BROOKS, 1946 COVER: Leaders of the Future—O pening Convocation, 1956 A New Year Begins T WAS ONE OF Lexington’s per- fect days as the new year of- ficially began at Washington and Lee on September ig. The sun shone down from a brilliant sky on the white columns, on the fresh- ly clipped green lawns, the old brick walks, the hundreds of. stu- dents’ cars, and the bell chimed out the hours as the tourists’ dogs and children frolicked under the trees around Lee Chapel. Yes, they were familiar sights and sounds to the upperclassmen who were unsnarling 1956-57 schedules and swapping stories about vaca- tion activities. And they were won- derful new experiences for the 305 new students from 32 states and two foreign countries who were be- ginning an important four years at the university. To school officials, the freshmen looked better than ever. And well they should—they had been careful- ly selected from an application list of 854 young men, a ratio of close 2 to one man chosen from every three submitting formal application with fee. Hundreds of others had made inquiries and requested catalogues, but did not complete applications. Because of space limitations stu- dent enrollment remains pretty static, and this year came to 1,057, with 947 in the College of Arts and Sciences and School of Commerce and Administration, 106 in the School of Law, and four special stu- dnts. This is an increase of only seven over last year’s initial regis- tration of 1,050 students. With the number seeking to en- roll at Washington and Lee mount- ing steadily each year, the problem grows increasingly pressing for of- ficials to determine the ultimate size of the university in all aspects. Last year there were 736 complete applications for admission to the freshman class, a record up until then. In 1954 there were 698 and in 1953, 637. With Washington and Lee facilities able to handle only 208th Session 300 freshmen each year, the job -of choosing the successful apph- cants is ever more difficult. What, then, is the university's duty toward the tidal wave of students reaching college age in the next decade? President Francis P. Gaines and the Board of ‘Trustees recognize Washington and Lee’s obligation to absorb its share of college enroll- ment growth, but no expansion will be considered which might tend to destroy the school’s char- acteristic flavor of a small college, or upset the present traditional student-student and student-teacher relationships. In an attempt to find out, “How big can small be?”’, a special faculty committee, the university’s Office of Development, architects, ~-and other expert consultants are this year examining needs and problems which will arise if the enrollment is increased. The construction of a university dining hall and upperclassmen’s THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE dormitory has been approved by the trustees, but the green light on this project must await reports by the study group. But, to return to the present crop of freshmen—Dean of Students Frank J. Gilliam reports that 74 per cent of the class is from the South, and he includes the “bor- der’ states of Maryland, Missouri, West Virginia, Oklahoma, and the District of Columbia as “South.” The ratio of men with private school backgrounds is 52 per cent, and public schools, 48 per cent. Choate school of Wallingford, Con- necticut, has the largest representa- tion in the freshman class with 13 students. Next is Lamar High School of Houston, Texas with six. The state of Virginia again leads all states with 47 freshmen, fol- lowed by Maryland with 34. The twenty-fifth annual fresh- man camp attracted a record-break- ing attendance of 270 new students this year, and was held, like the six previous ones, at Natural Bridge. Campers lived dormitory- style in motor lodge facilities at the tourist attraction and ate meals in Natural Bridge’s Gate House cafe- teria. And although it is a rela- tively plush setting for a camp, uni- versity officials agree its lack of rustic appeal doesn’t impair the real purpose of the outing. For three days the freshmen had a packed schedule. ‘They swam in the pool, competed hard in touch football, softball, volleyball or horseshoes, visited the Natural Bridge, and learned much of the school, its customs and traditions, receiving first-hand advice and warnings of various pitfalls of the first college year. Their teachers were members of the faculty, the coaches, ROTC officers, student leaders, and representatives of var- ious. extra-curricular activities. A sad note was injected after the conclusion of the camp, when its director, Dean Gilliam, an- nounced this was his last. He FALL 1956 helped organize the first Freshman Camp back in 1928, and has worked