WINFREE, 1935, President CLARK B. WINTER, 1937 Tue Cover: Symbolic of the Decade in Review are the two figures, one looking back at the fine record made, the other looking forward to the next de- cade of progress. 1950-1960 O AN INSTITUTION with a two hundred and eleven- Loe history, a single decade is but a minute part of the whole. But the ten years just past were something spe- cial...something noteworthy ...and altogether, one of the most significant decades in its existence. Such a decade calls for a review on these pages. During the 1950's, the face of Washington and Lee was changing. As at other American colleges and universities, stepped-up emphasis on education and the proper facilities brought about new buildings, new equipment, new methods of teaching. The changing face at Washington and Lee also involved men of ded- icated service, who stepped down to make way for new leaders. Growth and progress were noted in the University’s expanding national stature as an educational institu- tion, in improvement of salaries for faculty and also of scholarships for students, and in its comprehensive planning for the future. And last but hardly least, its resources were increased substantially through gener- ous support from alumni, parents, friends, founda- tions, and industries. FAMILIAR FACES GONE After heading the University for twenty-nine years, Dr. Francis P. Gaines retired, and a new president, Dr. Fred Carrington Cole, took over in September, 1959. Dr. Leon F. Sensabaugh was named Dean of the Uni- versity in 1955, succeeding Dr. James G. Leyburn, who had held the job since 1947, and who wanted to go back to teaching. “Captain Dick” Smith, athletic di- rector since 1923, retired in 1955; for twenty-nine years he was also coach of the Generals’ baseball team. In 1958, one of the University’s most beloved figures, alumni secretary Harry K. “Cy” Young, retired after twenty-nine years of service, to be succeeded by Wil- liam C. Washburn, ’40. The Grim Reaper also removed a dozen of Wash- ington and Lee’s well-known individuals. They were: Dr. Henry Louis Smith, in 1951, president from 1912- 29; John Higgins Williams, ’24, in 1954, for twenty- six years a political science teacher; Thomas E. Loth- —the decade in review ery, Jr., in 1954, professor of physics for sixteen years; Dr. George Hutcheson Denny in 1955, president, 1901- 11; Dr. Glover D. Hancock in 1955, dean of the school of commerce and administration, 1919-49; Dr. James Lewis Howe, in 1955 at the age of 96, professor of chemistry from 1894 until 1938; Dr. Livingston W. Smith, ’96, in 1956, head of the math department from 1906-47; Dr. Marcellus H. Stow, in 1957, for thirty years a geology professor and department head; Dr. Merton O. Phillips in 1958, professor of economics for thirty years; Dr. Walter A. Flick, “24, in 1958, thirty- One of the most significant changes in the decade was the succession of DR. FRED CAR- INGTON Co LE, left, to Dr. FRANcIs P. GAINes as president of Washington and Lee. Dr. Gatnes has been named Chancellor of the University. The inauguration of DR. COLE as thirteenth president will take place on May 7, 1960, in ceremonies on the front campus. WINTER 1960 four years as teacher, and head of the department of education and psychology; Dr. Henry V. Shelley in 1959, thirty-two years as professor of ancient languages; and Dr. George H. Foster, 34, in 1959, professor of English for twelve years, and head of the department of comparative literature. CAMPUS CHANGES Changes came to the campus through the addition of new buildings. In 1955, Jessie Ball duPont Hall, a much-needed classroom building with a special Fine Arts wing, was placed in service. In 1959, the University completed a $1,500,000 construction project which includ- ed Letitia Pate Evans Dining Hall, John W. Davis Dormitory for law students, Newton D. Baker Dormi- tory for upperclassmen, and a new supply store and snack bar. Throughout the decade, student enrollment was maintained at the 1,000-1,100 level, although applica- tions for admission showed steady increases each year. No significant increase in future enrollment is now anticipated by officials. GENEROUS SUPPORT During the ten-year _ period, Washington and Lee drew support from alumni, parents, industry, and friends. The annual Alumni Fund went from $28,610 in 1950 to a record high of $113,681 in the year 1958. The newly-established Par- ents’ Fund reached $111,839 in its first three years of operation. The University built up its en- dowment from $5,452,670 to $14,- 822,000 during the.decade. The school was among many American colleges whose faculty salary level was helped by the Ford Foundation’s large grants in 1955. Various other foun- dations, many established by American business and industry, aided Washington and Lee during the 1950's, and the University has received continuing and _ in- creasing annual support from the gifts of Virginia busi- ness and industry to the Virginia Foundation for In- dependent Colleges, organized in 1953. Large bene- factions have also come from individuals. One of the largest single gifts, from an anonymous donor, founded the Robert E. Lee Scholarships for exceptionally quali- fied young men. Scholarship aid to students rose significantly. In the 1949-50 session, aid to students totaled $52,530. In 1959, undergraduates shared in $155,115 of assist- ance, most of it from endowed and University-adminis- tered scholarships. Next year, the college will use the first funds of a three-year $50,000 grant from the George F. Baker Trust of New York, further enrich- ing its scholarship program. MERIT RECOGNIZED Progress as an educational institution was reflected in a nationwide survey among educators conducted by the Chicago Tribune in 1957, which listed Wash- ington and Lee as one of the “ten best’’ men’s colleges in America—a listing arrived at only after multiple studies in depth, and the compilation of the evalua- tions of higher education’s most informed men.

THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE This picture of faculty and staff members with twenty-five or more years of service to the University was taken in February, 1958. Since it appeared in the Alumni Magazine, three of the number have died, three are retired, and one has announced his retirement in June. These dedicated and loyal men gave more than 864 years of their lives in service to Washington and Lee University. NON INCAUTUS FUTURI Concern for the future of the institution, the areas of its needs and direction of its growth culminated in 1953, when Washington and Lee undertook a com- prehensive development program. A thorough self- study was made, and the University’s short- and long- range needs were defined, priorities were established and ways of achieving its goals were recommended. Part of this program is now underway in the $2,000,000 campaign to raise funds for new facilities in science and journalism. Now in its second year, the fund is rapidly approaching its goal. Preliminary plans call for new buildings for geology-biology and physics, additions to existing chemistry facilities, renovation of the existing psysics building for journalism and _ pre- engineering, plus a new maintenance center. DECADE’S HIGHLIGHTS There were other significant events during the 1950's. Among them were: Establishment in 1951, during Korean War years, of a United States Army Reserve Officers Training Corps program. A change in the athletic program from one of sub- sidization to non-subsidization in 1954, just three years after Washington and Lee’s football team played in the ’Gator Bowl on January 1, 1951, In abandoning so-called “big-time” athletics, Washington and Lee sought to establish a more harmonious relationship be- WINTER 1960 tween intercollegiate sports and its academic aspira- tions. The enrichment of McCormick Library’s holdings, through a grant of $25,000 in 1958 from General Foods Corporation. The semester-long visit in 1958 of famed British historian Arnold J. Toynbee as a visiting scholar-in- residence, and his series of fifteen public lectures in Lee Chapel. The national honors, officers, fellowships, and grants bestowed upon faculty members by foundations, learned societies, and various levels of government; the competitive scholarships and fellowships won by stu- dents for advanced study in this country and abroad, including two Rhodes scholarships. NOW, FOR THE NEXT ONE... With the advent of the 1960’s, Washington and Lee is facing with other colleges the growing problems of enrollment pressures, the shorter supply of qualified teachers, ways to increase faculty salaries, avenues to more scholarship assistance for worthy students, and the tricky problem of obtaining the facilities necessary for keeping pace with modern-day education. With a proud glance behind at the goals already at- tained, Washington and Lee moves on to a new dec- ade, with implicit faith in the future, and in those who love the University, toward its aim of a more com- plete liberal arts education for the nation’s young men. Student Politicians Hustling for Democratic Mock Convention THE TWELFTH quadrennial mock ‘| political convention will be held by students of Washington and Lee on May g and 3. Tradi- tionally held for the party out of power, this year’s Democratic con- vention promises to be a lively one, with the usual cigar-smoking stu- dent politicians meeting in dark rooms to plan their grand strategy. Since early fall, undergraduates and law students have been busy formulating plans, organizing state and territorial delegations, and at- tending to the many details con- nected with staging the convention. Mock conventions began at Washington and Lee in 1908, and have been held every four years since, with the exception of 1920 and 1944. In eleven previous conventions, students have correctly nominated seven presidential candidates—Wil- liam Jennings Bryan (1908), Char- les Evans Hughes (1916), John W. Davis, ’92, (1924), Al Smith (1928), Franklin D. Roosevelt (1932), Dwight D. Eisenhower (1952) and Adlai E. Stevenson (1956). One of the distinguished guests at the 1960 Mock Convention, al- Scene from 1956 Mock Convention though far removed from the polli- tical scene, will be Miss America of 1960, Miss Lynda Lee Mead of Natchez, Mississippi. She will ride on one of the floats during the con- vention parade down Lexington’s Main street, and will participate in other activities, as guest of the New Jersey student delegation. This is the second consecutive convention brightened by a Miss America—the Democratic convention of 1956 had Miss America of 1956 on hand. The Steering Committee of the convention here has _ recently named fifty-four state and territor- ial delegation chairmen. ‘These stu- dents are busy feeling out the poli- tical climate in their respective states, in order to cast an authentic vote at the convention. Activities for the convention as planned at this stage call for the parade, featuring floats, bands and displays by the various state delega- tions, to be held at g p.m. on Mon- day, May eg. The convention it- self will get underway at 4 p.m. with the keynote address. Nomina- tions of candidates and _ balloting will follow, to be concluded Tues- day, May 3. Arrangements for a_ keynote speaker have not yet been com- pleted by students, but Charles L. McCormick, III, convention chair- man, said that a nationally known figure had been invited. Keynoters for the past two Mock Conventions have been Republican Senator Frank Carlson of Kansas in 1952, and the late Alben W. Barkley in 1956. Senator Barkley collapsed and died while delivering the keynote address here in 1956. