Honorary degrees ere awarded here in June to two prominent Washington and Lee alum- ni. They are, left, MELVIN IRVINE DUNN, JR. ’23, vice-president in charge of operations of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, of Cleveland, Ohio, who was awarded the honorary degree of doctor of science. DR. ARCHIBALD BOLLING SHEPPERSON, ’1 8, right, chairman of the English department, University of Virginia, and editor of The Virginia Review, was awarded the degree of doctor of letters. U niversity News OMMENCEMENT UNDER the trees was again the order of the day for 189 Washington and Lee sen- lors, as the g08th academic year came to a close on June 7 in cere- monies on the front campus lawn. President Francis P. Gaines award- ed degrees and delivered the grad- uation address, urging the seniors 2 to have faith in their country in “this pessimistic age.” “There will be questions in your lives to which there are no answers,” he warned, but he asked them to build upon a faith which is undiluted. ‘T’'wo honorary degrees were con- ferred, upon M. I. Dunn, ’23, and Dr. Archibald B. Shepperson, ’18. A third degree was announced, but not conferred. ‘The doctor of divin- ity degree will be awarded to Dr. Theodore F. Adams, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Richmond, when his health permits his at- tendance. Candidates for the Bachelor of Science degree were presented by Dean Leon F. Sensabaugh. Dean Lewis W. Adams of the School of Commerce and Administration presented the candidates for the Bachelor of Science in Commerce, and Dean Clayton E. Williams of the School of Law presented candi- dates for the Bachelor of Laws. The valedictory address was de- livered by Charles M. Drum of Richmond. The baccalaureate service was held the day before commencement, the speaker being Dr. Clarence W. Cranford, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church of Washington, D.C. For him, it was a repeat performance at Washington and Lee, as he was bac- calaureate speaker in 1942. Other events during the three- day finals were: the trustees’ meet- ing on June 5; two dances, with music by the Richard Maltby or- chestra; the Alumni Association meeting and luncheon; Alumni As- sociation Trustees meeting; a re- ception for seniors, parents, and guests at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Gaines; a commissioning ceremony for ROTC graduates; and a fare- well concert on the footbridge to Wilson Field at 1:15 a.m. for hardy students and dates who had already danced from g until 1. One of the most exciting, al- though unplanned events during graduation occurred on June 5, when a twin-engined DC-3 trans- port, seeking to land at Lexington International Airport to pick up Christopher T. Chenery, ’og, skidd- ed on the long, wet grass of the field, went through a fence, and ended across the highway, with its nose in a mudbank. Mr. Chenery, who had been attending the University THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Board of ‘Trustees’ meeting, left Lexington via other transportation, and the plane underwent thou- sands of dollars worth of repairs the following week, including the re- placement of both engines. Visitors, here to see the sights of Lexington during finals, duly included a visit to view the damaged plane, and a town policeman was sent out to maintain order. m AT ITS JUNE MEETING, the Board of Trustees gave tentative approval for a capital fund campaign which would provide resources to meet major needs of the University’s physical plant including new sci- ence, journalism, and gymnasium facilities. The proposed campaign is ex- pected to get underway some time in 1958, Dr. Francis P. Gaines said. Initial studies and surveys will be made in the fall, including an ap- praisal of the University’s fund- raising capacity by a_ professional consulting organization. Other action by the board in- cluded a five percent general salary increase for all full-time faculty members and employees, effective September 1. Also approved was a report by a special faculty study committee which recommended that the ulti- mate size of Washington and Lee’s student body be 1,150 undergradu- ates, plus 100 to 150 law students. This figure, representing an = in- crease of 22 percent over the current enrollment level, will be attained in 1970-71, by increasing the fresh- man class by five or six students each year. Board approval of the recommendation was made condi- tional to frequent reappraisal of the matter by its members. The trustees also established the Douglas Southall Freeman _profes- sorship in American History. ‘The new chair will honor the late Pulit- zer prize-winning author and editor for his “excellence as biographer of General Lee,” and also in recogni- tion of the fact that the University received for its library Dr. Free- man’s personal collection of books and pamphlets relating to Lee and the Civil War. The board also approved final plans for the dining hall-dormitory building. (See page 11). m@ FACULTY APPOINTMENTS eflective on September 1 include Lewis S. Minter, assistant professor in the law school; John M. Gunn, Jr., as- sistant professor of economics; Ed- gar Winston Spencer, assistant pro- fessor of geology; and Marion J]. Blanchard, instructor in mathema- tics. Good food, good conversation, and reunions with old friends characterized the luncheon given by the Alumni Association on June 6. Al- though the event was scheduled for outdoors, threatening skies forced the diners into Doremus gymnasium, where informality pre: vailed. Above are some of the alumni, wives, children, faculty, and staff who participated in this annual event. SUMMER 1957 Mr. Minter, who will replace Dr. Theodore Smedley in the law school has just completed law school this year. Dr. Smedley has been granted a one-year leave of absence to be visiting professor at Vanderbilt University. Replacing Dr. Jack N. Berhman, who is going to the University of Delaware to teach, Mr. Gunn is a native of Florida. He attended Washington and Lee in 1951-52, went to Georgia ‘Tech, and received his M.A. degree from the Univer- sity of