ON THE COVER: Adaptation of a poster announcing a performance created by the Pantomime Company of the Warsaw Chamber Opera for their W&L students, spon- sored by the University Theatre and the Glasgow En- dowment Committee. The poster was executed in silk screen by Thomas J. Ziegler, assistant professor of fine arts and theatre, and Mary Haycox, who in 1974 was an exchange student from Hollins College and now does photography in Lexington.

He became director of Lexington’s Visitor Relations Bureau wn 1975, Last year, a visitor to Lexington asked the staff at the city’s Visitor Center if the city’s streets were being torn up and replaced with dirt for the Bicentennial. Considering the tur- moil in the downtown section of Lexington, the question seemed logical. From the late spring of 1975 until last fall, Lex- ington’s central business district (CBD) was a veritable obstacle course for both motorists and pedestrians. And to the gratitude of everyone concerned, the construction is now complete. All public utilities (telephone, electricity, cable TV) have been placed underground—no more overhead wires: Lexington now has its first storm sewer system; new curbs, gutters and sidewalks, most of them brick, have been installed; and all downtown streets have been regraded and repaved. The total cost for the project and the additional water and sewer work which the city government has done is more than $1 million. By James R. Denny LIT, ’73 Lexington: A renewed sense of time and place Scenes such as this were typical in downtown Lexing- ton for a year while streets and sidewalks were re- built, water and sewer mains replaced, and utility wires buried. This photo was taken at the corner of Washington and Main Streets, looking in the direc- tion of WSL from Courthouse Square. The restored Alexander-Withrow House—with its distinctive dia- mond-patterned brickwork—is directly across the intersection; Bierer’s Pharmacy (H. O. Dold’s in days of yore) is just out of sight on the right. Lexington’s attention to its image as a destination for tourists and its concern with the “financial viability” of the downtown area have been issues of public and private discus- sion for more than a decade. The approach to these problems has been cautious—deliberate and slow-paced. As Matthew W. Paxton Jr., ’49, editor of the Lexington News-Gazette, puts it: “We want to remain a working community, not a museum.” Comparisons with Williamsburg are not appreciated in Lexington. In the mid-1960s, several organizations began to study some of the needs of the community. First came a report on the town’s potential as a stop for tourists, prepared by Thomas Mc- Caskey of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. In McCas- key’s opinion, Lexington’s potential appeal to the traveling public was enormous, but undeveloped. He suggested that the local Chamber of Commerce establish an information center as a starting point for tours of Lexington, with “trail blazer” signs directing tourists from the city limits to the center. McCaskey further suggested that the Chamber develop a brochure to en- courage overnight stays in the Lexington-Rockbridge area. With the implementation of McCaskey’s recommendations, l Lexington’s tourism program was established. But the report also pointed to other areas of importance to local residents. Mc- Caskey suggested that the two blocks of Main Street between Nelson and Henry Streets—the oldest section of the town— had potential for restoration. And McCaskey recommended that the city government consider a mall for the area in its future planning. Within a year, both suggestions were being studied. Paul Delaney, a professor of urban planning at the Univer- sity of Virginia, was asked to study the mall concept for down- town Lexington. His recommendations were not adopted for the simple reason that Lexington couldn’t afford it at the time. However, discussion of the mall focused attention on the needs and problems of Lexington’s business district. About the same time, a group was formed to save some of the town’s oldest buildings which were steadily decaying. Historic Lexington Foundation’s first project was the exterior restoration of the Alexander-Withrow House, one of Lexington’s few surviving 18th-century structures. Since its renovation the Withrow House has become the town’s finest guest house and, more important, it has been returned to the 2 tax rolls. To date, HLF has saved four additional buildings and currently is sponsoring a major restoration of the Stonewall Jackson House. The restoration movement brought with it renewed interest in the city’s history and in what the community had to offer the tourist. The Chamber’s privately sponsored tourism program soon fulfilled its potential. What the program needed was a good dose of salesmanship, so the Chamber enlisted the help of Martin & Woltz, a Richmond-based advertising firm, to find the correct formula. The Martin & Woltz report, completed in 1971, recommended many of the same solutions that McCaskey had outlined six years earlier—the need for a visitor center, well- marked routes from the city limits to the center, an attractive brochure, and walking tours of the town. But unlike the earlier report, the advertising firm’s plan had a price tag—$250,000. With that money, the report predicted that Lexington could attract a half million tourists a year. The Chamber of Commerce couldn’t begin to come up with that kind of money. Instead it approached the city and county governments for funds. The Rockbridge County Board of Supervisors balked at the suggestion. Lexington City Council liked the proposal, but realized that the tourist program would have to be scaled down because of the problem of paying for it. The answer: enactment of a two per cent tax on prepared food and on lodging to fund the operations of a department of visitors relations. The tax went into effect in August 1972, and the department began operations the following July. Today, Lexington has a Visitor Center, which is open daily, three walking tours, and a budget just in excess of $47,000 (the budget has never exceeded the receipts from the tax). The city hopes, according to Lexington Mayor (and W&L professor) Charles F. Phillips, Jr., “to get the maximum exposure for the financial resources we have.” About the same time the City Council was discussing the tourist program, it was continuing to worry about the economic strength of the city’s central business district. The success of Historic Lexington Foundation’s restoration — efforts encouraged the city fathers to conclude that a better, more at- tractive environment in the downtown would result in addi- tional private investment.In a sense, the city believed that Photographs on Pages 2, 3, and 4 are courtesy of Sally Mann. ‘They will appear along with many others in a book on the archi- tecture of historic Lexington by Royster Lyle, Pamela Simpson, and Sally Mann, to be published in late summer.

