Whitehead The Reeves Collection: —an unusual gift In 1967, Washington and Lee University received an uncommon gift—the Reeves Collection of fine porcelain. The collection, consisting of more than 2,000 items of ceramic art dating from the late seventeenth century through the first half of the twentieth, has intrinsic aesthetic value. The collection is also remark- able in that it complements in many ways the history and heritage of the University and forms tangible links with some of the men and events that shaped our nation, now ap- proaching its 200th anniversary. ‘Take, for instance, the two items James W. Whitehead has been treasurer and secretary of the University since 1966. January, 1973 pictured on the covers of this maga- zine. On the front is a double- handled tea cup of Chinese export porcelain, circa 1800, showing the Great Seal of the United States. On the back is a dinner plate of Chinese export porcelain, circa 1750, picturing a scene from Don Quixote. These works of art are related in time and substance. One can take the liberty of associating elements in the dream of the man of La Mancha with the dream that fired the hearts of the American colonists during the latter part of the eighteenth century. The works span a period in Ameri- can history when the dream of liberty was conceived, nearly lost, and then forged into an enduring reality. It HONG BOWL—Decoration in polychrome showing the 13 Hongs, a word meaning “places of business” where Americans and Europeans dealt with the Chinese merchants in Canton. Flags of the nations conducting business in Canton may be seen flying from poles in front of their respective Hong locat- ed along the Pearl River. Visible on this view of the bowl are the American, Swedish, and British flags. Foreigners were not permitted outside the Hong area and were confined to a space approximately one-fourth of a mile long and 700 feet wide. Circa 1790. was during this same period, in 1749, that another dream took shape that resulted in the founding of Augusta Academy, later to become Wash- ington and Lee University. Indeed, the histories of the nation and of the University are remarkably parallel, and many of the same men played crucial roles in the survival and ultimate success of each. In 1776, the trustees of Augusta Acad- emy, caught up in Revolutionary fervor, changed the name to Liberty Hall. ‘Two decades later, George Washington endowed the school with an unprecendented gift of $50,000, and grateful trustees renamed the in- stitution in his honor. The Civil War left Washington College in physical and spiritual ruin. Robert E. Lee became its president, and with outstanding progressive foresight brought the classical academy to an honored position in American higher education. After Lee’s death in 1870, the trustees linked his name with that of Washington, honoring “in fit conjunction” the two Gen- erals whose influence provides an abiding and distinctive characteristic of the University today—honor among men and constancy of purpose. It was precisely this influence that impelled Euchlin D. Reeves, a 1927 graduate of the Washington SIGNING OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE—Helmet creamer in poly- chrome; Chinese artist’s interpretation of the “signing.” Engravings of John Trum- bull’s painting of “The Declaration of In- dependence” may have been used as a guide. The signers have oriental features. About 1825-1850. 2 “4RMS AND LIBERTY”—Bowl in polychrome; cartouches show John Wilkes, the English political satirist, and his judge Lord Chief Justice Mansfield. The motto under Wilkes reads: “Always Ready in a Good Cause”; and under Mansfield: “Justice sans Petid.” Wilkes advocat- ed independence for the colonies and was expelled from Westminister.

Herreshoft of Providence, R. I. Together they assembled porcelain for 25 years—until their deaths in 1967. ‘Their collection filled 200 barrels when it came to the Univer- sity five years ago. Although the Reeves Collection includes pieces from the major porce- lain factories of Europe and England —Meissen, Hochst, Ludwigsburg, Vienna, Vincennes, Sevres, Worcester, Chelsea, Bow, Liverpool, Leeds, and a number of others—Mr. and Mrs. Reeves’ principal concentration was in mid-eighteenth and early nine- teenth century Chinese export porce- lain made and decorated in China. Americans acquired the Chinese porcelain along with many other necessities through the English East India Company before the Revolu- tion. Heavy duties placed by England on tea and other essential items was among the major causes of the colonial revolt. Shortly after ratifica- tion of the peace treaty with Eng- land, the first American trade ship Empress of China sailed from New York bound for the Orient, in- augurating a successful trade that continued into the nineteenth century. SHIPS WITH AMERICAN FLAG—Sugar, creamer, and small plate; marine trading vessels with American flag. Painted in poly- chrome.

