Y. i ON THE COVER: A collection of scenes from this years Commencement exercises—a happy time for all. The law and undergraduate graduation ceremonies were held separately this year because of calendar differences: 116 law degrees were awarded and 271 baccalaureate degrees. Coverage of the events begins on Page 4. Photographs by Sally Mann and Staff. Dr. Hodges is the founder and director of Washington and Lee’s program in professional ethics of medicine, journalism, and law. He received his undergraduate education at Millsaps College and his Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina. This article is adapted from his baccalaureate sermon to W&L’s graduating students and their families in June. The Wall Street Journal this past January reported on a class at the Harvard Business School. The headline on the article said “To some at Harvard, telling lies becomes a matter of course.” The subhead read: “Untruths can improve grade in business school class.” The article detailed the method of teaching in a negotiations course. If in negotiating a business deal with another student, a student was able to gain an upper hand by lying, he got the high grade and the deceived student a low one. The teacher preferred to call the practice not lying but “strategic misrepresentation. ” Another author, Albert C. Carr, employed another euphemism for lying; he called it “bluffing.” Writing in the Harvard Business Review, Mr. Carr claimed that the ethics of business are not those of society, but rather those of the poker game. He cited the case of a salesman who found himself without a job. “The man was 58, and in spite of a good record, his chance of getting a job elsewhere in a business where youth is favored in hiring practices was not good. He was a vigorous, By Louis W. Hodges Professor of Religion HONOR AND THE TANGLED WEB A Baccalaureate Discourse On the Moral Anatomy Of Deceit and Its Bearing Upon the W&L Vision Dr. Louis W. Hodges healthy man, and only a considerable amount of gray in his hair suggested his age. Before beginning his job search he touched up his hair with a black dye to confine the gray to his temples. He knew that the truth about his age might well come out in time, but he calculated that he could deal with that situation when it arose. He and his wife decided that he could easily pass for 45, and he so stated his age on his résumé.” At that point Mr. Carr added the following judgment: “This was a lie; yet within the accepted rules of the business game; no moral culpability attaches to it.” In her recent treatise on lying, Dr. Sissela Bok finds that deception appears increasingly to be a way of life. It is common practice for many doctors, for example, to tell what some regard as the “benevolent lie.” The instructions in one hospital advised the doctor that if a patient with a certain type of fever asks what his temperature is, the doctor should say, “Your temperature is normal today.” By that he would mean not that the thermometer read 98.6, but that for someone in precisely that patient's condition, namely one with a high fever, his temperature was normal. Professor Monroe Freedman has concluded that since the lawyer s complete obligation is to his client, in some cases the lawyer should not reveal to the court the fact that the client’s testimony is perjured. HONOR AND THE TANGLED WEB “He who deceives us impinges on our freedom, our autonomy, our capacity to be human and build our life. . .. He who deceives us thus assaults our humanity.” In literature, stories about deceit are plentiful. In the Garden of Eden, for example, the serpent deceived Eve by getting her to believe that God Himself first deceived. The implication of the serpent’s statement to Eve is that God gave Adam and Eve the wrong reason for his prohibition of eating the forbidden fruit. When Abraham journeyed into Egypt with his wife, Sarah, he feared that the Egyptians would so want his beautiful wife that they would kill him and take her. He therefore lied by presenting her as his sister. The Pharaoh did take her, but he did not kill Abraham. Iago deceived Othello concerning Cassio’s drinking and got Cassio discharged. Thereby Iago began weaving his tangled web. Iago encouraged Cassio to ask Desdemona to plead with Othello on his behalf. Iago then used Cassio’s meeting with Desdemona as a first step in his deception of Othello about her fidelity. Partly by outright lie and partly by innuendo, Iago played deftly on Othello’s self-doubt, on his uncertainties about the ways of Venice, his lack of skill in soft conversation, and his advancing age. Iago was, of course, successful in deceiving Othello, thereby prompting his murder of Desdemona and his own suicide. In theological literature we find many moral analyses of deceit, especially of lying. Augustine, for example, regarded lying as a mortal sin which was never to be condoned. He concluded that one should not even lie to a robber, though telling the truth to the robber may assist him in laying low his victim. Aquinas and Kant reached a similar conclusion about the obligation not to lie even to the robber. On the other hand, Paul Lehman, a modern theologian, thinks differently. He poses a question about the duties of the person who has a car to sell. The seller is not obligated to be truthful to the