THE ALUMNI BULLETIN

The celebration of Westhampton's fortieth anniversary served to place in proper perspective the vision of a man and the industry of a woman which combined to make Westhampton one of the strongest of the South's colleges for women.

It was the late President Boatwright who charted the course and it was the dynamic "little lady on the hill," Dean May L. Keller, who saw to it that there was no deviation from that course. From its beginning Westhampton was a hard school. Students who were interested more in frills and folderol, who were more interested in being "finished" than in being educated, were advised to go elsewhere.

VOL. XVIII

The principle of educational opportunities for women on a parity with those offered men seems elementary today but that was not the case in 1914 when President Boatwright had to make the decision as to what kind of a school Westhampton was to be. As a matter of fact, there were very few standard colleges for women in the East when President Boatwright set out on a tour of these institutions in company with several members of the board of trustees.

From this tour he and his associates came back with the resolve that the educational standards at Westhampton College would be pegged at the highest level, that the school should make available to women the same opportunities offered to men. The passing years have demonstrated the wisdom of that decision. Today no Southern institution for the education of women enjoys higher prestige than Westhampton College.

No small part of the credit for this prestige belongs to Dean Keller who came to the college in 1914 as a winsome brunette with a cherubic smile.

If the passing years wiped the smile off her face and imparted a dash of vinegar to her disposition it was only what should have been expected in an era in which women had to fight for their rights. Now that the battling dean has hung up her boxing gloves-still the champion and still undefeated-she is enjoying her sunset years on the campus of the school that will forever be associated with her name.

It was well that she should have been present-vigorous and inspiring -for all of the activities of Westhampton's anniversary celebration. It was well too that Fanny G. Crenshaw, the last of the old guard to remain active as a teacher, should be honored with the presentation of her portrait to the University. Just as every teacher worth the name leaves behind him something of his personality, so Miss Crenshaw has given Westhampton her strength and vitality .

If, as some optimist has said, life begins at forty, Westhampton will embark upon her new career an exceptionally robust child, well equipped in heredity and environment to blaze a trail to the very peak of educational attainment. [ 1]

COMMENCE THE 223 of the graduating classes of the University of Richmond MEMBERS

will look back upon 1954 as the year that ground was broken for the Boatwright Memorial Library which in future years will tower high above the campus, its beauty reflected in the University Lake.

It was also the year that the Law School building was completed, making possible the return of the T. C. Williams School of Law to the main campus for the first time since World War I. And it was the year that Westhampton College celebrated her fortieth birthday.

It was a year of uncertainty and mounting anxieties for a world living apprehensively beneath the atom bomb, the hydrogen bomb, the cobalt bomb. The robed dignitaries on the grassy stage of the Luther H. Jenkins Greek Theater and the hundreds of parents and fnends who had come to witness the conferring of degrees on the evening of June 7 knew that the times were perilous, wondered what dark destiny might be in store for the men and women of the class of 1954.

The absence of one of the five candidates for honorary degrees was a mute reminder o_fthe world-wide uncertainty and apprehension. Walter S. Robertson, the native Virginian who as assistant Secretary of State for Far Eastern Affairs had won Syngman Rhee's support of the truce in the Korean War, was among the representatives of the free world who were locked in what seemed futile argument at Geneva with emissaries of the Communist powers.

Even the weather was uncertain. Five minutes before the scheduled start of the commencement program pelting raindrops sent the spectators scurrying from the amphitheatre to the protection of nearby trees and Westhampton's North Court. In a few minutes the rain had ceased, the crowd had reassembled and the seniors were filing into the Greek Theater to the music of The War M arch of the Priests.

The lightning flashed occasionally but the rains held back as President Modlin, reversing the usual procedure, conferred the degrees at the outset of the program. It was the smallest graduating class since World War II , but one that was marked by conspicuous accomplishment and leadership.

The commencement speaker, Dean Roger P. McCutcheon of the Graduate School of Tulane University, who spoke In Defen se of lnt eNigence, won generous applause from

the spectators out in front and a standing ovation from the faculty on the stage. Asserting that it is the scholar's duty to "challenge all accepted ideas," Dr. McCutcheon warned the graduates that to "challenge authority is to make a nuisance of yourself to many good p_eople".who "prefer to follow a party line, srnce this saves them from the difficult and arduous and lonely job of thinking for themselves."

He suggested that the "nation-wide witch hunt now in progress may have started from the highes_t motives" but that "in its present state it displays more concern for making headlines than discovering facts."

Referring to current talk about dangers of Communism in colleges, McCutcheon said he does not believe a Communist can be a "respectable scholar" since membership in the party denies the individual's right to search for truth "in his own way."

"Our college administrations are better equipped to assess such dangers and to apply proper remedies than any other body," he said. . "The scholar is not asking for anything illegal or extra-legal. He is not exempt from the ordinary process of the law, does not want to be, and should not be."

The speech finished and President Modlin's charge concluded, the seniors tarried for a while to accept the congratulations of parents and other admirers before rushing away to a round of parties and other festivities. For many of them it was a "final fling" before induction into the armed forces for others a bit of revelry before settling down to their first post-college job. Some-as many as 5_0 per cent in R_ichmond College-will contrnue their educat10n this fall in graduate and professional schools.

For those who went immediately to work the outlook was good. Salaries ranged from $200 a month to $375 with the men's average approximately $300. The starting salary for women averaged lower but there were encouraging signs, particularly in the teaching profession where the range was from $2400 to $3600 a year.

Not only the departing seniors but their elders in the alumni and alumnae ranks left the campus with a growing awareness that the University was on the threshold of a new day of even greater usefulness. Commenting on this new era the Richmond New Leader said editorially: As they tramp around the new buildings, the alumni can be pardoned a twinge of enTy

[2 ]

for the youth who will slip so easily into the fine facilities produced by years of toil. But it is suspected, they will also feel a sense of pity that the young ones can't hear whitebearded Dr. Samuel Chiles Mitchell blaze out "When you start an idea, you share the crea'. tive energy of God 1" or watch in dismay as gaunt, gentle Dr. R. E. Gaines chalked up a trig problem with one hand, erasing it with (~e other as he went along, consoling them, You must see, not copy, mathematics." They will recall how they squirmed in pain while one of Dr. R. E. Loving's iron hands gripped their shoulder and the other pointed out an everyday object on the campus that moved according to the immutable laws of physics, or how they trembled as tiny Dean May L. Keller tossed her head, tapped her foot, and snip-snapped excuses for breaking Westhampton's inexorable laws. The school may have been short on bricks and mortar , but it was long on brains ( as it is now), and those pillars of wise counsel stretch in a majestic colonnade through the years.

There will be sorrow that Dr. F. W . Boatwright, the school's president for 51 years, cannot see the spectacular af.termath of so much preparation, but that, too, will be tempered by the knowledge that as he and his colleagues lavished their energies on the University of Richmond they were doggedly certain that they were dealing not with dreams but only with the very advanced stages of reality.

Just as today, slowly but surely, Dr. George Modlin and his cohorts are working to Jill the gaps in the master plan.

Already the largest privately endowed institution of higher learning in Virginia, with assets well past $10,000,000 and an extensive building program under way, the University will have real cause for celebrating next year its 125th anniversary.

Just as Westhampton College had real cause for celebrating at commencement forty fruitful years as the women's undergraduate division of the University of Richmond.

There was a great deal of looking back as the ladies relived the four decades, stretching from the hobble skirt to the bikini bathing suit. But there was even more looking forward as they came to grips with the anniversary theme: "Today's Challenge to the College Woman."

Some facets of this challenge were examined at a remarkably well-conducted round table discussion in Cannon Memorial Chapel on Alumnae Day, June 5 (see page 4). Later at the anniversary luncheon (page 5) Mrs. May Thompson Evans, '21, general chairman for the celebration, discussed Westhampton's future for the decade 1954-1964.