WASHINGTON-“SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI’—Plate; border in underglaze blue Fitzhugh pattern with center decoration showing trumpeting Fame holding badge of the Society of the Cincinnati. Washington was the first president of the Society, and with the as- sistance of Colonel Henry (Light Horse Harry) Lee acquired in 1787 a 300-piece set of chinaware with the Cincinnati eagle. The set de- scended to George Washington Parke Custis, and then to his daugh- ter, Mrs. Robert E. Lee, and subsequently it became the possession of Miss Mary Lee, a daughter of General Lee. The illustrated plate was a part of that service. 4 WeL ARMS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK-—Small plate with center decoration of an imperfect version of the New York Coat of Arms.

The motto “Virtus Vera Est Nobilities” appears on the streamer. The reverse side of the cup shows a squirrel, a decoration taken from the crest of the Lee family. The two lower quarters of the arms, in reverse, form the lower two quarters of the coat of arms of Wash- ington and Lee University. (Compare with crest above). The motto “Non Incautus Futuri” as used on the arms of General Lee’s family and by the University may have been adopted in the new world by Colonel Richard Lee, the emigrant to Virginia. Circa 1736.

Over 200 items will be on display in At- lanta, covering a major period of China trade with the Western World. The exhibit is part of the Univer- sity’s program relating to the U.S. Bicentennial to be celebrated in 1976. At the same time, the exhibition is a tribute to the historically and aesthetically important pursuit of porcelain by Mr. and Mrs. Reeves and also to their scholarly achieve- ments in the field. Indeed, theirs was an extra- ordinary gift. DeWITT CLINTON—Platter made for De- Witt Clinton and his wife, Maria Franklin Clinton, with their cipher in gold. Border and center decorations are in the oriental manner. Clinton served in the U. S. Senate, then as Mayor of New York City, and later as Governor of New York State. Painted in polychrome. About 1796. “REBECCA AT THE WELL”—Plaie in polychrome, center decoration showing the manserv- ant of Abraham being given water by Rebecca, prospective bride of Isaac. Circa 1750. NATIVITY—Plate, so-called “Jesuit type,’ commonly applied to items thought to be in- fluenced by Jesuit missionaries stationed in the porcelain city of Ching-te-Chen in the first half of the eighteenth century. The scene is painted in black, grey, and highlighted in gold. Circa 1750. Other items with religious subjects in the Reeves Collection include the Baptism, painted in iron-red; the Crucifixion, painted in polychrome, the Resurrection in grisaille, and a plate with a painting of Martin Luther with a cartouche showing Jesus and His disciples. CANTON IN CHINA, 24TH JANY. 1791—Reverse side of the plate on the right bearing the Coat of Arms of the Chadwick family. Markings of any kind on the back were unusual on items of Chinese export porcelain. 6 REFERENCES Beurdeley, Michel. Chinese Trade Porcelain. Rutland, Vt.: Charles E. Tuttle Company, 1962.

