Erben pipe organ was rebuilt by a specialist in Rich- mond. It has been put back in its place in the balcony and will be played for special occasions. A special University staff is still working on the cataloguing, iden- tification and restoration of the items that were removed from the museum display area in June, 1962. Each item from the Chapel has been assigned a catalogue number and complete data has been col- lected on the item and recorded on a number of cards referring to the donor and the general description of the piece. New display cases with special lighting will be moved into the museum late this summer. ‘Tenta- tive plans call for only a portion of the items owned by the University to be displayed at one time. The exhibits will be rotated in order that all the items of value can be displayed during a year. 15 ‘““Management”’ of News: 16 An Unsolvable Dilemma? How Far Should, Or Can, the American Government Go In Its Attempts to Control the News in Times Of Cold War Crisis? Professor O. W. Riegel, Head Of the Department of Journalism and Communications and An Authority on Propaganda, Discusses a Current Controversy INCE THE CUBAN CRISIS of last October, it would ap- S pear that virtually everybody has had something to say, usually with great heat, on the subject of the “management” of news. The periodical press has de- voted massive space to the subject, editors and broad- casters have called meetings to pass resolutions about it, Congressional committees have investigated it, the President has summoned private groups to confer about it, teachers have made it a subject of class- room discussion, and all kinds of other people, ranging from politicians to clergymen to letters-to-the-editor writers, have spoken their minds about it from any forum they could command. Among the voices pro- voked to comment must now be counted the Alumni Magazine, which ordinarily doesn’t concern itself with subjects so controversial. Why the furor? There is nothing new about the manipulation of information. Governments, as well as anyone else in a position to do so, have “managed news” since there was news to manage. Much of what passes for history and literature today was the work of talented writers encouraged by subsidy or privilege to glorify a ruler or an elite (translate: Image-making public relations). Someone has aptly called history itself the propaganda of the victorious. Modern his- tory is full of “managed news,” the staging of events to make news, and image-making of all kinds, includ- ing the Ems Telegram, the Zimmermann Note, the domestic and foreign propaganda and cultural activi- ties of national governments in both war and peace, the “good news” of the religions of the world, and the organization of “publicity procedures” by virtually PROFESSOR O. W. RrEGEL established his name in the field of propaganda and public opinion research as early as 1934 when his book, MOBILIZING FOR CHaos, was published, giving insight into the causes and effects of govern- ment control of the press and other mass media. During World War II, he was a propaganda analyst for the Office of War Information and later served in Central and Southeastern Europe as an OWI editor. He joined the Washington and Lee faculty in 1930 and became director of the Lee Memorial Journalism Foundation in 1934. He continues to serve as a fre- quent consultant to the U. S. Government. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE everyone. I have never heard of a government agency issuing a story on the bad job the agency has been do- ing, any more than I have of a university publishing articles on its mistakes and shortcomings in an alumni magazine, or of a candidate for public office making a speech on his ignorance of economics. In brief, the urge to disseminate “beneficial” news, and to gloss over or omit news that is detrimental or embarrassing, is universal, and this is true whether the case concerns an individual, a private agency, or a government. Nor has there been any lack of publicity about the special eagerness of governments to manipulate the public mind. In the period of disenchantment after World War I, a great many books and articles ap- peared “debunking” war aims and “exposing” govern- ment propaganda. Between the wars a number of us were beating the drums to warn of an inevitable catas- trophe if news manipulation were not brought under control. Matt Gordon, among others, wrote a popular book entitled, “News Is a Weapon.” Since World War II and the beginning of the Cold War, the amount of writing and speaking on manipulation, distortion, “brain washing,” and similar concepts has grown be- yond calculation. It is true that most of this publicity, at least in this country, seemed to refer to Nazis, Communists, and to “bad guys” generally. Indeed, most of this writing and speaking, at least by implication, called attention to the truthfulness and honesty of the United States as contrasted to the wickedness of our opponents abroad. This observation leads to what I believe to be the cause of the current tempest over “news management.” It seems to me that the nation has suffered a deeply traumatic experience, which might be described as a painful awakening to a situation which many believe to be inevitable but which does violence to American tradition, in some cases to legal precedent, and, most important of all, to the American’s image of himself. Three Times in Three Years One face of this traumatic experience is the discov- ery that his government can deliberately deceive not only its enemies, which would be unlikely to produce any great protest, but also the rest of the world, in- cluding the American people. Three times in three years the American people were plainly misled by their own government: In 1960, when President Eisen- hower told a whopper about Francis Powers and his U-g; in 1961, when the government’s part in the Bay of Pigs fiasco was misrepresented; and in 1962, during the Cuban crisis, when the Kennedy administration insisted that (a) Kennedy canceled a trip and returned to Washington because he had a cold; (b) a change in the movement of naval vessels was caused by a hurri- SUMMER 1968 cane; and (c) there was “no information indicating the presence of offensive weapons in Cuba,” although the presence of such weapons had been reported to the President six days earlier. The other face of the traumatic experience de- rives from the first, and consists of a confrontation with the problem (which was there all the time), of whether, in a Cold War situation in which any error of procedure or negotiation might result in a nuclear holocaust, the government is justified in any kind of