PARSONS, '54 A Heart Attack ‘Takes The Lite of a: Devoted Friend to All Alumni And a Faithful Servant Of Washington and Lee WINTER 1964 S THE RICHMOND News Leader said in an editorial, A is was a sad beginning of a New Year that brought word of the death of Dr. Francis Pendleton Gaines. Dr. Gaines was stricken with a heart attack in the late afternoon of December 31 while alone in the bed- room of his home on Lexington’s Estil Street. He died in the charming white brick house which he and Mrs. Gaines built upon his retirement as Washington and Lee’s president in 1959. The home’s location was a happy one for Dr. Gaines, for he lived close to young people he enjoyed so much. His next door neighbor was Professor O. W. Riegel, his long-time friend and close associate. Nearby were the Phi Psi, Phi Ep, ZBT, and SAE fraternity houses and their students, and across the street were At the ODK assembly on December 17, Dr. GAINES accepted the welcomin students on “the credentials of leadership,” and, right, once more the faculty apartments occupied by young professors and their families. He was, as he once remarked, still living “among my boys.” Death interrupted a happy time within the Gaines’ home. Although none of their three sons could be with them at Christmas, there were grandchildren visiting and all who knew Dr. Gaines can recall his. de- light in his grandchildren. Friends who visited the Gaines during the holiday remarked on Dr. Gaines’ good humor and_ high spirit. Back in 1959 he had stepped down from the presidency “for rea- sons of general health,’ and he had never been completely well since, but there was nothing to suggest the imminence of a fatal attack. I'wo weeks to the day before he died, Dr. Gaines stood once more before the Washington and Lee stu- dent body and faculty at the an- nual Omicron Delta Kappa “tap day” assembly. The leadership fra- ternity is nearing the 50th anni- versary of its founding on the Uni- versity’s campus, and in his intro- duction of Dr. Gaines, President Don Partington noted that it was particularly “fitting and proper” that the ODK speaker be the man who personified Washington and Lee’s leadership for twenty-nine years. With the exception of a hand- ful of law students who were un- dergraduates under Dr. Gaines, 4 none of the 1,200 students in the audience had known him as presi- dent. But they knew of him, of the Gaines legend to which Partington had referred, and when he got up to speak, the assembly rose with him and he was visibly moved by the long applause. He spoke on the ‘‘credentials of leadership,” and he spoke in a manner that few among his young audience had ever heard before. His former faculty associates could note that his voice lacked some of. its familiar resonance and often, when his quick mind brought words in racing succession, he demanded complete attention. But the effect was the same as always. His audience was spell- bound and, as was his custom, his words were a happy blend of the serious and the light-hearted. An admirer once commented that Dr. Gaines could “‘play an audience like an instrument,” sensing its response to him, and responding in turn. He did that this day, building to emo- tional peaks in his discourse on leadership and then breaking the tension with a quick line of humor that permitted him to resume his thesis on a more appropriate level. He spoke of positive character, the kind which he said “is an inner force that enables one to carry out a worthy resolution when the mood in which that resolution was born has passed away.” Dr. Gaines at- g ovation with closed eyes, left, then spoke forcefully to received the audience’s standing applause. tributed the definition to a former professor of his, and he referred often to it in his speeches. Dr. Gaines spoke also of epitaphs. He noted how they might range from the ridiculous to the sublime and how one of his hobbies was the collection of unusual ones. He gave a few examples and then closed his address by quoting the epitaph for historian John Richard Green: “He died learning.” Once more the assembly rose to applaud Dr. Gaines, and again he was visibly overcome by his audi- ence’s acknowledgement. Later, he remarked that he had not done a good job, but there was no student who would agree, for most had heard a real orator for the first time and would not forget the exper- lence. In retrospect, many friends com- mented on Dr. Gaines’ reference to epitaphs that day. The Board of ‘Trustees in its resolution on Dr. Gaines’ death suggested that “He died learning’? might well serve as his own epitaph. For, indeed, he was ever the scholar. Dr. Gaines’ scholarship began early. The seventh son of a Baptist minister, he learned to read at the age when most youngsters are learn- ing to talk. His great familiarity with the Bible began early, too, for it was his first textbook. His moth- ers teaching was so effective that when he reached school age he be- THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE ean in the fourth grade at Wythe- ville, Va. From then on, his prog- ress as a scholar was at an accel- erated pace—degrees from Rich- mond, Chicago, and Columbia, a teacher of English at Mississippi State in his early twenties, president of Wake Forest College at 35, presi- dent of Washington and Lee at 38. Dr. Gaines loved to joke about his swift rise in the academic world. He would quote an introduction he once received from a former stu- dent of his on the occasion of a reunion of Dr. Gaines’ pupils at Mississippi State: | “When ithis man came to our school, there were 152 members of the faculty graded in the strictest seniority and he was Number 152. And he surveyed that situation for about a year and he said this will never do. No! And the next year he married the dean’s daughter and his progress was remarkable!” Dr. Gaines did marry the dean’s lovely daughter, Miss Sadie du- Vergne Robert, who became for so many years the gracious hostess in the President’s House at Washing- ton and Lee. Dr. Gaines recom- mended similar marriages to the boss’s daughter for his students, as he told his ODK audience, “‘par- ticularly if, as I did, you love her.” When Dr. Gaines took over the Washington and Lee presidency in 1930, he found himself caught up in a climate of great change. The depression years challenged the survival of many colleges, but Dr. Gaines helped Washington and Lee not only to survive but to grow. In the process, he found that his role as college president was also grow- ing and changing. “When I came here, the admin- istrative staff consisted only of the president, the dean, the treasurer, and registrar,’ he recalled in an interview in 1959. “With the dean, I was the admissions committee, the discipline committee, to a large extent the curriculum committee, and what today we would call the WINTER 1964 development committee.” In short, he was the kind of president he most enjoyed being—close to the day to day routine of the college, close to the students he loved. But gradually—even he could not pinpoint the time the ‘transition began—the president’s broadening responsibilities took him more and more away from the everyday oper- ation of Washington and Lee. “T think the president’s duties changed when the college recog- nized its need for varied and gen- erous cooperation from those other Dr. GAINES with Dr. CoLe before the Colonnade. than its immediate family,” Dr. Gaines declared. “It became neces- sary to take the college to the sup- porting publics, not wait for them to come to it.” How well Dr. Gaines measured up to these new duties is reflected in the strength of Washington and Lee today. During his administra- tion the University’s assests increas- ed five-fold, Washington and Lee became a leader in advancing fac- ulty compensation, scholarship