Christian Compton, °50 On Not Being Milked: A Report on the Special Alumni Conference A. Christian Compton, ’50, a judge of the Law and Equity Court of the City of Richmond, is president of the Washington and Lee Alumni Association. In the following article, he reports on his experience as a dele- gate to the special Alumni Conference in November. His remarks are made against the background of an editorial on the conference that appeared in the Ring- tum Phi. Thus the article amounts to a student-alumnus dialogue worthy of the attention of all WeL alumni. This is a piece on the Fifth Special Alumni Confer- ence held on Nov. 16, 17, and 18 on the campus. Be- fore continuing on, you should have the benefit of the editorial which appeared in the Nov. 29 issue of the Ring-tum Phi written by its editor, Norwood E. (Skip) Paukert, Jr., a senior from Marietta, Ga. ON MILKING THE ALUMNI Just before we all took off for the Thanksgiving holidays, the University sponsored its fifth annual con- ference for what was termed as a “select group of alumni.” The lofty purpose, as stated in the program brochure, was “to provide better communication and understanding between alumni and members of the University family—faculty, students, and administra- tion.” Of course, most W&L students, being the cynical rascals that they are, probably thought this was nothing but a ploy to milk the alumni for some development cash. Crotchety, old alumni would be herded around by a carefully-picked cadre of conventionally-dressed student leaders—all the right answers would be given to all those silly alumni-type questions. And after they had been humored and reassured, the alumni would go back home and send checks flowing back to campus. But lo, and behold, this conference was different. To be sure, a primary goal of the administration during this gathering was to impress the alumni with what we were doing here, so that they would leave Lexington feeling generous toward our ambitious fund-raising campaigns. These alumni, not being a particularly Stupid lot, realized this. Yet there were many aspects of this conference which demonstrated a sincere effort to avoid the hideous January, 1973 Norwood E. Paukert, Jr., (right) listens intently to an alumnus. Special Conference Report scenario outlined above. First, the alumni came from all parts of the country, from all sorts of professions— in short, were anything but a purely upper-crust source for contributions. Secondly, many of the students in- vited to meet with the alumni had no special excuse (i.e., campus officer, editor, etc.) but were there to par- ticipate as students. What was really astonishing about this particular conference was the attentiveness and interest shown by the alumni involved. Of course, since they arrived hot on the heels of a drug bust and since many of these men had not been back to Lexington since coats and ties disappeared, many of the expected questions got asked. But, by and large, the seminars and discussions did program. One alumnus spoke up and asked, why not contact the area alumni, and have them bring the pro- spective student to campus? Several other alumni, one after another, proceeded to offer his help in working in their localities with recruitment and admissions pro- jects. Certainly, we should not be scared of our alumni. They are not the collection of reactionary bogeymen we sometimes think them to be. Given explanations and reasons, they understand and accept the change that W&L has seen and is destined to see. The most successful universities in the country, in endowment and prestige, owe their progress in large part to hardworking alumni. Several ivy-league schools have alumni, particularly recent graduates, working not dwell on these issues, but focused on a whole var- directly with the admissions office, conducting inter- 6 iety of problems, from black recruitment to upperclass views and seeking out prospective freshmen. housing. We have not given our alumni enough to do. At If any major conclusion could be drawn from these present, our own Admissions Office has a pilot program sessions, it was that the administration is failing to along these lines. We urge the administration and , utilize these energetic graduates to anywhere near their faculty to realize that alumni can be more than a dollar potential. For example, during one discussion a couple source and to come up with more imaginative ap- s of students were complaining that lack of funds pre- proaches for getting them directly involved in Univer- 4 cluded any real progress in the black recruitment sity affairs. 4 Seriousness marked student-alumni conversations. t Law School coed gets in a few words. 8 WeL *- Now that you have read that excellent editorial you deserve a few impressions from an alumnus who attend- ed the conference. At the outset, it should be recorded that this con- ference was a complete success. Not only was each event, and the entire conference, well-planned, but more im- portantly, those students and members of the admini- stration and faculty charged with the responsibility of leading the workshop sessions gave full and frank an- swers to the many searching questions put by the con- ferees. It is the desire of the University—and this aim has the full support of the Alumni Board of Directors—that each alumnus be thoroughly informed about every phase of W&L’s current operations and its future plans. Of course, the best way for each person to obtain this information first hand is by being physically present on the campus to talk with and consult with members of the admini- stration, the faculty, and the student body. ‘This oppor- January, 1973 Alumnus (above) puts a question to students.

This year more than 50 alumni spanning the years from the Class of 1917 through the Class of 1969—and many bringing their wives—came from such villages as Dallas and Akron and points east. ‘The two full days of working sessions covered topics relating to the impact of the new undergraduate curriculum; student life to- day; the manner in which the University is governed and administered, including matters of finance; and, the current status of the physical planning and its re- lationship to the Development Program. Participating in the seminars and readily available throughout the entire conference for private discussions was the full first team which included, among many others, the Rec- tor of the University Board of Trustees, the President of the University, the President of the Student Body, the Dean of the School of Law, the Dean of the School of 9 Special Conference Report Commerce, Economics and Politics, the Dean of Stu- dents, the Dean of the College, the Director of Admis- sions, the Director of Athletics, the University ‘Treasurer, and the Director of University Development. One of the many fringe benefits afforded the con- ferees was a manual of 135 pages containing exhaustive facts and figures on every aspect of the general discus- sion topics already mentioned. For example, it contains a copy of the charter of the University and its current by-laws. Found therein is a comparison of the current- fund revenues and expenditures for the last three fiscal years. The enrollment pattern by subject for the last six years is set forth. The drug policy of the University is contained therein. A School of Law fact summary is in- cluded with detailed admissions statistics. In short, found in this publication is “everything you have always want- ed to know about Washington and Lee but were always afraid to ask.’’ Frank Parsons, Assistant to the President, was primarily responsible for the preparation of this Frank A.

