The Alumni House is an out- growth of more than a year of care- ful study and planning by the Al- umni Board of Directors and a spe- cial ad hoc house committee of board members. Besides the cur- rent president, past presidents E. Alton Sartor, Jr., °38, of Shreveport, ‘La. and Dr. John D. Battle, °34, of Cleveland, Ohio, were leaders in getting the project started. Sartor, Robert A. Fulwiler, Jr., °25, of Wil- mington, Del., and E. Stewart Ep- ley, 49, of New York made up the ad hoc committee. The alumni directors worked closely with alumni Executive Sec- retary William C. Washburn, Unt- versity President Fred C. Cole and other members of the University administration, the University Board of ‘Trustees, and the Univer- sity architects, Clark, Nexsen, and Owen of Lynchburg, Va. Plans and specifications were de- vised, and various plans for financ- ing the project were discussed by the alumni board and their col- leagues at the University. Final ap- proval of all plans came at the June meeting of the alumni board. ‘The contract was awarded to the SUMMER 1965 Lexington firm of W. W. Coffey & Son, general contractors who have worked successfully for Washing- ton and Lee on numerous other building and remodeling projects. The decision to remodel rather than build was made after the Uni- versity architects estimated that a new building to provide the same space would cost twice as much as the expense of renovation. Simultaneously with the start of actual work on the remodeling, the fund campaign to support the pro- ject swung into action. In a letter to all chapter presidents. President Nuckols announced the appoint- ment of Mr. Morison as the na- tional chairman of the house fund campaign. In charting plans for the house fund campaign, particular concern was expressed by the Alumni Board of Directors and the 1965-66 Alum- ni Fund Council as to the effect such a capital campaign might have on the vital annual program of alumni giving. Consideration was given to a merger of the two efforts, but a final decision was made in favor of two separate fund campaigns. Executive Secretary Washburn, on whose shoulders rests the ad- ministrative responsibility for both the house fund drive and the an- nual Alumni Fund, explained the decision for two, separate cam- paigns in this way: “Each fund effort will serve a dis- tinctive and equally important pur- pose. ‘he House Fund campaign is a capital campaign to provide a critically-needed facility for alum- ni use. It will be an intensive, one- shot solicitation of all alumni. The Annual Fund will continue to func- tion as the vital year to year sup- port which our alumni so generous- ly extend to the ongoing work of the University itself, the support of higher education at Washington and Lee. Our dual effort this year is much like the situation most of us have encountered in our churches, where a building campaign often runs concurrently with the annual every-member canvass.” “We hope our alumni will rec- ognize how important both the Al- umni House and the Annual Fund are to the association and to the University,” Washburn added. A special feature of the House fund campaign is the plan to con- centrate its major effort through the association’s forty-three active alumni chapters. In President Nuckols’ letter to chapter presidents, he explained how the alumni board had declined the University Board of ‘Trustees’ 3 ‘ISNOFY UULN| PY UD OPUL aJUapISas APPNIV{ AY] GUIZLIAUOI UL APY Aq yum yolym sadupys ayy Jsadons suvjd s0oy SIA}YIAP MERE SBS LAIR SBR LR 333 $ CEES REESE BA OIE AS ALUMNI MAGAZINE THE 7 7 — aa 7 _ ae 7 z : 7 space for our secretaries, for our files, for our office machines, and for storage,” he explained. “We'll be able to do a better job in vir- tually every phase of our regular work, and most important, we'll be able to serve the individual alum- nus and the various chapters in bet- ter fashion than we’ve been able to do previously.” And he said the projected use of the Alumni House for appropriate faculty functions will help strength- en the ties between alumni and the faculty. “T believe we’re moving into an area of new alumni interest in the University, an area of new alumni concern for its future progress, and I believe the presence of our A\l- umni House and its use by Wash- ington and Lee men will be a posi- tive factor in sustaining and en- couraging this new interest,” Wash- burn said. ‘“‘T hope every alumnus will start making his plans now to return to Washington and Lee next spring and make use of our new home at the very first opportunity,” he said. New House Will Feature Comfort, Utility ASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVER- W sity alumni’s new home will serve a variety of purposes, and the remodeling and renovation nec- essary to adapt the former faculty residence for these purposes are substantial. The architects’ rendering of the way the Alumni House will appear is carried on the cover of this mag- azine. On another page there is a floor plan of the building, showing both the layout of the old house and the new arrangements to ac- commodate the association’s offices and the general purpose uses of the building. The Alumni House is and will be a big house. ‘The lounges, foyer, and card room of the first floor will provide ample space for reunions, receptions, parties, and other so- cial activities. In good weather, porches which will encircle the first floor on three sides will provide additional room, and it is expect- ed that approximately 450 guests can be accommodated at one time with all facilities in use. A kitchen will be equipped to facilitate serving light luncheons and other refreshments on a ca- tered basis. The necessary appoint- ments, including sink, stove, re- frigerator, and other appliances, will be functional but not elabor- ate. The kitchen will also have facilities for uncatered serving of soft drinks, set-ups, and coffee and tea. p A movable bar is planned for use on the porches or in the loung- es as needed. When not in use it can be stored in the kitchen’s serv- ing pantry. Adequate rest room facilities will be located conveniently. In