W&L IN TAIWAN

The Reeves Collection of Porcelain and a Delegation
Of University Officials Visit the Republic of China

 

 

Washington and Lee’s famed Reeves Collection of
Chinese export porcelain went “home” this summer for
the first time—for an historic display in the National
Museum of History of the Republic of China (Taiwan).

The exhibition of 93 of the most important pieces
from the Reeves Collection was greeted in Taipei, the
capital city, with the most enthusiastic reception
anywhere in its five years of travel.

It was natural that it should be so in Taiwan. The
W&L loan exhibition marked the first time the Chinese
people have seen the porcelain wares their ancestors
created 150 and 200 years ago—the first time, in fact,
according to China’s ambassador to the United States,
James C. H. Shen, that an exhibition of Chinese
porcelain produced specifically for export to the West
had been shown in the land of its origin.

Lee, a native of mainland China, who made many of the arrangements
for the W&L group’s visit. Above: W&L Treasurer James W. Whitehead,
who was responsible for developing the Reeves Collection and has been

sent to Taiwan for the month-long National Museum exhibition.

 

 

 

 

And no less enthusiastic was the greeting the
Chinese nationalists gave to a W&L delegation which
visited Taiwan for eight days—as guests of the
government of the Republic of China and the Pacific
Cultural Foundation—in conjunction with the opening
of the National Museum exhibition. The 16 W&L
representatives were led by President and Mrs. Robert
E. R. Huntley; H. Gordon Leggett, ‘54, a member of
the University Board of ‘Trustees, with Mrs. Leggett;
and Treasurer (and developer and curator of the
Reeves Collection) James W. Whitehead, with Mrs.
Whitehead.

When it opened, Chinese of every social station,
from every walk of life, jammed the National Museum
to view the highlights of the Reeves Collection—

accepted a plate from the Reeves Collection from Mr. and Mrs. White-

National Museum’s permanent collection, is a representative example
of early-19th-century export porcelain; the piece was made for the
Brown family of Providence, R.I—ancestors of Louise Herreshoff
Reeves and the first known traders from America to visit the Orient.

selected meticulously by the Whiteheads to reflect in
microcosm the nature of the cross-cultural influences
between Imperial China and the American Colonies (and
subsequently the brand-new United States). The
Chinese smiled, as Americans do, when they saw the
Declaration of Independence cream pitcher, which
depicts the Signers with distinctly Oriental features;
they stood in reverence as they looked at George
Washington’s dinner plate, for the Chinese draw
important parallels between Washington and Chiang
Kai-shek. Mostly, however, they were awed—as are
those who view it from wherever; Europe and the
Orient no less than Baltimore and Dayton—at the
Reeves Collection as a spectacular example of “history-in-
porcelain,” the story of 18th- and early-19th-century

aesthetic sensibilities, of American patriotic fervor, of
the importance of family and religion, of commerce
and the very earliest days of East-West trade—and,
hardly least of all, of skillful elegance in craftsmanship.
The visit of the Reeves Collection to its homeland is
only the most recent, though surely the most publicly
dramatic, indication of Washington and Lee’s strong
cultural ties with nationalist China. Throughout the
early years of the 20th century, of course, alumni of
the University played a critical role in the
Westernization of China. In the 1970s, the University
established a spring-term “Study Abroad” program in
association with Taiwan’s College of Chinese Culture;
only this year, a faculty-supervised summer-study
program in Taiwan (the first formal summer session at

college students. Above right: Huo Ching-chang, (left), an important

W&L) was inaugurated; the entire East Asian Studies
Program, which recently became a full-fledged major,
has focused since its inception significantly on China,
and in fact Chinese individuals and private
organizations have been important supporters of the
program. For many years, the University has been host
to visiting Chinese artists (primarily) and others.

It was recognition of that very special, long-standing
relationship that led to the highlight of the W&L
delegation’s visit to Taiwan—presentation of the
Chinese Cultural Medallion, the highest honor in the
power of the government there to confer ona
foreigner, to President Huntley.

Minister of Education, Chu Hwei-sen—declared, “the

with the United States as both logical and essential—
culturally as well as politically.

They did it in superb fashion.