North Carolina. He is near- ing the completion of his doctorate at Princeton University. Mr. Spencer, educated at Vander- bilt and Washington and Lee, has done graduate work at Columbia University and will get his Ph.D. degree at the end of the summer school. He replaces Dr. ‘Troy Las- well, who will teach at Louisiana Institute of Technology. An instructor for three years at Hunter College, New York, Mr. Spencer has done extensive geolo- gical field work in Montana and Wyoming and was a research as- sistant at the Lamont Geological Observatory in 1954, where he took part in a study of the ocean floor between New York and North Africa. Mr. Blanchard, appointed in- structor in mathematics, is a grad- uate of Wofford College, Spartan- burg, South Carolina, and served four years in the United States Navy as a radio technician. m™ DR. ALLEN MOGER, professor of his- tory at Washington and Lee, has been named a part-time professor of history at the University of Vir- ginia for the 1957-58 session. He will teach a two-semester course in “Twentieth Century United States ginia, who will be studying in In- dia on a Fulbright Fellowship. ‘The supervision of Professor Younger’s graduate students will also be in- cluded in Dr. Moger’s duties. He will commute to Charlottesville each Friday afternoon. m PAXTON DAVIS, assistant professor of journalism, addressed the 1957 graduate writing seminar of Johns Hopkins University. Davis, a Hop- kins alumnus, spoke on the writing of fiction. He is the author of ““Iwo Sol- diers,”’ a pair of novels published last year in one volume. ‘The stories have been purchased for use as tele- vision plays. m TWO FACULTY MEMBERS have been awarded substantial grants-in-aid from the Southern Fellowship Fund for advanced graduate work. Dr. Marshall Fishwick, associate professor of American studies con- ducted post-doctoral work this sum- summer on his current research project, “The Southern Code: Its Origin and Consequences.” Prof. James R. Connor, assistant professor of history, received a full year’s grant-in-aid for work to- ward his doctorate in the field of American diplomatic history. Mr. Connor had a temporary appoint- ment at Washington and Lee as a replacement for Dr. Ollinger Cren- shaw, who was on leave of absence last year to teach at the Naval War College. Dr. Fishwick, author of several books, sought to relate social, eco- nomic and political trends in the South so as to form a definite basis for a “Southern Code.” Mr. Connor, a graduate of the University of Iowa, will study the Dr. KENNETH D. WELLS, left, president of the Freedoms Foundation of Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, is shown as he presented President FRANCIS P. GAINES with the foundation’s George Washington Medal, its highest honor, at the baccalaureate service in June. The award was a complete surprise to Dr. Gaines, who served as chairman of the Foundation’s awards jury in 1957. Dr. Wells said Dr. Gaines is “known, trusted, and revered” by all learned men in America. DR. GAINES was also given an honor watch. History” for graduate sudents and advanced undergraduates. He replaces Professor Edward Younger of the University of Vir- 4 | THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE effect of World War I and its im- mediate aftermath had on the for- mulation and development of American Foreign policy from 1918 to 1941. The Southern Fellowship Fund is endowed by private resources, and its primary purpose is the ad- vancing of teaching and _ scholar- ship in Southern universities. @ COMMISSIONS AS ARMY reserve second lieutenants were awarded to fifty Washington and Lee Uni- versity seniors in ceremonies on June 7, in Lee Chapel, preceding commencement exercises. ‘Two seniors received commissions as ensigns in the U.S. Naval Re- serve, and two others became sec- ond lieutenants in the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve at the same cere- monies. Lt. Col. Charles E. Coates, Jr., professor of military science and tactics at Washington and Lee, presented gold bars and commis- sions to the Army personnel. Ma- rine officers and Navy officers con- ducted their phase of the program. Twelve other senior ROTC stu- dents became reserve officers upon completion of summer training at Fort George G. Meade in August. They attended the intensive 12- week program along with 66 other Washington and Lee military stu- dents. mw A CHECK TOTALLING $326,500 was received in June from the Ford Foundation, representing the final payment in the Foundation’s pro- gram to help raise faculty salaries at Washington and Lee. An accom- plishment grant of of $133,000 was included in this sum. SUMMER 1957 LIEUTENANT COLONEL TED Kerr of Midland, Texas, head of the student ROTC unit at Washington and Lee, is shown as he received his commission as a reserve second lieuten- ant in the Army, in commissioning ceremonies held just before graduation exercises on June 7. Handing him his commission is Army Lieutenant Colonel CHARLES E. COATES, JR., professor of military science and tactics, with Lieutenant CLAUDE E. ELEY, JR., assistant professor of military science and tactics, on the left. The first payment to the univer- sity, in the amount of $259,000, was made in July 1956, and included an accomplishment grant of $105,- ooo. This makes a total of $621,500 from the Foundation. Sixteen other Virginia colleges received checks from the Founda- tion, and five got accomphshment grants, in addition to the specified funds. ‘These grants were made to institutions which emphasized lib- eral arts and sciences, and had dem- onstrated leadership in improving faculty status and compensation. The other four schools winning these boosts were: Hollins College, University of Richmond, Ran- dolph - Macon Woman's College, and Sweet Briar. The Board of Trustees at Wash- ington and Lee voted to use the entire sum from the grants for in- creasing faculty salaries, and an- other approximate five per cent boost in pay scales goes into effect September 1. m FORTY PER CENT OF THE parents of Washington and Lee students in the last session were contributors to the 