Lily Tomlin worries.

Onstage at her Robins Center appearance in Novt:mhcr, she shared with her audience of some 4,000 students, faculty and townspeople some of the things she and her famous charac ters worry about.

If olive oil comes from olives and peanut oil comes from peanuts, how do we account for baby oil? If truth is beauty, how come no one has their hair done in the library? Did the person

who thought up "quality control" worry that it would get out of hand if \Ve didn't control it? Is it okay to carry a new wastepaper basket home in a paper bag?

Tomlin also worries about truth. "My mother told me so many things that aren't true," she said. "She told me only tramps get their ears pierced. She told me the people in Washington, D. C., wouldn't be there if they didn't know what they were doing."

It \\aS truth, in fact, that brought Tomlin to the Richmond campus, a visit made in conjunction with Richmoncl Quest 2000, a yearlong series of activities exploring the question, "Is truth in the eye of the beholder?'' That query was the winning entry in a campus-wide competition last year to select a question appropriate for longterm exploration by the entire campus.

Quest was conceived by University of Richmond President \'Villiam E. Cooper as a recurring, ongoing effort to bring the campus together and stimulate intellectual engagement. A new question will be selected for Quest 2002 this spring, to inspire its own classroom and dormitory discussions; faculty participation; and parade of guest speakers, panelists, debaters and other expert visitors to campus.

Tomlin"s appearance was the second major event among scores of Quest 2000 activities this year and last involving nearly all departments, programs and divisions of the University. At a press conference prior to her Robins Center appearnnce, Tomlin said that she was pleased to be part of the Quest experience and termed the program "ambit ious and far-reaching."

Speaking for herself and other celebrities and experts appearing as part of the evening's Quest symposium, she added, "I only hope we can do it justice,"' Tomlin's show was called, "And That's the Truth: An Evening of Comedy with Lily Tomlin." Her performance was laced with truthseeking or truth-revealing comments from many of her most famous characters, including the devilish 5-year-old, Edith Ann, and sassy telephone operator, Ernestine. The half-dozen or so characters she brought to her performance were joyously greeted by the audience.

President Cooper terms Tomlin's selection by 1he Quest committee, headed up by philosophy professor Dr. James Hall, a ''brilliant" choice. ''She is a comic genius, of course ,~ Cooper says. "And she is also bigger than comedy.~ When I !all and his committee picked truth and comedy as a theme of its premier campus-w ide event this fall, Tomlin immediately came to mind as one who used her talent to spo t-

light the truth. ~Her name was in play from day one," says Hall, "and a quick review of her work made the final decision to invite her an easy one.'"

T

omlin has used her c~1aracters and her stage to satinze American society, politics and human nature.

"For example," says Hall, ''her Tonywinning show, Tbe Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe , is a paradigm for comedy that illuminates the human condition."'

Tomlin's Richmond visit came just 10 days before her return to Broadway in the reopening of that one-woman, critically acclaimed show. \Vhen it first opened in 1986, Search won Tomlin not only a Best Actress Tony hut a Drama Desk Award and the Outer Critics' Circle Award as well.

The veteran performer's list of awards include another Tony for her one-woman Broadway show, Appearing Nightly; two Peabody awards; a Grammy; and six F.mmys. She also has received several other Emmy nominations, some for comedy performances and others for dramatic appearances on shows such as Homicide: Uji! on the Street. Tomlin was nominated for an

Academy Award for her role as Linnea in Nashville, and she has since appeared in more than a dozen movies, including 9 to 5, Jbe Incredible Shrinking 1r'Oman,All of Me and Tea with Mussolini. She has further credits for writing and produc ing.

Following her stand-up performance , Tomlin was awarded an honorary doctor of fine arts degree by Or. Cooper, a presentation a good deal more colorful and amusi ng than such ceremonies usually are, thanks to Tomlin's mugging and interr uptions.

A doctor of comedy at last, Tomlin returned to the stage as part of a panel of humor experts for further exploration of the nature of truth and its relationship to comedy.

J

oining Tomlin in a free-for-all discussion that ranged from serious amination of humor to raucous jokefest to fielding questions from the audience were: • Robb Armstrong , crea1or and cartoonist of the syndicated comic strip jump Start • Dr. Lawrence E. Mintz, editor of H11111or: f11tenwtionaljo11rnal of J-11111101" Researcb, professor of P;igc 12 WI N TER 200 1

Mintz explained that Americans arc good al using comedy to transfer conflict from a threatening environment to the safe venue of humor ''Humor has been a response to immigrants , to racial and gender disharmony, to marital discord-as a people we have always used humor to deal with very important issues.'"

Across campus in a lunch time discu.~sion, Cohen met with students from several philo.~nphy classes and members of a philosophy duh to explore comedy as art. "\\/hat it is like to laugh at a joke," Cohen proposed, "'is very similar to a response to art .

There is no such thing as a joke that doesn' t require an audience to bring something to it."'

Among those attending Cohen's lecture wa.~Larina Orlando, A\\7'00, who as a Richmond senior last year had submitted the prize-winning question to the QueM committee. Her '¡truth in the eye of the beholder'¡ entry won her $23,360, the cost of a year"s tuition then at Richmon d. Now a graduate snident at the lniversity of Virginia in French literature, Orlando

returns to campus periodically for some of the special events inspired by the question she had posed.

After Cohen 's talk, Orlando admitted that she had had no concept when she submitted her question of the hoopla that would result if she won. "This thing just seems to be inexhaustible;' she marveled. "I could see when l thought of it that the question could be related to all fields of study-which was one of rhe requirements - but the wide variety of headings under which the topic has been pursued has totally amazed me."'

Orlando says that too many students come into the door at college looking for answers, without realizing that they need to ask the right questions first. ''l had a professor tell me," she says, "that you never get anywhere in life if you don't know how to articulate a good question.~

Meanwhile, the quest for truth at Richmond has been, as Tomlin termed it, "far-reaching." Last year'.~ series of special programs on the subject featured a symposium searching for the truth to be found in the Thomas Jefferson/Sally Hemings

debate, bringing to campus DNA experts, authors, scriptwriters and historians involved in exploring the contrnversy, as well as representatives from the Monticello Foundation.

The Tomlin appearance this fall \Vas the "marquee" event in the series and also the most accessible treatment of the subject for the widest audience.

Though campus-wide participation in the current Quest will continue through the spring term , the major public events of Quest 2000 will culminate in January 2001 when the University brings syndicated columnist ~folly Tvins to the Modlin Center for the Arts in a program devoted to political journalism, truth , spin and what really happened in the 2000 elections (see article, p. 3).

Interspersed among the two years of national publicity and headlining events on campus have been a surprising variety of Quest-related activities sponsored by many of the University's various departments and schools. A year ago, two prominent mathematicians visited campus to debate the true nature of mathematics. The modern languages department has supported a Latin American film festival exploring

"Truth and the Lens." The psychology department is offering a Quest-related speaker series, and the University libraries have supported a book-andauthor presentation.

Q

uest has also been incorporated to both greater and lesser e in University classroom.~, from speech to biology, p.~ychology to modern languages.

