The research he began at Harvard and continued at the University of Richmond whenever he could work it into his busy schedule, he plans to pick up again. In Maryland Hall, which was his home away from home during the 28 years he was associated with the Biology Department, 15 of them as chairman, he will resume his study of slime molds and fungi.

Although Bob Smart insists they are "beautiful," most laymen would find slime molds repulsive and would recall Coleridge's "slimy things that crawl with legs upon the slimy sea." Chunks of protoplasm, these primitive organisms are both animal and vegetable and vary in size from microscopic to large enough to fill a quart jar. From his study of these slime molds (myxomycetes) he expects to learn new truths about the reaction of protoplasm to environmental factors and to publish these findings in scientific journals.

The country boy from Mississippi and Arkansas ha_s come a long way but he has never lost his love of the soil, his appreciation of the wonder and beauty of nature and his reverence for nature's God. Vividly he recalls his boyhood in Tyro, a sleepy country village, three stores ( one of them operated by his father), a Methodist Church and a Baptist Church. His mother was a Baptist, his father a staunch Methodist. Young Robert went to Baptist Sunday School in the morning, Methodist Sunday School in the afternoon.

Then came the boll weevil, leaving behind famine and destitution in the once lush land and toppling King Cotton from his throne. Bob Smart recalls the rush of families out of the stricken areas.

Scores of wagons passed through Tyro,

Smart Retires After 43 Years

bound for the promised land of Arkansas. He remembers that one of the wagons bore a banner with this legend: "Alabama Busted, Mississippi Disgusted, Arkansas Bound."

Before long the Smarts joined the exodus . They settled in Blytheville, Arkansas, a town of some 9,000 persons, located four miles south of Missouri, eight miles west of the Mississippi River and some 70 miles north of Memphis.

They moved into a big frame house on Main Street. Bob entered the sixth grade, meanwhile becoming interested one morning in a brown haired girl skating on the sidewalk in front of her home on the opposite side of the street. Concrete sidewalks had not reached Tyro and consequently young Robert had never had the opportunity to roller skate.

And here was a mere slip of a girl gliding with skill and grace before his eyes. He learned to skate and, in time, he fell in love with the brown-haired girl.

They were graduated in the same class at Blytheville High School in 1923. Then Bob went off to Mississippi College and later to Harvard; Eleanor Ferguson went off to the University of Kansas and later Southwestern at Memphis. They were married in 1929, just one month before Bob began his teaching career at the University of Richmond.

The Smarts who were two in 1929 are now eleven, including a son, Robert Ferguson: a daughter, Eleanor Tucker ( Mrs. James McC . Paxton); and seven grandchildren. Although the birds have left the nest, for all of them home will always be that delightful rambling clapboard house on University Drive into which the Smarts moved in 1939.

Dr. Smart's career at the University of Richmond has continued without interruption with the exception of his return to Harvard to complete his residency for the Ph.D. degree which he received in 1935.

It was a career that was marked by outstanding achievement in his field and by outstanding contributions in public service. His honors have included the

presidency of the Virginia Academy of Science and membership in the Botanical Society of America and the Mycological Society of America. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Perhaps his most conspicuous public service was as a member and for six years chairman of the Henrico County School Board , a post in which he succeeded the late Raymond B. Pinchbeck , who was forced to retire when the City of Richmond annexed the part of Henrico County in which he lived. Appreciative citizens agree that Dr. Smart's contribution was outstanding and his leadership sound and progressive . Great building programs were launched, the curriculum was broadened, and teacher salaries were raised. During his 19 years on the Board, Henrico schools improved in quality to the extent that the Henrico school system probably would be among the half dozen leaders in Virginia. The esteem in which Dr. Smart was held by his colleagues throughout the State was reflected in his election as president of the Virginia School Board Association.

In other ways he served the community , as president of the Robert E. Lee Council, Boy Scouts of America, as president of the Westham Civic Association.

And great was his contribution to his church and the Baptist denomination. He served as deacon (several times chairman of the board), chairman of the finance committee and a member of the board of administration of River Road Baptist Church during a period of activity that included the erection of a Chapel, an Education Building, and a $1.7 million sanctuary. He has been active in the Virginia Baptist General Association and is a member of the board of Southeastern Baptist Seminary.

His greatest contribution, of course, has been to the University of Richmond and the thousands of students whose lives he touched. Claiborne Robins, renowned industrialist and University of Richmond benefactor, learned his first biology in the old frame building that served succes-

Perhaps the most difficult decision Although in addition to his duties as he has faced over a span of 67 years dean, he was saddled with the to academic asked was he when 1957 c:1me in of discipline, he as responsibility Pinchbeck further Ray succeed the beloved and fairly, fearlessly duties discharged his dean of Richmond College.

It was a difficult time to be dean of In 1967 the position of provost was were Students College.

Richmond and, of course, Dr. Smart was and established idol their of death stunned by the in this capacity. As proserve to asked some of them were prepared to resent any man who had the audacity to sit m vost he became the chief academic officer of the University. The deans of the seven "Neighbor" Pinchbeck 's chair in that

divisions , chairmen of University commillees , the University librarian, and the University physician were to report direct! y to him .

The need for a provost had become evident, to take some of the burden off the president . During the 21 years Dr. George M . Modlin had served as the University's chief executive officer, the institution had grown tremendously in size but no steps had been taken to give him administrative assistance. The Self Study Report of 1965 revealed that the president was performing "an almost incredible number of duties ." The Report listed 53 specific ones and added as number 54, "many other duties not specifically counted in the 53 items above."

As someone remarked at the time, the wond er was not that the President developed an ulcer, but that the number was limited to one.

Dr. Smart continued as Provost under President Modlin until the latter's surprise announcement of his decision to retire at the close of the 1970-71 academic year. At the first faculty meeting of the current year, Provost Smart announc ed his own plans for retirement.

The University is now engaged in a search for his successor, a man, it may be hoped , who has the scholarship and the deep regard for human beings that has marked Bob Smart's career. President E. Bruce Heilman not only has praised Provost Smart's performance during this last year but also has expressed his appreciation of his "advice and counsel."

Dr. Heilman was not the first to notice the warm, human qualities of this scholar who has endeared himself to his colleagues over the two score and three years of his dedicated service to this University. His friends over the years have included such academic giants as Mitchell and Loving and Ryland and Gaines. They included others like Dr. Merton E. Carver, chairman of the psychology department who will retire at the end of the current year. His association with "Mert" Carver was particularly close, dating from their Har-

vard years when they lived on the same floor of Conant Hall. Both married "only" daughters. Both came to the University of Richmond to teach, Smart in 1929, Carver six years later.

Faculty members old and young find in Bob Smart a sympathetic and understanding friend. One of them recalls that when his wife was undergoing surgery at a Richmond Hospital for a condition he feared might be malignant, Bob Smart sat beside him during all of those frightful hours while they awaited word from the operating room. Choking back his emotion, he said, "There were just the three of us, God and Bob Smart and I." Bob Smart's best friends include the relatively young man who succeeded him as Dean of Richmond College, Austin E. Grigg, a former student who recalls that "his lectures were excellent, interesting and always well prepared. When the bell rang to end the class, he would stop immediately , even in the middle of a sentence, with the comment: "You wouldn't listen to anything I'd say now that the bell has rung . I'll tell you about it next time."