funds rose significantly. The Alum- ni Fund became a major source of strength, new buildings were added and older ones remodeled, the fac- ulty was strengthened and its hold- ers of the doctorate degree in- creased in number. In 1956, the Chicago Tribune, atter polling leading educators, named Wash- ington and Lee as one of the ten best men’s colleges in the country. How much Dr. Gaines’ personal charm and integrity figured in this progress is suggested by a remark he made to the Faculty Discussion Club, shortly before his retirement: “T never asked a human being for a dollar in my life.” In ways unrecorded in endow- ment and buildings, Dr. Gaines also contributed to Washington and Lee’s prestige and stature. He head- ed government committees, boards, and commissions on state and na- tional levels; he presided over edu- cational associations and directed impontant foundations. Fifteen col- leges and universities, including Washington and Lee last June, be- stowed honorary degrees upon him. When, in 1959, he turned over the University’s administration to his successor, Dr. Fred C. Cole of Tulane University, he reflected on his many years in office in this way: “No man could ask for a finer privilege. I go out of office without a single disappointment, except in my own performance. I have only happy and grateful feelings for all those who have supported me—the trustees, the faculty, my staff, the students, and the many good friends of this University.” Dr. Gaines welcomed the new president “with confidence and joy.” In the five years that were to follow, Dr. Gaines—now chancellor of the University—and President Cole sustained a close friendship of mutual respect and admiration. When the newspapers of January 1 told the public of his death at 71, 5 the sorrow of his passing touched countless hearts. Editorials and reso- lutions praising him and his service followed, and Mrs. Gaines received hundreds of telegrams of personal condolences. Dr. Gaines’ funeral service was conducted in Lee Chapel and he was buried in the Lexington ceme- tery. (ite. Chapel “was tilled, although bad weather prevented many from out of town from at- tending. Among the mourners were many college presidents, some Dr. Gaines’ former colleagues in the Virginia Foundation for Indepen- dent Colleges, of which he was one of the founders. Many alumni also were there, including some with whom Dr. Gaines had worked in his final effort with the University Development Program. ‘There were those whose associa- tion with Dr. Gaines spanned all of the thirty-four years he lived in Lexington, thirty-four years that, in sum, certainly constituted a “happy memory” for him. Those of us whose privilege it was to work closest with him knew of the dis- appointments and problems which come to all men. He could depend on our love and respect. He is for all who knew him a happy memory of kindness and generosity. Each of us treasures memories of this man. I recall the busy day at a newspaper desk when his tele- phone call opened up for me an Opportunity to work with him for Washington and Lee. I recall his hand on my shoulder or the grasp of my arm while he shared the latest addition to his storehouse of anec- dotes. I remember the flowers from “Penrobin” when my son was born. I remember, too, his closing words when he addressed a Wash- ington and Lee graduation class for the last time in 1959. “And may He be with my boys.” Like so many others, I am proud and grateful to have been one of Dr. Gaines’ boys. “Tt is the final satisfying reward of all men’s efforts, the sense of building something into a cause, or into an institution, that in itself is noble, that in itself is lasting, and you stand and look and say, ‘I have been a part of something big, even though I was small. I have done for that which shall endure, even though I pass. ”—from an address by Dr. Gaines before Richmond alum- ni, January 15, 1959. 6 THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE The inaugural address delivered by Dr. Gaines on October 25, 1930, is as timely today as ut was then. It is reprinted here in full. “To Think of Washington And Lee...” O THINK of Washington and Lee is to remember l an ideal. “An ideal stirred the settlers of this Valley who in days of grimness dreamed of fruitage and of light. It drew from Washington a donation of financial re- source and a felicity of sonorous phrase. It proved stronger than wars and their disconsolate train. Unto it Lee brought the summation of his life. “As this ideal has been powerful, so it has been free. The years define broadly the title given this en- terprise in the rechristening of 1776, Liberty Hall. Dedicated to ends of citizenship, this institution has been free from the domination of any frantic frac- tion of popular whim. Aspiring to lead men to view life as through the eyes of Christ, it has been free from the clamor of conflicting creed. Reverencing the South- ern sentiment which crystallizes in its community, Washington and Lee, through the influences of him WINTER 1964 who was greatest alike in that sentiment and this academic history, has been free from the prejudice and the pride of sectionalism. Striving for character not less than for learning, it has liberated students from most of the regulatory minutia, so that out of his freedom each boy may cry, ‘Tf it be a sin to covet honor, Iam the most offending soul alive.’ “It is an utterly new world in which this ideal today seeks expression. ‘Then there was but a small band of heroic youth who annually set forth upon the pilgrimage of knowledge, isolating themselves in vales of quietness; now the browning of the leaves sees in exodus a nation of youth never quite detached from the larger world. Then the Pierian spring was single and standard; now tumbling cascades of variegated curricula are at every turning of the road. ‘Then the mode of student life was routine beyond the chance of 7 much deviability; now it is colored and noisy with the frolic pageantry of campus styles. ‘Then, if we may believe the prophet of lament, the objective was the training of the mind; now the objective is to make money. Then, to quote again the frightened critics, the pilgrims were responsive to emotional impulse; now they are young sophisticates, sprayed by the acids of futility, seeking to integrate life in hardness beyond the scope of vulnerable moods. “But to think of Washington and Lee is to believe in an ideal. “It is to believe that this ideal shall still be free, free from new threats as well as old restraints. It is to believe that this ideal may preserve its liberty against the modern tyrannies of standardization. Humbly seeking to learn from the processes of other education- al effort, this ideal shall he independent of the con- tagion of conformity, the assumption that every in- stitution must do exactly the same thing in exactly the same way at exactly the same time. Its ideal is still to be free from the coercions of premature special- ization. It shall not deny young life its legitimate pro- fessional interests, it shall in broad terms train young minds into the ideas, young lips into the vocabulary, of their destined work. But this highway is not to be cut into the deep ravines of trade. The energies dedi- cated to this ideal shall not cramp youth into the intellectual straight-jacket of economic necessity. “To think of this ideal is to believe that still it has power. Its power is to survive the unforeseen vicis- situde, to enlist great teachers, great friends. But more than this, its power is still to achieve a distinctive pur- pose; to reach beyond the monotony of instruction, beyond the formulas of fact, forever widening and forever intensifying, forever important and forever trivial, to reach beyond these and deposit in