In political science, associate professor Dr. Daniel J. Palazzolo found the Quest question particularly appropriate during his classroom discussions of the recent political campaigns. ''\Ve explored the use of

truth in the realm of attack,'" Pala7:Zolo says. "There were a number of issues of truth in politics in this campaign, especially with respect to advertising.

The students did some ad watches and concluded that all negative advertising is not bad, just the untrue negative ads. By Election Day, though, I believe we were all prepared to accept the basic point that deception is alive and well in the media:¡ Biology assistant professor Dr. Jeff Elhai has also been touching on issues of truth in his clas.~es, leading his students to an under.~tanding that the ultimate arbiter of tmth in science is testing. 'It's been hard for them to accept that something in the book isn't true until we test it against reality;

Even the presentation of an honorary doctor of fine arts degree from the University took on a comic twist in Lily Tomlin's presence.

While cameras from "CBS Sunday Morning" recorded the event for airing six days later, Tomlin stood alongsid~ President William E. Cooper, lip-synching her tong list of professional credits as he read them aloud, responding to other parts of the recitation with rubberfaced reactions, and interrupting with quip after quip as the audience roared. When Dr. Cooper's microphone briefly lost its sound, Tomlin stretched her lapel mike, and the academic robe attached to it, toward him and advised, "Speak right into here. " Cooper eventually admitted defeat and took over the role as straight man. "Lily and I will be appearing next week in Akron," he intoned, "and on following weeks in Cleveland, Dayton and Cincinnati."

associate professor Dr. Michael Kerckhove have jointly planned a Quest course titled ''Gogel, Escher and Bach,'" a look at the truths of math ematics. art and music.

Theirs is far from the only course to be designed around the Quest program; in fact, the University has provided incentive grants to fund some of the more interesting ideas for Quest-related classes. Hall thinks that about 20 such classes have been taught either last year or this, some grant-funded, some not.

They include a biology course called "Truth in Art and Sdence ," to be offered in the spring and raught by biology associate professor Dr. Roni J. Kingsley and art history professor Dr. Stephen Addi.~s.Also in the spring, Dr. Robert S. Alley, R'53, profes .mr emeritus of humanities. will offer a continuing studies course in biblical myth, legend and history: "Faith Claims in a Democratic Republic and the Historian 's Quest for ¡Truth."'

Dr. Sydney Watts in history, Dr. Peter Smallwood in biology, Dr. Erik D. Craft in economics and Dr. Catherine L. Bagwell, AW"94,in psycho logy have comhine<l efforts to create "The Truth ahout Courtship, Sex and 2'-farriage."' l\Iodern language 's Dr. Aurora I lermida Ruiz is offering a Spanish course called "True Lies: Fiction and Truth in Don Quixote. " Quest participation has even extended to the University's libraries . .Melanie Hilner, in the Science Library, was part of an effort to pull together books from that library re lated to the Quest theme. "A very interesting list was generated from that effort," says Hilner. "We came up with some books we hadn't thought about in that way before. and we discovered others that we should have had and didn't." The books gathered by the Science Library, along with collections from other University libraries, ended up a.~parl of a display of Quest -related materials at Boatwright Library.

Other schools have contacted Dr. Cooper, and the University is actively talking up the Quest idea when the opportunity arises-for example, at a meeting of school administrators held at Richmond last summer. "I believe Quest could provide a pipeline from the University to key high school students who are hungry for challenge, just the kind of students we want to attract," Dr. Cooper says.

Cooper also sees the Quest as a way to enhance the University's reputation: National publicity has already resulted.

"But ultimately," he says, "Quest should energize and make more coherent learning experiences across the campus, challenging our students {o think big and think deeply. This is a grand experiment, and the Universi{y should have great cauldrons of experiments going at all times.~ "I love the various directions all this has taken off in," Cooper adds. "An idea is fruitful if it leads to unintended consequences that support the original premise. And this first Quest has certainly done that."

President Cooper is gratified that the response to his first Quest program has been an enthusiastic one, both on campus and off "If you can get 2 percent of an intellectual community Interested, you've got a foothold," he says. ''But certainly anything this ambitious is not a turnkey operation. l\fotivating a campus is not simple. I.earning to ask questions is not simple. For the 2002 Quest, we'll try to develop the process more fully, but I'm more than satisfied with what we've accomplished so far."

In looking over results of the first Quest that he found especially pleasing , Cooper pointed out a greatly increased synergy among certain departments. "One of the problems all college presidents face is bringing departments together," he says, ¡'a nd Quest 2000 has definitely added synergy."

To institutionalize the Richmond Quest experience, the University's strategic plan, adopted last May, calls for creation of a pennanent endowment.

An unexpected benefit of the Quest idea , and another particularly satisfying to Cooper, is that a number of high schools and colleges have approached him with ideas for Quest programs of their own. John F. Kennedy I ligh School in Berlin, for instance , designed and promoted its own Quest question; Cooper was invited for its inauguration. A school in Valparaiso, Ind., has adopted Richmond's truth theme for its initial Quest , and Richmond-area Atlee High School is working on a question related to Virginia's Standards of Learning tesls, a controversial education issue throughout the state.

"C'

r

or students and faculty who might be planning to enter the competition for a new question, Dr. Cooper offers some guidelines. "The question must be appropriate University-wide ,'' he says. ''It must be applicable in all five schools and colleges.

"It should also be good enough to have a long-term life. It must have 'tread.' If something is worth thinking about for two years, it's worth thinking about for five years, or for life. I hope, for instance, that whatever the focus of the next Quest, Richmond students will continue to think about the nature of truth for years to come.''

Tomlin's precocious character Edith Ann may have had the last word on the subject, though, in the comedy symposium's closing remark: ;'The truth can be made up if you know how. And that's the truth!"

Among Richmond's most recent students well on lhe way to making names for themselves as journalists are Anne E. Chiappetta, A\'17'02,who already has held two major internships and \Vorked at ABC headquar-

"The University of Richmond has

allowed me to be involved in every activity l could fit into my sched ule," says Chiappetta , who is double-majoring in journalism and political science . ''1 have learned hmv to work hard inside and outside of the classroom."

Chiappetta, who grew up in Fairfield, Conn. , interned as a production assistant with ABC's Good Mor11i11g, America in New York last summer. Eager to get closer to the political scene-and on track to graduate early- she took an internship with ibis lf-Cekin Washington, D.C., for the fall semester. In this job, she worked closely with anchorwoman Cokie Roberts, "doing a lot of research and ,vire -watching,"' Chiappetta says.

"One day, l was working with Cokie picking clips for an interview she was going to do with [Demo-

cratic vice presidential candidate) Joe Lieberman, " Chiappetta recalls.

"Cokie was actually listening to my input and using it to make decisions.

I real ized how cool my job was."

"Annie is just a treat, " says Cokie Roberts, who has become Chiappetta's mentor, "and she is \Vonderfully helpful. So many young people come in thinking they're the next l't'ler Jennings -o r, they're afraid to open their mouths. Annie is confident without being overbearing."

In October, ABC headquarters¡ special events department hired Chiappetta as a paid assistant to the production manager for election coverage. She new back to New York for the final days of the presidential campaign.

"I worked 13-plus hours a day. doing everything from buying props to helping pick out stuff for the set," Chiappetta sap,, adding that getting summoned to ABC headquarters for the election "was really a dream

come true . The people here are ovenvhelmingly talented, and I am working with them .

