Alumni Day Draws Record Crowd Best ever, both from the standpoint of attendance and enthusiasm, Alumni Day exercises brought back to the campus a crowd of 2,000 persons (including many non-alumni who came out to watch the athletic events) .

Although the exercises reached their climax with the presentation to the University of a portrait of Dr. R. E. Loving, professor of physics for thirty years, and an excellent address

by Dave E. Satterfield, Jr. , '1 7, representative in Congress from the Third Virginia District, the largest crowd turned out to witness the afternoon baseball game between alumni and varsity teams.

Bucky Jacobs, '37, leading Piedmont League hurler who has won nine out of ten starts for the Charlotte Club, pitched magnificently for two innings but after he left the mound the varsity staged an uprising that gave them the game by a 7-2 score.

A Sharing mound duty with Bucky was Winston Browne, '30.

•Tom Morris, '35; and "Doc" Richardson, '27.

The starting infield was composed of Doug Gunter, '30; "Cotton" Landrum, '31; "Pinky" Mann, '30, and Fred Cook, '25. In the outfield were "Speedy" Vial, '32; Neely Godsey, '37, and Ed Schaaf, '37.

Preceding the baseball game, hundreds of alumni and many townsfolk witnessed the colorful water carnival in which were entered best swimmers on the campus and the outstanding "bathing beauties" of Westhampton. Phi Gamma Delta repeated its victory of the previous year to keep possession of the handsome Boatwright Trophy.

At the annual luncheon given by the University in honor of alumni and members of the graduating class, J. Vaughan Gary, '12, was the principal speaker. It was his pleasure to present to Ralph Patterson Moore of Richmond, '38, the Alumni Council Medal which is awarded annually to the outstanding member of the graduating class.

Vaughan praised the two previous winners of the medal, William J. Fallis, '36, who next year will complete his training at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary at Louisville, and Alfred J. Dickinson, Jr. , '3 7, of Mobile, Alabama, a graduate student at Harvard Business School. Bill is serving as assistant pastor of the First Baptist Church at Roanoke this summer and Al is working with a Richmond business house.

A Dickinson, _after making a splendid student government presiW, dent at Richmond College, was chosen president of the

Harvard Business School and also won the tennis championship of the school.

W. B. F. Cole, '12, reelected president of the General Society of Alumni, presided at both the luncheon and the annual dinner. At this dinner was announced the election of officers of the Alumni Society and the reelection of Thomas W .

Ozlin, '09, as president of the Alumni Council and the election of other council members.

Robert M . Stone, '30, presented his report as treasurer of the Alumni Council, a report which showed a total income of $6,567.35. (The detailed report is printed on page 11 of THE BULLETIN.) Joseph E. Nettles, '30, alumni secretary, gave a report of the activities of the Alumni Office during the year, including the quarterly publication of THE ALUMNI BULLETIN, the sending of 35,000 pieces of mail to alumni, the addition of a class file to supplement the alph abetical and geographical card files, and the preparation of 1,000 articles which were published in newspapers from coast to coast. He also reported active efforts to secure a motion picture camera and preclICted that a University of Richmond motion picture would be available for showing before the end of another year.

No Cooperation If Bllcky Jambs , '37, had received a little "cooperatio1," from a couple of good University of Ri ch111011dalumni !he other day he would have pitched the fo11rth no-hit game of his brilliant career.

As it was Bucky allowed only two hits in pitching the Charlotte Hornets of the Piedmo11/ L eag11elo a 4 to 1 victory over Rocky Mount .

The two Rocky Mount hits were collected by : George Lacy, '36, catcher and c!eanttp batter, who hit a home rttn, and Taylor Sanford , '29, frst baseman who hit a do11ble.

It was the ninth victory in ten starts for B11cky who ts leading the Piedmo nt League.

Among the int erested "s pectalors" at !he game was one Clark Griffith , owner of the Washington c/11bin the American Leag!le who may be calling B11cky back almost any time now to help the Senators in their bid for a pen nan/.

Entered at the post office at the University of Richm ond, Virgini a, as second-cl ass matter.

Sweet and Honorable "It is sweet and honorable to live in the memory of one's friends and in their affections."