Taiwan preserves the legendary Chinese
graciousness. It has all the natural beauty that has
characterized Chinese painting since the beginning of
art. There are no gentler, more thoughtful, more
industrious people anywhere. In important respects
they have modeled their apporoach to civic life after
the 200-year American experiment; they have taken it
(as one member of the W&L delegation marveled) and
adapted it to a country in constant military peril, the
size of half of New England—and in only 30 years they
have stabilized it and (in some ways which Americans
might well envy) refined it.

cleaner’s.) Above right: Culinary elegance was routine; the Chinese regard
it ideally as a visual art as well as gastronomic. Nothing in the course of
the trip, however, approached the achievement of the chef who pre-
pared lobster with electrified eyes—maraschino cherries with tiny bat-

Lexington, Virginia.
January 22, 1917.

Rev. J. Sidney Peters,
Commissioner of Prohibition,
Richmond, Virginia.

My dear Sir:

I have been informed that a warrant
has been issued for Miss Annie J.
White, the librarian of Washington and
Lee University, for violation of the
prohibition law and that the matter has
been sent to the Grand Jury. You, of
course, know that I am in full
sympathy with the prohibition law and
with your efforts to see that it is fully
enforced, but I feel that it should be
enforced in a reasonable and common
sense way with a view to accomplishing
its objects and without punishing any
who have not intentionally violated the
law and whose acts have done nothing
to encourage the evils against which
the law is intended to provide. The
facts in regard to this case can be
substantiated to be as follows:

Miss Annie White is a lady of the
highest standing and character, has
been a resident of this community as
one of a very large and prominent
family all her life. She has been
librarian of the University of
Washington and Lee for some twenty-
five or thirty years, and from this you
will see that she is reaching an age
which must soon necessarily justify her
retirement from active labors.

The facts in regard to the pur-
chasing of the liquor are as follows:
About the 15th of November Miss
White had shipped to her from
another State one quart of rum used
for cooking, valued at fifty-five cents.
She, being innocent of the law,
supposed that when the package came
it would be delivered as any other
express package. She had ordered it to
be used in her Thanksgiving dinner,
but Thanksgiving Day arrived and she
had not received her package so she
called up the express office to know if
it had come, and was advised that it
had, and she inquired why it had not
been delivered to her, and was told
that the character of the package
demanded her presence to receipt for
the same. As it was too late to be used at
Thanksgiving she was not much
concerned about getting it and did not
call for it until the Saturday night
before Christmas, when she called at
the express office after the hour of five
o'clock and was advised that she could

not get it. The next day being Sunday
and the following day being Christmas
Day she could not get it until after
Christmas, and thus her opportunity
to use it both on Thanksgiving and at
Christmas had been frustrated. Again
being unconcerned about it she left it
in the office until about the 2nd of
January, or possibly a little later, when
she was advised that another package
had arrived for her and was advised to
call and get the same. This turned out
to be one quart of scotch whiskey which
a lady friend in Philadelphia had sent
her. She went to the office to get it and
while there concluded to get the other
package. The agent told her that he
had some doubts about the legality of
taking out both at one time but she
referred to the fact that the quart of
rum had both been ordered and
received at the office more than thirty
days previous, and told the agent that
under the circumstances the law would
not prevent her from getting out the
package, especially when it was known
that the consignee was a person of

Annie Jo
us. the Drys

respectability and had no intention of
violating the law. The agent thereupon
delivered to her both the packages and
she signed for them without having the
remotest idea of what she was signing
other than that it was a receipt for the
liquor. These are the facts as I am
reliably informed.

It is not only my own opinion, but it
seems to be the opinion generally, that
no grand jury would indict Miss White
under the circumstances and that no
jury would convict her. The situation is
embarrassing not only to Miss White
but to the University and to the public,
and especially to that part of the public
which are thoroughly interested in the
wise and faithful enforcement of the
prohibition law, and as we have heard
is producing much satisfaction among
those who would like to see as much
discredit as possible thrown upon the
law. I have been informed that several
similar cases have been looked into by
your Deputy and very wisely dismissed.

You will, of course, thoroughly
understand the especial features of the

law which Miss White’s conduct has
apparently broken. I am advised that
among these features it is claimed that
Miss White is not such a head of a
family as would justify her in receiving
liquor at all. In this regard I can only
state the fact that Miss White owns and
occupies a dwelling on the college
campus, and to supplement her salary
as librarian she regularly keeps house
and takes student boarders in her
home for a consideration.

In conclusion I think I can safely say
that a dismissal of this case will give
entire satisfaction to those who are
endeavoring to uphold your hands,
and will perhaps bring more or less
confusion to those who would thwart
your objects.

