Photograph by Robert Lock- hart. William W. Pusey, III, is named first S. Blount Mason Professor Dr. William Webb Pusey, III, professor of German and head of the department, has been named Washington and Lee’s first S. Blount Mason, Jr., Professor. ‘The appointment was made and announced by the University’s Board of ‘Trustees. The endowed chair was established in recog- nition of S. Blount Mason, Jr., a prominent Baltimore insurance executive, who attended Washington and Lee from 1901 to 1903. A na- tive of Richmond and a descendant of George Mason, the author of Virginia’s Declaration of Rights, Mason spent his entire working career with the U. S. Fidelity and Guaranty Co. of Baltimore. ‘The endowment for the Mason chair came to Washington and Lee from trusts which termi- nated upon the death of S. Blount Mason, Jr., in May, 1969. The trusts had been created by Mason and his wife, who died four months ear- lier, to benefit after their deaths certain chari- ties in which they were interested. Washington and Lee’s share, which the Masons directed should be used to strengthen faculty salaries, amounted to nearly a half million dollars. Dr. Pusey, the first Mason professor, has been a Washington and Lee faculty member for 35 years. He was dean of the College from 1960 to 1971 and was acting president of the University from the time Dr. Fred C. Cole re- signed in 1967 until his successor, Robert E. R. Huntley, assumed office in February, 1968. In addition to his current teaching duties, which include Russian language and compara- tive literature courses as well as German, Dr. Pusey is director of Washington and Lee’s Chi- ae nese studies program. He began working to de- ee . velop that program almost as soon as he left the . I deanship three years ago. William W. Pusey, III, the professor April 1974 by Robert S. Keefe Bill Pusey: a scholar whose text is simply ‘I like students’ Bill Pusey didn’t go to Washington and Lee, but he might as well have. “This,” he says, “is practically ‘Utopia U. “But put that in quote marks. I don’t mean for it to sound facetious.” Since 1939, with a break only for World War II and a couple of sabbaticals, he’s served in just about every capacity there is at W&L. Once in 1967, he had to interrupt a student who was pleading with him breathlessly on some point or other with the in- quiry: ““Wait—are you asking me as dean of the College, or chairman of the Courses and Degrees Committee, or acting President?” But his “first love” has always been for teaching, and in 1971, after 11 years as dean of W&L’s arts-and- sciences division (teaching only one course or so each semester) he returned full-time to the classroom. It struck his colleagues as especially apt, then, that he was named by the Board of Trustees to the newest > 99 endowed chair—the S. Blount Mason, Jr., professorship. Pusey came to Washington and Lee as acting head of the German department in 1939, the year he re- ceived his Ph.D. from Columbia University. (He holds A pause. the B.A. degree from Haverford College and the M. A. from Harvard.) His 11] years as dean left an important mark on Washington and Lee. The list of achievements he directed and supported is impressive. Faculty salaries were doubled so the University could attract and keep top-flight teachers. Research opportunities were expanded markedly both for professors and for stu- dents; the Robert E. Lee Research Program, established in 1960 with a gift of more than $250,000 from the late Dr. Gustavus Benz Capito, an 1899 W&L gradu- ate, has permitted more than 750 students to engage in advanced research—often of graduate-school calibre —under the individual direction of W&L teachers. Major grants in the 1960’s from the Alfred P. Sloan and Ford Foundations provided new programs of leaves-of-absences and support for scholarly research to teachers in the sciences and humanities. During his deanship the entire curriculum was re- organized, distribution and major requirements were fundamentally updated and changed, and the “12-12-6” academic calendar with the “short term” at the end (when more field opportunities are available than at Washington and Lee plus Pusey Equals One Long Love Affair Here are some of Bill Pusey’s thoughts about Washington and Lee as he nears the middle of his fourth decade of service to the University: “The University possesses a set of characteristics that are very nearly unique,” He says. “The fac- ulty is exceptionally talented. There is the valuable opportunity to undertake scholarly work of an appealing sort—work that is per- sonally interesting to me. “And the students. ‘They’re very sophisticated intellectually— versatile and energetic. One of my favorite pleasures is to teach the introductory courses. That is one of the reasons I find Washington and Lee’s emphasis on undergra- duate education so congenial—the opportunity to introduce young men to the world of ideas on a broad base.” One _ particularly important W&L characteristic in his eyes is the geographic diversity in its stu- dent body. “Egregious provincial- ism,” as he calls it, is for him an abiding academic bane in _ the United States—including “the oc- casional tendency in the North to assume an institution in the South can’t be first-rate.” He appreciates especially the way Washington and Lee is gov- erned. (“Don’t say ‘governance,’ ”’ he cautions. “I don’t like academic jargon.”) “We have a very happy relationship among the faculty, students, administration, and trus- tees. I really don’t know of any first-rate college or university that has an autocratic system of govern- ment. Ours is a valuable asset. “I’ve traveled to meetings and visited other colleges frequently, and always I come back with new satisfaction at being connected with Washington and Lee.” WeL Dice en . pre ec tt REST HME See ues! oe * pit = - s ae ee > s Sa 3 _ - Be Ss BS. = Pusey: Mason Professor Above: Dr. Pusey in a characteristic setting helping a student arrange his academic program during registration.