And, too, the city realized that improvements to the downtown were overdue in any event. For fiscal year 1973-74, John V. Doane, Lexington’s City Manager, submitted to council a five-year plan for capital ex- penditures. In that plan he included a modest ($300,000) CBD project. After discussing the matter, the city decided on the $1 million project. The project was begun in the spring of 1975. In late October, the end of the street construction was cele- brated with a day-long festival which began with an antique car parade and ended with a drawing for a color television set donated by local merchants. Throughout Restoration Day, old movies were shown at “old-time prices,” bands played in Court House Square and a hot dog and soft drink were sold for the combined price of ten cents (more than 6,200 hot dogs were sold). Already the project’s benefits are obvious. Water and sewer services and fire protection have been improved. The elimina- tion of overhead wires and traffic signals has enhanced the downtown’s visual impact dramatically. And, private capital 3 Below: This building next to the Troubadour Theatre on Lower Main Street has been practically everything over the years; now it’s the White Column Inn, Lex- ington’s most popular restaurant.

In this respect, Lexington’s last ten years, filled with studies, reports and proposals, exemplify the community’s concern with perhaps its greatest asset—the quiet of an unspoiled 19th-century college town. That concern was for the most part responsible for the enactment of an historic zoning ordinance a few years ago. Paxton believes those regulations apply “something of a brake to those people who would go just too far afield in renovation.” And while many communities in Virginia are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to attract the tourist, Mayor Phillips is “not convinced the city would want a larger [tourist] program,” although he feels the tourist industry is very important to Lexington in the coming years. It’s not that Lexington is opposed to growth or improve- ments. It is, however, unwilling to leave its future (and its past) to the whims of chance. Lexington, in the finest example of Southern sensibility, has a well-defined sense of its own place and time—a sense of tradition. Its preservation deserves an unhurried and reasoned consideration. 4 By Jan Shivel Masters of mime teach students how to tell tales without words The internationally acclaimed Pantomime Company of the Warsaw Chamber Opera visited Washington and Lee during the winter term. They taught a six-week class in pantomime and move- ment technique under the sponsorship of the Glasgow Endowment Committee. The company first visited Lexington last October for two performances and panto- mime workshops; these were so success- ful that the Glasgow Committee arranged to bring the group back for a longer teach- ing visit. Their collective years of training and artistic experience prepared them to teach much more than pantomime. For more than a decade the founders of the company—Rajmund_ Klechot, Stefan Niedzialkowski, Zdzislaw Starczynowski and Andrzej Szczuzewski—were members of the Wroclaw Mime Theatre directed by Henryk Tomaszewski. During this association they created many major Zdzislaw and students rehearse for “Marathon,” a piece based on the ancient Greek and Persian conflict. roles and gradually developed a personal philosophy of pantomime that went beyond the visual tricks and comic rou- tines of classic pantomime and concen- trated instead on serious thought-provok- ing themes. They formed their own com- pany in 1975 to share and emphasize their philosophy through a unique synthesis of pantomime, dance, and acting. Later they were joined by Jolanta Kruszewska, the premiere ballerina of the Wroclaw Opera, whose classical training further enhanced the company’s capabilities. Drawing on this wide artistic back- ground, the mimes introduced their W&L apprentices—more than two _ dozen students and area residents—to many movement forms and combinations. Al- though they spoke little English when they first arrived, they rapidly developed an expressive blend of English, Polish, German, and syncopated sounds to com- municate with their students. But their Jolanta helps Betty Kahn perfect a motion for “Kaleidoscope.” June Morgan, who wrote the music for the piece, is behind them. most effective teaching method was simply mime. The students had no diffi- culty understanding and found, as senior Will Cantler did, that non-verbal teaching was an “enriching experience.” Each class was a medley of sounds, movements, and teachers. Jolanta warm- ed up the students with ballet exercises. Next one of the men demonstrated and taught isolated pantomime movements and finally a third teacher combined these movements into improvisations. After an hour and a half of class, the students com- pletely exercised their bodies. As one of them, Betty Kahn, said, “There’s not a muscle that isn’t toned by the exercise; but no matter how tired one is at the begin- ning of class, the feeling at the end is pure exhilaration!” The exercise caused dramatic physical changes in some students. Like an inten- sive yoga course, the weeks of limbering activity enabled students to do things they Andrzej shows students, future Persian soldiers, how to move aggressively.

During a tumb- ling lesson, Compton O’Shaughnessy, a local actress, was delighted when she did the first backbend of her life. Others, like senior Brian Garr, mastered backward somersaults. The mimes were fun to be with and their students enjoyed taking them to all kinds of events—lacrosse games, the Fancy Dress Ball, skiing trips and country picnics. They reciprocated by inviting their students to a dinner held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Kahn (he 1s as- sistant professor of drama and director of the University Theatre). Stefan and Betty Kahn prepared an army-sized batch of bigos, a spicy Polish stew, for the guests who washed it down with lots of red wine and topped it off with homemade cheese- cake. Gatherings such as this one created a close rapport between the Poles and their students. Their English continued to improve as they were plied with ques- Hunt Brown, ’79, (Death) and Will Cantler, ’77, (one of the two students who portrayed the Marathon runner) receive instruction. tions about their art, philosophy, and life. They avidly responded, charming their listeners by reading their palms, relating exciting stories of earthquakes endured in Cairo and meetings with Marcel Mar- ceau and, most importantly, by telling them about Poland’s thriving cultural community. After a few weeks of class, the mimes began to design and choreograph two performance pieces for their apprentices because, as Andrzej explained, a produc- tion stimulates development. And the production did. It provided a means for the students to fuse the techniques they had learned into an art form capable of communicating an idea to an audience. The idea of communicating in silence was new to many of the class participants who were already experienced actors. But they learned not to rely on verbal delivery. In- stead they let their bodies and _ faces become their new instruments of ex- pression. Music was added to the two pieces during the last week of rehearsal. June Morgan, a student and secretary in the drama department, composed the accom- paniment for the first one. Composing for mime was a new experience for June, who had majored in musical theatre composi- tion at Hollins College. “Because mime is so precise, the music has to fit the piece perfectly,” she explained. She solved the problem by timing each action and then composing the music accordingly. Although the production was not a class requirement, all but those with schedule conflicts took part in it. Despite the double load of class and rehearsals and the swift approach of exams, the stu- dents were still anxious to learn as much as they could from their energetic teachers. Freshman David Sorrells was so involved in the course that when he dis- located his kneecap and was unable to A scene from the final production.

