Members of the C lass of 1982 stand to applaud President Huntley s remarks. jor Huntley Three Awarded Honorary Degrees; Two Professors Retiring Standing ovations, once the rarest sign of an audience’s appreciation, seem to have become the rule than the exception these days—except, perhaps, for commencement speeches where standing ovations remain an exception. So it was particularly meaningful that those in attendance at Washington and Lee’s undergraduate commencement exercises on June 3—the graduates, their families and friends, the University faculty and administration, and everyone else—stood and applauded for several minutes when President Robert E. R. Huntley concluded his annual Commencement remarks. For Huntley, it was the 1S5th—and last— time that he would stand before a class of graduates as president of the University. He announced in February that he will retire at the end of 1982, before another class marches down the Colonnade. The standing ovation Huntley received was as much an expression of appreciation of and gratitude for the 14 previous times he The honorary degree recipients for 1982 were (from left) Katherine Womeldorf Paterson of Norfolk, Va.; Dr. E. Darracott Vaughan Jr., ’61, of New York City; and, Everett Tucker Jr., ’34, of Little Rock, Ark. had stood in that same spot as it was for his remarks on this occasion. Although some might have been tempted to use the opportunity to offer a parting message of some sort, Huntley characteristically declined to use it as such. ‘*A few of my friends have asked me whether I intended to make a kind of valedictory today,’’ Huntley told the graduates near the end of his remarks. “‘I do not so intend. This is your day, not mine.”’ In an unmistakeable way, though, the day was Huntley’s, too. And, as usual, he did not disappoint the graduates with this 15th edition of his remarks to them. Huntley encouraged the graduates to strive for what he called the ‘‘margin of surprise.”’ Said Huntley: [My father] told me—and impressed upon me—that if one applies himself diligently and with conviction to the task at hand, even when the end is not in sight, one will experience a ‘margin of Surprise’—an unexpected and satisfying result. I have not always been able to follow that advice . . . but when I have, it has worked. The margin of surprise has been there, the outcome of a day’s work—not always immediately and always unexpectedly—the outcome of the accumulation of each day.”’ During his remarks Huntley quoted extensively from an essay by Sir William Osler entitled ‘“‘A Way of Life.’’ He commended to the graduates Osler’s ‘‘simple and profound”’ philosophy—a philosophy of living each day for itself. Huntley concluded by telling the graduates: ‘‘Once in a while, go to the mountain top (as Osler put it) and take stock in yourself, your beliefs, and inquire into 2 your expectation of yourself. Demand a satisfying answer. Stay for a little while, but not too long, and do not return very often. When you come down, live your daily life with the real conviction that the goodness of each day is sufficient; if you do, you will have your margin of surprise.”’ Prior to Huntley’s remarks, the University conferred bachelors degrees upon 278 graduates and honorary degrees upon two distinguished alumni and the daughter of a third distinguished alumnus. The honorary degree recipients were: Katherine Womeldorf Paterson of Norfolk, Va., a prize-winning author of novels for children and young adults and the daughter of Rev. George Raymond Womeldorf, a 1917 graduate of the University; Everett Tucker Jr., ’34, the founder and president of the Industrial Development Company of Little Rock, Ark., and a moving force behind the development of the Little Rock area; and, Dr. E. Darracott Vaughan Jr., ’61, the James J. Colt Professor of Urology at Cornell University Medical Center in New York City and the attending urologist-in- chief at the New York Hospital. Edmund Perry of Birmingham, Ala., was the valedictorian of the Class of 1982. He had a cumulative grade-point average of 3.939 on W&L’s 4.0 scale. In addition to Huntley’s remarks, graduating senior Eric T. Myers of Tallahassee, Fla., president of the student body, presented remarks on behalf of the graduates. Several hours before the commencement exercises Maj. Gen. William J. McCaddin, adjutant general of the Commonwealth of Virginia, spoke at a commissioning ceremony for Washington and Lee’s Army Roy L. Steinheimer Jr., dean of the School of Law, presides over the law school’s commencement exercises. ROTC cadets. Sixteen new officers were commissioned in the ceremony. A day earlier, the graduates had heard Dr. Louis W. Hodges, professor of religion at W&L, discuss ‘‘fides’’ in the traditional baccalaureate sermon. First discussing “‘fides’’ or faith as a phenomenon, Hodges talked about the specific faiths of Washington and Lee and how those faiths relate to the supreme faith— faith in God. Referring to the University’s Honor Code, Hodges said that it ‘‘is precisely because people are ends in themselves, not means to your own ends, that you do not lie to them, cheat them, or steal from them. It is also because people matter that we speak to them, acknowledge their presence. . . . That is one of our faiths. People count. . . . People matter because God endows them with their high status. That is one of the special faiths that shape us.”’ The second faith, said Hodges, involves the pursuit of knowledge and the belief that “‘knowledge is never merely an end in itself. Knowledge is useful and must be used as an essential means to meet human needs.’’ Added Hodges: ‘‘In biblical faith and at Washington and Lee knowledge is always an end but never only that. Why? Because people count.”’ LAW COMMENCEMENT Undergraduate commencement exercises were preceded by the School of Law’s graduation on May 22. There were 107 juris doctor degrees awarded. Huntley told the law graduates that they are ‘‘privileged persons,’’ adding that ‘privileged means you have a larger measure of control over your destinies than do most. You have better opportunities than most. You have a better understanding of the world around you and what has gone before than most. ‘*You are also, because of your privileged status, obligated persons,’’ he continued. ‘‘Especially as lawyers, your obligations and your opportunities for service to others and to our American experience will be great.’’ Huntley said the graduates’ task is not, ‘‘as some would have it, as brokers of power or negotiators of advantage.’’ Power, he said, ‘‘is a fact. But in a democracy, it is no substitute for justice. Your task is, then, truly a cosmic one. It is to demonstrate the reality of justice in the operation of the law.”’ Turner, Williams retire from teaching Two senior professors who have taught at Washington and Lee University for a combined total of 73 years retired at the end of the current academic year. Charles W. Turner, who taught history at W&L from 1946, and Charles W. Williams, who taught mathematics from 1937 to 1939 and then from 1948 to the present, both have been designated professors emeriti by the University’s Board of Trustees. Turner and Williams were formally recognized during the University’s undergraduate commencement exercises. Turner is a 1937 graduate of the University of Richmond. He received a master’s degree from the University of North Carolina and a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota. A native of Fredericks Hall in Louisa County, Virginia, Turner has taught courses in general American history, the history of the American frontier, the history of Portuguese and Spanish colonial South America, and general Latin American history. Chief among Turner’s research interests has been the history of Virginia railroads. He is the author of a full-length book entitled Chessie’s Road. His other books include My Dear Emma and Stories of Ole Lexington. Additionally, Turner has written more than 50 articles in the field of economic history and dealing with such topics as agricultural development and immigration. Turner has served as historian, librarian, and genealogist for the Rockbridge Historical Society and has edited and published annotated versions of the letters of a large number of Civil War-era Rockbridge County residents. He has served on the Virginia Fulbright Committee and the National Fulbright Selection Committee. Turner was honored earlier this year by the establishment of an endowed scholarship in his name. In April, Turner was presented the second annual William Webb Pusey III Award for his outstanding service and dedication to Washington and Lee. At the Same time he was one of six recipients of annual awards presented by the Ring-tum Phi, the student newspaper at W&L. Williams is a native of Augusta, Ky. He received a bachelor’s degree from Harvard, a master’s degree from the University of Maryland, and a Ph.D. from the University of Virginia. In 1937, Williams joined the Charles W. Williams ( center) was recognized during the co BS mmencement exercises. mathematics faculty at Washington and Lee as an instructor. He left in 1939 to take a similar position at Armstrong Junior College in Savannah, Ga. After holding positions as an instructor at both the University of North Carolina and North Carolina State, Williams returned to Washington and Lee in 1948. Williams has had articles published in Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society and Computer Application Service. He has conducted research at the University of Oklahoma on a grant from the National Science Foundation and taught at a National Science Foundation In-Service Mathematics Institute in Roanoke, Va. Williams has been a visiting summer professor at both the University of Virginia and Virginia Military Institute. The Kaplans: Like Son, Like Father A casual dinner-table conversation resulted in one of the more unusual stories in Washington and Lee’s history this June when Dr. Benjamin Kaplan and his son, Jim, received their bachelors degrees together. The story actually begins in September of 1941. That is when Ben Kaplan first arrived in Lexington, following the footsteps of his four brothers, all of whom had earned W&L degrees before him. Had nothing out of the ordinary intervened, Ben would have received his degree in 1945. Something did intervene, however. World War II. ‘*Like so many other students during that era, the war altered my college studies considerably,’’ explained the elder Kaplan, who had begun to pursue the premed curriculum at W&L. ‘‘We really rushed through schools in those days. We missed a lot.”’ One thing Kaplan missed was English 151-152, a course in the history of English literature that was required for graduation. ‘‘T went to classes here at W&L from 1941 until the summer of 1943, doubling up on a lot of classes in order to get through because of the Navy’s V-12 program,’’ he explained. **In 1944, I was accepted at the University of Louisville’s medical school. In those days you didn’t have to have a bachelor’s degree to get into med school.”’ And Kaplan didn’t have his. ‘‘T thought several different times about getting the requirements satisfied. I even was enrolled at a junior college in Florida when I was in the Navy,”’ he said. Before long, though, Dr. Kaplan was immersed in his work. He established a cardiology practice in Chicago and became a The Kaplans—Benjamin (left) and Jim—prepare to march together at commencement.