The number of courses in the arts and sciences nearly doubled, from 340 in 1960-61 to 635 courses a decade later. A new pro- gram for honors students was developed, and the faculty adviser system was revamped. W&L joined in the establishment of the Eight-College Exchange Pro- gram, prinicpally to give students the chance to take at other schools courses not offered at W&L; a Pass/Fail option for certain elective courses was in- troduced. The computer center, language labora- tories, campus FM radio facilities all were added in those years as well. Not only is Bill Pusey appreciated and admired by his colleagues in the faculty and administration. He’s the only person ever to have been presented two Ring-tum Phi Awards by the student newspaper, both coming in the days when students were sup- posed to be suspicious of anybody “in power’’— the first in 1968, after his service as acting President, the second three years later upon his retirement from the deanship. The 300 seniors attending the banquet at which the 1971 presentation was made gave him a standing ovation. It was natural that they should. “His overriding con- WeL Endowed professorships enhance W&L’s overall excellence The establishment of the S. Blount Mason, Jr., professorship edges Wash- ington and Lee toward fulfillment of a cherished long-range goal which is a central objective of the University’s present development program: to have the financial ability based on sufficient endowment to appoint a distinguished named professor in every major academic department. Progress toward this objective has been slow but gratifying. The first step came in the early nineteenth cen- tury when the Society of the Cincin- nati of Virginia, following the ex- ample of George Washington, added much-needed funds to the endow- ment of the struggling classical aca- demy that was to survive to become Washington and Lee University. 6 ~ . 3 ee 7 % _ ia ti , : : he _«* A ' . oe . << 2 Saeed 3 = : Se © : ‘ ee a —— — Dr. Claybrook Griffith, Mamie Fox Twyman Martel Professor That gift was recognized by the desig- nation of a Cincinnati professorship, a chair that is held today by Dr. Felix Welch, professor of mathemat- ics and former head of the depart- ment. In more recent years, additional endowed professorships were made possible by gifts from the Mamie F. Martel ‘Trust of Houston: the Henry S. Fox, Jr., professorship, held by Dr. Severn Duvall, professor of English and head of the department; and the Mamie Fox Twyman Martel profes- sorship, held by Dr. Claybrook Grif- fith, professor of economics and head of the department. In 1971, a grant of $600,000 from the William R. Kenan, Jr., Chari- table ‘Trust of New York enabled the University to establish the William R. Kenan, Jr., professorship, to which Dr. William A. Jenks, professor of history and head of the department, was named. Now there is the S. Blount Mason, Jr., professorship, held by Dr. Wil- liam W. Pusey, III, professor of Ger- man and head of the department. And the Board of Trustees has deter- mined that other professorial chairs need to be established in the years ahead to maintain progress toward the final objective. Thus the Board has made the seeking of such profes- sorships a priority item in its devel- opment program objectives for the 1970's. The desirability of named endow- ed professorships at a privately fi- shitiianliiiaiciele asian Disaiaaniibaaitipilies Ke FE A AAO LAA RE Dr. Severn Duvall, Henry S. Fox, Jr. Professor WeL nanced and independently governed institution like Washington and Lee goes to the heart of its educational mission. University President Robert E. R. Huntley has declared on many oc- casions that Washington and Lee’s only reason for existence is to pro- vide the best possible education to the young men who come to it. That means the University is obligated to maintain the best possible faculty to teach them. “A university is no stronger than its faculty,” is the way Dean of the College William J. Watt puts it. And President Huntley has_ described Washington and Lee in formal terms as an “institution which unashamed- ly proclaims that there is no higher Dr. William A. Jenks, William R. Kenan, Jr., Professor April 1974 goal to which a scholar can aspire than to be a vital teacher of young men.” A professorship is named in recog- nition of a $500,000 gift commit- ment made either outright or as an irrevocable provision in the donor’s estate plan. A gift which establishes a named endowed professorship is invested by Washington and Lee as a part of its general endowment. The named professorship honors the don- or and the gift, and the increased resources that the gift creates can be looked upon as a general enhance- ment of the University’s ability to secure and retain outstanding schol- ar-teachers. Named endowed professorships are great sources of gratification to the donors who make them possible. The person for whom the professorship is named is perpetuated in the minds and hearts of everyone associated with an institution whose history spans three centuries. Posterity is re- minded that the donor was particu- larly generous to and interested in private education and in Washing- ton and Lee and that the University is grateful for the support it has re- ceived and holds in esteem those who share its dedication to continuing ex- cellence in higher education and its conviction to devote all of its re- sources to that end. Endowed professorships also en- able the University to honor dis- tinguished faculty members for their high academic attainments and 4 > 3 = = = | ; ee ; : * bit “ Dr. Felix Welch, Cincinnati Professor ~J Endowed Professorships their dedication to teaching. This recognition is invaluable to a teacher in his professional pursuits. It adds luster to the academic community as a whole and demonstrates that Wash- ington and Lee puts a high premium on scholarly achievement and on classroom instruction of the highest order. And this again strengthens the University’s position in maintaining a faculty of eminence and distinction. The student is the ultimate bene- ficiary. He is assured of studying un- der some of the best teachers in the country and of being intimately as- sociated with scholars whose primary interest is the teaching of undergra- duates. So it is that the Board of Trustees has included in its development ob- jectives for the University to be achieved by 1976 a $12,000,000 item for increased endowment. Of this amount, $6,000,000 is earmarked for faculty salary support, $3,000,000 for increased student financial aid, and $3,000,000 for general endowment. As of the end of February, 1974, $5,591,528 has been committed to- ward the overall $12,000,000 endow- ment goal—a little less than half. The Board of ‘Trustees is hopeful that endowed professorships will constitute much of the remainder needed to meet the endowment goals for faculty salary support. Continuing to work toward a- chievement of these endowment goals is. the Washington and Lee Achieve- ment Council and the Estate Plan- ning Council. The Achievement Council was appointed by the Board of Trustees to spearhead the effort to reach the overall first-phase develop- ment goal of $36,000,000 by 1976. The Council is composed of mem- bers of the Board of Trustees joined by more than 40 alumni and friends who have volunteered their services. The Council, headed by Trustee John M. Stemmons of Dallas, is divided into committees, each headed by a Trustee chairman and Trustee part- ners, and each with specific respon- sibilities for gifts from the Univer- sity’s various constituencies. The Estate Planning Council is composed of volunteers who are knowledgeable in financial and legal affairs. ‘They are ready to help any alumnus or friend arrange an estate gift to his or her best advantage. ‘The Estate Planning Council is directed by Martin P.

