The Wisdom of the Past "EVERY

ONE OF

YOU THE LEADER."

When

Xenophon spoke these words, more than 2,000 years ago, he appealed to that spirit of individual responsibility that made the Greek character and nation among the most admired in all history. With that spirit, the army of Xenophon marched to a seemingly impossible victory. With that spirit, men and nations have marched to greatness since the world began. Our own nation won its freedom and built its strength as a nation of leaders. When we lose this spirit of independence, when we surrender our individual responsibilities to an expanding government, when we ignore the erosion of our personal liberties - then we sap our strength as a nation, and endanger the freedom of generations yet to come. Let us accept the challenge of Xenophon. Let us ~ be leaders.

R. W. Nuckols, Richard C. Walden,

" If it hadn't been for Mr . Stone I wouldn't have gotten through college." Perhaps a score of alumni have uttered that sentence in praise and appreciation of the helping hand given them, particularly in those fearsome depression years, by Robert M . Stone. Bob Stone worked his way through college; in fact, he worked his way through life. He had respect for honest toil and was quick to aid students whose financial difficulties were making rocky their road to graduation. He carried a double load in college, working in the treasurer's office under the late B. West Tabb and in the classroom where he won his LL.B. degree in 1930 and was admitted to the State Bar. In 1939 when he was elevated to business manager, Mr. Tabb said publicly that Mr. Stone had "served the University with marked ability and with great loyalty." In later years his service to the University included the many-faceted job of directing the activities of the Student Center building. For him it was a labor of love and again one which kept him in close and daily association with the students. A native of Buckingham County, Mr . Stone attended Fork Union Military Academy. His education was interrupted by World War I in which he engaged, as a sergeant, in active service at the front. After the war, he worked for a while as a clerk at the Westmoreland Club but resigned to accept a job at the University in order that he might continue his education. One of the students he met in the treasurer's office was Mildred Pulliam who came in to cash a check. He married her. She gave him two children, Robert, '50, of Roanoke, and Mrs. T . Hugh Nelson of Upper Montclair, N. J., who in turn have given him six grandchildren. Wherever Mr . Stone goes, he makes friends who recognize his worth, and appreciate his unassuming modesty. Fork Union, where he prepared for the University, made him a member of its board of trustees and over a period of years he has had a significant role in directing the destiny of this progressive school. He currently serves as secretary of the Fork Union board. A devout member of the First Baptist Church of Richmond, he has served for many years as a member of its board of deacons . He served as treasurer of Theta Chi's Alumni Association for 25 years and also as president of the Alumni Board . He was active in the organization of the Alumni Council in 1934 and served continuously as its treasurer until his retirement this year. All of his career was marked by one word, Service. He gave generously of himself to the University over a period of 42 years and now at retirement age he deserves the leisure that he has never known. He carries with him the affectionate best wishes of the alumni of the University of Richmond. His "contributions to the strengthening of this institution," as President Modlin said, "have had an indelible influence that will be felt through all the years to come."

Alumni Day Fire Department almost washes out Barbecue! Alumni Da y was a huge success despite an over-zealous fire department that threatened to wash the barbecu e right off the men u. Few of the hundreds of men and women who partook of the juicy spareribs knew that A lton Williams, professor and chef, had had to perform a minor miracle to get the food ready on time. Alt who learned the art of barbecuing from 'his father out on the west coast, had supervised the digging of the pit and the cutti ng of the wood to the most exact specifications. The fire was made-a nd ban ked-so that there would be a deep bed of fiery faggots over which to barbecue the ribs. In the early morning a fire truck , passing the scene on the return trip from another errand, halte d beside the pit -a nd filled it fu ll of water! When Prof. Williams got the word at 5 o'clock in the morning, he spra ng into action . He supervised th e removal of the muck and the laying of the wood for the new fire. At 4:30 o'clock the rib s were barbecued to a queen's taste for the alumni and their guests who fell to heartily after witnessing our Spiders defeat William and Mary in baseball, 11 to 2 . After the baseball game the old grads and their guests attended a pops concert in Ca nnon Memorial Chapel with Jack Jarrett wield ing the baton. It was a happy ending to a day "'.hich began with 8: 30 classes for early-nsers. Registration on the Student. Center lawn , sight-seeing tours and entertainment by student groups occupied the morning hours. At the luncheon the old grads gave a big hand-an d a bigger check- to guest of honor Robert M. Stone, '30, who retires this year after serving the University in several impo rtant capacities for 42 years.

Alumnae Day Swimming Pool Dedication Highlights Festivities "I know this is the most beautiful swimming pool in the entire world ." That was the estimate of Mrs. Frances Anderson Stallard, president-elect of the Westhampton College Alumnae Association and chairman of the committee which gave leadership to the three-year crash program that brought in $125,000 of the $185 ,000 raised by alumnae . Mrs . Stallard's estimate was also the consensus of Westhampton alumnae, young and old, who gathered from far and near to dedicate the Fanny Graves Crenshaw swimming pool on Alumnae Day, June 8. They agreed it was worth waiting for. They were proud that the great majority of Westhampton's 3,000 alumnae had contributed to the five-lane, 75-foot pool which is named for Westhampton 's first director of physical education and one of only two survivors (Dean May L. Keller is the other) of the original faculty which came to Westhampton in 1914. Seven memorial plaques were unveiled at the colorful dedication exercises over which Mrs . Mary Owen Bass of Wilmington, Del., presided as president of the Alumnae Association. The dedicatory speech was made by Mrs . May Thompson Evans who , at the conclusion of her remarks, snipped the Red and Blue ribbons extending across the pool. Mrs. Evans, a special assistant and editor in the Department of Health, Education and Welfare in Washington , hailed the new pool and the resulting aquatic program as an important contribution to the physical fitness program at Westhampton. She called attention to President Kennedy 's assertion that " the softening process of our civilization continues to carry on its persistent eros10n." At the luncheon which followed, the alumnae expressed their affection and esteem for Mrs . Leslie Sessoms Booker, alumnae secretary, by presenting her with a silver dish. The occasion was her 20th anniversary as alumnae secretary.

TO LESLIEWITH LOVE. Mrs. Leslie Sessoms Booker, for 20 years executive secretary of the Westhampton College Alumnae Association, receives an ovation from the old grads and a silver bowl, presented by Mrs. Harriet Sharon Willingham, a member of the University's board of trustees.

Fund-RaisingCampaignAnnounced Three New Buildings Badly Needed

Announcing plans to conduct a fund-raising campaign in the city of Richmond between November 1964 and April 1965 for funds needed for the erection of essential buildings, President Modlin listed three as rating top priority : A new dormitory for men. A building downtown to house University College. A fine arts building. Relatives and friends of the 1963 graduating class who a few hours later crowded into the auditorium of the First Baptist Church for the commencement exercises were in agreement that a fourth building also should rate the priority ilisit: an auditoruim . on the campus. The weatherman's forecast of likely showers in the evening forced the decision to move the exercises from the Luther H. Jenkins Greek Theater into the church auditorium where admission was by ticket only. Some who failed to gain admittance to the crowded building were unhappy, particularly those who, second guessing the weatherman, pointed out that no rain fell. President Modlin' s announcement, following the morning meeting of the board of trustees, that the fund-raising campaign would be launched, was hailed with approval by the University family, including many alumni in the metropolitan Richmond area. In announcing the board's decision to conduct the campaign, President Modlin said the amount to be sought, the extent of the solicitation and the timing of the various phases of the campaign would be determined "in due course." The sharp increase in the number of resident students, coupled with the -decrease in the percentage of commuting students has given urgency to the always pressing problem of dormitories for men. Dean Robert F. Smart has predicted that 80 per cent of the Richmond College students by the end of the current decade will be from outside the metropolitan Richmond are. This contrasts with the 50-50 ratio which normally prevailed prior to World War II. The University has been unable to keep pace with the increased demand for dormitory accommodations despite the fact that two of the four permanent dormitories (Wood Hall and Robins Hall) were constructed since 1956 and another is now being rushed to completion for use in September. Dr.

