Marshall Nuckols, Jr., the new Rector of the Board of Trustees (See Page 1) was photographed in his office at Campbell Soup Co., where he granted the editors a lengthy in- terview. In that conversation he talked about the many challenges and opportunities that he and Washington and Lee face in their continuing close relationship. The interview begins on Page 2.

Marshall Nuckols, Jr., of Newtown, Pa., senior vice president of Campbell Soup Co., has been elected Rector of the Board of Trustees. Nuckols succeeds the late Ross L. Malone, who died Aug. 13, less than a year after his election as Rector. Malone was vice president and general counsel of General Motors Corp. Nuckols’ election took place at the autumn Board meeting, held this year in Alexandria. The traditional title “Rector,” which traces back to 18th-century \ Liberty Hall Academy, is the equivalent to chairman of the board. Nuckols has been a Trustee of Washington and Lee since 1969, when he was nominated for Board membership by vote of his fellow alumni—the first Board member to have been elected to office in that manner. He had been national president of the W&L Alumni Association in 1965-66. The new Board Rector earned his B.A. degree from Washington and Lee in 1933 and his LL.B. degree two years later. He was associated with the Wash- ington, D.C., law firm of Covington & Burling from 1935 until 1942, when he joined Campbell Soup. Shortly after joining Campbell, he was named secretary of the company, and in 1949 became its gen- eral counsel (head of the legal staff). He was named vice president in 1958 and senior vice president in 1966. In that position he has responsibility for co- ordination of the company’s legal, financial, accounting, personnel, public relations, and corporate secretarial functions. As president of the W&L alumni association, he instituted the innovative system of “special conference weekends” (see page 7 for news of the seventh) for selected alumni, designed to provide an opportunity to acquire first-hand information about the University and its students—in part by encouraging alumni to spend considerable time with students without faculty or administrators present. As a Trustee, Nuckols has been co-chairman of the Business and Industry Committee of the Achieve- ment Council, the group charged with responsibility for carrying out the University’s decade-long develop- ment program. He has been president of the National Canners Association, a director of the National Association November 1974 E. Marshall Nuckols, Jr., presides at his first meeting of the Board of Trustees after being sworn in as Rector. of Manufacturers, and a director of the Philadelphia Manufacturers Mutual Insurance Co. He is also a director of the First Camden (N.J.) National Bank and ‘Trust Co., and has held several offices in local government. While a Washington and Lee student, Nuckols was vice president of the Student Body and was elected to membership in Phi Beta Kappa, Omicron Delta Kappa, and the Order of the Coif. An Interview With the New Rector Nuckols says of the task ahead: ‘So many things to be done’ W&L: How do you feel about being elected Rector of the Board of Trustees? NUCKOLS: My first reaction to my election as Rector was to wish with all my heart that it were not necessary for Washington and Lee to elect a new Rector. Ross Malone was an outstanding man. He was a close friend of mine. He had been Rector less than a year at the time of his death. It was a great tragedy for Washing- ton and Lee to lose his ability at this particular time. The ideal thing would have been for him to have con- tinued as Rector. Since that could not be, I have to say without question that being elected rector is one of the greatest honors that has ever been paid to me— one certainly not expected. It also carries with it tre- mendous challenges and opportunities. In the few weeks that I have been in the assignment I have been doubly impressed by the magnitude of both the challenges and the opportunities. There are so many things to be done. Wk&L: Would you care to discuss some of the challenges that you feel you face in this job and that the Univer- sity faces? NUCKOLS: The challenge is, I think, pretty obvious. Private education generally is facing one of the most critical periods in its history, perhaps the most critical. There are many people who say that private schools may not be able to continue to exist and meet the competition of the large state universities, the federally and state subsidized schools. I personally believe there is an important place for private independent colleges and that they can exist. But it is going to take a lot of work on the part of alumni and all of the people as- sociated with the University if we are to keep it strong. W&L: Do you feel that this challenge places Washing- ton and Lee under a heavy responsibility to maintain its special position in education? NUCKOLS: Very definitely, because small independent colleges—maybe ‘‘small’’ isn’t the word because this would apply to the larger private colleges, too—have to justify their existence if they are to get the support they must have from foundations, alumni, and others —or in some instances from churches. They have a very definite responsibility to offer something in the edu- cational field that just isn’t available in the public or state-supported universities. Washington and Lee has been doing that in a very unique way throughout its existence. We must preserve that uniqueness. I don’t mean to suggest that there is any question about our surviving because we are going to survive. There is no doubt about that at all. But we do face a challenge in order to continue the University as we have known in the past. W&L: You are the first alumni-nominated Trustee as well as a former president of the Alumni Association. Does this situation give you a certain perspective con- cerning the role of alumni in the governance and fi- nancial support of the University? NUCKOLS: The alumni are playing an increasingly important role. Certainly in the financial area, the Alumni Fund has grown substantially in the last 10 years. Our goal this year is $470,000. Ten years ago we raised $175,500. It has nearly doubled in seven years. And, of course, in the capital campaign—where we have raised something like $24,000,000 to date—much of this has come, if not from alumni, through alumni efforts. So the importance of the alumni can’t be underestimat- ed in any way. The Alumni Board is playing an in- creasingly important role in the general administration of the University’s affairs. They are making a very real contribution and will increasingly do so. WkL: In a recent interview with the Ring-tum Phi you were asked to comment on coeducation. Your re- sponse was that in your opinion a considerable majority of Trustees would prefer that Washington and Lee not go coeducational, but, of course, that options had to be kept open. Would you discuss the factors that might force the school to change tts mind? Wel “It is going to take a lot of work on the part of alumni and all of the people associated with the University if we are to keep it strong.”’ NUCKOLS: In the answer to the Ring-tum Phi I listed a number of the questions that would have to be con- sidered in any study. One, of course, is the effect that co- education or the lack of it has on applications for ad- missions and on the number of applicants accepted who actually enroll and come to Washington and Lee. Is coeducation a factor in our ability to compete with co- educational state institutions that offer much lower tuition? You have to consider what the effect would be upon Washington and Lee in other ways such as the type of courses that you would have to offer. Would it affect your curriculum in a material fashion? What ef- fect would it have upon the physical facilities you would need? What would be the financial effect? All of these are questions that would have to be probed. But the really basic question is what effect would coeducation have upon Washington and Lee as an institution in terms of the quality of education and the character development opportunities it can offer? These are all, I suppose, highly debatable questions or subjects. W&L: Is the decision imminent? NUCKOLS: No. I don’t think any decision is immi- nent. A Trustee Committee to study coeducation was ap- pointed simply because we believe that we have to keep on top of this question and continually re-evaluate it. A study was made several years ago that needs to be updated. But at the moment I don’t think anyone on the Board of ‘Trustees believes there is an immediate prob- lem. The appointment of the Committee does not re- flect any change in policy. The Board specifically made it clear, when it appointed the Committee, that this was not to be interpreted as any expression by the Board of ‘Trustees pro or con. W&L: An announcement that followed the Board of Trustees meeting said that a report would be made within a year’s time. Is that going to be a determination of the question? NUCKOLS: No. In the first place I am not sure when we will get the final report. I would hope that it would be at the May meeting in 1975, but I am not at all posi- tive it will be ready by then. But even assuming it is, that doesn’t mean there is going to be any action taken or any decision made at that time. The Committee’s ef- fort will be simply a fact-finding one, although if the committee wishes to make a recommendation, it is, of course, free to do so. W&L: You mentioned before that we have achieved two-thirds of the 1976 development goal, and we have two years left to receive the other one-third. . . . NUCKOLS: It all depends on what time in 1976 we would like to see this completed. I don’t know what the official time table is, but I hope it isn’t too late in ’76. W&L: Certainly by the time people read this magazine it will be less than two years. Do you feel comfortable having another $12 million to go? Do you think we are going to do it? . NUCKOLS: We have to do it, and we will do it in one way or another. I don’t think it is going to be easy, but it can be done. This is one of the big challenges that we face. 36 by 76 [$36 million by 1976] has to be a slogan or watchword to which we give a great deal of attention in the next two years. W&L: To adapt another Ring-tum Phi question, what is your role in your function as Rector in achieving this goal? : NUCKOLS: Well, as I said in the answer to the Ring- tum Phi, there is an organization in existence with a commmittee of the Trustees headed by John Stemmons. There is also an Achievement Council which involves Trustees, the Alumni Board, and other people who have been asked to serve on the Council. This is all highly organized and functioning. At the same time there is a Current Support Committee under Sydney Lewis that works on the Lee Associates program and the