The film was made almost 20 years ago by O. W. Riegel, then head of W&L’s journalism department. | A 32-page illustrated catalogue of the exhibition was also published by Washington and Lee. Organizer of the exhibition and principal author of the catalogue was Dr. Pamela Hemenway Simpson, assistant professor of art history. This year’s was the fourth in a series of winter exhibitions she has mounted annually to mark important W&L and Lexington art resources. Nineteen of the Junkin works in the 2 exhibition are reproduced in black-and- white in the catalogue, and the cover shows a 1963 watercolor of a harbor scene in full color. The catalogue also contains a biographical essay by Simpson, an appreciation of the artist by W&L President Robert E. R. Huntley, a commentary by James W. Whitehead, curator of W&L’s Reeves Porcelain and Herreshoff collections, and margin comments taken from Junkin’s 1955 Biographical Notes and from the reminiscences of some of his former colleagues. After graduation from W&L with a degree in history, Junkin went to New York City, where he studied at the Art Students League under the famed painter Top: The late Marion M.

He taught at the old Richmond School of Art, now a part of Virginia Commonwealth University, from 1934 until leaving in 1942 to establish the art program at Vanderbilt. Throughout his lifetime, his paintings were widely exhibited at such museums and galleries as the Corcoran, the Whitney, the Chicago Art Institute, the Carnegie Institute, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the 1939 New York World's Fair. He won three prizes in Virginia Museum of Fine Arts competitions in the 1930s. He began working in fresco painting in the 1950s, and his murals in that medium are located in Richmond, Memphis and Lexington. 4 In 1949, when he arrived to found Washington and Lee’s art department, Junkin was awarded an honorary doctorate. The citation described him as “an artist whose discerning eye has perceived beauty and whose knowing hand has created it . . . a teacher with a zeal to share the satisfactions of the world of art.” Among the notable paintings in the W&L exhibition is First Robin, singled out for praise by Life magazine in 1941. Another is his whimsical Autobiography (1944), in which Junkin shows himself balancing the demands of teaching, painting and family life against backdrops of his professional environments— Washington and Lee, New York City and Nashville.

M. Hazel, ’77 A GALAXY OF JOURNALISTS Workshop for Investigative Reporters Brings 8 Pulitzer-Prize Winners to Campus Eight Pulitzer Prize-winners and 150 journalists and college students from throughout the east and south took part in a major conference at Washington and Lee in February on investigative reporting. The three-day Investigative Reporters and Editors (I.R.E.) workshop was organized by W&L’s Clark R. Mollenhoff, himself a Pulitzer recipient (1958) for his investigations into labor racketeering. Mollenhoff joined the W&L journalism faculty as professor in 1976 after 25 years with the Des Moines (Iowa) Register and Tribune as Washington, D.C., correspondent. He is a member of the Board of Directors of I.R.E. Washington and Lee, of course, was the first institution in the United States to offer academic training for journalists, when Robert E. Lee. president of what was then called Washington College, established a series of “press scholarships” in 1869. By 1925 the University had developed a full Department of Journalism and Communications through an endowment created by the Southern Newspaper Publishers Association. Robert W. Greene of Newsday on Long Island, past I.R.E. president, opened the conference in Lee Chapel and set the tone for many subsequent speakers’ remarks. Speaking on the topic “Freedom of the Press,” which he defined as “a simple doctrine—exempt from government control,’ Greene paraphrased James Madison's warning: “In a free nation, rights are not lost overnight; they are gradually nibbled to death.” “Our craft keeps—and should always keep—sacred that temple,” Greene declared. “Freedom of the press is absolute. “Information need not be true—though we Strive to be accurate. Opinions need not be correct—though based in fact. Our essential premise is: We have a professional responsibility to be right, but a Constitutional right to be wrong. “But because we have become, bigger, better and more pervasive, and because our reporters have become infinitely better educated, trained and paid, we are threatened now as never before. We must answer— Who are we? What are we doing? 