On the cover: The drawing of Washington Hall bespeaks the charm and lasting beauty of the Wash- ington and Lee Front Campus, which has now joined Lee Chapel in being designated a National Historic Landmark. The drawing, one of a group of campus scenes, was executed by Marion Junkin in 1927, the year he was graduated from Washing- ton and Lee, and is used here through his courtesy. The group of drawings was published in 1933 in the form of a calendar distributed by the Univer- sity. Dr. Junkin has been professor of art at W&L since 1949. “A special > = 4 “ - — part of » America's . heritage’ Sy : Me = 5 ‘S > SAW NX * .<& 6 : e ” . < > - & .. . ve . is ° ay! ; i Yj / The campus of Washington and Lee Univer- sity has been declared a National Historic Land- mark by the U.S. Department of Interior. Washington and Lee is only the third campus in the nation to receive this designation, the highest that can be conferred on a private site by the federal government. The citation said in part: “Washington and Lee University . . . is composed of architecturally harmonious and spatially related neoclassical buildings that together form one of the most dignified and beautiful college campuses in the nation. “The central and most significant element of the complex, the Colonnade, along with the flanking faculty residences, gives the impression of being the product of a single architectural concept. But in reality this splendid succession of columned and pilastered buildings is an evolutionary product of a building program extending over nearly 150 years. While the mod- ern University plant exceeds well the historic core, the antebellum buildings have remained the visual symbol and psychological heart of this venerable institution. “Even though the individual buildings that make up Washington and Lee have gone through extensive changes in the course of their growth and development, the integrity of the University complex as a whole has survived. It is a special part of America’s heritage judged by the Secre- tary of the Interior to possess significance for all Americans and to be worthy of a place on the Department of Interior’s roll of landmarks com- memorating the nation’s past.” John M. Stemmons, chairman of the Wash- ington and Lee Achievement Council, announc- ed the designation in Richmond on June 2 at a dinner honoring Frances and Sydney Lewis, who recently gave the University $9 million. The Achievement Council, composed of ‘Trustees and several vice chairmen, is providing the leadership for the first phase of the University’s $56-million, decade-long Development Program. The program includes $1.1 million for the restoration and preservation of the historic Front Campus area. The Front Campus is the second part of Wash- ington and Lee to be declared a National His- toric Landmark. Lee Chapel, built by Gen. Lee and the burial place of him and his family was so designated in 1961. The major elements included in the Historic Landmark designation are: Washington Hall, built in 1824 by the noted architect Colonel John Jordan, primarily of brick made from earth on the campus itself. Payne and Robinson Halls, flanking Washing- ton Hall, built in 1831 and 1842 respectively, in the same modified Greek Revival architectural style as Washington Hall. Four faculty homes, two at each end of the campus, constructed in 1842, one of which is the famous Lee-Jackson House. Newcomb Hall, home of the School of Com- merce, Economics and Politics, completed in 1882 and scheduled for renovation in the De- velopment Program. Tucker Hall, which currently houses the School of Law, constructed in 1936 to replace an earlier law building that burned in 1934. The President’s House, built in 1867 under General Lee’s supervision as his postwar home and the home of every Washington and Lee president since then. The designation will be commemorated later with the official presentation of a National His- toric Landmark marker. September, 1972 by Rupert N. Latture Old George, campus sentinel, has seen a lot of history Why is the Washington and Lee campus worthy of being a National Historic Landmark? Rupert N. Latture, professor of politics emeritus and an adviser to President Huntley, gives many of the answers in the following article—with the help of the eyes of Old George. Recently the occupants of Washington Hall were startled by a strange noise seemingly coming from the top of the building. Old George had just heard ex- citing news and was trying to dance a jig. At that moment, March 16, 1972, the an- nouncement had been made of a gift of $9 million by Frances and Sydney Lewis to build a