The Generals Win Them All —and Many Friends N A MARCH AFTERNOON back in 1957, Lee Mc- Laughlin stood in what was then Washington Chapel and met, for the first time, the “football team’ that he was to head up as the Generals’ new football coach. Among the two dozen or so students present there were, in fact, some boys who would play football for Coach McLaughlin. But there were just as many who were there only out of curiosity: they wanted to see what manner of man was interested in taking over a team that had not succeeded under a program many said could never succeed. All of them heard from the new coach some words that must have had a strange, unrealistic ring to them. Said McLaughlin, “We’re going to think in terms of winning them all.” And said McLaughlin, “I believe in letting everyone play. If you come out for football for me, you'll play for me.” At that time, Washington and Lee had won only one game in fifteen contests, and if any solution was to be suggested, it might very well involve finding FALL 1961 Experience, Depth, Superior Coaching Culminate in a Season ‘That Attracts National Acclaim the eleven best players in the school, making sixty- minute men out of them, and hoping for the best. ‘Today, five football seasons later, those remarks by Lee McLaughlin constitute accurate descriptions of Washington and Lee’s football program, rather than the wishful thinking of a successful prep school coach making his first plunge into the perilous col- legiate coaching profession. Not only do the Generals now think in terms of winning them all, but they have indeed won them all for 1961—the first all-winning season since the glorious time of Cy Young and the 1914 undefeated team. Not only does McLaughlin promise Saturday afternoon action for all his players, but he gives it to them, and this, as much as anything, has brought victory to the Generals time after time through 1960 and 1961. Because he let many freshmen and sophomores play back in the lean years that followed in 1957 and 1958, he was able to develop over the seasons a strong, deep squad of many boys of nearly equal football 3 ability. As these youngsters grew to football maturity under the expert coaching of McLaughlin and _ his staff, there developed in them a team spirit and loyalty that has amazed even their coach. And with the surge of team spirit and pride there came the inevitable victories, starting in 1959 when the record was a prophetic three wins, four losses, and one tie. One of those three wins came in the last game of the season at Washington University in _ St. Louis. As it was to do so many times in the future, the Generals’ three-team depth had brought them from behind to win, 35-26, in a last-quarter surge. Perhaps the boys themselves sensed it, but few knew then that that game was the begin- ning of an unbeaten string of con- tests that is still intact, nineteen games later. In 1960, the Generals were 8-0-1, with only an 8-8 tie at mid-season against Johns Hopkins marring the record. This year there was no tie game to spoil the final-season mem- ories of 18 seniors, most of whom had suffered with McLaughlin through the 1-7 record in 1958. It was a tremendous season, in so many ways. Now that the perfect year is a fact, McLaughlin admits that he felt it coming back in early Sep- tember. “It had to come this year if it were to come at all,’ he declares. “This was a peak year for us. I doubt if we'll ever again have such a combination of experience, depth, and bright young sopho- mores. As it turned out, it was a perfect combination.” It was indeed. The seniors pro- vided the seasoned stability and leadership, while the — talented juniors and sophomores in_ their eagerness kept sufhcient pressure on the veterans to assure that no letdown or “‘senioritis’” would threaten the team’s chances for the banner year it deserved. 4 There were outstanding indi- vidual stars—like Little All-Amer- ican center Terry Fohs and All-Vir- ginia Small College quarterback Steve Suttle—but by and large the victories came because McLaugh- lin commanded a varsity squad of 50 boys—all eager to play. The standard strategy was to alternate three complete units on a nearly equal basis of playing time, wearing down the opposition, taking advan- tage of mistakes and breaks, play- ing rugged defense. The tactics would vary from game to game, like in the opening encounter with Hampden-Sydney when the Gold, or third unit, proved to be the stingiest on defense and played most of the second half. Or the Franklin & Marshall game when the Red, or second team, proved an explosive scoring threat, or the Emory & Henry and Washington games when the Blue, or first unit, was called on for service above and beyond the usual expectations. But behind it all was the team’s pride, its mutual self-respect among its members, and its confidence in itself that it could face week after week fired-up teams that would boast of a successful season if only the Generals could be upset. Hampden-Sydney provided the closest game from a scorimg stand- point, although other games would CoAacH MCLAUGHLIN doesn’t look it, but believe it or not, W&L is winning. present greater challenges and evoke better performances. Against the Tigers, the Generals had to come from behind with a_ cliff- hanging third quarter drive that netted their only touchdown and a narrow 7-6 victory. After an open date, the wars resumed and Frank- lin & Marshall, Randolph-Macon, and Johns Hopkins fell in domino order, 40-0, 43-0, and 38-6, setting the stage for a showdown battle with Emory and Henry for the state’s small college title. The Wilson Field clash with the Wasps proved to be the best foot- ball game played there since the Generals beat Virginia in the final home game of the 1953 season. The opportunist Washington and Lee squad turned a Wasp fumble into one touchdown, a blocked punt in- to another, and led, 14-6, at half- time. In the second half, the Gen- erals’ depth again paid off, Emory and Henry wearied in the stretch, and the Red and Blue teams marched for a touchdown apiece and a final score of 27-6. The Generals took a_ physical pounding in the Emory game, so the rest the first two units got in the following game with Centre was welcome. The score was 53-0. The next week, unbeaten but once-tied Sewanee admittedly sought revenge for the previous THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Tense Moments A dressing room before the game is a tense place.

Assistant Coach Boyd Williams gives last-minute advice to Quarterback Steve Suttle, while Halfback Jim Russ gets a final check of an injured elbow by Trainer Nor- ris Eastman.