Modlin told the trustees that the University has an immediate need for two more dormiitories and he foresees the need for a third. These dormitories are needed to accommodate non-Richmond students now forced to live in the community . President Modlin regarded as equally urgent the erection of a building downtown for Univer sity College which began operation this session as the seventh division of the University. Nine students of this newest division were among the 347 men and women who received degrees at the University's 133rd commencement. University College was created to serve metropolitan Richmond in four fields: ( 1) An evening program of college credit courses leading to the degree of bachelor of commerce ( the area formerly served by the evening division of the School of Business Administration) ; (2) An evening program of graduate courses leading to the degrees of master of commerce and master of humanit;es; (3) A Business Management Center providing both on-campus and in-plant training for business and industry ( some 40 Richmond business executives attended a conference on the University campus a week after commencement to hear outlined the program of the center and to meet its new director, Richard S. Underhill, a former executive vice president of a Michigan equipment manufacturing company); ( 4) A junior college offering two years of liberal arts subjects to full-time day students living in the Richmond area. seniors who The capped-and-gowned marched into the beautiful sanctuary of the First Baptist Church composed the second largest graduating class in the history of the University . The commencement speaker, Dr. Walter Pope Binns, reminded them that they were already soldiers, willingly or not, in an idealogical battle for the "minds of men." This battle could be decided and the victory won, he said, without the dropping of a bomb. The end may be foretold when the uncommitted millions that are now looking on have decided which course they will follow." The commencement was a sad occasion for the widow, parents and other members of the family of David Ross Goode, one of the most talented members of the Richmond College class, who was killed in an auto-

[ 4]

mobile accident shortly before graduation. His bachelor of science degree was awarded posthumously. A great many of the degree winners-57 per cent in Richmond College-will go on to graduate and professional schools. For those who elected to sell their services, the prospects were rosier than at any time in the school's history, especially for the very best students and most particularly for those who had outstanding undergraduate careers in the natural sciences and mathematics. Starting salaries ranged upward to $7200 and two of those in the top bracket were Westhampton College mathematics majors who were starting at $6650. Among the most encouraging developments was ,the upswing in teachers' salaries which ranged from $3900 to $4900 for ten months and averaged $4400. In addition to the degrees in course, the University conferred six honorary degrees. John J. Wicker Jr., '13, Richmond attorney and civic leader, and Charles M. Edwards Jr., '25, dean of the New York University School of Retailing, received Doctor of Laws degrees. Woodford B. Hackley, professor emeritus of Latin and secretarytreasurer of ,the Virginia Baptist Historical Society, was made a Doctor of Letters, and Floyd D. Gottwald of Richmond, chairman of the board of the Ethyl Corporation, Doctor of Commercial Science. Ralph J. Kirby , '2 1, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church of Portsmouth , and Harry Y. Gamble, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church of Roanoke, received the degree of Doctor of Divinity . Dr . Gamble, in preaching the baccalaureate sermon the night preceding graduation, told the graduates that the answers to life's "big questions" cannot be found in textbook s or test ,tubes but are "born of faith and hope ." "The neat categories of human reason break down," he said, "in the search for ultimate truth." Each man must struggle, Gamble said, to "discover" himself and his relationship to God. This discovery will be made only by ",those who are willing to commit themselves to an ultimate decision and never to those who ... simply wish to initiate great discussion of philosophical and religious themes as an occasion for their own academic display."

A man of broad interests whose favorite pastime is taking long walks is the new president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland . He is W. Braddock Hickman, University of Richmond '33, whose outstanding career in the fields of economics, education and finance led to his appointment in February, 1960, as senior vice president of the bank he has headed since May 1. Ever since coming to the bank Brad has expressed confidence in a "bright future" for the Fourth Federal Reserve District. This embraces Ohio, western Pennsylvania, eastern Kentucky and the panhandle of West Virginia . .. the "Ruhr of America." The Cleveland Fed, with assets of $4Â˝ billion, is the fourth largest of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks which, with the Board of Governors at Washington, D. C., comprise the central banking system of the United States. A measure of his sense of the humanities is the fact that in less than three and a half years Brad has gotten to know many of the 1,600 staff members in the Cleveland office and its branches at Cincinnati and Pittsburgh by their first names . His almost infinite capacity for hard work is well-remembered by his '33 classmates. To help pay his way through four years at the university Brad played Âˇ the saxophone with a dance orchestra. He also played in the University of Richmond band ; was elected vice president of the Economics Club; was a member of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity and, before obtaining his Bachelor of Arts degree, had been elected to Phi Beta Kappa, the national honorary scholastic fratern ity. Brad received a Ph.D. degree in economics from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, the city where he was born on April 20, 1911. While at Johns Hopkins he was a fellow of the Social Science Research Council. Between 1937 and 1942 he was a member of the faculties of Princeton and Rutgers Universities and of the Institute for Advanced Study. During World War II he served as a lieutenant in the United States Naval Reserve, specializing in exterior ballistics, statistics and automatic computing devices. After the war Brad was director of the Corporate Bond Research Project of the National Bur eau of Economi c Research, Inc., and became supervisor of economic studies for the N ew York life Insurance Company. In 195 6 he beca:me associated with Ameri can Airlines, Inc., New York City, as dir ector of economic research. The following year he was promoted to assistant vice presid ent- economic research and played a major role in the financing of American Airlines ' jet equipment. He left that position in Febru ary 1960, to become senior vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland . "My job," Brad said upon his appoint-

serve Bank," he said, "are divided into two main categories. One is monetary policy, related to the economic outlook, employ ment, and so on. The second involves services performed for banks, the Government and business generally . "Monetary policy is more an art than a science. You could write volumes about it, but little that would have uniform validity. It is a matter which must be specifically tailored to the changing economic environ ment. "The service functions of a Federal Reserve Bank remain fairly constant, at least over short periods of time, and therefore can be discussed with some meaning. "As a newcomer to central banking I am impressed by the volume and variety of our operations," Brad declared. "For instance, we are the bank of issue for all currency and coin that is needed in our District. Every month we pay out $150 million in currency and $12 million in coin. "We process over a million checks each working day. We are sorting magnetic ink encoded checks on high speed electronic equipment to keep pace with this growing avalanche of paper. "As fiscal agents for the U. S. Government we issue E Bonds for payroll plan savers; issue and redeem other Treasury financing; pay coupons from U. S. Government bonds; receive withheld tax deposits from employers; accept deposits from post offices; redeem food stamps for the Department of Agriculture; and burn up unfit Treasury currency. "We hold huge amounts of securities of member banks in safekeeping. This service saves time and money for banks that want to buy or sell securities, perhaps to adjust their reserves to the legal requirements." Brad, who is listed in Who's Who in Americ a, has wribten a number of articles and books that have gained wide attention in financial fields in recent years. Among his books are: Th e V olttrne of Corporate Bond Financing since 1900 (1953); Corporate Bond Qttality and Investo r Experience (1958) ; and Statistical Measttres of Corporate Bond Financing {1959) . He is chairman of the Advisory Committee of the National Bureau of Economic Research's Study on Interest Rates, and is active in more than a dozen financial, professional and philanthropic organizations. Brad and Mrs. Hickman - she is the former Miss Audrey Spencer Dobson-met during his second year of high school in Baltimore. They were married at the end of his junior year at the University of Richmond. Mrs. Hickman is distinguished in her own right as a painter , with numerous exhibits and prizes to her credit. One of the Hickmans' hobbies is visiting antique shops and occasionally picking up a rarity. They favor the 18th century American period and are proud of "a few good pieces" they have managed to acquire for their Shaker Heights apartment.

and Larry Duty, return along with Junior Letterman John Deeter. John Sheranek, ineligible last year, also is expected back this fall. Senior Letterman Ken Wilbourne , who averaged 4.2 yards a carry last season ; Warren Hayes, who ran so well in late season games; Kenny Stoudt, shifty 167-pound junior; Tommy Peacock, shifted from fullback, and Mike Smelser and Norris Aldridge provide an adequate running attack from the halfback posts. Senior Larry Deco returns at fullba ck and will have Sophomores Ron Gordon and Barry Crawford to back him up . Merrick also believes he's lined up a number of junior college transfers who will help provide depth for the 1963 eleven.

Gridmen Face ToughestSchedule By WALT

"If our quarterbacks come through," says University of Richmond Football Coach Ed Merrick, "we should be on a par or better than last year's club." The 1962 Spiders lost three of their first four games and then came on fast to capture their last five, all in heroic come-frombehind fashion , for a 6-3 record, the school's best mark since 1946. Twenty-one lettermen are expected to return this fall. Thirteen will be seniors. Merrick, however, realizes that the Spiders have quite a task on their hands, for they face the toughest schedule in history with such clubs as Tennessee, Florida and Syracuse on their slate. So it will take somewhat of a miracle to match last year's record. The chief loss was Quarterback Mel Rideout, Richmond's passing whiz for the past three years who was signed by the Baltimore Colts. Bill Silvi, a 6-0, 188-pound junior who was Rideout's understudy last year, and Ronnie Smith, a 6-4, 225-pound transfer student from Wake Forest, must fill Rideout's shoes. Senior Bill Sommers sees service chiefly on defense. At the completion of spring drills, Merrick said he still was undecided about his qua~terbacks until he had seen them perform under actual game conditions. Silvi, who can run as well as pass, had a fine spring but had three tosses intercepted in the final spring intrasquad scrimmage. He did complete 10 of 21 pitches, however, one for a touchdown. Smith, who showed up well at times during the spring sessions, completed six of 12 passes including a payoff pass that gave his Blue squad a 19-14 victory over Silvi's White eleven. The Spiders also Jost several fine defensive backs including Brent Vann , who reports to the professional Minnesota Vikings (NFL) ; Steve Stevenson and Stewart Percy. Merrick isn't too certain he's solved his secondary defensive problems until his team gets a game or two under its belt. Letterman Joe Stromick, who sees service only on defense, was impressive in the spring windup. The Spiders' standout and All-America candidate is John Hilton, 6-5, 220-pound senior end who has been the Southern Conference's leading pass receiver for the

DREWRY

past two seasons. Hilton, who has speed, size and a great pair of hands, caught 28 for 401 yards and five touchdowns last season. He'll team with Tri-captain Bob Drobney, defensive standout who showed rapid improvement as a pass receiver in spring drills. Junior Kirk Kressler is the only other letterman end returning. George Rapp signed with the New York Jets (AFL) and Bill Ventura with the Baltimore Colts. The Spiders will be strong at the guards with four senior lettermen returning. They are Tri-captain Joe Kessel, quick, vicious tackle, fine blocker and candidate for allstar laurels; Gerald Lofstead, impressive in spring practice; Dick Foutz and Fred Mancuso. Tri-captain Jim Helvin is back as the No. 1 center. Helvin, Kessel and Drobney drew " tremendous " raves from Merrick for their spring work. Both starting tackles, Seniors Al Mitchell

Moncure of the Department of History, taught two on-the-spot courses in European history.

