Improved Science Accommodations Strengthen University’s Program Physics and Biology Departments Occupy New Building; Howe Hall Is Completely Remodeled For Use By Chemistry and Geology Departments LTHOUGH THERE was still much work to be done before Wash- ington and Lee’s new science fa- cilities could be called complete, classes and laboratories opened as scheduled in the new and _ re- modeled buildings in September. There was still the landscaping and other outside clean-up, and inside there were a thousand and one odds and ends for the painters, carpenters, plumbers, and electric- ians. But, for the most part, stu- dents could come and go unim- 2 paired, and the between classes traf- fic hindered the workers little. Completed at a cost of over $1,500,000, the new facilities gave a sparkling new appearance to the University’s back campus. Although the showpiece for inspection tours by alumni and parents in October was the new four-story building for biology and physics, the complete- ly remodeled Howe Hall for chem- istry and geology provided the Uni- versity, in effect, with two brand new buildings. Standing in relative concealment behind the Colonnade for many years, Howe Hall had been a toler- able architectural incongruity. Now, with new white pilasters ad- ded and with appropriate white cornices and window trim, the building and its new companion blend well with the University’s traditional modified Greek revival motif. Inside are classrooms and labora- tories that rank Washington and Lee in the forefront among the na- THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE tion’s colleges in its provisions for undergraduate instruction and re- search. Each of the four departments boasts large lecture halls and spa- cious laboratories where students and professors have elbow room to spare. Each faculty office is adjoined by or is close to a small research laboratory reserved for the special work of the professor. There are special research laboratories also for students, particularly those en- gaged in work under the Robert E. Lee Research Program for under- oraduates. In addition to classrooms for large groups, there are smaller seminar rooms for advanced in- struction. Each department has its own library. Elevators in each building facilitate the moving of heavy equipment and materials from floor to floor and save wear and tear on professorial legs. FALL, 1962 Lab benches and other furniture in each department are new and first-rate. Each has some new tech- nical equipment, although addi- tional equipment still must be pro- vided before maximum good can be made of the new facilities. Each department has completely new features of one kind or anoth- er. Physics will operate the new ob- servatory atop the new wing of Howe Hall where a powerful tele- scope will be installed soon. ‘The observatory location offers not only an unimpaired view of the sky but a spectacular panorama of the roll- ing Shenandoah countryside to the west and north of the campus. Physics also hopes to equip a lab- oratory for nuclear studies in the near future. The department mus- eum will house, among _ other things, General Lee’s famous plane- tarlum. Biology will operate a new vivar- ium and greenhouse. There is room for projected new courses in histol- ogy and ecology. Chemistry has new laboratory space for work in instrumental analysis, as well as a new venting system for all laboratories. Provis- ion has been made for safer stor- age of dangerous supplies. Geology will make use of a new seismology room for the study of earthquake phenomena, and the de- partment also has new display fa- cilities for its extensive collection of rocks and other minerals. Because all departments make use of photography in one way or another, each has a darkroom de- signed to meet its needs. All rooms throughout the new buildings are brilliantly illuminat- ed with fluorescent lighting that brings daylight brightness at any hour. Restroom facilities include A professor’s eye view of the spacious lecture room located in the new wing of Howe Hall. A freshman chemistry class prepares to take notes from PROFESSOR JOHN H. WISE. high pressure emergency showers which would help reduce injury in certain kinds of mishaps. The science departments are gen- erally pleased with their new ac- commodations. A final review with the project inspector brought out long lists of grievances from each department head, but most were the kind that could and would be corrected. All department heads agree that, for the first time in many years, the University is able to offer a program in science whose physical facilities are on a par with the high caliber of professors and students who are engaged in the program. ‘The new facilities are a direct re- sult of the two-year University De- velopment Program which was conducted among alumni, parents, and other friends of the Univer- sity from 1959 to 1961. Most of the funds involved are the gifts of 4,135 contributors to this program. ‘The program itself was the out- growth of the Board of Trustees’ decision to bring the University’s science facilities into balance with the University’s provisions for other disciplines.

Cole has em- phasized the necessity for main- taining a proper equilibrium among the University’s various pro- grams and departments. In remarks to alumni, parents, students, and others, he has stressed the fact that the new facilities in science consti- tute only one of a constant series of adjustments in plant and program which a forward-moving college or university must make. In his ad- dress to the opening University as- sembly in September, he declared: “If, in the past year or longer— and continuing today—there seems to be a new emphasis on scientific study at Washington and Lee, this is only an example of the constant realignments which must take place within a university’s broad _pro- eram. The swift developments in FALL, 1962 science of the past two decades de- mand that colleges and universities vitalize, accelerate, or otherwise ad- just their programs of scientific in- struction and research. “Washington and Lee’s new sci- ence facilities, its electronic data processing equipment, and the ad- dition of certain new courses re- flect its response to this need. And if this adjustment appears to place other phases of the University’s program in temporary shadow, then strong efforts must be made to assure that there is no real imbal- ance in emphasis or support. “The same standards of excel- lence should be the goal for all di- visions, and this striving for the most appropriate balance among Washington and Lee’s different programs, departments, and many other features must be an unending task.” ABOvE, the observatory and new wing of Howe Hall.

