Twice within less than a month, tragedy paid cruel visits to Washington and Lee. On Feb. 22, Prof. Bill Chaffin and one of his leading debaters, Kevin Baker, were killed in an automobile accident as they were re- turning from a debate tournament in New Hampshire. Twenty-five days later, on Mar. 19, Prof. Ollinger Cren- shaw died unexpectedly in his sleep. These deaths pro- duced pain difficult to bear. The bereavement of the Washington and Lee com- munity was intensified by several circumstances. ‘The loss of a young life of the potential of Mr. Baker's was most saddening. And there was the fact that the two professors —one approaching the bright noon of a promising career and the other basking in the glowing sunset of a life of noble achievement—were devoted friends. Ollinger Cren- shaw regarded Bill Chaffin almost as a son, and Bill ac- corded Ollie the respect and affection which distinguish genuine friendship between younger and older men. Prof. Chaffin’s death grieved Dr. Crenshaw more perhaps than anyone will ever know. Remembrances of Prof. Chaffin and Prof. Crenshaw appear elsewhere in this issue of the Alumnus. We merely wish to suggest here that the measure of such losses is often the measure of strength. Certainly the losses are great. Good and true men will carry on the work of Profs. Chaffin and Crenshaw. But as personalities they can never be replaced. Prof. Chaffin exhibited a seemingly boundless energy which he spent unsparingly in his work as a teacher of speech and coach of debate. He strove for excellence and achieved it. Dr. Crenshaw was the complete teacher and scholar. One needs only to read Dr. Crenshaw’s history of Washington and Lee, General Lee’s College, to understand the pro- fundity of his scholarship, the agility of his wit, and the depth of his devotion to Washington and Lee. In short, Prof. Chaffin and Prof. Crenshaw possessed and shared in abundance those qualities that have made Washington and Lee distinctive over the years—personal dedication to learning free of sham and pedantry, to human decency, to honor among men. Other people drew strength from them; Washington and Lee drew strength from them. And it is upon the realization that these sources of strength are lost that one discerns fully how rare and how enduring such strength really is. THE NATIONAL SCENE Reporting on civil rights . . . tuition hikes... forecasts of disruption ... dissent and justice ... educators and politics Prepared by Editorial Projects for Education TuRNING Point? Over the past two years, the federal gov- ernment increasingly put pressure on individual colleges and state college systems to end racial bias and provide greater opportunities for minority groups. But then: The top civil rights official in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare resigned under fire. Congress showed a strong inclination to strip the department of its major administrative weapons against segregation. Vice- President Agnew denounced racial quotas and “open ad- missions” in higher education. Suddenly there was much uncertainty about how vigorously the Administration would enforce the Civil Rights Act of 1964 on the na- tion’s campuses. ‘UNIVERSAL AccEss’. Everyone with a fair chance of aca- demic success ought to be able to go to college if he wants to, says the prestigious Carnegie Commission on Higher Education. “Inequality of opportunity must not continue to sap the strength of our nation,” the commission asserts in a special report. It calls for “universal access” to higher education and sets a deadline: 1976. Risinc Tuition. The pressure of inflation on education costs is forcing many colleges and universities, public and private, to raise tuition once again. “We must plan on regular annual increases in student charges over the fore- seeable future,” says an administrator in the Ivy League, where tuitions are heading for $2,500 and more a year. RESEARCH First. President Nixon wants to be sure educa- tion programs work before he seeks large outlays of new funds. He has proposed a National Institute of Education “as a focus for educational research and experimenta- tion.” TROuBLED ScIENCE. American science needs a lot more money to escape mediocrity, warns the National Science Board. It says that a lack of funds, especially from the federal government, is making it difficult for scientists to “respond to new ideas and new opportunities.” TURBULENCE AHEAD. Amid increasing reports of renewed violence on a number of campuses, many college educa- tors sense that the 1970's will be no less disruptive than the previous decade. “The peak of activism has not yet rEATURE 1 been reached,” one university administrator told col- leagues at a national conference. Others agreed. They said they expected urgent social problems to involve their institutions more deeply in off-campus affairs. Conversa- tions also turned to such issues as the effect of open- admission policies on higher education, the financial plight of institutions, and changes in campus governance and the academic job market. Campus Dissent. Colleges and universities have to main- tain order; they cannot tolerate “the number and kinds of disruptions that have become commonplace.” In mak- ing that observation, however, a special panel of attorneys and academic leaders also cautioned that “there is a risk that certain efforts to maintain order may themselves be excessive and may indirectly contribute to disruptions.” Institutions should seek “order with justice,” said the panel, a commission of the American Bar Association, and guarantee their students the right to dissent. RECRUITING SLOWwpowN. Business firms are not looking for as many new college graduates as they used to. After a decade of expanding job opportunities, reports the Col- lege Placement Council, industry has reduced its campus recruiting this year by 16 per cent for bachelor’s degree candidates, 26 per cent for master’s degree candidates, | and 14 per cent for Ph.D. candidates. PRIVATE Support. Corporations gave $340-million to edu- cation in 1968, the Council for Financial Aid to Educa- tion estimated after a survey of 795 companies. Contribu- tions were 13.3 per cent higher than those of 1966, al- though the rate of increase showed a decline. Still, said the council, “there has been no lessening of the business community’s commitment to underwrite an important share of the voluntary support of higher education.” CAMPAIGN Fever. “We who have been in higher educa- tion have a feeling for... why there is such a degree of impatience among many in the country,” says Edwin D. Etherington. He has decided to give up the presidency of Wesleyan University and seek the Republican nomina- tion for U.S. Senator in Connecticut. Other college ad- ministrators and faculty members in several states also are seeking political office this spring. “TEACH-IN’ Time. As a focus for their concern over en- vironmental problems, students have turned to the tech- nique of the “‘teach-in,” which anti-war groups first used with great effect in 1965. Plans for a nationwide series of seminars, speeches, and demonstrations on a single day this April involved hundreds of campuses across the country. Ihe man who first proposed the environmental teach-in, Sen. Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, saw _ it developing into a “massive movement” to improve the quality of life in America. FEATURE 3 re ALM —-——- —— epeeninenes —_~ peewee Ve = y Court Theater; Peter Gill, the director whose produc- tion of D. H. Lawrence’s plays was a major event in British theatrical history; and Martin Esslin, the author of The Theater of the Absurd. These artists lecture and : supervise improvisations and sessions on _ directing, speech, and interpretation. Later in the day, the group may investigate a historic site somewhere in London or the surrounding country— the Tower of London, Hatfield House, Southwark Ca- thedral—or visit museums and galleries such as the Vic- toria and Albert Museum with its delightful collection of ) fine arts, the British Museum, and the National Portrait , Gallery. The day also includes time for shopping or touring the area surrounding Northampton Hall, the part of the , City University of London where the group stays. Locat- ed within walking distance of the Hall are the old Roman | city wall, still preserved, the graves of Blake, Bunyan, } and Defoe, the Bank of England, and St. Paul’s Cathed- ral. Milton wrote Paradise Lost on the street where the | Hall now stands. At night, the seminar members go to the theater. London has a tremendous range of productions, vary- ing widely in type and style. Last year’s group saw a pro- duction of Over Gardens Out, an experimental play by Peter Gill in a tiny room in the attic of the Royal Court Theater called ‘The Open Space. At the other extreme, the Royal Shakespeare Company operates two large theaters, one in London and one at Stratford-on-Avon. The seminar participants have seen Royal Shakespeare Company productions of The Winters Tale and King Lear at Stratford, and Troilius and Cressida, Much Ado About Nothing, and Harold Pinter’s two one-act plays Landscape and Silence. Indeed, the tour ranges through the periods of drama: from Seneca’s Oedipus, directed by Peter Brook of the English and United States productions of Marat-Sade, and featuring John Gielgud; through the Restoration, including Tom Courtney in Goldsmith’s She Stoops to Conquer, and Congreve’s The Double Dealer; through Bertolt Brecht’s Arturo Ui (also a 1970 Troubadour pro- duction at Washington and Lee); through Charles Maro- witz’s experimental refashioning of Hamlet. And, in ad- dition, lecturers talk about the styles before the group sees the representative plays. In sum, the British Theater Seminar is, in many re- spects, for the Washington and Lee students who par- ticipate a kind of drama in itself. 4. FEATURE The Girls—They Came, They Saw, They Conquered; And It’s Quite Possible They'll Be Here For Good The miniskirts came to General Lee’s College the second week of February. Some personal beliefs, biases, and pre- judices may have been shaken by the ex- perience, but at week’s end the Colon- nade, Old George, and Lee Chapel were still standing steady, and life resumed in pretty much the old style. Coeducation Week at Washington and Lee was to some a lark, to others a dark foreboding. It was the feminine point of view and logic in the classroom, lively male-female tete-a-tetes over coffee at the Co-op or a draft at the University Center, self-conscious small-talk before dinners in honor of the coeds at the fraternity houses, voluntary intellectual seminars in the afternoons attended well by the women, not as well by men, evening ad- dresses by the likes of Ramsey Clark and Robert Goralski attended well by all. It was a taste of springtime during an other- wise dreary February. It was the talk of the town. Even traditionalists opposed to coeducation could scarcely deny that Co- education Week enlivened the environs. Approximately 120 young women from Mary Baldwin, Hollins, Sweet Briar, and Randolph-Macon Woman's College became Washington and Lee students for a week as part of the 6th annual CON- TACT program sponsored by Washing- ton and Lee students through the Inter- fraternity Council. Under the dynamic chairmanship of Larry Honig, a senior from Houston, Tex., the CONTACT Committee spon- sored Washington and Lee’s first Coed Week in addition to a program of out- side speakers that was undiminished from the high quality of CONTACT sym- posia of other years. Speeches and semi- nars centered around the general theme of modern communications problems. There was Ramsey Clark, former U.S. Attorney General, declaring that the prob- lem of crime “is demonstratively and di- rectly related to poverty, ignorance, un- employment, and poor health,” and will not be