"During the past forty years," she said, "Westhampton women have been prepared for the responsibilities of their times. But times have changed. The challenge of to-

MENT 1954 morrow is not the challenge of today or yesterday. And the college for tomorrow may need to be as different as the college of the past forty years has been from the female institute of last century. We recognize, of course, that the impulse of education remains unchanged: man 's right to knowledge and the free use thereof ."

Turning toward Dr. Modlin and Westhampton's Dean Marguerit e Roberts who were seated at the head table she pledged to them the assistance of the alumnae "as you devote yourselves to the fashioning of today's Westhampton for tomorrow's living ."

University of Richmond men , who had con ducted their Alumni Day activities separately on their side of the University lake, joined with the ladies for a joint dinner climaxing the anniversary celebration. Guests of honor were three members of the University faculty who have served for 25 years - Dean Raymond B. Pinchbeck of Richmond College, Dean B. C. Holtzclaw of the Graduate School, and Dr. Robert F. Smart, chairman of the department of biology. Also at the head table was Dr. Cullen Pitt, '01, whose forty years as University physician span the lifetime of Westhampton College.

The speaker was Vera Micheles Dean, author and editor of the publications of the Foreign Policy Association, who discussed Today's In ternational Challenge.

Calling attention to what she termed "the fashion" to "deplore the mistakes the United States is said to have made in world affairs," Mrs. Dean recorded herself in emphatic disagreeme nt with this "deprecatory and often cynical attitude." She saw no reason why "we shou ld go around, either at home or abroad, in sackcloth and ashes, saying that this country is always wrong, or that the Republicans or Democrats, as the case may be, are guilty of treason because we did not always achieve the goals we set for ourselves."

She thought that, on the whole, the United States had turned in a "creditable performance" on the international stage.

She cited "t he Marshall Plan, the defense of Greece and Turk ey, the establishment of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the Berlin Air-lift, Point Four aid to the underdeveloped areas of the world, the struggle for the independence of South Korea, and cooperation in many spheres with the United Nations."

To her the "most fundamental struggle of our times" is "t he struggle between the nation state and the international organiza -

tion ." She predicted "an effectively functioning international organization before the close of the century. " The following day the commencement program continued with the baccalaureate service in Cannon Memorial Chapel. The sermon was preached by the Rt. Rev. Walter H. Gray, '27, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut, who suggested that all mankind is suffering from Schizophrenia.

"We spend millions of dollars to fight Communism," he said, "yet through such things as support of unpopular governments abroad and racial tensions at home, we continue to create conditions in which Communism breeds best.

"We set up tremendous world-wide plans to relieve human suffering; but we also build the mightiest war machine of our peacetime history to promote human suffering. We rant against dishonest public officials who accept graft, yet even the so-called 'best citizens ' frequently devote strong efforts to find ways to get around the income tax laws.

"We deplore the number of young people arrested for drunken driving and we give cocktail parties for teen-agers .

"We set up such incredibly effective means of crime detection that the F.B.I. has almost

become equal with the all-seeing eye of God; but we load our magazines with sex pictures and fill our radio and television programs with ample instructions as to methods of committing crime and escaping detection.

"We say in our creeds that we believe in the life everlasting; but we bewail the fact that we have lost forever the beloved one who has died, ignoring our supposed faith that such ones have gone back to the Father who created them, and forgetting to be grateful that we have had the privilege of having had them with us so long ."

Bishop Gray was one of four men who received honorary degrees the following night in recognition of distinguished service in the ministry, in education, and in social service. Both he and the Rev. Lynn C. Dickerson , '17, pastor of the Harrisonburg (Va.) Baptist Church, received the degree of Doctor of Divinity. The degree of Doctor of Science was conferred on Dr. Henry E. Garrett , '15, chairman of the department of psychology at Columbia University, and Raymond F. Hough, superintendent of the Virginia Baptist Children 's Home at Salem .

The honorary degree of Doctor of Laws will be conferred on Walter Robertson at a later date .

DOCTORS ALL. Honorary degrees were conferred at commencement on (left to right) the Rev. Lynn C. Dicker son, ' 17, pastor of the Harrisonburg Baptist Church ; Bishop Walter H. Gray, '27,' of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut; Dr. Henry E. Garrett , ' 15, chairman of the psychology department of Columbia University, and Raymond F. Hough, superintendent of the Virginia Baptist Children 's Home at Salem. Dickerson and Gray received the Doctor of Divinity degree; Garrett and Hough , the Doctor of Science degree .

and Community Today'sChallengein the Professions

By DOROTHY V. KNIBB, '27

T

ODAY 's college woman faces an unprecedented challenge to emp loy her skills and energies in broadening her professional and community services and in deepening her understanding of the wide world in which she Jives, according to the four distinguished women who participated in the Fortieth Anniversary morning panel. Highlighting several different aspects of the general topic, "Today's ChaUenge to the CoUege Woman in Professions and in the Community," the pane] was held in the Cannon Memorial Chapel on Jun e 6. Besides alumna e and faculty, it was attended by friends of the college among the various women's civic and professional organizations in Richmond.

Dr. Emily Gardner, '18, chairman of the Richmond City Board of Public Health, was moderator. Panel members were Lucile Petry Leone, Assistant Surgeon General and Chief Nurse Officer of the United States Public Health Service, and a member of the Commission on the Education of Women; Katherine Haeseler Stone, Member of the Virginia House of Delegates; Florence Boston Decker, ' 17, President of the Board of Trustees of the Virginia Home for Incurables, and Mem ber of the Board of Trustees of the University of Richmond; and Elizabeth Shirley Enochs, United States Delegate to the Inter-American Economi c and Social Council, and United States Delegate to the loter-Arnerican Insti tute for the Protection of Childhood.

Leading off with a discussion of the challenge to women in the professions, Lucile Petry Leone called on college women to examine the values of what they do, to develop the human-relations potential in their own field, and to relate these factors to the larger goals of progress in American culture. Speaking from insid e one of the health professions, Mrs. Leone said that the present-day concept of health includes emotional, mental, and spiritual welfare as well as physical health.

She emphasized that the goals of the health professions have been expanded to include health education and maintenance and prevention of disease as well as curative medicine .

"The challenge to the coilege woman in a profession," Mrs. Leone said, "lies in deepening the meaning of the values which are the basis of its existence and in establishing the human relations through which these values operate and are communicated." Nursing is a constant practice of the principles of democracy, she continued, because the nurse aims to understand the patient in relation to his own needs and purposes and thus communicates the values of nursing to her patient.

"I was as much nursed by what my nurse was as by what she did," an eminent philosopher was quoted as having said.

HLU11anrelations in nursing are paralleled by those in other professions, Mrs. Leone

emphasized. She urged professional women to guard against too narrow a focus on their own concerns in this "age of explosion," when change and growth are rapid and new personal adjustments constantly necessary.

Of interest to all in the audience was Mrs. Leone's report on the Commission on the Education of Women, founded a year ago for the purpose of examining the impact of social change upon women and defining more clearly the American woman's expectancy for herself. Through research, experimental programs, discussions and conferences at both coUege and professional levels-a nd on the basis of information collated from the various sources-the Commission hopes eventually to point the way by which women may contribute more adequately to the betterment of our society.

The first woman member of the Virginia House of Delegates in twenty years, Mrs. Katherine Stone, directed h er discussion specifically to the educat ion of women for community service. A girl enters college, Mrs .

Stone said, with training "w hich has already made her curious and interested in the wider community .... She will need to speak and write clearly. She should know how to type well, how to cut a stencil, how to churn a mimeographing machine, how to organize and file materials . ... " While continuing her formal education, Mrs. Stone continued, the young woman should learn the elements of parliamentary procedure through participation in campus organizations. But the overriding goal of her education should be the exploration of ideas and the development of a sense of purpose.

The well trained woman, though married and busy with children , may have a schedule flexible enought to permit h er to participate in such community projects as a cooperative nursery, PT A, Community Chest, Red Cross, or the polio drive. In no sense recommending that the educated woman become a professional "joiner ," Mrs . Stone suggested that she affiliate with one or more organizations besides her chur ch and the PT A ; and that she choose a political party and assume some responsibility for the election of good candi dates for public offices.