It is nearly midnight, June 17th, and thirty-five University of Richmond Summer School students aboard this airship are beginning to quiet down after a long trip that began by bus at the Boatwright Library on the University campus fourteen hours and nearly two thousand miles ago. Utter darkness covers our world 35,000 feet above sea level and above the clouds, and only a few seat lights pierce the night as a few of the more restless spirits continue to read and chat. With these students in the Boeing 707 jet Intercontinental air cruiser are six other members of the University party and more than one hundred other passengers. Our jet rose quickly from the International Airport in New York causing our ears to pop as we rose above the clouds in time to glimpse the rays of the sun reflecting upon [ 8

the clouds. Within an hour attractive French stewardesses were serving hungry students a fare of French cuisine that, as one student commented, contrasted vividly with the Richmond College refectory. Saumon froid basquaise and Supreme de dinde rotie revived our flagging spirits, and the French patisserie provided the perfect finishing touch ! It is difficult to realize that we are travelover ing toward our destination-Rome-at 500 mph, and that our night will be cut short by five hours because we are traveling eastward at such high speed. The University of Richmond Summer School Study Abroad Program began yesterday- Sunday-with a Bon Voyage party in the student center, and resumed this morning when our bus left the campus at 9 : 15 a.m. The students were excited beyond de-

scnpt1on. Earl Long, a Richmond College student from Mobile, Alabama, exclaimed, "If it wasn't for this program, we would be attending classes tomorrow in the basement of Ryland Hall! Now we shall have our first class in Rome." Within minutes after departure from Richmond the students had improvised tables and were dealing hands for bridge . Others were learning how to say "please," "thank you," "where is the rest room?" and other key words and phrases in Italian. One or two questions were raised about the recent Italian elections and present political conditions in Italy. Many questions were asked about papal election procedures . The learning process in the two courses being offered on this program had begun. We began to lose valuable time when our bus reached the approaches to Holland Tunnel, and tension mounted when our bus driver lost his way in Brooklyn! We finally stopped at a precinct station and the

police said we were forty blocks out of the way. We did not reach International Airport until 7: 15, only 45 minutes before flight time and 15 minutes after our arrival deadline . Officials awaiting us at the terminal were frantic just as we were relieved to be there in time for the flight. It took only a few minutes for us to go through the necessary procedures to board the plane and begin our trans-Atlantic voyage. There wasn't enough time for them to weigh our luggage carefully! Only weariness provided a balm for the acute anticipation of the students. And there were the priceless off-the-cuff remarks of members of the group. To Jimmy, sixyear-old son of Professor and Mrs . Moncure, the clouds looked like balls of cotton. To the Rev. Meadie Taylor , a Richmond minister auditing the courses, it reminded him of what Heaven must be like. "How exciting," remarked still another when din-

What would Rome be without its Coliseum , and the American tourist without her camera? Three of our students snap away at the ruins .

could one best begin a course in medieval European history? To tread the grounds once walked by the Etruscans, the caesars, and the saints; to take the time to study these events within a disciplined context; and to take tours and in our leisure to return to visit favorite sites will offer a new and vivid dimension to courses too long confined to the college campus. The papal election will be the central drama in Rome when we arrive tomorrow morning. The sixth pope to be elected in the twentieth century will create for us a vivid impression of procedures established as early as 1059 by Pope Ni oholas II . The medieval Church, with its pomp and circumstance, will be recreated for us much as a British coronation brings to life for us the ancient splendor of a great nation . The Eternal Ciity will have for the students many other special attractions. Some will gaze at the ruins of ancient Rome,

[9]

and others will eat dinner at sidewalk cafes and watch the pretty Roman girls. Richmond Cohlege students are alike all over the world! Two half-day tours have been arranged to give us a general impression of the city. There will be leisure later in the week to see once again those places that

were most attractive. Sunday we hope to take a trip south to visit the impressive remains of Pompeii. The rewards of a visit to Rome would be enough in itself, but we look forward to the weeks we shall spend in Renaissance Florence, Byzantine Ravenna , the Venice of St. Mark's, the Bavarian capital city of Munich, the quaint city of Lucerne, the Paris of enduring charms, and the great ciity of London . Memories of adventures in these centers of Western Europe and studies of medieval and contemporary civilization are reason enough to make this transAtlantic journey a permanent fixture in the minds and hearts of thirty-five students in the University's Study Abroad Program. A glimmer of the dawn's early light can be seen through the window of our cabin. Soon our students will awaken and glance anxiously for a view of the French countryside. Our great adventure is about to begin.

MargaretRudd-Teacherand Missionary By NANCY McCULLOUGH PICKANDS "Miss Rudd is more than a teacher-she is a missionary.'" This is a remark made recently by one of her colleagues. It impressed me instantly as a perfect description of the woman and the teacher, for they are one and the same. To be sure, all of us who have known her in the classroom and have been inspired by her love and enthusiasm for Spanish, know that it is pr ecisely this missionary spirit that makes Miss Rudd such an effective teacher. And now, with the publication of her first book, Th e L one H eretic (University of Texas Press) , she has shown us another example of dedication. After twenty-six years of research , indeed, fascination with every aspect of his life, Miss Rudd has given us new and intimate insights into the life of one of Spain 's greatest thinkers, Miguel de Unamuno. (After twenty-one years on the Westhampton faculty, Margaret T. Rudd resigned in June to devote her time to writing and translating. She is now living at 5806 Franklin Ave. , Falls Church , Va.-Ed.) As a teacher, endowed with missionary spirit, Miss Rudd's attitude toward her profession goes far beyond dedication. To her, teaching is a way of life. Whether it is a class in language or literature, a drill in pronunciation or a lecture on Cervantes; whether it is a lively classroom discussion of Latin American politics or the tenth rehearsal of th e annual Spanish Project , Miss Rudd 's heart is always in whatever she is doin g . Pervading enthusiasm and sense of humor are always with her. A friend cogently expressed this thought one day as we were leaving Spanish class, when she said, "You know, Miss Rudd is one teacher who gives everything she has." We may well add , "and she has so much to give! " And (alas!) in return , no one can deny that she expects

the very same from all her students, from the Spanish major to the freshman fulfilling a language requirement. With this kind of inspiration she has given many Westhampton girls a firm foundation for any endeavor in the field-graduate study, teaching, and above all , speaking and using the language as a livin g language. It is not, after all, so difficult to understand how she could have devoted twentysix years of study to one man. First , there is the initial attraction based on Unamuno's resemblance to her own father, a missionary. This was Unamuno the crusader. His mission was to discover and to teach the tmth in a country steeped in tradition and stifled by religious orthodoxy. In matters of religion, to doubt, as Unamuno did every day of his life, was heresy. Hence , the lone hereti c I It seems a paradox that Miss Rudd finds a resemblance in these two men, one, who derived his philosophy from doubt, and the other , her father , a Baptist missionary and a man of staunch Christian faith. Both however, were crusaders, and both missionaries. There was also Unamuno the teacher. One cannot but feel that she must have been strongly attracted by this aspect of his personali>ty. For it is known that one of Unamuno's greatest satisfact ions in life, as with Miss Rudd, was his relationship to his students , the hours he spent in formal and informal discussions with young people. There was, finally, Unamuno the individualist. He believed that Spain's unique gift to humanity was not to be found in any literary or philosophical trend, rather in individuals such as Santa Teresa and others. Unamuno himself was a prime example of Spanish individualism , standing alone in all his crusades and refusing to be allied with any literary or political group. To try to

[10]

summarize his life and personality here would be impossible. Those of us who know Miss Rudd, however, especially as a teacher , know that these are some of the qualities most typical of her own approach to life. On one occasion Miss Rudd told me she could never have written this biography without identifying, to a certain degree, with Unamuno. Indeed, her approach to any subject, and to all her students, is a very personal one. I was reminded of my former teacher when I later heard another professor say of himself: "A,t the end of this year you will have, not only a course in literature, but a man, with all his faults and virtues! " None of us will ever forget Miss Rudd 's personal involvement as she talked of the faith of Santa Teresa, the love of Gabriela Mistral , or even Unamuno's agonizing search for God. Now, none of us can read her vivid description of the land of Castile in her opening words and not share the emotion with her. Certainly, with this book, as with all her classes, we have something of th e woman. It is appropriate that the outstanding hispanist and writer Federico de Onis has

Una mu no

written the prologue to Miss Rudd 's first book. De Onis, who is from Salamanca and studied under Unamuno there, founded the Spanish Department at Columbia University and served as its Chairman until recently. It has been said of him that, aside from his valuable contribution to literary criticism , one of his great contributions is his personal influence on Spanish teachers throughout the country who carry on the tradition he established. We, at Westhampton, are fortunate to know and to have studied under one such teacher. The publication of The Lone Heretic is an auspicious beginning for a new career in writing. Miss Rudd 's students are proud to have shared with its author unforgettable days in the classroom.