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Officers and dates of the 1960 Fancy Dress Ball ranged in costume from city slickers to Chinese mandarins. niverdity =] lews @ THE NEW BOOK by Dr. William A. Jenks, ’39, was published January 22, 1960, by the Columbia Univer- sity Press. ‘The 252-page volume by the pro- fessor of history is entitled “Vienna and the Young Hitler,” describing the influences and ideas which were most effective in forming Hitler’s idealogy during his stay in Vienna. The author held a Fulbright Re- search Grant to Austria in 1955, during which time he gathered the material for his book. Last spring, he became the first Washington and Lee professor to draw benefits from a special publications fund set up by the University with John M. Glenn funds. Dr. Jenks is also the author of “The Austrian Electoral Reform of 1907.” B® DR. L. LOMAS BARRETT, professor of Romance languages, has been named Coordinator for Spanish and Portuguese in Virginia under the National Defense Education Act, designed to improve the teach- ing of science, mathematics, and WINTER 1960 foreign languages in the United States. He will serve as state consult- ant for the two languages, assist- ing in the formation and execution of Virginia’s plan for participation in funds provided by Congress to state boards of education. m™ PROMOTIONS FOR three members of the faculty have been announc- ed, effective September 1, 1960. Named to be associate professors were Dr. Lloyd J. Lanich, assistant professor of Fine Arts; Robert Stewart, assistant professor of Fine Arts; and Robert E. R. Huntley, assistant professor of law. Lanich, ’44, is a B.A. graduate of Washington and Lee, and received his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Yale University. He first joined the faculty in 1948, resigned in 1951 to undertake new graduate study at Yale, and returned to Washington and Lee in 1955. He is producer and director of the ‘Troubadour ‘Theater.

He is married, and the father of a son, Arthur, 53, and a daughter Ellen. mw A NEW SCHOLARSHIP for upper- classmen will be established from a $50,000 bequest to Washington and Lee from the late Mrs. Samuel Jor- dan Graham. The academic award, to be known, as “The Judge and Mrs. Samuel Jordan Graham _ Scholar- ship.” will go to outstanding stu- dents in political science, law, or pre-medical studies. According to Mrs. Graham’s will, the scholarship honors the memory of her husband, a native of Lex- ington, an alumnus of the class of 1876, and a former judge of the U.S. Court of Claims. Mrs. Graham died last December 5 in a Takoma Park, Maryland, hospital. Washington and Lee also re- ceived a $3,500 bequest from Mrs. Graham. The income from this gift will be used to maintain the grave of William Graham, first president of Washington College. The grave is near Lee Chapel. AGAIN DURING the winter term, Washington and Lee brought in a variety of speakers who addressed student groups on diversified sub- jects. Among them were: Ben A. Thirkield, °36, Department of State press officer, who spoke on “Information Functions of the Federal Government”; Dr. Alpheus Thomas Mason, McCormick profes- sor of jurisprudence at Princeton University, and an authority on the United States Supreme Court, who spoke on “The Supreme Court: Temple or Forum”; Miss Enid Starkie, visiting professor at Hol- lins College and an authority on French literature, who conducted the second Seminar in Literature with, “Influence of French Litera- ature on Yeats and Eliot”; Also, Walter S. Robertson, Far Eastern expert serving as a United States delegate to the United Na- tions, who was the Omicron Delta Kappa “tap day” speaker; and Dr. Raymond C. Moore, president of the American Geological Institute, and nationally-known expert in petrology, geology, and _ paleontol- ogy, who spoke on the geology of the Grand Canyon and the Colo- rado plateau, and of his work with fossils. Paul G. Hoffman, managing d1- rector of the United Nations Spe- cial Fund, and former head of the Economics Cooperation Adminis- tration, spoke on “Interdepen- dence: Fact and Opportunity,” at the sixth annual International Re- lations Week, February 9-11. Other speakers were Dr. George J. Stol- nitz, professor of economics at In- diana University, and Lt. Col. A. A. Jordan, Jr., professor of social sciences at the United States Muili- tary Academy. Robert F. Hurleigh, president of the Mutual Broadcasting Com- pany, was speaker here at a radio news seminar on February 20. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE ® PRETTY HOLLINS junior Kitty Par- sons missed her big moment this year at Fancy Dress Ball. Her steady date for three years, David K. Weaver of Pelham, New York, was president of the Ball, and that meant Kitty was to reign as queen. But fate threw her a curve, and set Hollins examina- tions during that time. Kitty had one on Saturday morning after the Ball, so she had to be denied her moment of glory at the dance. The Hollins exam schedule, de- nounced here in no- uncertain terms, had an impact on costume rentals for the ball. Many Wash- ington and Lee students, enamor- ed of Hollins girls, were faithful in their fashion, which meant they declined to put up an $18 rental fee to take substitute dates. But the president of Fancy Dress just has to have a date, and Dave Weaver solved his dilemma in a manner that no one, not even his girl friend, could fault. Leading the figure at the ball with him was someone pretty spe- cial, a lovely young lady from his home town, whose name was Nancy Weaver. After all, what kid sister wouldn't help her brother out of a jam? Fancy Dress vice-presidents all chose dates from Randolph-Macon Woman’s College. It may have turned out that way, Hollins exams or not, but a one-college sweep of the cherished figure roles has nev- er happened before. Theme of the fifty-first annual Fancy Dress was “The Evolution of Man,” with costumes drawn from eight colorful periods of his- tory: the Ming dynasty of China, ancient Greece and Rome, medie- val Europe, Renaissance Europe, the era of Louis XIV of France, the American Gay Nineties and Roar- ing Twenties, and the space-age future. However, because