diligently through the years to de- velop this integral part of the ort- entation program. From now on, Assistant Dean of Students James D. Farrar will serve as camp direc- tor. He will not be a stranger to the camp, because he has been its assistant director since 1952. Classes began on Wednesday morning, September 19, at 8:25 a.m., with regular noon opening day assembly in Doremus Gym- nasium. Dr. Gaines made a short address, pointing out that each student “belongs to the University,” as well as the University belonging to each student. Washington and Lee’s new Dean of the University, Doctor Leon F. Sensabaugh, was presented and spoke briefly. And at the end of the week, seventeen fraternities announced they had pleged 259 freshmen, or 85 per cent of the entire class. Lambda Chi Alpha pledged 28 to lead all other Greek-letter or- ganizations—the largest group in seven years. Others were: Kappa Sigma, 23; Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 22; Phi Gamma Delta, 20; Sigma Nu, 19; Beta Theta Pi, 19; Phi Delta Theta, 18; Sigma Chi, 16; Phi Kappa Psi, 14; Zeta Beta ‘Tau, 14; Delta Tau Delta, 12; Pi Kappa Alpha, 12; Phi Kappa Sigma, 11; Pi Kappa Phi, 10; Delta Upsilon, 10; Phi Epsilon Pi, six. Only eleven freshmen of the 305 failed to regis- ter for rush week this year. ‘The 1956 pledges will be the first to enjoy the absence of fraternity hazing at Washington and Lee. The university, through a joint ef- fort of faculty and the Interfra- ternity Council, has removed unde- sirable elements from the so-called “Hell Week,” and other first se: mester hazing activities. Emphasis for prospective initiates will be on constructive activities from now on. ‘Thus passed opening week of Washington and Lee’s 208th. ses- sion. ‘There were other events of note during the early months. Fac- ulty members received another modest salary increase, due in part to the more than $100,000 given to the Alumni Fund last year, and to a grant from the Ford Foundation. Scholarships to undergraduates were increased considerably. Opening Dances were held Oc- tober 26 and 27, with music by Dean Hudson’s and Skitch Hen- derson’s orchestras amidst a “Meet Me in Las Vegas” theme. ‘The sec- ond annual Parents’ Day was ob- served Saturday, November 3, with guided tours, open houses, teacher- parent conferences, a report on the Students at the annual Freshman Camp listening to a word of instruction, just before starting a lively game of touch football. Campers had a full athletic program, as well as valuable orientation lessons aimed at making their adjustment to college life easier. 3 university, a buffet luncheon, and concerts by the Glee Club and Band set up for 640 parents and guardians of students. Some spirited activity by politi- cal clubs preceded the November 6 national elections. Homecom- ing was celebrated on November g with Sewanee, the University of the South as the Generals’ grid- iron victim on Wilson Field, by a score of 22-7, first victory since the school fielded an amateur team. Washington and Lee’s Moot Court ‘Team competed November 16 in a regional tournament at Wake Forest against teams from North Carolina and South Caro- lina, West Virginia and Virginia. It was a good beginning for an- other busy university year. THE.ONIVERSETY NEW FACES ON THE faculty this vear include Dr. Leland W. Mc- Cloud, associate professor of com- merce; Dr. Thomas P. Hughes, as- sistant professor of history; James R. Connor, assistant professor of history; Sidney M. B. Coulling, in- structor in English; James A. Rik- ard, visiting professor of philoso- phy; Richard L. Gelwick. director of religious work; and J. J. Murray, Jr.. instructor in biology. Dr. McCloud comes from ‘Texas Christian University, and Dr. Hughes from Sweet Briar College. Mr. Connor will be a one-year replacement for Dr. Olinger Cren- shaw, who is teaching at the Naval War College, Newport, Rhode Island. Top left, traditional Rush crowd dashes into Freshman dormitory, as five days of fraternity rushing started; second, “Come around and meet the boys at our house— you'll like ’em”; third, the glad hand and ready smile for rushees; bottom, Edward Bell, Jr., General Motors Company scholar- ship winner from Washington, Pennsyl- vania, won the blanket for learning the most names of fellow first year men in a contest held at Freshman Camp. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Mr. Coulling, an alumnus, has been teaching at University of Maryland, and pursuing his Ph.D. degree at University of North Caro- lina. Mr. Rikard, professor of phil- osophy at Roanoke College, will teach during the one-year absence of Dr. E. D. Myers in Europe. Mr. Gelwick is a graduate of Southern Methodist University and received his Bachelor of Divinity degree at Yale last June. m THE UNIVERSITY Religious Con- ference, during the week of De- cember 3-8, had as its theme, ““The Bible and the Modern Mind.” Speakers were Dr. M. F. Hall, Dr. Emerson Shuck, Dr. Raymond Seeger, and Dr. Lester McAllister. Besides addressing assemblies, and holding panel discussions, the visi- tors spoke to individual classes dur- ing the week. m DR. MARVIN BANKS PERRY, JR, has been named co-chairman of the English department, succeeding Dr. James S. Moffatt, Jr., who re- tired last June. Dr. Fitzgerald Flournoy, who was appointed co- chairman in 1938 with Dr. Moffatt, will continue in this position, but Dr. Perry will assume Dr. Mof- fatt’s duties as executive head of the department. Doctor Perry came to Washing- ton and Lee in 1951 as an assistant professor, after four years as an in- structor in English at the Univer- sity of Virginia. He was promoted to associate professor in 1953. _A native of Powhatan, Virginia, he is a 1940 graduate of the Uni- versity of Virginia. He received his M.A. degree at Harvard in 1941 and his Ph.D. degree there in 1950. His major fields of study have been in 17th and 1gth century literature, and the English poet Keats. During the summer he collaborated on the preparation of a two-volume text, designed to provide “An Ap- proach to Literature” for college freshmen. FALL 1956 He is married to the former EI- len Coalter Gilliam of Lynchburg, Virginia, and they have two daugh- ters, 5 and 3. Doctor Perry served as a naval officer in both the At- lantic and Pacific during World War II, and is active in the Naval Reserve as a lieutenant commander. m# A RHODES SCHOLAR will teach bi- ology at Washington and Lee this year. He is J. J. Murray, Jr., son of Lexington Presbyterian church’s longtime minister. A Phi Beta Kap- For PERRY, a promotion pa graduate of Davidson College, Jim studied for three years at Ox- ford University in England on a Rhodes Scholarship. He was a member of the 1954 Oxford West Nepal expedition, and scaled a 22,000-foot Himalayan peak to col- lect biological specimens. He has been stationed at Fort Dugway, Utah, and received his army dis- charge this fall. m THOMAS E. ENNIS, accounting in- structor, attended a_ three-week study course of Wall Street at the invitation of the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Ex- change, and four securities groups, beginning August 21. “Thirty-two professors from other colleges were included in the program, which gave the teachers first-hand infor- mation about the workings of the New York financial picture. m SOME SIGNIFICANT gifts were made to Washington and Lee during the past few months, part from indus- try, part from bequests by alumni, or their relatives. An honorary alumnus left a be- quest of $30,000. The sister of an alumnus gave $20,000 to be used as endowment for two $1,000 scholar- ships. A professional man left $5,000 to the department at Wash- ington and Lee which trains young men in his profession. The sum of $10,000 came from the will of an alumnus. The father of a former student, killed in World War II, added $2,500 to the schol- arship endowment in memory of his son. “This continued interest in the cause of youth and youth’s educa- tion is heart-warming,” said Presi- dent Francis P. Gaines. “It places upon the university an ever greater responsibility to measure up to our trust, as we endeavor to give the best possible education to the young men we serve.” m DR. LIVINGSTON WADDELL SMITH, 80, head of the mathematics de- partment from 1906 until 1947 when he retired, died August 9, 1956. He is buried in Stonewall Jackson cemetery in Lexington. He received his A.B. degree from Washington and Lee in 1896, the M.A. degree in 1898 and the Ph.D. degree in 1902. He taught at three schools before returning to Wash- ington and Lee in 1906 as profes- sor of mathematics. He became one of the University’s most beloved professors during his 41 terms. Many former students like to talk about Dr. Smith’s habit of tossing chalk to emphasize classroom dog- 5 ma. On one memorable occasion, when he threw the chalk and hit the chalk box squarely, he ex- claimed, “I have been trying’ to do that for go years!”’ and dismissed the class, so all could celebrate the occasion. One alumnus has said of him, “‘He was a wonderful teacher, a wonderful person, and one of the fairest teachers I ever saw.” Dr. Smith was the son of Col. Francis H. Smith, Jr., for many years professor at VMI. He was a grandson of Gen. Francis H. Smith, first superintendent of VMI, and great grancson of Major ‘Thomas Henderson, founder of the U. S. Naval Academy and of the Protest- ant Episcopal ‘Theological Semi- nary at Alexandria, Virginia. One daughter and two sisters sur- vive him. His wife, the former Miss Fanny Gay Catlett of Staunton, died earlier this year. After his retirement from teach- ing in 1947, Dr. Smith was Cin- cinnati Society Professor of Math- ematics, Emeritus. ROTC # THE WASHINGTON AND LEE Uni- versity ROTC cadet corps has been reorganized on a regimental basis, and ‘Theodore M. Kerr, Midland, ‘Texas, former commander of the Gaines Guard precision drill team, has been named to head the corps of 422 cadets. Since the ROTC program was begun here in 1951, organization for student training has been on a battalion basis. Under the new setup, there are two battalions of two companies each, plus a band company, and the drill team. Regular Army officers who direct the ROTC program believe the new organization will provide a better basis for training of future reserve officers. By enlarging the chain of command, a greater num- ber of advanced military students 6 SMITH A professor gone will be able to assume leadership and responsibility on a higher level. In the corps are 62 seniors, 79 juniors, 100 sophomores, and 181 freshmen. Enrollment is down slightly; there were 424 cadets last year, and 530 two years ago, and a peak of 600 during the Korean War years of 1952 and 1953. Cadet lieutenant colonels this year are John R. Alford, Glasgow, KERR New responsibilities Virginia, regimental executive of- ficer; James H. Davis, Houston, ‘Texas, ist Battalion commander; and. Robert I. Peeples, Houston, 2nd Battalion commander. THE ROTC UNIT has one new offcer this year, Capt. Karl F. Stein, who replaces Capt. ‘Thomas Dinsmore. Captain Stein is a graduate of the University of Colorado, has been in the army about ten years, is mar- ried, and has three children. He comes to Washington and Lee from Fort Devens, Massachusetts. SCHOLARSHIPS @ WASHINGTON AND LEE men, in increasing numbers, do not stop studying after graduation. Such is the evidence gathered by Dr. Leon F. Sensabaugh, dean of the Uni- versity, who has made a statistical study of the graduating classes of 1955 and 1956. ‘I'wenty-seven per cent of them are taking advanced professional work, many on schol- arships and fellowships. This percentage is especially sig- nificant in view of the numbers of men who go voluntarily or are drafted into military service. Many of these alumni serve their time with the service and then embark on graduate work. Another factor which: heightens the importance of the 27 per cent pursuing graduate study is the large number of Wash- ington and Lee men who enter a family business upon graduation. Approximately 20 students from these two classes entered medical or dental schools, many engaged in law studies here or at other universi- ties, and about go continued their graduate work in fields of history, geology, physics, commerce, eco- nomics, and political science. Seven - entered theological schools. A typical ratio might be seen in geology graduates. In 1955, eight students were graduated from the department.

Gaines, president, says. Last year, about twelve per cent of the student body received scholarship benefits. Presently, there are 41 freshmen receiving $27,360 in scholarship awards, more than double the FALL 1956 year,. three alumni are abroad studying amount previously available for first-year students. ‘This was made possible by scholarships created from recent large benefactions. Last year, freshmen received about $13,000 from endowed schol- arships. Fourteen new _ awards, eight known as the Robert E. Lee scholarships and six as the Letitia Pate Evans scholarships, have in- creased this total by $14,800.

One hundred and six men enrolled in the school, of which 49 were freshmen, an in- crease over last year. The new law students were given a luncheon by the upperclassmen, and Dean of the Faculty Leon F. Sensabaugh and Student Body president Rob Peeples welcomed the group to the campus. Dr. Marshall Fishwick made the main address. Kingswood Sprott, Jr., of Lake Wales, Florida, was announced as the winner of the Martin P. Burks award. _ Sprott, Patrick D.

On the trial level, the Law School held a Mock Trial. November 14 to decide the fate of a young farmer, 8 William Agrarian, charged with murdering a family enemy, Frank Badblood. Much conflicting testi- mony was presented by witnesses, who perplexed the jury drawn from representative fraternity house- mothers, students’ wives, and Uni- versity undergraduates. Prosecutors included Douglas Kyle Frith, Bas- sett, Virginia; Carl D. Swanson, Kansas City, Kansas; and Walter G. Burton, Princeton, West Vir- ginia. Defense attorneys were Rob- ert Stroud, Charlotte, North Car- olina; Hardin Marion, Richmond, Virginia; and Norman C. Roettger, Jv., Green Camp, Ohio. Presiding on the bench was Charles V.