I have heard that the Common-
wealth’s Attorney of this County has
stated to your Deputy that any grand
jury will indict Miss White and any
petit jury would convict her. I do not
know that he made such a statement,
but I do know that, so far as I can
gather, there is not a single person who
shares such belief. If he really made
such a remark, it is easily explicable to
those who know him, and should not
prejudice her case.

I hear your Deputy excused two or
three other ladies here who were
technically guilty of violating the law,
and I feel personally certain that a
similar decision in this case also will
advance the prohibition cause in this
community rather than injure it. I
write this as an ardent prohibitionist
and a zealous worker for the cause in
our Virginia campaign.

Sincerely,
Henry Louis SMITH
President

Rupert Latture (who, incidentally, began his
67th year of association with Washington
and Lee this autumn) lately has been sorting
through some of the official papers of W&L
presidents from the early years of the
century. He came across this bijou
concerning the University’s beloved,
legendary Miss Annie Jo White, librarian
for many years and founder of the Fancy
Dress Ball, who apparently also knew how to
have good times herself as well as organize
them for others. By way of background,
before national Prohibition went into effect,
Virginia had its own law which limited each
householder to one quart of “ardent spirits”
a month, and which allowed a female to
purchase her quart only if she qualified as
the “head of a family.” The story has a
happy ending; two weeks after Dr. Smith
wrote this letter, the Rockbridge grand jury
tossed out the charge against Miss Annie Jo.

ARTS WORKSHOP’78

If It’s on Campus, It Must Be Summer

Since the beginning of the Rockbridge Fine
Arts Workshop in 1971, Washington and Lee
has offered the program full use of its
campus. DuPont Hall has been program
headquarters each summer, and Lee Chapel
and the campus grounds have been used for
the exhibitions and programs at the close of
each session.

The workshop was organized by five
women with a lively interest in the arts and a
common dedication to providing opportunities
to area children—Rae Hickman (wife of Dr.
Cleveland P. Hickman Jr., professor of
biology), who taught piano; Judy Hotchkiss
(Mrs. Farris; he’s director of development),
dance; Pree Ray (Mrs. George W.; he’s
professor of English), drama; Elise Sprunt
(Mrs. David W.; he’s University chaplain,
Fletcher Otey Thomas Professor of Religion,
and head of the religion department), art;
and Charlene Jarrett (Mrs. H. Marshall; he’s
professor of European history), piano.

Enrollment in the program has nearly
doubled over the past eight years. At the
outset, 67 youngsters from age six to 18
enrolled in the summer workshop. The
enrollment for this past summer, however,
was 130, with a staff of 24 members.

New programs were offered this year in
small-group percussion and wind instrument,

10

 

technical theatre, and poetry and
printmaking. The Workshop has had a Youth
Orchestra for three years as well.

Most financial backing for the Rockbridge

 

 

Fine Arts Workshop comes in the form of
contributions from individuals and area
businesses and occasional grant support from
the National Endowment for the Arts.

‘BEST AND BR

AVEST’

When W&L’s Rockwell Was in the Air, No German Passed

In 1916, The New York Times
followed the exploits of Kiffin Rockwell
with a detailed zeal usually reserved for
rising sports heroes.

But Rockwell was not playing games.

He was one of the gifted young pilots
of the Lafayette Escadrille, whose
American volunteers flew on behalf of
France between April 1916 and February
1918. The squadron’s official history
describes Rockwell as the Escadrille’s
“soul.” He downed the first German
plane credited to the unit on May 18,
1916.

Many of his four-score sorties ranged
above the beleaguered fortress of
Verdun, where nearly a million

 

 

casualties were suffered by German
assault troops and French defenders
during the 1916 campaign. In May of
that year Rockwell wrote:

The most terrible fighting was going on
underneath me the whole time. But I
am not going to try to express my impres-
sions, because I can’t. At the same time
... one of my friends was over my

head, about 1,500 feet high, having a
death struggle with a German machine,
which he succeeded in bringing down.

Rockwell himself downed at least four
German planes before he was killed over
Alsace on Sept. 23, 1916. His

When Rockwell was in the air, no Ger-
man passed ... and he was in the air
most of the time. .. . The Best and
Bravest of us all is no more.

