The Wisdom of the Past of the erosion of individual liberties and the tightening controls have overlooked or forgotten of governmentthis simple philosophy.

Yet it is as true today in 20th Century America as it was 2,000 years ago in ancient Greece. To remain free, we must be willing to face individual responsibility. To accept self discipline as the only true discipline. To defend-consciously liberties we cherish. and constantly-the This was the philosophy that guided our founding fathers. Men such as Washington and Jefferson dedicated their lives to creating a nation in which all men could be masters of themselves. Answerable above all to their own consciences. Served by their government-and not its servants.

The University of Richmond desperately needs three dormitories for men.

The above sentence crytically spells out a campus population explosion which could be catastrophic unless funds are found for the erection of these buildings.

Time was-as late as 1942-43, in fact-when more than 50 per cent of the students in Richmond College were commuters. For the 1962-63 session the commuters make up only onethird of the student body and the percentage is expected co decrease each year during the current decade.

Dean Robert F. Smart, who is almost frantically disturbed about the shortage of housing, estimates that by the end of the decade 80 per cent of the students at Richmond College will be from Virginia localities outside the Richmond area or from other states and foreign countries.

There are several reasons for his forecast and no good reason to believe that the current trend will be reversed. As a general rule, students who can afford co live on campus prefer to do so and in times of prosperity a larger percrntage of high school graduates in the Richmond area go away to college.

But there are other reasons for the dwindling percentage of Richmond area students at Richmond College. Richmond Professional Institute, now separated from the parent William and Mary, and the mushrooming community colleges, springing up in easy commuting distance of Richmond, are enrolling many students.

The fact that the percentage of resident students is increasing should be no cause for hand-wringing. It can, in fact, be a cause for rejoicing-provided dormitory facilities are found to take care of qualified applicants.

For the current session there are 200 students who would prefer to be in dormitories but are living in the community because there is no space available. Another 135 are living in inadequate frame barracks, refernd to for the last 16 years as "temporary" dormitories. Dean Smart estimates chat there are at least 200 men in och~.r colleges who would be in Richmond College this session if dormitory rooms had been available.

The administration is aware of the need for additional dormitories. One is under construction at the present time with a must completion date of September 1. It will house 105 students. Two more dormitories are in top position on the priority list and will be built when funds become available .

It is fervEntly hoped that persons of means, alumni and others, who are interested in the growth of the University of Richmond will respond generously if called upon to help meet perhaps the most serious housing problem in the school's hi story. [ I

The President Nobody Knows• • • Boatwright, he was Third

By WOODFORD

Tiberius Gracchus Jones

B. HACKLEY

HERE had been a war. Devastation and poverty reigned throughout the South.

There was no money and little food. Life as it had been had perished from the earth .

To all appearances "The Baptist College" was only a memory. The faculty was scattered. The endowment was worthless, the library gone, the equipment destroyed, the buildings badly damaged. It seemed that the torch of learning had gone out forever. Faint hope there was to fulfill the dreams of the founding fathers. Within these hallowed walls the torch of learning, once burning so brightly, had gone out forever, or so it seemed.

This was 1865. At the meeting of the Baptist General Association in June, 1866, a group of brilliant and determined young alumni and friends of the College, many of whom had suffered the ordeal of the battlefield, recommended tha,t Richmond College be reopened, and at once. But how? How could the funds be raised' Who would or co11ldattend?

After many words that burned and thoughts tha,t inspired, the victory was won. To get the college underway a noble friend subscribed $5,000 toward a new endowment and the salary of one professor.

But who was to lead the way in this, the second founding of the institution? The venerable first president, Robert Ryland, who was still nominally in office, resigned, saying he was too old to guide such an undertaking in such times. After much deliberation, the trustees turned to a brilliant young alumnus , Tiberius Gracchus Jones, one of the foremost pread1ers of his day, already a leader in the Baptist denomination, an eminent scholar, an outstanding author, a gifted, polished and graceful orator.

Tiberius Gracchus Jones was a native of

Modlin, fourth and Present

T

(he was second)

Amelia County, Virginia, born July 12, 1821.

He lost ~oth parents before he was four years old and was reared by his maternal grandfather, Peter Field Archer of Powhatan County. For five years he worked in the office of the Religious Herald. In 1839 he entered the Virginia Baptist Seminary where he studied for three years, thus being a student at the institution when the Seminary was chartered as Richmond College. For the next two years he studied at the University of Virginia and during the session of 184445 abtended William and Mary College where he received the A.B. degree in 1845, graduating as valedictorian. He then spent tw0 years in Alabama, teaching, preaching, and studying theology. His pastoral career began in 1848 and cont inued without interruption until he retired in 1893, except for the three years he served as president of Richmond College. The call to the presidency came while Dr. Jones was pastor of Freemason Street Church in Norfolk. We might mention in passing that Dr. Jones was reared an Episcop:ilian, but while attending the Virginia

[2]

Baptist Seminary he decided to Join the Baptists and was licensed to preach.

It is safe to assume that Dr. Robert Ryland had considerable influence in choosing his successor, for Dr. Ryland had a high opinion of Mr. Jones when he was a student at the Baptist Seminary, had assisted him financially and had offered to continue such assistance if he decided to attend a Northern college.

To have some idea of 1866, it is necessary to call to mind a few bleak facts. Most important, perhaps, there was no faculty and no backlog of students. Many of the students had died in battle, those who survived wanted to return to college but had not the means.

It would not be difficult to assemb le a faculty, but what to use for money on payday was quite another matter. Money was needed for repairs, equipment, libra ry, endowment.

No doubt the powerful and persuasive oratory of President Jones would do much to remedy this situation, encouraging prospective students to make the venture and persuading citizens to respond to the needs.

On October 1, 1866, Richmond College

reopened, with Dr. Jones installed as professor of moral science as well as president.

There were four other members of the faculty, and some 90 students.

During the short time that Dr. Jones served as president there were a number of important achievements . A Commercial Department was added and also a separate Department of English. One of the most useful and practical steps taken was the institution of the messing clubs, which made available to needy students boxes of food sent from home or donated by friends of the College. The endowment grew steadily. The student body increased to 190 in 1869- 70, the year after President Jones resigned, but declined for several years thereafter .

Dr. Jones was an excellent teacher. His students enjoyed and remembered his striking presentation and his apt illustrations.

One of them said that he "was at his best with a group of students in conversation."

As a pastor Dr . Jones served in Virginia, Maryland and Tennessee. His longest and best known pastorate was at Freemason Street in Norfolk and his shortest at Franklin Square in Baltimore.

There is abundant evidence as to his excellence in the pulpit. Dr. J. L. M. Curry,

in thought, clear in analysis ... containing the very marrow of the Gospel and glittering with ... rare gems of thought and illustration [he was) accustomed to scatter with such lavish hand."

Dr. Jones received many honors, including the D.D. degree by Richmond College, and also was elected to the board of trustees.

He was offered th e presidency of Wake Forest College and Mercer but declined. Phi Beta Kappa elected him to membership.

Dr. Jones wrote several books and articles and made many contributions to Baptist publications. Perhaps his best known book , "The Great Misnomer ," was designed to show that "The Communion" was not an appropriate name for the rite of the Lord's Supper.

Dr. Jones was married twice, first to Miss Jane Chandler Reins of Richmond and, after her death, to Miss Martha Ann Ridley of Norfolk . There were eleven children by the first marriage and four by the last. A number of his decendants have attended the institution. An example of four generations: first, Tiberius Gracchus Jones (The Seminary and the College); second, Richard Wood Jones (the College); third, John Bacon Je~ries, Jr. (the College) ; fourth, Harris

This Was The Scene In Richmond When Jones Became RC President. The Civil War Left a Lot of Things in Ruins.

who had heard the best preachers in America and abroad, said Dr. Jones preached the best sermon he ever heard.

There were many other testimonials to the eloquence and wisdom of this "prince of preachers," as one of his admirers termed him. Said Dr. John A. Broadus in speaking of Dr. Jones' sermon before the Southern Baptist Convention in 1871: "Dr. T. G. Jones ' introductory sermon was one of the practical, noblest I ever heard-intensely saying the very things that needed to be said and saying them with wonderful freshness and impressiveness . The chaplain of the University of Virginia, describing a baccalaureate sermon there, termed it "able

E. Willingham, Jr., (the University).

In these days of short monikers, abbreviations and shol't shol'ts, and the propensity to save time to waste later on television, the resounding, classical name of Tiberius Grac chus Jones is conducive to merriment. But remember tha,t this gentleman was named in the days when such names as Virolinda , Dulcibella , Kerenhappu ch, Sophronia and Louisiana were popular feminine names. Mr. Wood Jones, the father of President Jones , who was a student of Roman and Greek history, decided to give his boys names that could be easily distinguished in a community where there were many Paul Joneses, Peter Joneses, Bill and Harry Joneses . So he labeled

[ 3)

his four sons Cincinnatus Field, Telemachus Archer , Tiberius Gracchus and Ulysses Trent.

The College students called these Jones boys "the little Gracchi. " The postwar faculty of Richmon d College, including President Jones hims elf, was composed entirely of University of Virginia men.

U. Va. at th at time operated under the socalled "Fa culty Plan" by which the institution was administered by the faculty with one of its own members as chairman. The Richmond College professors had all seen the faculty plan in operation and they liked it. They did not see the need of a president.

So in April , 1869, the faculty proposed to the trustees that the office of president be abolished at the end of the session and the facuLty plan be adopted at Richmond College.

They also recommended that president Jones be continued in his present Professorship with the same salary and emoluments.

The Trustees in accepting this recommendation "e arnestly requested" Dr. Jones to remain on the faculty and he agreed to stay.

However, before the end of the session he received a flattering call from Freemason Street Church in Norfolk where he had been its first pastor. Preaching was his first love, preaching was his forte, and in preaching he excelled! Therefore he resigned both the presidency and his professorship at the end of the session and returned to Norfolk .

Even those University of Richmond men and women who have heard of him have long considered Dr. Jones as "ou r other president." If his accomplishments were not as many as those of the distinguished trio of Robert Ryland, Frederic Boatwright and George Modlin , let it be rememb ered that he served so short a while in comparison with Ryland 's 34 years, Boatwright's 51 years, and Modlin's 16 ( and still going strong). Furthermore, Tiberius Gracchus Jones served with a faculty that saw no use for a president.

Be it remembered also that Dr. Jones was called to preside over Richmond College at the darka dark hour in its history-perhaps est hour of all. He served well and his devoted service left the College in a prospering condition . Something less than this could be said of many college presidents. Three cheers for "Good Old Gracchy." They are long overdue.

Just What Is A FairDay's Work?•

By DAVID C. EKEY Most workers will tell you they will gladly do a "fair day's work"

in return for a "fair day's pay."

But what is a fair day's work? A fair day's pay;, Businessmen have been trying now for years to find a scientific, tested answer to those questions and others involved in the whole problem of human energy expenditures. Here in the laboratory provided for me in the School of Business Administration I hope to gather data which ultimately will contribute to the solution of these four problems : 1. The realistic measure of a fair day's work.

2 . Man's physiological capacity for work in various industrial environments.

3. The proper base upon which to establish remuneration for physical effort.

4. Optimization of the work schedule to decrease operator fatigue and increase operator productivity over time. (If you are about to raise your hand and ask, "Professor, what do you mean by that word 'optimization'?" I'll give you the typical professorial answer: I'll get to that later in the article.

To carry on the work successfully it was necessary to ask for certain laboratory equipment which, I am happy to say, will be provided through a $5,000 gift of Business School alumni who have earmarked the money for this purpose .

The physiological approach in work study has always been attractive since the fatigue allowances and performance rating occupy such a dominant position in the make-up of an industrial time standard. Engineers cannot adequately evaluate the functional characteristics of a machine on the exclusive basis of a stop watch analysis.

It is equally impossible to adequately evaluate the functional capacity of the human machine by the same methods since the "stop watch" procedure is inherently unable to measure the physiological cost of a job.

Wage incentives, job evaluation, methods analysis time study, production control, plant design, and "man-machine" systems design and analysis are functions of the management which require a

fundamental understanding of human energy expenditure. Progressive union-management relations require constant refinement and re-evaluation of these functions.

One of the least defensible management tools is the application of subjective ratings and allowances to physiological work . This subjectivity creates disturbing situations in many instances; situations due, not only to the relative indefensibility of any designated allowance, but in many more cases to inherent weaknesses in the particular methods of determining and applying the allowances. Thus, the manager realizing that he must justify his time standard, is forced into the position of having to re-examine thoroughly his methods of determining and applying allowances .