solved by ‘“‘preachments” of law and order. There were Harold Hayes, editor of Esquire magazine, a popular publication with the Now Generation, and William A. Rusher, publisher of National Review, a leading journal of conservative opinion, engaging in discussion and heated debate. There was Robert Goralski, NBC news correspondent, agreeing with Vice Presi- dent Spiro Agnew that television news coverage has its shortcomings, but dis- agreeing profoundly with the Vice Presi- dent on what those failings are. (“Unlike Spiro Agnew, I don’t think we're being interpretive or analytical enough.’’) There were other stimulating speak- ers from the campus community and state news media, but pervading all was Week. Pink handbills posted copiously on trees and bulletin boards told the story with in- tentionally ungrammatical zest—““THE GIRLS IS COMING!” The girls — or Coeducation and yellow women as many young ladies prefer to be called today—did indeed come. They came, they saw, they conquered. At least they conquered the hearts of the editorial writers of the Tuesday and Friday Ring- tum Phi’s. Tuesday’s edition was the most en- thusiastic of the two: “We. seriously challenge anyone who can still be op- posed to coeducation for Washington and Lee. True, the women were only here for five short days. But look back at those five days when coeducation was on trial. The week was marked by pleasant, or- derly, intellectual, and rewarding camp- us activity. But, more important, there was a real and natural atmosphere cir- culating throughout the campus which Former U.S, Attorney General Ramsey Clark declared that crime is related to poverty, ignorance, unemployment, and poor health during CONTACT symposium. a was evident in and out of the classroom, and which refreshingly replaced the stale odor of superficiality usually encount- ered.” Friday’s edition restrained its enthus- iasm by noting that one week was not enough time for everything to settle down to a normal routine; therefore, the week was not a full test of coeducation. The campus assumed an air of “artificiality,” the paper said, adding: “Class attend- ance has increased, and everybody seems to be dressing a lot better than is nor- mally the case.” (In fact, some student-watchers wryly suggested, after surveying the sudden blossoming of coats and ties for Coed Week, that the University could end one tradition, all-male enrollment, to salvage another, the coat-and-tie tradition, which to the regret of many is no longer uni- versally upheld.) However, Friday’s edition concluded that “the contribution some classes have received due to the presence of women in them convinces us that the experiment as a means to test coeducation is not totally invalid and indeed seems to indicate that there are advantages accruing to the idea.” A sampling of opinion among the coeds-for-a-week turned up considerable enthusiasm over the experience, though not all women were sure they would pre- fer coeducation as an always thing. Marianne Vincent, a 21-year-old Ran- dolph-Macon Woman’s College student and correspondent for the Richmond News Leader, evaluated the strong and weak points of Coed Week: “Probably the element that hurt the program most was time (lack of it),” she commented. “By the end of the week, we began to notice a marked change in the attitude of the boys. They began to treat us as students, not as social objects. “Coeducation at Washington and Lee, I believe, would be more successful on a semester basis. Girls would have a chance to be fully integrated into the classes where they would be working as students rather than as guests. “I felt some traditional opposition to the concept of coeducation this week. I’m not sure what the basis of it was, except possibly the attitude that competition in classes with females is not good. But once we got them to accept us as students and convinced them that we were not here to make social contacts, the change was re- markable. I believe the majority of girls came here for an educational experience.” Miss Vincent and some other sources indicated a few girls packed and left dur- ing the early part of the week, disgusted with life at Washington and Lee—during Coed Week, at least. “But,” Miss Vincent added, “the girls who left during the first part of the week missed the best part. After initial adjustment, the week went well. “Probably the most rewarding experi- ence other than the classes was finding yourself talking to male students about things you care about, and not worrying about names, hometowns, majors, or the other little social games. “One thing that really bugged me here is the cut-throat competition between male students in the classroom. Students let a classmate hang himself in a class discussion. We try to help each other at Randolph-Macon. A major factor here is possibly the faculty grading system—I cannot understand the rationale behind giving Joe Smith an F just because Joe Doe is getting an A.” Because of what she saw as fierce com- petition for grades, Miss Vincent was not certain that she would prefer a coed en- vironment to an all-female school. Donna Shoemaker, a senior English major at Hollins, said that “generally, it was a very good experience—a total in- volvement kind of experience.” Emphasizing the merits of learning for learning’s sake rather than for a grade, Miss Shoemaker said she felt the opportunity to sample courses in a college other than her home college, unfettered temporarily by academic pressures, was beneficial. “I’ve been sitting in on as many extra classes here as possible,” she remarked. “I believe this kind of experience proves you don’t have to be in a highly-structured situation in order to learn.” Other comments from the distaff side: “I think it’s great; it’s very stimulating to have boys to talk to,” said Pam Rod- ney, a senior from Randolph-Macon. “I always wanted to go to a girls’ col- lege,” said Brooke Thomas, a Sweet Briar junior. “It has a lot to offer and you don’t have to worry about what you look like in class.” “You can do a lot of things at a girls’ school you can’t do at a coed school,” re- marked Christy Conner, a Hollins sopho- more. From W&L students: “I like it,” freshman Jim Fernald of CAMPUS.5 Charlottesville, Va., commented. ‘As it is now it’s a very dull routine. I don’t know whether it would help or hurt the school academically, but I think it would provide a more correct social life.” “IT thought that girls would be dis- tracting and I just didn’t want them around,” said David Allen, a senior from Pitman, N.J., speaking of his decision to come to Washington and Lee. ‘As it turned out, they’re just as distracting when they’re not here.” A point made by many of the young men and women is that little weekend studying is accomplished at a non-co- educational school because much of the weekend is spent traveling to other col- leges for dates. One disadvantage of Coed Week was that it cut down on the lustiness of the jokes sometimes told by professors to wake up their all-male classes. In one case, it may even have altered the course of an entire lecture. Stevie Norris of Sweet Briar reported that in her first class of Coed Week, the “poor professor” walked in, saw a room full of females, and declared: ‘‘Well, we won't talk about fertility today after all.” “I would have thought it the ideal situation myself,” she said. Policy Changes Effected Students achieved parity on one im- portant committee at the University and were given a vote on another in recent action by the Washington and ‘Lee fac- ulty. The faculty altered the composition of the Student Affairs Committee so that five students and five faculty members or ad- ministrators will have voting privileges. Previously, seven faculty members or ad- ministrators, and four students had cast votes. The Student Affairs Committee has responsibilities in the general areas of disciplinary cases, fraternity rules, the freshman orientation program, policy re- garding University dances, advising the dean of students, and assuming jurisdic- tion over all student affairs not covered by other committees. Increased student voting representa- tion on the committee had been proposed by the student government. The actions will become effective in September. In addition, the faculty voted to al- low a student representative on the Fac- ©. CAMPUS ulty Executive Committee to have a vote on all its business matters except those in which the committee is taking interim action for the faculty as a whole. In other matters, the faculty: @ Elected Dr. Edgar Spencer, pro- fessor of geology, to the Faculty Advisory Committee, which advises President Huntley. @ Voted to permit the department of religion to offer a major, effective with the 1970-71 academic year. Huntley Named To Board University President Robert Huntley was one of two men named Feb. 25 to fill vacancies on the Virginia State Board of Education. Also selected to the seven-man board by Gov. Linwood Holton, a Washington and Lee graduate, was Preston C, Caruth- ers, chairman of the Arlington School Board. They represented the first appoint- ments by Gov. Holton to a state board or commission since he took office in Janu- ary. Both supported Holton in his cam- paign for governor last fall. Huntley, a Republican who was once a Democrat, will be the fifth president of an institution of higher learning in this century to serve on the board. “I appreciate being given this oppor- tunity to be of whatever service I can to public education in Virginia, particularly since so many decisions that are import- ant to Virginia’s future are impending in this field,” Huntley remarked after his appointment, one that will run for four years. At the conclusion of a four-year term, a member is eligible for reappointment for one additional term on the board, which meets monthly and which is re- sponsible for setting policy for public education on the elementary and second- ary levels. Huntley, 40, is now the youngest member of the board. Latest Troub Production The Resistable Rise of Arturo Ui, a play seldom performed in this country, was the most recent presentation of the Troubadour Theatre at Washington and Lee. The two-act play by German-born playwright Bertolt Brecht was presented March 24-27. Troubadours rehearse for Arturo Ui presentation—they couldn’t become emotionally involved with their characters. The play is ostensibly about the rise of a small-time gangster in Chicago dur- ing Prohibition, but is actually about the rise of Hitler and Nazism in Germany. Each main character has a parallel in Nazi Germany, with the central character, Arturo Ui, corresponding to Hitler. David Katz, a senior from Chagrin Falls, Ohio, appeared in the title role. Other important characters were portray- ed by Robert Carrere, a sophomore from New Orleans, La.; Marc Scott, a sopho- more from Marshall, Va.; David Christo- vich, a junior from New Orleans; Carr Garnett, a junior from Charlottesville, Va.; Hugh Hill, a junior from Roanoke, Va.; and Mrs. Nan Duvall of Lexing- ton, wife of Dr. Severn Duvall, head of the English department at Washington and Lee. Brecht was living in Hollywood in self-imposed exile from Germany when he wrote the play in 1941. In the play’s epilogue, Brecht warns the world that tyranny is not dead. Lee Kahn, Troubadour Theatre di- rector and assistant professor of fine arts, chose the play for production because “It was a very good exercise for young actors. The performers cannot become emotion- ally involved with their characters.” Ac- cording to Kahn, Brecht’s actors serve ‘‘as a kind of messenger between the script and the audience.” The play was substituted when the Troubadour Theatre could not secure the rights to “Hair.” Kahn is hopeful that the Troubs can get “Hair” for next year, although he fears that it might be too “dated” by then. Academic Appointments The