Warner sees upsurge of enthusiasm for U.S. Bicentennial John W. Warner, a member of the Washington and Lee Board of Trustees since 1968, has become head of the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration. He assumed his duties in April after serving two years as Secretary of the Navy and three years as Under Sec- retary of the Navy. He is a 1949 graduate of W&L and holds a law degree from the University of Virginia. At the age of 47, he has compiled an impressive record of public service both in and out of government. He is a son of a WeL graduate, the late Dr. John W. Warner, Class of 1903, in whose memory the J. W. Warner, M.D., Scholarship Fund was established at W&L. As a Trus- tee, Warner played an important part in the assess- ment of Washington and Lee’s needs that led to the University’s current effort to raise $36 million by the Bicentennial Year of 1976. In the following interview, he discusses his new job, his work with the Navy, his role asa WeL Trustee, and his affection for Washing- ton and Lee. WkL: Mr. Warner, you have moved from one impor- tant job to another. How do you feel about the transt- tion? WARNER: ‘The transition required only the time to drive from the Pentagon to my offices here at Jackson Place which are located across from the White House on historic Lafayette Square. That drive took about 15 minutes, let’s say. For the indefinite future I would hope to remain in public service. I have found that to be the most reward- ing portion of my career which has embraced service as Assistant United States Attorney, four years of active military duty—two in the Navy and two in the Marines —and about six years in the private practice of law. Those experiences, while having their individual re- wards, don’t measure up to my most recent service as Under Secretary and then Secretary of the Navy for a combined tour of over five years—and now on to this new position. I think this position thrusts upon me the greatest challenge of my lifetime. People from every corner of our nation are searching today for a means to reaffirm and reassert those faiths and beliefs instilled in us by our Founding Fathers. And I hope to play a helpful role in this great endeavor. April 1974 Trustee Warner in his Jackson Place offices; behind him is a wall-size replica of the Declaration of Independence. W&kL: What satisfactions did you derive from your position as Secretary of the Navy? WarRNER: First, during those five years, we brought the Navy into stride with the current thinking in America respecting the treatment of the individual. For example, we had within the Navy a human goals program which was initiated during my first year, and the basic tenet of that program was as follows: That every individual in uniform or in civilian clothes within the Depart- ment of Defense could rise to the level to which his diligence and ability enabled him. Second is the modernization of the fleet. ‘The fleet consisted of over 900 ships in 1969—my first year. When I departed this month, the fleet was down to slightly more than 500 ships. We took this cut in order to save funds which were directed into new construction. ‘The 9 “The principles and ideals that are taught at Washington and Lee have been the ones that have guided me throughout my life”’ budget before the Congress that I presented on the eve of my departure for $29 billion contains a funding request for the first time in the past five years for more ships—namely 30—than we propose to retire from the fleet, which is roughly 22 ships this year. So the fleet is starting back up in numbers, in quality, and in modernization. The third thing I take considerable personal pride in was being the head of the delegation to the Soviet Union for the purpose of negotiating an agreement for safety on and above the high seas. Negotiations began in the fall of 1971 in Moscow. ‘Then Soviet delegations came to this country, and I returned with the Presi- dent and attended the Moscow summit meeting in May, 1972, at which time the agreement was signed. The agreement between the two navies provides for safety measures to protect the lives of sailors and airmen operating on and above the high seas. It was a direct outgrowth of that period of tension between our navies that led to the series of stories entitled “Chicken of the Sea.” That’s a sort of capsule. Then I might add the tremendous satisfaction I received from having headed an organization of more than a million and a quarter people with one of the largest budgets in the Federal Government. I will always regard it as a great privilege to have served along side of the men and women of the Armed Forces of the United States, who in large measure and in reality are providing the freedom which we enjoy today. I can tell you that in my judgment freedom is not free. Someone has to pay the price, and they are paying a considerable measure of that price. WkL: Generally, it seems there has not been an enormous amount of national enthusiasm generated yet towards the Bicentennial. WARNER: I would like to correct you on that state- ment. I was somewhat under a similar impression until I arrived here last week and discovered that that im- pression was entirely erroneous. There is an enormous ground swell of activity. The Bicentennial Administra- tion’s annual report to Congress shows that over 1,400 programs and other activities are under way. Each of the 50 states now has its own Bicentennial Commis- sion. We just have not been able to tell adequately 10 On a recent visit to Annapolis while Secretary of the Navy, Warner talked earnestly with the Midshipmen. the United States principally and then the world of the surge of activity now going on here within the 50 states, territories, and District of Columbia. The list is really extraordinary. WkL: What kind of role do institutions of higher education have to play in the Bicentennial observance? WarRNER: As a matter of fact, my first public statement will be as commencement speaker at Indiana State Uni- versity. I chose that purposely from among many, many invitations to speak because of its location in the cen- tral United States and its young people, and then, of course, I was honored by being selected to receive an honorary doctorate. The university role in contrast to a great deal of fan- fare which takes place elsewhere in the country should WeL i aol ti While on the same visit, Warner joined Naval Academy officers in inspecting the grounds and new construction. in my judgment be focused upon the intellectual as- pects of this historic era. For example, one of the pro- grams we have under way is the “Great Issues.’’ We hope to select, say, a dozen major issues and encourage the media and the intellectual segment of our society to discuss each of those issues, one a month for twelve months. An example is religion in America’s past, pre- sent, and future. The “Role of Religion in America,” I guess, would be the proper title. Now those are the things that I would hope the universities would stimu- late on and off the campus. W&L: You have been a Trustee of Washington and Lee for five years. Why do you do tt? WARNER: I have been able to maintain only two out- side activities from a list of many since my return to April 1974 teh kek kkk Warner, as Under Secretary of the Navy, returns from a reconnaissance flight while on a tour of Vietnam. Federal service. First is the Washington Cathedral, which has been an integral part of my family for many years, and I was more or less born in the shadow of that. And the second is Washington and Lee. My father was a graduate of the Class of 1903 and I of the Class of 1949. The principles and ideals that are taught and embraced at Washington and Lee have been the ones that have guided me throughout my life. I would like now, through my participation on the Board of Trustees and other things that I have done, to return to Washington and Lee in other forms some of the benefits I received there. WkL: What influence has Washington and Lee had on your life and career? WarNnNER: Washington and Lee has left an indelible im- 11 ‘Washington and Lee with all of its marvelous and venerable qualities is a living institution that must be fed daily in many respects” pression on me, not only through my father, but through my own rewarding experience. The Honor System has been the core of the structure on which I operate every day. It is really extremely deep-rooted within me. W&L: What do you feel to be the qualities of a good Trustee? Warner: I will address two categories of quality: First is independence of thinking, and second is really a love for Washington and Lee and the things it stands for— a desire to promote those principles not only within the University but away from the University. In other words, it is a way of life. Washington and Lee has changed relatively little in its basic tenets; nevertheless, I feel it has kept stride with the times. A Trustee must be able to give of his time. You cannot do it on an honorary basis or a symbolic basis. I find time to talk with President Huntley by phone frequently, to attend executive committee meetings, and to the extent possible the Board meetings. And as I say I purposely carved out this time from my public service responsibilities. A certain segment of the Board should have experi- ence in the business and professional community be- cause fund raising is an integral part of the Univer- sity’s life. It’s a fact of life. It’s not necessarily a desir- able thing for any of us, but for Washington and Lee, which receives minimal support from government sources, it’s life or death. And we must assist the Presi- dent in that role. W&L: There seems to be a feeling among some alumni and friends that Washington and Lee is well off. How do you overcome that attitude? Warner: I can’t possibly comprehend what the genesis of that thinking might be. The University has a very modest endowment, and it has an aging capital plant which is in the process of modernization, namely the law school and the library. I just don’t understand how anyone can take the liberty of thinking the Uni- versity is self-sufficient and needs no more. I regrettably say that such people are oblivious to reality. Washing- ton and Lee with all of its marvelous and venerable qualities is a living institution that must be fed daily in many respects—not the least of which is the augmenta- 12 OUT! On N & %, > ~S O at rd 2 1, Cd s 5. ~ 776 491° tion of its financial structure. I saw Yale go out for a fantastic sum of $380 million. Not only is it frightening that the institution required that much, but when you recognize the end product of $380 million it is suddenly an enormous, impersonal type of institution. And I must say I have counted myself among those who wish to contain Washington and Lee within the reasonable limits of both capital plant and student numbers—with- in reasonable limits of the current figures. W&L: You obviousty then are optimistic toward the future? WarRNER: Yes, for the reason that Washington and Lee is unique in the sense that there are very few in- stitutions in the United States which can offer those great qualities that we have preserved through these many years. T’ake the issue of coeducation for example. I believe the Board should address that issue at least once a year to determine the consensus of the times. How many institutions of the type of Washington and Lee can still offer the all-male educational system? Is there not a need within the United States for a con- tinuation of a number of those institutions, and what is that number today? It is dwindling; it is inconsequen- tial. WkL: Do you have a particular message for the Washington and Lee constituency? WARNER: My message would be “count your bless- ings’’—those who are fortunate enough to be on cam- pus today, either on the faculty or in the student body, because you are enjoying one of the finest things that remain in this country. To its alumni I would say “count your blessings’ that you are fortunate enough to be among the few to have shared one another and to have shared the heritage of our great University. Editor’s Note: In addition to Trustee John W. War- ner, other Washington and Lee men are playing impor- tant roles in preparing for the American Bicentennial. In Virginia, the Commonwealth Bicentennial Commis- ston has as its chairman Del. Lewis A. McMurran, a 1936 WeL graduate, and its executive director 1s Parke S. Rouse, Jr., a 1937 graduate, who 1s director of The Jamestown Foundation in Williamsburg. WeL ron W&L plans many Bicentennial events on the campus and across the nation Treasurer James W. Whitehead, named director of the University’s Bicentennial planning, poses with part of the Reeves Collection of Chinese Export Porcelain, which will be shown at many major museums. Washington and Lee, with its unique ties to the nation’s heritage, has begun in earnest to prepare its own observance of the American Bi- centennial — with on-campus _pro- grams and activities and_ events throughout the country as well. The two-year observance will fo- cus on the historic role Washington and Lee played in the development of the United States and on its in- timate connection with people and events of importance in the creation and early days of the Republic. Washington and Lee was founded 27 years before the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and April 1974 this year as it begins its American Bicentennial observance the Uni- versity celebrates its own 225th an- niversary. “Washington and Lee is in an ex- traordinary position to contribute to the American Bicentennial,’ com- ments James W. Whitehead, the Uni- versity’s treasurer and secretary of the Board of Trustees. Whitehead has been designated by the Board to direct planning at Washington and Lee for the American Bicentennial. The initial phase of the Univer- sity’s comprehensive Development Program is scheduled to conclude in 1976, which will be the 200th anni- versary of the rebellious change in the institution’s name from Augusta Academy to Liberty Hall..