6 Dick Cady, a Pulitzer Prize-winner with the In- dianapolis Star, and Tom Miller, with the Hunt- ington (W. Va.) Herald-Dispatch, during a session on “getting the records and keeping the record.” What do we hope to achieve?” During the next two days, the “eminent snoopers,” in the phrase of W&L journalism department head R. H. MacDonald, sought answers to those questions. While discussing their own experiences, they attempted to construct guidelines for others to follow. Panel topics and participants ranged from “planning the investigation’ (Jack Driscoll of the Boston Globe, Charles Thompson of ABC News’ “20/20,” and Greene) through “probing state and local government” (Jerry O'Neill of the Globe, Anthony Dolan, Pulitzer winner with the Stamford, Conn., Advocate), “Washington investigations” (Dan Thommason, bureau chief for Scripps-Howard Newspapers, John Fialka of the Washington, D. C., Star, and Norman Brewer of Gannett News Service); TV investigative reporting (James R. Polk, Pulitzer winner when he was with the Washington Star and now with NBC News, current president of I.R.E.) to “getting the records and keeping the record’ (Pulitzer winner Dick Cady of the Indianapolis Star and Morton Mintz of the Washington Post). There was a session too on ethics, moderated by Dr. Louis W. Hodges of Washington and Lee. He is head of the University’s professional ethics program. Among his panelists were A. E. Fitzgerald, the U.S. Air Force cost analyst who lost his job—temporarily—for whistle-blowing, and Marvin Stone of U.S. News and World Report. There was general agreement on procedures for getting and filing notes. But there was no consensus on such questions as source protection and the reporter's right to withhold notes. During a session on state and local government, Dolan of the Stamford Advocate named judicial activism as the investigative reporter's greatest enemy. The question then arose of the extent to which a reporter should be expected to assist or cooperate with law enforcement officials. The Globe’s O’Neill declared that a reporter should not volunteer to cooperate with anyone. “We are not extensions of law enforcement agencies,” he said. “They have subpoena power; they don’t need your help.” Dolan’s rebuttal: Though the point is well taken, in some instances the reporter “has to become” the focus of officials’ attention. “I do not cooperate with agencies, but with people. And there are some dedicated prosecutors.” In a provocative luncheon talk, Jack Anderson declared that “too many” journalists today “are becoming creatures of their keepers.” “The state department reporter,” he said, “often begins to look like the foreign diplomat, wearing tweed jackets and puffing on a pipe. The Pentagon reporter often comes home looking like he just got off maneuvers. Each, in turn, begins to write critical stories of the other. Often this does give us good stories—but in a strange way. “Press spokesmen are hired to lie to us; they are expected to lie,” Anderson said. “There is not one of them who does not lie professionally. I would fire a reporter who would depend on Jody Powell as a news Jack Anderson, principal luncheon speaker at I nvestigative Reporters and Editors conference, and Clark R. Mollenhoff, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigator who is now teaching journalism at WUL. +S ae : SSS ASSESS At the I.R.E. conference, (left to right), Dick Krantz of WHAS-TV, Louisville; James R. Polk, president of I.R.E., of NBC News, Washington; Ed Alwood, reporter for WTTG (Metromedia), Washington, D.C., and Hampden H. Smith of the WeL journalism faculty. source. We dont call Powell and ask what is happening—we call to tell him what is happening and ask if he has a comment.” Again, disagreement. Later that day, in the session on Washington investigations, the Star's Fialka commented: “Not all public relations people lie. Nine times out of 10 they just don’t know the truth.” During his wide-ranging address, Anderson ripped into the Carter administration and its attitude of what he called “almost inflexible” moral certainty. Carter gives the impression, Anderson said, that he has a direct line to God. And when you have that, he said, “you don’t have to pay much attention to Cyrus Vance.” At one point Anderson described Carter as “an inexperienced President relying on inexperienced counselors.” That, Anderson declared, is the “big story” of White House coverage. Anderson described the role of his own ‘ syndicated column, “Washington Merry- Go-Round,” as “a news service covering the shady side of the street.” During the balance of the weekend, it became evident that a significant problem for reporters themselves is defining how they should act and to whom they should feel responsible. During the ethics session, there was predictable agreement that concern for fairness must be the key to journalistic decision-making. Marvin Stone of U.S. News asserted that the use of innuendo is crippling the credibility of reporters among the American public and the courts. “With the use of innuendo,” he said, “many journalists sent Rockefeller out of this world on a banana peel. And many ask—these reporters expect First Amendment rights?” The Air Force’s Fitzgerald—who claims to have gotten fair treatment from the media during his 10 years “on the roster of four Presidents”—agreed. “Find out what the true gluttons of privilege are up to, he said. “That’s what the public wants to know. But be accurate, and be fair. If a reporter is fair, there is nothing to criticize.” _ When a participant in the ethics session questioned the panel