From the pragmatic viewpoint one must agree that these so-called "scientific" methods are operational, but we know they yield only rough approximations to the basic problems of: what constitutes a fair day's work for a given population of workers; what constitutes the optimum pattern of rest periods for a given job; what effect the environmental factors of heat, humidity, and work load have on human energy expenditures; how to rank the physical effort factor among jobs in job evaluation work; and, whether or not the present approximations of increased productivity •to wage incentives accurately relate the additional human energy requirements .

EXPERIMENT AL PROCEDURE To evaluate selected physiological variables, characterized by adaptability to noncomplex measurement and recording procedures, during both rest and work increment of tasks cycles, it was necessary to design standard tasks involving a wide range of physical effort.

The operational criteria were: 1. The physiological variables must accurately correlate with physical effort expended over time.

2 . The related measuring equipment must not burden or restrict the subject's activities.

3. Ultimately, the variable(s) must be capable of detection and subsequent wireless transmission from the subject to recorders ( e.g., meters) in varied industrial environments.

Two standard tasks, each at two rates, involving upper and lower body muscle groups respectively, were utilized . Six physio-

Ten male college students were selected at random from a stratified population (a fraternity group of sixty students) to perform standard tasks on a bicycle ergometer and a torsion bar ergometer. Table 1 shows concomitant data of subjects.

These subjects were selected on a basis of willingness of the entire fraternity group to participate. No formal individual or group motiva,tion was introduced. As a further qualification the subjects had all previously passed the university's physical fitness tests and had participated in the physical education program required of all students at the school.

ANALYSIS AND RESULTS During the experimentation two subjects " O 1 b" and " O 5 b" became exhausted due to excessive heat and were unable to complete the second replication of strenuous exercise at "high speed." Consequently this part of the experimental design was broken down into two separate designs, neither of which utilized the portion of the second replication containing the missing data points .

The first of these designs consisted of first replication data for all subjects. The second design consisted of data from both replications for three subjects. The single replication design is not discussed since the results compared favorably with those of the twice replicated, three-subjeot design. An analysis of variance for both parts of the experiment yielded significant sources of variation as shown in Ta:ble 2.

CUMULATIVE PHYSIOLOGICAL COST Analysis of the combined work and rest increments yields cumulative physiological cost functions (Figure 2). This approach will be beneficial in establishing a measure of a "fair day's work" and will also provide an opportunity to determine an optimum solution to the work and rest cycling problem. Physiological cost can be considered as a diminishing efficiency factor whose net output value decreases with work over time. The "cycling problem" requires estimation of diminishing physical efficiency of the human machine (Figure 3), and optimization of the "work to rest ratio." Solution of the cycling problem for various work loads, environmental conditions and physiological concomitants ,is a challenging goal for Industrial Managers.

Heart Rate at Rest

The experiment was divided into two distinct split-plot des¡igns of the form shown in Figure 1; five subjects were randomly assigned to the torsion bar task and five to the cycling task.

The cycling task utilized a consfant brake load and the subject was required to maintain by visual observation tachometer readings of 18 revolutions per minute ( slow speed), and 36 revolutions per minute (high speed). Effective energy outputs at these speeds (strenuous exercise) was calculated to be 0.064 horsepower and 0.128 horsepower respectively . The torsion bar task utilized a constant torque load and the subject was required to maintain by visual observation of a metronome, uniform stroke rates of 50 per minute, and 100 per minute. Effective energy outputs at these rates (mild exercise) were 0.023 horsepower and 0.046 horsepower respectively.

At each task level the subject was required to perform five threeminute increments of work uniformly interspersed by six threeminute rest periods for a total elapsed cycle time of 3 3 minutes . A continuous trace of the subject's heart rate and heart sound was recorded throughout the entire 33 minutes. Blood pressure components and galvanic 5kin response (GSR) were recorded intermittently; GSR at the beginning and end of all work and rest increments, but blood pressure only at the end of each work increment. This recording procedure yielded a reference reading and five progressive work and [ 5}

A Take-Home ExperimentIn Peace

By S. Wyndham Anderson* '61

Depending on your point of view, Whitakers, N. C. has been for several years now the scene of an "international dialogue," and headquarters for a junior league of nations.

This is just another way of saying that our family has been entertaining in their home foreign students-sometimes three or we are grateful for four at a time-and lessons we have learned in the art of living together.

There was Winfred, for instance who, with the exception of English, taught us more than he learned from us. He taught us to have patience with persons of different national and cultural backgrounds; to understand something of the fears of hatred, war, bombs; to check the racial and national pride. I shall never forget how surprised he was when he found that Jewish students at the Universi,ty of Richmond would speak to him, a German, and even engage in long conversations.

We marveled at his ¡ rigorous self-discipline. For examp le, he never opened all his mail at once, but over a period of days, to make up for those times when he did not receive letters!

Winfred from Munich, who will be remembered by many UR alumni, lived with us for a year and soon became a family member. His English was strong enough not to present a language barrier, although several humorous incidents did occur.

In Carolina we have an expression, "I am so hot I am about to melt." Winfred misunderstood the last word and at a wedding reception asked a lady if she was so hot she smelt !

There was Yuan, a non-Christian from Hong Kong, now at Yale. His respect for parental authority and religious and historical traditions left a deep impression upon us.

There was Adi from Gottingen, whose quiet, simple manner made her a delight to have in your home.

And Peter from the University of Heidie burg, who as a student was invited to teach German in an American college.

Now there is Barbara from Zurich, who makes ours her American home, though she *Wyndy Anderson, a graduate student at Union Theological Seminary in New York and assistant to the minister of education at The Riverside Church in New York City, was a lVho's Who student leader. His honors included the presidency of the Religious Activities Council and membership on the Honor Council.

Winfred

Anderson

Barbara

is a graduate student at Duke.

These young people are part of what I call our "take-home experiment for peace."

Barbara has been with us more than a year. \'(/e have found her visits on weekends and holidays as refreshing as the cool air from the Alps! She has become so American that she often forgets to take her passport, and once had to go through deportation rites before being officially allowed to return to the United States! Barbara has often commented about the modernity of the American universities, especially their equipment for classroom instruction, but she is most impressed by the academic freedom she has discovered here . This was something new for her .

Last fall four of these young peopl e were at Whitakers at once. The only language that was common to the group was German.

It was an interesting sight to see the four of them stretched out before an open fire one Saturday night trying to decide what they would say the next morning at the church, where they had been invited to speak, in English, of course! Finally they decided the twist would be better exercise!

Our Chinese friend had difficulty in saying the expression, "I beg your pardon ."

So Barbara told him that she had found the word "Ma m" • equally successful in the South .

Father entered the room once and Yuan did not und erstand something he had said; so he replied, "Ma m?" This is typical of the errors anyone will make when speaking a new language, of course.

This winter, during December and January, we shall have two students from India with us. We are especially interested in this [ 6}

country now, so we look forward to their visit.

It is not easy to summarize what effect these students have had upon us. We have found their appreciation and love of music and the various arts extremely invigorating.

These things are a way of life for them in a way that they are not for many Americans, which is regrettable . Europeans seem to have a living relationship with their history, and they understand their country in terms of the history it has lived.

Many of their customs we have added to our own family traditions. In a sense we are more "shockproof'' now! For instance, if you're German why not eat tossed salad for breakfast when you're in Georgia?

And so it goes. We think every UR family should endeavor to entertain an international student, if only for a weekend .

There must be several at ,the University who have no American homes . If you are willing to take one for a longer period, three among many well-known international organizations who would welcome your inquiry are The Experiment in International Living, the International -Christian Youth Exchange, and the America~ Field Service.

Another interesting aspect of this " inter national dialogÂľe " is the opportunity to visit your friends and their families when you are in their area of the world. We have found th eir hospitality as warm as the traditional Southern one! My sister, who studied in Germany a year, enjoyed the warmth and kindness of both Winfred 's and Adi's homes several times.

OR a mummy, the University of Richmond's Thiamoninet really gets around .

Her latest "trip" was to "The Arab World, " magazine published by the Arab Information Center in New York. She was taken there by Ned Heite, '61, now in the Graduate School and managing edirtor of the Chesterfield Counay (Va.) News-Journal, in an article entitled "Thiamoninet the Mummy, Sweetheart of Richmond."

Thiamoninet's home is in the biology museum in Maryland Hall, but, as we said, she's been around . Here is how Ned tells the story: Thiamoninet was a young princess of the XXII Dynasty of Egypt ( circa 10th century B.C.) according to Dr. James H . Breasted , famed egyptologist.

Her biography, like that of the muchtravelled Seti I, began when her father, Nesy-Amon, and her mother, Lu-Lu, laid her to rest with her charm ring, servant images, bronze osiris, scarab and other earthly possessions almost three thousand years ago .

The odyssey of the young princess began the third quarter of the last century at Luxor, when the sycamore coffin was lifted from its protective sarcophagus and trans mitted to the Viceroy of Egypt.

The Viceroy, admiring the exquisite work on the furnishings of this royal casket, saved Thiamoninet to be part of his gift to the visiting Prince of Wales.

The Prince accepted a number of mummies from the Viceroy. As a token of grati tude, he gave Thiamoninet to an American who had acted as his interpreter during his tour.

Meanwhile, halfway around the world , Thiamoninet's future was being indirectly decided . In the year 1875, Richmond College (now University of Richmond) started a museum and Dr. J. L. M. Curry, a memb er of the faculty, embarked on a world tour with the promise that he would return with valuable collections.

So, on November 22, 1875, Dr. Curry closed the deal at Luxor for a mummy , bought from the Prince's translator.

News of this pur chase caused quite a stir in Richmond, where the college paper, th e Monthl y Musings , fairly burst with a "scoop" that was quickly picked up by other journals. Soon preparations were started for a gala reception to be held when the new treasure should be delivered to the Richmond College Museum.

But Dr. Curry, now in Naples , had the problem of how to deliver her.

This was solved when John M. Cook, of Cook's Tours, offered to transport the mummy as far as Philadelphia if he could exhibit her at the Centennial Exposition in that city during the year 1876.

Cook billed her as the "Mummy of an Egyptian Priestess , or Princess" at his booth , #84 Centennial Grounds. She was th e "latest arrival from Egypt" and caused quite a stir, rivaling the other great attraction of the Centennial - the world's largest Corliss steam engine.

At the Centennial she had another brush with royalty, this time in the person of Emperor Don Pedro II of Brazil, who along with President Grant opened the show. The gala over, she was shifted to her new home at Richmond, where a royal welcome awaited her on May 10, 1876, in the form of a reception and banquet "for Dr. Curry and the Mummy. " The mummy was laid out in the College Chapel, where a handsome board was set for the living guests. After the meal, guests were received in the adjoining hall of the Philologian Literary Society, and promenad-

ing took pla ce in that of the Mu Sigma Rho literary society.

After the celebration , she was ensconced in a glass case, sometimes standing, sometimes reclining, in the library .

In 1914, the College , soon to become the Univ ersity of Richmond , moved to a new and larger campus, but Thaimoninet went into storage- in the librarian 's living room .

She made another debut in the 'thirties , when a room was fitted out with a loan exhibit from the Museum of Natural History in New York.

A love affair with school children of the Richmond area began as streetcars full of them came out to the suburban campus to visit th e mummy during the reception held in her honor.

But when the month was over, she was moved again to a room of the library and finally came to rest in her present display case, right between the relatively modern Japanese armor and American Indi an arrowheads , attended by an albino deer, two bald eagles and a large number of school children.

Special Added Attraction: Dean of Students Virginia M. Pierce of Westhampton College, whose wide-reading includes the Arab World, asked first about the mummy, Thiamoninet, when she reached the campus.

Along The ShawneeFrontier •

By JAMES E. POWERS '50

"I

WOULD share with you the fact that it is thrilling to follow the old pioneer trails through these valleys and to note the strategy used by the frontiersmen to protect themselves from the wrath of the Shawnee or other foe . . ."

Thus writes Dr . George West Diehl '17, describing his motive for starting a campaign which has led to the State of Virginia marking sites of a chain of fortifications from Winchester , Va., south to the border of North Carolina.

And he has, in fact, made it possible for the public to share the experience of visiting the historic spots where the outposts were built under the direction of a 24-year-old colonel named George Washington .

Dr . Diehl is quick to point to the contributions of others, but without him the project would never have been started . Luck also played a part.