Austin Grigg remembers well his first day in the dean's office and has found more than helpful Dr. Smart's words of advice. "You'll be amazed," he told the young dean , "at how many interruptions you'll have and how tired you'll feel when the day is over. But (and he smiled almost as if from pity) just remember one thing: try to be helpful to others and you'll make a good dean."

Grigg also recalls something else Bob Snnrt said to him. They were at a meeting of the Southern Association of Colleges, along with other assorted college officials, one of whom was making an unusually dull and pedantic speech .

Turning to Austin , he asked , "Why did I ever get out of biology for this mess?"

Now he's back in biology, or will be soon. There are thousands of fungi waiting to be collected. The slime molds are awaiting his further examination. And perhaps most important of all, the dogwoods are in bloom again.

Bob Smart: A Prophetic Scholar

I

t seems incredible that nearly 40 years have elapsed since Bob Smart introduced me to biology at the University level. That was way back in 1934 at the end of my freshman year. Characteristically, he invited me to present a lecture on insects to the summer school course in which I was enrolled. This was destined to be the first of thousands of lectures which I have subsequently presented on that same theme .

Maryland Hall in those days was a brand new building and we rattled around in it. Bob was just then completing his dissertation for the Harvard Ph .D. degree which he received the next year.

His studies had to do with the structure and way-of-life of a particularly fascin ating creature called "slime molds ." The prophetic character of Bob's scholarship is illustrated by the fact that these particular fungi have subsequently come to be an "in" subject of present day biology.

Bob's graduate studies had been carried out at Harvard under the direction of Prof. William (Cap) Weston, who is still very much alive and kicking after 14 years as Professor of Botany , Emeritus. I venture to think that much of Weston's charisma rubbed off on Bob personal magnetism and zest Smart-the for the scientific chase. Also reminiscent of Weston was the skill which Bob developed in presenting his lectures in a forceful, logical, and altogether winning way . Generations of students can testify to that fact.

I have no doubt that Bob Smart could have become a renowned research worker if he had pursued his own personal scholarship . Instead, he chose to enter into a life of service to the community and to as Head of the DeAlma Mater-first partment of Biology, and then as Dean of Richmond College , and finally as Provost of the University.

I, for one, have a deep sense of appreciation for his influence on my own life-and-times and I seize on this opportunity to wish Bob and his Eleanor the very best of luck in the years to come.

the goal of improving physir:, iting cal facilities and raising academic

a;

programs to a level of national excellence, the University Board of Trustees has announced the initiation of a major development program of $50 million.

The action was taken in a special session of the Board Wednesday , March 22.

It was announced to the faculty and later at a press conference March 23 by Rector Robert T. Marsh, Jr. , '22, Executive Committee Chairman E. Claiborne Robins, '31, William B. Thalhimer, Jr. , Planning and Development Committee Chairman and President E. Bruce Heilman.

President Heilman asserted that the development program is "to fulfill the commitment to excellence resulting from the $40 million gift to the University endowment made by the Robins family in 1969." He stressed that "while the magnificent gift put the University in a sound financial position operationally, the multi-millions of dollars needed now and in the future to achieve excellence in quality education must come from all the constituents of the University ."

He continued, "The Robins gift means that others who support the University of Richmond can be sure that they are contributing to an institution which has

a bright and confident future. This program is a part of fulfilling the expectation of the Robins family to challenge others to do likewise." $15 Million Assured Rector Marsh said that $8.1 million has been assured toward the $50 million goal including the remaining $7 million of the Robins Challenge Grant of 1969.

The $7 million Challenge funds are available as soon as an additional $7 million is pledged , which will in effect provide $15 million toward the goal of $50 million. Thus, the University can push ahead vigorously.

Marsh asserted that "the University is doing a commendable job, but studies by alumni, faculty and students have shown that we must pursue immediately the objectives designed to make the University of Richmond the leader in private higher education."

The development program will be divided into two phases over a 10-year period and will be the largest such undertaking in the University's 140-year history. The major items in the first phase will include $20 million for immediate facility needs . Phase Two will include an additional $20 million in long-range facility, endowment and operating needs .

Dr . Heilman listed immediate facility needs and their costs as: 1. Enlargement, renovation and refurbishing of the Boatwright Memomillion rial Library-$2.2 2. Construction of a new university center-$3 .2 million 3. Development of an improved and expanded science complex-$8 million. mil4. Classrooms and offices-$1.5 lion.

5. Campus-wide renovations and remillion furbishing-$3 6. Equipment and teaching aids-$1.5 million.

Also in the program will be allocations for endowed professorships to attract and keep superior faculty , and scholarships to make it possible for highly qualified students to attend the University.

There will be funds for academic innovation to update and stay abreast of all educational developments , and library acquisitions.

To even the most casual alumni observer it is obvious that these campus improvements are desperately needed.

Science buildings built in 1934, little changed during the ensuing years, are just not adequate for today's student.

The Student Center, which was erected to serve the needs of the several hundred town students enrolled in 1951, is no match for the recreational needs o.f the 1150 men and women presently housed on campus. came approxiThe announcement mately one year after the University selected President Heilman to succeed Dr. George M. Modlin.

President Heilman said that he came to the University of Richmond because unusual hisof its "great strengths-an tory, excellent administration in the past , an outstanding Board of Trustees , a dedicated faculty, relatively small student body and the magnificent support of the Robins family." But, he added that "we cannot allow ourselves to be satisfied with the current progress if we are to move forward as a leader in private education in the state and nation . We are determined to achieve this goal."

In closing , Dr. Heilman added, "Because of the support of the Robins family, resulting in more than $70 million over the years, and because of the already high level of quality education offered here , I am convinced that this University has the greatest potential of any private university in the nation."

The Alumni Report U of R Men and Women Speak Out on Important University and Alumni Programs The idea to undertake an extensive study to determine alumni sentiment on various questions relating to alumni programs and the future development of the University of Richmond was put into motion on Saturday, January 9, 1971 when a small group of alumni met to consider the most time~consuming and important task ever assumed by Richmond alumni. Their numbers grew to include more than 60 persons representing all divisions of the University and they devoted countless Saturdays and ev enings to discussions with faculty, students and administrators . Otis L. Brown, '56, served as general chairman, with Randolph P. Tabb, '36, and Robert L. McDanel, '47 , sub-committee chairmen .

The Fall issue of the alumni magazine featured a lengthy questionnaire designed to give alumni an opportunity to formally state their thoughts concerning the University and its programs.

The questionnaire results and the va~ rious, related subcommittee findings and recommendations are recorded in the following report . It is the hope of all those who have served in its preparation that the information found in the report will both inform and guide the Trustees and administration of the University of Richmond during the coming years of improvement and change .

A REPORT Impressions and Ideas of University of Richmond Alumni

1972 Otis L. Brown,'56 General Chairman ADEQUACY OF SURVEY A total of 16, 142 Alumni Questionnaires were mailed to alumni in 48 states and 38 foreign countries . The decision was made by the alumni study committee to include in the sutdy all completed questionnaires received by November 8, 1971, although 143 additional ones were received beyond the deadline.

There were 1406 completed questionnaires received by November 8 for a percentage return of 8.7. Although the

8

committee had hoped for a higher return, the belief is that this sample is reasonably representative of the larger body of alumni in that there were no appreciable differences in responses for most questions when the sample was broken down by decade of graduation and devision attended.

If the sample of 1406 is assumed to be a random sample of the entire body of alumni, then statistically it can be demonstrated that the maximum error attributed to the percentage reply to any given question is relatively small .* Therefore, if the assumption of sample randomness can be made, then a considerable degree of accuracy can be attached to the percentages reported.