buyer. Lehman’s tortuous logic is that “If the buyer and the seller of the car come through the transaction to a true consideration of each other's predicament, then they do not merely transact business. The business transaction becomes instrumental to their discovery of each other as human beings.” You will look long and hard before you find a more tangled web than Lehman weaves. Another theologian, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, poses this dilemma. A Jewish friend in Nazi Germany comes to your door asking for asylum, and you grant it. The SS a few minutes later knocks on your door and inquires about your friend. You have, in Bonhoeffer’s view, a positive moral obligation to deny knowledge of his whereabouts. Bonhoeffer then justifies this conclusion by claiming that this is not a case of lying, since you are “being true’ to your friend. While you and I might agree with him on the obligation not to betray your friend, we would perhaps not feel obligated to go through the charade of denying we had lied in order to do so. Deceit comes in all sizes and shapes. Sometimes it takes the form of pure and simple false statement or untruth, sometimes the “white lie,” but sometime the lie of literal truth. The story is told, though I have not been able to document it in detail, of a conversation between John Dean and Jeb Magruder. Magruder consulted Dean about his testimony at a hearing. Magruder was sure the committee would ask him about the secret fund in Haldeman’s safe. He asked Dean’s advice. Dean is said to have told Magruder, “Simply tell them there is no secret fund.” In justification of that advice Dean continued: “You know about the fund, don’t you? Haldeman knows about it; Ehrlichman knows about it; and so do I. Now, when so many people know about a fund it certainly is not secret.” Aware as we are, then, of deceit as a theme in literature and as a reality in life, perhaps it would be useful to examine its anatomy, its effects, and its roots. It is curious that when the schoolmen enumerated their lists of “deadly sins,” deceit was rarely among them. Perhaps the reason is that they viewed deceit as merely an evil means to deeper and more ignominious ends, greed or lust, for instance. But is it not more? Is a willingness to deceive not a fundamental violation of the Jewish and Christian obligation to love and serve others? Deceit is—in its intent and in its effect—a form of aggression against the deceived. The logic is this: Among the absolute prerequisites for a genuinely human life is freedom to select and pursue one’s goals. The human being is in some measure an autonomous, self-directing being. But in pursuing our goals, we act toward the world only in terms of our perception of that world. Thus it is vital that our perception of the world around us conform as closely as possible to the way that world really is. A correct perception of the world around us is a precondition for freedom to pursue our goals effectively. Hence it follows that he who deceives us impinges on our freedom, our autonomy, our capacity to be human and build our life. He who plants falsehoods, half-truths, and misperceptions in our minds deprives us of the precious precondition to a genuinely human life. He who deceives us thus assults our humanity. Since this is the catastrophic effect of deceit, it is clearly a violation of our deepest moral obligations. Hence deceit is not merely an innocent means to some sinful end such as lust or greed. It is, instead, intrinsically a frontal attack on he “But what about the deceiver? Ultimately, his willingness to deceive deprives the deceiver of freedom also. . . . Being untrustworthy, he loses his capacity to trust.” people through the reduction of their freedom. It is a powerful form of assault. This is clear in Othello. Few people, and especially Iago, would have dared attack mighty Othello with the sword. But by deceit even puny Iago could create false images in Othello’s mind which robbed him of his capacity to trust Desdemona. With trust destroyed, love evaporated. In its place grew resentment and revenge. These led to Othello’s murder of Desdemona and to his suicide. Deceit, then, is finally an attack on others and thus contrary to Jewish or Christian moral duty. But what about the deceiver? Ultimately, his willingness to deceive deprives the deceiver of freedom also. He who lies easily slips into the routine of being a liar and of living the lie. He begins to lie to cover his lies. He is afraid, afraid of being found out. Sir Walter Scott was right: y Oh, what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice tp deceive! i But the plot thickens for him who would deceive. Given the tendency to project ourselves into others, the liar becomes increasingly unsure of the truthfulness of others. Being untrustworthy, he loses his capacity to trust. And as that capacity is diminished he feels isolated, uncertain, and fearful. Thus the freedom of the liar is effectively curtailed. He who is not free to trust is not free to be human. These observations suggest that deceit is destructive to both the one deceived and the deceiver. But what happens when the deceived and the deceiver are one and the same person? What about self-deceit? Self-deceit may well be its most powerful and destructive form. One may deceive