Sometimes r have to pinch myself.'"

After the election, Chiappetta returned to Washington, D.C., to conclude her internship with This week. She planned to come back to the University in January to resume her studies.

"Never in my life have I met two more dedicated professors than !\like Spear and Steve Nash," she says.

"Every day I apply something one of them has taught me into my work and personal life."

Richmond'sjournalismprogram is small but significant, with Nash and Spear the only full-time faculty members. However , they are assisted by a cadre of adjunct faculty who work in local media, who teach students the fundamentals of copy editing, public affairs reporting, feature and magazine \Vriting, broadcast news and computerassisted reporting, among other topics.

Nash, who holds a master's degree in journalism from the University of California at

ABC's Cc>kie Rc>berts

Berkeley, has written and reported for a number of magazines and daily newspapers.

Author of the 1999 book Blue Nidge 2020: All Owner's Manual , he

came to Richmond in 1981. Spear, who earned a master of arts degree from the School of Journalism at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, was a reporter and editor for several metropolitan daily newspapers in the United States and Europe. He has taught at Richmond since 1983.

At Richmond, journalism majors are required to take 27 hours in the major. This enab les students to "be intellectually curious," Spear says, and explore other academic areas in the liberal arts that further enrich their education. '"\Veare very eager to get students" from schools like Richmond, says ABC's Roberts. '"Liberal arts graduates bring a good solid educational background to the field.

They know not only how to wr ite. but also hmv to think."

"These students alre ady are bright "'hen they come to Richmond,~ Spear says. ''By graduation, they're well prepared for any journalism job in the country."

"A lot of this business is chance and luck, " he adds. "But it certainly helps if you're dedicated, hard working, energetic and resourceful. '" "Some people think that because Richmond isn't a 'journalism school." its journalism program can't compete," says Jennifer Hoyt, a former Collegian editor. ''But at Richmond , 1 could drop by my journalism professors ' offices any time 1 wanted. Not only did they knmv mr name, they knew me as a person and well enough to recom-

mend great internships that suited my interests."

Hoyt, another journalism and political science double major , grew up in Bethesda, Md. She held several internships as an undergraduate, including one with the Pew Center on the States , an initiative of the Pew Charitable Trusts adminis1ered by the University. In this position, she researched the 50 state governments for stateline.org, Pew·s online source of state government news. She also helped compile the daily roundup of state government news stories from more than JOOnewspapers, and wrote :1bout state ethics laws. '·11was a fantastic learning experience ,n Hoyt recalls. '"Ifs so easy to get wrapped up in the national government and forget that many important policy decisions are made at the state level."

In early September, Hoyt began her internship with the Houston Chronicle , the ninth largest U.S. newspaper, through the \'<: 'ashington Center for Politics and Journalism.

"The program's mission is to teach young journalists about politics so that they will become beuer political reporters ," she says. ~Two mornings a week , I attend seminars on political issues ranging from campaign fund raising to the role of interest groups, to myths and realities about voting," she says.

'The rest of the time, I work in the Washington bureau of the Houston Chronicle , reporting on Capitol Hill issues.

"Ifs thrilling to cover events at the Capitol, interview members of Congress, and watch history being made," she adds. "I covered an event at the White House the other day.

Just being there was pretty amazing.'"

"We're fortunate to have her ~ as an intern, says Ho11sto11Chronicle bureau chief John Henry. ~She's helped us on a number of stories. " Hoyt has covered immigration issues, the Million Family March , the World War II Memorial groundbreaking , the White House 200th annjversary , and the FirestoneBridgestone hearings. She has completed about 20 stories as so le reporter and five have appeared on the front page of the newspaper. '"Jennifer is very talented, wellorganized and thoughtful , and she has a good career ahead of her ," Henry says.

Hoyt's internship \Vas scheduled to end in December , and she was unsure what would happen next. ·' 1 know I want to stay in Washington," she says. "'I'm looking into print and on line reporting positions, but I am also keeping my options open. I'm young and have my entire career in front of me .''

Meanwhile , Hoyt is confident that her education will enable her to succeed. "The University of Richmond expanded my abi lity to

think," Hoyt says. "I know that sounds simplistic, but it's very true and very important.

"My journalism classes taught me how to write," she adds. 'The journalism program offered me the opportunity to work closely with my professors , who challenged me and encouraged me:·

"Working on 7be Collegian and in the journalism department was a constant reinforcement of editing and writing skills," agrees Chris White , AR'98, who served as the campus paper·s opinion editor , managing editor and editor-in-chief.

"And I can't stress enough the importance of the ethics class, particularly in opinion writing. " White , who grew up in i\-fedia, Pa., double-majored in journalism and history . After graduation, he became a reporter and editor for the Bureau of National Affairs. Then, he moved to the Washington Post Writers Group as a production administrator before receiving a promotion to become manager of editorial production in September 1999.

White's daily duties involve copy editing and proofreading columns written by nationally known writers, including David Broder, Ellen Goodman , Neal Peirce , Jane Bryant Quinn, William Raspberry and George Will. "Once I've finished , I go over any changes or suggestions with both my boss and the writer t White says. "Then, once we're all dear , I send the column out to subscribers.

Retiring after 27 years, energetic alumni director Jane Stockman has conducted a comprehensive program

Jane Stockman and Stephanie Bennett Smith, who worked closely together as executive

director of alumni affairsand \VesthamptonCollegedean1 once shared with each other their secret fantasies of what they'd like to do when they "grow up." Bennett Smith wanted to be a ballerina; Stockman dreamed of being an orchestra conductor.

For 27 years, Stockman has done just that. She has "conducted a beautiful srmphony'¡ directing alumni programs at the University of Richmond, said Bennett Smith. She and others spoke in tribute to Stockman this fall at a dinner in the Jepson Alumni Center,

honoring Stockmanupon her retirementand celebratinghe:rdecades of alum,niJea<lership.

as teen-age and camp director for the YWCA in Oanville, Va., hut it was her

appointment as director of alumnae relations for Westhampton College in 1973 that was to he the defining event of her career.

"\"'hen I came on board," she recalls, "the University was changing so much because of the $50 million gift by the E. Claiborne Robins family. There was

a lot of planning going on, and a new direction had been set."

"Not since Dr. !Frederic w¡.1

Boatwright was elected president and later moved the campus to this location was there so much change at hand all at once," says Stockman's former supervisor, H. Gerald "Jerry" Quigg, who served for 28 years as the UniYersity's vice president for develop ment -university relations. "Following the Robins gift in 1969, it was a new era" Stockman's energetic personality fit well into the mix of activities, events and volunteers that made up the Westhampton Alumnae Association. '"I did all the alumnae work for Westhampton -all the fund -raising , all the activities, all the clubs." she recalb.

Claiborne Rohins .School of I3usiness were brought together in a 1987 reorganization, Stockman was named to the newly created position of executive director of alumni affairs , in charge of all the University's under graduate alumni efforts.

"Jane began her career at a time of great expectations and has developed a professional, well-managed alumni program over the years," Quigg says.

"Jane has laid a foundation for the future so that the University can best engage alumni, whether through the current structure or an alternative that may emerge."

