Actually, Wabash dropped Washington and Lee, 34 to 13 instead, in the fracas on Wilson field. University News DR. MARCELLUS H. STOW, head of the geology department for the past twenty years, died at his home on November 27, 1957. He had been in poor health for the past several months. One of the South’s outstanding geologists, he was geological con- sultant to the director of the State Department of Conservation and Development, and a member of the Virginia State Advisory Coun- cil on the Virginia Economy. He was a past president of the Vir- ginia Academy of Science, and had served as deputy director of the War Production Board, and later the Civilian Production Adminis- 2 tration. He had been a member of the board of directors of the South- ern Research Institute. He was listed in ‘““Who’s Who in America.” Dr. Stow joined the Washington and Lee faculty in 1927, and _ be- came Robinson professor in 1937, and had been a professor on the Thomas Ball Foundation since 1947. He was stricken with a heart at- tack August 12, while doing geo- logical field work near Jamestown. and was in serious condition all fall. PROFESSOR O. W.

Rod Gelatt, of Des Moines, Iowa, is a new fulltime instructor in journal- ism and communications. In Europe, Professor Reigel will be attached to the National Educa- tion Institute in Paris. His work will be mainly in Paris, with some research planned in London and Geneva. He was accompanied by his wite and four of his children. WASHINGTON AND LEE’S Director of Development for the past four years, Donald E. Smith, will leave next month to become Director of University Relations at the Uni- versity of Rochester, in Rochester, New York. Mr. Smith came here in Septem- ber, 1953, from Worcester Polytech- nic Institute, where he was secre- tary-treasurer of the alumni associa- tion. Here, he was given the re- sponsibility of determining the over-all needs of Washington and Lee on a longtime basis. ‘Through faculty committees, he and _ his group established a long-range de- velopment program, which includ- ed physical growth, increase in fac- ulty salaries, increase in available scholarships, and other factors. Working closely with alumni sec- retary Harry K. Young, he helped reorganize Washington and Lee’s alumni giving program, resulting in more than a hundred-percent in- crease in contributions to the an- nual Alumni Fund. Mr. Smith also organized a Par- ents’ Program, now in its third year, which was judged the best conduct- ed at any American college in 1956 by the American Alumni Council. He has supervised the publication of “Washington and Lee Notes,” a newsletter to parents and friends of the college, also judged the best THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE such publication of any American college in 1957 by the American Alumni Council. He and his staff have laid the groundwork for the capital fund campaign, which will probably be launched in 1958-59. “We are greatly indebted to Mr. Smith for excellent work in formu- lating and launching a most im- portant program,” President Fran- cis P. Gaines declared. “We accept his resignation with regret and as- sure him that our best wishes will always be with him and his charm- ing wife.” DEAN FRANK J. GILLIAM, with his wife, had a reunion during the sum- mer with a Christian leader of the Belgian Congo, trained by the Gil- liams more than go years ago. In 1920, Mr. Gilliam went to the Congo as the first missionary for educational purposes sent by the Southern Presbyterian church. In organizing a corps of teachers, he began his work with young native boys, whom he trained to instruct others as teachers. ‘The most out- standing boy in that group was Kanyinda, 14 years of age, who stayed as Mr. Gilliam’s pupil for two years. When the Gilliams returned to America, Kanyinda became head teacher and continued the work of the mission. ‘Today he is considered one of the outstanding leaders of the Christian church in that part of Africa. Last summer he and his wife, Ngoya, were chosen by the Board of Missions to come to America. The Gilliams joined them at Mon- treat, North Carolina, for a re- union. The conversation was main- ly in the native language, Baluba, which Dean Gilliam was still able to use after 30 years without prac- tice. And although the Gilliams had corresponded through the years with their former pupil, there was much to talk about and many bits of news to tell. Kanyinda had named one of his ten children for the Gilliam’s son, Fontaine. G A SENIOR STUDENT'S dream of op- erating his own automobile came true this fall, despite the fact that he cannot use his arms or shoulders, due to an attack of