In spite of his foot-to-hip cast, decorated profusely with colorful Polish and American autographs, he managed to hoist himself slowly through the entry hole in the light booth floor for each rehearsal and performance. The production ran for three nights at the end of March. Everyone who saw it, including the teachers, were impressed by the students’ rapid development. Stefan judged the performance on opening night, “For six weeks alone, this is very good!” The students’ presentation of both a comic and dramatic piece was skillful, sensitive, and convincing. In “Kaleido- scope” the student actors portrayed a group of children in a collage of playful life experiences including star-cross’d lovers, tightrope-walking, and_ visual storytelling. “Marathon,” based on the story of Pheidippides, who ran to Sparta after the battle of Marathon, was more serious. It followed the runner from a tumultous battle between the Persians and Greeks through his lonely run when he sees visions of his mother and lover, to his final fight and submission to death. At the conclusion of the first night’s performance, the mimes once again demonstrated their remarkable talents which had so inspired their students. In several classical pantomime and dance sketches, they revealed the roots of their art but their final piece “Beyond the Word” was an example of their present state of development. It was a denuncia- tion of war and showed how completely philosophy is interwoven with their ex- pressive art. Both are equally important. The mimes encourage their viewers to participate in their performances by creating their own meaning from the images they present. Not everyone is will- ing to work toward that perception, but if “only two people in the audience under- The mother (Compton O’Shaughnessy) appears The Furies survey the battle’s aftermath. briefly to her son (Dan Scott, ’77) and comforts him. stand, we are successful,” says Andrzej. By inviting such a creative response, they en- courage their spectators to become creators and artists as well. An understanding of the mimes’ work reminds the viewer that life is the same worldwide. Everyone is unified by similar fears, hopes, and happiness. The Poles embody this message and through their classes, rehearsals, and __ personal relationships they taught their students to break from isolation, to recognize the kin- ship between men, and to remind others of that kinship. Their mastery of panto- mime, a universal language, qualifies them for such an undertaking. The rare opportunity to see and meet the mimes was made possible by the efforts of Lee Kahn, who saw them per- form six years ago while on sabbatical in Poland. He never forgot them and en- couraged the Glasgow Endowment Committee to sponsor them. RAINS LENA NAY HSI IL I TE AT RR RIN OR ER SN Development Program Volunteers On Washington’s Birthday in 1972, Washington and Lee University announced the most ambitious development program in its history. The first objective of the program was to raise $36 million in annual support and in capital funds for con- struction and endowment. The Achievement Council, headed by John M. Stemmons of Dallas, carried out the task. And by December 31, 1976, nearly $37.5 million had been raised. The council was composed of the chairmen of the Alumni and Parents Funds during the period, members of the Board of Trustees and of the Alumni Board of Directors, alumni and friends who served with members of both boards, chairmen of the Robert E. Lee Associates, and chairmen of the Estate Planning Council. The Council worked through seven standing solicitation committees: Alumni, Law Alumni, Parents, Foundations, Corporations, Friends, and Washington and Lee Faculty and Staff. For four years, the Achievement Council went about the satisfying process of asking members of the Washington and Lee family as well as foundations and corporations to support the University as generously as possible. Their message was relatively simple: supporters were asked to give first priority to generous gifts through the annual giving program; then if they could consider a capital gift in the range of five to six figures, without disturbing their annual giving, the Achievement Council asked to assist them in consideration of such a gift; and finally the Council worked to encourage all Washington and Lee people to make the University a part of | their estate plans. Listed here are the names of those who served on the Achievement Council from 1972 through 1976. The list of the hundreds of dedicated volunteers who served as class agents in the Alumni, Parents, and Estate Planning programs is not carried here because of its long length. But the omission in no way indicates a lack of appre- ciation for the important and effective jobs they did annually for Washington and Lee.

Washington and Lee is indebted to many people for the success of the first por- tion of its development program. Of the total of almost $37.5 million raised, 60.5 per cent came from the gifts of alumni. Like all educational institutions, W&L is dependent to a significant degree upon the loyalty and support of its alumni. But it is fortunate to have an unusually large and dedicated number who acknowledge a debt to their alma mater for the part it played in shaping their successful careers. Many of these alumni have performed leadership roles in the development campaign as trustees, members of the Achievement Council and Alumni Board of Directors, or volunteer workers in the annual giving campaigns. Washington and Lee also owes a debt of gratitude to the many warm and en- thusiastic friends—parents, other individuals, foundations, corporations—who supported the campaign so generously. On behalf of the University and its trustees, I would like to extend again to all of these supporters our most sincere thanks. E. MARSHALL NUCKOLS Jr. Rector Board of Trustees Cited past benefactions—from Washington to duPont—have created a false sense of Washington and Lee’s fiscal condition. The mere fact that its sons are spread afar makes communications difficult. The greatest accomplishments of the Achievement Council have been to disseminate truth about the University’s needs and to develop closer communication. Benefactions of parents and friends have been magnificent. The trustees have been both generous and faithful. The Alumni Board of Directors has been superb in its development of annual sustentation which is truly the life’s blood of any institu- tion. The Estate Planning Council has planted seeds that will mean much to future harvests, and the Staff Associates program has proven to be a very effective tool. The staff has been faithful and hard working. The President of the University is truly the shining star in the success of the program. No institution has a greater and more dedicated advocate. General George from atop the College and Marse Robert in his crypt today smile upon the sons of the University. Let this never cease to be. JOHN M. STEMMONS Chairman Achievement Council WOOL 1s a major center for East Asian studies Quietly and carefully, Washington and Lee in the past several years has become an important center for Asian studies—with the establishment of extensive course offerings in Chinese, Japanese, and other non-Western fields: exchange, study-abroad and summer- study programs in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan; development of major Oriental art and library collections on campus; and—just this winter—adoptior. of a new interdepartmental major in East Asian Studies. In an important sense, the father of Asian studies at W&L is Dr. William W. Pusey III, who began work on the pro- gram six years