manipulation—les, distortion, censorship— that in the judgment of the government is necessary for the preservation of the security of the country. ‘This is an extremely painful issue, as it involves not only self-image, but a challenge to some of the most revered traditions of ‘the American way’ and the democratic system. The issue is so painful, indeed, that there isa tendency to avoid facing it frontally and, to mix the metaphors, push it under the rug. Arguments For and Against Simplified, the extreme opposing theoretical argu- ments might be stated somewhat as follows: Those who advocate full disclosure argue that candor and completeness in the dissemination of in- formation to the people, with the making of decisions by democratic processes on the basis of an informed electorate, is what this country is all about and one of the main points that distinguishes it from authori- tarian nations, Communist and other varieties. ‘The American tradition includes such concepts as_ self- determination of peoples, open covenants openly ar- rived at, and the First Amendment to the Constitu- tion, which says, in effect, that government shouldn’t monkey around with the free flow of information. The seriousness of the Cold War, and the threat of nuclear death to man, woman and child in any part of the country, according to this argument, means that it 1s all the more important that people whose lives are at stake be aware of what actions, negotiations, and com- mitments, wise or foolish, are being entered into by those who represent them. Most people grant that secrecy and suppression are justified in time of war, but the management of news on the excuse of hot wars and cold wars has been going on since 1941, or 22 years, with no change in sight, so that it could very well become a permanent fixture in American life. Moreover, the argument goes, news is not managed to keep real secrets from the enemy (in the cases cited above the Russians knew the facts anyway), but to shield government from embarrassment and opposi- tion to any kind of Cold War gamesmanship it hap- pens to be playing at the moment. Whether govern- ment policy is best for the country and the security 17 CONGRESSMAN JOHN E. Moss (D-Calif.), chairman of the House subcommittee on government informa- tion, spoke at the annual SIPA convention at Wash- ington and Lee. He cited the need for “new, clear guidelines” in planning for the necessary controls which must apply to news dissemination in periods of national peacetime crisis. of its people, the people could not possibly know, as they lack the facts and the knowledge of government intentions (ours and the enemy’s) upon which decis- ions can be made. Wartime Delicacy The opposing theory holds, quite simply, that all of this is sentimental nonsense, completely unrealistic when the nation is faced by ruthless enemies who in- dulge in every kind of deception and trick and are quite capable of launching a brutal, annihilating sur- prise attack at any time. We are in fact, according to this argument, at war, and a war of such a nature that every move is a matter of the greatest delicacy, in- volving always the possibility of a disaster. These moves in defense of the security of the country can- not be made with a badly informed, emotional, and sometimes disloyal mob kibitzing over the govern- ment’s shoulder and showing the enemy the govern- ment’s hand. The principle of full and fair disclosure is all right when the nation is at peace and secure, but sacrifices must be made when a wrong move or a badly timed or compromising disclosure might injure the nation’s prestige or threaten its security. The distress caused by the new situation, I think, has not been so much a reaction to the government’s argument for news management as to the manner in 18 which the government has stated it. Most people, at least those I know about, are patriotic and go along with the government argument to a greater or less de- gree, depending upon a variety of factors, such as their estimate of the seriousness of the case, personal permissiveness, and political loyalties. Among my own students at Washington and Lee I find general approval of the government’s manipulation of news during the Cuban crisis and no articulate opposition to it. Nevertheless, the real shocker for many people, and especially for many newspapermen, was the frank and open avowal of news management as a guiding principle of national policy. Spying and Lying A brazen realpolitik on information was fore- shadowed by the U-2 affair, in which the govern- ment acknowledged both spying and lying, but de- fended itself as taking the only course possible when one is dealing with a ruthless enemy that hermetical- ly seals off all normal and peaceful channels of in- formation regarding its capacities and intentions. Late last October, when criticism of news management in the Cuban crisis began to mount, Arthur Sylvester, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs, framed the principle in the following words: “News flowing from actions taken by the government is part of the weaponry of the cold war.... In the kind of world we live in, the generation of news by actions taken by the government becomes one weapon in a strained situation. The results, in my opinion, justify the methods we used.” At the same time both the State and Defense departments issued directives enforcing tighter supervision of contacts of their officials with the press. It is of interest to note that this bold announce- ment that the manipulation of information is standard policy, and that ends justify the means, comes at a time when the academic personalities, scholars and experts of all kinds, have more important advisory and executive positions in government than in any previ- ous administration. Academic traditions of freedom of knowledge and of “following the search for truth wherever it may lead’? do not seem to have exerted much visible influence on the government’s position on information. We may be making progress toward the Utopia of that darling of the intellectuals, Walter Lippmann, who would filter information (and power) through an elite of scholars and experts. The doctrine that information is a weapon to be used by government like guns, food, diplomacy, bombs, and all other weapons in the arsenal of power has implications beyond the scope of this brief article. The press has been faced with a particularly acute dilemma that has not been resolved, and may never THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE be. The press is patriotic, it is deeply involved in the Cold War, and it dare not appear to embarrass and sabotage the government’s