R. Huntley President of the University William J. Watt Dean of the College THE COLLEGE Of particular assistance to the faculty of the whole University is the grant of $208,000 awarded by the Andrew Mellon Foundation to increase the effectiveness of faculty members as teachers and scholars. For the next four years, this grant will support programs to bring visiting professors from business, government, industry, and other universities to our campus; to permit entire departments to visit their counterparts at other colleges; to allow faculty members to consult individually with colleagues elsewhere; and to supplement the Glenn Grant summer research program. During the past year, teachers in the College have published 10 books and 22 articles in scholarly journals, as well as numerous poems and reviews. In addition, they have presented 29 papers before learned societies. Professors in the fine arts have written musical compositions or produced works of sculpture or paintings. All of these scholarly and artistic works were carried out by persons who are able teachers carrying a full instructional load during the academic year. Faculty development programs, like those which the Mellon Grant supports, have been of assistance in enabling these teachers to pursue their scholarly objectives during the summer or while on leave. Faculty members have also received support during this past year from the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, - National Endowment for the Humanities, Office of Education, and the Virginia Historic Landmark Commission. The following changes occurred in the faculty of the College during the past year: a) Ten new faculty members replaced persons who had left the faculty by retirement, resignation, rotation (military science), or a temporary leave. Dr. W. M. Hinton, who had served on our faculty since 1930, and Dr. Felix Welch, who joined our faculty in 1947, retired at the end of the 1977-78 academic year. Both men continue their residence in Lexington and their helpful presence on our campus. b) In addition, we had our first visitor in the faculty exchange program with University College, Oxford: Dr. David Bell, an expert on volcanoes, who served as visiting Professor of Geology during the Fall Term. During this same period, Professor LaRue of the Law School carried out research at Oxford. This program proved to be a very successful one, providing our students an opportunity to work with an Oxford don and providing the entire academic community an opportunity to learn about British higher education from a charming and informative visitor. c) Two professors occupied for the first time endowed chairs in the College. Dr. David W. Sprunt was appointed to the newly created Fletcher Otey Thomas Professorship of Bible. Dr. Robert A. Roberts was appointed to our oldest endowed chair, the Cincinnati Professorship of Mathematics, upon the retirement of Dr. Welch. d) New department heads in the College serving or appointed during the past academic year are Lt. Col. Medley Davis in military science, Dr. Robert Johnson in mathematics, Dr. Thomas Nye in biology, and Dr. Sidney Coulling in English. There have been several developments in the curriculum. In conjunction with the Self-Study which was completed this year, the curriculum was reviewed by the faculty, the Committee on Courses and Degrees, and the Visiting Committee of the Southern Association. There was general satisfaction with the effectiveness of the new curriculum adopted eight years ago, although there was concern about and extensive discussion of many aspects of the distribution and overall degree requirements. The faculty is particularly anxious to assure that our students are skilled in written expression. Procedures were set up last fall to find those students who are in need of help with their writing. Each entering freshman was asked to write an essay during the orientation period. These essays were graded by the freshman’s adviser, _and the appropriate English course for the student’s needs was determined. The faculty’s desire to be involved in this placement procedure is one of many demonstrations of the faculty’s belief that all faculty members, not solely those in the English Department, must be involved in strengthening students’ verbal skills. The natural and social science curricula were augmented by a grant from the NSF-CAUSE program to use more effectively our new Harris S- 125 Computer. This $218,000 grant will enable us over the next three years to increase both faculty and student competency in the use of the computer, to enhance student learning through wider availability of computer simulation, models, or tutorials, and to increase student a skills in data analysis. Although this grant has been in effect only during the past year, many students and faculty members have expressed satisfaction with the power of the new computer as a research and teaching aid and with the extensive instruction in its use which has been made available. Many departments have changed their curricula, adding, dropping, and modifying courses to meet the present needs of our students. Most departments now offer a one-credit course in the bibliographical resources of that particular discipline enabling students to use the library more effectively in their study