More than a collection of books... a happy place to learn (and relax) This is the third in a series of articles on the University’s library system and its needs. Maurice D. Leach, Jr., became head librarian with the rank of professor at Washington and Lee in July, 1968. At the time of his appointment, he was a Program Adviser to the Ford Foundation at the American Uni- versity in Beirut, helping to upgrade, develop and build libraries for colleges, universities, and governments in the Middle East. At that time, he was on leave of absence from his post as professor and chairman of the Depart- ment of Library Science at the University of Kentucky, a position he had held since 1959. Before that he had spent much time in the Middle East as an assistant attaché with the U. S. Foreign Service and the U. S. Information Agency. He holds a B.A. in history from the University of Kentucky and a B.L.S. from the Univer- sity of Chicago. He and his wife, Virginia, have a daughter, Sarah, who is a freshman this year at Bryn Mawr College. In this interview with the editors of WeL, Leach discusses recent developments in McCormick Library, his concept of what a good college library should be, and how a new library would benefit Washington and Lee’s educational program. W&L: What was your assessment of McCormick Library when you came here six years ago? LEACH: With particular reference to books, allowing for past selectivity or the limitations of past budget procedures—the lack of money—it was a good collection of books. But it was lacking in periodicals. And it was lacking in anything in the way of non-book materials such as microfiche, tapes, and the like, although there was a limited collection of microfilm. And in terms of staff, it was appalling. I think there were only two or three full-time employees. All the others were part-time people, working no more than nine to 10 months. There was no way the organization could carry on beyond a holding operation. ‘There just wasn’t any way we could operate efficiently or effectively. W&L: Yet the main collection was strong? LEACH: Yes, there are certain resources on this campus that are outstanding. I don’t think it was due necessarily September 1974 to the fact that they were budgeted. I think it was due to the energy and imagination of certain departments. ‘These resources reflect the drive of either the librarian or of the faculty members who are interested in collect- ing in a given area. Those that seem to me to be especi- ally notable are chemistry, certainly Civil War history, the romance languages, European history, particularly the Middle East, Austria, and Russia, and the Germanic and Slavic languages. These strengths are clearly evi- dent, but similar collections apply to all departments depending upon individual involvement. There is also a strong collection in the classics and the humanities, reflecting a combination of gifts from those who leave or give collections to their alma mater and the usual acquisitions by purchase over the years. ‘Our mission is to support the learning process and the personal development of the individual by providing the informative and the cultural.” W&L: Have most of the deficiencies you found when you arrived been corrected? LEACH: I am not willing to say that they are, but hopefully they are. Let’s put it this way: the University has come through with good financial support according to its ability to provide funds. A graphic statistic is the book budget from 1948 to 1973. In 1948, we spent $11,000 for books and periodicals. In 1973, we spent $93,000. At the end of this fiscal year 1974 the figure is near $128,000. So financially in terms of what the Uni- versity is able to provide we have obviously increased tremendously. WL: What about inflation? Has that hurt? LEACH: You have to reckon with the tremendous impact that inflation is having on us. In 1948, we sub- scribed to 350 journals. At the end of fiscal 1973, we received 973. But since 1973, one journal alone— Chemical Abstracts that is vital to the chemistry de- partment—has gone up from $1,500 to $3,000. Its index for which we paid $2,400 three years ago has now gone up to $5,000. The average cost of a book has gone up. In 1968, it was $9.00. Last year, it was about $13.25. So inflation is taking its toll even though the library budget has gone up, you might say, drastically. W&L: Has the staff been upgraded? LEACH: The library faculty has increased from four professional librarians to six. The supporting staff is now 10. The faculty is diversified in their educational backgrounds: two Southerners, one from west of the Mississippi, two from the Midwest, and one from the East. Two members have lived and worked abroad. ‘The supporting staff includes two members with graduate degrees and extensive working or study experience abroad. W&L: What other steps are being taken to improve services? LEACH: We are expanding the microfilm collection as we add to the periodical holdings which we need. We turn to film to save space and frequently it is the only way periodicals are available in practical form. We have not gotten into microfiche yet. With the gift of a cassette player from Richard Gooch, Class of 1930, we have just 9 om begun to acquire cassettes which are a relatively new format in library collections. W&L: You feel then that the University is doing every- thing within its ability to maintain the strength of McCormick as a sound library? LEACH: Yes, according to its capacity to budget. I will never say that we couldn’t always use more. But I have found the administration of the University more than enthusiastic in supporting the development of the library—to meet the needs of the faculty and the stu- dents—and it has gone one step further in giving con- sideration to the needs of the Lexington community as a whole in the use of its resources, which is rather unique today and certainly a positive contribution to society. A rule of thumb of accrediting agencies is that a college or university should spend a minimum of 5 per cent of its educational services budget on the library program. Our average is about 5.3 per cent. It is true that many colleges with which we compare our- selves are putting in 7 to 10 per cent. But I think as we evaluate what is happening here that we have to look at the total picture, and I certainly have no uneasy feelings about the amount of money that the Uni- versity is putting into the budget. WkL: Don’t the statistics show that our library makes its services available to students and to others more hours a week than almost any other? LEACH: Compared to the number of staff we have including the number of student assistants we use, I am sure that is correct. We are open about 117 hours a week during the fall and winter terms. Prior to and during examinations, we are open 138 hours a week. However, during the last couple of years it is noticeable that libraries at other schools are beginning to use the same time span we are using—about 104 to 110 hours a week. W&L: How do we compare in terms of the sophistica- tion of services provided? For instance, you say we sub- scribe to roughly 1,000 periodicals. Is that good or bad? LEACH: That involves a question of quantity and quality. The qualitative