Possessor of a distinguisqed record . of service to the Presbyterian Church, Dr. Diehl has also been an educator, missionary and author. He writes a weekly newspaper column and spends a great deal of time tracing family histories . (He is pastor of Oxford Presbyterian Church, near Lexington , Va., and keeps as "busy as a squirrel in the nut season.") He tells how he came to start the fort marking quest: "Some years ago I had a letter from one of my genea logical clients . To aid me in the unra veling of some question she had in mind , she sent me an old letter upon the back of which one of her ancestors, with a quill pen, had written the family line . I turned the old brown paper over to read the letter on the other side.

"To my great amazement, it was a personal account by Capt. Joseph Martin of his advance from Fort Young to lift the siege of Fort Mann, up on Jackson's River, made by Cornstalk and his Shawnee. It was a most valuable document. I made a trip to Fort Mann with a copy of that letter as my guide and Fort Mann became a reality, believe me." (When Capt. Robert Brackenridg e was its commander, the fort was known as Fort Brackenridge .)

This started Dr. Diehl digging for more information on other early forts. Ignited by a "spa rk of a tradition, " he sought information from "the mention in old records in the county courts, old official papers , old military correspondence and reports, old letters, early histories of the area, Revolutionary veterans' claims for service and any possible source of data- all gathered as far as possible-a nd then a visit to the site and a thorough study of the locale-' upon a hill,' 'close by a spring ,' 'in a bottom ,' 'on a knoll in a meadow ' and the like, plus an enthu siasm and love for the adventure -

America in Virginia . The Blue Ridge Committee of the latter group went to work on the project.

The proposal met with favor, but, alas, no money. The highway marker fund was empty!

Then Baldwin Locher of Lexington, member of the Virginia General Assembly, came to the rescue by introducing a special appropriation bill, which was passed. Thus last year, after considerable research by Dr .

Diehl and the state librarian and others working with him, the State of Virginia pinpointed and marked five more forts .

Dr. Diehl now feels that the historic old sites from the French and Indian War have been adequately marked so that modern

such is the trail that I have followed in this study."

At one time or another there were about 200 of the fortifications in Colonel Washington's chain of defense for the Augusta Frontier against the French and Indians.

Many of the sites had already been marked but Dr. Diehl's work helped fill in important gaps. The accompanying map shows the more important forts, all of which are now marked .

His interest aroused, Dr . Diehl in early 1958 mentioned to an officer in the Daughters of the American Revolution that some of the forts were not marked and might be lost to history . She suggested that he present the story to the Colonial Dames of

can inspect the sites of old fortifications to the work started by Dr. George West the lawn of their home, Dundee near him in his research .

Americans can recreate, with a little imagination, the scenes that must have occurred in the desperate early days of this country .

But he notes that the markers are all on highways and thus the actual sites may be a few miles away. However, if you have any of the enthusiasm of Dr. Diehl for the pleasure of retracing the steps of the frontiersmen and actually standing on the ground they defended, the walking required will a:dd to your experience .

You will have to leave your armchairs and travel through the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia to see the sites. But here is a sampling of what you will see, taken from the inscriptions on the five new markers placed this year : Capt. Terry's Fort-"Near here stood a stockade erected by Capt. Nathaniel Terry and garrisoned by men under his command .

Washington made 'Terry's Fort' a link in his chain of forts and inspected it in the fall of 1756."

Fort William-"Captain William Preston built this post near here, and it was inspected by Col. George Washington in 1756.

It was attacked by Indians that October.

Settlers in the area 'forted up' here during Pontiac's War, 1763."

Ft. Lewis-"Seven miles east stood a small stockade known first as Wilson's Fort.

It was garrisoned in the fall of 1756 by a force under the command of Lt . Charles Lewis, younger brother of the famous Indian fighter, Andrew Lewis. " Fort Young-"George Washington, commander of Virginia defense forces in the French and Indian War, inspected this post near here in 1756 . A relief force from here, sent to the aid of Ft. Brackenridge in 1763, was ambushed by Indians ."

Fort Breckenridge-"Three miles west of here at the mouth of Falling Spring Creek was a post garrisoned by miilitia under Capt.

Robert Breckenridge. Washington inspected it in 1756. It survived an attack by Shawnees under Cornstalk during Pontiac's War in 1763."

NEW SUMMER SCHOOL CLASS OFFERS OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL AND LEARN With the thought in mind that "seeing is believing," the University of Richmond will offer a study-abroad program to students interested in European history beginning next summer.

The traveling class will be offered two courses for which college credits will be given: "Europe in the Middle Ages" and "Western Europe since 1945." During the 40-day trip through such historic places as Rome, Florence, Munich, Lucerne, Paris and London, the students will still be subjected to the usual classroom routine : lectures, homework assignments, tests and a final exam.

But there is one big advantage - the students will be able to see the places the professor lectures about, instea:d of having to look at faded pictures in a history book.

Dr. James A. Moncure, associate professor of history , and a tour manager , Mrs . Kathy Grandstaff, will travel with the class. Dr .

Moncure has lived in Europe for two years and is active in several programs designed to promote international understanding.

"The object of this study-abroad program," Dr. Moncure said, "is to give our students a deeper insight into the nature of medieval and modern Europe than they can be given on the campus." "Nothing can be more effective and impressive than to discuss the -decline of Roman power while visiting the ruins of the Roman Forum ," he commented.

Designed for serious students, the touring class will be limited to 40 persons. The courses, for each of which three semester hours credit will be allowed, may be audited by students not wishing to take the tests and the examination.

Dr. Moncure got the idea for the studyabroad program from Mrs. Grandstaff, who has arranged many tours under the sponsorship of the YWCA. He began to work on the project after Mrs. Grandstaff remarked that she would like to see a tour that could

The program will be opera:ted under the supervision of the Summer School of the University of Richmond . Appl ications are already being accepted for the tour . Students who are enrolling in the classes for college credit must meet the eligibility requirements of the Summer School. Cost of the trip and tuition will be $995 .

"It is expected, " Dr . Moncure said, "that teachers will find the program particularl y attractive because it will give them the opportunity to travel and at the same time help meet degree requirements ."

Inquiries should be directed to the Dean of the Summer School.

In an effort to measure the effect of repeat. ing newspaper advertisements of new products, Professor Stewart planned campaigns for a new dry bleach ("Lestare") and a new frozen chicken dinner ("Sarah Lee") in the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel in such a way that readers in various sections of the 6ty were exposed to series of advertisements varying considerably in length . The reactions of the public were then recorded by house-tohouse personal interviews .

James A. and Jane B .Moncure (History) published an article on "Early Childhood Education in Virginia" in the November issue of the f ournal of Nursery Education .

Mrs. Moncure, who is in her sixth year as the operator of a kindergarten at her home , has also published "Bunny Finds a Home " (Orion Press, New York), a children's book with photographs of animals by Morris Jaffe. Professor Moncure is co-chairman of the Richmond International Council, an organization founded in November to expedite the formation of friendships with foreign visitors and residents. His Foreign Student Committee gave a Christmas party at the Y.W.C.A. on December 14, and the Reacha-Richmonder Hospitality Committee has been active all fall in interesting all of us to open our homes to foreign folks for short visits.

The new Physics Club of Richmond (October, 1962) has Leonard M. Diana (Physics) as its first president. Addison D. Campbell is treasurer and Charles M. Bowden is on the program committee. Anybody interested in physics is eligible to join the Club and the 54 present members include chemists, mathematicians, engineers, other science specialists and students. Dr. John McKnight, a physicist versed in the philosophy of science, spoke at the first fall dinner meeting and was followed by Dr. John S. Toll, a well-known nuclear theorist, at the second meeting. Dr. Wayne Bowers is scheduled to discuss "Recent Developments in Solid State Theory" at a special meeting on January 7. The Club's goal is to invite a Nobel physicist once a year. Five meetings will be held each academic year, each with a social hour and dinner.

Faculty offspring returning to the Uni versity to study :this year include Patrick K. Burke, W. Earle Nettles, Stran L. Trout, Mary Bruce Ford, Susan Grable, Mary Eliza beth Palmer and Carolyn Wiltshire .

In closing we sadly record the shock to the University family on learning of the sudden death of Carole Marion Johnson '61, daughter of our beloved friends and erstwhile neighbors, the L. D . Johnsons. Blessed with a fine mind and personality, Carole had been teaching English this year at Hermitage High School and was driving home to Greenville for the holidays when her car slid out of control and into a large truck near Oxford, North Carolina . Needless to say, our feelings for the Johnsons have anchored our spirits ever since.

WITH THE FACULTY

By THOMAS S. BERRY

In spite of storms and cold the University faculty took an active part in the observance of the anniversary of Christ's birth. Dean Muse (Law) was chairman of the Christmas Pageant at Byrd Park, and Philip Hart (Religion) was in charge of the devotionals.

The Faculty Men's Club had a record turnout at its annual December dinner party, with Thomas Pollard (Admissions) in the habit and role of Santa Claus . The faculty and staff turned out en masse to see the Wheelers (Treasury) at their home on Three Chopt Road on the afternoon of December 14. With snow and ice all around it has been much easier to picture the eight tiny reindeer.

The meetings of learned societies attracted some of us during the recess and family and friends called others. To name a few, Messrs .

Gaines and MacDonald (Modern Languages) attended the meeting of the Modern Language Association in Washington, Messrs.

Shotzberger and Jennings (Economics) took in the Social Science meetings in Pittsburgh, the Worshams (Chemistry) and the Newtons (Sociology) traveled to St. Louis and Nebraska, respectively, and William Ritter (Modern Languages) got as far as Rome (Italy, not Georgia) .

In truth Professor MacDonald gave a paper in Washington entitled "Alfonso el Sabio : a Father's Dilemma, " in which he examined historians' condemnations of Alfonso X , king of Castile and Leon in the 13th century, and advanced the thesis that at least some of the unfavorable criticisms of the sovereign as a ruler and person are biased and political in character. Professor MacDonald, by the way, continues to get around: we learn that he drove l 0, 400 miles last summer , seeing his parents in San Diego by way of Mexico City and returning with a stop in Madison, Wisconsin .

It was an unusually happy holiday for the Glen Shivels (Military Science) . In the first place Glen III, a freshman at the University of Southern California , reached home for Christmas; then an unexpected promotion to Lieutenant-Colonel rank came forth in good season ; and most of all, a new little Shivel ( Gary Roberts) put in his appearance on December 7. The Barry Westins (Hi~tory) also have a new baby- Walter Adamsborn on November 18.

Solon B. Cousins (Religion) is serving the Trinity Baptist flock in Richmond as interim pastor and Philip Hart retired in November after assisting Bethlehem Baptist in the same capacity for almo3t six months.

H is difficult to overestimate the extent to which these two congregations have appreciated their fine sermons and kind leadership .

Martin Shotzberger (University College) led a two-day seminar in Ann Arbor back in October. Sponsored by the Bureau of Industrial Relations at the University of Michigan for management men from all walks of business life, the meeting was devoted to "Motivating White Collar Workers in the Sixties." Dr. Shotzberger addressed a large conference in Detroit on the following day, the topic being "Supervisors - Business Mechanics or Professional Managers?"

The Military Science Department has an entirely new staff. Master Sergeant Gordon G. Tucker is assisted by Supply Sergeant Jones, Range Instructor Alan Cooper, Assistant Range Instructor Richard E. Boner and Admini~rative Sergeant Thomas Fazenbaker.

Herman P. Thomas, (Economics) delivered a comment on a Richmond TV news program just before Christmas . He estimates that a reduction in Federal income taxes will undoubtedly give American business a "shot in the arm." Reductions in personal taxes can be expected to exert effects more directly, but such effects may or may not have a very long life. On the other hand reductions in corporate taxes were seen by Professor Thomas to have a smaller immediate effect upon national income but a more dependable long-range effect arising from the additional investment.

Patrick S. Kemp, who is the new Associate Editor of The Virginia Accountant ( organ of the Virginia Society of Certified Public Accountants) has published an article on "The Fallacy of Income Tax Allocation" in the November issue. A second article on the "Contribution Margin Analysis- an Aid to Management Decisions" appeared in the November issue of the Bulletin of th e National Association of Accountants.

George W . Jennings (Economics) has written an abstract of his doctoral disser.tation (Virginia, 1961) for the September issue of the foumal of Finance under the title : "The Fiscal History of Virginia from 1860 to 1870."

