Jr., professor of biology, will launch off from the topic, "I Can See a Hundred Milestones." He will speculate on research in marine and space biology

and anticipate the effect on American living. After lunch, classes will resume at 2 o'clock when Jean Nesmith Dickinson, '41, of the psychology department, will sketch a profile of the "Contemporary Co-Ed." From her firsthand knowledge of today's campus, Mrs. Dickinson will discuss student awarenes and their problems as well as the challenges that students present to the faculty and administration.

The "I LUV PROF" demonstration is being staged under the direction of a crew of former players which, besides Doane, includes: Carlson Thomas, '40; Henrietta Sadler Kinman, '41; Carolyn Gary Hugo, 41; Jack Noftsinger '40; William Etheridge; '46; Hansford Rowe, '50; and Mary G. Sherer Taylor, '42; with the able assistance of William Lockey, '44, in checking out the list of performers from ancient playbills.

The playbills tell the story of Prof's years on the University campus, beginning in 1935. For some of that time he ran the show alone, alternating between the classroom, backstage, and out front, where he was both director and producer. His productions have ranged from classic Greek tragedy and Shakespeare to dramas penned by the students themselves. A display of the playbills, along with the pictures, will be on hand as footlight reminders and proof of campus stardom.

The scene shifts also have varied. Originally, there was the playhouse on the hill where deathless speeches competed with whistling radiators.

Next there was the cozy intimacy of a quonset hut.

And always, weather permitting, the amphitheater beckons with its grassy slopes, heavenly eves, and dressing room distributed descreetly among the pines. Today, the Players operate from their spacious new home in the Fine Arts Building which has been hailed as one of the finest student theaters in the nation.

"Such a theater," Doane pointed out, "has long been Prof's dream. Those of us who have had the good fortune to be associated with him realize he had much to do with planning the facilities and seeing them materialize."

Theater people traditionally are known for trying to steal the spotlight and bygone University Players are no exception. But that's only part of the show.

There's a full bill; two whole days of continuous performances beginning May 16.

Curtain. Lights. Action. It's that time of year. You can come home again.

l:EIMEBAl:KIN MAY 'A Man for All Seasons' tops Alumni-Aumnae \Veekend, May 16 and 17 It's spring on the University of Richmond campus and the dogwood is at its peak. Also in full bloom are preparations for Alumni-Alumnae Weekend, May 16 and 17. Co-chairmen William B. Graham, '43; and Jean Brumsey Biscoe, '48; are planning the events (see calendar) to provide two full days of welcome.

Topping the weekend's activities will be two performances of "A Man for All Seasons," produced by the University Players under the direction of the beloved Alton Williams. For the matinee performance University Players who worked under his command will come back in an "I LUV PROF" demonstration. Returning Players will march into their reserved seats, on cue, just before the opening curtain.

Earlier, it will be classes as usual on Friday at Alumni-Alumnae College. Saturday is set aside for business first, on both sides of the lake, and then pleasure, co-ed style . Saturday morning will be highlighted by the dedication of the T. Justin Moore Memorial Hall, named for a former rector of the University Board of Trustees. A late afternoon reception will be a pleasant interlude between the two performances of "A Man for All Seasons" in the James L. Camp Memorial Theatre in the Fine Arts ·Building. Class reunions will be held both Friday and Saturday nights.

Clarence J. Doane, '49, co-chairman of the "I LUV PROF" event, noted that "Saturday's play is particularly appropriate for this tribute to Alton Williams who has taken a key role in drama on the University campus and in the greater Richmond community for more than 30 years. For those of us who tread the boards or worked backstage," Doane said "Prof is truly our man for all time."

Old grads, as well as those of recent vintage who claim less than 30 birthdays, also will be particularly interested in returning to the classroom on Friday.

The lectures, scheduled by Mary Owen Miller, '61, can be attended without such former "benefits" as notes, examinations and semester credits.

Beginning at the very respectable hour of 10:30, Dr. Irby B. Brown, '54, of the English Department, will discuss "What Is Pornography?" Dr. Brown will look at current movies and television programs and relate them to the present and future trends of morals in literature. At 11:30, Dr. Warwick R. West, Jr., professor of biology, will launch off from the topic, "I Can See a Hundred Milestones." He will speculate on research in marine and space biology

and anticipate the effect on American living. After lunch, classes will resume at 2 o'clock when Jean Nesmith Dickinson, '41, of the psychology department, will sketch a profile of the "Contemporary Co-Ed." From her firsthand knowledge of today's campus, Mrs. Dickinson will discuss student awarenes and their problems as well as the challenges that students present to the faculty and administration.

The "I LUV PROF" demonstration is being staged under the direction of a crew of former players which, besides Doane, includes: Carlson Thomas, '40; Henrietta Sadler Kinman, '41; Carolyn Gary Hugo, 41; Jack Noftsinger '40; William Etheridge; '46; Hansford Rowe, '50; and Mary G. Sherer Taylor, '42; with the able assistance of William Lockey, '44, in checking out the list of performers from ancient playbills.

The scene shifts also have varied. Originally, there was the playhouse on the hill where deathless speeches competed with whistling radiators.

Next there was the cozy intimacy of a quonset hut.

And always, weather permitting, the amphitheater beckons with its grassy slopes, heavenly eves, and dressing room distributed descreetly among the pines. Today, the Players operate from their spacious new home in the Fine Arts Building which has been hailed as one of the finest student theaters in the nation.

Today we might better understanda college campus in terms of the avuncular rather than the paternal

IN LOCO AVUNCULI

By Joseph C. Robert

In these days of change in higher education, it is imperative that we keep our wits about us; there just may be some values in the old ways which at first glance might not be seen in their full glory . Or to put the matter more rudely, we must to careful not to throw the baby out with the bath water.

As university students you belong to a fellowship with magnificent dimensions in terms of both geography and time . I have heard noisy students at the University of Ath_ens duplicating the yells at a pre-football rally at our own Greek Theatre ( though really they were putting the pressure on their business manager to reduce tuition).

The houses of the so-called nations at the University at Uppsala, Sweden , are similar to our own fraternity lodges, and serve the same purposes . Student caps in Rome put one in mind of freshman headgear all over the United States . In ordinary seasons you have much in common with students in the western world. Not only in mannerisms but in spirit.

Always acknowledging our intellectual debt to ancient times, we must realize that the college and university idea as we know it came to the English-speaking colonies from Europe by way of England , later in more direct 4

fashion . Some of those seminal medieval universities were established by professors , some by students. Among the latter is Bologna, today a fascinating place with its miles of arcades and its busy industries. How did the university originate? In plain terms some young people wanted training not then available, and they employed teachers. In the face-to-face encounter between these professors and students we have the genesis of the university, as the term is usually understood in our times.

The students militantly organized to protect themselves against the keepers of shops and taverns, who, according to the young people, habitually exploited them. And they, the students, made strict requirements of their professors, who were specifically forbidden to cut classes, and to postpone indefinitely troublesome points in their lectures through the device of protesting that these themes would be considered on the morrow!

In those days before collect telephone calls were invented, students used to write home . Let us peek over the shoulders of a lad who is earnestly scratching away.

This is 500 years ago. According to Haskins he writes about as follows . To "his venerable master" he sends "greetings. " This is to inform / Continued on page 42

WHAT'SIT ALL ABOUT? Edited by Dr. James A. Sartain

In an effort to deal with some of the major issues in America today the first two programs of the 1969 Faculty-Alumni Forum were devoted to "The Generation Gap" and to "Law and Disorder." Held in the Fine Arts Building, both of these panel discussions attracted a large audience and both provoked spirited debate.

"The Generation Gap," moderated by Jerry L. Tarver, chairman of the Department of Speech and Dramatic Arts, had as its panel members H. I. Willett, superintendent of Richmond Public Schools; Guy Friddell, '46, editorial page editor of the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot; Robert F. Smart, provost of the University of Richmond; Fred Smith, president of Richmond College Student Government; Mary Sue Terry, president of Westhampton College Government; and James A. Winders, Collegian columnist.

Miss Terry suggested that a lack of communication was one of the major factors in the generation gap and pointed out that "there are two types of communication with the older generation-pleasant and unpleasant."

Part of the problem, as Miss Terry sees it, is that there is "a mutual misunderstanding of words," and the "danger and the folly of glibly classifying all members of one

generation as unloving cntlcs and all members of the other generation as uncritical lovers ."

Dr. Willett felt that the generation gap is more mental than physical and that "young people are missing discipline and want some authority to tell them what to do."

In response to Dr. Willett's statement, Mr. Smith asserted that "advice we get from our parents sometimes does not assist with the problem for which an answer is being sought."

Mr. Friddell, more optimistic about the problem than the other panelists, suggested that the gap between the generations is diminishing. He cited recent court decisions and legislative acts involving civil rights as having helped close the gap.

"Law and Disorder" was discussed by William T. Muse, dean of the T. C. Williams Law School; Henry L. Marsh, III, Richmond attorney and civil rights leader; and James A . Sartain, associate professor of sociology at the University of Richmond . This panel was moderated

by Virginius Dabney, recently-retired editor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

WORKING On the road to record goals The altered highway sign tells the story of activity on both sides of the lake as Alumni and Alumnae Funds were launched.

The ladies met for luncheon and a Workshop under the leadership of Carolyn 0. Marsh, '47, who is General Chairman of the Westhampton College Alumnae Fund. Gathered around work tables in Keller Hall, the alumnae class groups shared their fund-raising ideas in an afternoon that buzzed with enthusiasm.

The gentlemen got a replay of the Tangerine Bowl football victory with Buster O'Brien, the Spiders' star quarterback, as narrator before settling down to work at a class agents meeting attended by hundreds of the more than 1,000 workers. Howard Falls, '33, President of the Alumni Council, welcomed the workers in Dennis Auditorium. President Modlin and Dr. Austin Grigg, '40, dean of Richmond College, shared the stage with President Falls. Before going to the meeting, the men got their packets of supplies at the registration desk. After the meeting, they went down the chow line in the refectory, and later saw the basketball team defeat the Citadel at the Arena.

Class agents, men and women, are working hard to meet the record goals in the 1969 Alumni and Alumnae Funds. As the Alumni Bulletin goes to press, the men have $104,000.00 toward their goal of $150,000; the women, with a goal of $50,000, have raised a little over $32,000.

Chairmen Marsh and Falls are exhorting those who have not given to send in their contributions immediately. Both point out that although progress has been made, victory is not yet in sight 6

Win number 400 goes on the record for Mac Pitt after thirty-five years of basking in the sun of success with 'his boys' on the baseball field

by Jennings Culley Sports Editor, Richmond New Leader

Spring com es to Virginia in many forms . . . a robin on the wing . . . a blooming dogwood . . . a sprig of wild onion popping from the ground.

But on the rolling green of the University of Richmond campus, spring comes when the Gray Fox goes on the prowl.

Only when Mac Pitt dons his rubber windbreaker, pulls that baseball cap down on his ears and starts pacing nervously up and down the sidelines of the baseball field, can one really be sure winter has passed.

For 35 years, as Spider baseball coach, Pitt has been gathering "my boys" together on the windy, cold days of March for the start of practice .

And for 35 years Pitt and his boys have enjoyed basking in the sun of success by the time May rolls around.

Pitt and success have made a happy blend , like ice cream and hot fudge, and the alumni have eaten it up!

So it was heartwarming, but not surprising when Pitt reached a coaching milestone on a blustery March day .

On a day that made you wonder about spr ing, the Spiders whipped Buffalo and th e victory went on the ledger as the 400th win in Pitt's brilliant and inspiring career as coach and counselor.

A kindly, soft-spoken leader of men, Pitt never measured his success by victories on the field, despite 16 state championships and three Southern Conference crowns .

And he has never measured his success by the stars he's produced and sent into professional baseball, many of whom made it to the big leagues .

Pitt is the breed of man who likes to measure success by the helping hand he's held out for others .

Th ere, Pitt 's victories are countless. "l don 't know where I'd be today," a form er player and now successful businessman proudly admits , "if it hadn't been for Coach Pitt.

"He taught me all I ever knew about baseball. But more important, he pulled me back from a bad road and gave me a purpose in life.

"I know it sounds trite, but he was a father to me when I needed one."

An incident some years ago show vividly the nature of the man.

A father stopped by Millhiser Field with his five-year-old son to watch the Spiders practice .

It was one of those raw March days when Pitt wouldn't think of endangering a pitcher 's arm with batting practice, so he had the team drilling on defense.

He 'd set the ball on a rubber tee and have the players hit a roller or line screamer and then run the bases.