addition to serving as a site for receptions, parties, and other planned events, the Alumni House will be a place for informal social- izing and for meetings of alumni during weekends when appreciable numbers of alumni are on campus. And the House will be a place for the casual alumni visitor to check in, be welcomed by the alumni sec- retary, and relax with his family during their visit to the University. No effort is being made now to provide overnight guest facilities at the Alumni House. Decorations and furnishings for the lounges and other first floor rooms will be tasteful and comfort- able. Materials of interest to alum- ni, such as back issues of the Calyx, the University catalogue, and the Alumni Magazine, will be avail- able for browsing. ‘The second floor will be the cen- ter of the Alumni Association’s routine administration. Executive Secretary Washburn’s office will be located here, along with the sec- retarial offices, the active files, and the equipment necessary for carry- ing on the varied activities of the Alumni Office, A Board Room will be furnished to provide an appropriate meet- ing place for the Alumni Board of Directors, the Alumni Fund Coun- cil, and other special groups. Access to the second floor will in- clude a ramp at the rear of the house which will facilitate the easy moving of magazines and other printed materials into the work- rooms for addressing, packaging, and other activities. Part of the remodeling includes special structural reinforcements to support heavy office equipment used by the Alumni Office and _ to soundproof the operation of this equipment from the other parts of the building. Provision for air-conditioning of the entire house is being made, but at the outset only the second floor, where year-around use is planned, will be cooled. When air-condition- ing is added to the first floor, it will be possible to regulate temperatures separately at the different levels. The attic level will be used for dead files and storage. Landscaping will include terraces and walls for the yard facing on Letcher Avenue and for parking at the back for the Alumni Office staff and a limited number of visi- tors’ cars. Maintenance, repair, and utility costs of the Alumni House will be borne by the University, which supports the Alumni Office to this extent in its present location.

The long cherished dream of an Alumni House is now approaching reality and following my report I will ask Mr. Epley and Mr. Plow- man who have worked so diligently on the House Committee to give a report on its present status. [I am happy to advise that yester- day Bill Washburn and myself, rep- resenting the entire Alumni Asso- clation, met with the University Board of ‘Trustees in their busi- ness meeting. It was a very fine oc- casion for me and I think that the exchange of information by such a meeting was most fruitful. 1 might add that the University Board of ‘Trustees is in full support of the plans being made for an Alumni House. I can also assure you that the University Board of ‘Trustees feels a very close relationship to the work, the aims and purposes of the Alumni Association. The adoption of the revised Ar- ticles of Incorporation was neces- sary because of a change several years ago in the number of mem- bers on the Alumni Board of Di- rectors. While going into this mat- ter it was found that there were several other changes — which, though incorporated in the prac- tice of the Alumni Association, had not been properly recorded with the State Corporation Commission. I am happy to say that all of this has now been completed with the revision of the Articles of Incor- poration. It has been cleared by the State Corporation Commission and approved by the Alumni Board of Directors. It is planned to have these Articles printed in booklet form in the near future for distri- bution to the Alumni Chapters and other interested alumni. In all of this work, which took considerable time and effort and several meet- ings in Richmond with the State Corporation Commission, the AI- umni Association is indebted to Professor Robert Huntley of our Law School for his good help and advice. You have just heard a_ report from the ‘Treasurer on the present status of the Alumni Fund. While we are short of our goal, our fig- ure as of this date exceeds last year’s figure at this same time by some $10,000. At this point I would like to pause to acknowledge our debt and express our thanks to the Alumni Fund Council which was headed by Robert Taylor of Lynch- burg and also our deep apprecia- tion to the fine organization of class agents and regional agents. Our continued goals for the annual Alumni Fund should be an exten- sion in terms of total contribu- tions and more particularly in a broader participation on the part of more alumni. In the realm of organization, | believe your Association continues to be strong. It would be hard to keep up with all of the various ac- tivities but we are indebted to President Cole, members of the staff and faculty and Bill Wash- burn who have, over this past year, visited many of the forty-three or- ganized chapters. The Alumni Magazine continues to be our main avenue of commun- ication. It has, I think, become in- creasingly effective in terms of its content and its reflection of the There were twenty-five graduating sons of alumni in June, 1965.

My report would be entirely too long should I cover all of the usual activities which are carried on here during the school year. I might mention, however, that the Home- coming and Reunion festivities continue to be high-lights of the year. This year, for the first time, there was added the fifth anniver- sary class. Therefore, we now have five anniversary classes which are coming back to campus in_ the spring for Reunion time. Serious consideration is being given to the addition of other classes. Our stu- dent-alumni relations is an import- ant field of operation. Your Asso- clation takes a prominent place ‘ach year at Freshman Camp, and of course, we continue with our an- nual Senior Banquet at which time we honor and welcome those who are entering the ranks of alumni.