Captain's Club to honor team of 1939 The University of Richmond's Captain's Club will honor the 1939 football team at the club's annual banquet at the John Marshall Hotel on Saturday night, November 2, following the Virginia Tech-Richmond Homecoming game at Richmond City Stadium that afternoon. The 1939 Spiders, coached by the late Glenn Thistlethwaite, won seven games, lost one and tied two-t he second best record in UR football history. Only the '34 eleven, which was honored last year, did better. It posted an 8-1 record. Ed Merrick , the present Richmond grid coach, was the captain and an outstanding center on the '39 club . His play that season won him All-State and All-Southern laurels , the first Spider so honored , and he was selected to play in the College All-Star game at Chicago the following September. The late Bill Burge, a fine end, also was named to the All-State eleven that season. Dick Humbert , associate professor of physical education at the University, also was an outstanding flankman. Tailback Arthur Jones, now principal at Suffolk High School, was a triple threat ace. Merrick, Humbert and Jones later were selected on Richmond's alltime team. The '39 Spiders rolled up 15 S' points and had only three touchdowns scored against them. They blanked Virginia Tech , 13-0; The Citadel, 19-0; Washington and Lee, 7-0; Gettysburg, 21-0; RandolphMacon, 26-0; Apprentice School, 37-0, and

played a scoreless tie with VMI. HampdenSydney fell before the Spiders, 26-7. Richmond scored in the closing moments to gain a 6-6 tie with Rutgers. Tâ€˘he only loss came at the hands of William and Mary by a 7-0 score in the final game of the season. Jones scored one touchdown and set up another with a pass to Burge in the opener with Apprentice. Burge tallied on a pass from Alec Moore. Wilson (Moose) Faris, Merrick 's understudy, romped 34 yards with an intercepted pass for a six-pointer. Eddie Bragg, Bill Fitzhugh and Jack Powers also scored touchdowns and Lem Fitzgerald accounted for the lone extra point.

Jones t:dlied twice against Randolph Macon, his 47-yard end sweep setting up one TD and a fumble recovered by Bill Terry aiding in the other. Fullback Stukie Hoskins raced 34 yards for a score and Powers rammed across for the fourth . Defensive stars were Merr ick, Tackle Hal McVay and Guard Enders Dickinson. Washington and Lee gave the Spiders quite a battle, but in the second half Moore passed to Burge on the W&L 21-yard marker. Two plays later Burg e took a low aerial from Moore and fell over the goal line for the on ly touchdown of the game. Richmond appeared headed for its first defeat at New Brunswick, N. J., when the Scarlet scored midway the final quarter on a pass to take a 6-0 lead. The Spiders took the kickoff with only 90 seconds left , Moore taking the ball and reversin g to Jones who was finally stopped on the 46. Moore passed to Jones on the Scarlet 40 for a first down . Three other passes fell incomplet e, but on fourth down and with time running out Moore tossed to Jones on the 10 and he raced across for the tying six-points. Th e Scarlet blocked the extra point attempt. Merrick and McVay were reported to be " powerhouses in the line " that day. Moore had a 28-yard touchdown run and passed 20 yards to Humbert in the victory over Gettysburg. A pass from Jones to Ned Butcher accounted for the other score. Butcher, who averaged almost eight yards (C on tinued on pa1;e 13)

Mac Pitt:a profile By LAURENCE LEONARD Sports Editor, Richmond News Leader* Malcolm U. Pitt looked up from his desk. He looked at the pictures of some of his athletes hanging on the wall in his office in Millhiser gymnasium. ''I've been pretty fortunate ," said Pitt, athletic director and longtime baseball coach at the University of Richmond . Modesty has always been part of the makeup of Malcolm Upshur Pitt, who man and boy has spent a lifetime in athletics. Now, 10 years after giving up active basketball coaching, he has been elected to the Helms Hall of Fame for college basketball, entering with his long-time coaching friend, Elmer H. Ripley, and three former Southern Conference standouts-Richard Carmichael of University of North Carolina, Dick Groat of Duke University and Darrell Floyd of Furman. 'Tm sort of out of class with that group," Pitt said. Elmer Ripley, who coached college basketball for 22 years at Georgetown, Yale, Columbia, Notre Dame and John Carroll, compiling a record of 262 victories and 191 defeats, would be the first to disagree with Pitt. On the basis of a 19-year record of 194 wins and 165 losses, Pitt belongs. The Helms Athletic Foundation in Los Angeles is honoring Pitt for his efficiency in basketball. But it could well honor him for baseball, football and track. He has coached them all. Since 1914, when he matriculated at the U. of R., Pitt has been a solid Spider. And with the exception of a few years he spent coaching at Fork Union Military Academy, he has been at Richmond College in various capacities. He coached with the late Frank Mills Dobson and the late Glenn Thistlethwaite. In 1942, he succeeded Thistl ethwaite as athletic director and continued to coach basketball and baseball as he had since 1934. Ten years ago he relinquished basketball. Oddl y, Pitt did not play basketball as a Spider. Yet, he achieved renown in the game. And one of his teams, the Spiders of 1935, â€˘R ep ri n t ed from

went undefeated through a 20-game schedule. As an undergraduate, Mac Pitt was a quarterback and third baseman and a consistent point scorer in track. The Pitt-coached baseball teams have dominated Virginia intercollegiate play, winning 15 Virginia championships, two Southern Conference titles and tying for two other SC crowns over a 29-year span. His last team, riddled by pitching losses a year ago, made a remarkable comeback and he is infinitely proud of the centerfielder, Bobby Stewart. I asked coach Pitt for his No. 1 sports thrill. Carefully, and with much thought, he singled out the all-winning basketball team. But he had other memories that were happy. "We had a lot of pressure on us in that unbeaten year," he recalled. "At the start one of the writers hinted we might go unbeaten. "From game to game the pressure mounted. We had our toughest game with Emory and Henry down there. Pedey Jackson was coaching then and we couldn't find a friend in a carload. "We went into the last minute two points behind. For some reason I could never explain I sent Bucky Jacobs in to replace Win Brown. Glenn Roberts of Emory and Henry had the ball. George Lacy stole it, passed to Bucky and he made the goal to tie the score. We were relaxed in the overtime, ran up 10 quick points and won ." Two athletes stand out in Pit's memory in track. "I coached a boy named Woodrow Clark. He was a country boy," Pitt recalled. "He tried other sports, football, basketball and baseball, without success. He was determined he'd make it in track. " It was a memorable day when he threw the javelin 209 feet to beat two William and Mary boys who placed in the Penn Relays. Later, in the National Junior AAU meet at Lincoln, Neb. , it was very satisfying to see him throw the javelin 213 feet. "At Fork Union I had coached Lester Tharp , a middle distance (Continued on page 13)

a try, romped 60 yards with an intercepted pass against The Citadel. Hoskins scored on a 13-yard smash through center and a Moore to Burge pass accounted for the other TD against the Cadets. Merrick and Guard Bert Milling were line standouts. Richmond and VMI played to a deadlock before 15,000 in a pouring rain. The Spiders got as far as the Keydet five but Hoskins' field goal attempt was wide. The Keydets attempted two third period field goals. One was short and Burge blocked the second. Hoskins' ground gaining and Jones' punting were outstanding in the victory over Virginia Tech, Burge catching a pair of TD passes from Jones. Humbert and Burge recovered Tech fumbles to help stop the Gobblers. Jones passed to Gordon ReMine for one touchdown and romped 60 yards on a punt return for another against HampdenSydney. Sonny Wholey passed to Fitzgerald for another six-pointer. Burge, rushing the passer, hit the ball, juggled it, then grabbed it and raced 35 yards for the other touchdown. Jones and Bragg, the blocking back, were out with leg injuries and Butcher had a leg injury for the final game with William and Mary. Three times the Spiders penetrated the Indian six-yard line and were stopped. Then W&M drove down the field and tallied what proved to be the winning touchdown. The Spiders threatened late but to no avail. Burge took a long pass from Moore and lateraled to Wholey. The Spiders advanced as far as the Tribe eight but were stopped again. Other lettermen on this fine '39 Spider squad were Tackles Dave Robertson and Ed Sinar, Guards Joe Amrheim and the late Joe Mack, Ends Vincent Collins, Fred Frohbose and Richard Cash and Backs Bruce Van Buskirk and Frank Baker. Also on the squad were Lucian Bingham, William Bingham, Courtney Bowen, Robert Keil, Sid Knipe, Clinton Moore, William Robinson and George Shackleford. The manager was R. C. Moore. Assistant coaches were Mac Pitt, now Richmond athletic director, and John Kellison .