A SQUAD OF TWENTY-FIVE players makes up this year’s edition of the Generals’ basketball team, which Opened its season December first against the University of Kentucky at Lexington, Kentucky. Coach Billy McCann _ has five lettermen, including senior co-cap- tain Lee Marshall and junior Dom Flora, two of the greatest scorers in Washington and Lee _ basketball history. Although injury-ridden most of last season, Marshall, a six foot five center, managed 346 points in 20 games for a 17.3 average. With the 621 points he scored as a sophomore, he is just 33 points short of the 1,o00-mark. Flora, a guard from Jersey City, has put to- gether two terrific seasons of 553 and 607 points, and his 1,160 total ranks third in the record books.

Coach Bill Chipley’s boys have been suffering from lack of experience, the big bugaboo of a year ago, but since the third game there has been steady improvement as the lessons of past defeats begin to take effect. The 1956 record stands at one win and seven losses, an improve- ment on last year’s showing. ‘The offense has been sharper, the defense more dependable, and the squad spirit higher than at any time previously under the play-for- fun program. ‘The season got underway with a near-miss effort against Centre Col- lege, with the Generals losing, 14-6, [urn to page 32 9 Lacrosse ‘Team Conquers England Above, watching the U.S. shoreline fade, at the start of the trip; players in Kings’ College chapel, Cambridge; Cart BAiLey, host PETER JACKSON, Tom Moore, and Coach Cor- RIGAN tour Cambridge; meeting the Mayor of Manchester, described as a “terrific guy.” Opposite page, Generals exercise on ship, punt on Cambridge River, have lacrosse sticks inspected by referee before Lancashire game, compete on London field, enjoy banquet given in their honor and sign autographs for eager young fans. 10 THE TRADITIONAL ENGLISH re- reserve was throughly shattered by the friendliness and good spirits of the 19-man Washington and Lee lacrosse squad which made a month- long visit to the British Isles dur- ing the summer. Everywhere the Generals went during their ten-game_ exhibition tour, they won friends for them- selves, the university and America. “The boys really sold themselves,” says coach Gene Corrigan. “The English people would do anything for them, and they liked our team better than any other American team which had been there.” ‘The English crowded around af- ter games to meet the Generals, to ask them to tea, to dinner, for auto- graphs, for visits to their homes, or just to talk. “They are hospi- table, wonderful people,” Coach Corrigan declares, ‘and the _ best thing about our entire trip was the attitude of the people and the way they treated us.” About a year of planning pre- ceded the trip. The Washington and Lee lacrosse team was the fourth college group since 1948 to be invited by the English Lacrosse Union to engage British teams in an exhibition schedule. English of- ficials arranged the games, housing, and entertainment while the Wash- ington and Lee men collected funds for the tour from friends, business- men, and sold advertisement-laden THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE programs at all home games last year. Cost per man came to around 5440, most of which was spent for steamship passage. Each mem- ber put in $300 of his own money. Finally on June 25, the squad sailed on the S. S. Zuiderkruis, a student ship, with trainer, D. A. Davis, and student photographer James Kressler accompanying them. Coach Corrigan flew across and was on hand to meet them. During the nine-day boat trip, the team worked out on deck twice each day, a sight which quickly drew spectators. Play began in Manchester, and the Americans accustomed them- Above, lacrosse players touring Lyme Hall, an ancient mansion in Manchester; waiting for their train in Victoria Station, London; one of the small English fans who stuck by the team; and toasting an English rendition of the Washington and Lee Swing. 12 selves to the English rules of la- crosse, such as no substitutions, no body contact, larger playing fields with natural boundaries, and twenty-minute quarters. Another English custom, that of having no coach as such, but a playing “skip- per,” was harder to get used to, and Coach Corrigan suffered a little good-natured razzing from the crowds for his coaching antics from the sidelines. One old gentleman even rapped him sharply on the shoulder during a crucial period and said, “I say there, you. sit down!” ‘The Generals found English en- thusiasm for lacrosse remarkable. Most British players are in their twenties and thirties, but ranged upward to 53, and they think noth- ing of riding a bike 10 or 15 miles to play a game after work. Specta- tors were well-mannered, applaud- ing after each score, but doing lit- tle yelling except an occasional “Harass them, men!” The Americans were feted before and after all ten games, with tea parties and hot pot suppers or ban- quets. They met the Lord Mayors of Manchester and Stockton, made trips to Scotland, Stratford-on- Avon, Oxford, Cambridge, and London, where they visited Wind- sor