“probably the first American” to offer

Rockwell, who said he was “paying my
part of our debt to Lafayette and
Rochambeau,” wrote the French consul
on Aug. 3, 1914, stating that he would
“rather fight under the French Flag
than any other, as I greatly admire your
Nation. If my services can be used by
your country, I will bring my brother,
who also desires to fight” for France.
His brother, Paul Ayres Rockwell, is
also a W&L alumnus. In August 1914,
the two men enlisted in the French
foreign legion. A year later, Kiffin
transferred to the air unit. Paul—who
has been decorated three times with the

France after the war, where he had a
distinguished career as an author and
journalist. He was with the French army
when France fell in 1940 and spent five
years with the U.S. Air Corps after the
Americans entered the Second World
War.

Col. Paul Rockwell, who now lives in
Asheville, N.C., recently returned to
Lexington with a group touring
Virginia’s Civil War battlefields. He
discussed various memorials to Kiffin in
‘Tennessee, the Carolinas,

Washington, D.C., and in France, where
a ceremony takes place each year at
Kiffin’s grave. Paul Rockwell adds,

 

however, that “the memorial to him
which I cherish the most and of which I
am most proud is the bronze tablet” in
Lee Chapel.

The Lee Chapel is my Shrine of Shrines
[writes Paul Rockwell], a place to wor-
ship and pray and be encouraged.
Merely to walk about the old W&L cam-
pus is healing at all seasons of the year,
and I yearn often to return... . The soul
of anyone who cannot get inspiration by
looking about the W&L and V.M.I. cam-
puses is dead, and I pity him.

Washington and Lee has been selected
as one of five regional offices of the
Virginia Research Center for
Archaeology.

Under the arrangement, Washington
and Lee students and faculty will be
involved extensively in fieldwork at
important archaeological sites in
Alleghany, Botetourt and Rockbridge
Counties, with emphasis on the
Rockbridge area.

“This is a tremendously exciting
development for Washington and
Lee,” said Dr. John M. McDaniel,
assistant professor of anthropology. “We
will be part of the mainstream of
archaeological events throughout the
State.”

former faculty residences at the north
edge of the Colonnade, the office will be
a research arm of W&L’s Department of
Sociology and Anthropology. There are
12 students currently enrolled in the
survey archaeology course, which will be
directly involved with the activities of
the regional preservation office.

Organizers of the program say the
primary importance of the new office
lies in the vast opportunity to “find and
preserve keys to the area’s past.”

If investigations at a site should turn
up anything of historical significance,

the office may nominate the site to the
National Register of Historic Places.

“This program will be a tremendous
asset for our students,” Dr. McDaniel
said. “It is unusual and flattering that
this program is established at the
undergraduate level.”

In addition to conducting surveys on
federally funded construction sites, the
office will also conduct short-term
environmental impact studies as
requested by the state.

The arrangement will provide
students an opportunity to acquire
practical experience in survey
archaeology, according to Dr. William
Kelso, commissioner of the Virginia
Research Center for Archaeology.

Kelso pointed to the “fine reputation”
W&L’s archaeology department has
achieved within the archaeological
community as reason for the University’s
selection to be the location for a regional
office. He also praised Dr. McDaniel for
his work with the archaeological
program at W&L.

Dr. McDaniel, director of the Liberty
Hall excavation since it began in 1974,
will be the regional office advisor. He
will be assisted by Dr. I. Taylor Sanders
II, University historian, and Dr. Michael
A. Pleva, associate professor of
chemistry.

 

Douglas McLearan, a graduate of
Virginia Polytechnical Institute with a
master’s degree in anthropology from
the University of Virginia, has been
appointed survey archaeologist for the
W&L office. In addition to his
responsibilities for pre-construction
surveys in the three-county area,
McLearan will also participate in W&L
archaeology courses and seminars.

The newly begun regional program is
an outgrowth of a 1966 federal law, the
Historic Preservation Act, which makes
each state responsible for nominations to
the National Register of Historic Places.

Archaeological studies are also
required to determine that nothing of
cultural significance will be destroyed by
construction at sites where government
funds will be used, even if located on
private land.

 

New alumni magazine
staff writer appointed

Jeffrey L. M. Hazel, a 1977 W&L
graduate and a staff reporter for the
Buena Vista (Va.) News since last year,
became assistant director of publications
in September.

He will occupy the position for one
year under a program which annually
brings a recent W&L graduate into the
University’s publications and news-
information operations. Hazel takes the
place of Douglass W. Dewing, who is
now in law school at Washington
University, St. Louis, Mo. Dewing had
held the job since the one-year-assistant
program was inaugurated last summer.

Hazel earned his B.A. degree in
philosophy, with extensive course work
in English and creative writing. He
received the Fielder Cook Award for
creative filmmaking in 1977 and had
fiction published in the W&L student
literary magazine, Ariel.