Another Year Opens —The 214th ASHINGTON AND LEE opened its 214th year on September W with a record enrollment of 1,230 students registered. Not since the post-World War II years had the Uni- versity’s student body topped the 1,200 mark. Slight in- creases were noted in the size of the freshman class, whose 1962 total of 333 was 18 more than in 1961, and in the Law School where the 1962 registration was 141, up from a 1961 figure of 128. The first week for freshmen was normally hectic. After Freshman Camp came registration and placement tests, rush week, and talks with faculty advisers. Finally, there were classes. Remember the feeling? The opening assembly. Freshmen pondered placement tests, talked with faculty advisers. There were the usual long registration lines, and, finally, classes. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Mr. ALBEE holds forth with students in a dis- cussion session at the Troubadour theater. Playwright Edward F. Albee’s Visit A Vivid Troubadour “‘Experience”’ HEN THE CURRENT Broadway Wa Who’s Afraid of Vir- ginia Woolf?, opened in New York on the night of Saturday, Oc- tober 13, a great many persons at Washington and Lee and in Lex- ington anxiously awaited the critics’ verdicts that normally make or break a Broadway venture. They felt a personal interest in the play, for they had come to know, or at least were briefly closely associated with, the 34-year-old playwright, Edward F. Albee. Albee had spent two weeks at Washington and Lee last May as a visiting professor under the Uni- FALL, 1962 versity’s Glasgow Program. He was popularly received, particularly by the Troubadour players who were engaged in the production of two of Albee’s successful “off Broad- way” short plays. In view of what has subsequently been written about how difficult it is to really know Edward Albee, the Trouba- dour director, Dr. Cecil Jones, feels they got to know him quite well. When the critics had spoken, and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? was an established Broadway hit, students and faculty at Washington and Lee took added pride in their association with a playwright who was being compared to ‘Tennessee Williams and Eugene O'Neil. When Albee came to Washing- ton and Lee, he was a successful playwright, but he had never had one of his works produced on Broadway, nor had he written what could be considered a full-length play. His short works, such as The American Dream and The Zoo Story staged by the Troubadours, had won acclaim “off Broadway’”’ and in Europe. He was recognized by some as a coming power in the theatre, an avant garde playwright closely allied with the so-called “theatre of the absurd.” ~I Albee’s plays don’t always make | sense to the people who see them, but most theatergoers agree that his work often packs the wallop of an unforgettable experience. That is the way Albee plans it, for he believes that every play should be an experience. He emphasized this point in his informal sessions with Washington and Lee students. He believes’ that the -audience should be unable to forget the play after the final curtain, if the play- wright has been effective. If the ‘Troubadour productions of his two plays were “experiences” for the packed houses who viewed them, then the mere fact of Albee’s presence and influence was an un- forgettable experience « for . the young actors involved and for the ‘Troubadour’s director, Cecil Jones. Albee arrived one week before opening night of the double pre- sciuita‘icn of his plays. During the rehear,al period, he attcaded four full rehearsals of both plays and several private or informal confer- ence; both with the director and the student actors. Part of his duties as a visiting Glasgow Professor was to advise on the production of the plays, and he took to his work with enthusiasm. fiow would it feel to direct or act in a play with the playwright look- ing on, notebook in hand? Dr. Jones found it a “pleasant and prof- itable’” experience, and his student colleagues agree. Dr. Jones recalls that Albee’s involvement as an advisor was dif- ferent for each play. For The Amer- ican Dream, he tended to work through the director, passing his comments on the performances to Jones, who would in turn relay Al- bee’s suggestions to the cast. In The Zoo Story, which required only two actors, Albee often chose to go over his notes in considerable de- tail with the young men, ‘Tim Mor- ton of Roanoke and John Dunnell of Brooklyn. “His comments were always help- ful,” adds Jones. “He recognized the limitations of non-professionals, and he offered criticism which the actors could both understand and use to better their work. We could not have hoped that his advice and the manner in which he gave it would have been better than it was.” Dunnell described his association with Albee as “wonderful.” ‘Mr. Albee was able to give the actors a deeper understanding of the meaning of the plays and an ac- curate insight into the motivation of the characters, Dunnell says. ‘In reading or seeing an Albee play, it isn’t hard to be confused and up- set in trying to pinpoint his real EDWARD F. ALBEE meaning. ‘Talking with Mr. Albee gave me an exciting revelation in- to his fascinating mind.” Andy Adelson of Baltimore, who had a leading role in The Ameri- can Dream, says it is one thing to discuss a play with the director, but it is a “rare privilege’ to be able to discuss it with the director and the playwright. “At first I was frightened at the prospect of a play- wright criticizing my interpretation of: fis play, Adelson: pecalis.. think Mr. Albee’s visit was one of the most exciting things this cam- pus has experienced since I have been ‘here; * In his contacts with students and faculty, Albee is remembered as charming and sociable. He spent many hours with student and facul- ty members in ‘bull sessions” that extended into the early morning hours. Jones says these contacts benefited the students as much as his classroom visits or rehearsal work. “He was willing and able to talk—and listen—for hours,” Says Jones. “And always, without mak- ing his companions seem uncom- fortable, he seemed to study the people around him.” Students learned Albee’s views on a number of topics: How he writes: “A play is writ- te pretty much in the head. The original impetus for a play comes from some small, nagging thought that you don’t pay much attention to but is constantly recurring. When I sit down to type, it only takes me a month or so of actual writing to complete a play.” On college drama: “College stu- dents seem to be more serious in their approach to the theater. The amount of enthusiasm and know- ledge is somewhat greater than when I was an undergraduate. I have noticed that they have a good awareness of the avant garde move- ment.”’ Because of his youthful appear- ance, Albee could easily pass for a Washington and Lee student and probably was mistaken for just that during his comings and goings on the campus. His own collegiate ex- perience was brief. He was born in Washington, but grew up in New York after having been adopted by a wealthy New York family at the age of two weeks. He graduated from Choate School, but his undergraduate ca- reer at ‘Trinity was curtailed when he was expelled for cutting classes and chapel. He wrote his first play when he was 12, and his first pro- fessional production, The Zoo Story, was staged in 1959. Two other plays, The Death of Bessie Smith and The Sandbox, also pre- miered in Europe, while The Amer- — THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE ican Dream opened in New York in January, 1962. Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? was described by the New York Times critic, Howard ‘Taubman, as a “wry and electric evening in the theater.” Most other critics agreed, although one dissenter summed the long play up this way: “...three and a half hours long; four characters wide, and a cesspool deep.” This latter commentary reflected Albee’s great ability to amuse and horrify, often at the same time. Mr. Taubman wrote of Virginia Woolf: “Although Mr. Albee’s vision is grim and sardonic, he is never sol- em...Mr. Albee’s dialogue 1s dipped in acid, yet ripples with the relish of the ludicrous.” Albee provided an insight into his philosophy of the theater when he gave a public lecture while at Washington and Lee. Speaking in the Troubadour Theater, he de- clared: “A playwright is not only a crea- tive person who merely writes, He is, as well, or at least should be, sort of a demonic social critic, a force for things that are right, as opposed to things that are cor- rect, for example. It’s the play- wright’s responsibility to be a kind of national conscience.” “Our playwrights,’ Albee went ALBEE, left, discusses perform- ances with Troubadour actors, l-r, ANDY ADELSON, [1M Morton, and JOHN DUNNELL. FALL, 1962 on, “are encouraged to congratu- late their audiences, to reassure them that everything is just dandy, when it’s more likely than not that things are not so dandy. Our play- wrights are encouraged to pat the audience on the back, to tell them that their values are fine. Well, it seems to me that if you have a cul- ture that needs to be patted on the back and told that its values are fine, maybe there’s something a little suspect about those values.” Albee’s estimation of the relative importance of various persons in the theater was unusual. He said that playwrights, directors, pro- ducers, and actors have little to do with what the theatergoer sees on Broadway. The “chief aesthetician” who controls Broadway is the real estate owner, the man who owns the theater. Albee says the second most important person in the New York theater is the lady executive of the theater parties whose pat- ronage often determines the finan- cial success of a production. “Well, naturally, in the long run,” Albee concludes, “no really good theater can come from this sort of thing. This is commercial- ism, big business.” In the audience at the ‘Trouba- dour Theater the night Albee spoke was the noted American author, Carson McCullers, who was visiting in Lexington. She is a friend of Al- bee’s and he introduced her from the stage, and later, after his formal talk she joined him on stage for a question period and discussion. Jones was delighted with this literary event, because it brought to the Troubadour stage simultan- eously two markedly — successful writers, and focused attention on the fact that Albee’s next play will be an adaptation of Miss McCul- lers’ novella, Ballad of the Sad Cafe. Although she had read AI- bee’s plays, Miss McCullers had her first opportunity to witness a pro- duction of his on closing night at the ‘Troubadour Theater. Albee became so interested in the Troubadours’ work with his plays that he extended his visit be- yond the planned ten days so that he could be present during all the performances. Afterwards, at the traditional cast party on closing night, he complimented the players, the production staff, and the direc- tor. “If I could find a group of actors in New York who would work as hard and as long as the ‘Trouba- dours without being paid for it, I would never worry again,” he told them. The way Albee’s star is rising on Broadway now, he won't have to worry for quite some time. The Board of Trustees Mr. Caskie Resigns as Rector, Dr. Hutcheson Is His Successor R. JAMES R. CASKIE, 06, Lynch- burg attorney and civic lead- er, has resigned as Rector of Wash- ington and Lee University’s Board of ‘Trustees. Mr. Caskie, who is 77, informed the Board of his decision at its reg- ular October meeting. He = said health considerations prevent him from continuing as Rector, al- though he will remain a member of the Board. Elected to succeeed Mr. Caskie as Rector was Dr. J. Morrison Hut- cheson, ‘02, Richmond physician and professor emeritus at the Med- ical College of Virginia. Mr. Caskie joined Washington and Lee’s Board in 1924, and was elected Rector in 1953. He is a grad- uate of Washington and Lee, re- ceiving his A.B. degree in 1906 and his LL.B. degree in 1909. Dr. Hut- cheson, who is 79, received his A.B. degree at Washington and Lee in 1902. He was elected to the Board of ‘Trustees in 1935, and has served on its executive committee since 1940. “Under Mr. Caskie’s rectorship the University has made great strides in improving its academic program and _ physical facilities,” President Fred C. Cole commented. “The dedication of Mr. Caskie to his Alma Mater is clearly indicated 10 in his willingness to continue as a trustee, although he feels it neces- sary to relinquish his chairman- ship. Dr. Hutcheson’s long service and close association with the Uni- versity gives assurance that Wash- ington and Lee will continue its ed- ucational leadership.” Mr. Caskie is senior partner in the Lynchburg law firm of Caskie, Frost, Davidson and Watts. In ad- dition to his service as Rector, Mr. Caskie also has acted as an unpaid general counsel to the University. A native of Lovingston, Va., Mr. Caskie began his law practice in Mr. JAMES R.