The real benefit from an exercise such as this is the opportunity for those of us of the crew-cut, narrow-collar, thin-tie, white-buck-saddle shoe era, to observe, inquire, and engage in debate with the present-day administrator, faculty member, and student in an informal campus set- ting. ‘“Plugged-in” to each seminar were students of all points of view. The president of the Interfraternity Council was there. The president of the Student Associa- tion for Black Unity was there. The editor of the Ring- tum Phi was there. The liberals and the conservatives were there. In some instances the discussions became quite volatile, but were always constructive. As would be ex- pected, the main interests of the alumni, as demonstrat- ed by their inquiries, dealt with the subjects of coeduca- tion, with the drug problem, with the expansion of the physical plant, with the Honor System, with the athletic program on a nonsubsidized basis, with the role played by the black student, with the role of the fraternities, Wel ¥ ros seh te a oy cA, . _ eee Special Conference Report days on the campus, and especially to take part in an William J.

Music, youth, romance—pure nostalgia! If this is a mere quibble, it is so only to those who refuse to face squarely the real issues of American education today. Washington and Lee, like the entire world, has changed. The helpful response to this fact, however, is not a lament for times past, but a willingness to understand the changes that have taken place and to make whatever further changes may be desirable in the future. Nevertheless, my basic quarrel with the alumni friends to whom I referred a few moments ago is not that they are indulging in nostalgia. My real quarrel is with a kind of hidden assumption they have that sometime in the past there existed, like an Idea from Platonic thought, an ideal Washington and Lee and that we have somehow departed from this ideal. Their assumption is never explicitly stated, of course, and perhaps it is not even consciously implied. But during the past few years it has made itself so apparent to me that I have been driven to ask what truth, if any, lies behind it. Are we at Washington and Lee, I have asked myself, true to our heritage? Are we indeed helping to realize the aspirations which our predecessors had for this University? Now when we speak in this maner of our heritage, we are surely thinking of only part of it. I don’t think of myself, for example, as an alumnus of Augusta Academy, or of Liberty Hall, or of Washington Academy, or even of Washington College. When we think of ourselves as part of the tradition of this Uni- versity, we really think of that part of the tradition which is associated with the name of Robert E. Lee, with his presidency and the legacy he left. What, then, was Lee’s concept of the college he was invited to lead at a most difficult time? What was his attitude toward change, and what were his dreams for Washington College? In order to have some sense of what the college was like before Lee’s presidency, let us first look at the catalogue for the session of 1859-60, the last session before the Civil War for which a catalogue was printed. It is only a slender little pamphlet, but even so its 14 fifteen pages are more than enough to list the names of a faculty of eight and a student body of ninety-five (only one of whom, incidentally, is designated as coming from out of state), and the courses in a curriculum restricted almost entirely to Latin, Greek, mathematics, the natural sciences, and philosophy. To turn from this to the catalogue published exactly ten years later, the last year of Lee’s presidency, is to enter an altogether new and different stage in the history of this University. In the first place the catalogue is — no longer a thin pamphlet but a substantial volume five times the length of its predecessor. It lists a faculty that has nearly tripled in size and a student body that has more than tripled; and unlike the provincial student body of 1859, the student body of 1869 repre- sents 22 states in addition to the Idaho Territory, Canada, and France. Such a rapid growth in the size and complexity of the student body surely must have raised questions concerning discipline. Lee, moreover, was a military man, and one would suppose that under his presidency the students of Washington College were more strictly governed than before. Well, let us turn to the history of those years to see what actually occurred; let us look at General Lee’s College, by the late Ollinger Crenshaw. Here is what he writes: “The shift from rigid rules of discipline to a gentleman’s code of conduct was accompanied by a broadening of social life and a relaxation of religious requirements. Dancing became openly countenanced, social fraternities were tolerated, and chapel services were placed on a voluntary basis.” Rules and regulations were relaxed, then. But what about academic and curricular matters? Did they keep pace with a greatly enlarged faculty and student body and with a more sophisticated college life? Lee cer- tainly had little academic experience, and one might reasonably suppose that he would have been satisfied to continue with the old curriculum. Yet here again he proved himself to be an innovator, dissatisfied with things as they were and eager to meet the challenge of changing times.