and research. The East Asian program was expanded by the addition of a summer program in Mandarin offered in Taiwan to a small number of our students. Language instruction is most helpful in the country in which the language is spoken, as our Spring Term Study Abroad programs in France, Germany, Spain, and Japan, as well as this past summer’s experience in Taiwan, demonstrate. Graduates with majors in the College have again this year received Fulbright, Rotary, and other prestiguous grants to support their continued study. We were particularly pleased that Mr. Mark Bradley, a history major, was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship, one of 32 given to United States citizens. WILLIAM J. WATT Dean of the College SCHOOL OF COMMERCE, ECONOMICS, AND POLITICS The last few years have represented a continual game of “catch-up” for the School of Commerce, Economics, and Politics. Increasing numbers of students have chosen the business, economics, or politics majors available in the School. In addition, larger numbers of other students have been electing to take the elementary courses in these three fields and in accounting. In June of 1978, these three majors (business, economics, and politics) accounted for more than 45 percent of the graduating class. There is some indication that that will be the peak, with about the same number this June. Traditionally, the percentage of majors in the School of Commerce has hovered around 30 percent, and both the faculty and the facilities were designed to accommodate that number of majors. Needless to say, the approximate 50 percent increase in majors, plus the increasing interest in the elementary classes, has put considerable strain on both the faculty and the physical facilities of the School. The faculty of the School of Commerce, Economics, and Politics has been increased by three over the last three years, giving the School a total of 20 full-time teaching faculty. However, this small increase has not been nearly enough to accommodate the new majors and the increased number of elementary sections. Most of the increased demand has had to be met by increasing the size of the classes in both elementary courses and upperclass courses. Beginning courses in economics, politics, and ie Edward C. Atwood, Jr. Dean of the School of Commerce, Economics, and Politics accounting have grown from an average of 20 students to an average of 30 students. In addition, the more popular upperclass courses in all departments have been increased to 20 to 25 students. The brunt of the adjustment has been taken by the teaching faculty. The number of students they teach in each of their classes has increased. This means more tests, papers, and examinations to grade in each section, and more time devoted to advising and counselling classroom students and majors. The quality of _ the education has been maintained, but some of the personal nature of a Washington and Lee education has, of necessity, been sacrificed. The problems percipitated by the growth of the enrollment of the School have been exacerbated by the inadequacy of the physical facilities. Newcomb Hall was thought to be too small for the School of Commerce, Economics, and Politics before the enrollment surge took place. Since then it has become the busiest building on the campus. The classrooms, built to accommodate smaller classes, have been used to the fullest with every seat filled, and a number of the larger classes have had to move to other buildings on the campus. Happily, the problem of inadequate facilities will be solved in another two years. We all are looking forward to the time when the School will be able to make its move into the remodeled McCormick Library building. The present schedule calls for the library to move into the new library building in January of 1979, and for the extensive remodeling work on McCormick to begin immediately, and be completed in one year to 18 months. We will then be in excellent shape in regard to facilities. We hope that by the time we make the move the problem of size will have been somewhat aleviated. Another faculty member will be hired for the new academic year, and perhaps the demand for the majors in the School will fall to a more traditional proportion. There has been the usual large number of speakers brought to the campus for periods of one day to one week. The last few years have brought visits by John D. deButts, AT&T chairman, John T. Fey, chairman of the Equitable Life Assurance Company, Ren McPherson, chairman of the Dana Corporation, Lord Caradon, British businessman, and innumerable others lecturing in class or in Lee Chapel, or both. The generous contribution of an alumnus has provided funding for many of these visits during the last two years. Since the installation of the new Harris computer a number of professors in the School are making much more extensive use of computer facilities in their classrooms and in their research. As a part of this new installation the School will have two terminals and a printer in the building (in a remodeled closet). In conclusion, the School of Commerce, Economics, and Politics continues to be a vital, healthy segment of the University and is slowly but surely overcoming the problems involved in a large increase in students. EDWARD C. ATWOOD, JR. Dean