Cole has been elected chairman of the Board of Trustees of the College Entrance Examination Board. President Cole, who succeeds Headmaster Frank D. Ashburn of Brooks School, North Andover, Mass., will serve a two-year term. His election took place at a regu- lar meeting of the Board of Trus- tees held in New York City on Oc- tober 30-31. President Cole was named to the CEEB’s governing and policy-mak- ing body in 1959 when he was aca- demic vice-president at ‘Tulane University. He became Washington FALL, 1962 9 and Lee’s president in September, 1959. The College Entrance Examina- tion Board’s membership is com- posed of 504 colleges and univer- sities, 165 secondary schools, and 41 educational associations. ‘The Board’s activities include adminis- tration of the Scholastic Aptitude Test, Achievement Tests in 15 sub- jects, and other CEEB tests and examinations; the supervision and sponsorship of numerous research projects in fields of measurement, testing, and psychology; ithe sup- port of the College Scholarship Ser- vice, a central source of data relat- ing to student financial aid; and publication of informational and interpretive guidance materials. President Cole’s first meeting as chairman will be held in New Or- leans in December. Also elected at the Board of ‘Trustee’s October 30-31 meeting was Vice Chairman Rixford K. Sny- der, director of admissions at Stan- ford University, Stanford, Calif. Seven new members were added to the Board of Trustees for three- year terms, and one new member was appointed to fill an unexpired term. 11 The Eighth Annual Parents’ Weekend ARENTS’ WEEKEND at Washing- P ton and Lee has a tradition of being bigger and better each time around. ‘The 1962 event October 26-28 maintained the pattern, for a record total of 1,107 parents and guests registered for the full pro- gram offered by the University and the Parents’ Advisory Council. ‘The meeting of the Council it- self went on record as one of the most productive ever under the able leadership of Sherwood Wise, °32. Discussion involved a host of matters pertaining to student life at the University, and Council mem- bers expressed unusual concern for the mounting social expenditures of students. The Council requested the University make a study of the matter and report to the Council on its findings next fall. Donald A. Holden, Newport News shipbuild- ing executive, is new chairman of the Advisory Council. Parents came from 28 different states and the District of Colum- bia. Parents of 509 students, repre- senting 45 per cent of the student body, were present—a truly remark- able turnout.

With twenty-three oth- er Americans I was heading for Ghana—for Africa! it was really happening to me! I knew that the next seven weeks would be the full- est of my life to date and was glad that I had firmly resolved to keep a fairly complete diary in order to perpetuate as many of the coming events and impressions as possible. Now, in trying to relive my summer in West Africa, I find that the pages of this day-to-day record captured the color and reality of my experi- 14 Summer Work in A frica Senior Meade Christian Tells Of His Experiences and Observations In Ghana as a Member of a Work Camp Sponsored by the Episcopal Church ences that would be lacking in an article written only from what I re- membered. I believe that this more than compensates for the crudeness of style necessitated by a record of this type. Wed. July 4, 1962 The sunrise was welcome and beautiful, but the coast could not be seen because of the dense clouds. Then the lights of Dakar! We land- ed and were strangely affected by our first real look at African soil. The air was muggy and the day gloomy. A comment: “This looks like San Antonio.” Accra—[the capital of Ghana]. As we made ready to leave the jet, even the hot, barren landing strip of the Accra Airport was welcome. Then straight to the beautifully dif- ferent University of Ghana at La- gon, just outside the city. Orange roofs over cream colored walls—liz- ards freely roaming the grounds and entering the buildings—lovely orange flowers. The noon lunch— our first taste of African food—a beef soup with rice—tasted great, and then the pepper hit—wham! I'm going to learn to get used to it though. Then a picnic given by the U.S. Embassy for all Americans in Ghana [July 4th]. Just like home—fried chicken, touch foot- ball; but it broke my concentra- tion of making the transition. It THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE was security and, in a way, I’m sor- ry I went. Thurs., July 5, 1962 After dinner we went by bus into Accra, some of the University stu- dents acting as guides. Already we felt an attachment for the students in that they were our “middle-men”’ to the people. Walked and walked through the streets—market “mam- mies” selling everything. The chil- dren reacted favorably to our pres- ence. Couldn’t tell about the adults—they smiled, but I still felt uneasy. Arrived at the Lido [night club]—danced the “High Life” [West Africa’s latest dance craze| with both Americans and Ghana- ians—felt my background tying me down for the first time, but I over- came it. With each day’s passing, we are getting to know each other much better, and now certain the Ghana- ian students are going out of their way to be kind. A few appear unconcerned, of course, but the majority enjoy conversing with us as friends—no attempt yet to engage us in political discussions. [I learn- ed later that this campus was one of the most Western-minded and government-opposed spots in the country. | Sun., July 8, 1962 My first African church service— g:00-11:00 a.m. Simple level of preaching but highly ritualistic ser- vice.

Some of the men were more enthusiastic—the young people were especially friendly. ‘Then to a soccer match [Ghana’s main sport, and one in which they are internationally recognized].