For 35 years or so, English 151-152 was the farthest thing from Ben Kaplan’s mind. After that 35-year intermission, the story quite innocently took a dramatic turn around Christmas, 1980, when Jim Kaplan came home for the holidays from W&L where he was a sophomore in the School of Commerce, Economics, and Politics. ‘We were having dinner at home one evening when I casually mentioned to Dad that he ought to consider going back and getting his bachelor’s degree,’’ recalled Jim, who was co-captain of the Generals’ varsity golf team this past spring. ‘*T just said it out of the blue. I wasn’t trying to push him or anything like that. But Mom is always trying to get us away from the football games on TV.”’ Once the subject was broached, Ben Kaplan pursued the idea by writing to University officials and inquiring about his Status. The result was that Ben Kaplan was enrolled in a specially-designed English course under Dr. Sidney Coulling, head of the department of English. What made the course special, in addition to the student enrolled in it, was that it lopped off the last 40 years of English literature. ‘*What I attempted to do,’’ explained Coulling, ‘‘was to organize the course so that it would be as close to the course Dr. Kaplan would have taken here in the 1940s as it would possibly be.”’ ‘‘My course went up through Matthew Arnold,’’ added Kaplan. ‘‘That’s where it ended in my day.”’ Dr. Coulling devised a syllabus with appropriate reading assignments. And, with that syllabus in hand, Dr. Kaplan stepped back in time and became an undergraduate again. It wasn’t easy, either. ‘‘T must say I worked very hard,’’ Ben Kaplan said. “‘In medicine, I can read the materials and readily identify what I’m reading with a patient. This reading was entirely different. It involved abstractions and required a lot of patience and perseverance. ’’ For one thing, Kaplan had to exhibit a great deal of perseverance simply to come home from long days at the office, the hospital, or the classroom and sit down with Norton’s Anthology. ‘‘T admire him a great deal just for that,”’ said Coulling. ‘‘I have often asked myself if I were in a similar situation whether I could have exhibited the same enthusiasm and drive that Dr. Kaplan exhibited.”’ Early on, Ben Kaplan discovered that he would require some assistance along the way. He received considerable tutorial help from a Northwestern doctoral candidate. He supplemented his reading by going to the library and obtaining recordings of some of the literature. ‘‘That made a world of difference,’’ Kaplan said. ‘‘I got a much better feeling for what the writers were trying to say.”’ Kaplan went so far as to cut out color paper figures so that he could keep the characters straight in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. ‘‘I saw the Chaucer figures and laughed,’’ said Jim. ‘‘But that’s typical. When Dad sets out to do something, he does it.”’ ‘‘T received a great deal of encouragement and support from Jim and from my wife and daughter, both of whom were English majors,’’ Dr. Kaplan explained. And along the way, he gained greater appreciation than he ever thought he would—or could—for the literature he was reading. Most of it, at least. ‘*T couldn’t stand John Donne,’’ Dr. Kaplan confessed. ‘‘And reading Edmund Spenser was like pulling teeth. The first time I read a Shakespeare sonnet, I was lost. My wife will attest to the fact that I did lots of yelling and screaming about not being able to understand some of those things. ‘‘But eventually I discovered what Shakespeare’s sonnets were all about and began to appreciate them. And I loved Wordsworth and Swift and Tennyson and Chaucer. My favorite was Ruskin. ‘*You know, it’s not a bad idea to read these things at my stage of the game. I’ve experienced a lot of things, a lot more than | would have experienced had I read the material as a college sophomore. It gave me a new perspective. And it made me want to keep reading.”’ Coulling agreed that Kaplan’s background provided him with an unusual perspective on the material. ‘‘The maturity of his responses was particularly evident,’’ said Coulling. ‘‘It was interesting from my point of view to see the difference in his response to these works from the responses of college students. His reaction to the doctor in Canterbury Tales was particularly interesting.’’ Coulling created two examinations to test Kaplan’s grasp of the material. And Kaplan aced both exams! His two A’s in English 151- 152 meant Kaplan received his degree magna cum laude. And the fact that he already has a medical degree meant Kaplan was the only member of the Class of 1982 wearing a green hood with his cap and gown during the ceremonies. ‘‘T was very happy and very proud to have Dad graduate with me,’’ said Jim. So were all the Kaplans. In addition to the immediate family, all four of Kaplan’s brothers—Joseph, ’28; Murrell, ’30; Robert, 33; and, Martin, ’36—were in attendance. ‘*This was Jim’s commencement,’’ Dr. Kaplan explained. ‘‘I didn’t want to detract from that. I came back to pick up my diploma. Jim is the one who was graduated today.’’ The Chapmans A Mother and Son Receive Law Degrees Together Christine Chapman, the mother of five children and a 1982 graduate of the Washington and Lee School of Law, offers a bit of advice for parents contemplating law school. Says Mrs. Chapman: “‘If you have to be both a law student and a parent, the best way is to take your oldest son along with you.”’ Mrs. Chapman knows whereof she speaks. When she marched up to receive her diploma in May, her son, James Chapman IV, was but a few short steps behind her as the Chapmans became the first mother-son combination ever to receive their juris doctor degrees together from the School of Law. In truth, the Chapmans’ presence in the law school Class of 1982 was a pure coincidence—but a happy one, too. Mrs. Chapman started her studies late in life. She received her bachelor’s degree from Fitchburg State in 1978 when the fifth of her five children was still in junior high school. Meantime, her eldest son, Jim, was receiving his bachelor’s degree from Virginia Tech the same year. Both planned careers in law, and both had been looking at a number of law schools. Independently, they both chose W&L. ‘‘It was,’’ explained Jim, ‘a little bit of a surprise when I told Mom I was coming to W&L and she told me she was coming here too.”’ The two Chapmans never even considered that their presence in the same law school class would be awkward for them. ‘*Actually, it seemed rather natural for me since I’d had classes with my children in the past,’’ said Mrs. Chapman. ‘‘Jim and I had one class together at Fitchburg State before he transferred to Virginia Tech. And I had a class with one of my daughters there, too. ‘*T didn’t envision any problems in law school.’’ In fact, added Jim, the arrangement was more advantageous than it was awkward, especially when it came to finding a roommate with whom to share the trials and tribulations of the first year in law school. Who better than Mom? ‘‘Mom and I lived together our first year,’’ said Jim. ‘‘Having a roommate all lined up made things easy. I thought it was 6 Mrs. James Chapman (left) is followed to the podium by her son, James L. Chapman IV, (right) during the law school commencement. particularly advantageous for me to go to school with my mother. ‘*That first year is a traumatic experience, so it’s nice to have somebody to lean on, especially if it’s someone you’re close to.”’ ‘“Gee,’’ said Mrs. chapman, ‘‘and here I thought I was leaning on him the first year.’’ Whoever was leaning on whomever, the arrangement worked. ‘*T had very grave doubts about whether I wanted all this pain several times during that first year,’’ Mrs. Chapman explained. ‘‘Jim kept encouraging me to stay.”’ ‘*And vice versa,’”’ added Jim. ‘‘We did a lot of commiserating.’”’ Meantime, the Chapmans’ relationship was not even an issue among their classmates that first year. ‘*You’d be surprised,’’ said Jim. ‘‘For the longest period of time, nobody knew Mom and I were related. We had come from different schools. Chapman is a fairly common name. It didn’t really register on people. ‘‘And the people who did know, their reaction varied from ‘Oh, that’s wonderful!’ to ‘That’s really amazing!’ ”’ Wonderful? Maybe. Amazing? Mrs. Chapman thinks not. ‘‘T’ve had people tell me, ‘I couldn’t go to school with one of my children,’ ’’ she said. ‘‘I think they could, though, if they were put up to it. ‘Maybe my case is a little different, though. Going to school as late as I did, it’s been natural for me to be around people Jimmy’s age and to treat them and be treated by them as peers. I’m delighted they have been so acceptable of me.”’ Nor does Jim Chapman believe the situation could be characterized as amazing. ‘‘Our relationship here at law school has not been that much different from when we were growing up,’’ he said. ‘‘Mom has always encouraged all of us to get as much education as possible and never to settle for second best. It was perfectly natural for me to go to school with Mom because she’s been SO interested in our education and in broadening our horizons.”’ ‘“You mean all those museums I dragged you through meant something?’ Mrs. Chapman interjected with a broad smile. If the situation were strained for anyone, it might have been for those members of the Chapman family who were not in law school The Chapman Family gathers for a post-graduation photograph: (from left) Paul, Edward, Christine, James IV, Becky, Donna, and James III. at W&L but were back home in Charlottesville. Both Mrs. Chapman and Jim insist the rest of the family was nothing but supportive. ‘‘The first year I left my husband with two teenage boys at home—one a high school senior, one a junior,’’ Mrs. Chapman said. “‘I think that was a bit rough for him to adjust to. Then Paul went off to college last year and Ted this year. So he’s been alone this year, and I don’t think he minded that too much. My family has been behind me 100 percent.”’ Mrs. Chapman decided to return to school once her children had been raised because ‘‘I felt I just didn’t want to sit back and do needlepoint and play golf the rest of my life. I don’t think I would have been content to stay at home, although I was a stay-at-home housewife all the time the children were growing up.”’ Still, she does admit there were more than a few moments her first year at W&L when she thought perhaps needlepoint and golf might not be so bad after all. ‘‘For me, law school was like being dropped into a strange culture where I didn’t know the language or the customs and had to learn everything from scratch,’’ she said. ‘‘I don’t think it was the age difference. And it wasn’t just being away from home, although that was difficult for me. It was just law school. ‘'T consider law school a series of hurdles. Either you get used to jumping them or they get smaller. I’m not sure which.”’ One thing Mrs. Chapman did was become involved in virtually every aspect of law school life. ‘‘I did not want to stay aloof from things. I wanted to be part of the class,’’ she said. And she was very much a part of the class, participating in the Legal Aid Society, the Legal Research Association, the Tucker Law Forum and serving as treasurer of the Student Bar Association. Perhaps the Chapmans’ greatest thrill— next to receiving their diplomas together, that is—came in January when Mrs. Chapman was tapped into W&L’s Alpha Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa. Jim Chapman had been tapped into the Virginia Tech circle of the national leadership fraternity as an undergraduate. ‘‘T was particularly delighted because the group that does the choosing is Jim’s age,”’ she said. Following their graduation, the Chapmans went in different directions—Mrs. Chapman to a law firm in Charlottesville and Jim to the Army’s JAG corps. Will they ever be reunited as law partners in the future? ‘“Well,”’ said Jim, “‘it’s always been sort of a passing thought.”’ Graduating Sons and Daughters of Alumni Alumni fathers of law graduates sit in front of their sons and daughters (standing at left) Allen Thomas Snyder Jr., Allen T.

Powell Jr. , 29, addresses the gathering at Lee Chapel during a ceremony to celebrate the successful completion of Washington and Lee’s development program. Development Celebration Professorship Honors Huntley; Another Established; Commerce School Building Dedicated On a weekend that had been set aside for Washington and Lee to celebrate the resounding success of its historic development program, there proved to be more to celebrate than anyone realized. The University invited its most generous benefactors to the campus in mid-May to help celebrate the events of the past 10 years during which Washington and Lee raised $67 million. Midway through the formal celebration ceremony in Lee Chapel, James M. Ballengee, Rector of the Board of Trustees, made two dramatic announcements. First, Ballengee told the gathering, which included the Trustees, that the University had just established two new endowed professorships, one of which will be named in honor of W&L President Robert E. R. Huntley. And secondly, Ballengee announced that in the six months since the development program officially ended in December, the University had already received an additional $2 million in new capital and endowment gifts. Clearly, the ball was—and is—still rolling. As Huntley said during his brief remarks, it was “‘an occasion for rejoicing not just because, not even primarily because, of those things that lie behind us. But I think it is an occasion for rejoicing because of the strong hope all of us share for the future of this school.”’ Huntley added that ‘‘the immediate future, the next decade ahead of the school, will require principal emphasis on increasing the already significant margin of excellence which Washington and Lee enjoys over most other educational institutions with which I am familiar. ‘‘T believe this is the best school in America,’’ he continued. ‘‘I want to make Justice Powell at the podium certain everybody else believes that. And second, I want to make sure it’s true.’’ Huntley said he believes Washington and Lee is ‘‘on the threshold of achieving a new and even higher level of excellence. .. .”’ And, he added, ‘‘It’s a good thing we are because in my judgment only those institutions which achieve such an increased margin of excellence will survive with vitality in the years ahead. This school has always risen to its challenges. I have no doubt it will rise to that challenge.’’ Huntley was preceded at the podium by one of the University’s most illustrous graduates, Justice Lewis Powell, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court and a Trustee Emeritus. Said Justice Powell: ‘‘The justification for Washington and Lee’s existence, and for the confidence in its future that inspired enormous generosity of people who benefitted our University, is the quality of the educational opportunity it affords.’’ Justice Powell underscored several factors that he feels contribute to an environment that is favorable to academic quality. One of those factors, he said, is the University’s location in Lexington where ‘‘the absence of urban distractions and the beauty of the Valley of Virginia are compatible with emphasis on intellectual and reflective pursuits.”’ Further Justice Powell cited the school’s size as ‘‘a distinct plus.’’ ‘Few universities of distinction have a better pupil/faculty ratio. And certainly few afford a comparable opportunity for personal relationships between students and faculty.”’ Confessing that he may ‘‘invite dissent’’ by suggesting that the all-male student body is an asset, Justice Powell said: ‘‘It seems to me that Washington and Lee can afford to offer a choice. This has merit in light of the fact that this country of ours over its long life has always had a tradition of diversity. And I think we make a contribution to that by adhering to the tradition of an all-male college.’’ The single most favorable factor, Justice Powell added, ‘‘is W&L’s national reputation as a first-rate liberal arts university. . . . And happily, this reputation has attracted an unusually strong faculty. I think it will continue to do so.’’ Turning to the School of Law, Justice Powell said he is glad that it “‘has not joined the rush toward over-emphasis on clinical training. That sort of training often takes place at the expense of traditional courses. I still believe in the Langdale tradition that law is an academic discipline, and that its mysteries are best revealed through the rigorous analysis of appellate decisions. The 10 James M. Ballengee, the Rector President Robert E. R. Huntley at the Commerce School Dedication. precious years of law school are the last Opportunity most lawyers have for this sort of demanding indoctrination—a method of teaching the history, the great principles, and the mode of principal analysis that best prepare one to be a lawyer.”’ Ballengee’s announcement of the new professorships served as a fitting climax to the proceedings. BLE The Benefactors’ Wall is unveiled. John P. Fishwick, former president of the Norfolk and Western Railway Company, and Farris P. Hotchkiss, W&L’s director of development. The Robert E. R. Huntley Professorship in Law was created to honor Huntley’s presidency and his many contributions to the University. In establishing the professorship, the Trustees designated unrestricted endowment funds which the University received during the development program.