John B. Stewart (Marketing) reports progress on a project sponsored by the Division of Research at the Harvard Business School, which has been under way for more than two years but is expected to be completed

by July, 1963. The project, which is on "Advertising New Products - A Controlled Experiment," has been supported by the [ 10

A RealFine Homecoming William Shakespeare, who penned many a clever thing, was never more profound than when he said: "Sweet are the uses of adversity."

When the Homecoming committee met to decide on the date for Homecoming and to arrange the program, it became immediately apparent that insofar as the date was concerned there was no choice. With the exception of two very early season games, both of them night affairs, the only home game on the schedule was the Thanksgiving Day finale.

Homecoming on Thanksgiving Day? Never. Well hardly ever. Bravely the Homecoming committee ploughed forward with plans, despite a chorus of protests. To these protests Homecoming Chairman Thad Crump, '48, replied in his best Shakesperean English : "We ain't got no choice."

Crump et al worked like Trojans. Also like Beavers.

Came ,the morning of November 22. The rain fell in torrents. That, said Crump, disdainful of a mixed metaphor, is the last straw. A real Turkey, added another committee member.

But the sun shone figuratively ait Nick's Steak House where the alumni of the School of Business Administration assembled for their traditional breakfast and it shone literally a couple of hours later as the old grads trekked back to the campus, bringing with them wives and chiJdren and other guests.

Meanwhile, from the other side of the lake came the report that Westhampton old grads were coming back in record numbers .

All hands converged on the chapel for the worship service at which ,the speaker was Dr. Theodore F. Adams, pastor of Richmond's First Baptist Church and a member of the University's board of trustees.

The chapel was packed!

At the luncheon which followed, good host Charles H. Wheeler III, busily directed the setting up of additional tables to take care of the record crowd. Meanwhile, from the registration desk came the sad complaint that "we've run out of badges ."

The football team in City Stadium a few hours later seemed to be running out of time but the Spider faithful knew that the game was being played from the familiar Merrick script and that right would triumph.

It did. Overcoming a three-point deficit in the last three minutes, the Spiders defeated arch-rival William and Mary 15 to 3.

Homecoming Chairman Thad Crump, right, looks as nervous as a bride-to-be waiting at the church for her tardy groom.

In fact, he is waiting at Cannon Memorial Chapel with Dr. Emmett Mathews, president of the Alumni Society.

If a motion picture script writer had offered the story of the 1962 University of Richmond football season to his producer, it would have been turned down as too unbelievable. That's the kind of year it was with Coach Ed Merrick's neversay-die lads coming from behind for the fifth straight time on Thanksgiving Day to whip arch rival William and Mary, 15-3, before 10,000 Homecoming fans at Richmond City Stadium.

The triumph over the Indians enabled the Spiders to complete the season with a 6-3 record, the school's best mark since 1946. lt was a season in which the Spiders showed a complete reversal of form for they had dropped decisions to Southern

Mississippi (8-29), VMI (0-21) and Virginia Tech (7-13) after an opening game come-from-behind triumph over East Carolina (27-26) .

It seemed incredible that the Spiders would be able to follow the script in the season's final against the Indians and stage the same kind of second half heroics that had brought them triumphs over Boston University (14-7), Cincinnati (21-20), George Washington (17-14) and Davidson (2820). However, the Spiders did just that.

The Indians were leading, 3-0, as the result of a second period 30-yard field goal

by Steve Bishop when Kenny Stoudt, Richmond's sopohomore halfback, took matters into his own hands in the fourth quarter.

He stole the ball from W&M Quarterback Dan Henning who was completing a 15-yard run . Stoudt tackled Henning, down they went and up came Stoudt wi.th the pigskin.

That was all the spark the Spiders needed .

A 15-yard personal foul gave UR the ball on the Tribe 41 and Spider Quarterback Mel Rideout took to 1the air lanes. He connected with End John Hilton on the 17 and George Rapp, another flankman, on the one. Fullback Larry Deco smashed over from that point and Rideout booted the extra point.

Shortly thereafter Henning fumbled on the W&M 25 when hit by Bob Drobney and End Bill Ventura recovered for Richmond

STRICTLY FROM HOLLYWOOD

Rideout Takes To Air

Halfback Stewart Percy finally romped the final nine yards for another Spider TD and then passed to Ventura for the two-point conversion and a 15-3 victory.

The Spiders started their second half win-the-game campaign at Boston. Trailing, 7-0, at intermission, Richmond scored twice with the second half only 45 seconds old to capture this one. Halfback Ken Wilbourne rammed over from the one after a Rideout to Brent Vann pass had covered 62 yards to set up the TD . Then Vann chased a BU fumble into the end zone moments later for the clincher.

Cincinnati led Richmond three times at 6-0, 12-6, and 20-13 but the Spiders pulled this one out of the fire, too. The clock (Continued

Enough To Try The Patience of ...

CoachHooker Looks On The Bright Side Despite adversity that would cause most coaches to develop an ulcer, Coach Les Hooker is standing up well under the strain.

The Spider basketball mentor lost seven players-five of them before the season his squad for one reason or started-from another. Yet his cagers had managed to win six games and lose ten prior to the break for semester examinations.

"I think we've been real fortunate to win as many games as we have under the circumstances," says Hooker. "Considering we've lost what amounts to half a squad, I think our boys have done a tremendous job."

Hooker lost Grover Flint, promising guard, last summer when the Roanoke lad signed a professional baseball contract. Letterman Mac Dirom was forced to give up the game because of an old back injury and John Vaughan, another letterman, broke a cheekbone in scrimmage and was lost for the season. Dave Grumblatt, a big sophomore who was counted on the help with the rebounding, decided to give up basketball, and Bill Sutphin, junior college transfer, quit the squad .

Then, on a night when the Spiders were at their very best, Captain Danny Higgins, sparkling guard and a 14-point plus performer, injured his back in a tumble on the hardwood and was forced to sit out the next five games. He had scored 22 points against The Citadel prior to the injury,. but the Spiders went on to win, 112-98. Four days later, Sophomore Ronnie Fowler, Higgins' replacement, was dropped from the squad for academic deficiencies.

Of course there have been some bright moments. Hooker believes George Atwell, 6-8 sophomore center who had limited basketball experience, "has improved 100 per cent since his freshman year." Then, Tom Tenwick, transfer student from the University of Cincinnati, has come through in fine style.

"Tenwick has been a real asset to the club," says Hooker. "He and John Telepo give us two of the best inside men in the conference."

Despite a period when the Spiders won five of six games after winning only one of their first seven contests, the personnel losses have been keenly felt. Forced to call on inexperienced players, the result has been too many lost possessions and second half collapses .

In their season's opener at Blacksburg the Spiders put up a great battle before bowing , 76-68, to Virginia Tech, which hit 50 per cent of its shots.

The Spiders played what Hooker called "our only bad game" against Virginia at the

Arena and lost, 59-50, in their second game.

Twenty -one lost possessions and poor foul shooting killed Richmond's chances. Telepo, with 19 pints, was the only Spider in double figures.

West Virginia, playing witho ut AllAmerica Rod Thorn, whipped the Spiders, 78-59, at Morgantown after the Spiders led 30-21 at one point and 33-30 at intermission. A 14-point Mountaineer binge broke the game wide open when West Virginia held only a 48-47 advantage.

Senior George Grodzicki, who was Richmond's top man with 12 points against West Virginia, tossed in 17 to lead the Spiders to a 70-56 win over Baldwin-Wallace at the Arena. Telepo scored 16.

Tom Tenwick, transfer from the University of Cincinna ti, has turned out to be one of the few plea sant surprises this year. Here he hooks over a George Washington defender. [ 13 ]

Richmond lost, 80-76, to The Citadel at Charleston. The Spiders, down by two points, lost the ball twice in the final 30 seconds. Tenwick collected 18 points for Richmond, which led, 37-33, at the half.

A 13-point second half surge enabled George Washington to pull away from a 545 3 advantage and beat the Spiders, 81-70, at Fort Myer despite a 21-point performance from Higgins. Danny tallied 19 against Alabama at Tuscaloosa but the Crimson Tide pulled away in the second half to win, 7256.

Richmond won its second game at Tallahassee by beating Florida State, 62-56, with Grodzicki scoring 15 and Tenwick 13. The Spiders captured No . 3 with a come-frombehind 73-71 triumph over Columbia in the opening round of the Richmond Invitational.

Tenwick took an in -bounds pass from Higgins, who tallied 31 points, and scored with two seconds left. Richmond trailed , 68-61, with 2 :45 to play.

William and Mary outrebounded the Spiders 46-25 and pulled away with 15 straight points after Richmond had narrowed the gap to 50-48 to beat the Spiders, 76-59, in the tourney finals. Telepo and Enck bagged 15 each for Spiders .

Richmond rebounded with the 112-98 win over The Citadel, hitting a torrid 65 per cent of their field goal attempts. Tenwick set the pace with 34 points, the injured Higgins scoring 22 before retiring and Telepo bagging 21.

In the rematch with W&M at the Arena the Spiders prevailed, 59-55, by cashing in at the free throw line and outrebounding the Tribe, 49-39. Telepo had 14 points, Grodzicki 12, Enck 11 and Fowler 10. Tenwick made four late free throws while picking up 22 points as the Spiders stopped Furman , 74-71, at The Arena .

Then came the most heartbreaking loss of all. Piling up a commanding 50-29 lead at intermission, the Spiders appeared headed for their sixth win in seven games over VMI at Lexington.

In Virginia,They Call Him tMR. BAPTIST' Few men have had a more difficult task than that which faced Reuben Alley when he became editor of The Religious Herald at the comparatively youthful age of 41.

A scholar, a successful minisof ter, a dedicated Baptist-all did he this was conceded-but have the breadth and depth of judgment, coupled with literary ability, to enable him to succeed in his attempt to wear the mantle of the great R. H. Pitt?

After twenty-five years of testing, over a course that was sometimes serene, sometimes stormy, Reuben Alley has proved himself the man best qualified to speak for Virginia Baptists. when he Uncompromising believed important principles were involved, clear and succinct in his editorial expressions, Dr . Alley has given a quarter century of superlative service to Virginia Baptists.

When on November 1 many Baptists and friends from other denominations gathered at the newly erected Baptist Building on Monument Avenue to unveil his portrait, there was general agreement that he was "Mr. Baptist" insofar as the denomination in Virginia is concerned.

Born and reared in Petersburg, Dr. Alley was graduated from the University of Rich mond in 1922. Although he took the bachelor of science degree with a major in chemistry, he felt called to the minis try and attended the Southern

He was assuming a position of great responsibility to the Baptists of Virginia; he was to attempt to follow in the footsteps of six distinguished predecessors, and he was faced with what appeared to be an insuperaible task : building up the circulation of the paper in order to meet the financial obligations he had assumed.

To his qualities of courage and faith he added complete dedication to the tasks.

And he has succeeded! The circulation of the H erald has increased ten-fold since 1937 .

At Dr. Alley's suggestion in 1950, the paper was purchased by a corporation of 24 trustees who are nominated by the General Association . As a result of this aotion the paper was brought under denominational control and its continuity was assured.

Alumni of the University of Richmond will not forget the loyal service Dr. Alley has given to Alma Mater. For a number of years he has served as a valued trustee of the University and he gave unstintingly of his time and talents in directing the campaign for the Boatwright Library.

As an editor of courage and conviction, as an alumnus of loyalty and devotion, we salute him as one who has kept the faith. - Ralph C. McDanel, '16.

Richmond trailed George Washington, 14-3, at Washington with just four minutes to go, Rideout"s 45-yard field goal accounting for the Spiders' only points. The situation was desperate for Richmond. Then Rideout passed 22 yards to Hilton on the GW 15. Hilton lateralled to Percy who scooted across for the six-pointer, and Rideout kicked the extra point. An on-side kickoff was successful, Percy covering the baill for Richmond. Rideout took to the air again, completing three which carried to the GW eight-yard marker. A pass interference penalty gave UR the ball on the one and Wil-

bourne cracked over for the winning TD. Trailing Davidson, 14-6, early in the third period, the Spiders got rolling and moved ahead, 20-14, only to have the Wildcats tie the score. Bill Silvi, who took over for Rideout who was injured following the third Spider score, passed 21 yards to Vann on the Davidson 10 late in the final quarter.

Sophomore HaJfback Warren Hayes scored the winning TD on a nine-yard run.

Hospitality.