of an ap- WINTER 1960 Dave WeEaAveER, right, president of Fancy Dress, was almost the first president with- out a date for the Ball. His sister, left, a Mary Washington freshman, was his date, after his steady Hollins girl had exams. parent over-supply of some gar- ments in the stocks of the profes- sional agency supplying the _ cos- tumes, the Confederate Army and the Old South played a larger role in the “Evolution of Man” than most historians would be willing to admit. Playing for the ball this year was Lester Lanin and his orchestra on Friday night, and Lionel Hampton and his orchestra on Saturday. THE FACULTY HAS approved a non- voting role on the school’s adminis- trative committee for a represen- tative of the student body execu- tive committee. The administrative committee, which includes the university presi- dent, the four deans and three fac- ulty members, is charged with handling all matters of student discipline. Named to the post by the student group was William H. Abeloff, senior law student from Richmond. Abeloff, who has spent six years on the Washington and Lee campus earning bachelor and law degrees, is also student body vice-president. Dean Leon F. Sensabaugh said student participation in committee meetings will afford student repre- sentation in an area of direct con- cern to them. He said the move was in line with the university’s policy of giving students important roles in as many phases of university ad- ministration as possible. WASHINGTON AND LEE has been named with 600 other American privately-operated colleges and universities to share in the Gulf Oil Corporations’ aid to educa- cation program this year. The Gulf company said it was seeking to help many colleges with “modest amounts,’ rather than make large grants to a small number of schools. Individual gifts were determined | by a formula based on current ex- penditures per student for educa- tional purposes, and the percentage of alumni contributing to the col- WILLIAM H. ABELOFF named to the Administrative Committee 9 lege. Washington and Lee, which ranks relatively high in both re- spects, received $509 in Gulf funds. THE UNIVERSITY has been selected by the Texaco, Inc., aid-to-educa- tion program to receive an unre- stricted grant of $1,500 for the 1959-60 academic year. The money will be used to improve faculty sal- aries. Washington and Lee is one of 140 privately financed American colleges and universities receiving direct grants from the Texaco cor- poration. Texaco also provides scholarship and fellowship assist- ance for approximately 300 stu- dents at more than 80 private and tax-supported institutions. The 1959-60 grant is the fourth such gift received from ‘Texaco. THE SHELL COMPANIES Founda- tion has selected Washington and Lee to participate in its program of “Shell Assists” to American educa- tion. The University will receive $1,500 for use during 1960. Under terms of the grant, one- third of the sum is for unrestricted use, one-third for use by the chief faculty administrative officer to help encourage further professional development among faculty mem- bers, and one-third for faculty pro- fessional development in the de- partments of engineering, mathe- matics, and the physical sciences. ™ WHEN THE GAINES GUARD drill team appeared in_ Lexington’s Christmas parade on December 5, 1959, 1t marked the eighth anni- versary of the formation of the crack marching unit. For most of the alumni, the idea of a University drill team still seems remote, for although the school bears the name of famous genenals, it is essentially a non- military institution. 10 But the Gaines Guard is defi- nitely a part of the college tradi- tion, honoring with its name the retired president, Dr. Francis P. Gaines. It was an outgrowth of the installation of a Reserve Officers’ Training Corps program in 1951 at the height of the Korean War. The idea originated with Norman Dobyns, °54. Organization was completed in time for the unit to march in the annual Lexington Christmas parade. Since then, interest and partici- pation in the Guard has grown. In 1954, it formed one of two honor guards at the inauguration of Gov- ernor Thomas B. Stanley in Rich- mond. It was invited to march in the Presidential Inaugural Pa- rade in Washington in 1956. The team spends three hours per week of close-order drill, and members wear a distinctive uniform, which this year includes white helmet liners, shoulder cords, web waist- belts, gloves, and web slings on their Springfield drill rifles. ROSS MALONE, °32, former presi- ident of the American Bar Asso- ciation, will deliver the ‘Tucker Law Lectures here on April 15, 16. He has chosen as his subject, “The Lawyer and His Professional Re- sponsibilities,’ and will speak both Friday and Saturday. Law Day will be observed on April 16, for the first time at Washington and Lee Law School. Edward S. Graves, ’30 of Lynch- burg, Virginia, is Law Day chair- man this year. PROFESSOR CLAYTON E. WILLIAMS, retiring dean, teach on the law faculty, President Fred C. Cole has announced. Dean Williams will hold the special title of “distinguished lec- turer in the law of property,” and will continue to JON BiyTHE MCLIN, a senior from Earle, Arkansas, is the University’s second Rhodes Scholar in six years. Representing the Gulf States, he will study physics for the next two years at Oxford University. ROBERT O. PAXTON of Lexington was chosen a Rhodes Scholar in 1954. will conduct the regular classes he has taught at Washington and Lee since 1919. He will be succeeded as dean next year by Prof. Charles P. Light, Jr., who has served on Dean Wil- liams’ faculty since 1926. “We are indeed fortunate that Dean Williams has consented to remain as an active member of the law faculty,” President Cole said. “I know his students are de- lighted with the prospect.” WILLIAM H. ABELOFF, senior law student from Richmond, is editor- in-chief of the Washington and Lee Law Review for