security measures even if editors here and there might disagree with certain as- pects of policy. It wants to do the right thing, so much so that many of the disclosures regarding our Cuban policies and actions did not originate with the press but rather with Republican politicians. Yet, when President Kennedy suggested nearly two years ago, after the Bay of Pigs, that the press adopt some form of self-censorship in the national interest, the idea was rejected by spokesmen for the press as incompat- ible with the traditions of a free press. How is it pos- sible to reconcile acquiescence to suppression and manipulation of information with the traditional ob- ligations of the press to disclose and inform? Is the answer “responsible” editing? What does that mean? How does a “responsible” editor distinguish between what is generally harmful to the nation’s security and what is merely embarrassing to the Administra- tion? If the government is lying this time, how will we know next time whether it is lying or telling the truth? An Unsolvable Dilemma? These questions leave many newspapermen (and anyone else who thinks about it) unhappy and un- casy. The dilemma may be unsolvable if the choice is between having a Cold War and having freedom of information. Apparently we can’t have both. As things now stand, the press, confronted by the openly avowed Sylvester doctrine of news management, rejects it. Yet there is a consensus of agreement that a certain amount of news management was necessary and right in connection with the October Cuban crisis. One has a feeling that to the press what Mr. Sylvester said wasn’t too wrong, but he shouldn’t have said it right out loud like that. This is something like the matter of spies; it is all right to have spies, but one should never admit it. Some segments of the press are now asking for “guidelines,” which I interpret to mean that while they reject the idea of news management as an official policy of government, they are willing to go along, as good citizens, with management that would have a genuine, demonstrable effect upon the nation’s security. With covert and guerilla wars, hot or ideological, spreading in all parts of the world, and with the American public sharply divided on such questions as nuclear disarmament, propaganda policy, foreign alliances, foreign aid, and civil defense, the guidelines will be difficult to draw and still more difficult to abide by without continuous argument and complaint. Meanwhile, the State Department directive super- vising press contacts has been withdrawn and the De- fense directive has been somewhat relaxed; but noth- ing has really been resolved. ‘There surely will be an- other affair of managed news, and another furor, and another crisis of conscience as people confront again the effects upon communications of the nuclear age.

SUMMER 1968 21 News of the University A Grant from the AEC; Promotions for Professors GRANT OF $15,000 from the A Atomic Energy Commission to the Department of Physics at Washington and Lee University has been announced by President Fred C. Cole. ‘The funds are to be used for the purchase of equipment for an un- dergraduate course in nuclear sci- ence which Washington and Lee will introduce in the second semes- ter of next year, President Cole said. The nuclear science laboratory is to be equipped with radiation counting and detecting equipment, sources of radiation for study and experimentation, monitoring de- vices for the safety of students and faculty, and other related items, ac- cording to Dr. Edward F. Turner, head of Washington and Lee’s physics department. Biggest single items of equipment will be a spec- trometer scaler and a neutron how- itzer, Dr. ‘Turner said. The award includes funds for the fabrication of a two-curie plu- tonium-beryllium neutron source. The Atomic Energy Commission will lend to Washington and Lee a quantity of plutonium for use in the source. Dr. ‘Turner said the AEC grant enables the department to meet a vital need in its undergraduate curriculum. Laboratory space for the new equipment was provided in the construction of Washington and Lee’s new $1,500,000 science facilities, but the introduction of a course in nuclear science was de- layed until the necessary equip- ment became available. 22 In addition to students in the Department of Physics, chemistry students also will make use of the nuclear science laboratory for study in qualitative analysis. Dr. ‘Turner is one of three col- lege professors scheduled to par- ticipate in a research program this summer at the Savannah River Laboratory of the U.S. Atomic En- ergy Commission. He will spend three months at the Aiken, S.C., plant of the AEC furthering atomic research and acquiring new re- search and teaching techniques. ‘The summer research will aid Dr. ‘Turner in establishing the nuclear science laboratory made _ possible through the AEC grant. The spe- cial summer research assignment for Dr. ‘Turner is part of a new pro- gram sponsored by the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies (ORINS). Dr. ‘Turner, Dr. Gerald T. Cowley of the University of South Carolina’s biology depart- ment and Dr. Charles H. Barron, Jv., of the department of chemical engineering at Tulane University are the first professors assigned to the ORINS Research Participation Program. ™ PROMOTIONS HAVE BEEN an- nounced for ten members of the Washington and Lee University faculty.

For the second year, the anniver- sary reunions were held simultan- eously with the School of Law’s John Randolph ‘Tucker Law Lec- tures, and the ranks of reunion al- umni were swelled by dozens of lawyers who returned to hear Col- gate W. Darden, Jr., former Vir- ginia governor and former presi- dent of the University of Virginia, deliver the fifteenth of this notable series of discourses on the law and related topics. Reunions were held this year for the classes of 1913, 1923, 1938, and 1953. here were forty-one mem- bers of the 1953 class on hand, thirty from 1938, twenty from 1923, and a remarkable twenty-two from 1913.

For recrea- tion, there was a golf tournament, a varsity baseball game, and a bus tour to Natural Bridge. The class banquets were the highlights of the weekend. R. A. “Cap’n Dick” Smith and T. R.

Souvenir class booklets, with letters from class members, were presented to the 50th and 25th anniversary classes. At the Saturday luncheon, Mr. McChesney presented President Cole with a check for $2,765, rep- resenting the contributions of the 1938 alumni to the 1962-63 Alum- ni Fund. Since that date, this fig- ure has risen to $3,275. The Law School Association held its annual meeting on Saturday af- ternoon and elected H.