issue is the heart of your ques- tion. This summer, for instance, we are doing a full WeL inventory of periodical holdings, right to the latest issue on the shelf. We are discovering that we have on our shelves peripheral journals, and we are discarding them. Now when we discard these marginal journals the Statistics go down quantitatively. But qualitatively, in terms of the academic objectives of the University—the courses that are taught—we are going up. We can easily accumulate all kinds of things, put them on the shelf, and run up the statistics. ‘Theoretically, someday some- one will come along and find a need for anything pub- lished, but in the long run we realize that peripheral resources are seldom valid to the University’s goals. So when we compare ourselves statistically we may find others with 1,500 titles, but what we don’t know is what percentage of them might be in what we consider the peripheral category. There is a trickier area in which we have been highly selective. There are propa- ganda publications that come in, some of which contain very interesting information, but we seldom keep them. We do make them available for a limited period of time on shelves in a reading room. W&L: What do you mean by propaganda? LEACH: It’s a publication expressing a particular point of view such as publications from the ministries of information of foreign governments or those which express particular political or economic points of view, and the like. We may not keep it. The reason at this point has to do with University academic objectives, September 1974 with space, with demand, and with the lack of access to them through indexing. A university like Johns Hopkins, which has a totally different objective, would likely keep such material without question. WkL: These decisions then are largely logistical? LEACH: Well, they are logistical, but we must be careful that they are also based upon the academic objectives of the University. Our mission is to support the learning process, that is the courses being taught, and also to support the personal development of the individual by providing both the informative and the cultural. W&L: Is this library doing that? LEACH: Yes, without a doubt. I can see it from the way people use it and from the feedback that we re- ceive. Probably one of the greatest things we have going at W&L today—and I would like to emphasize the point— is that everybody has easy access to whatever we have. Secondly, there is the effectiveness of the Honor Sys- tem. We have valuable books on open shelves that have remained there because of that principle, that in other situations may well have been lifted and denied to others. ‘That is what justifies our purchasing, if I may be flippant for a moment, something like Playboy as opposed to some other periodical. My point is that Playboy does have an aspect of literature that is valid in a college library, but it also has a reason for being there purely in the interest of recreation. That is also valid. The educational process is concerned -with the whole man, and the whole man is a combination of vari- ed interests. When we subscribe to Playboy we may cut out some other journal. Knowingly or unknowingly—I don’t think we would do it knowingly—we might do it in a way that some individual might question. We do have a limit on what we can purchase, and we do some- times have to make a decision that is not always favor- able to all individuals, but the intent is to be in the best interest of the total academic community. W&L: Did it become apparent to you at the outset that Washington and Lee needed a new library building? LEACH: Yes. Before I came, the University had called in an architect, Mr. J. Russell Bailey of Orange, Va. 3 He apparently went through the building in some detail and didn’t waste any time in saying it was not worth remodeling. Partly for structural reasons, partly be- cause of location, and so forth, it would be better to build a new structure. And right after I came here, Mr. Bailey came back and we went over the building in detail. It was at that point that he gave the University an estimate that it would cost around $750,000 simply to rewire and replumb the building—things of that kind—and still not increase the space. I mean space to meet the needs for reader stations, books, and micro- film readers, for example. WkL: Just how critical are the space needs in Mc- Cormick? LEACH: There are really three approaches to that: One is the often stated cliché about the explosion of knowledge. ‘That involves the growing number of books and journals being published. A healthy large library’s average growth is roughly 5 per cent a year. With gifts, we generally reach around 10 per cent. The amount of shelving space that we have at present in McCormick, not allowing for a dead storage attic approach and not allowing for taking over the space that we have loaned out as a Classroom, may last three more years without resorting to drastic measures such as, say, installing shelving in the halls and turning to the use of dead storage in the attic, which I am really trying to avoid. W&L: And the second approach? LEACH: That is more serious at the moment than the storage of books. This is the attrition on user space. Within six years we have lost some four to five dozen seats or more. These losses were caused by the installation of shelving and filing cabinets, the addition of a cassette room, the conversion of space for four additional faculty offices, and several other rearrangements that made for more efficient operations. There is less and less space to study each year in McCormick. In the bibliography room, for instance, we have had to remove a study table to put up shelving to house bibliographic tools there that are coming in at a rapid rate. Another example is the loss of private study space on the ground floor. We have lost four small rooms to offices. It is harder and harder for a student or faculty member who wants 4 privacy to find a nook to be by himself. What will ulti- mately happen, unless the new building progresses rapidly, is that the hallways and other areas will become stack areas. W&L: And the third? LEACH: From the standpoint of layout and efficiency, we are rapidly reaching the point where we will have to provide a map for our users to use the building satisfactorily. Also we require additional staff because of the layout of the facilities. WL: As things stand now, what kind of picture do you draw of the week of exams? LEACH: We are particularly crowded during the fall and winter terms. The last winter term is what I re- member most vividly. There are approximately 400 seats in this building, and there was no such thing as a vacant seat during March. They were occupied from the time the building opened until it closed. Now that may have something to do with the way students study, which I don’t want to comment on, but the place was literally overwhelmed in those two terms during the month preceding examinations. W&L: What about the spring term? LEACH: The number of students using the library is not as great, but they use the library more readily in doing independent research to which the curriculum is WeL LEACH: : ms tronic. The in any way as a_ intent