second semester. He succeeded Frank C. Bozeman, law senior from Warrington, Flori- da. Bill, a 25-year-old honor student, served as an associate editor last semester. He is a 1957 graduate of Washington and Lee and holds a first lieutenant’s commission in the U.S. Army Reserve. He is vice-president of the stu- dent body, vice-president of the Student Bar Association, a former THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE editor of the Washington and Lee yearbook, and a member of Omi- cron Delta Kappa. Abeloff is mar- ried and the father of a six-months old son. = AN UNDEFEATED Swimming team, a winning wrestling season, and a break-even mark in_ basketball were in prospect at Washington and Lee as the winter sports sched- ule entered their final weeks. Unbeaten in six meets, Coach Cy ‘'wombly’s swimmers need only victories over William and Mary and the Norfolk Division of Wil- liam and Mary to give Washington and Lee its first unblemished dual meet record since the late 1930's. Coach Twombly went five straight years without a loss in pre-war competition. Top individual standout is a sophomore _ breast-stroker, Elliott Maynard from Portland, Maine. Last year, Maynard set a new school 200-yd. butterfly mark, and _ this season he added the 200-yd. breast-stroke to his title list. Against Wake Forest, he covered the dis- tance in 2:19.4, a full five seconds better than the old standard. The 400-yd. medley relay team, composed of Maynard, Pete Weim- er, Skip Rohnke, and Gene Pur- nell, took almost three seconds oft the school record in that event. In their six wins, the General mermen have not been pressed, al- though West Virginia won more first places. Besides the Mountain- eers and Deacons, Washington and Lee has beaten Roanoke College, American University, Catholic Uni- versity, and Virginia. In wrestling, Coach Dick Miller’s youngsters are 4-2 for the season and stand a good chance of sweep- ing their remaining three matches. Getting good service from some talented freshmen, the Generals have posted wins over North Car- WINTER 1960 Three important basketball figures on the 1960 Generals’ team: left to right, coach J.

FRANK SURFACE, JR. and MALCOLM LASSMAN. olina, Duke, New York University, and Gallaudet, while losing to per- ennially strong Franklin and Mar- shall and defending Southern Con- ference champion West Virginia. Junior Drew Danko at 177 and sophomore Danny Dyer at 137 have 4-1 records to set the pace in in- dividual performances. Among the classy freshmen on the varsity are 123-pounder Dave Montgomery, 130-pounder Bill Spencer-Strong, and 157-pounder Dick Albert. Matches remain with Wake Forest, Hampden-Sydney, and Vir- ginia. Having adjusted their schedule along more realistic lines, the Generals are moving toward a .500 mark in basketball, a marked improvement over last year’s 1-15 record against Southern Conference competition. With three games to go, Coach Bob McHenry’s team has posted a 7-8 record against competition made up largely of Virginia’s “Lit- tle Eight” and Mason-Dixon Con- ference teams. All the Generals’ triumphs have come at home, and if they are to get that break-even season, wins are needed in at least two of the three remaining road contests. One of the games left is with old rival Virginia, and although the Cava- liers are the patsies of the Atlantic Coast Conference, they are expect- ed to prove too much for Washing- ton and Lee. Mal Lassman, a clever senior (Continued on page 17) 11 Classes of ’10, ’20, °35, and ’50 Will Reunite Here in May T’S THAT TIME again! Time to I talk about all the fun of the Washington and Lee class reunions, the renewal of old friendships, and a return visit to the familiar old Washington and Lee campus. The reunions this year have been set for Friday til Sunday, May 20- 22, and a good program is being planned. There will be a new feature this year at the 60 Reunion. In addi- tion to the fiftieth, fortieth, and twenty-fifth anniversary classes, the gathering will also include men of the tenth anniversary class. The high interest shown, and the many requests for a reunion from alumni of this era have indicated that this reunion is strongly desired and will be well-attended. The Alumni Board of Trustees has approved the inclusion of this first convocation for the class of 1950. It was just five years ago, in 1955, that the custom of the spring reun- ions was begun. It followed on the heels of two highly successful gen- eral reunions, in the Bicentennial year of 1949, and again in 1954. At first, only the twenty-fifth and fiftieth year classes came back. In 1957, the fortieth year class was added. Now in 1960, another class is being included, to make the re- union even larger, more interesting, and more representative of all seg- ments of alumni. Alumni and their wives of the law and academic classes of 1910, 1920, 1935, and 1950 will be guests of the University for this reunion, following the established practice. 12 They will be housed in hotels and nearby motels. The tentative program is set up like this: first item, registration, to be held on Friday, May 20. A smoker will follow that night. In- cluded among the other events, but without a time schedule as yet, are: discussions by college officials on the State of the University, class banquets, a golf tournament, and programs and side trips for the ladies. Conclusion of the reunion will be a service in Lee Chapel on Sunday. The program will be de- signed for enjoyment and inspira- tion, irrespective of the class. University students will be hav- ing final examinations at that time, so, other than the Reunion excite- ment, the campus will be fairly quiet. Each member of the four anni- versary classes will receive further details through the mail in the coming months. But meanwhile, you men of ’10, 20, °35, and ’50, circle in red the dates of May 20-22 on your calen- dar, and make your plans NOW to come back for Reunion time!