Those who have never attended the special campus days cite "cost and distance" and the vague category "other" as the reason for not returning. The committee noted that, had the programs seemed more inviting, the negative respondents might have been more likely to overcome at least the "cost/ distance" deterrent.

Many respondents would like to see an Alumni Day program designed to introduce their children to the University.

Enough people indicated they would use a charter bus service between the campus and City Stadium for football games to warrant beginning the program on a small scale .

SubcommitteeFindings PUBLICATIONS AND CAMPUS DAYS QuestionnaireResults ALUMNI PUBLICATIONS The general reaction to the alumni magazine is favorable . For example, in excess of 90% of respondents read half to all of each issue. Questions concerning the addition to the magazine of short questionnaires and a Letters to the Editor column also received endorsement with 80% favoring the former and 66% endorsing the latter.

SPECIAL CAMPUS DAYS Homecoming, Law Day and Alumni Day, three days which, have always been of special importance on the campus, seem to have retained ' their importance.

At least those who answered the questionnaire support them. No less than 60% attend Homecoming occasionally while slightly less attend Alumni Day activities. An even greater percentage of law respondents state they return for Law Day.

* Actually the maximum standard error

would be 1.3 percentage points for a sample of 1406 from a population of 16,500.

That is, if 55% of the sample responded "yes", for example, to a particular item, then, with probability, in two chances out of three, the actual or "true" percentage would be between 53.7% and 56.3%. For a more complete discussion of sampling standard error, see chapter 2 of: Kish, Leslie. Survey Sampling, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York, 1965.

PUBLICATIONS Any publication must be of a professional quality. Its primary purpose should be communication to the alumni about campus activities, alumni affairs and accomplishments of faculty, students and alumni. It should not be a publicity organ for Administration policies and should contain more campus news, possibly by a Collegian representative.

Each division of the University should have a section for news but the format must be standardized to save money . In line with economy, the present system of class notes should be standardized and excess language must be eliminated.

The size type presently used is quite expensive. One possibility proposed is that the various division sections with attendant class notes be put on cheaper paper in an insert form. Another alternative is to have at least two of the publications each year in a newspaper form .

The committee is divided at this point between a total of 4 and 6 issues per year if we add the newspaper.

It is recommended that the publication be provided free of charge to each alumnus and alumna of the University.

In the case of all divisions except West-

f

I

hampton the cost should be paid from the total Alumni Fund with part of each contribution being designated for publications. In the case of Westhampton, as long as it operates its alumnae organization separate from the rest of the University, it must pay its share but the committee is undecided as to what the basis of calculation should be.

The majority of the committee is opposed to advertising with Graham and Yeatts dissenting.

At this time, we are not in favor of an alumni directory because it is felt it is out of date by the time it is published.

However, each issue of any publication should contain a returnable tear-out for change of address, promotions, new babies, etc.

In general, it is the opinion of the committee that the recent editions of the magazine have been an improvement over past publications. It must be the aim of to acquaint any alumni publication alumni with up-to-date news of the University and each other to the end that alumni desire to contribute to the University and to return at every opportunity.

SPECIAL ALUMNI CAMPUS AFFAIRS We favor the concept of alumni weekends rather than just "days", although this is actually the case now in fact rather than in name. Any week-end must have strong appeal through interesting and varied programs. There are too many activities claiming the attention and allegiance of alumni for them to return to campus every year just to see old friends. The ladies feel that much of the success of their alumnae week-end is because of their program and discussion series.

HOMECOMING The purposes of Homecoming are communication with the University community, fellowship and renewal of acquaintances, all aimed at increased identification with and support of the University, including financially . Homecoming should be underwritten by the University, assuming that planning has taken place beforehand. This fund should come

from the Annual Giving Funds and be at the disposal of the Homecoming Committee.

While student involvement is desired, Homecoming is for alumni and friends of the University , not for the current students. We acknowledge that the students are not greatly interested in involving themselves.

We would recommend the following : 1. Alumni magazine arriving at least three ( 3) weeks before Homecoming with feature articles of the program and activities of the week-end.

2. An improved program with more than just the football game. working together 3. All divisions through the new over-all Alumni Council.

4. Some follow-up activity after the game. We are not in concensus agreement as to whether we should have a dinner-dance or just a dance but we should have something . Westhampton wishes to retain its Friday night dinner as it feels it is very important to its alumnae affairs.

5. Sunday morning chapel services. be ap6. Homecoming Committee pointed early and let it investigate Homecoming programs of other universities.

7. Provide buses to the stadium for the game.

8. Continue the golf tournament.

9. Have special University Players production.

We agreed that each division must be afforded the opportunity to have its own special activity, e.g. SBA breakfast.

ALUMNI DAY We would recommend the following: 1. Change date to 4th week-end in April because of many May activities by other groups and organizations.

2. Use students and faculty more in programs and activities. Classes are not being held on Saturdays now.

3. Division into smaller groups for programs.

4 . Ask students to plan a program for children of alumni who are high school juniors and seniors.

5. Continue reunions. They are not a thing of the past.

6. We do not need any more "days".

We need to strengthen what we have .

ALUMNI INVOLVEMENT AND ALUMNI-STUDENT RELATIONS

QuestionnaireResults There is general agreement among respondents that it would be beneficial if students and alumni were informed of how alumni contributions are used by the University.

Approximately one third of the respondents favor informal talks between alumni and students as part of campus day programs.

SubcommitteeFindings Ellis M. Dunkum, B'59, Chairman Herbert C. Gill , Jr., L'71 Edward C. Peple, RC , '32 Beverly R. Holcombe, UC '68 Mrs. William E . Powers , WC , '63 Randolph W. Nuckols, RC, '21 John D. Robbins, B'69

ALUMNI INVOLVEMENT During the committee's deliberations, the committee discussed the following means of increasing alumni involvement: of 1. Informing the Administration alumni views and opinions on major policy questions.

2. Contributing time by consultation with members of the faculty, appearing on "Career Day" programs and consulting with the administration.

3. Counseling graduates .

4. Assisting in placement of alumni.

5. Financial support.

The committee felt that generally the alumni are vitally interested in the welfare and progress of their alma mater; however, their interest could be stimulated and increased if the alumni became involved by first learning more about the University and then communicated their ideas and opinions relating to the University's present and future policies and plans.

During its period of deliberations, the members of the committee received copies of the student newspaper and the members of the committee felt that this greatly increased their knowledge of what was happening on the campus today.

Many members of the committee felt it would be desirable if some means were developed to enable alumni to receive copies of the student newspaper.

The committee discussed various means of providing alumni an opportunity "to

9

be heard" and decided that the following would provide excellent vehicles to achieve this goal: 1. Periodic questionnaires ( for example, one or two questions in each issue of the alumni magazine dealing with pertinent matters of concern to the University and Alumni.

2. A "Letters to the Editor" column in the alumni magazine.

3. Open forums to discuss the University's problems or to improve various alumni activities and events such as Homecoming and Alumni Day. It was the concensus of the committee that the alumni body represents a tremendous source of knowledge and expertise that should be tapped for the benefit of the University. For example, alumni could be used as consultants to the faculty on "real world" changes that affect the relevancy of the curriculum, and consultants to the administration on budgeting, computer installations, management control systems, public relations,. fund raising, etc.