alumni-giving campaign. So the role of Rector is simply one of follow-up and being sure that the things are happening that ought to be happening, and November 1974 ‘To the extent I have additional time and energy I don’t know of any place I would rather spend them than on Washington and Lee.”’ if they aren’t, to see what can be done to make them happen. This is the role that Bob Huntley plays in the administration of the University or that any corporate executive plays in his company’s operations. W&L: What is your personal assessment of the strengths of Washington and Lee? NUCKOLS: That is a very large question because there are so many strengths. One of the best ways of answering it would be to talk about what W&L has meant to me. I suppose the first thing you start with is the fact that it offers an excellent education. Its educational stand- ards are probably higher today than they were when I was in school. In fact, I am sure they are. So we are very strong in terms of offering a superior educational opportunity. This is only a small part of Washington and Lee’s strength. The Honor System and the part that it plays in developing traits of character in young people is extremely important. Washington and Lee also imparts character traits in other ways in terms of experi- ence in being part of a community and adhering to certain standards of conduct or community rules. It probably does this to a better degree than many other institutions do. Why, I am not sure I know. It has some- thing to do with the traditions and the nature of the place. It makes a rather indeliable imprint on most of the people who go there. I am sure you know what I am talking about, but it is very difficult to define. WkL: With your heavy professional responsibilities, you are not exactly groping desperately for things to occupy your time. Why would you have accepted the trusteeship to begin with? Why would you become so involved in University activities and accept this latest imposition on your time? NUCKOLS: It has to be because I have a very high regard for Washington and Lee. It means a great deal to me. I really have a feeling of debt or responsibility to the University because I think it had a major impact— for the good—on my life and career. This is a feeling shared by all members of the Board of Trustees. I don’t believe there is any exception. They all put Washington and Lee at the very high end of their personal priorities of things they want to support and to which they are willing to devote time. It is certainly true in my Case. I have rather heavy job demands I have to meet, but to the extent I have additional time and energy I don’t know any place I would rather spend them than on Washington and Lee. It is that important to me. WkL: In general would you say that all Washington and Lee alumni owe it a debi? NUCKOLS: I don’t know that I could make any gen- eral statement to that effect. I am sure there are some alumni who may not feel that way. I would hope and believe that the majority of alumni feel they owe some- thing to Washington and Lee—if not financially then certainly in the sense that they carried away from Wash- ington and Lee something that has been a help to them in their later life—maybe nothing more than just a re- collection of four very happy years. W&L: You’re an alumnus and have been president of the Alumni Board of Directors, and now you are Rec- tor of the Board. If there is such a thing as an ideal alumnus of Washington and Lee, how would you de- scribe that alumnus? NUCKOLS: I don’t think that you can generalize on that. There are so many different kinds and different types of alumni, and we want it that way. We don’t want to have a mold and fit everybody into a mold. The great strength of Washington and Lee is in developing or per- mitting people to develop their own individual char- acter traits and their own abilities to the highest degree that they can. That being the case, we have many differ- ent kinds of alumni, and that is good. W&L: Do you feel that at this point in Washington and Lee’s history when it is facing these great financial needs, particularly for capital improvements, that alum- nt should take a keener interest in the affairs of the school? WeL NUCKOLS: One of the major jobs that the University administration, the Trustees, the Alumni Board, and everybody else has is to bring about a closer association and participation by the alumni with the University. I am sure you have heard Bob Huntley mention the research work that was done that indicated that most alumni think Washington and Lee is a wealthy school and doesn’t need much in the way of financial help. I have encountered that among some of the alumni with whom I have talked. They don’t see any need to be very active in this area. Somehow we have to develop on the part of all our alumni, or a very high percent, the idea that the support of the University has to be a con- tinuing thing throughout their lives and that they must continually be working in this direction. Some universi- ties have developed this to a very high degree, and some- how we have got to instill this into our alumni and get a much closer continuing support than we now have. I am not belittling what we’ve done because I think we have made great strides, but there is a tre- mendous opportunity to do more in this area. Wk&L: Is there something on your mind that you would like to say that we haven’t asked a question about yet? NUCKOLS: I think you have covered most of the areas that I have had an opportunity to think about and be associated with in the few weeks that I have been in this assignment. I am still trying in my own mind to define just what the role and the responsibility of the Rector are and how far they go. I do get the impression that it can be a very large and important assignment. Wk&L: When your term as Rector expires what would you like to be able to point to as your accomplishments during your tenure in office? NUCKOLS: The primary goal has to be to keep Wash- ington and Lee the outstanding, strong, private educa- tional institution that it is today and to build on its present strengths in every way that we possibly can. Achieving this goal obviously means, among other things, keeping our Development Campaign on or ahead of its target dates and maintaining a strong faculty, ad- ministration, and student body. It also means building a closer relationship between the University and _ its alumni so the alumni have a better recognition of the University’s problems and play a greater role in their solution. W&L: Would you care to reminisce about your years on campus? Is there any episode or incident that you remember fondly? NUCKOLS: I could probably reminisce for a very long time—but I wouldn’t want to get into some of the episodes. ‘They were six very happy years, and I made friendships and associations that I value very highly. There are people that I haven’t seen since I left Wash- ington and Lee of whom I still have fond recollections. W&L: You must+have been part of the Dean Light circle, one of his students? NUCKOLS: Charlie Light was a close friend actually. He taught me when I was in law school, and he was also responsible for getting me my first job when I got out of law school and went to work for a Washing- ton, D.C., law firm. Charlie had worked with the firm and knew many of the partners. He was a native of Washington. He gave me the introduction to the law firm that led to my first job there. W&L: What did you major in? NUCKOLS: I started out wanting to be an engineer and when I graduated from high school planned to go to MIT. My father thought I was too young to go to such a big school in a large city like Boston and that it would be better to go to a smaller school and take an undergraduate course and then. study engineering. So I ended up at Washington and Lee and enrolled my freshman year in what I would regard as a pre-engi- neering course. Washington and Lee then had an en- gineering school. Then I pledged ATO, and the frater- nity said you should get into some extra-curricular acti- vities, so why don’t you work on the Ring-tum Phi, for November 1974 ‘IT wish every alumnus could have the Opportunity to visit Washington and Lee, meet with school officials, and see the University as it is today.” example. Working on the Ring-tum Phi proved very in- teresting and I thought this has to be the greatest career opportunity in the world—I want to be a journalist. So my second year I switched to the journalism school with the idea of taking that as my major. This led to a course in economics and I became completely intrigu- ed with the subject. So the third year I switched to the School of Commerce and Business Administration, where I took a course in business law, and my fourth year I ended up in law school. I guess there was no place left to go so I finished in law. My academic major was in economics. W&L: Where did you live when you were in Lexing- ton? NUCKOLS: I lived at the ATO House during under- graduate years and then in my fifth year I roomed at Charlie Davidson’s. Charlie was a native of Lexington, and I roomed at his home for a year. Actually we were in the same law class. After graduation he also got a job in Washington and we roomed together in Washington when I first went there. Later he was a lawyer and Commonwealth’s Attorney in Lexington and died two or three years ago. My final year, with two other senior law students, I rented an apartment in Dr. Shannon’s home. The apartment was the rooms now occupied by Farris Hotchkiss in the Development Office. W&L: What do you do for relaxation? Do you have hobbies? NUCKOLS: Indeed. The only problem is that I don't have enough time to engage in them. My wife and I are ardent skiers, and we spend as much time during the season as we can in skiing. We take all of our vacation in the winter time. We are going from the Board of Trus- tees meeting in San Antonio to Aspen and Sun Valley and get a little skiing in then. We have a second home in Vermont in ski country, where we spend weekends during the winter and in the summer as well. When I retire from Campbell Soup Company we will move there and make that our home. Unfortunately, they are going to throw me out of Campbell Soup in a couple of years. We also play tennis. My wife and I both enjoy tennis. I have acquired some interest—but haven’t had the chance to develop it as much as I would like—in woodworking and cabinetmaking, and hope to be able to spend more time on that when enforced retirement comes. W&L: You certainly don’t look anywhere close to re- tiring. You say at the end of two or three years? NUCKOLS: I have to retire at the end of 1976. We have a mandatory retirement at age 65. W&L: By the way, what does Campbell Soup think of Andy Warhol? NUCKOLS: We don’t think about him very much at all. He blazed across our path a few years ago, and I suppose