HAIL AND ÂˇFAREWELL-MILLS SUCCEEDS HOOKER H. Lester Hooker Jr., the University of Richmond's basketball coach for the past eleven years, has been appointed athletic director at the College of William and Mary. His successor will be Lewis Mills, former Virginia Tech court star who assisted Hooker and coached the Spider freshmen last season. Hooker, who returns to his alma mater, did much to make the city of Richmond basketball conscious. He turned out four state championship quintets, a Southern Conference runnerup and initiated the Richmond Invitational Tournament during the Christmas holidays. Although his teams during the past few years haven't been contenders-last season's club was handicapped by an unusual number of injuries and midseason scholastic difficulties-his overall record showed 147 victories and 142 defeats. Few will forget his talented and colorful teams of the early fifties which included such standouts as Warren Mills, Ed Harrison, Walt Lysaght and Kenny Daniel. From 1952-55 the Spiders won 62 games and lost only 24. The 1952-53 quintet posted a 20-7 record. The following year

runner . We won the mile relay championship at Fork Union five years, and when Lester came with me to Universi.ty of Richmond , he won the National AAU championship and set quite a few Spider records that still stand . "I don't think he lost a race at Fork Union . He came down here and beat 'Scrap' Chandler in an indoor meet when 'Scrap' was the star at William and Mary." In basketball, Pitt regarded the "quarterback" (the ball-handling guard) with the same warmth he had for a good double play combination in baseball. "I feel I've been blessed with good boys. We 've had a good spirit," the coach recalled.

it was 23-8, and the 1954-55 club had a 19-9 mark. The 26-year-old Mills guided a depthshy Richmond freshman quintet to a 10-7 record last year and was highly recommended by Hooker for the post of head basketball mentor . A native of Roanoke, he was an All-Southern choice under Coach Chuck Noe at Virginia Tech during the 1959-60 season. He helped coach the Tech freshmen one year and was coach of three sports at Roanoke Catholic High one year before coming to Richmond last season. Chief losses from last year's 7-18 team were Danny Higgins and George Grodzicki. John Telepo and Buddy Enck will serve as co-captains of Mills' first varsity team. The only letterman expected back is Tom Tenwick. Ted Thorne , 6-6, and Spike Welsh , 5-10 guard, are the top boys up from the frosh . Gale Catlett, former West Virginia Un iversity cager, has been appointed Mills' assistant and freshman coach. Hoping to build a solid foundation for the future , seven promising scholastic stars have been signed to grants-in-aid .

"Boys like Lacy, Louis Elmore, Petey Jacobs, Mac Jr. (his son now headmaster a!t Collegiate school), Weenie Miller and W arren Mills were wizards-give and go men, the kind who could spot an opening and take advantage of it. "It's hard as the deuce to call one the best, just as it is to pick out one baseball player from among Lacy, Herbert Hash, Bucky Jacobs, Porter Vaughan, Lew Burdette and Bobby Stewart. ''I've been pretty fortunate . At one time four of our baseball men- Weenie Miller , Cotton Billingsley, Pat Fenlon and George Gasser-managed teams in nearby communities in pretty good leagues. We've had 15 or 20 go into professional baseball. "You have to be fortunate to get so many good ones and to have so many pleasant memories because of them."

ENGAGE IN JOINT SCIENCE RESEARCH PROJECT

Dr. Ernst G. Huf, a professor of physiology at the Medical College of Virginia, has received a National Institute of Health Career Award enabling him to expand his research project to include laboratory facilities at the University of Richmond. Assisting Dr. Huf in the project is Dr. Addison D. Campbell of the University's physics department. The project, split half and half between the University and MCV, is research and research training in the physiology of the cell. The University phase of the work, says Dr . Campbell, "w ill help build a scientific atmosphere that will spark the interests of undergraduate science students, and perhaps others, to study more science in depth ." Said Dr. Huf, 'The fascinating thing ... is that through the pooling of intelle ctual and physical resources found in institutions of high er learning in and around Richmond, greater opportunities open up to our gifted students in Virginia to pursue advanced studies in the challenging fields of biophysics ."

[ 14)

There are several ways Drs . Huf and Campbell hope to entice students into the life sciences through the project. First, some students may be taken on as assistants of various kinds in the university phase ot the project. Secondly, informally arranged seminars conne cted with the project will be conducted from time to time at the University. But the primary value, they believe, lies in the presence of such an active project among the young students , many of whom may yet be undecided on a career. Also there is a more indir ect value tied up with the nature of the project itself. It involves the study of how materials are transported across cellular structures. This is one of the basic processes of lifeexactly how various materials find their ways into and out of cells so that living processes can be maintained . Dr. Huf believed that the project may not only interest students in physiology, or th e broader field of medicine, but in physics, chemistry, biology or mathematics as well.

-7 It Is Wise to Make a Will. ... A nationally known minister thought it unnecessary to make a Will. As a result, when he died his checking account was frozen, his insurance policies were sealed in a strong box, and his wife had to post an expensive bond to handle her husband 's affairs. She received only one third of his estate because he left no Will. A former Vice President of the United States left an estate of $635,000, but he had no Will. As a result, the bulk of his estate went for taxes and administrative costs. His heirs received only about $155,000 of his estate . Whether or not you include your Alma Mater, it is wise to make a Will. .. To: Dr. G . M. Modlin, President University of Richmond, Virginia

Westhampton News 1918 Secretary Mrss DEBORAHMcCARTHY 1618 Park Avenue Richmond, Virginia Lois Rogers Butler and I had a delightful telephone visit when she was in town recently visiting Frank's family. Lois was on her way back to Florida after a visit with her daughter and grandchildren in Baltimore. It was disappointing that she could not plan her tour of family to fit in with a June reunion. Only Dorothy Gary Markey wrote enthusiastically of attending a Forty-Fifth Reunion. Dot is enjoying family and community life in Yonkers. John is teaching at Pace College and Dot is writing and enjoying her two grandchildren. A nice note from Elizabeth Love Chase regretted that her present state of health would prevent her attending a reunion in June . Elizabeth sent greetings to all and a wish that when in Washington you would look her up. She and Katherine are living in Chevy Chase, D. C. At the last meeting of the Washington Alumnae Chapter Liz received a round of applause when she announced herself "Class of ' 18." Elizabeth Duval has not been well but the others of the Richmond group continue in their usual good health and spirits. Mary Ruffin is at present in Bermuda with Elizabeth Tompkins and will be out of the city in June attending a family wedding. Mary Weaver Collins leaves the first of June for a summer in Maine-and so it goes. Betsy Camp Smith, whom we met during Garden Week, suggested that '18 hold its reunion at Homecoming on November 3 and 4, at which time the Emily Gardner Foyer will be dedicated. As so few of you seemed able to attend a reunion in June the committee decided t0 accept Betsy's suggestion. With this much advance notice you should be able to make the necessary plans to attend at that time. Hoping to see all of you in November1919 Secretary MRS.

Adelaide has just become the grandmother of TRIPLETS, Liza, Laurie, and Lisbeth, born May 5 t0 her daughter, Anne Tyler and Wesley Keith Handy of Shadwell, Va.! You will recall that we had the pleasure of sharing a fine letter from Anne Tyler to her mother when she was in ARABIA. At the time of writing all parties concerned, mother, father, babies, and grandparents were doing well. And little Leslie Anne, 2Â˝ years, the big sister, thinks they are wonderful. Congratulations to you. We had a nice letter from Lillian Robertson Carter who wrote us of her recent visit to Virginia Karnes Wright following the meeting of the D. A.

MRS. BARTEEE. CoRPEW (Dorothy Sadler) 7100 Horsepen Road Richmond, Virginia Since this is a post-reunion letter, we shall tell those who could not attend how much we missed them, and tell them how much they missed. Those who were here will join us in remembering it. The largest group attended the informal dinner at the Executive Motel, where thirtyfour members of the class and their guests enjoyed a delicious meal and wonderful companionship on the evening of June 7th. 'The girls they came from far and wide," as you can see from the following list. Mildred Campbell Broome, London; Nellie Saunders Early, Orlando, Florida; Sallie Davis, New York City; Louise Fristoe Arnold, Fanwood, New Jersey; Sara Lee Atkins, Baltimore, Maryland; and Elsie Morgan Anderson, Greensboro, N. C., came by plane, train, and automobile from their distant homes. From various points in Virginia came Ada Arthur Deacon, Kate E. O'Brien, Donzella George Harper, Mamie Smith Fitzgerald, Myrtie Bidgood Brooks, Virginia Kent Loving, Gladys Nuckols Wood, Glenna Loving Norvell, Evelyn Sanford Wamsley, Camilla Wimbish Lacy, Dora Ransone Hartz, and Lelia Doan, who had only enough time to come and visit with us after dinner. The Richmond group included Elizabeth Hill Schenk, Olivia Hardy Blackwell, Miriam Norment Brennaman, Elizabeth B. Parker, Virginia Davidson Knight, Rosa Sanders Thomas, Elmira Ruffin Bowen, Josephine Tucker, Elizabeth B. Gayle, Ellen Douglas Oliver, Hannah L. Coker, Altha Cunningham, Ruth Powell Tyree, Mildred Pulliam Stone, Ethney Selden Headlee and Dorothy Sadler Corprew. Our guests were Miss Keller, Miss Lutz, Miss Turnbull, Elizabeth Gaines, Miss Crenshaw, Miss Mary W. Scott and Miss Virginia Withers; and with them we shared many fond memories. After dinner each member and guest filled out a card with four facts about her life and achievements, one for each decade! Lest we feel embarrassed or boastful, the cards were read aloud by the person seated at our right. We heard fascinating and unusual facts. Though we do not have a complete list of members who sent regrets, the following did give their varied reasons for not attending, including graduations, weddings and the arrival of new grandchildren. Virginia Epes Feild's granson's birth date is June 7, 1963. Virginia Lake lives in Hawaii, a very far place, and the following wrote to us: Louise Beck Morris, Ardys Houser Gwynn, Elise Davis Via, Janie Wood, Gladys Rees Otey, Jane Waters Gardner, Kathleen Prentiss Perrin, Katherine Hill Smith, and Margaret Terpstra Copenhaver. On Saturday, June 8, beginning at 9:15 a.m.,

this position to devote her full time to teaching and research. She will continue as dean until her successor can be found. Miss Roberts who had served for nine years a1t McMaster University in Canada before coming to the University of Richmond, said that "twenty-five years is enough 'deaning' for one lifetime." She told the Westhampton faculty tha'l ever since her sabbatical two years ago she realized that she wanted more time for research into the life and works of Thomas Hardy, English poet and novelist. She wrote her Ph.D. thesis on "Hardy and the Theater" while a graduate student at Radcliffe College. Later she wrote 'Tess in the Theater." One of only two deans in the 49-year history of We9thampton, Miss Roberts succeeded Dr. May L. Keller, dean from the colllege's formation in 1914 until her retirement in 1946. The late Maude H. Woodfin, professor of history, served for a year as acting dean, pending the selection of Miss Keller's successor.