ago, almost the moment he stepped down.as Dean of The College. Though his own fields of teaching are German and Russian language and literature (he is S. Blount Mason Professor of German), he recognized two things about China and America. The first was that recent changes in the nature of relationships between the countries demanded that American college students be offered the opportunity to de- velop a greater and more sophisticated knowledge and understanding of the his- tory and culture of both mainland China and Taiwan. The second was that Washington and Lee already had on hand many of the key ingredients for an Asian studies program. In 1967 the University had received the 10 ah : ORE NY Ee) SS ae wad Soe \ “a : EAST ASIAN STUDIES WASHINGTON ¢ LEE UNIVERSITY LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA 24450 Cover of Washington and Lee’s East Asian Studies brochure majestic Reeves Collection of 18th- and 19th-century Chinese export porcelain, which in the early ’70s was already well on its way to becoming recognized as one of the most important study collections of its kind in the United States. In 1968, I- Hsiung Ju, a native of China and an inter- nationally regarded artist, had joined the W&L faculty as artist-in-residence; two years later, Dr. Harold C. Hill, formerly supervisor of Chinese language instruction for the Defense Department and a sinologist of broad accomplish- ment, joined the faculty too. Dr. Charles W. Turner, a long-time member of the history department whose credentials in- cluded postdoctoral work in far Eastern studies at four universities including Ox- ford and Stanford, had been teaching courses in Asian history for several years. What was principally required now was to develop and expand those unique re- sources into a coherent, disciplined academic program. Dr. Pusey’s project received its biggest boost in 1973, when the Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation of Winston-Salem, N. C., announced a $30,000 grant to W&L’s then-brand-new Asian studies pro- gram for faculty and library-resource development and to support a visiting lec- turer series. On-campus course offerings were ex- panded gradually, as new teachers with extensive educational backgrounds in Far Eastern fields were added to the faculty— Dr. Minor L. Rogers in the religion de- partment in 1972; Dr. John R. Handel- man in politics a year later; Dr. Roger B. Jeans in Asian history a year after that. More than two dozen _ full-credit courses are now part of the undergradu- ate curriculum—two years (four terms) of Chinese and two years of Japanese lan- guage, both of which can be followed by ad- vanced “directed study” courses; two courses in East Asian civilization, one in modern Chinese history, and = an advanced seminar in modern East Asian history; a survey of Chinese literature in translation and a similar course in Japanese literature; three survey and seminar courses which inquire into the cultural forces that have been important in the development of the Far East (one in Buddhism, one in Japanese art, literature and religious thought, and one in the major religious traditions of Asia); separate courses examining post-World War II politics and governmental systems in both China and Japan; and several courses, both studio and seminar, in Chinese art, including Prof. Ju’s popular course in the techniques of Chinese brush painting, using authentic methods and traditional tools. The new East Asian Studies major in- corporates course requirements in one of the languages; history; religion; politics; art, and comparative literature. At the same time the expansion of on- campus opportunities was occurring, study-abroad opportunities were being extensively developed as well, and several innovative programs are now offered in Asia. During the six-week Spring Term, students—whether Asian Studies majors or not—can study in Taiwan at the College of Chinese Culture or in Japan at a number of leading universities and cul- tural institutions there. In addition, W&L and Chung Chi College, a division of the University of Hong Kong, have instituted a full-year exchange program under which one or two students from each I-Hsiung Ju, artist-in-residence, displays scroll painting given to WSL this spring by Chinese government and National Museum of H astory in Taiper. school spend their junior year at the other. And just this spring, the faculty ap- proved W&L’s first full-credit summer Study-abroad course: a 10-week pro- gram in Taiwan, directed by Dr.Hill (who succeeded Dr. Pusey as director of the East Asian Studies program last fall), and subsidized by a generous grant speci- fically for the purpose from a Chinese in- dustrialist, Sung-hsiung Hung. In addition, W&L is one of 60 presti- gious colleges and universities in the United States selected by the Henry A. Drawings by I-Hswung Ju Luce Foundation to participate in a multi- million-dollar postgraduate Asian studies program. The Luce Fellowships are awarded specifically to students and alumni; who are not Asian specialists or international affairs experts, favoring instead those whose education has been in other fields. The Fellowships permit a full year of generously subsidized study and first-hand research in Asia. (Alumni of the participating colleges remain eligible to apply for Luce Fellowships as long as they are under 30; information on the program is available from Dr. Robert W. XD | f — Vie McAhren, Associate Dean of The Col- lege.) Interest in the W&L program and its resources has even come from Asia itself. In 1975 the Rotary Club of Taipei, for in- stance, made a gift of more than 1,100 handsome books on _ Chinese art, literature, culture and history; that collec- tion has become the nucleus of a special Asian studies collection. In China, where Chinese porcelain is hardly unknown, the Reeves Collection has generated considerable interest, notably through articles in the Chinese press. Perhaps the most gratifying single event since the program began, however, occurred this spring—when the National Museum of History in Taipei made a gift of 33 original paintings and 26 reproduc- tions of Chinese artifacts to Washington and Lee, and the Ambassador to the United States from the Republic of China, Dr. James C. H. Shen, visited the campus for two days to make the formal presenta- tion. Included in the Chinese museum’s 11 East Asian Studies gift to W&L are 22 scrolls of brush-paint- ings, four oils, three watercolors and four graphic designs. The reproduction items include 10 additional scrolls of paintings by early Chinese masters, eight pieces of porcelain, four ceramics and four replicas of ancient Chinese bronze figures. Some of the reproductions are old enough to be antiques themselves; one, for instance, 1s two centuries old: an 18th-century repro- duction of a 14th-century Ming Dynasty vase. The gift to W&L was paid for by a special appropriation to the museum from the Republic of China’s education ministry. The director and staff of the Na- tional Museum worked overtime without pay to assemble and pack the collection, according to Prof. Ju, who made the arrangements for it last year when he was in Taiwan. Ambassador and Mrs. Shen were the guests of honor at a banquet on campus; he and President Huntley participated in the presentation ceremony; the Shens set a wreath at the Recumbent Statue of Robert E. Lee; they spent the night in the Lee House. (They had been introduced to W&L and its Chinese program three years earlier, when they were guests at the black-tie premiere Bicentennial exhibi- tion of 200 selected pieces from the Reeves Collection.) In the words of the city of Lexing- ton’s official proclamation of welcome to the Shens, their visit—and the gift— contribute not only toward a “new ap- preciation and admiration of the heritage and sublime culture of China,” but also enhance Washington and Lee’s growing reputation as “an important center for Chinese studies.” 