Thus spoke Dr. R. E. Loving, '96, for thirty years professor of physics at the University, in responding in a few words to the eulogies which accompanied the presentation of his portrait to the Un iversity at the Alumni Day dinner.

"D ulce et decorum est pro patria mori," said Vir gil. But whether "it is sweet and honorab le to die for one's country" becomes more and more a debatable question. That "it is sweet and honorable to live in the memory of one's friends and in their affections" is undeniably true.

Who was the more touched-Dr. Loving or the scores of friends around him who had come to pay him honor - it would be difficult to say. For those who were present the moment when the portrait was unveiled was a moment which will not soon be forgotten. He who had worked for the joy of the working, spurning offers of more money from larger institutions in order that he might remain with his alma mater , received at last the reward he prized above all others, the esteem and affection of his students.

One of Dr. Loving 's most distinguished students, Dr. C. H .

Will is, '14, professor of electrical eng ineering at Princeton University, spoke for all of Dr. Loving's students in the brief presentation address. Elsewhere in THE BULLETINare printed Dr. Willis' remarks which were characterize d by the same "gentle humor" which he admired in the subject of his eulogy and by the evident sincere devotion of one who had been priv ileged to be both a stud ent and an associate of Dr. Loving.

Masterfu l but restrained, the bri ef address deeply moved all who heard it. But it remai ned for Dr. Loving to put in words the thought which was uppermost in the minds of all.

It is indeed "sweet and honorable to live in the memory of one's friends and in their affections."

Athletes Plus When the Alumni Counci l announced a year ago that its fellowships would not be mere athletic fellowships, it meant just that and now , after the plan has been in effect for one year, the Council can proudly point to the record of Fellowship recipients .

The public print recently carried the anno uncemen t of this year's fellowship winners , Gordon ReMine of Richmond and Vincent W. Collins of Appomattox. The Counci l h as every reason to believe that these young men will measure up to the high standards set by the first three fellowship winners.

When the fellowships were estab lished last year the first awards were made to Robert Keil of Oak Park, Illin ois, Arthur Jones of Suffolk, and Richard Cash of Bristol.

Kei l not only proved himself an ath lete by placing first in every high hurdle race during his freshman year but also won

recognition on the dean 's list of distinguished students.

Furthermore, all three of the Fellowship winners passed more than the minimum academic requirements during their first year and all will be eligible for athletic competition this fall.

Arthur Jones gives promise of being an outstanding football star as a triple threat back and he can play basketball and run track also . Dick Cash , a first class end on the football team , played center on the yearling basketball team .

As for this year's recipients, Collins ranked fifth academically in a high school graduating class of fifty-two, was presi- a. dent of student government and athletically was a line-pound - W ing fullback and a catcher on the baseball team . ReMine who was graduated from Thomas Jefferson high school with a grade of 86, was president of the sophomore and junior classes and was a member of the student senate for three years. In track he ran all the sprints from the 100 to 440 and participated in the broad jump and high jump. In football he is a triple threat back.

These youngsters should make good athletes . True. But above all they should make good students, good men , and good alumni.

A Memorial to Professor Harker That was an eminently fitting tribute to the creative genius of Professor Frederick Flaxington Harker when on a springtime Sunday afternoon a group of his colleagues in the faculty presented a memorial collection of his published music to the University. For while we knew Mr. Harker as a beloved professor in Westhampton College for twenty years and his work, first at Biltmore and then for eighteen years at St. Paul's in Richmond , won him recognition as an organist and choir director of the first rank, his widest reputation came from the compositions which are an enduring contribution to music.

The collection is in two sets, each of four handsomely bound volumes, one for the University Library and one for the Music Department of Westhampton College, where future generations of music lovers may know and enjoy these products of his rare gifts.

Professor Harker was born in 1876 in Aberdeen , Scotland , of English parents. His musical education was begun in childhood , as he gave early evidence of unusual ability. At seventeen he was organist and choirmaster in Aberdeen. After a period as assistant organist in York Minster, he was invited in 1901 to come to America as organist and director at Biltmore, North Carolina.

There are one hundred and sixteen compositions in the collection. Their publication dates from the second year of his residence in this country down to 1936, the year of his death.

