Whitehead, direc- tor of the center. For the occasion, several of the flags that appear on the Hong Bowl, one of the most important pieces of Chinese export porcelain contained in the Reeves Collection, were flown from the Reeves Center roof.

A dream that began 15 years ago with 200 barrels of porcelain and 100 paintings by an unknown artist became a reality in September when the Reeves Center for Research and Exhibition of Porcelain and Paintings was officially opened on the Washington and Lee University campus. Opening ceremonies were conducted Sept. 11 on the lawn behind the Reeves Center, which was formerly a faculty residence built in the 1 840s and recently restored to become the permanent home of the University’s two highly-prized collections: the Reeves Collection of porcelain and the collection of paintings by Louise Herreshoff. Both the porcelain and paintings were given to Washington and Lee in 1967 by Mr. and Mrs. Euchlin D. Reeves of Providence, R.I. Mr. Reeves, a 1927 graduate of the W&L School of Law, and his wife had collected more than 2,000 items of ceramic art dating from the late 17th century through the first half of the 20th century. Although the Reeves Collection includes pieces from the major porcelain factories of Europe and England, the collection is particularly rich in mid-18th and early 19th century Chinese export porcelain made and decorated in China. In addition to the porcelain, the Reeves’ gift to the University included paintings done by Mrs. Reeves around the turn of the James W. Whitehead, director of the Reeves Center, conducts opening ceremonies. A Dream Comes True The Reeves Porcelain, Herreshoff Paintings Find a Home As the Reeves Center Is Officially Opened The Reeves Center century and signed mostly with her maiden name, Louise Herreshoff. Until the Reeves Center became a reality, both collections had been exhibited widely throughout the United States and, in the case of the Reeves Collection, abroad. But because no adequate place was available for their display, the porcelain and paintings remained mostly in storage between their exhibitions. The Reeves Center has changed all that. ‘‘Now, for the first time, we have a place on our campus where we can display the Reeves Collection of porcelain and also the wonderful paintings of Louise Herreshoff, Mrs. Reeves,’’ said William J. Watt, dean of the College, during his remarks at the opening. ‘‘This beautiful facility gives us the opportunity to see these two collections gathered together.”’ The Reeves Center opening coincided with a four-day symposium of the Decorative Arts Trust, a national organization created for the study and preservation of the decorative arts. The symposium, entitled ‘*The China Trade: Currents and Cross- Currents of Taste,’’ drew more than 300 participants from 25 states and England. ‘*We are indeed honored to have you on our campus and feel that the Decorative Arts Trust meeting represents the final stamp of approval on the magnificent collection of porcelain,’’ Watt added. In his remarks, Watt also paid tribute to the efforts of James W. Whitehead, secretary of Washington and Lee and director of the Reeves Center. Referring to him as the “guiding spirit’’ behind the Reeves Center, Watt said that it was Whitehead ‘‘who had the vision when he saw those 200 barrels of porcelain that this could be built into a great thing for learning and teaching at Washington and Lee.”’ Representatives of two of the nation’s leading museums and from the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation also made brief remarks at the opening and emphasized the center’s importance as a place for research and study. More than merely a building in which the collections can be displayed, the Reeves Center will operate as a research facility in much the same manner as a rare books division of a library.

Gonzales, executive vice president of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. **Now that the collection is here, scholars will come; everyday people can see the collection and perhaps become interested. But I think one of the most important things is that it is available for undergraduate study and particularly with that ‘hands-on’ approach that probably would not be allowed to happen at most of the larger places. John A. H. Sweeney of the Winterthur Museum in Winterthur, Del., compared the Reeves Center with the Garvin Collection of American decorative arts at Yale, adding that “we are happy to see this facility on a college campus (where it) will be available to undergraduates in their study of American culls. Margaret Klapthor of the Smithsonian Institution said that “‘as a curator and one who believes firmly in the use of museums for education, I must say that calling this a ‘center’ and using it as a study collection is the most important concept that you have captured. ‘*T am sure Mr. and Mrs. Reeves, above all, would be delighted to think of the generations that are going to learn by being able to look at the things they have collected and loved so much.’’ Whitehead told the audience that ‘‘it is actually in celebration of Mr. and Mrs. Reeves that we are here today. They are the people who had the imagination and the talent and the drive to bring together a study collection of this sort. . . . What you see here today began many, many years ago and required the dreams and the hopes and the prayers and the generous support of many, many people.’’ The Reeves Center will be open to the public by appointment only.