Westhampton News 1915 Secretary MRS. WILMER L. 0'FLAHERTY (Celeste Anderson) 3603 Moss Side Avenue, Richmond 22, Va. We've been "out of print" for some months; now we record only pleasures. "Sup" Reams Hundley had several of us up to supper and che Centennial Play in Charlottesville. Frances Glassell Beale entertained at her ninth annual houseparty in late October with the following present; "Sup" (Louise) Hundley, Irene Stiff Phillips of Tappahannock, Kathleen Bland Cottle ('16) of West Point, Frieda Dietz ('16), Norma Throckmorton's sister, Bessie Woodward Graham, and me, and I was pressed into teaching Frances' Sunday School Class; we always attend her Baptist church on Sunday, and che Hanover Theatre Friday night.

Several of us spent Dec. 27th with Irene in Tappahannock. Many alumnae were at Frieda Dietz' for an afternoon coffee when Anne-Ruth Harris (' 17) and her sister, Billie, were in town for the Westhampton Thanksgiving Dinner.

Dean Keller and Miss Turnbull were among the coffee-drinkers; and we missed Miss Crenshaw whom Anne-Ruth had especially wanted to see.

Kathleen (Mrs. Ralph Cottle) expected to be in her new, more compact home by the New Year. It is built on the same property as her present home, which will be occupied by her retired brother and his wife from Chattanooga.

At the Westhampton dinner we were especially happy to welcome Emily Jinkins, a graduate of the old Richmond College campus, whom we hadn't seen in years.

Bessie Woodward Graham holds to Norma Throckmorton's circle of friends and we were guests of her son on his yacht on the Rappahannock for the second summer. Florence Decker (' 17), Louise Hundley, Kathleen Cottle, Irene Phillips, Frances Beale, Frieda Dietz and I were the lucky guests.

1918 Secretary Miss DEBORAHMcCARTHY 1618 Park Avenue Richmond, Virginia Let me remind all Eighteeners that June 1963 marks the 45th anniversary of your graduation from Westhampton. Alumnae Day will be on June 8 and class reunions will be June 7th to 9th. Put those dates on your calendar .

Eighteen has a colony of Retired Persons growing up in and around Richmond who are adjusting to a life of leisure. Martha .Chappell began her retirement with a European Tour.

Elizabeth Brockenbrough and I spent the months of September and October on the West Coast.

Mary Ruffin, the seasoned traveler, passed the summer touring the French countryside and spent Christmas in Central America. Gertude Johnson should be in this group but she has not rendered me an account of her activities.

There must be others of us who might have interesting items to report . Write your chairman any news which she might pass on to others through the Bulletin.

1919 Secretary MRS.

WEBSTER

I.

CARPENTER

(Juliette Brown) 1001 Gates Ave. Norfolk, Virginia We had hoped to hear from one or more of

you since the last Bulletin, offering your ser vices . We haven't heard a word! So, you will have to endure more of the same.

Our personal contacts with our class members and contemporaries are the only items on which we can report. In late October, a friend accompanied me on a two weeks vacation-destination New Orleans. En route, while staying overnight in Columbus, Miss., we called Janet Wyatt Fountain's home in Greenwood, Miss .

ALUMNAINVADES "MAN'S WORLD" Desiree Stuart-Alexander, '52, believes emphatically m woman's prerogative of changing her mind! After majoring in history, Desiree went to work for a New York metals company.

While working with that company's Canadian branch, Desiree became interested in a field which is very unusual for a woman-that of geology.

She is now working toward her Ph.D. at Stanford, the only woman there who is working for that particular goal in geology .

Her ambition is to do research work. According to Desiree, most non-geologists have no idea what geologists do. "When I say I am going to the field," she explained "people think I mean farm work."

Desiree spent last summer camping in the Sierra mountains, and plans to do the same this summer, to look for metamorphic rock.

She is an "old hand" at these camping trips.

During the day, she marks down what she observes; at night she organizes notes on the subject. "The only thing I really mind is snakes," says brave Desiree .

Her food usually consists of dried goods, because cans are heavy and fresh food spoils so quickly.

Desiree doesn't mind being alone on these trips. She says she meets lots of campers who are "always interested in what you're doing."

Desiree is the daughter of Mrs. David Stuart-Alexander, of Arlington Heights , Mass. Born in England, she has lived in and out of the United States. She says her formal education has consisted mostly of college, because she was tutored at home by her mother as a child.

( 23}

Janet had Ide che day before for a visit co her daughter, so we had the pleasure of talking co her husband, Maynard .

Our stay in New Orleans was delightful.

Stopped at the La Mothe House, a charming Inn, in the French Quarter, formerly a town house of the early 1800's, and presided over by a very lovely lady as hostess. On returning through Georgia, we visited several days with Pam and George and the nine young Henrys .

Pamela visited us in Norfolk later in November, and while here, we had a trip to Culpeper .

It was nice to run into Anna Lee Willis Eppstein and her sister, Margaret . Won't someone please write? Or shall we just have to "fade away " ?

1923 Secretary MRS. BARTEEE. CoRPEW ( Dorothy Sadler) 7100 Horsepen Road Richmond, Virginia It is with mixed emotions chat this letter is written to you. We were greatly shocked and grieved with the news of the death of Aggie Taylor Gray on October 6. Those who knew her, loved her for her sweet sincerity and her quiet attractive personality . As we make plans for our reunion in June, Aggie 's absence will be deeply felt by her classmates.

Arrangements for our Fortieth Reunion are being made for Friday, June 7. Alumnae Day will follow on Saturday . At the Homecoming dinner at college at Thanksgiving time, the class of '23 was recognized as having the larg est representation of any class there . Those present were Doug Oliver, Jo Tucker, Altha Cunningham, Hannah Coker, Ruth Tyree , Elizabeth Schenk and Ethney Headlee. This group agreed, although they were relu~tant to ad!11it that it had been forty years smce they Just entered the portals of Westhampton as freshmen, chat it called for a celebration . More about that later on, but remember the date .

Our traveling alumnae are finally settled down. Hannah reports on a delightful trip to Hawaii last summer . Tuck had a most enjoyable visit with Mildred Campbell Broome who has a charming home, with a beautiful little English garden, at Wimbleton just outside of London. Mildred joined Tuck on her seventeen day Aegean Cruise . They traveled as far as Istanbul and said the pleasure of the cruise far exceeded all expectations. We hope Mildred can plan a trip back to the States next summer .

Tuck will resume her teaching in February at the close of her Sabbatical.

Some have traveled not quite as far. Lelia Doan and Janie Wood spent a recent week-end in South Boston where Lelia visited Camilla W"imbish Lacy . Camilla and Evan were in Richmond in November for a bank conference.

Dora Hartz breezes in and out of Richmond at the "drop of a hac"-attending the Women's Forums and Christmas shopping.

We see folks downtown, folks like-Rosa Sanders Thomas, Virginia Davidson Knight , Mildred Pulliam Stone, Miriam Norment Brennaman, Katherine Hill Smith, Olivia Hardy Blackwell, Leita Ellis Briesmaster and others .

See what you are missing. Come co town!

1926 Secretary !\fas. CLARKM. BHOWN(Margaret Lazenby) 207 Memorial Ave. Bluefield, West Virginia Alice Taylor sent her annual Christmas letter

early so I can give some news of her. She is pretty closely confined with her mother who stays about the same. Alice spent three weeks in August at William and Mary in a Language Laboratory workshop. She had a grand time and said it was like a vacation.

Of course it is old "stuff" for some of you co be grandmothers but I am very new at it so I want to brag a little about my two grandsons born the last of May with only ten day's difference in their ages. They are really darling and I try to get to see them as often as I can.

I am teaching at Graham High School this year and keeping pretty busy at it. Clark is the principal and this is my first experience having my husband as my boss. I'm afraid I give him a hard time in the evenings telling him about everybody's gripes.

Please start some news coming this way .

1927 Secretary Miss EDITH M. DEWITT 2601 Midway Road Decatur, Georgia Isabel Dickerson Norman writes that her older daughter is married and her younger finished her freshman year at Westhampton in June. Previous commitments prevented Isabel from being with us in June for the reunion but she promises that if she's "not too decrepit" she 'll make the fortieth!

Mary Louise Collings Hoffman was certainly in our thoughts during the reunion, as I know we were in hers . She was hospitalized with a broken rib, a freakish accident caused indirect! y by arthritis. Mary Louise has been in frail health for some time but she still enjoys working with flowers and has just finished making needlepoint seats for her dining room chairs.

She especially wanted us to know she'd love to see any of us should our travels take us close to Shreveport .

Sally Winfrey is teaching English at Dwight Morrow High School in Englewood, New Jersey where she is adviser of the yearbook and the newspaper, as well as director of publications for the city schools. Sal's teaching of writing has been especially rewarding as one of her students is now an editor of Harper's, another is in charge of the Mexican bureau of Chemical Weekly, not to mention others who have won state and national writing awards. Sal writes that her mother, with whom she shares her home, took up oil painting at 80 and has sold many of her works. She's now 86.

Cecyle Loving Hackendorff's husband was recovering from an operation when she wrote in June . We trust all's well and back to normal by now. The Hackendorffs live outside of Boston, where Cecyle's husband does statistical reporting for the U. S. Department of Agriculture, estimating acreage and yields of crops and livestock in New England. Their eldest son, Martin, who graduated from Clark Uni versity Phi Beta Kappa, is now working toward

his doctorate in nuclear chemistry at the University of California. Their second son, James, a graduate of Worcester Tech, is now an electrical engineer with Raytheon Company. He is married and has a son two years old. Their daughter, Emily, married just after high school and has a small daughter. So Cecyle is a grandmother twice over. Aside from grandmothering Cecyle enjoys church work, entertaining foreign students, and life in general.

We kept hoping Dorothy Head Thomas would show up during reunion week-end. She had promised to baby-sit with her two little granddaughters while their parents attended a Museum Directors' Conference in Williamsburg, but she held out a bit of hope that she might be able to arrange to look in on us even though she couldn't attend all the festivities. We will hope for better luck next reunion, Dorothy! was that Virginia Another disappointment McDaniel Cone was too involved with her teaching to break away at reunion time. Mac wrote that this year she's on leave of absence from the Syracuse School System to finish work on her Master's (in French) from Syracuse University. Mac's daughter, Martha, will be this June. graduating from Westhampton I'm hoping for some choice tid-bits from you to inscribe for the next Bulletin!

1928 Secretar y MRS. Loms S. CRISP (Louise Massey) 210 College Circle Staunton, Virginia This is the year for our 35th class reunion, to be held during commencement, June 7 to 9.

No definite plans have been made as yet, but put the date down, keep it in mind, and plan to come. If you have any ideas or suggestions write me, and I shall pass them on to our chairman in Richmond. . There have been three recent weddings of interest: Dr . Robert Pratt Wight, Jr., son of Bob and Cecilia Hunt Wight, married Sara Ann Wilkerson on August 18 in Greenwood, South Carolina.

Cecilia wrote that Sara is a medical technician in the hospital where Bobby studied and is now interning and specializing in internal medicine.

Betty Warren Cale, daughter of the United States Minister to Mexico and Mrs. Edward G. Cale (Betty Sherman), married Mr. John Saron December 22, in the gent Scarborough, Union Church of Mexico City.

Betty sent me Betsy's picture and the announcement which appeared in the Mexico City newspaper. John is an engineering graduate of Stanford University, with a M.B.A. degree. His parents live in Sausalito, California. Betty wrote that on his next assignment Ed expects to travel for the Foreign Service, inspecting and evaluating the work done at U. S. Embassies. He hopes to be assigned to Europe or the Far East .

Their son is a student at the Hill School in Ann, and Youngest daughter, Pennsylvania.

If anyone knows Hazel Neale Jordan's address, please let me know .

However, do not wait for a que stionnaire if you have any new s. I am alwa ys del igh ted to hear from any of you .

1938 Secretar y As many of you know, I resigned as secretar y of the Class of 1938 some months ago.

Both Mrs . Booker and I tried , without success, to find a class member who would take the job . 1963 is our 25th Reunion year, so it becomes very urgent for the class to have a secretary if there are to be any festivities for the event. If anyone is interested in volunteering, please contact Mrs. Booker at the Alumnae Office. It would be a big help if we could have a reunion chairman, as well as a secretary .

DELICIOUS IN THE BARGAIN!

taking therapy there. She and her two daughters spent some time with Lib Henry Belcher and Ray in Chester. Mamas and children (including Lib's son) attended the Thanksgiving Homecoming on the campus, as did we and our three offspring. It was a grand occasion; everybody seemed in especially good spirits to have worshipped that morning and then assembled for fine fellowship and an excellent luncheon. When we first heard of the scheduled timing, it seemed just too much to work into already-crowded calendars, but many came who had not been able to attend at other times, and we were all glad it fell then, after all.