of the School of Commerce, Economics, and Politics THE SCHOOL OF LAW The student body in the Law School continued to expand toward the ultimate maximum of 350 students by registration of 111 students in the first-year class this year. With the larger first-year class admitted last year, there were 308 students enrolled in the Law School this year. Next year we should be operating near the maximum contemplated. The 111 members of the first-year class came to us from 29 states and 77 undergraduate schools. The quality of the class is excellent: 3.27 mean Gpa/639 mean LSAT. The matter of meaningful placement of our students continues to be a matter of prime concern to us. We have vigorously attempted to increase our contacts in the job market and these efforts have resulted in a noticeable increase in activity in our Placement Office. Eighty-five employers located in 16 states sent representatives to Lewis Hall to interview our students. In addition, 322 employers used our Placement Office to reach our students by mail. Sixty-nine percent of our graduating class had accepted employment in 17 states by July 1, 1978. Most of them will be associated with law firms. Eighty percent of the second year class had law related employment during the summer of 1978. We hope to make increasing use of our fine facilities in Lewis Hall for professional conferences and seminars. A step in this direction was taken when Mr. Gaughan organized a two-day conference on “Lawyer and Client: Skills-Problems- Prospects.” The conference was cosponsored by the Virginia State 4 Bar and the Virginia Bar Association. The Annual Meeting of the Fourth Circuit Law Student Division of the American Bar Association was held in Lewis Hall with representatives from the law schools located in the Fourth Circuit attending. We were also hosts to the regional competitions of the International Moot Court Competition and the Client Counseling Competition. Our library collection continues to grow. We now have an excellent collection in the faculty library. Our total collection has grown to over 178,000 volumes, including volume equivalents of microforms, audio and video materials. The use of audio and video materials for instructional purposes is increasing and is enriching the educational process. All of our students now receive instruction in the handling of computer research of legal problems through the use of our LEXIS terminal. Members of the law faculty are becoming increasingly involved in activities of professional organizations and in research in their areas of expertise. Such involvement inevitably enhances their effectiveness in their teaching ‘roles. Roy L. STEINHEIMER Dean of the School of Law Roy L. Stenheimer Dean of the School of Law STUDENTS I. ADMISSIONS AND FINANCIAL AID: Admissions policies and procedures underwent an intensive internal evaluation during the 1977- 78 academic year, not only as part of the University’s overall Self-Study, but also as a continuation of the review begun by the admissions office staff and the Faculty Admissions Committee in the spring of 1977. Asa result of this ongoing evaluation, many changes have already been made, and new procedures will be implemented | during the current year. The University’s general approach | toward an increasingly competitive admissions situation will be a much more aggressive one, using the efforts of an enlarged professional staff and the more systematic and organized involvement of additional alumni. The year 1977 was unusual for admissions in a number of respects. In the first place, we experienced a 26 percent decline in the number of applications from 1,320 in 1977 to 975 for the class entering this September. Among the possible reasons contributing to this decline were (1) the institution of a rather formidable essay requirement as part of the admissions application, (2) the reduction of the recruiting efforts of the athletic staff while the search for a new football coach was taking place, and (3) the declining national pool of male college applicants. Those students who did apply, however, were generally better qualified and more serious about attending Washington and Lee, and the admissions staff undertook a number of special efforts to encourage those offered acceptance to enroll. As a result, the “yield,” or percentage of candidates accepting our offers of admission increased from 46 percent in 1977 to 56 percent; although we offered admission to 89 fewer candidates than in 1977 (684, compared with 773), our freshman class enrollment in September 1978 was 380, compared with 353 in 1977. We were forced to lease space in the Robert E. Lee Hotel for the second time in three years to provide housing for our overflow freshmen. Qualitatively, the class is very similar to last year’s. Average SAT scores for the Class of 1982 are two points lower (1128 compared with 1130), but average class rank is up by one and one half percentage points, to its highest point since 1973. Significant personnel changes were necessitated both by the decision to increase the size of the admissions staff and by the mid-year resignation of Jim Farrar as director of admissions, a post he had held for 16 years. Mr. Farrar has taken on new duties as full-time organizer and director of the Alumni Admissions Program, which will