magnificent new law school complex on the Washington and Lee campus. This thrilling piece of news was enough to justify Old George’s attempt to kick up his heels. The announcement that affected Old George so deeply leads us to recall some of the interesting happenings occurring within the range of vision of this sentinel of the University grounds. The statue of Old George is a splendid example of folk art, embodying the like- ness of the Father of our Country, who was the first substantial benefactor of Liberty Hall Academy. The statue was carved from a large pine log by Capt. Matthew Kahle, a Lexington cabinet- maker, in 1842. The figure is eight feet tall and depicts Washington wearing a Roman toga. One of the shows Old George in a sad state of re- accompanying pictures pair. For more than a century numer- ous coats of paint protected the statue from the elements. Recently, however, insects have bored into the old pine, thus attracting woodpeckers to dig unsightly holes in their search for tasty morsels. a Scientific treatment has been applied in an effort to halt further depredation and deterioration. For many years it was customary for members of the freshman class to prove their mettle by climbing up to the cupola to paint Old George green, red, or some garish color. This bold act constituted a challenge to members of the sophomore class who felt obligated to protect the gleaming white figure from any form of desecration, particularly by freshmen. Sometimes dangerous struggles between representatives of the rival classes took place in the limited area around the cup- ola within sight of uneasy spectators. But now the approach to the roof and cupola is firmly closed against venturesome pranksters. The college bell is housed in the tower which supports the statue. It has sum- moned students to classes for more than a hundred years and still performs that function faithfully. In former years, fresh- men had the privilege of ringing the bell after football victories thus giving Old George a thorough shaking. That practice was discontinued when the old rope was replaced by an electrically operated de- vice that rings the bell automatically. What emotions Old George must have experienced in peeking at Maj. Thomas J. Jackson as he strolled among the cam- pus trees, hand in hand with Eleanor Junkin, the fair daughter of Dr. George Junkin, president of Washington College! After Maj. Jackson and Miss Junkin were married, Old George continued to observe Prof. Jackson pass back and forth from the Virginia Military Institute to the home of his father-in-law, where he lived for a time. This residence was later oc- cupied by Jackson’s revered chief, Gen. Robert E. Lee, when he later came in 1865 to serve as president of Washington College. In April, 1861, after two months of de- bate, the Virginia State Convention voted to secede from the Union. Washington College students promptly raised the “Southern flag’ on a pole which they at- tached firmly to the statue of Old George —whereupon President Junkin asked the students to take the flag down. The stu- dents did not act. President Junkin then convened the faculty and asked those gen- tlemen to order the students to bring the flag down. The faculty did not comply with the request, and a few days later the distraught Dr. Junkin, with part of his family and some of his personal belong- ings, mounted a carriage and drove speed- ily into Pennsylvania, where he remain- ed until his death. Several years later Old George looked on when Dr. Junkin’s re- mains were brought to Lexington for burial a few yards from the grave and monument of his illustrious son-in-law, Stonewall Jackson. In June 1861, a body of Washington College students began military drill un- der the puzzled gaze of Old George. ‘They were the Liberty Hall Volunteers. These spirited young men were trained briefly, equipped, uniformed, and sent down the Valley to serve as a bodyguard for Gen. Stonewall Jackson. The Volunteers fought as a unit “from Manassas to Appomat- tox.” They participated in numerous battles and were cited a number of times for their bravery in combat. Many of them sacrificed their lives in the service of Virginia and the Confederacy. On May 15, 1863, Old George was deeply saddened to see the Corps of Vir- ginia Military Institute cadets escorting the body of the beloved Stonewall Jack- son back to his home town for burial, fol- WeL ww Old George undergoing one of September, 1972 his periodic faceliftings. e lowing his death from wounds received in the Battle of Chancellorsville. This es- centric professor had ridden into lasting fame