oneself, for example, about talents and abilities. If we believe ourselves to have vast talents when we do not, the result is paralyzing frustration. If we believe ourselves to have fewer talents than we in fact possess, the result is underachievement and indolence. Since human life depends upon our knowing ourselves accurately, to be deceived about oneself may be the ultimate failure. So much for the moral anatomy of deceit. This brings us, at last, to the point of this article. This University is a very special place. The student here is exposed to vast information—and some of it takes. The student at Washington and Lee is exposed to the great ideas and artifacts of human history—and some of them inspire him. But those things the student could find or do quite well by himself, or at some other place. Those things require a library, some museums, and a laboratory, not necessarily a university. A university is far more than an information machine. A good university is a community in which we grow not merely intellectually but as persons, as human beings. That personal growth occurs as we come to trust and to be trusted. We have sought to build such a community at Washington and Lee. In part we succeed; in part we fall short. But the student at this University lives his life for three years, or four, or seven, in a special place where the vision remains of human beings living together in mutual trust. We expect ourselves to be “gentle men.” We expect ourselves not merely to trust others but to be ourselves worthy of their trust. These expectations—and they are both difficult and noble— are nowhere more concretely manifested than in the Honor System. But just as honor and trust are fragile, so is an honor system. It is open to misperception. To see the Honor System as merely a “code of conduct” is to misperceive it. Codes of conduct have as their only legitimate end the shaping of what one does. Honor has instead also to do with what one is. To perceive the Honor System merely as a way of preventing lying, cheating, and stealing is also to misperceive it. Insofar as it prevents those things, it performs a mere police function. To see it in that way is to debase honor to a mere utility. Further, if we perceive the Honor System as valuable because of its utility in diminishing lying, cheating, and stealing, it will gradually cease to have even that function. It would then receive no more respect than any other system of regulating human conduct. Nor would it deserve more respect than that. Instead, community at Washington and Lee is rooted in a vision. It is a vision of what life might be like when men are honorable, when men’s lives flow from an aspiration, the hope not merely of acting honorably but of being honorable. The power of that vision to transform us is a direct result of its simplicity. On the one hand, it envisions the dignity and worth of every human life. On the other hand, it demands that measure of humility which nurtures in us a willingness to serve the needs of people. Being honorable is the basis for every true human community. That, of course, is what covenant is about in the Old Testament, and the Kingdom of God in the New. In this sense, Washington and Lee, conceived as it was in a minister’s study, is not unmindful of its Christian heritage. At Washington and Lee, one is part of a special community, and remains a part of it even after leaving. Our community is special because of our vision of what it is to trust. That vision, like many of life’s more vital lessons, is one which cannot be taught; rather, it must be caught. It can be caught only by living in acommunity where it lives. We have lived there—students, alumni, even faculty, staff and administration. Iago did not. COMMENCEMENT 1979 387 Men and Women Receive Degrees; Three Alumni, Benefactor Are Honored Washington and Lee awarded diplomas to 387 men and women and conferred four honorary doctorates in commencement exercises this spring. The honorary degrees were presented to three prominent alumni and a generous W&L benefactor: Dr. Harry Lyons, ’22, of Richmond, dean of the School of Dentistry at the Medical College of Virginia from 1951 to 1970; Dr. John David Maguire, president of Old Westbury College, a component of the State University of New York; Miss Ruth Parmly of New York City, who gave $1.5 million to Washington and Lee four years ago and for whose father Parmly Hall, the “new” science building, is now named; and John F. Watlington, former president, board chairman and chief executive officer of Wachovia Bank & Trust Co. of Winston-Salem, N.C., now chairman of Wachovia's executive committee. Commencement-week activities began with the traditional baccalaureate sermon, delivered this year by Dr. Louis W. Hodges, director of W&L’s program in pre-professional ethics. His remarks are the substance of an article in this issue. The School of Law awarded 116 Juris Doctor degrees at the end of May. Law diplomas were presented in a ceremony separate from that for the undergraduate divisions because of the difference in academic calendars. President Huntley was the speaker at the law ceremony, which was followed by a reception for graduates, their families, and the law faculty. Undergraduate graduation exercises took place 10 days later, beginning with a ; Dean Roy