is to provide, for Parsons This is a story about mak- ing a bureaucrat happy by beating him at his own game. All it takes is a wonderful way with words and good humor in the grip of bureau- cratic fog. Not long ago, Frank A. Parsons, ’54, assistant to President Huntley, was fill- ing out an application for assistance under the Higher Education Act for Washing- ton and Lee’s new library. He was dealing with the sec- tion on what impact the new building could have on the environment. After grap- pling with questions on sub- surface drainage, airspace in- trusion, noxious emissions, and interruption of services to the aged and _ infirmed, he came to a section on “Animal Populations” and this question: “To what extent will your proposal create or precipitate an identifiable long-term change in the _ diversity of species within the animal population of your proposed environment, and increase or decrease’ the population density of an in- dividual species of animals within his natural habitat?” Frank’s answer: “There are some 10 to 20 squirrels living, or appearing to live, in the site proposed for the new library. Some trees that now provide eith- er homes or exercise areas for the squirrels will be removed, but there appears to be am- ple other trees to serve eith- er or both of these purposes. No major food source for the OF WEL, red tape, and bushy tails squirrels will be affected. It is likely that the squirrels will find no difficulty in adjust- ing to this intrusion into space heretofore their do- main. They have no appar- ent difficulty in adjusting to relocations brought on by non-federally supported pro- jects. The squirrels are the most visible inhabitants of the site. There are occasional sightings of rabbits, skunks, and snakes. No effort has been made to date to deter- mine whether these are resi- dents or transients. Some birds nest in trees that will be removed, but as noted earlier, there is no scarcity of other equally suitable trees that will remain. Insect population is normal for the site.” The next question was: “To what extent will your proposal create or precipitate an identification change in the behavior patterns of an animal population?” Frank’s answer: “As noted above, the squirrels will have to make some adjustments. They are generally friendly now, rang- ing somewhere between the approachability of your gen- eral ‘Capitol Square’ type of squirrel entirely dependent on human _ handouts = and those skittish ones complete- ly wild. They appear to ac- cept students and _ others about, but none has ever been seen accepting food from a human’s hand. It will be difficult to tell if they’re unhappy about having to find new trees to live in and sport about. Otherwise, no change in their behavior pat- terns is anticipated.” Then the questionnaire asked: “To what exent will your proposal bring about an iden- tifiable genetic change within an animal population or po- tential capacity to create a genetic change in animal populations?” And Frank replied: “The library would appear to have no capacity for af- fecting the squirrels’ or other animals’ genes.” The application was duly filed and ultimately reached the Division of ‘Training and Facilities, Bureau of Post- secondary Education, Office of Education, Department of Health, Education, and Wel- fare, Washington, D. C. A few days later, President Huntley received a_ letter from Richard R. Holden, di- rector of the division. He wrote: “Bureaucracy, red tape, and applications forms all seem to share common characteristics of being approbrious, but necessary. Occasionally, bu- reaucrats like myself feel we have minimized red tape and simplified application forms to the nth degree. However, even that delusive feeling is not a happy one as we know there are requirements that must be improved and ques- tions that must be asked that always are not germane to all applicants. ‘Fortunately, we meet our match from time to time and to our joy these stalwart per- Did he says, “Nuts”? sons with usually great wit and charm. Perhaps bureaucracy will tremble, but I salute Washington and Lee University and the applica- riposte tion preparer anonymous who completed the attached part of the environmental Statement for assistance un- der Title VII A of the High- er Education Act. “The mountain of paper- work which confronts me daily somehow seemed much smaller the day I read about the squirrels in Lexington, Virginia. May they and your great University co-exist in harmony for many, many years.” President Huntley replied identifying Frank as the pre- parer of the application and adding, “As his answer brightened your day, your letter brightened ours.” Parsons, who looks on his job of filling out federal ap- plications as penance for past and future sins, couldn’t re- sist a further comment on the squirrels and federal bureau- cracy. “Nuts!” WeL - Pb > - ae - - gts - Bee aa eae 8 a ar = “ - a - wet Seminar in England, ’73 7 i} aS OS i aN nar sessions, held in the lounge of our hotel, we gained insights into the acting and directing styles of the major Shakespearean companies, actors, actor-managers, and directors from Richard Burbage, the premier tragedian in Shakespeare’s repertory company, through ‘Thomas Betterton, Colley Cibber, and David Garrick during the Restoration and eighteenth centry, John Philip Kemble, Sarah Sidons, Edmund Kean, and Charles Macready in the Romantic era, Samuel Phelps, Charles Kean, Ellen Terry, and Henry Irving in Victorian times, to Herbert Beerbohm-Tree, William Poel, Harley Gran- ville-Barker, John Gielgud, Laurence Olivier, Michael Redgrave, Tyrone Guthrie, and Peter Brook in the twentieth century. At this point, lest I give the erroneous impression that the students were assiduously toiling scholars for the entire six weeks, I must briefly catalogue some of our extra-academic activities in and around London. We learned first hand the truth of Dr. Johnson’s adage, “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.” At first we made obligatory visits to the standard tourist sites—the Tower, St. Paul’s Cathedral and Wren’s City Churches, Westminster Abbey, the Changing of the Guard at St. James’s and Buckingham Palaces, the King’s Road “scene,” the parks—but before long we be- came more adventuresome and explored some less fa- miliar, but equally charming parts of London’s infinitely various nature. We, of course, went regularly to the theatre and concert hall, the most memorable concert being the Good Friday performance of Bach’s St. Matthew Pas- sion at the Royal Festival Hall where we had a serendi- pitous encounter with W&L sociology Prof. Emory Kimbrough, who was on a research tour of England’s “New Towns.” We saw at least a dozen plays, including ones by Moliere, Shaw, Chekhov, Ibsen, and, not sur- prisingly, five of Shakespeare’s. Robert Kidd, a director at the Royal Court Theatre who had directed Macbeth at Washington and Lee two years ago, was kind enough to get us tickets for Christopher Hampton’s new play, Savages, starring Paul Scofield. Moreover, Robert Goodell, past professor of German at Washington and 10 = hee , & ae " # . id os ; : Aa ii id Pit ‘ 4 a ‘ , ory or i eee 4 ‘ ‘ “ae ' io “ ih | ‘hie ; ot Left: Seminar participants at Kings College, Cambridge.