When her children and home come to demand less of h er time, the average woman should have reached the prime of her effectiveness and may be reasonably free for sustained community leadership. "She is then America 's greatest resource for improving our kind of civilization," Mrs. Stone said, " ... our highly potent weapon for increasing the sum total of the good lif e."

Florence Boston De cker, '17, herself a splendid expo nent of her thesis, told how the college woman meets the challenge of the city community . Mrs. De cker looked into Richmond 's history for inspirational proto[ 4J

types of today's community-minded women.

She spoke of a group of women who, with limited forma l training and against almost insuperable .odds, made important contributions to the growth of the city of Richmond in health, educational, and civic affairs.

Mrs. Decker cited the examp le of Captain Sally Tompkins, who founded the Robertson Hospita l to care for the Confederate wounded; of Lila Meade Valentine , who worked for women's suffrage; and of Mary Cooke Branch :Munford, the first woman member of the Board of Visitors of the University of Virg inia and of the Richmond School Board.

"They accomplished so much in an era when life was most difficult for their race," Mrs. Decker said in reference to two negro women, Virginia Randolph and Maggie Walker, who pioneered in education and banking, respectively. Mrs. De cker likewise paid tribute to Richmond 's distinguish ed novelist, the late Ellen Glasgow; to Agnes Randolph, Nannie Minor, and Sadie H eath Cabaniss for their work in the nursing and pub lic health fields, and to Miss Jennie Ellet and others in the educational field. "They accepted the torch and carried it high, " she said. "We have equally challenging opportunities today."

Speaking on the challenge to college women in the world community, Mrs. Elizabeth Shirley Enochs emphasized the contribution college women can make towards strengthening the basis of understanding between our country and other parts of the world.

When abroad, Mrs. Enochs said, every American woman should feel the responsibility of being an ambassador of good will and und erstanding. In this role, she has to help live down uncomp limentary myths about American women. Engendered by movies or by rude and thoughtless tourists, these myths present Americans as having little sense of moral and spiritual values or love for family life, lacking in proper sensibilities in dealing with people of other cultures, and desiring only money and superficial pleasures.

American women who stay at hom e can do their part to strengthen the basis of family life and illustrate the acceptance of civic responsibility as a means of dispelling these uncomplimentary myths. Today many foreigners are close enough to our lives in our own home towns to be susceptible to the truth of what is really there.

"T his, I think," she said, "is the real challenge faced by college women with respect to that larger community that lies beyond the challenge shores of our own country-the of promoting knowledge and und ersta nding of the kind of people we really are and of the kinds of things we do, and of helping our own people achieve greater knowledge and understanding of people of other lands."

HThisIs The Storyof a College

"

By EVELYN BOATW RIGHT LYNCH EFORE the program begins, look quickly through the gymnasium doors at Keller Hall. Flags of all the United Nations line the sides, with potted palms beneath; more long white tables are crowded end to end and topped with flowers than ever seen in this massive room before. But your eyes are drawn to the far end of the room where hundreds of yards of red and blue bunting are draped from sides to a center focal point -a huge, hand-painted U. of R. seal, announcing Westhampton 's 40th Anniversary. Now is the big moment of the biggest day in the celebration of Westhampton's forty years! The Alumnae Luncheon is about to begin.

The long parade of alumnae under high banners announcing their professions is starting to enter. Nearly five hundred graduates have returned -m ore at one time than ever before-chiefly to honor three of Westhampton's pioneer professors, Miss Keller , Miss Lough and Miss Harris. The hum of excited voices advancing through the halls grows louder. In the long procession files while comments fly on the increasingly apparent fact that "Housewives" far outnumber any of the other twenty-odd professions represented!

Plans for this occasion have been in the works for months. May Thompson Evans, over-all chairman for the entire celebration, has ma de numerous trips from Washington to work out details in committee and is presiding today. In that rakish red hat, her infectious voice bubbling with enthusiasm, she seems more like a graduate of '41 than '21, as she recognizes Dr. Modlin and special guests , presents faculty members and the sen ior class who are honor guests and transfers the program to Dorothy Knibb, narrator for the Cavalcade of Forty Years.

These forty years of Westhampton 's history, now to be nostalgically re-lived and reappraised, are divided for purposes of appraisa l into four decades. For each ten-year period, one faculty member who was active during that time will recount what Westhampton offered then and one alumna from each decade will describe what we as students took away from college.

Fitting ly, Miss Keller , first dean of West hampton and head of the English Depart ment, depicts the young college in those first formative years, from the adm inistrative viewpoint. It is a challenge to the imagination to visualize the one big building, the lim ited equ ipment , the small faculty with which Westhampton began. Miss Ke ller believes the accomplishments of those early years were: recognition of the value and necessity for high academic standards; learning to adapt oneself to existing conditions and to work with the material available; the building up of a strong, democratic student body with a sense of loyalty to Westhampton

B

College; and the establishment of a tradition of good sportsmanship and a high sense of honor and responsibi lity in the student body.

Elizabeth Tompkins, of the class of ' 19, long a successful practicing attorney in Richmond, agreed with Miss Keller that high standards existed from the very beginning, that students quickly felt and respected all Westhampton stood for, and left after four years imbued not only with beautiful memo ries and abiding friendsh ips but with a sound training for adult life.

Miss Lough, Professor of History from 191S to 1948 , had prepared a characterization of Westhampton during the second decade but was hospitalized from a fall during rehearsal for this program and her paper was read by Miss Crenshaw. Outstanding devel opments from 1924 to 1934 included the launch ing and completion of the Centennial Campaign for $2,000,000, the dedication of the group of three well- equipped science buildings, the enriching of the relig ious lif e of the campus by the Cannon Memorial Chapel and of fine arts by the Luther H. Jenkins Greek Theater. Ione Steussey Wright, history major under Miss Lough during this flapper age, spoke for the students and credited Westhampton with saving her daughters from the moral, spiritual, and intellectual bankruptcy into which many contemporaries plunged .

Miss Isabel Harris, Professor of Mathe matics from 1922 to 1949 , described the material developments of Westhampton's third decade, beginning in depression years and ending during World War II, as high lighted by the completion of Keller Hall, with its Shepherd Memorial Garden. In number of students, W esthampton remained deliberately small but rich in quality and spirit. Scholarship, as always, was excellent. Twi ce as many students were eligib le to Phi Beta Kappa as could be elected with the ten per cent regulations , and yet each student received individual concentration toward developing her personality physically, socially and spiritually as well as intellectually. Ann Howard Suggs, practicing physician of Asheboro, N. C., gave a graphic picture of her college days in this era, replete with amusing reminis cences.

According to Miss Roberts, Dean of W esthampton College since 1947 and delin eator of the last decade, change has been the outstanding characteristic-change in admin istration, in faculty, in size of student body and in facilities. A new president, a new dean, a larger faculty with a greater proportion hold ing Ph.D.'s, salary increases of 83% over the ten-year period, more dormitory students with the completion of South Court and the new Court dining room and numerous other substantial changes for the benefit of students, including new courses in all fie'.ds of the

[ s]

Humanities , Sciences, Social Sciences and Fine Arts . ·Shirley Ward , graduate of ' 54 and President of Student Government this past year, assured her alumnae audience that during all this significant growth the fundamental heritage from Westhampton - intellectual integrity and a sound sense of values- remain s the same. May Thompson Evans rounded out this Cavalcade of Forty Years with thoughts on "Looking Forward" from today's educational horizon into areas looming large for tomorrow's living. And Jan e Lanier , Westhampton senior, sang "I Believe"-sa ng it beautifully, thrillingly .

Now the finale: a re-ena ctment for alumnae of the dramatization of Westhampton's forty years which had been presented earlier in the week as a 30-minute television show.