1956-57 Parents’ Fund. ‘There were 487 contributors for a total of $46,857.30, a record to be proud of. ‘The campaign closed June 30, 1957- M. M. Caskie, Jr., of Arlington, Virginia, will head the Parents’ Ad- visory Council next year. He suc- ceeds John E. Larson of Washing- ton, D.C., who served as co-chair- man in 1955-56 and chairman in 1956-57. Other officers elected in May are: vice-chairman, W. K. Allen Ferguson of Louisville, Ken- tucky; and chairman of the Parents’ Fund committee, W. T. Dixon Gibbs of Baltimore, Maryland. ‘The Parents’ Council, now in its third year, is designed to promote good relationships between the uni- 5 versity and the students’ parents. It was organized by the University Development Office. Last year, 329 parents gave $27,- 168 in unrestricted funds for use in improving the school. m AN UNUSUAL GIFT of $1,200 was re- ceived by Washington and Lee re- cently. It came from the First Na- tional City Bank of New York, as its portion in a program of financial aid to highter education. The grant was made on_ the basis of the number of graduates of the college who have been employ- ed by the bank for five years or more, or who have become oflicers of the bank. Washington and Lee was one of 109 colleges and universities sharing in the bank’s program. ‘The three Washington and Lee men with the bank are: W. Joe Pat- ton, ‘22; F. I. Mitchell, 25; and Riley P. Stevenson, ’29. The bank intends to repeat this grant to Washington and Lee each year that the employees remain in the active service of the bank. A FUND FOR ASSISTANCE to deserv- ing students in journalism and com- munications has been established here through a gift of $1,500 from an anonymous alumnus. President Francis P. Gaines said the gift would be known as the “Di- rector’s Fund,” and will be admin- istered at the discretion of Profes- sor O. W. Riegel, director of the university's Lee Memorial Journal- ism Foundation. ‘The donor indi- cated that he would make addt1- tional contributions yearly of ap- proximately the same amount. Either interest or principal will be used for student help, according to the donor’s specifications. THE INTERFRATERNITY will provide scholarship assistance to a Hungarian refugee student who will study at the university during the 1957-58 term. The student is Thomas Mandey, who studied English last semester at St. Michael’s in Vermont. He formerly attended university-level classes in science, German, and Rus- sian in Budapest. Arrangements for bringing Man- dey to Washington and Lee were handled through the World Uni- versity Service in New York City. Mandey has been in the United States since January 11. ‘The Hun- garian student plans to study radio and engineering at Washington and Lee, and hopes to move on to more advanced work at other American colleges. COUNCIL m# TWO BRITISH UNDERGRADUATE stu- dents will be given full scholarships Degrees Awarded, 1950-57 October 1956 Bachelor of Laws Bachelor of Science (Commerce) 3 Bachelor of Science Bachelor of Arts 7 ‘Totals 10 January June Total Previous 1957 1957 Year 3 27 30 26 2 4% 2 47 35 2 17 19 25 9 103 119 111 16 189 215 198 6 at Washington and Lee University this year as part of the university’s observance of the Jamestown Festi- val and the 350th anniversary of the founding of the first English settlement in America. Arranged through the auspices of the English-Speaking Union's Education Committee, the scholar- ships have been accepted by Alfred Harrison, of Nottingham, and Leslie T. F. Holyoak, of Herford- shire. Both are outstanding young scholars. Harrison, 19, attended Nottingham Bluecoat School and earned a_ state scholarship to Christ’s College, Cambridge. Holy- oak, also 19, attended Ayr Acad- emy and Berkhamsted School and later studied in Germany. Harrison plans to study econom- ics and related subjects while at Washington and Lee. Holyoak hopes to take courses in French and German literature and in music. Prof. Rupert N. Latture, faculty advisor to foreign students, said the scholarship grants will include full-time tuition and fees, and the Interfraternity Council will pro- vide arrangements for meals and lodging. The British students will cover their own transportation costs to and from England and will provide for other incidental expenses. m FOUR WASHINGTON AND LEE Uni- versity men have been awarded coveted fellowships for graduate study this year. ‘They are Thomas V. Litzenburg, Jrv., °57, Cumberland, Maryland, who will study under a grant from the Danforth Foundation, and Her- bert J. Hummers,’57, Valley Stream, New York, winner of a Woodrow Wilson fellowship. Danforth fellowships are award- ed to outstanding college seniors who plan to seek doctorate degrees in preparation for teaching careers. Litzenburg, 21, will attend Yale THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE University where he will work to- ward a doctorate in religion. Wilson fellowships go to young scholars who wish to explore grad- uate interests in order to determine whether they wish to enter teach- ing and scholarship careers. Hum- mers, 21, will study English at the University of Indiana. Two other students have been awarded Fulbright Scholarships for graduate study next year in France and Germany. Frank W. Ling, of Roanoke, Virginia, a freshman law student, will study German history at Ludwig Maximilians University in Muenchen, Germany. Joseph W. Frazier, of Tampa, Florida, a Euro- pean history major, will study French history at the University, Faculte des Lettres, Aix, France. THE 1957 CALYX was dedicated not to a person, but to the commem- oration of the 150th anniversary of the birth of General Robert E. Lee. In a prologue, the Calyx editors stated, “Not only do we respect General Lee as a man who believed in a cause and gave all to defend this cause, but also a man whose guidance and faith formed the foundation on which Washington and Lee has grown to its present stature. ‘Thus, in the realization of this fact, the staff of the 1957 Calyx has dedicated the yearbook to Robert Edward Lee, the man and the ideal.”’ Introduction and departmental division pages were printed in red, blue, and black ink on light gray antique paper. William H. Abeloff, Richmond, Virginia, was editor of the book. ‘The yearbook’s annual beauty queen was Miss Wilma Core, of Hammond, Louisiana, who was selected by TV star Steve Allen. # A LAW PROFESSOR who couldn’t teach classes because of a slipped SUMMER 1957 Law Professor WiLFrReD Ritz may look like he’s taking it easy, but he isn’t. Confined to his bed with a back injury, he nevertheless continued teaching his law classes in April and May with a special microphone hook-up devised by two of his students—one a telephone company man, the other a physics instructor. It all worked out successfully. disc in his back last spring chal- lenged the ingenuity of his students. Professor Wilfred J. Ritz teaches two courses required for gradua- tion, Agency and Conflicts. When doctors told him he would not be able to get out of bed, it looked as though he was through teaching for the year and his students were going to miss some important lec- tures in both courses. But Samuel L. Davidson, a senior law student, and Charles W. Gunn, Jr., an intermediate student, came up with the answer—a_ two-way telephone hook-up which would permit Ritz to teach from his bed- room, ask questions of the class, and hear answers and questions in re- turn. It was a cinch, since Gunn works as general commercial manager for the Lexington ‘Telephone Com- pany. He borrowed the necessary equipment and plugged in on both the student lounge telephone at the law school and the Ritz home phone. Davidson, a parttime physics instructor at Washington and Lee, designed and built a microphone boom which would enable Professor Ritz to talk from his immobile po- sition but still have his hands free to hold notes or textbooks. ‘The class heard Ritz’s voice trom a speaker in the base of a “hands- free’”” phone set on one of the class- room desks. A small but powerful microphone picked up_ student’s questions. ‘The teacher heard the class comments over a small speak- er which Davidson attached to Ritz’s regular telephone. He said he missed seeing class reaction to his lectures, but he agreed the arrange- ment was the best possible solution under the circumstances. And 60 students completed necessary work in the course. m SENIOR LAW STUDENT Robert R. Huntley of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, was awarded the annual Washington Literary Society award in May for “‘the most distinguished service to Washington and Lee” of any graduating student. A former vice-president of the student body, Huntley was recog- nized as a student whose impression 7 upon the university will be lasting, according to the citation. During his seven years at Wash- ington and Lee in undergraduate and law schools, Huntley was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Om1- cron Delta Kappa, and the Order of the Coif. He was an editor of the Law Review the past year. a BILL MCCANN, popular basketball and baseball coach at Washington and Lee for the past five years, re- signed this summer to accept the job of head basketball coach at the University of Virginia, his alma mater. Succeeding him is Louis (“Wee- nie’) Miller, chosen from “‘liter- ally dozens of applicants,” who for the past two years has enjoyed sig- nal success coaching the two sports at Hampden-Sydney College. Miller has never produced a loser at Hampden-Sydney in either basketball or baseball and his teams have been powers in the Mason- Dixon Conference. His basketball teams posted a 15-11 and 14-12 record, during the two years he was coach, while the baseball team won the conference title both years. At Washington and Lee, he will be coaching without the benefit of ath- letic scholarships, although one top- flight basketball man, Dom Flora, will be playing his last year in 57-58 as a scholarship holder. Dom was granted a scholarship just be- fore the amateur policy was adopt- ed. McCann succeeds Evan J. (“Bus”) Male at Wahooland, and Male will become business manager of ath- letics. McCann, regarded as one of the area’s finest young coaches, guided the Generals to their first 20-victory basketball season in his- tory last winter. ‘The team was sec- ond only to powerful West Virginia in the conference tournament in March. 8 This grinning foursome, gathered under the trees after commencement exercises on June 7, have all graduated now to bigger things. The fellow without the mortarboard, basketball coach Bit, McCann, will be coaching the Wahoo cagers come December. The other three, all stars on MCCANN’s Mink team the past year, are left to right, LEE MARSHALL, BARRY Strorick, and Barciay SmiruH, three big reasons why Washington and Lee had its first 20-victory basketball season in 1957. Commented McCann, “I have always wanted to return to Vir- ginia as long as I can remember. The basketball job there has been my goal since I started coaching ten years ago.” He praised Wash- ington and Lee as “a wonderful school.” His resignation was ac- cepted, “with the deepest regret” by President Francis P. Gaines. Miller, father of three children, also succeeds McCann at their Lexington residence. ‘The Millers moved in the McCann’s_ former home on campus in August. = JOHN Jj. FOx of Bluefield, West Virginia, was named Washington and Lee’s outstanding athlete for 1956-57. Fox, a four-year letterman on the swimming team, holds the school record in the breast stroke and butterfly events at all distances, and this year was the Big Six and Southern Conference _ butterfly champion. During the past year, Washing- ton and Lee athletic teams won 74 contests, while losing 66, although only five teams posted winning sea- sons—basketball (20-7); soccer (8-4); swimming (8-1); golf (5-1); and la- crosse (7-5.) Losers were football (1-7); cross-country (2-7); wrestling (3-6-1); rifle (6-7); baseball (8-10); track (2-4;) and tennis (4-7.). Special athletic awards made at LEE M. McLAUGHLIN assumes the job of Generals’ football coach here this fall, after a successful tenure as head coach and ath- letic director at Episcopal High School, Alexandria, Virginia. He succeeds W.