Lee and recently retired Cultural Affairs Officer at the American Embassy, arranged a most stimulating discus- sion with George Murcell at St. George’s Elizabethan Theatre in Islington. Murcell, an accomplished Shake- spearean actor with years of experience in both the Royal Shakespeare and National Theatre companies, plans to stage Elizabethan dramas in a_ playhouse modelled on the original Globe Theatre. We toured most of the major cultural repositories: the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the National Gallery, the Tate Gallery, the National Portrait Gallery,.the London Museum in Kensington Palace, the British Theatre Museum, the Courtauld Institute, and the Wallace Collection. We also took excursions to Greenwich, Hampton Court, Windsor Castle, Knole Park, and to Rochester— and thereby hangs a tale. Another friend of Washing- ton and Lee, David Cleggett, a scholar of Virginia his- tory in his leisure hours, provided us with one of our most vivid memories. After giving us a tour of Rochest- er’s antiquities and Dickensian buildings, Cleggett invited us to dinner at his home in Maidstone, Kent to meet a number of “sixth form” students as well as the Mayor and Mayoress of Maidstone. It was strange enough to walk into an English home, decorated with pictures of Richmond and our campus, and be served sherry on cocktail napkins embossed with the Wash- ington and Lee crest. It was passing strange, however, to witness Cleggett, a Tory banker, addressing the Com- munist mayor, resplendent in his official regalia, as “Your Worship” all evening! Though I suggested that such a title might be a fitting way for my students to show proper respect for their professors, somehow it never caught on. In retrospect, probably the highlight of the program was our 800 mile, week-long trip through the English countryside to the Lake District and back to London. Each night we stayed at ‘bed and breakfast establish- ments much like our “tourist homes” in the States. Such WeL a journey replicated the underlying cyclical pattern of many of Shakespeare’s plays—temporary withdrawal from the City to the “green world” of the Country followed by return to civilization, the participants in this archetypal journey being renewed in ineffable fash- ion by the dream-like experience. In short, what began for us as recreation became re-creation. After I finally discovered reverse in our rented mini- van, we drove without further incident to Oxford, seat of England’s oldest university. (University College, founded in 1249, is five hundred humbling years older than the tiny academy to which Washington and Lee traces its origin.) There we were met by Marvin “Swede” Henberg ’70, a Rhodes Scholar at Magdalen College, who gave us an insider’s tour of the principal Oxford Colleges, the haunts of such worthies as Dr. Johnson, Sidney, Locke, Peel, Raleigh, Arnold, Ruskin, More, Gibbon, Bentham, Wren, Shelley, Toynbee, the Wesleys, Adam Smith, Thomas Browne, and T. E. Lawrence. (This year Ralph Smith ’73, a Rhodes Scholar at Corpus Christi, provided a similar service for Prof. Edwin Craun’s group.) En route to Stratford-upon-Avon the next day we stopped at Blenheim Palace, the modest home of the Marlboroughs and the birth-place of Winston Churchill. During our two days in picturesque Stratford we visited the Shakespeare birthplace properties, watched the color- ful Morris dancers perform in the street, punted on the Avon, and attended the Royal Shakespeare perform- ances of Richard II and Romeo and Juliet at the Shake- speare Memorial ‘Theatre. From Stratford we travelled to the medieval city of Chester by way of Warwick Castle and Kenilworth, the magnificent ruins of the castle where Queen Elizabeth was entertained by her favorite courtier, the Earl of Leicester. The next two days, spent largely in the Lake District so justly celebrated by the Romantic Poets, in- cluded visits to Castlerigg Stone Circle, a spectacularly situated “henge” monument, and to various sites of literary significance. Perhaps our hours spent climbing among the craggy hills of Borrowdale Valley overlook- ing Derwentwater remain the most memorable of all.