the life of a boy something a little finer than culture, a little rarer than competence, a little nobler than success; to q quicken a dream within the young brain prepared for dreams by the agony of the aeons, to formulate within the tenderness of the heart some coherence for its own compulsions, to furnish young personality with poten- cy and with poise. “Such faith is justified by our recollections of this ideal in the past and by our knowledge of the material of the present upon which the ideal will work. Around us the air is full of facile dictions of despondency, as an unadjusted conservatism watches young life sweep on, as it has always done, to swifter adaptations. But the promise of tomorrow is still written only upon the countenance of youth; and those who know youth best see that the tablet still is fair, the message is still of hope. “An antique poet has left for us an impressive figure. It is to be regretted that we have shuddered at the gloom of his prediction rather than marveled at the brilliance of his theme. ‘Or ever the golden bowl be broken - - -? “Perhaps just for the moment he was thinking not of death but of life. Perhaps here is an implica- tion of our ideal; to take the bow] of life, so precious in native materials, and to give it beauty with a pattern of courtesy and of charm; to give it dimension with capacity for lovely interests and generous sympathies; to give it strength that it may resist and may endure; to give a divine utility that again and again it may be emptied before high altars. Perhaps this bowl is the Holy Grail of our privileged quest, the gleaming grace of which shall strengthen stumbling feet over the ranges of difficulty, shall illumine every shadowed vale of our dispair. ‘Saw ye no more?’ ‘I, Galahad, saw the Holy Grail. I saw the holy cup descend upon the shrine. I saw the Holy Face as of a child’ ” On the following pages are recorded some of the sentt- ments expressed by Dr. Gaines’ friends and associates in the days that followed his death. Only the resolution of the Board of Trustees is reprinted in full; other resolu- tions and editorials, of necessity, have only excerpts re- corded here. The resolution passed by the Virginia Gen- eral Assembly was introduced by the Hon. Bernard Levin, 42, as chief patron, and was signed by the nine other Washington and Lee alumni in the House of Delegates and the seven alumni who serve in the Virginia Senate. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE The Resolution of the Board of Trustees January 18, 1964 “With deepest sorrow, the members of the Board of Trustees of Washington and Lee University append to their official minutes the report of the death of one of the University’s most devoted servants. Dr. Francis Pendleton Gaines, Chan- cellor and former President, was fatally stricken by a heart attack at his home in Lexington in the late afternoon of December 31, 1963. “There is no way to calculate the hearts that were saddened by Dr. Gaines’ pass- ing. So varied were his interests, so broad was his service to his University, his na- tion and his fellowmen, that those who called him their friend are legion. His was a personal magnetism of warmth and generosity that reached out to all that knew him during the 71 years of his life. We, the Trustees, and other members of the Washington and Lee University family, knew him best, and our sense of personal loss is overpowering. “It is not our purpose in this memorial to review the many achievements of a full and unselfish life, nor shall we rechart the great progress of this University dur- ing the 29 years that Dr. Gaines served as President. On the occasion of his retire- ment, this Board, with affection and gratitude, expressed elsewhere in these minutes its admiration for Dr. Gaines’ personal accomplishments and his leadership which brought unprecedented distinction to Washington and Lee. Today, by this testimon- ial, we honor the memory of our friend and colleague, and we recount moments of our long association that each of us shall treasure. We recall the vigor of his hand- clasp, his felicity of expression, his unfailing charm and ready wit, his inexhaustible storehouse of delightful anecdote and parable with which he so often brought wel- come relief to the tensions of our official deliberations. “We rejoice in our knowledge that a generation of students who never knew Dr. Gaines as President had opportunity to hear him speak and marvel at his gift of ora- tory. And we reflect with new insight upon his closing remarks to the Omicron Delta Kappa assembly, just two weeks before his death, when he spoke of the noblest epi- taph he knew: “He died learning.” Dr. Gaines possessed remarkable qualities of in- tellect. His knowledge of many fields was detailed and broad, and his capacity for sound reasoning and his sensitivity to the world about him were unparalleled. Yet, we know that he, too, died learning, as would befit one whose life was dedicated to increasing man’s knowledge and understanding, his humility and tolerance. “In our sorrow, we draw inspiration from the life of Francis Pendleton Gaines, and we rededicate ourselves to the faithful service of the University which became a part of the very fibre of this kind man. We are comforted in our knowledge that he is now part of the immortal company of men—Washington, Lee, and many oth- ers—who are the sinew of our University’s strength. “Tt is ordered that these fond and sorrowful sentiments be recorded upon the minutes of the Board of Trustees and that an engrossed copy be presented, with ex- pressions of our profound sympathy, to Mrs. Gaines. WINTER 1964 “Those Who Called Him Their Friend .. .’’ “Whereas, Francis Pendleton Gaines did throughout his years at Washington and Lee Uni- versity hold open his door, his mind, and_ his heart to the students, and did give to them and to Washington and Lee incalculable values; and was because of all these things revered and beloved by the generations of Washington and Lee men who passed his way....”—from a resolution adopted by the EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE of the STUDENT Bopy. “Always he was mindful of the great traditions of George Washington and Robert E. Lee. He moved in their shadows. He built on their foun- dations. Dr. Francis Pendleton Gaines has left a deep imprint upon every facet of University life. The impression of his character and accomplish- ments will be etched upon the red brick and white columns of Washington and Lee for endless years to come.”—from a_ resolution prepared for the ALUMNI BOARD OF ‘TRUSTEES. “So profound was his impact upon the faculty and students of Washington and Lee that he inspired others to emulate his example. To be introduced to him was to become his friend. He was master of the strategic and mindful of the tactical in meeting his own responsibili- ties.”--from a resolution adopted. by the FAcutry. “Washington and Lee grew steadily scholastically and materially during this period embracing a full generation of students. It owes a great debt to Dr. Gaines, as does the whole field of education in Virginia. And this com- munity in particular will feel a great loss in his death.”— from the Lexington NEws-GAZETTE “Dr. Gaines was a charming gentleman of the old school who thrived on new ideas, He deserves to be ranked among Virginia’s greatest sons of the 20th century.’—from the Roanoke Wor.p-News. “To attend a large dinner where he was present was to find the guests eventually turning to hear what story it was that Frank Gaines was telling, or to listen to his informed and witty conversation.... “He was a gallant gentleman with as full a life as any man could have and he will be remembered as such men always are remembered.”’