Governor Darden’s “Tucker lec- tures dealt with “Random Thoughts on Government” with emphasis on the continuing inroads of the federal government on state responsibility. He reviewed thor- oughly the historical backgrounds and constitutional foundations of federal-state relationships. In his introduction of Governor Darden, President Cole delighted both Darden and alumni when he observed that the governor had per- formed such a good job as presi- dent of the University of Virginia that the Board of Visitors had found it necessary to replace him with a Washington and Lee man (Dr. Edgar F.

A New Catalog ASHINGTON AND LEE’S catalogue WX) issue for 1963-64 is a_vast- ly different and—hopefully—a_bet- ter bulletin than any _ previously published by the University. Prospective students, undergrad- uates, professors, and deans who use the book are finding it a bigger, heftier volume than before, and its editors hope that users are also find- ing it more attractive, easier to read, and generally more useful as a source of information about the University and its academic pro- orams. ‘The new volume was first dis- tributed to faculty and students on April 30, and the general response was one of pleasant surprise at the 26 catalogue’s “new look.’ Even the Ring-tum Phi was moved to com- ment editorially on the merits of the revisions. Characteristic of any major job of re-editing, some errors have subsequently been detected, but by and large, they have been few and of minor importance. ‘The new changes constitute the first major revision and redesign of the catalogue in this century. ‘The book has changed considerably since the early igoo’s, but the changes have been gradual. The most recent modifications took place in 1954 when the traditional gray cover was replaced in subse- quent issues by various shades of solid blue. Also in 1954, limited Redesigned and Substantially Revised, the University’s New Catalogue Issue Is Bigger and Better As a Promotional Piece For Prospective Students and As a Handbook for Current Ones uc typographical changes were intro- duced, along with the addition of a small number of photographs, but essentially, the catalogue has _ re- mained the same in format and size. Virtually everyone at the Uni- versity, including President Cole and the various deans, agreed that a revision and redesign of the cata- logue was in order. Although the content and the organization of the catalogue has been revised somewhat, the major changes in the the 1963-64 edition involve the physical appearance of the book. The dimensions of the new cata- logue are 6 7/8 by nine inches, as THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE One of seven tinted “divider” pages sepa- rating major sections.

A more attractive grade of paper and the addition of forty pages of new ma- terial and photographs make the new volume nearly twice as thick as previous University catalogues. A complete restyling of the ty- pography makes the volume far easier to read or scan. Previous Issues were printed by the letter- press method, and the type was kept “standing” from year to year and used over and over. As changes and corrections were added to the standing type, the new lines tended to stand out unattractively from the battered older type. Moreover, in many instances new material would be crowded onto a page in an at- tempt to place it where it belonged, or else 1t would be added where it would fit conveniently, rather than where it should go for proper un- derstanding and convenient use. ‘The general cumulative effect of years of this was undesirable. ‘The new catalogue also makes ex- tensive use of some fifty current photographs which now appear throughout the book in appropriate juxtaposition to the descriptive written material. In previous books, only four photographs were used, and the mechanics of the printing process determined their location in the volume. Replacing the solid blue cover is a photographic cover, a view of the Colonnade on the front and an aerial view of the campus on the back. Phe official title, Washing- ton and Lee Bulletin, and the date appear at the bottom of the front cover, while the word “Catalogue” is embossed vertically in white be- side the cover picture, which is printed in blue ‘“duotone.” ‘The printing process for the new edition is lithography, or offset, which permits great flexibility in design and use of photographs throughout the book. The printer is Whittet and Shepperson of Rich- 28 mond, a company that has handled numerous other printing assign- ments for the University. In revising and reorganizing the content of the catalogue, the edi- tors attempted to make the book more useful for the prospective student. Existing material relative to admissions procedure and ex- penses has been combined with descriptive material dealing with the general academic program, stu- dent life, and the University’s his- tory into a front section of the catalogue entitled “Information for the Prospective Student.” Editors also attempted to sepa- rate descriptive material from the rather formally stated rules and regulations that are a necessary part of the catalogue. New features of the catalogue include a “Correspondence Direc- tory” which suggests various offices within the University where pros- pective students or other interested persons can write for additional in- formation. There is a table of contents, de- noting the seven major sections into which the new book is or- ganized. Each section is separated by a blue tinted divider page which lists a sub-table of contents for that section. The major sections and principal subdivisions are: Information for the Prospective Student—Some Purposes of a Good College, The Growth of Two Cen- turies, the University ‘Today, The Academic Program, Student Life, Admissions Procedure and Entrance Requirements, Expenses for the 1964 Freshman, and Financial Aid and Scholarships. Rules and Regulations—Expens- es, Degree Requirements, Regis- tration, Academic Regulations, Student Activities, etc. The College—general and speci- fic information for students wish- ing to concentrate in degree pro- grams in the liberal arts and sci- ences and some social sciences. The School of Commerce and Administration—general and speci- fic information for students seeking preparation for business careers and bachelor degrees in commerce, eco- nomics, or political science. Courses of Instruction—detailed listing of courses offered in the var- ious departments of the College and the School of Commerce and Administration. ‘The School of Law—general and specific information for prospective law students. General Information and Mat- ters of Record—the customary list- ing of trustees, administrators, faculty, committees, and staff, along with the final record for the pre- vious year and the register of stu- dents. Also in this section are re- corded the University’s benefac- tions and endowed scholarships. ‘The process of reorganizing cat- alogue material and resetting the book in clean, new type brought interesting reactions from many members of the University’s facul- ty and staff. When various deans and department heads were asked to read proof of their sections in the new, improved typography, many found occasion to question or change wording and sequence that had been accepted and unchal- lenged for years. University officials hope that the result of the catalogue revision will be the publication of a volume that Washington and Lee will be proud to place in the hands of prospec- tive students and guidance counsel- lors. Washington and Lee, like many other good colleges and uni- versities, recognizes that its cata- logue is its principal means of rep- resenting the University to thous- ands of prospective students and their parents, and to many other persons as well. ‘There is a trend among colleges today toward mak- ing catalogues serve a_ valuable public relations function as well as the traditional utilitarian purpose. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE RESHMEN ENTERING Washington F and Lee in September, 1963, will have greater flexibility in choosing the courses they will study during their first year in college. The University faculty has ap- proved a change in the curriculum for the freshman year which will permit a freshman to select one course normally taught at the sophomore level. If a student chooses to take a sophomore course, he then post- pones taking one of the courses normally prescribed under the tra- ditional freshman curriculum. He must take the deferred course dur- ing his sophomore year, however. Purpose of the new freshman program is to offer entering stu- dents an opportunity to encounter new academic disciplines that are normally absent from secondary school curricula. Among sopho- more courses that 1963 freshmen may choose from are economics, fine arts, history, philosophy, polit- ical science, psychology, religion, and sociology. ‘The course chosen must satisfy one of the so-called dis- tribution requirements for the gen- cral A.B. or B.S. degrees. ‘The usual freshman curriculum is largely a continuation of work that has been introduced at the high school level. For graduation, a Washington and Lee _ freshman normally must have six semester hours of first-year English, six hours of first-year history, six hours of a foreign language, eight hours in natural science, and six hours of mathematics or six hours of Greek or Latin. The University conducts place- ment tests in English, history, mathematics, and foreign languag- es to help match student capabili- ties with courses of proper chal- lenge and _ difficulty. Increasing numbers of students are entering as participants in the College En- trance Examination Board’s Ad- vanced Placement program, in which case they may apply for placement in advanced college courses and for college credit for college-level work completed in sec- ondary school. All freshmen must take physical education, a course that cannot be deferred. The ROTC course in military science is optional. A More Flex'ble Freshman Year University officials hope the in- troduction of greater flexibility 1n- to the freshman year will be a bene- ficial challenge for those students who exercise the option to take a sophomore course. ‘The new plan places an added responsibility upon the freshman’s faculty adviser who must counsel the student in making a wise selec- tion of the optional course, as well as a wise selection in the freshman course which is to be deferred for a year. The flexible freshman year is a development growing out of a two and a half-year study of the gener- al A.B. curriculum by a faculty committee headed by the Dean of the College William W. Pusey, III. Faculty approval of the freshman plan came after the Curriculum Committee formulated the pro- eram and recommended it to the general faculty. ‘The general appraisal of the un- dergraduate curriculum was begun in the spring of 1960 and continued throughout 1960-61 and 1961-62 and into 1962-63. In addition to committee meetings in which the curriculum was discussed, several special faculty meetings were called in 1962 to consider special ques- tions posed by the study group. While these sessions of open de- bate often brought forth view- points of sharp difference, they did serve to emphasize that the current curriculum at Washington and Lee is essentially sound. The discussions also suggested that changes will be made in the University’s academic program only after the most inten- sive and thoughtful examination by a faculty of competent academ- icians. President Cole spoke of the cur- riculum study in his Founders’ Day report in January: many weekly “Universities like this one wisely move slowly and deliberately in changing curricula; good programs should not be abolished or modi- fied significantly without assurance that the changes or substitutions are indeed better for the students than what was offered before. Cur- ricula and course offerings are not improved solely by additions and rearrangements, but improvements can be and are being made within the existing offerings. Great breadth and depth is being achiev- ed within courses while new cours- es are being added. I am personal- ly much heartened and impressed by the intensive study that is being given to the curricula and I believe that all of us will take pride in the results of the work that is being done by the faculty in this regard.” SUMMER 1963 The Alumni Fund Is Over the ‘Lop for 1963! OR ONLY THE SECOND TIME In its k thirty-year history, the Wash- ington and Lee Alumni Fund has surpassed the annual goal estab- lished by the Alumni Fund Coun- cil. As of June 15, a total of 3,662 contributors had contributed $128,- 502.86 through the Fund toward the support and future progress of their University. “The announced goal for the year was $115,000. Both totals represent all-time rec- ords. ‘Che largest previous number of contributors was recorded in 1958, when 3,378 individuals made gifts totaling $113,681.79—also the previous high dollar total, but one which included some $14,000 ear- marked as a scholarship memorial for retiring alumni secretary Harry K. “Cy” Young. ‘The 1962-63 campaign was con- sidered by the Alumni Fund Coun- cil to be its first ‘full-scale’ solici- tation of alumni since the 1958-60 University Development Program. ‘The increase of the 1962-63 Fund over that of the previous year is dramatic. Last year, 2,607 alumni gave $84,298.84 to the Fund, short of the goal of $100,000. With two weeks to go until the end of the Fund’s fiscal year, as of this writing, there is a strong likeli- hood that the Fund total will swell even higher, possibly closer to the $140,000 figure. Executive Secretary William Washburn, who has carried out the Fund program devised by Donald M. Fergusson’s Alumni Fund Coun- cil, attributes the success of the cur- rent Fund to “happy combination 30 of many positive activities and the willing support of several hundred alumni workers.” He singled out for praise ninety- three class agents, the 101 regional agents, and a “small army” of other regional workers who made the per- sonal contacts with the 10,817 for- mer students who were invited to support the Alumni Fund. He also praised the leadership of the Alum- ni Fund Council, and the support and cooperation of the University administration and staff. A key factor in the success of the Fund was the Council’s decision to send to each contributor a hand- forged nail, mounted as a desk piece in plastic, that was used in the orig- inal construction of Lee Chapel. The Council sought to emphasize the fact that the memento was not so much a reward for giving to the Fund but, rather, a symbol of the support of many individual alumni who help shape the future of the University through their continued interest and active support. “We've gotten many, many Ilet- ters from alumni, thanking the As- sociation for making this kind of souvenir available,’ Mr. Washburn pointed out. “It’s apparent that these desk pieces will be a treasured possession of many of our alumni. We hope it will be a constant re- minder to them of the important part in the University’s future they continue to play as Washington and Lee men.” Mr. Washburn said that a full re- port of the 1962-63 Alumni Fund will probably be carried in the Fall issue of the Alumni Magazine.