polio in 1945. When John M. Larson of Wash- ington, D. C., returned to Lexing- ton in September, he arrived in his own car, one that he had driven 3,000 miles from California using only his feet and knees to manipu- late the controls. He earned his driver’s permit after only six days of instruction in operating the specially-adapted vehicle, one of only seventeen in the United States. He steers the auto by means of a large circular metal plate which is connected to the car’s power steering mechanism. A metal “boot” is attached to the plate, and by inserting his left foot into the boot, John maintains per- fect control of the car. He operates the accelerator and brake pedal normally with his right The Delts’ Homecoming decoration, left, won first place in the annual contest sponsored by the Alumni Association. It showed a huge giant (WABASH) on the porch roof, about to have the boom lowered on him by a General. Apropos of the times, the Pi Kappa Alpha erected a Sputnik on their house, right. The Phi Kaps caught the spirit of the satellite, too, only they called theirs the Wabashnik. FALL 1957 3 fee covers water, electricity, and gas. Henry L. Ravenhorst, who has managed the housing units since the university had them erected in 1946, says the addition was neces- sitated by an increase in Lexing- ton’s water rates. In 1953, a simi- lar increase in utility rates had forced the university to raise rents to $30 from $25, a figure which had prevailed for seven years. The units are located in two- separate developments. Davidson Park, on the eastern side of Lexing- ton, is occupied primarily by fac- ulty and staff members. Hillside Terrace, near Lexington High School, houses only student fam- ilies.

A downward-extending metal arm from the turn indicator permits John to work this with his left knee. Lights and windshield wiper switches are equipped with oversize knobs for Larson, who still has some use of his right hand. His car is a stock model, adapted by Kope, Incorporated, of Parlier, California, for $495. The car’s pro- totype was designed by a California man who also lost the use of his arms through polio. John read of the invention in a magazine and he and his mother went to California last summer to get his car. John excels in fields other than driving. He holds the coveted Vin- cent L. Bradford scholarship and he achieved the distinction of being elected to Phi Beta Kappa as a junior. 8 RENT FOR THE Washington and Lee “pre-fabs,”” the veterans’ hous- ing development, was raised this fall from $30 to $39, still a low price Part of the large crowd which attended Parents’ Weekend is shown here, after a meet- ing in Lee chapel, at which college officials reported on a variety of subjects.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, gifts from all sources totaled $1,006.- 266.99, of which $789,261.52 went into permanent endowment and the balance of $217,005.47 went for current operations, President Fran- cis P. Gaines said. Washington and Lee’s total en- dowment is now $7,922,930, ac- cording to the year-end auditor’s report. Total assets for the univer- sity are listed at $12,851,022, as of June 30. In 1955-56, gifts totaled $1,224,- 004.36, including a single gift of $250,000 from an anonymous bene- factor for scholarship aid. Although the previous year’s giving was larg- er, the 1956-57 total came from 4,178 individual contributors, as compared with 3,909 In 1955-56. Largest single contribution re- ceived during the year was $326,500 from the Ford Foundation. On one November Sunday night, with nothing much to do, a couple of Washington and Lee students ascended the statue of George Washington and decided that the recent white paint job the University had done on the statue needed a bit of additional art .

Cy was notified in November that he had been selected by the Helms Athletic Foundation on its ten-man All-American basketball team for 1917. Washington and Lee’s team that year went undefeat- ed in thirteen games, and Cy was its leader in the scoring department, with 161 of the team’s 409 points. Cy won sixteen varsity letters while at Washington and Lee from 1913 until 1917. He played four years of football, basketball, base- ball, and track, and he was team captain in each sport, a feat un- equalled in the Generals’ athletic history. He later coached the Washington and Lee basketball teams from 1933 until 1939, winning two Southern Conference championships, in 1934 and 1937, and two runner-up finish- es in 1935 and 1936. Two of his best players during these years, Norman Iler, ’37, and Bob Spes- sard, 39, also are members of Helms Athletic Foundation All-American teams.