he made his original reputation by painting a picture that was nothing but Campbell Soup cans. He did this completely on his own. It was not a promotional idea of ours, and we had nothing to do with it at all. W&L: Is there any particular message that you would like to send to our alumni? NUCKOLS: I wish every alumnus could have the op- portunity to visit Washington and Lee’s campus, meet with the school officials, and see the University as it is today. In my opinion Washington and Lee has never been stronger. It has an outstanding faculty, a strong, highly qualified administration, and an excellent student body. The quality of education offered has never been better. Equally important, the Honor System remains strong and viable. I would also like for each alumnus to recognize that as an individual he will have to play an increasing role in the University’s support if we are to maintain its current strength. Washington and Lee is not a wealthy institution, and if it is to counter the ris- ing costs that inflation brings it must rely more and more upon annual alumni contributions. The alumni must understand the real urgency of the University’s needs for both capital and annual support. WeL Special Alumni Conference Man-on-the-campus interviews sample delegates reaction A selected group of more than 40 alumni, friends of the University, and their wives were on campus, Nov. 14-16, for the Seventh Annual Special Aumni Conference. For three days in small-group sessions, the delegates took a frist-hand, in-depth look at the University’s strengths and needs—and the character of its contemporary students, faculty, and administration. The frank, give-and-take sessions dealt with curriculum and academic affairs, student life, finances, and admissions and student recruitment. About 60 students participated in the conference as members of panels and in informal discussion groups, including about 16 student govern- ment officers. Students, faculty members, and administrators were discussion leaders during the formal sessions. And again there was the the candid exchange between alumni and students during a post-luncheon session at which no University officials were present. The consensus at the end was that the conference had again ac- complished its purpose: to foster better understanding and two-way communication between the on- campus WeL community and the alumni at large. In on-the-spot interviews, several delegates were asked for their im- pressions of the conference. Excerpts from their remarks follow: November 1974 FLEMING KEEFE, ’61 Atlanta, Ga. It has been a very gratifying experience for me to hear the prob- lems of the University and to com- municate with other alumni. I have been very pleased with what I have seen on campus, and I think other alumni have also. I feel that every- one who has the opportunity should certainly come to these con- ferences. The only way, I think, that the University can continue to exist as a small private college is to get more and better support from its alumni. Otherwise, we are going to have to turn to other means of continuing the University as we now know it. ‘I’. HALLER JACKSON, JR., ’48L Shreveport, La. The thing that I have enjoyed most is seeing the students. It has been great. If the University con- tinues with the type of students it has now I think it will continue its leadership in liberal arts educa- tion in the country. I honestly be- lieve that. One thing that has im- pressed me on this visit—I have been coming back yearly for several years—is that this is the first time I have seen the students speaking to strangers as they used to, and this has been a really pleasant surprise to me. Special Conference Reactions WILLIAM N. CLEMENTs, II, ’50 Baltimore, Md. After participating in the confer- ence, I figure the future of Wash- ington and Lee is as strong as ever. It has some problems just as any small college does with regard to funding and financing. But I still think, as I did when I was here, that W&L is a unique spot and will al- ways draw the proper kind of stu- dent. I only wish that more alumni would come back for something like this. What impressed me most about the conference was to learn that the quality of the faculty is as high as ever and so is the quality of the boy that is here—and that is the whole story of the University. C. LANIER KINDER, ’69L Roanoke, Va. I have learned quite a bit about the University that I didn’t learn here at law school. Most of the things I learned pleased me. I was particularly interested in the finan- cial situation of the University. I was here two and a half years, was married, and older than most of the other law students. So we didn’t get involved in undergraduate matters. Now I feel I know the whole pro- gram. I think it would be most helpful if more and more alumni could come to conferences of this kind. The leadership of the Uni- versity is good. President Huntley became president while I was here. I think the Trustees made the best choice then, and this conference hasn’t changed my mind. RoBERT C. Dyer, ’34 Chicago, Ill. I have enjoyed the conference thoroughly. I believe that one of the problems of Washington and Lee and its alumni is that we are scattered so far across the country. Conferences such as this one is a wonderful opportunity for us to visit the University and meet our class- mates. WeL Ear T. JONEs, 30 Raleigh, N. C. What impressed me an awful lot was the hour and 15 minutes we spent with the athletic staff. They explained how much an athlete and athletics mean to a school. ‘Too many of us think of going to school as just studying in the classroom. But you have to have sports. ‘he athletic directors here are of the opinion—and I agree—that the boys who participate in athletics contri- bute a whole lot to the University. So you can’t play down athletics. And I am glad to see that the Honor System, which impressed me when I was in school, is holding on like it is. Naturally, you don’t see the boys dressing now as we did, but they look a whole lot better than at other schools. You don’t see anyone here that you wouldn't think were students. November 1974 JAMEs J. WINN, Jr., ’70L Baltimore, Md. The conference has been very helpful. It reinforced the feeling that I have always had. I think that people who have come to this school, have gone away, and haven't continued their relationship with the school are really losing something that they should perhaps try to get back into. It does help to come back and kind of renew yourself. It is like coming back, plugging into the wall, and recharging your batteries in a couple of days. I have really had a good time here. It has given us some insight into the changes that have taken place in the school since I graduated and moved away from the area. WiLuiAM J. LepBetTer, ’50L Chagrin Falls, Ohio The conference has been good in several ways. It changed my opinion about a lot of things. First, 1 am more impressed with the students, and second, I know the school hasn't gone to pot as I sometimes thought it might have. I feel very good about the future of Washington and Lee. I think having the confer- ence in small groups is very effec- tive. You don’t want a mass audience in this kind of conference. But as many people as possible should be exposed to this program. Special Conference Reactions CHARLES A. TUTWILER, ’24L Welch, W. Va. For one thing, the conference has renewed my faith in the Uni- versity. I never completely lost faith in it, but when I was back here a few years ago, there was some ques- tion about the Honor System— whether or not it was going to be in being. We have discussed that at great length, and I think from what I can understand that it is probably stronger now than it has been for some years. Financially, we seem to be in fairly good shape. The faculty is strong. The alumni are stronger than ever. It has been a most reward- ing experience. I feel wonderfully well about the future of Washington and Lee. 10 GEORGE W. Harrison, ’36 Henderson, N. C. The conference has been great. It is my first, and not knowing exactly what the mission was before I came, I think I realize now. I think it has equipped me to do a better job of service for the Uni- versity. I feel good about the future of the University. Of course, being an old alumnus, I still can’t accustom myself to the way the students dress and attend classes. We used to have to wear coats and ties, and if we didn’t, they had a little committee that took care of that. But somewhere or another that has broken down. I would like to see it as General Lee would like to see it. RoBeErt G. (Bo) Brooxsy, ’72 Greensboro, N. C. This conference, in my Case, has been particularly important. It has shown me what the student body is really like now and the changes— although they have not been too significant since I have been out. I think I have learned that the stu- dent today is a bit more mature than perhaps even as recently as five or six years ago. It is good to see that they are here primarily for their thirst for knowledge and to further their education. More freedom has been granted students, allowing them to make decisions that we had made for us. This carries with it more responsibility, but these stu- dents seem to be the kind that can handle this responsibility. I am very impressed with that. I think they are a very mature bunch, particularly the freshmen. WeL RosBert W. HILTON, JR., '38 Cincinnati, Ohio I am impressed by the honesty of the University and the tremen- dous detail in which they have worked up statistics about almost every aspect of University life, the financial problems of the University and the University’s plans for the future. I think the two big needs of the University are first-class stu- dents—and alumni can be very help- ful in attracting that kind of stu- dent—and, of course, the second great need is financial help in all areas—financial help to needy stu- dents and financial help to build the new library center which is a tre- mendous need in every department of the University as a teaching tool. I think this is a good place to in- vest your charity dollars. November 1974 DANIEL T. BALFouR, *63 Richmond, Va. I was particularly impressed by the candidness of the administration and the faculty. I was impressed by what I heard about the financial needs of the University. I think most alumni tend to think the Uni- versity is well-heeled, and they think that a five- or ten-dollar contribution is enough to keep it essentially as it always was in the past. It seems to me the University now really needs to dig deep and get financial support in a big way for the library, other capital improvements, and also the endowment. When you look at the endowments of other private institutions, you see how far behind we are. CONFERENCE DELEGATES William H. Abeloff, 57, Richmond, Va; John B. Adams, Jr., ’69L, The Plains, Va.