Before taking on its regular agen- da, the Alumni Board heard a com- prehensive report from President Cole on current developments at the University, including a discus- sion of plans for the future use of Reid Hall for the Department of Journalism and Communications. Later, the Board passed a reso- lution which cited the traditional support of a strong faculty through application of Alumni Fund _ in- come, but also recommended that 41 some aspect of the 1963-64 fund be considered to assist the University with the Reid Hall renovation. The Board gave its approval to the proposed alumni directory pro- ject and requested the executive secretary to proceed with investi- gation and negotiations. ‘The Board also requested that the new presi- dent appoint a committee to dis- cuss the matter of an Alumni House with University officials. ‘The Pres- ident also is to appoint a commit- tee to make a thorough study of reunion planning and programs with an eye toward realizing larger attendance. The Board noted the outstanding response of alumni to the oppor- tunity to acquire the mounted Lee Chapel nail which was made avail- able through the Alumni Fund this year. A resolution from the Board commended the Alumni Fund Council under Donald H. Fergusson, ’51, for its conduct of the successful 1962-63 fund cam- paign. | Nine of the twelve members of the Alumni Board were present for the meeting. Pictured below are the three new members of the Alumni Board of Trustees elected at the June meeting. H. TyNnbDALL DICKINSON From William C. Washburn The Annual Statement Of the Executive Secretary AST YEAR at this meeting, I sug- le gested that in reporting any organizational year it was often necessary to mention a discourag- ing facet, and that the secretary always likes to get over that spot in the first part of the report. Last, year you will remember I mentioned this in connection with the Alumni Fund and the fact that we had not reached our goals. ‘The absolute reverse 1s the case today. ‘The 1962- 63 Alumni Fund is no rough spot at all—indeed it is the shining light of success and it is with a great deal of pleasure that I can report this to you today. Let me say at the very outset that every bit of the credit for the suc- cess of the Alumni Fund drive this year is due to the splendid cooper- ation on the part of the adminis- tration, from President Cole on down to the Alumni Board of ‘Trus- tees, the Alumni Fund Council, the faculty, and most especially the THomas W. Moses ninety-three class agents and over one hundred regional agents who made up the organization this year. 1 cannot emphasize enough their important role in this year’s success, nor can I fully express on behalf of the entire Alumni Association our very deep appreciation and praise. The Alumni Fund Council went to work shortly after this same As- sociation meeting last June. It met several times during the summer under the chairmanship of Don Fergusson and a program was es- tablished in which all of us placed great hopes. ‘The Council set goals of $115,000 for the dollar volume and a total of one hundred per cent participation in contributors. ‘This may seem unrealistic—that is, the one hundred per cent participa- tion—and yet, it is indeed the goal for every Alumni Fund drive. I wonder if any of you have any idea of the amount of preparation Rospert A. FULWILER, Jr. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE that is necessary to get this sort of campaign rolling. We began in the early summer to solicit our class agents; preparation of the printed material had to be accom- plished. I might pause here to pay a special thanks to President Cole who is responsible for the kickoff of the Alumni Fund campaign this year with his personal letter to each alumnus, which was so well re- ceived. The Alumni Fund Council met several more times during the fall and with commendable imagi- nat‘on hit upon the idea of putting an original Lee Chapel nail into some sort of a memento or souvenir The Alumni Association was host to the seniors at the annual smorgasbord, held this year in Evans Hall after the Natural Bridge Hotel, the usual scene of the affair, was damaged by fire in mid-A pril. for each contributing alumnus. This proved to be a very fine idea. I only wish it were possible for me to read some of the splendid letters which have been received in con- nection with the Lee Chapel nail project. It has made a tremendous impression upon those who have received it. I could go on at length explain- ing the intricate details of the fund campaign, but I think you are par- ticularly interested in the results. As of June ist—and I remind you that the fiscal year does not end un- til June goth—the Alumni Fund campaign has accumulated $124,620 from 3,500 contributors. ‘This is an SUMMER 1963 all-time record in terms of dollar volume and it is also a record in terms of number of contributors. Let me hasten to explain that in the year just prior to the Develop- ment Campaign, the Fund year of 1957-58, a total of nearly $100,000 was received from 3,378 contribu- tors. ‘That number of contributors amounted to 35.3 per cent partici- pation. ‘This year, we solicited 10,- 817 alumni and the June 1st total of 3,500 is therefore a 32 per cent participation. This does not quite reach the 35.3 per cent participa- tion in the previous high, although it does actually mean more con- tributors. We need to get some 39g more contributors to the fund in order to pass our previous per- centage record. If you will consider this just a moment, and I shall not labor the point, I only wish to report that while this participation of roughly 35.3 per cent is above average for all colleges, it is not in the area in which Washington and Lee should be. Other colleges and universities of our quality are getting much higher percentages of participation. It is my thought