Having barely resisted the impulse to remain in the vernal wood, we reluctantly left the Lake District, crossed the North Riding, and motored down the Al to Lincoln, dominated by its magnificent cathedral. From there we drove to Cambridge where we were met by Michel Marcoux ’66, a graduate student in international law at Queens’ College, who guided us through the splendid King’s College Chapel, the Wren Library, Pepys’ Library, and the venerable colleges which educat- ed such luminaries as ‘Thomas Gray, Robert Greene, Spenser, Harvey, Marlowe, Fletcher, the Walpoles, Keynes, Erasmus, John Fisher, Sterne, Coleridge, Mal- thus, Milton, Darwin, Wordsworth, Samuel Butler, Pepys, Newton, Macauley, Tennyson, Byron, Dryden, Fitzgerald, Marvell, and Oliver Cromwell. Next day, after visiting Audley End, the Jacobean home of the Cornwallises, we re-entered London not altogether ready to return to the rigors of research. The rhetoric of roll-calls, of course, can only sug- gest the incredible broadening of our physical and intel- lectual horizons which took place during our six short weeks in England. What should be clear, however, is that much of our new knowledge can be directly attri- buted to the enabling powers of those people who con- tinue to regard Washington and Lee with special affec- tion. I suspect many of my colleagues could also tell how their new curricula have been similarly enriched by the expertise and generosity of people like Robert Kidd, Robert Goodell, David Cleggett, Swede Henberg, and Michel Marcoux. The experience, then, served to reaffirm my convic- tion that the abiding strength of Washington and Lee resides in its human _ resources—its students, faculty, alumni, and friends—and their collaborative potential. In recent years we have been sensitized to the Univer- sity’s acute financial needs, but we must not overlook the equally important need for the mutual commitment of our other “talents” to Washington and Lee if we are to approximate its humanistic ideals. 11 = ae - ee Bae x Z Es : a Ve ‘Bera * Pos a Five Student Body presidents gathered in the Student Executive Committee room for interview: Bob Brennan, Doug Schwartz, Ben Bailey, Fran Lawrence, and Steve Robinson. Five Student Body presidents discuss life at W&L today During the 1973-74 academic year, three immediate past presidents of the Student Body along with the cur- rent president and the president-elect were all in school. They were: Fran Lawrence of Lexington, a second-year law student, 1970-71 president. Steve Robinson of Alexandria, Va., a second-year law student, 1971- 72 president. Bob Brennan of Williston, N.Y., a 1973 graduate doing fifth-year work in premedicine, 1972-73 president. Doug Schwartz of Great Neck, N. Y., a senior law student, 1973-74 president. Ben Bailey of Parkersburg, W.Va., a rising senior, who will be president for 1974-75. Late last spring, the editors of WeL sat down with all five and talk- ed about student life at Washington and Lee. Here are excerpts from that conversation: Q: Is the quality of student life at W&L today what it should be? BRENNAN: I'm not sure that social life is where it should be, but it has improved in the five years that I have been here. The opening of the 12 new Student Center in my freshman year and things like allowing fresh- men to have cars have given students more liberty. ‘This has resulted in a break away from the fraternities, which I think is good in that people now join fraternities because they want to and not just because that is the only alternative to a social life. And I think the Student Activities Board, which the present Student Executive Committee started this year, has done a good job in provid- ing entertainment during the week. ROBINSON: I think there is more of a University community now than there was three or four years ago. There has been a move back to cam- pus. There is much more to do on campus. There are a lot of people around on weekends. And I think they are trying perhaps to get a little bit more out of school instead of de- voting themselves to the countryside and things like that. LAWRENCE: I am really excited about there being so many different kinds of activities today. There are all kinds of movies on campus now and there was the Shakespeare com- pany that was brought to campus this year. There is an Outing Club, and people are interested in a lot of out- door activities. Q: What is the Student Activities Board and its benefits? SCHWARTZ: The board serves as a focus for community life. Its objec- tive is to create a W&L community by providing various activities for various kinds of students, ranging from dances and concerts to lectures, clubs and committees. The basic goal is to take the student out of the coun- try and from the fraternities into the school so that they can all enjoy cer- tain aspects of the W&L community together. All credit belongs to the Student Activities Board for reviving Fancy Dress this year. I know some students did not enjoy it and would not go to Fancy Dress, but a vast number of students did go. Many thought it was one of the best activi- ties that they had enjoyed in their W&L career. BAILEY: We just finished appoint- ing the people who are going to run the Student Activities Board this year, and they are planning an even bigger and better Fancy Dress. Those being interviewed made a comment that I think is most interesting and WeL that is that the faculty and the ad- ministration enjoyed Fancy Dress every bit as much as the students did. This goes a long way, I think, toward vitalizing the University community. Q: What were the toughest problems you encountered as president? ROBINSON: I think apathy was my biggest complaint. It seemed to me that the Student Executive Commit- tee and its subcommittees kept trying to do a lot of things, and there was no student interest at all. I don’t think apathy is as big a problem at all now. Maybe it is because things have been brought back to campus, and people are much more involved. But when I was president I found a general indifference to just about any- thing, particularly the Honor System, to be particularly frustrating. If the Honor System is going to work, the students are going to have to enforce it and not the 12 people who sit in here [EC room]. This year, I think, is the first year in a long time that a significant number of violations were reported by students. My year as president, I think, we had about one out of 10 reported by students. The rest came from faculty or staff mem- bers. I think the fact that more stu- dents are reporting violations is a plus for the Honor System. It is for the students, and the students should run it. The faculty should become involved only when there is written work or something like that. Q: Do any of you doubt the Honor System will survive as a way of life at W&L? SCHWARTZ: I think the concept of honor at W&L is something ingrain- ed in this University, and it is some- thing, hopefully, that will remain in- grained. I think it is necessary as long as there is a University. I think it is one of the fundamental parts of a liberal education. LAWRENCE: I am at the point now where I am not exactly sure what September 1974 Fran Lawrence . . . hope that economics never force us to get considerably larger ... changes I would advocate in the sys- tem. But I think we probably argue far too much about that kind of thing. I don’t think it is terribly im- portant to the Honor System or the concept of honor here whether the system is radically changed or chang- ed only a little bit as long as there is an effort on the part of those who are here to impart to people who are coming in a sense that the Honor System is important to them and the people who are coming in pick it up, which I think they will do. But I don’t know that the long debates we have had over whether there