ALUMNI-STUDENT RELATIONS The committee felt that the majority of the undergraduates do not recognize the time and the energies, as well as money expended by alumni on their behalf. The committee concluded that if the undergraduates had a greater awareness of the contributions the alumni make to the University, their interest in becoming an "active" alumnus upon graduation would be stimulated. The committee felt that alumni-student relations would be improved if both the students and the alumni were given an opportunity to make recommendations on how donations to the annual giving campaign should be spent and if they received a report setting forth the receipts and expenditures by major categories.

The committee also discussed the appropriate time when a student should officially become an alumnus. Though there was no definitive conclusion drawn, it was generally felt that a student who had completed one semester should be considered an alumnus.

Lastly, the committee felt that AlumniStudent Forums or other joint meetings would provide an exc~llent opportunity for improving alumni-student relations.

ALUMNI EDUCATIONAL & CULTURAL ACTIVITIES QuestionnaireResults A majority of respondents favor the attraction of nationally known speakers to the Alumni-Faculty Forum continuing education series by establishing an admission charge. A sizeable number of people indicated they would attend noncredit summer continuing education programs on campus. Most people favor the continuation of alumni tours abroad.

CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS Cultural and educational programs, in our opinion, offer a perfect opportunity to involve the community as well as the alumni, faculty and student body. The excellent facilities of our Fine Arts Building and Theater, and the talents of our own faculty are resources which we should use to the greatest extent.

ALUMNI-FACULTY FORUM This should be continued, with possibly a name change so that it won't seem restricted to alumni only. Much more effort should be made to publicize the program to alumni, friends, the surrounding community, and especially to students.

In the interest of better alumni-student relations, we should strive for programs of common interest to both students and alumni. Campus posters, Collegian articles, etc. should be used to publicize the programs to students. Past programs, primarily using alumni and faculty as speakers, have been excellent, but it is felt that an expanded budget in order to attract outstanding speakers may be in order. A nominal charge to help defray the cost of securing nationally known personalities should not be ruled out.

CONTINUING EDUCATION Growing numbers of universities are conducting "Alumni Colleges", featuring

selected courses of particular interest, usually of two days to one week's duration, and often held on campus the week after graduation. It is recommended that the University of Richmond inaugurate such a program, on a semi-subsidized basis to begin. Air conditioned dormitories and classrooms are a must, and recreational facilities of the new athletic center could be used.

Short courses in areas of expertise by our faculty and of interest to alumni and the local business community should be inaugurated. These should be held on campus, not downtown, and could be scheduled during Spring Vacation or other off-peak periods during the school year.

A lecture series by faculty-alumnus teams is suggested on a semi-monthly or monthly basis. Both faculty member and alumnus should have special qualifications in the selected subject. Suggested subjects are: "The Stock Market", "Planning Budgets", "Medicine for Laymen", "Rapid Reading", "How to Borrow Money", and the like.

ALUMNI-SPONSORED PROGRAMS FOR STUDENTS Several guidelines for these programs were suggested in a meeting with student leaders: 1. If alumni programs for students are desired, the alumni should provide the financial support and the students should make the arrangements, without strings.

The fact that the program is alumni sponsored should be well understood.

2. To be successful, we should strive for a common ground-programs of mutual interest to students and alumni.

3. In the Alumni-Faculty Forum, select subject matter and speakers that would have appeal for students as well as for alumni and friends. Publicize the programs to students by means of campus posters, etc.

4. An informal social function (mixer) would be well to bring together students and alumni. Facilities in the new athletic center could be utilized, possibly in connection with an athletic event or homecoming .

5. To help solve the communications gap, a monthly activities calendar should be published and distributed, incorporat-

ing all student and alumni activities for both Westhampton and the male University of Richmond schools. This should be done by students with Alumni office help.

6. Effort should be made during the junior and seniors years to involve students in Alumni Society activities, possibly by using student volunteers as campus guides, and by hiring students as part time assistants ( not file clerks) in the Office of Alumni Affairs.

7. A catalogue of alumni resourcesalumni available for informal career be made available for counseling-should student use in the Alumni Office.

8. In the student view, the most desired alumni program is one to supply scholarship money for needy students.

This may be: a. A student run fund raising performance at Homecoming, with profits going to a student scholarship fund. b. An alumni sponsored and supported student talent show, to raise money for the scholarship fund.

9. A "Housing Bureau for Dates" should be established in the Alumni Office. This would list homes of alumni living near the campus, in which rooms would be made available for visiting dates of students.

LOCAL CLUBS The Handbook for Alumni Clubs, published by the Alumni Office, should prove a valuable guide in organizing and conducting an effective local club program.

In addition, the following suggestions are made by a group of leaders of out-oftown Alumni Clubs: 1. A primary objective of local clubs could be to raise scholarship funds for students, which is seen as one of the major needs of the University at this time.

2. The publicity function, particularly liaison with the local press, could be a major help in promoting the University of Richmond in the area.

3. Sports is an area of common interest to alumni and friends of all ages, and club programs might well feature sports, particularly during the fall.

course. Most feel the additional course is not necessary, but rather that greater emphasis should be placed on legal writing within the present curriculum.

Most law graduates see no advantage to the idea of making Richmond College and School of Business Administration courses available for law students.

CURRICULUM Richmond College and Westhampton College Alumni found their education to be generally "satisfactory" with several notable exceptions. Forty-five percent remember the breadth and coverage of their general education to have been "excellent" while 42 % recall that opportunities for research and independent study were "poor" and 40% termed their experiences in the off-campus community "poor" also.

School of Business Administration SBA alumni indicated they feel that the basic subjects required for a business. degree were generally "satisfactory" as to their value in post-college life. Several courses were rated "excellent" and only two were termed "poor" by a significant number of respondents.

The vast majority of SBA graduates (74%) favor an attempt to strike a balance between academic and applied aspects in the school's curriculum.

The T. C. Williams School of Law ¡Most law alumni respondents favor an attempt to obtain a greater number of professors with law degrees from law schools other than T. C. Williams while 38% are in favor of continuing to draw its professors, in large part, from among its own alumni.

Law alumni are generally in favor of curriculum changes. Most feel more local practicing lawyers should be used as faculty members. Large majorities favor the addition of more business law and taxation and there is considerable support for the consolidation and revamping of the present civil procedure and property law courses. A majority favor adding a separate course on Legal Philosophy of Jurisprudence.

Even though lawyers often complain about the need of law graduates to write properly, law alumni do not favor the addition of a separate legal writing

GRADUATE

SCHOOL

The University is, and should be, primarily an undergraduate school, but the committee recognizes the value to the community, the students and the faculty in offering strong M.A. and M.S. programs across the University. More scholarships and work study programs are needed to foster this. There is no strong committee sentiment favoring the establishing of a Ph.D. program.

There should be internships in and administration. At liberal arts colthe community as well as social science leges, the purpose is to educate broadly

and give the students a general background. Special attention should always be given to keeping the curriculum current and flexible. For example, some Interdisciplinary Programs such as American Studies are becoming popular on many campuses. Also, courses in Earth Science are being offered in more and more colleges.

The committee believes that in Modern Languages it would be beneficial if all courses above the introductory level were conducted chiefly in the language involved. Also, the committee feels that in certain departments the catalogue listing of courses is misleading to parents and prospective students and that if a particular course is not offered during a given year, it should be so designated.

Comments were received regarding the need for strengthening library facilities in many areas, and the committee urges this be done.