about whether it is proper to report information he read in a memo on a press spokesman’s desk while the spokesman was out of the office, Fitzgerald rejected the notion that the government has a “right” to property when it comes to information at all. The “right” to that information was indeed the reporter s—and the public’s, Fitzgerald said. “But it is a form of eavesdropping,” interjected Hodges of Washington and Lee. “That's what we are paid for,” Greene rejoined. Throughout the I.R.E. workshop, the question of what a reporter does to get his story seemed to narrow down to a personal sense of ethics. Plato quoted Socrates as saying “The life which is unexamined is not worth living.” Who would have supposed that 20th-century journalism would take up the banner of the philosopher? A powerful searchlight marked the place. The six-foot Fancy Dress ball itself. Bandleader Lester Lanin had beanies for eager Fancy Dressers. There was romance everywhere . . . ... and pulchritude. They boogied in the hallways . . oS ss ‘tee ] More than 1,400 couples took “a taste of the Big Apple” in March at the anrjual Fancy Dress Ball, which yet again’ underscored its reputation as the “outstanding collegiate social event in the South,” in the phrase of the New York Times many years ago—in the country, period, in the phrase of this year’s partygoers. Since its revival four years ago, Fancy Dress has become the focus of the whole year's social activity at the University. Alumni flock to it. (They came this year from Houston, from New Haven, from Chicago, from New Orleans—from everywhere, it seemed, W&L has alumni.) Students began preparing for it almost as soon as classes began after the Christmas holiday. They even, some professors report with undisguised astonishment, prepared class assignments far in advance so as to clear the entire Fancy Dress week for play. Lester Lanin and his big band provided the music this year—the most danceable in the past several Fancy Dresses. (That verdict was nearly unanimous, and says a great deal about Lanin; his recent predecessors have included the likes of Woody Herman and the Jimmy Dorsey orchestra.) The students decorated Evans ... and a gang of godfathers hovered around Central Park. They were exuberant on the dance floor. . . . and pensive in private places. Some loved other places more than New York. Student Body President Beau Dudley crooned with Lanin. Hula dancers entertained in “Trader Vic's.” Cheek-to-cheek is chic again. Hall within an inch of its life as usual; this year, they even had a huge illuminated sphere outside. (The Fancy Dress ball, of course.) The main dance floor—under more ordinary circumstances, the dining hall— was decorated as the Ballroom of the Waldorf. The coatroom was done up as Central Park. The Cockpit (W&L’s sandwich-and-beer place) was Trader Vic’s, and exotic and not-so-exotic dancers tripped, or lumbered, the light fantastic all night long. There was migraine-inducing | disco dancing, by far the most popular attraction for a good many Fancy Dressers, 10 Young lovers at Saturday's Buffalo River party. in “Studio 54,” which during the rest of the year is the student center’s Fairfax Lounge. In one erstwhile meeting room, transformed for the duration into “Greenwich Village,” a Brazilian music ensemble entertained; in another, a thurmaturgist performed mind-boggling feats of a prestidigatory sort; in yet another, W&L’s own “Radio City,” cartoons and short movies were screened all night. One hallway was done yp as a composite of Fifth and Lexingto# Avenues, complete with designer windows of Saks and Bloomingdale’s. Another hall was a graffiti-covered subway station (the students this year aspired to complete realism); yet another was the Great White Way. As usual, Fancy Dress formally got under way Thursday night, with a group called the Vandales (“a showy dance act,” according to the Ring-tum Phi) out at Zollman’s Pavillion, the student body’s favorite party place on the Buffalo River, about six miles out in the county. The weekend wound down in the wee hours Sunday, after yet another wild frolic back out at Zollman’s down by the riverside. Depending on whom you ask, there were 3,000, maybe 4,000 at that Saturday extravaganza. “Merging Traffic’ and “The Backstabbers,’ which are the names of bands, not phenomena, were the alleged highlights of the afternoon. Yet another Fancy Dress tradition was preserved; the weather miraculously warmed up, after a vicious period just before the weekend, into the 60s on the day of the Ball itself; it didn’t get cold again until pretty late on Saturday, when most revelers were past noticing anyway. . . and they cuddled. Everyone loved New York to the very end. They played .. . 11 & GAZETTE Reeves, Herreshoff collections At South Carolina festival W&L’s Reeves Collection of Chinese export porcelain and the paintings of Louise Herreshoff, “an American artist discovered,” will be shown in Charleston, S. C., in May as part of the spectacular Spoleto festival—a week-long citywide celebration of the arts, from dramatics to the visual arts.