12 Amb. and Mrs. James C. H. Shen were special guests at formal ceremony marking presentation of Chinese art objects to WSL. With them is President Huntley. Reproduction of a Ming dynasty vase (left) and a number of other ceramic pieces were among the 59 items presented by the National Museum to Washington and Lee. el gazette W&L men take trophy in business competition A team of five Washington and Lee business administration majors, oper- ating as the “Toddler Transport Corp.,” took national first-place honors this win- ter in the annual Intercollegiate Busi- ness Game competition sponsored by Emory University. The W&L “businessmen” outper- formed teams from 29 other colleges and universities to capture the competition trophy. “Toddler Transport” not only won first place in its own industry during the initial round, but also took first place among five industry categories in the final competition. Members of the team were John D. Rosen of Kansas City, “president” of the baby-stroller and carseat company; Robert R. Campbell of Towson, Md., vice president for marketing; Rand J. Krikorian of Whitefish Bay, Wisc., vice president for finance; Timothy R. Vaughan of Dallas, vice president and comptroller; and Scott A. Carlson of Tiverton, R.I., vice president for produc- tion and the team’s computer wizard. Dr. Joseph Goldsten, associate professor of administration, was advisor to the team. In the Intercollegiate Business Game, changing economic and business condi- tions are simulated by computer in ways that can—in part—be predicted by tech- niques of good management. The better the management, the better the com- pany’s performance. But the computer also injects unpre- dictable events and developments into the game—strikes and natural catastrophes, for instance—of the same kind real busi- nessmen encounter in the real business world. The master computer compressed three years of business operations into six weeks. Data about market conditions were sent to W&L and the other participating colleges by teletype, and each team sent its decisions back to the computer at Emory. For purposes of the game, the 30 teams were divided into five industries. Each firm began with a dismal economic picture. The W&L case was typical: the students were given responsibility for a firm which had lost money the two pre- ceding years. Award-winning management team of “Toddler Transport”: Left to right standing, Dr. Joseph Goldsten, John Rosen, Scott Carlson, and Rand Krikorian; sitting, Bob Campbell and Tim Vaughan. By the end of the game, though, the W&L team had turned the firm around dramatically, overcoming market fluctuations and_ surprise problems thrown at them (and at their competition) by the computer. “Toddler Transport” stock increased 500 per cent in market value; the company had the best earnings record of any firm in the baby-buggy in- dustry; and team members were so confi- dent of their market posture that they even tried to take over one of their com- petitors which was still losing money. For the final round of the competition in Atlanta last month, each team was re- quired to prepare an analysis of its busi- ness strategy and philosphy, then defend both before a panel of real-life corpora- tion executives and Emory business pro- fessors and graduate students. The ses- sions consisted of a 15-minute presenta- tion and 15 minutes of questions from the panel. This turned out to be a W&L strong point. Said the game’s head judge after- wards: “The Washington and Lee team rated high because of its familiarity with the economy, the thoroughness of its presentation, and its ability to handle questions from the judges. The fact that each member of the team participated— instead of just one or two—also counted in the W&L team’s favor.” Dr. Goldsten was delighted with the way the W&L “businessmen” had per- formed. “Their enthusiasm — and involvement were limited only by the fact that there are just 24 hours in a day,” he said. “They did all the work themselves. I got them together in the beginning to give them an idea of what the game would be like, but from then on they made the de- cisions and they chose their techniques.” The team began work in December, putting in almost 40 hours a week on the project. Toward the end, the game took more than 50 hours a week—and all in addition to the students’ regular classes. “The game is a fabulous learning experience,” says Dr. Goldsten. “Students are allowed to make mistakes— the same mistakes made in the real busi- ness world every day—and to learn from those mistakes as well as from their successes.” Firm president Rosen agrees. The game gives “painless but practical experi- ence in making business decisions,” he says. “It’s a chance to test what you’ve learned, to apply it to the real world.” And the best part, according to mar- keting vice president Campbell, is that “there’s no financial risk, either.” Washington and Lee has participated in the business game for several years, but this was the first time a W&L firm has 13 come in better than second in its industry. With a perhaps-understandable show of pride, the 1977 team members attribute their success this year to near-perfect teamwork—and to the simple fact that “we were very good.” Going ’round with W&L’s resident poet A new collection by Dabney Stuart, Washington and Lee’s poet-in-residence, has just been published by Louisiana State University Press. Round and Round: A Triptych, Stuart’s fifth published volume, is divided into three sections or “panels,” as they are called. The first, “Ground Speed,” contains variations on the traditional forms of the ballad and the song. The ballads are spoken by a variety of charac- ters “invented for the occasion,” Stuart says—a clown, a draftee, a judge, the Jolly Green Giant, and “others of equal oppor- tunity.” Three characters—The Fool, The Poet and The Slut—share the songs, separately at first, then variously to each other. The second panel, “Fair,” focuses ona series of characters and places associated with carnivals. The verse forms are, according to Stuart, “to the eye much freer than those in the first panel; they are, however, as tightly controlled, after their peculiar requirements.” The final panel, “Data Processing,” contains the most recently written of his poems—a series of “lessons” (in na- tionalism, commerce, despair and “other fruitful subjects”) interspersed with a series of poems, again through invented characters (a secretary, a housewife, a laborer), with “certain recognizably ‘modern’ situations.” A recurrent authority figure, the poet notes, “gets the last word, invariably grim, in each ‘lesson’.” Stuart’s previous volumes are The Other Hand (1974), published by LSU; Friends of Yours, Friends of Mine (also 1974), a collection of poems for children, published by Rainmaker Press; and A Particular Place (1969) and The Diving Bell (1966), both from Alfred A. Knopf. LSU is planning to publish a scholarly study by Stuart of Vladimir Nabokov’s fiction next year; he has been working on it for anumber of years, and several of the chapters have appeared in various journals already. Grants from the Univer- sity’s John M. Glenn Fund have support- ed both that research and much of Stuart’s writing for Rownd and Round. In addition to his teaching—he is a professor of English—Stuart travels ex- 14 Poet Dabney Stuart tensively to give readings; this year he has been