bring University alumni throughout the nation into direct involvement with the admissions efforts. After an interim six-month period in which Lewis John, Dean of Students, served in the additional capacity of director of admissions and during which an intensive search was held for a new director, William M. Hartog, formerly dean of admissions at Rollins College, succeeded Mr. Farrar in July. Jim Underhill and Mark Putney, both June graduates, are serving as admissions counselors during the current academic year, and a search is currently in process for an associate admissions director, a newly created position. Dan Murphy continues halftime as assistant director, along with his other duties as coordinator of fraternity affairs. Evaluation of our admissions efforts is continuing, but extensive changes have already been made. With the assistance of a professional admissions consultant, Mr. Luther H. Hoopes of Baltimore, Maryland, the University conducted a marketing research study during the Spring Term. Questionnaires were distributed to current students, accepted applicants who chose to attend college elsewhere, and high school seniors who received information but who did not complete applications for admission. Office facilities for the admissions staff have been consolidated in Washington 25, as the Office of the Dean of Students was moved to Payne Hall during the summer. The University will, for the first time this year, become a participant in the Common Application Program of almost 100 private colleges across the country. With the aid of a computer admissions program written for the admissions office over the summer by Professor Robert Wilson of the Mathematics Department, significantly expanded use of the new University computer facilities is projected. In addition, the new director of admissions has begun a thorough review of all administrative recruitment strategies, marketing techniques and admissions procedures. During the coming year, for example, secondary school visitations will increase approximately 40 percent, and Washington and Lee will adopt a Es Pi EG I EE TE RC “rolling admissions” notification plan, whereby applicants may be offered admission as early as February lI. Recognizing the importance of family continuity, the University continues to accept a high proportion of alumni sons who apply for admission. Our policy is to offer admission to all sons of alumni who demonstrate they are capable of successful academic work here, and they are not in competition with other applicants. In 1977, 49 of 65 sons of alumni were accepted for admission, and 35 enrolled as freshmen. In 1978, the figures were comparable—53 of 63 were accepted (a significantly higher proportion than for the overall applicant pool), and 35 enrolled. Financial aid continues to be an integral part of our admissions efforts to attract well-qualified students. The University awards assistance to more than 330 needy undergraduates annually—about 25 percent of the student body— involving a total amount of more than $835,000. All applicants for this fall’s freshman class who were 7 accepted for admission and who demonstrated financial need (117 students) were offered assistance in the full amount of their need. In addition, the University is continuing its recently established no-need, honor program of Washington, Gaines, and University Merit Scholarships, with awards of $1,000 each to approximately 25 of the top students in each entering class. Il. STUDENT LIFE As indicated in the annual survey conducted among its entering 6 freshmen each fall, Washington and Lee students continue to be somewhat atypical of college students nationally; most significant, perhaps, are the predominantly upper middle class family backgrounds and the students’ preprofessional aspirations. Law (30 percent, four times the national average), business (23 percent), and medicine (14 percent) were again the most probable career occupations projected by last year’s freshmen. Almost half of the fathers of entering freshmen were businessmen, and 11 percent were lawyers, while the median family income was approximately $35,000, roughly twice the national median. We continue to attract a generally conservative student body, with 43 percent of the freshmen describing themselves as “conservative” or “far right” (vs. 21 percent nationally), and only 17 percent as “liberal” or “far left” (vs. 30 percent nationally). By far the most important reason noted for selecting Washington and Lee was its “good academic reputation”—86 percent of our entering freshmen compared to 48 percent nationally. For the second year, Michael Cappeto, Director of Career Development and Placement, published the results of a survey of the graduates of the Class of 1977. Of the 83 percent of the class who responded to the October questionnaire, 37 percent entered graduate and professional school immediately as full-time students— 13 percent in law school, 8 percent in medical school, 5 percent in business school, and 11 percent in other graduate school programs. Fifty- seven percent of the graduates had obtained jobs, while just under 9 percent remained unemployed at the time of the survey. Self-government remains a hallmark of the student life at Washington and Lee. In a period when many institutions are abolishing