'Come here, son," Pitt yelled to the youngster and the kid sheepishly walked up to the plate. "Now take this bat and knock the ball as far as you can."

The kid swung mightily and tapped the ball about as far as a good bunt would go. While the catcher and pitcher stood looking at each other, the runner beat it out.

"You gotta be ready," Pitt screamed. " You gotta be ready for anything."

The episode points up Pitt's two greatest attributes as a coach-his love for the boy and his insistence on learning the game's fundamentals.

To this day, the boy has never forgotten "the day I played for Richmond" and the man who took time out to be nice.

No doubt, the pitcher and catcher have never forgotten the way they pulled an Alphonse-Gaston act on the bunt. And if they're still playing baseball, you can bet-they're ready for anything.

On the technical side of baseball, Mac Pitt has few peers-even in the professional managerial ranks.

He 's always ben a stickler for perfection of baseball's basic plays, those little things that mean the difference between winning and losing.

To this day, he drills his team hard and long on defensive technique . . . to be sure that, under pressure, they can instinctively make the right relay throw, hit the proper cutoff man and throw to the proper base.

Offensively, he works a team just as diligently. Every man must know how to bunt, how to hit behind the runner, how to take the extra base.

Spider teams have always been marked by exceJlent pitching and that, too, is the result of Pitt's experienced hand. He's always handled pitchers with cunning and care, even risking defeats on cold days rather than tamper with an overworked arm.

Like all managers, Pitt probably feels he 's never blessed with an abundance of good hitters. But even without fence busters, Pitt's teams have always managed runs with their uncanny skill on the bases.

The squeeze play is one of baseball 's prettiest plays-and it's won more games for Pitt than rivals like to remember.

Over the years, Spider teams have been so sound in all phases of the game, many fans wondered how Pitt would have done as a major league manager.

Chances are he would have been a winner. But Mac Pitt's life has been with "my boys."

Sure, he takes justifiable pride in the many players he's sent into pro ball, especially those who made it to the bigtime like pitcher Lew Burdette (Milwaukee Braves), pitcher Porter Vaughan (Philade lphia Athletics), pitcher Herb Hash (Boston Red Sox) and pitcher Bucky Jacobs and first baseman Jack Sanford ( Washington Senators) .

But Pitt's greatest satisfaction has come in the hundreds of boys he has developed into young men . Every player who has donned a Richmond uniform has been richer when he hung it up. You can't play for Mac Pitt without some of the man rubbing off on you.

The best stories of the quiet manner in which he helped a person over a troublesome spot or directed a misguided youth back to the straight and narrow will remain untold. They 're locked in the hearts of the grateful recipients.

But as coach, Sunday School teacher and director of Camp Virginia, Pitt has left his mark on many.

Some years ago there was a player who after suffering a head injury was bothered by failing eyesight to the extent that he couldn 't follow

a fly ball. But Pitt knew

it would crush the youngster 's spirit if he couldn't play his senior year, so Pitt tried to hide the problem and played the boy.

On the last day of the season, he got his reward, The player delivered the key hit in a win over arch-rival William & Mary that clinched another state title.

To many, Pitt seems as much a fixture at Richmond as the stately pines. He first arrived on campus in 1916 and during the next few years made a name as a basketball, football and baseball player.

After coaching at Fork Union Military Academy for some years, he returned as Spider coach in 1933 and went on to coach basketball and serve as athletic director in addition to his baseball duties.

In 1967, he formally retired and they renamed the field in his honor.

But when spring rolled around the next year, a rush call went out to Pitt to come back as baseball coach. He readily answered the call and the winning tradition at Richmond has continued.

Looking back on the years now, Pitt says if he had it to do over again, he wouldn't change a thing. ''I'd coach and work with boys," Pitt says. "The boys I've coached and worked with have been dear to me. The many friends I've made through coaching mean a great deal. "I've been amply and sufficiently rewarded."

And so have the hundreds of young men who were privileged to call Mac Pitt " my coach."

FACULTY PROFILE:

Dr.Gregory

Social

Scientist Thirteen hundred men now residing in the Virginia State Penitentiary will wholeheartedly applaud a suggestion of Dr. E. W. Gregory, Jr., chair man of the department of Sociology at the University of Richmond.

He wants to get rid of the penitentiary.

But he quickly adds that that doesn't mean that the inmates should be turned loose. "We ought to replace the penitentiary with three smaller institutions," Dr. Gregory says. "There would be an admitting institution, which would include a hospital and where the prisoners would be evaluated, then a medium security inst itution and a maximum security institution."

But right now all this is in the "exploratory stage."

He knows whereof he

speaks, for in addition to his duties as chairman of the department of sociology at the University of Richmond, he is chairman of the State Board of Welfare ar.d Institutions. There are other positions in which he has served the public, and a list of them would be longer than most of the prison records of the persons in whom he is professionally interested.

Among those other civic jobs is service on the Virginia Commission on the Aging, for which last year he received a scroll in appreciation of his services.

Those two areas of interest-social pathology and gerontology-have kept Dr. Gregory busy for all of his professiona I Iife .

He has lived up to his belief that "a social scientist ought to get out into the realities of life, to combine teaching with first-hand study of particular problems."

His study of and service on the state board led him to defend the State Penitentiary against allegations of mistreatment of prisoners .

"With the available facilities the program there is not a bad one," he said, adding that "the administrative personnel are excellent."

Dr. Gregory is an admirer of the director of the department of Welfare and institutions, Otis L. Brown, '56, who took the top job in September of 1966. He considers Mr. Brown's record ofachievement in the field of public administration, "although comparatively short , is most impressive."

But he asserted that the one large institution should be eliminated in favor of the three smaller ones. His reason: "We can do a more effective job with smaller institutions ." A more effective job, he continued, includes improving the present program of "education and vocational training,, occupational training, with emphasis on training men for jobs in today's economy."

In further comments on the state prison system, Dr. Gregory said, "While there

are many defects, the women's state prison farm is one of the finest institutions in the country. A lot is needed, but from the very beginning it has been very effectively run."

Although Dr. Gregory is perhaps better known for his work with the State Board of Welfare and Institutions, he has been extremely active in his study of the aging. His interest in this area began shortly after he came to the University of Richmond in 1946 to chair the sociology department. He was one of a number of distinguished citizens who attended the White House Conference on Aging in 1961, and his recent service on the Virginia Commission on the Aging was outstanding.

"Much was needed, and still is needed, in research into the problems of the aged," Dr. Gregory said. However, great strides have been made toward solving some of the problems of the aged, in the areas of "social activities, physical and mental health care, adequate minimum income and opportunity to work."

The study of the old has not lessened his own vigor.

His activities are many and varied as can be seen from the list of organizations of which he has served as the top officer: The Family and Children's Service of Richmond Board of Directors, Richmond City Advisory Board of Public Welfare, Richmond Area Community Council, Virginia Council on Social Welfare, University Center in Virginia Research Council , Torch Club of Richmond.

In addition, he is a member of a number of professiona I organizations and finds time to be active in the work of Westhampton Methodist Church.

Although the calendar indicates that Dr. Gregory is fast approaching the age of "the aging," his schedule is enough to tire a man half his age.

"Perhaps studying the old keeps one young," he said.

I

f there ever was a man in motion it is Alfred Ellsworth Dick Howard: skier, trombonist, author, baseball fan, law professor, guiding hand behind the proposed revision of the State constitution and the "141st assemblyman" on the floor of the 1969 Virginia legislature.

You will have to go a long way, indeed, to find a man who has crammed more accomplishments into the first 35 years of his life.

It was because of Dick Howard's energy, thoroughness, and capability, that this distinguished University of Richmond alumnus was selected a year ago to guide the research that led to the report of the Commission on Constitutional Revision and taken up by the special session of the General Assembly in February. From the time he was appointed in March 1968 until last Christmas, Howard, a University of Virginia law professor, worked 16-hour days out of a 9 by 12 office in the law school directing a small but select staff in its research into all aspects of the Constitution. In addition, he spent days traveling throughout · the State to public hearings on the constitution and sampling opinion that led to the commission's proposals.

Yet his work didn't stop once the report was presented to the Governor on a January day in Williamsburg. During the Assembly session that followed, the likeable Dick Howard was the man of the hour ducking in and out of numerous legislative committee hearings, articulating points about the constitution; fielding questions in the halls of the Capitol from legislators and members of the press and trying to keep up with the specific points under study by legislative groups.

"It's not the number of hours in the day that I worry about," he said in the middle of a particularly crowded day, "it's knowing that I can't be in every committee meeting at the same time."

Yet he got around enough so that his face became one of the most familiar ones in the lovely old Jefferson-designed Statehouse.

But busy is the man and he likes it that way. "I've lived with it (the commission's report), slept with it for a long time now. I feel we'll be together for some time in the future too," he said. It figures that he'll be needed for a good while because of the requirement that constitutional changes must win the approval of two sessions of the legislature and the Virginia voter in referendum.

Howard's energy is easier to measure if you go back to his days at the University of Richmond. His record is going to be a hard one to beat.

He entered Richmond College in 1950 after attending Richmond public schools.

By the time he was awarded his degree in history and political science he had established a typical, unbelievable record!

In four years he posted a 2.96 average out of a possible 3.00; was selected the nation's outstanding ROTC cadet; won

A. E. Dick Howard, '54, sometimes know as the "141st member" of the Virginia General Assembly' chats with Speaker John Warren Cooke before the convening of an afternoon session of the House.

Dick Howard:141stAssemblyman the Alumni Council Medal as the outstanding graduate of Richmond College; received the J. Taylor Ellison Medal in History for the best piece of original investigation in history; was President of the Senate; and was selected Virginia's Outstanding College Student by the National Association of Manufacturers . He was Regimental Commander of ROTC; a columnist for the Collegian; a member of the band and glee club. Along the way he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and Omicron Delta Kappa.

Beyond the boundaries of the Richmond campus young Howard became a trombonist in the fledgling Richmond Symphony Orchestra and youth chairman for the Greater Richmond Civic Recreation Inc ., the group that brought International League baseball to Richmond.

After graduation Howard spent two years in the army and won first ranking in the Transportation Officers Basic Course. His army tour behind him, Howard entered the school of Law at the University of Virginia in 1956 and two years later was selected a Rhodes Scholar .

As a member of Oxford University's Christ Church College, he studied politics, philosophy and economics, all the while mingling with the cream of the British "establishment" who send their sons there.

Long vacations at Christmas, Easter and during the summer permitted him to travel extensively to Russia and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and Western Europe .

Yet while he was studying at Christ Church College he was imparting know!-

edge to others with slide lectures on America to groups in London, Oxford , and Cambridge. "There were times of freedom in England when , almost for the first time, I had to interpret my country, my nation for those who shared none of our common experience."

He returned to the University of Virginia in 1960 and took his law degree a year later with a 3.62 average and was again at his customary perch at the head of the class. Howard went on to work for a Washington law firm of Covington & Burling and in 1962 became a clerk for Justice Hugo L. Black, of the United States Supreme Court.

Joining the University of Virginia law school faculty in 1964 where he became associate dean, his interest in constitutional law led to the publication of a book on England's Magna Carta that same year for the Magna Carta Commission of Virginia. His The Road from Runnymede: Magna Carta and Constitutionalism in America was published in 1968. He is also the editor of the "Jamestown Essays on Representation" to be published later this year. His writing talent played no small part in the lucid report of the Constitutional Commission .

Howard feels the commission's report was a good one and well received. But months of popping in and out of doors had been "a little frantic " particularly with the legislature in session . For this particular session of the Assembly he is probably in the role of the famous " twelfth man" on the football team or in the case of the legislature the " 141st assemblyman. " 11

Sports: Season-end Basketball Report The University of Richmond's basketball team, which finished fourth in the Southern Conference with a 6-7 record, defeated Furman, 66-64, in the opening round of the conference tourney at Charlotte on Frank Owen's last second goal.

Coach Lewis Mills' quintet, however, was eliminated in the semi-finals, 97-83, by nationally ranked Davidson, which went on to capture the tournament.

The season was somewhat of a disappointment although there were several moments of glory. The club finished with a 13-14 record. It was expected to do much better. However, Wilton Ford, AllSouthern center of the year before, didn't regain his form until late in the season and finished with an 11.2 average compared to the 20. l mark of his junior year.

Jim Hewitt, the big 6-8 sophomore, suffered a foot injury which hampered his play most of the year. As a result the Spiders weren't a consistent quintet.