SCHOOL OF BUSINESS The committee believes, in addition to the preference given children of alumni, that Richmond College and Westhampton applicants should be given preference, always assuming equal qualificaagain the committee tions. Though generally feels that admissions decisions are the province of the Dean and faculty, it is suggested that "high risk" students are best left to be educated in larger or specialized schools. A mix of socioeconomic classes, and other desirable diversities in the student body are encouraged but not to the point of relaxing quality standards. Scholarships and grants should be available on a need basis.

Out-of-state students should be recruited, but the predominate number of students should be from within Virginia. The curriculum again is the province of the Dean and the faculty; however, some guidance is available through the Questionnaire replies which indicate a general acceptance of the basic curriculum now offered but a majority favoring a balance between academic and applied aspects of a student's major or area of concentration. Curriculum should be set with a constant awareness of the market needs of the day. Further, an advisory committee composed in part of alumni and

students is recommended and encouraged to consult with the Dean in the area of curriculum. Accommodations for the working student should be provided, but, again, not to the point of relaxing standards. A strong masters program should be developed with some consideration for a Ph.D. program in the future, favored by some of the committee.

LAW SCHOOL The committee recommends the immediate creation of a "Law School Advisory Board" to make annual written recommendations to the Law School administration in the general areas of admission standards and policies, curriculum and scholarships. The Board would be composed of ten members as follows: a. Two law students, one from each of the second and third year classes. The fact that a student serves in any office or other capacity in any student organization shall not prevent his election to the Board. b. The Dean and three Law School professors. The Dean shall have sufficient economic information available at each meeting of the Board so that he can answer questions relating to the monetary feasibility of proposals. If this is not possible then a person with the proper financial information should be present at each meeting. c. Three Law School alumni to be appointed by the Board of Directors of the Law School Association or by the President of the Association if the Board of Directors is not sitting to serve for a term of three years. At all times at least two of the three alumni members of the Board shall be practicing lawyers. d. One practicing lawyer who is not an alumnus of the Law School, to be selected by the other nine members of the Board for a term of one year.

It is the belief of the committee that the Board would insure the interest and of the faculty, students, participation alumni and the legal community in these highly relevant and important areas on the a continuing basis. Furthermore, Board would be most helpful in aiding the new Dean of the Law School in assuming his new position with relative ease.

The committee further recommends that during its first year the Board consider and, where appropriate, make written recommendations to the Law School administration on the following topics or questions: 1. The results of the 1971 Alumni Questionnaire as it relates to the Law School.

2. Admission Standards and Policies and Scholarships. a. Should the Law School give any preference towards the admission of Virginia residents? Should it give preference towards the admission of University of Richmond undergraduates? Should it give preference to the immediate relatives of alumni of the Law School? Should there be an active attempt to recruit students from the ranks of minority racial groups? b. How much emphasis should be given undergraduate academic qualifications? How much emphasis should be given to law boards? How much emphasis should be given to the relative academic standing of the undergraduate college or university of an applicant? How much emphasis should be given to the activities extracurricular undergraduate of an applicant? c. The entire scholarship program of the Law School should be reviewed in light of the determinations made in "a" and "b" above.

3. Curriculum a . Should the orientation of the Law School be on a state or national basis?

Should Virginia law be emphasized in the curriculum? b. Is there a need for an interdiscipliat the Law School? nary approach Should courses for credit be available for law students at the Business School, within the political science department of the University of Richmond, etc.? c. The entire present curriculum should be reviewed and in particular the following areas of study: l. Taxation; 2 . Business law; 3. Jurisprudence; 4. Civil Procedure; 5. Property; and 6. Legal Writing. d. Should more seminars be instituted at the Law School? In this connection, what are the pros and cons of having

13

practicing lawyers teaching specialized courses and seminars? e. What should be the Law School's approach to "clinical legal education"this is work out of the classroom, in the courts, the legislature, etc.? Does the Law School have the human and financial resources to offer such clinical courses for credit? In this same connection, what, if any, particular types of skill training should be included in the curriculum?

For example, should the curriculum include such things as learning to search a title, drafting legal instruments and pleadings, etc.? f. Should the Law School offer credit for any student activities? g. Which courses in the curriculum should be required or mandatory? h. Should the Law School have evening classes? If so, who should be eligible to participate? In this context, the Board should make a thorough study of the potential of VCU engaging in a night law school and evaluate the effect of this on the Law School. (Note: The committee strongly recommends the institution of evening law classes.) i. In light of all of the above would it be feasible to institute a two -year J .D. program at the Law School? Is it pos sible with some innovative reform a twoyear program would be sufficient to teach a student to "think like a lawyer"?

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE The committee recommends the retention and further development of the various educational programs offered to metropolitan Richmond through University College, considering them of value to both the University and the community. It was apparent from the alumni questionnaire, however, that the work of University College needs to be publicized and interpreted so that alumni may have a proper understanding of the College.

It was felt that the two-year Day Division performed an important service for the "reasonable" risk student who needed special assistance to achieve his educational goals. Although the admissions standards are relaxed, the curriculum and the faculty provide an experience that enables those who succeed to perform almost as well in the senior division as do

14

those who were at the senior college from the beginning.

The committee was also convinced that the programs in continuing education for adults offered in the evening were most appropriate and useful for a university so strategically local in the capital city of Richmond. The diversity of academic programs reflects the various needs of the community. The committee believes that quality of programs and faculty must be a prime concern of the University as it strengthens itself in the years ahead.

The committee also feels that enough cannot be said about the total lack of tennis courts, softball diamonds and intra-mural facilities, both indoor and outdoor, which are lacking at the present and are greatly needed. The committee would like to see about a 35,000 to 45,000 seat football stadium on the campus.

The committee would like to see more sports added to the present sports program in which there is "something for everyone" who wants to participate. The committee feels that the University is losing a lot of good local athletes and students to other schools because we do not have wrestling or swimming teams.

Knowing that these sports need coaches and knowing that a full time coach on a year round salary would be very expensive, the committee feels that there is a lot of local coaching talent in the City of Richmond for many of the sports which could be added or are at present on our sports program. For example, Vinny Giles, an investment broker, and former U. S. National Amateur Golf Champion, would be an excellent person to approach about coaching the golf team.

The committee would also like to see more high school "all-star" tournaments or meets on the campus after improvements in facilities are made and to see the athletic department sponsor more clinics for high schools on the campus .

For example, with better than twenty-one high schools in the Richmond area alone , a clinic for high school trainers and managers by Professor Leonard McNeal would be of great public relations value to the Athletic Department.

The committee would like to stress one big point about the athletes who have graduated from the University of Richmond. The committee feels that the University of Richmond has turned out very few "athletic bums" and if a study were made of the accomplishments of our former athletes, the University of Richmond would stand tall with any school in the country on the accomplishments of her former athletes. The committee does not want to see any academic standards waived for an athlete, but wants our athletes to have to meet any require-

ment of any other student for admission to the University of Richmond.

THE UNIVERSITY IN E FUTURE: COORDINATE OR COEDUCATIONAL? Questionnaire Results A large majority of alumni (68%) favor the continuation of the present coordinate policies relative to Westhampton College and Richmond College. An even greater number ( 82 % ) favor having deans at both colleges.

Most alumni (61 % ) feel that the two colleges should maintain separate admissions offices. (NOTE: Westampton alumnae (76%) are the group most interested in the continuation of separate admissions offices although only 33% alumnae were in favor of continued duplicate recruiting efforts considered in an earlier section of the questionnaire.)