L. Steinheimer addresses law graduates at exercises held 10 days before the undergraduate commencement. commissioning ceremony for 13 graduates of the Reserve Officer Training Corps program. Major General John R. D. Cleland, director of plans and policy for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was the speaker. Gen. Cleland’s son, Gary, was among the ROTC cadets who were commissioned as second lieutenants. Cleland earned Distinguished Military Graduate honors. In his remarks to the 271 B.A. and B.S. graduates and their families, President Huntley warned against blind reliance by the American people on leaders whose principal trait seems to be charisma, a leader—elected or otherwise—‘whom one greatly admires or is attracted to,” to Dr. Harry Lyons, Doctor of Science | John David Maguire, Doctor of Letters Louis McFadden and his son Louis P. Jr. put on a father-son act at the law commencement. They both received Juris Doctor degrees. Another McFadden son, Kevin, received a B.A. degree. A. Calvert, B.A. With them is President Huntley. whose beliefs one may become “vicariously committed.” The risk in following charismatic leaders, Huntley said, is that it “creates merely an illusion of democracy. It abandons belief in the wisdom of the democratic process and substitutes for it belief in the wisdom of the charismatic leader. ... Im not sure I much prefer an elected monarch to one selected in some other way.” Huntley said he was vexed at the currently fashionable attacks on “what used to be called the American Experiment’ by “distinguished and learned persons’ who believe it is “failing and must eventually be supplanted. The conclusion is not usually stated in quite that bald fashion,” Huntley said, “but if 6 Dr. G. Edward Calvert, '44, of Lynchburg (second from left) was the proud father of two graduates, Matthew J. Calvert (left), Juris Doctor, and Robert Trustee E. Waller Dudley, ’43, ’47L, stands behind a solid WUL family group: son Luther H. Dudley, ’76, and his wife Sug, daughter of former Trustee Jack Crist, ’45, and son Waller T. Dudley, 74, and 79 law graduate. A happy group from Jackson, Miss., were Susan Elliott, law graduate Robert P. Wise, Joseph P. Wise, ’74L, Louise Wise Lucas, Mrs. Sherwood Wise, and Sherwood W. Wise, '32, ’34L. you listen or read carefully you will have no trouble finding it.” “The crux of the American Experiment, he said, is that “the principal sovereign is the individual’ —not an easy responsibility; it may well lead to weariness and eventual abandonment of the “burden of self-rule.” A vacuum then inevitably results, he said, which in turn is almost certain to be filled by the government. “If the state does not become authoritarian, the void left by the default of the people would be enormous. “But [the American] government, since it is constructed on an opposite premise, is especially ill suited to become the monolithic authority in our national life. . . . As we lose the common personal and moral values we once shared, as ancient faiths are withered or distorted, as the problems of a modern, overcrowded society press in around us, we are increasingly likely to yield to that tendency to give up a personal sovereignty which we no longer know how to exercise. Washington and Lee, however, stands in an effort to counter that tendency, Huntley said; the University “embodies in some almost-mystical way those qualities upon which the American Experiment depends.” And, like the American Experiment, W&L is “a fragile enterprise. If those who love it do not nourish it, it will not long survive.” The Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award, conferred by the faculty on the Sons of alumni who received Juris Doctor degrees stand behind their fathers: Joseph B. Martin, 49 (Channing J.); E. Waller Dudley, ’43, ’47L (Waller T. ); G. Edward Calvert, ’44 (Matthew J.); Mrs. Jerome Greenberg, husband ’46, ’48L, deceased (Richard L. ); Robert T. Vaughan, ’42, ’44L (Robert T. Jr.); Louis P. McFadden, ‘79L (Louis P. Jr.); Sherwood W. Wise, ’32, ’34L (Robert P.); Frederick T. Bromm, ’42 (Frederick W. ). H arry Franklin Hoke III, winner of the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award, displays plaque for his parents. student who has most conspicuously excelled “in high ideals of living, in spiritual qualities, and in generous and disinterested service to others,” was presented to Harry F. Hoke III of Richmond, a summa cum laude graduate in mathematics and physics who was captain of the swimming team and a junior-year member of Phi Beta Kappa. Robert E. Atkinson Jr. of Kingstree, S.C., was the 1979 valedictorian. He was graduated with majors in history and philosophy, and had a perfect 4.0 grade- point average—only the sixth W&L man to achieve such a record in recent years. Dr. Lyons, who received the honorary Doctor of Science degree, is a member of the Class of 1922. He is a former president of the American Dental Association, the American College of Dentists, and the American Association of Dental Schools. The dentistry building at the Medical College of Virginia is named for him. The honorary degree citation for Dr. Lyons remarked that Washington and Lee's regard for him is already so great that “it would be impossible to obey the dentist's familiar admonition to ‘open a little wider, please!’ ” Dr. Maguire is in his second five-year term as president of Old Westbury on _ Long Island. He is a 1953 Phi Beta Kappa graduate of W&L and was a Fulbright Scholar in Scotland in 1953-54. He earned one of only eight summa cum laude degrees ever awarded by Yale University’s Divinity School; he also earned his Ph.D. in theology and psychiatry from Yale. Susan H. Gray, Juris Doctor recipient, with her alumnus father, George H. Gray, ‘SOL. W&L conferred the honorary Doctor of Letters degree on him. Dr. Maguire became president of Old Westbury in 1970 after 10 years at Wesleyan University in Connecticut. Last fall Change magazine, one of the most influential education journals, chose him as one of its 100 “most respected emerging leaders in higher education.” Miss Parmly’s father, Charles Howard Parmly, was the founder of City College of New York's engineering school and was its first professor. Neither Miss Parmly or her father had any direct connection with Washington and Lee—though her family knew Mr. and Mrs. Robert Parker Doremus, who benefacted the University in 1914 after visiting the campus on a Southern trip. Miss Parmly’s gift was one of six of Sons of alumni who received academic degrees stand behind their Ls EEE fathers: Roland E. Cote, ’46 (John); Marvin P. Meadors Jr., °55 (Marvin III); J.

McFadden, ’79L (Kevin). more than $1 million Washington and Lee received during the $36-million first-phase development program. She said she chose to endow Washington and Lee because it stands for the same commitment to teaching excellence and to honor which her father cherished. Miss Parmly herself is a graduate of Vassar and of Columbia, where she earned the M.A. degree. Columbia's Institute of French Studies later published her thesis, The Geographical References in the “Chanson de Garin le Loherain.” Miss Parmly received the honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree. Watlington was valedictorian of W&L's 1933 graduating class. He joined Wachovia in that year and by 1946 had become senior vice president and chairman of its Zounds! It's Omega Again for Z.Z. Zadins If your initials are Z.Z.Z., you're ac- customed to being at the end of every line. And so it was at graduation. Zin- tars Zigurds Zadins, a B.A. graduate in geology, was 271st out of 271 to receive his diploma. Actually, his di- ploma itself was rather extraordinary. The diploma-printer didnt have enough capital Zs (who does?), so Mr. Zadins sheepskin had to be run through the press three times. There was a move among some of the faculty and administration to move Mr. Zadins to the front of the line as a graduation gift, but strict alphabetarianism pre- vailed in the end. Charlotte, N.C., board. In 1956 he became president and chief executive officer of the parent company, and in 1974 was elected chairman of the board. Since 1977 he has been chairman of the executive committee. He is a member of the board of the Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges, the 12-member joint fund- raising group of which W&L is a founding member. Watlington is also chairman of the board of visitors of Wake Forest University’s Bowman Gray School of Medicine and a member of the boards of Union Theological Seminary in Richmond and Duke University s Graduate School of Business Administration. He received the honorary Doctor of Laws degree. alae GAZETTE W&Lss Admissions Situation Brightens in Both Quantity and Quality Admissions reports Fifty-six percent of the applicants to whom W&L offered admission last spring confirmed their decision to attend W&L— an extraordinarily high “yield,” admissions officials said. The number of applications the University received for undergraduate admission was 1,085 this year, up 11.2 percent from the 1978 figure, (which was the lowest in many years). The decline in 1978 was attributed to the addition of a formidable essay requirement as part of the application form, but the University later concluded that the essay requirement had a negligible effect either on the size or the academic quality of the class that actually enrolled, and that the essay apparently had the effect of discouraging applications primarily from poorlyé ° qualified students and students who, were not strong in their desire to attend W&L to begin with. ” This year, in addition to the rise in the absolute number of applications, the University had a sharp jump in the number of “top-ten-percent” students who confirmed their decision to enroll at W&L. Of the 369 students who confirmed their admission, 27 percent rank in the top 10 percent of their secondary-school classes. A year ago the comparable statistic was 22 percent. And the “top-20-percent” figure jumped even more sharply, to 67 percent this year from 56 percent in 1978. Sixteen of the freshmen who will enter W&L in September were valedictorians or salutatorians in their high-school classes, and five of the entering students are National Merit Scholars. The School of Law, meanwhile, received 1,177 applications for 115 places in the entering class. The application pool was down 9 percent from the figure a year ago—a smaller decline than the nationwide drop in applications to all law schools, which is estimated at 10 to 14 percent. Judging by their undergraduate grade- point averages, the entering law students are