Smith, a senior from Bir- mingham, Ala., is the 10th Washington and Lee man to win a Rhodes Scholar- ship. The announcement was made on Dec. 16 by the Rhodes committee in New Orleans. Smith is an English major at W&L and a consistent Honor Roll student. He was nominated for the Rhodes Scholar- ship last fall by the W&L faculty. This is the first step in an exhaustive screening process. Nationwide, only 32 winners are chosen each year, and this year there were 733 candidates nominated by 256 colleges and universities. Selections are based on intellectual achievement, char- acter, leadership, and physical vigor. A Rhodes is one of the most prestigious honors that can be conferred on a stu- dent in America. The Rhodes Scholarship provides a minimum of two years of study at Oxford University in England. Rhodes Scholars may choose any field of study offered at Oxford. At Washington and Lee, Smith repre- sents his class on the University Council, a principal student-faculty advisory agency. He participates in a special tu- torial program for pupils in area public schools and is also an accomplished photographer. Smith is the third Washington and Lee man to win a Rhodes in eight years and the 10th since the scholarships were established in 1904 by Cecil Rhodes, a South African financier and statesman. Other Washington and Lee men who were Rhodes winners are: Col. Francis Miller, 14; the late Dr. Fitz- gerald Flournoy, ’21; the late Samuel A. McCain, ’27; Clarence Pendleton Lee, Jr., °32; Dr. Edgar F. Shannon, Jr., 39; Dr. Robert O. Paxton, ’54; John B. Mc- Pickens 16 Ralph H. Smith, Rhodes winner. Lin, ’60; Timothy A. Vanderver, Jr., ’65; and Marvin C. Henberg, ’70. Study Abroad Expanded Two new “study abroad” programs, one in England and one in Japan, have been added to the curriculum at Wash- ington and Lee. The courses—to be di- rected by the English and Religion De- partments respectively—were approved by the faculty in its December meeting. The British program will be inaugurated this spring, and the Japanese program in 1974. The new English program will con- centrate this year on Shakespeare and will be taught by Dr. George W. Ray, III, associate professor of English and an authority on Shakespeare. The specific topic in the English-abroad program will vary from year to year and will be taught by different members of the de- partment. The Japan program will focus in a similar way on the culture and heritage of that nation, and though offered un- der the direction of the Religion De- partment will not be limited in its scope to studies in that discipline. Both new programs will emphasize independent study and research and in- tensive exposure to the foreign culture. Washington and Lee also offers par- allel study-abroad programs in France, Germany, Spain, and East Africa. Students participating in the Shake- spearean seminar this year will attend plays and lectures in London, Stratford- on-Avon, and other areas important to an understanding in depth of the playwright and his work. include supervised academic projects, lectures by The Japan program will Japanese authorities, and field trips to the ancient capitals of Kyoto and Mara, as well as to cities important in modern Japanese life. A prerequisite for the Japan program will be a new course in Japanese civili- zation, which will be introduced to the W&L curriculum next fall. It will be taught by Dr. Minor Lee Rogers, assis- tant professor of religion, who has spent considerable time in Japan. He will also be director of the study-abroad program. Also adopted by the W&L faculty were two courses intended to prepare its gra- duates for public-school teacher certifica- tion in Virginia, an opportunity not prey- iously available to them except through transfer credit from other institutions.

They face trial in Rock- bridge Circuit Court. The trial dates of three of the students, those with the great- est number of charges against them, have been set for early- and mid-Febru- ary. Trial dates for the others involved will be set at a hearing in early February. All of the arrests took place in off- campus residences; no University build- ings were entered by the authorities.