as a brilliant tactician for his swift and surprising movements of troops in the Valley Campaign and recognition as one of Lee’s greatest lieutenants. A story of truly epic quality is associ- ated in a very special way with Old George, showing why he is regarded as a sort of charismatic symbol guarding the University community. Ki Williams, Class of 1915, relates that one day during his senior year he met Dr. Harry Campbell, dean of the University, in front of Lee Chapel. When asked what he was looking at so intently, Ki replied that he was just admiring the pleasing appearance of the white pillars and pilasters gleaming in the bright sunlight. Dr. Campbell then told him this story! At the time of Hunter’s Raid on Lexington in June 1864, Henry A. duPont, a young captain of artillery, was directed to demolish the Virginia Military Institute and Washing- ton College. The guns were turned against the Institute, and the buildings were promptly destroyed and several re- sidences were set on fire. The artillery de- tail then moved in the direction of Wash- ington College. At this point Dr. Camp- bell’s father, Prof. John Lyle Campbell, arrived and called Captain duPont’s at- tention to the statue of George Washing- ton standing in a stately pose on top of the principal building of the Colonnade. This thoughtful and sensitive officer took a good look at the white-columned build- ings resting on the crest of the ridge. He shook his head and declared that he could not bring himself to fire on a building which supported the life-like statue of the Father of our Country, par- ticularly since the building had no mili- 3 Ws tary importance. It is interesting to note that among the uninvited visitors to the campus that day were two future Presi- dents of the United States, Col. Ruther- ford B. Hayes and Lt. William McKin- ley. Books, laboratory equipment, and a valuable store of minerals were carried away, but the landmark buildings were spared. A bronze plaque in Washington Hall memorializes Capt. duPont’s service to Washington and Lee University. It would strengthen the credibility of this tradition if it had been mentioned in the memoirs of Capt. duPont (later United States Senator from Delaware). One quiet September afternoon in 1865, Old George caught a glimpse of Traveller walking slowly into Lexing- ton, bringing his famous master who was to begin five years of matchless leadership as president of Washington College. A tender and trustful companionship be- tween Gen. Lee and his noble iron gray mount had developed during their three war years together and was observed re- peatedly by Old George as they left the campus in the late afternoons in search of solace along the scenic roads of Rock- bridge County. Several weeks after Gen. Lee arrived, Mrs. Lee and members of her family came from Richmond by can- alboat to live in what has become known as the ‘‘Lee-Jackson house.” I'wo years later Old George kept his eye on the workmen who were engaged in the con- struction of a chapel under the personal supervision of Lee himself. The chapel occupied a place deep in Lee’s heart be- cause it reflected his own earnest Chris- tian faith and his concern for the spirit- ual life of his students. He was a regular attendant at chapel services, and he main- tained his office on the ground floor of the building. By casting his eyes south- 4 He has a good view of Lee Chapel.

The remains of the South’s incomparable leader lay buried in the basement of the chapel for 13 years awaiting the erection of the mausoleum where now rest Gen. Lee, his father, Gen. “Light Horse Harry” Lee, and other members of the Lee family. In 1875, the beautiful Valentine statue was completed in Richmond and brought Completion of Tucker Hall in 1936 (right) brought harmony to his domain. to Lexington by canalboat. Old George looked on as almost the entire body of Washington and Lee students provided the power to pull the wagon bearing the heavy marble statue from Alexander’s Landing to the campus where it was stored. Eight years later when the mau- soleum was completed the statue was put in place with an appropriate unveiling ceremony in the presence of many distin- guished guests. In the spring of 1908, Old George saw two strangers arrive on the campus, hav- ing driven by carriage from Hot Springs to see Valentine’s recumbent statue of Lee and to see what Washington and Lee ilar es els hi University was like. They stopped a stu- A ue a a” dent on the walk to ask for directions. The polite young man put his books down and accompanied them on an in- edo defer e e 4 Ro AES formative tour of the campus.