appointments of four new aca- demic department chairmen and the re- tirements of three department heads have been announced by Dr. William W. Pusey, III, dean of the College. Two of the men will chair new de- partments to be created from the division of the department of fine arts into the department of music and drama and the department of art. The changes are as follows: —Effective Sept. 1, Dr. John H. Wise, 49, professor of chemistry, will become head of the department of chemistry, suc- ceeding Dr. Esmarch S. Gilreath, 65. —Professor Marion Junkin, 64, found- er of Washington and Lee’s department of fine arts in 1949, will retire as depart- ment head at the end of the current year. —Effective Sept. 1, Robert Stewart, 51, professor of music and fine arts, will be- come head of the department of music and drama. At the same time, Dr. Gerard M. Doyon, 46, associate professor of fine arts, will become head of the department of art. —Effective Feb. 2, Dr. G. Francis Drake, 56, professor of romance langu- ages, will become head of the depart- ment of romance languages, succeeding Dr. Linton Lomas Barrett, 65. Although they are reaching the re- quired retirement age of 65 for depart- ment heads, Professors Gilreath, Junkin, and Barrett will continue to teach at the University, Dean Pusey noted. A member of Washington and Lee’s faculty since 1953, Dr. Wise has been pro- fessor of chemistry since 1961 and chair- man of the University’s computer com- mittee since 1965. In 1959-60, he served as visiting associate professor at Brown Uni- versity. Born in Marysville, Pa., Dr. Wise took his B.S. degree at Haverford College in 1942 and his Ph.D. at Brown University in 1947. From 1943 to 1946, he was a chemist in the Manhattan Project at Brown Uni- versity. He taught at Stanford Univer- sity from 1947 until joining the Wash- ington and Lee faculty in 1953. He has published a number of articles in scho- larly journals, and he was one of the co- authors of a laboratory manual for a freshman chemistry course. Dr. Gilreath, head of the department of chemistry since September, 1955, has written five textbooks on chemistry for national publishing houses. He joined the Washington and Lee faculty in 1946. He took his A.B., M.A., and Ph.D. de- grees in chemistry from the University of North Carolina. From 1934 to 1942, he taught at high schools in North Carolina. Later, he served as an instructor at UNC and as research chemist at American Enka Corp. in Enka, N.C., before joining Washington and Lee’s faculty. Widely known as a composer, Pro- fessor Stewart joined the Washington and Lee faculty in 1954. Born in Buffalo, N.Y., he holds three Master of Music degrees, One each in music education, violin, and composition from the American Conser- vatory in Chicago. He taught at the Con- ‘ervatory for several years before coming to Lexington. Stewart’s compositions have been per- formed by some of the leading groups in the United States, such as the New York Brass Quintet, the American Brass Quin- tet, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and the Composers Forum of New York City. His works have received numerous honors and commissions. In 1968-70, Professor Stewart served as president of the Southeastern Com- posers League. A native of Manchester, N.H., Dr. Doyon received his A.B. degree at St. An- selm’s College in Manchester, and_ his A.M. and Ph.D. degrees at Boston Uni- versity. He also studied at Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris under a Fulbright Scholarship and at the Ecole du Musee du Louvre in Paris. Before assuming his present position on Washington and Lee’s faculty in Sep- tember, 1968, Dr. Doyon served as chair- man of the art department at St. Anselm’s College, assistant chairman of human- ities at Miami-Dade Junior College in Florida, and chairman of the art depart- ment at Florida Atlantic University. His book, Art By the Masters, was published by Allied Press in 1964-66, and he has been awarded several major paint- ing commissions. Professor Junkin was born in Chunju, Korea, the son of a Presbyterian mission- ary. A graduate of Washington and Lee, he studied art in New York at the Art Student’s League, George Luks’ Art Class, and the Metropolitan School of Art. After serving as associate director of the Richmond School of Art (now part of Virginia Commonwealth University) from 1934 to 1941, Junkin went to Van- derbilt University where he founded its department of fine arts. In 1949, he be- came Washington and Lee’s first professor of art, and he has served since as head of the fine arts department. His work has been exhibited at such places as the Car- negie Institute, the Whitney Museum, and the New York World’s Fair. He has received awards from the Virginia Mu- seum of Fine Arts and the Butler Art In- stitute Biennial. During the 1950’s, Junkin created six large fresco murals, including work for the Richmond Cerebral Palsy Center, the Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital in Lexington, and a savings and loan associa- tion in Memphis, Tenn. Born in East Cleveland, Ohio, Dr. Drake joined the Washington and Lee faculty in 1940 as an instructor. He mov- ed up to assistant professor in 1946, as- sociate professor in 1957, and became pro- CAMPUS :7 fessor of romance languages in 1959. He received the A.B. in French from Oberlin College, then took graduate study in languages at Princeton University, the University of Virginia, and the University of North Carolina, receiving his Ph.D. from the latter school in 1957. At Washington and Lee, Dr. Drake has played an important role in con- ducting National Defense Education Act and Education Professions Development Act institutes for high school teachers from all sections of the nation during re- cent summers. Dr. Barrett, who was born in Lanett, Ala., became professor of romance langu- ages at Washington and Lee in 1948, and he has headed the department since 1960. A graduate of Mercer University with a Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina, Dr. Barrett served as public af- fairs officer in Bogota, Colombia and Quito, Ecuador from 1951 to 1953. He is the author of two textbooks and num- erous articles on Spanish and Portuguese literature. Dr. Barrett, often with the collabora- tion of his wife, has translated several books from the Portuguese language for major American publishers. Disaster Relief Study Information compiled by Washington and Lee students was presented in early February to a U.S. Senate subcommittee on disaster relief which held hearings in Roanoke. | The students, as part of a class in re- search methods of politics and sociology, interviewed 98 victims of the August flood in Rockbridge County, gathering data and obtaining reaction of the persons to their losses. The class is taught by Dr. William Buchanan, professor of politics. Presenting the report to the subcom- mittee headed by Sen. Birch Bayh, D-Ind., were seniors Homer F. Gamble of Kings- tree, S.C., and J. David Field of Monroe, Ga. Other members of the class who par- ticipated in the study were: G. Christo- pher Habers of Sewickley, Pa.; George W. Hamlin of Scarsdale, N.Y.; Charles A. Holt of Blacksburg, Va.; Thomas O. Metcalf of Watertown, Mass.; Joseph. D. Raine, Jr., of Louisville, Ky.; and Robert C. Skinner of Coraopolis, Pa. In interviewing persons along the South and Maury rivers, from Vesuvius to 8 CAMPUS Glasgow, the students found that the maximum loss reported for any one fam- ily was $40,000, while the average loss per family was about $6,000. ‘“The greater losses,” the report stated, “were incurred by those with the larger incomes, but it was the families with low incomes who lost the most relative to income.” The victims’ reaction to loss was large- ly in “personal terms,” the report stated. “Despair at property loss, debt, and the labor required to rebuild what had been swept away were mentioned by 44 of the 53 persons who said their lives would be worse off as a result of the flood. Five persons mentioned emotional effects, such as fear. “Only 10 persons said they intended to move out of the flooded area. Asked about the effect on the community, 12 said they feared other people would move away, and another six said that with the land ruined, new people would not move into their communities.” The survey also included a question Which raised the possibility there might be eventual benefits from the flood. De- spite this “loading of the question,” the report noted, only 30 persons felt that the “cloud had any silver lining,” and 18 of those persons said that meeting the emer- gency had spiritually enhanced their lives in some way, or had brought them closer to God. Victims were also asked which agencies should have helped more than they did. “The important finding is that some three months after the flood, 78 per cent did not list any agency as not helping enough. Fifteen said Red Cross, and two said churches, while five others gave scat- tered responses to the question of insuffici- ent aid. It is interesting that the only agencies blamed by more than one per- son were those agencies that in fact helped the most—the Red Cross which helped 65 per cent of the people, and the churches which helped 45 per cent of the people.” Recent SNPAF Seminar A continuing education seminar for Southern newspapermen and newspaper- women on the topic, “Literature in the South,” was held on campus Feb. 15-18. The seminar was one of a series on a wide variety of topics sponsored by the Southern Newspaper Publishers Associa- tion Foundation. Joining the foundation in sponsoring the Washington and Lee seminar were the University’s department of journalism and communications, and the department of English. The continu- ing education sessions are held at se- jected Southern colleges and universities. Co-chairmen of the seminar were Pro- fessor Paxton Davis, head of the depart- ment of journalism and communications, and Dr. Severn Duvall, head of the de- partment of English. Some of the topics discussed by the 13 seminar participants included: “Life and Letters in the South,” ‘‘Race, Violence, and Humor — Characteristic Themes,” “Southern Fiction to Faulkner,” ‘A Read- ing: Poetry and Fiction,” “Women Wri- ters of the South,” “Southern Poetry,” and “Contemporary Southern Writing.” Four Printing Awards The Journalism Laboratory Press of Washington and Lee has received four Printing Industries of the Virginias fine printing awards for its publications, W. Howard Eanes, superintendent of the lab- oratory press, has announced. The awards included two for stapled publications—first place for a bulletin en- titled The Natural Sciences at Washing- ton and Lee University, and second place for the October, 1969, issue of the Alum- nus, the magazine for Washington and Lee alumni. In addition, the laboratory press re- ceived two honorable mentions—one for a Journalism Laboratory Press letterhead done by lithograph offset, and one for a stapled publication entitled The Fresh- man Year (1969). The awards were earned in compéeti- tion with printing plants with 10 or fewer employees in Virginia and West Virginia. They were awarded: “In recognition of fine printing produced in accordance with the highest traditions of Virginias’ graphic arts.” All of the stapled publications were designed by the Washington and Lee publications office, directed by Romulus T. Weatherman. The Journalism Laboratory Press is operated by the department of journalism and communications of Washington and Lee. PBK Elects 28 The Washington and Lee chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the national honorary fraternity recognizing outstanding schol- arship, has elected 28 new members. The list is comprised of 18 seniors, five juniors, one law student, three mem- bers of the class of 1969, and one honor- ary member, whose name will be an- nounced later.