to Auburn, Hampden-Sydney, Florida International College, four colleges in Georgia, and the University of Michigan (“before Ford”). Round and Round is available at the W&L Bookstore at $4 postpaid in paper, $5.50 postpaid for the hardbound version. Both prices reflect the 10 per cent alumni dis- count and include shipping. Education seminar for journalists All aspects of education in Virginia— from kindergarten to graduate school— received high-level examination during a two-day seminar on campus in early March. The Department of Journalism and Communications sponsored the conference to offer journalists a unique Opportunity to gain substantive and useful background on the many complex problems confronting education today. The overall aim was improvement of media coverage of a subject of major public interest. The participants included the top echelon of Virginia’s educational leader- ship and the journalists who cover educa- tion for the state’s newspapers and radio and television stations. A session on standards, finances, and controls in the public schools was con- ducted by Dr. William Bullock, professor of education at the College of William and Mary; Dr. John DeVogt, professor of ad- ministration at W&L and _ legislative committee chairman of the Virginia School Boards Association; David Johnson, executive director of the Vir- ginia Education Association, and Vincent favorite, personal memory of him. of our nation.” A Tribute to Dean Gilliam The April 1977 issue of Change, a magazine devoted to higher education, contains a tribute to the late Dean Frank J. Gilliam and by extension a tribute to the kind of education offered by Washington and Lee. It appears in a profile on Earl McGrath, age 74, U. S. Commissioner of Education under President Truman, president of the University of Kansas City, chancellor of Eisenhower College, long-time professor of higher education, Teachers College, Columbia University, director of the Higher Education Center, Temple University, until recently a senior consultant to the Lilly Endowment, and now director of the pro- gram of liberal studies at the University of Arizona. The article notes that McGrath’s hero is Robert E. Lee and says: “For nearly four decades he has been preaching the gospel that the prime objective of higher education should be teaching; that the welfare of the student should be upper- most; that the development of character and a responsible citizenry are more im- portant than mere transmission of knowledge—and that all this flourishes best in the intimate atmosphere of the small liberal arts college.” The article closes with this quote from McGrath: “We were talking about Lee a while ago. You know Lee ended his life as president of Washington and Lee Uni- versity, down in Lexington, Virginia. I was reading the alumni magazine from that school not long ago and there was an article about an old dean down there, Dean Gilliam, who had just died. He had seen three generations of students cross that campus, not only fathers and sons but grandfathers and grandsons, and he knew them all. He was a stern man, a man of principle, like Lee himself; but also, like Lee, he was a humane man, and he was concerned for the individual student, as Lee was concerned for the enlisted man. Each of his students had some “Probably no one ever heard of Dean Gilliam 100 miles from that campus, and yet to me he is what liberal education should be about. To me, his was a worthwhile life, a life that had some meaning, purpose, and impact on the future Reprinted by permission from Vol. 9, No. 4 of Change magazine, New Rochelle, N. Y. Panelists at a session of the education seminar for journalists are Hampden Smith, coordinator and W&L journalism professor, Dr. William Bullock, Vincent Thomas, David Johnson, and Dr. John DeVogt. Thomas, chairman of the State Board of Education. At a dinner meeting, Ronald Brown, professor of law at William and Mary’s Marshall-Wythe School of Law, discussed several law suits brought against the public school system for such offenses as failure to provide adequate instruction and reverse discrimination in hiring. The second-day panel dealt with the competition and diversity in higher education. The panelists were Carl Bain, vice chairman of the State Board of Community Colleges; Dr. Ronald Carrier, president of Madison College; Dr. Jay Chronister, professor of educa- tion at the University of Virginia; Dr. Gordon Davies, director of the State Council of Higher Education; Dr. Dana Hamel, chancellor of the State Department of Community Colleges, and Robert E. R. Huntley, president of Wash- ington and Lee. Journalism students attended the seminar as well as the participating pro- fessional reporters. Members of a report- ing class covered the event, which was also taped and televised over Cable Nine, the University’s television outlet. Anonymous gift funds geology speaker series Prominent geologists visited Washington and Lee during the winter as participants in a speaker series on Pre- cambrian geology—the period beginning with the formation of the earth 4 billion years ago and extending until 600 million years ago. The Precambrian presents problems for geologists because none of the present theories apply to that era when the earth was drastically forming and changing. The origins of the atmos- phere, hydrosphere, continents, and life de- mand new explanations and hypotheses, and the visiting speakers provided them. The program, described by Dr. Fred- erick Schwab, professor of geology and coordinator of the series as “almost un- precedented at the undergraduate level because of the reputation of the speak- ers,” was made possible by an anonymous gift from an alumnus whose goal is to benefit students and faculty directly and to develop the reputation of the W&L geology department. Tom Mutch of Brown University, overall scientific director of the Viking Expedi- tion to Mars, sought to explain earth’s early history through what is known about our neighboring planets and their moons. He maintained that all these bodies and earth developed simultaneously until a time when the extraterrestrial bodies stopped developing and the earth con- tinued to evolve. Studies have revealed that the surfaces of our moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and its two moons are all heavily cratered. The earth also underwent a similar episode of cratering, but evidence of it has since been destroyed by weathering and mountain building. Robert Hargraves of Princeton University, research director of the Vik- ing Expedition, theorized that the continents developed from a thin, globe- encircling crust covered by a shallow sea Underlying and overlying layers were added—mostly by volcanic activity—and eventually the continents emerged. William Fyfe, a geochemist from the University of Western Ontario, credited volcanic activity with helping to create both the atmosphere and hydrosphere. Both developed from the _ earth’s expulsion of gases and water vapor. The only ingredient lacking was oxygen, but it was later produced by primitive acquatic plant-like organisms that helped prepare conditions for future animal development. Several other speakers discussed specific areas in the Precambrian: Alan Goodwin of the University of Toronto, director of a research group investigating the Canadian shield (the area of North America in which most Precambrian rocks are exposed), summarized the igne- ous and metamorphic history of the Pre- cambrian. Francis Pettijohn of Johns Hopkins University, a leading authority and author on sedimentary rocks, spoke on early Precambrian sedimentary rocks. Tuzo Wilson of the University of Toron- to, the