McDowell, Jr., ’48 souron g = o ec » S, 776-491 At Mount Vernon, ‘the drinks are in the dependency yonder’ Charley McDowell, WeL’s humor- ist-at-large and a 1948 graduate who practically grew up on campus, wrote the following column after attending the “Bicentennial Homecoming” event at Mount Vernon on Oct. 11. The occasion honored members of the University Board of Trustees and the Robert E. Lee Associates, a group of WeL’s most generous supporters. The event marked the return to Mount Vernon of a number of his- toric portraits now owned by the University which hung in the man- sion two centuries ago when Wash- ington lived there. The Mount Ver- non Ladies’ Association was host at a reception for the WeL people, and the WeL Trustees in turn were hosts at a formal banquet for the Lee As- sociates and officers of the Mount Vernon Association. The portrait “homecoming” was another event in the University program to mark the nation’s Bicentennial. Charley’s piece is reprinted here with permission of the Richmond Times-Dispatch. It is about the best house in the neighborhood for a party, especially on a nice evening when you can wander outdoors. It has a columned piazza across the whole front of it, and a really big yard, and a high view of the river in the twilight. For those of you who are not familiar with our neighborhood of Fairfax County, the house is Mount Vernon. We who live in the developments down the road often take guests to see it, or we go out of our way to drive past it very casually to establish the idea that this is not just any old raw suburb. Although we feel very close to Mount Vernon, we are not in- 12 vited over there socially a lot or any- thing like that. So Anne and I were pleased to be invited to drop over Friday night for drinks and dinner. The invitation came from the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association and the Board of Trus- tees of Washington and Lee Uni- versity. ‘The occasion was the “Bi- centennial Homecoming” of some Washington-Custis-Lee family _ por- traits that hung in Mount Vernon when George Washington lived there and now belong to W&L. W&L got hold of the portraits in 1897 as a gift from George Washing- ton Custis Lee, who was Robert E. Lee’s son and successor as president of the college. Gen. Lee’s wife and George Washington Custis Lee's mother, Mary Randolph Custis Lee, was, approximately, Martha Washing- ton’s great-granddaughter. When you go out to dinner at an old house in Virginia, it is well to get the family situation straight in your head, and I tried, but I am still not absolutely certain there should not be another “great” on that grand- daughter. As we approached the house on a path lighted by lanterns, a man from W&L informed us “the drinks are in the dependency yonder.” He obviously was carried away with the mood of it all. At home he would have said the drinks were in the kitchen. The dependency was a kitchen. Beyond the kitchen a cou- ple of hundred people, maybe more, all in formal dress, were strolling on the lawn, talking on the piazza and exploring the mansion. Most of the men were W&L alumni. These events of our country’s Bi- centennial do indeed encourage a sense of the continuity of life. W&L’s president, Robert E. R. Huntley, was receiving guests in George Washing- ton’s house. I was in college with Huntley; he rowed on the crew with Roger Mudd. And Mudd was in George Washington’s house too; his colleague, Walter Cronkite, had tak- en over the “Walter Cronkite Show” for the evening. Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr., of the Supreme Court of the United States was shaking hands in the main hall of the house with the newest justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia, A. Christian Compton. I remember when I lived in The Hollow on the campus in Lexington and Lewis Powell was a law student renting a room a few doors away, and when Chris Compton rode in the second- team car on basketball trips before he was promoted to the first-team car and thence inexorably to the Su- preme Court. Edgar F. Shannon, Jr., the newly retired president of the University of Virginia, was on the piazza with Mrs. Shannon (who mentioned that she had had dinner at Monticello earlier in the week and how was that for the Bicentennial high life?). I remember when Edgar Shannon, a W&L profes- sor’s son, was living on the campus in a house where the Robert E. Lees had lived when they had these Wash- ington-Custis-Lee portraits and where everyone who ever lived rooted against the Wahoos. Three former lacrosse players from Baltimore were in the mansion in- tently studying one of the paintings.