or radically revising their honor systems, the Honor System at Washington and Lee, through strong Student Executive Committee leadership and student commitment to the principles of honor and integrity which underlie that system, remains strong and effective. The year was one of examination and re- evaluation of some of the procedural and due process aspects of the Honor System and of some discussion about the possibility of a separate Honor System for the students in the School of Law. Some procedural changes were approved, but the Executive Committee reaffirmed the absolute penalty as the single sanction and also rejected a proposal to separate undergraduate and law school honor systems. The Student Body Executive Committee, under the able leadership last year of Jim Underhill and this year of Beau Dudley (a third-year law student and son of Trustee Waller Dudley), continues to provide particularly strong leadership in this and in other areas of student government. The Student Activities Board, the entertainment arm of the Student Executive Committee, survived a somewhat controversial year, rocked by the resignation of one of its co- chairmen in mid-year and by prolonged discussions over its handling of student body funds and its selection of entertainment for big concerts. Nevertheless, Fancy Dress was a huge success, and the saB continues to serve the entire Lewis G. John Dean of Students University community well through its sponsorship of a variety of social and recreational events that add zest to campus life. The Spring Term was enlivened by a controversy over the student newspaper, the Ring-tum Phi, and its publication of a National Lampoon- like parody issue. Among charges of editorial irresponsibility, obscenity, administrative confiscation of the issue In question, and suppression of freedom of the student press, several heated, open meetings of the Publications Board (a student group with two faculty advisers), and of the Student Body Executive Committee were held. The editor was retained, then fired, by the Publications Board, and was finally reinstated to his position by the Executive Committee. As the controversy evolved into a dispute about the appropriate extent of the review power of the Student Executive Committee over the Publications Board, the E.c. assumed responsibility for publishing the final issues of the term. The recruitment of black students and their assimilation into the student body, with attention to their particular needs and problems, continues to be a concern. There were 20 blacks in the undergraduate student body in 1977-78, but only 15 this year, with but two in the freshman class. Mr. Curtis Hubbard serves as Assistant Dean of Students and Coordinator of Minority Affairs in counseling and working with all minorities on campus, and Mr. Reginald Yancey, Assistant Professor of Accounting and a 1978 graduate of our School of Law, has become the University’s first full-time black faculty member. Washington and Lee’s appeal for well-qualified black students is obviously limited, but we need to adopt innovative recruiting techniques, and work with blacks to overcome their significant problems, social and otherwise, once they are on campus, so that we may have the benefit of that added dimension of diversity they bring to University life. Fraternities were again a major topic of concern and discussion during the 1977-78 year, as attention centered on town-gown relations in matters of noise and conduct and on the physical condition and appearance of some of the houses. In September 1977, Dan Murphy began work in the newly established, halftime position of Coordinator of Fraternity Affairs. The Alumni Board of Directors and the University Board of Trustees expressed continuing concern and interest in the condition of fraternity property; the Trustee Committee on Fraternities talked about the current problems with all fraternity presi- dents during a luncheon meeting in mid-May. The University Fraternity Inspection Committee, established in 1976, completed one inspection of all fraternity houses, and the University retained an outside professional consultant, Mr. J. E. Buffaloe of National Loss Control Service Corporation, for a safety and health survey in November. As a result of these surveys, as well as internal recommendations, several policy changes were implemented to provide for required monthly check lists from each fraternity for spot inspections by the Inspection Committee to insure correction of deficiences found during the regular, twice-yearly inspections, and for penalties for non-compliance to be imposed directly by the Student Affairs Committee rather than the 1FCc Judicial Board. As the academic year ended, the Board of Trustees approved requests from seven fraternities for over $200,000 in loans for construction and renovation of fraternity houses over the summer months. In general, interest in fraternities among undergraduate students remained high, with over 65 percent of the freshman class listed as pledges and approximately 60 percent of the undergraduate student body affiliated with one of the 15 national fraternity chapters or the one colony (Chi Psi) on campus. Lewis G. JOHN Dean of Students gnu i A pS EA OF SS UO SEN SESE A ATHLETIC PROGRAM The 1977-78 academic year proved to be