that this is our real challenge in the future. We must find means of reaching more alum- ni and securing their active and participating support. Undoubtedly our next year’s goals will be raised. I hope so, for this is the only way to really make progress. I am con- fident that Washington and Lee men will measure up to the task. Now let me pass to some of the other aspects of the Alumni Asso- ciation work. Those of you who are here today can look around you with pride at the evidence of growth and progress on the campus. We have tried to give a representa- tive picture of this development through the Alumni Magazine. ‘The new buildings are impressive addi- tions to the University and along with them have grown the instruc- tional programs for the students. Without fail, the alumni who in- spect these facilities and take a hard look at today’s academic programs are amazed at the progress which is being made. ‘The new buildings, the new dormitories, the new in- firmary, the new academic pro- erams, the new research grants—all of these things should be a source of great pride to every alumnus. I am happy to report that we seem to be in a very healthy posi- tion organizationally. This year we have chartered two new chapters, one in Little Rock, Arkansas, and the other in West Virginia around 33 the Fayetteville area. We now have a total of forty-one chapters. In the planning stage right now are new chapters in the Pensacola and Mo- bile areas. I have recently received an inquiry about the formation of a chapter in the Phoenix, Arizona, area. All of these chapters show evidence of new strength and in- terest. Quite naturally some of these meet more often than others, and yet, each one of these has a meet- ing at least once during the year. It has been my pleasure to per- sonally visit twenty different chap- ters this year. I have been to more meetings than this, but I am speak- ing now of twenty different chap- ters. In addition, we have an in- creasing number of occasions where our faculty and administration are getting out among the alumni chapters, and here again I am in- debted to President Cole and the administration. President Cole has visited a number of chapters. Dean Light has been to many, and in ad- dition has met with alumni on the occasion of several of the State Bar Association meetings. I have visited chapters with Dr. Edward F. Turn- Alumni fathers on hand to see their sons JR.), JOHN M. GRAHAM, JR., ’35 (J. M. IIT), (P. I. JR.), JoHn A. CuLLey, ’33 (JOHN O.) (F. O. Jr.). Alumni fathers not in the picture included D. AL 34 er and Dr. Wise this year and prac- tically the whole coaching staff was present at one of the New York meetings. I am trying here to sug- gest that there happily seems to be a new vigor among chapters and a new interest on the part of the fac- ulty and administration to visit these various places. In none of this have I included the different areas that the Admissions Office covers. While on this subject, I might mention one caution which I have in this matter. I think it must be obvious that the Association could not afford, not only in terms of money but in terms of time and per- sonnel and talent, to send a rep- resentative to every chapter that has a meeting during the year. Quite naturally the Alumni Asso- ciation is interested in having peo- ple from the University visit their chapter meetings. At the same time it would be, in my opinion, almost impossible that some one would be at each one of these chapters each year. What we are trying to do is get around to every one in the best way possible. In my opinion, there should be a concerted effort on graduate included, l-r, THomMAs W. HANCcock, 32 (STEPHEN D. CHESTER P. WHITE, ’38 (C. P. JRr.), RICHARD T. Epwarps, "99 , ALBERT M. FOWLER, the part of the chapters to continue their active program, although it may not be possible for a Univer- sity representative to get to them each year. This can be done by uti- lization of their own talent and personnel within their own chapter. Let me assure you, however, that where it is at all possible the Uni- versity and the Alumni Association will remain eager to help. Our Alumni Magazine continues to be our best channel of commun- ication from the University to its alumni. This magazine is sent quarterly to a mailing list of ap- proximately 11,200, including some 160 overseas, all with the hope of keeping you informed with the news and affairs of the University, as well as those of your classmates and college friends. I might add that this magazine goes to you and all alumni free of charge. This year, we put out exceptionally large mag- azines. We had three 48 page issues and one 32 page issue. In the realm of office records you may be interested to know that we maintain records and jacket files on some 12,500 alumni. Of these, 7,300 ), THomas E. Sparks, 35 (T. E. (R. ‘T. TID), THomas T. Moore, ’26 34 (JOHN M.), Joun H. Cooke, ’34 (JON A.), and FRANK O. Evans, ’30 LEN PENICK, ’30, WILMoT L. Harris, ’28, and SHERWOOD W. WISE, "92, THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE alumni have returned occupational questionnaires, and all of this in- formation has been punched into IBM cards and records. We are now able to formulate studies and pro- ceed with projects that will be of much interest to the University and the alumni. Very definite consideration will be given during this next year to the publishing of a new, updated alumni directory. A target date for this project is uncertain, as is final board approval, but with the infor- mation that we now have and with support of the IBM installation, the compiling of a directory is more feasible now than at any time in the past. ‘he occupational file is prov- ing helpful. We all realize that it must be kept up-to-date and some system must be arranged to check periodically on this matter. While