Mr. McCloy is chairman of the board of Chase Manhattan Bank and former United States High Commissioner for Germany, and has had a distinguished career in law, business and government work. The annual spring meeting of the Law School Association will be held the same weekend as the Tucker Lectures. THE WASHINGTON AND LEE Law Re- view is under new faculty and stu- dent supervision this year. Wilfred J. Ritz is serving as faculty editor during the absence of Dr. Theodore A. Smedley, on a one-year leave of absence at Vanderbilt University. Associate professor James W. H. Stewart has replaced E. M. Faris, Jr., as faculty business manager.

THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE « IT WAS A LONG, hard season for Washington and _ Lee’s football team this year, and for some half- dozen seniors winding up _ three years of varsity play, it must seem as though there’s no other kind. The Generals came close in their first two contests, losing by bare one-point margins, but in the last six games the defeats were decisive. For new coach Lee McLaughlin losing came hard, for before coming to Washington and Lee he was one of the winningest coaches in Vir- ginia high school and prep circles at Alexandria’s Episcopal High School. But for all the disappoint- ments on the 1957 scoreboard, the Generals did display the best offen- sive football the non-subsidized pro- gram has produced. They lacked the beef in the line to halt their opponents’ running games, but when Washington and Lee had the ball there was always a possibility of crowd-pleasing aerial fireworks. The big man for the Generals, and the first genuine “star” in New basketball coach Louis MILLER talks over 757-58 prospects with co-captains FRANK Hoss, left and Dom Ftora, right. three years, was sophomore quarter- back Jack Groner, whose 853 yards passing ranks as the third best sea- son total in school gridiron history. He passed 125 times and completed 58, five for touchdowns. Briefly, the season went this way: an outplayed Centre team edged Washington and Lee, 7-6, in the Wilson Field opener, and the next week Johns Hopkins squeaked out a 13-12 victory at Baltimore. Flu hit the squad at this point, and the weakened Generals went down, 33-6, at Randolph-Macon. Back home the next Saturday, Witten- berg College was too fast to be outscored, although W&L looked good offensively in losing, 61-26. Wabash College, won, 34-13, at Lexington. Against Sewanee, Wash- ington and Lee helped dedicate the Tigers’ new stadium with a 33-14 Sewanee victory. At Hampden-Syd- ney, the then-undefeated ‘Tigers were too much, 32-18, and in the season finale at home, the Generals lost to Washington University 47-0. McLaughlin, who never lost faith, said, “Wait until next year!” In basketball, there’ll be no wait- ing until next year. Another new mentor, Louis F. “Weenie” Miller, has a healthy nucleus of lettermen around which to build the Gener- als’ cage forces this season, and al- though it doesn’t seem likely he’ll match last year’s 20-7 record, he'll probably come up with a winner.