FALL 1961 5 year’s 32-8 lacing, and the Tigers fought like their namesakes for four quarters before bowing, 26-8. It was only 3-0 at halftime in a contest of determined, poised op- ponents, representing the very best in small college football. After a ragged, penalty-marred 30-0 win over Frederick College, Virginia’s newest four-year college with football ambitions, the Gen- erals headed west for St. Louis and their quest for victory No. 9 that would bring the perfect season. They nearly didn’t make it in time for the 10 a.m. Thanksgiving Day kickoff. Bad weather in St. Louis forced the chartered DC-3’s to set down in Evansville, Ind., and from there—g p.m. Wednesday until 3 a.m. ‘Thursday—the team bounced and lurched on a local Greyhound across Indiana and Illinois, some players and all the coaches standing most of the way. It was a tired and groggy squad that forced itself awake four hours later to prepare for the early-morning game. There were still cobwebs in their heads in the second quarter when Washington, a team winless in eight games against a tough schedule, led the Generals, 13-0. Although Halfback Charley Gum- mey’s 50-yard touchdown run kept the Generals close, they fell behind again at 20-6 with less than a min- ute and a half remaining before intermission. Then came the play that lifted the team by its shoelaces and broke the Bears’ spirited surge. On first down from the Generals’ 20, Red unit quarterback Chuck Lane called ‘‘the Boomer,” a pass designed to put six points on the scoreboard. Halfback Stuart Yoffe ran his decoy pattern to perfection, drawing in all four Bear secondary defenders while senior halfback Jim Hickey shot into the clear along the right sideline. Lane’s pass was on target, and Hickey, who holds the school record of g.7 in the 100, cleared the goal fully 25 yards 6 The Unbeaten String of 19 1959 W&L 35—Washington 1960 W&L 21—Centre W&L 23—Dickinson W&L 38—F & M W&L 26—Randolph-Macon W&L 8—Johns Hopkins 26 CO 3 8 W&L 14—Hampden-Sydney 7 W&kL 6—Carnegie Tech W&L 32—Sewanee W&L 28—Washington 1961 WkL W&L 4o—-F & M W&L 43—Randolph-Macon W&L 38—Johns Hopkins W&L 27—Emory & Henry W&L 53—Centre W&L 26—Sewanee W&L 30—Frederick W&L 33—Washington O 8 O 7—Hampden-Sydney 6 O Se Oe SB ahead of his pursuers. The Gen- erals were down only 20-12 at the half, and although the Bears hol- lered and yelled when they came back on the field, it was to be W&L from then on. With Suttle’s sure hand directing the offense, the Generals took the second-half kickoff and drove for the tying touchdown and conver- sion points. They had promising drives slowed twice more in the second half before Gummey again took charge personally midway in the final quarter with a 49-yard scoring burst off right tackle. The conversion try failed, and follow- ing a good break on the kickoff, the Bears had one effort left. ‘They drove to the W&L 27, but the Generals stiffened and threw the Bears back to the 34 where the ball changed hands with only 54 seconds remaining to play. Suttle elected to run out the clock on quarterback sneaks, but on his first try he nearly ran out of the ball park. Suddenly in the clear, he raced to the 18, from where the Generals struck in three quick plays for the final touchdown of a glorious season. Senior halfback Jim Russ, who scored the first points of the year against Hamp- den-Sydney, added the 297th on a perfect placement and the Generals had, indeed, won them all. Because of its successes in the 1961 campaign, but more because of the rags to riches story of Coach McLaughlin’s patient labors, the team attracted the attention of Sports Illustrated magazine, per- haps the most highly-regarded sports publication in the country. Walter Bingham, one of the maga- zine’s most gifted reporters and writers, came to Lexington on the story. What he saw prompted him to write an article which Sports Illustrated used as its six-page lead story the following week. The ar- ticle is re-printed in this issue of the Alumni Magazine for the bene- fit of those who may have missed THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE CHARLIE GUMMEY gains against R-MC. it in its original form. What impressed Walter Bingham about the Generals was not so much their ability to play football, but their general attitude and de- meanor, both on the field and off. He spent many hours chatting with members of the team and other stu- dents, and what he observed and what he heard prompted him to entitle his story, “A Sport for Gentlemen.” ‘The appearance of the article in mid-season made the Generals all the more prime targets for upset- minded opponents and, on occa- sion, their role as gentlemen was staunchly tested. Just as there have been great teams in Washington and Lee’s past, there will be other great teams in the future. But somehow, particularly for those who saw its struggled beginnings in 1958 and 1959, the 1961 squad has earned a special place in Washington and Lee athletic history and tradition. As good as it was at its own level of competition, no one will try to equate it with the 1914 team or the 1950 team in football ability. Yet, in its own way, it ranks with the very finest that the University has ever produced. Each player dedicated himself completely to the game, yet this total commitment never caused any of them to lose sight of the fact that football, after all, is a game and should be played for the fun of it. FALL 1961 It was a team that was proud to represent Washington and Lee. It was a team that often unsettled its opponents by singing the Swing in the dressing room before taking the field before the game or at half- time. When Coach McLaughlin hand- shook his way through well-wishers after the final game and entered the team dressing room, he didn’t find a joyous madhouse of exultant victors. He found every member of the squad, down on one knee, in silent prayer of gratitude for the good victory, for the good season. It was that kind of team, a team that all W&L men can be proud of.