Hewitt was a big man on the boards early in the season and made the winning basket in an 80-79 upset of West VirHewitt, however, ginia at Morgantown. sufiered his foot injury in the sixth game of the season in which Coach Mills' team dropped a close 62-60 game to Davidson.

There was one big win the Spiders will remember. It was a 78-77 triumph over Virginia Tech on Bobby Ukrop's twopointer with 50 seconds to play. Tech already had won the State Big Five crown . Richmond finished second with a 5-2 Big Five mark.

Kenny Foster, 6-2 junior guard, was a standout all season. He averaged 20.1 points and was named to both the AllSouthern and All-Big Five teams. Kenny's

~engtheningShadows of a ~an Dr. Mitchell would have a settling influence today on students who think the 'establishment' is wrong.

-Edwin

S. Cohen

Edwin S. Cohen, '33 , assistant secretary of the treasury for tax policy, believes that Dr. Mitchell would have a settling influence today on students who think the "establishment" is wrong . "He would have such an influence," said Mr. Cohen, "because he insisted on the pursuit of knowledge in an effort to find out what the real facts are."

Mr. Cohen sat in his Washington, D. C. office and remembered back to 1929 when he entered the University of Richmond as a youngster "with three or four weeks to go before I turned 15."

"My first class that freshman year was Modern and Contemporary European History, I believe it was called, and it was taught by Dr. Mitchell. On the first full day of class, Dr. Mitchell set the tone for the entire year, and thus began his influence on me and on all of his students .

"We had taken our seats that day, and I had chosen a front seat. Dr. Mitchell stood near me and suddenly pointed a finger at one of the students and said, 'Mr. Jones, stand up and tell us the cause of the Civil War.' "Mr. Jones rose to his feet and said, 'States Rights, sir.'

"Wrong , Jones!" thundered Dr. Mitchell.

"At that very moment," Mr . Cohen recalled, "Dr. Mitchell clapped his hands together right in my ear and roared, 'The cause of the Civil War was slavery, and don't any of you forget it.' " Mr . Cohen smiled and said, "Now that statement by Dr. Mitchell caused us all to freeze, and suddenly made all of us realize that this was going to be a different sort of class ." It was different, too, Mr. Cohen remembered.

"Among other things, Dr. Mitchell insisted that we read the newspapers daily, for he told us that everything related to current events could be compared to the history in our textbook . He led me to begin a habit I've never broken.

I'm still a constant reader of many newspapers and news magazines."

Mr. Cohen paused to reflect, then said, "In all of our reading, Dr. Mitchell reminded us that we were to take nothing for granted. 'Turn it over and see the other side' he would tell us. He insisted that we be skeptical of broad

statements and generalities, for he said that both were not necessarily always right or always wrong . We were constantly reminded to examine things on their own merit, not on prejudices, and then to make up our own minds. He told us that often hisory is written from personalized viewpoints, and we were to challenge all statements, finding both sides. ;'This idea in education was quite different for us in those days, "Mr. Cohen said . "All our lives we had been taught that students were to be seen and not heard unless called upon. When a teacher gave a student a fact, the student was to memorize it and be able to recite the fact back when called upon. Dr. Mitchell made us think facts , not recite them."

Mr. Cohen thought for a moment and said, "When I think now of Dr. Mitchell , I can truthfully say that I am glad that I had the opportunity to sit at the feet of this man with his intense mind and his great courage, for it took courage back then to goad students to think for themselves. I always been grateful that I had such an opportunity while I was still so young and able to profit from this man's great wisdom ."

As if all the memories were coming back now, Mr. Cohen said, "I must also tell you that I had inspiring discussions with other professors during my years at Richmond . I remember particularly Dr. Ryland , Dr. Loving, and others.

"Oh yes, one thing more, "he said , remembering suddenly. "Our class of '33 turned out two presidents of Federal Reserve Banks-Aubrey Heflin, at the Federal Reserve Bank in Richmond, and Brad Hickman , President of the Federal Reserve Bank in Cleveland."

The class of '33 , a depres sion class, turned out well, and Mr. Cohen, it is to be noted, received an "A " in Dr. Mitchell's history class.

I hold in reverence the honored memory of the man who did most to emancipate, enlarge, and enlighten my mind.

-Martin

Staples Shockley

My high school principal, Mr. H . R .

Holland, was a Richmond alumnus and a nephew of Dr. R. E. Loving. He sent me to Richmond and into Dr. Loviing's physics class in the fall of 1924 . I remember the old frame building, the big classroom with the long table for labo ratory demonstrations, and big, whitehaired Dr. Loving with his big voice, his twinkling eyes, his bubbling humor, his booming laugh , and his Fluvanna County farmyard illustrations for the principles of physics . "Rat" Hash, Emerson Hicks, Lee Smith, and I used to solve Dr. Loving's problems together up in Jeter Hall.

Dr. Loving's tests always consisted of six questions: answer the first four, any five, or all six. Once I got all six, and had the swellhead for two weeks-until the next test.

I had the distinction of taking physics with the president of Student Government, Nick Snead, a senior. Nick, as I remember, had flunked physics three times ; this was his fourth try. Dr. Loving "rode" him for his inability to comprehend what to Dr. Loving was as plain as a Fluvanna barnd oor, but always reminded him that anyone who failed three times got a passing grade on his fourth attempt. Nick passed, too . and graduated ; and we somehow sensed that even the inexorable laws which govern matter and energy might be moderated by humane consideration for human frailty .

Professor Garnett Ryland taught chemistry. He was a small, peppery man, Edwin S. Cohen, assistant secretary of the1 Treasury for tax policy, in the Nixon admin- eager, intense, no nonsense, all atoms, istration, is sworn in by William M. Dren- electrons, facts, and formulae. I rememnen, chief judge, U. S. Tax Court. With ber best his lecture on constant boiling solutions . After an authorative discourse them is Mrs. Cohen.

17

on this phenomenon of chemical conduct, Professor Ryland told how he had chanced upon it as a graduate student at "the Hopkins," how he had earned his Ph.D. for his research on it, and how he was credited with the discovery of more constant boiling solutions than any other chemist. Then he gave us a little stiff and formal bow, the bell rang, and we all applauded. Not until years later (and after his death) did I learn that he was one of the South's leaders in race relations.

Dr. Rolvix Harlan came during my time, the new professor of sociology. He was a heavy-set man, solid in both person and pedagogy. He was the first man I ever heard lecture frankly and seriously about sex, about the unromantic aspects of marriage such as rent, groceries, and life insurance, about education for responsible parenthood. I don't remember his statistics on poverty, malnutrition, and crime; but his class was a sobering and maturing experience.

Haynie Seay taught economics. He was our model of sartorial elegance and impeccable deportment, the first man I knew who wore starched shirts, wing collars, and polkadot bowties. From him I learned the economic theories of Henry George, Adam Smith, Karl Marx; and strange new concepts like laissez-faire, exploitation, proletariat, entrepeneur, and unearned increment. We suspected him of radical ideas, gossiped that he was a single-taxer, and quoted him in our literary society debates on Socialism vs Capitalism.

Every day after lunch we went to the long lecture hall in the basement of the administration Building. Exactly at one o'clock our chatter hushed when we heard brisk footsteps coming down the hall. We watched him pass the backdoor ( we left it open for that purpose), enter the front door, mount the lecture platform, deposit his armful of books

on the table; then he turned and greeted us, always calling us "gentlemen": Dr. Samuel Chiles Mitchell, professor of history. Thousands of us remember his pink, bald head, his ruddy cheeks, his neat, white goatee, his piped waistcoat and cutaway coat; he was actually a small man, but he wore distinction like a garment, and to us he was awesome. We and each were seated alphabetically, week the rows moved; Dr. Mitchell assured us that a front row seat was worth more than a back row, and we knew he was right.

He lectured eloquently, vividly, dramatically. When the regicides chopped off the head of King Charles, "it fell with a thud that was heard in every royal palace on the continent of Europe." We heard it too. When Martin Luther nailed his theses to the door of the cathedral, Dr. Mitchell took a sheet of paper and with his knuckles nailed it to the classroom door, "and, gentlemen, the blows of that hammer are echoing today throughout Christendom." One of the kings of Europe (I don't remember which one) was a dissolute and depraved monarch who "went a-whoring down the Danube."

I have known brilliant professors at other universities, but nowhere have I encountered a match for Dr. Mitchell's flashing wit. When Skinny Lacy told him that the emancipation proclamation was issued in 1850, he said, "Exactly right, Mr. Lacy; that's why we didn't have a Civil War," and went right on.

When distinguished visitors came to Richmond, they often came to our class, the guests of Dr. Mitchell. Sometimes he told us of his talks with senators and statesmen with whom he had breakfasted that morning at the Jefferson Hotel.

Historic Richmond was our laboratory; we visited and wrote reports on shrines, edifices, monuments. In Capitol Square

stands George Washington, surrounded by twelve great Virginians. When Dr. Mitchell sent us to inspect the statue, he admonished us to estimate accurately the relative sizes of the twelve. "Once each month," he told us, "I go to see that statue; and every time those figures change in size." I knew I was a brilliant student because I got the point.

We sat enthralled through the lectures, and after the bell we crowded around to pick up further crumbs of knowledge, gems of wit. I heard Dr. Mitchell tell one of my colleagues, "A man comes to college to learn to take a bath every day." A backwoods fundamentalist who asked, "Dr. Mitchell, do you believe in hell?" was reassured: "Of course; I was there yesterday."

He sent me there once. The classroom windows were at ground level and my seat was by a window; the gravel path was just outside; it was spring; Westhampton girls were walking to the carstop; my fancy turned; possibly my attention strayed from history. Suddenly I sensed the grim and awful silence. Dr. Mitchell had stopped his lecture. When my guilty eyes gave up those pretty girls, I saw Dr. Mitchell standing at the edge of his little platform holding a sheet of paper. He lifted an admonitory finger and he cleared his throat. "Gentlemen," said softly into that electric silence, "I have here a message from Dean Keller.

She writes: 'Dear Dr. Mitchell, whenever I send girls from Westhampton College to the carstop, I expect Mr. Shockley to see that they get there safely.'"

Some day I will place a bronze plaque on that windowsill in memory of Dr. Mitchell. Meanwhile, I hold in reverence the honored memory of the man who did most to emancipate, enlarge, and enlighten my mind. I had great professors; and the greatest of these was Dr. Mitchell.

Mary Ellen Anderson, Director of Admissions, reports to alumnae on getting into Westhampton In the spring of the year college admissions officers and high school seniors "reckon with" a similar problem. Except for successful Early Decision candidates, most seniors have taken the advice of both school counselors and college consultants and applied for admission to several colleges, perhaps to a first choice, a second choice, and a "back-up." When predetermined dates begin to draw near it is not difficult to see why both of us, the high school senior and the college officer, are eager to learn of the decisions of the other. The problem which was, "to whom shall we offer admission" becomes, "to which college will they confirm acceptances ."

Obviously, the future of a college, the future of the individuals who attend a college, have a direct bearing on the crucial decisions relative to college admissions and to college choices .

It is an awesome task to evaluate the credentials of hundreds of qualified candidates for admission to a college.

The Westhampton College Admissions Committee takes seriously our responsibility to the College and to the individual applicant. Many, many hours are spent in trying to give full considerations to every application . The committee reflects on the often-asked questions, as posed by college alumnae, counselors, parents, and prospective students.

"What are we looking for in our students?" "Do we want only 'A' records?" "Are we placing too much emphasis on College Board test scores?" "Are we considering the leadership and service potential of our candidates?"

In a measure these questions can be answered by looking at the pool of applications to Westhampton College for the 1968-1969 freshman class. Table 1 ( on page 18) shows the high school class rank, in a quintile distribution, in relation to the Scholastic Aptitude Test, Mathematics; Table 2 in relation to the Achievement Test, English Composition. The mean scores of the enrolled Freshman Class , September 1968 , were : SAT-Verbal 558, Math 568. Achievement Tests: English Composition 580; Math (Level I ) 540, Math (Level 2) 578 .

The most recent edition , Manual of Freshman Class Profiles, 19671969, published by the College Entrance Examination Board, New York shows that colleges over-admit applicants to obtain the desired freshman class. With multiple applications by students the need for over-admission is apparent.

For the past two years almost 50% of the freshman class were admitted under the Early Decision Plan, Single Choice.

This plan as agreed upon by the participating members of the College Entrance Examination Board specifies that students apply to one college, declaring their intention to enroll in that college if offered admission; deferred candidates being notified in time to apply to other colleges of their choosing.

Significant guidlines of the Westhampton College Early Decision Plan, as compared to the regular process are noteworthy: Early Regular Test dates: not later than not later than January of July after Junior Year.