Also in conjunction with its ob- servance of the Bicentennial, Wash- ington and Lee has deeded Virginia’s last one-room schoolhouse, the Moun- tain Gap School near Leesburg, to the National Trust for Historic Pre- servation. The school building was bequeathed to the University by the late Wilbur C. Hall, a graduate of the law school and of Washing- ton and Lee. Hall was vitally inter- ested in preserving his “little red schoolhouse” and acquired it after it ceased operation in 1953. When Hall died two years ago, he left a $1.5-mil- lion bequest to the law portion of the Development Program — and the Mountain Gap School, with the re- quest that W&L continue his efforts to assure its preservation. In keeping with his wishes, Washington and Lee donated it to the National Trust, and a ceremony May 4 commemorated both Hall’s and W&L’s role in pro- tecting it as a reflection of Virginia’s heritage. A number of other American Bi- centennial programs and _ activities will be undertaken in the next two years, according to Whitehead — both on campus and off. Supervising the University’s plans for the observance is an eight-member steering commit- tee, of which Whitehead is chairman. Faculty members named to the panel by President Huntley are Dr. Mc- Daniel, who is directing the Liberty Hall archaeological ‘‘dig;’’ Dr. I. ‘Tay- lor Sanders II, assistant history pro- fessor and University historian; Dr. Sidney M. B. Coulling, professor of English; Dr. William W. Pusey III, professor of German and department head; and Maurice D. Leach Jr., Uni- versity librarian. President Huntley has also designated two W&L jun- iors, Hannes F. Van Wagenberg of Princess Anne, Md., and Charles N. Watson Jr. of Kingsport, ‘Tenn., as student members of the steering com- mittee. —Robert S. Keefe 15 George S. Arnold: portrait of a generous alumnus aa George S. Arnold is one of the most financially successful men in Romney, W.Va., and he intends to leave all of his wealth to Washington and Lee. He wants to do this, he said in a recent conversation about his life and values, because he understands that Washington and Lee has great financial needs, and he is confident that the University will put his hard- earned fortune to the best use. Besides, he wants to “help boys who can’t help themselves” get a good education, principally boys from West Virginia and then others. But ultimately he is willing to let the University decide the most appropri- ate use of the bequest that will per- petuate his memory with an institu- tion he is helping to endure. Arnold first attended Washington and Lee from 1903 to 1905. Then 20 years later he returned at the age of 40 to study law and earned his law degree in 1928. He has already established a large scholarship fund at Washington and Lee and has indicated that he plans to add substantially to the fund each year. But upon his death, he said, the University is to have all he has ac- cumulated—a considerable _ estate that he has compiled little by little over a long period of hard work, frugal living, and astute investments. “I think education is great,’ he said. “But I don’t think my ability to accumulate came from education. I have been an accumulator since I was so high when I had a little bank in which I put pennies, nickles, and dimes. Our family has always been kind of thrifty.” On April 5, 1974, George Arnold observed his 89th birthday, healthy, vigorous, and looking ahead to a possible 100 years of life. In his glances back on his life, Washing- ton and Lee looms large in his mem- ory. He came to the University first at the age of 18 with a hand-written note from his teacher at Potomac Academy, the late J. E. Hodgson, a Washington and Lee graduate. The slip of paper said, “Mr. Arnold is qualified to attend Washington and Lee.” President George H. Denny was satisfied with it and so was Prof. Alexander L. Nelson, a mathematics teacher who had been on the faculty under President Robert E. Lee. Mathematics was Arnold’s favorite subject, and he “made all of his tickets” (grades), although he found calculus a little difficult. “I was an humble sort of boy then,” he said. “I didn’t cut much of a figure at Washington and Lee and was only a fair student. But I be- haved myself. I have never drunk whiskey. I have never smoked, and recently I have given up coffee and tea. I don’t see how anyone who wants to live can smoke.” In 1905, he returned home—a 600- acre farm nestled between the north and south forks of the Potomac River. The land, still intact, has been in his family since 1842. In the sum- mer of ’05 his father’s caretaker drowned in the river, and young Arnold had to take over the work. For the next 20 years, he worked on the farm for $300 a year plus room and board. He saved most of his money, and this nest egg became the basis of his later successful finan- cial ventures. In 1922, at the age of 37, he mar- ried and that was the beginning of his second association with Wash- ington and Lee—this time in the School of Law. “IT really liked the study of law,” he said. “I was determined to lead the class if I could. I was the oldest. Because of my age and experience, I had a practical advantage and un- derstood that the law is based on right and justice.” He did rank second in his class the final year, beating out a Phi Beta Kappa who wound up third. It was during his law school years that he came to know and ad- mire the late Clayton Epes Williams, professor of law and later dean. He was also an admirer of the then Dean William H. Moreland. Arnold and Williams established