the smartest W&L has ever had. The mean grade-point is 3.38 on a 4.0 scale, up from last year’s 3.27. The average score on the standardized Law School Admission Dr. William Buchanan Test (LSAT), however, dropped eight points to 641 from last year’s record 649 average. (The 1977 and 1976 LSAT averages were 639 and 641.) Faculty promotions Promotions in rank for eight members of the undergraduate faculty will become effective Sept. 1. Promoted from associate to full professor were James J. Donaghy of the physics department, John K. Jennings of the journalism department, and J. Ramsey Martin of the philosophy department. Promoted from assistant to associate professor were John R. Handelman of the politics department, John M. McDaniel of the sociology-anthropology department, Pamela Hemenway Simpson of the art department and H. Thomas Williams of the physics department. Isabel MclIlvain, the University’s sculptor-in-residence, was promoted from instructor in studio art to assistant professor. More faculty news Two W&L professors, Joseph B. Thompson of the psychology faculty and William Buchanan of the politics department, are the authors of a new text/workbook on applying statistical data Dr. Joseph B. Thompson to psychology. Their 310-page book, Analyzing Psychological Data, was published by Charles Scribner’s Sons. The book focuses on actual experimental research procedures and data because, the authors note, “we believe that early exposure to the practice of research and statistical evaluation of results is the best way to learn.” Topics covered in the book range from “research outside the laboratory” to ways of gauging the accuracy of statistical evidence. Thompson is a Ph.D. graduate of the University of Wisconsin and has taught at W&L since 1966. Buchanan, a 1941 W&L graduate whose Ph.D. is from Princeton, returned to W&L in 1966 as head of the politics department. Among his books is Understanding Political Variables, similar to the new book he and Thompson wrote, also published by Scribner’s (1969; revised edition, 1974). Charles W. Turner, professor of American history, is the author of two articles on Virginia history—“Bishop William Taylor of Rockbridge—Bishop to the World,” published this summer in South California Quarterly, and “Virginia Central Railroad,” published in Virginia Cavalcade, the journal of the State Library. S. Todd Lowry, professor of economics, is also the author of two recently published articles, “Recent && caneree Literature on Ancient Greek Economic Thought,” in the American Economic Association's Journal of Economic Literature, and “A Nightmare in Introductory Economics,” in the Journal of Economic Issues, published by Michigan State University. Hoke wins NCAA scholarship Harry Franklin Hoke III, a 1979 graduate of Washington and Lee, has been awarded a $1,500 NCAA post-graduate scholarship. He will use the scholarship at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, where he plans to obtain a doctorate in mathematics. He is the sixth W&L student-athlete since 1970 to receive the award and the second to be a swimmer. While at W&L, Hoke earned four varsity letters in swimming and two in water polo. He graduated second in a class of 305 and was the recipient of the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Medallion, awarded at commencement each year by the faculty to the graduate who excels in high living ideals, spiritual qualities, and generous service to others. 25 graduate returns as visiting lecturer Among visiting scholars at W&L during the Spring Term was Dr. Herbert Pollack, ‘25, currently a special consultant to the State Department on radiation. He spoke on the topic “Moscow Microwave Radiation of the U.S. Embassy: Media Report and Actual Facts.” Dr. Pollack, a retired professor of clinical medicine at George Washington University, was the first to measure acid base—pH— in a living cell. After graduation from Washington and Lee he earned his medical degree from Cornell and a Ph.D. in medicine at the University of Minnesota. Area radio workshop The W&L journalism department sponsored a month-long program this summer for Lexington area high-school students in radio station management and operation. The students studied the techniques and problems of broadcasting management under Robert J. DeMaria, assistant professor of journalism and 10 Justice Lewis F.

(Shenan- doah, for example, one of the best of these magazines from which I have taken two stories, prints approximately one thousand copies of each quarterly issue.) —wWilliam Abrahams, in the introduction to Prize Stories 1979: The O. Henry Awards Dr. Robert Coles, child psychiatrist and author, is, by his own description, one of those “Yankees who went south and fell in love with the region.” He is a loyal subscriber to several “good southern literary quarter- lies”: The Sewanee Review... The Southern Review . . . The Georgia Review; and Shen- andoah.” —"“Where Opinion Makers Get Their Opinions,” Esquire, June 5, 1979 a9 WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY Lexington, Virginia 4450) FALL TERM September 5 September 12 f° October 4-6 October 25 November 9-11 November 16 November 26 December 12 December 18 WINTER TERM January 7 January 18 February 15 February 18 February 25 April 5 April 11 SPRING TERM April 21 May 8-10 .