As assistant publications director at
W&L, Hazel has substantial duties with
the alumni magazine, edits the Weekly
Calendar, and works closely with the
W&L news office, handling most routine
news-release writing.

New theatre season—
and a new approach

The University Theatre—formerly
the Troubadours—will open the fall
season late in October with a production
of Otherwise Engaged by Simon Gray.
Two other major productions, Ibsen’s A
Doll’s House and Candida by George
Bernard Shaw, will follow during the
season.

Otherwise Engaged will be directed by
John Jacobsen, a senior drama major.
The play will be the premiere
production in a new experimental
theatre series at W&L, “Studio
Presentations.”

The studio presentations will replace

required of each senior drama major.

theatre.

 

Federal grant supports
high-blood-pressure study

A team of biomedical investigators,
including H. Eugene King, W&L
professor of psychology, has been
awarded a $190,000 federal grant to
support research into the consequences
of hypertension.

Dr. King, a member of the W&L
faculty since 1977 and a research
psychologist experienced in evaluating
human brain-behavior relationships, will
conduct the behavioral research under
the National Heart, Lung and Blood
Institute grant. Working with him will
be Dr. Robert E. Miller, another
experienced research psychologist and a
long-time colleague of Dr. King.

The two scientists will undertake
detailed investigations over the next

 

 

Dr. H. Eugene King

three years into the changes in behavior
which may result from marked and
persistent elevation of the blood
pressure in the brain.

“Hypertension is a leading health
problem of the day,” according to Dr.
King. “Everyone has an intuitive grasp
of the fact that when something 1s
exciting, one’s heart pumps faster. If
something is chronically exciting—call it
stress if you want—be it negative or
positive, there will be a chronic effect.
This is the focus of our study: If one has
hypertension, then what are its
consequences?”

The research team will direct its
attention to the effects of sustained high
blood pressure on the brain. This is the
least studied of the three organs most
likely to be affected by persistent blood-
pressure elevation, King said. (The
kidney and the heart are the other two.)

Much of the test-data analysis, which
will be collected at the University of
Pittsburgh School of Medicine, is
expected to be carried out using W&L’s
newly installed computer facilities. Dr.
King will make periodic visits on
weekends throughout the academic year
to supervise the information-gathering
process at the Pittsburgh Medical
School.

 

Phillips continues widespread
professional involvements
Dr. Charles F. Phillips Jr., professor

of economics, has been elected to a
second term as national president of
Omicron Delta Epsilon (ODE), the
honor society for economists.

He had been president of the
organization in 1976 and 1977, and
became acting president this past
summer when his successor, Dr. I. James
Pikl, died. Phillips was elected to fill out
Dr. Pikl’s complete term at a meeting of
the ODE board of directors this month.

Phillips will be the leadoff speaker at
a two-day conference on utility
regulation in October in Washington,
D.C.

His topic will be “Public Utilities and
Regulation.” The symposium is
sponsored by Public Utilities Reports
Inc., publishers of the journal Public
Utilities Fortnightly and the industry’s
regular series of reports on regulatory
decisions.

In September, Phillips was also a
speaker at the regular public utilities
seminar sponsored in New York City by
Irving Trust Co. His discussion topic
was “The Cost-of-Money Approach.”
The Irving Trust seminars are designed
for utility executives and members of
state regulatory agencies. His
participation marked the 10th time
Phillips has been a speaker in the series.

 

Back to school, 1978

W&L opened its 230th academic year
this fall with its largest enrollment
ever— 1,742.

In the School of Law, 345 men and
women began the year in August. The
student population is higher than it has
ever been before, reflecting the gradual
expansion in the size of each entering
class since the law school moved into
Lewis Hall in 1976. That planned
expansion has now been completed, and
the size of the law student body is
expected to stay in the 340-350 range.

At the undergraduate level, the
University found itself with one of its
biggest freshman classes of all times—
381 men. The exceptionally large
freshman class is the result of a much-
higher-than-expected “confirmation
rate” among applicants to whom the
University offered admission last spring.
In the recent past, between 45 and 50
percent of the applicants whom W&L
accepted have actually ended up
attending W&L. This year the
confirmation rate was 57 percent.

Because of the unusually large size of
the class, W&L leased part of the old
Robert E. Lee Hotel for use as a
freshman dorm (as the University did

15

three years ago, when another
exceptionally large class enrolled).
Generally, the size of the freshman class
varies between 350 and 365, the range
the University considers ideal.