Eustis, Va. The law student elected is Leighton Summerson Houck, a Hampden-Sydney College graduate from Lynchburg, Va. In addition, three magna cum laude graduates of the class of 1969 were elected. They included Robert Irving Dunbar from Cincinnati, Ohio, William David Ferraraccio from Bluefield, Va., and Alan Marc Le Vine from Hawthorne, N ‘Js Membership in Phi Beta Kappa, which was founded at the College of William and Mary in 1776, has long been re- garded as one of the highest of academic distinctions. The purpose of the society is to recognize and encourage scholarship and cultural interests. Qualifications for membership are excellent scholarship, liberal culture, and good character. PBK Sophomore Awards Two Washington and Lee students have been named recipients of the Phi Beta Kappa Sophomore Award at the University for 1970. They are Frank Ridgely Benton, Jr., of Highland Park, Ill., and Lloyd M. Goodman of Norfolk, Va. Given annually by the Gamma of Vir- ginia chapter, the award goes to the sophomore with the highest scholastic average for the first three semesters of his college career. Because of their almost identical records, both Benton and Good- man were selected for the award this year. The award, established in 1955, con- sists of a cash prize of $25 to be used by the recipient for the purchase of books for his personal library. Appropriate book plates are inscribed indicating the signi- ficance of the award. The purpose of the award is to en- Courage scholastic endeavor among un- dergraduates during their first years. Woodrow Wilson Scholars Two Washington and Lee seniors and an alumnus are among 1,153 persons who have been named Woodrow Wilson De- signates by the Woodrow Wilson Na- tional Fellowship Foundation. They are seniors Gary H. Dobbs, III, of Birmingham, Ala., and Marvin C. Hen- berg of Laramie, Wyo., and an alumnus, the Rev. Charles M. Swezey of Lexington. Swezey, who is assistant minister of Lex- ington Presbyterian Church, was graduat- ed from Washington and Lee in 1957. They are among the “intellectually promising” students whose names have been sent by the foundation to all gradu- ate school deans in the United States with the recommendation that they receive fel- lowship awards from the graduate schools. Woodrow Wilson Designates were se- lected from a field of approximately 12,- 000 nominated for the honor by more than 800 colleges and universities. All in- dicated they plan to follow a career in college teaching. Dobbs, who is majoring in biology, has been an Honor Roll and Dean’s List stu- dent at W&L. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Phi Eta Sigma, frater- nities recognizing scholastic excellence. He has been a Research Scholar in the Robert E. Lee Research Program. Henberg, who is majoring in philoso- phy and English, currently serves as presi- dent of the student body. Also an Honor Roll and Dean’s List student, he has serv- ed as vice president of Omicron Delta Kappa and president of Phi Eta Sigma. He has been a dormitory counselor, chairman of the Student Curriculum Com- mittee, and a contributor to Ariel, the stu- dent literary magazine. After receiving his B.A. degree, Swe- zey earned the Bachelor of Divinity de- gree from Union Theological Seminary in Richmond in 1961, and the Master of Sacred ‘Theology degree from Yale Divin- ity School in 1962. In 1968-69, he won a Danforth Campus Ministry Grant and was appointed a Research Fellow at Yale Divinity School. OAS Problem-Solving About 100 students from 10 colleges and universities took the problems of American countries as their own during a conference at Washington and Lee on Mar. 13-14. The event was the second Model Or- ganization of American States (OAS), a program which simulated _ situations found on the floor of the real OAS. Serving as General Secretariat for the Model OAS was the Political Science Club and International Relations As- sociation of Washington and Lee. All sessions were held at the University Cen- ter. Participating delegations included George Washington University, repre- senting Argentina; Hollins College, rep- resenting Bolivia, Trinidad, and Tobago; Randolph-Macon Woman’s College, rep- resenting Brazil; Manhattanville College, representing Chile; Salem College, rep- resenting Ecuador; East Carolina Uni- versity, representing Mexico; Mary Wash- ington College, representing Peru; the Washington and Lee Young Republicans, representing the United States; and Mary Baldwin College, representing Venezuela. All other delegations consisted of Wash- ington and Lee students. Delegates heard remarks by Joseph Romanelli, an information officer serving in the Office of Public Affairs for the Latin American Bureau of the Depart- ment of State, and Commander Richard W. Anderson, USN, who is assigned to the Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff as mili- tary secretary to the United States dele- gations, Inter-American Defense Board (I-ADB). The idea behind the Model OAS is to help students understand the inter- relationships of the American countries by considering the nations’ problems ‘and ways to solve them, according to John Motsinger, a senior from Roaring Gap, N.C. Motsinger, who served as Secretary- General of the Model OAS, noted that the session has grown since its founding here last year. The 1969 session drew some 75 participants from seven colleges, and no speakers were on the program. Simulation, or “gaming,” has become an increasingly popular extracurricular, educational pursuit with some Washing- ton and Lee students in recent years. Last year, a joint delegation of Washing- ton and Lee and_ Randolph-Macon Woman’s College students won three na- tional awards for model simulation (two at a National Model OAS at George Washington, one at the National Model United Nations in New York), more awards than any other college delega- tion in the nation, according to Mot- singer. 10: CAMPUS Professor Robert Stewart composed a requiem from a poem. Asian Inspiration The poetry of a Buddhist monk in South Vietnam provided the inspiration for a Washington and Lee professor’s ori- ginal composition for orchestra, “A Re- quiem for a Soldier,” that was performed by the Albany, N.Y., Symphony Orchestra on Feb. 10. Professor Robert Stewart, whose works have been performed widely throughout the country, said the idea for his “Re- quiem” came originally from reading the words of Thich Nhat Hanh in the New York Times book review section about three years ago. “His dynamic texts stayed with me for several years and the compulsion to ex- press them in music resulted in composing the “Requiem.” This is not a requiem in the usual sense. It is more a feeling or dedication to the men in battle. Its pur- pose is to stir our conscience to do some- thing about human slaughter and depriva- tion,” Stewart commented. The inspiring lines of Thich Nhat Hanh, who at that time was director of the School for Social Studies in Saigon, were as follows: “I feel I am like that bird which dies for the sake of its mate, Dripping blood from its broken beak, and crying out: “Beware! Turn around to face your real enemies— Ambition, violence, hatred, greed.” And from ‘Peace’; “They woke me this morning To tell me my brother had been killed in battle. Yet in the garden, uncurling moist petals, A new rose blooms on the bush And I am alive, can still breathe the fragrance of roses and dung, Eat, pray, and sleep. But when can I break my long sil- ence? When can I speak the muttered words that are choking me?” Stewart’s composition, which he com- pleted Jan. 29, 1969, was performed by the Albany Symphony Orchestra conduct- ed by Julius Hegyi. Costs of materials and reproduction for the composition were covered by a Glenn Grant from Washington and Lee, Stewart noted. Stewart has had his chamber and or- chestral works performed through the United States by the Atlanta Symphony, Berkshire Symphony, Washington and Lee Symphony, New York Brass Quintet, Darian Woodwind Quintet, Music in Our Time, Group for Contemporary Music of Columbia University, Composers Forum of New York, the Iowa String Quartet, and others. His recordings include two records of music for brass by Golden Crest, and his String Quartet No. 3 is to be released this spring by Composer Recordings, Inc. and to be performed by the Iowa String Quar- tet. Made In America Washington and Lee was the only in- stitution of higher education in the Unit- ed States to have work by its students dis- played in a recent art exhibition in Osaka, Japan. I-Hsiung Ju, the University’s artist-in- residence, said that private schools from all over the world were invited to exhibit in the show, sponsored by the Osaka Pri- vate School Art Society. The drawings from Washington and Lee were by Langdon C. Quin, a senior from Atlanta, Ga.; William Chris Bauer, a junior from Largo, Fla.; and David R. Katz, a senior from Chagrin Falls, Ohio. Quin’s work included pencil and watercolor drawings of a broken axle and a lantern study. Bauer’s drawings were brush and ink figure sketches. Katz con- tributed an oil of autumn leaves. Also shown were color woodcuts by Ju, an internationally-known artist, of a stone wall and a snow scene. NSF Grant For Research Washington and Lee has been award- ed a $5,600 grant by the National Science Foundation to be used by the department of chemistry for undergraduate research. Dr. J. Keith Shillington, professor of chemistry, will direct the project, assisted by other members of the department. Under the program, stipends are pro- vided students to participate in research projects at the University during the summer. The program is aimed at stu- dents who intend to continue their edu- cation in graduate school, but it is not limited to them, nor is it limited to stu- dents enrolled at Washington and Lee, according to Dr. William J. Watt, as- sociate dean of the College. The funds are used for operating ex- penses, laboratory equipment, and the payment of salaries. Washington and Lee has had at least one National Science Foundation pro- ject in effect now every year since 1963. Freshman Camp Moved Washington and Lee has decided to end its 38-year-old Freshman Camp in favor of an on-campus orientation pro- gram geared to the academic needs of freshmen. Freshman Camp has been held at Na- tural Bridge, located 14 miles south of the Lexington campus. ‘Lewis G. John, dean of students, said that two primary reasons existed for mov- ing freshman orientation from Natural Bridge to the campus: @ Adoption of the new curriculum by the faculty. The curriculum, to become ef- fective with the 1970-71 academic year, will give students increased freedom of choice in course selection. It was felt that an orientation stressing the curriculum choices could best be held on campus where teachers and buildings are more readily available. @ Adoption by the faculty of a de- ferred rush system for fraternities. Since Rush Week no longer will be held be- fore the first semester begins, the need to take freshmen away from campus to shelter them from fraternity rush no longer exists. Dean John said that final plans for the new orientation program are still in the formative stage. Freshman Camp was one of many in- novations put into effect by Frank J. Gil- liam, long-time dean of students and now dean emeritus and adviser to the presi- dent. The camp was widely hailed as a diverse program introducing freshmen to the work, recreation, friendships, tradi- tions, and ideals of Washington and Lee in an informal, relaxed atmosphere. Two Societies Elect r4 Thirteen Washington and Lee stu- dents and an instructor have been elected to two honor societies in the School of Commerce, Economics, and Politics. Beta Gamma Sigma, a national honor society that recognizes outstanding achievement by students of commerce and business administration, has selected six new members. They include Hugh Buckler Guill, a senior from Washington, D.C.; Roger Scott Martin, a senior from Jacksonville, Fla.; Martin Frederick Schmidt, Jr., a senior from Louisville, Ky.; James Mit- chell Smith, a senior from Wynnewood, Pa.; Stephan Fredrick Weiss, a senior from Montpelier, Vt.; and James Finney Easterlin, a junior from Montezuma, Ga. Omicron Delta Epsilon, a national honor society that recognizes outstanding academic achievement by economics majors, has selected seven seniors and a faculty member. They are John Henry Crockett, Jr., from Wytheville, Va.; Charles Asbury Holt, Jr., from Blacksburg, Va.; John Moody Kefauver, Jr., from San Antonio, Texas; Henry Wise Kelly, III, from Fair- fax, Va.; Reeve Withrow Kelsey, from Toledo, Ohio; Lawrence Hendry Morri- son, from Houston, Texas; Robert Powel Trout, from Roanoke, Va.; and Frederick John Nowak, a Washington and Lee in- structor in commerce. A joint initiation will be held at a later date by the two societies. Dr. Charles F. Phillips, Jr., is president of both or- ganizations, and Dr. Thomas E. Ennis, Jr., is secretary-treasurer. Faculty Adopts New Rules The faculty has adopted new policies on student class attendance and student eligibility to participate in extracurricu- lar activities. Both new policies will become effective in September, with the start of the 1970- 71 academic year. The faculty’s new attendance policy will replace in September all past Univer- sity-wide policies on absences with a state- ment making student attendance in classes or laboratories a matter between the student and the professor in that class or laboratory. The statement reads: “A student’s participation in the work of a course is clearly a precondition of his receiving credit in that course. Because of the wide variety of courses and teach- ing methods at Washington and Lee, the University recognizes that the nature of a student’s participation in the work of a course cannot be prescribed on a Uni- CAMPUS <1 versity-wide basis. For this reason, class- room attendance is not a matter subject to regulation by the University. A stu- dent’s attendance in class and laboratory is rather a matter between him and the professor in that class or laboratory.” Current regulations, which stay in ef- fect through the current academic year, give the privilege of self-determination of class attendance, with certain excep- tions, to the following: students on the Dean’s List, students with junior or senior class standing, and freshmen and sopho- mores in junior-senior courses. The new eligibility rule for students on academic probation, which will also not be effective until September, was rec- ommended by the Student Affairs Com- mittee. It states: “Students on academic probation are academically eligible to participate in no more than one student extracurricular activity—athletic or non-athletic—during the period of their probation. This rul- ing shall apply to intercollegiate athletics, managerial staffs of all teams _partici- pating in intercollegiate athletics, musi- cal and dramatic organizations, editorial and business staffs of publications, and to intercollegiate debating.” Under the existing policy, which re- mains in effect through the current aca- demic year, students on academic proba- tion are not eligible to participate in in- tercollegiate athletics, intramural athle- tics, musical and dramatic organizations, editorial and business staffs of publica- tions, and intercollegiate debating. Under the policy to start with the 1970-71 year, eligibility requirements for participation in intramural athletics will be abolished. Henberg Wins Danforth Senior Marvin C. Henberg has won a Danforth Graduate Fellowship for advanc- ed study for the Ph.D. degree, the Dan- forth Foundation of St. Louis, Mo. has announced. Henberg is president of the student body at Washington and Lee. The fellowship provides tuition and living expenses for up to four years of study in preparation for a career of col- lege teaching. Henberg was nominated for the fellowship by the University. More than 1,900 college seniors from colleges and universities throughout the United States competed for the 107 fel- lowships awarded this year. ‘of the late Mr. of Richmond ew ; ts _ =< 0 ee Oo ae —s-- Deere eee eS ew eee ey ome Te *“S Se . er Soe ee : BS rs 37 =e So ee ee Ae, ee i et 7 _ noted. “It comes at a time when addi- tions to financial aid programs are needed badly by institutions of higher learning. This generous gift is especially important because it represents one of the largest additions to our financial assistance pro- grams in recent years. It is also of great significance because it establishes at Wash- ington and Lee an entirely new scholar- ship fund.” The Gooch family has close ties with Washington and Lee. Several members of both the late Mr. Gooch and Mrs. Gooch’s families are graduates of the Uni- versity. $x Million Gift The University has been named the recipient of a charitable remainder trust currently valued at approximately $1 million, President Huntley has an- nounced. The estate of stocks and bonds was left by Mrs. Mary Hudson Floyd of Pitts- burgh, Pa., who died Aug. 30, 1969. According to her four-page, hand- written will, the residue of the estate is to come to Washington and Lee after the death of Mrs. Floyd’s daughter, Mrs. Harriet L. McCaskey of Pittsburgh, Pa., to establish the S. Leslie Mestrezat Schol- arship Fund. Individual student scholarships will be awarded up to $2,000 per academic year by the terms of Mrs. Floyd’s will. The fund will be in honor of Mrs. Floyd’s uncle, Mr. Justice S. Leslie Mes- trezat of Greene Country, Pa., an 1871 graduate of Washington and Lee. He served as a justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. “We are grateful for this significant help to Washington and Lee in the im- portant area of student scholarship aid,” President Huntley remarked. “This is a fine example of what is possible through careful estate planning in the way of much-needed aid to the cause of higher education.” Mrs. Floyd’s will also bequeathed 510,000 to the Associate Alumnae of Vassar College, and stated that she had already created a scholarship fund for Waynesburg College.