The first volume contains the songs- his first publication was a song, "A Rose Jar," dedicated to Mrs . Harker. The second ha s his compositions for the organ and piano. General anthems are in a third and the fourth includes Christmas and Easter anthems and services. In the introduction to the collection Mrs. Ward says, "Even a cursory inspection of this music gives a remarkable insight into the personality of the composer. He has chosen for his texts, both in sacred and secular compositions , those conveying the joy, triumph and happiness inherent in the certainties of !if e. In the music, as in the words , there is a joyous freshness , a soaring melodic beauty , a triumphant rhythm, coupled with dignity of style and rever- Ai ence of spirit."

Fullback,Additional GuardsChiefNeeds as Spiders Face FallCampaign This is the season of the year when John Alumnus wants to know "what kind of a football team are we going to have next fall ?"

The guestions have been bundled up and referred to Coach Glenn Thistlethwaite who tells a pitiful story about the lack of g uards but to the critical observer there seems to be a lot of optimism seeping out around the edges.

After thirty years in the profession, however, Coach Glenn has learned that June hopes ofttimes are blighted by the first cruel frosts of autumn and conseguently he's just sawing wood and making no predictions.

As far as the backfield is concerned , Coach Thistlethwaite is somewhat like the old woman who lived in a shoe- he has so many chillun he doesn 't know what to do. Or doesn 't he?

A usually well-informed source ( as newspaper dispatches from Washin gton so charmingly express it) says that some of the backs will be guards before the season's over and that some of the surplus ends will be pulled in toward the center of the line where the battle always rages and it's "root hog or die. " The "three musketeers " of last season- Tom Davenport of W est Haven , Connecticut and two Richmonders, Forrest N orvell and Bill Via- will have to bear the brunt of the battle next fall since last year's freshman team produced very little from the standpoint of guard material. All hands agree that ther e is no better guard in the state than Norvell, and Davenport and Via are a couple of good ones but they'll need some help if they are to hold up their part of the line during the gru ellin g ten-g ame schedule.

John Moore of Onancock showed some promise in spring pra ctice and will be invited to participate in the early practice this fall and a couple of last year's letter-winning ends, Jack Powers of South Norfolk and Enders Dickinson of Richmond , probably will be given a try-out at the guards . There's a possibility th at they 'll be joined by Bob Keil of Oak Park , Illin ois, sturdy-legged sophomore , and several other backs.

Althou gh bolstering the guards seems to be the only serious problem in the line , Coach Thistlethwaite and his aides face two problems in grooming a successor to quarterback Len Kielpinski of Milwaukee who has graduated and fullback Clyde Pendleton who has withdrawn from school.

Bruce Van Buskirk of Bronxville, a husky sophomore who was giving the great Kielpinski a run for his money before a leg injury felled him in the Washington and Lee game , is as strong as ever aga in and probably will get first call at the signal callin g job. He is a superb blocker. Jay Corbett of Hot Sprin gs, another husky fellow , and the courageous half-pint, Leon Al exander of Petersbur g, are other leading candidates for th e gu arterback position .

De velopin g a fullba ck may be Coach Thistlethwaite's toughest problem. Bill Fitzhugh , a great prospect who came from Thomas Jefferson High School in Richmond as a tackle, shift ed to guard and ended the freshman season as a ball

carrier, is determined to win the position in a three-cornered fight with Clyde Francisco of Danville, Pendleton's understudy last year, and the veteran George Spears of South Boston who probably will be shifted from hi s usual halfback position.

From the freshman ranks will come two of the best ball carriers the yearlings have furnished in many a day. They are Arthur Jones of Suffolk and Ned Butcher of Richmond and both of them are red hot candidates for a first string position.

Both can run, kick and pass and each should cause the enemy considerable consternation this fall.

Buddy Lawless , of Richmond , a grand competitor who almost reached the heights last year, shou ld end his gridiron career in a blaze of glory and great things are expected of Stuart Hoskins, the Fredericksburg flash. Another letter winner , Jack Kennedy of Pittsburgh, and Bill Robinson of Hampton , hero of last season's victory over Hampden-Sydney, will be ready for service.