Swift Assistant Professor of English Stuart s Nabokov: The Reader | As Artist Nabokov: The Dimensions of Parody by Dabney Stuart, Professor of English, Wash- ington and Lee University; Louisiana State University Press, 1978. Besides writing novels, the late Vladimir Nabokov also collected butterflies and de- vised complicated chess problems. As one might expect, his novels are usually praised for their ingenuity, their delicate craftsman- ship, or the diaphanous beauty of their prose: equally predictably, when they are criticized it is for obscurity, self-indulgence, and ir- relevant frivolity. The reader of Nabokov, instead of finding in the fiction a credible imitation of life, must play an elaborate game with unfamiliar rules, threading a maze of literary clues—repeated words and images, suspiciously similar characters—in pursuit of elusive meanings which, when found, point him only to further puzzles. Nabokov’s art is quintessentially self-reflexive—it wants to comment on itself and the act of artistic creation rather than on the “real world”— and such introspection can be irritating: it smacks of the gay, the heedless, and the socially irresponsible. But the irritation afflicts only the reader who comes to literature with certain precon- ceptions, one of which is the traditional dis- tinction between life and art, fact and fiction: I put “real world” in quotation marks because it is just such a concept that Nabokow’s fiction ultimately questions. In Nabokov: The Di- mensions of Parody, Dabney Stuart examines six of the author's less well-known works in order to re-arrange our assumptions about literary “realism” (another term in need of hard scrutiny), and to demonstrate that un- derstanding art may actually be the most meaningful way of understanding life. The title of Stuart’s book reflects his sense that all fiction, regardless of its intended “realism,” is parodic, and that, as he puts it, since any fiction is a parody of life, the best fiction or the fiction that is most consciously itself, is the fiction that acknowledges as completely as it can be made to do its own parodic nature. To put this in terms which have traditionally riddled commentaries on fiction, the last thing a writer should try to do is bamboozle his readers into “identify- ing with,” or “sympathizing with,” his characters. The object, on the contrary, is to keep the reader at a substantial distance from not only the characters but the book in which they appear, to put him as much as possible in the place where he competes Le GArev ve autumn for health reasons, and the play represented his return after a directorial absence of a year. Visitors to campus —The annual Legal Ethics Institute—a co-curricular activity of the University’s pre-professional ethics programs in law, journalism and medicine—brought seven alumni who are practicing attorneys to campus this spring for two days of formal and informal seminars and discussions with W&L undergraduates and two eminent legal scholars, William H. Erickson, justice of the Colorado state supreme court, and Geoffrey C. Hazard Jr., professor of law at Yale. Erickson was on campus for a week under the auspices of the Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellows of the bar in its dealings with the crimi- “Contact” speakers Eugene McCarthy and William Rusher. with the author, to give him a sense of participating in the game of composition, to remind him, in short, of the nature of the experience he is involved in; that is, read- ing, confronting an imaginative creation that has its own principles of reality that do not ask to be viewed from the same per- spective one takes on other aspects of his life. In other words, fiction should not try to be life, nor should we compare it to life; it per- forms its function best by being unlike life, by destroying the real world and rebuilding it as a game or puzzle, a linguistic construc- tion erected according to its own rules. Stuart’s definitional logichere—“since all fiction is parody, the best fiction is the most parodic’—is irrefutable; it’s also self-enclos- ed, and finally not very satisfying to the traditional sort of reader who wants literature somehow to bear on his own experience, who in fact wants to find something to “iden- tify with.” Stuart’s point, of course, is that to equate one’s self with a fictional character is a potentially disastrous act of self-decep- tion: he points to Nabokov's Invitation to a Beheading, whose protagonist mistakes a fictional world for a real one and barely es- capes death in his self-created drama. None- 16 theless, the reader’s question remains, and it is an important one: if we cannot locate ourselves in fictional characters and land- scapes, where is our place in the novel? Or, more pragmatically, why even bother to en- ter a world whose doors seem so resolutely barred against us? Stuart’s answer lies in the relocation of the reader from within the fic- tion to above it, to “the place where he com- petes with the author” in playing the game of fiction. When he understands the rules of the game, the best Nabokov reader becomes himself a craftsman, a maker of fictions: in- stead of entering the lives of the novels characters (a limited and limiting ambition, after all), he enters the act of creating those lives. And the understanding of authorship, of the imaginative creation and organization of a world, may