Of this amount $1,400,000 has been designated for new phys- ics, geology, biology, pre-engineer- ing and journalism facilities to- ward the goal of $2,000,000 for these buildings. Approximately $500,000 has been donated to the University’s endowment, the in- come to be used chiefly for scholar- ships and faculty salaries. Since the drive for capital funds began in July 1958 gifts have been received from approximately 4,000 alumni, parents, and friends of the University from all over the coun- try. Campaigns involving intensive solicitation were planned for 44 dif- ferent geographical areas which had a concentration of 100 or more alumni, friends, and parents. Of these 44 areas 31 have been completed or are now in the active solicitation stage. The 13 remain- ing areas where campaigns will be conducted in the following months include Long Island with Clark B. Winter, ’37 as chairman; and West- chester-Connecticut with Albert W.

Two exhibits of paintings are hung in the lounges of Evans Din- ing Hall, right on the beaten path of the students who eat three meals daily there. Professor Marion M. Junkin, pro- fessor of Fine Arts, calls the exhibit an experimental “living with art” for students. He said experience has taught him that relatively few students will go out of their way to view paintings, but most show an inter- est in art if it is placed within easy reach. Idea for the Evans Hall exhibits originated with president Fred C. Cole. Dr. Cole, noting the display possibilities of the lounge walls, suggested that rotating art exhibits there would make a new contribu- tion to the liberal arts education of Washington and Lee students. Professor Junkin gave his enthu- Silastic support to the plan and pro- ceeded to borrow two exhibits, one modern and the other conservative, from the permanent collection of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. The paintings, twenty in all, are to be changed every three months. An effort will be made to provide variety and balance in the exhibits. Conservative or traditional paint- ings are hung in the right wing lounge, with modern art works in the left wing lounge. Dr. Junkin says the separation will enable him to study student reaction to the different forms. But he thinks the modern group will be more popu- lar. “A student may make disparag- ing remarks about modern paint- ing, but he will spend ten or fifteen minutes looking at the pictures whereas he'll just give the tradi- tional paintings a brief once-over,” the professor says. A printed brochure containing information about each picture in the exhibit has been prepared for student viewers and others by Dr. Junkin. Among the American painters represented in the exhibits are Rob- ert Gwathmey, Paul Arlt, Henry Lee McFee, Lamar Dodd, and Gio- vanni Martino. European artists represented include Stanley Hayter, George Braque, and Jean Lurcat. The Evans Hall exhibits are not replacing the Fine Arts Depart- ment’s regular monthly exhibits in duPont Hall. Rather, they are pro- viding additional exposure to art for more students, who are getting their artistic doses administered in a painless, pleasant way. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Next Issue Will Have Special Supplement The next issue of the Alumni Magazine will contain a_ special supplement on “The Alumnus.” Alumni magazine editors and writ- ers throughout the country have joined in this cooperative effort to tell the story of you, who are, in the words of the report, “one of the most important persons in American higher education today.” There will be sixteen pages of pictures and text, prepared by a group of alumni editors who have been working on the project for months. Three hundred and fifty other alumni magazines in the United States, Canada and Mexico will include the supplement in their spring issues. ATHLETICS (Continued from page 11) backcourt man, is the team’s top scorer with 221 points and a 14.7 average for 15 games. Another sen- ior guard, Frank Surface, has aver- aged 11.5, and senior forward Jack Daughtrey has a 11.6 average. A pair of talented freshmen, 6-2 Rodger Fauber and 5-11 Ken Ko- walski, have given the team a big boost, and the return at mid-term of 6-3 Steve Rutledge has bolstered the squad’s depth. The Generals lost two to Bridge- water and to Sewanee and Chatta- nooga before getting their first win over Emory and Henry. Losses to Richmond and Catholic Universi- ty followed, and then they posted consecutive wins over Randolph- Macon, Catholic, and Hampden- Sydney before the exam break. In February, the Generals lost to Hampden-Sydney, beat Washing- ton College and Lynchburg, lost to Randolph-Macon, and then de- feated Roanoke in their last out- ing. Games remain with Lynch- WINTER 1960 1959-60 Alumni Fund Solicitation Now Under Way in Certain Areas Y THIS TIME, a number of you have received letters from your class agents regarding the reactiva- tion of the Alumni Fund on a limit- ed basis for 1960. The program, planned so it will not conflict with the capital gifts campaign which is now in its sec- ond year, is set up this way: No alumnus who has given to the capital gifts campaign is being solicited until his pledge has been paid in full, or in the same academic year of his gift, even though his pledge is already paid. Those solicited