a lasting friend- ship, and Williams was a frequent visitor in the Arnold home. Arnold established a law office, but discontinued his practice after several years. He had many interests WeL Sh Se a es PR Head Librarian Maurice D. Leach, Jr., says of McCor- mick: “We are in the midst of a space crisis.” dolph and Harry St. George Tucker, Reid White, and other important figures in University and national his- tory. But McCormick is seriously short of space to per- mit safe and convenient access to such materials. Libraries are for pleasure, too, and McCormick main- tains a fine collection of popular magazines and books for browsing, relaxation, and what Head Librarian Maurice D. Leach, Jr., calls “relieving the tension of exams.” (One of his discoveries: Punch is among the most sought-after of the magazines, and along with the newsmagazines “seems constantly being read.”) As the intensity of student and faculty use of Mc- Cormick has increased, so have the demands placed on the professional staff. McCormick’s reference staff han- dled more than 4,000 inquiries last year—a 25 per cent increase over the figure for the year before. Book circula- tion was up 15 per cent, to 34,000 volumes. The library maintained subscriptions to nearly a thousand periodi- cals and continued to add significantly to its microfilm collection as well. To administer an operation of that magnitude re- quires a highly talented staff, and in that respect Mc- Cormick excels. Head Librarian Leach works with a staff of five professionals with graduate degrees in li- brary science—in technical services, cataloguing, acquisi- tions, and reference and public services—and a full-time staff of 12 assistants. In addition, some 6,000 hours a year of work are performed by paid student assistants. About half of those hours are performed by students under the work-study program that helps them earn part of the cost of a Washington and Lee education. In recent years, the library has been made even more accessible to students and teachers than before. Books can now be checked out for the entire term (subject only to a call-back if other students or teachers need them). Microfilm readers and printers are now located in the reference room—hardly an ideal location, but available 20 now whenever the library is open. And it 7s open more than 100 hours a week, which compares favorably with any other small-college library. (During the Fall and Winter Terms, McCormick remains open until midnight seven days a week—a policy recently instituted in re- sponse to student requests—and until 3 a.m. during final examinations and the week preceding them.) The annual cost of operating McCormick is, as one would expect, considerable: $267,735 last year, repre- senting 5.2 per cent of the overall University budget. Like any repository of culture, a library is partly a reflection of its proprietor. Head Librarian Leach sees three objectives for McCormick, now and in the future: “To supplement and complement the University’s formal programs of instruction; to encourage students —and others—to acquire first-hand experience with a wide variety of learning resources; and to promote a deliberate effort toward self-development.” And it all should occur, he adds, “in a facility that is comfortable to use.” Students appreciate that quality; they are glad to be allowed to put their feet up on a study table if they like, or to take a quick nap in the Browsing Room (known to wags as the Drowsing Room), and in return they demonstrate what Prof. Leach calls ‘‘a remarkable sense of responsibility in the library—a warm resepct for the facilities and resources they find here.” But McCormick remains physically inadequate. Not only is it becoming impossible to jam additional books onto the shelves. The building is structurally rigid, and there is no more space to be rearranged. Staff members are scattered throughout the library on three floors, im- posing a debilitating measure of inefficiency in their own operations and making them less available than they should be—and want to be—to student users. “We are,” Leach states, “in the midst of a space crisis. WeL Biologist is PBK speaker; English professor honored Dr. Arthur G. Galston, professor of biology at Yale University and a cham- pion of “social responsibility” among scientists, delivered the annual Phi Beta Kappa address on March 21 Chapel. Dr. Galston, whose field of research specialization is plant physiology and growth, used an example from his own experience in in Lee the use of peacetime scientific research for military purposes without prior investigation of the consequences. He referred to a chemical defoliation practice used in criticizing Vietnam which was derived from research in which he had originally participated. The original research was designed to increase plant and crop productivity. But it was learned that when used in excessive amounts, it killed vegetation. He argued that scientists should not change the nature of itheir research, but should instead become concerned with the ways their findings are applied. He criticized segments of the scientific com- munity for timidity and aversion to ac- cepting social responsibility. Later in the day, 39 seniors, 10 jun- iors, two 1973 graduates, and a W&L professor, Dr. H. Robert Huntley, were inducted into W&L’s Gamma of Virginia chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. Dr. Huntley, a professor of English, was elected to honorary membership. He has been on the W&L faculty since 1962, holds the Ph. D. from Wisconsin.