Six intersectional opponents, two of them in the All-American City ‘Tournament at Owensboro, Ken- tucky, Dec. 30-31, are on the card, as well as seven Southern Confer- ence foes. Five Little Eight con- tests and a single game with Big Six rival Virginia complete the schedule. Eight games are listed for the home court, Doremus Gymna- sium. Last year, the Generals compiled the winningest record in Washing- ton and Lee history when coach Billy McCann’s boys won 20 while losing only seven. Washington and Lee will have three players back of the six who helped the team to a second-place regular season finish in the Southern Conference and SUMMER 1957 runner-up tournament — honors. They are All-Southern Conference guard Dom Flora and Frank Hoss, both regulars, and reserve Gary Mc- Pherson.

He was unanimously elected by Kenyon trustees in late June to be president of the 133-year-old men’s college, oldest liberal arts school for men west of the Alleghenies. ‘The college, located at Gambier in central Ohio, was established by the first Episcopal bishop in the Northwest Territory in 1824 and consists of an undergraduate department and a seminary, Bexley Hall. In the re- cent Chicago Tribune survey, Ken- yon was ranked third best men’s college in the country. Dr. Lund was born in Anhui, China, the son of Episcopal mis- sionaries. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree cum laude in 1938 from Washington and Lee, and his Master’s degree in 1934. From 1935- 38, he was an instructor at Wash- ington and Lee, and then taught at the .University of Wisconsin as professor of European history. He has been chairman of the depart- ment of history and social science, as well as dean at State Teachers’ College in Florence, Alabama. He has served as president of the Tennessee Valley Convocation of Episcopal Laymen, and state di- rector of the Crusade for Freedom. He has been active as president of the Alabama Association of College Administrators; vice-president of the Alabama Historical Association; and as trustee of the Birmingham Foreign Policy Association. He is a member of the state committee on international fellowships of Rotary International. The Chicago Tribune Ranks Washington and Lee Ninth Best Men’s College N ANOTHER ACCOLADE to its fine I reputation throughout the na- tion, Washington and Lee Univer- sity has been ranked as the ninth best men’s college in the United States in an extensive survey by the Chicago Tribune. ‘The survey was the first authori- tative rating of America’s leading educational institutions in more than twenty years, and the first such rating ever conducted inde- pendently by a newspaper. ‘To arrive at its conclusions, the Tribune interviewed fifty universi- ty and college presidents, deans, ad- ministrative officers, scholars, and scientists in the United States and abroad. ‘The educators rated the schools on the basis of its faculty members; the quality of the re- search produced (as measured by publication); the scholastic apti- tude, intellectual curiosity and de- votion to serious study of the stu- dent body; the physical facilities of the schools; and—most important— the “ethos” of the institution, that is, whether it has the character of a community of scholars. Such an atmosphere, said the educators, must include faculty members with a genius for cultivating young minds. This interaction between the mind of the scholar and the mind of the student presupposes 10 “superior students, selected for their scholastic aptitude, intellec- tual curiosity, and devotion to ser- ious study.” ‘The results of these lists were syn- thesized, then measured against a compilation of data accumulated by the Tribune. These objective data included information on the col- leges attended by persons listed in Who’s Who in America, the schools where science Ph.D.’s received their initial training, the institutions where National Science Foundation scholarships are awarded, and the colleges which National Merit Scholarship recipients choose to attend. From the composite of all this information, final evaluations were made. According to the tabulation, the ten best men’s colleges are: b— Haverford in Pennsylvania Amherst, Massachusetts . Kenyon, Ohio . Wesleyan, Connecticut . Hamilton, New York . Union, New York 7. Bowdoin, Maine 8. University of the South, ‘Ten- nessee g. Washington and Lee, Vir- ginia 10. Williams, Massachusetts. Institutions in other categories, in order of their rating, are as fol- lows: Universities: Harvard, Yale, Uni- versity of California (Berkeley), University of Chicago, Columbia, Princeton, Michigan, Cornell, Wis- consin, and Stanford. Coeducational Colleges: Oberlin, Swarthmore, Carleton, Reed, Po- mona, Grinnell, Lawrence (Wis- consin), College of Wooster, Kala- mazoo, and Hope. Women’s Colleges: Bryn Mawr, Radcliffe, Barnard, Vassar, Mount Holyoke, Wellesley, Smith, Gou- cher, Pembroke, and Randolph- Macon Woman’s College. President Francis P. Gaines said, “I. am indeed pleased with the rating that Washington and Lee University received in the ‘Greatest Schools in the Nation’ survey. The findings, I feel, explicitly and au- thoritatively report what we at this university have sincerely believed for some time. The findings of the survey are a monument to the progress we have made and a testi- mony of our efforts. I know, with all confidence, that we shall con- tinue to strive for further improv- ment and the further enhancement of the fine reputation we already enjoy.” THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE This is the architects’ drawing of what the new buildings at Washington and Lee will look like when completed. Notice the present Student Union building on the left, which will be remodeled, with the present columns removed to make way for the iron grillwork. New Buildings Expected ‘To Cost Ab RCHITECTS HAVE BEEN hard at work all summer compiling final working drawings for Wash- ington and Lee’s largest construc- tion project in some time—a uni- versity dining hall and dormitories