Senior year.

Required tests: S.A.T. and S.A.T . and Three Achievetwo Achievement Tests : ment Tests : English English Composition and Composition, Math , ForMath (Language may be eign Language . taken in Senior year) .

Completed application: by

by January 15, Senior Year November 1, Senior Year.

Notification date : by Noby March 15. vember 15.

Candidate reply date : by within three weeks of acDecember 1. ceptance .

Not easy to quantify, and qualify, are the non-academic activities of high school seniors. Information regarding student participation in school functions , community services, and church activities complement and enhance the overall profile; seldom do these qualifications serve as substitute for academic achievement. Nevertheless, Westhampton College students generally have an impressive background of interests and activities.

The Westhampton Admissions Committee does not set forth a desired geographical distribution, howeve r we encourage out-of-state applications . Approximately 25 % of the enrolled resident students come from states other than Virginia .

Except for standarized test requirements , entrance specifications to Westhampton College have changed very little through the years.

Although no remedial English or sub-Math courses have been offered for ten years, a foreign language deficiency continues to be removable by taking language in college for non-degree credit.

A well-known fact, availabl e dormitory space has not changed for more than two decades. Therefore, places for only 110 freshmen can be reserved each year. Sadly, we must deprive admission to many qualified high school seniors who say they really want to come to Westhampton College . Likewise transfer candidates cannot be strongly encouraged to apply for admission unless they have relat ives or family friends in the Richmond area with whom they can and will live.

The reason we do not, and cannot , offer admission to many candidates, both freshmen and transfers, is apparent ; there is just no place to "put" them. Would somebody like to build us another dormitory?

LOCALCLUBS RichmondClub President: Mrs. John B. Bullock (Marcella Hammock '54), 301-E N. Hamilton St., Richmond, Virginia 23221.

Over 100 Westhampton alumnae and their children visited Santa Claus, listened to a storyteller, sang, and played with clowns at the annual Westhampton Alumnae Children's Christmas Party at Keller Hall on Dec. 15.

Serving on the Children's Party Committee were : Mrs. Jerry Lindquist (Mary Trew), chairman; Mrs. Robert Hill (Ruth Adkins); Mrs. Ellis Dunkum (Elizabeth Ramos); Mrs. Jerry Haynie (Bonnie Lewis); Mrs. Dan Shreve (Caroline Massey); and Mrs. Eston Cosby (Mabel Shupe); all of '59.

The Richmond Club dinner-theater party was held on March 13 at Swift Creek Mill Playhouse. One hundred and four persons attended the comedy, "StarSpangled Girl". Our thanks go to Ann Peery Frederick, '56, chairman of the theater party.

The class of 1966 is sponsoring a spring luncheon and alumnae concert on April 19th. Quita Tansey Collins and Judy Eastman Britton are serving as cochairmen.

PeninsulaClub President: Mrs. Robert Miller (Virginia Jones '56), 184 Yeardley Drive, Newport News , Va. 23601.

The Peninsula Alumnae Club held a coffee in February at the home of Mrs. John Paulson (Mary Campbell '45). We invited the Tidewater and Suffolk Clubs and both were well represented. Our special guest was Betty Ann Doub, the Alumnae President from Richmond, who told us of the recent Alumnae activities.

We are now making plans for our annual spring luncheon and installation of officers to be held in April.

Three Million Readersof TIME Are Introducedto Westhampton The free thinking young intellectual with gleaming long blonde hair pictured on the opposite page introduced Westhampton College to three million readers of Time magazine over a six-state area when she appeared in the January 31 issue.

Space for the Westhampton College advertisement was donated by Time under a policy the magazine initiated several years ago as a contribution to higher education.

The ad, reprinted here in its entirety for the benefit of alumnae, was produced

by Cargill, Wilson & Acree, a Richmond advertising firm, under the direction of Mrs. Betty Ann Doub, president of the Westhampton College Alumnae Association, and an enthusiastic student committee.

Their goal was to present the academic ability and personal responsibility of Westhampton students in a creative message that would capture the attention of the Time committee which selects the college advertisements to appear under the program.

Three million introductions to Westhampton are testimony to their success.

It is possible for a girl to come from the top tenth of her high school class to a college made up of girls with the same academic standing, and still act like a girl. It is possible for a Student Government to really govern and for students to bring about meaningful changes on campus by using reason instead of riot.

It's understandable that this is a little hard to believe. But you could

watch it happen any day, at Westhampton College. We like to think that being a coordinate school within the University of Richmond has something to do with it. It offers a flexibility of faculty and facilities not possible at a lot of women's colleges. We"re sure it has a positive influence on our academic standing.

But as for the rest. we can't take the credit. Because we don't make or

enforce the rules here. The girls are responsible for that sort of thing. So the next time you start wondering what this world is coming to, write our President 's office for some information on Just reading it could Westhampton. make you feel a lot better about the coming generation.

Mrs. Dayton McKillop (Margaret Semmes) Rt. 2, Box 127F Glen Allen, Virginia 23060

Plans for celebrating our Golden Reunion have developed under the capable hands of Frances Shipman Sutton, Elizabeth Tompkins, and Virginia Jones Snead. We, of 1919, extend our thanks to them for the hours they have spent in providing for our entertainment. We were thrilled to receive from Shippie the schedule of activities for our coming celebration. And Shippie, we hope everyone can make it May 16th to West Point. We have looked forward each reunion to our first meeting and dinner with you, when we enjoy the beauty and peace of your lovely home. We thank you for inviting us again.

We were very proud of our "Tommy" when we read an item in the Richmond Times Dispatch by someone who had checked the women lawyers of Virginia.

Elizabeth was the first one, and the longest in continued practice. She was given the title of Dean of Women Lawyers. Realizing the demands of her busy life, we can appreciate all the more the time and thought she has given Westhampton College and our own class through all these years; especially

now, helping to make our 50th reunion a happy and outstanding one. We are anticipating the pleasure of breakfast with you, Tommy, on May 18th.

And then the breakfast at Westhampton Saturday morning will be an added surprise and pleasure, made possible by our hostesses Virginia Jones Snead, Elvira Miller Abernathy and Virginia Bundick Mayes. We thank each one of you. Virginia Mayes has written, "Archer and I have moved into our new home in Jarratt next to Vi and Thornton Abernathy. We sold the Florida place and plan to be in Jarratt in the winter months and out on the farm in warm weather." I have heard that she has recently given a lovely and valuable collection of old glass to the Courtland Museum, a branch of the Virginia Museum.

Elvira writes, "I keep busy with church, civic and social activities, like the rest of you. However, 1969 will be a 'red letter' year for my family. My 50th reunion in May; a new baby expected in July, the first in my nephew's family; my niece's wedding in August and my sister's Golden Wedding Anniversary in August."

Margaret Hutchison Rennie says, "For my husband and me life goes on in 'the even tenor of its way'. He is semi-retired from business, but leads quite an active life. My attention centers largely on our ten grandchildren, in age from one to twelve years. Our son, James, Jr. is now on the faculty of the University of Richmond's University College. He received his M.A. degree in Business Administration from the University of Richmond in 1964, and is Assistant Director of the Management Center, and Assistant Professor of Business Administration." She expects to join the activities of our reunion celebration.

Billy Sydnor had a happy evening when some of the earlier John Marshal! Cadets got together and gave a beautiful dinner party for a group of their retired teachers, of which she was one. She is enjoying her retirement and is "thankful to survive."

She hopes she can make it to the class reunion!

Virginia Gay is also enjoying her retirement in her home where she has lived in Richmond for about sixty years. She had a delightful bus trip through parts of New England in the early fall splendor of changing foliage. Her interests are her Persian and Siamese cats and her garden club.

Esther Sanford Jett plans to come. She is President of the Virginia Beach City Union of the International Order of the King's Daughters and Sons, and will be attending the State Convention meeting at Front Royal, May 7th and 8th. She is glad that our reunion date is the third week-end.

Adelaide Walton Cowherd enjoys life with her husband on Monteith Farm near Gordonsville. She has four daughters, one son and twelve grandchildren. A granddaughter, Louise Janney, graduated at the University of Virginia last June and is now nursing at that hospital, while her brother is a student at Wake Forest College in N. C., but will transfer to the U. of Va. for his last two years. One of her daughters has five little girls, including triplets nearly six years old. Adelaide writes, "They are not identical, one has darker hair. Won't they have a time when they all start school next year!" Another daughter has one son and lives in Richmond where her husband works for the Government. Her son, Walton Rush, works for the Internal Revenue Service in Richmond. He married Sara Ward Sherman, who was a Westhampton graduate, and they have three little girls. Last sum-

mer Adelaide and her husband, on their way to Luray, were run into, and she was badly bruised internally. She was some weeks recovering from the painful injuries.

She hopes to be with us in May. Audrey Colonna Twyford writes from Lewisburg, West Virginia, "I am still here at Greenbriar College, and my twenty -five years of service will be observed in June.

I plan to return next year and I suppose as long as I am well and can be of service I shall stay on. My years have been very happy and satisfying. I've kept my home in Accomac and return there each summer for the vacation period, unless I take off for Europe, which I did summer before last. I have only one brother left and I spend each Christmas with him and his family in Virginia Beach." Congratulations, Audrey, twenty-five years of service! We are glad that you will continue at Greenbriar for your influence will be needed in the lives of our students.

Juliette and Webster Carpenter went to Banesville, Ga. for their granddaughter's wedding December 21st, then for Christmas and a longer visit with Pam and family.

Noel was a lovely bride, using on her wedding gown the same beautiful old lace first worn by her great-grandmother, Frances Todd FauntleRoy, then by Juliette, then by her mother, Pamela, and now Noel, the fourth generation. They were with Pam for six weeks, enjoying their seven months old grandson's development. She plans to be with us, and wrote: 'Time was when we joked about hobbling back on our canes and crutches. More truth than poetry in that prediction, for I shall be using that cane and thankful that I get around as well as I do with it. As time goes on I get more strength and ability to manouver." She hopes all our class will come.

Catherine Nottingham Richardson thoughtfully sent a card from Princeton, Fla. saying she hopes it will be possible for her to see us in May. Lillian Robertson Carter has a family that's different! She regrets that her children did not return to Westhampton but "went in other directions." Her oldest daughter who lost her husband in 1961, decided after being out of college for 27 years, that it would be worth the effort, so has returned to Madison College to complete her degree in home economics.

Her other daughter, who lives in Hampton, is now at William and Mary Extension preparing for teaching kindergarten after her two are through college. "All but two of my family, five grandchildren and two daughters, are finding college life thrilling.

Isn't it great that one never becomes too old to take advantage of going to college?"

Lillian herself returned to college to get her AB and MS degrees, and worked for the State for seventeen years. She will be helping us celebrate our Fiftieth.

We want to thank all of you who have shared in keeping our class together through these years and given us so many happy memories. Here's to our GOLDEN CELEBRATION.

Mrs. W. Ney Evans (May Alcott Thompson) 4651 Kenmore Drive, N.W. Washington, D. C. 20007

Mary Hart Willis Winfrey lost her husband in January. "After 40 years," she said, "it's hard to change one's way of living."

She is the tenth of the twenty -two married members of our Class list of twenty-seven to know widowhood. The Winfreys are widely appreciated for personal and school

leadership. Mary Hart, because of arthntis, retired from teaching in 1957. Friends who come to her, the changing moods of Old Rag Mountain, and her undaunted spirit keep her life full.

Leonora Dorsey Kilby has been back in the schoolroom, substituting for an ill teacher at Fauquier High School in Warrenton. Her newest adventure, however, was qualifying as instructor in the defensive driving program of the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP). She uses the printed materials of the National Safety Council. . . . . Leonora represented '21 at Alumnae Workshop Day, and found Class Fund Agents enthusiastic. She, Catherine Little Dupuy, and Liza Everett Darden have accepted appointment as our Class Agents.

To Gladys Lumsden McCutcheon, our former Class Agent, we give most grateful thanks, and join her in dreaming of the day when '21 will contribute 100 percent. ...

Gladys, Frances Vaughan Faglie, Katherine Spicer Edmunds, Theresa Pollak, and May Thompson Evans attended Homecoming last November. ....

Gladys says, "The Lord willing, I hope to go into 1970, as that's the year for me to retire."

Catherine Little Dupuy's retirement days are crowded with C. F. C. Church includes adult Sunday School Class, chairmanship in WMS, delegate to state WMU meeting.

Family revolves around six grandchildren.

Community focuses on the Mental Health Board, the B&PW, and the Retired Teacher's Association.