Fewer persons are concerned about the continuation of separate registrar offices, dining halls, medical care and academic departments. Most alumni (71 % ) agree that student housing should continue to be separate.

Most alumni ( 59 % ) favor the present separate alumni associations while 31 % are opposed and 11 % are undecided .

In answer to the hypothetical question of what the admissions policy should be, in the event Richmond College and Westhampton College should become one coeducational college , most alumni ( 57%) favor the establishment of a set ratio policy of men to women while 43 % back an open admissions policy in regards to sex.

Most respondents (57%) would like to see the University of Richmond be, academically, an outstanding institution of national reputation while 31 % prefer a regional reputation and 12 % are in favor of a strong area and state reputation.

. Ballard Baker, RC '47 David L. Burke, B '62 Richard C. Chewning, UC Patrick M. McSweeney, L '68

RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. The formation of a group to be called the University of Richmond Alumni Council with two representatives each from among the alumni of: Westhampton College, Richmond College, School of Business Administration, The T. C. Williams School of Law and University College.

2. The manner in which the two representatives of each division are selected will be left to the descretion of the groups they represent.

3. Membership-All members will serve two-year alternating terms. (The first year, five members will be elected to one-year terms and five to two-year terms. Thus, each subsequent year there will be five new members and five experienced members.)

4. The Chairman of the University of Richmond Alumni Council shall be elected to a one-year term by the members of the Council. The Chairman may not serve two concurrent terms as chairman.

5. The Alumni Council will have no power over the individual alumni organizations, but rather will be"A unified organization to represent all alumni of the University of Richmond in matters relating to university policy and also ¡ aid the component alumni associations, at their request, . with specific problems."

6. The formation of the Alumni Council will not effect in any way the fundraising activities of the various alumni organizations.

The Committee on Alumni Association Organization voted unanimously to submit these recommendations to the governing body of each alumni organization with the recommendation that they be approved no later than November 1, 1971. It further recommends that, if approved, the University of Richmond Alumni Council be a functioning organization by September I, 1972.

toFeature end i AlumnWeek of Dr.Smart Honoring Second alumni golf tourney slated for James River Course A special reception on Saturday afternoon, -May 20 will be the capstone for Alumni a fun-filled and informative Weekend. At that time Dr. Robert F. Smart, University Provost, will be honored. Dr. Smart will retire in June after 43 years of service to the University of Richmond, first as a mainstay in the Department of Biology and later as Dean of Richmond College.

During the reception Dr. Smart will be presented with appropriate tokens of appreciation by representatives of the faculty, administration and the alumni/ ae.

This will be the perfect opportunity for those who have known him as teacher , scholar , Dean and friend to say "thank you " for his many years of dedicated service to the University.

Official Alumni Weekend activities will get underway at 10:00 a.m. Friday morning when alumni golfers will begin to tee off on the beautiful James River Golf Course . After a large turnout for the Homecoming alumni golf tournament , Chairman E. Claiborne Robins, Jr., B'68 is anticipating quite a throng. "We had 86 alumni, faculty and friends out on a threatening day in October ," he said , "and I think we can plan on having at least 125 on May 19."

A social hour, courtesy of Mr. Robins' hockey team, The Richmond Robins, is scheduled for 6 : 30 p .m. and a delicious buffet dinner will follow at 7: 30 p.m.

Dancing until the wee hours will close out the evening on a happy note.

Uof R Debaters Maintain Winning Tradition

by Gale Cooper, WC '67 debate is a fun sport. fll rganized In that context, it is the intelg lectual equivalent to a gladiatorial contest involving large and hungry Feles leones .

Topical knowledge becomes the armor, words the weapons, used in the altogether civilized and ruthless exchange.

The man (or maid) having armorial chinks, an untrue aim or insufficient thrust of his weapons, is promptly clawed to shreds by superior reason and delivery, leaving him at the mercy of the judge's thumbs-up, thumbs-down verdict.

For the past 38 years University of Richmond's intellectual warriors have returned from battle with both wounds and trophies. They are well acquainted with the agonies of loss and the bliss of victory. In the last 17 years, however, the bliss has been the more frequent11 of those years have found U of R debate teams in national competition.

Only 39 other universities in the nation can make that claim each year; there are 3,000+ which would like to.

Head debate coach Max C. Graeber of the department of speech not only teaches debate, he believes in it. "Its value lies in its characteristic crossing of all disciplines, and it's the only educational tool we have that will do that.

Deba_te demands a development of perspective. A student joins with others to unearth a large body of information.

From that (which encompasses not only the original area but tangent topics) he must form conclusions. He strives then to articulate his conclusions convincingly .

He examines and re-examines a problem and its causes . His conclusions must be defended under attack.

"Then he must be able to assume the opposite stand with equal competence."

That is no small order. This year's topic , for example, is "Resolved: That Greater Controls Should Be Imposed Upon the Gathering and Utilization of Information

by Government Agencies on U.S. Citizens."

Last year the U of R debaters engaged 220 colleges and universities from 33 states and the District of Columbia. That meant 22 tournaments from New York to Miami and as far west as Kentucky.

They won three major championships, including the American Congressional Cup from American University.

This academic year has had its bright spots, too. University of Richmond students won every award except one at the William and Mary Virginia Forensic Tournament for first and second year debaters . The Old Dominion Sweetheart Invitational (fought on Valentine's Day) at Old Dominion University was the site of a first place triumph over 52 competitors from across the nation.

Graeber was named Outstanding Debate Coach of 1971 at the Collegiate Debate Championship at Longwood College. Assisting him in coaching are Dr. Jerry L. Tarver and Bob Frank, an alumnus who has returned to the university after gaining his Masters Degree at the University of North Carolina. Bernie Bohm, a graduate student , also coaches.

Each year a topic for debate is picked via ballot by the more than 3,000 coaches in the nation's seven districts. Given six topics, the coaches rate then first, second , etc. The national debate topic for the year (rated first by a majority) is announced August 1. Research begins immediately; competition generally starts in early October and continues until within a couple of weeks of school closing in the spring.

This year's budget for U of R debate is $4,200 which is given by Richmond and Westhampton Colleges and the School of Business Administration Student Government Associations . This covers tournament entrance fees, travel expenses, hotels and meals during travel. It is also used for debate events on campus.

Two persons make up a team . Generally two teams attend a tournament (most tournaments have a limit of two teams , some one) with a coach. Friday and Saturday are the most popular days for tournaments. Debaters may participate in as many as six rounds in a day, although this is an unusually heavy schedule. "Four rounds is the equivalent that tired of running 20 miles-you're after four," said Graeber.

Debaters can expect to be gone four or five weekends each semester, missing classes accordingly . "A highly competitive debater works more often ," said Graeber who is quick to point out that grades do not suffer with time out of class.

"Debaters have very high academic

averages as a rule. They can apply techniques from debate to classwork, exams, papers . They know how to isolate the most important aspects of a topic; they become accustomed to research and know the most effective ways to gather information from study material.

"There is a big carry-over, " he continued. "It is not unusual to see a student's marks improve from half to a full letter grade through his debate training."