one of the most successful and exciting years in the history of our intercollegiate athletic program. Thirteen intercollegiate varsity teams combined for 108 victories (a new W&L high for wins in a single year) against 83 defeats with 354 athletes, or 25.7 percent of our student population competing in our varsity programs. Eight of the 13 teams completed their seasons with winning records—cross-country 10-5, water polo 11-9, basketball 22- 6, swimming 10-1, wrestling 9-8, golf 8-1, lacrosse 9-5, and track and field 5-2. Four W&L teams won championships in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC), all successfully defending their 1976-77 titles—basketball, wrestling, tennis and golf. Four W&L athletes were named opac Players of the Year in their respective sports. Pat Dennis in basketball, Ed Rodgers in wrestling, Benjamin Johns in tennis, and Gerald Maatman in golf. All except Rodgers graduated in June and made significant contributions to our athletic success. It should be noted that two of our coaches were honored as conference Coach of The Year— Dennis Bussard in tennis and “Buck” Leslie in golf, while Verne Canfield was named District I1]-Division III Coach of the Year in basketball for the second straight year. On the national scene, four W&L teams were nationally ranked. Our tennis team was 2nd in Division III for the second year in a row. Our lacrosse team completed the year, ranked 9th nationally in the University Division to keep us in the 8 William D. McHenry Director of Athletics “Top Ten” for the past seven years in a row. We received our seventh consecutive NCAA tournament bid in lacrosse. Our swimming team was ranked 10th in Division III making it four consecutive years in the “Top Ten.” Our basketball team received honorable mention national ranking and received a bid to compete in NCAA Division III tournament (three out of last four years). Twelve athletes also achieved All- American status in 1977-78. Five of our swimmers were named to the All-American team—Keith Romich, Chip Hoke, Bob Newcomb, Jay Diesing and for the fourth consecutive year, John Hudson. It should be mentioned that John has been honored as a swimming All- American, a total of 17 different times in four years. He won two national championships in the 500 and 1,650 freestyle events as a sophomore. He certainly ranks as the greatest swimmer in W&L history. In tennis, senior Ben Johns achieved All-American status by finishing among the top four singles players in the ncaa Division III Championships, and he teamed with Stewart Jackson to finish second in the national doubles competition. Senior golfer, Gerald Maatman, was named All-American in golf for the second year and was honored as one of our two NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship recipients. The other winner was Jeff Slatcoff in football. Basketball player, Pat Dennis, was our first selection in that sport since late 50’s. He capped a sensational year by playing in the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament, the Virginia-North Carolina Basketball Showdown in Richmond, and was one of 10 players in Division II-III selected by the Ncaa to play against Mexico’s National team in Mexico City. The lacrosse players named to All-American teams this past year were Charlie Brown (2nd team), and Jeff Fritz and John Black (honorable mention). Brown and Charles Stieff played in the Annual North-South game at Cornell. At our All Sports Barbeque and Award Ceremony in May, swimmer John Hudson was awarded the Preston R. Brown Award as W&L’s Most Valuable Senior Athlete, and senior football players, Jeff Slatcoff and Mark Duncan, were co- recipients of the Wink Glasgow Spirit and Sportsmanship Award. Jim Herbert, freshman football and lacrosse standout, was named the outstanding freshman athlete award in 1977-78. It should also be noted that Sports Information Director, Bill Schnier, won seven national awards for our sports brochures as recognized by the College Sports Information Directors of America. This is certainly a noteworthy achievement for our University. Assistant lacrosse coach, Chuck O’Connell, was selected a president of the United States Lacrosse Coaches Association. This is the first time an assistant coach has been thus honored. A number of our coaching staff serve on NCAA and other important National Committees. Our intramural program under the direction of Verne Canfield continues to operate in an efficient manner in meeting the needs and interests of our student body, Last year 13 sports were offered. Over 1,000 students participated. The overall competition was keen’and top team in the league coming from the second-year law students. I-M manager of the year was senior law student, Derrick Swope. It is interesting to note that approximately 225 students were involved as supervisors or officials of our intramural activities. Present considerations are to develop more activities for faculty participation and co-educational activities. One of the most viable ways of involving our Law School with our undergraduates is through intramural participation and competition. In physical education, our skills courses have been expanded to 24 activities in addition to basic courses in fundamental development, fundamental swimming, and adaptive and corrective