Communicating Creatively Or How to Speak (and Write) French Without Memorizing an English-French Dictionary Remember the good old days of learning a foreign language through memorization and recitation? ‘* Altogether now, class: J’entre dans la salle de classe. Je regarde autour de moi. Je vois les éléves et le professeur. Je dis ‘bonjour’ au professeur. Je prends ma place.”’ Those good old days are gone. At least in many of Washington and Lee’s classrooms they’re gone. Instead of memorizing and reciting until the words and the grammar rules are etched in the gray matter, students in intermediate French courses at W&L are learning the grammar on their own and then applying what they have learned in classroom discussions (in French, naturellement) that deal with the philosophy of Camus or the underlying theme of a popular French song. According to Russell C. Knudson, assistant professor of Romance languages at W&L, the objective is to present the grammar of a language not as a long list of rules with a longer list of exceptions but as ‘‘an essential and exciting means to communication.”’ To that end, Knudson and Alfred G. Fralin Jr., associate professor of Romance languages, have designed their own method and written their own manual in order to avoid the pitfalls of the memorization- recitation approach. _ The two-volume manual! contains 306 mimeographed pages. Entitled Pistes Grammaticales, it is an intermediate text designed for the review of French grammar. ‘‘The manual came out primarily because we could not find a text that we felt would enable us to realize our goals in language communication,’’ explains Knudson. ‘*It seems that so often language learning is little more than memorizing endless _ irregular verb endings or lists of vocabulary words that the student may never see or hear again. Or, if the student does encounter those irregular verbs and vocabulary words, the time lapse between his memorizing them and using them is such that they are forgotten.”’ And Knudson adds emphatically: ‘‘That is definitely not what language learning is all about.”’ Instead, communication is the key. ‘*T have found that today students want the language for a very practical purpose: to open doors, often in their chosen profession, that they could not open without a communicative skill in a foreign language,”’ Knudson says. They are, for the most part, in language courses to gain a communication skill. ‘At the same time, they want to know more about a foreign culture, to understand how others think, what prompts others to act and react as they do, and so on. There seems to be an increasing realization that unless we can learn to communicate with each other, we may destroy one another.”’ Therefore, Knudson suggests, many students are prompted to acquire these foreign language skills for both practical and idealistic reasons. ‘*Their goals require an ability to communicate creatively with people of a foreign culture. By “communicate creatively,’ I mean the ability to express rather precisely what you think as opposed to parroting memorized phrases from an English-to-French tourist handbook. ‘‘The only way to achieve that skill of creative communication is to know, to understand, and to be able to manipulate the structure of that language: that is, its grammar. If you possess that ability, a whole new world is opened to you.’’ What Knudson and Fralin needed was a textbook that would move the study of grammar away from that traditional realm of memorization for the sake of memorization and into the realm of acquiring those skills that are essential for effective communication. When their search for such a text proved futile, they hit upon the obvious solution: they wrote their own. Not that the two professors sat down together, brainstormed a few hours, and began pecking away at their typewriters. ‘Our collaboration has lasted seven years,’ says Fralin, ‘‘and has been a long creative process. Having created the course in 1973, Russ introduced it to me in 1975, my first year at W&L. Since that time the course has evolved radically through trial and error and also because we have been able to work so effectively together.’’ Pistes Grammaticales has been used, in one form or another, for the past three years in W&L classrooms. During the 1981-82 academic year, five different professors worked with the materials. ‘*That,’’ says Knudson, ‘‘was the real test. We spent the entire summer revising the material based on suggestions from both faculty and students.”’ The process works this way. First, the students go to the language laboratory where they listen to an episode of a mystery-thriller that has been produced by EMC Corporation. The recordings, in conversational form and complete with sound effects, simply tell a story—in French. One of the stories deals with a young woman who is a model for a French company that makes suntan lotion. As the plot unfolds, it turns out that there is an organization that controls one of the company’s scientists who is creating an extremely dangerous chemical substance that, rather than producing the perfect tan, may be used in biological warfare. It is, to be sure, a far cry from *‘J’entre dans la salle de classe.’’ ‘The story is very engaging and gives a lively point of departure for the grammar review,’ explains Knudson. ‘‘What we do is take from an episode the action that illustrates a certain concept of grammar and present that concept in light of the action. The same characters in the story appear in the grammar review, allowing the students to see, through the use of language structure, how the characters communicate and react to each other.”’ The students begin the week’s grammar review only after they have worked with the episode in the laboratory and understand the action they have heard on the tape. Next, they must complete a brief comprehension quiz to be sure they have understood the action. Then they begin their grammar study, which leads them through an analysis and understanding of how the communication was achieved. All of this is accomplished by the students independently, outside the classroom. Materials in the manual are self- correcting. Since answers appear at the end of each chapter, students can study on their own. ‘*We never take class time to do a formal review of the grammar,’’ says Knudson. Professors Alfred G. Fralin Jr. (left) and Russell C. Knudson Communicating Creatively **What we had to do was create materials that would lead the student, on his own, through the explanations, examples, and exercises in a manner you might visualize as winding a thread through a maze to give a continuity of direction. That is why we have been very lucky being able to use the materials in our classes. When we saw that the thread failed to make it through the maze, we could go back and re-write.’’ Classes using the manual are scheduled to meet five days a week, but there is no _ formal class two days of each week. On those days, students come—independently again—to take a quiz to determine whether they have mastered the material from each chapter. If a student is not satisfied with his performance, he is allowed to take a second version of the quiz on the same material at any time during the term. ‘‘Tf the second quiz grade is better than the first, the first grade is not counted,”’ explains Knudson. “‘It is interesting to see how, if you do give them the opportunity, students re-study the materials, re-take the quiz, and raise their grade. I suppose, no, I’m absolutely sure their motivation is grade- oriented, but the positive aspect—that of eventual mastery of the material—remains.’’ What the process has done, essentially, is to remove grammar study from the classroom. Says Fralin: *‘We have not eliminated grammar study. We’ve simply made it more palatable than it used to be.’’ There is no more sitting in class and listening to a professor explaining the proper method of conjugating verbs. Instead, classroom time is spent communicating through practical applications of grammatical principles. ‘*We do a lot of role-playing, a lot of reading, during the three formal class sessions each week,’ says Knudson. ‘‘We might analyze the lyrics and poetic structure of an interesting French song, for instance. When I say ‘we,’ I actually mean ‘they.’ While in traditional classes the professor talks to the students, we insist that the students talk more than we do. We listen— and correct a lot. After all, we can already speak French. The secret to acquiring a communication skill is really quite simple: you must practice communicating.” 6 W&L junior Douglas Kuhn uses Pistes Grammaticales in the language laboratory. Noting that he has frequently heard professors at other schools say that teaching intermediate French is a difficult, if not unrewarding, task, Fralin adds that ‘‘for Russ and me, and, I believe, for Professors (Francis) Drake, (Edward) Hamer, and (Van) Pate, who also give the course, intermediate French at W&L is quite enjoyable. ‘It’s fun to observe the students’ progress, and it’s great to know that although the course is demanding, the students appreciate it. When someone mentions French 161-162, I get excited because we have something that no other college has. But then, this is Washington and Lee, and we are privileged. Unlike many others in our business, we at W&L have the freedom to concentrate maximally on professional activities that interest us the most.’’ Knudson and Fralin are hopeful that their manuals will be accepted for publication and used with the taped materials for which they were written. Meantime, remember the French suntan oil model? Vous ne croirez pas ce qui lui est arrive. With a weekend meeting of class agents in September, Washington and Lee officially began the most ambitious Annual Fund campaign in the University’s history. The goal of the 1982-83 Annual Fund has been set at $1,375,000. That represents an increase of 10 percent over the goal for 1981-82, when the Annual Fund set out to raise $1,250,000 and wound up with a record total of $1,279,983. The importance of the University’s efforts in its Annual Fund program was underscored by President Robert E. R. Huntley during his presentation to the class agents. Said Huntley: ‘‘The Annual Fund is literally the best and brightest spot that the fund-raising record of the last decade has to display. It is the only area of the fund-raising effort that significantly outstripped its objectives.’’ But Huntley quickly added that the good news of past Annual Fund success is tempered by the bad, or at least sobering, news that such success must continue. **Overachievement has got to continue,”’ Huntley said. ‘‘And it’s going to get harder and harder to increase the annual fund at a rate more rapid than the rate of inflation, because you have already done so much.”’ The key, Huntley noted, is in increasing the participation level. ‘*To a degree, the constituency will want to rest on their oars,’’ said Huntley, referring to last January’s announcement that Washington and Lee successfully completed its 10-year, $62-million development program with a total of $67 million. ‘Tt is true that lots of money has been 1982-83 Annual Fund Campaign Is Under Way raised. But 10 to 11 years ago, we said lots of money would have to be raised if the school were simply to remain a vital institution. That was a fact then. It was proven to be a fact by events since that time. All we’ve done in the past 12 years or so is to raise the minimum amount of money necessary to keep this school in a vital position. Nothing has been done by way of securing the school’s future. That’s fact. It’s important that the point get across. ‘“The margin of the school’s excellence financially has to come from the Annual Fund constituencies—alumni, parents, and friends. The history of the school proves that beyond a doubt. The school’s need is not less than it used to be; it’s probably greater than it used to be. The more successful the school becomes, and the better it becomes, the more expensive it is to run.”’ Noting that Washington and Lee faces the prospect of a highly competitive environment as the scramble for students becomes keener, Huntley observed that the University will survive in such an environment “*if—and only if—it has something special to offer. It will not survive if it is a pale shadow of what the fellow can buy by going around the corner to the state institution. ‘“We’ve got to remain excellent and get better and better.”’ And in order to do that, the Annual Fund becomes perhaps the most crucial element in the University’s overall effort to remain the strong, vital institution it has always been.

He had spent 35 years in service to Washington and Lee, first as Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, and then, since 1972, as Plant Projects Manager. Under his supervision, the University campus attained its present distinction of exceptional beauty and unprecedented efficiency. Others had the dream, made the drawings, and laid the brick. But Pat Brady saw to it that it all came true. * * * A week or so after he left W&L, I visited him at his home in the country, Buffalo Forge. Pat and his wife Mary live about 10 miles south of Lexington: turn left at Fancy Hill, then up and down a winding country road under broad maples and sycamores, past a few inquisitive cattle, and a country church. After a sharp turn, you descend into the hollow of Buffalo Creek, where on the left, set back into a hill and rising serenely above the quaint ruins of the antebellum estate, is the manor house of Buffalo Forge. The drive onto the grounds begins appropriately below the house where all habitation is hidden by tall, ancient trees and the dilapidated stone structure of the former mill. The drive eases you back into a former century as you wind slowly past several outbuildings, the lawn, and then up beside the house. Nothing of the house seems to take notice of your arrival. Its tall windows and high dormers seem to gaze off into the blue distances of the Buffalo Creek Valley. There is an eerie, antique quiet to the place. Your footsteps on the boards of the long front porch resound with your own intrusiveness. No one answered the bell pull at the door (because you don’t belong here, you think). A faint clatter in one of the outbuildings brought me to the other side of the house. There, shirtless, bronze, and broad- shouldered, holding a 5-gallon gas can, stood Pat Brady, retired. He had been out mowing a pasture. He wiped his hands and extended a warm handshake, smiling with amiable embarrassment. “‘I thought it was tomorrow.” * * * Buffalo Forge has undergone a careful but friendly restoration. It is now the kind of 8 LED Plant Projects Manager Brady: someone had to be there to make it all come true. home that might appear in a magazine, but of nineteenth-century country homes.