—from the Lynchburg News. “No one did more than Dr. Gaines in a time of grow- ing social and economic complexities to awaken Virginia’s people to the importance of education of breadth and quality at all levels. The progress and welfare of Virginia were causes which held his ardent interest and he was one of our most articulate and persuasive leaders in all areas of civic endeavor....’—from the Roanoke TIMEs. 10 “It is a sad beginning to the year that brings word of the death of Dr. Francis Pendleton Gaines. He exemplified all that is best in the academic life of this State; in every literal sense of the familiar phrase, he was scholar and gentleman. Virginia was greatly the richer for having known him all these years.... “He combined a superb command of the English language with a showman’s gifts of timing and diction. His puckish sense of humor lightened the most seri- ous address, and his grip on an audience never wavered.... “He will be keenly missed. Plagued all his life by ill health, he had been off stage for quile some time, but it is a sad thing to realize that we no longer can ex- pect to see that sturdy figure in the door- way, cane in one hand, some book in the other, as he dropped by the office to talk of Virginia’s colleges or just to say hello. This Commonwealth has been blessed with some exceptionally fine college and university presidents. We venture to say that when the roll is called wp yonder, the name of Frank Gaines will lead the rest.’—from the RIGHMOND NEws LEADER. “Fairly short of stature, he was stocky and his jaw was squared off and heavy, like a reference book. His silver hair, and thick hand that would swing through the air to emphasize a point, added authority to what he had to say. As a politician, he would have been, perhaps, of the Bryan mold; as a preacher, probably a Sockman or Fosdick; as an entertainer, the Will Rogers type, intelligent and full of good humor. As an educator, Dr. Gaines himself set the pattern. A University president, he was no ivory-tower scholar; he was not even mainly an admin- istrator. He became education’s leading emissary to the outside world, pleading for its larger, voluntary support....’—from the Norfolk LrpGER-STAR. “There were giants in that class of 1912 but none of greater stature than Francis Pendleton Gaines whose death on the last day of the dying year closed out the career of one of the greatest educators the South has produced. A man of no- ble spirit, of lofty vision, he re- vealed the idealism by which he lived ....’—from the University of Richmond’s ALUMNI BULLETIN. “In addition to many other qualities which are too rarely seen in these days, Francis Pendleton Gaines was the exemplar of the tradition of the ‘Virginia gentleman.’ Dignity, noblesse oblige, and an abiding modesty were among the characteristics which set him apart from other men.... “It is therefore fitting and proper that the General Assembly of Virginia record its regret upon the passing from our midst of this great educator, friend, wise coun- cellor and true Virginian....”’—from a joint resolution adopted by the VirGINIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Death Claims Dr. Fitzgerald ; Flournoy, °21 R. FITZGERALD FLOURNOY, ’21, D whose popular courses in Shakespeare and Elizabethan dra- ma established him as one of the most memorable of Washington and Lee professors, died January 29 in University Hospital in Char- lottesville. He was 65. Dr. Flournoy had been ill for several weeks, following a stroke in his home. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Mildred Flournoy; a son, William Cabell Flournoy of Lynch- burg; and his mother, Mrs. Mary Boyd Flournoy, who for many years was hostess at Lee Chapel and house mother for Phi Epsilon Pi fraternity. A distinguished student while at Washington and Lee, Dr. Flournoy received his A.B. degree in 1921 and his M.A. in 1922. In 1922 he became the University’s second eraduate to be selected as a Rhodes Scholar for study at England’s Ox- ford University. Oxford awarded him a B.A. degree with honors in 1924 and an M.A. in 1928. He re- ceived his Ph.D. degree from Yale in 1936. After teaching at Stanford Un1- versity in 1925-26, Dr. Flournoy joined the Washington and Lee faculty the following academic year and undertook a_ teaching career there that would win him the respect and admiration of gen- erations of students. He was pro- moted to professor in 1937. Of all his courses, Shakespeare was his most popular. In the spring when open windows let his boom- ing voice escape from Payne Hall’s WINTER 1964 Dr. FLournoy was the second of Washington and Lee’s seven Rhodes Scholars. When Jon B. McLin, ‘60, right, was selected for the coveted award in 1960, Dr. Flournoy showed him the Oxford blazer he wore in England in the early 1920'S. S classrooms, students would pause on the walks outside to enjoy his reading from King Lear and other of Shakespeare’s tragedies. Dr. Flournoy was often a partici- pant at Fancy Dress as a narrator for the figure. Life magazine once carried his photograph in this ca- pacity. Dr. Flournoy was a man of great charm and keen wit. His gift for distinctive self-expression was ad- mired by his colleagues, and his report to the faculty on Rhodes Scholarship candidates was always a highlight of an academic year. Once when required physical education was under attack from some quarters of the faculty, Dr. Flournoy rose in defense of the es- tablished program and demolished opposition with an oration that drew applause from his. associates. Several years ago, in. describing his plans for future scholarly inves- tigation, Dr. Flournoy admitted that his eagerness in this area had somewhat lessened, particularly during the summer. “Frankly,” he wrote, ‘the time comes when I would rather fish.” Through a grant from Washing- ton and Lee’s faculty research assist- ance program, Dr. Flournoy, in 1961, was able to revisit England and the Shakespeare country that he loved. His courses, important offerings of the University’s English pro- gram, will continue to be taught well by others, but future students will miss a_ distinctiveness and charm that only Fitz Flournoy could add. 11 12 By GENE B. Hanstey Asssitant Director of Information Services LL WASHINGTON AND LEE situ- dents are Republicans this year. At least they are deep into plans for portraying the delegates who will select the 1964 Republican presidential nominee. ‘This is the year for one of Wash- ington and Lee’s _ best-known events—the Mock Convention. Actually preparations already are heading down the home stretch. ‘This year’s convention is sched- uled May 4 and 5 and it will be ac- companied by all the ballyhoo, ex- citement, famous people, and hope- fully, accuracy of the twelve former sessions. Following the pattern set with the first convention in 1908, this year’s affair will be for the po- litical party out of power—the Re- publicans. Work on the 1964 event started last May when Philip D. Sharp Jr., a 29-year-old intermediate law stu- dent from Richmond, was appoint- ed chairman. He _ received his B.A. degree, cum laude, from Washington and Lee in 1962, and was a convention delegate in 1960. Soon after his selection as chair- man, Sharp named a _ seven-man student steering committee to as- sist in the planning and operation of the event. ‘The four law school students on the committee are: Charles B. Rowe of Courtland, assistant chair- man; Wyatt B. Durrette, Jr. of Franklin, Republican Party chair- man; Donald H. Partington of Springfield, state delegations chair- man; and Peter TT. Straub of St. Louis, Mo., pre-convention direct- or. Undergraduate members are Ed- ward M. Norton, Jr. of Butler, Pa., secretary; John M. Madison of Shreveport, La., parade chairman; and Stephen P. Smith III of Jack- sonville, Fla., publicity chairman.