While naturally proud of its record, students at Washington and Lee are quick—even happy—to admit that their team is not in the same class with those other undefeated teams. At Washington and Lee foot- ball is strictly amateur. No athletic scholarships are given, nor have any been given for the past seven years, a decision which at the time it was taken brought screams of protest from ardent alumni. But this year’s team, made up purely of students who play football rather than football players who study, is proving that winning football on an unsubsidized basis can be as much fun to play and as exciting to watch as any football anywhere. - Washington and Lee, of course, is not the only college to have abandoned big-time football. The University of Chi- cago, in perhaps the most famous instance of de-emphasis, dropped football completely in 1940 after 44 years in the Big Ten. Carnegie Tech, a football power of the ’20s, toned down its schedule in 1936, just as Johns Hopkins (SI, Dec. 5) had done the year before. Santa Clara, which twice played in the Sugar Bowl and once in the Orange, withdrew from national competition in 1952, although it has been creep- ing back quietly during the past two years. Of all the schools that have in varying degrees de-emphasized their football programs and kept them that way, Washington and Lee, which has not lost a game since 1959, has been the most successful. Washington and Lee University is located in Lexington, Virginia, deep in Civil War country, a school of red brick buildings fronted by white columns. The grounds are hilly and crowded with giant elms. Reminders of the Civil War and its Southern heroes are everywhere. Robert E. Lee is buried on campus. Stonewall Jackson lies not far away in the Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery. There is a Robert E. Lee Hotel, a Robert E. Lee Church and a Stonewall Jackson Hospital. continued 10 GENTLEMEN’S SPORT continued No university office is considered prop- erly furnished without a portrait of Lee. Washington and Lee is a gentleman’s university. Coats and ties must be worn in class. When one student passes an- other on campus, it is customary for both to say hello. The honor system pre- vails, and violators are disciplined by the students themselves. It was partly to preserve this reputa- tion that the university decided in 1954 to secede from big-time football. The 1950 team had been a powerhouse, win- ning eight of its 10 games, being ranked 15th in the country and going to the Gator Bowl. To maintain its eminence in competition with larger schools like Tennessee, Maryland, Navy and Ala- bama, Washington and Lee had offered athletic scholarships to boys who, in the NEAR WASHINGTON AND LEE’S INFORMAL BENCH YOUNG BOYS WATCH GAME words of one university professor, ‘‘were not Washington and Lee types.” When the football teams of the next three years did poorly, causing alumni to press for even more athletic scholar- ships, the time for a policy decision was at hand. The football program was cost- ing the university a great deal of money. The football players, on the whole, were proving scholastically inferior. Still, it is possible that the Board of Trustees might have yielded to the pressure of the alumni had not a. large portion of the football team been caught cheating during the final exams of 1954. Some- how they had made duplicate keys to rooms where exams were kept and had bought off the janitor. Those caught were expelled immediately, but the feel- ing still exists that many more violators graduated before an investigation could be carried out. A month later the Board of Trustees announced that Washington and Lee would award no more athletic scholar- ships and that the football schedule for that fall would be canceled. When the university resumed varsity football the next season, 1955, it was against teams like Sewanee, Centre and Hampden- Sydney. It was a lean season. The team lost all its games and scored only four touch- downs. In one game it gained only three yards. “‘No one covered our games,” says Frank Parsons, the university’s sports publicity man. ‘‘It was lonely in the press box. Just the P.A. announcer, a Statistician and me.” It was lonely in the stands, too. What few people would come to watch a game usually left at half time for the warmth of the fraternity house and the big game on national television. ‘‘It took guts to CUTTING SHARPLY TO HIS RIGHT, WASHINGTON Dees poe Eee Pee Re HO aee se ete THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE watch our games,” says one professor. Not many boys turned out for foot- ball that first season of unsubsidized football. During practice one afternoon Boyd Williams, an assistant coach, told all the ends to follow him down to a corner of the field. Williams trotted to the appointed spot and when he turned around found that he was being fol- lowed by only one man. The pressure to return to big-time football increased after the winless 1955 season. Campus polls favored it. ‘‘The students were embarrassed to have schools like Hampden-Sydney as op- ponents,” says one faculty member. One professor took his daughter to a dentist on a Saturday in 1955. ‘‘His waiting room was crowded with chil- dren,”’ he recalls, ‘‘but when he saw me he took me aside and started arguing that Washington and Lee just had to return to big-time’ football. He got so worked up over it I decided right then not to let him work on my kid’s teeth anymore.” The weakest link A local columnist urged the univer- sity to give up football entirely. ‘If a football team is to be a link between a school and its alumni, it had better be a stronger link than the 1955 Wash- ington and Lee team.” Many influential alumni, through the press, seconded the motion. ‘‘They were like a bunch of kids who had their little red wagon taken away,” said a former player recently. After Washington and Lee won only one game in 1956, Coach Bill Chipley was fired. “It was a ticklish situation,” says one faculty member. ‘‘It didn’t look too good, firing the coach just after we had de-emphasized.” The official state« ment released by the university ex- plained that Chipley had been let go because he was not ‘‘a good teacher of football.” In his place the university hired Lee McLaughlin, a solidly built man in his late 30s with a grin as wide as his shoul- ders. When he held his first football meeting, less than 20 boys showed up. “It had become fashionable not to play football,” says Frank Parsons. ‘‘Boys used to say, ‘I was great in prep school, but I wouldn’t play here.’ ”’ **People used to come up to me and say, ‘Isn’t it a shame that so-and-so hasn’t come out for football,’? Mc- Laughlin says. ‘“‘I’d tell them maybe, but I don’t think so-and-so could make our team. I knew we couldn’t get any- where until we stopped making heroes out of boys who didn’t want to play.” continued AND LEE FULLBACK TOMMY KEESEE (32) GAINS YARDAGE THROUGH BIG HOLE IN EMORY AND HENRY LINE. W. & L. WON 27 TO 6 GENTLEMEN'S SPORT continued McLaughlin traveled about looking for football players, although he could not, of course, offer anything more than a good education. He covered New Eng- land, concentrating .on Connecticut. ‘““Many of our boys come from prep schools,’ he says. “‘You can’t throw a rock in Connecticut without hitting a prep school.’”’ McLaughlin used to get depressed when prospective Washington and Lee football players were lured away by athletic scholarships. ‘‘I’ve gotten used to it now,” he says. ‘‘Re- cruiting is like selling insurance. If you see a thousand boys, maybe you get 10.” What Washington and Lee liked best about Lee McLaughlin is the way he ac- cepted the de-emphasized football pro- gram. He held a spring practice, but it was only for two weeks in February so that the boys were free to go out for spring sports. Daily workouts in the fall were only an hour and a half, and if a boy could not make practice because of studies, McLaughlin understood. In fact, several times he ordered boys not to show up for practice because he knew they had important tests coming up. He held a weekly skull session, an hour every Mon- day night. If the session ran past the hour, McLaughlin told his boys that they were free to leave. | McLaughlin’s first two seasons were no better than Chipley’s, but in that second year many of the boys who form the foundation of this year’s fine team arrived on the Washington and Lee cam- pus. One was Terry Fohs, the 145- pound linebacker who consistently leads the team in tackles. ‘‘One of the reasons I came to Washington and Lee is that I knew I could make the team,” he says. Quarterback Steve Suttle had no in- tention of playing college football. Mc- Laughlin invited him out to watch a practice session one day. ‘‘When I saw that the players weren’t a bunch of goons,” says Suttle, “I changed my SMILING COACH McLAUGHLIN PATS W.& L. TACKLE AFTER EMORY AND HENRY GAME mind.” Suttle also went back to his dormitory and talked his friend Ned Hobbs into trying out. Hobbs became the right end and is now a captain of the team. Jerry Hyatt had never played football before he entered Washington and Lee, because his high school in Maryland had no team. Hyatt tried out anyway, made the team and is now an outstanding center. In 1959 the team won three games, one more than it had won the previous four seasons. And last year Washington and Lee was undefeated, being tied only by Johns Hopkins. With each victory the howls of the alumni to return to big-time football diminished and interest in the COMFORT IN DEFEAT comes to Cap- tain McHorris of Emory and Henry. team grew. Once again people showed up to watch Washington and Lee play football, and if most of them still left at half time occasionally it was because | the team was winning by such big scores, not losing. This year’s team, after barely winning its first game against Hampden-Sydney 7-6, has scored 148 points in its next four games to its opponents’ 12. There have been no outstanding stars, although Fohs, the little linebacker, has again led the defense. A dozen players have scored touchdowns for Washington and Lee. In last week’s victory over Emory and Hen- ry, for instance, the four touchdowns were made by four different men. Coach McLaughlin generally uses most of his 50-odd players, not because he is kind but because the talent is evenly distrib- uted. Washington and Lee uses a run- ning game, passing only when necessary. ““When you pass,” says McLaughlin, *“‘three things can happen and only one of them is good.” The resurgence of football at Wash- ington and Lee has created a new worry among university officials. At the close of last season there were a few moments when it looked as if the school might lose McLaughlin. Virginia was looking for a new football coach and McLaughlin had graduated from there in 1941. But McLaughlin, if he got an offer, turned it down and now says he has no intention of ever leaving. ‘‘T have the best coaching job in the world,” he says. ‘‘I have the rank of as- sociate professor, tenure and extra bene- fits. This is a nice town, a fine place to live. And I work with nice boys.” McLaughlin recently gave a small par- ty for some of the faculty. One of the guests was Dana Swan, a young man who in his first season as coach of the freshman team has had the unhappy experience of watching his team lose every game. In fact, the team has yet to score a touchdown. As the guests were leaving, McLaugh- _ jin came over smilingly to Swan’s young wife. ‘‘You’ve probably heard already,” he said, ““but in case you haven’t, your husband is doing a fine job.” At Wash- ington and Lee, even the football coach is a gentleman.

Paxton, JR., Chairman The Alumni Fund Council Y THE TIME this issue of the Alumni Magazine reaches you, I hope you will have read thought- fully the message of the Alumni Fund Council mailed to you in connection with the opening ap- peal of the 1961-62 Alumni Fund Campaign. You'll recall that it urged some “tough-minded thinking about a sound investment.” I hope you have found the time during a busy season to reflect in an objective way about what your support of the Alumni Fund means to Washington and Lee and to you as an alumnus. This current Fund effort is per- haps the most important ever un- dertaken by your Alumni Fund Council. For three years, many of us worked for and contributed to the University Development Pro- gram. The success of this program was of paramount importance to 14 Washington and Lee, and our alumni did a good job in assuring this success. But, now, it is equally important that we reestablish and improve the pattern of annual giv- ing which we demonstrated so ef- fectively four, five, and six years ago. -There is, indeed, a: lot of catching-up to be done. How well we catch up this year will be the key to future succcesses of the Alumni Fund. As you know, the gifts received through the Alumni Fund make up what we often hear called “bread and butter” money for the Univer- sity. ‘his means the University uses this income to meet current operating expenses, like the merit salary increases for the nearly 100 fulltime professors, or for an im- portant piece of equipment in one of the science departments, or for expanding the book budget of Mc- Cormick Library, or for any of dozens of improvements that will Chairman PAXTON make Washington and Lee a better University for educating today’s young men. But over and above the direct financial benefits to the University which the Fund provides, there is another enrichment which is hard- er to evaluate or translate into dol- lars and cents. ‘This is the demon- stration of faith in the University by its alumni, who, through their annual giving, testify that Wash- ington and Lee has had an influ- ence for tremendous good on their lives and that this has instilled in them a loyalty and concern com- mensurate with the University’s continued well-being. me If you haven’t gotten down to that objective thinking we sug- gested earlier, how about taking the time right now to re-examine this inescapable relationship be- tween you and your University. As we wrote you before, this ap- peal for your support is fundamen- tally for an investment in the fu- ture strength of your Alma Mater. Again, your response will be more meaningful to you and this Uni- versity if it is motivated by some tough thinking about the values represented by Wasington and Lee which seem significant to you. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE The Honor System— An Alumnus Looks At the Honor System With Keen Insight and Offers a Challenge To ‘Today’s Students Dr. COULLING FALL 1961 — Ours To Preserve Dr. SipNEY M. B. CouLtine, ’46 Assistant Professor of English F EVERYONE WHO KNOws Washington and Lee well were asked to select the single most valuable asset of the University, I have little doubt that the choice would be almost unanimous—our honor system. From time to time, I know, there has been vigorous competition from other quarters: a Gator Bowl foot- ball team, a sensationally successful group on the Quiz Bowl, an historian of international fame, a new endowment enthusiastically applauded by educators throughout the country. But year in and year out it has been the honor system, more than anything else, that has placed Washington and Lee in its distin- guished position in American education. It is the honor system that has made possible much of the characteristic life of the college com- munity, from unproctored examinations to the unquestioning acceptance of student checks. It is the honor system that has helped to create an environment in which serious intellectual pur- suits are possible and in which excellence is re- spected. And, as I learned once again last sum- mer when I was among Washington and Lee’s representatives at a conference in Colorado Springs, it is the honor system that attracts more praise and more interest, among students and educators from New England to California, than anything else that can be mentioned about the University. | Don’t Forget ‘Why’ of Honor System This is so because, of all we can boast of here, our genuinely effective honor system is the one thing that is shared by only a handful of institutions in the nation. All of this seems so obvious that it hardly needs to be said. And yet in recent years I have increasingly sensed that we do not sufficiently appreciate the true (Reprinted from ‘THE RING-TUM PHI) 15 <. . a very practical system of assuring that honorable behavior shall be the rule of life here.” importance of the honor system. Even with the scan- dal of the early fifties only a decade behind us we are prone to regard the honor system with complacency, to accept it as the natural course of things, to con- sider it simply as something else here that is old and traditional. ‘Too many of us, I am afraid, are either unaware or forgetful of what exists where there is no honor sys- tem, casually dismissing the matter with the tired wit- ticism about the faculty with the honor and the stu- dents with the system. We tend to think that inevi- tably Washington and Lee will always have an honor system, and that the loss or weakening of the honor system “can never happen here.” Or, if I may judge by the themes I read now and then, we are tempted to speak of “the three great Washington and Lee traditions—conventional dress, the speaking tradition, and the honor system,” as if the student’s integrity is on the same level of importance as his custom of wear- ing a jacket and speaking to his friends. If I regard our honor system as pre-eminently important, the reason is that I have had first- hand experience with the immense problems that are created in institutions with inadequate honor systems, or no honor system at all. My first teach- ing assignment, for example, was at a large south- ern university which had an honor system sup- ported largely by elaborate rhetorical claims. Once when I reported a student for submit- ting an essay that he had copied from the New York Herald Tribune I caused a stir which af- fected the entire campus and lasted for weeks. Although the penalty for such an offense—failure in the course and expulsion for a semester—was clearly and explicitly stated in a book of regula- tions, the student and administrative authori- ties sought every possible evasion. No one seemed too remote from the case to help decide it: no testimony was too irrelevant to include. The student’s minister at home wrote to say that his family were pillars of the church; his dormitory coun- selor testified that he rarely kept late hours or created disturbances; and some of his other professors said that in class he seemed pleasant and attentive. Event- 16 ually I was notified by a dean that since most of the evidence pointed to the conclusion that the accused was really a prince of a fellow who had somehow mis- taken an article in the Herald Tribune for one of his own essays, I should forget the whole matter and per- mit the student to write another paper. Cheating Condoned Elsewhere At a second institution where I taught there was not even the pretense of an honor system, for the students were so accomplished in deception that the faculty and administration had long since abandoned any serious attempt to deal with the problem. One of my students, a third-string fullback who had made himself valuable as the extra-point specialist, was so skillfully assisted in his work that only late in the semester, and then by accident, did I discover that in reality he was scarcely literate. Another student was a cheater so clumsy that he was repeating English 1 for the fourth time, but he was beginning to learn. He came to class one day to write an impromptu theme, pulled out an old issue of The Readers Digest, and began copying one of its articles of condensed but lasting interest. When I challenged him he replied that he was merely taking notes in preparation for the paper—the paper he was supposed to be writing at that very moment! Both of us knew this was an outrageous lie, but both also knew that I was utterly powerless to do anything about it. Had I tried to take the matter to the ad- ministration I would have experienced the same treatment which a colleague of mine received when he attempted to press an honor case. He was accused by his dean of being a trouble maker and was en- couraged to seek a teaching position elsewhere. However absurd such incidents may seem, how- ever foreign they are to our experience at Washing- ton and Lee, it is salutary to be reminded that such things can and do happen every day on campuses throughout the country. If we are to speak of the honor system with something other than glibness and complacency, we must always keep in mind what the absence of an honor system can do: it can sap the vital- ity of an institution; it can make a travesty of the whole educational process; it can create an atmos- phere of mutual hostility between faculty and students THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE éd and demoralize everyone by establishing a mood of cynicism and futility. I have insisted on this point because I believe there is danger in complacency. But there is a second danger, I think, still more serious—the tendency, ap- parently growing in recent years, to subject the honor system to a scrutiny that obscures rather than illum- inates. I do not mean that we should never examine or discuss the honor system. Certainly the lively debate of this past spring was a good and healthful sign. Nor do I mean that the honor system is sacred or perfect, that it should be immune from criticism. If there are faults and weaknesses then by all means they should be corrected. But there is a difference be- tween an examination of the honor system that is use- ful and an examination of it that is not, and it has seemed to me that we have