Ballengee said the Trustees considered the professorships ‘‘one small expression of appreciation for the 14 years of Mr. Huntley’s presidency during which so much has been accomplished in so many important areas. The Board of Trustees felt there could be no more appropriate honor for Bob.’’ The other new professorship announced Trustee S L Kopald with University librarian Maurice D. Leach Jr. (right) ee a Guests arriving at the Warner Center during the celebration ceremony is the Lillian and Rupert Radford Professorship in Mathematics. The Radford Professorship was created as the result of a $750,000 gift from the estate of Rupert Radford of Houston, Texas. Radford was president of Jno. S. Radford & Sons, a company which owned and operated a textile mill in Houston. Ballengee called the establishment of the Radford Professorship ‘‘an important reminder that although the University has accomplished a great deal during the 10 years of the development program, it is vital that the momentum from that success be maintained.’”’ In addition, Ballengee unveiled an artist’s rendering of the Benefactors’ Wall for Washington Hall. The Benefactors’ Wall will soon be erected in the lobby of Washington Hall and will list the names of those benefactors of the University whose gifts have been of $1 million or more. The weekend of celebration included a festive dinner-dance in the Warner Center and concluded with dedication ceremonies for the Commerce School Building, the recently-renovated home of W&L’s School of Commerce, Economics, and Politics. John P. Fishwick, former president of the Norfolk and Western Railway Company, was the principal speaker for the Commerce School Building dedication. In his remarks, Fishwick referred to Washington and Lee’s long-standing commitment to a liberal arts education. ‘“The main reason the [commerce] school has been worthy of support is that it is not what one might call simply a trade school,”’ Fishwick said during the ceremonies held on the steps in front of the building which was formerly the University’s undergraduate library. ‘‘It is built on the foundation that it recognizes that beyond the training and the jargon of any particular business or profession, there is an underlying requirement that men be educated to be civilized people . . . people who have explored the liberal arts and who realize that men everywhere seek to know what it means to be a human being.”’ Noting that about 25 percent of the funds used to remodel the Commerce School Building came from American businesses, Fishwick observed that ‘“business has to recognize that no institution survives without public support and acceptance. It has to do more than just make a profit in order to meet the public’s criteria. But it also must realize that if it goes too far and infringes upon the legitimate concerns of government, it also runs into great trouble. ‘*The corporation today has a very difficult task of determining how much and into what areas it should make contributions,’’ Fishwick added. ‘‘Whether the American corporation responds intelligently to requests such as these and to all the other requests it has on it to fulfill social responsibility will, I think, determine not the welfare of those institutions [to which it contributes] so much or the mere welfare of those corporations, it may well determine the survival of the corporations.”’ I | Reunions, ’S2 Dobyns Speaks; Tribute to Huntley; Riegel Honored; Three Alumni Recognized A provocative speech by NBC News correspondent Lloyd Dobyns, a tribute to President Robert E. R. Huntley, a dedication ceremony in honor of former journalism professor O. W. Riegel, and awards to three of the University’s most distinguished alumni—those were the highlights of Washington and Lee’s annual Alumni Reunion weekend in May. Dobyns, a 1957 graduate, served two purposes when he returned to the campus. On the one hand, he was the keynote speaker for the weekend and provided some insightful comments in that role. On the other hand, he was participating in his 25th class reunion. ‘*It is more than flattering to be asked to speak at your 25th college class reunion,”’ said Dobyns. ‘‘The flattery is such that you say ‘Yes’ before you realize that you have nothing of value to say. ‘*That realization forces you to think about what has happened in those 25 years and to realize that whatever has occurred, you have helped to cause it. It is not a thought, considering the past 25 years, you want to spend too much time with.’’ Dobyns, who has been named co-anchor for NBC’s new overnight news program that will begin at 1:30 a.m. and last one hour, told his fellow alumni that ‘‘the problems of establishing a working educational system that meets today’s and tomorrow’s needs are . . . horrendous.”’ Citing the explosion that has occurred in communications and technology over the past 46 years, Dobyns suggested that 25 years from now there will be ‘‘technological changes that no one here this evening can imagine. If you can accept that, then you must accept this: In those 26 or fewer years, the pressures on educational institutions will become almost unbearable. ‘‘The need for trained manpower will become the most important economic concern we have. The need for continuing education on several levels will be compelling.”’ Dobyns said that the changes necessary for education to keep pace will be made ‘‘only by those who have been taught how to learn, people who have been educated well enough to know that as things change, they are no longer well educated.’’ Rejecting the argument made by some that 12 G. Russell Ladd, ’57, of Mobile, Ala., the new president of the W&L Alumni is flanked by outgoing president James F.. Gallivan, ’51, of Nashville (left) and new vice president Edgar M. Boyd, ’42, of Baltimore. education should “*become a junior partner of industry’’ in the future, Dobyns said: ‘‘To train someone only to work does not train him to learn. And if he cannot learn, how will he keep up as demand changes?”’ Even a perfect educational system, Dobyns argued, would not cause the economic problems the country now faces to go away. But, he added, ‘‘if education does not improve, then nothing else we do will solve the problem. Education is not the solution, but there is no solution without education.”’ Dobyns’ keynote speech opened the weekend on Thursday evening. The next day was reserved for campus tours, panel discussions with members of the faculty and administration, and, of course, reminiscing. One of the major events of the weekend took place Friday afternoon when the University’s broadcast facilities were formally dedicated as the O. W. Riegel Telecommunications Laboratories. The ceremonies honoring Riegel, who taught journalism from 1930 until his retirement in 1973 and was head of the department for 34 of those years, took place in Reid Hall and included remarks by current chairman of the journalism department Ronald H. MacDonald, President Robert E. R. Huntley, and Riegel with introductions by journalism professor Robert J. de Maria. The facilities dedicated as the Riegel Telecommunications Laboratories consist of fully equipped studios for WLUR-FM, the 175-watt campus radio station, and Cable Nine, the University television station that cablecasts over the Lexington Cable System. The annual Alumni Meeting on Saturday morning climaxed in a tribute to President Huntley who announced in February that he will retire at the end of 1982. James F. Gallivan, who completed his one-year term as president of W&L Alumni Inc. in May, presented the tribute on behalf of the alumni. His presentation centered on excerpts from letters written to Huntley by past presidents of the alumni board and current presidents of alumni chapters. The letters expressed a variety of sentiments but were unanimous in the appreciation of Huntley as both an administrator and, as one writer emphasized, a friend: ‘‘[Bob] knew us, he talked with us, he entertained us and he made us appreciate even more our university.’’ One other writer put matters in perspective by calling Huntley ‘‘just another Delta Tau Delta in white bucks, destined for great things.”’ In addition to the tribute to Huntley, the annual meeting included the presentation of Distinguished Alumnus Awards to award- winning journalist Parke Rouse Jr., 37, of Williamsburg, Va., attorney James D. Sparks Sr., ’°32L, of Monroe, La., and businessman Arch Sproul III, ’37, of Staunton, Va. The citation presented to Rouse noted that he ‘‘has written about his alma mater for national publications and has, by his testimony as well as his achievements, presented Washington and Lee’s strengths to the world.’’ Rouse was reporter and editor for the Newport News Daily Press and the Richmond Times-Dispatch, a former director of public relations for the Virginia Chamber of Commerce, and former executive director of the Jamestown- Yorktown Foundation.

New council members are Mark B. Davis Jr., ’58L, of Louisville, Ky.; Judge William H. Oast Jr., >50L, of Portsmouth, Va.; and, Jeffrey L. Willis, ’75L, of Phoenix, Ariz. Following the annual meeting of the Alumni Association, Benjamin Aaron, professor of law at the UCLA School of Law, delivered the 34th annual John Randolph Tucker lecture in the law school. Aaron’s lecture was entitled ‘‘Labor 14 Relations Law in the United States from a Comparative Perspective.”’ Before the reunion participants adjourned for an evening of class dinners and more As always, reunions meant good fellowship and fond memories. reminiscing, Washington and Lee’s lacrosse team provided the alumni with a treat as the Generals pounded visiting Hofstra 19-10 on Wilson Field.