Alice Dunn Lynch , W'85, the recently appointed executive director of alumni affairs, has known .Stockman well since .Sto<:kmanhired her a kw months after her graduation. They worked together through the 1987 reorganization of alumni staff, which Lynch says sailed through ~because of her leadersh ip. We [staffl didn 't realize what a daunting task it was."

I3ennett .Smith recalls that Stockman took on the job of explaining and interpreting "to loyal and sometimes intensely partisan alumnae the 'why' of change.'" While Stockman cherished and guarded "the legacies of Dean Keller, Pauline Turnbull, Fanny Crenshaw, Catherine Bell, and. other creators and proponents of the \Vesthampcon tradition, she faced the daunting task of blending this heritage with the future directions of the University."

After the reorganization, a staff position was created specifically to devdop alumni chapters, Stockman says, and it was filled by .Mark B. Evans, A'83. Prior to this time, there were several \'{'esthampton alumnal' dubs and a few University chapters , primari ly in Virginia; now, thanks to Evans' leadership, there are 35 very :ictive chapters throughout the United States.

for the University to provide :in alumni relations program, .Stockman he!ieves.

The undergraduate years ~arc times of change. The University becomes a vivid memory and a special part of who you are." Alumni want to remember the friends , associates and professors- ~an the people you met and were influenced hy"-so the alumni program helps them stay in touch with each other and the institution."

On the other hand, the institution's reputation "is shown through its graduates." Wl1erc they go, what they become, and how they perceive their education influences the tJniversity's reputation. '"For a long time, colleges and universities have depended upon alumni for financia l support and for opening doors tu all the things alumni can bring to the institution." Bringing alumni together several times a year through hoards and other events solidifies their friendships. ~111eyreally enjoy each other," says Stockman, and the associations have carried over into their professional lives, '¡permitting good things to happen;' she says.

Stockrnan 's approach in orchestrating alumni relations "has been a partnl"fship with the alumni," says Lynch. "She has been creating a shared vision with them.'"

In addition to managing the alumni associations for W'cstharnpton, Richmond College and the Robins .Schoo! of Business-each with its own hoard-she helped create an association of graduates of the School of Continuing .Studies. '"The hoards have become very strong," Stockman says "They do a lot of different projects and activities."

But work with the boards was just the most obvious o( her responsibilities through the years. She also initiated or enhanced many other alumni-based organizations , including: • The Lake Sociery, a group of volunteers who offer hospitality to international students, presem the University of Richmond Book Awards to Richmond-area high school students , and seffe as ushers and assistants for a variety of cultural events and alumni activities • The Dunlora Society, an organization of retired faculry and staff. Largely an informational and social group , ·'they enjoy seeing each other and geHing the latest scoop on what's go ing on ,'" she says.

• The Boatwrigh1 Sociery, which is made up of alumni who graduated 50 or more years ago. The society"s 20-member board meets three times a year and spo nsors an annual gathering of its membership.

• The Young Graduates Program, developed by Lynch, which sponsors social events. a cultural event and a service e,·ent each year for alumni who graduated within the last fi"e years.

As she hands O\'er the baton of alumni leadership to Lynch, Swckman nores that there is a new planning committee in place now to "plan the future for the next 27 years!"

Stockman's principal

contribu tions to the Universiry's alumni program , notes Quigg , have been in the areas of alumni board develop ment, chapter structure and managing on limited funds .

Alumni organizations are "'supportive, involved and devoted to the University," said Quigg in his remarks at Stockman's retirement dinner. ""It was not always so. Jane's personality and volunteer management skills created that climate "

Chapter de"elopment, he said, has left "a strong foundation with suppon ive volunteers that bodes well for this aspect of the alumni program."' And surviving uon a shoestring, '" Stockman always "'managed to pull off the programs each year with creativity and energy-and remain in the black.~ Stockman notes that during her time at the Uni'"crsity, se'"eral alumni assoc iations established dues systems.

The income helped make the organizations more viable , she says. Now the associations "pay for a lot of activities which the alumni office could ne\'er support , and they give money away to fund special student requests and sponsor traditional student events ."

Planning and running events took up a great portion of Stockman 's time: For example, "there are about 30 different events during Reunion \X1eekend, planned by 12 or 13 different committees. ~ Homecoming is another significant event in the alumni calendar and , she says, "The Richmond Club of the Westhampton Alumnae Association is an entity of its own.~ Large and very active, the club holds an annual Christmas parry for children of alumnae, among other regular e\'ents .

One activity that Stockman con ceived and has seen grow beyond her imagination is the annual Arts Around the Lake.

"J"m proud of that endea\'or under my regime ," she says. The annual program to promote Richmond-area artists began as an alumni activity to celebrate the Uni,·ersity 's 150th anniversar y in 1980. Now, she says, ""it has becom e a huge town -gown e, ·ent with anywher e from 15,000 to 20,000 people attending: ·

The volunteers

who ha\e worked \\'ith Stockman through the years haw nothing but praise for her leadership, friendship and energy.

"Jane is the reason why we're in the Lake Society and the reason we'ye stayed in it," says John Stultz, R"58, who has known Stockman since their days as students together at the Unin:r sity. ··she is a super -nice person: she works hard and has a lot of energy." Although most people stay in the Lake Society for three years, he and his wife, Burrell Williams Stultz, w·ss , ha\'e asked to continue well beyond that term because of Stockman ·s leadership and ability to make the organization so enjoyable .

Robert R. Martin, R'39, a membe r of the Boatwright Society, praises Stockman for her ability to plan and organize events . Having known her for

111111--------..-

many years, he observes that ·'she is known as a person who didn 't beat the drums too loudly ~ but '"didn't want anything to fail because she didn 't make it run smoothly."

A trip to Vienna and Munich with an alumni group , he recalls, could h:1ve been a disaster due to a major hailstorm, but "she had things so well organized,' ' they hardly noticed the setback. S1ockman, he says, '"always wanted to make people feel at home"' at the University. "If you were an alumnus , you had to know Jane ."

Stockman worked well with each of the University's alumni associations, says Harbara Selby Wells, W'SO, immediate past president of the Westhampton College Alumnae Association , who has worked closely

with Stockman for the past 15 years.

"No one [association] felt favored, no one felt slighted. " Jn addition , Wells say.-;"she has been a teacher to all of us." Stockman took time to reach alumnae about 1he hi.-;tory of their college-'"things we wouldn't otherwise have known."'

Sharing stories and videos of University history , Stockman '·made u.-;much better ambassadors for the University."

Stoc kman's abilit y to

work with volunteers of all age groups stems from the ease wirh which she builds relationships, observes D. Chris Withers, the University "_.,vice president for development -university relations and Stockrnan 's supervisor for the past four years. "People are attracted to her energy and excitement.""

