ON THE COVER: Lewis Hall, the spacious and modern new home of the School of Law, and the two generous people, Frances and Sydney Lewis, who made the building possible. Lewis Hall was dedi- cated on May 7 in memorable ceremonies attended by 1,500 alumni and guests. A report on the event begins on the opposite page. Photographs by Sally Manan. Washington and Lee formally dedicated Lewis Hall, its new law building, on May 7—during an activity- filled weekend that included the annual meeting of the Alumni Association with election of officers for 1977- 78 and the presentation of three Distinguished Alumnus Awards, the regular spring meeting of the University’s Board of Trustees, Law Day observances with the 29th annual John Randolph Tucker Lecture in Law, and the annual meeting of the Law School Association. The $8-million, 121,600-square-foot building was completed last summer and put into use when classes began last September. The facility is named for Sydney and Frances Lewis of Richmond, who gave $9 million to W&L’s law program in 1972 to support construction of the build- ing. Their gift also established a permanent endowment for a law center, named for Frances Lewis, for the study of problems “at the frontiers of the law.” Sydney Lewis is a 1940 Washington and Lee graduate and is a member of the Board of Trustees. Together, the Lewises founded Best Products Inc., the nationwide catalogue-showroom retail chain. Mr. Lewis is its board chairman and chief executive officer, and Mrs. Lewis is Best’s executive vice president.

Marshall Nuckols Jr. accepts Lewis Hall on behalf of the Board of Trustees at dedication ceremonies on the lawn in front of the new building; ap- proximately 1,500 guests attended. courts, legal educators from throughout the East, and large numbers of other friends of W&L and the Lewises—saw first-hand, is a comfortable, attractive building that is also functionally efficient—designed to eliminate every obstacle which might make the student’s and teacher’s work difficult or inconvenient. It will accommodate 350 students and 20 professors, the size law school W&L has identified as ideal for a program of the character-of Washington and Lee’s. (This year, there are 263 men and women enrolled in the School of Law; the University plans to increase the size of the first-year law class gradually over the coming years until the optimum 350-student population is reached.) Every student has his or her own study carrel, wired with the capability to accept every known kind of elec- tronic and audio-visual intormation-retrieval system. There are five major classrooms, two for as many as 75 students and three for 50, and a large number of smaller seminar and conference rooms as well. The 50,500-square-foot law library is named for the late Wilbur C. Hall, the eminent law alumnus who died in 1972 and bequeathed more than $1.5 million, representing almost his entire estate, to the University. The library has a capacity of 270,400 volumes (the law collection now includes 167,000 books) and 800,000 “non-book” resources—microfilm and other ultra- miniaturized materials. The law library’s media-control center is connected to the student carrels, the Moot Court Room, the classrooms, and all Lewis Hall’s other facilities by more than 88 miles of under-floor cable. ‘The Moot Court Room, which is in fact a “court- room of the future,” is perhaps Lewis Hall’s showpiece. It was designed in precise detail according to what experts have determined to be the best possible physical arrangement. The room is semi-circular in shape, with seating in tiers; the judges’ bench, jury box, and defense and prosecution areas are carefully located for maximum efficiency. Judges’ private chambers and the jury deliberation area adjoin the courtroom itself. The Moot Court Room 1s equipped with the capacity tc produce and transmit all courtroom activity by closed- circuit television and to videotape the proceedings for future reference. The dedication ceremony took place outdoors, on the lawn in front of the main entrance to Lewis Hall (Lewis Hall faces Wilson Field to the southwest). Dr. John Newton Thomas, Rector Emeritus of the W&L Board of Trustees and friend of his fellow Richmonders, the Lewises, delivered the invocation, praying that those who teach and learn in Lewis Hall may be given the grace to “follow in the footsteps of distinguished predecessors who have made such great contribution to the framing of law with wisdom, to the interpretation of law with learning and integrity, and to the administration of law with equity.” It was fitting that on an extraordinary occasion, the remarks—by Sydney Lewis and Frances Lewis, by E. Marshall Nuckols Jr., Rector of the board, by Supreme Court Justice Lewis F. Powell Jr., a W&L graduate and board member and also a fellow Richmonder of the Lewises’, by President Huntley, and by Roy L. Stein- heimer Jr., Dean of the School of Law—were fittingly, similarly extraordinary They were brief; they were from the heart; they said many things about Washing- ton and Lee that perhaps had not been articulated quite so effectively before, that perhaps could be put into words only on an occasion such as the dedication of Lewis Hall. Those remarks constitute the finest report of the dedication, and of what the dedication ceremonies were meant to symbolize. or ; : ra des View of Lewis Hall from Wilson Field; Blue Ridge Mountains are in the background. 2 REMARKS President Huntley In many ways this occasion is the ceremonial and symbolic indicium of a dream come true. We are here to give official and formal recognition to the opening of this handsome structure which now houses our School of Law, to proclaim officially that it shall be named Lewis Hall, to declare that the activities of legal research and scholarship for which the Lewises have provided special endowments shall be known as the Frances Lewis Law Center, and to rededicate the Wash- ington and Lee School of Law to pursue the ideals of its traditions and our collective aspirations for its future. With us today to join us in this celebration are many special persons from our studeut body, from our faculty and administration, from our alumni, and from that great body of loving friends of which Washington and Lee can boast. Also with us are important repre- sentatives of the bench and the bar. I wish I could name and recognize each of these persons, but time and numbers prevent that. I shail especially note that we have here today Washington and Lee’s able and dedicated Board of Trustees, its Alumni Board of Directors, the Council of our Law School Association. Also here are justices of the Supreme Court of Vir- ginia and judges of the United States 4th Circuit Court of Appeals and representatives of both the federal and state judiciary from this and other states. We waimly greet also the friends and members of the family of Frances and Sydney Lewis. We are delighted you have graced us by your presence. ‘There are many people who have helped materially in making this dream come true. I will name but a few. @ The law library is named after the late Wilbur Halk, a dedicated law alumnus. Indeed it was Wilbur Hall who in many ways first perceived the need for this structure and who dreamt of it as long as 20 years ago. Before his death he was able to know that his dream would reach fruition. @' The late Ross L. Malone, Rector of our Board of Trustees, distinguished alumnus, in whose memory and recognition of whose service and generosity the Ross L. Malone Visiting Attorney’s Office is named. @Mr. and Mrs. Thomas D. Anderson. Tom Anderson, a distinguished alumnus and a member of our Board, in recognition of whose generosity and service the Old Guard Classroom will be named, honoring Protessors Moreland, Williams, McDowell, Johnson, and Light. @ Mr. and Mrs. T. Hal Clarke. Hal, another alum- nus and member of our Board, in recognition of whose generosity the T. Hal Clarke Seminar Room is named. @ And in recognition of the service