LEE, who gained fame in other fields, was also the composer of a frivolous song, according to an old manuscript sent recently to Wash- ington and Lee. The tune, “What Do They Do at the Springs,” was reportedly written and set to music by General Lee while he was president of Washington college, and the date is thought to be about 1866. The song referred to White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, which was then, and is now, a gathering place for society. According to old data, a copy of General Lee’s lighthearted song was given by him to a friend of the Lee family, Miss Willie Stoner of Rockbridge Baths. Her entire family learned the words and music, and sang it often, but down through the years, the original composition was lost. A younger sister of Miss Stoner’s, Mrs. Letcher Stoner Shafer of High Bridge, Virginia, wrote the words of it from memory after she was 73 years old, and her brother, Mr. John Stoner, sang it slowly while a friend wrote down the music. This is the copy we have now. ‘The words are as follows: WHAT DO THEY DO AT THE SPRINGS? “Pray, what do they do at the Springs, ‘The question is easy to ask, But to answer it fully, my dear, Is rather a difficult task. But yet in a bantering way The magpie or mockingbird sings— I’ll venture a bit of a song To tell what they do at the Springs. ‘“Inprimis, my dear, they drink ‘Ihe water so sparkling and clear, Yet the flavor is none the best, And the odor’s exceedingly queer. The fluid is mingled you know, With wholesome medicinal things— So the drink and they drink and drink, And that’s what they do at the Springs. “At mornings they early do gather At the wells and speak of the news. ‘The men talk of girls and of horses And the ladies of bonnets and shoes. You hear them as they busily prattle Of scandal and various things, O! they tattle, they tattle, they tattle And that’s what they do at the Springs. ‘They stroll in the beautiful walks Or talk in the shade of the trees, And many a word there is whispered ‘That’s never told to the breeze. And hands are commingled with hands Despite the conjugal rings, Then they flirt and they flirt and they flirt, And that’s what they do at the Springs. “But just sharply and keen, You'll discover wherever there are men Some who are fond of a bottle of whiskey And will get right drunk now and then. Wherever you find a young lady And older ones too, do such things, Why, they’ll eat and they’ll flirt, and they'll tattle, In the city or country or Springs.” THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE ee ce ee © eee - PRAY WHAT!

Richard L. Gelwick, director of religious activities here. Not all of Washington and Lee’s students are taking advantage of these opportunities, admits the Reverend Mr. Gelwick, but there is reason to believe the seeds of a campus revival of religious interest are present. Nowhere in American higher ed- ucation, to Mr. Gelwick’s know- ledge, is such a relatively small stu- dent bady at a non-denominational college being served by so many per- sons whose prime concern is the spiritual welfare of the students. Ministering to Washington and Lee’s 1000-plus students are eight ordained pastors, seven of whom have as their sole ministry their work with students. Campus religious activity now takes place on three distinct but related levels—in courses offered by the Department of Religion and Philosophy, in a volunteer student Christian association, and in the various student programs of Lex- ington’s churches. 10 By FRANK PARSONS Director of Publicity In the role played by the com- munity’s Protestant churches is found another unique aspect of Washington and Lee’s religious sit- uation. Four churches—Episcopal, Presbyterian, Methodist, and Bap- tist—employ full-time ministers to students of Washington and Lee and Virginia Military Institute. ‘The pastor of the nearby Bethany Lutheran Church devotes a large portion of his ministry to student work. Although operating separate stu- dent programs, these ministers have joined together with Mr. Gelwick in a united fellowship which has its foundation in a Christian spirit of cooperation. Included in this fellowship of ministers are the Rev. Ralph W. Smith, Jr., chaplain to Episcopal students; the Rev. George M. Cool- ey, Presbyterian minister to stu- dents; the Rev. Thomas E. Weir, director of the Methodist Church’s Wesley Foundation; the Rev. Leroy P. Richardson, Baptist minister to students; the Rev. John H. Ben- netch, pastor to the Lutheran Stu- dent Association; and Reverend Gelwick, a Methodist. All came to Lexington at ap- proximately the same time, some two years ago, and all are relatively young men, some on their first as- signment since graduation from theological school. Several have in- teresting backgrounds—Mr. Cooley was a German prisoner of war for 11 months during World War II; Mr. Weir spent seven years as a naval officer before deciding to enter the ministry. ‘Together they are providing “‘a united witness, without any degree of competition.” ‘The fact that one minister may have more