Stockman·s role as a part of the university relations team meant that she wa.-;also a part of ongoing fund ralsing activities of !lie University Withers says that Stockman , however, was not so much into ••fund raising ·· as .-;hewas into ·'friend raising. " She was a "strong magn et'' for building the relationships necessary for the advancement of the University, he says lier achievement.s at the University have been acknowledged \Vith her induction as an honorary member of Omicron Delta Kappa leadership fraternity and Mortar Board. ln addition , the W'esthampton College Alumnae Association e.-;tablished the Jane Stockman Award in 1987. This award is presented annually on Proclamation Night to a \X'esthampton College senior ,\ho is a "hard-working optimist" in the manner of Jane Stockman Finally, the Jane Stockman Scholarship has been established in her honor (seep. 49)

What Stockman will mi ss most he.~ides the people-alumni , faculty and staff-is the campus. "I never took it for granted. I always recognized that this campus irnpires,"' .~he reflects

One thing she won't miss, however, is the amount of time the job required-especially the nights and weekends, which were nearly always filled "because that's when alumni were free to do their thing." As sponsor of Mortar Board, she welcomed the opportunity to work with a group of students, hut one year , she says , "they met at 10 o'clock at night!"

Combining professional and personal life came naturally to her , however. ~.My father was a Lutheran minister, so there was no delineation between work and play, or family and professional life- it

she got home that night , she couldn't sleep for the excitement.

As the alumni program expanded and matured, so too did Scockman grow as a professional. "Jane developed new skills, expanded her capabilities, and gained in selfconfidence and independence ," noted Bennett Smith at the retirement dinner.

Stockman ~grew into a woman who possesses the important qualities that

nity, serving on boards of the Y\VCA,Grace Jlouse and William Byrd Community Center. She enjoys music , reading, travel and spending time with her son. William, and grandchildren Carrie and J.C. A key role Stockman played that the Cniversity will miss wi1h her retirement is that of "our voice of heritage," says Withers. ·'She cares deeply about the roots of the University."' Sto<.·kman helped create a video about the University"s history and served on a 1rustee history committee. You don 't replace that institutional memory , he says, but '·you count on people with that information to create a legacy and pass it on" Stockman believes the best part of having served the University was "having a terrific event and feeling so good about it.'"As a recent example, 1,he recalls the first Boatwright Society event in the new Jepson Alumni Center. More than 350 people were expected , but she was told on the day of the e,·ent there was no way to fit them all in. Her response was simply, "We have got to do this-let's work to make this happen."' It did, and when

Wil!Lun B. Tiller, R'86 make her personal and professional accomplishments possible." These include strength of character, respect for others and a strong sense of loyalty and commitment , Bennen Smith said And her creativity and enthusiasm bring about ''new ideas , new ways of doing things, and a positive outlook toward challenges."

While most of his remarks at Stockman's retiremenr dinner were light-hearted roasting , William D. Tiller, R'86, past president of the Richmond College Alumni Association , ended on a serious note . Remembering his annual talks to graduating seniors during his presidency , he told them to look at the portraits in the alumni center and to reflect on the fact that the University was built on the shoulders of those men and \\'Omen. ''If I \\'ere president today ," he said , "I would tell them to pause a liuk longer in front of Jane Stockman's portrait. 1 would tell them that no university cm he a great university without a strong, active and vibrant alumni program. And 1 would tell them that the beautiful lady in that portrait leaves the alumni program of the University of Richmond just that way."

BEGINNINGS

like

this one are very important , but I must confess that my beginnings at Westhampton were shaky indeed. I arrived a week late and I never went throug h orientalion. And if anyone needed an or ientation to college and to this unive rsity in particu lar, it was I. Arriving from Switzerland as a junior, I was as green and clueless aix>ut American campus life as a Martian would be. Everything seemed foreign. I was jet-lagged, exhausted from my orals in Switzerland, and scared.

It was September l 960. Passionat e rivalries and heated arguments filtered out through open \Vindows in South Court as I lugged my suitcase to my new room. After all, it was an e lection year. Nixon versus Kennedy.

Gening through my first weeks of American college was like walking a maze . I learned the hard way that there was a ru le about eve111hing, after I had committed a faux pas.

Though I had traveled alone across the ocean , I was not allowed to go across the lake to the library unless I signed out of the dorm , and I couldn't have sign-out privileges until I had

l'a gt· 24 WINTER

2001

taken a test about the rules , and I couldn·t take the test about the rules until I had learned the schoo l song.

There was a kind of infini{e regression back to some starting po int that I had obviously missed out on because I missed orienrntion.

I remember my first test. I had never had a course in English before and therefore found myself in Freshman English with Miss Josephine Tucker. Two days later , I was called to Professor Tucker 's office.

"Please sit down ," she said. She held up my bluebook. ''You wrote a fine essay on TIJe Oresteia, but I'm afrnid I cannot give you credit for it." ''Why not?'' I asked. ''You didn't sign the honor pledge statement." ''Honor pledge statementr ''Oh dear ," she said. ''Didn't they tell you about that?~ I explained my or ientation deficiency and assured her that the work was entirely my own.

She took off her glasses and studied me for a moment. "Well, I believe you," she said. "You should know , however , that at Westhampton we take the honor code very seriously."

Indeed.

A,

D \\'[TH TIIAT admonition in mind I would like to make the following comments in memory of two of the finest professor., who ever walked the hallowed halls of this institution: Dr. Mary Gotaas and Dr. Jean Wright. Both spent the better part of their lin~s dedicated to the teaching of French at \'?esthampton College. Mary was mil, blond, energetic and sh arp . Jean was petite , dignified , soft-sJXJken and calm. She had a way of wiggling h1.:rshoulders back and forth as a prelude to the hardest questions.

And the hardest questions are the ones you must ask yoursel\'es. \Vhat are your moral obligations to others?

What are your moral obligations to yourself? The answers you give to these questions will detennine not just what kind of stude nt,; you are in college , but how you will live your lives.

Most of you, no doubt, know 1he story of Camus ' Stranger. Meursault kills ;in Arab on the beach. I le readily admits that he did it. lie is found gu ilty more because of who he is than because of what he has don e, and he is executed. Almost without exception the students in my classes defend

}

M.eursauh. They show great fervor in condemning thl' society that condemned him. "Yes," I say, 'They condemned him for all the wrong reasons. I agree. And there are certainly extenuating circumstances that would be rde\"ant in a proper defense. But aren't v.-e left with a dilemma?'' l\¡ly snidents give me perplexed looks.

I finally ask, '"What about the Arah?

Is he any less dead? \Vhat if we changed the point of view and wrote the story from the point of view of the Arab?" For a moment there is wtal silence in my classroom. Then a young woman says that we cannot just change the point of view like that, because then it would be a totally different story . "'My point exactly,"' I say. "\X'ecannot presume to knmv the Arab "s story, since the author chose not to tell it.

Meursault tells only his own story, and Meursault never thinks about the Arab he killed. I le ne\'er expresses remorse or regret , only ennui. Why the ennui?

Because in prison Meursault can no longer walk along the beach hl' lo\'es.

What about thl' Arab who c:111no longer walk along the beach?''

upward." Provided they lead upward is the key condition.

Indeed , my message to all of you tonight is: Become all that you can be, follow your heart and your intellect , provided your personal growth guides you to a higher plane of moral awareness and virme.

At my home in Kenn1cky, we have a room set aside for our library with two saying.~ inscribed upon our walls.

The Latin one says: SUB SPECIE AETERNITATIS -' "Jn the perspective of eternity." The Greek one says: ARETHF.ADESPOTON-' "Virtuc has no master; ' a quotation from Plato.