Castle, the “Tower of London, Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and Hyde Park. But more than the sights they saw, and more than the nine out of ten games they won, more than anything else—the Gen- erals revelled in meeting and know- ing so many English people, and found them always congenial, cap- tivating, and possessing unexpected warmth. One business executive, Jack Nuttal, became their guardian angel, cheering for them at all games, and even providing a hand- some birthday cake when twins Tom and Dick Moore celebrated their twenty-first birthday on tour. After the conclusion of the sched- ule, the squad members split up to make individual eight-day trips to the European continent. They met again at LeHavre on August 5 for the return journey, and they count the whole trip as an unforgettable experience. . “TI hope all of the teams that come to England in the future will be like the boys on this team,” said an official of the English La- crosse Union. “They have shown all the things we like to see in a young man—spirit, sportsmanship, and most important, they are gen- tlemen.” ‘The Manchester Guardian wrote, ‘They have charmed us all by their sincerity, their modesty, and great sportsmanship. . .” THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Another R. E. Lee Becomes College President OBERT E. LEE, known on the Washington and Lee campus from 1938 until 1941 as “Buzz,” be- came the sixth president of Geor- gia State College for Women in Mil- ledgeville, Georgia, on July 18, 1956. The college, part of the Uni- versity System of Georgia, is a fullv accredited four-year liberal arts col- lege enrolling 600 women. The youthful new college presi- dent has been active in a number of phases of education for the past ten years. In his academic field of mathematics and statistics, he has taught at North Carolina State Col- lege, University of Florida, and Berry College. He was also in charge of Research and _ Statistics with the State Department of Edu- cation in Florida, where he worked with State Superintendent ‘Thomas D. Bailey from 1950-54. During this period he helped revise the Index of Taxpaying Ability formu- la which determines the county al- lotment of school funds in the Minimum Foundation Program of Florida, and was responsible for the adoption in 1953 of the revised formula by the Florida Legislature. FALL 1956 After this four years of exper- ience at the Florida capitol, Dr. Lee moved to north Georgia where he stepped into college administra- tion. As Dean of Instruction at Ber- ry College in Rome he was active in bolstering academic standards and adding strength to the total instructional program. “Buzz” was welcomed to Mil- ledgeville by Frank Evans, ’26, and Jere N. Moore, Jr., ’54. This gives Milledgeville enough Washington and Lee men to start an alumni club and elect officers! The GSCW girls are reacting favorably to the warm, friendly, and enthusiastic approach of their new president, whose trademark is a bright bow tie. ‘The faculty mem- bers respect his wisdom and the ease in which he handles administrative and academic decisions. | Although Dr. Lee is not a ‘joiner,’ he has always been a full participant in civic affairs. He has served as a Presbyterian elder, a Kiwanian, a state Y director, a Jaycee, and a founding member of the International Christian Leader- ship in both Tallahassee and Rome. ... Student to Prexy in 15 years... He is the only college president who lives in an Executive Mansion. ‘The old Governors’ Mansion which housed Georgia’s Governors from 1838 to 1865 has been the tradi- tional home of GSCW presidents since the college opened its doors in 1891. The home is enlivened by Mrs. Lee (Mary Dean Lott), Mary Dean, 11; Bill, 9; and Robert, 6. “Buzz” made the jump from stu- dent to college president in just fifteen years. At Washington and Lee, he played on the tennis team and was a member of Beta Theta Pi Fraternity, and sang in the Glee Club for four years, serving as business manager his junior year. Also during his junior year, he was elected president of the statewide YMCA organization, and served as dormitory councilor, and a member of the Christian Council. He was graduated with a B.A. degree and went on a fellowship to Van- derbilt, where he received his M.A. in 1942. From 1942-1946, he served in the United States Navy, and by 1950 he had completed work on his doctorate and won that degree from the University of Florida. 13 The new Shenandoah Life building and retiring president Buford, whose efforts sparked the company’s remarkable growth. A Career of Service ORTY YEARS AGO, when the Shen- fk andoah Life Insurance Com- pany opened for business in Roa- noke, Virginia, it had one paid em- ployee and a two-room office. Paid- in capital was $121,920, and the contributed surplus was $73,638. At the end of the year, the com- pany’s statement showed $1,504,994 of ordinary insurance in force. ‘Twelve years later, total insur- ance had risen to $72 million. In 1938, it was almost $180 million, and now, in 1956, insurance in force is $490,491,719, and the com- pany owns a $1,688,942 home office in a 35-acre park; a standard and FM radio station and a television station in a new downtown build- ing; and 24 branch offices in many states and the District of Columbia. 