should be an absolute penalty or whether there should be a one year’s suspen- sion is so very important—only in the sense that it may have to change some, but if it has to, it will. SCHWARTZ: I disagree with you on one point in that I think discussions of the procedures of the Honor Sys- tem—the thought about the Honor System—is extremely important to reinforce belief in the Honor System. I think a thorough discussion of the way the Honor System works and why it exists is exactly what keeps the Honor System viable and always will keep it viable. BAILEY: I don’t have the experi- ence with the Honor System in terms of time that the others do, but even Steve Robinson. ... more of a university community here now...a move back to campus... in my limited experience with it, I have always had this sense of im- minent disaster—that the Honor Sys- tem is on the verge of collapse. I have now decided that is an illusion—a healthy illusion. I came to that con- clusion after talking recently to some alumni who served on Executive Committees in ’64, °54, and °44. I found that although we like to think that our problems are unique—and the forms our problems take often are—but the substance of them in the matter of the Honor System is noth- ing new. I think it is good that we are questioning it. I think that the dis- cussion that Doug in particular arous- ed on the Honor System this year is very healthy. I think we should never lose our fears, but I don’t think we should start bailing out either. BRENNAN: I think Fran pretty well summed up the way I feel about it. When I think of the Honor System, I think about concept, and I think that concept will mold the structure itself. If you start getting hung up on the procedures themselves and try to use those procedures to reach the end of honor, then I don’t think that is the right way to approach it. [Editor’s Note: There ensued a long and involved discussion about what specific changes, if any, should be made in the Honor System—whether 13 the absolute penalty of expulsion from W&L for an honor violation should be replaced by graduated penalties and whether there should be refinements in the procedures for public honor trials which are on the increase. Opinions ranged from advo- cacy of graduated penalties involving perhaps suspension of one year for offenses considered minor to the ar- gument that graduated penalties smell of legalism and discipline and not honor. There was also a feeling expressed that the EC tends to be stricter in the application of penalties for honor violations than students as a whole because the EC is often iso- lated from student opinion—hence the tendency of student juries to ac- quit in public honor trials. ‘There was also opinion that perhaps graduated penalties are already built into the system since student jurors, even in a public trial, will convict those who they feel acted with malicious intent while exonerating those whom they judge guilty of a technical offense, the penalty in these latter cases being a reprimand growing out of the fact of the trial itself and a loss of status. But there was no firm consensus on what changes should be made in pen- alties or trial procedures. | Q: Is enough being done in the first instance to convince W&L students to live the concept of the Honor System? BAILEY: My class and this year’s undergraduate senior class didn’t have a very intensive Honor System orientation when they arrived on campus. The practice of orientating freshmen at Natural Bridge was re- instated last year, and it will be con- tinued. I think this year’s freshman and sophomore classes are a lot better equipped to work with the Honor System than my class is. Orientation as far as I am concerned is really the key to having a strong Honor Sys- tem. I don’t see how you can have it if you didn’t have orientation, and you still may not have it even if you do. But orientation is the best chance 14 Bob Brennan ... good Student Body here and it’s to them that we have to look... the Honor System has. I think it has been good. Q: But are students less committed to the Honor System now?e LAWRENCE: If students are too apathetic to get 12 people to serve on a jury, then I think we are really in trouble. But as long as everybody goes down there [to the trial] and has ° a commitment to at least carry through the trial, that says something that we take for granted. ROBINSON: I don’t think people fear the Honor System the way they used to. There is not the stigma at- tached to someone who is acquitted after an Executive Committee hear- ing. SCHWARTZ: Steve didn’t make a judgment on the fear of his day as opposed to now, but I think it is a great advantage now that people don’t fear the Honor System. I tried to stress that in my orientation speech, that you shouldn’t fear the Honor System; you should believe in it. If you have to fear honor, it’s not worth much. Q: Do you feel that the building of the Woods Creek Apartments to pro- vide University housing for upper- classmen is a good trend? Doug Schwartz ... concept of honor is fundamental to a liberal education ... ROBINSON: I think it is good be- cause it will bring people to the cam- pus. LAWRENCE: Perhaps more on-cam- pus housing should be provided for those who want it, and in the past maybe we haven’t provided enough. Maybe with Woods Creek we will have it. But I really have two feel- ings about on-campus housing. One is that I think it is important to have a center of activities here on the cam- pus. On the other hand, I think it is important to have, in some sense of the word, a non-resident university. I hope the day never comes when 80 percent, say, of the students live on campus. The University is basically in the business of educating people, and its emphasis should be first on the quality of faculty, second on the quality of the necessary educational facilities, and then it should take as little responsibility elsewhere as pos- sible. SCHWARTZ: I think Fran’s point is really interesting. I feel that Woods Creek is good because it will offer students who want it another way of living. But I know in my own life one of the greatest aspects of my edu- cation has been living in the county and getting to know the local resi- dents af Rockbridge County. It is a totally different life style and put me WeL Alumni Fund sets record highs; Class of ‘64 wins two trophies Led by Chairman Calvert Thomas ’38A, the 1973-74 Alumni Fund set new records for dollars and contribu- tors. The total of $422,765 made 1973-74 the third con- secutive year in which the Alumni Fund has established a record for the amount given. Although the Fund fell short of the $435,000 goal the fact that it increased by $11,691 over the previous year was a significant achievement in a year of national economic uncertainty. The total of 4,548 contributors was also an all-time high, exceeding by 17 contributors the record set last year. Because of a larger alumni base, however, per- centage of participation dropped to 35.11% from last year’s record-setting 36.5%. The competition for the Washington, Richmond, and Bierer ‘Trophies was not decided until the final day. The Washington Trophy, awarded to the Academic Class graduated within the last 50 years that contributes the largest amount, was won by the Class of 1938A, Jack Neill, Class Agent, with contributions totaling $13,607. The Class of 1964A, Buck Ogilvie, Class Agent, won both the Richmond and the Bierer Trophies for percentage of participation with 49.8% participation. The Richmond Trophy is awarded to the Academic 16 Class graduated within the last 50 years; the Bierer Trophy to the Academic Class graduated within the last 10 years. The Class of 1964A has won the Bierer ‘Trophy in each of the two years since it was established but will no longer be eligible because it is now more than 10 years since their graduation.