Th e purpose had been to acquaint the Richmond-area public with the facts and the facets of Westhampton's stimulating history and the presentation, on time given by WTVR , had excited much favorable comment. The script was professionally written by Carl Barefoot, Jr. , alumnus of Richmond , and the show was dir ected and produced with the invaluable help of the City Departm ent of Recreation . On TV , the dram atic effect was heightened by contemporary pictures of college scenes and events, shown on the screen under the voices of the narrator and chorus unfolding the story. On TV , too, the camera opened on cue to the rollicking skits showing Westhampton girls at work and play during the forty-year span-all parts played by recent alumnae in costumes of each era. In doing the show "live," before this large audience, these girls had to scamper, some in hobbl e skirts, half the length of the gym to a makeshift stage and try to be heard above the chucklings their costumes and their lines provoked. But in spite of production difficulties in this rep eat performance, much of the dramatic impa ct of the television presentation carried over-and this was so purely because of the fine epic quality of the script. For instance, when the narrator has said, "This is the story of a College," and has suggested the way of telling it, these lines come: "It is 1914. A year of turmo il for the world. A year of dreams beginning and dreams end ing. And in the strife of armies (Continued on page 6)

Mitchell-Metcalf Sundial Memorializes

HA Friendship¡Deep and Lasting"

By RALPH C. McD AN EL, '16

T

HER E were giants in those days! A larg.e ¡group of alumm and friends of the Umversity were reminded of this on Alumni Day when they attended the dedication and presentation of a sundial to the memory of Samuel Chiles Mit chell and John Calvin Met calf.

To former students and colleagues a host of memories were evoked by the words of the donor , Mrs. Metcalf , and by the address of appr eciation by Dean Pinchb eck. As the gentle breeze brought alternate sunlight and shadow on the sundial and the benches that surround it, one could call to memory the courtly Dr. Met calf as he walked down the path toward Jeter Hall or see Dr. Mit chell , with his short, quick steps returning from the old post office with his arms full of mail.

Mrs. M etcalf , on behalf of the families, presented the memorial to the University. In his words of acceptance on behalf of the University President Modlin expr essed the hope that there might be nurtured in this "a ttra ctive place for leisurely relaxation and the cultivation of friendships . . . a friendship as deep and lasting as that being memorialized by this gift. " Dean Pin chbeck spoke in appreciation of the two men, one of whom, Dr. Met calf, he had known when a student at the University of Virginia and the other with whom he had been associated on the faculty of the University of Richmond.

D ean Pin chbeck recalled that these two distinguished men were the "w ar babies" of anot her day, born within eight months of each other at the close of the Civil War, Dr. Metcalf in K entucky and Dr. Mit chell in Mississippi. They first met when they were freshmen and roommates at Georgetown College, K entucky. From that time to the end of their long and distinguished careers they were devoted friends.

Dr. Mitchell was the first professor to be brought to Richmond College by the young president, Dr. Boatwright, in 1895. He came to teach Latin but remained to teach history after he had persuaded the president that every college, and particularly Richmond College, should have a professor of history.

To prepare himself for the teaching of history he took a leave of absence and went to the relatively new University of Chicago where he was awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. In 1904 he had recommend ed his college friend, Professor Metcalf , as a professor of English and for the next four years the two friends were together on the same faculty and the close and intimate fam ily relationship began . In 1908 Dr. Mitchell went to Brown University as a lecturer in

Metca lt

the University of South Carolina. The school year of 1913-14 was spent as president of the Medical College of Virgin ia where he eased the consolidation of that school with the University College of Medicine . Then followed six fruitfu l years as president of the University of D elaware and in 1920 he returned to the University of Richmond and to what was probably his first love. He retired in 194 1 but continued to do part-time teaching until 1945.

Dr. Metca'.f became the first Dean of Richmond College when the school moved to Westhampton in 1914. He continued to teach and to head the English Depa rtment.

His position as Dean simply meant that he knew all the students rather than only those who had the privilege of being in his classes.

His memory for names was phenomenal. It was traditional on the campus that the freshhistory for the Session 1908-1909; then for the next four years he served as president of

clashing thousands of miles away from the hills of Richmond, a man with vision saw a dream arise. And the name of the man was Frederic \X/illiam Boatwright. And the name of the dream was Westhampton College for women."

Then the chorus speaks: " 1914. Do you remember that year?

Woodrow Wi lson was president of the United States. Dresses were longer. Everyone was singing 'K-K-Katy.' Pr ices were low-and wages, too. The younger generation was going to the dogs. But in Richmond , a dream was corning true.''

[6]

men would visit his office the first day of school to matriculate and he could call them all by name the next time he saw them. In 1915 he built a home on the campus and it was the hope and expectation of all that he would remain here for the remainder of his life. This was not to be. In 1917 he joined the faculty of the Univers ity of Virginia .

Unt il his retirement he was successively Professor of Eng lish and Dean of the Graduate School of that institution .

The first year at Virginia was saddened by the death of his only child , Victor, a 1916 graduate of Richmond College, who died while serving his country in the Navy during the first World War. Shortly after Dr. Metca lf went to Charlottesville he was elected to the Board of Trustees of the University of Richmond and served in that capacity with great profit to the institution unt il his death in 1949.

Two great inspirational teachers have been memoria lized for future generations of students: Dr. Mitche ll, the crusading liberal, the ardent believer in the perfectabi lity of man, the awaker of dormant and sometimes unrealized talents; Dr. Metcalf, the master of the apt phrase, the scholar who was never pedantic, the lover of beauty in all its manifestations. Both were gracious and courtly in manner, the embodiment of the finest attributes of the Southern gent leman.

As the exercises of dedication were closed by prayer by their long-time friend and neighbor, Dr. R. E. Loving, one felt that a portion of the spirit of each of these great teachers had taken this shady nook just off the beaten path as its abiding place on the University campus.

Scene (two girls, in 1914 dress, looking over catalogue) : 1st Girl: "Westhampton College! My, it sounds thrilling! " 2nd G irl: "Look, here's the dormitory.

That's where we'll live for the next four years. Imagine I" And so it was told- in such manner, with story of such scenes interspersed-the Westhampton's beginning, through her forty years, by narrator, chorus and alumnae in the parts of students-to ld simp ly, dramatica lly, at times amusing ly, and always effectively. If you, a West hampton alumna, missed that luncheon, you missed more than a good lunch!

TO ANSWER" HI REFUSE

By ELLEN MORRIS KEENE

"Jit

on the ground that would tend to incriminate me"these words, once familiar only in our courts, are now becoming commonplace in the committee rooms of Congress. Through them, racketeers and school teachers alike have invoked the protection of the so-called privilege against self-incrimination found in the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution. As claims of the privilege hav e increased, we have become conscious of it as never before, and some of us have even begun to wonder whether it deserves a place in our system of justice.

Th e source of the privilege against selfincrimination is a clause in the Fifth Amendment which provides that no man "shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness aga inst himself. " This does not mean merely that the defendant in a crimin al trial may not be required to testify. In the first place, the privi lege is not confined to a criminal trial , but may be resort ed to whenev er there is an attempt on the part of authority to compel a man to produce evidence against himself .

This is necessary to carry out the purpose of the provision. For examp le, a grand jury investigation may not be a "cr iminal case," but it may be the beginning of one. If a man were compe lled to testify before a grand jur y which then brought in an indictment against him, it wou ld be quibb lin g to say that he was not compelled to testify in a criminal case.

For the same reason a witness in a legislative inquiry may claim the protection of the Amendment.

Nor is the pr ivilege available only to one who is a defendant or is under investigation; instead, it may be invoked by anyone who is a witness in an investigatory proceeding .

Wit hout this extension, the stipu lation would be point less, for if in testifyin g about anot her a man were compelled to reveal that he had committed a criminal act, he might easily be laying the ground for his subsequent indictment and conviction.

Since the priv ilege app lies to both defendants and witnesses, it has a double aspect depend ing upon the character of the proceedings in which it is invoked. If the proceeding is a criminal one against the person claiming the privi lege, the privi lege is that of not being compelled to take the witness stand or to answer any questions at all ; but if it is a proceed ing of a civil nature, an investigation of some character, or a crimina l proceeding against some one other than himself , he may be required to testify, but not to give selfincriminating answers.