Tomorrow our group will be di- vided for ten days while we live in Ghanaian homes. I'll be going to Koforidua, a fairly large about sixty miles inland. town Mon., July 9, 1962 It seems like a year ago that I awoke this morning at the Univer- sity and headed for the lorry park downtown. [The lorry park is where one goes to get inter-city tnanspor- tation, the lorry—either a truck or small bus—being the chief means of travel in West Africa.] ‘The lorry to Koforidua was packed as always. Decided on a‘fair rate with the driver and settled down for our two-hour ride. Village after village of yellow, concrete block houses with tin roofs. Now and then a modern establishment to contrast with the old. Passed the site of Nkrumah’s [Ghana’s ““Osagyefo’— translated as “savior” or “‘messiah’’] newest rest home. Arrived in Kofor- idua and met my host, Mr. Daniel Dankwa, the principal of Ghana Secondary School, the local high school. Mr. Dankwa’s household is traditionally Ghanaian in that you never know exactly how many peo- ple live there—cousins, nieces—peo- ple coming and going. Went to the home of a young American couple who, along with another young man, are the U.S. Peace Corps rep- resentatives in Koforidua. All three are teachers at the high school. Tues., July ro, 7962 Went to the high school and roamed at will. Mr. Dankwa gave me leave to enter any class and talk about whatever I pleased. Noticed the formal atmosphere—the class stood upon my entrance, and each pupil stood when speaking. ‘The intelligent ones made themselves heard and showed real interest in what was going on. Those who were lost betrayed this by expressionless faces. Went with Bob Crisco [Peace Corps] to his home for lunch and was convinced of the Ghanaian love for red pepper when it turned up in the peanut butter that his house- boy made. I am learning a few words of the Twi dialect now, but I need to know it only for the sake of courte- sy, since almost all of the Ghana- ians with whom I have come in contact speak English. [The school classes are taught in English.] Wed., July rz, 1962 Had a good talk with Mr. Dank- wa tonight. I find that he was edu- cated at St. Andrew’s in FEdin- burgh as well as at Indiana Uni- versity. We discussed what Ghana’s needs are. As he sees it, it is a mis- take not putting first things first. Give the people education—teach them how to help themselves. He is not impressed with the Russian exhibition, which opened today, in Accra. “What does Ghana want with a helicopter?” He was most impressed with the Canadian exhi- bition, which took Ghanaian re- sources and used them to show the people economical ways of accom- plishing things with what is at hand. ’m seeing more and more that the educated class is antti- Nkrumah and that the illiterate just don’t care. I have as yet to meet strong government support- ers. Mr. Danka’s niece, Amma, is still very shy around me, and the baby in the family downstairs cries when- ever he sees me. I hear that a few families still practice the custom, carried over from the pre-indepen- dence days, of frightening young 15 children with animal skins and saying, “A white man is coming.” Sat., July 14, 1962 Went to a Roman Catholic wed- ding in Accra today with Mr. Dank- wa, who was best man. The couple had been married by native custom ten years before and were now having it blessed in a Christian church. ‘The reception was worth noting. Everyone sat around the periphery of the room and was serv- ed beer or soft drinks. ‘Then one by one all of the guests rose to toast the bride and groom, myself in- cluded. We had to leave early in order to attend a school banquet in Koforidua honoring an Indian teacher from S. Africa, who was leaving after a_ three-year stay. Called on to express his views of Ghana, the gentleman mentioned that he was thankful for the oppor- tunity to live and work in a non- racial society. He will now move back under Apartheid in which In- dians find themselves in the posi- tion of subordination to whites, re- gardless of their level of mentality. I think he was very courageous in going back where he felt his real task lay. Wed., July 18, 1962 This afternoon I got my first taste of Ghana’s Young Pioneers, the youth branch of the Conven- tion People’s Party [the political party in Ghana]. At the Presbyteri- an middle school we saw students assembled on the athletic field for a review of the marching and sing- ing that they have been taught. During the course of the practice, the following dialogue between leader and group was repeated: Leader: Nkrumah can do no wrong. Group: Nkrumah is leader. Leader: Messiah. Group: Nkrumah is Messiah. 16 our Nkrumah | is our our Leader: Nkrumah dies. Group: He never dies. never I got chills after that one. Fri. July (20,. 1962 Said goodbye to Mr. Dankwa and Koforidua and headed for Accra where we met others in our group and started for Agbozume near the ‘Togo border, the site of our work camp. We've been hearing that this part of the country is partially flooded because of the worst rainy season since 1925. Well, I can con- firm this now. Within fifty feet of our beds the water is standing CHRISTIAN examines a wildlife specimen en- countered near the church project. several feet deep. There will be fifty-two of us from the U.S., Ghana, Sierra Leone, U. K., Nigeria, and the Ivory Coast. We have our own little community—kitchen, supplies, sleeping quarters, latrines—all with- in a compound loaned to us by one of the village’s wealthier inhabi- tants. The dimensions of the church-to-be are roped off and the concrete blocks lie waiting. We start to work Monday. Sat., July 28, 1962 The work is progressing at a desirable rate, the few skilled labor- ers directing the unskilled mass of students. This being Saturday, we worked only from 5:30-10:30 a.m. and were then free to go to the ocean at Denn some ten miles away. I really felt in the African spirit on the lorry with the Ghanaians drum- ming and singing in dialect and the driver stopping to pick up his friends along the way [transporta- tion is very informal]. The sight of the huge expanse of beach, palms, and ocean, unmarred by umbrellas and trash was a vehicle to romanticism. Saw a group of native fishermen going to sea in a canoe with their nets. The canoes don’t seem too safe—holes plugged with anything. The men pushed off into the violent surf that threat- ened to capsize them, and then they exhibited beautifully precise pad- dling. There’s probably been very little change in their methods in the last hundred years. ‘These peo- ple build thatch huts along the beach during the fishing season and then move on, the huts being de- stroyed each rainy season. On the return trip, Denn’s own stone god was introduced to us, and we were told that the yearly sacrifice of a goat would take place on Wednes- day. It seems that their god speaks to the priest and tells him what he wants sacrificed. Wed., Aug. 1, 1962 The group took a side trip today to Ho, a government center about seventy miles away. The road was dirt and full of holes so that our average speed was less than 20 THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE m.p.h. This is the first time I’ve ever played the part of a battery, but the driver seemed to feel that with all of the available man- power, there was no sense in using up the lorry’s battery in starting. And there was plenty of opportun- ity for our pushing service—we were continually losing bolts from var- ious places and having flat tires. I really never thought we’d make it, but the sight of an ice-cream sign in Ho made it all worth-while. Pll never take refrigeration for granted again. After traveling to the site of the Volta River Dam project at Akosombo [to which the U.S. has loaned a large sum of money] we headed back for Agbozume in the dark, and by the squeaks and squeals registered, we must have run over half of the animals be- tween the two towns. Tues. Aug. 7, 1962 The “Ghanaian Times’ [party- controlled newspaper] today car- ried a picture of the Rt. Rev. Rich- ard Roseveare, Anglican Bishop of Accra, along with the headline, “This man must go.” [Bishop Rose- veare was the man behind our group’s coming to Ghana— he or- ganized the whole affair, met us at — the airport, and visited us at the work camp.