In awarding its Medal posthumously, ABA Presi- dent Chesterfield Smith said Malone was “described by all who knew him as a remarkably warm, generous and gentle person” who made valuable contributions to everything with which he became associated. ‘The president-elect of the New Mexico Bar Association, George Har- ris of Albuquerque, said Malone was “one of the greatest lawyers the state has ever produced.” His friend and colleague in New Mexico, U.S. Sen. Pete Domenici, said Malone had one of the best legal minds he had ever encountered. “The legal profession has lost one of its true shining lights,” Domenici said. In addition to his ABA presi- dency, Malone’s professional activity included terms as president of the American Bar Foundation, director of the American Judicature Society, director of the American College of Trial Lawyers, and fellow of the American Bar Institute. He was a member of the ABA’s House of Dele- gates for more than 20 years. He was also a member of the Presidential Commission on Law En- forcement during the Johnson Ad- ministration and of the American Revolution Bicentennial Commis- sion. When Malone joined General Motors in 1967 as general counsel and vice president, he became the first former ABA president to accept a position in private industry. His friends “back home” commented that he would head a legal team that was larger than the five largest firms in New Mexico. After his election as Rector of Washington and Lee last year, he remarked in a conversation that he a a TD found special satisfaction in that title, as against the title “chairman,” which is more customary in American edu- cation, because of its unique histori- cal significance. ‘The term “Rector” traces back to William Graham and Liberty Hall Academy in 1776. But as with the Rectorship, titles were more than symbolic to Malone. When he was offered the number-two post in the Justice Department in 1952, he wrote: “I accepted the ap- pointment only when I became con- vinced that there was a real service to be performed in trying to ‘get the Department of Justice back on the track’ and that I might be able to make a contribution to that end.” Later he termed his tenure as Deputy Attorney General as “interesting and strenuous’; the wire services reported that he brought a “new look” to the Justice Department. From its inception, Malone was chairman of the Law Committee of Washington and Lee’s Achievement Council, and at the time of his death his group had raised more than $11.7 million toward the 1976 law school goal of $14.5 million in the Univer- Malone on his last visit to the campus in July presided at a joint meeting of the Trustees and the Achievement Council. Ross L. aes re sity’s comprehensive program. His last visit to the University campus came in July, less than four weeks before his death, when he pre- sided at the special joint meeting of the Board and the Achievement Council. His devotion to Washington and Lee was wholly evident then, even in nuts-and-bolts sessions con- cerned with long-range planning and finance. “I could make a speech for about an hour on the spirit of W&L—but that is not my function today,” he told the ‘Trustees and Council mem- bers. But even so, he could not help but mention a few of what he saw as the University’s distinctive character- istics: “the background of the school; the Honor System of the school; the calibre of students we accept at the school. . [ve chuckled so many times,” he said in an aside, ‘“‘about the wives of Washington and Lee gradu- ates who have not had an occasion to be on the campus _ previously. [When they visit at last] they become completely indoctrinated with the W&L spirit.” (Malone also liked to quote his own wife’s observation: ‘There is no fraternity quite as close as Washington and Lee.’’) Some years ago, in a letter to Dr. Fred C. Cole, then President of the University, Malone summed up his devotion to Washington and Lee per- fectly. “I think that it is a privilege to contribute to the support of an institution of the quality of Washing- ton and Lee,” he wrote. “Certainly in my own situation I feel a personal debt of gratitude which can never be adequately repaid.”’ Malone is survived by his wife, Elizabeth Louisa Amis Malone of Roswell, whom he married Oct. 10, 1934; by a sister, Mrs. Edna Malone Schwarz of Ruidoso, N. Mex., and by three brothers, Baynard W. Ma- lone, Earl L. Malone and Charles F.

C., centering around some of its best-known art treasures. The Reeves Collection The famed Reeves Collection of Chin- ese Export Porcelain began its two-year American Bicentennial tour—arranged by the Smithsonian Institution’s travel- ing exhibits service—with a premiere at Norfolk’s Chrysler Museum attended by the Ambassador from China and other dignitaries representing Washington and Lee, state and local governments, and the art world. More than 200 pieces from the Reeves Collection are included in the exhibit, which will visit 10 other museums in eight states, each for about two months, between now and 1976. Many of the pieces in the American Bicentennial show reflect the development of pa- triotic sentiment in the Colonies and, later, in the new nation.