Weaver assumed ownership of the forge, which was located at the spot where long ago Buffalo new law school building, Lewis Hall. Buffalo Forge: for Pat and Mary Brady, an ongoing project. Creek met the North River Navigational Canal. Weaver and his wife were childless so they willed the place to a niece and her husband, Brady’s great grandfather, in 1861. 2 Photographs by Sally Mann The home has been passed down from son to son ever since. For the obligatory discussion of his life, Brady put on a shirt and took me to the library, a sober, masculine room lined with old volumes and filled with the darkly serious furniture of the home’s original era. Here was where Weaver kept his accounts. Lying open on a heavy secretary in one corner of the room is Weaver’s old ledger, each account inscribed in the slow, graceful hand of a man whose labor was his art—as with his remote descendant, perhaps, seated now somewhat restlessly across the room. A quiet, modest man, Brady speaks of his career—first as a student and then as an administrator at W&L—in comments that seem like marginalia to a larger purpose. ‘‘I went to W&L in 1932 to study electrical engineering. But then after my first year W&L discontinued electrical engineering. With that, a good many students transferred to other schools, but about five of us stayed on to take degrees in general engineering.’”’ How were things different then? Brady looks away for a minute, searching the fifty- years-ago for something graspable. ‘‘Well, freshmen had to wear beanies during their first semester, and then for the rest of the year had to wear hats.’’ Brady colors slightly. “‘Of course we had a dress code then. And if you didn’t live up to it you’d get called on it and somebody would yell at you. The Honor System was pretty important—and, / think more strictly enforced than it is today. Of course, a lot of people would argue with me on that.’’ Brady shrugs; the time is gone. ‘“Then there were the usual characters on the faculty. Dr. Smith, a math professor, was legendary in his ability to humiliate and awe his students. And Dr. Dickey in engineering, Dr. Howe, and Dr. Houston—Hale Houston. I think he died, yes, while I was a student.’’ Brady trails off for a few moments. ‘‘There seemed to be an epidemic of deaths during that period . . . Dr. Campbell, a geology professor, Dr. Lyle, an engineering professor, then Hale Houston.”’ What were the high points of your undergraduate years, I asked, but Brady was still deep in his recollection: ‘‘. . . and then Coach Wilson died—he was the football coach. High points? Oh, I can’t say as I had 9 Pat Brady, ’37 any high points!’’ Brady laughs with genial resistance. The question seems too much directed at himself. * * * ‘‘After graduation I took my degree south and worked for 10 years in a Carolina engineering firm.’’ Why did you come back? He smiles. ‘‘Well, Mr. Mattingly said I got homesick.’’ Mattingly, ‘‘a hard taskmaster’’ according to Brady, was W&L Treasurer at the time and oversaw the buildings and grounds operation. “‘I guess I didn’t much care for the industrial environment, and both my wife’s and my parents lived in this area and were beginning to need a little looking after. Then Dr. Dickey told me about the opening at W&L, so I took the job as Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds. That was in 1947.”’ Brady’s 35 years at Washington and Lee brought him a variety of responsibilities, from general maintenance to overseeing the major construction projects on campus. *“The really big construction began with President Huntley’s administration. We had had several building projects prior to his program—Parmly, duPont, the new gym, Evans Dining Hall and the new dorms—but in 1972 the administration decided they needed someone full-time to work with the architects and contractors, so I became Plant Projects Manager. ‘‘On these projects I served as sort of an owner’s representative, a liaison between W&L on the one hand and the architects and contractors on the other—and sometimes a peacemaker between the architects and the contractors.’’ Laughter. *“The program was supposed to last six years, after which time I would return to Buildings and Grounds. But it lasted a little longer, and then I reached retirement age, so I never went back.’’ Brady chuckles because it all sounds sort of flat and uneventful—35 years of paying attention and making sure: lawnmowing, treetrimming, plumbling, remodeling, roadbuilding, heaving up walls and putting in windows and doors. And then in the late summer of 1982, after the President has announced his retirement and the last project—a new parking lot for the gym—is completed, Brady takes off his hardhat, and that’s that. Done: Lewis Hall, the new library, the heating plant, Woods Creek 10 Examining William Weaver’ s old ledger: the delicate art of local history. Apartments, the Commerce School, the Graham-Lees renovation, the Reeves Center, etc. So he goes home to Buffalo Forge and sits down for a moment with a what-do-you- want-to-talk-to-me-for look on his face. But that’s Pat Brady. *K * *K President Huntley on the lawn outside Lee Chapel, September 21, in a small ceremony marking Brady’s retirement: “I’m really not going to make much of a speech— nobody here needs to be told anything about Pat Brady. It’s hard to think of Washington and Lee without thinking of Pat. That’s in part because he’s been here a long time— hardly any of us remembers when he wasn’t here, except maybe Mr. Latture. But the major reason is that for all those many years Pat has served the University in so many capacities, and in all those capacities he has done all of us on this campus more favors than we can count. Not just personal favors, but institutional favors. He has made Washington and Lee work in a thousand different ways, for which he will never get adequate credit, except perhaps from those of us who remember those things so well. So Pat is a very special person to everybody here. He is also one of the true gentlemen of Lexington and Washington and Lee, a truly gentle man—skilled, competent, but bringing to what he does a sense of humor and a respect for other people. ‘I’m glad to say that we have been able to prevail upon Pat not to divorce himself from us entirely. He has agreed to assist from time to time in special ways that only he can. So we’re not here to say goodbye to Pat, just to join him for a cup of punch after a couple of presentations.’’ Applause. Brady received two sets of photographs, | one of the several buildings he helped construct, and the other of the dogwoods on campus photographed by Frank Parsons close up on each of the four seasons. What can you say? * *K * In speaking of Brady’s service to his community, Huntley may have been referring to Brady’s long tenure as City Councilman and then Mayor of Lexington. He served through difficult times, the 60s and early 70s, years of civil unrest. Brady got talked into running for City Council on a slate advocating a more liberal response to civil rights and a change in local government. ‘*Those were protest years. There were many unpleasantries between townspeople, and the Council always seemed to get caught in the middle. Civil rights issues got people pretty mad at each other. The Council realized that it had to take a stand. Back then the state was resisting integration but we decided that integration was the law of the land and that Lexington should go ahead with it. Of course some people thought we were going too fast and others that we were too slow. But I think the record will show that Lexington had fewer problems finally than most places.”’ : Brady didn’t want to be mayor—after 8 years he had left local government. *’But then the mayor at the time got appointed judge, so somebody had to do it.’’ Brady returned to the fray, the gentle man in the middle of it all—neighborhoods, schools, student activism—meeting every matter, as he still does, with quiet competence and good humor. He served seven years. *‘Let’s see,’’ he muses, searching for some significance to his administration, “*that was when the town of Lexington became a city.”’ * * * Pat and Mary Brady moved out to TE: Buffalo Forge in 1977. His parents had been gone for several years, and the place needed life inside it. Brady had retired finally—and more resolutely—tfrom local politics. Perhaps he was moving now, as some men do, into an historical period. In this case, it was local history, his own. A board member of the Rockbridge Historical Society, Brady knew the whole sweep of time in the Valley, how, when, and by whom all the old buildings in town got built, and he could tell you all you needed to know about pig iron and tobacco farming back then. So he moved out to Buffalo Forge because something—one’s place in the sweep of time, perhaps—required it. He began at once to restore the house and its furnishings, Brady on the final morning of 35 years at W&L: paying attention and making sure. he and Mary taking a small apartment on the second floor as living quarters and giving over the rest of the house to restoration. There is, of course, another context for the construction involved in the renewal of the old Brady home. By the late 70s, Brady had already been Plant Projects Manager— supervisor, negotiator, interpreter, inspector—too long for a man just itching to hammer nails himself. You can almost see him returning to Buffalo Forge each evening humming with ‘‘projects,’’ his jaw set and his eyes and hands going over the woodwork and the cracked plaster. And then, on the weekends, off somewhere in some room banging and sawing, sanding and varnishing, bringing it all back. And there’s one more context: in 1979, PBS television filmed a documentary on antebellum industry and slavery. Buffalo Forge was the location. Charles Dew, an historian from Williams College, put all the facts in order; then Daren McGavin and Brock Peters told the story, alternating between the viewpoints of William Weaver and his slaves. At the end of the program, Pat and Mary Brady are standing on the front lawn. * * * So is that why you’re doing all this? Brady laughs. ‘‘That’s like one of those religious questions. People ask themselves, ‘Why am I here? What is my destiny?’ Well, I don’t know what my destiny is. I just enjoy doing it, seeing it preserved. I suppose it has some heritage value, but I really don’t know what will happen to it. Maybe our daughter will want to live here someday. Somebody will make use of it, I guess.”’ He thinks about the question a few moments more. He is retired now. ‘‘But sometimes I wonder, why don’t I forget about all this and just travel?’’ But before he allows himself an answer, he is on his feet again. “‘Let me take you around.’’ The house is all high ceilings and plank flooring, with thick stone walls. Many of the windows have the heavy, rippled panes of another century, such that when you look through them the world does indeed seem different out here. Each room is filled with antiques, true to the home’s heritage, and the tock-tocking of old clocks. ‘*. . . I think that the original house ended here and these rooms were added later. . . . That little building just off to the side of the house was the old kitchen. We use it as a Storage shed now, but I’m going to make it into a museum for old tools and utensils. .. . Those buildings over there were the slave quarters. . . . Mrs. Weaver was pretty hard on the slaves. After she died, people said that her ghost walked the house at night. It’s true that things still seem to get moved somehow from where we know we’ve put them. And we used to find this door open all the time even after we had closed it.’’ He pauses for a moment, just long enough to let the mute, unhonored past hold its mystery, then winks: ‘‘But I fixed the latch, and now I don’t find it open as much anymore.’’ 11 by Joseph P. Potente, ’53 On the Road Again W&L’s Glee Club Earned Rave Reviews During an Eight-Day Spring Tour to Germany ‘*Guten morgen!’’ With that cheery greeting on Easter Sunday morning last April, 38 members of Washington and Lee’s well-traveled glee club stepped off a plane in Frankfurt, Germany, slightly bleary-eyed from the journey but eager to begin the club’s sixth concert tour abroad in the past 12 years. For some of my fellow glee clubbers and for our director, associate music professor Gordon P. Spice, this was the second trans- Atlantic glee club tour. The first was in 1980 when the club toured England. Our journey to Germany was to be more extensive, however: in seven and a half days, we would log more than a thousand miles on Germany’s fine railway system, would sing for approximately | ,000 enthusiastic Germans, and, thanks to the expertise of Robert B. Youngblood, associate professor of German at W&L, would be expertly guided through much of Germany’s fabled history by visiting some of her most important cities, museums, and churches. All this, plus the traditional German delights of good food and drink (you can even get a stein of beer with your Big Mac), provided by a warm, hospitable people, awaited us as we sped away from the Frankfurt airport, bound by train for our first stop—Munich. The planning for the tour had taken more than a year and had involved extensive correspondence and personal visits by Professor Youngblood, who arranged all the concerts, housing, and transportation within Germany as well as personally accompanying, guiding, and translating for us. He was even a superb restaurant guide, pointing us toward the best places to eat and several of the country’s legendary beer halls. We gave concerts in Eichstatt in Bavaria and in Bayreuth and Bamberg in Franconia. In each city, our overnight housing was provided by German families and coordinated through particular individuals with whom W&L, through Professor Youngblood, has had long association. In assigning us to families, an effort was made to be certain that those singers who did not speak German, like myself, were housed with families who spoke some English. Even so, the barrier that I had worried about before leaving Lexington did appear when I 12 in Wurzburg. met my family in Eichstatt—but not for long. Despite the language barrier, we got along wonderfully. I never thought talking with anyone could be so exhausting, yet rewarding. This personal contact with the families was perhaps the most memorable part of the tour for all of us. Each time we left one city and boarded the train for the next stop, our host families would see us off at the train station. Gifts and addresses were invariably exchanged. And there was always the Professor Robert Youngblood (center in Bavarian hat) explains the architectural splendor of the Residenz traditional German waving of white handkerchiefs from train windows and station platforms (until the handkerchiefs were out of sight). We toured by day and sang by night. Though the time was relatively short, Professor Youngblood kept us moving from one magnificent church to another, from one castle to the next, always imparting his boundless knowledge of German cultural history. Take, for instance, the Residenz, a baroque castle in Wurzburg that contains more than 1,000 bedrooms. Why so many bedrooms? As Professor Youngblood explained, the prince-archbishops loved to throw parties and needed places for their guests to spend the night. Imagine changing the sheets! Each city on the tour left distinct impressions. Following our concert in Eichstatt, we were the guests at a party given by our hosts and featuring the town’s Bavarian brass band as well as its male chorus, the Bose-Buben-Club—or Bad Boys Club. In Bayreuth, we were all extremely impressed with and intrigued by our tour of two of the world’s most famous opera houses: the Festspielhaus, Richard Wagner’s opera house, and the Markgrafliches Opernhaus, one of the oldest (dating to 1748) and finest baroque theatres in Germany. Just walking through these famous buildings was a wonderful experience. What made it even more delightful was the opportunity we were given to stand on the stage and perform one of our concert selections in these splendid buildings with their unbelievable acoustics. Our concert in Bayreuth was given at the Schlosskirche (or Royal Church). The program that evening began in the balcony of the church, where the organ accompanied several compositions. From there, we moved to the front of the altar for more sacred selections, sung unaccompanied. The secular part of the concert was performed in the church hall, a castle tower adjacent to the sanctuary. Although we were concerned that half our