thinking about future pro- jects for this next year, I know all of; you: are.. daterested .1n what thoughts are being given to an alumni house or an alumni hall. Your board of directors has not been unmindful of the need or the desirability of an alumni house. They have been working actively with University officials. It is their hope, and I am sure yours, that some definite progress might be made on this matter this next year. There are many other facets to alumni work. I will not take time to elaborate on them here but they do deserve mention. Our student- relations work continues. ‘The Alumni Association participates in the Freshman Camp, in order to acquaint new students with the work of the Alumni Association. Again, through the good use of IBM equipment, we are able to serve fraternities with better and faster records and this is making for a closer cooperation. ‘The Sen- ior Banquet given each year for the graduating class was held in our own Evans Dining Hall this year and met with great success. Home- comings and anniversary class re- reunions continue to be_ well- attended. ‘This past month we had reunions of four classes in conjunc- tion with Law Day and the John Randolph ‘Tucker Law Lectures. There is possibly some other better timing for reunions and I think I can assure you that your Alumni Board and the administration are constantly studying and reviewing ways and means to improve this aspect of alumni work. In closing, let me say that I have enjoyed this past year as secretary. I suppose my greatest thrill has been the success of the Alumni Fund. I wish to repeat that your Association is healthy and is grow- ing but I think all of us realize that we have only scratched the surface. There is much more that we should be doing and that we very definitely can do. This is a growing, expand- ing University. Our Alumni Asso- ciation must continue to grow and keep pace. I want to express my _ thanks again to President Cole and _ all University officials and faculty; to the Alumni Board; the Fund Coun- cil; the absolute army of workers in the regional and class agent pro- grams; and to many others—all of whom have given unselfishly of their time, effort, and talents. And finally to my office staff, which is truly the backbone of your Asso- ciation, my sincere thanks. Other alumni fathers and sons included, l-r, HERBERT G. J Morrison, ’25 (J. Hormes), SAMUEL A.

ROBERSON, JR. ’30 (BRUCE H.), JOHN C. 35 President Rodney Cook’s Report The Growth of New Chapters, Success of the Fund Mark A Memorable Year IXTEEN years ago this commence- ment, I was graduated from this great institution. Through these years, Washington and Lee has been the _ personification of beauty, dignity, wisdom, intellect, grace and love. You have given me the opportunity of serving our Uni- versity as its Alumni President and for this | am very grateful. It has been an outstanding honor for me and one I shall always look back upon with great affection. The year 1962-63 has been a good one for our University and an his- torical one. We have passed the dollar volume goal for the Alumni Fund only for the second time in our history. It is our largest fund per se. ‘he largest fund in the past was slightly over $100,0o00o—our grand total this year, as of today, is $125,000. This is a great improve- ment but still is far below what our University needs and far below what our alumni should be giving. Now our percentage of alumni who give, however, is still very low. We need to continue to work hard on the participation of every alum- nus and it is important that we hammer home the point that each of us must give in proportion to our ability, but, by all means, we 36 all must give something and give it each year. This is most important to the growth and development of our school. Every man who _ has been to Washington and Lee owes this University a great debt. Con- tributing to the Alumni Fund must be one of the ways that we can re- pay this debt. Also in the year 1962-63, we have added two new chapters—in Little Rock, Arkansas, and in Fayetteville, West Virginia. There are 135 mem- bers in the Little Rock Chapter and 67 in Fayetteville. All of us know the importance of active chapters. ‘They are the backbone of our University. So let me urge here that we continue to stay active in these groups and do our best in encouraging their growth. It is the camaraderie that is established in all our chapters that binds us closer together and in turn keeps us close to our University. There are three things I would like to mention to you today before adjourning—all of which will be considered this afternoon by your Board of Trustees and on which you will receive a full report. 1. The question of an Alumni House. Many alumni have urged that definite steps be taken toward that goal. Many things must be con- sidered here, and one, for example, is what of Col Alto? What are the possibilities there as an Alumni House? ‘This is an important matter and one concerning which we would welcome your thoughts. 2. The question of reunions and the best time to have them. How can we improve them and how can we increase attendance? And how can we go about increasing attend- ance at the General Meetings? 3. Then finally, the question of a new Alumni Directory. The last di- rectory was published in 1949. This is certainly something that needs attention and we are anxious to see a new one put out. Some investiga- tions have been made already and I would hope you may expect a new directory shortly. These are the primary things which will be considered in the Board meeting this afternoon, and we would appreciate any comments or suggestions from all alumni. May I express my appreciation to each of you and also to the new members of the Board of ‘Trustees. It has been a privilege to serve with such a group of devoted alumni. ‘Thank you very much.