Miss Lutz, now in her new apartment, welcomed us for coffee in her usual gracious way. Following the Alumnae meeting and the dedication of the Fannie G. Crenshaw Swimming Pool, fifteen of us attended the luncheon, where we applauded whole-heartedly the tribute to Leslie Booker for her years of service as alumnae secretary. We met there also Varina Elliott's nephew, Richard W. Elliott, who unveiled the plaque for her memorial in the new building . It was a splendid reunion and we wish everyone could have joined in the celebration. Watch the Bulletin for more news, and let us hear from you, near and far.

1925 Secretary

with the help of May Rudd Harris who will be the Richmond representative for the class . Before the fall Bulletin, Estelle asks that you please send her news of yourselves. Meanwhile, she writes of herself as follows: "All I know is about me and that isn't very interesting . Willard died very suddenly last year with his second heart attack. Mother died in March after an illness of more than a year. I feel that I spent most of the last year and a half nursing. Then in April I married Rev. F. M . Cassidy, a retired missionary of the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. He was construction engineer for 17 years and then worked with the Spanish-speaking migrants. Many of the migrants are here and we have been visiting them in their campshelping them in whatever way we can . Believe me the "ways" are many . We have been trying for two weeks to show the picture Martin Luther (in Spanish) in one of the camps but so far we have been rained out. You see it has to be shown out of doors. I do wish you could see them. Many of them are lovely people . Most of the children are beautiful and so many of them-eight, ten, twelve in a family . They are so happy when they see us coming. Now don't you see-I shouldn 't be secretary of anything because I have but one 'song to sing 'that of the Spanish-speaking migrant. I must tell you just one more thing about our work. Four years ago, 'Bro-Mike ' as they know my husband, took one of the migrant girls, Rosa Molina, right out of the fields, Virginia Woman's Missionary Union gave the scholarship, and Accomack Women gave everything else. On May 25th, this lovely girl, who calls me Mom, graduated from Valley Baptist Academy in Harligen, Texas . She was salutatorian of her class ." Now, do send news to Estelle so that we can catch up on all the rest of you.

MRS. F. M. CASSIDY (Estelle Outten) Seaview, Virginia Our thanks go to Gladys Wright Cocke who has been class secretary for many years. She has asked to be relieved and Estelle Outten Cassidy has agreed to be the new secretary,

We've been proud of Eva in her missionary work in Africa for many years. She richly deserves to receive such a fitting recognition for her untiring work there. Norma Coleman Broaddus took Inez Hite and me to the spring meeting of the Richmond club. We had such a good time seeing many friends, eating a delicious lunch, and enjoying a delightful program of slides of the Mellon Art Collection. We also had the pleasure of meeting Rita Baker after so many years. The four of us sat together at lunch so had the opportunity to catch up on long over-due chit-chat. I saw in the paper that Rita will play the cello in a concert at Richmond Professional Institute this month. I think I told you last spring that Rita is a regular member of the Richmond and Norfolk Sympathy Orchestras. Louise Wilkinson Morton's son, Oliver Jr ., was married to Miss Virginia Woolard of Emporia, Virginia , on May 25th . They will live in Charlotte, North Carolina where Oliver is connected with the Associated Press . The AP is dear to the heart of the Morton family as Louise met Oliver Sr., when he was associated with that organization here in Richmond . Another item of interest, which I read in the paper, is the announcement of the engage ment of Estelle Billups to Mr. James Alfred Pettit of Roseland, Virginia. Wish you'd let us hear all the interesting details, Estelle . We wish you both much happiness in your coming marriage .

Liz Taliaferro Hobson wrote in January that she hoped to attend reunion, but activities of daughter, Page, and son, Billy, might prevent. Billy is attending Dartmouth . Ruth Carey Holbrook wrote Mildred in March that she would be keeping her two grandsons while her daughter, '28's baby cup winner, has her fourth baby. Ruth's 1840 colonial farm house in Port Murray, N . J., sounds charming. A letter from Betty Sherman Cale to Frances Stallard says "Nothing would give me more pleasure than to join you and the other '28ers for the reunion this year. . . . Unfortunately, Ed and I will be leaving Turkey about that time and going for six weeks to Bulgaria and Rumania . Ed will spend the next ten months inspecting various U.S. Embassies in Europe and I will go along with him . It will be rough touring out of suitcases that long, and hard to be away from our families, but it should be interesting. Our last three months will be spent in Italy, and having already spent some time there we are looking forward very much to returning ... We envy your trip to Yucatan this winter . I know you found the two Mayan sites, Chiches ltza and Uxmal, as fascinating as we did, and the weather at this time of year is usually marvelous . How we do miss Mexico now that we're spending a month in storm ridden D . C. We've been spoiled by Mexico's climate, it's friendly people, and will find it hard to start out with enthusiasm on our next assignment . However, that's the Foreign Service ." We'll pass on any further news gleaned from reunion in the next Bulletin. So sorry that everyone who wanted to come could not do so. We missed you. 1932 Secretary MRS. GLENNS. HESBY (Katherine Roberts) 900 West Franklin St. Richmond 20, Virginia May Day '63 turned out to be quite a Re-

[24]

union Day for our class. Charlie Broaddus was escort for his daughter, Betsy, The May Queen. Carolyn with her two youngest chil dren were seated down front . The weather was perfect and many classmates attended, including Jane Gray, Valerie Jones, Mary Mathews, Jessie Miller Turner, Virginia Pharr and myself. Virginia and her husband drove up for the day and Jessie Miller and her daughter spent the weekend with us. Only wish more of you could have attended. At the dedication of the Swimming Pool on June 8, a plaque to Mary Ryland Babcock was unveiled. Among the members of the family present were Mary's mother, her brother, and her four children. Jud, the oldest son, is a '63 June graduate of Washington and Lee. Bill, the other son, is a '63 St. Christopher's graduate. The two girls, Mary and Ann are in school in Charlotte, N. C. where they make their home. It is wonderful that the donations of Mary 's friends and family to the Alumnae Association made this Memorial possible . On April 6, Virginia Yeaman entertained at her home for her sister, Buena Myers . Many friends from the University as well as the class of '32 were most happy to see Buena and meet her attractive daughter. We learned that Hugh and Buena are making their home at Fairfield, Iowa, where Dr. Myers is head of the Science Department at Parsons University and is continuing his Research Work. Their son, Hugh Jr. is stationed at the White Sands Missile Base, Las Cruces, New Mexico . He and his wife now have a baby girl, 4 months old. Their daughter, Mary Wheeler, graduated from high school this June. At Alumnae Day College I visited with Inez Hauke Hartley and learned that she will serve her second year '63-'64 as President of the Huguenot Parent Teacher's Association (high school in Chesterfield County) where her daughter, Suzanne, is a junior. Her son, Robert, attends Wesleyan College, Rocky Mount, North Carolina . Her husband judges dog shows all over the country. He went to Venezuela this spring and will go to Puerto Rica in November. He judged "Best in Show " at Madison Square Garden last year, which was written up in Time Magazine. Inez judged a sanction match show at McGuire Veteran 's Hospital last March and will judge another in August at Staunton, Va. Her daughter rides a hunter pony and shows all over Virginia. I also visited with Adelaide Holloway Patterson '33 from Opelika, Alabama. She told me she hears from Ruth Fiske Hokanson. Ruth and her husband continue to live in Morning dale, Mass. and have a son, who is 10 years old now . Why don 't some of you members of the Class of '32 drop me a note during the summer and tell me some news about yourself? I can call alumnae in Richmond and do hear from some in the state, but there is a great deal of news about others that is worth reading. You write and I will see that it is printed.