In the summer of 1961, Old George was almost unnerved as he watched the roof of Lee Chapel come tumbling down. Workmen were busy removing the slate shingles so they could be returned to position after the installation of steel rafters. Cement floors replaced the well seasoned pine boards, and other fireproof materials were introduced into the struc- ture. Some of the old timbers had begun to sag, and the fire hazards were alarming. A thorough restoration was required to guard the Chapel against deterioration and possible loss. Funds for this timely and significantly rehabilitation were pro- vided through the generosity of the Ford Motor Company Fund. The Fund’s pur- pose was to preserve a unique and treas- ured landmark as a source of inspiration to a stream of pilgrims who visit the shrine year after year. In May 1970, a wave of hysteria swept over college campuses throughout the country when United States troops enter- ed Cambodia. A large number of Wash- ington and Lee students gathered in front of Lee Chapel right under the be- wildered gaze of Old George to protest the expansion of the war in Indochina. Student spokesmen made some _ hastily conceived demands, such as the discon- tinuance of classes. President Huntley spoke to the excited students, and so did some responsible student leaders. Within a few hours calm prevailed, and the entire episode passed without any violence or disruption of classes. Old George is visibly moved by the re- spectful gesture of the neatly uniformed V.M.I. cadets as many of them salute September, 1972 shBP SLI Ty ns - LO SKS aha FSIS AR 2 \/ ‘oo | KA /) ( a) CNY AY | St MO x ~ Veo \ j 5 SSK Lge OSS Cae ee aadadl e Ny Q iN aN Joun S Qaaman /P?#7 ee And ONCE when Dr: Gaines spoke...

The friendly ex- change of greetings among Washington and Lee students is a source of pride to Old George, too. Soon Old George will be confronted with a problem. During all these years his face has been turned to the southeast. Now, how can he see what is going on at his back? A thoroughly modern library is to be erected just behind Washington Hall, almost at Old George’s heels. ‘The impressive Lewis Hall and housing units for married and unmarried students will be built across Woods Creek. New roads, bridges, and extensive landscaping will be of exciting interest. Surely a way will be found to enable the venerable Old George to continue his responsible oversight of the enlarged campus as it expands westward. Thanks to the Lewises Approximately 500 persons gathered at Richmond’s John Marshall Hotel on June 2 in tribute to Frances and Sydney Lewis, who last March gave Washington and Lee $9 million in support of the School of Law’s portion of the University’s $56-million De- velopment Program. The testimonial dinner, which coincided with the spring meeting of the Board of Trustees, was preceded by a reception given by Dr. and Mrs. John Newton Thomas and U.S. Supreme Court Justice and Mrs. Lewis F. Powell Jr. Dr. Thomas, rector of the Board of ‘Trustees, presided at the dinner. Justice Powell and Lewis are also ‘Trustees. The occasion brought together many persons prominent in the fields of law, business, politics, and educa- tion. Among the guests were mem- bers of Virginia’s Congressional delegation, representatives of the State Supreme Court and of other state courts of record, members of the State Legislature, commonwealth officials, and numerous heads of Virginia’s business, industrial, and banking establishments. Presidents of seven of the 12 colleges which are members of the Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges were present together with many of the Foundation’s trustees. Also attending were the persons who, along with the Trustees, are performing important volunteer work for Washington and Lee, including members of the Achievement Coun- cil, the Alumni Board of Directors, Parents’ Council, the Estate Planning Council, and the Robert E. Lee Associates. Prominent among the guests was John W. Warner, a Trustee, who was recently appointed Secretary of the Navy. He had returned just the day before from Moscow, where he had gone to sign a naval treaty with Russia, one of the accords reached during President Nixon’s visit to the U.S.S.R. WeL —— A highlight of the evening was the announcement by John M. Stemmons that the Washington and Lee campus has been designated a National Historic Landmark. Stemmons is chairman of the Achievement Coun- cil, the group of Trustees, other alumni, parents, and friends which has assumed the responsibility of raising $36 million for Washington and Lee by 1976—the first phase of the Development Program. ‘The Lewis gift forms a part of that undertaking. The funds will provide a new law school building to be named Lewis Hall and the initial endowment for a new research center to be named the Frances Lewis Law Center. Informal remarks were also made September, 1972 to the gathering by University Presi- dent Robert E. R. Huntley and Ross Malone, the ‘Trustee who is chairman of the Law School Com- mittee of the Achievement Council. Malone, vice president and general counsel of General Motors Corp., reviewed the heritage of the School of Law and closed with this tribute to the school and to the Lewises: “Every alumnus of Washington and Lee has good cause to be proud of the Law School, its alumni, the high quality of its faculty and of its student bodies past and_ present. With that pride there is a loyalty and 1. Dr. John Newton Thomas heads for the rostrum; behind him is President Huntley. 2. Secretary of the Navy John Warner greets Sydney and Frances Lewis. 3.