Liza Everett Darden, as a Colonial Williamsburg hostess ( often in the Palace), has been honored with a complimentary VIP trip to Old Georgetown. She enjoyed tea at the British Embassy and in the elegant Diplomatic Rooms of the State Department, tour of Dumbarton Oaks, the Rare Garden Books Library . . . Liza's yen to travel carried her last fall to New England. ln her brother's home in Vermont, she met the delightful Dr. Seuss. Early spring has carried her south to Natchez, New Orleans, Belengrath. Each summer she takes grandchildren several times to Cape Hatteras.

Stuart Everett Moseley, the other half of the Everett sister pair, is in among the in masters. She has had diverticulitis. Last August she had major surgery-four weeks in the hospital, three in the medi-center.

She hopes recent follow-up surgery will remove her from the crowded list of this fashionable malady, and expects to be as good as new.

Ruth Henderson, in Knoxville, continues to enjoy the responsibility of her program: to arrange local home hospitality for visitors from other countries who come to observe the Tennessee Valley Authority.

Since beginning this activity in 1961, Ruth has enabled more than 6,300 such visitors to know the warm-hearted homes of the community, and Knoxville to know the world ....

Recently, on return from New York, Ruth stopped overnight in the Bethesda home of the daughter of her 1919 roommate, Willie Mae Culbert Ogilvie.

Mary Blackwell Hudnall devoted last summer to the marriage of her only child.

Caroline (BA-WC '64: BS-Columbia '66) had taught during the winter in the School of Nursing at the University of Virginia.

There she met a graduate student. On August 10, they were married; on August 17, he received his PhD; on September 1, they moved to Davidson College, where he is an Assistant Professor of Physics.

That's the pace of today.

Virginia Lane, MD, who adopted Blue

Mountain, Mississippi (the location of her last teaching post) as her permanent abode, has worked out an interesting arrangement with Blue Mountain College. She has deeded to the college her home, which is just across the road and which she had turned into three apartments. The College receives the rent and is responsible for maintenance and repairs, while Virginia has her apartment for life, along with life's extra-her lawn and garden, near neighbors, and the intellectual and cultural activities offered by the College. Last summer, she attended the 40th reunion of her Class of '28 of Woman's Medical College. Classmates, with former faculty, were guests at the estate of a class member, in the foothills of Frenchtown, N. J. In her travels she also revisited the Northfield School for Girls, and saw many Westhampton friends, including Leonora Dorsey.

Elizabeth Elsea is guarding her health in her Arlington apartment. Sharp weather has prevented much of her outdoor exercise. When the frost has gone, she will go to her home place in Berryville for the summer, as is her custom.

Ruth Hoover, is also in. She has had a serious bout with the Hong Kong flu. . . .

During the fall, she was in Bassett, chatelaine for her brother Carl (UR '18), whose wife was hospitalized following a heart attack. While in the Bassett area, Ruth was luncheon guest in Catherine Little's home, and saw the Shipman sisters ....

Christmas she spent with her son and family in Manassas. He is Field Representative at the new Mental Health Institute in Northern Virginia.

Theresa Pollak is having the busiest of her 40 years at VCU. She will retire July 1. Functions in her honor have carried her to Cloud 9, but with humility. Her reminiscences of the 40 years will be printed, in time (hopefully) for a dinner honoring her on April 25. The major project among these activities, however, can be enjoyed by everyone fortunate enough to be in Richmond between April 11 through May 15. A retrospective exhibition of Theresa's work will be held in the new girl's dormitory, Rhoads Hall, at Laurel and Franklin Streets. Fifty or more of her paintings will be exhibited, dating from 1924 through the present, daily hours 1:00 o'clock to 4: 30 ....

For next year, a one man show at Washington and Lee is in the offing.

The famed hospitality of Alice Williams Whitley again drew Alice Garnett Thomas ('22) and May Thompson Evans to Round Hill for a gourmet luncheon in Alice's beautiful home-place, a day of news swapping, and poking among landmarks of Loudoun County. Isabel Dickerson Norman ('27, whose daughter Rachael Norman Graves was '64) and Mrs. Contie Adams (whose sister was the late Margaret Taylor, '24) were also guests. Tour landmarks included historic Ketoctin Baptist Church with its quiet dignity and generations buried in its shadow. The interior of the church stirred visions of Williams-Leslie weddings from Alice's grandfather to her own.

Isabel's home also dates back to the early days of Loudoun. . . . Alice is still performing miracles, such as teaching high school math while enjoying the deep affection of her students. In addition to civic, hospital, and church activities, she is enthusiastic about the Sesame Study Club.

This is a group (self-generating through individual research) whose members produce their own programs, on such topics as the history of Loudoun County, of Virginia, of Italy.

May Thompson Evans, during Homecoming, was again the delighted guest in the home of Leslie and R. E. Booker. That was shortly before Leslie had her successful cataract operation. Her single-purpose devotion as Alumnae Secretary over 25 years was touchingly revealed by her remark: "I have continually prayed that my eyes would hold off the operation until my secretarial service was completed." . . .

May sampled over-night the special brand of Florence and Dr. Henry Decker's hospitality at Warsaw Plantation near Aylett.

May returned with stars in her eyes, reflecting the ante-bellum home with its 6abreast stairs to the upper floor, dining room and kitchen below the cool earth, other architectural features that distinguish the homes of yesterday. The Plantation, too, is a memory to cherish, especially when enjoyed under Henry's guidance, in his car through virgin woods, and over unmapped fields. But most exciting is the role of the Deckers in the lives of all families within travelling distance of the Doctor's office. A building separate from the home is a diagnostic-treatment -prescription-purchase center, conducted through daylight hours by Dr. Henry and Nurse Florence. They are a new hope, a new strength to all who can reach Warsaw Plantation. . . . May is discouraged over her continuing postponement of clearing her career records out of the rumpus room.

Files reach to the ceiling. Years ago, papers were promised to Radcliffe's Woman's Archives (The Arthur and Elizabeth Schlessinger Library on the History of Women in America). But each day gets filled with something else. From tidbits to· a luncheon in her honor, by the International Association of Personnel in Employment Security because of her service as International Vice President, D. C. Chapter President, N. C. Director of the National Reemployment Service, and first Director of the North Carolina State Employment Service.

Frances Vaughan Faglie spent nine months of the last twelve on volunteer assignments, in accordance with her adopted plan of living. She went back into Mexico for five months, where she again translated from Spanish into English the letters written by Mexican children to their American sponsors. These children are Salvation Army proteges and are supported by the ChrisNext, she went tian Childrens' Fund .... to the Layman's Overseas Service, Inc. (LAOS), Jackson, Mississippi. This organization recruits volunteer laymen for assistance to mission agencies around the world.

After two months' work with LAOS, she took a personal travelling vacation through New England, the New York Finger Lakes region, and Brown Colony State Park of Indiana; then returned to LAOS to complete the year. . . . The month of January she always devotes to X-rays and physical fitness tests ... She will soon be on another volunteer assignment, at Buckham, Kentucky, in a children's Welfare Center. 'Tm real excited," says Frances. "The appeal of the Appalachian area has been tugging at me for some time. The work (secretarial), the remote location, the mountains, and the contacts I know will be challenging."

Katharine Spicer Edmonds has sent the name of another classmate who unfortunately has not been on our list: Irene Summers Stoneman (Mrs. Wilmer N., Varinaon-the-James, Richmond 23231). We'll hope for news from her. ... The Edmonds, who have travelled extensively, are packing for trip to the deep a several-times-deferred New Orleans, Mobile, Natchez, South-to Atlanta. The postponements date back to

24

Katharine's pre-marriage days, by U. of R Library demands; more recently by hospital emergency, and the marriage of a son ....

Katharine has a very special message for each of us: "The death of two members of my family just six months apart has made me more and more interested in and memories what to hand down-records the next generation, as well as things-to and the next. . . . When you are the only one who knows some things and wish you had asked some questions that will never be answered, now is the time to record."

I was recently in Richmond visiting Leslie Booker and had a wonderful time seeing old college friends and visiting the campus.

As Hannah Coker's guest, I attended Dorothy Stickney's program on Edna St. Vincent Millay, followed by a party at the Dean's house. It was great to be back.

We extend sympathy to Narcissa Daniel Hargroves, Philadelphia, on the loss of her distinguished brother, Dr. Donald Snead Daniel, Sr. Dr. Daniel was a surgeon at Johnston-Willis Hospital, Richmond, from 1929 until 1965, and President until 1967.

He had held many positions of honor in medical circles.

To Irene Stoneman we extend our sympathy on the loss of her little seven-year-old grandson in a tragic accident on Christmas Eve. This child was the son of Irene's daughter, Mrs. Richard Ellis IV, Mt. Rush Farm, Buckingham.

Mary Rilee Wright's daughter, Doris, was married to Mr. Ronald Steve Lee, Saturday, March 1, in Washington, D. C. They will live in Falls Church.

Leslie Booker, although retired, is still going a mile-a-minute and enjoying every moment. She has increased her church and club duties, travels a lot with Book as he goes about his State Bar duties, enter tains a lot (including me), and is enjoying life to the fullest. She is expecting her English friends in May. Leslie shows them Virginia from end to end, so we shall see them and Leslie when in our area.

Irene Stoneman is still the gracious hostess at her home, Varina-on-the-James.

Leslie, Ruth Tyree, and I spent the day with her rec en ti y.

I had a very pleasant two weeks on the Virginia Cruise this January 15-31. We sailed out of Norfolk on the Nieu Amsterdam for the Caribbean with stops at Jamaica, Panama, St. Thomas, St. Cro ·ix, San Blas, and Aruba.

Please answer those letters that have gone out, reminding you that it's time for your contribution to our alumnae fund.

We're waiting; we're hoping.

Two nice letters from Margaret Fugate Carlton brought news of several classmates and plans for our 45th reunion.

We're to have our dinner Friday, May 16th in the tea room of Keller Hall with punch in the garden before dinner.

Hazel Paris Cederborg and her husband, Emil, have been invited and we hope they can come as they added so much to our

40th reunion. Hazel has retired from teaching and Emil from Marshall Field's, so they both have a wonderful time traveling.

They called us the first of February for a telephone chat. Hazel had sold her fourth article to Yankee magazine and felt like splurging. They're taking a fabulous trip to the Southwest in March. Hazel had just had a long letter from Mabel Anderson who retired in June and has been traveling ever since. In the fall she went to Colorado, the Grand Canyon, and California. At Thanksgiving she visited friends in upper New York near the Canadian border. They had meals at the Lodge where a roaring fire and hunters in their red coats singing around the piano presented a Swiss Alpine atmosphere. During the Christmas holidays Mabel went to New York and saw MAME, CABARET, and Metropolitan Opera.

Margaret sent a letter from Eva Sanders who retired from the Foreign Mission Board last November after many years in Africa.

Eva traveled 16,000 miles last year telling of her experiences. She still has her apartment at 2415 Broadway Ave., Roanoke, Va. 24014.

Margaret Carlton says she and her husband, Graham, celebrated Christmas with Hong Kong flu. They are delighted to have their son, his wife and year old daughter living in Richmond now. Their three other grandchildren live in St. Louis.

Inez Dejarnette Hite is fortunate to have both her married daughters living in Richmond where Inez and Oscar can enjoy their grandsons, Allen Lee Waters, age 2, and Jay Watson Howe, age 1.

Mary Peple and Wilhelmina Wright are enjoying their retirement.

Hilda Booth Beale has moved to Keswick Garden Apartments, 5222 Wythe Avenue.

Joanna Savage Ellett and Vernon moved back to Richmond after his retirement.

Joanna is archivist for the Westhampton Alumnae Association which gives her a seat on the Board. Their daughter was married last June and is living in Buffalo.

Their four children were quite excited at being on color TV in their own home. Mildred and her husband live in Connecticut with their two sons.

A New Year's letter from Agnes Jones tells of visiting her sister, Helen, in Asheville, N.

As the result of my writing a Christmas note to Mary Glenn Waller Lacy, I learned through her daughter, Evelyn Lacy Noland, that her mother passed away March 4, 1968.

Evelyn said that her mother was ill about two months, and she regretted that she had not sent the news about her mother's death. She said that she and her husband and two children are living with her father on the farm. We extend our sympathy to Mary Glenn's family.

I called Sallie Childrey Reed for news and learned that she was still teaching Bible in several areas. She said that she had been doing this for sometime now and had found it rewarding.