exercise. Students that participate in our 13 intercollegiate programs are also given physical education credit. Advanced level courses are also offered in three areas to meet certification requirments—physical education and health, philosophy and techniques of coaching, and care and prevention of athletic injuries. This makes a total of 43 course activities that are offered by the Department of Physical Education. Greater emphasis on the skills course has been placed upon activities that bring about real recreational benefits. A major problem still exists with some students putting off the completion of their requirements until their senior year even though our policy is to try to complete all PE requirements by the end of their sophomore year. At this time there are 182 rising seniors still working to complete their requirements. In the area of recreation, the use of our facilities by students, faculty families and outside groups continues to be on the rise. Some restraints have been placed on outside groups because of conflicting activities with our students. Recreational programs have been provided for town youngsters in soccer, lacrosse, swimming, and tennis under the direction of W&L faculty and staff. Some of the facilities that need to be expanded or renovated include: resurfacing lower tennis courts, expanded athletic fields, and conversion of handball courts into racquetball and squash courts. Student Club Sports include: rugby, fencing, karate, and squash. It is evident that a renewed interest is developing in aerobic training and physical conditioning. I am happy to report a significant increase in areas of jogging, swimming, and weight training by students and faculty. This goes along with the increase in recreational sports such as tennis, squash, racquetball, volleyball, and basketball. In the area of staff changes, Richard Miller has been promoted to Associate Director of Athletics and Jack Emmer to Assistant Director in charge of Financial Affairs. Gary Fallon of Princeton University joined our staff in late January as head coach of football. Dennis Bussard resigned his position as tennis coach and assistant basketball coach to go to Babson College as head basketball coach and Assistant Director of Athletics. Gary Franke has assumed tennis coaching responsibilities to go along with his wrestling assignment. A new program of internship was initiated to supplement our coaching assignments without adding to our overall staff size. The interns will come to W&L for a limited time period and will receive room, board, and small renumeration. Frank Miriello and Chuck Kroll have joined our football staff filling vacancies created by Jack Emmer and Buck Leslie. In basketball, we have added Jim Casciano to replace Mr. Bussard. In summary, we should be proud of the accomplishments, distinctions, and positive publicity that has been achieved by our teams, individual athletes, and coaching staff. We hope 1978-79 will bring continued results and successes. WILLIAM D. MCHENRY Director of Athletics Fer etry a te a a St SA a OR RE RN EE FINANCES The process of preparing Washington and Lee’s budget for current operations—predicting revenues and expenses—continues to play a vital part in the University’s overall financial picture. The process involves the University’s current fund, endowment fund, designated funds, and plant funds. The development of the revenues budget from the major sources of income— tuition and fees, investments, annual gifts, and trusts held by others— relates directly to costs of the major current operations expenses of the University, which includes all institutional salary and equipment requirements, student and public services, administration, development, and alumni affairs. The preparation of the budget, beginning with the best judgment on predicted income and continuing with the assembling and refining of the needs of nearly 100 depart- ments, proceeds over a period of several months. A tentative budget is developed from data supplied by department heads, after consultation with each staff member, and after review by the appropriate dean or division head, and then by the Treasurer and the President. The tentative budget isthen presented to the Budget and Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees. This committee, after its deliber- ations, usually makes further refinements, and a proposed budget is presented to the Board of Trustees at its May meeting. This process led to a predicted balanced budget for 1977-78, with income and expenses for current operations predicted at $10,013,830. With the myriad changes that are inevitable during a fiscal year, the 10 BUDGET — 1978-79 Current Revenue and Expenses — Unrestricted % of Budget E&G 1978-79 REVENUE: Educational & General Tuition and fees 62 $ 5,648,750 Income from Investments Endowment- Total Return 10 872,922 Current Fund & Other a 60,000 Pratt Fund 9 838,211 Income from Trusts held by others 6 520,000 Gifts: Annual 12 1,100,000 Special — Other Sources 3 30,000 Total Educational & General 100 % $ 9,069,883 Auxiliary Enterprises 1,794,321 TOTAL REVENUE $10,864,204 EXPENSES: Educational & General Instructional 62 $ 5,689,791 Student & Univ.