expected to cost $1,250,000. It is hoped that contracts can be let and work started by October 1, with a target date for completion of the job September, 1958. ”~ The dining hall-dormitory pro- ject will include a university “com- mons” or dining hall two small dormitories for upperclassmen and law students, remodeling the pres- ent Student Union building and the addition of a new wing to this structure. President Gaines said the Board of trustees will decide to proceed SUMMER 1957 out $1,250,000 with all or part of the plans at a later date, after bids have been submitted by contractors. Designed to accommodate 525 persons under normal seating ar- rangements and 650 under banquet conditions, the dining hall will in- clude a main hall, three special dining rooms, kitchens, lounges, coat rooms, and offices for supervis- ory personnel. Exterior design will embody the familiar columned fea- tures of Washington and Lee’s mod- ified Greek Revival architecture. Dormitory units will be small, two-story structures, each provid- ing modern living quarters for ap- proximately 4o men. One unit is earmarked for upperclassmen in the undergraduate schools, while the other will be for exclusive use of the law school. Location of the dormitories will permit construction of a companion building at some future date to form a U-shaped building cluster. The entire project is to be lo- cated on Washington street, oppo- site the president's home and near the present Freshman Dormitory. Plans show the dining hall as the central unit, connecting with Stu- dent Union on one side and one of the dormitories on the other by covered walkways. The Student Union will be re- modeled, and an addition made at its rear to house the university sup- ply store. | Plans accepted by the board at its June meeting were submitted by the Lynchburg firm of Clark, Nexsen, and Owen, Architects. 1] Reunion Time in Lexington The hubbub was terrific at the Alumni Association lunch- eon for all classes on Saturday at the Mayflower Hotel. ASHINGTON AND LEE played host to a three-class anniver- sary reunion on the weekend of May g-11, and more than 160 alumni of the classes of 1907, 1917, and 1932 came back to Lexington for a good time. They represented twenty-three states and the District of Columbia. To reacquaint alumni with Washington and Lee as it is today, a series of talks was presented at the welcoming luncheon at the May- flower Hotel. James R. Caskie, ’06, rector of the University Board of Members of the class of ’07 get together for a chat. Left to right, CLype Hock, trustee Trustees, extended greetings, and JAMes R.

Williams, ’12, dean of the School of Law. A cocktail party, tour of the campus, class banquets and a jamboree for all classes followed in quick order, to end the activities for Friday. On Saturday, Dr. Walter A. Flick, ’24, Dean of Students Frank J. Gilliam, 17, and Student Body President Rob Peeples told the group about the University today. President Francis P. Gaines addressed the alumni, their wives, and families at the Alumni Association luncheon at 1 oclock, and M. P. Burks, III, ’32, presided. Later that afternoon, the reunion groups were guests at a lacrosse game between University of Baltimore and the Generals.

The class banquet for 1932 jammed the private dining room of the Robert E. Lee Hotel. About 95 people were present for the festivities and fun. The President of the Alumni Association reports Another Busy Year By MartTIN P. Burks, ITI, ’32 OOKING OVER THE FILE of cor- L respondence in relation to matters which I have accumulated over the past year, I had supposed that there would be a great many matters to report to you at this meeting, but the fact is that while the members of the Alumni Board and your President have been both active and verbose, there is not much of a very tangible nature to tell you about. I can, of course, say—and with deep sincerity—that it has been a rare privilege to be associated with the able and devoted alumni who serve as members of the Board of Trustees and, with them, to come into intimate contact with the af- fairs, the aspirations and the ac- complishments of this great Uni- versity. And with equal sincerity, I can express appreciation for the Opportunity to work with “Cy” Young, who justly enjoys the es- teem and affection of thousands of Washington and Lee men all over America. The activity of the Alumni Office under “Cy’s” guid- ance is a marvelous thing to see, and its accomplishments for the welfare of the University are legion. _ ‘The Alumni Board has been as busy about the affairs of your Asso- Clation as in any year of my con- nection with it. ‘There have been the regular Fall and Spring meet- ings here in Lexington with agenda so long that we could barely reach all of the items. There has been much committee work and_ the individual members have been in close association with campus affairs by means of personal visits and frequent telephone conversa- tions and letters. The projects which have chiefly engaged our attention are the pro- vision of an adequate staff for the 14 Alumni Office, the fostering of the Alumni Fund, continued planning for an Alumni Clubhouse, appro- priate recognition of retiring facul- ty members, consideration of a new Washington and Lee moving pic- ture, and the constant maintenance of haison between the alumni and the University administration. You will recall that last year we were fortunate in enlisting the serv- ices of James H. Price, Jr., as As- sociate Alumni Secretary. We had hoped to be able to keep him for much-needed help in the expanding program of alumni activity, but he found it necessary to resign this spring to take advantage of an at- tractive business opportunity. We have since given much thought to the advisability of reorganizing and expanding the Alumni staff to pro- vide for needed assistance in the editing of publications and the or- ganization of the annual Alumni Fund Campaign—and we have also begun the search for a successor to the irreplaceable “Cy” Young, MarTIN