PRINCIPAL PIONEERS IN NEW PROGRAM Children at Denbigh Elementary School in Newport News, Va., are reading and enjoying it, thanks to the principal, Virginia Jones Pharr, '32 . A recent newspaper account acclaimed the Westhampton graduate for her work as a "pioneer in the broad scale use of the individualized or self-selection method of reading." According to the ar,ticle, the system has been enthusiastically endorsed by the children and their parents, as well as the faculty. The traditional steps of phonics and sight have not been abandoned, but once basic word skills have been acquired, the children are on their own in choosing their reading material. If Johnny prefers a world atlas or a sixthgrade book to his third-grade reader, it's all right with the faculty and Mrs . Pharr . Frequent individual reading conferences en-

able the teacher to assess and guide each child's progress . "In light of what we know about children 's growth and development ," the prin cipal observed, "it is the method to use." The approach is not new, she pointed out, but customarily it is applied only for certain groups or in certain grades . After observing the success of a veteran teacher who used the method extensively, Mrs . Pharr considered the broad-scale use. Special summer school work and research convinced her that all levels of readers would profit , and today 13 of her 16 teachers foll ow the individualized program. Results have been rewarding. Teachers note a desire and eagerness ; library circulation has increased . And best of all, the article concludes, the children themselves agree happily that reading is fun .

ce1vmg her habit after a year as a nun in Clinton, Iowa . Elizabeth Frazer Burslem wrote that due to her teaching she had to be absent . Her son is finishing his second year at Duke . Daughter, Caroline, is kept busy in high school with her many musical interests. Margaret Slaughter Hardcastle was unable to come as she was going to visit her daughter in Germany . Geoghagan, too, sent sincere re grets due to family commitments as did Fay, Margaret Baptist Lears, Liz McKee Kimble, Frances Rawlings Ware, Anne Parker Moffett, Ella, and Flossie. Matilda is principal of her school now so was unable to get away at this busy season. Teaching duties also kept Kathryn Blankenship Shelton from coming. Virginia Atkinson Napier was too busy preparing for a trip to visit her daughter and granddaughter. Marian Clark , after a busy year at King College, left after the reunion for a trip to California. Catherine Dawson Cox will have a trip, too, to Arizona. Adelaide with her family visited Miss Keller for a few days and so was with us at Kat's. Frances Smith Justice looked fine, tan already from canoe trips with her Girl Scouts. Edna Earl and Jane came down for the night with Ann. Edna Earl and Carl had just returned from a trip to the Orient with a delegation of thirty-four Virginians for a three-week tour to

observe agriculture and consider prospect s for American expo r ts. Carolyn Cutchins Powell spent the night with Phoebe. She has just returned from a trip to New Orleans. Dolly, looking young as ever , reported on the recent graduation of her second son at Brown University. The wedding of Marilane Taylor and Oti s Warr III took place in June in Forest Cit y, Arkansas . The groom will finish his medical training in August and begin his internship in Philadelphia in September. Th is event kept Vivian away, but we enjoyed her newsy lette r with pictures. As each classmate was invited to the buffet supper, it was a disappointment not to hear from Louise Dinwiddie Roberts, Vivian Hart Tillinghast, Mar y Ruffin Jones Mason, Ruth Langley, Katherine Murie Carlton, Mary Louise McLaughlin Tucker, Margaret Neale Moger, and Mary Louise Tyler Prichard . If anyone has news of these do send it in to the secretary. See you next time! 1934 Secretary MRS. R .

Margaret Taylor Gallaway ' s vacation plans included a visit with her mother in Lexington, Kentucky, and possibly a class at the University. You will be interested in hearing from Sue Cook McClure Jones and her family, as contained in a letter written in April: "Art's transfer to the rocket engine division of the

MOTHERS' MARCH TAPS '36 ALUMNA Citizens of Kirkland, Washington, paid tribute this Spring to Dorothy Harrison Enslow, '36, by naming her area chairman of the Mothers ' March. The honor, which was accompanied by a great deal of hard work, was in recognition of the alumna's service to children with crippling disabilities. Mrs. Enslow's interest in the field resulted from the birth of her youngest son, seven years ago, with an open spine. Modern advances have made it possible for him to walk with a brace and crutches, and to attend school. But he and his mother have an avid interest in orthopedic matters. The Enslows, who moved to the Evergreen State from Maryland four years ago, have two daughters and three sons. The Westhampton alumna is treasurer of the children's orthopedic hospital and associate president of the women of her Episcopal chur ch. In addition, she's famous out West for her Virginia spoonbread.

Company a year and a half ago really disrupted our life. He was sent first to the Development Center in West Palm Beach, Florida, and was told we would be transferred there. I went down there last February for a month, bought a lakefront lot to build on, then came back to Palos Verdes to see Allen through the rest of his sophomore year in high school. In June I leased the house, called the movers, and had reserved our plane tickets, when Art was sent back to California on a temporary assignment in San Diego. We put the furniture in storage and spent the summer in a beautiful motel on Mission Bay. Then, in September, testing of the rocket for the Saturn project went into high gear in Sacramento, and Art Six came up here to . assist "temporarily." months later we were still here, and were finally told we could plan to be here another year to Florida. So-we or so before returning bought a house, and you can therefore consider the address (841 Coronado Boulevard, Sacramento 25, California) permanent as long as we are in Sacramento. We will probably sell the Palos Verdes residence as soon as the lease is up this summer. Don't know when we will

"I have been strickly a housewife since leaving Palos Verdes almost a year ago, but plan to re-enter the real estate profession here when we are more settled. I find it a stimulating and rewarding business, and it fills the void left by the diminishing family. Kay and Gifford are in Santa Barbara at the University there, and Allen, our youngest, will be leaving for Stanford or Berkeley after his graduation next summer."

He has aluminum learned to walk with lightweight at one time he was in crutches, although a cast from his toes to his armpits. He must be a very wonderful little boy.

If you'll all co-operate, our column will be SO much more varied and interesting. Even some of my best buddies have been remiss in communicating, which accounts for lase issue ' s lack of '41 news. Now here are groups.

Kay 's been busy with the Woman's Club Cancer Drive in Blacksburg, and is Presbyterial Chairman of Christian Education for Montgomery Presbytery . She keeps up with Mildred Owen Stanley and Liz Cardwell Brown, as they belong to many of the same organizations . Kay quotes a sampler once embroidered by BRE and almost forgotten by same. I repeat it here as a reminder of the ties that have bound us all for so many years. "Warm friendship, like the setting sun, Sheds kindly light on everyone."

BOBBIE YAGEL CHARMS ALL-MALE ASSEMBLY Cleopatra has nothing on Bobbie Brown Yagel, '51. The Egyptian queen's fame rests on the conquest of one man; Westhampton's femme fatale recently charmed an all-male audience of more than 1,000 . The lone distaff delegate to a convention of supply manufacturers and dis,tributors, Mrs. Y agel took to the podium in San Francisco, June fifth, to discuss the problems and solutions of advertising relations . "My speech was scheduled for 2 P.M.," she recalls, "and my only regret is that a case of 'butter flies' took away my appetite. And the food looked fabulous." This was not her first excursion into an all-male assembly. As magazine editor for the Industrial Supply Corporation, Mrs. Yagel broke the ice last year as the first woman ever to register at the Triple Industrial Supply Convention. "T hey had a time figuring out what to do with me," she grins. Her initial appearance must have been satisfactory, however, because her command performance this year marked the first time in history that a feminine speaker was on the agenda . The alumna's unique writing assignment, which includes everything from nuts and bolts to air compressors, does not seem extraordinary to the brunette copy expert. "If you can write," she insists, "you can write about anything. " But she gives credit

for her versatility to special journalism work at college under Joe Nettles . An English major, she held several class offices, was co-ed editor of The Collegian, and was elected to Mortar Board. In her Richmond home which doubles as a free-lance office, Mrs. Y age! can boast another all-male audience . Her husband, Myron, (U. of R. '50), is principal of a school of special education as well as convention companion, copy reader, idea man, and grammarian for his wife's ventures . Two sons complete the masculine surroundings. "My children do come first," confides the alumna, "and if they need me during the day, I write at night. But when they run out to play, I run to the typewriter in the spare bedroom." In addition to her editing and homemaking careers, she has found time to create scripts for radio, television, and movies, including one which won top award in national advertising competition. Every Sunday she invades still another field-teacher and confidante to 22 senior high school boys and girls. Despite her familiarity with machines, it seems apparent that scientific progress will never catch up with Bobbie Y agel. Such varied accomplishments, obviously, can never be replaced by automation.

in Arlington . This is an annual affair of the Washington Alumnae Club and a more delightful day we've never had. Amid the chatter could be heard a familiar voice, the guest of honor, Miss Keller-every bit as zippy as ever, accompanied by Miss Turnbull and Mrs . Booker. It was a very personal affair for us all! Jean

Grant Andrews explained her beautiful pink silk frock this way. Richard, her son, attends the Landon School in Washington. This year the hostesses for the Landon School Azalea Festival were asked to wear pink by way of identification. A very attractive way to get a new dress, don't you agree?