14 Much of the credit for this suc- cess story goes to Shenandoah’s pres- ident since 1939, Paul C. Buford, "13, although he modestly attribues Shenandoah’s growth to the young and enthusiastic officials and’ em- ployees around him. Mr. Buford first came to live in Virginia as a Washington and Lee student in 1912. He is a native of College Hill, Mississippi, but spent his boyhood at White Haven, in western Tennessee, where his family moved when he was seven. He re- received his bachelor of arts degree in 1913 and Law degree in 1915, both from Washington and Lee, and then went to Roanoke to begin practice of law. | Except for World War I service, when he went to France as a first lieutenant of field artillery, he maintained his law office in Roa- noke until he became president of the insurance company. He is a former head of the Roanoke Bar Association and the Roanoke Chamber of Commerce; he is a trustee of the Roanoke Hospital Association and of Hollins College; and a member of the American Legion, the Military Order of the World War, the Shenandoah Club, Kiwanis, and Roanoke Country Club. He has resigned as president of the insurance company effective December 1, but will continue as chairman of the board. He married Anne Warren in 1924, and they have four children. He has been a wonderful friend to Washington and Lee, and was THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE a member of the Alumni Board of ‘Trustees from 1951-56, serving as president. He was chairman of the Alumni Fund Council from 1954 until the first of September 1956, and did an outstanding job for the university with this new group. Shenandoah’s new home is_ of modified Georgian architecture, 300 feet long, a three-story center section with a pair of two-story wings, and a 42-foot cupola. It is located in a southwest residential secuion, heavily wooded, isolated, yet only two and one-half miles from the center of the bustling city. From the winding highway below, travellers gaze upward through the stately boxwoods and beautifully landscaped grounds to what looks very much like a mod- ern school building. Inside, rooms are large, ceilings high, to allow freedom of space. In November, 1955, the company completed a project begun twenty- one years before—it converted from a stock company to a mutual life insurance corporation wholly owned by its policyholders. ‘The company is fourth largest in assets among life insurance firms domi- ciled in Virginia and has third largest amount of insurance in force. At the beginning of this year, it had assets of $43,727,432, of which over $26 million were in mortgage loans and over $10 mil- lion in government and_ other bonds. Surplus had reached $3,- 550,361, an increase of almost 10 per cent in one year. Library Adds Two New Assistants m TWO NEW ASSISTANT librarians have joined the staff of McCor- mick Library—James C. Hearon of Middleboro, Kentucky, and Harold R. Jenkins of Pottstown, Pennsylvania. Both received their library science masters’ degrees last June. FALL 1956 It isn’t VALENTINE’S famous statue, but a copy small enough to hold in one hand. Another Recumbent Statue in Lexington HINKING OF LEE CHAPEL automatically brings to mind a picture of the most impressive part of its interesting interior—the recumbent statue of General Robert E. Lee. That magnificent piece of sculpture by Valentine has remained a cherished memory to many a former student, and many a casual tourist. It also fascinated the Washington and Lee photographer, ‘Thorn Borth- wick of Lexington, from the moment he saw it. He has photographed it from every angle, many times, but the photographs were not enough. About two years ago, he determined to try his hand at carving a miniature of the statue. With an ordinary pocket knife and a few tools he made for himself, he has created a plaster of paris copy that looks for all the world like the real thing. His statue measures only three inches across and seven inches long, and is mounted on a wooden base. He used two blocks of plaster for the miniature, and made it as near to scale as possible. He has done the intricate folds of the blanket, the tiny seals on either side, even General Lee’s beard with amazing meticu- lousness. And all this with never a lesson in art or sculpting! Although the miniature took about two years in the making, Thorn used it just as a part-time hobby to relax after long hours of darkroom work. He carved the copy at home on nights whenever he could spare as much as a half hour or more. When at last he decided the miniature was finished, he soaked it in alum water to harden it, and sprayed lacquer on it to form a protective coating. Now he has it on display at his office on Nelson Street. Friends have been urging him to investigate the possibilities of hav- ing copies cast from the tiny recumbent statue, to sell as souvenirs, and believe that such an idea would have good market value. ‘Thorn says he’ll think about it later—right now he’s too busy taking pictures for the 1957 Calyx. 