The absolute number of applications
W&L received for undergraduate
admission was down substantially this
year—from 1|,320—a year ago to 975.
Admissions officials attribute the drop
largely to the new writing essay which
the University required of all applicants
for the first time this year, designed to
allow case-by-case evaluation of each
applicant’s ability to think and write.

But the quality was not down. The
dropoff came primarily among
prospective applicants whose motivation
to attend W&L seems to have been
marginal from the outset and among
poorer students whose chances of being
offered admission were not good.

Statistical data for the new freshman
class show that its members are at least
as well qualified academically, as
measured by objective data, as last year’s
normal-size freshman class. Combined
College Board scores were virtually the
same, |,129 this year versus 1,130 a year
ago.
The “average” W&L freshman this
year ranked in the top quarter of his
high-school class, with a mean standing
of 73.7 on a base of 100, and 42 percent
of this year’s freshmen graduated in the
top one-fifth of their high-school classes.

 

 

Goshen Road, Rockbridge County, by Sally Mann

 

Mann photos
draw critics’ praise

An exhibition of photographs by 11
Southern artists, including Washington
and Lee’s Sally Mann, has drawn critical
praise from reviewers of both the
Washington (D.C.) Post and Star. The
exhibition, “I Shall Leave One Land
Unvisited,” took place in Washington’s
Corcoran Museum.

 

Paul Richard, chief critic for the Post,
wrote that Ms. Mann’s landscape
photographs are “subtle and elegant. . .
[Her work] enthralls the eye.”

Benjamin Forgey, reviewer for the
Star, said her “expectant otherworldli-
ness... is of a gentler sort” than some
of the works by other photographers in
the show. “There is something waiting
around that elegant bend of highway,”
he commented of her photograph of the

Or,

The Arithmetic

Of Parking as Taught
By the Students

The key to running a successful college:

Have plenty of football for the alumni, sex
for the students, and parking for the faculty.
—CLARK Kerr, when he was president of UCLA

If you lack confidence in the
ingenuity and imagination and
inventiveness of college kids today, take
heart. So what if they can’t tell a
participle from a patella, and maybe
they do think the multiplication tables
are located in the biology lab. Lock
horns and match wits with them in the
classroom if you must, but keep out of
their parking lots. If you think it’s
nerve-wracking at Bloomingdale’s on a
summer Saturday afternoon, keep your
distance from your otherwise-friendly
college campus whenever classes are in
session.

Learn from the example at
Washington and Lee—situated in the
tranquil, easygoing Valley of Virginia, in
Lexington, where even Robert E. Lee
could arrive in town and hardly cause a
stir, a scant hundred years or so ago, as
he did. Sleepy, some would say—who

have never been here when the students
are barrelling to class.

It used to be, as recently as the late
1960s, that W&L students simply
crammed their cars behind the gym ina
jumble that would send any self-
respecting traffic engineer to the
pacemaker dispensary. You’d leave your
keys in the ignition, so the people whom
you'd blocked might move your car if
they were out of class sooner than you.
Even if you were accustomed to driving
a big American car, you quickly learned
to maneuver a VW or an Opel, or else
you went to the Co-op for coffee for a
few hours.

(The faculty, of course, insists that
only the faculty is reduced to driving
VWs and Opels, that the students all
own block-long Oldsmobiles and
Bentleys, or if a small car, then at least a
Porsche or a Jaguar. Jealousy is a
relentless mistress.)

‘That pattern endured until six or
eight years ago, when two things
happened. One was that Washington

 

16

 

Goshen Road in Rockbridge County,
“but it is nothing more, nor less, than
the promise of perfect self-discovery.”

Following its Corcoran premiere, the
exhibition begins a three-year tour of
museums and galleries throughout the
United States.

The | 1-person exhibition marks the
second time in a year Ms. Mann’s photos
have been shown at the Corcoran. Last
autumn, her one-woman exhibition.
“Lewis Hall Portfolio”—pictures taken
during construction of W&L’s new law
building—also brought critical raves.

 

Math teacher participates
in Symposium on the ’80s

Robert L. Wilson, associate professor
of mathematics, participated in a
conference on the prospects for
mathematics education in the 1980s,
over the summer.

The conference, “Prime-80,” was
sponsored by the Mathematics
Association of America.

More than 50 mathematicians from
around the country attended the
conference, which recommended that
mathematics educators “undertake
immediately the project of defining, or
redefining, the basic skills that
mathematics education should impart to
every citizen.” 4

Wilson was one of only a small
number of teachers from undefgraduate

 

Whipple Lives!