You will all be happy to know that Ann Garrett's Karl is recovering nicely, working part time, and sensibly heeding the warning . Ann says that the concern of their many friends has been the biggest morale booster imaginable. Their summer plans include a stay at the Anchorage at Myrtle Beach. Oh, how wonderful to have all three meals planned and served on your holiday! Have each of you responded to your letters from classmates for contributions? Please dosuch a worthy cause should not be put aside. Sympathy is extended to May, whose father died after a long illness . Virginia Parker Dozier, "Jute", had a marvelous 2 week trip from California back to Emporia . Leaving Hoyt and their three boys aged 16 to 12 at home in LaJolla to keep house (fancy that), she and Janet (5) jetted east . Their first stop was the new Dulles International Airport. They continued on by train . Janet was quite impressed, Jute was able to have a leisurely visit with her parents and friends, and to visit her brother and his family at Wake Forest College. She also spent two days with Louise Hall Moser and her family. While in Richmond Jute had the fun of seeing May and some of the other girls nearby . She enjoyed seeing Mrs. Hall (Louise's mother) whom many of us fondly recall . On their return trip between visting cousins, Jute and Janet had dinner with the Clines . Our Langley (aged 7) had lots of fun with Janet . We spent quite a bit of time talking about the Dozier 's future. Hoyt's retirement from the Navy will take effect September 1st. They will move back into their own home at 972 St. Joseph Avenue, Los Altos, California. This is adjacent to the campus of Stanford University. After reading the Bulletin it seems that there are a lot of W . C. girls out around the San Francisco-Oakland area and Jute says 'tis true. Since the Doziers have only been down at La Jolla a year , all the children are looking forward to returning home. Hoyt has decided to try his hand at a retail business, done by catalogue chiefly, handling major appliances. At the U. of R. dinner, B.G . and I chatted with Bernice Hargrove Wood and Margaret Ligon Bernhardt '40 and their husbands. Class of '42 was not fully represented, tho. Kay Crutchfield called, reporting things going along well-Bob will have 30 days leave in June before his new exciting duty. We hope to get down to visit them during this time. Do get out those correspondence notes and write the news to your friends who will pass it on to me . News gatherers, I'm depending on you-think of the news we are missing! 1943 Secr etary MRS. ROBER T S. BLACK (Alth ea John ston) 4101 Pawnee Rd. Richmond 25, Va. It doesn't seem possible but our twentieth reunion is just a happy memory. It was such fun! And everyone looked so young and even prettier than in 1943-of course! Maxine Williams Rogers, as chairman, did a fine job of organizing it all, and the highlights of the weekend were the very lovely dinner Louise Cardozo Long had for us in her home and the party at Marguerite Shell Ritchie 's after the dinner on Saturday night. Those who were here from out of town included Ann Arwood Smith, who flew all the way from Tampa just to be with us on Saturday night, Georgie Simpson, Barbara Lewis Talbott, Dolly Dorsey Gar wood, Kalima Dalton Tate, Barbara Fuller Cox, Anne Byrd Tucker Moore, Helen Herrink Fix, Louise Wiley Willis and Jane Hilbish. You who couldn't be here were greatly missed but we did appreciate and enjoy all the cards and letters . Kay Weber McLellan was unable to come because she was getting her Masters in Librar y

Science at St. John 's Univ. on Sun . June 8th. Congratulations Kay! Pamela Carpenter Henry wrote that she had planned to come and bring her family but her husband has hepatitis and must rest all summer . Peggy Jean Kyle Anderton had to miss the reunion because her oldest daughter graduated from high school June 7th; and Mary Elder Pauli is teaching and was busy with final records etc. and piano and voice recitals for her girls. (Her daughter, Carol, our class baby, is a freshman at Westhampton this year.) I wish I could bring you all the news and reminiscences from the reunion but I don't think they 'll devote the whole issue of the Bulletin to the class of '43. Georgie Simpson is being transferred to Oakland, Calif. in July. We'll miss having her so near . And incidentally, for those who haven't seen it yet, she did a marvelous job on the scrapbook. The Alumnae Assoc. has voted to set up a new organization of the classes, with a president, secretary, and fund chairman for each class so that in the future the work and responsibility will be divided. Pepper Gardner Hathaway was elected class president and Puff Poteat Humbert, fund chairman. But we still can't put news in the Bulletin if you don't write. And don 't forget to keep me informed of changes of address. 1945 S ecretary MRS. CLARKHUBER ( Margaret Dudley Clark) 6009 Howard Road Richmond, Virginia There are two new babies in the class. Doris Mills Harrell writes from Wiesbaden, Germany, where she and her huband, Louis, are now stationed, that they have had their second son, John Robert, born on March 15. I hear !through Lillian Youell that Nancy Lazenby Stables wrote her from Texas that, after three boys, they have had a girl, Nancy Katherine Stables born April 19. Nancy Grey and Linton are now living at 6201-A Lamar Avenue, Montague Village, Killeen, Texas . She says the boys are delighted with their little sister . I'm sorry to say Lillian is moving away again, but glad Mac will be able to return from Guam and rejoin her and the boys in a few weeks . He will be working at the Pentagon. Lillian has gotten a house in Fairfax County (5707 Heming Avenue, Springfield, Virginia) and will be moving as soon as she finishes teaching and the boys are out of school. Vacation plans are on everyone's mind now . Ann Seay Jackson and J .B. are planning a quite exciting one now that J.B . has retired from the Reserves. They will go to Toronto and Niagara Falls via Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, and Buffalo, with stopovers planned at all points. On top of all that, they will take a cottage at Virginia Beach in July. Jane Wray McDorman and her family will go to the river, Mathews County, again, and Anne Glazebrook Tompkins and her family are also headed for the river to stay at her family 's cottage. Got a nice, newsy letter from Gladys Kauffman Lowden in Burlington, New Jersey . Gladys received her B.A . degree at Trenton State Col lege last August and is now working on her Master 's degree in English while teaching English. Jay , Jr. is in his freshman year at Lycoming College, and the Lowdens have two younger children, Nancy and Bobby, who Gladys hopes will be interested in going to the Universit y of Richmond. They vacation in New Hampshire every year which they find enjoyable, but Nanc y wishes they could come South so she could renew her ties around Richmond. That's all the news for this time . Please write me some more about yourselves and don 't forget to send your checks to the Alum nae Fund .

In November the club participated with the Associated Alumnae Clubs in sponsoring "College Night," as well as furnishing alumnae at several smaller affairs in surburban areas. Then we experienced a lull in alumnae activities which was broken by a Wednesday

afternoon meeting at the Embassy of India the first of May. Everyone present was most impressed by Miss Mansingh, the Second Secretary, and her discussion of Indian affairs. Our joint social hour and buffet with Richmond College at the Naval Weapons Plant was enjoyed by all. The friendly chats, scrumptious buffet, and the exciting news from the Dean of University College made this one of our most pleasant evenings. Washington played host to the University Choir when a recital was presented at the National Gallery. Several alumnae shared their homes with groups of students. The year closed with a Sunday afternoon tea at the home of the president. A visit by Miss Keller and Miss Turnbull who accompanied Mrs. Booker, was really a pleasant surprise to all. When our books were balanced, a check for $200.00 was sent to the alumnae fund in Richmond.

nizing faculty service at the annual luncheon on Alumnae Day. Among those honored this year were Dr. Wheeler ( 35 years) , Dr . Marjorie J . Rivenburg (30 years), Dr. Modlin (25 years), Miss Foy and Professor J. J. Taylor ( 15 years), Professors Burke and Filer ( 10 years), and Professor Atkins ( 5 years) . The motif of the occasion, of course, was the completion and dedication of the Fanny Graves Crenshaw natartorium; but by happy coincidence the girls rolled out their appreciation for Mrs . Leslie Booker's twenty years of service in appropriate gifts, jingles, and songs. An oil portrait of the late beloved R. H. Pitt was unveiled at the new Virginia Baptist building at Monument A venue and Willow Lawn on April 11. We suspect that Coach Mac's chest swelled just a little bit as he, along with a large and appreciative audience, watched his grandchildren officiate at this function . Incidentally , it appears in President Madlin 's annual report that Athletic Director Pitt and Professor W. Fred Caylor have both reached the unusual distinction of serving the University for 35 years. Congratulations are also in order for the following members of the faculty, who have received promotions effective this September: Dr. Nolan E. Rice (Professor of Biology) ; Miss Catherine E. Bell ( Assistant Professor of Mathematics); Dr . F. David Sanders (Assistant Professor of English) ; and Mrs. Marion J. Stokes ( Assistant Professor of Mathematics) . Drs . Keys and Sanders recently acquired doctor's degrees in their respective fields. Professor John B. Stewart (Marketing) unveiled the results of his adver,tising research project to a blue-ribbon group from industry and advertising, at the Harvard Club in New York late in June . Dean W. David Robbins of the Business School, who recently flew to Atlanta to consult with the poultry interests about the EEC s tariff against our birds, was accorded a rather unusual honor last April when he was requested to speak at the annual meeting of the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business, which was held in Phoenix, Arizona.

HENRY C. TAYLOR Atlanta alumni and alumnae gave a party for Henry C. Taylor on April 19 at the Henry Grady hotel. The meeting was announced as an organization meeting for the Atlanta chapter but it turned out to be a testimonial dinner for Henry Taylor, the genial, radiant Spider who had sung the praises of Alma Mater since his undergraduate days. Still going strong at 77, Henry Taylor followed the football team on games in the far south, to Tuscaloosa, to Tallahassee, to Charleston, S. C. Perhaps there have been few alumni who have traveled as many miles over a lifetime as did Henry Taylor to see the Red and Blue in action. He recounted many gridiron glories that he remembered from his undergraduate days, and later triumphs of teams coached by Frank Dobson, Glenn Thistlethwaite, and Ed Merrick, '40. Merrick had been his particular hero when Ed played for one of the greatest of

Richmond teams and he was "thrill ed'' when he learned that Ed was coming to Atlanta to speak at the club's first meeting . Later he said "it was the most wonderful night of my life ." Ed presented him with a foo tball autographed by every member of the squad. There were letters of esteem and appr eciation from presidents of the Red and Blue Club and the Quarterback Club. Less than a month after the meeting , Henry Taylor died on May 12 in Atlanta , at the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Locke H . ('48) and Frances Trig g. H is body was returned to his native Richmond for burial. Most of his active life had been spent in Richmond, including 35 years as purchasing agent and cashier for Tredegar Iron Works . He retired as an employe of the state tax department where he worked for six years. Appropriately , relatives and fri ends have established a scholarship at the Un iversity in his memory.