Mary Fugate, Dean of Averett College, Danville and a member of the class of 1922, sent me news about Connie and Helen Christopoulos. Helen Christopoulos Thomas and her husband, King Thomas, live at 1932 Horseshoe Bend, Virginia Beach, Virginia, 23455. They also have an apartment in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and go back and forth quite often. Connie, who is Mrs. Nicholas J. Georges and now a widow, lives in the Towers, Apt. 1705-E, 330 W.

To celebrate my first year of freedom from teaching, I spent October in Georgia visiting friends and relatives, and sightseeing.

Do wish the vast majority of you about whom we never get news would write me what you and your families are up to since last we heard from you. If you find it too difficult to write, meet me at college,

In February Maude Everhart Tremper and Tremp stopped off briefly in Atlanta on their way to Florida. What a happy surprise to have a visit from them and you can imagine how our tongues flew!

I understand that Dorothy Knibb spent a month in Richmond recently visiting old friends .

Our deepest sympathy goes to Jean Wright Woodfin who recently lost her husband.

Onr Class Secretary, Betty Sherman Cale, wrote in the winter issue of the Alumni Bulletin that she and her husband would be leaving the country shortly. Their plans worked out and early in January she and Ed left for Accra , Ghana. For the next eighteen months, Ed will be working with a consulting firm as an economist. Betty has asked me to take over her Secretary's job during her absence .

She writes colorfully about the people and shops of Accra. Perhaps by the time she returns, she will have gathered material for a talk on The New Woman of Africa .

It should be as enlightening and entertaining as her talk at our May '68 Reunion.

A note from Frances Anderson Stallard mentioned that she and her husband expected to leave about mid-January for two months in Mexico. She also wrote that she and her sister, Mildred Williams, had driven over to the Goochland home of Ted and Leslie Jones. Their place is a few miles across the river in Powhatan county.

I learned recently that Ted is teaching in a high school near their place.

I talked with "Tom" Rudd recently and picked up a few items of interest to all her friends . We of the class of '28 feel that she partly belongs to us even though she dropped out of college for a year and graduated with the class of '29. Her book on Gabriela Mistral, published by the University of Alabama Press , will come out some time this year. As Dr. Margaret Thomas Rudd, her name will appear in the 1969 edition of Dictionary of American

Mary Billings has retired from teaching and is living in Alexandria where she has been teaching ever since graduation.

Mary Anne Hall Anderson moved in January from Annandale, Virginia, to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Our number of future coeds is increasing!

Geneva Bennett Snelling has a granddaughter. Other news about Geneva is not so pleasant, however. One early evening recently, getting into her car just off Cary Street (shopping district), she was attacked, thrown against the car steering wheel and her pocketbook was snatched. We are thankful she was not injured to an extent greater than bruises, being "shaken up", and loss of money, keys, identification, etc., which is bad enough!

We rejoice with Helen Pollard Deck on her son's safe return from Vietnam. He completed three years in the Army. He was stationed in Germany and then volunteered for service in Vietnam. His was the first unit to make the trip from the airport to his base, which had been under heavy fire from the enemy for about two weeks during a TET offensive.

Mary Hodnett Mathews' son, Emmett, Jr. is interning at MCV. Her daughter, Sara, is teaching at Bon Air Elementary School.

A wonderful newsy letter from Cappy (Elizabeth Capitaine Beaty) was received just too late to be included in the last Alumni Bulletin (due to your secretary's illness with the flu). The twins graduated from the University of Arkansas with honors. Carolyn is taking her internship in nutrition at the Colorado State Hospital at Pueblo, Colorado.

She also wrote: "Virginia had the offer of fellowships for graduate study, as well as a Fulbright to Spain (which at one time she would have loved, but there was a young man who changed her feelings about that). She and a friend she's had since we've been here, both chose the University of Ky., at Lexington, and were going, with Joane's father driving, to find quarters for this winter. This was in August. Some poor old man pulled out in front of them in Missouri and there was a dreadful accident.

Virginia was most seriously hurt in their car, with internal injuries. We got word, and had to wait it out until the operation was over and then talked with the surgeon. He said she had been badly hurt, but the operation had gone well and it would just take time to recover. Frank and I drove through the night to Sikeston, Mo., and several days later Joane and her father were able to return home and came with Frank. I stayed there until the tubes (except drainage tube) could be removed and we returned by flying ambulance to put her in the hospital here. During that time her fiance, who is in Navy Flight Training at Pensacola, came to see her, and they decided, since Virginia couldn't attend school this year, to get married December 27, which is a between-training period for year Mondella, our almost-17 him .... old, isn't much of a student, but she does enjoy living."

We have an outstanding group of class agents working in behalf of the Alumnae Fund, and I believe that the results of their efforts will be even better than the excellent record of our class last year. Won't you help to increase our percentage of contributors?

Sue Cook McClure Jones has been most cooperative in helping to locate members of our class, even enlisting the help of her children in out-of -the-way places. Sue

Cook's son, Gifford, is home from his wanderings (he spent seven months in Africa flying for a small Belgian-owned airline) and is completing a training period at World Airways. He was to start flying as co-pilot on their big 707 jets soon after the first of the year. His employer is the world's largest charter airline. Allen was married in September to a Santa Barbara girl who is also a senior at the University. He expects to do graduate work in biology after graduation next summer.

Sue Whittet Wilson's son's work in the State Department is related to airlines also.

Sue and I enjoyed attending the Alumnae Fund Workshop at Westhampton.

Dot Chewning received a Marlboro award for her contribution to sports, particularly tennis. Dot has been active in arranging for international tennis players to partici pate in exhibition matches in Richmond.

Estelle Veazey Jones is home in California after several months' travel in Europe while Don was working on a Julie Andrews' film.

Both Lottie Britt Callis and her daughter, Pat, are members of the Thomas Jefferson High School faculty. Lottie and Jimmy are building a house near Glen Allen.

Mary Pat Early Love spent several weeks in Kentucky while Arthur was on the tobacco market.

Bev Bates was at the Fine Arts Building to see Dorothy Stickney and to hear her readings from Edna St. Vincent Millay's letters and poems.

Rhea Talley Stewart wrote from her home in Connecticut that she has an enormous microfilm reader on her desk (the kind used in libraries). She is using it in reading all the microfilm she has from England for the book on which she is working.

Cheryl Pierce is teaching this year at the University of Miami at Coral Gables while one of the professors is on leave. Cheryl teaches a class in the history of dramatic art and costume design and making and has received raves in the Miami papers for her magnificent costumes. Lola and Glenn share their daughter's interest in the theatre and attend all of the plays at the Virginia Museum Theatre.

My letter to Jackie Lowe Rosendahl was returned "Not at this address." Does anyone know her correct address?

Mr. J. F. Peyronnet (Marion Miller) 1807 Aisquith Road Richmond, Virginia 23229

News has been scarce recently, but the recent alumnae fund drive has brought two letters. Jane Carroll Slusser has been busy visiting her sons. Bill was in San Diego prior to being stationed in Viet Nam. He is stationed on the attack carrier, the U. S. S. Okinawa. Son, Jim, is in the air force. He is pilot for the air transport jets.

Jane is busy too, as a teacher. She is taking courses to further her knowledge and techniques.

It was good to hear from Ruth Stephenson Edwards. Ruth has two graduations to look forward to this June. Steve is a candidate for graduation from the U. S. Naval Academy, and David from the Dental

School of the Medical College of Virginia.

My June will be busy too. Carolyn, my eldest, graduates from William and Mary on the ninth of June and will be married on the 22nd. Her fiance, Mervin Timberlake, will graduate from the University of Richmond this June, too.

What's happening in your family? Let me include it in our next Bulletin .

Mrs. A. L. Jacobs (Anne Scott Campbell) 203 Santa Clara Drive Richmond, Virginia 23229

Dot Shell Wood writes for this issue: Our reunion year is here again! Make plans now to join your classmates for a big weekend. Please be on the look-out for the letter from your committee headed by Scotty Campbell Jacobs, Charlotte Saxe Schrieberg and Dot Shell Wood-and let us hear from you .

Mrs. Frederick Jurgens, Jr. (Maude Smith) 2435 Buford Road Bon Air, Virginia 23235

It was nice hearing from so many of you on your Christmas cards. I was reminded

by Ginny McLarin Tate that their son, Jimmy, will be ready for college next fall.

It seems no time since we first saw him as a sturdy little fellow of two. Kathy will be entering high school.

Ethel Harrington enclosed with her Xmas note a copy of a letter Tor had sent them from Vietnam where he is flight leader of a helicopter squadron . It was a grim reminder of how close the war is to all our children . Since then he hasn't been flying so much, as he is operations officer of his company. Tara will be graduating from Vassar in June and plans to be married a week later. I foresee a busy summer for the Harringtons.

Marge Reed said things were going along well for the family with lots of church activity keeping them busy and Jack joining the shrine . The boys are 13 and 15 and getting along well in school. Marge would like to have visits from anyone going to the Washington area as they are not far outside , almost in the shadow of Mt. Vernon.

Last fall when I visited my mother in Florida, I neglected to mention having a nice luncheon with Mildred Talton who looks wonderful and is busy as ever. Three children are away at college . Cathy is doing graduate work at Seminary , while Jamie and the older son, Ty, are both at Furman. That leaves David still in high school and Betty

in 9th grade. As most of you know , even though the family is away at school, the preparation of clothes and transportation keeps one quite busy and the weekends when they are at home with guests more than makes up for the times that seem a bit quiet.

Several months ago the Sunday paper carried an article about a very glamorous looking kitchen belonging to Doris Kibler.

The photos were so interesting that I've been wanting to ask to see it.

Not long after that Janet Manson and I met and she told me about her daughter who was to have her tonsils out. Having escaped this procedure as a youngster, it had caught up with her.

Fred and l attended the Evening of Music at the new Fine Arts Building and were very pleased with both the playing of Dr. John McKay and the building itself . It was our first opportunity to get over there and it was wonderful to see what AlumniAlumnae efforts have accomplished. I have neglected my phoning this time. Things have been fairly busy with work , church activities and caring for our injured beagle who was hit by a car. He survived thanks to the veterinary's good work but has required as much care as a child as his broken bones mended.

Mrs. s. G. Hardy (Gladys Epes) 110 High Street Blackstone, Virginia 23824

We congratulate sons of two of our classmates for their outstanding performances in college football this past season.

The Richmond News-Leader published a picture and article about Margaret Brittingham Curtice 's husband and son in the fall.

Her husband, "Cactus Jack" Curtice, having coached at Texas Western , Utah , & Stanford is now football coach and athletic director at University of California at Santa Barbara. Their son, Jim, a 5-foot-10, 180pound junior, rejected offers to play at Oregon and Utah, and is now playing quarterback for UCSB. He led him team out of a two-game slump to win four straight while piloting an offensive machine which rolled to 26 touchdowns and 185 points.

Betty Riley Johnson and her husband watched their son, Tom, one of the tricaptains of the University of Richmond football team , play quarterback in the Tangerine Bowl game in Florida this winter.

Tom graduates in June . He is married, and his wife works in the Chemistry department. Betty 's younger son, Rob, is a sophomore at Lenoir-Rhyne College in Hickory , North Carolina . Her youngest child , Judy, is in the tenth grade in high school. Betty teaches first grade in one of the public schools in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Henrietta Sadler Kinman's daughter, Ann, will enter Converse College in South Carolina next fall as a freshman.

Anna Marie Rue Stringfellow 's younger daughter, Patty , has been accepted at Westhampton under early decision. Charlene, her older daughter, is going to be in the May Court at Westhampton this spring and will graduate in June .

Rue had an interesting letter from Edie

Burfoot Lovig . Larry is out of the Navy and is a management consult ant. Edie 's youngest son is at University of Virgini a, and her oldest is attending Harvard Business School as a submariner. He graduated from the Naval Academy several years ago and was number two in his class. He is married and has a daughter, so Edie is a grandmother .

Betsy Woodson Weaver has a story entitled "Huguenot Springs " publi shed in the winter Virg inia Cavalcade . Her story on the school children entering her garden club show will be in the April Instructor , a teachers' magazine .

Mildred Howerton Jones is occupied with hospital Junior Board work and duplicate bridge in Wilmington , Delaware . Her husband, Casey, is now on the board of Directors of Hercules, Inc. Their daughter , Susan, is working with computers in a bank in Nash ville, Tennessee. Their son , Steve, is applying to colleges.

Margaret Purcell Spindler's son , Yes , is a speech and drama major at Michigan State . Her husband has given her an organ which they are all having fun playing . She hopes to visit Virginia Beach this summ er.