BELOW RIGHT: After the dinner a portrait of the late Mrs. Jessie Ball duPont, a Trustee and a major benefactor of W&L, was unveiled by her brother, Edward Ball of Jacksonville, Fla.; the portrait now hangs in the foyer of Washington Hall. 14 a critic writes that John Wollaston, who painted the mother and chil- dren, “had no gift for characteriza- tion and all the faces he painted are exactly alike.” Anyhow, most of the paintings were attractive and all were fascinating historically. (There are 17 Washington-Custis-Lee portraits in the college collection, eight of them having hung in Mount Vernon two centuries ago. All are going on a na- tional tour after a while.) Dinner was served not in the man- sion itself, of course, but in a con- temporary building a short distance away. At our table, an alumnus from another state asked Edgar Shannon, whom he correctly identified as an- other W&L man, where he was living. oe ee eee eaes Spree eS 2a ie i wy _ “cr SAT ASES Se be ee aE oe eS Shannon said Charlottesville, and the alumnus wondered what in the world he had found to do there. Shannon finally confessed that, well, he had been president of the University of Virginia. The alumnus was shocked but very pleasant about it—and lin- geringly skeptical. Shannon mentioned that he had recently returned to faculty status at the University of Virginia, but mer- cifully he did not mention that he had become a member of the W&L Board of Trustees. It would have been too confusing for the visitor. In Virginia, we understand that things get gloriously mixed up, like the Washingtons, the Custises, and the Lees. WeL $300,000 Lilly Foundation Grant New interdisciplinary programs set in ethics, corporate responsibility TI'wo highly innovative interdepart- mental programs—one in_ professional ethics and another in the relationship between the modern corporation and society—are being inaugurated this year at Washington and Lee under a $300,000 grant from the Lilly Foundation of In- dianapolis. The program in ethics, being directed by Dr. Louis W. Hodges, professor of religion, focuses on the complex value judgments which must be made by pro- fessionals in three principal fields: medi- cine, law and journalism. The corporation-in-society program will be directed by Dr. Charles F. Phil- lips, Jr., professor of economics, and will examine the responsibilities of the corporation toward so-called “external” segments of society such as consumers, local communities, labor, suppliers and charitable organizations—as well as its obligations to its stockholders. Both programs will involve classes and seminars involving teachers and students from a wide range of academic disci- plines, and both will also bring other scholars, professionals and executives to the W&L campus as participants. ETHICS The ethics program is designed to expose pre-professional undergraduates to the realities of ethical choices they will face in fields characterized today by rapid change both in technology and in values—and even in principles. The pro- gram grew, according to Dr. Hodges, from the University’s recognition of an increasing need for specific, systematic attention to questions of human value as they pertain to professional practice — the kinds of critical questions which physicians, lawyers and journalists are now being required to face every day, many of which have not been raised until very recently and on which there is fre- quently no profession-wide consensus of judgment. 16 The programs will also provide prac- titioners in each field the opportunity— the leisure and the resources—to reflect more systematically on ethical questions in their professions than they custo- marily have on a day-to-day basis. In medicine, for instance, principal considerations will be the impact of — and the opportunities provided by — today’s unprecedented degree of techni- cal, legal and social change. How should we decide who may live, when not every- one can? Who should determine the manner in which we allocate scarce medi- cal resources? In the day of so-called “heroic” mechanical methods of sustain- ing certain vital functions artificially, how can we define death? How can we reconcile—or can we at all? — the Hip- pocratic injunctions to prolong life on the one hand and to relieve suffering on the other? The ethics program in law will ex- amine many of the never-resolved, an- cient questions as well as the implica- tions of relatively recent developments in the legal profession itself and in so- ciety as they apply to the practice of law. Questions regarding the very definition of justice are as pointed as ever, and clear or universally accepted answers are at least as elusive as they have been through history. The principle against self-incrimination, for instance, distinc- tive in Anglo-Saxon law, demands con- tinual re-examination. So do the limits and advantages of the adversary system— as they apply to no-fault insurance, to name one example. Questions concerning the very nature of the profession itself arise in concrete form almost constantly. Is the lawyer obliged to devote his tal- ents to the defense of a client just as the client would if he possessed the lawyer’s talent — or must they function strictly as the agent of the court in seeking to deter- mine truth and arrive at justice? In journalism, the ethics program will examine questions which have been argu- ed since the beginnings of mass com- munications as a social institution — the kinds of considerations which have re- ceived unusual attention in recent years and which seem to have been complicat- ed by recent developments, but which in large measure are anything but new to journalism and journalists. There is, to be sure, wide agreement in journalism and in society as to the “large prin- ciples” — that freedom of the press is a vital principle worthy of devotion and vigorous defense. All agree that demo- cracy depends on information and _par- ticipation. But in their day-to-day ap- plication, these broad principles en- counter a wide diversity of opinion. (One basic question here is: Would general agreement even be desirable?) How do we secure “the people’s right to know?” How can First Amendment protections be preserved — and how can we judge abuses while avoiding restrictions on press freedom? Who is to identify what is “news?” By what standards are porno- graphy and obscenity to be judged to avoid both offensiveness to society and the abridgement of a free press? What professional standards ought to apply to “investigative reporting?” To disclosure of confidential sources? Each of the three ethics programs will include a three-credit course, taught by Dr. Hodges in medical ethics and by Dr. Hodges with other W&L faculty members in law (President Huntley, a lawyer; Dr. S. Todd Lowry, who holds the LL.B. degree in addition to his doc- torate in economics; and other profes- sors in both the School of Law and the School of Commerce, Economics and Politics) and journalism (Prof. R. H. Mac- Donald, journalism department head, who had 20 years’ experience in broad- cast news reporting before coming to W&L to teach in 1968). In each program, about 10 practicing professionals will spend four days at W&L during the Winter Term, adding WeL their personal perspectives from the field (and as an end in itself, providing them with the chance to examine considera- tions of ethics in the academic environ- ment). In addition, several hundred books and numerous journals are being added in each field to the collections in the University’s Cyrus McCormick Li- brary, and two nationally prominent fig- ures in each field will be brought to the campus during the year for public lec- tures. All six lectures in professional e.nics will be printed and bound into a single volume for distribution to inter- ested professionals and others. CORPORATION AND SOCIETY The corporation-and-society program will, first, bring together under one um- brella representatives from all the aca- demic disciplines which bear upon the future of the corporate form of business, nationally and internationally. This in- terdisciplinary “task force” will examine the major issues facing the modern cor- poration — issues in economics, business, politics, law, sociology and ethics. In addition to coursework for aca- demic credit, the corporation-in-society program will provide an annual confer- ence on the topic of social responsibility of corporations, involving visiting schol- ars and businessmen from Virginia and elsewhere. The program proceeds from the real- ity that, whether desirable or not, society has determined that the resources of a business can no longer be held solely for the benefit of stockholders — that cor- November 1974 porate management has two, and only two, options: to adapt itself to public and governmental demands for social re- sponsibility, or to have that responsibility forced upon it. And as a consequence, the traditional approach to the teaching of corporate management, with its major emphasis on profit maximization, is no longer sufficient in a practical sense for students who will later occupy leader- ship positions in corporations. The W&L program provides for a comprehensive review of curricula at the University and in other colleges, employ- ing consultants as well, toward the es- tablishment of the initial Washington and Lee course for the Spring Term in 1975. As in the ethics programs, the cor- poration-in-society program will bring a number of visiting scholars to the cam- pus to participate in the course, adding their expertise to that of the W&L fac- ulty. Next year, the initial course will be evaluated and, if necessary or desirable, revised, perhaps into a