are to fall into two groups—those who have had an opportunity to pledge to the capital fund drive and who did not, and those who had_ paid their pledges to the drive in full, prior to September 1, 1959. In the areas which have not yet staged their fund drives, alumni are not being contacted in behalf of the Alumni Fund. However, if there is a desire to make a contribution, alumni may contact their class agents (see in- side front cover for names and ad- dresses). There will be no regional agents this year during the limited solicitation, and no established con- tributor or dollar goals. This is the twenty-sixth year of the Class Agent plan. Each year, the Alumni Fund has shown a steady increase, both in number and amount of contribution. In this year, when the fund is moving burg, Emory and Henry, and Vir- ginia. In a sport that draws no specta- tors and very little publicity, Washington and Lee has compiled a 4-4 season with its rifle team. from a state of merger with the capital gifts program to a rejuven- ated role of its own, Washington and Lee needs the loyal support of her sons more than ever. The ever-present day-to-day needs of the University are contin- ually increasing. To meet these challenges that he ahead, Washing- ton and Lee must look to the con- tinued annual support from its many alumni and friends. George Washington’s Gift Is Still Helping Students OMEWHERE IN Washington and Lee’s endowment assets of more than fourteen million dollars are fifty thousand hard-working dollars which have been helping to pay for education of young men for 158 years. The sum represents the gift of one hundred shares of James River Navigation Company stock to the school by George Washington in 1796, first large gift of securities to a college in the United States. And although the gift lost its singular identity in 1928, when the state retired the certificates of in- debtedness, the $50,000 which the University received from its par value continues to earn some $2,000 each year. As Chancellor F. P. Gaines used to tell freshmen each year, that means the generosity of George Washington is responsible for two to three dollars of their annual tui- tion expenses. In all, the Washington gift has earned for the University approx- imately $413,000. Interest and div- idends have ranged as high as 18 per cent, as low as three. The cur- rent return is about four per cent. 17 Alumni Chapter Meetings BALTIMORE The Baltimore alumni chapter held its annual fall dinner-dance meeting on Saturday, November 21, 1959, at the Blackstone. A large and enthusiastic group was on hand to hear the principal address by Dr. William A. Jenks, professor of his- tory. ‘The dinner was preceded by a social hour and a short business session, with outgoing president, Gideon Stieff, presiding. The newly elected officers for the ensuing year are as follows: James R. McDonald, 50, president; John D. Mayhew, '26, vice-president. Following the dinner the alumni, their wives or dates enjoyed danc- ing to music supphed by the “Hot Lips” orchestra. ATLANTA The Atlanta chapter held it an- nual cocktail party in the Tack room of the Piedmont Driving Club, Saturday, November 28, 1959, following the Georgia-Geor- gia ‘Tech football game. The func- tion was well attended by a large group of alumni and friends. The future program for the Atlanta chapter was discussed, with the pro- posal of a dinner meeting for January or February on_ either Lee’s or Washington's birthday. This meeting was to be followed by a business meeting in the spring of the year. LOUISVILLE The Louisville alumni chapter held a business meeting on Decem- ber 7, 1959, which was well attend- ed. New officers installed for the coming year are: president, ‘T. Ken- nedy Helm, ’40; vice-president, Robert W. Vaughan, ’50; secretary 18 and treasurer, Ernest Woodward, II, *4o. During the short business session plans were discussed for an alumni meeting in February, at which time it was hoped that the new presi- dent, Dr. Fred C. Cole, might be principal speaker. RICHMOND ‘The Richmond chapter held its regular meeting in the Winter Gar- den of the Hotel Richmond, com- memorating Lee’s birthday, on Tuesday, January 19, 1960. Among the invited guests were parents of the present students and alumni members of the Virginia General Assembly which was then in ses- sion. Coaches Lee McLaughlin and Dick Miller gave a report on the athletic picture and specifically, the fall football season. Colored movies gave highlights of several of the Generals’ games this year. Also representing the University was James Whitehead who gave a report on the progress of the capi- tal funds campaign. A short busi- ness meeting followed the dinner in which plans were discussed for the chapter in the approaching spring season.

It begins, “Between the Blue Ridge and Alleghen- ies In the vale of Shenandoah Stands my dear old Alma Mater, Memory days of long ago. Blest with ideals grand and noble Born from out a generous hand— It has glorified the ages It has brightened the hopes of man. Near the banks of old North River, Beneath the bright Virginia skies. Where the blue caresses the mountains And the immortal Stonewall lies, Came a call from my Alma Mater An urgent call to General Lee, Came a call for a brilliant thinker, Man of force and sympathy.” 07 V.