Our thanks go to the following class agents who have written letters in the current fund-drive: Kay Leviston Krug , Anna Marie Rue Stringfellow , Betty Riley Johnson , Henrietta Sadler Kinman, Margaret Purcell Spindler, Betsy Woodson Weaver, Betty Acker Gillespie, Margaret Brittingham Curtice, Ann Woodward Courtney , & Elizabeth Holden Slipek . Henrietta , "Its", Betty , Rue, and I attended the Alumn ae Fund Workshop and luncheon in February .

Mrs. H. Clayton Daniel (Evermond Hardee) 104 Forest Hills Drive Monroe, North Carolina 28110

I may beat the whole bunch of you at reunion. I have a wealth of material for this last letter after a long drought. Why did you wait so long?

A grand ten page letter from Barbara (Gray) Clayton brings our first news in many years of her family. Her daughter, Holly, was accepted on the early decision plan at Westhampton for 1969-70. She and her sister, Ann, age 15, are both theatre buffs and Barbara says our old textbook Modern Theatre Practice is getting positively dog-eared. Holly is president of Liberty High 's troop of the National Thespian Society and Ann is a member.

Holly spends her time in all phases of backstage work and has worked out a puppet theatre which she and her cousin use to give Hansel and Gretel free of charge to community groups. Husband , Dave , is a systems analyst with Bethlehem Steel Corporation. The Claytons have bought property on the Outer Banks of North Carolina at Nags Head and plan to retire there, as Barbara says, "when the children have a bit more school under their belts". She says she talked the family into a vacation there some years ago and has never been able to pry them away since. They have been on the Banks in all kinds of weather, "a northand countless small hurricane it is not just the glow of easterners"-so vacation time that lures them there. They have not yet built their home, but Dave has it designed and they hope to start before too long. Barbara does not feel she will be able to get to the reunion, but has not given up hope. I'll bring her letter as I don't want you to miss any of it.

By now you all have your letters from Billy Jane and know the reunion plans.

Those of you who cannot come would be helpful to your next secretary and to this Richmond group if you would send $1.00 for postage and the scrapbook . There is some money left from the last reunion which will help some. I'm glad to say the Richmond girls are having the dinner catered so we won't be such a burden on them this time. Thanks for your work in planning, ladies!

Anne (Green) Sheaffer wrote me from Florida th at she and Walt had arrived there

28

on February 24th and she was writing Alumnae Fund letters between golf games.

Her oldest, Garland, has graduated from Northwestern and is working in Chicago.

Leslie is also there taking a secretarial course, Craig is at Culver and Libby is a ninth grader and at home. It was good to have news of Anne again.

Gloria (Tyler) Robertson is in an advanced graduate program at William and Mary and says she enjoys it in spite of the traveling. She has given up her job as school Public psychologist for the Portsmouth Schools. Robin is now 14 and a freshman at Norfolk Academy. Her husband, Clayton, she says "continues with his three big inreal estate, and flying his terests-medicine, own Cherokee" .

I know you will join me in expressing sympathy to Dot (Monroe) Hill on the death of her father. Also, Stonie has been ill, but I have no details. We are thinking of you, Dot, during these trying times.

Bob Wolf retired from the Navy in October and is now with the Corvair Division of General Dynamics. Fran (Kennard) says they have bought a 25-foot sailboat that sleeps five and all are enjoying it. Tricia is in Chapman College in Orange, California. Babs is working and Kathy is a sailor, Girl Scout and pianist like her mother. It did my heart good to read Fran 's closing line-"Living is great".

"Cozy" will cut me off if I don't stop.

Will save the other news for the next secretary. Don't forget to send your contributions to the Alumnae Fund!

By way of Christmas cards and notes I've picked up a bit of news on us "forty-fivers".

Lottie Blanton Applewhite and husband , Warren, commute from their mountain home to Letterman General Hospital in San Francisco where Lottie is medical editor of the hospital's newspaper and teaches a course in medical terminology.

Trips since the last Bulletin include the Liz and Howard Cone's visit with Lillian and Mac Youell in San Juan, Betty and Ed Adair's winter vacation in Florida, and mine last week to Atlanta for a meeting with representatives of the Southern Regional Educational Board. Ellen Brooks Blackwell is in Petersburg while Roy "visits" Vietnam.

Reports of that "next generation" in college are David Yancy at V. P. I., Billy Blackwell at The Citadel and Lyn Paulson at Averett College. having reJane Bristow McDorman, cently attended an Alumnae Fund workshop, reports that the Class of '45 had the lowest percentage of class contributionsonly 28%. I support her plea that we should and can do better for we all realize the extent that private institutions depend on financial support from the alumni.

Mrs. E. T. Gray (Pamela Burnside) Waverly, Virginia 23890

We all extend our deepest sympathy to Betty Stansbury Lomax whose mother died in January. Betty has been in Richmond and during her stay lunched with Peggy Stone Cunningham and Johnnie Johnson Sandidge. Her husband, Bob, has recovered after a very serious automobile accident, and they have enlarged their house, so things in Salisbury are going well for them.

Peggy also reported that Johnnie worked

all last summer with the Poverty Program 's Summer Job Program and that Doris Vickers Lektorich wrote that last summer they visited , camped and went sightseeing in Utah . Doris has "only " six children at home now but I imagine that to the re st of us that sounds like a goodly number!

Now that my three are about to fly the coop I wish I'd had a few more.

This involved driving from San Jose to Norfolk up the Pan American Highway through Central America and Mexico into Texas and on to the east coast. The trip took two weeks each way and was extremely interesting. According to Cecily "the weeks at home were spent enjoying the good old USA for the first time in several years. It was nice seeing our families and friends. The supermarkets and stores looked beautiful after so long away." After this grand trip the Bergs are settled in for at least two more years in San Jose.

The final bit of news also came from outside the USA. Anne-Martin Baker wrote that she had moved and was now enjoying the opportunity of knowing the HeidelburgMannheim-Frankfort area of Germany. Her address is c / o International Standard Engineering, Inc., APO New York 09056. We look forward to hearing the details of her new job, new apartment, etc.

What's It All About?

Continued from page 5 I people, but of a sizable number of our population," asserted Dean Muse. We should not expect the police, he said, to have the sole responsibility for creating a peaceful environment.

The schools, churches, families, and private citizens are other agencies which influence individuals to refrain from disrupting the lives of others. The "most productive" means of reducing crime, he continued, are "improving methods of detection and apprehension of criminals . . . reducing opportunity to commit crime . . . and improving research into the causes and cures of crime."

"I disagree with almost everything that Dean Muse has said," began Mr. Marsh.

He continued by saying that he did not believe the answer to the crime problem lay in stronger law enforcement, but rather in the elimination of poverty and frustration of the people . "The law is maintaining the position of the wealthy and the powerful," he asserted, adding that the position of the Negro in our society is declining rather than improving, especially in the areas of income and housing. He suggested that a more ,enlightened citizenry is essential to solving many of our current problems.

In touching upon the student unrest today, he said the situation in Vietnam is chiefly responsible because "it represents the hypocrisy of the American government."

Dr. Sartain posed the following question: "Is there both good and bad disorder?"

Citing such examples as the American Revolution and the Civil War, he noted that disorder must be viewed from the standpoints of personal perspective and the consequences of the disorder, From an historical viewpoint, he explained, many actions that were considered "disorder" at the time have been ultimately considered good.

Often, however, Dr. Sartain said, disruptions that originate as protests over specific injustices may eventually result in "violence as an end in itself ." He suggested that some of the current student demonstrations may be the fault of college professors. "We encouraged them to think for themselves, to search for truth, and to question everything. We didn't expect them to take us seriously and to apply it outside of the classroom and we certainly didn't intend for them to apply this to the university itself."

Eisenhower-Freeman Friendship Recalled in Necrology

1907 A. Thornton Jones of Mayer, Arizona, died on January 20. He was 85.

Mr. Jones was water commissioner in administration of Kent Decree, Arizona, for the past 20 years.

He was a member of the varsity football team at Richmond College in 1907, and remained an enthusiastic supporter of Spider athletics. He was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon social fraternity.

He was foreman of a cattle ranch and had a small ranch of his own before op.ening an office as a public accountant. In 1935 he was made secretary-treasurer of the Buckeye Irrigation Company and became manager of the firm . He served in the Arizona State Legislature and was appointed water commissioner of Maricopa County in 1949.

1916 Louis C. Yancey of Big Stone Gap, Va., died Nov. 25. Mr. Yancy was a retired employee of Westmoreland Coal Company and had been a resident of Big Stone Gap since 1932. He was a member of the Board of Deacons of First Baptist Church and taught Sunday School there. He served overseas during World War I. He is survived by his wife, two brothers and a sister.

1918 The Reverend Jean Vache, Sr., of Richmond, and former rector of St. John's Episcopal Church in Farmville, died February 17 in Richmond.

Mr. Vache had been rector at the Farmville church from 1949 to 1961. He also served as chaplain for Episcopal students at Longwood and Hampden-Sydney colleges.

He graduated from Union Theological Seminary in 1918 and was ordained in 1928.

"THE STATE AND NATION CAN MAKE NO GREATER CONTRIBUTION than to provide education to the full capacity of the individual," General Dwight David Eisenhower said in accepting the LLD. degree from the University of Richmond. Seated behind him are Dr. Douglas S. Freeman and Colgate W. Darden, former Governor of Virginia.

The first man aboard the "I like Ike" bandwagon was the late great Douglas Southall Freeman , '04, editor of the Richmond N ews Leader, rector of the University of Richmond and as a profound student of the Civil War a lecturer at the War College in Washington.

When President Dwight David Eisenhower died on March 29, the close friendship between the two men was recalled.

Political writers remembered than on a visit to Richmond in 1952, Eisenhower, then campaigning for the presidency, said: "The first man in the United States who ever got me to think seriously about a possible political career was in 1947 when Dr. Douglas Freeman came to my office and earnestly urged that I go into politics."

The world mourned the death on March 29 of former President Dwight David Eisenhower , for millions knew him as a great military leader and statesman.

But few knew that Eisenhower credited the late Douglas Southall Freeman, '04, with influencing his entry into politics.

On a visit to Richmond in 1952 as a presidential candidate, Eisenhower said, "the first man in the United States who ever got me to think seriously about a possible political career was in 1947 when Dr. Douglas Freeman came to my office and earnestly urged that I go into politics."

Dr. Fr.eeman was editor of the Richmond New Leader and rector of the University 40

of Richmond Board of Trustees as well as a famous journalist and historian.

It was in his role as rector of the University 's board that Dr. Freeman was in Cannon Memorial Chapel on March 28, 1946, and delivered the address at a convocation at which General Eisenhower and Admiral Chester W. Nimitz received honorary Doctor of Laws degrees.

Dr. Freeman described Gen. Eisenhower's military career, particularly the then recent victory in Europe. In his discussion of the tactics, strategy, and other mechanics of war, Dr. Fr.eeman gave the credit for the victory to Eisenhower the man. "What may escape the historian is the spiritual discipline of the man, his steady and inflexible mastery of himself before he undertook to master either his own troops or the enemy."

Although this "aside" will not be found in the text of Dr. Freeman's remarks, hundreds who were present on that day will recall that he said "the University could not have selected two more handsome men.

General Eisenhower blushed, a sunset red that spread from his neck to his balding head. The audience roared and then broke into prolonged applause.

Dr. Freeman liv.ed to see the Eisenhower bandwagon cross the finish line a winner.

He died just four months after Ike's inauguration as the 34th president of the United States.

1919 The Reverend H. Pierce Simpson of Carmel, N. Y., died December 8 at Castle Point (N. Y.) Veterans Hospital. He was 73.

Mr. Simpson was graduated from Princeton Theological Seminary and was pastor of the Baptist church in Townsend, Vt., for two years and pastor of the New Monmouth Baptist Church at Monmouth, N. J. before being appointed pastor of the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church in Carmel, N. Y., in 1930.

He served the Carmel church until 1959, when he became pastor of Croton Falls Baptist Church. He was chairman of the advisory board of the Putnam County (N. Y.) Selective Service Board for 23 years and had been appointed last year as director of the Putnam Offic.e of the Aging.

Survivors include his wife, two sons nd a daughter.

Harris B. Winfrey, a retired school teacher and principal, died January 21 at Culpeper Memorial Hospital. He was 71.

Mr. Winfrey taught two years in Culpeper County schools, taught and served as high school principal of Rappahannock County High School for 45 years until his retirement in 1966. He was a member of Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church, Sperryville, and Fairfax Masonic Lodge in Culpeper. Survivors include his wife and three brothers.