two-course se- quence. Beginning in 1976, the Spring Term course would become the focal point of the annual conference _in- volving scholars (whose papers would be published afterwards, as will be the papers delivered by visiting lecturers in the ethics programs). After the experience of the first three years, the corporation-in-society program will be evaluated to formulate recom- mendations about incorporating the pro- gram as a permanent part of Washing- ton and Lee’s curriculum. Dr. Louis W. Hodges, director of the ethics program, has been interested in ethics since graduate school. During the past five years, his interest in and study of the ethical questions in biomedical practice have increased, and the courses in ethics he has taught at Washington and Lee have included examination of these considerations. He is co-author of The Christian and His Decisions, and three years ago he introduced a pioneer- ing full-credit course at Washington and Lee in biomedical ethics. A graduate of Millsaps College with the B.D. and Ph.D. degrees from Duke University, Dr. Hodges has taught at Washington and Lee since 1960. Dr. Charles F. Phillips, Jr., director of the corporation-in-society program, is a specialist in government regulation of Dr. Phillips industry, especially utilities. He is the author of the text The Economics of Regulation and two other textbooks as well as more than 30 research articles, including the widely reprinted ‘“What’s Wrong With Profit Maximization?” He has been a consultant to a number of major utilities and other firms which are subject to regulation, including the Fed- eral Reserve System, the New York Stock Exchange, American Telephone & Tele- graph, and Vepco, and he speaks regul- arly at symposia on regulation through- out the country and testifies frequently before state and federal regulatory agencies. Dr. Phillips is an honors gradu- ate of the University of New Hampshire, earned the Ph.D. in economics from Har- vard, and has taught at W&L since 1960. 17 de news briefs PARENTS’ WEEKEND O)More than 1,200 parents visited their University for the 20th annual Parents’ Weekend this fall, highlighted by a series of provocative seminars in which parents quizzed panels of students, faculty and administrators. Also on the agenda were the traditional “Report to Parents” from University officials, President and Mrs. Huntley’s reception, a football game against Denison University, a concert in which all the University’s musical groups participated, and the customary fraternity receptions and other social events and informal ac- tivities. LAW STUDENT WINS AWARD (jRichard F. Biribauer, a third-year law student, won the $250 first-place award in a copyright-law competition at Wash- ington and Lee sponsored by ASCAP, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. Biribauer’s essay— which is now entered in ASCAP’s national copyright-law competition—was entitled “Goldstein v. California and the Protection of Sound Recordings: Arming the States for Battle with the Pirates.” LEE CHAPEL SERVICES REVIVED (JA student committee has re-instituted the practice of tra- ditional Sunday morning non-denominational religious serv- ices in Lee Chapel. Sermons were delivered during the Fall Term by Dr. David W. Sprunt, professor of religion and University chaplain; President Robert E. R. Huntley, and Dean Emeritus James Graham Leyburn. AMBITIOUS THEATRE SEASON O7The University Theatre (the erstwhile Troubadours) em- barked on an ambitious season this year, producing Peter Shaffer’s Equus, the current Broadway and London stage hit (it opened at W&L just four days after its New York premiere) and Moliere’s Don Juan in a new translation by Britain’s Christopher Hampton (who was a visiting professor at W&L two years ago.) After the Christmas break, students will begin rehearsals for Lion in Winter; other plays to be produced in the remainder of the year are Changing Room and, in the Spring Term, two Shakespearean dramas. A WINNING DEBATE TEAM CFAt the end of the Fall Term, debaters had brought home a mid-season total of 10 trophies, including the coveted Wil- liam Wells Chaffin Memorial Award, presented to the top team in the three-state regional Delta Sigma Rho/Tau Kappa Alpha tournament. The Chaffin Award honors the late Prof. Chaffin, debate coach at Washington and Lee from 1960 until his death in an automobile accident in 1970. The 10 trophies captured so far place the 1974-75 W&L debate team substantially ahead of its standing a year ago—when the team 18 DORM NAMED FOR DEAN GILLIAM Pde 4 “$; 2S : oe S bs —s PY a Lad Ea Dean Gilliam at a recent Commencement. The Board of ‘Trustees has named the so-called “new freshman dormitory” for Frank J. Gilliam, dean of students and admissions director at the University for more than 30 years. The dorm was completed in 1962, the year Dean Gilliam retired as admissions director and one year before he retired as dean of students after a career at W&L that began in 1926. In honoring Dean Gilliam, the Board said it is “par- ticularly fitting” that the dorm “continues to serve that group of students who, over many decades, were cus- tomarily the principal beneficiaries of Dean Gilliam’s most direct concern, his first obligation—the freshmen.” The Board said it is unlikely “that any other man ever associated with the University has drawn to himself such breadth and depth of personal devotion, such in- tense sentiments of close friendship. ... He knows, and is known by, the great majority of Washington and Lee alumni and their families. ... His direct influence upon generation after generation of Washington and Lee students has been and remains proud.” The Board also spoke of “the wisdom of his counsel, the comfort of his sympathetic concern, the eloquence of his expres- sion, and the deep-abiding warmth of his personality.” was on its way to earning a total of 17 in its best season in recent years. LIBRARY AID FROM THE FAR EAST FThe Japan Foundation of Toyko has made a $3,600 grant to Washington and Lee for the purchase of library materials during the current year. W&L is one of just 10 American uni- versities and 50 in the world to have received such grants. COEDUCATION STUDY COMMITTEE CjBoard Rector Marshall Nuckols has named a four-man committee of Trustees—Frank C. Brooks of Baltimore, chair- man, and members Joseph T. Lykes of New Orleans, H. Gor- don Leggett, Jr. of Lynchburg and Dr. Edgar F. Shannon, Jr. of Charlottesville—to continue the Board’s ongoing investi- WeL examining structural change and current problems facing public utilities, sponsored by the Graduate School of Busi- ness of Indiana University. (jJRobert Stewart, professor of music, rcceived a “Special Recognition” Award for his work at the First International Brass Symposium, sponsored by the Institute for Advanced Musical Studies in Montreaux, Switzerland. Stewart received the award on the basis of nine of his compositions for brass alone and for brass with percussion. HOYT COLLECTION OF LEXINGTON PHOTOS DKA collection of old photographs of Lexington taken by Dr. William D. Hoyt, a 1932 Washington and Lee graduate who now lives in Rockport, Mass., was on display in W&L’s duPont Gallery during October.

WLUR-FM MARATHON RAISED $1,000 FOR CHARITY (JA 30-hour radio marathon on Washington and Lee’s cam- pus station, WLUR-FM, brought in more than $1,000 for the Rockbridge Area Relief Association over the Thanksgiving holiday. WLUR-FM announcer Thomas Hudgins, a junior from Virginia Beach, stayed on the air the entire time, and 28 Lexington area businesses pledged $1 to the private chari- table association for each hour. In addition, several hundred dollars were contributed by listeners during Hudgins’ “holi- day marathon.” ALUMNUS HONORED IN SEATTLE CStephen F. Chadwick, Sr., of Seattle, Wash., who received his law degree from Washington and Lee in 1914, was honor- ed on Nov. 20 on the occasion of his 80th birthday in Seattle. The event was a testimonial dinner titled “The First 80 Years” that took note of Chadwick’s many years of service to God and man. About 350 Seattle citizens attended the dinner, which was sponsored by the American Cancer Society, American Legion, Ancient Order of United Workmen, Epiph- any Episcopal Church, Seattle Chamber of Commerce, Seattle Historical Society, Seattle/King County Bar Association, 20 Rainier Club, and the officers and board of Rainier Brewing | Co. Chadwick is a former national commander of the Ameri- can Legion and is believed to be one of the few W&L gradu- ates ever to have a V.M.I. parade staged in his honor. The citation in the program recognized him “for his sympathy as a friend, his determination as a leader and his impressive scope of activities and interest as a citizen. Each of your friends who join in presenting this recognition has seen you in a different perspective—as a patriotic American, as a Christian laymen, as a skilled attorney, a board member, a parliamentarian or even as a ferocious domino player... .” CONTACT 1975 (J The annual student symposium CONTACT will bring such distinguished speakers to the campus this winter as Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist (March 4), Pulitzer Prize- winning journalist and author (The Best and the Brightest) David Halberstam (March 3), conservative political columnist and commentator James Jackson Kilpatrick (March 10), eco- nomic analyst Louis Rukeyser (Feb. 26), Dr. Daniel Boorstin, author (The Americans: The Democratic Experience) and di- rector of the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum‘of History and Technology (Feb. 25), and David Brower, militast en- vironmentalist and former president of the Sierra Cich (March 5).