The gift was presented by Willard H. “Bud” Keland of Racine, Wis. A 194] graduate of the University, Keland pre- viously gave $8,500 toward the new gym, which should be constructed within the next two years. Keland, a former managing partner of the Miami Dolphins professional football team, currently heads the Wisconsin River Development Corp. of Racine. Un- der his direction, the corporation is de- veloping a multi-million-dollar sports, re- sort, and residential community expected eventually to cover some 4,000 acres of Wisconsin hill country surrounding Talie- sin, the famed home of the late archi- tectural genius Frank Lloyd Wright. Much of the work is being done under basic plans originally drawn by Wright. “Washington and Lee is extremely fortunate to have among its alumni men who, like Bud Keland, remain aware of the University’s needs and loyal to the University’s ideals,” President Huntley said. “Mr. Keland’s support of Washing- ton and Lee has been significant over the years.” “This gift will be a big boost to us in efforts to provide modern indoor facilities to support our broad program of 12 in- tercollegiate sports and extensive intra- mural and physical education programs,” Eugene F. Corrigan, Washington and Lee athletic director commented. Keland is a former vice president for corporate public relations of S. C. John- son & Son, the wax manufacturing firm. He holds a master’s degree in business administration from the University of Chicago. The Doremus Gym addition will ap- proximately triple existing usable floor space—from a current 40,000 square feet to about 120,000 square feet. Total cost is expected to be nearly $3 million. Turner Invited to Eclipse Dr. Edward F. Turner, Jr., professor of physics at Washington and Lee, was one of 100 selected teachers of astronomy in the nation’s colleges to attend the Solar Eclipse Conference March 6-7 at East Carolina University in Greenville, N.C. The conference, supported by a Na- tional Science Foundation grant, coincid- ed with the total solar eclipse March 7. The campus of East Carolina was located within two miles of the central line of totality. Only one more total solar eclipse will be seen in the United States during this century, and that will be on Feb. 26, 1979 in the state of Washington. 14: DEVELOPMENT Final Provisions of Last Year's Tax Reform Act Shouldn’t Handicap Financial Future of Institutions Throughout most of last year, educa- tors watched with increasing anxiety the unfolding of the Tax Reform Act of 1969 in Congress. Nearly all heads of private institutions considered the pro- visions of the House-passed version to be a threat to the financial survival of their institutions. President Huntley of Wash- ington and Lee, speaking for the Associa- tion of Independent Colleges in Virginia, testified in September, 1969 before the Senate Finance Committee, urging strong- ly that the provisions severely restrict- ing charitable gifts be altered or deleted. Because of the efforts of college presi- dents such as President Huntley and or- ganizations such as the American Alumni Council, the American College Public Relations Association, and the American Council on Education, the tax bill as passed and signed by President Nixon does not particularly jeopardize philan- thropic support of Washington and Lee and other educational institutions. In fact, some of its provisions are more beneficial than the old law. Consequently, a donor should not hesitate to follow any means of making a gift to Washington and Lee—either on a direct or deferred basis—for in all prob- ability the Tax Reform Act has not rendered the chosen method less effective for the donor or the University. An ex- ception is the old procedure of the “Bar- gain Sale’ that is now virtually ineffec- tive from the donor’s tax standpoint. Washington and Lee’s Office of De- velopment has more complete informa- tion on the Tax Reform Act of 1969 in booklet form which is available to any alumnus or friend. For this information, write to: Farris Hotchkiss, Director of Development, Washington and Lee Uni- versity, Lexington, Virginia 24 450. The following was excerpted from a summary of the provisions of the tax bill prepared for the American Council on Education by John Holt Myers of Wil- liams, Myers, & Quiggle, Washington, D.C.:: The President has signed into law the Tax Reform Act of 1969 in the form agreed to by the conferees between the House and the Senate and passed by both bodies. Although there are a number of provisions which will affect colleges and universities directly and indirectly, the final version achieves Congress’s drive for reform without imposing unreason- able burdens on such entities, CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS Charitable contributions will not be affected by the minimum tax on “prefer- ence income” included in the Act. ‘The conferees, in effect, rejected the House version of the minimum tax which includ- ed a limit on tax preference and required allocation of deductions. In its place was substituted the Senate minimum tax on certain specified items of “preference in- come.” Because unrealized and untaxed appreciation in property contributed to colleges, and similiar en- tities is not included as an item of “pre- ference income,’ contributions of ap- preciated property will not be subject to the minimum tax. universities, LIMITATION ON INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTIONS Although the Act increases from 30 to 50 per cent of adjusted gross income the limit on contributions to colleges, churches, and similar entities made by individuals, this increase is circumscribed in such a way as to apply only to indivi- duals making gifts which consist entirely of cash. Thus, its effect will be minimal indeed. Where a donor contributes ap- preciated property or appreciated prop- erty and cash, the limit will remain at 30 per cent not only for the initial year but also for the years to which the excess contributions will be carried over. With respect to excess contributions made in 1969 and prior years, the statute would appear to provide that they may be car- ried over to 1970 and later years, regard- less of the nature of the original gift. In substance, they will be treated as cash contributions in subsequent years and subject to the 50 per cent limitation rather than the 30 per cent limitation ap- plicable in the year of the gift. For most major donors, who by necessity make their gifts in the form of appreciated property, the 30 per cent limitation of the present law will continue to apply. GIFTS OF APPRECIATED PROPERTY The present rules are retained with respect to gifts of long-term capital gain property to colleges, universities, and similar entities. This means that the donor of real property, securities, art ob- jects, and remainder interests in prop- erty (other than tangible personalty) which, if sold, would give rise to long- term capital gain will be entitled to de- duct the fair market value without in- cluding the unrealized appreciation in income. (A special rule applies in the case of gifts of tangible personal property if it is unrelated to the “purpose or func- tion constituting the basis for’ the donee’s exemption.) In the case of gifts of such long-term capital asset property to a priv- ate foundation, the donor will be requir- ed to reduce his gift by one-half of the unrealized gain (6242 per cent in the case of a corporation). The principal abuse inherent in the gift of appreciated prop- erty has been eliminated by limiting a donor of property which, if sold, would give rise to ordinary income (regardless of the donee institution) to a deduction only for his cost or basis in the property. The tax advantages of the so-called bargain sale are eliminated as of gifts made on and after Dec. 19, 1969 by re- quiring that the donor allocate a portion of his basis to the gift property, and, therefore, pay a tax on the portion of the gain attributable to the proceeds re- ceived. UNLIMITED DEDUCTION The unlimited deduction available to those few individuals who have qualified substantial contributions over a period of 10 years will be phased out over a five-year period after which all contributions will be governed by the general limitations. by making GIFTS OF AN INCOME INTEREST IN PROPERTY OR THE USE OF PROPERTY To all intents and purposes, donors will no longer be entitled to a deduction for the gift of an income interest in prop- erty or for the gift of a use of or a par- tial interest in property. This limitation will not apply to the gift of a remainder interest in a personal residence or farm or the gift of an undivided portion of a donor’s entire interest in property. The Conference Report makes it clear that the gift of an open space easement “in gross” is to be considered as a gift of an undi- vided interest in property where the easement is in perpetuity. In the case of a gift of a remainder interest in a farm or residence, the deduction will be based on the assumption of a six per cent return and depreciation on a straight-line basis must be taken into account. By the same token, a donor will be taxable on the in- come of a trust which is set aside for the benefit of a charitable less than 10 years. institution for CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITIES AND GIFTS OF REMAINDER INTERESTS The tax treatment of charitable gift annuities would not appear to be affected by the Act except as the bargain sale pro- vision may apply. The funding of such annuity gifts with property may be con- sidered such a “bargain sale” giving rise to a gains tax on the difference between the value of the retained annuity and the reduced basis allocated thereto. Effective July 31, no gift of a re- mainder interest will qualify for a de- duction unless made to a “pooled in- come fund” or in the form of a “chari- table remainder unitrust” or a “charitable remainder annuity trust,” all of which are narrowly defined in the statute. The charitable remainder unitrust and the charitable remainder annuity trust will be nontaxable entities. The pooled in- come fund will be taxable but only to the extent of ordinary or short-term income realized. The “pooled income fund’ cannot hold tax exempt securities, must consist only of similar gifts, must be maintained by the donee institution, and the taxable income payable to the beneficiary or beneficiaries must be determined by the rate of return earned by the fund in the year of payment to the beneficiary. The charitable contribution deduction will be based upon the highest rate of return realized by the fund in the three years prior to the gift or, in the case of a new fund, on an assumed six per cent return. To meet the tests of a “charitable re- mainder annuity trust,” the instrument must require payment of a certain sum annually to the beneficiaries which is not less than five per cent of the initial net fair market value of the property placed in the trust. The “charitable remainder unitrust” must require payment annually of a fixed percentage (which is not less than five per cent) of the net fair market value of the assets valued annually. The instrument may provide that only the in- come will be paid if it is less than the per- centage and that, if the income exceeds the percentage, it can be paid to the extent that the income in prior years was less than the fixed percentage. Charitable con- tributions to the charitable remainder or charitable remainder unitrust will be valued on the basis of the required percentage which, as indi- cated above, must not be less than five per cent. The beneficiary or beneficiaries of the “pooled income fund,” the “chari- table remainder annuity trust” or the “charitable remainder unitrust” must be living at the time of the creation of the trust. Gifts of remainder interests will not qualify for estate and gift tax de- duction unless they are in the form of a “charitable remainder annuity trust unitrust” or 3 "ng zZarte +? 7 - SEASON RECORD WeL Opp. High Scorer Top Rebounder Assists ‘ 56 Randolph-Macon 57 Neer 17 Neer 17 Daniel 6 102 Bridgewater 87 Daniel 28 3 with 7 Cartwright 7 er 84 Rollins 62 Daniel 25, Neer 18 Cartwright, Morrison 6 66 Lynchburg 49 Neer 21 Neer 16 Rhyne, Gutshall 4 6 86 Hampden-Sydney 56 Cartwright 25 Cartwright 22 Cartwright 10 71 Lehigh 85 Cartwright 20 Neer 14 Cartwright, Daniel 4 = 67 Alma 59 Cartwright 19 Daniel 14 Cartwright, Daniel 5 g1 Centre 78 Neer 18 Neer 16 Gutshall 7 Ms 73 Wofford 63 Cartwright 25 Cartwright 16 Cartwright 7 83 Va.