1922 Dr. Edward W. Gray, a retired physician of Front Royal, died January 16 in Winchester, Va. Dr. Gray, 70, was a pathologist at Pilgrim State Hospital in Brentwood, N. Y., before his retir.ement in 1961.

He was a graduate of the Medical College of Virginia. Survivors include his wife, a sister and a brother.

1923 S. Henry Bennett of Atlanta, Ga., a retired Red Cross official, died December 1.

Mr. Bennett taught English in the E. C. Glass High School in Lynchburg from 1928 until 1943. He had served the American Red Cross for 25 years at the time of his retirement in February, 1968.

1924 John R. Chappell, Jr., a former president of the National Association of Mutual Insurance Agents and the owner of an insurance agency in Richmond, died December 27. He was 70.

He served as a director of Southern Bank and Trust Company and Peoples Finance Corporation. He was a member of Concord Methodist Church and was active in civic organizations.

YOUR CLASS,PLEASE For purposes of reunions, an alumnus often prefers to be considered a member of a class other than the one with which he was graduated.

This is particularly true of alumni whose education at the University of Richmond was interrupted by war.

Take for instance, alumni who entered Richmond College in 1938. Some received their degrees in 1942-par for the course. Some were in a hurry and birdied the academic course, finishing in 1941. Others went one over par and finished in 1943.

Still others-and there were many in this category-went off to war, and their graduation was postponed by a number of years.

Alumni who received degrees are considered members of the class with which they were graduated. Those who prefer to be counted as members of some other class, usually the class with which they entered, should notify the alumni office of their preference. For class reunions, Alumni Fund solicitations and other occasions when the alumni roll is called by classes, these alumni will be considered members of the class of their preference.

Alumni who did not receive degrees will be considered members of the class with which they entered as freshmen.

Dr. T. S. Berry Analyses GrossNational Product A Review by Herman

P. Thomas

Estimated Annual Variations in Gross National Product , 1789-1909 , by Thomas Senior Berry, Ph .D., The Bostick Press , University of Richmond , 1968. 47 pp.

Once in awhile a person becomes involved in some project clearly beyond his remotest expectations. This penetrating analysis of the gross national product pattern from 1789 to 1909 is a case in point.

The writer of this monograph, who is well-known to many of our alumni as a distinguished member of our Business School faculty, confesses that until a short while ago he "never expected to become involved in making estimates running into billions of dollars , and held all such estimators in considerable awe." But he was intrigued by the idea that the figures showing a national economic pattern between 1784 and 1861 might indicate a "defin ite sequence of intermediate cycles and economic tides."

He uses the gross national product-the nation's total production of goods and services valued in terms of the market prices of the goods and services produced-as the criterion for his investigation.

He writes "The derivation of approximate annual gross national production ... from a consensus pattern of American time series . . . is the chief objective of this analysis."

Since 1909 much research has been done in this field and an increasing amount of statis tical data is available, but those for the annual output of goods and services in the country prior to 1909 are very sparse because figures on many industries were not kept. So the behavior and magnitude of GNP during the first century and a quarter is one of the "empty boxes" this author sets out to fill at least partially, and since there are pretty good statistics available following 1968, his problem was to find and analyze data prior to that date.

His method was to examine the data since 1909 and obtain a consensus pattern and to project this over the prior period to obtain a cons.ensus pattern for that period, and thereby measure as accurately as possible the percentage change in the general activity of the economy from one year to the next.

There seems to be a correlation close enough to challenge further research into the period.

He concludes that the historical behavior of GNP in that period appears to follow the same general course as the consensus patterns upon which the estimates are largely based. To the economist his goal and "pos tulates" are pretty clear but it is his methodology and statistical appendix which causes one to "jump the track. " While this writing can be fully understood only by those "scholars in the know," further data must be presented for those "neop hytes" not versed in the mysteries of advanced mathematics. Second , it throws some light for the average student of economic history upon a period almost heretofore completely dark. Third, it reflects the many long hours of tedious research and writing to which scholars burning with a desire to make a contribution must sub ject themselves. And fourth, it publicizes The Bostwick Press, an independent organization which , the author hopes , may publish in the future other pieces of research by faculty members.

IN LOCO AVUNCULI Continued from page 4 I you that I am studying at Oxford with the greatest diligence, but the matter of money stands greatly in the way of my promotion, as it is now two months since I spent the last of what you sent me.

and of their diversity, but I can assure you that you have a goodly heritage.

At this moment I want to try to describe for you something that is nev,er written down. At least I hav,e never seen it written down. And with all the resources of the dictionary I know that I shall fail to do this particular theme justice. But I must make the attempt. And my task will be just a bit easier, for each of you has, at times if not characteristically, caught a glimpse of the thing, or ,experienced the mood, which I am attempting to summarize.

There is a certain joy, a peculiar satisfaction in being set apart as a student, not yet charged with the full economic and legal responsibilities of this world, and an elevation in seeking and in finding the companionship of cheerful fellows in a similar spring-time of life. The world, for a season at least, wears a glory. Muscles are flexed and minds expanded as the young man rejoices as though to run a race.

There is a mountainous mood in this good company, which even the dean and the prof (both four-letter words you know) can't qui~e beat down even if they wanted to, which of course they don't. There is a charm to this anteroom of adulthood sometimes seen more clearly in retrospect than at the moment.

Surely you must participate in the world around you. You must become involv,ed in the right way. But do not surrender too soon some of the advantages earned for you over the past several centuries by your academic ancestors. If for no other reason than enlightened self-interest you should try to preserve for yourself a special position and tolerance which society has granted to its students with their sophomoric foibles.

Now everybody knows that the concept of in loco parentis pretty well disapp ,eared from the typical college campus with the coming of the internal combustion engine.

(Parenthetically I might observe that in a for the literal sense in loco parentis-acting mean little anyway, if parparents-would ents are as permissive as popular belief has here I return to it.) May I suggest-and there might be a place for my title-that a substitute phrase in the American colleges today. Remember that in some primitive societies the uncle was given a distinctive role in supervising the movement from childhood, through adolescence, and into manhood. Presumably he was more relaxed than the father, could be more good humored, and the boy accepted advice from him better than from his parents.

Thus, as a trial idea, I say that if the flag of in loco parentis has been hauled down maybe a banner flying the words in loco avunculi might be raised to the advantage of all parties. Perhaps an uncle can do what a father can't nowadays.

I said that I would offer a few words of congratulations, and I do. Now time and circumstances do not admit of particular words and descriptions on my part, but I want to tell you that both you and I are fortunate to be involved in a special category of educational institutions, and there are still several over the land: I mean the small university, with a liberal arts core based on the teaching concept, privately supported, and unashamedly acknowledging that there is a human spirit which needs nurture. Frankly I like the classes of such a size that a student isn't simply a fuzzy face on the 28th row. Please do not take my ideas out of context. We simply couldn't exist as a nation without those great state institutions, but a dual pattern-private

most important for conand public-is tinued academic freedom.

By the way, you mustn't be at all surprised if from time to time a church-related college is in the middle of controversy. It is the natural target of the ultra-secularist on the left and the ultra-fundamentalist on the right. To its critics the honest denominational institution can only reply that it is neither country club nor camp meeting, but a college.

Institutions of this type represent a voluntary sacrifice from many generations of devoted laborers. I personally am made a bit more humble when I think of the sacrifices of some of those worn-out old preachers and of those professors of yesterday, who made bricks without straw.

We have not only a special kind of institution, but in a special kind of place.

There are some legacies in Virginia which we would like to sweep under the rug. But there are also magnificent traditions which should be preserved. Responsible leadership out of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, a continuing nobless oblige concept, a decency of manners, these might well be acknowledged and continued.

And here I come to the didactic. But first I must tell you about Good Old Mabel in the mountains of southwest Virginia.

The rural mail carrier hadn't seen her for several days, and though she was snaggle-toothed, unkempt, and somewhat overstuffed with snuff, the mail carrier found her interesting. He asked about Good Old Mabel and Mabel's pa answered the inquiry by saying, "She 's gone to Charlottesville to the University of Virginia." Now the mail man had heard that the University of Virginia was going co-ed, but he just couldn't quite believe that Good Old Mabel had made it. He played for time by asking what she was studying there. The answer came from pa. "She ain't studying nothing; they're studying her!"

Analysis is indeed the theme nowadays.

We are all studying each other and examining all the institutions. Everything and everybody is on a couch. Even the Commonwealth of Virginia, which went through a long period of somewhat complacent self.esteem, is looking at itself politically in a most amazing way, and admitting past deficiencies. Witness the honest spade-work by our alumnus Dick Howard and others in preparation for the current special meeting of the General Assembly. Complacency is a dangerous thing, but may I make a couple of tentative observations about the educational scene?

Sometimes we get the wrong impression from reading newspapers and from looking at television. This springs from our tendency to accept the exceptional as the ordinary.

It is our fault that we don't tell ourselves daily that journalism by its nature doesn't report the typical. The typical American student is indeed a very decent guy. I won't elaborate the point so very obvious to us here.

I shall make no more than passing reference to the tragic story of violence on several campuses throughout the nation. I do state that this is worse than a crime; it is a mistake, in the long run self-defeating and suicidal.

In North Carolina folklore there is the character Jesse Holmes, the Fool Killer.

Old folks in admonition used to say, "Look out for Jesse Holmes!" I'm afraid that Jesse has some calls to make here and there, but, as I have said, based on my experience with many institutions and with several thousand students, ninety-eight percent of the

men and women in college are basically good citizens.

Old folks in admonition used to say, "Look out for Jesse Holmes!" I'm afraid that Jesse has some calls to make here and there, but, as I have said, based on my experience with many institutions and with several thousand students, ninety-eight percent of the

men and women in college are basically good citizens.

Some years ago there was a mine accident in Canada. There were twenty trapped miners plus a doctor who earlier had gone down into the shafts to aid an injured man .

The air was thickening but the telephone was still working, and a brief conversation was permitted each man with someone waiting outside the mine. I remember the news story of the conversation the doctor had with his wife, thanking her for a happy life and giving a few instructions to his sons. His words were simple but eloquent.

(I might add that the men were eventually rescued) .

Without trying to seem dramatic I say this is the last time I'll ever talk to most of you. It is just possible that in more than half a century on colleges' campuses (you must remember that I was born on a college campus) I might have come across a few ideas which may be of benefit to those who are to be around here for several years longer, this not because of any triumphs but because I probably have made more mistakes than most, and learned from them . Anyway, I'll try. Of course they're rank platitudes, and are of varying certainty. ( 1) Don't let your sense of humor leave you. I report an actual happening in Ryland Hall. In trying to picture the background of the Monroe Doctrine, I underscored the rascality of Ferdinand VII of Spain. Confident that I had received the attention of the class, I asked on the next test, "Who was Ferdinand VH?" A bright sophomore wrote, "Frankly, professor, I never heard of him. But then," he added tolerantly, "let's be fair about this thing .

Maybe he never heard of me!" Surely comedy is no substitute for scholarship, and bluebooks are not joke books, but even in the heart of academe you must not take life (or yourself) too seriously.

(2) Under the head of mechanics : Plan ahead. Take the long view. It is enlightened self-interest to sacrifice a bit today for the larger benefit tomorrow. Short cuts don't work very well in the academic world .

Study is hard work. Despite advertisements , you can't have instant education .

(3) Never succumb to the doctrine that it isn't what you know, but whom you know . I mean that this is still the land of opp_ortunity. The new technology and big busmess haven 't diminished the opportunity for decision-making jobs, but have enlarged this area. Man can break away from a restraining environment; especially is this true for those of you before me. ( 4) If by some forcing process you must assume responsibility beyond your years, seek compensation from vicarious experience. Books are there. ( 5) Older people are sometimes more timid than you ar.e about building bridges between the generations. Take a chance and make friends with older people . ( 6) When impatient with present routines within which I operate, I have discovered on reflection that there is much more leaway than appears at first glance. For example, I don't have to wait for restructuring of a curriculum to develop an interdisciplinary approach. If ther ,e is anything certain it is that the professor has flexibility in his classroom. I may b.e lazy, I may be unimaginative , but I am hardly restrained.

This may be true elsewhere in the academic

community. In other words, much improvement depends neither exclusively nor even principally on institutional reform , but on the spirit of the individual. Therefore use your imagination.

(7) When you go in for reform-and we needs lots of reform-start with the nearest thing at hand, yourself. Your example of justice and righteousness might do more than arguments. ( 8) There is nothing wrong with the middle way-properly interpreted . It is not very dramatic , maybe not very interesting.