Reeves, who left their entire 2,000-piece collec- tion to the University in 1967, were par- ticularly influenced by men who were im- portant in the early history of Washing- ton and Lee, where Reeves earned his law degree. Still other pieces trace the ‘“‘westernization” of China, principally by missionaries, and the development of commerce between the Orient and the New World. A number of special friends of the University were hosts at an authentic Chinese dinner on July 10 prior to the preview and reception held for Tide- water area alumni and members of the Chrysler Museum. Among those attend- ing were Nationalist Chinese Ambassa- dor and Mrs. James C. H. Shen; Mr. and Mrs. Walter P. Chrysler, Jr., founders and patrons of the Museum which bears their name; Virginia Attorney General and Mrs. Andrew P. Miller; the execu- tive director of Virginia’s Bicentennial Commission, Parke S. Rouse ’37, and Mrs. Rouse; President and Mrs. Robert E. R. Huntley; Alumni Secretary and Mrs. Willam C. Washburn, and Uni- versity Treasurer and Mrs. James W. Whitehead. The Reeves Collection American Bi- centennial exhibit will be in Little Rock through Nov. 3; from there it will travel to Nashville, where it will be on display from Nov. 23 through Dec. 29.

The portrait, painted by Charles Willson Peale in 1772 and believed to be the first of Washington made from life, is one of 65 loaned to the Portrait Gal- lery, a division of the Smithsonian In- stitution, from prominent collections throughout the United States and Eng- land. The show takes its title from a statement made in 1818 by John Adams: “The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people: a change in their religious sentiments, of their duties and obligations. . . . This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments and affections of the people was the real American Revoltuion.”’ The Peale portrait was hung in a room of its own (there were 15 rooms in the show in all), illustrating ‘““The Spark That Fired.” The Portrait Gallery chose it as the “symbol” of its first American Bicenten- September 1974 nial exhibition, using a large reproduc- tion of the portrait on posters for the show. In October, the Peale portrait joins several others from the University’s im- portant Washington-Custis-Lee Collection of 18th- and 19th-century portraits for a special show at Mount Vernon—where they originally hung. Mount Vernon describes the show there, which runs from Oct. 4 through Dec. 15, as a “Bicentennial Homecom- ing.” Each portrait will be displayed in precisely the room and position it ori- ginally occupied when Washington lived at Mount Vernon. The Mount Vernon Association has invited Washington and Lee’s Board of Trustees and members of the Lee As- sociates to a special reception Oct. 11 in Mount Vernon itself in honor of the “homecoming.” The reception in Wash- ington’s home will be followed at the Mount Vernon Inn by the annual black- tie dinner of the Associates, held by tra- dition at the time of the autumn Board meeting, which will take place that week- end in Alexandria. Like the Reeves Collection, the Wash- ington-Custis-Lee portrait collection will be on a national tour through mid-1976. The portrait shows are sponsored by the International Exhibitions Foundation of Washington, D.C.; after leaving Mount Vernon they will go next to the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk. The portraits will be on view in museums in seven states before the tour concludes. While it is on tour, the Peale por- trait of Washington is replaced in Lee Chapel by a full-size, faithfully detailed replica, made by Thomas C. Bradshaw, II, a Lexington photographer (whose credits include the cover of Antiques magazine last October showing the Col- onnade on the occasion of its becoming a National Historic Landmark).

The book—a delightful collection of local history and legend, Boley’s own reminiscences, and anec- dotes and gossip swapped in his book- store—contains an introduction written especially for the reprint by Dr. James Graham Leyburn, professor of sociology emeritus and dean emeritus of the Uni- versity; the book also includes 48 photo- graphs by Michael Miley, ‘““General Lee’s photographer” (many of which are from a large collection of Miley plates which were discovered only after Boley’s death and therefore never published before). The book was printed by W&L’s Jour- nalism Laboratory Press under the im- print Liberty Hall Press—taking the name Lee’s predecessor institution which adopted it in 1776, just weeks before the signing of the Declara- tion of Independence. Lexington In Old Virginia is available at $5.95 postpaid from the W&L Bookstore. 22 of Washington and v Archaeological Dig W&L archaeology students are receiv- ing valuable “hands on” experience and are making an important contribution to the University’s understanding of its own history in a unique “dig” which began last spring at the ruins of Liberty Hall Academy. The project, directed by Dr. John M. McDaniel, assistant professor of sociology and anthropology, has already begun to pay off. The outlines of Liberty Hall’s comparatively small campus have been uncovered—even the buried remains of one building which nobody had known for sure existed. Utensils, fragments of pottery, buttons and other such items, each meticulously researched and typed, are permitting Dr. McDaniel’s class to begin developing a picture of how stu- dents at the academy lived and worked.

There are not many—if any—18th-cen- tury college sites in America that have been as perfectly preserved as Liberty Hall; the University believes this com- bination of historical and archaeological research is unprecedented. Liberty Hall was built in 1794, prin- cipally of stone, but with a wooden roof. Early in 1803 the building was gutted by fire, and rather than rebuild, trustees moved the school a mile to the east (to the existing campus site). The ruins re- mained abandoned for 170 years—provid- ing, as it turned out, an ideal resource for student archaeologists. The University expects that the re- sults of the “dig,” combined with other historical research being conducted in connection with the American Bicen- tennial, will contribute significantly not only to the education of the student par- ticipants, but to an advanced understand- ing of college life itself nearly two cen- turies ago. i misplaced it it.