On the one hand a federal maximum security prison for women, and on the other a small private school for men. Actually, the Alderson Prison Legal Assistance Program is run by W&L’s coeducational Law School. Yet most of the 16 students working in the program this year are male—future attorneys not yet quite comfortable in coat and tie, young men who, after the 100-mile drive to Alderson each week, encounter a world vastly different from their own. On the one hand, a population consisting largely of inner-city blacks and Hispanics, repeat offenders who have reached the end of the line in the federal penal system. On the other hand, the privileged children of good homes on the right side of the tracks, earnest, hard- working white kids whose academic successes and high ambitions have qualified them for the study of law. On one side winners, on the other losers. In the little rooms at Alderson Prison where they come together for consultation, you can see it in their faces. The bright, inquisitive aspects of the law students furrow to fine points of legal procedure, while the bland expressions of the inmates open only to a weary fretfulness, and then only momentarily. The long stretch of time at Alderson wears down both anger and hope. In his half hour, the law student can sharpen these emotions briefly in order to get to the heart of a legal problem, but the feelings on opposite sides of the table are different. One person is busy, and the other isn’t going anywhere. It is a matter of different clocks and calendars, different lives. Yet these are merely first impressions, and those of an ‘‘outsider,’’ of one so mystified by the presence of Washington and Lee in a setting so remote from its usual concerns that he is caught by the differences between the communities. Actually, the Federal Correctional Institution at Alderson is, in the world of maximum security prisons, a model facility. And Washington and Lee’s Legal Assistance Program is but one of many programs that help to make Alderson *‘a prison that works.”’ Located in the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains along the banks of the Greenbrier River, Alderson can be mistaken at first sight 16 Guy Harbert, student director of the legal assistance program, and client for a college campus. There are no walls, lined common. Most of the 550 inmates bars, or barbed wire. Tidy, traditional red- range in age from 22 to 29. The dress is brick dormitories surround a broad, tree- coed-casual—blue jeans and corduroys have replaced prison uniforms. Nearly all of the women have private rooms, decorated as they choose, and all of the dorms have TVs and game rooms. But Alderson is much quieter than a college campus, for during the day most of the residents are hard at work. The activities are, nonetheless, surprisingly varied. There are over 150 employment and counseling programs, ranging from the manufacture of parachutes for the U.S. Weather Service in one of the prison factories to college degree programs. The Alderson Legal Assistance Program is one of the several educational services provided voluntarily by outside schools and agencies. The inmates, therefore, do not lack for things to do nor for people willing to help them prepare for re- entry into society. ‘*Still, our primary purpose is not to rehabilitate the prisoner,’’ says David Hellman, assistant to the warden at Alderson. “‘If that happens along the way, fine. There’s certainly lots of opportunity for it. But these women have been convicted of committing crimes, and our court system has determined that they should be punished. That’s why they’re here. We shouldn’t forget that.”’ Hellman’s boss is Warden G. H. Sizer— Mrs. Gwen Sizer. A handsome black woman of imposing stature and self-command, she sits behind an enormous desk in the prison’s Administration Building. Everything in her office, including its occupant, seems one- and-a-half times normal size and firmly in place. She is the woman for the job. ‘*We have been pleased with the assistance Washington and Lee has offered our institution over the years.’’ The mode is imperial until she warms to some reflection on specific benefits of the program to the prison itself. ‘“The Legal Assistance Program is helpful to individual prisoners, of course, but it also helps us to understand some of their problems here. It’s another line of communication.”’ Each Thursday morning, a team of three W2&L law students arrives at Alderson. After checking in at the Visitor’s Center, they troop with their briefcases down along the row of dorms (‘‘cottages,’’ as they’re called), past a woman with a broom or rake Lucinda Harrison: ‘‘a matter of education’ pulling yard duty for that day, toward the Administration Building, where the consultations with the inmates are held. Each law student interviews several women during his half-day visit. The concerns range from in-house matters, like proper “‘good-time’’ credit for job performance, to such major appeals as a motion for a new trial or a parole date. ‘‘A lot of the problems that we deal with are matters that the prisoners’ attorneys should have handled,’’ says Lucinda Harrison, a third-year law student who served as program director for 1981-82. ‘*Simple things like a motion for a sentence reduction. Such an action should be standard procedure in all cases. But, after a defendant is convicted and a sentence handed down, often an attorney simply abandons his client. There should be more follow-up. The judicial process does not simply end once a client enters prison.”’ Lucinda, a delicately slender young woman whose bright self-assuredness belies her fragile appearance, adds after a moment’s thought, ‘“‘That may be a reflection on the way we pay court-appointed attorneys. But it may also be a matter of education. A lot of attorneys—and a lot of judges, for that matter—simply don’t know what the prison system is like or how the parole board operates.’’ The law students in the Alderson Photographs by Sally Mann program, of course, learn these matters first hand, and such education is a major benefit of the experience. One of three options second- and third-year students have for on- the-job training, the Alderson program offers future attorneys some valuable lessons in how the legal system functions, and, perhaps most vividly, how people function within the system. One of the special advantages of the program is that, at the nether side—at the veritable foot—of justice, it provides students with a close study of truth or consequences. There are certain personal advantages as well. Harrison elaborates: *‘Like many law students, I had some questions as to how I could handle working with a client whom I knew to be guilty. I guess I’ve learned that the guilty are, after all, people who need help. The fact that they’re guilty just alters the way I work within the system.’’ Without blinking, Harrison enunciates her own special sense of mission, ** You want to help them. The fact that they’re in prison just creates another difficulty that you have to work with. But they’re in trouble and they need help.’’ What kind of women are they, generally? ‘“Weak, in many cases, sometimes pathetic perhaps. A lot of women are there because they went along with their boyfriends or husbands. They knew they were doing something that wasn’t quite right, but they never realized how wrong it was until they got in just enough to get sunk with the others. ‘*Some of the inmates are really very nice. You wonder how they ever wound up there. Some are younger even than we are. You think they’ve got nothing going for them. Then again, there are some who have master’s degrees and others who are wealthier than I ever expect to be. ‘*Then there are the characters. Last Summer we had one who wanted us to help her overturn her conviction. She claimed that God had told her to deal in drugs. She had never had any problems before she became a Christian!”’ What is the work like? Harrison bows, as though she were acknowledging her listener’s impending disappointment: ** Very undramatic, slow, even tedious at times. This is not Perry Mason pulling a surprise 17 W&L’s Alderson Prison Program witness out of his pocket kind of work. It’s letters, research, and more letters, and an occasional appeal that gets heard. But that’s what the law is like.’’ The legal battles, then, are not exactly pitched. Working through their advisor, Professor Wilfred J. Ritz, the students operate mainly as intermediaries between the inmates and various parole commissions, attorneys, courts, and, occasionally, the administration of the prison itself. Last year, the students conducted over 300 interviews: one fifth of the inmate population used the service. When asked to describe her most satisfying case, Harrison bows again, then brightens: ‘‘It involved restoring an inmate’s credit rating. It took a full year, but it worked out all right.’’ But isn’t a convicted criminal automatically a poor credit risk? ‘‘Not necessarily. After all, a thief may have stolen in order to pay her bills. For a lot of inmates, a credit rating will be all they have when they get out.”’ Just so. Lucinda smiles, her pockets full of good arguments. Guy Harbert will serve as student director of the program in 1982-83. Harbert has been 18 The Federal Correctional Facility at Alderson: prison as campus a workhorse in the program this year and will serve as the sole student counsel during the law school’s summer recess. He agrees that the program exacts a kind of plodding diligence from the students. ‘‘Law students first complain that the program doesn’t allow them to do enough. A lot of what we do is administrative, in-house work. We even had a woman who came in and complained that her roof was leaking.’’ For Alderson itself, Harbert has generally very high praise, despite the occasional leaky roof: ‘‘If there is a prison that does anything about rehabilitation, Alderson is the one. Given its numerous programs and activities, and the general atmosphere of the place, it’s a model prison. There should be more like it.”’ Harbert reserves his frustration for those outside the prison boundaries. He admits to being frequently disappointed with the various parole boards governing prisoner release. ‘‘T used to think that a system whereby people would determine the length of an inmate’s stay on the basis of her behavior and rehabilitation was great. But most of the time it doesn’t work that way. Parole becomes a matter of numbers. A prisoner is assigned a number when she arrives and the sentence is computed mathematically. A computer could do the same job. The parole commission often simply doesn’t listen to the recommendations and expectations of the judge when it comes to an indeterminate sentence.”’ Harbert offers a minor disquisition on the parole system, its merits and demerits. Both he and Harrison agree that the major problem they face in working on behalf of the inmates is an indifference within the system, a heedlessness that seems at times intransigent. One of nine inmates assigned to Harbert on the day of his visit, Gloria Stevenson is in many ways typical of Alderson’s population. A black woman in her mid-twenties from a major Southern city, she is in her third term at Alderson for mail theft. Her particular legal problem is in no way exceptional. She is wondering whether she will have to serve a five-year Louisiana sentence once she completes her federal term, or whether her time at Alderson will be credited against her debt to the state. In the meantime, neither her court-appointed attorney nor the clerk of the Louisiana court has informed her of her legal obligations. Guy Harbert, working under the guidance of Professor Ritz, will help her learn of her status. In the meantime, Ms. Stevenson is grateful, though somewhat languid in her expression: “‘I feel better that someone else is working on it besides me because I get kinda tired sweating it out all by myself.’’ Harbert appears unaffected by the pathos of Stevenson’s predicament: that of an unmarried mother of five who can’t keep her hands off other people’s mail. What concerns him most is that, here again, communication has broken down between the judicial system and his client. He tackles the issue with the zeal of a problem-solver, while Ms. Stevenson, stolid, her head in her hands, trails off, ‘‘I’m just trying to get it all together ’cause I’m tired.’’ Harbert’s most immediate model of patient determination is probably Bill Ritz (W&L, °38), the W&L law professor who has served as director of the program since its inception. It is Ritz who reviews all of the cases, advises the students on the proper course of action, and signs all the letters. As Typical ‘‘accommodations’’ in a prison without bars ~ attorney, Ritz is the only one empowered to offer legal advice to the inmates and to act on their behalf. Ritz spends most of his Fridays discussing with the individual law students the results of the interviews at Alderson on the day before. Normally, Ritz reviews about 25 cases weekly. Last year 168 cases, ranging from parole to bankruptcy and institutional transfer, were opened and closed. Ritz does it all with something akin to love. It is expressed by his thoroughness in handling individual cases, by his long devotion to the overall program, and, indeed like love, by a certain difficulty he has in describing its particular satisfaction. When asked why he has spent so much of his time and energy in the program over its twelve- year history, he leans back in his chair, smiles, looks out the window, fidgets, smiles again, and then allows, ‘‘I have found this an Professor Wilfred Ritz and Harbert: good-humored determinatio n. extremely interesting program.”’ Yes, well, how so? Lawyers discuss their pleasures in the manner of chess players: very little commentary on the general cause, total absorption in the recapitulation of specific moves. Professor Ritz touches briefly on the variety of legal problems and personalities that he has met in the Alderson program. Then he settles comfortably into an illustration—a vast, epic tale involving two Columbian sisters convicted (wrongfully, perhaps) of conspiracy to import narcotics. While serving their terms at Alderson, the women had contacted the Legal Assistance Program in an effort to avoid automatic deportation once their sentences were up. The women consistently maintained their ignorance of the contraband contained in the two suitcases that they had been told to pick up at the airport by their mother, still in Columbia. Arrested, tried, and convicted, the women feared being forced to return to Columbia—and to a parent of questionable character. So begins a long, complex narrative chronicling the efforts of the Legal Assistance Program on behalf of the two women. After months of correspondence, research, appeals, and general wrangling with the Immigration Authority (Ritz even cut a vacation short), the efforts proved successful. The women, now married with children, are today leading productive lives in America after paying a somewhat dubious debt to their new country. Ritz takes a similar degree of interest in all of the cases he handles, and he expects the same degree of commitment from the students working in the program. “‘I think that this is something that any respectable lawyer has to do. Many of the legal problems we encounter are very complicated.’’ Ritz pauses, smiles again, and tenders a mild complaint: ‘‘I do have a feeling that judges and lawyers and those who are not involved in this sort of thing tend to think that prison work is easy, that there’s really nothing to it compared to big antitrust cases. Of course, one difference is that we have to do our work without benefit of influential legal contacts and highly paid professional assistance.”’ The Alderson Legal Assistance Program began in 1970. Former Supreme Court Justice Tom Clark, then head of the Federal Judicial Center, contacted Roy L. Steinheimer Jr., Dean of the Law School, about the possibility of forming such a program at W&L. Clark had learned through the Bureau of Prisons that such programs existed elsewhere in the country. Alderson Prison, to which W&L was the closest law school, had no such service. Steinheimer acted, appointing Bill Ritz, who had been teaching criminal law and domestic relations, to direct the program. Clark sent a check for $1,500 from the Judicial Center to supplement the program’s initial funding. So Washington and Lee went to prison, bringing its best traditions of honor and service, and, for the effort, bettering itself and its students. Washington and Lee at Alderson: on her mother’s side of the family, Lucinda Harrison is a Custis. 19 & Gazette W&L Business Team wins Emory Games A team of students from Washington and Lee University’s School of Commerce, Economics and Politics won top honors in the 1982 Intercollegiate Business Games in Atlanta, Ga., in February. Washington and Lee’s team was composed of Andy Gottschalk of Lake Forest, Ill.; John Monroe of New Orleans, La.; Brian Noonan of Charlotte, N.C.; and, Bob Wittpenn of Glen Ridge, N.J. All are seniors. Dr. Joseph Goldsten, professor of administration at W&L, served as faculty adviser to the team. The Intercollegiate Business Games are sponsored annually by the Graduate Business Association of the Graduate School of Business Administration at Emory University in Atlanta. Washington and Lee was one of 24 colleges and universities participating in the games, which began in early January when the W&L team took over a hypothetical firm and attempted to improve that firm’s profitability. ‘We became the management of a firm we called ‘Lee Labs.’ Our firm produced aspirin and an aspirin product with codeine,”’ Wittpenn explained. ‘‘Qur task in the games was to take this hypothetical company, which had been standing still because of poor management, and create, then implement, a strategy that would turn that company around.’’ By using a computer terminal on the W&L campus that was tied directly into a central computer at Emory, the W&L team made a series of decisions each week as it guided the company through three years of its development in two months time. ‘In establishing our strategy, we had to take numerous variables into consideration, including the current business climate and forecasts of the future economic situation,”’ said Monroe. Once the decisions were analyzed by the central computer at Emory, the W&L team received an industry report that indicated how their decisions had affected the firm based on other variables in the economy. 20 Washington and Lee’ s victorious team in the Emory Intercollegiate Business Games was composed of (from left) Andy Gottschalk, John Monroe, Bob Wittpenn, and Brian Noonan. After all the weekly decisions had been made and Lee Labs was thriving, the W&L team joined its competitors for two final days of competition in Atlanta where all the teams were required to make presentations before panels of judges. The judges included members of the Emory faculty, graduate business students at Emory, and representatives of industry. ‘*The competition held in Atlanta was about 50 percent of the entire game,”’ explained Wittpenn. ‘‘It was a real pressure- cooker. ‘‘On the first day of the Atlanta competition, we were given a case in which we had the option of acquiring a new firm. We had three hours in which to go over all the figures and decide whether it would be in our firm’s best interests to acquire the new firm. Once we had made our decision, we had to present the decision to the panel of judges, who were acting essentially like our board of directors.”’ The second day produced even more pressure, said Monroe. ‘*This time we were given a case in which we had the option on a new product— whether we wanted to manufacture it, market it, license it, whatever,’’ Monroe explained. ‘“We had 30 minutes in which to make our decision and justify the decision for the judges. ‘“Because we worked so well together, we each tackled a different task in those 30 minutes and managed to make everything come together for the presentation. ‘“We wound up buying a new firm for $19.5 million and investing $5 million in a new product—all in just two days.’’ Those two days also produced the championship trophy—Washington and Lee’s second in the competition. W&L’s team won the trophy in 1977. Faculty promotions Promotions in academic rank have been announced for seven members of the Washington and Lee University faculty. Two faculty members have been promoted from associate professor to full professor. They are Dr. Lewis G. John (politics) and Dr. Robert L. Wilson Jr. (mathematics). Promoted to associate professor from assistant are Samuel W. Calhoun (law), Dr. Barry F. Machado (history), Dr. David R. Novack (sociology), and Dr. Ronald L. Reese (physics). Promoted to assistant professor from instructor is Rolf G. Piranian (physical education). | The promotions, which become effective September |, were approved by Washington and Lee’s board of trustees during its spring meeting in Lexington earlier this month. John, who also serves as dean of students at W&L, joined the University in 1963 as assistant dean of students and director of financial aid. He received his Ph.D. from Syracuse University in 1973 and teaches in the areas of American government and public administration. Wilson received both his master’s degree and Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin where he was an assistant professor of mathematics before joining the Washington and Lee faculty in 1975. His research interests include algebra, group generalizations, and applications of computers in mathematics. Calhoun, who received the juris doctor degree from the University of Georgia School of Law in 1974, joined the Washington and Lee law school faculty in 1978 after serving previously on the law faculties of the University of Wyoming and the University of Puget Sound.

Spanish prints exhibited in duPont One of the highlights of the year’s series of shows in Washington and Lee’s duPont Gallery was an exhibition of contemporary Spanish prints that was displayed during March. Composed of two prints each by 30 Spanish artists, the show was organized as a traveling exhibition by Madrid art dealer Carmen Gimenez and Madrid-based art critic Everett Rice, a 1960 graduate of W&L. Rice visited the campus during the exhibition and presented a lecture. An art history major at W&L, Rice first went to Spain 20 years ago. ‘‘I went to spend a year studying Spanish and wound up living there the past 18 years,’’ explained Rice. ‘‘I didn’t choose Spain so much as Spain chose me.”’ Although he worked in the tourist business in Spain, Rice explained that he ‘“was caught up in Spanish art. By now it’s part of my life.”’ The exhibition Rice helped organize began a two-year tour of the United States in 1979 and represented one of the first opportunities the American public has had to view a large selection of contemporary Spanish prints. Rice called the duPont show ‘‘a step back that Rice organized. in this direction for me and the first step toward some other ventures, including future exhibitions at Washington and Lee.”’ The exhibition was organized under the auspices of the Grupo Quince workshop in Madrid and received backing from a grant from the U.S.-Spanish Joint Committee for Education and Cultural Affairs of the 1976 Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation between the United States and Spain. Other duPont Gallery exhibitions included a show of 19th-century wood engravings by Winslow Homer from the Virginia Museum and works from the private collection of Lexington resident Ralph Grant.

