Srom the © xecutive Secretary Alumni Fund To Be Reactivated on Limited Basis, 1959-60 N THE PAST YEAR, during the Capital Gifts Campaign, many alumni have inquired of the role of the Alumni Fund in the over-all picture of the University’s develop- ment program. Some of you have expressed a desire to make a contri- bution to the Alumni Fund in addi- tion to your gift to the building program, with the hope that its successful growth manifested over the past years would continue. Development Planners In the fall of 1957, University administration and the Board of Trutstees envisioned a_ capital campaign to encompass some twen- ty areas with a concentration of 100 or more alumni, parents and friends, in a campaign period to last approximately one year. Dur- ing the course of the active cam- paign, the Alumni and Parents’ Funds would be merged with the Development Campaign and neith- er was to engage in its usual an- nual fund drive activities. ‘To pre- serve the identity of the annual Funds, gifts to the Development campaign would be credited to the respecrive Funds. It was found, however, that there were forty-four areas, rather than twenty—a fact in which every alum- nus should take pride. It became evident that the time necessary for adequate planning and coverage of these additional areas would extend the campaign period beyond one year, and that the Alumni and Par- ents Fund could not resume their 2 former role on a full scale until all the area campaigns had been com- pleted. The net balance of the Alumni Fund for operational expenses is transferred to the University, which depends on this sum for its annual budget. Consequently, the Capital Gifts campaign must allocate to the University in behalf of the Alumni Fund, a sum representing the operational cost of the Alumni Association plus the University’s anticipated budgeted income from alumni. As the campaign period of merged operations extends, this “drain” on the University Devel- opment Program becomes obvious. Alumni Fund Council The Alumni Fund Council met on November 6 and agreed to a plan to reactivate the Alumni Fund for the year 1959-1960, with the un- derstanding that it be conducted in such a manner as not to conflict with the University Development Program. The Future Plan To resume the Alumni Fund on a limited basis for the fiscal year, 1959-60, the council recommended: (a) that the class agent plan be activated in January, 1960. (b) that only those alumni de- scribed below shall be solicited. (c) that the regional agent plan shall not be employed. (d) that there shall be no estab- lished contributor or dollar goals. (e) that no alumnus donor to the Development campaign shall be so- licited for the Alumni Fund until his pledge has been paid in full, nor in the same academic year of his gift, even though his pledge was paid in full. Those to be solicited shall be: A. Those alumni who have had the opportunity, either by personal contact from the Development Pro- gram’s organized campaigns or by their mail campaign, to contribute or pledge to the University Devel- opment Program and who did not— and/or B. Those alumni who have al- ready made a _ contribution § or pledge to the University Develop- ment Program and whose pledge or contribution has been paid in full prior to September 1, 1959. Soon many of you will be receiv- ing letters from your class agent. There is no intent on his part to do other than present the oppor- tunity for all of us to lend assistance to Washington and Lee as our hearts and consciences might dic- tate. As evidenced by a large num- ber of alumni contacted personal- ly—the reactivation of the Alumni Fund on a limited scale during 1959-60 should be the beginning of an even greater era in its vital role with the University. Therefore, I earnestly solicit your full considera- tion. WILLIAM C. WASHBURN, 40 THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Successor to Dean Williams Charles P. Light Is Named New Dean ot Law School ROFESSOR CHARLES PORTERFIELD Light, Jr., a member of the Washington and Lee Law School faculty for thirty-three years, will become dean of the law school next year.

In Lexington, he financed his tuition at Washington and Lee by running a pressing shop. § FORMER PRESIDENT Francis P. Gaines has a new title. He has been named to the newly created posi- tion of chancellor of the University, in action by the board of trustees in mid-October. Although the board did not spell out in detail the chancellor’s duties, it has been brought out that Dr. Gaines will be called on from time 6 Trustee JOHN HENDON, ’24 to time to assist the trustees and the president of Washington and Lee in duties “which are agreeable to him.” “The board is delighted to have Dr. Gaines retained in an official capacity with Washington and Lee,” said James R. Caskie, ‘06, rec- tor. ‘“We are pleased that he will continue to play a part in our work.”’ Dr. Gaines, who retired on Sep- tember 1, has nevertheless been busy ever since in the University campaign for $2,000,000 for new facilities in science and journal- ism. He has spoken at alumni ban- quets in 12 cities. “I appreciate deeply the recog- nition of the board in naming me to this new opportunity for serv- ice,’ chancellor Gaines declared. “‘I expect to continue to serve Wash- ington and Lee in every way I can.” The trustees, in a gesture of per- sonal appreciation to Dr. Gaines for his twenty-nine years of serv- ice as president, presented him with a handsome silver service. = THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES has au- thorized a five-man committee to recommend a date and draw up other plans for the inauguration of Dr. Fred C.