finally be an understanding of “real” experience. In the final chapter of his book Stuart de- scribes Nabokov’s autobiographical Speak, Memory as imaginative narration in which events, ac- tions, details of landscape (both indoors and out) in themselves neutral, are formed, shaped, and rendered significant by a single, ordering consciousness. It is, in short, fiction, a molding (fingere), not op- posed to fact—the popular distinction one is numbed into accepting as a habit of daily perception—but the way fact is born. The opposite of fiction is Nothing, the famous Void, rien, nada, the Big Blank. “Fiction is not opposed to Truth, either,’ he warns us in a footnote; “—another lumpish tradition.” Here the boundaries between fictional and real worlds dissolve: Nabokov’s autobiography, ostensibly a document of historical truth, turns out to be a creative organization, an imaginative construction, a fiction. Yet it is no less “real” or “true” for that; any historian or biographer has con- fronted the paradox of constructing historical “truth,” fabricating an imaginary structure in which reality becomes meaningful. All of our significant realities—our memories, our assumptions, our expectations—are fictions in that they are subjectively organized con- structions, and in fact their importance— their “reality” to us—arises from their fic- tional nature. “Facts” are simply what the “single, ordering consciousness’ can pull, in an act of artistic creation, from what William James called “the empirical sand-heap,” Dabney Stuart’s “rien, nada, the Big Blank.” Studying fiction, then, we study the ways in which we know ourselves and our worlds; nal justice system.

Dabney Stuart hence my earlier claim that the understand- ing of art is the most meaningful under- standing of life. The first novel that Stuart discusses, for example, is The Real Life of - Sebastian Knight, akind of detective story in which the narrator and reader sort and as- semble the pieces of a man’s biography, jux- taposing the fragmentary perspectives of those who have known him. The resulting assemblage becomes Sebastian's realest his- tory, and thus his realest self; finally the nar- rator recognizes that in constructing an identity he has assumed that identity, has become Sebastian Knight. Stuart comments that the game of detection is directed beyond itself. In The Real Life of Sebastian Knight the highest region of serious emotion is the region in which a man searches for his iden- tity, the region of the question “Who am IP’ and the book is therefore both a game and a quest for self-knowledge. There are surely few more important ques- tions and quests in experience; Stuart's identification of this “highest region of seri- ous emotion” in Nabokov’s art responds di- rectly to its detractors’ charges of narcissism and “irrelevance.” And it is just this region that remains inaccessible to the reader who refuses to play the game and discover his reflection, not in fictional characters, but in the creator of fictions. Such a reader dis- misses the game as pointless literary postur- ing or child’s play; he misses its moral di- mensions, its involvement in his own “reali- ties.” I've perhaps been heavy-handed in my summary of Stuart’s argument for the value of parody as a model for significant literature; Nabokov: The Dimensions of Parody is no didactic tract, and the force of its reasoning emerges only gradually and obliquely from deceptively playful and game-like critical structures. Stuart's prose style—as I hope the examples I've quoted make clear—is anything but formally academic; it’s unpre- tentiously graceful, marked by common sense and impatience with any stolidity of thought. In fact, an obvious analogy occurs to me: Stuart’s book bears much the same relation to most criticism that Nabokov s fic- tion does to most conventional novels. His reader, like Nabokov’s, discovers that the graceful and apparently inconsequential - games are drawing him toward another kind of significant reality. As the last move of the game, the reader of Nabokov may be released back into the “real world;” similarly, Stuart's reader finds, in his words, “nowhere to turn except back to the book’—to the novelistic fiction which the critical fiction has parodied. 17 RED FOX/SECOND HANGIN W&L Alumni Present A True-History Drama Under Glasgow Sponsorship Dudley D. Cocke Jr., ’68 A true-history drama written by Donald H. Baker and Dudley D. Cocke Jr., both 1968 Washington and Lee University graduates, was presented at Washington and Lee in March by the Roadside Theatre. The play, entitled Red Fox/Second Hangin’, draws its plot from the oral history of the southwest Virginia mountain _area and its style from the traditional storytelling of the Southern Appalachians. The W&L production was sponsored by the Glasgow Endowment Program, inaugurated at W&L in 1960 “to promote the art of expression by pen and tongue. ” The play recounts the story of M. B. (Doc) Taylor, a doctor, surveyor and religious mystic who was hanged for murder in 1893 in Wise County, and is retold to the audience by three actor- tellers, Don Baker, Frankie Taylor and Gary Slemp. (Dudley Cocke, co-author, is also Roadside’s manager. ) The Roadside Theatre, a troupe founded by Baker and others in 1974, has presented Red Fox to widespread critical acclaim, particularly in New York, where it received very favorable reviews