P. Burks, ILI, ’32 who seems determined to retire next June. I am glad to say that the Alumni Fund, sparked by the Fund Coun- cil, whose able chairman is Graham Morison, and constantly shepherded by “Cy” Young and Don Smith, seems headed toward another suc- cessful year. The goal this year is $115,000.co and 4,000 contributors and with a little less than a month to gO we can now count $94,399.71 and 2,990 contributors. I cannot too earnestly commend this effort to you, for the good health of this independent University depends in- creasingly upon the steady, annual and generous support of her alum- ni. I hope we shall all come to real- ize that Washington and Lee should have a place in our regular sched- ule of giving along with our church and community fund pledges, for certain it is that the independent functions of such universities as this one is one of the bulwarks of American freedom. I can report to you also that while the much discussed Alumni Clubhouse is not yet a reality, we have succeeded in keeping the idea alive in the thinking of University Trustees and Administrators and we are hopeful that this thinking will bear fruit in the early execu- tion of plans for additional Uni- versity facilities. Finally, on the score of haison between the Alumni and the Uni- versity administration, I should like to say that the members of the Alumni Board have tried to repre- sent the varied and sometimes con- flicting views of alumni as to the ul- timate welfare of Washington and Lee, but with due regard for the au- thority and responsibility of the constituted authorities. It has seemed to us that the proper func- tion of an alumni association is to act as counsellor rather than as dic- tator, not fostering discord but re- membering always that this is our University, right or wrong, and through thick and thin. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE The Alumni Secretary recounts A Year in Review By Harry K. (Cy) Youne, ‘17 F COURSE ALL OF US realize that fund raising is no longer a haphazard affair. In line with the present trend, the mapping out and execution of the Alumni Fund now consumes a great part of our effort. ‘The figures for our first Fund, in 1933, (535 contributors for $3,700) indicated that only six percent of our list contributed to Alma Mater. On June 7, 1956, we reported to you that 2,810 alumni had made gifts totalling $88,289 to the Alumni Fund. ‘Today, Iam reporting to you an even larger number of contribu- tors and more money: 2,990 for $94,399-51- On June go of last year, 3,363 alumni had contributed $100,931, or 31 per cent of those solicited. An interesting factor is that last year 48 per cent of all graduates con- tributed. We now compare favor- ably with the best Funds in the President WoovwarbD, 40 SUMMER 1957 country in percentage of graduate giving. On April 21, a Chicago Tribune study placed Washington and Lee ninth within the category of the “top ten male colleges” in America. Now that we are in the big ten academically, our goal is to place in a “top ten Alumni Fund group.” Whatever success the Fund achieves this year can be credited largely to the g2 Class Agents, 105 Regional Agents, and approximate- ly 400 Committeemen serving in our behalf. Jim Price was entirely responsible for enlisting the serv- ices of our Regional Agents. We were sorry to lose him from our staff on March 1. * * * No new alumni chapters were organized during the year. How- ever, the activities of the 37 we now have were more vigorous than in many recent years. These local chapters have been especially help- ful in the recruitment and apprais- al of prospective Washington and Lee students. Each chapter has held at least one meeting during the year; most of the chapters have held several meetings, and in practically every case the University had a representative present to bring the alumni up to date on campus ac- tivities. A new practice at these meetings is that of inviting as guests the local boys who have been accepted for admission at Washing- ton and Lee; in many cases the par- ents are included. Certainly part of the increase in our Alumni Fund can be attributed to the fine coop- eration of our alumni chapters who act as liaison between the com- munity and the University. For the third year we have en- tertained alumni classes celebrating their 25th reunions; last year we added the 50-year class and _ this year the 40-year men were included. ‘These men, most of them bringing their wives, were guests of the Uni- versity. During this Reunion-Con- vocation period we try to give the alumni a picture of the Washing- ton and Lee of today, and we also try to give them an idea of what we are planning for the future. ‘The 25-year reunion class this year, °32 academic and law, made a gift of $5,720 to the Alumni Fund desig- nated as a memorial to their de- ceased classmates. Our special thanks go to the Alumni Committee of the Faculty and the Faculty Reunion Commit- tee for making the Reunion a suc- cessful occasion, and especially do we want to thank the arrangements chairman, James Farrar. * * * We feel that our alumni, scat- tered as they are, are now well- informed on University affairs. Much time has been spent this year by our office staff in removing “deadwood” from the files. I hope Vice-President JOHNSON, ’21 15 BEN W. Ditto, °43 member of the Alumni Board of Trustees it will not shock you to know that 1,800 ex-students (who spent a year or less on our campus) have been removed from our mailing list. Our records in these cases show that no interest had ever been expressed by these alumni—by return of ques- tionnaire, letter of information, fund gift, or in any way. Most of them finished their education at other institutions. “Through the Regional Agents, we learned of many instances where these men were not interested and did not wish to be solicited. ‘Thus we have dropped their names from our ac- tive files. In eliminating this group we are now better able to con- centrate on the 9,400 alumni who constitute