The Generals came close to a winning year for the first time since 1951, and Groner failed by just 23 yards in a bid to shatter the school’s season passing record of 1,000 yards, set by Mike Boyda in 1948. Never out-classed and always a threat until the final gun, Coach Lee McLaughlin’s sophomore-dom- inated squad compiled a record of three wins, four losses, and a tie. Two of the defeats were by margins of less than a touchdown. With 34 of 39 varsity players scheduled to return in 1960, the old familiar cry of “Wait ’till next year!” has a ring of real promise for Washington and Lee. Even skeptics are admitting that Coach McLaughlin has finally started the Generals on an up-hill climb out of the gridiron doldrums. Here’s a game-by-game summary: W & L 45, Centre 8—The Gener- als didn’t make a serious mistake all afternoon, as junior halfback Bobby Funkhouser scored three times and sophomore quarterback Steve Suttle directed the offense to five of its six touchdowns. W & L 4e, Dickinson 14—Gron- er’s passing and some top-flight run- ning by Suttle and sophomore half- back Jim Hickey proved too much Dickinson. W & L 14, Franklin and Mar- shall 28—Generals moved the ball well in midfield, but found the go- ing rough inside the Diplomats’ 20. W & L 33, Randolph-Macon 33— In one of the most exciting games ever played on Wilson Field, the Generals spotted the Yellowjackets a 21-0 lead, roared back to take a 25-24 lead, lost it again, and finally tied it up with a last-minute touch- down and a two-point conversion. W & L o, Hampden-Sydney 12-- shin-deep mud at _ Petersburg grounded the Generals’ passing at- 10 tack, and a fumble and a bad center pass with the slippery ball halted two promising drives toward the Tiger goal. H-SC proved the better mudder. W & L 16, Carnegie Tech 20— Seeking their seventh straight win of the season, the Tartans got two touchdowns in the first five minutes and added another on an official’s disputed ruling in the last quarter. Homecoming alumni were disap- pointed. W & L 14, Sewanee 15—After stopping the Tigers cold on two courageous goal-line stands, the Generals fumbled the last time for the clinching Sewanee TD late in the game. Both Tiger touchdowns resulted from W & L miscues. W & L 35, Washington 26—Scor- ing 21 points in the final quarter, the Generals roared from a 26-14 deficit to win their first game on the road since 1953. Groner, senior quarterback from Metairie, Louisiana had a _ final mark of 978 yards on 52 comple- tions in 105 attempts. And _al- though Groner’s last season was his greatest, his passing wasn’t the whole offensive show for Wash- ington and Lee. This year, he shared the quarterbacking with the hard-running Suttle, who wound up as the team’s top rusher. Sut- tle’s 263 yards for a 3-9 average was a shade better than Funk- houser’s 258 yards, although Funk- houser had a 4.2 average per car- ry. And Hickey averaged 4.6 yards in gaining 208. Funkhouser’s 64 points were tops in team scoring, followed by Hickey’s 4o. For the measure of success en- joyed this season and for his hopes for the future, the Generals’ coach gives full credit to the boys them- selves. “We now have boys who want to play football and want to play it well,” he points out. “We've got some excellent football players on our squad, and we've got good boys who make up what they lack in talent and skill with determina- tion and effort. They are a real in- spiration to work with.” With two apparently successful years of “recruiting” without ath- letic scholarships, McLaughlin be- believes he can continue to find good boys who will want to com- bine football and a good education at Washington and Lee. “I want us to have the best non-subsidized football team in the United States,” he states boldly, “and I think we’ve made the first steps in the right di- rection.” “We feel that the program is working... that the student body and alumni have accepted the fact that we are going to stay in this program and are cooperating,’ Mc- Laughlin adds. “It takes work and effort from the whole University family to put it over, and we be- lieve that we’re getting good co- operation from everyone now.” In soccer, Coach Joe Lyles’ team turned in a 6-9-1 regular season record, and then was runner-up in the first annual state intercollegiate soccer tournament, held at Wash- ington and Lee. In the tourney, the Generals won three and lost two over the grueling two-day span of the meet. Four W & L players— Charlie Stow, Skip Rohnke, Frank Smith, and Bob Lathrop—were named to the all-tournament team.