15 A MESSAGE FROM To the Alumni of Washington and Lee University: I have recently embarked on a fascinating experiment in my academic life. After serving for twenty years in another liberal arts college as teacher and part-time administrator, I have assumed the deanship of the university at Washington and Lee.-Although familiar with the general principles and problems of administration, I have really ventured into a new academic life. And I might add quickly that I have in no way been disappointed. My good impressions of Washington and Lee from afar have been borne out by actual contacts. As an educator all of my adult life, I have long been aware of the unique position which this institution has in the educational life of the South. Its rich traditions and heritage are unusual; few schools can compare with it. It also has a national prestige; educators, and even the “‘average’”’ man everywhere, know of Washington and Lee. Its reputation for scholarship is attested to by the fact that its faculty has been active in scholarly production and by an increase in applications for en- trance to the University, although the high school graduates know that it is becoming more and more difficult to obtain a place in the freshman class. ‘The success of its alumni has also enhanced the reputation of the university. I have found an alert and friendly faculty. It is a faculty that works hard at the task of turning out an intelligent product. Productive scholar- ship is the goal of many of the faculty, but the first order of business is the education of the youth entrusted to its care. The men give freely of their time in order to accomplish this end. I would be presumptuous if I offered, at this early date, a new pro- gram for Washington and Lee, for the University already has a good pro- eram. Further implementation of this program may be necessary, and I shall give encouragement to the carrying out of the plans which the faculty has already approved. I certainly want to do everything I can to main- tain the high standards for which the University is noted. I want to keep intact the excellent faculty which is assembled here. I want to observe the operation of the University, and if in the future I can make suggestions that will be of benefit, I will work with the faculty and administration in doing everything possible not only to maintain the standard which the University has but to do my bit in making the University even better known and better respected. I feel that the alumni will respond to this aim and will do their part in bringing greater prestige to their Alma Mater. LEON F. SENSABAUGH THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE 17.

Second honors went to Richard Brunn, ’42, with a 74 and third to Clark Win- ter, 37, president of the New York chapter, with a 75. So successful was the outing that chapter officials have scheduled a second affair this fall on a Long Island course. The golf outing was part of a stepped-up New York program which contemplates more frequent get-togethers and a series of special activities for limited interest groups, including tennis players, golfers, card sharks and others. Chapter-wide activities _ tenta- tively scheduled for the coming year include monthly luncheons, an an- nual meeting, dinner-dance, family picnic and at least two smokers. Appointment of two committees to help steer the chapter’s activities were recently announced by Presi- dent Winter.

FALL 1956 FOOTBALL (Continued from page 9) and making costly first-game_ er- rors which set up the Colonels touchdowns. ‘The 48-6 loss to David- son had to be taken on the chin, for the Wildcats are enjoying their finest season in history. Southwest- ern’s easy 42-0 triumph over W&L was unexpected, but the team’s poor effort seemed to mark the turning point of the season. The Generals came close again against West Virginia Tech, losing 21-20 after having been ahead three times in the ball game. The team gained confidence from their per- formance, and the next wek’s 34-0 loss to Wabash was much closer than the score would indicate. Chipley points to three “ridiculous” errors which put his team in a hole by spotting the Little Giants a three-touchdown first-half lead. In the Sewanee contest, the worm finally turned. Both teams had timely breaks to set up a 7-7 stand- off after one quarter and one play’s work, but the Generals weren’t to lose this one. ‘They continued to take advantage of every ‘Tiger mis- cue, cut their own mistakes to the lowest ebb in two years and emerged with a much needed 29-7 victory. Late-season losses were to Hampden-Sydney and Washing- ton University. Offensively, the Generals have been relying primarily on the pass- ing, punting and signal-calling of sophomore Jack Daughtrey, a 6-3, 185-pounder from Chester, Virigina, and the running of Co-Captain full- back Alex Platt, a 6-3, 195-pound senior from Riverside, Connecticut. On defense, the entire team has shown great improvement, spear- headed by Co-Captain Ike Smith, a 225-pound senior tackle from Charleston, West Virginia.