Any disciplinary action against them is up to the Student Control Com- involved returned to mittee, made up entirely of students. ‘The decisions of this committee are routinely reviewed by the Student Affairs Com- mittee, consisting of an equal number of faculty and student representatives. This procedure is in accordance with the University Policy Statement on Drugs (reprinted in this issue of the magazine), which was formulated in May 1971. ‘The policy provides a three-pronged approach to the matter: a program of education on the physical and legal perils of illegal drug use; a program of personal counsel- ing (the University now has a full-time counseling psychologist); and disciplin- ary action through normal University channels. The statement, which is in- cluded in the Student Handbook and is made available to all students, makes clear that the University is not a sanctu- ary for drug users or distributors and will not act in loco parentis to protect stu- dents from the consequences of illegal ac- tions. 18 The November “drug bust” in Lex- ington has done much to bring this fact home to Washington and Lee students. In regard to University policy con- cerning those students facing charges, Dean of Students Lewis G. John wrote to each of them, enclosing a copy of the Policy Statement on Drugs: “As indicated in the enclosed policy statement, the Student Control Commit- tee is the University body which exercises initial jurisdiction in matters of student conduct. Your case will thus be consider- ed by the Student Control Committee for possible University disciplinary action. Assuming your trial will take place dur- ing the academic year, the Student Con- trol Committee will in all likelihood not proceed to consider the matter until after the evidence has been heard in court. The outcome of the trial court proceed- ings will not be determinative of any action the University might take, but it could be a factor considered by the ap- propriate University committees. In the meantime, there is no change in your status as a student at Washington and Lee.” The extent of drug use by Washington and Lee students has not been fully as- certained. Knowledgeable students and University officials estimate that up to 75 per cent of W&L students have tried marijuana, but the number of regular users is probably much smaller. Very few students are believed to be users of speed, LSD, or the “harder” drugs. Heroin is not believed to be a significant problem. Parents’ Weekend, 1972 More than 1,200 parents and other relatives of students were on campus Nov. 11-12-13 for the University’s 18th annual Parents’ Weekend. They met with their sons’ professors, attended question-and- answer seminars at which the whole range of University activities was discussed, and heard reports from University President Robert E. R. Huntley and President of the Student Body Robert O. Brennan. The guests also had opportunities to see the University Theatre’s production of Shakespeare’s Troilus and Cressida, hear a debate presented by the Univer- sity Debate Team, attend a concert by the W&L Concert Guild and the Brass Choir, attend a reception at the President's House, and see W&L play Denison Col- lege in football. The consensus was that the program succeeded in its purpose as defined by Council President Robert A. Hemm of Pelham, N. Y.: “To encourage Parents’ among parents a greater understanding of Washington and Lee, its aspirations and its goals, and to engender among all parents a greater feeling of participa- tion and partnership in the University’s important role of the education of young men and, I might add, young women.” [The latter was a reference to the six women now enrolled in the School of Law.| Hemm has two sons at W&L, Robert Mark, a senior, and Andrew Murray, a sophomore. He presided at the “Report to Parents” meeting in Lee Chapel. At that time, President Huntley thanked the parents for their outstanding support and understanding, told of University plans to provide additional University- owned student housing to give students a wider choice of residence, and explain- ed how the University has strengthened its counseling services and brought about even closer student-faculty relationships. Brennan told of the trust the faculty WeL ne Spee : med at Se aie oie as i Cs iS ee Pa - a a oe =. Campus News on holidays (and, many years ago, on Sundays). W&L President Robert E. R.

On his retirement he returned to Lex- ington, and died here in 1964. Higgins Scholarship A scholarship fund in memory of Stanley C. Higgins, Jr., of Fayetteville, W.Va., has been established at the Uni- versity by a number of his friends. Hig- gins, who was prominent in the field of mineral law, died Nov. 27, 1972, in Char- lottesville, Va., following a short illness. He was 59. Higgins received both his undergradu- ate and legal education at Washington and Lee and was awarded the LL.B. de- gree in 1937. At the time of his death, he was senior partner in the Fayetteville law firm of Higgins, Thrift & Mahan. The memorial scholarship fund in his honor—to which several thousand dollars has already been contributed—will aid a student at Washington and Lee whose personal and academic promise is excep- tional. Preference in awarding the scho- larships will be given to residents of West Virginia. Additional butions should be addressed to the Office of the President of Washington and Lee. Higgins was president of the West Virginia Bar in 1960-61. He also was a member of the West Virginia Bar As- memorial contri- 20 sociation and of the American Judicature Society. He was a director of the A. T. Massey Coal Co. of Richmond, Va., and a member of the Charleston Army & Navy Club and the White Oak Country Club. As a student at Washington and Lee he was a member of Omicron Delta Kappa national leadership fraternity, Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity, and Phi Gamma social fraternity. He was married to the former Jean Annette Kent, and they had two sons, Capt. Stanley Kent Higgins and David K. Higgins, a 1970 graduate of Wash- ington and Lee is now in his first year of law at the University. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Higgins, Sr., of Fayetteville, also survive. Mr. Matt’s Helping Hand The late Earl S. Mattingly’s long serv- ice to Washington and Lee took a new form this year—the housing of an over- flow of freshmen. And therein lies an un-- heralded story. Mr. Matt was a member of the admini- strative staff of the University for 49 years. He was first the Registrar and then Treasurer, duties to which he, a bachelor, was completely devoted. In- deed, Washington and Lee was nearly his whole life. He retired on July 1, 1966, and less than six months later on Dec. 27 he died of a heart attack. In his will, he made bequests to mem- bers of his family, to his church, to the Stonewall Jackson Hospital, and to others. The residue of his estate he left to his alma mater, W&L. This residue amounted to more than $100,000. It in- cluded an accumulation of more than $75,000 in his teachers’ annuity fund, other assets and, not least, the residence Artist Abbott’s portrait of Mr. Matt. on Lee Avenue, next to the Sigma Chi house, which he owned and occupied. It was to this house that the Univer- sity turned when it had to arrange hous- ing for 25 students above the number of freshmen expected when acceptances were mailed to applicants in March. The renovated the Mattingly to house 12 students and bought the former Wesley House on Lee Avenue to accommodate 13 fresh- men. And so it is that Earl Mattingly’s University apartments generosity is once again helping the Uni- versity in a pinch. Students who have come to Washing- ton and Lee since Mr. Matt’s departure have another way of being reminded of his service. The Board of Trustees, in appreciation of his dedication to the University and of his gift of his life’s savings, commissioned a portrait of Mr. Matt to be painted by Scaisbrook Abbott of Lynchburg, Va. This portrait now hangs on the north wall of Evans Dining Hall, where all freshmen and many up- perclassmen take their meals. This is an Wel appropriate p > for the portrait, fo students casting ballots. Sc shington and Lee.