and generosity of Lewis F. Powell, the Lewis F. Powell Conference Room is named. A few of the other significant benefactors who made possible this dream are: Mr. James M. Ballengee; the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation; the Berwind Corporation; Mr. W. O. Duvall; and with us today, Mr. and Mrs. Donald McCaskey and Mr. and Mrs. James P. Morefield. From the estates of several friends and alumni came additional assistance: J. J. Barrett, Walter McDonaid, John E. Cole, Eldridge W. Poindexter. I have some regrets on this occasion; perhaps one of the profoundest is that the late Dean Charles P. Light did not survive to see this day. I am glad that a A reception for law alumni, faculty, and students took place in the outer courtyard of Lewis Hall on Friday afternoon before the dedication activities on Saturday. Mrs. Light is with us. And in the audience is Mrs. Charles McDowell, known and beloved to all of us in two capacities, as the wife of one of our most beloved professors, the late Charles McDowell, and as a tireless servant in her own right to our law school—indeed, one whose identity has been sometimes confused with that of the law school itself. I would be remiss if I did not mention that the quality of the fine work in this building was done under the supervision of the George W. Kane Company, the general contractor, and even more remiss if I did not pay heed to our own D. E. “Pat” Brady, whose meticulous attention to detail in the com- pletion of this project really did much to make it possible. The architects, I think you will agree, have pulled off both an artistic and functional achievement of great magnitude. The architectural firm of Marcellus Wright, Cox & Ladd; the landscape architectural firm of Griswold, Winters, Swain & Mullin. From the archi- tectural firm with us today are Mr. Mark Wright, Mr. Fred Cox, and Mr. Ed Smith; and from the landscape firm, Mr. Bill Swain, Mr. Bill Mullin, and Mr. Tom Borellis. We are pleased to have all of you here. It is now my pleasure to introduce to you the chairman, whom we call the Rector, of our Board of Trustees. He brings, in the tradition of our fine chair- men, quiet and dynamic leadership to that group of persons upon whom this school depends so much for leadership and for sustenance. He is himself a distin- guished alumnus of the College and the School of Law and until his recent retirement had been general counsel and senior vice president of the Campbell Soup Company. It is my pleasure to introduce to you Mr. E. Marshall Nuckols. Frances and Sydney Lewis relax before the start of the ceremonies. REMARKS E. Marshall Nuckols Rector of the Board of Trustees Thank you, President Huntley. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis, Mr. Justice Powell, Dean Steinheimer, ladies and gentlemen. I would like to join President Huntley in welcoming all of you here today. This is a very auspicious and his- toric occasion for Washington and Lee, and we are de- lighted that so many of you have come to share it with us. Bob Huntley and I have been discussing for a number of days what properly should be included in a building dedication program. And I must say we are somewhat confused on the subject. There seems to be a curious anomaly in building dedications. They don’t usually dedicate a building until it is a year or two old, which sometimes seems a little anticlimatic. A ship is christened when it is launched—before it ever takes its maiden voyage. But you don’t dedicate a building until its shakedown is well behind you. In this instance, the law school has been occupying the building for almost a full school year. And it has been known as Lewis Hall for a great deal longer than that. But I am sure that at this stage of the game, even if we tried, we couldn’t get Dean Steinheimer out of the building; so I think we will go ahead and formally dedicate it, and we are delighted to be able to display it to all of you here today. I am pleased, privileged, and honored on behalf of the Trustees formally to accept this magnificent structure and to proclaim it to be Lewis Hall, the home of Washington and Lee University’s School of Law. But actually that formal dedication is only a small part of our reason for our being here today. Our true purpose is to honor those who made this day possible. First and foremost are Frances and Sydney Lewis, whose generous donations made possible the building of this structure and who have endowed the law center. Sydney Lewis graduated from Washington and Lee with an A.B. degree in 1940, and he then attended the law school until he decided that maybe business was more his interest than law and transferred to the Har- vard Business School. After that he went on to make a spectacular success out of Best Products Company, which today is the most successful operation of its type in the country. And we would like to think that maybe some small part of that success was due to the education that he received here. Frances and Sydney are two of the warmest, most gentle, most genuine, most generous people that you can possibly imagine. And they have completely endeared themselves to the entire University family, of which they are now an integral part. Washington and Lee has had many benefactors in its long history, but there are few whose gifts have been as great or have been given so freely and unselfishly. Frances and Sydney: the Trustees, the University, the law school faculty, law students, and generations of law students to come are and will be eternally grateful to you for what you have done for this University. There simply are not words to express our appreciation adequately. There are many others who deserve credit and only a few can be named. Bob Huntley has mentioned some, and I would like to mention a few more. First, Dr. Hus- ton St. Clair, who was Rector or chairman of the Uni- versity Trustees at the time the development program for the decade of the ’70s was formulated. That program called for raising $56 million by the end of this decade, $36 million of it by 1976. It took strong leadership, which Dr. St. Clair provided, and great courage and foresight to adopt goals that were con- siderably larger than the entire total that had been raised in the University’s history up to that date. A new law school was high on the list of projects that was in- cluded in that program. Next I would like to mention Dr. John Newton Thomas, who succeeded Dr. St. Clair as Rector. To Jack Thomas fell the task of getting this gigantic undertaking on its way. And a considerable part of our success is due to his leadership, which was inspira- tional. Not only that; he traveled countless thousands of miles calling on members of our Achievement Council and major prospects, and he is still at it today as Rector Emeritus and Trustee Emeritus. And I might add that he has had the responsibility for seeing that the weather is good today, and he has done a very good job at it. John Stemmons, a University trustee who was chair- man of our Achievement Council. John formulated strategy; he gave unstintingly of his time; he continually exhorted his fellow Trustees, or cousins as he calls them, to get out and run their trap lines. It was John who emphasized that in a campaign of this kind it is extremely important to get people to give from what he called the southeast corner of their balance sheets— in other words, to make gifts out of capital or net worth, rather than just from income. And we have only Members of the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals judged the Burks Moot Court competition finals. Earlier in the day, the court heard four cases in a session of its May Term in the Moot Court Room. The judges were Donald S. Russell, John A. Field Jr., and H. Emory Widener Jr., ’53L. to look around us here today to get some idea how much we owe to John Stemmons’ efforts. Finally and in particular, I would like to mention a person whom Bob Huntley has already mentioned, but who deserves mentioning