How do we determine what evidence is self-incriminating? The test was laid down long ago by Chief Justice John Marshall in the trial of Aaron Burr : An answe r is selfREFUSE TO ANSWER,

Mrs. Keene, an alumna of the T. C. Williams School of Law and a member of the Virginia Stale Bar, is both librarian and a member of the faculty of the Law School.

incriminating not only if it would reveal a fact which forms an essent ial part of a crime or which wou ld be evidence of the commission of a crime by the witness, but also if it would furnish a c/11eto the discovery of such facts.

M uch of the concern over the frequency with which the Fifth Amendment is invoked in legislative inquiries is due to a belief that claim of the privi lege is an admission of guilt. At first glance, this assumption seems valid, because it would appear that if a witness has never committed a crime his answer could not incriminate him. But a littl e reflection will show how erroneous this reasonmg JS. Let us suppose, for instance, that Smith, a manufacturer of soap, p lays golf one day with his competitor, Jones . The next day, Smith and Jones issue identi cal price lists, and short ly thereafter Smith is arrested, charged with violation of the Sherman AntiTrust Act. Although the two men have not at any time discussed prices, if Smith were forced to testify that he had played golf with Jon es on the day befor e the price lists appeared, he would be furnishing evidence which would lead a jury to bel ieve that he had made a price-fixing agreement with his competitor on that day. He can therefore legally claim the protection of the Fifth Amendment although in fact he is not guilty of any crime.

This is not to say, of course, that claim of the privilege cannot mean that the claimant is gu ilty, because in a great many cases the

(7 ]

privi lege is used by guilty persons. But indiscriminate attacks upon the Fifth Amendment on the ground that one who invokes it is admitting he is guilty are reprehensible, not only because they are not even correct statements of the law, but because they would make the privilege a useless right, since a defendant would know that exercise of the privilege would be tantamount to a confession. It is one thing to believe and say that the privilege should be abolished; it is anot her to destroy it by destroying the protection it provides.

Even those who defend the existence of the privilege against self-incrimination have been troubled by the thought that perhaps it is being abused. It cannot be denied that there are many gu ilty persons who take shelter behind the Fifth Amendment, but does this necessarily mean that the privilege is being abused? Everyone realizes that at times a person who h as committed a crime is acquitted and set free, perhaps to commit another crime , because a jury of twelve could not reach a unanimous verdict as to his guilt , but there are few people today who would abolish the requirement of a unanimous verdict. We realize that the purpose of that requirement is to make certain , as nearly as we can, allowing for human error, that an innocent person is not convicted. We believe it is better to run the risk of allowing many criminals to go free than to convict one innocent man.

The purpose of the privilege against selfincrimination is also to protect the innocent; if an accused person could be required to convict himself out of his own mouth, inquisitorial practices would be used by unscrupu lous prosecutors to obtain confessions from the innocent. As long, therefore, as the Fifth Amendment serves its purpose, the fact that it also serves to protect the gu ilty does not mean that it is being abused.

Another way of determining whether or not the Fifth Amendment is being abused is to consider the purposes for which it is invoked. Many persons called to testify before Congressional committees are willing to cooperate insofar as they themselves are concerned, but are not willing to inform on friends whom they believe innocent of any wrongdoing; yet they cannot confine them selves to testimony concerning their own actions because the courts have said that once a witness has volunt arily answered on some part of an incriminating topic, he must answer all questions relating to that topic.

The privilege is also sometimes claimed by witnesses who simply do not approve of the committees and feel in all good conscience that they cannot cooperate with a procedure ed on page 3 2) ( Co111in11

Round 1. Trailing . Round 2. Three-wa y tie. Round 3. Second place now. Round 4. I win!

THE WINNERAND CHAMPION MYERS, the son of a prison guard at the Federal Reformatory at Petersburg, Va., flashes a $1,000 smile as the announcement is made that he won the grand scho larship prize in the third annual University of Richmond-W RY A $7,000 Radio Scholarship Quiz.

Victory came to the Hopewell high school senior after an uphill fight. He was third in a field of three at the close of the first round.

He moved into a three-way tie after two rounds, and was in second place at the end of the thi rd round.

In the fourth and final round he slipped ahead of Kenn eth E. Burke , Jr. of Richmond (son of the Rev. Kenneth E. Burk e, '21), to win by the narrowest of margins - 110 to 105 .

Students in the packed-to-capacity Hopewell high school audito rium , who had been scrup ulously fair in their applause throughout the contest , let out an ear-piercing scream when the final result was anno un ced. Th ey knew that the $1,000 prize wou ld be a great help to their popu lar schoolmate who will have to earn his own way in preparing for a career in physical or chemi cal science.

Rodney was one of 863 students in Virg inia high schools who participated in the qualifying test for a place on the quiz program. Scholarships ranging from $150 to $1,000 and aggregating $7,000 were given to the 27 students who later engaged in the battle of wits before the WRV A microphone.

The quiz in its third year of operation won hearty commendatio n from Dr. Dow ell J. Howard, Stale Superintendent of Publi c Instruction, and from school superintendents and high schoo l principals throughout the Eastern Virginia area in which it was conducted.

Listeners, many of whom tuned in all of the 13 broadcasts in the series, were amazed at the knowledge of the contesta nts who had the right answers to most of the questions Quizmaster C. J. Gray, ¡ 33, dean of students in Richmond College, tossed to them. Most of the listeners probab ly wou ld have failed to answer the question which brought Myers $ 1,000 in the final round: "Our atmosphere is divided into three R>DNEY

layers. The stratosp here and the iono sphere are the two top layers. Can you name the atmosp her ic layer closest to the earth?"

Back came the correct answer: "T roposp here."

Each of the defeated contestants, Burke and Clyde Lee Fields, Jr. of Frank lin high schoo l, received a $600 scholarship.

In th e three years that the quiz program has been conducte d by the Unive rsity of

Richmond in cooperation with WRV A more than 2400 Virginia high schoo l students have participated. Scores of these boys and girls are now enroll ed in the U niversit y and a numb er of them are among the top students academi cally.

Both WRVA an d th e University of Richmond are looking forward to continuing the quiz next year on radio and-w hen and if a television . chann el is allo cated-on

ttOperationBLUEJAY"

By C. NORMAN WOERNER, '52

N

IS MAK I NG history again. This bleak, dreary region of 42,73 0 square miles , swept by wind and snow, is the home of " Operation Blue Jay." Here the men of the United States Northeast Command serve the Western Hemisphere as a "cold weather defense" against any belligerent nations.

Just as in past history when Newfoundland figured prominently in the destiny of the world by the landing of the first Atlanti c cable, Marconi's receipt of the first wi reless signa l at St. Johns, the first non-stop Atl ant ic flight by Alco ck and Brown , and the signing of the Atlanti c Charter in Placentia Bay, so again the importance of N ewfo undland 's position on the North American continent has been recognized by both the United States and Canada.

As a lonely " G.I." in this land of lakes and caribou, of fog and forest, I am aware of the desol atio n but at the same time conscious of the extreme impo rtance of th is outpost to the defense of North America. In the short tim e I have been in this comma nd I have seen how relatively simple an attack over the Arcti c region would be and thus the necessity for adequate def ense.

Realizing the strategic importance of this area, both the United States and Canada in World War II secured the right to establish military bases at var ious points in N ewfound land (a lthou gh a Crown colony, N ewfo und land had not at this time been made a EWFO UNDLAND

(8]

province of Canad a). So impor tant were these bases to the securi ty of North America that Newfoundland was called "The Gibral tar of North America, " "Th e Guardian of the At'.anti c," and "The Watch Do g of the St. Lawren ce."

Young Men In Action

STUTZ~ BAREFOOT Songsmiths,Inc.