listeners might not follow us to that location for the rest of our concert, we actually performed to a standing-room-only crowd there. Our final concert of the tour was given at the University of Bamberg, where the audience was unquestionably the most enthusiastic we had seen. The applause grew louder with each selection. When we sang the “‘W&L Swing,’’ the crowd reacted with the same fervor that the ‘‘Swing’”’ customarily generates in Lee Chapel. At the end of the concert, the audience would not stop applauding and stamping their feet. Professor Spice had to send ‘‘Southern Comfort,’’ the glee club’s small ensemble, back to the stage for several encores. That our tour was as much a success for Sampling the local brew while being serenaded by the town band at Eichstatt Chief Mayor Ludwig Kartner of Eichstatt (center) is flanked by German professor Robert y oungblood ge: (left) and Glee Club director Gordon Spice in post-concert ceremonies in Eichstatt. our audiences as it was for us could best be determined by the reviews that our performances received in German newspapers. The review from Bayreuth, for instance, praised the glee club’s ‘‘alacrity in dynamics’’ and added that ‘‘the chorus responded with great agility and effect, rhythmic certainty, very pliantly, extraordinarily differentiated dynamics, and range of tone.’’ The Spices remained in Europe after the tour as did Professor Youngblood, who directed the University’s spring term in Germany, and six of our members, who participated in one of W&L’s European spring term abroad programs. Consequently, our departure from the Frankfurt airport was an emotional one as the Spices bade a final farewell to the 13 graduating seniors in the group. Back in Lexington eight days and a few hours after we had left, we were all exhausted but filled with great memories of a successful tour. 13 Recent Gifts Merit Scholarship Funded; Audio-Visual System Made Possible; Biology Department Aided Philip Morris scholarship fund honors Huntley Washington and Lee University has received a $100,000 grant from Philip Morris Incorporated to create an endowed scholarship fund that will honor W&L President Robert E. R. Huntley. Huntley, a member of the Philip Morris board of directors, will retire as Washington and Lee’s president on December 31 after 14 years in the post. In establishing the Philip Morris Merit Scholarship at W&L, Philip Morris Incorporated is recognizing Huntley’s exceptional service to Washington and Lee as well as his service to Philip Morris. The Philip Morris Merit Scholarships will become part of Washington and Lee’s program of honor scholarships, which are President Huntley: honored by scholarship fund. 14 awarded primarily on merit and are designed to attract to the University students who demonstrate unusual promise for future service and leadership. Each Philip Morris Merit Scholar will receive financial aid in the full amount of Washington and Lee’s annual tuition. The first such scholar will be named for the 1983- 84 academic year. ‘*This generous gift from Philip Morris continues that company’s long tradition of support for private higher education, particularly in the Commonwealth of Virginia,’’ said James M. Ballengee, rector of the Washington and Lee board of trustees. ‘Honoring President Huntley in this manner is entirely appropriate since the scholarship fund will enable Washington and Lee to expand the financial aid program that has grown so impressively during Bob Huntley’s presidency.’’ William M. Hartog, director of admissions at Washington and Lee, noted that the Philip Morris Merit Scholarship program will be an important addition to the University’s expanding program of honor scholarships. ‘*Our ability to maintain the high academic standards that have always been the preeminent concern of our admissions effort is greatly enhanced by scholarship programs such as the one created by Philip Morris Incorporated,’’ said Hartog. The Philip Morris Merit Scholarships will be awarded on a competitive basis. Applicants’ secondary school records and College Board examination scores will be considered as will their records of achievement and leadership in extracurricular activities. The scholarships will be awarded by a special committee of the University. The $100,000 grant from Philip Morris Incorporated is the second major gift the company has made to Washington and Lee. Philip Morris previously made a $100,000 gift to the renovation and remodeling of the Commerce School Building. That gift has been recognized in the naming of one of the Commerce School Building’s classrooms as the Philip Morris Classroom. Northen gift funds audio-visual system for auditorium Washington and Lee University has received a $77,000 gift from Mary Moody Northen, Inc., a private foundation established by Mrs. Mary Moody Northen of Galveston, Texas, for an audio-visual system that will be used primarily in the University Library’s Northen Auditorium. Funds from the gift will be applied toward the purchase of equipment and programming materials that will enable the University to make maximum use of the exciting audio- visual potential that is part of the auditorium’s design. The 100-seat Northen Auditorium and its expansive lobby area are named in honor and recognition of Mrs. Northen’s earlier gift of $350,000 in support of the $9-million undergraduate library. ‘*Because of Mrs. Northen’s continuing generosity, we will be in a position to equip the auditorium already bearing her name in Board of Trustees Each member of the Board of Trustees is elected to a maximum of two consecutive six-year terms.

Successive institutions were Liberty Hall Academy (1776), Washington Academy (1798), Washington College (1813), and Washington and Lee University (1871). George: Washington saved the school from financial ruin in 1796 by making the first substantial gift to its endowment. Robert E. Lee saved the school from threatened obscurity after the Civil War by serving as its president from 1865 until his death in 1870. . Purpose: The University is a private col- lege for men, devoted at the undergradu- ate level to educational excellence in the liberal arts and sciences and in business, and in the School of Law, which is coedu- cational, solely to the highest quality of professional legal education. It is dedi- cated to remaining one of the nation’s outstanding teaching colleges. It remains small by choice, making possible close associations between students and fac- ulty in a climate of learning that stresses the importance of the individual and his personal honor and his responsibility to serve society through the productivity of his training and talent. Governance: The University is governed by a Board of Trustees of 26 members and is independently and privately financed. President of the University: Robert E.R. Huntley, B.A., LL.M. President-Elect of the University: John D. Wilson, B.A., M.A., Ph.D. (Assumes Office February 1, 1983) Divisions: The College (humanities and natural sciences); The School of Com- merce, Economics, and Politics (econom- ics, politics, accounting, and administra- tion); The School of Law. Location: Lexington, Virginia is a historic city of 7,500 population situated in the central part of the Great Valley of Virginia, one of the nation’s most scenic areas. Lexington is also the home of Virginia Military Institute, the post of which abuts the campus of the University. Campus: The main campus consists of approximately 55 acres. In addition, there are about 40 acres of playing fields and 210 acres of unimproved land. There are 29 principal buildings, including the historic and picturesque Washington College group that forms the familiar Col- onnade, facing famous Lee Chapel. The front campus was designated a Na- tional Historic Landmark in 1972, joining Lee Chapel which had already been so designated.