| In his speech last week at Cape Coast, the Bishop voiced a resolution of the Christian Council of Ghana, in which he de- nounced the Young Pioneer group as “‘godless.’”’ The newspaper article linked the presence of this type of “white colonialist” with the “‘for- elgn-backed” plot to assassinate Nkrumah last week on Tamale by the planting of a bomb. The Minis- ter of the Interior is now calling for his deportation. In discussion tonight with some of the Ghana- ians, I learned that their view on the Young Pioneers is that it is good in that it teaches patriotism but bad in that it attributes some divine qualities to Nkrumah. Radio Gha- na today broadcast the Osagyefo’s FALL, 1962 return to Accra and played him up as the returning conqueror, de- livered from harm by Providence. Sat., Aug. 11, 1962 Our last work day in Agbozume. Little of our three-week effort will ever show—most of our man-hours have been spent in laying the foun- dation and flooring, and the visible structure is yet to be built. Most of the Americans are depressed by this, but the work will be continued as funds become available. The priest here, Father Agordekpe, ex- pects that five years will pass before the church is completed. But time in Ghana has a different meaning than that which we give to it. Life is unhurried and time is an un- limited quantity. The work camp put on a show for the town today, utilizing any talent that could be dug up, as evidenced by the fact that I was part of a singing group. Tonight we tried to evaluate the work camp in general and agreed that while the work itself was a bit discour- aging, the other benefits of living at close quarters with others from fourteen Americans here at the hospital and in the relatively short time they have been established, the village has seen its child-birth death rate drop from something around 40-50 per cent to a mere 1 per cent. The news that Bishop Roseveare was today given five hours to leave the country brought a sad end to the day. Radio Ghana reported that he was “a man whose presence in Ghana was not conducive to the public good.” As one member of group remarked, “How many groups of people can Nkrumah af- ford to offend?” * * * Our remaining ten days in Gha- na were spent hopping from one spot to another, trying to cram as much in as possible. In reflecting on the trip as a whole, I know that no other two months have ever contained so much. We learned, we became more objective, and we came to realize how much there is to know and how slightly we had scratched the surface. But Africa is real for me now—I know real people there—I have lived and talked and “. . LT know real people there.” all over the world more than made up for this. The friendships made and frank discussions entered into are evidence of our compatibility. I no longer see anything trite or empty in the statement that people everywhere have much in common. I know this now for a fact. Mon., Aug. 13, 1962 Today our group of twenty-four left Agbozume and the work camp behind and, packed into a lorry, began the ten-day trip of the North that will bring us back to Accra in time for our flight home. Our des- tination—the 120-bed Presbyterian hospital at Worawora. ‘There are socialized with them. I know, too, that the average American’s view of Africa and what it is really like are vastly different. You can read and read and you'll never really understand. The chance for college- age students to participate in the kind of experience that was mine last summer is one of the most 1m- portant opportunities open for young people today. If I sound like a crusader it’s because I’ve really got something to sell—the desire to break out of the ordinary and do something that will open your eyes and cause you to want to open the eyes of others to what’s hap- pening among people and to people in today’s world. 17 The Generals Lose a Game, But Win a Conference Title ASHINGTON AND LEE just sul- fered through its worst foot- ball season in three years. At least, that’s the attitude of some of the football experts who plot their strategy on the spinning stools down at McCrum’s. After all, the Generals did lose a game. And they were a full touch- down off the 33-point-per-game scoring pace of the undefeated 1961 team. And worse yet, they gave up an average of nearly 12 points a game, instead of the meager five they permitted in both 1961 and 1960. Actually, the 1962 season was a tremendous success for Coach Lee McLaughlin’s 48-man varsity squad. The Generals compiled an impres- sive 8-1 record for the campaign, losing only to undefeated Emory and Henry by a thrilling 38-33 score, and they captured the first football championship of the new- ly-formed College Athletic Confer- ence. It’s true that the long string of 21 games without defeat ended on a dreary afternoon deep in South- west Virginia, but the Generals now have a winning streak of six games to carry over into 1963. | The accomplishments of the 1962 CoacH MCLAUGHLIN and his son wore broad victory smiles after eight games this season. 18 THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE squad reflect a combination of sound coaching, outstanding lead- ership by the squad’s seniors, and dedicated effort by the other jun- iors and sophomores. Few teams anywhere could lose 18 senior lettermen and three oth- er monogram winners from an un- beaten squad, and then bounce back for a near-miss crack at an- other perfect year. ‘The Generals started the campaign with five of their first six 1961 guards gone, the first two centers graduated, and the incomparable leadership of quar- terback Steve Suttle no longer available. The Generals went on winning, though, because many relatively in- experienced boys “came through” for Coach Mac with the kind of ef- fort that sparkled occasionally but generally was the kind that simply got the job done well. There was junior Mike Sheffey who became a fine offensive center and teamed with junior Steve Dav- FALL, 1962 Sophomore halfback Bitu Davin goes high to deflect a Johns Hopkins’ end zone pass. enport as linebacker replacements for the missing Little All-American, Terry Fohs. There was junior guard Bill Angel, a fourth-stringer last year, who earned a starting berth. By season’s end, W&L’s traps were springing backs loose in 1960- 61 fashion, largely on the fine blocking of Angel and senior guard Mickey Walker. There was sopho- more Doug Davis who took over the punting chores. He fumbled away the first pass from center he tried to handle in the opening game, but that was his last mistake. Davis seldom kicked them far, but he got them off and kept the Gen- erals out of many a hole. Of course, there were many truly outstanding performances. Junior halfback Stuart Yoffe gained nearly 500 yards rushing at an average gain of over seven yards a carry. Senior fullback Tommy Keesee was the backfield’s workhorse, punch- ing out over 400 yards rushing, scoring a team-leading 58 points, and throwing a touchdown strike on his only pass attempt. Senior Tackle Bobby Payne, an all-State choice in 1961, led the defense and was an outstanding blocker. Junior end Johnny Madi- son gave further indication that he may be one of the finest flankmen in W&L gridiron history. For the first time since 1950, when the Generals won the South- ern Conference title, Washington and Lee laid claim to a football championship. Only four teams were competing for the College Athletic Conference title; and W&L won it by defeating Centre 38-22, Sewanee 8-0, and Southwest- ern at Memphis 22-0. Next year, the Generals will defend their CAC championship against these teams plus the rejuvenated Wash- ington (St. Louis) Bears. The Generals started the 1962 season by defeating Hampden-Syd- ney, 15-6, at Death Valley. ‘Then they continued to make life tough 19 tor former W&L centers who be- come college coaches. Bill McHen- ry, 54, brought his Flying Dutch- men from Lebanon Valley to Wil- son Field where the Generals played one of their best defensive games in grounding the visitors, 28-6. This set the stage for the clash with Emory and Henry. Neither team was expecting anything ex- cept a bruising defensive battle, but it didin’t turn out that way.