Old George, to- gether with the Colonnade, is perhaps the most familiar and revered architectural fea- ture associated with the University. Tourists by the thousands photograph the statue. The University, therefore, is careful to keep it looking its best. W. Patrick Hinely, ’73, a University photographer, used a_ telescopic lens to record a workman applying a beauti- fying brush to Old George’s nose. 21 Washington and Lee’s priceless Reeves Collection of Chinese Export Porcelain has been chosen as the inspiration for Wamsutta Mills’ premier line of domes- tic linens for Spring 1975—its “Liberty Hall Collection,” named for the Univer- sity’s Revolutionary War-era predecessor institution. The bed linens, which will be market- ed beginning in February, are in three distinctive patterns—‘‘Porcelain Butter- fly,’ with a design derived from the Fitzhugh pattern butterfly used to turn f corners on the border of an 18th-century octagonal platter in the Reeves Collec- tion; “Porcelain Medallion,” with a grape-leaf pattern taken from the garland decorating the inner rim of a bowl craft- ed about 1800; and “Porcelain Garden,” with a floral pattern adapted from the garland and inside decoration on a small teabowl believed to have been owned by Paul Revere. Washington and Lee will receive a royalty from Wamsutta on sales of all items in the Liberty Hall Collection. ‘The revenue will be used in support of the University’s educational programs. Wamsutta President William Fine, who visited the campus last spring to make preliminary arrangements for the manufacture of the linens, said the Liber- ty Hall Collection will be marketed as a tribute by the textile firm to the na- tion’s Bicentennial. The Wamsutta items were introduc- ed to buyers for major department stores One < Porcelain Butterfly Liberty Hall linens aid University Porcelain Medallion 22 University Treasurer James W.

The porce- lain-derived patterns constitute one of three new Wamsutta lines to be intro- duced this spring. Earlier in the fall, Wamsutta officers, including Fine, together with a number of fashion editors and writers and pro- minent New York City retailers, spent a day at Washington and Lee to see at first hand the University and, in parti- cular, the ruins of Liberty Hall Academy, whose name the Wamsutta line bears. The visitors had a picnic lunch at Liber- ty Hall itself and heard a brief discus- sion by Dr. John M. McDaniel, assistant anthropology professor, about the ar- chaeological ‘dig’ being conducted there by his students. The group also visited Lee Chapel and toured the historic Front Campus, and had an authentic 18th-century dinner—served on_ pieces from the Reeves Collection of Chinese Export Porcelain itself—at “Stonegate,” the 1840 home of University ‘Treasurer and Mrs. James W. Whitehead. The Reeves Collection—from which some 200 pieces are now on a nation- wide tour sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution in connection with the Ameri- can Bicentennial—was bequeathed to Washington and Lee in 1967 by Mr. and Mrs. Euchlin D. Reeves of Providence, R.I., who had devoted their entire lives to collecting porcelain. WeL by John Hughes, ’55 Of losing games by inches and don't say ‘aaugh! to Charlie Brown Never did the old sports cliche, “a game of inches,” apply more appropri- ately than this fall for the Washington and Lee football team. The final 1-8-1 record could just as easily have been 5-5 if a few of those “inches” had gone in W&L’s favor. None did. Two losses resulted when the Gen- erals just missed (by inches), a pair of last-second field goals that would have won. Against Centre, W&L rallied from a 19-point deficit to take a 21-19 lead, but lost after several close measurements all went against W&L. But the most bizarre incident turned an apparent victory into a disappointing tie, when visiting Randolph-Macon was awarded a safety on an oOfficial’s judg- ment call which later proved to be er- roneous. It happened in W&L’s Homecoming Game. The Generals were on top, 20-18, in a close game with Macon. The visitors had the ball on W&L’s 1 with just 41 seconds remaining. A long pass appeared to be a sure winning touchdown when W&L defensive back Charlie Brown made a spectacular interception, leaping high into the air in the vicinity of the five- yard line to make a fingertip catch. But Brown retreated into the end zone and the officials signaled the safety, resulting in a 20-20 tie. Because of his name, it was a natural for the head- line writers: (Good Grief, Charlie Brown!) The rules state that when a player intercepts inside the five and his original momentum carries him into the end zone, the intercepting team retains possession at the point of the catch. The game films clearly show this to be the case, but the officials had already ruled otherwise. (Good Grief, Mr. Official). Sports Illustrated picked up this incident and gave it national notoriety. It was just that kind of season for football. But Head Coach Bill McHenry, while disappointed, is not discouraged. “With just one or two exceptions, we 24 played better this year against each op- ponent than last year,” he said. “We have some outstanding young players, and with another good recruiting year we should show definite improvement in our overall football program.” The soccer team posted a 4-5-3 record and a runner-up spot in both the Vir- ginia Intercollegiate Soccer Association (VISA) and Virginia College Athletic As- sociation (VCAA) division championship races. The highlight of the year was a 2-1 victory over Lynchburg College; the Generals lost a 3-2 heartbreaker to cham- pion Madison. Pa et Here Charlie Brown isn’t tackling his own man—he’s sitting hard on an opponent. The cross-country team, led by co- captains Tem Washington and Jim Mc- Menamin, posted a winning 7-6 record. Washington and McMenamin finished 1-2 for the Generals in almost every meet. BASKETBALL SEASON BEGINS WITH VICTORIES Washington and _ Lee’s basketball team is off and winning. At exam break in early December, the Generals, under Coach Verne Canfield, had won three and lost one. The team posted a pair of wins in the inaugural W&L Tip-Off ‘Tournament over Maryville College, 94-67, and Frost- burg State, 50-49 in a double overtime. Then the Generals lost to the University of Virginia, 77-69, in a game that was more of a battle than many people ex- pected. Next the Generals were hosts to Lynchburg and eked out a 63-61 victory in overtime. The remainder of W&L’s basketball schedule follows: Dec. 16—Framingham St. Away Dec. 17—Mass.

He grew up in Ashland, where his father, the late George P. Compton, was a wide- ly respected and even beloved education- al administrator in the Hanover County public schools. He was a Southern Con- ference football official for 25 years, as well, which helps account for the future Supreme Court justice’s interest in sports. The senior Compton was a devoted alum- nus and member of the athletic board at November 1974 Ed R-MC, but the younger Compton chose to go away to school and selected W&L. Compton became an excellent basket- ball player on a good W&L team that competed in a 17-member Southern Con- ference that had many of the schools that are now in the basketball-crazy Atlantic Coast Conference. He was a freshman on the 1946-47 team that made the eight- school tournament in Raleigh. He play- ed forward or guard on teams that sport- ed such notable General stars as Jay Handlan and Bob Goldsmith. And in his senior year when he was captain of the team, Compton joined teammate George Pearson as two of 10 Southern Confer- ence seniors selected to play an All-Star game against Everett Case’s powerful North Carolina State Wolfpack. Perhaps some of the jurist’s earliest observations of life’s injustices came from playing in the tiny hotbeds of fanaticism ee n, Mary Bryan, and Melissa Anne, in a family Easter portrait. (old Doremus was not unique in those days) that passed as basketball arenas around the state of Virginia. At one Virginia institution, which shall remain nameless, students hurled chairs from the balcony to the court while W&L play- ers were shooting foul shots. Another op- ponent positioned members of its foot- ball squad at the end lines to rough up any W&L player following through after a driving lay-up shot. Infinitely more agreeable and beauti- ful than that sort of “blind justice” was a blind date Compton went on at Hol- lins College in 1949. This turned out to be Betty Leigh Stephenson of Richmond, who became Mrs. A. Christian Compton in 1953, a few months after she was gra- duated from Hollins and he from Law School. With daughters Leigh Christian, 9; Mary Bryan, 8; and Melissa Anne, 5, the Comptons are a handsome family. 