director-general of the Ontario Science Center and one of the originators of the now widely-accepted geologic theory of plate tectonics, coordinated that theory with Precambrian history. A. Krishna Sinha, a geochronologist from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, described methods, specifically radiometric age dating of rocks, used to explore early earth history more accurately. The program included two-part lectures (afternoon and evening), dinner meetings and post-lecture discussions. It was Offered for credit and was also open to the public. Faculty and staff activities Gerald J. Darrell, manager of Evans Dining Hall at the University since 1970, has been given additional management responsibilities for the Cockpit, W&L’s student rathskeller. Darrell, who had six years’ experience in commercial restau- rant management before coming to Washington and Lee, succeeds the late Marshall Sumner. Sumner was killed in an automobile accident while driving on Interstate 81 to work in February. W&L’s_ sculptor-in-residence, Isabel Mcllvain, had her premiere New York ex- hibition in April. A dozen of her life-size infants’ head sculptures and half-life-size sleeping adult figures were on display for three weeks in a one-woman show at the Gallery 4 X 10. President Robert E. R. Huntley has been re-appointed to the Philadelphia regional selection panel of the President's com- mission on White House Fellowships. As a member of that panel, Huntley 15 participates in the selection of national finalists from Delaware, Maryland, Penn- sylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. Cherie Wright, placement director in the School of Law, has been named chair- man of the National Association for Law Placement national convention in New Orleans this June. Charles F. Phillips Jr., professor of economics, was installed this spring as president of the Virginia Association of Economists. Phillips continues to travel widely as a speaker (he is also national president of the economics honor society, Omicron Delta Epsilon), a panelist at pro- fessional symposia, and consultant in the field of government regulation of utili- ties. Charles T. Boggs, assistant philosophy professor, was the guest speaker this win- ter at a student-faculty colloquy at Hobart & William Smith Colleges. Boggs’ topic was “Morality, Memory and Conscience.” David R. Novack, assistant sociology professor, delivered a research paper en- titled “Community Control: Resident Per- spectives” this spring to the annual meet- ing of the Eastern Sociological Society. Novack’s paper examined grass-roots views toward the politically sensitive issue of local control in three New York City neighborhoods, Ocean Hill-Brownsville, Bedford-Stuyvesant, and South Bronx. Lawrence D. Gaughan, professor of law, delivered a paper entitled “Psychological Aspects of Attorney Participation in Di- vorce” at a symposium on therapeutic and legal aspects of divorce and the family, sponsored by the American Orthopsy- chiatric Association in New York this spring. Gaughan has also led several semi- nars and delivered a number of lectures on parent-child relationships and legal problems this year. Lee Kahn, assistant drama _ professor and director of the University Theatre, was a panelist this spring in a discussion of plays with nudity in college theatres, sponsored by the Southeastern Theatre Conference. Drawing from sshis experiences as director of Equus and Changing Room, Kahn discussed cast selec- tion, rehearsals, and actually staging the production. Previously published articles by two Washington and Lee professors were chosen this spring for re-publication in anthologies. Taylor Sanders II, associate professor of history and University his- torian, had his 1972 article “The Chang- ing Face of Historical Preservation in Vir- ginia” selected for inclusion in a collection of 24 particularly important or interest- 16 ing articles printed over the past 50 years in The University of Virginia Newsletter. S. Todd Lowry, professor of economics, has two articles in new collections—“Bargain and Contract Theory in Law and Econom- ics” in The Economy as a System of Power and “Lord Mansfield and the Law Merchant: Law and Economics in the 18th Century” in The Methodology of Economic Thought, both just published by Transaction Books. Backus closes out long printing career On April 1, Edward F. Backus shut off his densitometer, laid aside his x-acto knife, cleaned up his light table, and went to lunch with his colleagues in the W&L print shop. It was his last day on the job— the end of a 3l-year career as a teacher and all-round printer at W&L—and the president of the University was there to greet him and thank him. At the luncheon, he was honored with a proclamation of praise signed by Presi- dent Huntley and other University officials who had worked closely with him over the years. In retirement, he leaves behind him a body of printed matter, large and small (including many issues of the Alumni Magazine), that says more than words can about his talent, self- demand for high quality, and devotion to Washington and Lee. “He makes us look good,” said one University official whose job it is to design and layout many of the University’s printed pieces. A native of Massachusetts, Backus worked as a printer on newspapers in Maine and Vermont before joining the W&L staff in 1946 as a typesetter and Linotype operator. For 20 years of his career at W&L, he worked with “hot type” and old-fashioned letterpress printing equipment. In 1968, the shop added offset equipment to keep pace with ad- vances in printing technology, and Backus, largely teaching himself, became a master at preparing metal plates on which images to be printed are etched photographically. He also developed skills in graphic design and often had a solution when someone came to him ask- ing, “How am I going to do this?” Until a few years ago, Backus taught a class in the principles and techniques of printing for journalism students. His forte is printing history, and he has an ex- tensive collection of early printed pieces. In 1971, McCormick Library mounted a display from his collection of 19th-cen- tury “chapbooks,” the one-penny pre- decessors of paperback books. Another of his hobbies is lapidary. He can turn the most ordinary stone into an elegant piece of jewelry, lavishing upon it the same patience and care he applied to the preparation of printing. Shoddy work irritates him. His charac- teristic statement when confronted by an error or coarseness was, “I'll have to go to work and fix that.” And somehow he always did. He and his way of fixing things will be missed at W&L by everyone who needs a piece of printing. Edward Charles Tonsmeire, ’32 $200,000 gift endows Honor Scholarship program A $200,000 gift has been made to Washington and Lee by an anonymous benefactor to establish a series of Honor Scholarships in memory of the late Ed- ward Charles Tonsmeire, ’32, a promi- nent Mississippi banker and attorney who died in 1972. The Honor Scholarships will be awarded to W&L’s undergraduates whose records demonstrate exceptional character, achievement, and_ personal promise as well as financial need. Initially, preference will be given to students from the original 13 states. The scholarships will be awarded to entering freshmen undergraduates. Each recipient’s scholarship will be renewable throughout his four years at W&L. Tonsmeire received his law degree from Cumberland University in 1935. He serv- ed four and a half years in the Coast Guard during World War II as a legal officer on the staff of Rear Adm. L. W. Perkins, commander of the 14th Coast Guard district in the Pacific.