Dr. DeVogt has been secretary-treas- urer and a longtime director of the SMA. Following the customary election pattern, he will become president of the associa- tion next year to take office in 1974. At that time he will also become ex officio a director of the national Academy of Management. In addition, Dr. DeVogt, who is chairman of the Lexington School Board, has been named chairman of the Legisla- tive Committee of the Virginia School Boards Association. In that capacity he will direct liaison efforts between Vivr- ginia’s 130 school boards and the Gen- eral Assembly. Dr. DeVogt earned both the B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of of Major Scharnberg. Two holders of Scharnberg Memorial Scholarships, Kenneth D. McCreedy and Philip B. Willis, stand by the case holding the flag which covered the £ casket of Major Ronald O. Scharnberg, 63, who was killed in Vietnam in 1971. The flag is displayed in the lobby of the ROTC Building. Members of the Scharnberg family established a $250,000 scholarship fund at WeL in memory 22 North Carolina and joined the Washing- ton and Lee faculty in 1962. Huntley On Best Board Best Products Co. Inc., the nation’s largest catalogue-showroom merchandis- ing firm, has elected University President Robert E. R. Huntley to its board of directors. President and vice president of Best are Sydney and Frances Lewis, who gave $9 million to the Washington and Lee law school development program last March. Lewis is an alumnus of both the undergraduate and law schools at W&L and a trustee. Huntley became the eighth director of Best Products. Lewis, president of Best, said the election of Huntley to the firm’s board “will add immeasurably” to the strength of the company. 19 Make ‘Who’s Who’ Nineteen seniors at Washington and Lee—12 in school and seven in the School of Law—have been named to “Who’s Who In Ameri- the undergraduate can Colleges and Universities.”’ The undergraduates are Robert O. Brennan of East Williston, N. Y., presi- dent of the student body; John A. Con- rad of Manakin-Sabot, Va., president of the Interfraternity Council; Donald D. Eavenson of Abington, Pa., co-captain of the football team and head dormitory counselor; G. Archer Frierson of Shrevye- port, La., student government representa- football Richard E.

Johnston's election extends list of W&L public servants Another Washington and Lee alumnus has been elected to the U. S. Senate. He is J. Bennett Johnston, Jr., Democrat of Louisiana, who succeeded the late Sen. Allen J. Ellender. He rolled up a large margin in de- feating three other candidates in the November election. Johnston, who attended W&L in 1950-51 and 1952- 53, joins ancther W&L alumnus in the Senate: William E. Brock, III, °53, a Republican, who was elected to the Senate in 1970 after serving eight years in the U. S. House of Representatives. One W&L alumnus, Dr. G. William Whitehurst, °50, is currently serving in the House of Representatives. Dr. Whitehurst, a Republi- can, was first elected in 1968 from the Virginia Second District, re-elected in 1970 and again in November. Johnston is a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy and holds the LL.B. degree from Louisiana State Univer- sity. He was a member of the law firm of Johnston, Johnston, and ‘Thornton in Shreveport, La. In 1971, he narrowly lost the Louisiana Democratic gubernatorial nomination. Now he is Louisiana’s first freshman Sena- tor since 1948. He had previously served in both the Louisiana Senate and House of Representatives. Johnston’s election brought to 25 the number of W&L alumni who have served in the U.S. Senate; 63 Senator Brock Senator Johnston 24 Congressman Whitehurst W&L alumni have held seats in the U.S. House of Repre- sentatives; 31 W&L alumni have been state governors. (Gov. Linwood Holton, ’44, of Virginia is the only WkL alumnus currently occupying a governor’s mansion.) Prof. Rupert N. Latture, special advisor to the W&L President, spent many painstaking hours searching Uni- versity records for the names and dates of alumni who have served as senators, congressmen, and governors. The names are listed below in the order of their attendance at Liberty Hall Academy, Washington College, and Washington and Lee University. The dates at the right indicate the years they were in office. Prof. Latture would welcome information regarding corrections or additions.