Two Washington sophomores, Carl Sachs and Ludwig Kroutil, probably wi ll be heard from also.

The Spiders have ends aplenty, including two all-Staters, A. B. Marchant of Urbanna who won his laurels last season and Jack Sanford of Luray who was selected the previous year while only a sophomore. Jack was out of action last season with a leg injury but is fit as a fiddle again.

Other ends are Bill Burge of Martinsville, Powers , Dickinson , and John Wright of Lynchburg among the veterans and three first class sophomores , Dick Cash of Bristol, Dick Humbert of Suffolk, and Starke Jones of Fredericksburg.

Although they'll miss Captain Chuck Siddall, the Spiders should be well-fortified at tackle with three lettermen and three sophomores. Ed Sinar , the lanky Clifton Forge fellow who is a first class punter as well as an able lineman; and Bill Morrison of Pittsburgh will be joined by Ames Harrington of Milwaukee who couldn 't be used last fall because of scholastic difficulties. They'll have to keep jumping, however , to beat off the challenge of a trio of determined sophomores who won their spurs on the yearling team. Particularly outstanding is Andy Fronczek of Chicago, a vicious charger who specializes in blocking punts. Harold Mc Vay of Norfolk was outstanding also and Bill Terry of Chatham , another big fellow who hits the scales at about 215 pounds, will be ready for service. The Spiders shou ld get some help too from Tom Hall, the Rupert , West Virginia behemoth who weighs all of 235 pounds.

As for the center position, there's no worry there. Ed Merrick of Pottsville , Pennsylvania who won all-state second team honors as a sophomore last season is on hand and he 'll have to play like an all-Stater to beat off the challenge of Bill " Moose " Faris, a grand competitor from Miller School.

Sophomore candidates are George Shackelford of Hampton , Charlie Miller of Kearneysville , West Virginia , and Charles ~ Catlett of Carington .

''OURDOCTORLOVING'' PRAISED AT ALUMNI DINNER (For the benefit of the thousands of Alumni who were not present to hear the beautiful tribute paid Dr. Loving by C. H. Willis, '14, in presenting the Loving portrait to the University , his address is printed in THE BULLETIN.) With much interest, I have observed in recent years that the wor ld is grow ing younger. A few years ago our generation was composed large ly of my seniors. Today a majority of those present are younger. When first I came to Richmond , the facu lty seemed venerab le and austere men. Now th at the wor ld has grown younger, I count amo ng my most beloved friends many of these same faculty members whom I regarded so fearfu lly a short while ago. This has been a delightful change .

Another symptom of advanc ing age is my increasin g int erest in the events of years almost forgotten. Sometimes l h ave suspected that it was not so much my audience as myself that was thr illed by the se sto ries of the past, but certainly nothin g could be more appropriate for this occasion than a few reminiscences from stud ent days and associat ion with Dr. Loving.

If I give to these reminiscences a personal touch , you will pardon my indulgence because so many students and friends of Dr. Loving treasure similar memo ries. If , viewin g these departed days in the dim light of recollection , I seem to see them in a sun set g low of romance and adve nture , remember that so also do many hundreds of our fellow students.

A ll but the youngest here have surely heard the story of the freshman who, seeing his tra in depart from the old Elba station on Broad Street without unl oading his trunk, chased it vain ly down .Monroe Street and ret urned to observe that he couldn't catch it but that he did chase it in a hole. This was a mythical lad I can assure you and not myself, because I arrived at the .Main Street Statio n. In other respects we had much m common.

This story has fa iled of its purpose if it has not called to mind the picture of a coun try boy, awkward and un couth , naive and simp le, a lum p of clay fresh from the hill s. Clay for the hands of a skilful potter, clay to be moulded on the wheel of study, to be adorned with the pattern of knowledge, to be fired with purpose and determination . Of such there has been a continuing procession through the halls of Richmond .

For many of you the old Science Hall on Franklin Street can be but a legend . For others it is a vivid memory. H ere the sciences were stratified , chemistry on the first floor, physics on lhe second, math and biology on the third. This building was erected before it was known that the odors of chemistry would rise . Those on the upper floors were never in doubt if the chemists were making hydrogen sulfid e.