Perhaps the least cheering statement
ever made on the subject of art is that

nounce that he had “had a bit part in

°78 art season opens

The 1978 duPont Gallery art season
opened in September with the first of a
series of exhibitions organized in
cooperation with Dr. and Mrs. Jacob
Weinstein of Washington, D.C., parents
of an alumnus and owners of Jacob’s
Ladder Gallery in Washington.

The September show was of the
paintings of Dan Kuhne, a Maryland
artist who emerged on the national art
scene in 1972 through an exhibition at
Jacob’s Ladder. During the first week of
his W&L show, Kuhne visited the
University for a reception and a series of

workshop sessions with W&L art
students.

Dr. and Mrs. Weinstein have been
important friends and benefactors of the
University and its contemporary art
collections for several years, and
recently they established a fund to
enable W&L students to study with
practicing artists.

 

New teachers

Five new teachers in the School of
Law and six teachers and a research
associate in the undergraduate divisions

joined W&L’s faculty in September.

In the School of Law, Jan G. Deutsch
1S a visiting professor for 1978-79. He is
a B.A., LL.B. and Ph.D. graduate of
Yale University and has an M.A. degree
from Clare College, Cambridge. He has
taught at Yale, Stanford, Georgetown,
Florida and Michigan.

Peter G. Glenn, a member of the law
faculty at the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill, is visiting
associate professor of law at W&L this
year. He received his law degree from
the University of Pennsylvania following
his undergraduate education at
Middlebury.

New assistant professors of law are
Samuel W. Calhoun and Edward O.
Henneman, and Denis J. Brion is
visiting assistant law professor.

Calhoun is a graduate of Harvard and

 

and Lee expanded the gym, and
Caterpillars and cranes, bigger than
even a Buick, pushed the student cars
out. The other was placid little
Lexington’s Great Bank Heist. It seems
that a larcenous local reprobate resolved
one day to acquire a substantial sum of
cash, but alas possessed neither a savings
account nor his own set of getaway
wheels. He knew, however, that an
abundance of cars was to be found
behind the Washington and Lee gym, all
with their keys conveniently left in the
ignition. So he helped himself to one,
and relieved the Rockbridge Bank of
funds sufficient to relieve his
embarrassing cash-flow itch. (The
authorities noted and traced the license
plate on the car, but the student who
owned it was absolved when it was
certified that he had, at the moment the
robbery took place, been afflicted with
an examination in the class of a certain
economics professor who also happened
to be the Dean of Students.)

Those two almost-simultaneous events

 

No Man’s Land
brought to an abrupt end the student

body’s brilliant, chaotically organized
parking pattern behind the gym. But in

 

the end it proved impossible to keep a
good impulse down, theft and major
construction notwithstanding.

In due course, with yet other
construction planned on the campus,
Washington and Lee determined to
provide new parking areas for its
students, and hired the best parking-lot
designers money could buy. And lo, a
new lot, probably the most attractive in
Virginia or maybe the world, was
opened near Lee Chapel with
appropriate fanfare. It was designed to
accommodate precisely 68 cars, the
number that had been displaced from
the old 100-by-200 lot where the gym

addition now stands.

The new lot was engineered within an
inch of its life. It has nooks and crannies
everywhere, bowered with exotic shrubs
and trees imported from all over the
world—everything to distinguish it in
the most emphatic way possible from
your garden-variety shopping-center
parking lot. And it would hold exactly
68 cars.

For the Colts’ W&L,
we yell, yell, yell!

For W&L’s football Generals, this
seems to be what the sportswriters call
a “rebuilding year.” But even so, there
is at least one estimable parallel an
optimist can draw.

The Baltimore Colts, who could
use a little rebuilding themselves,
“have a press-agent’s history-making
dream,” writes John F. Steadman,
sports editor of the Baltimore News-
American—*“Washington & Lee in the
same backfield,” Joe Washington and
Ron Lee. “It lends itself to all kinds of
possibilities,” Steadman says.

 

“Washington and Lee University
might even take a rooting interest in
the Colts, and the way things have been
going they can use all the help they can

et.
8 “And then, too, the Colts’ band
could strike up the ‘Washington and
Lee Swing’....

“Washington and Lee [the
University], coincidentally, has the
same colors as the Baltimore football
team, blue and white....