"In the perspective of eternity" is both comforting and challenging.

Most of the problems you encounter (such as my first experiences at \X1csthampton) during these corning months will not matter in the perspec tive of eternity. At thl' same time , thl're are things that matter for all eternity.

Your integrity. Your charac1er.

As for "virtue has no master": It means that as we evolve from birth into moral beings, \Ve will seek to do good for its own sake, not because some law said so, not because some honor code dictated we had better, but because we want to seek the Goo<l of our own free will. Why? you ask again, and I'm glad you keep asking. Because leading the good life of virme will bring happiness.

Because the Good gives meaning to our lives in the way the sun sustains life on earth.

I hope it is a quest you will engage in while you are here by taking at least one course in philosophy. For Plato, Socrates and Arislolle, education musl aim at virtue , the Good. Without honor, the degree you aspire to at the end of the process has no meaning.

"Follow your inclinations provided they lead upward."

Dr. Wheeler was invoked in so many areas of the University, Peterson says , it is not surprising he became a legend.

One story repeated down through the years has a faculty member going to Dr. \'\'.'heeler for paper clips. \':'h eele r asb the supp licant, "How many?" and starts counting them one by one out of a box.

Those stories ~are no doubt exaggerated ,'' Peterson says. ''but they are founded in tru1h. If you

"He always operated in the best interests of the University, and he had a deep interest in education,'' Peterson says. "He tended to do it right or not at all. The buildings he put up , like J\laryland Hall. were built to stay forever.~ Dr. Wheeler also was perceived as a very gruff person Mayhe so, says Peterson, but ''he was as soft underneath as he was hard on the outside.

"At one time he ran an employee loan fund out of his own pocket," Peterson says. "He had a great concern for people who were disadvantaged and was interested in helping anyhody he could help. " "As a teacher," an Al11m11i Bulletin editorial said in 196i , "he flunked his share, but his competence and fairness were so much admired by the students that usually those who failed wanted to repeat the course under him"

It was as a teacher

that Or. Wheeler first came to Richmond. Born on Oct. 30, 1904, in \X1heeling , W.Va., he received a B.A. degree from Washington and Jeffcrson College in 1926 and a Ph.D. degree from Johns Hopkins University in 1933. He began his 4i-year career at Richmond in 1928 as assistant prokssor of mathematics , serving as department chairman from 1941 to 1956. For 13 of those 14 years as chairman, he also was the University's secretary-treasurer Dr. Wheeler recalled in 1994: "In the spring of 1928, I arrived in Richmond by rail from Johns Hopkins University and rode the Westhampton streetcar to the beautiful Uni\¡ersity of Richmond , where a few Gothic -type buildings had been built. Dr. Robert E. Gaines, professor of mathematics at the University of Richmond for 40 years. interviewed me under the tall pines near the frame playhouse auditorium, which O\'er!ooked the tree -lined lake where students were canoeing and swimming.

After passing his inspection , I was introduced to President Frederic W. Boatwright, professor at the University since 188i."

He also remembered a student body of only 710, a faculty of 59 and an administration of fi\'C. There was only one men's coach, Frank M. Dobson , who coached football , basketball, baseball and track, and one women's coach, Fanny G. Crenshaw.

In 1956, he became the University's full-time treasurer From 1972 until his retirement in 19i5, he was vice president for business and financial affairs. Upon his retirement, he was named professor emeritus of mathematics and vice president emeritus for business and financial affairs.

During Dr. Wheeler's 33 years as top financial officer, the University's total assets grew from $6 million to $114 million, and its endowment grew from $2.8 million to S58.6 million.

Dr. Wheeler was responsible for most of the non -academic operations of the University: grounds and buildings, residence

and dining halls, non -academic personnel and clerical staff, as well as business and financial operations. He oversaw the construction or renO\ation of 18 buildings, including Maryland I !all, Cannon i\Icmorial Chapel and the Robins Center.

No job was too small for Dr. Wheeler's attention Dr. Edward C. Peple, R'32, professor of English emeritus, who came to Richmond as a freshman the same year Dr. Wheeler joined the faculty, remits seeing Dr. Wheeler during an unexpected temperature drop taking newspapers and kindling to unoccupied Cnhersity houses on Bostwick Lane to start fires to keep the pipes from freezing. ''In days past , that, too, was the treasurer's responsibility," Peple rememhers it's 8:30 in the morning or 3:30 in the morning,' ' once said Robert T. Marsh Jr., the University' s rel'lor from 19571973, ucharlie Wheeler's on hand if there 's a job to be done at the University."

Dr. \X1heeler recei\'ed an honorary doctor of science degree from Washington and Jefferson College in 1944 and an honorary doctor of laws degree from the University of Richmond in 1975 He was a founding member and former president of the l\"ational Federation of College and University Business Officers, and a former president of the Eastern Association of College and L'niversity Rusiness Officers. I le also was among America's first Chartcred Financial Analysts , and was president of the Richmond Society of Financial Analysts and vice president of the .'fational Federation of Financial Analysts He was a member of honor societies Pi Delta Epsilon , Sigm:1Xi, Beta Gamma Sigma, Omicron Delta Kappa and Phi Beta Kappa and the social fraternity Kappa Sigma.

From 193j to 19i6. he served as president and treasurer of the University of Richmond Board of Publications. He also served as secretary of the Virginia Institute for Scientific Research and secretary / treasurer of the E.lt Patterson Educational Foundation He was a director of the C.ollegia1e Schools, Dominion Bank, Kiwanis Club, American Red Cross , SPCA and the Bond Club. He was president of the Virginia Credit Union from I 977 to I 989 lie was deacon, elder, clerk of the session, trustee and treasurer of Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church.

Dr. Wheeler and his wife , Elizabeth, W'38, established the Charles and Elizabeth Wheeler .Scholarship Fund , and Dr. Wheeler donated the presidential chain of office in 1971.

A conference room in Or. Wheeler's honor was dedicated in Maryland llall in 1997.

Seeking solutions in summer research Sean Drummond,AR'Ol, wants

to teach art atier graduation. He became concerned about the sakry of teaching printmaking in the public school classroom because most of the substances used in the etching process are dangerous: Some are narnmahle, some are carcinogens , some produce harmful fumes .

"I wanted to look into nontoxic alternatives to these matcriab," he says. So the Richmond nati\'e applied for and received funding from the University for undergraduate summer research. Under the direction of art assistant professor Erling Sjvold, he spent his summer experimenting in !he printmaking studio of the Modlin Center for the Arts, with some sun:css .

"I found that acrylic floor wax works just as well as the traditional asphallum when used as a hardground " to cover zinc plates before etching, he says , "and I could eliminate turpentine if I used cooking oil to clean oil-based ink from th e plates. " Drummond is scheduled lO share these and other findings with county art teachers at an in-service meeting, and he has plans to create a Web site to share the information more widely.

An art major with an education minor, Drummond specializes in printmaking. In addition to student exhibitions. he has had a solo show al the Grove Avenue Coffee and Tea Co. and participated in a group exhibition at the Jewish Community Center , both in Richmond.