from the New York Times, Christian Science Monitor, Village Voice and The New 18 Yorker. The incidents of the trial and those leading up to it, were ferreted out by the two authors from court records and transcripts (“found at the top of an old, disappearing courthouse staircase, under a thick layer of coal dust, and separated by layers of “Rock and Rye’ whiskey bottles’), from old newspapers, and from the accounts of older residents who remembered Doc Taylor, or recalled stories passed down in families. “And the way these folks tell the story is often very different from the history books, yet closer to those forgotten documents, said Cocke. The Roadside format is to tell the story as just that—a story. The “actor-tellers” on stage sometimes portray characters, but more often they are narrators. Vintage slides, which help to illustrate the story—the actors use no other props or costumes—were all taken along the Cumberland Mountains at the time the story occurred, in the 1880s and 1890s. “Through these photos of a brown and faded world we will weave a story of color,” said Baker in his talk before the program began. The New York Times called Red Fox “as Donald H. Baker, ’68 stirring to the audience for its historical detective work as for the vanishing art of frontier yarnspinning. The Christian Science Monitor said the performance “was remarkable entertainment, the likes of which New York folks don’t encounter every day.” The New Yorker said the story was presented “quietly and with no pretensions whatever, but with talent and charm.” The troupe, most often performing in community centers, churches, schools, and theatres, at festivals and picnics, and on occasion in a rented revival tent, has striven “to develop a style of theatre that makes sense in a rural setting, that can reach the young and the old in the small communities of the Appalachians, the back hollows, and the coal mining camps.” It has gone where “conventional theatre seldom, if ever, travels.” The group is part of Appalshop, a non- profit media organization in Whitesbury, Ky., that produces records, films, and publications. As a W&L undergraduate, Baker was active in the University Theatre, then called the Troubadours, and in 1968 became the first student to direct a full- length play, The Country Wife.” Rowland Nelson 1902-1979 Dr. Rowland Whiteway Nelson, who taught English at Washington and Lee for 29 years until his retirement in 1967, died January 18 in San Diego, Calif. Surviving him are a daughter, Mrs. Paul Bargamin III (Roberta Joan Nelson Bargamin) of Richmond, and two grand- sons. His wife, the former Carrie Moore Neal Nelson, died in 1970. Nelson was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., May 17, 1902, and earned his academic degrees from Princeton University, Ox- ford in England, and Northwestern Uni- versity. He taught English at Narthwes- tern and at the University of North Caro- lina prior to joining the Washington and Lee faculty in 1938. Except for his years of naval duty dur- ing World War II, after which he rose to the rank of lieutenant commander in the Navy Reserves, and one semester of teaching at Virginia Military Institute, Nelson remained on the Washington and Lee faculty until his retirement in 1967. (He had recently received a letter of tri- bute from President Carter for his Navy navigation bomber duties during the Second World War.) While at W&L, Nelson was director for a time of the Troubadour Theatre, coach of the debate team, and a member of the Committees on Social Functions and Musical and Dramatic Activities, the Rhodes Committee, and the Publications Board. He was an organizer of the Lex- ington branch of the English-Speaking Union in 1948. Known to his students as “Thumper,” a nickname given him for his habit of thumping his feet as he read something of amusement in his courses or told a joke, according to his daughter, Nelson enjoyed fishing, painting, bird-watching, collect- ing coins, and playing golf in his years after retirement. _ A faculty resolution presented at the faculty's March meeting noted Nelson for “the urbanity he brought to his classes,” and the “taste, wit, polish, grace and re- finement that comprised the 18th-century ideal of the gentleman’ —an ideal that he strove to emulate. The faculty also remembered him in its resolution as a “kind, gentle, civilized man—a good teacher, a loyal friend, and a faithful colleague.” Esmarch Gilreath 1904-1979 Esmarch was known as a true friend to many at Washington and Lee. Always a real gentleman, he was, in his quiet and polite way, an important figure in the affairs of the Univer- sity. —Faculty Resolution April, 1979 Esmarch Senn Gilreath, head of the chemistry department at Washington and Lee University for 15 years until 1970 and a member of the W&L faculty for 29 years, died at his home in Lexington on March 3. He was 74. He is survived by his wife, Sara Taylor Gilreath. Dr. Gilreath came to Washington and Lee in 1946 from North Carolina, where he had earned his A.B., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees in chemistry from the University of North Carolina; he worked as a research chemist with American Enka Corp. and taught at U.N.C. while completing his doctorate. He became department head at W&L in 1955 and returned to full-time teaching in 1970. He retired in 1975. His 15 years as department head were characterized by