At the Wednesday night dinner there were only two from our class, in addition to our President Mary Owen Bass and class sponsor.

Louise Morrissey Moyer drove down from Washington with her three daughters, leaving husband Joe and infant son to observe Thanksgiving in manly splendor. She had seen Martha Beam de Vos and her family, as well as Jo Fennell Pacheco; they all live fairly near each other in greater Washington.

Ann Phillips Bonifant has recovered from a bout of illness earlier in the fall, for which we're thankful. Her daughters had interesting summers. Sally was in Camp Allegheny, W. Va., while Susan went to the west coast with Ann's parents .

Marion Yancey Petroff's husband is out of the Navy, and they settled in a new home in July, in the Washington area. Their address is 2018 Crown Place, Waynewood, Alexandria, Virginia.

Leslie Booker and I both want Anne Addison Bowling's correct address and that of Virginia Garrett Buckler (when last heard of, she was with her mother in Blackstone, but I believe she was going to move to California), Tamis Wilson Leonard, Evelyn Pomeroy Umstattd, Thelma Seldes Nieder and Florence Lafoon Cornwell. Yearningly I desire news from outside Richmond, from people who have not recently communicated with us. What will you do about it?

We offer sympathy to Mary Buxton Smith, whose father recently died. He was for a long time the Treasurer of the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, but had given it up several years ago.

1942 Secretary

MRS. BERNARDCLINE ( Esther Wendling) 6933 Greentree Drive Falls Church, Virginia Greetings and Happy New Year to you all.

Lila Wicker Hunt (90 The Uplands, Berkeley 5, Calif.) writes that she met Lucy Burke Allen Meyers at the airport during the summer. She and Lila were there to meet their parents. Both fathers were arriving for the American Bar Association meeting. The Hunts have three children. John (14½) goes to the University School in Victoria, British Columbia. It is a tough British type school (no frills) but with emphasis on scholastics and sports. Sara is 11, a 6th grader and living for Scouts, swim team, violin, choir, and horses. To quote Lila "She can't understand why we don't want a stable in the back yard." Charles is 9 and in the 5th grade. "He loves sports, hates to clean up his room, likes science and is always broke. " Do some of these things have a familiar ring?

Merci beaucoup, Lila.

Meetings bring friends together, indeed .

While Dot and Bob Keeling were in Washington attending the medical conclave this autumn they visited with LaVerne and Cal Muse in Arlington.

As this Bulletin is being printed B.G. and I are off on a Mexican Holiday. The penalty of no summer vacation. After this fun in the sun, I shall be even happier to receive your letters.

They have three children: Donna, seventeen, who is interested in studying medicine; Barry, fifteen, who is active in the Scouts; and Alice Jeanne, thirteen, who plays the flute and thinks she'd like to be a veterinarian.

Alumnae Day 1963 will be June 8 so mark your calendar now .

1944 Secretary MRS. WILLIAMB. GRAHAM(Mary Alderson) 8015 Maple Lane Richmond 29, Va.

Our class baby, Barbie Stansbury, was among 870 outstanding students in the country who have been honored with annual achievement awards by the National Council of Teachers

(26)

of English. There was only one national winner from Richmond and Barbie was the only national runner-up chosen from Richmond. Her picture and a very nice write-up were in the Richmond News Leader Wednesday, December 5th.

Mary Lee Smith Chapin and Lewis were in Richmond in September. They spent the night with Miss Rudd and went to a musical program at the University where Lewis had a chance to meet some of the music faculty. He is music critic for the Christian Science Monitor in Boston.

Ann Filer reports that she and Bob took the boys (who are great Civil War fans) to Fort Sumpter last summer and stopped by Duke on the way home and visited old friends for several days. Bob had dinner in Washington on December 6th when the President and Adlai Stephenson and several other top government officials were there. Ann says they still don't understand exactly why Bob was invited. It had something to do with mentally retarded children and he doesn't work with them. Anyway, not everyone can say they've been invited to dine with the President!

Dot Ihnken has moved to Colonial Heights.

Dot's father has retired and he and her mother built a home there last winter. Her address is 1003 Forest View Drive, Colonial Heights, Virginia. I called and had a nice chat with her.

She has not gotten a job yet, except a temporary Christmas one working in a photographic store in Petersburg that Natalie Lum's family owns.

Dot sees Natalie occasionally and says that she has just recently built a new house in Prince George, which she uses on week-ends, etc. when she can get away from her pediatric practice in Petersburg.

Helen Curtis Patrick and Tom (and their 5 children) moved into a new home in Chester last May. Her address is Rt. 3, Chester, Virginia.

Helen said she comes to Richmond several times a week now since one of her boys (she has 4) broke his arm for the second time since August.

I was in Bowling Green recently and stopped b} to see Nancy Dejarnette Hansen. Had a nice visit but the only news she could tell me was that she had been married 15 years and they had never taken a vacation!

Billy and I had a very nice trip in September which Billy won selling Kemper Insurance.

We spent five days in Chicago (that's the home office) and then took the train to New York where we boarded the S. S. Brazil for a five day cruise to Bermuda. The trip would have been perfect except for a motor bike accident I had the last day in Bermuda, which has left me with a big fat scar on my forehead. I ran head-on into a coral wall!

That's all for now. How about dropping me a line before the March deadline?

1945 Secretary MRS. MARGARET HuRER (Margaret Clark) 6009 Howard Road Richmond, Virginia The following news release received this month from Clarkson College of Technology, Potsdam, New York will be of interest to all of us.

(Elizabeth Thompson) 4545 Stratford Rd .

Richmond 25, Va. News is as short this pre-Christmas season as time is: I did have a "World Series Special " announcement from Jean White Robeson stating that her "baseball team" consisting of Marty (12), Taffy (10½) and "AG" had signed a new "short stop"-James White Robeson . "Jim, " who is "fat, cute and lots of fun" according to his mother was born October 11th.

Frances Anne Beale Goode mailed a card with three items: Mary Lucy Willis Bareford moved into her new home at Urbanna this past summer---a lovely Williamsburg influenced house situated on a hill "with a view."

Bev Ryland enjoyed a week at Abingdon this past summer attending the Barter Theater's Annual Festival.

The third item concerned Julia Shelton Jacobs whose mother passed away this summer. We would like to express our sympathy to her and co Ann Jones Parker who lost her mother this October.

I understand that Ellen Hodges Proxmire has quite a large job in the fund campaign for the National Cultural Center to be constructed in Washington, D. C. Now that her son is a year old she is active in Washington affairs again.

You may be interested in a new program the Alumnae Association has launched this year for the out-of-town freshmen. I am Student Relations Chairman (for the Alumnae Board) and I'm quite enthusiastic about it. Each of thirty willing Richmond alumnae has been assigned three or four freshmen. These sponsors are to be a "friend in Richmond" to these girls in any way they wish. To start the ball rolling and introduce girls and sponsors we had an outdoor supper party for sponsors and freshmen --one hundred thirty plus-at our picnic area .

Success seemed evident. Mary Frances Bethel Wood from our class is one of the "willing sponsors" who helped me with the party.

Working with the girls is delightful. Many things have changed but the setting is still the same . It is so easy co slip into a trance of reminiscing-the calendar has flipped back fif. teen -eighteen years and then one of the girls says "Yes Ma 'am!" and abruptly it's 1962 nearly '63 and you and I as college girls are like characters in a book I read once-a long time ago .

headed for Florida co visit both sets of parent s.

Izzy's parents live in Homestead and Jay's in Lakeland. She said that the trip down and back was kind of rugged but that the visits were fine.

Lois Rynaldo just after Thanksgiving was away from her teaching at Douglas Freeman High School for about a month due to illness and an operation.

Alice Mason Cralle took a few da ys off from her teaching at Westover School to visit New York City .

Our congratulations co Marion Miller's son, John. He has achieved the rank of Eagle Scout in the troop at River Road Baptist Church.

To finish this letter we have some notes that Bev Patton Browne took on her European trip.

I'm sure you will find them interesting and I want to thank Bev for sending them co me.

"We had sixteen people in our group for our VEA month 's tour of Europe this summer . We spent a night at Stratford-on-Avon, where we attended a play, Measure for Measure at the Royal Shakespeare and then had two days in London, where every inch is filled with history .

Upon arriving at Hook of Holland, after an overnight trip by boat across the English Channel, I first realized chat I was now a 'foreigner: Holland was one of my favorite countries, because the people were so nice and friendly .

I was fascinated by the many foreign languages spoken all around us. On our sightseeing boat along the canals of the City Amsterdam , our guide had to lecture in four different languages -Dutch, German, French, and English! The languages I studied at Westhampton came in very handy. I used German more than anything else and even learned a little of a new language -Dutch.

Our hotel in Bonn, Germany, was right on the Rhine River . We enjoyed a six-hour cruise up the Rhine, where we saw the "castles on the Rhine" and the Lorelei Rock. The Black Forest also impressed us .

We arrived in Switzerland on Swiss Inde pendence Day; and, when we reached our chalet on Lake Lucerne, we had a very festive dinner in honor of the occasion, with native costumes, singing, yodeling, and flag throwing. During the three days here , we took a trip to the top of Mt. Pilatus, 7,000 feet high, by cog railway.

When we crossed the border from Austria into Italy, the Italian customs official who entered our bus said, "Americans? Go ahead!" and he threw us a kiss. This was typical of the friendly attitude of the Italians toward the Americans.

We were in Italy for ten days, and it was hard to believe that we were actually seeing the famous antiquities that we have all studied about in the history books, especially the Coli seum and the Roman Forum. I was, of course, fascinated by the "fountains of Rome," and I threw a coin in the Trevi Fountain and made a wish, which came true. One night in Rome

1947 Se cretary MRS. JoH N C. HORIGA N (Mildr ed Daffron ) 4636 Stuart Ave. Richmond, Va .

Hope you all hac a wonderful holiday season .

I wish that health and happiness will be yours throughout 1963. Among your New Year 's Resolutions make one to keep your group leader informed of your activities.

To begin with I have one correction to make .

I cold you last time about the Cumby 's camping trip. I have been told since chat it turned into a sightseeing trip to Washington, D. C., staying in hotels instead of tents .

Izzy Allin and Jay piled the four children into their station wagon in November and

of

we attended a spectacle of sound and light in the Roman Forum, which depicted the histor y of ancient Rome . Another night we saw a ver y lavish production of the opera , "Aida " (with live horses and a camel on stage) at the Baths of Caracalla . One of our four da ys in Rome was a free da y, so three of us took a trip to Naples, Sorrento, and the Isle of Capri . While in Italy we also stayed in Venice , Florence, and Genoa and had a night in San Marino, a tin y country inside of Italy and the oldest republi c in the world .

We drove along the Italian Riviera and the French Riviera, stopped at Monaco , and spent a night in Nice . Our tour ended in Paris, and we found that the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre , Notre Dame, the Follies Bergere , and outside of Paris, the Palaces of Fontainebleau and Versailles, are all really there, because we visited chem.

We flew from Paris to London and then caught our jet to New York. In one day we were in Paris, London, New York, Washington , and Richmond! I loved Europe and feel so much closer to the people than I did before. As our tour leader said, "Never again will these place s just be names in the book."

Gevie came through with not one but two newsy letters from her group.

May Lee Yook Chung writes from Honolulu that she is now advising Publications at McKinley High School where her husband Raymond is also teaching Math. The school publishes a daily newspaper, which is one of six daily high school newspapers anywhere. May Lee advises not only this but also the Yearbook, a creative writing booklet, and the senior memory book. The school even does its own printing. If anybody says the warm climate makes people lazy in Hawaii, they haven 't heard about May Lee. Cary Walker Craig writes from California to bring us up to date on her family. She and James W. Craig were married three years ago and they now have a little girl, Tracy, age ¡ 2.

She also has two other children by her first marriage, Pam , age 10, and Tim, 8. She and I should compare notes on Nursery School activi ties as she too taught when Timmy was nursery age. Cary and Kit Vander Schalie Pedersen exchange phone greetings occasionally. We were pleased to see Kit's Alumni group in the paper last issue.

Gevie also has a full schedule and then some, besides keeping a dust-in-the-corners house as she calls it, car pooling and Junior League work, she is President of the Lawyers Building and is quite a secretary there . She and Warren have two children Jon, 10, and Lisa, 9. She writes that the children in Miami are having Spanish in Elementary school. They were all relieved to have the Cuban Crisis at an end.