not always observed this distinction. What is Honor? In the past few months, for example, I have heard the complaint that in applying the honor system we face a vast difficulty because of our inability to define what we mean by honor. I hope that I am not being semantically naive when I say that I cannot believe we have any real difficulty here. I think that we know in general what we mean by the word, and even if we cannot adequately define it we at least know what is not honest. We know that lying and stealing and cheating are not honest, and we know what lying and stealing and cheating are. The honor system was nev- er intended to be the object of metaphysical or seman- tic speculation. It is a very practical system of assur- ing that honorable behavior shall be the rule of life here, and to introduce into it questions which lie outside its province is to weaken it without purpose. A second kind of unhelpful criticism is the demand to have the application of the honor system described in the most minute details, to in- dicate precisely the boundary between the area where it applies and the area where it does not apply. We need, of course, to know where we stand, and obviously we must state what offenses are punishable ce and what are not. But there is a danger in wishing to be too specific. Just as the desire to know exactly what pages of the text are included in the examination ma- terial encourages one to study only what is absolute- ly essential, so too does the insistence on minutely de- scribing the application of the honor system encourage one to avoid any unnecessary honesty. Again I hope that I am not being naive when I say that I think we know the area covered by the honor system. Its strength, we are accustomed to repeating, lies in its not being overworked, in its applying to a fairly restricted and well-informed area. But this has always meant that the honor system is strong because it has not at- tempted to regulate social conduct. It has never meant that the honor system is strong because it does not de- mand too much honor of a student. It has never meant that honor can be compartmentalized, that stealing in a dormitory is forbidden but stealing in a fraternity house is permissible. The word integrity suggests, etymologically, wholeness. We cannot have this “wholeness” if our concern is with discovering what dishonorable deeds we can get by with rather than with being honorable in all that we say and do. Washington and Lee Supports Honor System Whatever may have been the inadequacies of Wash- ington and Lee students, they have at least made one great and enduring contribution that is the bedrock of everything else—they have developed, administer- ed, supported, and maintained the honor system as a vital force in the University. If the present and future students wish to make a contribution, they can make no more signif- icant one than continuing the same tradition. But one thing they may not do. They may not regard the honor system as their exclusive possession. It is not theirs alone; it belongs to every student who through the years has faithfully helped establish it as an integral part of our lives. For this rea- son the enjoyment of it is not simply a right and a. privilege, but a solemn responsibility. As Ruskin said of the architecture of the past, the honor system is not ours to do with as we please; it is ours only to preserve. .... ut belongs to every student who through the years has faithfully helped established it as an integral part of our lives.” FALL 1961 17 University News Varsity Scholars Meet Tough Opposition on TV College Bowl m™ HEADLINING fall campus events was the University’s opportunity to participate in the General Electric College Bowl program over CBS network television. Washington and Lee’s “varsity scholars” appeared on the program of November 12, and in what can be described best as a tough break in scheduling, they had to engage a four-time winner of the contest, Pomona College of Claremont, Calif. Under the rules of the program, a team is permitted five victories before it must retire as an “un- defeated champion.” Pomona had defeated Texas Christian Univer- sity, Washington University of St. Louis, Hood College, and Amherst College before facing Washington and Lee in its final test. The Pomona team’s experience and stage presence were the decid- 18 ing factors in its eventual victory over Washington and Lee by a score of 330 to 110. Only five teams in the four-year history of the television version of the popular quiz program have re- tired as unbeaten champs, and members of the production staff of the program said the Pomona team was the sharpest ever to appear. Although Washington and Lee’s fine team was unable to upset the champions, it was universally cred- ited with having made a good ef- fort. The Pomona captain paid tribute to the Washington and Lee men in accepting the champion- ship bowl from Quizmaster Allen Ludden, and the general opinion of the winners was that the Gen- erals’ “varsity scholars” had_ pro- vided them with their sternest challenge of their five-week reign. Washington and Lee’s team was composed of senior Rick Anderson of Startex, S. C., juniors Bill Low- ry of Hobbs, N. M., and Jim Camp- bell of St. Petersburg, Fla., and sophomore ‘Tom Lybass, of Jack- sonville, Fla. They were chosen from among some 75 candidates who tried out for places on the team and the trip to New York. A lengthy series of written and oral examinations, giv- en by team coach Frank Parsons, reduced the field to eight finalists from which the four best were chosen on the basis of their broad knowledge of many fields and their ability to recall specific fact with great speed and accuracy. Alumni will recall that Wash- ington and Lee appeared three times on the radio version of the College Bowl in 1954 and 1955. The most successful team won five times in 1954 before bowing. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE = THE COLLEGE BOWL TEAM wasn’t the only team that spent long hours in practice this fall. ‘The Univer- sity’s revitalized debate team de- voted some 100 hours of prepara- tion that resulted in the Virginia State Championship in the fall Tau Kappa Alpha ‘Tournament. In win- ning, the debate team out-argued fourteen teams from ten other Virginia colleges, and several mem- bers ranked high individually. Under its coach, English instruc- tor Bill Chaffin, the debate team has enjoyed a resurgence of inter- est on the part of Washington and Lee students. Some thirty-four stu- dents make up the team and engage in the exhaustive research and practice that enables competent handling of the year’s national debate question: “Resolved: That labor organizations be subject to the jurisdiction of antitrust leg- islation.” Long hours have been spent in the Tucker Hall library and in McCormick Library, and team members have sought advice of experts in preparing their argu- ments. Among the top performers for Coach Chaffin have been Al Eckes, of Bradford, Pa.; William Noell, of Bluefield, W. Va.; Richard Mc- Enally, of New Bern, N. C.; Wil- liam Boardman, of Columbus, O.: and John Clark, of Birmingham, Ala. @ INITIAL ENROLLMENT at Washing- ton and Lee for the 1961-62 school year was 1,185 students, according to Registrar E. H.

THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE ———— Homecoming and Opening Dances Combine for a Colorful Weekend A Good ‘Time For All Except Joe McCutcheon, ’51 OR PROBABLY the first time in F the University’s history, Home- coming was combined with Open- ing Dances, resulting in an exciting weekend for alumni and students. Colorful football and rock ’n’ roll music were the ingredients which brought record crowds to the cam- pus for the occasion. ‘The campus was traditionally adorned with creative and imaginative fraternity house decorations. Four houses were awarded prizes with SPE get- ting the nod for first place and Sigma Nu, Beta, and ZBT follow- ing in close order. Friday night’s pageant featured a “pep” rally in front of the bril- liantly-lighted Doremus Gymna- sium with Cy Young, retired Alum- ni Secretary and former W&L great, sharing the spotlight with the judg- ing of eighteen candidates for Homecoming Queen. Inside, the resounding beat of three different “combo” groups was “warming up” to the occasion. During intermis- sion of the concert, a dark-eyed brunette from Sweet Briar, Miss Jean Inge, was crowned Queen. In spite of drizzling rain Satur- day morning, alumni began arriv- ing in force—some from such dis- ances as Miami, Florida; Missouri; and Alamo, California. After a warm reception at a morning cof- fee in the President’s home, some FALL 1961 419 alumni and their families join- ed in Evans Dining Hall for lunch- eon and pre-game conversation. Clearing skies over Wilson Field prevailed throughout the game as the Generals wrapped up their sec- ond consecutive Homecoming win, this time over Randolph-Macon. McLaughlin’s “untouchables” were determined to stay in the win col- umn and within 10 minutes of the first quarter had a margin of 21-0 over alumnus Joe McCutcheon’s Yellow Jackets. Halftime activities included a well-drilled high school band from Waynesboro, presenta- tion of the Homecoming Queen, and a second-place finish by W&L’s cross-country team in a three-way meet, despite the individual tri- umph of the Generals’ Mike Shank in record time for the course. At the final whistle, the Generals led, 43-0, and the large crowd dis- persed for the evening entertain- ment. Alumni joined on the mezzanine of the Robert E. Lee Hotel for a reception where talk of “the unde- feated”” was rampant. Both alumni and students attended the evening dances in the gymnasium where Lloyd Price and his orchestra sup- plied the music. As the sun rose Sunday, alumni and _ students agreed the “two for one” weekend was highly successful and one of the year’s finest.

While this anniversary hardly be- longs in the same ranks as the Civil War Centennial, it does seem an appropriate time to review the program as it operates at Washing- ton and Lee. ROTC follows the same general pattern at W&L as it does at the many other colleges and universi- By Major Epwarp Roxpury Professor of Military Science and Tactics ties throughout the country which have a voluntary program. How- ever, the Army purposely leaves the day-by-day specifics of operation open for adjustment to fit the par- ticular circumstances of the uni- versity involved. As a consequence, just as Washington and Lee has developed its own History Depart- ment, so it has its own Military Science Department. | Since the program is voluntary, the immediate problem at the be- ginning of each year is freshman enrollment. This usually runs slightly more than half of the in- coming class. A sincere effort is made to insure that all freshmen understand what the ROTC pro- gram offers. It is advantageous both to the student and the De- partment that freshmen do not enroll unless they have a real de- sire to participate actively and con- tinue this participation until they receive a reserve commission. The sophomore class is usually about thirty per cent smaller than the freshman class. This attrition is due both to students who do not find ROTC desirable for them and to the policy of the department of dropping others who apparently do not have an aptitude for the military. The freshman and sophomore years make up a block of instruc- tion which constitutes the Basic Course. The curriculum for this course is as follows: FRESHMAN YEAR Organization of Army & ROTC Individual Weapons & Marksmanship US Army & National Security European Military History Leadership Lab (Drill) SOPHOMORE CLASS US Military History Map & Aerial Photo Reading Introduction to Operations and Basic Tactics Leadership Lab (Drill) PRESIDENT COLE, accompanied by MAJOR Roxsury, commends distinguished cadets at the annual “President’s Day” review. 24. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE New recruits learn how to “dress right” under the instruction of upperclass officers. The next two years of ROTC are grouped together as the Ad- vanced Course. ‘The reason for this grouping is the very different re- lationship between the student and the Army once he enters the Ad- vanced Course. For the first time he comes under a contractual ar- rangement which obliges him to remain in the program while, at the same time, he begins receiving a monthly payment in addition to a uniform. Also he has embarked in the last stage of training which is going to bring his reserve com- mission. Entrance into the Ad- vanced Course remains voluntary, but, since not all students who want to enter can be accepted be- cause of a quota system set up by the Department of the Army, it is also very selective. Generally, about seventy per cent of the qualified applicants are accepted. The courses taught in the Ad- vanced Course are designed to meet the needs of the future officers as opposed to those in the Basic Course which are more concerned with an initial understanding of the military and the acquiring of certain individual skills. The courses taught are: JUNIOR YEAR Leadership Military ‘Teaching Principles Branches of the Army Tactics and Communication FALL 1961 Pre-camp Orientation Drill and Command SENIOR YEAR Operations Logistics Military Law Army Administration US Role in World Affairs Officers Orientation Leadership Lab (Drill) ‘To give the Advanced Course student a chance to exercise his military knowledge, he must at- tend a six-week summer camp at the end of his junior year. This year, Washington and Lee cadets went to Fort Bragg, North Caro- lina, where they participated in everything from tactical problems to K.P. While summer camp may never replace the Grand ‘Tour in popularity, it does perform the important function of providing practical experience in areas which have previously been covered only in the classroom. To supplement this summer camp experience three field exer- cises are conducted here at Wash- ington and Lee. Last year, these in- cluded a night problem, a platoon attack exercise, and work with heli- copters. The four years of training and education in ROTC culminate in the commissioning ceremony held just before graduation. Each year approximately fifty officers are com- missioned in all branches of the service except the Medical and Judge Advocate General Corps. Af- ter commissioning, these new re- serve officers go on to serve in the active army for six months or two years on the same basis as the other 14,500 officers produced each year from ROTC units, such as the one at VMI, all over the country. In addition to producing reserve officers, Washington and Lee also furnishes the regular army with two or three career officers a year. Through the Distinguished Mili- tary Graduate program a Wash- ington and Lee student may enter the regular army if he is qualified and desires to do so. Since its inception on the campus there have been 470 students com- missioned in the Army reserve and fifteen commissioned in the regu- lar army. Comparably, Washing- ton and Lee, with a Corps of Ca- dets of around goo, has one of the highest commissioning rates in the United States. In the coming years when it will be more important than ever that the Armed Forces of this country have high quality, dedicated of- ficers, Washington and _ Lee, through its Military Science De- partment, can, as it always has, continue to provide that most im- portant ingredient of all—good men willing to serve. 