Studying, tre atin g liver diseases When Preston P.Purdum lll, R'80, was studying at the .MedicalCollege of Virginia,he found him.5elftalking to a friendlyphysicianwho had treated his mother for a liver ailment sc1•cralvcars earlier,l'he doctor suggested to Purdum that he undertake his internal medicine residency at ThomasJefferson UniversityHospitalin Philadelphia.

They're doing some fascinating r~arch on liverd6ea.sc,the man said.Youmight find it interesling.

Purdum rook the advice.Aspredicted, he not only found the research intriguing,but he also found his life'swork. For the better part of 12 years now, Purdum has studied liverdisea.,;e,<; and fie\\' waysto treat and prevent them as well as issues related to gastroemero!ogy.His research has included both clinicaland laboratorv work.

Today,Purdumis $!.~dying how to developbetter ~lileBeach drugs to deal with hep;ttitisC,and wayslo use exi5ting Pat Golden Baisden and medicationsmore effectlYely.

He has participatedin bothnationaland internationalclinicaltrials.The resultsof all his effortshavebeen a solidoodyof Camero1111illheajunioratNYll research,documentedin his morethan 70 publkations, thisfallandf.onnerwillhea whichindude manuscriptsand abstrJ.<.,t~. juniorinhighschool.l'ran Accordingto Purdum,the intellectualfoundation Whitc'sdaugh1er.Anne,hasjust for all this effort was built during his four under• retumcdfrornaye11.rattlie graduate years at Richmond.In fall I976, he arrived UniversityofEdinh11rgh.Shewill on campus without a clear idea of a possible career. beaseniorat\\'estharnptonin However,he did have a dear sense that Richmond 1hefall.ller,on,l{oh,alw11illl~ a1Richmond.Fran,1orksforthr was only a short stopover. Havinggrown up in nearby HenricoCountyand graduated fromJ.R. Tucker High School,he was ready to moveon to a college further from home.

"I came ro the Universityof Richmondbecrnse my l'>oatwrightl.ibrary .

Dad went there and from going to a few football Poll}'\\ infrq· GriffinIITOtC games,"he said, referringto his father,Preston P. fromDartmoutJ1tliatsheandher PurdumJr., 8'54, a business major."l thought I'djust go to Richmondone year,and then I'd transfer to some other ~chool.

"That idea didn't lastbut a few weeks. Veryshortly after I arrived,I realized that I was havinga blast, and this was where I wanted to be. It worked out fine. My parents gave me a lot of space during my college years, when I lh·ed on campus.Richmondreally\Va.<; a fun place to b'Oto school."

A key reason he stayed was the quality of the Lh1iversity's education, reflected in smaUdasses and the conunitmcntof its teachers.Purdum, a biology major,recalls"lotsof great profe<;sors.'' lie has

espedally fond memoriesof Dr.FrancisLeftwich,biology professoremerirus,and Dr,Richard Mateerand Dr.WilliamMyers, chemistryprofessors.In fact,the inspirationalqualityof these men led Purdum to bod1medicine and research. lheir lessons senredhim in good Steadat MCV,Th<)mas Jefferson Univen,ityand during two MCVfellowships,one in gastroen• terology and another in hepatology.

Withthe passageof time, Purdum, who has hoardcertifications in internal medidne and gastroenterology,also has come to value the breadth of his l«chmond education. He's discoveredthat the liberal arts courses he took-such as EngiL'i:h, politicalsciem."e and Spanish-have enriched his life.He also says tliat an economics class recentlycame in handy when he became president of a privatepractice, carolina LligcstivcHealthAssociates Locatedin Charlotte,.N.C., the group is composedof 14physiciansaffiliatedwith sevenho.spitalsin the Charlottemetropolitanarea.1.nadditionto hispoi,ition withthat organization,Purdumis med.ica!directorfor livertransplantationat CarolinasMedicalCenter.He lives\l.ithhL-;wife.andh~t>childrenin the Chari-Otte area,which he sa~ combinesthe chann ofa small tffi'.\'l1 with the culturalofferingsof a muchlargercity.

Purdum alsocontinues ro do research.He focuses most ofhL~attention on hepatitis<'.:, a virusthat affects the liver.In fact,about 3.2 millionAmericans haw hepatitis C,which in it~chronic :;ta!:,'t!is:the leading cause of livertra,usplams.HepatitisC also can promote developmentof livercancer.Once contracted, the virus is hard to eradicate.Only15 percent of adults with hepatitis C are able to getrid of it on their o\\m without drugs Purdum finds his work fascinatingand says that ultimately,eradicationof the disease maybe po.,;sible.Certainly,he willtell fOU that progress is being made. Cure rates are up, and doctors increasi.nglyare finding that the liverhas a remarkaNe abilitvto heal itself. "\Vearejust now undei:standingwhy the human immune systemis unable to get rid of the hepatitis C virus on it-;own,~he says."Wearc lt,>-aming how to ~timulatetomp•ncnts of the immune .~ystemto come up with treatment~.1am reallyinterested in understanding why tbe immune system has troubles with hcp:uirisand why certain treatment.,;against it arc effective.If you know why something happens, it's all downhillfrom there when it comes to finding

tYANm.~ 1 1!11§1

H ONOR AND INTEGRITY ON CAMPUS Rush Kidder, founder of the lnstirute for Global Ethics, defines ethical behavior as "obedience to the unenforceable.~ In my business ethics class, I ask students to reflect on this definition and to consider how it applies to their lives.

They discuss the challenges of living in an environmen t where self-regulation is vitally important hut tough to maintain.

Over four years, undergraduates face an extraordinary number of difficult situations. The internal standards they develop for resolving these dilemmas are likely to guide the decisions they'll make later in life. I3eeause the complexities surrounding important choices are sure to grow after graduation , establishing an ethical foundation while on campus is nucial.

In his book How Good People Make Tou?,h Choices, Kidder suggests chat the most difficult ethical decisions we face are chose chat pit tv.·o justifiable alternatives against one another. The most common type of "right versus right " dilemma is truth versus loyalty. \'<7henI ask student.s for examples of decisions involving truth and loyalty, discussion inevitably leads to the University's honor code. Like other schools, the University of Richmond's rode contains a non-toleration clause. It requires students lO report infractions by dassmates or to risk disciplinary action for hav ing violated the code. Such a clause is intended to create a right versus wrong decision for students by making the option 10 remain silent less attractive.

In discussing this case with students, however, it is clear that they continue to viev.· this as a right versus right scenario.

On one hand, it would be right for the srudem to be truthful about what he has seen and to submit the case to the University's Honor Council. On the other hand , the wit.ness may have loyalties to his classmates that lead him to consider silence.

In ethics class, I present this choice to juniors and seniors, asking them to decide between truth and loyalty. Again and again, my students arc nearly unanimous in telling me that they would not turn in a classmate whom thev knew to have violated the honor c;Jde. Such a response contradicts t.he pledge they made upon entering the University. Each of them knows that failing lO turn in a classmate is itself an honor violation that can poten t.ially lead to punishment. Nonet.heless, most decide to arcept the risk.

Evidently, failing to report an honor violation is not limited to students at Richmond. Donald McCabe, a professor of organization management at Rutgers and founding president of the Center for Academic Integrity, recently conducted a study on peer reporting of violations at college campuses. He and his colleagues found that at 14 schools with traditional honor codes, only one in J2 st.udents who had witnessed a violation actually reported it.