HYMAN, 712 m™ WHILE NATIONS of men_ have thrilled to the latest exploits in space, a New York lawyer with both feet on the ground has been thinking of space from a different angle. William A. Hyman, ’12, 1s viewing the legal aspects of the space age with a practiced eye; so much so, that he has become known as the world’s leading “space law- yer.” He has recently returned to New York from a Far Eastern trip, where he spoke to groups and was interviewed in Hong Kong, Manila, and Japan. In Japan, he was in- vited to lecture the faculty and students at Kyoto University on regulations of outer space, and in the Philippine Islands, he spoke on the same subject to the Philip- pine Lawyers Association. Mr. Hyman, senior member of the firm Hyman, Hayman, and Harris, at 111 Fulton Street in New York, is an insurance lawyer. Space law is his hobby—and a very inter- esting one. He now heads space study groups for the New York County Lawyers Association, the Federal Bar Association of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, and the Inter-American Bar Asso- ciation, and formerly headed such studies for both the New York and American Bar Associations. Suppose another nation’s rocket or missile accidentally hits an air- liner over the ocean, or perhaps strikes a city and demolishes a num- ber of buildings? Property is dam- aged, people are killed. What’s the law? What's the remedy? Whom do you sue? “As of today,” says Mr. Hyman, “there is no law, no agreement among nations, no remedy for in- dividuals who may be killed or whose property may be damaged. We shouldn’t wait for incidents to happen. What we need is to estab- lish fundamental law and standards for regulation of outer space for peaceful uses.” A space code to keep the peace should contain the following pro- visions, he thinks: a definition of what constitutes outer space; pro- hibition of nuclear experiments in outer space; provision for avoid- ing interference with aircraft by space vehicles; principles of lia- bility for personal injury, death, or property damage caused by space vehicles; provision for arbitrating all disputes by an agency, court, or tribunal designed by United Na- tions; a method of insurance against damage; provision for po- licing outer space. The United Nations currently has a committee to study regula- tions on outer space. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE HEN NORFLEET TURNER, ’24, Was Wee chairman of the board of the First National Bank of Mem- phis last month, Allen B. Morgan, ‘29, succeeded him as president. This marked another step in the parallel careers of two alumni who have worked together as a team since their entry into the business world. Mr. Turner began his fi- nancial career as a transit clerk in a Memphis bank in 1923, and in 1929, was made manager of the First Securities Corporation, an afhliate of the First National Bank. Shortly after, Allen Morgan, just out of college, joined the firm as a bond salesman. In 1933, when Mr. Turner was made a vice-president of First Na- tional, Mr. Morgan succeeded him as manager of what had then be- come the bank’s Bond Department. Four years later, Mr. ‘Turner was named executive vice-president, and Mr. Morgan was elevated to vice-president. In 1943, Mr. Turner became president of the bank, and in 1946, Mr. Morgan was named executive vice-president. Both men enjoyed the distinction of be- ing the youngest vice-presidents in Memphis banking history. Both are also members of the bank’s board of directors. The striking parallel of their banking careers is matched, in many ways, by the similarity of their business, civic, and _ social activities. Both are Episcopalians; both are past directors and _ treas- urers of the Memphis Chamber of Commerce, Memphis Rotary Club and Memphis chapter, American Red Cross. Both have sucessfully headed the community’s major an- nual charity drive, Mr. Turner as president of the Community Chest, Mr. Morgan as general chairman of its sucessor, Shelby United Neigh- bors. Both have also been active in fund-raising drives for colleges, hospitals, character-building _ or- ganizations and_ similar under- takings. WINTER 1960 G NORFLEET TURNER, '24, left, chairman of the board, and ALLEN MorcGan, ’29, right, president of the First National Bank of Memphis, Tennessee. Both have served on the Execu- tive Council of the American Bank- ers’ Association. Mr. Turner, a former director of the Federal Re- serve Bank of St. Louis, was re- cently named to the Federal Ad- visory Council, a twelve-man board which makes recommendations to the Federal Reserve Board. Mr. Morgan is a member of the board of directors of Continental Bak- ing Company, and a former mem- ber of the Alumni Board of Trus- tees of Washington and Lee Uni- versity. When the Turner-Morgan team first became associated with the bank, it was relatively small, with total resources of about $24,000,- 000. Over the years they have seen it become one of the major bank- ing institutions of the South, with resources last year of $309,939,117. While this spectacular growth was due, in part, to changing economic conditions and population increase, a substantial portion was directly attributable to the aggressive efforts of the two men. One of the first steps taken by them as heads of the bank was establishment of a business development program. Through sales training and use of a permanent incentive plan, this program has been expanded to in- clude both officers and employees of the bank, thus increasing the bank’s “‘sales force.” A profit- sharing plan was also adopted, providing added incentive to staff members in furthering the bank’s growth. As a final parallel, both are de- voted family men. Mr. Turner is married to the former Elinor Rag- land, and Mr. Morgan to the for- mer Elise Wetter. The ‘Turners have a son, Norfleet Ragland, ’51, and a daughter, Mrs. Edward Giobbi of Florence, Italy. The Morgans have two sons, Allen, Jr. and Henry, and a daughter, Elise. ms 29 Lewis F.

Behind the so-called doctrine of states rights, Paul said, lies the philosophy that “the closer the Government is to a man, the more apt that government is to reflect his sentiments.” By maintaining States’ responsibilities, as reserved by the Constitution, Americans will keep that much of their government “closer to home,” he said. f f GEORGE T.