By PAUL DUKE, '47 'S MON EY IN THEM THAR HILLB,ILLIES. THERE Composer Carl Stutz, '38 (right) and Lyricist Carl Barefoot, Jr., 'SO, work on another in a series of hillbilly tunes, one of which, I Love You So Much I Let You Go , was a national hit.

T

TEAM of Stutz and SONGWRITING Barefoot isn't ready to shove aside a couple of old pros like Rodg ers and Hammerstein-not just yet, anyway.

But among people who know music best there's a general feeling that Tin Pan Alley will have a nice choice spot for the rookie duo ere long.

The Stutz-Barefoot combination seems a: natural to succeed. Carl Stutz, '38, has a flair for composing music. Carl Barefo ot, Jr. , '50, has a flair for writing lyrics.

Mix the twain and what do you have? A new songwriting team that 's beginning to catch fire and win the nods of approval from the musical powers-that-be along New York's hard-to-climb White Way. It was just a few months ago that the two Carls met for the first time. Since then, they've been going at this songwriting business with the fierceness of Toscanini conducting a symphony.

By mid-June, sixteen songs were under contract with publishers. Three were on records and one-I L ove You So Much I Let You Go-was among the top hillb illy hits in the land .

Th e fact that Stutz and Barefoot can write both hillbilly and pops is further evidence of the team's potentia lities. Ther e aren't many composers who're that gifted.

Despite the newness of the team, Stutz has been having a go at songwriting for a long time. But it wasn't until this summer that he came through with the "big one" he had been searching for so long.

His Little Things Mean A L ot, a sentimental ballad, became one of the nation's top hits of 1954 and for sev!=ral weeks was rated No. 1 in the land. It has sold upwards of a million records .

Th e words to "Littl e Things" were authored by Edith Lind eman, movie critic for the Richmond Times-Dispatch. After jotting them down, she gave Carl a ring one Sunday morning and asked him to come around and have a look .

Fifteen minutes after seeing the lyrics, Stutz had the music in his mind and was putting it on paper. He didn't so much as ping the piano once.

HE

The first two publishers to whom "Little Things" was submitted turned it down as being "not commercial enough." But the third publisher, Leo Feist of New York, accepted the song and arranged for Vocalist Kitty Kallen to record it.

Then came the ballad's radio network debut by a panel of disk jockey "experts" who rate the latest wax releases. The panel didn't think much of "Little Things" and panned it. The jockeys said nobody was going to buy it.

How wrong they were!

The Kallen recording at last count had zoomed past the 800,000 mark in sales. It was the vocalist's first big record hit and has meant a handsome payoff in nightclub appearances at fees of more than $1,000 per week.

In addition to the Kallen version, there were several other records which went very well, too.

For each record sold, Stutz and Miss Lindeman receive one-half cent royalty apiece. Sheet music returns three cents on the copy and there are also royalties from performances on the big network radio and television shows. Conservative estimates place the Stutz-Lindeman earnings at $6,000 each. They may run twice that amount.

The fickle dame of fortune waited a long time befor e call ing Stutz' number. Carl earned a degree in economics, but music was his first love from the time he donned a rat cap at Richmond College.

First off, he organiz ed a campus dance band and composed an original theme song .

To handle the vocals he tapped a cute lass from across the lake. And in so doing he helped give a start to Patsy Garrett, who later sang with Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians.

The band won summer trips to Europe in 1935 and 1936 in competition with other campus orchestras.

When Stutz graduated in 1938 he packed his bags and headed for New York to try to peddle eight songs he'd written. It was no soap. No one wanted to gamb le on the compositions of a college kid.

Thereupon , Carl decided he'd best put

{ 9]

his economics to use. So he returned to Vir ginia and joined the state auditor's staff. In 1943, he switched to radio as an announcer with Richmond 's WRNL. Later, he joined anothe r Richmond station, WRV A, where he's been ever since.

It was Miss Lindeman who brought the two Carls together. She had heard Barefoot had written the words to a number of possible songs and arranged for a meeting between the pair.

Barefoot had majored in sociology and gone to work at Richmond 's WXGI as a writer of commercials. Th e station played a lot of music and all day long it was drummed into Carl's ears.

Some of the lyrics were disgustingly awfu l and Barefoot -so mewhat as a challengedecided he could do better. So he started writing lyrics himself-a nd stacking them away in a dark corner.

By the time he and Stutz got together he had 50 sets of lyrics-a nd a new job as executive vice president of the Virginia Jun ior Chamber of Commerce.

Stutz was instantly impressed with Barefoot's compositions, despite the latter 's confession that he " doesn't know an 'A' note from an 'F' note ."

Before long publishers were being bombarded with songs carrying the Stutz-Barefoot signature. Besides I Love You So Much I Let Y ott Go, two other pieces were adjudged good enough for recording- Bamboozled and Vegetable Love.

Now, a special preview on what's coming up. Be on the lookout for What Am I Trying to Forget, which is due this fall. Those who've heard it think it has great possibilities of becoming a top hit in the pops field.

Stutz and Barefoot have also composed Y 01mg Men in Action, a song being considered as the national theme song for the Jayvees.

They'll continue to make their headquarters in Richmond, Stutz wanting no part of New York after his brushoff of 15 years ago.

Stutz, 38, is married and has three children.

Barefoot is 28, a Navy veteran and-take looking for a heed, Westhatnptonites-still the "right girl. "

,000 RECORDALUMNI FUND NEARS $31 1915 Wins Again REAKING all previous records the University of Richmond Alumni Fund has passed the $30,000 mark for the first time in its eight-year history and on July 1 was only a few dollars short of $31,000.

The $30,967.25 contributed by 1385 alumni on that date compared with $27,734.00 given by 1241 alumni on Ju ly 1 of ·1ast year.

It was $1,683.35 ahead of the De cember 31 total of $29,283.90.

Although the stream of checks that carried the Fund to a record high has now slowed to a trickle , it is expected that these late checks will carry the Fund to approximate ly $32, 000 before the close of the current calendar year.

Alumni Fund is becoming in creasingly significant as a source of revenue for the University , as a supplement to the earnings on endowed funds. The approximately $3 1,000 now in hand is the equivalent, at the current yield, to the earnings on more than $700,000 in endowment.

The Fund was marked by keen rivalry among th e classes. For the sixth consecutive year the class of 1915 took top honors, with contributions from 64 .51 per cent of the class members. The class of 1911, making a strong challenge, was in second place with 56.41. On e of the best records was made by the class of 190 7 which pull ed up in third H . G. Pr ivott G.

MRS. PALMER HUNDLEY ( H elen Hancock) 415 Somerset Avenue, Richmond, Va.

Thirty-fifth

Anniversary of the Class of 1919

Pleasure took first place when thirteen members of the class of 1919 were entertained for dinner in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ne lson Sutton Friday, June 4, at West Point, Va. This was the first meeting of the class which was celebrating its thirty-fifth ann iversary. Since it was also the fortieth anniversary of the founding of Westhampton College the atte ndance was good and spirits were high. No one attended in a wheel chair , but each seemed to have acquired "bo unce" as well as "o unce."

A unique place card seating arrangement by the hostess had the even numbers move to their right three times during the meal , which was served in a screened living room overlooking the River. Talk of the last thirty-live years was interspersed with letters from absent members. Pictures of grandchildren were also enjoyed.

Fina lly the talk rolled arou nd to business presided over by Juliette Carpenter. H . Trundley read the minutes of the last reunion and offered her resignation as secretary. It was suggested that Virginia Bundick Mays succeed her and was accepted with the und erstanding that the office pass on alphabetica lly each second year.

Guests of the group, Miss May 1. Keller and Miss Fannie G. Crenshaw, contributed some hearteni ng news of the college days of yesteryear and today. After the writing of messages to Cora Walton Kayser and Miss Susan Lough , both of whom are ill, the group returned to college to enjoy further features planned for their weekend celebration.

Mr. and Mr s. Sutton received the many expressions of appreciation for their warm hospitalit y to 1919 for this the third dinner arranged for members of her class.