again, Ross Malone. A former president of the American Bar Association and general counsel of General Motors Corporation, Ross succeeded Dr. Thomas as Rector. Despite failing health, he labored diligently to carry the campaign to new heights. Unfortunately, Ross did not live to see the fruits of his efforts. He never saw Lewis Hall, but those of you who have toured the building have seen the Ross Malone Room, which is but a small tribute to the esteem in which he was held. We are very pleased that his widow, Ami, is with us here today. Obviously, we are quite proud of this law school building and are very pleased that our law school is located in an area that does such justice to its innate quality. Over the years, the graduates of this law school have distinguished themselves in many fields: in the practice of law, in business, in the Judiciary, and in public life. And we are fortunate to have here with us today one of the most distinguished of our law school alumni, and it is particularly appropriate that he appear on this program, for not only is he a justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, he is also a Trustee of this University. And it is my great pleasure and privilege to introduce to you Mr. Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr. The faculty library on the upper level of Lewis Hall provides ample work space as well as individual faculty carrels. REMARKS The Honorable Lewis F. Powell, Jr. Associate Justice, The Supreme Court of the United States Mr. Rector, President Huntley, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis, ladies and gentlemen. At the outset I join our Rector in paying special tri- bute to Frances and Sydney Lewis. With the exception of the $50,000 given by George Washington, no single gift has meant as much to this University as the magnificent structure to be dedicated today. The roots of this law school go back to 1866, more than a century ago. In that year a law department was annexed to Washington College. Judge Brockenbrough, its only professor, submitted his first report to President Robert E. Lee in 1867. Of 27 enrolled for the one-year course, 21 survived the ordeal of a three-day oral examination. Each of them received the B.L. degree. This is not the occasion, in view of the heat and of what lies ahead of us over there under those tents, for even the briefest history of this law school. Yet the life and measure of an educational institution depend on the stature of its leaders and the scholarship of its faculty. I will, therefore, mention the names of the deans who provided the leadership for more than a century for the life of this school, names that are honored by generations of students: John Randolph Tucker, Charles A. Graves, Harry St. George Tucker, Williams Reynolds Vance, Joseph R. Long, Martin P. Burks, William Hayward Moreland, Clayton E. Williams, Charles P. Light, and Robert E. R. Huntley, and our present fine dean, Roy L. Steinheimer, Jr. In any litany of great names associated with the law school there was one professor known to every Virginia lawyer, John B. Minor. It also is customary at dedicatory ceremonies to talk about the product of the law school. Have its graduates EA ae EA a a re, become leaders of the bar? Have they obtained offices of public trust and served the public well? No one familiar with the history of this law school is in any doubt as to the answers to these questions. Few law schools of anything like comparable size have produced as many leaders in the law. Rather than attempt a lengthy catalogue of alumni who have added to the fame of W&L, I cite only the example of the current Virginia judiciary. Of the seven justices of the Virginia Supreme Court, two are our graduates, Alex M. Harman and A. Christian Compton. Of the seven authorized active judges of the United States Court of Appeals for the states of the 4th Circuit, H. Emory Widener is an alumnus. And of the eight active United States District Judges in Virginia, John A. MacKenzie and James C. Turk also are graduates, and Judge Walter Hoffman, who is here today, is a senior judge and a former chief judge of the Eastern District of Virginia. Constraints of time prevent my mentioning Washington and Lee alumni who sit on other courts in this state and in other states. I do digress to say that the name of John Randolph Tucker has been mentioned by our distinguished Tucker lecturer. He was the second dean of this law school. His great grandson and namesake John Randolph Tucker III now sits on the Circuit Court of the City of Richmond. And I think Bunny Tucker is with us today. Although I hesitate to mention additional names when the list seemingly is endless, I suppose a program of this kind would not possibly be complete without reference to John W. Davis and Newton D. Baker, both of whom were widely supported for the presidency of the United States. Mr. Davis as you know, of course, was the Democratic Party nominee in 1924. And as a personal privilege, because we were in school together and dear friends for many, many years I mention Ross L. Malone as one of those who held Guests were given a packet of items pertaining to the dedication ceremony, including a 32-page, profusely illustrated booklet describing the building and the School of Law. highest the honor of this school. He was the leading trial lawyer in the southwestern states of our country. He served as deputy attorney general of the United States, as president of the American Bar Association, and, as our Rector has said, as general counsel and vice president of General Motors and Rector of this University. Perhaps I have said enough to suggest, I hope not too immodestly, that, like Webster’s Dartmouth, though we are a small school, there are many who owe it much as well as those who love it. John W. Davis delivered the class oration here in 1895. He voiced the truism that we are heirs to all who have gone before us. Those who are privileged at present and in the years to come to teach and to study law in Lewis Hall are indeed heirs to the greatest tradi- tion with which I am familiar in this area. It is well that this is true. We have witnessed in recent years an unprecedented interest in the study of law. Some 30,000 young people will be graduated from our law schools this spring. It may be that the number of lawyers again will exceed the demand for legal services. In that event, the flood tide of applicants to law schools will surely recede. Only schools of the highest quality will continue then to attract students of the highest competency. We can be confident that Washington and Lee with its superb faculty, with this superb facility made available by Frances and Sydney Lewis, will be such a school. Thank you very much. Lewis Hall provides a study carrel for each student. President Huntley: And now I am going to run a risk of making Frances and Sydney Lewis a bit irate with me by telling you the truth about them. That they are intellectually profound and talented, that their business acumen is sharp, and that their business ethics are above reproach are not things that are new to you. Nor indeed, I suspect, are the other characteristics that I will men- tion. But the way in which they combine these characteristics is, in my judgment, to use an overworked term in this case accurately applied, unique. Their warmth and generosity and unselfishness have been referred to, but could not be overemphasized. Indeed, it has occurred to me that they have so little in them of the meanness that afflicts mankind that they do not even recognize it in others. I used to think that, and then it occurred to me that that wasn’t really the case. It isn’t that they don’t recognize it in others; they simply refuse to acknowledge it. Their expectations of others are to encounter the same openness of spirit and generosity which they would not admit, but which I can assure you they have, and which they combine with the other characteristics I have mentioned. Perhaps the warmest tribute