The next week, the Generals were still a little shaken by the big loss and it required a come-from- behind, fourth-quarter effort to edge alumnus Joe McCutcheon’s (51) Randolph-Macon team, 18-13. Homecoming at Wilson Field brought back many alumni to see the Generals dump Johns Hopkins 22-8, and the next Saturday a big Parents’ Weekend crowd saw _ the Generals overpower Franklin & Marshall, 55-14, in the only mis- match on the 1962 card.

On two Octob- er weekends, the Generals played home games at the same time VMI was playing in its new 7,000-seat stadium across town. On both oc- casions, a larger crowd watched W&L play Johns Hopkins and Franklin and Marshall than turned out for the Keydets’ games with Davidson and William and Mary.

Hawkins ran back the opening kickoff for a touchdown, and then added four more ‘TD’s and threw three two-point conversion passes that eventually provided the Wasp victory margin. In between Haw- kins’ first and last touchdowns, the Generals managed to squeeze in some scoring of their own, at one time holding a 33-14 lead. EXH got its winning score with less than four minutes to play. With a first down on the General one-yard line, the Wasps took four cracks at the W&L 20 ference opponents now, the Gen- erals outscored Centre 38-22 in a warm-up for the big game with Sewanee. The Tigers came into the game with wins over Centre and Southwestern and needed only to defeat the Generals to claim the league title. The game was a mud- dy, defensive standoff that went to the Generals when they capitalized on a short Sewanee punt that slith- ered out of bounds on the ‘Tiger 38. Nine plays later W&L had its 8-0 win. The season finale which brought the Generals the CAC trophy was a ward to 1963 with guarded optim- ism. The 1962 freshman team com- piled only a 2-4-1 record, but the Brigadiers played rugged football against a strong prep and military school schedule, and they should add needed backbone to the Gen- eral defense next season. Only eight seniors were on the 1962 squad, all of whom share an enviable accomplishment. In three years of varsity competition, they helped bring Washington and Lee a football record of 25 victories, one defeat, one tie—a job well done, to say the least. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE There was lots of this... Two minutes from the end. A winner’s pat on the back, a wife’s consolation. FALL, 1962 Alone ... but too much of this. with his thoughts. From THE NATIONAL OBSERVER “No Pay, No Pressure, No Hypocrisy; Five Schools Make Sports Fun Again”’ A National Newspapers Story On the New College Athletic Conference Is Reprinted for Alumni Readers N THE MIDST of the flourishing football factories of I the South and Midwest, a small band of schools stands for these athletic ideals: No pay, no pressure, no hypocrisy. They’re proving that intercollegiate sports can be an amateur pastime of fun and success- ful for all—players, fans, alumni, even faculty. ‘The group is the brand new College Athletic Con- ference. Its members are Washington and Lee Univer- sity, located here in the shadows of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia; Centre College of Danville, Kentucky; the University of the South, at Sewanee, ‘Tennessee; Southwestern of Memphis, and Washing- ton of St. Louis. Their symbol of league supremacy: An old locomotive bell donated by the Norfolk and Western Railway. Conference rules say simply: “All participation in sports by members of its teams shall be solely because of interest in and the enjoyment of the game. No financial aid shall be given to any student which is conditioned upon, or for the purpose of encouraging, his participation in intercollegiate athletics.” On the Honor System What’s more, an honor system governs the confer- ence. Each member is expected to live up to its com- mitments without any policing. This new athletic life is not due to a lack of an athletic tradition. Centre’s famed Prayin’ Colonels claimed the national collegiate football title in 1921. Sewanee’s team of 1899 won 12 games without a loss, whipping Texas, Texas A & M, Tulane, Louisiana State, and Mississippi. Southwestern won %, lost 1, tied 1 in 1938, and included Mississippi State among its 22 victims. In 1950, Washington and Lee won 8, lost , and played in the Gator Bowl. Long ago, though, each of the schools quit subsi- dizing athletics, and knuckled down to the job of turning out students. Their decision—and the new con- ference—are steps in American education’s drift to- ward higher academic standards. Putting a coat and tie on an athlete (as Washing- ton and Lee requires), and making him go to class doesn’t mean that a school is an athletic pushover. Washington and Lee’s Generals were undefeated in football the past two years. Sewanee won 5, lost 2, and tied 1 last year. Washington and Lee typifies the CAC’s spirit. There are 48 boys in this year’s football squad, and before the season’s out, every one of them will get to play. In fact, most of them will play in every game. Says Coach Lee McLaughlin, “I simply feel that it’s good for morale to get a chance to play.” Besides, he adds, ‘“Che boy who’s fresh plays better.” Spark of Leadership McLaughlin isn’t a tough coach, but he’s able to set afire a spirit that makes the team hustle. Boys run full speed from late afternoon laboratories to the practice field, unbuttoning shirts as they go, so they won't miss practice. Bobby Payne, a tackle and senior co-captain from Louisville, Kentucky, comments: “They don’t drive us until we’re ready to drop dead. We all have a good time. When football becomes a task and drudgery, it’s not football. Here we enjoy it.” THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE The school’s athletic department is under the watchful eyes of a faculty committee. Budget, sched- ules, eligibility, and personnel matters are in the com- mittee’s hands. Coach McLaughlin says that “I don’t even want the scholarship committee to know which boys I’m in- terested in.” Dr. William Hinton, chairman of the psychology department, and head of the faculty athletic commit- tee, is happy to have on campus some students who happen to be good athletes. “T like to see a few hard-nose boys around,” he says. “It adds a little flavor.” Hard-nose athletes are boys who look the part—big, burly, tough. 66 On the typical campus, perhaps 5 per cent of the male students take part in varsity athletics. At Wash- ington and Lee, it’s 33 per cent—350 of the all-male school’s 1,050 undergraduates. And under the pro- gram of purity, no sport is more important than any other. So-called minor sports—soccer, lacrosse, golf, tennis—get all the money and equipment they need. The amateurism delights athletic director Cy Twombly, the leathery, 41-year veteran of Washing- ton and Lee athletics. He says: “We don’t have to keep up with the Jones any more. It’s an entirely dif- ferent atmosphere.” | In the old days, he said, an athletic association ran the school’s intercollegiate athletics, and existed al- most entirely apart from the rest of the school. He adds: “Now we’re running our own house. The football champs of the CAC with the trophy that goes to the team with the best record in six league sports. L-r, fullback ‘TOMMY KEESEE, COACH MCLAUGHLIN, tackle BoB PAYNE. PAYNE was the winner of the Ty Rauber Memorial Award trophy giv- en to the outstanding per- former in the annual Home- coming contest FALL, 1962 Coaches and athletic people are a lot better off. If they keep their noses clean, they don’t have a thing to worry about.” President Cole’s View Washington and Lee President Fred Cole sees the CAC as giving the collegiate athlete a “fair shake” at last. This may sound peculiar in view of critics’ charges that college athletes are recruited, coddled, and ride ina educational gravy train that education can't really afford. But Dr. Cole’s point is interesting. To him, and to others in the CAC, the pressures of big-time col- legiate athletics shunt the athlete into an_ isolated corner of the campus. He spends most of his years pur- suing one thing: Athletics. Dr. Cole reasons that if he’s brought into the main-stream of campus life, and forced to live and study as any other student, his hort- zon will expand. New talents will be uncovered. CAC officials say they aren’t crusading for puriiy in college athletics. Their policy fits them fine. At the same time, Dr. Cole wryly says: “A great many schools could profit from this.” He insists that there’s no de-emphasis on athletics at all. To the contrary, the program aims at making athletics open to all. In Washington and Lee’s case, it’s worked. Dr. Cole used the word deemphasis in this sense: “If a kid is the best football player in the world but doesn’t have the grades, he’s de-emphasized out of school.” this Wayeee 24 THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE (EP 1 shot many pictures of thet wonderful 4 é. , 7% different pl Ben, lof Ose bunch of youngstens dressed allowed to play so noisely “<< - with a ball disturbing ty € ’ Maples Oley f 'n 9 lop AS acl Ne, WZ fe, \AV/ \ = to themselves e eecee® * John Oe wane ors asa ee 7: the oa . ome, saw his first football game this fall.