Instead, Canfield sent in assistant coach Tom Davies to relay a message that the game plan would be the responsibility of the players themselves. No word for word, detailed thing; just think up something over steak and a baked potato that can beat Virginia Commonwealth. “So we discussed it over dinner,” said team captain Norwood Morrison. ‘‘We didn’t need a scouting report, because we had played them earlier in the year (a 90-83 loss on VCU’s home court). We knew what they had. “Mostly we talked about defense, the problem area up to that point. We felt the only way we were going to snap out of the slump was to play a good defensive game, and, in order to prove to ourselves we could play good defense, we decided to g§0 man-to-man all the way.” That decision was a risky one, indeed, for the Generals are not a man-to-man team. Rather, Washington and _ Lee Specializes in a match-up defense, which is basically a zone that permits one or two defenders to go to the ball, thus ap- pearing to be a man-to-man in those in- stances, When the Generals came out on the Center Mike Neer works on Old Dominion— he scored 32 points and grabbed 29 rebounds. floor, the defensive tactic was unsettled for a while, during Virginia Common- wealth’s early attempt to run-and-shoot Washington and Lee into a hole. But Morrison, at guard, got things calmed down later on in the first half, and the Generals eased into a one-point lead, 39- 38, at halftime. Whatever it was during the intermis- sion—whether it was the fact that it was the last home game of the season, whether it was the last home court appearance for seniors Morrison, Cartwright, Neer, and Fauber, or whether the importance of the game started to come across—something picked the team up. For five and a half minutes into the second half, Washington and Lee con- tinued to steady itself, finally developing an eight point lead at the 14:30 mark when Canfield put in the four-cornered offense during a time out. And from that point on, the season was salvaged. Although the Generals didn’t make it to the NCAA regionals, they did re- ceive a number of individual honors. Both Cartwright and Neer were named to the AllCAC team, with Cartwright earning the tourney’s MVP award. And both were selected to the All-Virginia small college honor squad. Cartwright, ad- ditionally, was placed on the Little AII- America honorable mention team. Cartwright, with a 17.5-point average, led the team in scoring. He finished with 11.9 rebounds a game, and averaged close to five assists per game. His .569 floor shooting percentage was among the na- tion’s best. Neer averaged 17.4 points a game, and was a national leader in rebounding with a tremendous 16.1 figure per game. His incredible night was against Old Domi- nion, when he scored 32 points and col- lected 29 rebounds. Cartwright and Neer graduate, of course, as do Morrison and Fauber, the quartet that led the Generals to a four- year 74-24 won-loss record, including those three conference titles. Now that they're gone, it is interesting to speculate just how well Washington and Lee is going to fare in the years ahead. Will 6-7 freshman Paul McClure be able to take over Neer’s spot at center? Will there be another Cartwright (there will be, if his brother Mark, now in high school in Martinsville, decides to come to Washington and Lee)? Will the beefed- up schedule, including Yale, Clemson, and Virginia, be too much, too soon? Will the new gym, once completed, eliminate that dreaded home-court advantage the Generals always enjoyed in old Doremus? A. Yes B. No C. Maybe D. None of the above. 18: ATHLETICS Washington and Lee All-America defenseman Ned Coslett. North-South Lacrosse Game To Be Held Here June 13 When Washington and Lee undertook to host the 29th annual North-South All- Star Lacrosse Game, featuring the best senior players in the country, it knew it faced a promotion effort that would tax the best Madison Avenue professional. It’s because lacrosse is still relatively unknown around the Lexington area. While the Generals have fielded a team since 1938 (and now neighboring VMI has taken up the sport), it is still pretty much of a mystery to the local folk. They simply have not taken to the game. What makes the promotional effort even more difficult is the fact that neither Washington and Lee nor VMI will be in session when the game is held on June 13. It means the crowd will have to come from among the local townspeople and interested alumni, plus many “imports” from areas like Baltimore, where lacrosse is perhaps the most popular sport. In this connection, the University has joined forces with the local chamber of commerce and retail merchants and other groups to do a real selling job. The Lexington Jaycees have taken on promotion of the game as a special pro- ject. They started a ticket-selling cam- paign April 1. The Lexington Retail Merchants Association has agreed to en- dorse the game wholeheartedly, and will feature it and each of the game’s players in window displays, welcoming banners, and so on. Washington and Lee art students are part of the act, too. Through a special contest, they will design the game’s pro- gram cover. Runner-up entries will be lithographed and used as posters around town to promote the event. The U.S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse As- sociation, which sponsors the game, likes to move it around every year, one time placing it in a hotbed lacrosse area and another time putting it in an area where lacrosse is relatively new or unknown in an effort to give the fast-growing sport more widespread exposure. The USILA is well aware of the fact that its chances for a profit are slim when it does this. That’s why Washington and Lee, par- ticularly head lacrosse coach Dick Szlasa, wants to at least break even, to show the USILA that the University and the Lex- ington community can support and be en- thusiastic about this event. “To my knowledge, this will be the biggest athletic attraction ever held in Lexington,” said Szlasa. ‘““There will be hundreds of out-of-towners coming to the game, and they'll watch the best players in the country. Athletes from Army, Navy, Johns Hopkins, Virginia—the best lacrosse teams in the nation—will be here.” Each of the North-South teams will in- clude 26 players, plus a staff of coaches and trainers. Szlasa likened the event to the equi- valent of a four-day convention and the effect it would have on the local economy. Besides the all-star game itself, there will be a number of other activities during the week, including the All-America reception and dinner when the 1970 All-America se- lections and many past All-America play- ers will be honored. Additionally, the players and coaches and other lacrosse officials will be enter- tained at an old fashioned Virginia bar- becue dinner, while through the Lexing- ton-Rockbridge County Chamber of Com- merce, the University has arranged a special tour of historic and scenic Lexing- ton. The week’s activities also include plans for a reunion of all former Wash- ington and Lee lacrosse players. A recep- tion and dinner is scheduled for them Saturday night following the game. Washington and Lee first began play- ing lacrosse on a club basis in 1938, and in 1947 was one of the first schools to join the USILA. Since that initial begin- ning, the Generals have placed over 25 men on the All-America teams, including goalies Bill Clements, a first-team selec. tion in 1950, and Jim Lewis, named to the first team in 1958. Attackman ‘Tommy Tongue made All-America three years (1947-48-50), once on the second team and twice on the third team. Goalie Ray Mil- ler was chosen for the second team in 1962, and four other players have been third team picks—defenseman Bill Pacy in 1949, goalie Fletcher Lowe in 1954, defenseman Dick Johnson in 1955, and defenseman Ned Coslett in 1969. There have been numerous honorable mention All-Americas from Washington and Lee. Coslett, this year’s co-captain along with midfielder Jay Meriwether, received an additional honor by having his picture selected for the cover of the 1970 Official Lacrosse Guide published by the NCAA. And the Generals have placed at least one man nearly every year on the South squad for the North-South classic. Since the sport was begun at Washington and Lee, the Generals have sent over 30 men to the honor event. Lacrosse has taken on an international flavor. In 1956, the Washington and Lee lacrosse team toured England for a sum- mer series of games in which it won all but one of nine contests. In 1959, a com- bined Washington and Lee-Virginia team made a similar tour of Australia. The University has been host to touring Eng- lish lacrosse teams on several occasions. Lacrosse is one of the most popular spring sports on the Washington and Lee campus. Each season, more than 50 candi- dates report to Szlasa, a former All-Ameri- ca midfielder at the University of Mary- land. He has initiated a number of in- novations in the lacrosse program at the University since joining the staff in 1967, including a freshman “B” team and fall lacrosse workouts—the opposite of foot- ball’s “spring practice”—highlighted by a scrimmage against a formidable op- ponent. Szlasa is assisted by Athletic Director Gene Corrigan, who coached lacrosse at Washington and Lee and Virginia. Corri- gan twice has been head coach for the South squad in past all-star games, and on three other occasions was an assistant coach, Tickets for the game, to be held on Wilson Field at 1:30 p.m. on June 13, are 52.50 for adults and $1.25 for students and children. They are available by mail from the North-South Game Committee, Doremus Gymnasium, Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Virginia, 24450. Checks should be made payable to 29th North-South Game. Brumback All-America Junior freestyler Bill Brumback has won All-America recognition for the sec- ond consecutive year, this time earning the honor at the NCAA college division swimming championships held at Oakland University in Rochester, Mich., on March 19-21. Brumback finished 10th out of 47 con- testants in the 50-yard freestyle, his time of :22.4 just two-tenths of a second slower than the winning time. In NCAA swim- ming competition, the first 12 finishers at the awarded All- America status. national finals are Brumback also was entered in the 100- ATRAILEVICS 319 yard freestyle event, but finished 17th among a field of 52 entries, with a time of :49.7.

Clark, entered in the 100- and 200-yard butterfly, and Corwith, going in the 100- and 200-yard freestyle, failed to make the top 12 in each of their events. other Washington To qualify for the national champion- ships, a swimmer must equal a minimum time in a specific event during the regular season.