1920 Secretary

MRS. WILBUR RYLAND (Sallie Adkinson) 4107 West Franklin Street, Richmond, Va. I was delighted to get nice, newsy letters from two of our members.

Kina McGlothlin (Mrs. Alfred Odell) writes , " I am still Dir ector of Public Relations for Greenville County School District. Greenville is the largest county in South Carolina, with thirty-eight thousand schoo l childr en and one hundred and fifty-two schools . It has been a most interesting and stimu lating job with end less variety. I am responsibl e for the newspaper copy, for setting up the pictures, for club programs, for presenting the school program in various forms. Naturally, I have met a host of people with all sorts of interests.

"Dr. Modlin asked me to represent the University of Richmond at the inauguration of the president of Anderson College. I was th ere complete with cap and gown and hood. It had been so many years since I had worn that type of regalia My connections that I felt very self-conscious .... here (at Furman) have been very close . My father was president until his death. In add ition , my husband taught at Furman twenty-live years. Hi s students have set up a memorial for Odell which is used in buying books for the Eng lish Depart ment. I want to add to the collection as the years go on ."

Ruth Cunningham (Mrs. Roland Thorpe) lives at Virginia Beach. After reading what she said, won 't some members of our class write me too, so we can have news letters in BULLETIN more often?

"I was so pleased to see the class of '20 at last represented in the BULLETIN. Why , I don't know, since I certainly have done nothing to help us be represented .

"My life is very full, but I'm afraid not specold routine, very much changed since tacular-the I Jost my husband in 1945. I'm sti ll the perennial Vera ? As always I have more treasurer-remember hobbies than I have time for.

I have no children and my present family consists of myself and two cats, in a nine-room house, which I try to make partia lly pay for its upkeep by renting a coup le of rooms to summer guests. I also sell Beauty Counse lors products, but don 't work hard enou gh at it to get rich. The rest of my time I spend in doing all sorts of things, including Jots of church work. I have been in the choir for years and am also Choir Mother, taking small job; treasurer of care of th e vestments-no the Woman's Auxiliary, and doing anythi ng any¡ one asks me to do.

"We have a delightful little Music Club, and since its beginnin g in 1936 I have held every office at least once except that of secretary, which I wouldn 't take on a silver platter. At present I'm treasurer. It is Jots of fun keeping up with your music, as I'm compelled to do someth ing at least once a year, so I inflict a few piano solos on them every now and then, the latest being a group of Chopin preludes.

"My latest hobby is weaving. I have a loom that takes up a big part of a room , and have made some rather nice things on it."

1922 SeC1'etary Miss JEANETTEHENNA 3902 Chamberlayne Avenue, Richmond, Va .

A letter from Dorothy Winfrey Couble brings news of some of the members of her family. She writes, "Did you see in the papers the article about Martha Winfrey who was the only one in Richmond to pass last fall's examination for Cer-

ti lied Professional Secretary ? She is one of my sisters who attended Westhampton in 1921-1922.

"11y other sister, Sally, graduated from West hampton in 1928 and is a most successful teacher of English in Englewood , New Jersey. She gets articles published in English journals, etc., and has steered a number of students to Richmond College. She got her M.A. from Northwestern.

CENTENNIAL OF RFI-WCR TO BE NOTED BY ALUMNAE The 100th anniversa ry of the founding of Richmond Female Institute in 1854 will be celebra ted by alumnae of RFI and its successor institution, the Woman 's College of Richmond, at a three-day program in October.

The celebration will be laun ched on Friday, October 1, at a dinner which will be given the alumnae of the two institutions by the University of Richmond. This dinner will be followed by a coffee hour in the RFI -WC R alumnae room in Keller Hall of Westhampton College.

In July, 1914, the Woman 's College of Richmond transferred its property to Richmond College and was operated by the trustees of that institution until June, 1916, when it closed. Some of the students transferred to Westhampton College and its alumna e have transferred their loyalty and co-operation to the advancement of Westhampton.

On October 2 the alumnae will visit the site of the Woman's College where the building formerly occupied by the Virginia Mechanics Institute now stands and Valentine Museum which occupies two of the buildings earlier used by the College as dormitorie s. [ 19]

This t0ur will be followed by a luncheon at the Jefferson Hotel.

After lun ch the ladies will visit the home of Mrs. William Nelson at Franklin Terra ce where they will view the portrait of Dr. James Nelson, the last of five presidents who served the Female Institute and later the Woman's College . (Others were Basil Manly, Jr., Charles H. Winston , John Hart, and Salley B. Hamner.)

Later in the afternoon the alumnae will be entertained by Mrs. Douglas Southall Freeman at a tea at her home on Harlan Circle.

The Sunday program will begin with a religious service, probably at the Second Baptist Church where the first baccalaureate service of RFI was held. After church the alumnae will be guests at a buffet luncheon at the hom e of Mrs. Frank D. Epps, president of RFI-Woman's College Alumnae. President Epps and Mrs. Jack L. Epps, historian of the alumna e organization, will be joint hostesses .

(Other officers of the organization are Mrs. L. Howard Jenkins, vice president; Miss Nita Gressitt, recording secretary; Mrs . Parsons Pilcher, corresponding secretary, and Mrs. Christine McClintic, treasurer.)

DR. LOUGH HAS MISHAP Amid the festivities conn ected with Westhampton's Fortieth Anniversary celebration , the one unhappy note was the accident to Miss Susan Lough.

On Friday, Jun e 4, at two o'clock in the afternoon, all the participants in Saturday's luncheon program, "T h e Cavalcade of Forty Years," had gathered in the gymnasium of Keller Hall to run through the complete progra m. Just as the rehearsal was about to beg in, Miss Lough missed a step from the speake r's platform to the floor, and fell , fracturing her hip. A doctor and ambulance were summoned and she was taken to John ston-Willis hospital.

This mishap cast a terrific damper on the high spirits of all those gathered for the celebration . As on e of the three honorees at the luncheon , and as a most popular and active participant in any alumnae gathering, Miss Lough was sorely missed throughout the entire week-end . A love gift from those pr esent at the luncheon was sent to Miss Lough in the hospit al.

Miss Lough is making an excellent recovery. Her doctor promises that she will soon be walking again. Miss Lough 's friends are invited to visit her at her hom e at 1609 Wilmington Avenu e, Richmond.

F irst, I wou ld lik e to say how very honored and proud the Class of '24 feels to claim Eva Sand ers as one of our own. You read in the spri ng BULLETIN that she had received from Queen Eli zabeth of Eng land the Medal of the Order of the British Empire for her work as a missionary in Africa during the past 22 years. I received a not e from her father giving me this address : Ir e-Vi a Oshogbo , Nigeria, West Africa. Eva wou ld be g lad to h ear from some of you, I feel sure.

W e have at last caugh t up with Pearl O'Neal.

Elizabeth Carver wrote that sh e is lib rarian at Stuart Hi gh School, Stuart, Florida and can be reac hed at that address.

Mabel Allen writes that she is very busy with spring activities at Washington-lee Hi g h Schoo l in Arlington w here she is Senior Counselor this year. Virginia Gregory writes that she has just comp leted a four-day conference on "Recreation and the Aging " and is now an authority on what to do after you become sixty. I suggest that we have Virginia as our spea ker at our 40t h reunion!

We may need h er suggest ions worse by then. At present, everyo ne seems so busy with so many activities that we can not imag in e ever ha ving "t im e on our hands. " For the member of our class who can boast of the most varied list of acti viti es from the poi nt of view of age group s, I wou ld lik e to prese n t Ib bie lake Patterson, who is caught up in the fo ll owing: co llege--her hu sba nd is registrar at Wake Forest College; high schoo l-s h e h as two teen-age daughters in high schoo l at present; ele-

Besides her married daughter, Carolyn ha s a son who is a fr eshman at Vanderbilt University.

Inez D eJa rnett e Hit e continues to mak e the new s with her paintin g . In March she received an award in th e fine arts contest of lee District , Vir ginia Fed eration of W ome n 's Clubs for her oil painting .