The buildings, the apparatus, and the student body with a dozen charming coeds were only a toke n of what the futur e

held in store. As students we never dreamed of fields so spacious, of halls so luxurious, or of a student body so promising and so numerous as adorn the new campus and the new Richmond.

It was only a few hours after my arrival in Richmond that I met Dr. Loving. He was, with other members of the faculty , sitting in the president's office to matriculate new students.

It was only a few minutes later that I learned that Dr. Loving was from Fluvanna . Soon I knew of his interest in the "K ingdom " otherwise known as Orange. .My first meeting with Dr. Loving , resulted in a struggle, one sided though it was . (I was insisting that the courses in physics should be taken in reverse order.) Through all the years of my association with Dr. Loving , as student, as assistant, and as colleague, these intellectual duals never failed to stimulate and to instruct. With homely metaphor he would parry a thrust, with gentle humor he would anoint the wounds of his adversary. As a student I feared his logic, as an assistant I respected his judgment , as a co-worker I admired his character, as a guest in his home I came to love and honor Dr. Loving and his "Lady ."

Dr. Boatwright , on behalf of his many students and friends it is a great pleasure to present to the University of Ri chmon d, this portrait of Dr. Loving. By this token we wish to show our • gra titude for an inspirin g teacher, a teacher who is also a sympathetic friend, a friend who loves and advises as only a student of human nature may, a student who comprehends with the understanding of a philosopher, "Our Doctor Loving."-C. H. WILLIS, '14.

On Monday, June 6, at 10 a.m . registration started in the Alumnae Office and at 10:00 p.m. that night when the book was closed ninety -one alumnae names had been recorded.

Many others visited the campus but failed to register. At 11 :00 a.m. a new alumnae feature was inaugurated into the regular commencement program. Two of our outstanding alumnae, May Thompson Evans , '21, Assistant Dir ector of the Women 's Division of the D emocratic National Committee, and Evelyn Boatwright Lynch, '25 (our own President' s daughter) , who is a fashion wr iter in New York City, spoke at an open meeting of the Alumnae Association. Mrs. Lynch was introduc ed by Miss Isabel Harris. The history of fashion, the inside workings of how style and fashion is created, and some most interesting experiences of her own life were told

by Mrs. Lynch. Mrs. Evans, who was introduced by Miss Lough , spoke of her work and advantages that were open to women to study government and politics today.

At the conclusion of this meeting Mrs. Lynch and Mrs. Evans were entertained for lun ch in the gazebo of the new formal English garden. At the same time the '28 lun cheon was held in the students' study and a numb er of alumnae luncheon parties were held 111the tea room. Immediately following the meeting of the government board at 5: 30 p.m. the regular business meeting of the Alumnae Association took place in the reception room . Besides the president's annual report and the report of the executive secretary there were reports given by the various committee chairmen. The nominations for the members-at-large of the association submitted by Madge Pollard Pennell, '26, chairman of the nominating committee, were: Elizabeth Tompkins, '19, Lila Crenshaw, '26, and Dr. Louise Fry Galvin, '26. These were unanimously elected at this time. It was voted by those present to turn $700.00 of the book shop surplus over to the building fund and to have this sum invested under the guida nce of .Mr. Tabb .

At the Alumnae-Senior Banquet there were approximately 150 present. After greet ings had been expressed by Dr . Boatwright he announced that for next year there would be another alumna, Grace Landrum Watkins '30, as a member of the faculty in the de'. partm ent of socio logy. After a few words of welcome from Miss Keller and from Mrs. Frank Epps, President of the Woman's College Alur1;nae, Miss Woodfin spoke briefly about the 28 reunion. Margaret L. Watkins

then introduced and recognized several of the distinguished alumnae who were present.

In conclusion Mrs. Leslie Sessoms Booker '22, National Alumnae President, made ~ speech of welcome to the sen iors the class of '38 and cert ificates of membership into the alllmnae assooat10n were presented to them.

The report of the execut ive secretary showed a balance on hand of $201.00. The secretary reported that 4,550 pieces of printed matter have gone 0llt of her office since Septem ber and that since January three new and corrected sets of class lists have been mad e and a geographic non-graduate file had been completed.