Among the Generals’ victims were Virginia ‘Tech, Hampden-Sydney, VMI, Lynchburg and co-state champion Randolph-Macon. Unfortunately, an early-season 1-0 loss to a very strong Madison team knocked WkL_ out W&L and Madison are in the same divi- of . post-season competition. sion, and only the division winner goes on to the state championship. Madison and Randolph-Macon (whom the Gen- erals had defeated) tied for the state championship. W&L’s only soccer losses were to Madi- son and to nationally-ranked Navy at Annapolis. The Generals placed five men on the Virginia Intercollegiate Soccer Association (VISA) 1972 All-State ‘Team: backs Barclay Armstrong and_ Rolf Piranian, and linemen Jim Fox, Mike Schaeffer and Meade Kampfmueller. Armstrong was a first team selection, with the other four chosen for the sec- ond team. All played in the annual VISA All-Star Game.

Nibley, who practices constantly, usu- ally running several miles twice a day, broke W&L’s course record in winning the conference meet. He toured the 4.1- mile course in 22 minutes, 7 seconds, knocking 18 seconds off the old mark which was set in 1969. ‘hat also was nearly a minute and a half faster than any previous W&L runner had ever run the course. Nibley also came close to the record for the longer 5-mile course, established three years ago by the legendary Howell Michael of William and Mary. Michael’s record time is 26:02.7, and Nibley ran the course in 26:43.7. (That’s also two minutes faster than any previous W&L runner ever did it). Nibley’s overshadowed Menamin, who improved considerably outstanding performances those of freshman Mc- as the season progressed and finished the year as a strong No. 2 man. So, with only senior Bob Sherwood graduating off this year’s team, the future appears bright indeed for Coach Dick Miller's cross- country runners. After winning their first seven meets, the Generals ran into always-powerful Bridgewater and suffered their only de- feat of the year by a close 22-33 score. Bridgewater went on to an undefeated season and the state championship, with W&L finishing second in the state meet. The Generals hosted the conference meet, and won an exciting contest, edg- ing strong Sewanee and Centre. Nibley finished in his customary place far ahead of the field, setting his new course rec ord in the process. Other top W&L finish- ers were McMenamin 4th, Bill Kalal 8th, Mike Burns 10th and Bill Garrison 12th. After the first four runners had finished for both WkL was tied with Sewanee with 23 points apiece, Garrison’s 12th place finish ahead of Sewanee’s No. 5 man in the 18th place, gave the conference to the Generals. ‘The season cross-country results: teams, and WL 23 Centre 37 WkL 27 Lynchburg 32 WkL 27 Old Dominion 28 WkL 26 Christopher } Newport 30 WkL 24 Roanoke 33 WL 18 VMI 4] WkL 23 Davidson 32 WkL 33 Bridgewater 22 WkL 22 Eastern Mennonite 39 WkL 20 Madison 4] W&L’s football team ended the season with a 3-6 record, the highlights of the year being an opening game upset of powerful Westminster, Pa., a 38-0 romp over a big Towson State 11, and a Home- coming victory over archrival Sewanee. Westminster brought a 22-game win- ning streak and a solid reputation (they were national champions in 1970, na- 1971 National Association of Intercollegiate tional runners-up in among Athletics schools) into the opening game at Wilson Field. Coach Buck Leslie’s Generals played like national champions in rallying from a 14-0 deficit to upset the Titans, 21-14. (Westminster went on to win the rest of its games). But the Generals stumbled the next week against Centre, losing 15-14 after leading for all but the last 38 seconds, and they never seemed to recover the WeL ~ We&L and Madison soccermen clash in hard-fought match. early-season momentum or enthusiasm. It was a good year for several individ- uals. Senior end Chappy Conrad finished among the nation’s leaders in punting with an outstanding 40.6-yard average, and caught 36 passes for 551 yards and six touchdowns. Senior running back Tommy Van Amburgh compiled 819 yards in rushing, an average of 91 yards a game, while senior quarterback Steve Fluharty had another good year, com- pleting 73 passes for 857 yards and six touchdowns.