Judd would keynote the 1964 Re- publican Mock Convention. Judd is an appropriate choice be- cause he keynoted the 1960 Repub- lican National Convention. When sounding the party challenge to the Washington and Lee convention, he will be following a tradition set by previous keynote speakers like President Harry ‘Truman, Senator Alben Barkley, and on the Repub- lican side, Kansas Senator Frank Carlson, and Congressman Clar- ence Brown, ’16L, of Ohio. From 1942 to 1962 Dr. Judd served as a Congressman from Minnesota. His medical missionary in China before World War II helped make him a leading member of the House Com- mittee on Foreign Affairs. In a 1962 Congressional poll, his colleagues named him one of the House of Representatives’ five most influen- tial members, the only one chosen from the minority party. experience as a Early in March Virginia’s Sixth Congressional District Representa- tive Richard H. Poff accepted an invitation to be honorary chair- man of the Mock Convention. A Republican who has served in Con- eress continuously since 1952, Poff represents a district in Virginia which includes both Roanoke and Lynchburg. He will welcome dele- eates to the Mock Convention on behalf of Virginia Republicans as well as introducing Dr. Judd. Thousands of people have always jammed Lexington on the conven- tion’s opening day to see the kick- off parade and the 1964 version is shaping up as an equal to any in past years. ‘Chere will be bands, a float from each of the 53 delega- tions and maybe a real elephant let everyone know the Republicans are in town. Dr. Judd and Poff will ride together in the lead car. After the parade and opening WINTER 1964 session devoted to the keynote ad- dress, delegates will get down to the business of,'the convention—trying to select the same presidential can- didate that the Republican Nation- al Convention will later this sum- mer. Alumni have posted a winning record of predictions in the past by accurately naming the out-ol- power party’s standard bearer eight times. They have been wrong only four times in the Mock Conven- tion’s history. Chairmen of the 53 state and ter- ritorial delegations were selected last spring too, and were instructed to begin taking soundings of the political situation in their states during the summer. For example, John Heinzerling, a School of Commerce senior from Houston, made contact with both the Republican Party chairman and Republican Party executive di- rector in Texas. As head of the 56- vote Texas delegation, Heinzerling has been keeping a sharp eye on political developments in this stra- tegic state. He said determining Goldwater — as the candidate ‘Texas Republi- cans will cast their votes for at the national convention this summer “wasn’t all that much of a problem because it’s pretty clear cut.” Like most other state chairmen, Heinzerling will have his own “hot line” from the convention floor to his Republican advisor in ‘Texas to receive voting advice. Where the preference for a par- ticular candidate is clear cut in Texas, Jim De Young, Illinois Dele- gation chairman to the Mock Con- vention, is having to “read between the lines’ to determine how his state will actually vote at the na- tional convention. De Young, a junior from the Chicago suburb of Kenilworth, sums up the situation by saying that Illinois Republican leaders seem to favor Goldwater “but not many of them will come right out and say it.” Walter Bennett, a junior from Tuscaloosa, Ala., has politically made himself into a New England- er to be chairman of the Massachu- setts delegation. Advice from, alum- nus Harold Hickox, oe in West- Mascachusetts CR opieicu fader and such highly regarded newspa= pers as the Christian Science ‘Moni- tor, tell Bennett the state is now di- vided between Goldwater ae Hen- ry Cabot Lodge. ; Meanwhile, other students have been working in Lexington to in- sure the accuracy and success of the convention. A fifteen-man Secretar- iat is handling the correspondence and paper work for arrangements. Each of the mentioned Republican candidates has a student campaign manager already at work on the campus. The publicity director, in coop- eration with university public re- lations staff members, is sending out stories to the press and_ plan- ning a campaign to attract cover- age of the convention by national publications, network — television and radio. Last summer a brochure giving general information about the con- vention was printed. Soon after Christmas, it was revised to include pictures and biographical — facts about Dr. Judd. And then there are the thousand and one details to arrange such as who is going to make the signs identifying each delegation, who is going to entertain Miss Virginia when she visits the convention, who will meet Miss America of 1963 at the airport when she comes to ride in the parade on the Texas float, who will arrange special park- ing spaces for the visiting press and political leaders. These and hundreds more are all being worked out and somehow, on May 4, the 13th Mock Conven- tion will get under way and, hope- fully, the next day nominate the man who will campaign this fall against President Johnson. 13 PRESIDENT RANDY WOOTTON and MIss SUSAN Wuite lead the Fancy Dress figure. Costumes of the figure participants were colorful and varied. HE Alumni Magazine, which was criticized by ies last year when it dared suggest that Fancy Dress isn’t what it used to be, can report with pride that Fancy Dress 1964 was a great suc- cess, comparing favorably with the best of yester- year. Under the direction of President Randy Wootton of Baltimore, decorations in Evans Dining Hall tastefully suggested the atmosphere of Mardi Gras, theme for the 1964 ball. The nar- rative for the opening figure was witty and spirited, and it was presented excellently by visiting law professor Archibald Robertson. President Wootton, as King Rex, and _ his queen, Miss Susan White of Baltimore, were elegantly attired, as were all members of the figure and most other dancers. 14 THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Tapped for membership in Omicron Delta Kappa were, l-r, attorney WILBUR CURTIS HALL, 715L; newspaper publisher Cot.