students participating actively than another doesn’t bother the fellowship. “Our main concern is that they are taking part somewhere,” they Say. All express concern over what constitutes a good university, and what is the best atmosphere in which a young man can become educated. ‘They are anxious to help college officials in any way they can. “We try to create the realization that the church as a whole is in- terested in the campus as a whole,” explains the Reverend Mr. Gel- wick. “And we try to correct the impression some students have that we are outside the ministry, or have left it. This is our ministry.” Within their separate church programs, most ministers conduct special Sunday evening programs for students, including suppers and THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE ore tesne enna inrcnieccesnentereeeitis Lexington ministers COOLEY, SMITH, WEIR, and RICHARDSON, join the REV. RICHARD LEE GELWICK in a round-table discussion of re- ligious needs and potentials of Washington and Lee students. student-led worship. All encourage their Washington and Lee students to play an active role in the Uni- versity Christian Association. This organization is the bedrock foundation for all volunteer stu- dent religious participation at non- sectarian Washington and Lee. Ev- ery student holds membership as a “sustaining member,” but its 150 “active members” are the life-blood of the association. Its activities are many and var- ied. One of the most important and far-reaching in its effect is the an- nual sponsorship of the University Religious Conference. During the four-day span of the conference last year, over 40 separate addresses and discussion groups were attend- ed by a total of 1,000 students. Prominent speakers are brought to the campus for the event, and their provocative presentation of varying conference themes effect lasting re- sults. “We reach out and get many stu- dents we never are in contact with FALL 1957 ’ the rest of the year,’ erend Mr. Gelwick. Other association work involves a year-long continuing series of dis- says the Rev- cussion groups in which Mr. Gel- wick says students and faculty “deal with religious questions in irrelig- ious garb.’ Past topics have in- cluded ““The Christian and the So- cial Mill,” and ‘““The University, A Mental Maze.” Faculty members are guest discussion leaders, and issues are met from all viewpoints. A unique feature of the associa- tion’s program is the conduct of ‘Mountain Missions,” a service be- gun many years ago in which Wash- ington and Lee students act as supply ministers, Sunday School teachers, organists, and choir di- rectors for nearby rural churches of different denomination. Four different churches are sup- plied in some capacity each Sunday, and students travel 20 miles to a remote church near the Blue Ridge Parkway for one of their Sunday School programs. In community service, the asso- ciation sponsors two boys clubs and conducts a recreational program for both white and colored, with character and leadership develop- ment as part of the goals. Other students help distribute welfare department food to destitute fam- ilies and assist needy persons in home repairs, painting, and other odd jobs. Within the university, association members conduct weekly Univer- sity religious services at Lee Chapel on Thursdays at noon. Another committee plans and conducts spe- cial religious services, including the traditional pre-Christmas candle- light service. Another group holds nightly vespers in the freshman dormitory. Members seek to encourage still more active participation, while a special committee tries to improve student-faculty relations through informal get-togethers. Besides Mr. Gelwick, two other (Continued on page 15) 11 In 1947, when the first group of married students moved into Davidson Park’s pre-fabricated ex-army housing units, the buildings looked like the top photo.

In 7957, that Young man announced he would retire next June after twenty-eight years as alumni secretary and coach at the University. His prowess in sports is now confined exclusively to golf, and he has won many championships, including the Virginia State Senior title, Part of the beautiful eight acres on which “Col Alto” is situated may be seen here. Beautiful old boxwood, an old brick curving wall, and spacious green lawns surround the 150-year-old brick home built by a former Virginia governor, JAMES MCDOWELL. 