that could be paid to them ts this: I believe that there is no one who knows the Lewises who do not love them, and we are certainly among them. I am going to ask them to stand and let us thank them at this time. [Prolonged applause] Now that I have run that risk, I will tell you that Sydney and Frances have agreed to make some comments to us, and I will ask Sydney to do that first. James W. Whitehead (center) talks to guests about the paintings of Louise Herreshoff, which were displayed in Lewis Hall for their first Lexington exhibition. Louise Herreshoff was the wife of Euchlin Reeves, ’27L. The paintings came to Washington and Lee in 1967 along with the Reeveses’ gift of Chinese Export Porcelain, selections from which were also on display in Lewis Hall. REMARKS Sydney Lewis Thank you, Mr. President. Friends, the story of this law building begins back in September, 1936, when a 16-year-old freshman, after a few days at freshman camp, began attending daily orientation meetings in Lee Chapel. These meetings were to convey to the freshman class the ideals, goals, and traditions of this University and to start us off on an educational experience which was to leave its imprint in an incredible way on each one of us. The then-President of the University, Dr. Francis Pendleton Gaines, spoke to us daily. Among the many things that impressed me and have lived with me down through the years was his constant reminder to us that none of us was fully paying for his education, that the financial contributions of benefactors such as George Washington, Cyrus McCormick, Andrew Carnegie, and others made our education possible, and he hoped that each of us would always remember this when the day arrived that we were fortunate enough to have means of our own to share. The story continues on to 1970, when a very remarkable thing happened to my wife Frances and me. We found ourselves in the fortunate and incredible position of having the ability of helping make Washing- ton and Lee superior for future generations of students. At that time we called Washington and Lee together with several other institutions in which we had an interest, advising them that we would like to consider giving some financial support and requesting that proposals be submitted to us outlining some of the pressing needs which would require considerable re- sources. ESE ESSERE SE SEG SEEN SSE AEST IIR INSTR 5 ETS a RR SE A Oa rrr The next thing we knew Dr. John Newton Thomas, the then-Rector of the Board of Trustees, knocked at our door. And over lunch we talked about how exciting it would be for us to choose among various projects in the half-million dollar range. President Huntley visited us in Richmond to discuss in some detail a variety of needs which had already been designated in the University’s development program for the decade of the ’70s, which was about to be undertaken. Then came a weekend in Lexington, hosted by President and Mrs. Huntley, so we could actually see the campus and areas in need of aid, ending with what we thought was a mere casual walk around the completed model of the proposed new, but as yet unfunded, law school. On the way home Frances and I both experienced an exhilarating thought—that we could give the entire law school building if we wanted. And we both knew right then that we both did want it. Of course to realize that it was possible to give the entire law school building was mind-boggling. But the future doesn’t really belong to buildings alone, and to give a building is not really completely satisfying. Another call to President Huntley, and this time a meeting with him and Roy Steinheimer, the Dean of the School of Law—and the instant recognition of all of us that we were looking to invest in just the kind of favorite project that they had temporarily put on the back burner—a law research center. This then was the missing part, now found, for a complete package for human development. Most creative plans that are actually translated into action are the results of the fortuitous coming together of some very diverse and superior elements. In this case, there was first the school, Washington and Lee, small enough and good enough to be able to take action and leave its fine imprint on society, and small enough and good enough to allow students and pro- fessors to mix in a way that would allow big ideas to sift up and down. Then there was Bob Huntley and Roy Steinheimer, two practical, hard-headed visionaries, who never accept anything but the best, and who know that they must go out and get it. And there was the outstanding Board of Trustees under the dynamic leadership of Dr. John Newton Thomas, a board of unusual courage and commitment, a board that was about to announce to its constituency a development program which required the University to raise the unbelievable sum of $56 million during the next decade if Washington and Lee was to attain its highest goals and aspirations. President Huntley, as I am sure most of you know, recently announced the successful completion of Phase I of this development program in which the University has received gifts in excess of $37 million. Then finally there was the element of financial resources which Frances and I fortunately had in our keeping. These facts, then, made this building and law center the very best possible investment in the future. It has always been obvious to my friends that the most meaningful influences in my life have been my wife Frances and this University. Anyone not an alumnus of Washington and Lee cannot really understand the very deep and special attachment to the University held by its alumni. My wife Frances comes closer to understanding that warmth of feeling than anyone I know. And that is the main reason we were able to respond as we did. To be able to contribute in a meaningful way to Washington and Lee is a wonderful and exciting experience. This is truly a great day for Frances and Sydney Lewis. We hope it will turn out to be an equally meaningful day in the history of this Uni- versity. One of the five major classrooms in Lewis Hall. 9 President Huntley: A year or so ago our very able assistant, Frank Par- sons, made a comment about the Lewises that just occurred to me: “They drive an easy bargain.” Now it is my pleasure to introduce to you the Dean of the School of Law at Washington and Lee, Dean Roy L. Steinheimer. REMARKS Frances Lewis Thank you. I think I just heard a speech about a very old- fashioned concept called loyalty. So, Washington and Lee, no matter what the last speaker said, you and I are in it together. We are both benefactors of the last speaker’s loyalty. It feels good. Sydney and I will receive pleasure, are receiving pleasure, every day of our lives thinking about the ideas for human survival, for human beings living together, that could lie within the grasp of the law center people—for many generations beyond ours, and that was our plan. It is to the research informed by the minds and sensibilities of the men and women to come that must be left the continuous development of basic legal principles—if in fact one still believes that the law is living and breathing and not just thrashing about and about to die. This beautiful building cannot make the law responsive to changing needs so that people may continue to live together. That creative work re- quires inspiration, and each of us defines that as she chooses. But certainly inspiration as expressed through human conception and in the end, necessarily, human action, made this elegant container of the law school and of the future law school center help the people who will work here to approach elegant solutions to contemporary legal problems. We will even applaud solutions that are not very elegant. Sydney and I can’t live long enough to know what may happen here, but we are enjoying our expectations now, and that is the , fun of it. Thank you The Board of Trustees met nearly all day on the eve of the dedication in one " of the seminar rooms of Lewis Hall.