(A summary of the audited budget is set forth in an accompanying table.) The income figures do not reflect special non-recurring unrestricted gifts of $1,472,722. As Washington and Lee projected its current and capital needs through the decade of the 1970s, it was obvious that to maintain tuition income near 60 percent of total current expendi- tures, along with a necessary 10-percent annual increase in annual gifts, an additional $12,000,000 must be made to the University’s endowment fund.

Special unrestricted gifts of $1,472,722 were received during the 1977-78 fiscal year and are not re- flected in the revenue figures. ee the endowment additions progress at a rate to match increased costs from inflation, salary increases, equipment additions, and operational expenses for new facilities, the University may continue to face an imbalance in its yearly current operating budget. The budget for 1978-79, which is a part of this report, reflects this dilemma. You will note that expenses in excess of revenues are predicted at $88,659. As a percentage of an expense budget of nearly $11,000,000, the amount appears small; nevertheless every attempt will be made to bring the budget into balance by June 30, 1o7. Tuition for 1978-79 for under- graduates is $3,350 and in the School of Law is $3,150. These figures compare to $750 for both undergraduate and law students in 1960, and to $2,000 for under- graduates and $1,400 for law students in 1970. The endowment of the University mirrors the national market picture throughout the 1970s. With assets in 1970-71 of $20,703,832 and with net additions since that date of over $8,000,000, the market value of the endowment on June 30, 1978, was $23,503,525. These figures do not include the generous bequest of Mr. John Lee Pratt of over $12,000,000. The University, under the total rate of return concept, draws each fiscal year beginning July 1, for current and financial aid, 5.5 percent of the market value as of the preceding March 31. In summary, the University opens its doors each year with “faith’”—faith that around 1,700 qualified undergraduate and law students will be in attendance, faith 12 James W. Whitehead Treasurer and Secretary that the market will survive and possibly out-perform previous years, faith that alumni and friends will continue to give, and when possible to increase, their support of the University. Looking back over the record of 229 years, we feel strongly that we have a firm base for this faith. JAMES W. WHITEHEAD Treasurer DEVELOPMENT Washington and Lee’s fund raising activity for 1977-78—and prior years—is chronicled in the tables and lists of this annual report. By publication time, the Board of Trustees will have announced the second, and concluding, phase of a comprehensive $62-million development program for growth in annual giving, increase of endowment, improvement and expansion of plant, and inclusion of Washington and Lee in the estate plans of her alumni and friends. The first phase of the program was targeted for $36 million, toward which $37.5 million was given by the -end of 1976. The second phase, to be completed by the end of 1981, is to bring $26 million in new resources to the University. As in the first phase, annual giving is uppermost in importance with a compound growth rate of 10 percent per year needed for success. Endowment growth is in close second place because of the long- lasting, enabling effect which a larger endowment will have. Improved facilities, specifically the new library and home for the Commerce School, are major items in the section of the development program earmarked for construction. A particularly noteworthy aspect of the 1977-78 development year was Washington and Lee’s good fortune to be able to retain the services of five alumni who are representing the University in broad geographic regions primarily for fund raising but, also, for alumni affairs and student recruitment. The dedicated service of these men considerably strengthens the Board Upton Beall Staff Associate Staff Associate of Trustees’ special effort to accomplish the capital objectives (endowment and construction) of the development program.

Specifically, much effort has been directed toward better chapter organization resulting in the establishment of seven new alumni chapters. After the resignation of J. Martin Bass, ’70, the University, with the Alumni Association’s approval, employed L. C. Atkins, 68, as Assistant Alumni Secretary and he began work in July 1977, Major emphasis continues to be placed on the search for effective student orientation programs, the improvement of class organization, the revitalization of alumni chapter activities, the identification and recruitment of alumni leaders, and the improvement of all methods of communication between alumni and the University. Of special significance is the recommendation, approved by the Alumni Board of Directors in May 1977 to establish a new reunion program wherein all 10 anniversary class reunions will be held simultaneously on campus in the spring of each year, commencing in May 1979. As this report goes to press, plans to implement this program are under way. The Alumni Board of Directors, through appropriate committees working with the University’s Trustees and administrators, continues to monitor the mutual concern over the physical appearance as well as the health and safety conditions of the fraternity houses.