I am sure that they would be the first to tell you that this same bond extends throughout the Wash- ington and Lee family, and I am equally sure that the response of our alumni to the Development Program of the University will further confirm the existence and the strength of that bond. “In closing, may I suggest that the ney ot 7 ee - an a a a a Oo OO - - 7 i 7 oe 7 a sn ee 7 7 eee are Soa rs Soe ea a — > ae hg ee of) (J) this vision we have for Washington and Lee is important not only for us, but for the myriad institutions which, like Washington and Lee, are dedicated to the proposition that we must maintain a strong independent sector in the educational world, in Virginia and in the nation. We must do this if we are to have the much bragged about diversity which we claim for higher education in America and if we are to expand that diversity in the multitude of ways which the complexity of our September, 1972 civilization now surely requires. “Washington and Lee will do its part. We will make our own decisions and set our own goals. We expect to follow no one else in copying what they do. We expect no one else to follow us in copying what we do. We expect each institution of strength to stand on its own feet. We are going to do that and with your help we are going to do it well.” Entertainment was provided by the Washington and Lee Glee Club, whose members remained beyond the end of the academic year to perform at the event. The group presented essentially the same concert it performed for Pablo Casals, at his request, when the singers were in Puerto Rico in April. I.

In addition to Mr. and Mrs. Lewis, members of the Lewis family attend- ing the dinner were: Mrs. Dora Lewis, mother of Sydney Lewis, secretary and treasurer of Best Products, Inc. a merchandising firm of which Sydney Lewis is presi- dent and founder and of which his wife is executive vice president; Andrew Lewis, a vice president of Best and a son of Sydney Lewis, and his wife; Susan Butler, the Lewis daughter, and her husband, Dixon, who flew in from Houston, Tex., where Mrs. Butler is on the fine arts staff of the Houston Chronicle; and ‘Thomas M. Lewis, a brother of Sydney, and his wife. 1] WeL People Mrs. Gaines? She’s fine! What McDonald hath wrought You have probably been wondering how Mrs. Francis P. Gaines is getting along. She is fine, thank you. Since the death of her husband, the late, great president of Washington and Lee University, she has continued to live at 1 Estill Street in Lexington. She stiil entertains at occasional dinner parties, re- minding her guests of the years during which she served as the gracious hostess in the President’s House. Naturally she is frequently a guest at University functions. Dr. and Mrs. Gaines came to Lexing- ton in 1930 from Wake Forest College where he had been president for three years. After 29 years of outstanding suc- cess as president of Washington and Lee, Dr. Gaines retired in 1959. He and Mrs. Gaines built an attractive and comfort- able house in Davidson Park. On Decem- ber 31, 1963, Dr. Gaines suffered a heart attack and died instantly. True to family tradition, the three Gaines sons, are engaged in education. Dr. Pendleton Gaines, formerly _ presi- dent of Wofford College, is dean of con- tinuing education at the University of Ari- zona. He directs the activities of the many branches of the university outside of Tucson. Robert Gaines has been coordi- nator of the public schools in Ayer Coun- ty, Mass. Dr. Edwin Gaines is associate dean of the University of Arizona. This fall he will be on leave to serve as visiting professor of history at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, England. Mrs. Gaines has three brothers. Dr. Pierre Robert is a prominent pediatrician in Beaumont, Tex. Associated with him in the practice of medicine is his son, Dr. Pierre Robert Jr., who graduated from Washington and Lee in 1951.