150-Year-Old Mansion Given For President’s Home N THE FUTURE, Washington and I Lee University presidents will make their home in an_ historic Lexington mansion, “Col Alto,” located on the eastern outskirts of town. The seventeen-room home and the surrounding estate have been given to the school by the present owner, Mrs. Rosa ‘Tucker Mason. Under terms of the deed, she will have lifetime occupancy of the home. “The University is extremely grateful to Mrs. Mason for this gen- erous gift,’ President Francis P. Gaines has declared. “The gift is most fitting because of the long and honorable connection of Mrs. Mason’s family with this institu- tion. 14 “Both of her grandfathers, the Honorable John Randolph ‘Tucker and Colonel William Preston John- ston, were members of this faculty, as dean of the law school and pro- fessor of history, respectively. Her father, the Honorable Harry St. George Tucker, succeeded his fath- er as dean of the law school, and served one year as acting president of the University. Her brother, the late John Randolph ‘Tucker, was at the time of his recent death an honored member of the Uni- versity’s Board of ‘Trustees,’ Dr. Gaines added. | Included in the gift are the mansion, a log cabin used as a resi- dence, garages, and eight acres of land. The main house is a two story solid brick building, which contains besides the seventeen rooms, eight baths and a full basement. The deed provides that Wash- ington and Lee is to use the prop- erty as a residence for its president, or if that becomes impracticable, for some other non-commercial pur- pose of the University. It is pro- vided that in any event, the land and main building are to be kept intact, except for necessary repairs or additions. All household furnishings and furniture in “Col Alto” not other- wise disposed of by Mrs. Mason in her will are to become the property of Washington and Lee. By the terms of the agreement, if the University finds in the future it is unable to carry out its provis- ions, it will convey title of the prop- THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE erty to the next of kin of the donor, then living. ‘The name of “Col Alto,” given to the estate when the house was built in 1827 by James McDowell, will be retained, President Gaines said. He added that the present home of Washington and Lee’s presidents, built by General Robert E. Lee dur- ing his tenure of office, and used by every president since 1870, will be used for some University pur- pose, depending upon the college’s needs at the time. ‘The land on which “Col Alto” is located was a portion of a grant given in 1739 to Benjamin Borden by Virginia Governor William Gooch. ‘The land passed into the hands of the McDowell family some time before 1810. James McDowell, who built the house, became governor of Vir- ginia in 1843. The estate continued to be owned by the McDowell fam- ily until 1860. From that date, the property changed hands a number of times until Harry St. George Tucker purchased it in 1898. Upon his death, Mrs. Mason became owner in 1932, buying the interest of the other heirs. Considerable improvements on the original structure were made by Mr. ‘Tucker and Mrs. Mason. “Col Alto’s” wooded grounds are impressive, and the house and grounds have been featured annual- ly on garden club tours of the Shen- andoah area. At least three Washington and Lee fraternities are close neighbors to the estate—Lambda Chi Alpha, Zeta Beta ‘Tau, and Pi Epsilon Phi. The faculty apartments and the Davidson Park pre-fabricated hous- ing units, occupied by faculty and some married students, are within one block of the president’s future home. Another neighbor, on the south, is the new Stonewall Jackson Hospital, a modern facility costing almost $2,000,0000, built on land purchased from Mrs. Mason. FALL 1957 SPIRITUAL GROWTH (Continued from page 11) Washington and Lee faculty mem- bers, both Presbyterian ministers, are closest to the work of the Uni- versity Christian association. ‘They are Dr. David W. Sprunt, professor of religion, and Dr. Paul C. Hayner, associate professor of religion and philosophy. Aside from the work of ministers, student leaders, and professors of religion, the Reverend Mr. Gel- wick and other ministers agree there is another force at work at Wash- ington and Lee which is having a profound effect on the Christian at- titudes of students. It is the teach- ing of a number of other faculty members, whose fields of instruc- tion may be far from religious as- sociations, but who nevertheless encourage their students in ways which result in a greater Christian faith. Mr. Cooley cites four examples of Washington and Lee students who were inspired to enter the ministry because of truths unveiled to them by faculty Christian lay leaders. In such accounts the Reverend Mr. Smith finds evidence of a “re- fining fire’ at work among students at Washington and Lee. It takes a man to stand out against the pres- sures of conformity and irreligion prevelant at many colleges today, he and his colleagues agree. ‘They admit that these pressures exist at Washington and Lee, but they believe they are on the right road toward overcoming them. ‘They are being welcomed as fre- quent visitors in fraternity houses, and they find an active and in- quiring interest in religious mat- ters on the part of an encouraging number of students. The Reverend Mr. Gelwick points out that active participation in the University Christian Asso- ciation by fifteen percent of the student body is a healthy sign. ‘Ten percent is normal, he says. Mr. Gelwick adds that the min- isterial leadership is available to handle 1co percent participation. He hopes some day to have it.