Steinheimer Dean of the School of Law Mr. President, Mr. Justice Powell, Frances and Syd- ney Lewis, alumni and friends of our University. Pursuit of excellence in education has become a tradition at Washington and Lee and has existed for more than two centuries. Our presence here today to dedicate Lewis Hall symbolizes the perpetuation of that tradition. The majestic gift of Frances and Sydney Lewis, together with the generous bequest of Wilbur Hall, has fortified the aspirations of our law school community to achieve excellence in our educational processes. Wilbur Hall was a devoted friend, alumnus and supporter of our law school’s activities over a consider- able period during his lifetime. As an eminent lawyer he understood the vital importance of library resources to the educational processes of a law school. He wanted to assure this law school that it had such resources. His Trustees had lunch in the faculty lounge. bequest accomplishes this objective by making it possible for us to acquire over the years one of the finest law library collections in this country. And the service of this fine library collection will provide to scholars, students, and practicing lawyers an enduring memorial to Wilbur Hall. The gift of Frances and Sydney Lewis to our law school is without parallel, and it reflects, as you can see from their comments, their deep interest in people and in the social and economic forces which affect our lives. They are acutely aware of the forceful impact of our legal structure and its processes on our society. They see in the process of the education of law students that this is a pivotal point where their perceptions as to the functions of the law as a tool for structuring a better society can be communicated to the end that the graduates of our law school can be not only fine pro- fessionals but will be effective leaders in our com- munity. This interest of Frances and Sydney Lewis coupled with a respect for our University and its aspirations, as you can see, has motivated their gift which is now embodied in Lewis Hall. This structure is unsurpassed as a home for a com- munity of students, teachers, and scholars with a common interest in the law. It provides an inspiring environment for the exploration and contemplation of legal problems for the teaching of law and for the absorption of legal concepts by students of the law. It also provides elegant housing for the library collection which was contemplated by Wilbur Hall. But this is not all that Frances and Sydney Lewis have done for us. Lewis Hall contains space for housing law center research activities which will explore the interaction of law with our ever-changing social and economic needs in society. And typical of their perceptiveness, they recognize that housing for Reading room of the Wilbur C. Hall Law Library, which opens onto a terrace at right. The library is named for a 1915 law graduate, a generous bene- factor of the School of Law. 11 such a center was not alone enough. They realized that we would need financial resources to undertake these important research activities. So in addition to Lewis Hall they have given us a $2-million endowment to support these law center research activities. This en- dowment will add a new and exciting dimension to the more traditional facet of the processes of our legal education. Our gratitude to Frances and Sydney Lewis for their overwhelming generosity is deeply felt. But I find that gratitude is an emotion that is not easily articu- lated. It is even more difficult to articulate when one understands the spirit with which this gift was given. Frances and Sydney Lewis are not donors who attach strings, impose conditions, establish rules, and exact promises. Their gift has been a naked act of faith, faith in the history and traditions of our law school and, more important, faith in its future. While our gratitude to Frances and Sydney Lewis cannot adequately be expressed in words, it can and will be demonstrated by our action. In years ahead our pursuit of excellence in legal education must and will be infused with new vigor. The resources that they have so generously provided to us will be used to move our law school into the vanguard of legal education in the years to come and thus vindicate the faith they have shown in us. Herbert Wechsler, Harlan Fiske Stone Professor of Constitutional Law at Columbia University, delivered the 29th John Randolph Tucker Lecture. His lecture will be published in the Washington and Lee Law Review. a RESPONSE President Huntley This day belongs to the Lewises, and it also belongs to you and me and to Washington and Lee. And I am not going to extend this ceremony much longer. I do want to make just one comment. One of the great American jurists said something of the law, you may recall. He said, “The law never is, it is always about to be.” Never is, it is always about to be. So it is with Washington and Lee. In fact, our mottos remind us of that: “Not unmindful of the future.” Think of the connotation of that little simple statement. It reminds you of the feats and the ideals of the past, and to face forward. And the other motto in our crest: “Test or try all things’”—suggesting to us that we be intellectually skeptical without becoming skeptics, that we be idealists without being ideologues, that we be trusting without being fools, that we look ahead, but never forget the past. We rededicate Washington and Lee University and its School of Law to that kind of aspiration. Law Professor Charles V. Laughlin talks with Trustee John W. Warner in one of the lounges of Lewis Hall.