Cavett Robert, a 1932 graduate of the W&L School of Law, lives in Phoenix, Ariz., and travels from one end of the country to the other making inspirational addresses to clubs, institutions, and busi- ness organizations. Cavett Robert was recently named ‘‘Arizona’s Ambassador of Good Will” by Gov. Jack Williams in recognition of his service in carrying the message of the good life in Arizona to audiences through- out the nation. He was presented a cita- tion and an Arizona flag to be displayed on the podiums of the many cities where he appears. Robert was also the recipient recently of the 1972 Golden Gavel Award of Toastmasters International. The award, the highest in the organization, is pre- sented as a tribute to persons who have distinguished themselves in the field of communication and leadership. His on- stage style has been described as a “mind- WeL ES boggling mixture of Billy Graham, Will Rogers, and Rhett Butler.” He is the author of Human Engineer- ing and Motivation and has been a lawyer in New York, a utility executive, and di- rector of one of the nation’s largest sales organizations. On July 19, he was the keynote speaker at the Southern Indus- trial Relations Conference in Atlanta. McDonald’s Mature Oak The acorn which Walter McDonald of Cincinnati planted 40 years ago has grown into a sturdy oak. McDonald, a Trustee of Washington and Lee from 1945 to 1961, was largely responsible for the establishment at the University of the class agent system, a program that over the years has produced an ever-increas- ing amount of alumni gifts for the Uni- versity. This past year, for instance, nearly 100 class agents volunteered their services, and they and their classmates produced $372,000 in unrestricted gifts in support of the University’s educational and gen- eral budget. The amount exceeded the Alumni Fund goal for 1971-72 by ap- proximately $12,000. (A full report on the Alumni Fund and other gifts to Washington and Lee will be carried in a later issue of this magazine.) This performance and the fact that in the decade of the ’70’s the University will require nearly $8 million in annual giv- ing if it is to meet the overall goals of its $56-million Development Program em- phasize the significance of McDonald’s farsighted and dedicated service to Wash- ington and Lee. In 1931, McDonald, a 1910 graduate of the School of Law, was elected presi- September, 1972 dent of the Alumni Board of Directors. The Great Depression was on, and the finances of the University were at a low ebb. The Alumni Association was equally short of funds. McDonald and Cy Young, then alumni secretary, recognized the ur- gent need for alumni support for all phases of University activity. They de- cided to do something about it. McDonald and Young determined upon a plan and After long consideration, procedure for appealing to alumni for as- sistance on an annual basis. They were aware that the class agent system had been successful at other colleges and de- cided to introduce the program at Wash- ington and Lee. McDonald put his heart into the work and a considerable sum of his money. He paid Young’s expenses to visit alumni in a dozen cities to stimulate their interest in helping Washington and Lee. More- over, McDonald brought to the campus at his own expense a competent consul- Walter McDonald, benefactor of W&L. tant John Darnall, who spent a _ year setting up the class agent program, a sys- tem under which a member of a class as- sumes the responsibility for soliciting annual gifts from his classmates. McDonald’s concern and vision were soundly based. For under Cy Young and later under the able leadership of Alumni Secretary Bill Washburn the history of the Alumni Fund has been one of grow- ing success. In 1933, there were 505 con- tributors giving $3,700. Ten years later, 1,409 alumni gave $12,300. In 1953, the number of contributors had risen to 2,317 and the amount to $48,800. By 1963, the figures were up to 3,905 donors and $140,800 in gifts. Now, 10 years later, the Alumni Fund has approached the $400,- 000 mark. Special thanks are due to McDonald, the hundreds of class agents and the thousands of their classmates who have made the class agent program work for Washington and Lee. 13 & Md a a ton and Lee's. community. | ee “But just as” ‘important (to us_ is ‘the IN eu it WV Va I shington and Lee has been knowledge that. the trustees of the, Kresge, yo y the ides esge Foundation of Bir- _ Foundation have” ‘scrutinized our plans and our F programs and have judged them | i co of this ee and si —— - : een 7 ; ado of constructing ¢ the ce La- re t — two years as associ- a cting librarian there. 3 1 the re of assistant law pro- "fessor at. “American, and will be associate - professor in ‘Washington and Lee's s School . a Law.