Dean Lewis John, Director of Student Financial Aid, reports 246 students are receiving $191,365 in assistance. Included in these figures are fifty freshmen who are getting $46,560. This total compares with $154,- 119 awarded 200 students in the 1960-61 session—the first year of the University’s expanded financial aid program whose purpose is to make Washington and Lee education available to all qualified high school students, regardless of their financial limitations. Through this program, a total of $189,940 was awarded under- graduates last year. ‘The program gives assistance in the form of a scholarship, loan, campus job, or any combination of the three. Dean John says a major- ity of students receiving aid this year are being helped through a scholarship-loan combination. Repayment of these loans does not begin until a student gradu- ates, enabling him to pay part of the cost of his college education when his earning power is estab- lished. All loans are from Univer- sity sources. Students also earn part of the expense of their education through campus jobs as dining hall work- ers, dormitory counselors, or helpers in the offices of academic depart- ments and administration officials. ‘The average amount of aid giv- en undergraduates this year is $778. The highest amount awarded _ is $2080 through a_ scholarship-job combination. The biggest amount given through a scholarship alone is $1800. ‘The two top financial aid awards the University gives are the George F. Baker Scholarships and the Rob- ert E. Lee Scholarships. A gift from the George F. Baker Trust of New York City established the Baker Scholarships at Washing- ton and Lee in 1960. In the current session, six freshmen and ten up- perclassmen are sharing $16,800. The Robert E. Lee Scholarship Fund was established in 1955 with a $200,000 gift from an anonymous donor. Including four freshmen, a total of twelve undergraduates are receiving $13,600 from the fund this year. Financial aid given by Washing- ton and Lee is awarded on the basis of merit and need. In considering a student for financial assistance, Dean John says a boy’s academic record and potential for develop- ment are considered along with his need for assistance in meeting ex- penses. ‘The actual amount of aid given is determined by procedures adopt- ed by 516 institutions participating in the College Scholarship Service. ‘This includes consideration of a family’s income, assets, number of dependents, debts, and all unusual expenses. Both the academic record and need of each student receiving fi- THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE nancial aid are reviewed each year. Those holding any scholarships or receiving other kinds of aid must maintain a satisfactory academic record each year to continue re- celving assistance. Not included in the $191,365 awarded undergraduates in the 1963-64 session is the approximate- ly $19,735 given to forty-one stu- dents in The School of Law. Also not added to the $191,365 are grants made to Robert E. Lee Research Assistants. mw JOHN CLARK, captain of Washing- ton and Lee’s Debate ‘Team was chosen the best speaker out of a field of fifty-six debaters, represent- ing ten Virginia and District of Columbia colleges and universities at the Delta Sigma Rho-Tau Kappa Alpha Dist. 3 Debate Tournament at Williamsburg. Clark and Jack Eure, debating on the afhrmative side of the na- tional debate question, were chos- en as the best afirmative team at the tournament by winning three of four debates. Eure tied for sec- ond place, just one point behind Clark in the speaker ratings. Both Clark and Eure are senior debaters. Clark as a freshman in 1960-61 won more debate awards than anyone else at Washington and Lee, and was a member of the State Championship Debate Team both in 1960 and 1961.

WASHINGTON AND LEE has been chosen as one of 500 American col- leges and secondary schools to share in the 3M Company’s ‘Assistance Grant to Education” program. Each of the participating insti- tutions has received an award of visual communications equipment, consisting of overhead transparen- 1g cy projectors, two copying ma- chines, and supphes for making projection transparencies. In a letter to President Fred C. Cole, President Bert S. Cross of the 3M Company said that Washington and Lee and other program partici- pants were chosen from among 14,000 American colleges and. sec- ondary schools who submitted pro- posals to the company’s educational program. “It is a great reflection on your resourcefulness and demonstrated interest in improved classroom communication that yours was se- lected among so many worthy can- didates,’’ President Cross wrote. Expressing the university's ap- preciation for the award, President Cole commended the 3M Company for its “gratifying interest” in Am- erican education, both at the col- lege and school levels. President Cole said Washington and Lee will use the projectors to supplement other modern teaching aids now in use in its classrooms and laboratories. Neal C. Allard, branch manager of Gallant, Inc., of Roanoke, area distributor for 3M Company ther- mo-fax visual products, conducted a demonstration class for professors in the various classroom applica- tions of the projection equipment. =# GERMAN teaching and scholarship at the University has been boosted with a gift of books, records, and tape recordings from the Goethe Institute, Munich, Germany. The institute, whose purpose is the teaching of the German lang- uage to people of all ages, sent the gift to Washington and Lee through the Atlanta, Ga., consu- late of the Federal Republic of Germany. About 150 items valued at ap- proximately $500 are included in the gift. The tape recordings and records already have been put into use in the language laboratory to help students improve their Ger- man speaking ability. All books will be available to undergraduates taking German courses. Also they will be used by the German faculty as supplement- ary and illustrative material in classes. THE LATE JOHN MARTIN, °26, of Wilmington gave to the Geology Department of Washington and Lee lapidary equipment which will be used in preparing thin sections of rocks and minerals for identifi- cation and for petrologic studies.