The Saga of ‘Jockey John’ and the Judge Again It Was Some Party Lewis Hall may seem to be the last word in legal education—and it is. But Washington and Lee was not about to forget its past, even on so auspicious an occasion as its dedication. Back in 1824, W&L (then called Washington College) dedicated another magnificent structure, Washington Hall, which today stands as the central building on the Colonnade, a National Historic Land- mark. Trustees of the struggling little college had bud- geted $3,000 for the project, a reasonable sum in those long-ago days. But the building ended up costing a staggering $9,000. Washington College, however, had an angel: John Robinson, a near-illiterate Irish immigrant who had made a name for himself trading aes . es. as horses. His nickname throughout his life, in fact, was Judge Alex Harman begins toasts to the Lewises. “Jockey John.” Eventually, Robinson branched out into 13 President Huntley joins the ceremony. Souvenir tin cups filled and waiting. Washington and Lee University May 7, 1977 In the Tradition of Jockey John Robinson Each cup bore this label. 14 Judge Harman serves the President. trading slaves and making excellent whiskey at Hart’s Bottom, his estate, which is now the city of Buena Vista. Robinson revered George Washington, and consequently he was deeply interested in the college Washington had endowed. He contributed most of the money needed for Washington Hall. (In all, Jockey John’s contributions during his life and by way of his estate, which he left entirely to the college, totaled more than $67,000—making him the most generous benefactor in the first century-and-a-quarter of the in- stitution’s existence.) Came the day of the cornerstone-laying, and Jockey John resolved to send over from Hart’s Bottom a 40- gallon barrel of his very best 15-year-old whiskey for the ceremony—“fruited and ropy . . . the finest ever seen in Rockbridge,” according to a chronicle of the era. “He expected that gentlemen whose notice he de- sired to win would be present in great numbers” and “would praise it as genuine nectar as they partook.” The college authorities were clearly apprehensive (and with good reason, as it turned out). Robinson, however, was too good a friend of the college’s not to be obliged. So the barrel was set up on the Front Campus, and the ceremony began. But people in town had heard about what was happening over at the college, and hastened to the campus to watch. “For a time,” the 19th-century account reported, “some courtesy in the order of approach was observed. “But the thirsty multitude soon broke through all restraint, and armed with tin cups, pitchers, basins, buckets, and a variety of dippers—some of them more handy than nice—rushed for the barrel, and soon gave a glorious exhibition of what free whiskey can do for the noble creature made in the image of God.” (“It must have been some party,” Dr. Ollinger Cren- shaw wrote 145 years later in General Lee’s College.) Things quickly got so out of hand, in fact, that dis- tressed college officials finally had to axe the keg to pieces, bringing the out-of-control party to a dramatic halt. Afterwards, Jockey John expressed deep humiliation. “He had not supposed the rabble, but only such as were invited to drink, would march up to the The President raises a toast. fountain opened by him.” He was aghast that “the un- limited hoi polloi” had contrived to “pervert what was intended by him for the taste and enjoyment of gentle- men into a horrid riot of the rabble.” At Washington and Lee, precedents like Jockey John’s party sometimes have a way of transforming themselves into traditions. And so it was that an eminent W&L graduate, Alex M. Harman (law, 1944; honorary LL.D., 1973), justice of Virginia’s Supreme Court of Appeals, decided to provide the “nectar” to commemorate the dedication of Lewis Hall. He had promised President Huntley almost 10 years ago—when a new law building “seemed an impossible dream”—that ifthe University could put up the building, he’d put on a celebration in the tradition of Jockey John. Justice Harman has contacts of a very special sort in Scotland, which is the Hart’s Bottom of these days, and he arranged to have 45 gallons of superb scotch malt sent over just for the occasion. He even had the original keg shipped, and provided a generous supply of genuine tin cups too. More than 1,300 of them were given out, with a splash of “nectar” neat for those who chose to participate in the tradition fully; empty for those who subscribe to other vices, or to none at all. There was only one single detail, in fact, which everyone was determined not to duplicate this time— the 1824 ceremony’s abrupt and undignified conclusion. Justice Harman speculated that President Huntley “is enough of a traditionalist” that he probably arranged to have an axe hidden close by, just in case, but the occasion was so decorous that nobody ever found out whether he really did. The consensus was that it was just about the best scotch anybody there had ever tasted. Conoisseurs of fine spirits, and there were many, were delighted. Everyone praised it as “genuine nectar as they partook,” just the way Jockey John had hoped they would the first time around. There were enthusiastic toasts to Frances and Sydney Lewis and to Justice Harman. They toasted Jockey John Robinson too—whose gratification, from wherever he was watching, must surely have been com- plete at last. The first ceremonial sips. Whether one envisioned it as an op- portunity to express a heartfelt “thank- you” to the Lewises or as a reason for a splendid party, everyone in the Univer- sity community worked—and worked hard—to make the Lewis Hall dedication a dramatically memorable occasion. Some integral ingredients of the dedication dated from years ago—such as the offer of Justice Alex M. Harman, ’44L, of a keg of scotch to toast the new law school and University Photographer Sally Mann’s evocative construction photographs taken since 1973 and dis- played in Lewis Hall during the dedica- tion weekend. But as the occasion neared, the intricate tasks of preparing for thousands of guests began to take shape for the entire University staff. Gerald J. Darrell, manager of Evans Dining Hall, began months ago to make plans for W&L’s “biggest weekend ever.” In addition to the gargantuan luncheon for 1,500 guests—held far away from the dining hall on the front lawn of Lewis Hall—Darrell had to prepare (and find space in his walk-in cooler) for an alumni reunion buffet on Friday night and the Board of Trustees banquet on Saturday evening—and all of it worked in around regular meals for 300 to 400 students, three times each day. He solved his storage and transpor- tation problem by renting a large refrigerated truck and loading it with the luncheon victuals his crew worked practically around-the-clock to prepare. oe The on-and-off food truck. But as he was leaving for home Friday night, he happened to check the temperature in the truck—and discovered it was a balmy 60 degrees, rather than the cool mid-30s it should have been. He called the University’s maintenance shop, and within minutes Henry Black, an electrician, Roy Smith, a refrigeration expert, and James