From basketball to black-tie ball W&L’s black student community ob- served Black Awareness Week in March in a variety of ways—ranging from a benefit basketball game to a formal dance. Members of the Student Association for Black Unity (SABU) sponsored a benefit basketball game against staff members of two Lynchburg radio stations, WLGM and WJJS, with proceeds going to the Lexington Boys Club. The © social highlight of the week was the fifth annual Black Awareness Ball, with Evans Hall elaborately decorated as the Copa. The music was provided by Anglo-Saxon Brown, a highly popular black jazz group from England. 18 Notes from the country You folk in the big cities probably see these giant cranes just about every day, but down here, well, it’s bigger than the Bonded Fibers smokestack in Buena Vista. You just never saw anything to beat it. They kept building it up and up on top of itself, til finally it was so tall, 116 feet they say, it practically needs airplane lights on top. It’s right in the middle of where that new library’s going to be, and it keeps them from having to bring in all these puny little cranes and build roads and all for them, don’t you see. The driver sits 80 feet up, and it’s got these arms that stick out 158 feet end to end, and it picks things up, buckets of concrete and all, 5,000 pounds if it wants, and swings them over wherever it has to. It only takes five and a half feet on every side, and they'll build the whole building right around it right up to the very end, and then it comes apart the same way it got put together, only in reverse, don’t you see, and then they finish off the building where the crane used. to be. (Anna Claytor on our staff saw it going around one day and thought they were screwing the library down into the ground, bless her!) R.S.K. The 1976-77 Annual Fund Telethon was the most ever—most callers, most calls made, most alumni reached, most pledges made, most money pledged. And by all accounts it was the most fun.

SS Verne Canfield, Coach of the Year. 20 Senior forward Bob Flint goes in for an easy layup in the final game against Madison. After nearly six months of competi- tion and six All-Americans later, Wash- ington and Lee’s winter sports season has come to a close—and what a season it was. The basketball Generals finished with a 25-3 overall record, the best in W&L’s 71-year history of basketball. Not only did the team win the regular-season and tournament championships in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC); the Generals were also tapped for the NCAA regional playoffs, for the second time in three years. Junior guard Pat Dennis was named the ODAC’s Player of the Year and was named to Basketball Weekly’s third All-American team in Divi- sion III. The Roanoke Valley Sports Club named him the Outstanding College Divi- sion Player in Virginia as well. Coach Verne Canfield was honored as Conference Coach of the Year, and has recently also been named District III, Division III College Coach of the Year by the National Association of Basketball Coaches. And the best part of it all is that eight lettermen return next year. Coach Bill Stearns’ swimmers con- tinue to be big winners too. They finished the 1976-77 season with a 6-3 record and had five All-Americans (for a total of 11 All-Americans in two years). Co-Captain John Hudson achieved All-American status in four events this winter, for a three-year personal total of 13. Senior Co- Captain Tad Van Leer was an All-Ameri- can in the 50-yard and 100-yard freestyle events as well as in the 400-yard freestyle relay. Sophomores Chip Hoke and Keith Romich and freshman Scott Duff were also All-Americans. Like the basketball Generals, Wash- ington and Lee’s wrestlers swept all the ODAC honors this year—the conference title; Coach of the Year, Gary Franke, and Wrestler of the Year, Jim Crytzer, who completed his college career as_ the winningest wrestler in W&L history. In addition to Jim (at 158 pounds), W&L had three other All-Conference wrestlers: Boyd Breeding at 118, Ray Gross at 142, and Ed Rogers at 150. Swimming team boasting five All-Americans: Sitting, left to right, Drew Pillsbury, Chip Hoke, Scott Duff, Bob Newcomb, Tad VanLeer, and John Hudson; standing, Manager Howie Sklaroff, Assistant Coach Louis McFadden, and Head Coach Bill Stearns. Swimmer Keith Romich in winning pose. Combining all W&L’s winter sports— the Generals’ indoor track and field team ended its abbreviated season with a 2-1 mark—W&cL had an overall record of 45- 14—80 per cent. And with the arrival of spring, an- other W&L lacrosse season is underway. “W &Lacrosse” is regarded as the ultimate in springtime entertainment—and with good reason.