FALL, 1962 oe News of the University Washington and Lee’s Financial Aid To Undergraduates Shows Big Gain NDERGRADUATE financial aid at Washington and Lee has in- creased by nearly 400 per cent over an eight-year period, current figures from the University’s director of student financial aid and _ scholar- ships disclose. Dean James D. Farrar, associate dean of admissions and director of the financial aid program, says that 219 undergraduates are sharing this year in a record amount of $171,904 in aid of various kinds. In 1954-55, University financial assistance to undergraduates totaled only $44,- O70. The current number of students receiving assistance represents 18 per cent of the undergraduate en- rollment of 1,089 students. The School of Law’s aid program for its 141 students is administered sep- arately, Dean Farrar reminded. This eight-year pattern of rising financial aid to students was boost- ed in September, 1960, with the in- auguration of a scholarship pro- gram. A key feature of the three- year-old program is a loan system through which applicants for finan- cial assistance have an opportunity to borrow from the university at least a portion of the cost of their education. The loan aspect of the program is similar to loans offered under the National Defense Educa- tion Act although Washington and 26 Lee aid funds involve no federal money. Some 200 students shared in $154,119 in aid during the first year of the new program. The to- tal aid jumped to $169,g92—more than a $15,000 increase—in 1961-62. When the program was begun in 1960, university officials expres- sed the hope that the new system would make a Washington and Lee education available to all qualified high school graduates, regardless of their temporary , financial limita- tions. “This year we were able to offer assistance to all those students well qualified to assume work at Wash- ington and Lee and for whom fin- ancial aid was a necessity,’’ Dean Farrar said. In the 333-man freshman class this year, 64 new students are shar- ing $51,720 in aid. Last year, 59 freshmen received financial assis- tance. The $171,904 in total aid this year is being furnished by endowed and competitive scholarships, loans and campus jobs, Farrar said. Av- erage amount of aid to students this year is $810 in a range of $100 to 31,900. Top awards in endowed funds in- clude the George F. Baker and the Robert E. Lee scholarships. ‘These are awarded to the most highly qualified students for their full careers at Washington and Lee. In- cluding five freshmen, there are 11 Baker Scholars receiving a_ to- tal of $11,560. Current Robert E. Lee Scholars—five of whom are freshmen—total 17. They are shar- ing in $16,300 in funds. Although some awards may re- quire special qualifications as re- quested by their donors, all Wash- ington and Lee financial aid is granted on the basis of merit and need, Farrar said. Each semester, a review of the recipient’s record and need is made, and renewal is based on the quality of work and current need. Special assistance from the Rob- ert E. Lee Research Fund is not in- cluded in this year’s total under- graduate financial aid, Farrar point- ed out. m LT. COL. JACK P. BURCH has been named new head of Washington and Lee’s military science depart- ment. The career Army officer assumed his duties as head of the university’s ROTC program in mid-November. He came to Washington and Lee from a one-year tour as resident en- gineer in the Far East District, Corps of Engineers, in Korea. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Executive officer of the ROTC installation at the University of Oklahoma from 1950 to 1953, Col- onel Burch succeeds Maj. Edward J.

Moller served as commanding ofhcer of Washing- ton and Lee’s 337 ROTC cadets un- til Colonel Burch’s arrival. Colonel Burch, 44, is a native of Columbus, Ohio, who received his bachelor of science degree in en- gineering from Ohio State Univer- sity in 1940. He is a 1954 graduate of the Army’s Command and Gen- eral Staff College at Fort Leaven- worth, Kans., and a member of ‘Tau Beta Pi, honorary engineering fra- ternity. A member of the American Society of Military Engineers, he is married and has a son, Douglas M. Burch, who is a junior engineering major at Virginia Polytechnic In- stitute in Blacksburg.

Student body officers and some 300 other Washington and Lee students attended the impressive ceremony on the VMI parade ground. In response, the Wash- ington and Lee student body invited the cadet corps to be its guests at the W&L-Sewanee football game. Because of bad weather and other factors, relatively few cadets attended the game, but the gesture was greatly appreciated by the corps. It all points up a very happy relationship existing now between the two schools and among the students and faculties. Presi- dent Cole and Maj. Gen. George R. E. Shell are good friends, and the attitudes of everyone at the both schools reflect this cordial relationship of friendship and mutual respect. Printed at right is an article by Dr. Allan Carlsson, registrar at VMI and assistant to the Dean of the Faculty, which appeared recently in the bulletin of the University Center in Virginia, an organization promoting cooperative ventures among virtually all Virginia colleges and universities. Washington and Lee alumni will take pride in the harmony and good will that extends all along Letcher Avenue and Jefferson Street.) FALL, 1962 HE PROXIMITY of the two cam- i puses and the excellent rela- tions between their faculties and administrations have made coop- eration possible between the Vir- ginia Military Institute and Wash- ington and Lee University. Al- though the two colleges are very distinctive as institutions of higher learning, it has been to the advan- tage of each school to cooperate in various areas. In May, 1961, at the inauguration of Major General George R. E. Shell as Superintend- ent of VMI, Dr. Fred C. Cole, Pres- ident of W&L, spoke of the coop- eration in this manner: The Virginia Military Insti- tute and Washington and Lee University have been neighbors in Lexington and associates in higher education for 122 years. In the beginning of this long as- sociation, authorities at both in- stitutions foresaw a future of close cooperation and develop- ment for the two schools. This vision of a working companion- ship on many levels has been achieved through personal and academic relationships; yet, each institution has utilized its own special talents and facilities to achieve distinction in education. Lexington is one of a very few educational centers in America where there is such a clear dem- onstration of what is often point- ed to as one of the strengths or virtues of American higher edu- cation. I refer to the diversity of the educational institutions themselves. There is no set, pre- scribed pattern or physical framework for achieving learn- ing, and the pursuit of excellence traditionally has followed many paths...It is my earnest wish that we shall cooperate wherever possible and continue to be neighbors of the best sort. There are four major areas of this “working companionship”: course offerings, the facilities, the 33 libraries, and equipment. A joint program in elementary and _ inter- mediate Russian is offered at the present time. ‘wo professors, one from each of the faculties, alter- nate in teaching the two courses. While this is the only joint offering at present, the students and cadets are free to enroll by payment of a fee in any course at the neighbor- ing institution, for which they are qualified, if the course is not of- fered at their school. Cadets have enrolled at W&L in such courses as Greek, accounting, and journalism, while W&L students have enrolled at VMI in several advanced science courses. Everyone 1s welcome to the lectures of the visiting scholars from the University Center as well as to attend other lectures and sem- inars. As the need has arisen, each school has employed faculty mem- bers of the