About one-fourth of the student body is from Virginia. Enrollment, Fall 1982 The College 1,081 School of Commerce, ~ Economics, and Politics 244 The School of Law 364 Special and Exchange Students 25 Total 1,714 Freshmen: Of the 360 students entering in the fall of 1982, 81 percent ranked in the top two-fifths of their high school classes. The average Scholastic Aptitude Test scores of the entering class were 565 Verbal and 610 Math. Honor System: The most enduring influ- ence on the lives of Washington and Lee men is an Honor System which is adminis- tered entirely by the students themselves. The only penalty for violation of the Honor System is permanent dismissal from the University. Student Government: Students are given a large measure of freedom in gov- erning their own affairs and have repre- sentatives on most faculty committees. A 12-member Executive Committee of the Student Body, elected by the students, is the principal student government organi- zation and the sole administrator of the Honor System. The Student Activities Board and the Interfraternity Council are active in helping students plan social, cul- tural, and recreational functions. Faculty The University places its highest priority on recruiting and retaining a faculty of the highest distinction. Undergraduate Faculty: Full-time 132 Part-time 6 Law Faculty: Full-time 17 Part-time 13 Percentage of undergraduate faculty with earned doctorates (excluding physical education, military science, and library): 84 percent. Although faculty members regard teach- ing as their primary duty, virtually all en- gage in research or creative work. In 1981-82, faculty members produced 12 books and monographs, 64 published ar- ticles, 65 papers, and a number of book reviews, poems, musical compositions, and works of art. Many faculty members are editors or contributing editors of learned publications and hold offices in academic or professional societies. Financial Aid The University’s objective is to be able to award student financial aid equal to the demonstrated need to all who require it. In the typical aid package, a student is re- quired to borrow no more than $1,500 of his computed need and receives the bal- ance in the form of scholarship grants and an on-campus job. | Aid 1981-82 Students receiving aid 350 (Includes need-based and merit scholars) Percentage of student body need-based aid 20% need-based and merit scholars 26% Total amount awarded $1,600,000 Financial Total Budget 1982-83 $16,956,700 Endowment Market Value 1982 $34,129,434 Income and Expenditures as a Percent- age of the 1982-83 Educational and Gen- eral Budget: Income Tuition and fees 64% Endowment earnings 9% Gifts for current operations 11% Income from trusts and other miscellaneous income 10% Pratt fund 6% Expenditures Instructional 60% Student services 10% Administrative 9% Plant operation and maintenance - 16% Other expenses, debt retirement and interest 5% Endowment per student 1982-83 $20,327 Development Program The University completed a ten year De- velopment Program in December 1981 by exceeding the $62-million goal by $5 mil- lion. The principal improvements provided were Lewis Hall, new home of the School of Law; Warner Center, an addition to the gymnasium; a new University library building; a new home for the School of Commerce, Economics, and Politics; the remodeling and restoration of Tucker and Newcomb Halls, and many other campus improvements including expanded stu- dent housing; $23 million was added to the endowment; the Annual Fund was nearly quadrupled during the ten-year period. Since the completion of the De- velopment Program, emphasis has been placed on increasing the number and size of Washington and Lee’s scholarships and on the continued enlargement of the Annual Fund and the endowment. University Library The University’s new undergraduate |li- brary, which opened in January 1979, is the largest academic building on the cam- pus, holding more than 568,000 books, government documents, periodicals, se- rials, microforms, and cassettes. The li- brary also contains the Lee Archives, the University Archives, and important family papers of those who have contributed to the development of the Valley of Virginia, the State of Virginia, and the nation. The building has space for 500,000 books alone, plus all other collections, and pro- vides seating for as many as 800 stu- dents, including individual study areas for more than 600. Locked study rooms, seminars, smoking lounges, and an au- ditorium are also within the facility. Athletics Washington and Lee bases its intercol- legiate athletic program on the premise that sports are an integral part of the total educational process. As a member of the NCAA Division III the University does not award athletic scholarships; all financial aid is determined by need and academic merit. Over 270 undergraduates compete in Wé&Ls 13 varsity sports: baseball, bas- ketball, cross country, football, golf, indoor track, lacrosse, outdoor track, soccer, swimming, tennis, water polo, and wres- tling. The University also sponsors junior varsity teams in several sports. W&L is a charter member of the 14- college Old Dominion Athletic Conference founded in 1976. The Generals compete in nine of the ODAC’s ten men’s sports. The J.W. Warner Center, with its main gymnasium, pool, locker rooms, weight rooms and handball/racquetball/squash courts, is the hub of athletic activity. Out- door facilities include Wilson Field (stadium, natural surface field, and track), Smith Baseball Field, an eight-court ten- nis center, 8000-meter cross country course, and several practice fields. Fraternities There are 16 national social fraternities on campus, and. a large portion of social life revolves around the fraternity chapters. About 65 percent of students affiliate with fraternities. The chapters are Beta Theta Pi, Chi Psi, Delta Tau Delta, Kappa Alpha, Kappa Sigma, Lambda Chi Alpha, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Kappa Sigma, Pi Kappa Alpha, Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Chi, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Zeta Beta Tau. Alumni The University’s 17,000 alumni are widely dispersed throughout the nation. The Washington and Lee Alumni Association is the organization of all alumni and it is represented by a 16-man Alumni Board of Directors, elected by the membership. Alumni Chapters, organizations of local alumni, have been established in 70 lo- Calities or areas. Alumni, through an annual giving pro- gram, provided funds which cover about 10 percent of the. University’s current operating expenses. Special Programs The University offers a variety of pro- grams of exceptional academic merit and practical value: Honors Work, Robert E. Lee Undergraduate Research Program, Six-week Spring Term, Combined Plan Program in Engineering, Independent Work and Interdepartmental Majors, Area College Exchange Program, East Asian Study Program, Pre-Professional Ethics Program, Foreign Study Programs, 3-3 Program in Law, and 3-2 Forestry Pro- gram leading to a Master’s Degree at Duke University. Distinctive Features Washington and Lee has several features which it may truly call its own or which are rare on other campuses: A century-old, cherished Honor System that works. The Fancy Dress Ball, a mid-winter dance weekend