Lancaster, ’75 10th annual Contact concentrates on ‘Contemporary Communications’ The author is a junior from Dunkirk, N.Y., and editor-in-chief this year of the Ring-tum Phi. Director William Friedkin called it “a kind of illusive thing.” He was talking about communica- tions—the theme of this year’s Contact speakers symposium. Friedkin was one of Contact’s four presentations to the Wash- ington and Lee and Lexington communi- ties in late February and early March. The program, now in its 10th year, drew an estimated 2,600 persons to the four presentations given under the theme of “Contemporary Communica- tions.” Co-chairmen of this year’s Contact were Chris Harris, a senior from Jack- son, Tenn., and Harrison Turnbull, a junior from Richmond, Va. Sports essayist Heywood Hale Broun opened this year’s Contact Feb. 25, de- scribing the art of his profession to nearly 600 persons in Lee Chapel. Broun, featured weekly on the CBS Saturday Evening News, wove his multi-syllabic words into a patchwork of tales as color- ful as the patchwork sportscoat he wore. Broun said he strives to report more than just a sports event; he reports the characters behind the event. He put in a good word for inaccuracy with the Lee Chapel audience, describing his own re- portorial style as “the poetry and facts I can summon up at the moment.” who em- ploys seven dictionaries in his never- ending search for just the right word at the right time, said he seeks to present the essence of an event in his stories. Cit- ing examples, Broun explained that the essence of the first Super Bowl was the fact that the halftime show—and not the game itself—highlighted the whole affair, The actor-turned-essayist, and he reported it as such. 22 One week later, Contact moved from sports essayist to political satirist as col- umnist Art Buchwald packed more than 1,100 persons into the bleachers of Dore- mus Gym. Buchwald’s topic? Watergate, of course. He made reference to nearly every personality involved in the Watergate scandal, from Richard Nixon (“I wor- ship the very quicksand he walks on,” said Buchwald) to Nixon’s secretary, Rose Mary Woods (the satirist noted that to be a secretary at the White House now- adays, “You have to be able to erase 120 words a minute.”). Climaxing Buchwald’s Watergate lec- ture was a slide show on the ‘topic, inter- spersed with verbal commentary attacking nearly everybody in Washington, no mat- ter what his political affiliation. Speak- ing of unsuccessful Democratic presi- candidate McGovern, dential George Buchwald said, “Now, there’s a man who wanted to run for president in the worst way ... and he did.” Buchwald, as had Broun a week ear- lier, followed up his talk with a ques- tion-and-answer period and an informal talk with a small group of students. Contact turned the following Wednes- day to a different sort of communica- tion—that accomplished through the tal- ents of the musical group Oregon. The group—Paul McCandless, Collin Walcott, Ralph Towner, Glenn Moore— synthesized a world musical heritage into a three-hour performance before 300 persons in Lee Chapel Wednesday night. The four musicians utilized some 15 to 20 different instruments in communicat- ing their music to the crowd. Perhaps the most unique thing about the group’s appearance at Washington and Lee was a “jam session’ held the Film Director William Friedkin eats a cracker during a rap session.

Art Buchwald packs them in for a lecture in Doremus Gymnaisum. April 1974 next day, March 7, in the University Center. Oregon shared its knowledge and talent in a musical “workshop” in the University Center with a small band of students interested in the intricacies of musical communication. That night, 650 persons packed Lex- ington’s State Theatre by 7:45 for the 8:30 presentation of Contact’s final speaker of the two-week symposium, di- rector William Friedkin. The Academy Award-winning director of The French Connection and The Exorcist utilized film clips from both those films in explaining his role as a communicator. He said for a film to communicate properly, it has to “make (the audience) laugh, cry, or be scared.” The Exorcist is certainly communicating to its audiénce in that last sense. Friedkin spoke of the effects of The Exorcist upon its audience, discrediting reports of masses of people fainting, vomiting, or running out of the theatre. He said the reports were vastly overex- aggerated, noting that such a film would be ‘“‘very bad for popcorn sales, to say the least.” In concluding his two-and-a-half hour talk, Friedkin promised the crowd at the State Theatre to bring The Exorcist to Lexington for a four-week run in the Spring Term, by-passing current con- tracts which require that the movie only be shown in about 120 US. cities at the present time for 26-week runs. With a surplus of funds, Contact ex- pects to bring one and possibly two more speakers to Washington and Lee this spring. Earlier in the school year, Contact co-sponsored a documentary pre- sentation entitled Who Killed JFK? and sponsored a talk on the energy crisis by U. S. Energy Commission Chairman John J. McKetta. 23 by John Hughes Basketball team ‘hangs in there’ to record Sth winning season Washington and Lee’s 1973-74 bas- ketball team won eight of its last nine games to maintain another W&L. tradi- tion: that of winning basketball sea- sons. The 13-11 final season record mark- ed the eighth consecutive year Coach Verne Canfield’s charges have been win- ners. Another tradition standing almost as long is a winning swimming season, and Coach Bill Stearns’ team didn’t disap- point, posting a 6-3 record for the year. The highlight was a hard-earned triumph over perennial state power William & Mary, the first time in 10 years the Generals have outfought the Indians. The wrestling team, under new coach Gary Franke, did not fare as well, but received some outstanding individual per- formances. Facing a toughened schedule and crippled the latter part of the year by injuries, the wrestling team was 7- 11-1. The _ basketball “hung in there” after some early season setbacks and a string of hard-luck losses that might have caused a less-disciplined Generals literally team to “hang it up.” It seemed the young and inexper:enced Generals (with just two seniors, only one of whom had played much) were snakebit in the early season. At one point they were 2-7, and five of those losses were by margins of 3, 3, 2, 1 and 1. Just when W&L began to regroup with three straight victories, 6-8 center Norm Kristoff was injured at the most critical point of the schedule and could not take the floor against three tough in-state opponents: Madison, Roa- noke and Randolph-Macon. All