U of R debaters are not only tournament participants but hosts as well. Two tournaments of long standing sponsored by them are the Intercollegi ate Debate which annually attracts Tournament, some 200 participants , and the High School Debate Tournament, a day and a half of competition for high school students from throughout Virginia and North Carolina. U of R debaters also get valuable experience as judges when asked for help by high schools in five neighboring districts. Each summer the High School Debate Institute on the campus attracts hundreds of students and their coaches from across Virginia. As a result of these programs, many high school debaters are attracted to the university and continue debating for the Spiders.

Graeber remains on the alert for promising high school students whom he invites to the campus with their parents. Although there are no scholarships in debate, he works closely with the university's financial aid office to get help for students who need assistance.

The research and study by a debater is staggering. "We warn students that debating involves about the same amount of work as a three-hour course, " remarked Graeber. "Ac tually, a good debater works much harder than that in developing his cases.

"H is file box of information usually has from 1,500 to 3,000 cards of facts.

Of course , we pool information and assign aspects of a topic to individuals or assign reading of a certain magazine.

When someone discovers an item that the debaters agree is relevant, we duplicate it for the others."

Considering the long hours of work and lack of academic credit, is there a problem in recruiting debaters ? "We have 15 in the program now; we have had as many as 24 and as few as 12," he noted.

"We have those people because they are aware of what debate can do for them."

Debate coach Max Graeber and assistant coach Bob Frank back up their outstanding debate squad as they proudly display many of their recent prizes and trophies.

in the refectory at Richmond College.

The occasion was enhanced by the new deep red carpet and newly painted walls, making the refectory a very pleasant place to dine.

The board reconvened Saturday morning to complete their discussions.

In the board meeting on Friday and again at the dinner, President E. Bruce Heilman announced a gift of approximately a half million dollars , which came to the university in the form of a bequest by the late Dr. Sidney A . Slater , who for 37 years was superintendent of Southwestern Sanatorium at Worthington, Minn. (See related article, page 18).

President Heilman said the funds would be added to the University endowment to "strengthen the academic posture of the University."

In other action taken by the Board of Trustees, a parking fee of $ 15 will be charged to students of the University in the 1972-73 session. The income from the fees, expected to amount to approximately $25,000 , will be used to maintain and improve the parking facilities at the university.

In a report to the trustees Annual Giving Ch-airman, B. Frank skinner, a telephone company executive from Washington, D. C. , told the board that $190,000 of the university's goal of $276 ,000 had been raised thus far. He pointed out that of the funds received, $85 ,000 was increased giving over last year and would qualify under the Robins matching grant .

At the dinner, Dr. Heilman presented awards to two recently retired members of the board, business executive Overton D . Dennis and attorney Elizabeth N. Tompkins . Dennis , president of the Dennis Corporation and a member of the boards of several local firms, is a member of the class of 1910 and has been an advisor in financial matters to Dr. Heilman 's predecessors, Dr. George M. Modlin and Dr. F. W. Boatwright . He had served on the University board for 35 years before retiring last September.

The university conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Science in 1951.

Miss Tompkins, a partner in the Richmond law firm of Refo and Tompkins , is a graduate of Westhampton College and was the first woman to graduate from the University of Virginia Law School.

She served as president of the Westhampton College Alumnae Association and received the Distinguished Service A ward from the association in 1964 . She served on the Board of Trustees from 1941 to 1970. She received the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws from the university in 1970 .

R ORTS SPIDESP High Hopesfor Track; BooneSucceedsPitt

By Walt Drewery

T

he basketball season is history, the Spiders finishing with a disappointing 6-19 season. However the Spiders managed to get that one big upset late in the year, toppling West Virginia, 9987, as Mike Anastasio bagged 23 points. ¡ It 's baseball and track now that Spring is here .

Coach Fred Hardy believes he has four or five stars who will turn in fine individual performances in the big meets and relays but success in dual meets will depend on the development of a young team.

All-American Carl Wood, Captain L arry Chowning, Norman Williams, Fred Gu est and Pere Macheras are performers to watch carefully .

Ranked third nationally and seventh in the world as the result of a 50.0 timing in the 1969 season intermediate hurdles , Wood is making a comeback following knee surgery in 1970. In dual meets Carl competes in the high jump, shot put and discus.

Richmond will be strong in the sprints with Macheras , Jerome Napier and Weldon Edwards joining lettermen Williams and Ronnie Gosper . The leading quartermilers are Wood , Macheras and Napier.

There is no depth behind Guest, who will run both the three mile and 3,000 meter steeplechase, in the dist ances.

Wood, Jim Detwiler , Aubrey Rosser, Martin Burks and Dale Harris provide good depth in the hurdles . Possibilities are excellent for a fine shuttle relay team.

Just how well newcomers come through will focus the picture in the jumps. Williams could be nationally ranked in the broad jump. H arris and Rosser provide depth behind Williams in the triple jump.

Wood is the top high jumper with freshman John Reeves expected to develop in this even .

The baseball team will have a new

hurdler, Carl Wood, All American again lead a strong UR track team .

will

coach for the first time in 37 years, Chuck Boone , '60, former Spider great and New York Yankee catcher taking over the coaching assignment from the veteran Mac Pitt.

"If we can come up with a couple of pitchers from the freshmen ," says Boone, "we'll have a pretty good club. We have a lot of enthusiasm and confidence."

Shortstop Reggie Dunnavant, a .298 hitter and fine glove man, and strong armed Bill Daly ( .266) return in the infield where Marshall Owen and Kenny Francisco are battling for second base.

Boone is working with freshman Joe Lemon at first base.

Larry Pishioneri is a capable receiver.

The outfield has Donnie Walsh (.297), Les Keenan, Phil Rowland and Don Trevillian back. A couple of freshmen , Charlie Talley and Ken Dickinson, have looked good in early practice.

Al Selby (3-5) returns to head the pitching corps. Richard Bing (1-4) and Tommy Northam (2-0) also are back and so is Roger Hatcher, who did not play last season. Hatcher also is a good hitter and can play in the outfield.

ReligionLecturer MinimizesBusingProblem University faculty and students heard California sociologist Dr. Robert N. Bellah suggest that the United States is a nation which spends much of its time "hiding the truth from itself about what 's really wrong ," in three lectures sponsored by the University Lectures in Religion.

Spending April 12, 13, and 14 on the campus , Dr. Bellah met with individual students , participated in seminars and delivered public addresses as the Lecturer in Religion for J 972. Dr. Bellah is chairman of the Center for Japanese and Korean Studies at Berkeley and professor of sociology at the University of California.

Dr. Bellah suggested that school busing, a hot issue in a number of cities around the country including Richmond , is "about 5bth on the list of what's wrong with this country." He said that he'd like to "reopen the discussion of what the country's real problems are and traditional values are."

He termed the political issue of the busing of school children to achieve racial balance "an incredible case of the country putting her head in a hole ." The No. J problem , Bellah suggested, is " the managing of the economy in such a way that it will not have the ideological and sociological consequences it now has."

Dr. Bellah is one of several prominent theologicans and scholars brought to the University campus in recent years under the auspices of the University Lectures in Religion. Five years ago he wrote an article entitled "Civil Religion in America " and generated a discussion which has been going on ever since about what part religion has played and is playing in American public life.

Dr. Bellah made "civil religion" a household one for religious thinkers.

He said he has witnessed a delayed "collapse of American values" in the past IO years and is dismayed that many citizens have "turned totally negative on everything about America." Although he believes that there should not be "an idolatrous belief in America," and that many persons are turned off by "the simple assertion that American equals good," he thinks that a "give-up-on-thecountry" response to national problems is "immature ."