25 T FIRST there were 300 per day, A then 400, and one day 552 Oc- cupational Questionnaires were re- turned. More than 4,o00 returns in all were received in the first two weeks after mailing, approxi- mately 40 per cent of the total number of questionnaires original- ly mailed. It is an excellent start but there is a long way to go to reach the 100 per cent mark of 10,966 alumni. Reminders will be mailed soon, but in the meantime, alumni are urged to look up that blue questionnaire and return it promptly before the year ends. As the returns come in, they are being coded. IBM machines are 26 busy “punching” the information that later will be used to develop statistical data on former students and their activities. While there are roughly 11,000 alumni _ for whom there are addresses, the total number of IBM cards will ap- proach 70,000. Various sets of cards are necessary to collate the dif- ferent statistical programs. On the whole, the questionnaires have been fully and accurately completed. Some adjustments and clarification may be required at a later date. An important aspect of the Oc- cupational File is the interest and enthusiasm of the alumni as re- You're In The Cards! Initial Response To Questionnaire On Jobs Is Good flected in the good early returns. If the rate of progress continues, usable data in significant quantity will be ready by Spring. Collectively, this occupational record will form a more accurate profile of Washington and Lee alumni and their careers. Individ- ually, the record will provide a more complete description of the alumnus as a person. It will be- come a part of his permanent file and will be a lasting account of his achievements. From Executive Secretary Bill Washburn comes this message: “Be one who cares. Return your ques- tionnaire!” THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE In Washington Men Behind The Scenes HE OCCUPATIONAL FILE CARDS for four Washington and Lee alum- ni might well indicate ‘men be- hind the scenes in Washington.” Their titles vary, but each holds an important administrative post in the office of a Virginia Senator or Representative. The senior member of the group, from the standpoint of Washington service, is Robert S. Bradford, ’55, administrative assistant to Rep. Richard E. Poff, veteran Republi- can legislator from the Sixth Dis- trict. He has been with Congress- man Poff since 1957, and is a native of Blacksburg, Va. Robert B. McNeil, ’47, is also from Blacksburg originally, and has served as legislative assistant to Senator A. Willis Robertson since 1960.

Downing’s staff as his administrative assistant in 1960, also. All four are former newsmen, and all majored in journalism at Washington and Lee. Their jour- nalistic backgrounds are particu- larly valuable in handling the various press contacts that Sena- tors and Congressmen must main- tain. But this is only one of many responsibilities that make the job of a Congressional aide a chal- lenging and interesting occupation. 27 CHAPTER CORRESPONDENTS Appalachian—Judge M. M.

The Allan medal will be awarded annually hereaf- ter for “outstanding research in human genetics.” Until his death in 1943, Dr. Al- lan was a tireless worker in uncovering the relationship of heredity to disease. His practice in Charlotte included pa- tients in the most remote and simple dwellings in the mountainous surrounding areas where he found one of the few spots in the United States where heredi- tary disease could be located in quantity. The study of hereditary disease became a compelling force in his life, so much so that he kept “pedigrees” of his moun- tain patients and visited their relatives in every part of the state to trace the in- cidence of their genetic diseases. In ad- dition to private practice and individual research, Dr. Allen organized the depart- ment of medical genetics at the Bowman Gray School of Medicine. 1905 Late in July HANEY BERLIN CONNER of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was presented with a 50-year Masonic membership pin.

We are all poorer by his absence. “In his association with us and with Washington and Lee he was always generous with his time. His loyalty, good judgment, high integ- rity and leadership are reflected in the growth of our alumni chapter today. He seldom if ever, missed any of our meetings. His devotion and enthusiasm were inspirational. “A goodly company will hold the Judge in grateful and affectionate remembrance as a Christian gentle- man, a leader in his church, who won hearts and attained nobility in his capacity for doing the many little things for so many that made life for the beneficiaries thereof happier and less burdensome.

Judge Martin was sworn in as “roving” judge for the eastern and western districts of South Carolina, one of seventy-three new federal judge- ships approved by Congress this year. Senator Olin Johnston of South Carolina presented Martin with the pen President Kennedy used in signing the legislation and the nomination of Martin to be a federal judge.

During the past eigh- teen years he has presided in every county in South Carolina and knows almost every member of the bar in the state. The syndicated columnist, W. D. Workman, in devoting an en- tire column to Judge Martin’s ap- pointment writes: “A foregone con- clusion became an accomplished fact Friday when Judge J. Robert Martin of Greenville became South Carolina’s newest, youngest, and biggest federal district judge.... ‘The fact that he has done so, how- ever, is more a tribute to his legal and judicial ability—and industry— than to the political considerations which sometimes dictate the choice of judges...and it was his dili- gence and capacity, not his politi- cal connections, which won for him the endorsement of local bar asso- clations throughout the entire state. “... he is no court-room dictator, but he runs a strict and straight court. His height, about six feet two, and his weight, topping 200 pounds, make him an impressive figure, but he retains the agile mo- bility reminiscent of the days when he was varsity tackle of the Wash- ington and Lee football team....