Barbara Rhodes Barker sent news about Bill 's opening a new veterinary hospital in Richmond with \Villiam B.

Ginny Otey Dickinson and Rosie had just gotten together in Radford at Ginny's. She stays busy with church work and keeping up with Jimmy who is in the first grade this year.

I received an article from a Palo Alto, Calif . paper, complete with picture of Dizzy Stuart Alexander. The article was probably written last summer and told of Dizzy working toward her Ph.D. in geology . She was going up into the Sierra mountains looking for metamorphic rock. She became interested in geology after college when she went to work for a metals company in New York in the exploration de partment of the company's Canadian branch .

Their address: Lexington Apartments # .20, 2455 Rivermont Ave. Cos Washburn Barnes is teaching English in the same high school in Martinsville as Linda Goodman Lewis. They have a daughter and a son.

Polly Newman Smith, John Rand, and their two children are living in Charlottesville where he is working at the University of Virginia Hospital.

Betsy Evans has changed her address during the past year. She has returned to Cedar Point, Machinac Island in Michigan.

Bob is on the faculty at R.P .I. Roberta Cohen Cohen and Allen have two sons, Jackie, 8, and Eric, 5. Roberta is teaching Spanish in several Richmond schools.

We ran into Sue Perry Downing and Tom in Miller & Rhoads before Christmas. They both looked so well . Warsaw certainly agrees with them. Sue would like to come to Richmond for a luncheon get-together of 54ers.

Let's do this early in '63.

For the first time in a long while we have news of Patsy Borkey Davis. Having been in Richmond only a year she and Ronnie have moved this January to Croften Ave., Waynesboro, Va. where he is with Reynolds Metals.

They have two daughters, Kim, 5, and Susan, 3.

While in Europe she covered many miles in her little Volkswagen and also had opportunities to travel to Egypt and parts of Asia .

After her return to the states in the spring she did counseling at a summer camp. For her next assignment Barbara hopes to be with special services in Korea.

1955 Secretary Mrs. Zed J. Wampler, Jr. (Jody Weaver) 6307 Colebrook Road Richmond 27, Virginia A wonderful letter from Jean Williams Lumsden arrived just one day t00 late to make the last Bulletin. She writes that they expect to be in Durham, N. C. for another two years while Ernie is getting his PhD at Duke in the field of experimental psychology. "No, he doesn't work with white rats, but with pigeons, of all things", she says. Their three boys, Mark (6) and in the first grade, Eric (3½), and Karl (13 months) are keeping Jean busy. Their address is 708 Parker St. Durham, N. C. We have a brand new bride in the class!

We have three new babies this time but my information is very spotty. Ann Pettit Getts and Harland welcomed a new son, John Richard, on September 17, 1962, to join Mary Catherine (4) and David (21/z). Polly Bundick Dize and Colburn have a new daughter, born September 25, 1962. Their tally so far is one boy and two girls. Myra Embrey Wormald and Bob have a new son, born in November.

Bob keeps busy with two churches to serve, scout work, youth activities, and the like. The whole Baldridge family has been hit by camping fever and they have thoroughly explored North Carolina and beyond, including a trip last summer to Tennessee and back through the Smoky Mountains.

This fall I headed back to school to take a class in the Evening College of RPI. It certainly has been a long time!

Our deepest sympathy goes to Alma Pitt Perkins on the loss of her daughter.

Please let me hear from all of you whenever you can spare a few minutes for a quick note.

1957 SPcretary MRS. GEORGEM. BALL (Margaret Logan) 2S Omaha Avenue Rockaway, New Jersey Big news from Cathy Blair Armbrister-she and David are the proud parents of a do-ityourself gang. Their oldest boy, Blair, now has twin brothers for playmates. Kenneth Allen and Glenn Kevin were born August 27, and their combined birthweight was an impressive 14 pounds, 7 ounces!

Nancy Bertsch Ratchford and Bill have bought a new splitlevel home in Landover Hills, Maryland. She is having fun being a full-time housewife for the first time in five years. Living near the Ratchfords is Hope Horney, who was in our class Freshman year. Her married name is Wendt, and she teaches a Saturday morning art class in addition to helping her husband do research for his thesis.

Another couple who have a brand-new house are Helen Melton Vandermark and her husband Gerald. They were married July 20, 1962, and

[ 30}

live in Williamsburg. Despite the contemporary surroundings of their private life they deal with tradition daily-Helen has kept her job with Colonial Williamsburg and her husband works for the National Park Service at Jamestown.

Rita Davidson Stein and Jerry moved to Alexandria on September 1. With their daughter Michele they visited the Wax Museum, Mt. Vernon, the Smithsonian, the Capital and several other spots of interest. Rita says of this ambitious sightseeing, "All it takes is time" .

I admire her attitude, but it takes an out-oftowner to get me near New York! When Mary Elizabeth Hix Minegar came to see us around the first of December, we spent a day in the city, and, despite aching feet and museum fatigue, had a fine time. Mary Elizabeth lives in Erie, Pennsylvania, and had just finished doing publicity for William Scranton's victorious gubernatorial campaign. She has also done some newspaper work, but her main interest continues to be the writing of fiction. Since her husband is also a writer, she uses a family name as a non de plume, so watch for Mary Elizabeth Baldwin. On the day we went into New York, we called on '57s contribution to the International Set, Mary Katherine Davis, who got back from Stuttgart in September. She now lives in Greenwich Village near NYU in a new apartment building she describes as "multicolored." In addition to her work as a programmer for computer systems, she is taking courses towards her masters at NYU. She loves New York and wants to stay there, unless another trip to Europe is in the offing. To clarify this, ITT, the company she works for, is to Europe what AT&T is to this country .

Incidently, both she and Mary Elizabeth are known to Yankee friends as, simply, "Mary."

Probably has something to do with the climate up here.

Lovey Jane Long Walker has found herself a jewel and a job. She says the jewel is "unspoiled" two-year-old Randy, and the job is assistant to the selling supervisor for sportswear and gifts at Miller and Rhoads Willow Lawn branch.

Bev Ambler Richardson is still in Memphis, Charles having about a year to go before his internship begins. This keeps her a long way from home, but fortunately Charlie's family is nearby and they spent Christmas with them.

Another doctor's wife, Lee Feild Griffiths, resigned from the work force when Charles finished med school. They are now in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, and Charles is interning at Akron General Hospital. On October 12, Virginia Epes was born, so that phrase "resigned from the work force" is open to interpretation!

The baby is named for her maternal grandmother, also a Westhampton grad. Lee misses her stimulating work at the National Institute of Health only a little in the excitement and fulfillment of her new role. (I never realized how many classmates are connected with the medical profession until I started this paragraph!) Carol Dickerson Kauffman has given up teaching this year to stay home with Peg, aged two, full-time. The Kauffmans are looking forward to Chester's graduation from med school this June, but have made no specific plans beyond then. To complete the medical news wrap-up, Chris Herrin, who was the student nurse while we were seniors, has been Mrs .

Richard Steen since August '61. The Steens live in Florence, Mississippi and have a daughter, Melanie Ann, who was born June 15, 1962.

Ruth Ann Powell Harris resigned the teaching job she has held for the past five years for the usual happy reason-the birth of Nancy Deane on November 10. Ruth Ann and Vernon live in Hampton-he is with the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, working as a senior designer in the Atomic Power Division.

Meg Kidd Tenney is a real commuter's wife these days now that Lin has begun working on his PhD (Chemistry) at UVa. She is teach-

ing in Richmond until their house is sold and they can move nearer to Charloccesville.

Kakie Parr Jenkins and Dick are now stationed at Ft. Benning, Georgia. After Dick's return from Korea, they enjoyed a 58 day leave, visiting families and picking up antiques.

She says the children accept their Daddy as if he'd never been away, and they are all proud of his recent promotion to Captain. Kakie has found friends they've been stationed with before -a neighbor, in fact, is Joan Baird Hunnicutt, Westhampton '58!

That's all for now ... keep the news coming to the group leaders, to whom I am so grateful.

The next deadline is March I. 1958 Secretary

Miss SuzANNE Kmo 7308 Normandy Drive Richmond 29, Virginia Our 5th year reunion will be held June 7-9.

Circle these dates and make your plans to attend. More detailed plans for the weekend will be sent to you soon.

DOROTHY SPARKS PROMOTED IN JAPAN Miss Dorothy Rose Sparks, ' 59, has been named head of the English Department at the University of Tokyo .

Dorothy, who has been teaching at that uni. versity s¡in,ce 1961, was sent on a special assignment by the Japanese government to teach in southern Japan this summer. In addition to these accomplishments, she recently edited an English textbook for the university .

Such high honors are to be expected of a girl like Dorothy, however, for she displayed great potential while at W esthampton. While she majored in sociology with studies in Bible, Dorothy worked 25 hours a week as a secretary-receptionist-bookkeeper in a Richmond business firm. A dean's list student, Dorothy still managed to find time for the Glee Club and for Freshman Counseling.

After graduation, Dorothy continued her 5tudies at Emory University in the School of Theology. She did not merely study the subject; she practiced it each week end at Cross Keys Methodist Church in Macon.

Her duties there consisted of organizing teacher-training sessions, assisting in over-all attendance build-up, and training a junior choir. She also organized recreation programs for primary and young people's age groups, and even found time to teach the church school workers how to use audiovisual aids in their classes.

Dorothy is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Sparks of 1417 We5tbrook Avenue, Richmond, Va.

Harry Walker Garrett, III arrived on May 14, 1962. Mary Jean Simpson Garrett and Harry are the proud parents. They are living in Bedford, Virginia, which Mary Jean describes as being "on the way to everywhere."

Dottie Goodman Lewis writes that life on Long Island is fine, except that David has been too busy at the hospital to allow time for many visits into the big city. Wendy Kalman has visited them several times. Wendy is working in New York now and has plans to move soon to California.

I was delighted to receive a newsy letter from Phebe Goode Holladay. She and Pete are living in Front Royal, Virginia, where Pete teaches Algebra and coaches football and track. He is also doing some graduate work at Madison. Two little sons keep Phebe more than busy-Jim is three and David one year old. Somehow she also manages to find time for some substituting at the County High School. They have just moved into a new home and invite '58ers to drop in when they come off the Skyline Drive.

Becky Branch Faulconer sent news chat Annecce Masters left in October for Germany where she will teach for the Armed Forces.

Becky also wrote that Carol Brie Griffiths and Harold are in Salt Lake City, where Harold is doing his internship. After chis ends in July, he will go into Plastic Surgery Residency.

Word just came that Beverly Coker Hobb's younger brother was killed in an automobile accident. We extend our sympathy to Bev and to the entire Coker family.

I saw Susie Prillaman Wiltshire ac the Mosque in the fall. She and Charles are living in Richmond again, and Susie is teaching parttime at Collegiate School.

Pat Doggett Colonna and Bill were in Richmond for an evening in November after a business trip to Washington. While they were in Washington they visited with Beverly Cok er Hobbs and her husband.

Carolyn Smith Yarbrough visited in Richmond in December. She reports that lif e in Texas is fine, but she and Dabney look forward to getting back to Virginia after one more year. Sarah Ashburn Holder had a bridge party for "Smitty" during her visit here . Nancy Goodwyn Hill, Kay Crawford Trimble, Carolyn Moss Hartz attended. Everyone was delighted to have a chance to get together again. Even though there are many '58ers living in Richmond, we rarely take the time for visits, except when someone from out-of-town comes.

We are in the midst of the usual Christmas rush here, with concerts and special programs coming thick and fast. I spent a weekend in Pittsburgh recently to attend the dedication of a new organ built by Mr. von Beckerath, who built our U of R organ. It was fun to get away for two days and to visit with some old friends in the "organ world."

News for the next Bulletin is due March 15th.

Please keep me posted!

Better luck on the next pumpkin pie, Dale!

Tuckie Smart Paxton is being kept busy by her 4th graders. As she says and as many of you know, they can really "keep you on your toes".

Alice Hall has really been on the go since her return from India. By the time she finishes I'm sure all of her speaking engagements, she will know most of the Richmond population and quite a few from the outlying area.

Along with several earlier Westhampton graduates, Alice and I are thinking of starting a Federal Reserve Bank Chapter of Alumnae when we are joined in the near future by Betty Lou Blankenship. During the summer Betty Lou became the mother of a little girl.