“(Colts}] Coach Ted Marchibroda
hasn’t said anything about trying to
schedule W&L because the Colts, in
their present state of physical duress,
might find they are overmatched... .”

 

 

earned his law degree from Georgia. He
has taught at the Universities of
Wyoming and Puget Sound

(Washington state). Henneman, a B.A.
graduate of Yale with a law degree from
Harvard, has been connected with W&L
since 1972, when he became associate
director of development in charge of
deferred giving programs and an
adjunct professor of law. Brion, a B.S.
graduate of Northwestern University
with a law degree from Virginia, taught
previously at William & Mary.

In The College, W&L’s
undergraduate arts-and-sciences
division, new assistant professors are
Jean Dunbar in English, Jay B. Labov in
biology, David P. Robbins in

mathematics and Lee D. Gordon in
philosophy.

Dunbar is a B.A. graduate of Kenyon.
She received her M.A. degree from
Virginia and is a Ph.D. candidate there.
Labov is a B.A. graduate of the
University of Miami and holds an M.A.
from the University of Rhode Island,
where he expects to receive his Ph.D.
Robbins received his B.A. degree from
Harvard and his Ph.D. from
Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
He came to W&L from Hamilton
College, where he was also an assistant
professor. Gordon, formerly an assistant
philosophy professor at the University
of Illinois, has his Ph.D. degree from the
University of Texas and received his

undergraduate education at Carleton
College.

In The School of Commerce,
Economics and Politics, new assistant
professors are Reginald R. Yancey in
accounting and W. David Jones in
administration.

Yancey is a B.S. graduate of Virginia
State College and received his law
degree last spring from W&L. He has
been a staff accountant with two firms,
and taught accounting on an adjunct
basis at W&L last year. Jones is a B.S.
graduate of the University of Tennessee
and earned his M.B.A. from Augusta
College. He is a candidate for the
doctorate in business administration at
Indiana University.

Also joining the W&L faculty this
autumn under a one-year appointment
was Arlon K. Kemple, a Ph.D. candidate
in political science at the University of
North Carolina (Chapel Hill). He will
work with teachers and students in
economics, sociology and politics,
primarily expanding their familiarity
with the University’s new computer
facilities and helping them explore ways
the computer can be used to enhance
teaching and research opportunities at
the undergraduate level. His
appointment is sponsored by a grant to
W&L from the National Science
Foundation under its Comprehensive
Assistance to Undergraduate Science
Education (CAUSE) program.

 

The students scoffed at Washington
and Lee and its high-powered
consultants. Sixty-eight cars! Before
anyone knew what happened, they
developed their own pattern for parking
an average of 98 cars there, almost half
again as many as the experts thought
they could. And generally they do it
without blocking anyone else. (The
architects who designed the lot, GWSM
Inc., imported all the way from
Pittsburgh, are still astonished.) When a
student occasionally does block in
another, the victim is absolutely
sanguine about it, according to Frank A.
Parsons, who, as assistant to President
Huntley, is in charge of such things. It
doesn’t happen often, he says, but when
it does, the reaction isn’t one of hysteria
but rather “Okay, maybe [ll block you in
tomorrow.”

Not long ago, Washington and Lee
began still more construction, this time
building a new library. And that meant a
whole lot of faculty parking had to be
eliminated.

Students are used to coping with
adversity, but Doctors of Philosophy are
another species. They shine in
committee meetings, but put them in a
real-life parking-lot crisis and you’ve got
trouble with a capital T.

 

So the University thought—briefly—
of changing the new Lee Chapel lot
from “B” to “A,” from upperclassmen to
faculty and staff. But even the high-
powered imported parking-lot experts
from Pittsburgh had to admit defeat and

quash that silly notion. Displace nearly a
hundred students in favor of 68
professors, and the consequences would
be unimaginable and uncontrollable. If
a Ph.D. found his car blocked by a
colleague’s, he’d be at the dean’s
doorstep in a trice (considering that he
couldn't get there in his Maverick). And
where to put the students whose Le
Barons had been displaced by a fraction
as many faculty Hondas?

So the faculty lost. Students now own
and control the new parking lot into
which the University frankly admits it
wouldn't dare send its agents. Professors
park on side streets halfway into the
county or, if they are smart, they walk to
school and boast about the exercise
they’re getting. Frank Parsons, the
assistant to the president, is one of the
brave few who still parks in the new
lot—but even he had to abandon his
Impala to his wife and daughter, and
buy a Rabbit for himself, to get away
with it.