utter fairness and an “insistence that every member of the chemistry faculty participate in decisions of importance to the department,” ac- cording to his colleagues on the faculty at the time of his retirement. He was always available, one fellow teacher commented, to help colleagues in whatever ways he could—from chemi- cal and educational problems to questions regarding house-hunting, gardening, and science fiction. Gilreath was the author of a number of college-level chemistry textbooks used by students throughout the nation, in- cluding Elementary Qualitative Analysis (1969), Experimental Procedures in Ele- mentary Qualitative Analysis (1968), Fundamental Concepts of Inorganic Chemistry (1958), and Qualitative Ana- lysis (1954, translated into Spanish and published in that language in 1960). His scholarship and writing were so highly regarded that one publisher wrote to him in 1968: “We could seek further critical opinions at this point, but prefer to go right ahead with copy editing with- out further delay. We are confident of the quality of the manuscript.” In his tenure at Washington and Lee, the chemistry faculty grew in size from four to seven full-time teachers, and stu- dent enrollment increased substantially as well. The number of courses increased by 50 percent. Facilities were improved dramatically as well: Dr. Gilreath assisted in the planning for the remodeling of Howe Hall, completed in 1962. The son of a physician, he was espec- ially interested in the University’s pre- medical curriculum, and during most of his time at W&L was the advisor to pre- med students. During the summers, Dr. Gilreath was frequently a visiting professor at other colleges, including the Universities of North Carolina, British Columbia, and Oregon. “He was an effective teacher—par- ticularly in designing and developing ex- periments for student use, William J. Watt, dean of the College and a fellow chemistry professor, had remarked upon Dr. Gilreath’s retirement in 1975. “The qualitative-analysis scheme which grew out of his Ph.D. dissertation is one of the most successful. The clarity of his writing and of his lectures has help- ed many a stumbling student to grasp the fundamentals of analytical chemistry.” 19 W&L MEN The Invading Troupe of Lee and Durante Dr. George Craddock: Modest Healer 20 Lee’s Norfolk campaign, a whirlwind assault of 20 hours, cannot be measured as yet in terms of its historical significance. This will depend, oddly enough, upon the future sales of Virginia Gentleman, a bourbon whiskey, in this Tidewater area.... Lee’s mission, basically, was to sell the whiskey . . . . He came to spread the word. This he did with singular cheerfulness and characteristic bursts of energy . . . . His lightning sweep of the Norfolk area was nothing new to this Lee—Robert E. Lee IV, 54, great-grandson of the noble Confederate general. He is vice president of the A. Smith Bowman Distillery of Reston, Virginia's only legal still... . The distillery is a small operation, employing 50 people. For example, the sales force and advertising department consists only of Lee and a golden retriever named Jefferson. (Both are also members of the Board of Directors.) The Norfolk campaign was designed and engineered by Lee’s lone lieutenant, a public relations man named Albert Durante, 63, a New Yorker. Virginia Gentleman is his only account. Durante, although this is rarely Dr. George B. Craddock is a 1930 graduate of W&L, a former member of the Alumni Board of Directors, and the 1971 recipient of the Lynchburg Citation, awarded to him by the Lynchburg alumni chapter for his service to his alma mater and for “his skill and compassion in serving his fellow man as a practitioner of the quiet miracles of healing.” The man some have called the hardest- working physician in the area has received this year’s Distinguished Internist Award from the Virginia Society of Internal Medicine. But Dr. George B. Craddock, a Lynchburg native who has practiced here for nearly 40 years, says he doesn’t know why he got the award. “T have tried to practice medicine conscientiously and competently . . . But I have no special accomplishments,” he says. Typical of his modesty is his quoting a famous Canadian physician and author, Sir William Osler, in his letter to the society’s mentioned as the two struggle to establish bourbon beachheads, also has a famous relative. Al Durante is the nephew of Jimmy Durante, the comedian, possibly better known generally than Robert E. Lee, the general. . . . The two are a team, an odd couple, an unusual combination of famous-name offshoots . . . . Durante resembles Jimmy but can’t play a piano. Lee might be said to resemble Lee... . Both men have New York accents. In Lee’s case, the sound is a bit disturbing. . . . He was born in Manhattan. His father, Dr. George Bolling Lee, was the doctor for the Plaza Hotel, in New York. Durante is also a Manhattan man. His great-grandfather farmed in Italy. His grandfather was an immigrant and a barber. Al's father was a New York detective, the older brother who had to pull Jimmy off the streets for piano lessons. In Norfolk the two, longing for a comfortable New York nightspot, were forced to station themselves in a hotel restaurant which, it was discovered, had turned itself into a disco with flashing lights and loud, pounding rock. Lee downed buckets of iced tea and a a Dr. George W.