There was not an abundance of news for this issue, so please don't forget to send yours to your group leader or to me in time for the Spring issue.

Mrs. Leslie Booker, alumnae secretary, spoke to the group in three twenty-minute sessions. We feel that the evening was very successful in making Westhampton and the entire University better known in Balti-

at the Owl Restaurant near Parksley, Virginia, on May 19, 1962. The meeting was presided over by Mrs. H. P. B. Rue, Jr., president. Mrs. Gordon Bloxom (Elizabeth Morris Downes) gave the invocation.

After a delicious luncheon the entertainment feature of the program was given first. The speaker of the afternoon was Mrs. Edwardo March, formerly of Havana, Cuba. Mrs. March and Dr. March, presently chief anesthesiologist of the local N. A. Memorial Hospital, came to us with their three children in 1960 as they wished to rear their youngsters in a democratic, Christian society. Both Dr. and Mrs . March hold Ph.D. degrees from the University of Havana and Mrs. March had taught in the school system of that city so she was well qualified to speak on her chosen subject, "Education in Cuba".

It was an informative, interesting lecture and greatly enjoyed by her audience.

During the business session that followed, Mrs. Richard Tull of Pocomoke, Maryland, was elected as the incoming president. A motion was made, seconded and carried that a donation of $25.00 be made to the Westhampton Swimming Pool Fund. There was an attendance of 22 members and 3 guests.

Alumnae The fall tea of the Westhampton Club of the Eastern Shore was held in the home of Miss May Edmonds, Accomac, Virginia. She was assisted in receiving and serving her guests by her sister, Miss Ellen Edmonds, a music graduate of Brenau College-Conservatory at Gainesville, Georgia. The home was beautifully decorated with chrysanthemums and roses.

Mrs. Richard Tull, president, presided over feature was the meeting. The entertainment presented first. The speaker was one of our own number, Mrs. Louise Figgs Nicolls, class of 1928 at Westhampton. Mrs. Nicolls related highlights of a recent trip to Europe. This tour was a Christmas present and she was one of a party of four that included her son, sister It was of seventeen days and brother-in-law. duration and the places visited were many sections of the country of Portugal and the cities of Paris and London. Mrs. Nicolls spoke in an informal, interesting manner and her account of her travels was enthusiastically received.

When business was concluded a lovely tea was served by the Misses Edmonds assisted in the dining room by Mesdames Alfred and John W. Edmonds. This social time was very enjoyable.

Due to very inclement weather there was a small attendance---only fifteen members. Among was Mrs. Jeanice Johnson those attending Roberts (Mrs. W. T.) class of 1943, now residing in Williamsburg but when living on the Shore a former president of the club. She received a warm welcome.

Clarke was thinking of the footsteps of University of Richmond students as he sup ervi sed the replacement of slate stair tread s in Ryland Hall.

The slabs of slate were 1Âź inches thick when they were installed in 1914 and they were still that thick at the sides when they were removed, but near the center where the footsteps fell heaviest for half a century they were worn to less than a half inch.

(See photo) Because of the unevenness they constitute a "tripping hazard," said Clarke, superintendent of grounds and buildings, and had to come out.

How many footsteps, how many "boots moving up and down again" were reguired to wear down the slate treads? Clarke shrugged his shoulders and answered, "millions."

In the beginning, in the first years after the college moved to the new campus, there were footsteps of students going to class

All of the beating taken by the slate was not from feet that mov ed joyfully . There were the feet of students moving up for a "chewing out " by the dean for some collegiate ind iscreti on. And , of course , there we re th e foot steps of students moving down - and out of college - after unsuccessful pleas to the "lame duck " committee , more formally known as the committee on academic defici ency .

There are many good reasons for reviewing your Will. For instance, the needs of your beneficiaries may change . Then, too, your own situation may vary. Or your Will may now be ineffective if it was made in another state . Furthermore, you may wish to include your Alma Mater, if you have not already done so. In any event, it is wise to review your Will regularly.

'Where There's Not a Will . .. your estate may be divided according to laws of intestacy. Such a division might be quite different from your own wishes. Intestacy (not having a will) sometimes prevents proper consideration of the best interests of your loved ones and may also result in a reduction of your estate because of tax laws.

Therefore, your final testament is an important document. It indicates the influences in your life which you judge most valuable .

Just Like Suburbia, But

~GUAMIS GOOD'

By LILLIAN BELK YOUELL '45 The idyllic charm of the South Sea islands had fascinated me from the days when I read Swiss Family Robinson, but I never thought I would have the opportunity to visit that part of the world. When my husband, Cmdr. Rice M. Youell, received his orders to report to Guam ( as Force Legal Officer for Commander Naval Forces Marianas), these old dreams came suddenly back to life. What would the tropics really be like?

Guam was not exactly like those descriptions of untouched islands such as one might have imagined. There were the lovely shrubs and trees typical of the tropics. The foilage was vibrant with yellow, red and doublepink hibiscus, shell and white ginger, breadfruit trees, palm and banana trees and the flame trees which are an explosion of brilliant red during the summer months. The "boonies" abounded with tangantangan and ironwood as well as clumps of giant bamboo and the sunsets beyond the Glass Breakwater were beyond description.

The animal life was tropical too. The gecko, a harmless lizard that emits a clucking sound, kept down the insect population and often resided in our quarters! The extremely large African snail, said to have been introduced by the Japanese for food, could be found on most shrubs. But I realized that these were tropical appendages to a 20th century American island.

The native Guamanians were no longer the pure Chamorros of yesteryear, thanks to Western influence dating back to Magellan's visit to the island in 1592. Two centuries of Spanish rule, American ocrupation since the Spanish-American War and the brief Japanese occupation in the 1940's has robbed the natives of their pure racial stock. The Guamanians, however, have preserved much of the Chamorro heritage and have passed the language from generation to generation .

Most statesiders learn the greeting, "Hafa Adai, " which is similar to "Aloha ."

Guam is rich in legends. One of the most common b:ts of folklore is the belief in the Taotaomona. These are the spirits of the ancient Chamorros and supposedly dwell aJtthe graveyards, banyan trees or Latte stones which are found in certain areas of the island. The Guamanians who believe in this legend will either request permission to pass these dwelling places or will whistle to warn the Taotaomona of their approach. One of the maids who worked for a friend of ours told of a death in her family because proper respect was not paid to the Taotaomona !

Guam forms part of the strategic defense system of the United States in the South

Pacific and it was natural that the military installations would dominate this island which was only 30 miles long and 8 miles wide . Our home was not made of leaves and bamboo sticks but of pre-cast concrete.

Situated atop Nim itz Hill, iit commanded a panoramic view of the Philippine Sea and contained all the conveniences of a modern Richmond home .

This "white man's tropics," so-called because of an annual mean temperature of 80 degrees, allows year-round outdoor living.

Our two sons, John ( 13) and Bill ( 11) , participated in many sports. They played baseball in the Navy Junior League, took judo instructions, golf, swimming and snorkeling. We used a mask and snorkel to inspeck the marine life in the lagoons and beaches, watching the tropical fish of all varieties in their natural habitat.

One of our most mistaken notions was that we would escape the "suburban trap" on the quiet island of Guam! The organization man had been there before we arrived and we soon found ourselves in bridge clubs, on committees, involved in PT A and on the board of the Officers Wives' Club. We met more dignitaries on Guam in seventeen months than in our five years in Washington ! .Almost every weekend there was a reception for some visiting brass. But like the suburban trap, it was of our own making and we really enjoyed it.

Our proximity to the Philippines and Japan made it essential that we include trips to these countries during our tour of duty on Guam. Last December the family took a ship to Manila where we spent the weekend sightseeing. Then we drove to Baguio, a city a mile high in the northern mountains. Our cottage there was complete with houseboy.

The porch faced a magnificent view of other mountain tops and a deep valley below covered with tropical growth . One day we drove to the Igorot village. Here there was no sign of civilization-no running water, no electricity, the crudest tools-yet even the children were busy sanding wood and creating the lovely wood carvings. Th ;s art has been handed down from father to son in the Igorot fam ;lies.

The Phil ippines present widely separated contrasts in culture. On the same narrow roads carabao pulling sleds and small Philippine horses drawing homemade carts vie with air-conditioned station wagons ( in which we were fortunately seated!) for the right of way.

below the living level. Each village has a congested market place which is unlike anything we've ever seen ( or smelled).

During the past summer we flew to Japan for an 18-day visit. Highlights of our stay in Tokyo were viewing the harbor from Tokyo Tower, walking down the Ginza, shopping at Mikimoto's and spending an afternoon at the Kokosai Theater. We took a train to Kamakura where we rented pedicabs for the day. These are three-wheeled bicycle affairs (a sort of mechanized rickshaw) equipped with cabs for the fare-paying passenger . The coolie starts them by pedaling and then uses a motor. We sped through the narrow streets to the famous Buddha, the Golden Goddess and a Shinto shrine .

Next we went to Gora in the Hakone Mts. from which we caught a glimpse of famous Mt. Fuji . The cable car ride from one peak to another and then down a mountain was an exciting experience. The tiny car was packed with 10 persons and seemed altogether quite a load to be suspended from the single strand that stretched across the yawning abyss below. Each afternoon while in the hotel in Gora, the family took a hotsy bath!

Putting on our Japanese kimonas, we took the elevator down to the basement floor and entered the Family Room which was reserved for our use and consisted of two large pools in a steam filled tiled room . One pool was sulphur and one plain water just short of the boiling point, it seemed. After about five minut es in the pool, having submerged slowly, we were red as beets. Usually, in order to take advantage of our allotted thirty minutes, we would take cold showers and then return for a few more minutes . The boys said they've never been so clean!

In Y okosuka we walked around the town and in and out of the various shops. Every one in Japan seems to run a store. There are about three types-the china shops predom inate. Most of the Japanese people in the cities wear Western style clothes. In the large department stores even the manikins in the windows are American girls!

A sidelight of our off-island trips was the chaos in which our funds revolved. We left Guam with U.S. currency, travelers' checks and the 80 pesos ( or yen) we were allowed to bring into the foreign country.

Upon arrival we had to convert some money to scrip (Military Payment Certificates) as that was the only acceptable money on U.S. Bases. Cab drivers and other indigenous personnel could only be paid in foreign currency. MPC's could be converted back to U.S. money on departure, but the left-over

foreign money was good only for souvenirs.

It was a trick trying to come out even with the right kind of money.

We shall never forget those vacations. On other occasions we visited Saipan and Okinawa, so do not be surpr ised if we consider ourselves experts on the Orient!

Even an island paradise has its drawbacks.

The winds of Typhoon Karen struck Guam at over 200 miles per hour on November 11, 1962, destroying or carrying away homes and installations. The majority of the civilian homes were demolished , ships were sunk and every naval activity reported losses. Our own pre-cast concrete home withstood the storm, but the roof was jarred, a window was shabtered and our deep freeze was blown off the porch and down the hill out of sight!

We were without water, electricity, telephone or radio for some time. The schools were so badly damaged that they had to be closed for an indefinite period of itime. It was wonderful the way people worked together to restore order. Within a week we had water and electricity.

The conditions of the schools after the typoon led us to the conclusion that it would be advisable for us to return to the States.

My husband, who is quite busy with claims and litigation growing out of the typhoon, will complete his tour of duty on Guam this June.

My notions about the idyllic charms of tropical islands have changed, but I can join many other Navy families in stating that "Guam is good."

Clubs

(Continued from page 34) mouth got together for a morning coffee the Saturday before Thanksgiving at Jane Van Leeuwen's home in Larchmont.

We discussed plans that had been set forth in a letter sent earlier to all the membership for giving "neighborhood card parties." This will be our fund raising project for the year. The parties will be given during January and February.

Our next meeting will be our spring luncheon at the Golden Triangle Motel.

The Washington Area Club held its fall luncheon in October at the Charcoal Steak House in the Holiday Inn, Arlington. Nearly 40 members were present and enjoyed our annual "t reat" from Leslie Booker as she brought us up-to -date on the events and new faces on campus. Orders for the Scull calendars and Kathryn Beich candies were filled, netting the club slightly over $100. Plans were discussed to sponsor a concert by the National Symphony Orchestra in early spring.

In November the club participated in the Associated Alumnae Clubs' College Night held in the District. Again Leslie was called on and did an excellent presentation of Westhampton to many interested girls. Betty Rosenberger was our chairman for this event. Virginia Gues t also represented the University at Wheaton High in Montgomery County, Md., on a simi lar evening.