three won over 20 games for the year, and all played in the NCAA championship tour- nament. Those three mid-season losses left Coach Canfield’s team with a 5-10 over- 24 weir: ATHLE Tt ti Sal teat. # ie Skip Lichtfuss lays in two of his season’s 524 points against Baltimore. all mark, and the future prospects looked rather dim. But with team captain Skip Lichtfuss leading the way, they turned the season completely around with those eight victories in the last nine games. The turning point definitely occurred when W&L pulled out one of those close ones, a one-point overtime win over Bridge- water, ran off three more by lop-sided margins, nearly upset No. 4-ranked Old ODU Homecoming crowd of over 5,000, then Dominion in Norfolk before an won the last four games—three of them on the road—for the winning year. Quite an accomplishment. The major contributor was Lichtfuss, who had a fabulous year. He averaged 21.8 points a game and his 524 points for the season pulled him up to 1,592 for his career, fifth on the all-time list of W&L scorers. In recent years, the only players to top him have been Mel Cart- wright with 1,800 and Mike Daniel with 1,665. Heading the list of all-time scor- ers is Dom Flora with 2,310, followed by Jay Handlan with 2,002. With only Lichtfuss and senior guard Jerry Porath graduating, the nucleus re- Included are three players who all averaged in dou- ble figures: Kristoff (11.2), guard Bow- man Williams (10.7) and guard John Podgajny (11.0), plus regular forwards Guy Kerr (8.2) and Greg Croghan (7.3). WeL turns for next season. Leigh Williams is installed in Virginia Hall of Fame “In my mind he’s the great- est athlete ever to come to this school, and I’ve seen them all for the past 53 years.” That’s the way Washing- ton and _ Lee’s’ venerable coach E. P. (Cy) Twombly describes Norfolk’s Leigh Williams, who was installed posthumously into the Vir- ginia Hall of Fame in Ports- mouth on April 26. Williams, who died of leukemia in 1940 just a day short of his 32nd _ birthday, was one of those rare breeds of athletes who starred in several sports. At W&L, from 1927-32, he earned 16 monograms, four each in football, basketball, —base- ball and track. Basketball and track were his best, however. As a 6-3 center for coach R. A. (Cap’n Dick) Smith’s basketball squads, Williams led _ the Generals to seasons of 11-0 as a freshman, 16-2 as a sophomore, 16-4 as a junior, and 11-6 as a senior. During that era of the center jump and low-scoring games, Cap’n Dick’s W&L squad was known as the “Point-a-Min- ute” team, and _ usually whipped up on its Southern Conference opponents’ by scores of 57-12, 65-20, etc. In track, a sport in which Williams had never compet- ed before enrolling at Wash- ington and Lee, he reigned as Southern Conference cham- pion in the 440-yard dash as a junior, and won the race every time he ran it as a senior, setting a state record in that event and anchoring a record-breaking, state cham- pion mile-vrelay team. His best time in the 440 was 49 flat. In football, Williams play- ed end. “I once saw him catch five passes against N.C. State, three thrown by the W&L quarterback and two he intercepted,” recalls Twombly. “What a pair of hands he had. He could palm a basketball, and _ his hands were so fast that lots of times you couldn’t follow the ball.” In baseball Williams play- ed first base, but Cap’n Dick would call on him _ occa- sionally to pitch. He once shut out Virginia Tech. Williams was a team cap- tain three times in_ two sports, the freshman _basket- ball squad, as a senior on the varsity basketball team, and as a junior in baseball. He also served as_ presi- dent of the Monogram Club and vice president of the Ath- letic Association. How Williams came from his native Norfolk to Wash- ington and Lee in the first place is a fascinating story —he was recruited by a W&L football manager named Lewis F. Powell, Jr., now a U.S. Supreme Court Justice. Here’s the way Cap’n Dick Smith tells it: “Lewis Powell was man- Leigh Williams ager of the football team, and I called him into my office one day. I told him ‘There is a boy in Norfolk who is the greatest athlete in the state. His name is Leigh Williams and _ he’s going to VPI unless we con- vince him otherwise. We need him badly here at W&kL. I want you to go to Norfolk and bring him back with you.” Cap’n Dick quoted young Powell’s reply: “I'll do what- ever you want me to do.” “I don’t remember how many days Lewis was in Norfolk,” Cap’n Dick con- tinued, ‘‘three or four. But Leigh’s parents fell in love with him. They agreed that W&L was the school for Leigh—with one proviso. They wanted Leigh to room with Lewis Powell.” That presented somewhat of a problem, however, since Powell was also manager of Phi Kappa Sigma social fra- ternity and as such was re- quired to live in the frater- nity house. The enterprising Powell worked around that obstacle through the simple expedient of having Williams pledged to the fraternity and becoming his college room- mate. So with Lewis Powell as team manager and room- mate, it’s not surprising young Leigh Williams was to make a name for himself. And another W&L alumnus who has become well-known in judicial circles also may have been an influence: the line coach for the 1929 W&L football team while he at- tended the W&L Law School was Walter E. (Beefy) Hoff- man, now a U.S. _ District Judge in Norfolk. After graduation from WkL in 1932, Williams taught and _ coached for three years at Augusta Mili- tary Academy, and then re- turned to Norfolk to enter the insurance business.

His efforts on behalf of Washington and Lee were untiring, and the fruits of his leadership will benefit the University for years to come.” Dr. St. Clair, a native of Tazewell, Va., was a physician who also became one of Virginia’s leading businessmen.

Because we _ have seen in Dr. St. Clair such qualities of personal integrity, keen sensitivity, sound judgment, and certain under- standing of Washington and Lee’s educational purpose, we are inspired by his example in every dimension of the service we seek to render our University . . . The warmth of his friendship, the gentleness of his soft- spoken manner, and the delightful nature of his sense of humor are only a few of the memories we cherish of our years of companionship and com- mon endeavor. We are reminded that these attributes, as much as any others, made him a most effective Trustee and Rector of the Board.” Members of the Board were de- signated honorary pallbearers at his funeral in Bal Harbour, Fla., and Dr. John Newton Thomas, who succeed- ed him as Rector and is a Presbyterian minister, assisted in officiating at the service.