that is recognized as one of the most notable in the country. A quadrennial student-organized and student-conducted Mock Convention that has a remarkable record of accuracy in picking the presidential candidate for the party out of power. Educational "ition Costs Undergraduate $5,800 Law $5,800 1983-84 Average Room and Board $2,720 Mrs. Mary Moody Northen when she attended the dedication of the University Library in 1980. such a manner that it can become a center of intellectual and cultural activity on the campus,’’ said Washington and Lee president Robert E. R. Huntley of the gift. Although the audio-visual equipment purchased with the gift will be designed for primary use in Northen Auditorium, the nature of the equipment is such that it will lend itself to other audio-visual needs throughout the campus. The equipment will include a video projection system, a satellite television antenna, a video tape editing console, a computer graphics generator, a multi-image controller for slide projections, and carefully selected programming materials. Washington and Lee will make the equipment accessible to neighboring Virginia Military Institute through a program of cooperative involvement. Mrs. Northen is a director of the American National Insurance Company, Moody National Bank, and Gal-Tex Hotel Company. She is also, among other things, a trustee of the Moody Foundation, the Sam Rayburn Foundation, the Galveston Historic Foundation, Hollins College, and VMI. She is a director of the Texas Historical Foundation and the Medical Research Foundation of Texas. Fund for biology honors memory of Dr. Roberts Mrs. Henry S. Roberts of Lexington has made a $10,000 gift to Washington and Lee to create the Dr. Henry S. Roberts Fund for Biology at the University. The fund is named in honor of Mrs. Roberts’ late husband, a former professor of biology and department head at Washington and Lee. Dr. Roberts, who died in 1974, joined the Washington and Lee faculty in 1964 after 18 years on the faculty at Duke University where he had been director of graduate studies in zoology. He served as chairman of the University’s curriculum committee when the University was in the process of developing its new system of degree and course-credit requirements and its innovative academic calendar, a 12-12-6 plan the University continues to observe. While head of the department of biology, he reorganized the department’s course offerings substantially including the introduction of a series of advanced seminars. He also developed an arrangement with Duke University’s Marine Laboratory to permit biology and chemistry students from Washington and Lee to study marine science at the laboratory on the North Carolina coast. In 197] Dr. and Mrs. Roberts travelled throughout the country during his sabbatical leave when he visited biology departments at numerous colleges to evaluate Washington and Lee’s program in comparison to the programs he found at other institutions. A native of Macon, Ga., he earned his bachelor’s degree from Mercer University and his Ph.D. in zoology from Duke. He was widely known as an authority in the field of cytokinesis, the changes which occur in protoplasm during cell division. ‘‘Mrs. Roberts’ gift is an especially fitting memorial to Pat Roberts as he was always aware that Washington and Lee, being a private institution, was heavily dependent upon financial support from friends and alumni of the University,’’ said Thomas G. Nye II, head of the department of biology at Washington and Lee. Mrs. Roberts made her gift through the University’s pooled income fund. Mrs. Henry S. Roberts discusses details of her gift to Washington and Lee with William J. Watt (left), dean of the College, and Thomas G. Nye II, head of the biology department.

Organized by Riva Castleman, director of the department of prints and illustrated books at the Museum of Modern Art along with assistant curator Audrey Isselbacher, the exhibition demonstrated the manner in which painters of the time turned to printmaking as they attempted to create an art that would be truly American. Faculty activity —William J. Watt, dean of the College at Washington and Lee, has been named chairman of the National Dean’s Conference for 1982-83. Watt, a member of the national organization since 1973, will preside over the annual meeting scheduled for July 24-27, 1983, on the campus of Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Okla. The conference’s topic will be ‘‘The Qualities of Academic Leadership.’’ —Halford Ryan, associate professor of public speaking at Washington and Lee University, has published his third major article in the Quarterly Journal of Speech. Ryan’s article, entitled ‘‘Kategoria and Apologia: On Their Rhetorical Criticism as a Speech Set,’’ argues that speeches of accusation motivate speeches of apology. In his article, Ryan uses the historical example of Pope Leo X versus Martin Luther to help illustrate his theory. The essay was developed as a project in a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Seminar that Ryan attended at Ohio State William Z. Watt University in 1981. —Charles V. Laughlin, professor of law emeritus at the Washington and Lee University School of Law, is a major contributor to a new volume on legal education which has recently been published by the University Press of Virginia. ‘‘Legal Education in Virginia, 1779-1979” by W. Hamilton Bryson traces the history of legal education in the Commonwealth through biographical sketches of all deceased law teachers in Virginia from George Wythe, who first started teaching law in 1779, to those who died before the beginning of 1979. Laughlin, who retired from active teaching at W&L in 1977 after 37 years at the W&L School of Law, contributed 27 of the biographical sketches contained in the volume. —Washington and Lee University law professor Thomas L. Shaffer was a principal speaker for a one-day conference at the University of Baltimore School of Law in October. Shaffer was one of three principal speakers for the event, which is entitled ‘*Conference on the Professional Responsibilities of Teachers in Local Law Schools.”’ The conference was held in the University of Baltimore’s new Law Center in downtown Baltimore. O’Brien joins W&L faculty Fabius P. O’Brien has been appointed assistant professor of administration in the School of Commerce, Economics, and Politics at Washington and Lee University. O’Brien joins the Washington and Lee faculty after serving in the department of management of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg. He was a graduate research assistant there in 1981-82 and an instructor in 1980-81. A native of Southport, N.C., O’Brien received both his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Virginia Tech. He was previously employed as assistant to the dean of the Virginia Tech College of Business and has also been a research associate with the CETA Education Research Project at Virginia Tech. O’Brien is co-director of a study of the attitudes of future managers toward labor unions. That study 1s being conducted at Virginia Tech. He is a member of the Academy of Management, the American Psychological Association, and the Industrial Relations Research Association. He has been elected to Omicron Delta Epsilon, the international honor society in economics.