Brown, associate superintendent of buildings and grounds, had arrived. They soon discovered the problem—a lack of Freon in the cooling system— and found some in the chemistry lab to replace it. In the meantime, every tasty 16 The feeding of the 1,500 and other miracles Chef Charles Dunn and Dining Hall Manager Gerald Darrell on the scene of the feast. tidbit had to be moved off the truck (360 Ibs. of freshly made fruit salad, 120 dozen hardboiled eggs, 155 lbs. of ham, 125 gallons of tea, and 4,500 freshly cooked drumsticks) and squeezed so tightly into the walk-in cooler that it was impossible to walk in. The next morning, before breakfast preparations could begin (because, after all, everything was blocked because of the previous night’s emergency move), the food had to be transferred onto the once-again refrigerated truck. The on-campus logistics for Justice Harman’s scotch toast were handled by the University’s publications and news offices. (As Mr. Harman noted, getting it to campus took much more than that—the indispensable cooperation of the American Distilling Co. of Peters- burg and the Virginia ABC Board, for instance.) With meticulous attention to the details of the story of “Jockey John” Robinson that had inspired Justice Harman from the start, the whole Shen- andoah Valley was scoured from top to bottom for old-fashioned pitchers and authentic tin cups—flea markets, “antique” stores, junk shops. Like Dorothy, though, W&L ultimately learned that happiness could be found in its own back yard: everything necessary ended up coming from B. P. Knight’s general store in Buena Vista. Preparations continued practically up to the dedication ceremony itself. On Friday the northernmost Lewis Hall parking lot was finally paved, providing more than 40 much-needed parking spaces for the ceremony the next day. As the Trustees watched the comings and goings of the heavy paving equipment during their meeting in Lewis Hall, presidential assistant Frank Parsons wryly remarked, “One thing nice about Washington and Lee is that we never leave anything to the last minute.” Additional landscaping and mulching, traffic lines on the access roads and parking lots, and careful policing of the area were all completed within moments of the dedication. Even the undergraduates got into the act. Mobilized by senior Terry Atwood, more than a dozen of them made themselves available as chauffeurs and messengers for the visiting dignitaries; they ran a limousine service to the Roanoke and Shenandoah Valley Airports; then drove guests to Lewis Hall and back again, took suits to the cleaners, fetched newspapers, and provided umbrellas when a brief downpour—just as the lunch and libation drew to a close—threatened to drench their guests. After their busy weekend, the students unanimously agreed that their efforts were well rewarded by getting to know Washington and Lee’s great and generous. “It was fun,” said freshman Danny Carucci, “especially eating breakfast with Justice Powell while “Umm, good,” was the word. waiting for his flight back to Washing- ton.” And Terry Atwood got a kick out of grocery shopping with Sydney Lewis. ‘The months of preparation, last- minute problems, and efforts to make the dedication the greatest occasion ever were apparent to Frances and Sydney Lewis. In one of many letters they wrote to campus friends following the dedication, they expressed their special appreciation to the people behind the scenes who made the weekend such a success and so much fun. Those people have learned, perhaps from the Lewises themselves, that there is a joy in giving. Thank you, Cousin John Retiring Trustee John M. Stemmons (left) is elated to receive his very own pigeon, although sculptured, from the hands of Trustee Isadore M. Scott. John M. Stemmons, a member of the Board of Trustees for 12 years and chairman of the University’s Achievement Council since its inception five years ago, has retired. Stemmons, a legendary Dallas businessman and land developer, was elected trustee emeritus by the Board at its May meeting on the weekend of the dedication of Lewis Hall. He had formally concluded his board duties in February—when the Achievement Council reported it had surpassed its $36 million Dec. 31, 1976, fund-raising goal by more than $1.7 million. Perhaps one of the most colorful board members of all times, Stemmons was fond of describing his and his Achievement Council colleagues’ role in raising funds for the University as “pigeon hunting” and “trap running.” And on the Lewis Hall weekend he even received a one-of-a-kind objet d’art to remind him forevermore of his prowess at the sport: a sculpture of (what else?) a pigeon—wearing a mortarboard. It was the inspired creation of Jonathan David Scott, the sculptor son of fellow board member and Mrs. Isadore M. Scott. Bringing in funds for W&L takes “blood, sweat, tears, some head-beating, a hell of a lot of traveling, and a lot of cajoling,” he once remarked. His goal was to persuade people to recognize “a debt to the school—we were all subsidized when we went there, by virtue of past endowments that started with George way back yonder. “No one goes to Washington and Lee without coming away with a broadened concept and vision of life,” he said. “I feel it has been most constructive in the development of the kind of character I am.” Stemmons’ geniality and devotion to Washington and Lee—which he attended for three years as a member of the Class of 1931, but from which he never graduated because of the De- pression—are matched only by his business genius. He and his late brother Storey, a 1927 law graduate, developed Dallas’ Trinity River Industrial District to the point that today it is among the most impressive complexes of its type in the country. Crossing through it is the Stemmons Freeway, named for their father; it is part of the Interstate system and is the principal route leading to the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport. In the district itself, where more than 1,000 firms are located, he has developed the six-building, 4,800,000-square-foot Dallas Market Center and the four Stemmons Towers office buildings (where he presides over the affairs of Industrial Properties Corp.), among other facilities. His wife—one of the few people whom he addresses other than as “Cousin” (he calls her “Mama” instead)—is Ruth Thomas Stemmons, the sister of Dr. John Newton Thomas, rector emeritus of the board and a fellow trustee of Cousin John’s until 1973. 17 pring Reunions, ’77 Anniversary Class Reunions were held on May 6-7 in coordina- tion with the Lewis Hall dedication activities, in which the re- turning alumni participated fully. They also joined in many activities of their own: receptions, cocktail parties on the terrace of the Alumni House, a buffet dinner, reunion banquets, and the annual meeting of the Washington and Lee Alumni Association (see page 23). On May 6, the Alumni Board of Directors held its semi-annual meeting throughout the day and had lunch with student leaders. The Reunion Classes were 1927, 1937, 1952, 1962, 1967, and the Old Guard (all classes before 1927). The pictures on these pages offer a sample of how it went. Talk on the Alumni House walk.