Dr. Bellah , who said he rejects any political totalism , said he hopes for the emergence of what he says was "an original American orientation ,"-a balance between individual rights and a sense of obligation to work for the common good.

"New StudentsDay" Is HugeSuccess As a welcoming gesture to prospective students and their parents, the Student Government Association of Richmond College, sponsored it's first "New Student Day " on Saturday, April 15. More than 600 persons attended .

In addition, more than 100 clergymen and young people of the Baptist General Association of Virginia were on the campus the same day to participate in the programs. The church group began its Open House-Information Day at 10 a.m. in the Keller Hall Reception Room.

The program was presented in cooperation with the Richmond College admissions office and lasted from 10 a.m . through 2 : 30 p.m . The guests met deans , faculty members and advisors and learned o.f departmental offerings and extracurricular activities .

"Of all possible ways to gain information about a university, visitation is the best, " said Thomas N. Pollard Jr. , admissions director. "It serves a dual purpose. The student who has not yet made up his mind in selecting a university can make his final choice with better information . The student who has already chosen the University of Richmond has an opportunity , even prior to orientation, to meet people and gain a general feeling of the university community ."

Miss Emeline L. Stearns 720 William Street Fredericksburg, Virginia 22401

Homecoming Day, October 23, was one of the wettest Saturdays I ever remember, but I was in Richmond visiting a friend and Eunice Gill Norville came for me to drive out to the University to hear our new president speak and to attend the alumni-alumnae luncheon in Keller Hall. I remember seeing Cathryn Henna there, but we three were the only members of our class who made it, I believe. Anne Gordon Steward was in Lima, Peru at that time.

Camp was there for a scientific conference and she was with him. Both of them were fascinated with the remains of the Inca civilization which they had a chance to visit.

Some of you remembered me with Christmas cards on which you gave me news which I can share. Kwan Fong wrote that she was with her sister in Mt. View , California for September, October, and November. She was in Dayton, Ohio , with her son, Sam, and his family for Christmas and will probably be there until spring or early summer.

Cathryn wrote that she and Jeanette really enjoyed their trip to Eastern Europe which they took in August and found it most interesting and informative . They met with University women's groups in the various cities they visited.

Billy Spangler Rogers spent Christmas with her brother and sister-in-law in Phoenix. She spoke of her pets (three cats and a dog) and of the pleasure of driving the freeway from Las Vegas to Phoenix"the sky clear, the desert and mountains full of beauty". She still teaches one night a week, which has the advantage of keeping her in contact with her profession (library science) and with young people.

Anne and Camp went to New Jersey for

26

Christmas. Their son, Gordon Steward, his wife, Muir, and children, Beth and Charles , live in Edison. Muir's parents came for Christmas also, so they had a real family reunion over the holiday.

I stayed in Fredericksburg for the most part, but Christmas Day my nephew, Gene, and his two sons, Andy, five, and Mark, three, drove down for my sister, Helen, and me and took us to their home in Alexandria for dinner and to see the tree and toys.

Sorrow came to Gladys Wright Cocke and her family shortly before Christmas when their younger brother, William, who lived in California, died suddenly. I know I speak for all of our class in expressing deepest sympathy. Gladys and Wilhemina and Hannah Coker are in Miami, Florida as I write this. Gladys has driven down each winter about this time for years.

I hope to hear from more of you in 1972 and also to see you in May at Westhampton.

Lottie Blanton Applewhite and Warren sent a truly unusual Christmas card this year with an inspiring message inside. It concerned the name of their home "Manumit", located in Mill Valley, California.

Warren described the historical events from Roman times when a master, by a handwritten note, freed personal slaves as an act of manumission. Lottie interpreted the word as it originated from the Latin manu ---'-hand and emittere-to send forth . Webster gives the synonym for manumit as release. This then is the name given to a piece of carved and polished mahogany sculpture given to the Applewhites by the sculptor. A photograph of this art object was reproduced as a lithograph and used on the front of their greeting card, but the part of the message I wanted to share with the class was the way Lottie related the name to their home: "It has become, much to our happiness, a place where others come; and, although heavy of heart or mind or physically tired, they have found release, laughter, and health agai!1 a,~d have set forth with a new lease on life .

Since our last report , we Youells have acquired a charming daughter! Our son,

John, married Kathy Jones in Franklin tw_o days after Christmas. The pleasure of this event was enhanced by the fact that Kathy's father and Mac had been "Brother Rats" at VMI. John is working in Richmond as an electrical engineer for the Highway Department while Kathy '?onti1;1ues graduate wo-rk in psychology. A mce side effect. of a wedding is the chance to get old friends together.

ESTATEPLANNING Education and Service This is the basic theme of the new Estate Planning Program at the University of Richmond, designed to help meet the financial demands of building and operating one of the nation's finest higher educational institutions. of these demands, Knowing would like to many individuals make gifts to the University but are concerned about their personal financial security. The new is an Estate Planning Program answer to those having these concerns because, by proper financial and tax planning, contributions to the University of Richmond may be beneficia I to the donor and the University.

The program is described as Estate Planning because, although the donor transfers property (usually securities or real estate) to the University of Richmond now, he reserves a I ife estate which permits him to receive income from the property as long as he lives. (Income can continue for the benefit of a relative or friend if the donor wishes.)

Thereafter the fund established will live on in perpetuity and help provide the benefits of education at the University of Richmond to of able stufuture generations dents.

Because the gift was made during lifetime, the donor and his estate are entitled to multiple tax advantages.

Editor's Comment

T

John A. - Clayton,

'62

he University of Richmond has embarked on the most exciting program ever undertaken in its long history. With the announcement of a $50 Million Development Program on March 23, the President and Board of Trustees made it perfectly clear that the University of Richmond will be working during the next IO years toward becoming one of the truly great universities in the country. ff you haven't been on the campus in recent years you probably don't realize why the University is seeking such a large sum of money. If you haven't been inside the buildings recently you can't appreciate the desperate need for immediate improvement of present buildings and new facilities. Cons ider the following: • The Science Complex was completed in 1934 with few noticeable improvements since.

• The Student Center , built largely to serve the needs of several hundred town students, is now inadequate for nearly 1500 dorm residents.

• The library staff must each year destroy many books ruined because the library building is not air conditioned. offices are widely • Administrative scattered about the campus making good management practices difficult to maintain.

These and many other inadequacies will be eliminated as a result of the New Development Program as most of the funds realized will be used for capital improvements . In addition, several millions will be used to create professorships and to increase faculty salaries.

You will read and hear much more about the program during the corning months. Take an interest in Your University. It is your involvement that will help make the University of Richmond one of the great institutions of higher learning. * * * * * * * * With the retirement of Dr. Robert F. Smart, a man known by generations of students for his quiet authority, dry humor and gentlemanly kindness will depart , for the first time in 43 years, from the daily campus scene. He will be missed by all who have had the pleasure of being associated with him in whatever capacity.

Everyone wishing to have a letter included in a book of memorie5 to be presented to Dr. Smart on Alumni Day, should mail it to him in care of the Alumni Office, P. 0. Box 128, University of Richmond, Va., 23173.

PhotoPotpourri "How do I get to the University of Richmond?"

That was always a simple question which always proved to be difficult to get answered as strangers to the Richmond area attempted to locate the hard-to-find campus. Now the job is much easier. Signs like this have been erected on Interstates 64 and 95 with smaller versions displayed on the primary streets leading to campus.