Sophomore Bim Clark (left) and freshman Alan Corwith also qualified for the nationals. 40: PEOPLE The Model Executive “John F. Watlington, Jr., is the model of a model corporate executive.” So begins a profile of the 58-year-old president of Wachovia Bank & Trust Co. in a recent issue of the Winston-Salem Journal and Sentinel. Watlington graduated from Washing- ton and Lee in 1933, valedictorian and Phi Beta Kappa. He joined Wachovia that same year as a trainee at a salary of $50 a month. Twenty-three years later, in 1956, he became the bank’s chief exe- cutive officer. Since then Wachovia’s re- sources have risen from $446 million to $1.63 billion. It has grown from an operation with 20 offices in six North Carolina cities to one now having 120 ofhices in 43 of the state’s cities and towns. Wachovia today is the 39th largest—out of some 14,000—commercial banks in the country, and the largest in the Southeast. And Watlington’s associates say, “Make no mistake about it, John runs this bank.” The profile deals with the twin ques- tions: “Just who is this man?” and “What makes him tick?” Items: “Besides his responsibilities to the bank, Watlington regularly undertakes extracurricular activities which are im- pressive to the point of being frighten- ing. An abbreviated list of his activities: In 1963 he headed a $7-million fund campaign for the Bowman Gray School of Medicine. He presently heads the $30- million expansion program of the Wake Forest University Medical Center and a $1.2-million campaign of the First Pres- byterian Church, where he is a deacon. He sits on the boards of eight corpora- tions of the size of the Georgia-Pacific Co. and the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co. He has been president of the Chamber of Commerce in both Char- lotte and Winston-Salem, and _ helped organize Charlotte’s United Fund and the Carolina’s United, a state-level Unit- ed Fund agency. He is a past president of the N.C. Citizens Association, a regional vice chairman of the National Municipal League, and a past regional chairman of the National Conference of Christians and Jews. He is on the board of the N.C. Foundation of Church-Related Colleges, the Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges, and has served on the boards of eight educational ventures as varied as the Asheville School for Boys, David- John F. Watlington, Jr. son College, and the Union Theological Seminary in Richmond. The profile continues: “Because of the sheer size of his self-imposed work load he has had to organize time in a most careful manner. Asked about this, Watlington says that he observes two rules: (1) plan each day’s program in de- tail and (2) live one day at a time.” Said an associate: “John is so well organized that he can get more done in 15 minutes than most men can do in three hours.” He is a master at delegating respon- sibility. He features on his desk a small plaque that reads: “There is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he doesn’t mind who gets the credit.” “As an executive,” the profile con- tinues, “Watlington not only lets his as- sociates get credit, he also insists that they earn it. The heads of the Wachovia offices and the heads of the bank’s major departments are given the authority to do their job, and they are expected to do the job on their own.” His associates agree that he has a tre- mendous sensitivity to people. One said: “Busy as he always is, when you are with John you have the impression that he has all the time in the world and that your concerns are his concerns.” Another said: “John Watlington is so tuned in on peo- ple that he can sense a personnel prob- lem before it really becomes a problem.” Another associate, adding a “‘detail in the profile of a thoroughly organized man,” said: “When John takes on an as- signment he gives it all the time that is required and he goes at the job with dynamic, tough-minded tenacity. He keeps asking ‘What’s next?’ until the job is done.” In 1969, Watlington was initiated into honorary membership by the Washington and Lee circle of Omicron Delta Kappa. His son, John F. Watlington, III, is a sophomore at Washington and Lee. An Original Coed When Miss Alta Fowler purchased a book at the Washington and Lee Book- store recently, Mrs. Betty Munger, the Bookstore’s manager, gave her a 10 per cent discount in accordance with the store’s policy toward alumni and alumnae. Alumnae? How could that be? Washington and Lee is widely known as a school that has been all-male through its 221-year history. But a little-known fact is that the University accepted a limited number of women for credit work during summer sessions in 1942 and 1943 in the midst of World War II, a lean time for higher educational institutions. Miss Fowler, who currently serves as American Consul at the American Em- bassy in Brussels, Belgium, was one of the original coeds. She recalls being one of four in 1942, and one of a slightly larger number the following year. Most were from local families. Miss Fowler was mildly amused to find the issue of coeducation to be a raging controversy at Washington and Lee. ““The administration was just trying to keep the school open during the war,” she com- mented, “so they let us enroll. “I think everybody tried to forget about it after the war,” she smiled. “I don’t think any record still exists that shows women were enrolled.” Miss Fowler transferred her Washing- ton and Lee credits to Northwestern Uni- versity where she received the B.S. degree in 1946. Four years later, she received her M.A. from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. Her work with the State Department has taken her to London, Tunis, Dacca, Dublin, Malta, and now Brussels. Although the coeds of 1942 and 1943 were allowed to take courses for credit (something which is not currently allow- ed the small number of women from the Lexington sitting in on courses today), none earned a Washington and Lee degree. Thus, full coeducation, if adopted sometime in the 1970’s, would community represent a break with an all-male past with respect to the granting of degrees. But no decision has been reached. “In some ways, it would be a shame to see tradition go by the wayside,” Miss Fowler commented. “But if you have the physical facilities to accommodate coedu- cation, it would certainly bring new in- tellectual dimensions to the classrooms. I think coeducation would increase healthy competition and diversity in the classroom. Whether women like to ad- mit it or not, they do think differently than men.” Washington and Lee has even had a dean of women, Miss Fowler recalled. During the wartime coeducational ses- sions, Mrs. Henry Shelley, wife of a Wash- ington and Lee professor, served in that capacity for the several female students. Hall’s Generosity Continues The moot court program of the School of Law is the beneficiary of the continu- ing generosity of Wilbur C. Hall, a pro- minent Leesburg, Va., attormey and a 1915 graduate of Washington and Lee. Hall recently gave $10,185 to the Uni- versity to establish a special fund for the benefit of the Burks Moot Court Com- petition, a program that trains law stu- dents in the kind of legal preparation for which Hall is legend. Hall, during more than 50 years of law practice, earned the reputation of being “the best prepared lawyer before the bar of any court in Virginia.” Several years ago, Hall donated $10,- 000 to the School of Law to establish a loan fund for deserving law students, with special preference for Virginia re- sidents. He has also been a generous con- tributor to the Alumni Fund, and was a class agent for many years, as well as a participant in many other alumni acti- vities. The Burks Moot Court Competition is named in honor of one of Hall’s teachers at Washington and Lee, the late Martin P. Burks, a dean of the School of Law. The funds provided by Hall will be used to finance the printing and distri- bution of moot court team briefs and to meet other expenses of the program. Under the program, all students are required, as part of the course in legal research, writing, and argument, to brief and argue a case before a panel of judges composed of Burks Scholars. The stu- dents who demonstrate the greatest capa- city and potential in these arguments are eligible to participate in the Burks Moot Court Competition. The four finalists in the competition then argue their case be- fore a distinguished panel of judges from the appellate courts, both state and fed- eral. The finalists are also eligible to repre- sent the school in the National Moot Court Competition and to become Burks Scholars. Hall, who recently celebrated his 78th birthday, has had a distinguished career as lawyer, legislator, and orator. He has been called “a lawyer’s lawyer” and is sometimes called “The Lawyer” by fel- low citizens in Leesburg, a measure of the respect accorded him in legal circles in Loudoun County. He represented Loudoun County in the Virginia General Assembly from 1918 to 1935 and was the author and sponsor of much farsighted legislation, including the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, legisla- tion establishing the motor vehicle depart- ment, an act establishing a central pur- chasing system, and an act making drunk- PEOPLE -21 en driving a criminal offense. He was first chairman of the Virginia Conservation Commission and made outstanding con- tributions to the development of Vir- ginia’s program of tourist promotion. Hall has had few peers as an orator. He has spoken on a wide range of sub- jects at home and throughout the state. Fifteen of the speeches have been reprint- ed in the Congressional Record. Hall has received many honors, in- cluding membership in Phi Beta Kappa at William and Mary, membership in Omicron Delta Kappa at Washington and Lee, and an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Washington and Lee in 1967. That same year the Loudoun Times- Mirror named him “Citizen of the Year.” ‘The newspaper said: “Mr. Hall’s great service to the Com- monwealth of Virginia and its citizens, as a legislator and as a leader, and to his community as a public spirited citizen, qualify him for a high place in the history of Loudoun County and Virginia.” He is also finding a high place in the history of Washington and Lee. Attorney Wilbur C. Hall of Leesburg—his generosity continues. 22; PEOPLE University Historian Dr. Ollinger Crenshaw Dies In Sleep At Age 65 On March 19 Dr. Ollinger Crenshaw, professor of history and official University historian, died at his home in his sleep on March 19 at the age of 65. He was truly an in- stitution at Washington and Lee. He was affiliated with the University for 48 years, beginning with his enrollment as a stu- dent in 1922. He recewed his A.B. de- gree in 1925 and his M.A. in 1926, both from Washington and Lee, and his Ph.D. degree from Johns Hopkins in 1945. He began teaching at Washington and Lee in 1926 and became head of the depart- ment of history in 1962. He retired as head of the department last year upon reaching the age of 65, but continued active teaching. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Marjorie Burford Crenshaw, of Lexington, and a son, Albert B. Cren- shaw, a reporter for the Washington Daily News. He was buried in Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery. Dr. Allen W. Moger, professor of history and head of the department this year, who was Dr. Crenshaw’s close friend and colleague for more than 40 years, wrote the following remembrance of Dr. Crenshaw for the Alumnus: Pe aM Until his sudden death on March 19, Ollinger Crenshaw had a distinguished career as a much loved and highly re- spected teacher of many generations of Washington and Lee students. Both in Lexington and beyond, he became pro- minent as historian, teacher, genial friend, and delightful personality and _ racon- teur. Almost 48 years ago, Ollie, a tall, shy lad from College Park near At- lanta, appeared in Lexington as a fresh- man at Washington and Lee. Already his great interests were history and tennis, and in both he would win distinction. As an undergraduate he was a leading mem- ber of the tennis team. By 1926, having acquired two degrees and a Phi Beta Kappa key from Washington and Lee, he began to teach American history at his Alma Mater. For many years before World War II, he was the University’s tennis coach—a labor of love which he as- sumed in addition to his teaching re- sponsibilities. Meanwhile he had started his gradu- ate work at the Johns Hopkins Univer- sity. Ollie’s scholarly research was con- He became prominent as historian, teacher, friend, and raconteur. centrated primarily on the period im- mediately preceding the Civil War, and his several articles which were published in the best historical journals were able and enduring contributions to scholar- ship. His Slave States in the Presidential Election of 1860 (The Johns Hopkins Press, 1945) has been a must for genera- tions of students in graduate schools all over America. Long out of print, the work was republished in 1968. However, the crowning achievement of Ollie’s career was the publication by Random House last year of General Lee’s College. This history of Washington and Lee University has been widely acclaimed for its clarity, lucidity, and wit. Several thousand copies have already been sold, and now still more alumni will wish to secure it. Ollie was always working on some piece of research. While on leave last spring he wrote us, “I am down here in South Carolina chasing a_ secessionist.’ Also, few knew that at the time of his death he was editing and had about ready for publication ‘““The College Diary of William Lyne Wilson.” Wilson had become president of Washington and Lee shortly after he retired from Cleveland’s cabinet in 1897, and his diary contains perceptive and humorous observations about the Lexington scene and the needs of the University at the turn of the cen- tury. Four decades of close friendship with Ollie Crenshaw have left me with many fond memories, some of which I am sure are shared by hundreds of others. For years as bachelors we had the same office, ate at the same table, and received the meager depression salaries. Each married and had children. There was never a break in the friendship. Memorable are the dozens of times I sought his advice or opinion; if he did not know what to advise, he always made me feel better for having discussed the problem with him. His capacity for friendship seemed without limit. His genial manner of in- terest and concern made every student a potential friend, and the number of alumni with whom he maintained close relations through the years has always amazed me. Ollie had a circle of close friends in Lexington; they will be among those who will miss him most. All will remember his keen sense of humor which was most vividly and ap- propriately revealed among friends, whether in Lexington, at a meeting of alumni, or at annual meetings of the several historical associations. His stories were always the best—told with the Cren- shaw chuckle and effective gestures and intonations of voice. The third floor of Washington Hall and all Lexington will be different without the infectious Ollie laugh. At the history meetings, Ollie prob- ably knew more people from other col- leges than anyone else. He made a point of knowing interesting people who had written good books or had delightful personalities. Many men have been in- vited to speak at Washington and Lee because he had purposely sought to learn of their abilities as historians and speakers. Among the hobbies which Ollie listed many years ago for the Washington and Lee public relations office was ‘the cur- rent American political scene.” ‘This hobby he pursued throughout his life, and it was made easy and enjoyable be- cause of his phenomenal memory. He al- ways read several newspapers, including his favorite, the daily New York Times, and during any political controversy or election he could readily identify and relate the background and role of hun- dreds of state and national figures. He never went to bed until returns from a current election were in. As a student of the Old South, during the racial contro- versy of recent years he wrote and talked about what the present South could learn from mistakes of the pre-Civil War era. Always and under all circumstances Ollie was the gentleman and _ gracious host. When I met his charming mother on a single visit to their home in Atlanta, I fully understood the origin of the good manners which impressed so many peo- ple. Tolerance was a distinct character- istic. Differences of opinion might be met by silence, by witty satire, or by sali- ent facts, but never in a disagreeable manner. His colleagues on the history faculty will always remember his tolerance and €ncouragement and his belief that each teacher should be free to use his own in- genuity to do the best job possible for his students. Academic freedom was a real thing for Ollinger Crenshaw. —Dr. ALLEN W. MOoGER Dr. Crenshaw wrote the following ar- ticle, which he entitled “The Enduring Assets of Washington and Lee,” for the 1970 Calyx. It is believed to be the last article concerning Washington and Lee that he wrote for publication. It is used here by permission of the co-editors of the Calyx, Madison F. Cole, Jr., and Tho- mas W. Clyde: It has been said that Washington and Lee is sut generis among American in- stitutions of higher learning. Although this statement was made in a well-defined and limited context, students and alumni have sometimes inquired into the factors which have made of their University something different, something perhaps rather “special”. Even a cursory examina- tion of the school’s long history reveals aspects which have distinguished it from the run-of-the-mine American college. First of all, Washington and Lee has been fortunate in its physical setting. The initial impression upon a visitor to the campus is one of serene beauty, sym- metry, and dignity, which together with the restored Lee Chapel constitutes a priceless asset. John Drinkwater, the British playwright, visiting the campus about a half-century ago, pronounced it to be the most beautiful in America. As important as all this may be, other fea- tures in the Washington and Lee story are of greater importance than the physi- cal characteristics. Beginning with General R. E. Lee’s presidency, and extending to the preseni time, students and alumni have exhibited a profound pride in their institution, in its president, its officials, its faculty, and in its students and graduates. Whenever any of these won distinction, whether in public service, in scholarship, or on the athletic field, such achievements were certain to be noted in the old Southern Collegian (now, alas! of blessed memory), in the Ring-tum Phi, or in the Calyx, with quiet but heartfelt praise. It is neces- sary to mention the devotion of “General Lee’s boys’ to their hero-president, while his son and successor, G. W. Custis Lee, though painfully retiring, was held in affection and respect by the students. To cite other examples among the Univer- sity’s presidents who won and held the admiration, affection, and loyalty of the young men were the learned and kindly William Lyne Wilson, the vigorous and efiicient George H. Denny (who like Gen- eral R. E. Lee knew each student and much about him), the high-minded ideal- ist Henry Louis Smith, and the warm- hearted, eloquent Pendleton Gaines. Pride in and enthusiasm for their youthful President Huntley is a condition of today’s campus, and is as it should be. At Washington and Lee, as a Francis PEOPLE 323 general rule, the close relationships, even warm personal friendships, that have grown up between students and _ their teachers characterize the school and dis- tinguish it from the larger mass-produc- . tion “multiversities’’. Observers have noted, too, that in some instances, graduates who have gone on to further study at other universities have compared them to Washington and Lee—and to the advantage of the latter. One need not be a chauvinist to suggest to the graduates of 1970, and of the classes ahead, that they cast a thoughtful glance at some features of Washington and Lee which have made it as great as it is and may become: pride in Alma Mater’s achievements and _ qualities, friendliness, a decency in conduct, as evidenced by the honor system, a sense of tolerance of personal and _ institutional shortcomings (tempered, it may be, by humor), together with zeal and above all, humility in the learning process. These may be preserved amidst “change” and “progress”, and lead Washington and Lee to the true greatness that is some- times demanded in our day. —Dr. OLLINGER CRENSHAW Professor, Student Killed William Wells Chaffin, associate pro- fessor of English and speech and debate coach, and Kevin R. Baker, a junior from Lynchburg, Va., died Feb. 22 of in- juries suffered in an automobile accident on Interstate 81 near Woodstock,. Va. An- other student, R. Timothy Wright, a jun- ior from Beaumont, Texas, was seriously injured in the accident. The three were returning to Lexing- ton from the Dartmouth College Invita- tional Debate Tournament in Hanover, N.H., when the car in which they were riding struck a guardrail. Mr. Baker and Mr. Wright were co-captains of the Wash- ington and Lee debate team. A memorial service for Prof. Chaffin and Mr. Baker was held in Lee Chapel on Feb. 25. The funeral and burial of Prof. Chaffin was in Richmond. Mr. Baker was buried in Lynchburg following his fun- eral there. Mr. Wright is recovering from his in- juries at his home in Beaumont and will return to Washington and Lee this fall. During the 10 years that Prof. Chaffin directed the debate program, Washington and Lee debaters amassed more than 100 trophies, and three of his teams qualified 24; PEOPLE Professor William Chaffin—he filled up “King Tut’s Tomb” with more than 100 trophies directing the debate team. for the national championship rounds. His office was so cluttered with glittering trophies he often referred to it as “King Tut’s ‘Tomb.” Mr. Baker, 20, son of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Baker, was a 1967 graduate of Holy Cross High School in Lynchburg. An Honor Roll student at Washington and Lee, majoring in history, he was a member of the student body Executive Committee and an officer in Kappa AIl- pha fraternity. Prof. Chaffin was born in 1930 in Richmond. He received a bachelor’s de- gree and a law degree from the Univer- sity of Richmond and a master’s degree from the University of Virginia. After teaching briefly at Madison College and the University of Virginia, he joined the Washington and Lee faculty in 1960. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Lucille W. Chaffin of Richmond. Prof. Chaffin coached many outstand- ing debaters at Washington and Lee, in- cluding Bill Noell and Al Eckes, who in 1963 carried the University to the na- tional debate championship. A _ Noell- Eckes ‘Trophy is now awarded annually to the Washington and Lee student who makes the most notable contribution to intercollegiate debating. Mr. Noell and Mr. Eckes furnished the Alumnus with the following remem- brances of their teacher, coach, and friend: Professor William W. Chaffin was a man of many and varied talents. Some will remember him as the man _ prin- cipally responsible for the Phoenix-like regeneration of the University’s debating and forensic programs. Others, mostly his debaters, will remember fondly the “Coach” or ‘The Chief,’ the man who took them to museums, who guided them around battlefields describing the place- ment and movement of troops during the “recent unpleasantness,” who treated them to their first live symphony concert, and who in numberless other ways man- aged to make a debate trip something a bit extraordinary. Still others will recall the teacher, slow to criticize and quick to praise, who developed creditable pub- lic speakers from young men who had never previously opened their mouths in class, let alone faced an audience of peers. But common to all these people will be the sure recollection of a man who was at once dedicated, gently demanding, and humorous. Bill Chaffin’s life had centered on Washington and Lee for the past 10 years. In that time, he became increas- ingly dedicated to seeing that the Uni- versity fulfilled its promise as a teaching institution. Perhaps too few students were aware of the long evening hours he spent listening to and evaluating the classroom speeches he had tape recorded. Surely, too few had any notion of the time he committed to reading their Dean’s folders and to discussing their talents, problems, and aspirations with faculty colleagues. He cared about the students with whom he came in contact as people—he acted on his belief that one of the prime virtues of a small teaching school is its ability to instruct the individual student to both recognize and realize his potential. His personal concern for students did not, however, permit him to overlook their personal failures. Woe betide the debater who gave less than his best or the student who was unprepared. Even in such circumstances, Mr. Chaffin’ was neither explosive nor vituperative; more often than not, he was hurt. For he typic- ally saw in his students’ performances a reflection of his ability to motivate them. As a consequence, he worked harder than before, gently demanding and en- couraging his students to match his ex- ample. For all of that, he was possessed of a rare sense of humor. He took neither himself nor others too seriously. This side of Mr. Chaffin was probably best known to his debaters; when a concert, a mus- eum, or a tour failed to relieve the ten- sion induced by a major tournament, the Chaffin wit, usually directed at one or more of our foibles, would inevitably break the ice. His contributions to the institution during his too brief tenure were marked. His death is surely a severe loss to the University family and community. But to those who knew and had worked with and for this man, his passing is a personal tragedy. We will long remember and treasure our association with Professor Chaffin— the man who measured his achievement by our own. —BILt NoELL, ’64 —AL EcKEs, ’64 A Tribute to Class Agents Within the Washington and Lee family there are many ways to serve the University. Each alumnus is a reflection of Washington and Lee in his community, and the University is justly proud of its family record. Of course, there are more direct ways to help the University —not the least of which is participation in the Annual Fund. Each of us can and should, within our means, par- ticipate to the fullest. And to all who have contributed to the Annual Fund, I extend most sincere thanks. But here I would like to pay special tribute to our Class Agents. The names of these “unsung” heroes are listed below. They are men who are making an extra effort that is so important to Washington and Lee. Their work, their families, their community activities are enough to keep them abundantly occupied. They all con- tribute to the Annual Fund. In addition, they have an extra sense of responsibility that causes them to work as Class Agents to further the welfare of Washington and Lee. I salute them! I salute them because, at a time when a gulf seems to be widening between people and their institutions, they are doing all they can to bridge the gap and rally support for Washington and Lee. The value of their activities to the University cannot be overstated. ALUMNI 25 While each is primarily concerned with getting each member of his class to contribute to the best of his ability, each Class Agent is also occupied in finding methods of increasing understanding of the University among alumni. And it is only through such understanding and support that private institutions like Washington and Lee can be sustained. Unfortunately, apathy apparently affects a large per- centage of alumni. How else can one explain the hard fact that today an average of only one out of three mem- bers of the Washington and Lee family supports the University financially? I do not wish to imply that the responsibility for this situation falls on the broad shoulders of the Class Agents. No indeed. It is a responsibility that must be shared by all elements of the University—the Trustees, the admini- stration, the faculty, the students, and every member of the family. What I am emphasizing is that our Class Agents are in the forefront of the effort to create univer- sal support. ‘They put long, hard hours into this effort. ‘They need our help. ‘They deserve our deepest thanks. —WILLIAM C.