,__ 19_2_8_Yl_eun_w._ The reunion of the class of 1928 was a great success and one of the finest alumnae gatherings ever to be seen on the campus. At 5:30 p.m . on Saturday, June 4th, the reunion was_officially opened by the lak e with a picnic.

Besides the '28'e rs all the faculty and staff of Westhampton who were here in 1924-1928 were invit ed and a large number were present. Songs, speeches , and jokes formed an interesting program. Among the invited guests present were Dean Grace W. Landrum, of_William and Mary, Miss Mary Scott, Miss Withers, Miss Harris , Miss Lough and Miss Woodfin, Miss Crenshaw, Mrs. Grove, and Miss Turnbull.

On Sunday afternoon a large numb er of th ~ class were present for the tea given by MJSS Woodfin in the Social Center Building. The class colors of '28, blue and white, were most effectively carried out in the color scheme of the party . Many of the class members who were unabl_e to attend the picnic were present at this tune . The closing event of the 1928 celebration was the lun cheon on Monday in the tea room. Two particularly de!ightful numbers on the program were the 28 movie made and shown by Emerald Bn_stow and the poem by Mildren Anderson Williams. The movie was a pictorial history of the class hand-painted on a roll of paper so attached to a large wooden fram e that it could be run through a picture-like frame.

Trackmen Win High-lights of a successful track season were victories over William and Mary , 67 to 59, and V.M.I. 63½ to 621/z.

The Spiders lost only to Washington and Lee's strong Generals who triumphed , 85 to 41.

Randolph-Macon fell before the wellbalanced Richmond team in the opening meet and the following week end North Carolina State took it on the chin, 82 to 43.

In addition to closing the season with a record of four victories in five dual meets, Coach Glenn Thistlethwaite' s thinclads made creditable showings in state and conference meets. Frank Alvis, gallant little captain and ace hurdler , led the Spider scoring and other consistent performers were Bill Morrison of Pittsburgh, captain-elect, in the shot and discus; Jack Sanford, weights; Dick Stoneburner, Richmond, pole vault; Ed Sioar and Ed Bragg in the javelin .

The not-so-lowly freshmen, however, stole the show by coming within a gnat's whisker of winning the state meet. Bob Keil, star high hurdler who woo first place in all of his dual meets, beat the flock to the tape in the state tournament but was disqualified because he knocked down three of the old-fashioned hurdles. As a result , Virginia's Cavaliers woo the meet by the scant margin of two points.

Outstanding member of the freshman squad and the OLJtstaodiog freshman in the state was Bill Brauer, groomed by Cleve Kero at McGLJire's School and brought along fast

by Coach Thistlethwaite. All Brauer did in the state meet was to win three first places in the 440, high jump and low hurdles 1 Harold McVay, the husky fellow from Norfolk, woo first place in the shot in every meet and was th e winner w ith the discus in all meets except one which was won by his teammate, Bill Fitzhugh of Richmond .

[ 9}

The baseball bubble finally burst and the University of Richmond Spiders , after winning four consecutive state championships, bowed out of the picture during the pa st season.

The Spiders lost to William and Mary and the great "Rosy " Waugh, 6 to 0, and the Indians woo the state championship with an outstanding baseball team.

Beset by injuries and short of pitch ers, the Spiders were off to a slow start and lost five consecutive games before outpointing Cornell 9 to 3. They won 7 of their last 13 games, however , including a 10 to 2 victory over North Carolina and a 5 to O shutout over

V.M.I Keeping up his "policy" of developing one great pitcher a year, Coach Mac Pitt brought the sophomore, Porter VaLJghao, a left-hander from Stevensville to top form. He scored victories over North Carolina and V.M.I. but was bested by Waugh in the final game of the season.

Although they lost 10 and woo only 8 games during the season, the Spiders had a 5-5 record in state competition.

Pete Jacobs, captain and star third bas eman who was out of the game all season with a head injLJry, will return for his M.A. degree next year and will add strength to the team. The Spiders also can look forward to the graduation of several of the freshman stars to the varsity ranks.

Outstanding member of the team , Jack Sanford, Luray giant, will captain the Spiders next season. Jack hit at a terrific .442 clip and led the Southern Conference battling parade during most of the season.