In a forthcoming article in Tbejrmrnul ofllig!Jer Education, l\kCabe and his colleagues conclude 1hat "students on campuse s that require or encou rage reporting of cheating fare strong, countervailing pressures that may lead them to believe it is not appropriall" to report violations." One explanation can be found in Kidder's definition of ethical behavior. In a literal sense, "unenforce• able" means unable to be enforced. I am beginn ing to think that this definition fits most non -toleratio n clauses .

The University of Virginia, which has had a student-run honor sv~tem since 1842, eliminated its staten~ent on nontoleration in 1979, citing the impr acticality of enforcing such a statute. In the nine years that the clause was in place, no student was brought up on charges of failing to report. The University of Richmond has had a similar history. The current chairman of the Honor Council here knows of no cases involving a student's failure to report suspected violations.

The lack of enforcernen( of the nontoleration clause damages the a1mo~phere of trust on campus and can lead to deeper problems. As McCabe says, "it allows students to conclude that the reporting requirement, and maybe the entire code, don't mean verv much ."

When this sCntimcnt takes hold on campus, the pursuit of academic integr ity is stifled. If the object is to catch those who cheat, pe rhaps we can live with this consequence. If, instead, the goa l of the svstem is to build a communitv of trust. t!1e codes must be modified. · Instead of relying on outdated standa rds that. jeopardize the core of an honor system, we must encourage students to build a culture of integrity in which unethical behavior is addressed appropriately and consistently. Eliminating the strict non -toleration clause is a step in the right direc tion . ii

The weather was chilly, but hw;iness was brisk for the 90 Richmond-area artists who participated in Ans Around the Lake in October. The annual ewnt b sponsored by the Richmond Club of Associ:uion, and proceeds go to a scholarship the club offers to a Wesdmnpion College student.

Consultation gatherings heldinkeycities Se\'enteen dinners were held in several cities throughout the fall for Richmond alumni, parems and friends of the University. The dinners provided opportunities for these constituents to meet with President \'VilliamE. Cooper and discuss the University's strategic plan.

The dinners were held along the East Coast in Ne,, York: Connecticut; Philadelphia; New Jersey: Balfonore; \~1ashington, D.C.; and Atlanta.

In Virginia, they were held in Richmond, Norfolk, Newport News and Roanoke.

At each, guest'; were asked to read the str.itegic plan, ask questions of Dr. Cooper and other University representatives, and share their ideas about the plan's Initiativesand priorities.

The strategic plan was adopted by the Board of Trustees last i\lay after a 17-month planning effort. It details how the University can propel itself into the top tier of American uni\'e rsities.

The plan stresses 1hat Richmond has tremenâ&#x20AC;˘ dous opportunities to combine liberal arts with professional education, teaching and research; extensive choices among academic specialties; (urricular and co-curricular programs; and high levels of student-fanilty interaction.

Finance studentshittheBigApple Eleven senior finance srudents took a field trip to New York in Oc1ober to visit brokerage houses and meet with Richmond alumni and friends of the Uni\'ersiry working in the financial sen¡ices industry. The student~ arc members of the Spider Fund, a unique undergraduate student organization. lne students actively manage a portion of the University's endowment in an all-L>quity portfolio, gaining valuable experience in monitoring, analyzing and investing in financial markets. ;.It was a wonderful opportunity to see the real-world application of what they are studying,~ says Dr. John Earl J r., associate professor of fin:mce, who addses the fund managers and accompanied them to New York. Earl adds that all the students had job interviews, and at least one later recei\'ed an offer.

After spending time at the New York Stock Exchange, Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs and Lehman Bros., the students attended a reception with about 40 Richmond alumni and friends. Dr. Karen Newman, dean of 1hc E. Claiborne Robins School of Business, also mended the reception.

The Spider Fund, which was established in 1993, is comprised of grow 1h and value segments. Each segment is managed by five sen iors concentrating in finance and a general manager who oversees both segments. Starting in January, members of the fund will conduct a rigorous and competiti\'e selection process to choose their successors.

Universityto construct columbarium

Meetyouralumniaffairsstaff The alumni affairs staff of .~tven is housed in a wing of the Jepson Alumni Center. They arc, seated, Ann Vazquez, office manager; Brend a L. Fogg, 8'87, associate director; and Bernard C. "Bert~ Brown Jr., R'90, associate director. Standing are Diane Mast, operations coordinator: Linda Acors. administrative assistant and Class Connections editor; Paul 0 . llagcnmucllcr, R'67, associate director; and Alice Dunn Lynch, W'85, executive director.

Brown, the newest appointment, works with alumni chapters and the Young Grad program. After graduation, he served as a project manager witl1 University facilities for nine years, then left to be director of construction operations at Tony Anthony Inc. Construction Co. He has long been invol\'ed with the alumni office as a volumeer, serving on the Young Gratluatl'. st('ering committee and as chair of the Class of 1990 five- and IO-year reunions.

At their October meeting, the Universiry's Board of Trustees approved a proposal to construct a memorial garden and columbarium next to Cannon Memorial Chapel.

President's Council of Emerging Leaders A group of 45 alumni from the last two decades has been hard at work serving as a think tank to respond to University of Richmond initiarives and advise President \'Villiam E. Cooper. Leaving their hectic schedules, they gather twice a year on campus at their own expense tu hear from .~enior administrators and offer their perspective.

"Our hope is to involve people who had not previously been engaged in University affairs since their gradua tion," says Ali<:eDunn Lynch, \V'85, executive director of alumni affairs who staffs the council. "W'e're asking for a high level of commitment from very busy and talented alumni."

Organized by the University's Board of Associates, the President's Council of Emerging Leaders includes a crosssection of alumni who h:1"e been noted for unique or distinguished achievement.~e:1rlyin their careers. They come

from academia, athletics, business, entertainment, government , law, medicine and the media. They come from East Coast.to West Coa.-,t,and even from Europe and South America. "'The group is very diverse in every way possible,""Lynch says. "lts strength is in its diversity.''

Last year, the council provided feedback to help refine the I:nivers ity's strategic plan. This year, council members are being asked to provide their input in specific areas of the L"niversity such as admission and career development, or in their specific spheres of influence. Each serves a three-year term.

Council members believe their perspec tive and their contacts can help the Cniversity. "'Our group brings a youthful exuberance that I think can help the L"niversity reach a new height,'" says Maura J\kCarthy Dunn,

\\"85, director of business development for Brown & Root Sen,ices, Halliburton. ~It has been interesting to see how similar the issues confronting the University are to issues most of us confront in business, government or at other institutions of higher learningt she says.

"Inpu t from 'end users' is an impor tant part of the planning process," says Dr. Amanda L. Graham, AW'93, a research p.sychologi.st at Brown University. ~The council serves as an ideal focus group to receive .such input.'"

Council members also appreciate the opportunity to serve their alma mater. '"l had such a positive experienl¡e as an undergraduate and was very well prepared for graduate school and my current Ol"Cupationa.\ a re.~ult,''says Graham. ''Participation in the council is an appealing way to somehow give back to the llni\'crsity."