Durante had half a beer, a Denver omelet, and turned to coffee. Their meandering conversation consisted of a series of shouts over the music. Lee, at one point, yelled the only way to enjoy New York nowadays was to resign Al Durante Today yourself to spending a lot of money. Durante, shouting back, expressed dissatisfaction with the way a terrible restaurant can become an overnight success after one visit from Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. How had they met? Durante growled at the top of his voice that he had graduated from Washington and Lee University in 1936. He worked as a reporter for the New York Daily News, went into public relations with J. Walter Thompson and was with the old Bourbon Institute, a business organization since disbanded, when he met Lee. Lee cried out, the lights flashing off his glasses, that he too had graduated from Washington and Lee, in 1949. He went west and spent 20 years in newspaper advertising with the San Francisco Chronicle. Once established with the distillery, he naturally attended meetings of the Institute, devoted to bourbon problems, and at one happy meeting of members discovered Durante was the only one there who could sing the We-L Swing, a good school song produced sometime after the death of Robert E. Lee, who joined the school as its president after the Civil War.... As the two left Norfolk, they were planning the invasion of Atlanta. —JOHN MCKELway, ’50 Staff Writer, Washington (D. C.) Star, Feb. 4, 1979 Reprinted with permission One has to rely on other physicians and Craddock’s wife, Mary Spencer, for a description of why he deserves the honor. A local physician says, “He’s dedicated and has applied himself assiduously to medicine. “He’s of the old school—he puts himself out for his patients; he’s unselfish. He makes more house calls than any other doctor in these parts. “If he has a fault, it’s that he drives himself too hard. I wish you'd ask his wife when he sleeps.” Mrs. Craddock verifies that yes, Craddock gets up by 6:30 a.m. to make his hospital rounds and, even after a hard day's grind, is usually back at the hospital late at night. Another doctor says this gentle, unassuming man tenaciously keeps up with advances in his field. A past president of the Lynchburg Academy of Medicine, Craddock still is known for “quizzing doctors” on medical news. Craddock remembers fondly the days when the academy would schedule monthly discussions on new medical information, something it is distracted from today by the need to deal with problems like getting new equipment for the hospitals. The lifelong student of medicine is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians and a Diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine. Mrs. Craddock says Craddock’s dedication to science extends to listening to medical lectures on a cassette player in his car as he drives from hospital to hospital. Still, he maintains a unique balance between the old and new. No slave to his up-to-date information, he says, “People have the idea that what is current is correct, which isn’t necessarily true.” In addition to recognition for his dedication to his patients and to science, Craddock probably received the Distinguished Internist Award in part for his labors as a member of the Virginia State Board of Medicine from 1963 to 1975. He was its president in 1973-74. He thus is familiar with the pains state doctors take to police their profession and says, they do a better job than they are given credit for.” Craddock is also enthusiastic about the board’s growing emphasis on continuing education for doctors. What would he have been if he hadn’t become a doctor? He says he doesn’t know, but his friends suspect he would have been an historian. They say he is a voracious reader of many histories—something he passes off with a laugh, saying he is a student of “heterogeneous history.” At any rate, Mrs. Craddock says when her hard-working husband is home, he can often be found curled up with a history book by the telephone, waiting for patients or the hospitals to call. —ALICIA GLASs Lynchburg Daily Advance March 7, 1979 Reprinted with permission 21 CHAPTER NEWS 1979 Lynchburg Citation Goes to Edward Graves, Adjunct Law Professor BALTIMORE.