Part of the collection is on display in the Geo- logy museum on the basement level of Howe Hall. Mr. Martin died December 8 in a tragic crash of a commercial airliner near Philadelphia. 20 Founders’ Day Thought HE FOUNDERS’ DAY ADDRESS On January 1gth was i delivered this year by Dr. William W. Pusey, ITI, Dean of the College. His talk was an excellent ap- praisal of the University’s “identity” and he expressed his concern for the future in this way: “We cannot afford inertia at Washington and Lee, and I detect little of it here. ‘The quality and the image of an educational institution do not remain = un- changed. In a decade or so the ridiculed Podunk can become an excellent university, while conversely the ivy-covered ‘name’ college could tumble into ‘Podunk- ism,’ if it doesn’t intelligently and vigorously keep up with evolving, bustling society. We at Washington and Lee have problems and opportunities with which we must continue to grapple as men of good will, realizing that never will—or indeed never should— everything ‘come out even,’ or have a final solution.” DEAN WILLIAM W. Pusey, III THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Bob McHenry, °56, Resigns Basketball, Lacrosse Jobs yy. the winter sports news was the resignation of J. Robert McHenry, °56, as head basketball and lacrosse coach, effec- tive in June. Bob McHenry, who took over both sports in 1958 at the age of 24, said he would take a position at Lebanon Valley College, in Ann- ville, Pa., where he would be head basketball coach, tennis coach, and an assistant football coach. Athletic Director and head foot- ball coach at Lebanon Valley is Wilham McHenry, ‘53, former Washington and Lee football and lacrosse standout, and Bob’s older brother. During the younger McHenry’s five years at Washington and Lee, his basketball teams won 27 and lost 65, while his lacrosse teams compiled an overall record of 13- 98-1. Athletic director E. P. “Cy” ‘Twombly has begun a search for a successor to McHenry. He said he is seeking a man who can “do the job in basketball that Lee Mc- Laughlin has done in football.” Twombly admitted that such a per- son may be hard to come by, but he indicated that the men under con- sideration are highly promising. Twombly emphasized that Mc- Henry’s decision to leave Washing- ton and Lee was entirely the young coach’s own. McHenry had indicat- ed last year that he was interested in making a change. ‘I'wombly praised McHenry’s coaching work at Washington and Lee and cited how he had been handicapped by injuries to key players, academic WINTER 1964 losses, and a general shortage of talent in both basketball and _ la- crosse. Whoever takes over McHenry’s basketball job will inherit a team that won only four games while dropping thirteen. The 1963-64 Generals got off to a relatively good start, and stood 3-3 after their first six games, but a long dry spell set in that wasn’t broken until the last regular season game against Rich- mond Professional Institute, a team that had beaten them handily earlier. In the opening round of the College Athletic Conference tournament at Memphis, the Gen- erals lost to Centre College. There was one bright spot in the all-round play of Louie Pater- no, the Generals’ fine guard who led all scorers with an 18-point average per game. Paterno, a jun- ior, will head up a veteran squad of improving Generals next year, but many basketball followers at Washington and Lee feel that the Generals are still several years away from a real revitalization of the ‘ame. Other teams on the winter sports circuit fared this way: Coach Norris Eastman’s swim- mers managed to squeeze out a win- ning season with a 6-5-1 mark against perhaps the strongest sche- dule ever taken on by Washington and Lee mermen. With freshman Dick Musick of Norfolk providing a bright prom- ise of future victory, Coach Dick Miller’s wrestlers finished all even at 5-5 for the year. ‘he season was iw somewhat of a disappointment, as “injuries and a tough schedule ate into the win column. The rifle team was far off target with a record of 1-9-1, and the freshman basketball team of Coach Joe Lyles surprised with a 9-3 sea- son against prep school opposition. In football activity, right half- backs Bill David and ‘Tom Cren- shaw were elected co-captains for 1964, and Coach McLaughlin is considering adjusting his offense to take advantage of both boys’ talents at the same time. After an alumni team of out- standing players from the 1960, 1961, 1962, and 1963 banner teams defeated the varsity 20-0 at the end of spring drills, McLaughlin seemed ready to adjust. things some more, os Football co-captains for 1964: TOM CRENSHAW, left, and Bitt. DAvip 21 Lee Chapel’s Erben Pipe Organ, Silent for Years, Is Heard Again EE CHAPEL’s most cherished pos- Ee session may eventually be its Erben pipe organ, erected in 1872 by “the father of American organ builders.” That is the prediction of several prominent musicians, among them the widely-known organist of Chi- cago’s Fourth Presbyterian Church, Wyatt M. Insko. Said Insko: “Its (the organ’s) value will be- come increasingly important not only in historical context, but as a record of a musical milieu.” Insko called the restoration of the organ—built by New Yorker Henry Erben—“one of the few in- telligent restorations of historical American organs that has been done for this (post Civil War) pe- riod.” For a gg-year-old organ which was replaced -in the 1930's by an This article, written by Washington and Lee sophomore MAvricE FLIEss_ of Clifton Forge, Va., appeared in the special supplement published by the Roanoke Times upon the rededication of Lee Chapel last October. 22 Restoration of the Historic Instrument, Part of the Ford Project at Lee Chapel, Draws Widespread Praise from the Public By MAvRICE FLIEss, '66 electric organ, then left to deter- iorate, its newfound status is a com- plete switchover from times past. A total of $7,000 of the $370,000 Ford Motor Co. Fund allotment for the Chapel work was set aside by Washington and Lee Univer- sity President Fred Carrington Cole to restore the Lee Memorial, or Er- ben Organ. Lawrence Walker, a 44-year-old Richmond organ builder, was em- ployed for the project. In July 1961, soon after the re- storation project at the Chapel got under way, the organ was disman- tled and shipped to Walker's Goochland County workshop. There, the veteran organ builder cleaned and refurbished the organ’s 320 pipes—many of which had been bent and warped. In addition, felt and leather were installed within the valves, and the pine case of the organ, which had been dulled by a dark walnut stain, was refinished. The case was reworked by a Lynch- burg furniture firm. sy The organ was constructed in 1872 and placed in the Chapel bal- cony, in memory of Gen. Robert E. Lee, who during his tenure as President of Washington College (now called Washington and Lee University), had expressed a desire for an organ in the Chapel. Mrs. M. J. Young, a ‘Texan who was a friend of the University, an- nounced soon thereafter that she would attempt to raise sufficient money to pay for an organ. As recorded in the Feb. 11, 1871 issue of the University magazine— the Southern Collegian (Vol. II, No. 9)—Mrs. Young wrote to a friend in Lexington: “Texas must—I am almost im- pelled to say she (Texas) shall—do the whole of 1t.” In the same letter, Mrs. Young revealed a very touching incident concerning her campaign to pro- duce funds to finance the building of a Lee Memorial Organ. “An old man, who refused to give his name, approached my son, and said, ‘Is this Dr. Young, son of Mrs. M. J. Young?’ Being answered in the affirmative, he drew from his pocketbook a silver half-dollar, and said, ‘Here is a contribution for the Lee Memorial Organ. It is a very small sum, but it is all I 9 3? have’. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE WINTER 1964 GrorcE K. TAytor at the Erben organ keyboard. As a result of the generosity of that unknown donor and many like him, the financial end of the organ project was culminated successfully. The rest was up to Henry Erben, who was hired to build a seven-stop organ in his New York factory. Termed the “father of American organ building’ by many, Erben worked on the organ for six months before March, 1872, when he sent the parts to Lexington for assem- bly. Meanwhile, the Lee Chapel bal- cony was re-inforced in preparation for the 2,000 pound instrument which was to be situated against the back wall of the chapel’s tower. Originally hand pumped, the organ was first used in early April 1872, and it has been suggested that the musical notes which flowed gently out of its pipes were a prim- ary factor in the ever-increasing at- tendance at daily chapel services at Washington College. ‘There was an introductory con- cert in May 1872, at which the chapel choir was accompanied by the organ and several other instru- ments. After that time, very little is known of the Erben Organ. In the 1930's, ‘The United Daughters of the Confederacy re- placed the Lee Memorial organ in favor of an electric organ. Until the summer of 1961, the famous instru- ment remained in the_ balcony while its more modern counterpart was used once a year at Washington and Lee’s June baccalaureate ser- vices. Now that the Erben Organ has been restored, it will be used peri- odically. A dedicational concert was given March 1 by George K. Taylor, Washington and Lee sen- ior, whose interest in the Erben Organ as a student research project helped convince University offici- als that the organ should be re- stored. (Dr. James. G. Leyburn played the organ for the Chapel’s rededication on October 11.) 23 PLAN NOW to be in Lexington in Fune A Big “Quinquennial’’ Reunion Coming Up for All Alumni HE FOURTH quinquennial Gen- nae Reunion of All Classes is scheduled for June 11, 12, 13. The date follows graduation ceremonies at both Washington and Lee and V.M.I. Its choice by the 1964 Re- union Committee was influenced by Lexington’s limited lodging facili- ties. Commencing with the Bicen- tennial in 1949, Washington and Lee has continued its practice of holding a big reunion of all classes every fifth year. A large number of alumni can attest to the outstand- ing success of these gatherings in 1954 and again in 1959. For the second time, the four anniversary classes will merge their reunions with the General Re- union. Each year, except the 1959 quinquennial, the 50th, 4oth, 25th, and ioth anniversary classes have held their reunions in May. This year, aS in 1959, the reunions of these anniversary classes of 1914, 1924, 1939, and 1959 will be con- solidated with the big celebration in June. As in the past, the anni- versary classes will be especially featured in the program with indi- vidual class banquets, special lead- outs at the dances, and other events of particular interest to them. The reunion committee empha- 24 By WitLiaAM C. WASHBURN Executive Alumni Secretary sizes that alumni wives and families are cordially invited. A program for ladies will be featured and they should enjoy each event. While it should be noted that there will be no baby-sitting arrangements, chil- dren and teen-agers are invited, and there will be special events in the program for them. The town of Lexington will be practically yours. Most of the stu- dents will be gone, although a few remain to keep some of the frater- nity houses open for alumni visi- tors. You and your families will be housed, by classes as far as possible, in the hotels and motels in and around Lexington. Members of the earlier classes and the anniversary classes will be assigned to those ac- commodationss nearest the campus, but all classes will be close by the college and near familiar scenes. Relax! Live again the days of your youth. Visit with classmates and friends, compare notes and talk over “the good ole days.” ‘The program will be full, but there will be ample time for relax- ation. Included on the program are golf, swimming and tennis outings; a trampoline exhibition for chil- dren, trips to Natural Bridge, Go- shen Pass, and other nearby scenic attractions. here will be the Pres- ident’s welcome party, a law re- ception, dances and a good time for all. On the serious side, returning alumni wlil have an opportunity to hear and talk with University officials about Washington and Lee’s current progress and its plans for the future. All will share the Opportunity to become better ac- quainted with the Washington and Lee of 1964. 3 In the past five years there have been several important additions to the campus and more are in prog- ress. You will enjoy seeing the new dining hall, the new dormitories, and the new science facilities. You ~ will take pride in the beautifully restored Lee Chapel, and view the first stages of the renovation of Reid Hall for an enlarged Journalism and Communications department. Literature with detailed infor- mation is being mailed to each alumnus. Begin now with your plans to attend. Coordinate with your classmates through your class agent and start the ball rolling for a group from your area to come to Lexington. Make this Reunion 64 better than ever before! THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE ~~ The Alumni Fund Is Nearing $100,000 Mark of 1963-64 Drive Alumni Support Is Encouraging, But the Fund Council Renews Its Plea for 100 Per Cent Participation S THIS REPORT goes to press, the A annual Alumni Fund _has passed the half-way mark of its 165,000 goal for 1963-64. To date 1,635 alumni have made gifts total- ling $97,800. ‘This sum represents an approximate 27 per cent ad- vance over this same date last year, but the number of contributors is running behind last year’s figure, which at this time was 1,785. The Alumni Council and all who are directly connected with this campaign urge your early response to your class agent’s appeal in this important effort. And it 1s impor- tant. Much of Washington and Lee’s continued progress depends on the interest of each and every alumnus in the University’s future. Your gift is significant beyond its monetary measure. Washington and Lee is primarily concerned with the education of the under- graduate. Ironically, this has _be- come a somewhat distinctive ap- proach in an academic world where WINTER 1964 increasingly larger emphasis is now directed toward graduate study and research activities. Your gift helps strengthen the quality of un- dergraduate preparation which is so vital to young minds. Also, your active interest and_ participation strengthens the concept of the inde- pendent, privately supported in- stitution. If you value your Uni- versity’s traditional emphasis on quality education and if you value your relationship with Washington and Lee, you will want to sustain its freedom and its strength. The Alumni Fund Council has placed special emphasis on the full participation of every alumnus. It must continue to strive for its goal of 100 per cent support because it is through participation that alum- ni can best declare their faith in Washington and Lee and their con- cern for its future. The University must maintain and improve an already distin- guished educational program. Its task becomes easier when you are an active, sincerely interested par- ticipant in its welfare. ‘The alumni office is busily work- ing on the 1964 Alumni Directory, an undertaking requiring infinite attention to detail. Moreover, it re- quires the sincere cooperation of every alumnus. As a symbol of the vital relation- ship between Washington and Lee and its Alumni, a copy of the direc- tory will be sent to each contribu- tor to the 1963-64 Alumni Fund. Perhaps it is one way of saying “thanks.” Perhaps, too, it will sug- gest to you that you have cared enough about the continued strength and vitality of Washington and Lee to share in its future as well as its past. On behalf of the nearly one hun- dred class agents and the hundreds of regional agents and committee- men, the Fund Council urges your immediate attention to your thoughtful response. - CHAPTER CGURRESPONDENTS Appalachian—R.