27 by Milton Colvin Professor of Politics How they balance the ticket at the University of Vienna A funny thing happened to me on my way to a sabbatical in Austria. I had planned to take a full year off and com- plete a study of Armed Neutrality as it applied to Austria and Switzerland. Swiss neutrality was recognized inter- nationally at the Vienna Congress in 1815, and the Swiss were expected to defend it. Austrian neutrality was rec- ognized internationally in the Four Pow- er Agreement of 1955, which resulted in the withdrawal of American, Russian, French and British troops. Austria was expected to defend it. There is an old saying in Europe that “in Germany the situation is serious but not hopeless while in Austria it is hopeless, but not serious.” Changing this around a bit, one can say that Swiss de- fense is serious business. Just what one could say about Austria, I wanted to find out. After getting my family more or less settled (two boys remained stateside at Yale and Dartmouth) which meant put- ting two daughters in the American In- ternational School in Vienna and _ find- ing an apartment for us to live in, I took up residence in the attic of the Austrian Society for Inte.:ational Rela- tions and Foreign Policy and began to dig in. Sharing both the attic and an in- terest in Armed Neutrality was a scholar from England and one from Italy; with the former I spoke often and with the latter seldom, my Italian being non-exis- tent, except, for a few memorable but hardly usable phrases picked up in Italy during the war. In early fall, I was asked by the Uni- versity of Vienna if I would accept a visiting professorship for the semester, be- Dr. Colvin has been a member of the Washington and Lee faculty since 1961. He holds the Ph.D. degree from the University of Heidelberg and is married to the former Countess Maria von Kiel- mansegg from Bad Ischl, Austria. 28 ginning in February and lasting to July. After clearing it with Washington and Lee, I accepted. My acceptance had to be processed by an executive committee of the faculty of the University of Vienna and then by the faculty itself. In the process, I almost wound up teaching under the ageis of the theology faculty, as there was budget money there but not in the philosophical faculty. After some juggling, money was found in the philo- sophical faculty and my name was sent to the Ministry of Education for formal approval. During the fall, the philosophi- cal faculty had had as a visiting profes- sor the head of the department of philo- sophy at the University of Moscow. I was obviously going to balance out the ticket. The original idea was that I would teach one course on U.S. Foreign Policy and one course on U.S. Defense Policy, but at the last minute I was asked if I would be willing to substitute a course on American Government for Defense Pol- icy. There is no question but what the Dr. and Mrs. Colvin and daughters, Maria-Gabriele and Katharine out for a stroll in the Austrian countryside. high interest in Watergate was the rea- son. I agreed to teach both courses in German, which turned out to be a chastising experience. It was true that I spoke German fairly fluently, but the give and take in classroom discussion and debate was, at least in the beginning, a bit more than I had bargained for. Both courses were colloquiums with about 20 students in each. Some students in both groups were ardent and argumentative Marxists. About half of my students were Austrians. The rest came from a variety of nations including Germany, Italy, Yugoslavia, the United States, Morocco, Colombia, and one Kurd from _ Iraq. They were a lively group, particularly when they found out that they were en- couraged to speak out which is rather rare in European universities. Just walking through the courtyard of the University one was constantly re- WeL minded that Vienna had been the capital of an empire of 60 million and not, as it is today, the capital of a small nation of 7 million. Busts of renowned scholars were everywhere, and in the classroom one could feel the muted presence of the past. I must say I enjoyed it. My Austrian colleagues were friendly but busy. We saw each other generally for a coffee before classes or a quick conversa- tion on the marble stairs. Toward the end of the semester, just before giving oral exams, I was at- tacked in the Communist student news- paper as “a reactionary fascist and an apologist for Wall Street.” I was de- lighted. All my life I have been a liberal Democrat and had often been called a “socialist” or worse. Now, at last, I was a reactionary. With great glee, I snatch- ed up copies of the paper to give to friends. My students were most upset by the attack and apologized, all, that is, except my Marxist students, but I told them I was not offended and reminded them that practically all the other pro- fessors were being attacked as _ reac- tionaries or fascists. It was par for the course. Later, during the oral examina- tions, I had the editor of the Communist paper as a student before me. He was very clever but, in my book, a pretty mix- ed up young man. Nevertheless, he did splendidly and I gave him the Austrian equivalent of an A. When I told him this, he looked at me in a rather sur- prised way and I said to him in English, which I knew he understood: “Anglo- Saxon fair play.” Perhaps it made an impression. In any case, he broke into a smile and said “thank you,” turned and walked out. Now back in Lexington, I am trying to put together my notes on Armed Neutrality for a book I am writing. My Austrian students are missed, but I like the ones I have here at home. It is good to get back and I can lecture in English. And that’s a plus too.

Under the By-Laws, any member of the Alumni Association may submit names of alumni to the Nominating Committee for nomination for the offices to be filled. Alumni may send names directly to any member of the committee or to the committee through the office of the Executive Secretary of the Alumni Association at the University. ‘The committee will close its report on March 15, 1975, and present its Nominations to the annual meeting of the Alumni Association on May 10, 1974. The annual meeting coincides with the Spring Reunion Weekend. Members of the 12-man Alumni Board of Directors are elected to four-year terms, with the terms of three members expiring each year. Re- tiring from the Board in May are Everett Tucker, Jr., ’34, of Little Rock; Richard D. Haynes, ’58, of Dallas; and Albert D. Darby, Jr., ’43, of Cumberland, Md. Alumni members of the Athletic Committee serve two-year terms, with one alumni member retiring each year. The mem- ber retiring in May is David L.

Banks stands in the garden of a Japanese home. 30 Dr. Minor Rogers, assistant professor of religion, were visiting Tokyo after spend- ing the Spring Term at Kansai Univer- sity of Foreign Studies near Kyoto. The students learned first-hand of the oppor- tunities and challenges of pursuing a business career in Asia, and the alumni were pleased, if somewhat surprised, to learn of an additional W&L presence in Japan and the development of interest in East Asian studies at the University. Joe Banks, manager of purchasing services for Union Carbide Eastern, Inc., has responsibility for all his firm’s opera- tions in Asia. This takes him on frequent trips as far as India. He has now re- turned to the New York offices of the firm. Bill Kyle, a resident of Japan for the past 12 years as the representative of Pickanis Mather Co. International, re- cently started his own consulting firm, Kyle International Associates, with head- quarters in Tokyo. Dave Wouters, corporate liaison man- ager for Coca-Cola (Japan) Co. Ltd., has lived in Tokyo for the past five years. Included among his responsibilities has been the selection and training of Japa- nese personnel as replacements for American managers. In June, Bill Kyle visited the W&L campus en route to the Greenbriar Hotel, W. Va., to address a management group on opportunities for American business in Asia today. Bill is the past president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Tokyo, a body with more than 1,000 members, and is_president- elect of the board of trustees of the American School in Tokyo. To the best of our knowledge, the W&L Swing has yet to be sung in Japa- nese, but with the inception of Japanese language courses this year at W&L (eight students are enrolled in elementary Japanese), this should present no prob- lem in the future. It is anticipated that Harrison Jf. Pemberton, head of the Department of Philosophy, will accompany the second group to Japan for the Spring ‘Term, 1975. Again, students will study various aspects of East Asian civilization while living with Japanese families in the Kyoto-Osaka area.

Hoffman, a 1931 graduate of the School of Law, has become director of the Federal Judicial Center in Wash- ington, D. C. He took the post at the invitation of U.S. Chief Justice War- ren E. Burger. Judge Hoffman has been on the federal bench for 20 years and has presided over many cases that have drawn national atten- tion. A colorful and highly respected jurist, Judge Hoffman was thrust into the national eye last year when he was appointed to oversee the grand jury investigation of former Vice President Spiro Agnew. Also for near- ly half of his time on the bench, he has handled the complexities of Nor- folk’s school desegregation case. He was appointed to the federal bench in June, 1954, by President Eisen- hower. In 1970, Washington and Lee conferred upon him the _ honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. The Judi- cial Center, which he now heads, was created by Congress in 1967 to further court research and education. Judge Hoffman heads a staff of 38 at the Center, which conducts seminars for federal judges, magistrates, bankruptcy judges, probation officers, and clerks. 33 194] RICHARD W.