other school on a part- time basis. At present, (1961-62) VMI professors are teaching classes in philosophy, literature, and Latin at W&L. In the recent past VMI has used W&L faculty members to teach such courses at fine arts and psy- chology. The cooperative use of fac- ulty has generally been in the area of the liberal arts. Most individuals become aware of the cooperation between VMI and W&L through the use of the libraries. For approximately the last fifteen years, both libraries have made a duplicate author’s card for each acquisition (except in such special cases as W&L’s law library) to be filed in the card in- dex of the other school. Students and faculty have stack and check- out privileges in both libraries. Some infrequently consulted refer- ence works are purchased by only one of the libraries when a single copy will be sufficient for both schools. Because W&L microfilms The New York Times, VMI does not retain a complete file of this newspaper. VMI and W&L also share the use of some items of equipment. For instance, the W&L astronomy clas- ses use the VMI planetarium, and the observatory now under con- struction at W&L will be available to VMI astronomy classes. VMI’s only football game in Lexington last season (1961) was played on W&L’s Wilson Field. In addition to these four major areas of cooperation between VMI and W&L, the faculties have also cooperated in community projects such at the Rockbridge Concert- Theatre Series, the annual Rock- bridge Art Exhibit, and fund rais- ing drives for charity. It may also be mentioned that in the past few years over 20 graduates of VMI have attended W&L’s law school. One instructor from VMI earned a law degree at W&L and continues to teach at VMI as well as in W&L’s law school. VMI and W&L each sets its own course in the pursuit of excellence in higher education. At times, how- ever, this goal is more readily ob- tained through cooperative efforts. ©0000 HOHHHHHHHHHHHHHOHHHHHOHHHHHHH8HHHHHHOHHHHHHHHHOHHHOFHFTHHH8HO8O0O06808OHHO9O9HO8OOOHOO8 PLAN NOW TO ATTEND!

Students spend more time in other buildings on the campus, but the hours spent in Lee Chapel are memorable ones. ‘They are associ- ated with a student’s coming to Washington and Lee—the orienta- tion lectures and other freshman assemblies; and they are associated with his leaving—the quiet dignity of the baccalaureate or commence- ment ceremony which all graduates remember. And, always, there is the affinity which each alumnus feels for Lee Chapel because this small, simple building symbolizes those qualities of honor and gentlemanly conduct which are as fundamental to the Washington and Lee man as are the bricks and hand-forged nails which help shape the Chapel. The work toward restoring and preserving Lee Chapel is now well FALL, 1962 underway. One step to assure the permanence of the Chapel involved replacing the wooden beams and trusses of the roof with steel. Many of the spikes and nails which were used in the original construction are unsuitable for re-use, and a large number of these historic items have been collected and saved. It was recognized immediately that many persons would lke to have a nail from Lee Chapel as a nearly century-old memento of the University’s past. And it was ac- knowledged at once that no one likely would be more interested in acquiring such a nail than would an alumnus. ‘The University proceeded to give to the Alumni Association the ac- cumulation of nails, to be distrib- uted among alumni by whatever means decided upon by the Asso- ciation’s officers. Some kind of co- ordination with the Alumni Fund was an obvious possibility. In examining the Lee Chapel nails, it is easy to draw an analogy between the sturdy iron pegs whch helped support and continue to support Lee Chapel and the solid, dependable and loyal alumni whose annual contributions to the Alum- ni Fund support the University in such an important way. The sizes Of the nails and spikes vary, just as the sizes of the annual gifts from alumni vary, but all are sig- nificant in themselves and all con- tribute to an important end _ re- sult. There are not enough of the Lee Chapel nails available to send one to every alumnus. The criteria 35 for distribution will be a matter for decision at the next Alumni Fund Council meeting. It seems likely that the nails can play an import- ant part in furthering two vital as- pects of the 1962-63 Fund Cam- paign. One vital necessity for the suc- cess of the Fund this year is the broadening of the base of giving: that is, getting more and more alumni to participate as contrib- utors. ‘The Fund Council has set its sights high: 100 per cent par- ticipation from the University’s 11,000 alumni. Another vital factor for success is the need for all regular contrib- utors to “raise their sights” in 1962- 63: that is, increase the amount of their gifts in accordance with their means. ‘This alone would assure the attainment of the goal of $115,000 sought this year. It follows, then, that perhaps the nails might be given to those alum- ni who participate in the Alumni Fund for the first time during 1962- 63, as well as to all regular givers, with special appreciation to those whose contributions to the 1962-68 Fund show increases over their gifts in 1961-62. ‘The Alumni Secretary is currently investigating economi- cal but attractive ways by which the nails might be mounted as keep- sakes for Alumni Fund contribu- tors. The next issue of the Alumni Magazine will carry a full report on how this will be done. In the meantime, won’t you con- sider the importance of your gift to the Alumni Fund? ‘Together, thousands of strong, single nails have given shape and form to Lee Chapel for nearly a century. To- gether, the thousands of thoughtful individual gifts from alumni _ rep- resent for your University the in- come on several millions of dollars, and help give substance and di- rection to its course today and in the future.

NCREASING NUMBERS of American I companies are joining in a rela- tively new aid-to-education plan that is directly related to the sup- port which their employees give to higher education as alumni of the nation’s colleges and univer- sities. ‘The format is basically a ‘“‘match- ing gift” plan. Individual compan- ies may vary in the operating de- tails of their programs, but all are essentially alike in that they match—usually dollar for dollar— the contributions of an alumnus- employee to his college or univer- sity. As of August 15, 1962, the Am- erican Alumni Council reported that 186 companies are currently conducting “matching gift” pro- grams. ‘The Council pointed out that the number of participating companies is steadily increasing, so there is the likelihood that the list printed in this issue has grown since August. The Travelers Insurance Companies began a matching gift program as of October 1, to cite one example. During recent years, Washington and Lee has shared in the benefits of the maching gifts plans of vari- ous companies who employ Wash- ington and Lee men. Alumni have found the matching gift of their employer tantamount to doubling their contribution to the annual Alumni Fund. In the Alumni Fund records, the alumnus is credited with both his contribution and his company’s. If the company you work for is listed, be sure to notify your em- ployer when you make your annual or capital gift to Washington and Lee. Your employer probably has a simple short form available to speed the process. It’s as simple as two plus two equals four. If the company you work for is not listed, please check with the proper person in your organization who might be influential in getting such a program started. Show him this article and the list of firms who do have one. In this case, you would be helping not only Washington and Lee but all colleges and univer- sities as well. Frequently a company wants to help support higher edu- cation but has not yet decided how to get started. ‘The matching gift approach may be an answer.