our active list—most of whom have indicated interest in receiving The Alumni Magazine, The President’s Report, bulletins from the Development Office, Class Agent letters, and other informa- tive University literature. * * * Before I finish this report, I must enter one complaining note—and you will recognize it 1s not a new complaint. Our great difficulty here continues to be a lack of facilities. We have little space in which to 15 carry on our increasing alumni en- deavor. We hope relief from these congestcd conditions will be coming soon. In spite of the crowded and confusing office conditions, and in the midst of strenuous activities, the staffs of the Alumni Office and of the Development Office have coop- erated cheerfully and_ tirelessly. They have been of the greatest pos- sible help. It has been a pleasure to work with them. And it has been a pleasure to work with and to be guided by our Alumni Board and its President, Martin Burks; the Alumni Fund Council and its Chairman, Graham Morison; and Don Smith, our Di- rector of Development. PEYTON B. WINFREE, JR., °35 elected to the board for three years From the Alumni Association: Minutes of the Meeting T HE MEETING was called to order at 2 p.m., Thursday, June 6, 1957, in Washington chapel by Martin P. Burks, ILI, president. Dr. Francis P. Gaines welcomed the alumni to the campus, and showed them the architects’ drawing of the proposed new buildings to be con- structed within the next year at the University. The Alumni Secretary, H. K. Young; the President of the Alum- ni Association, M. P. Burks, III, and the Treasurer of the Alumni Asso- ciation, Stuart: A. Wurzburger, ’28, presented their annual reports. The members present unani- mously voted an amendment to the Charter and By-Laws of the Associa- tion, after Howard W. Dobbins, ’42, chairman of the committee, read the amendment which his group had submitted, and which had been approved by the Alumni Board of ‘Trustees. Copies of this amendment are available from the Alumni Sec- retary. Notification of the amend- ment was also published in a Roa- noke daily newspaper. Mr. Dobbins made a motion that notice be given to every alumni, through the Alumni Magazine or other publication, as to who will be the nominees for the alumni Board of ‘Trustees. This motion was carried. William B. Hopkins, ’42, chair- man of the Nomination Commit- tee, which included T. B. Bryant, 28, and Houston Minnice, ’32, pre- sented his report as follows: For a Representative on the Ath- letic Committee to serve a term of one year—W. J. Driver, ’26, Lex- ington, Virginia, and John H. ‘Thomas, ’34, Charleston, West Vir- ginia. For members of the Alumni Board of ‘Trustees to serve terms of three years—Peyton B. Winfree, Jv., “35, Lynchburg, Virginia, and Ben W. Ditto, ’43, Houston, Texas. Since there were no nominations (Continued on page 19) THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Chapter News TIDEWATER Over one hundred persons at- tended the Tidewater Alumni As- sociation’s initial chapter meeting March 15 at the Norfolk Yacht and Country Club. Among those present were President Francis P. Gaines, Alumni Secretary H. K. Young, alumni, and _ prospective students with their fathers. Master of ceremonies was J. H. Tyler, II, 'S4., During the evening, a water color painting of the campus, executed by Kenneth Harris, was presented by the chapter to Dr. Gaines. ‘The next meeting is planned for some time in October or November, to which an invitation will be ex- tended all principals of area high schools, and students who have shown an interest in attending Washington and Lee. It is hoped to have several campus speakers at this meeting. Officers of the newly-activated chapter are: president, Bernard Levin, °41; vice-presidents, ‘I. Will- cox Joynes, Jr., 52 and A. Parker Neff, 52; secretary, Sam White, ’50; treasurer, Richard Lipscomb, ‘50. NEW YORK Hugh Bonino, ’36, won the first leg on the Archie Mathis Golf Trophy at the June golf outing of the New York alumni. He scored an adjusted net 72 at the North Jersey Country Club at Preakness, N. J., to lead a field of 15 contest- ants. Three other outings are sched- uled before this year’s golfing sea- son ends. The Archie Mathis award will go to the contestant with the lowest total score for any two of the four rounds. ‘The remaining 1957 outings are scheduled on courses in Westchester County, Central Jersey and Long Island. Bonino’s low net of 72 was com- puted under the Callaway scoring system. He also had the day’s low gross, an 83 over the tough par 70 course. Tied for second behind Bonino were Emerson Dickman, 97, and Dick Brunn, ’42, with adjusted net scores of 74. The winner of the year’s compe- tition will gain possession of the Archie Mathis trophy for one year and his name will be inscribed on the silver cup. Permanent posses- sion will go to anyone winning the competition on three occasions. The presentation will be made at the New York chapter’s annual meeting at the Princeton Club in New York City on November 22 by Emerson Dickman, chairman of the chapter’s golf committee. PRESIDENT FRANCIS P. GAINEs, center, was the recipient of this watercolor of the Washington and Lee campus, when he visited with the Tidewater Alumni chapter at Norfolk, Virginia.

The Virginia Foundation makes a report: A Gain in Depth of Support ‘The twelve colleges of Virginia which receive no tax support have or- ganized The Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges, particularly in an effort to enlist corporate giving. The Foundation continued to gain in scope and depth of support in the fourth year. In the year ending April 30, 1957, there were 250 investors, compared with 181 the previous year. A total of $330,600 was contributed, compared with $287,025 in the preceding year. To prove a strong sustained interest, almost ninety-five per cent of the previous year’s supporters renewed or increased their backing, and thirty- six contributors substantially boosted the levels of their previous invest- ments.