Robert Huntley, a teacher of Eng- lish at W&L for 15 years, has been named coordinator of the freshman year, associate admissions director, and associate dean of students. In his new post, Huntley will have responsibility for orientation and coun- seling of W&L freshmen, supervision of the dormitory counselor program, and other related duties. He will also have substantial responsibility for recruiting prospective students and will be a primary participant in the admissions decision process. He will continue to teach one course in English each term. Huntley, 48, ia a B.A. graduate of Wisconsin State University and received the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Wisconsin. His principal fields of teaching are the British novel and Russian literature in translation. He is the author of The Alien Protagonist of Ford Madox Ford, published in 1970 by the University of North Carolina Press, and of several scholarly articles and re- views. He has long been involved in W&L’s admissions and student-services 20 operations, and had become increasingly active in student recruitment and counseling in recent years in addition to his full-time teaching duties. Huntley succeeds William A. Noell Jr., who has held those positions at W&L since 1972. Noell, 34, joins the administration of the University of Virginia School of Law July 1 as director of the legal writing program and director of financial aid in the law school. He will have the rank of assistant professor on the General Faculty at U.Va. In addition to his admissions and freshman-year duties at W&L, Noell has taught tax accounting at W&L for seven years. He is a 1964 B.S. graduate of Washington and Lee and a law graduate of Virginia. W&L man wins Truman Scholarship A Washington and Lee University sophomore, M. Graham Coleman II, has been named one of the first 53 Truman Scholars in the nation. Under the program, established by Congress as a memorial to the late president, one Truman scholar was named this year from each state, the District of Columbia, and the Terri- tories. More than 1,250 colleges and uni- versities were invited to nominate potential candidates. The field was initially narrowed down to 700, then, following individual interviews by 13 regional selection committees, the 53 recipients were selected. Coleman won the Truman Scholar- ship from Louisiana. He is from New Orleans, and majors in European his- tory and English at Washington and Lee. His selection was announced by John W. Snyder, chairman of the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation and former Secretary of the Treasury under ‘Truman. The scholarships were formally conferred on the 27 men and 26 women recipients in May by Mrs. Margaret Truman Daniel, President Truman’s daughter, at a ceremony at the Truman Library in Independence, Mo. The scholarships provide an annual maximum award of $5,000 for up to four years of college and graduate-level courses leading to a career in public service. Coleman is managing editor of The Ring-tum Phi and is active in the Univer- sity Theatre and on the Student Recruitment Committee. He is also the M. Graham Coleman II newly elected president of his social fraternity, Pi Kappa Phi. Student elections, appointments James M. Underhill of Babylon, N.Y., has been elected president of the Student Executive Committee, for the coming year. George Griffin of Rockville, Md., was elected student body vice president. Neil Pentifallo of Cresskill, N.J., was elected secretary. In other student elections, J. Michael Gallagher, a rising junior from Augusta, Ga., was elected editor of The Ring-tum Phi by the University Publications Board and W. Temple Webber III of Houston, a rising senior, was elected editor of The Calyx. The Interfraternity Council elected Stephen E. Mattesky of Carlisle, Pa., a rising senior who is a member of Pi Kappa Phi, as its president for next year. WLUR-FM, the University radio station, will be directed next year by Charles Smith of Oklahoma City, newly appointed station manager. Lester J.

The program is modeled after one in W&L’s admissions office which has been in successful operation for eight years. Dewing, who is from Portsmouth, worked for two years in the W&L news office as a student writer, with respon- sibility for most routine newswriting activities and for preparing occasional articles for the alumni magazine. As assistant to Rom Weatherman, director of publications, Dewing will continue also to work closely with the news operation. The newly created position is the result of a rearrangement of assignments in the W&L administration rather than a staff expansion. Dewing is a member of The Society AS Biology Prof. John S. department. of Professional Journalists/Sigma Delta Chi and has worked extensively on The Ring-tum Phi and WLUR-FM, the campus radio station. W&L well represented at Virginia science assembly Sixteen members of the Washington and Lee faculty and student body presented papers at the 55th annual meeting of the Virginia Academy of Science at Virginia State College in Petersburg in May. In addition, two W&L professors judged portions of the 36th annual meeting of the Virginia Junior Academy of Science at the same time. The faculty members participating were James K. Shillington, George Whit- ney, and John H. Wise, professors of chemistry; Leonard E. Jarrard, professor of psychology; and Gary H. Dobbs, assistant professor of biology. Students who delivered papers are Shelby Bailey, Michael Burns, Stuart Craig Jr., John Dean III, Edward Gerhardt, Michael Knapp, William Schooley, James Sheridan Jr., Earl W.

Orchid collection donated to biology department More than 75 orchids from places such as southeast Asia, Mexico, Peru and Florida have been donated to the University’s biology department by Mr. Knox and William O. Hay (right) with orchids that Hay donated to the biology and Mrs. William O. Hay of Lexington. In addition to the orchids, Mr. and Mrs. Hay donated plant racks, extra pots and a small library of books and pamphlets about orchids. It had taken the Hays a dozen years to collect the orchids when they decided to donate them to Washington and Lee. W&L’s marathon man The winner of this year’s first annual 15-mile Ring-tum Phi Road Race, held in mid-May, was Frederic Schwab, professor of geology, who also ran in the older, more established Boston Marathon earlier this spring. It was Schwab’s first time in the Boston event, and he was impressed by the size of the crowd—more than a million people— that lined all 26 miles and 385 yards of the course. He placed in the top third (between 940 and 950) in the field of 3,100 entries. 12 faculty promotions Promotions in rank have been announced for 12 faculty members, effective Sept. 1. Named full professor of law was Roger D. Groot, currently associate professor.

Sprouse, ’28, distinguished career diplomat, has been established at Mc- Cormick Library. The fund is the gift of R. P. London, ’27, of Johnson City, Tenn. The fund will be used to purchase books in the fields of French literature, diplomacy, and diplomatic history. Librarian Maurice D. Leach Jr. said, in expressing gratitude for the fund, that such gifts add measurably to the li- brary’s overall collection and make pa useful and suitable memorials. Sprouse, who was U. S. Ambassador to Cambodia from 1962 to 1964, died April 28 in San Francisco. He had lived in Orinda, Calif., since his retirement in 1964. He served during the 1940s as U. S. Consul General in Kunming, China, and also on the staff of Gen. George C. Mar- shall, who was President Truman’s special representative to China. He was later chief of the State Department’s Division of Chinese Affairs in Washington, and held posts in Paris and Brussels before being sent to Cambodia. He was a native of Green Brier, Tenn.