Library receives Aisenberg Collection A Baltimore, Md., couple has given the Washington and Lee University Library an important collection of almost 1,200 books and exhibition catalogs concerning late 19th- and early 20th-century art. Ellen and Alvin Aisenberg presented the books which they collected over the past 30 years. Mr. Aisenberg is an alumnus of Washington and Lee. Approximately one quarter of the Aisenberg Collection is composed of works on French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. The collection includes a multi-volume catalog of his complete drawings and an extensive group of critical works and biographies of Lautrec. ‘*This collection is by no means a survey of the history of modern art,’’ Mr. and Mrs. Aisenberg wrote in describing their gift. ‘‘It is rather a personal collection which stresses those figures which have especially appealed Richard W. Oram (left) and Priscilla Lewis of the University Library staff examine one of the volumes in the University’s new Aisenberg Collection of books and exhibition catalogs concerning late 19th- and early 20th-century art. to us: Lautrec, Degas, Schiele and Modigliani. ‘“We feel that it has sufficient depth to stimulate those students involved in research; it should also be useful to those who are simply interested in examining exhibition catalogs of their favorite artists.’’ University librarian Maurice D. Leach Jr. said that the Aisenbergs’ gift ‘‘adds a distinguished reference resource to the University Library. Each member of the Washington and Lee community is indebted to them for sharing with us this very carefully selected and rich collection.’’ Journalism class gets in the swim Students in a Washington and Lee journalism class had a chance to test their skills in television production on a major scale in March when Cable Channel Nine, W&L’s student-operated television station, presented a live telecast of the NCAA Division III Swimming and Diving Championships. The three-day NCAA event, which involved more than 375 competitors from 75 different Division III colleges and universities, was held in Washington and Lee’s Twombly Pool. Cable Channel Nine, which ordinarily provides three hours of daily programming, carried 18 hours of live coverage during the meet and produced a nightly highlights program. ‘‘This event provided invaluable experience for our students,’’ said Robert J. de Maria, assistant professor of journalism at Washington and Lee. ‘‘Covering an event of this size created situations that caused the students to display a lot of originality in their approach. ‘‘In addition to normal Cable Channel Nine staff members, students in Journalism 232 (Television Production) were involved in the overall production. ’”’ W&L’s Cable Channel Nine is seen on the Lexington cable system. In addition, a closed circuit system was created within the University’s Warner Center, allowing competitors to watch the proceedings on a big screen television several floors above the Twombly Pool. ‘‘Having the telecast available helped us relieve the congestion around the pool with the enormous number of competitors we had,’’ said W&L swimming coach Page Remillard. According to de Maria, both ESPN, a national cable station specializing in sports 23 We Gazette From a control center above the Cy Twombly Pool in W&L’s Warner Center, Cable Nine telecasts the NCAA Division III National Swimming and Diving Championships. programming, and WVPT, the public television station in Harrisonburg, Va., had originally expressed interest in telecasting the swimming event. ‘When both of those possibilities failed to materialize, we decided to tackle it,’’ said de Maria. ‘‘It required a lot of technical expertise in addition to a lot of hours.”’ Tom Tinsley, director of technical services at W&L, served as technical supervisor for the telecast. Bill Parks, a senior at W&L, was the executive producer while Bruce Young, also a senior, was the crew chief. Junior Chris Graham did the play-by-play (or, in this case, stroke-by-stroke) of the meet with Junior Dave Ridlon providing the commentary. University Theatre produces two hits The Washington and Lee University Theatre concluded one of its finest seasons with two memorable productions during the winter and spring terms. In March, the Theatre presented Man of La Mancha, and its performances drew rave reviews. In fact, the play was so popular that it was held over for an additional performance. The Rev. Ken Langdon, a minister in Buena Vista and a former professional actor, was cast in the lead role of Don Quixote. Albert Gordon, professor of fine arts, directed the play with Gordon Spice, 24 associate professor of music, serving as music director, Robert Stewart, professor of music, as orchestra director, and Tom Ziegler, assistant professor of fine arts, as technical director and set designer. In May, the Theatre’s offering of Scapino, a musical-comedy adaptation of what was originally a Moliere play, had an unusual twist to it. Produced by the spring term drama course known as ‘‘Total Theatre’’ and directed by Paula Langdon, instructor of drama, the play was set in an Italian restaurant in Naples during the 1950s. In efforts to make that setting as realistic as possible, the theatre enlisted the services of Robert J. de Maria, assistant professor of journalism at W&L and renowned Italian chef. De Maria prepared his special spaghetti, which was served to the theatre’s patrons prior to each evening’s performance. The audience then became part of the performance, served by the actors and becoming part of a ‘‘live’’ set for the play. Rotary Scholars Two Washington and Lee University students, Scott Bond of Wheeling, W.Va., and Steve Corbeille of Haymarket, Va., have been awarded Rotary Foundation Graduate Fellowships for 1982-83. Bond and Corbeille will begin their postgraduate studies following their graduation in June of 1983—Bond in Germany and Corbeille in Australia. Yes +, No- Washington and Lee’s faculty voted recently on a proposal to add plus and minus (e.g., A+, A-, etc.) to the University’s permanent grading system. The result? The motion was passed with 55 voting Yes, 23 voting No, two voting Yes+, and one voting No-. Commerce fraternities hold inductions Washington and Lee’s chapters of Beta Gamma Sigma, the national honor fraternity in business administration, and Omicron Delta Epsilon, the national honor society in economics, held their initiation ceremonies in May. The Beta of Virginia Chapter of Beta Gamma Sigma initiated six undergraduates and one faculty member while also making an alumnus, Robert G. Brown of Dallas, Texas, an honorary initiate. Brown, a 1949 graduate of Washington and Lee, is chairman of the board and chief executive officer of University Resources Corporation of Dallas. Dr. Carl P. Kaiser, assistant professor of economics, was the faculty initiate of Beta Gamma Sigma while the student initiates were seniors Graham T. Burnette of Lexington, Andrew F. Gottschalk of Lake Forest, Ill., John E. Monroe of New Orleans and juniors Timothy J. Elfering of Lake Forest, Ill.; Vincent J. Fechtel of Leesburg, Fla., and F. William Gue of Alexandria. Omicron Delta Epsilon initiated Dr. Bruce H. Herrick, professor of economics, along with seniors David R. Cordell of Oklahoma City, Robert L. Dalman of Greenwich, Conn., Clifford T. Gordon of St. Louis, Mo., Titus H. Harris of Houston, David A. Nickels of Huntington, N.Y., Daniel L. Weiss of Chevy Chase, Md., and junior John C. Vlahoplus of Columbia, S.C. Ryan awarded Mednick Grant Dr. Halford R. Ryan, associate professor of public speaking at Washington and Lee, has been awarded a research grant from the Maurice L. Mednick Memorial Fund for study this summer. The Mednick Memorial Fund is administered by the Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges (VFIC), a fund-raising consortium of 12 four-year private colleges in the state, including Washington and Lee. Ryan will use his Mednick research grant to pursue studies at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library in Austin, Texas. He plans to conduct research into President Johnson’s voting rights speech, which Johnson delivered to a joint session of Congress in 1965. In addition to examining various drafts of the speech and the contributions of Johnson’s speechwriters to the final product, Ryan will view videotapes to assess Johnson’s delivery and will investigate reaction to the speech as indicated by mail received at the White House. Ryan joined the faculty at Washington and Lee in 1970. He is a graduate of Wabash College with a master’s degree and a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois. The Mednick Memorial Fund was created in 1976 after the accidental death of a young Norfolk industrialist. His family and business associates established the fund to perpetuate his name and to recognize his own strong interest in higher education. The VFIC administers the fund to encourage professional development of college teachers and improve their competence through grants for research and advanced study and to assist highly qualified, needy students in their upperclass years in college. Campus speakers From modern art and race relations to paper lions and white-tailed deer, Washington and Lee enjoyed a varied lineup of speakers during the winter and spring terms. Contact, the speaker symposium conducted jointly by the student body and the interfraternity council, sponsored lectures by art critic Robert Hughes and author George Plimpton. Hughes, a senior editor of Time magazine, presented a slide-lecture entitled ‘‘Culture as Nature—Art and Mass Media from Cubism to Warhol.’’ Plimpton regaled his Lee Chapel audience with tales of his forays into the world of professional sports. The author of Paper Lion, who became a quarterback with the professional Detroit Lions to write one of his books, balked when it came to taking a turn in the goal at a practice session of the Generals’ lacrosse team. ‘‘I really should have tried it,’’ Plimpton said later. The Glasgow Endowment Program sponsored readings by two authors—Peter Taylor and John A. Williams. Taylor, called the American Chekhov by critics, has won numerous awards for his short stories while Williams is the author of eight novels, including a new work entitled !Click Song. The Student Association for Black Unity at W&L brought Dr. Alvin Pouissant to the campus in March. Pouissant is professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and one of the nation’s most popular lecturers on racism and race relations. Dr. George Wald, Higgins Professor of Biology Emeritus at Harvard University and a Nobel Prize-winning scientist, presented a multi-faceted lecture entitled ‘‘Life in the University’’ during a visit to the campus sponsored by the science departments and the department of philosophy. Leonard Lee Rue III, the most published wildlife photographer in the United States, gave a slide-lecture on white-tailed deer in April. Rue appeared under the joint sponsorship of the biology departments at W&L and VMI. The University’s innovative program in applied ethics, ‘‘Society and the Professions,’’ held its Legal Ethics Institute in March and its Medical Ethics Institute in May. Thomas L. Shaffer, professor of law at W&L, was the keynote speaker for the law ie George Plimpton ( left) gets alesson in the fine a rt of lacrosse stick-handling during a visit to the Generals’ institute, lecturing on the topic ‘‘The Legal Ethics of Servanthood.’’ Dr. James F. Childress, professor of religious studies and medical education at the University of Virginia, spoke on ‘‘Personal Conscience and Professional Roles’’ at the medical institute. Landon Butler, ’63, formerly deputy assistant to President Jimmy Carter, visited the campus in March and met with Professor Milton Colvin’s seminar on ‘‘Strategic Intelligence and National Defense Policy.’’ Butler’s presentation centered on the Panama and Salt II treaty process. Other participants in Colvin’s seminar were Lt. Gen. Paul Gorman, assistant to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Sam Wilson, former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and Mrs. Josephine Fang, dean of library science at Simmons College and an expert on Chinese Library Holdings. Other visitors to the campus included Dr. Yoshiaki Shimizu, curator of Japanese art for the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington, who gave a slide-lecture in March, Dr. Herbert A. Simon of Carnegie-Mellon University who led a discussion on ‘‘Computer Simulation of Human Thought Processes’’ in February, and retired Army Maj. Gen. George S.

First, let’s set the scene. The Generals’ lacrosse team, enjoying a better season than anyone had expected with a 6-1 record after six weeks, went to Charlottesville on April 18 and were mauled by the University of Virginia, 22-8. Six days after the Virginia game, W&L was faced with the awesome task of playing North Carolina, the best college lacrosse team in America. ‘‘Qur players were down. They were embarrassed by the Virginia game,’’ said coach Jack Emmer. ‘‘We had to find a way to get them back for North Carolina. ’’ Enter the Armadillo. Devised by Emmer within the rules (as chairman of the U.S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association rules committee Emmer knows the rules), the Armadillo consisted of five of W&L’s offensive players forming a tight circle and locking their arms around a teammate who had the ball in his stick. The result was a simple game of keepaway. The Generals stood in their Armadillo while North Carolina’s puzzled defenders stormed around the outside of the circle and tried to find a way to get the ball back. Emmer’s idea was to keep his Generals in the game by keeping the ball away from Carolina’s high-scoring offense and to frustrate the Tar Heels, too. Darned if it didn’t work. Almost. Employing the Armadillo to hold the ball for several stretches as long as eight minutes, the Generals grabbed a 3-0 lead, trailed 5-4 at the half, and were tied 7-7 early in the fourth quarter before the Tar Heels finally pulled away to an 11-8 victory. The reaction to the Armadillo followed predictable lines. The partisan Wilson Field crowd, stunned and a bit bemused at the outset, cheered mightily whenever the Armadillo went into action. Carolina’s players were not so amused. Nor did the folks from the Tar Heel state appreciate it much when anyone tried to draw comparisons between Emmer’s Armadillo and North Carolina basketball coach Dean 26 Members of the white-shirted Generals employ the Armadillo while North Carolina’ s players—and the two game officials—survey the rather unusual situation. Smith’s vaunted four corners tactic. Even Emmer admitted that the Armadillo probably did not belong on a lacrosse field but defended his one-time use of the tactic by observing that ‘‘it did just what we wanted it to do. It gave us a chance to win the game. After what had happened the previous week (at Virginia), we had to do something to avoid another situation like that.”’ The Armadillo became a hot topic of conversation for days . . . even weeks. Two days after the game the NCAA lacrosse rules committee convened a special meeting and made an addendum to a rule on withholding the ball from play that, in effect, banned Emmer’s tactic. As someone suggested, the NCAA rules committee did to the Armadillo what Texas motorists had been doing to the creatures for years. Sports pages throughout the region carried front-page accounts of the Armadillo. And the Richmond Times-Dispatch even wrote an editorial about the Armadillo. Although admitting that such delaying tactics as the Armadillo should be outlawed, the Times-Dispatch wrote: ‘Still, we must confess to finding poetic justice in the W&L coach’s selection of a foe on which to sic the Armadillo. And we are amused by the surly reaction from the Tar Heels, with their goalie calling the W&L delaying tactic ‘garbage’ and their coach threatening to drop W&L from UNC’s schedule. Are memories so short? Only last month another No. 1-ranked UNC team, coached by the sainted Dean Smith, took the air out of a basketball for the final 13 minutes of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament championship in order to defeat the University of Virginia. And the Tar Heels had no excuse of being a definite underdog in that contest, though their coach acted as though they were one. ‘‘Is the Armadillo, now blessedly extinct, really so different in principle from the Polar Bear that some basketball teams use to chill an opponent (and fan interest) when they can do so within the rules?’’ Though the Armadillo died a hasty death, the W&L lacrosse team finished its season with a flourish by winning its last three games in a row a 9-4 record. The Generals finished 13th in the final Division I national poll. Spring Sports wrapup TRACK AND FIELD—Senior John McKee and sophomore Angus McBryde claimed individual titles to lead the Generals to a third place finish in the sixth annual Old Dominion Athletic Conference Track and Field Championships at Wilson Field. McKee won the shot put (45 feet, 11% inches) while McBryde won the 1500 meter run (4:02.48). In dual meets, the Generals had a 7-2 record. BASEBALL—Led offensively by second baseman Chris Cavalline with a .340 batting average, the Generals. posted a 9-20 record under first-year head coach Jim Murdock. W&L was 5-9 in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference. Freshman righthander Billy White was the top pitcher with an earned run average of 3.69. TENNIS—Freshmen Andy Haring, Steve Bendheim, and Steve Irwin and senior Wes Yonge earned runner-up honors in singles competition to lead the Generals to a third place finish in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference Tennis Championships. The Generals compiled a 6-17 record in dual matches with one of the victories coming over neighboring VMI. GOLF—The Generals placed third in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference Golf Championships with a 36-hole total of 613. Senior Jim Kaplan had a 152 total in the tournament for a fifth place finish. He and senior Bill Alfano (154) won All-Conference recognition. The Generals were unbeaten in six dual matches this spring. Sports awards Seniors Mike Bernot and Mike Pressler shared the Preston R. Brown Outstanding Athlete Award given at the annual All-Sports ceremony in May. Senior John McKee, a standout in both football and track, received the Wink Glasgow Spirit and Sportsmanship award while wrestler Jeff Dixon won the Outstanding Freshman Athlete award. Bernot was a four-year letterman in water polo and swimming while Pressler was a four-year letter winner in football and lacrosse. Both athletes won All-America recognition in their respective sports as well. Bernot claimed eight All-America citations for performances at the 1980, 1981, and 1982 NCAA Division III Swimming Championships. Pressler was named to the Kodak/American Football Coaches’ Association 1981 college-division All- America first team and to the Associated Press 1981 college-division second team. Freshman Andy Haring returns a shot during his match in the Old Dominion Athletic C onference championships in May. 2] Chapter News CLEVELAND.