Th e newest news I hav e at this writing (June 22) is that M ary P epl e ha s just won the "Why I T eac h" contest, spo nsore d by th e D ep artm ent of Virginia Am erican legion Auxiliar y. The n ewsl?aper article gave only t hi s one short, but signi ficant quotation from h er essay, " Becaus e ignorance is a stubborn en emy, teaching is some tim es difficult , ofte n di sappoi nting ; but no other wor k has such moments of inspiration and fulfillm ent." Congrat ulati ons, Mary 1 Our reunion on Jun e 4 and 5 was really fun, but we mi ssed eac h of you who could not be present. You m ay be sur e we talk ed about you, so yo u'd better be on hand five years hence. There were twelve of us: Agn es Jon es from Provid ence, R. I. , Elizabeth Cosby Carver fr om G eorg ia, Ruth Lazenby McCull och from Bluefield , Mab el Allen from Arlin gton, Vir ginia Gr egory from North Carolina; and from town, In ez, Ik ey, Norma, Wilh elmin a, M ary Ta ylor, M ary Myrtis and I. M arga ret Smith Williams joined u s Friday evening, and on Saturday for lunch eo n, Lucille O'Brien , who was with us for three years, you remember , then taught a year and came back and was gra du ate d with the Class of '25. H i ld a Booth Beale had planned to come from Cleveland , bu t had to cancel at the la st minue due to fami ly activities and lack of a " baby" sitte r. We also expected Bernie Whitl ock Bowles from Ann apo lis, but we fear Bernie was too involved with Annapo lis finals.

Friday even ing the twelve of us had dinn er at T he Downtown Club, then gathered at my house afterwards for coffee and conversatio n-so me coffee but MORE conversation.

Besides talking, we lo oked at p ictur es and read lette rs from the rest of yo u. The pictures included one of Ruth's hand some family , a married son, a married daughter, and one son at V.P.I. and Na ncy of hi gh school ag e; co lored pictures of Elizabeth's love ly home in Georg ia (l arge enou~ h for our next clas s reunion), a Red Cross window display arranged

by Bernie , as president of the loc al bran ch of the A.A.U.W. We also picked up a few news items about eac h ot her. Margaret Smith ha s become a gra ndm othe r sin ce a son was born la st D ecember to her son, Alan Gay. Margaret teaches music , you know, and was having her recital th at same evening. Mary Taylor Gills Copenhaver teaches at East End Juni or High School here in Richmond and especia lly enjoys h er work in Vocational Guidance, pla nning sched ul es for h er stud ent s enteri ng John Marshall.

She goes to App omattox every week-end to h elp care for h er mother who fell and brok e her hip about a year ago. Ag nes Jones is librari an in a new two million dollar library in Providence whe r e everyt hin g is modern both in serv ice and decoration.

Judging by h er spar kl e, I believe she loves her work. Now and then she sees Louise Wilkin son M orton who liv es in New Rochell e, N. Y. and sh e says Louise's daug ht er, who won our baby cup , is no w wor king for a publishing company (D. Appleton , I think) editing and designing book jackets. Louise ha s two love ly daughters. I remember th e " lo vely" for sur e, and I think Ag nes said two.

W e finall y loc ated our Round Robin -or did we? It was lodge d between Gregory and Gills!

H owever, since the reunion I hav e had a note from Anna H ardaway and I th ink Virgini a had sent it

much she missed being wi th us and suggest ed that we have a r euni on at her beach place in North Caro lin a. (Along with Vi rgi nia's idea of going to Bermuda, and the othe r prospects, we ought rea Jly to get togeth er more often.)

Now I have saved unti l last one of our most int eresting letters which we read together Friday "Miss Paris ," our freshman Engevenin g-from lish teacher. And who doe s not remember those daily themes ? We had SO hoped she wou ld come for the reunion , but having so much news of her li fe since she left us, we almost fe lt her presence there.

PORTRAITOF "FANNY G. " Scores of her former students and other friends were present at the unveiling at commencement of a portrai t of Miss Fanny G. Crenshaw, Westhampton 's first and only director of physical education. The portrait was unveiled by one of Miss Crenshaw 's nieces , Sally Clay Crenshaw . Dr. Emily Gardner , '18 (right), spoke at the unveiling.

ALUMNAE HONOR "FANNY G." "Through the long years ahead the guiding influence and indomitable sp irit of Miss Cre nshaw will continue to be felt through the echoing halls of this gymnasium and over the green playing fields of Westhampton. " So said President Modlin in accepting for the University a portrait of Miss Fanny G. Crenshaw, who has been a part of Westhampton College since it opened its doors in 1914.

The picture of Westhampton's first professor of physi cal education was painted by Mar cia Silvette. It shows Miss Crenshaw, standing erect and face forward, against a background of blue sky.

On e of "Fanny G 's" girls, Dr. Emily Gardner, ' 18, who made the pres entation address, pictured the growth of the department from the early days when the facilities

consisted of "one basketball, the great outof-doors and the tower room ," to the present excellent gymnasium and playing fields.

Basketball was a rugged sport in the old Red Cross building , said Dr. Gardner. Th e ceiling was too low. Th e roof leaked. Th ere were a number of posts running from the floor to ceiling which had to be padded to protect the players from bodily injury. Worst of all were the splinters, which k ept transferring themselves from the floor to "the rears of the students. " In telling of Miss Crenshaw's personal attributes, Dr. Gardner read excerp ts from letters written at her requ est by a number of Miss Crenshaw's former stud ents. Said one of these students : "W hen Miss Crenshaw said, 'Jump ,' all I asked was 'how high ?' "

on to her. The next on th e list would be Kate H armo n.

M ore news was g leaned from letters which some of us had received from some of you. Berni e's life up at the Nava] Academy seems to be very int eresti ng, but we wi JI all have to nay her a visit as non e of us cou ld read her handwr iting! Bernie, you can check as I list your i terns to the best of my visua l abi lity. H er oldest son, Page, is an Air Force Captain , having been in California on temporary duty , but probably back in Baltimore by now. H e was perm itt ed to attend U niv ersity of M ar yland the last semester and received a degree in June , part of his wor k having been done at a bra nch in Germ any. H er other son, Fred, ha s one more year at the Academy and is "p inn ed" to a love ly girl fr om Phi ladelphia. M ary Louise is in the Bare H ospi tal Library in Tampa where her hu sband is located. Bernie is engaged in many

comm unit y act1v1t1es. A not e from Katherine Kirk Bain expressed her regrets at not being ab le to join us in Jun e, but her on ly daughter, Eliz abeth , was being graduated from high school at that time. Kather ine and her hu sba nd , Eddie Bain, live near my sister in Crozet , so I can tell you what a grand fam ily they hav e-o ne da ughter and eight sons, and one son whom they Jost a few years ago. They a ll keep very bu sy with many fami ly and community activities .

Joanna Savage EJlett, who lives in Bu/Yalo, N. Y., wou ld hav e been her e for the reuni on exce pt for the fact that she had not complete ly recovered from an operatio n she had some tim e ago.

Charlotte Francis Sloan was another who almost made it-s he was in town the week before for her husband 's re uni on at M edical College, but cou ld not stay nor make the trip back so soon again.

We all agreed in loud voices that we looked not at all fat and forty and hardly more than 5 or more years out of college; at least that's what we said.

"In our little shop we have all types and kinds of articles that have been the possessions of many people, and we have great fun selling them to most interesting customers. It is exciting and stimulating for we feel that we are rendering a real service to those who need to dispose of things which have served their usefulness and to those who need to buy good things at reduced prices."

Being Secretary of the Class keeps one in contact with the girls, and you '40's have been so wonderful about sending me news. 1'11miss hearing from you, but I am hoping you will be just as helpful to our new Class Secretary , Jane Frances D avenport Reid, as you were to me.

And now more thanks to you th an I can express for sending me so much news , helping with the Alumnae Fund Drive, and working so very hard to prepare for our fifth reunion. To my successor I wish as few problems, as much cooperation and as many pleasures as I hav e had as secret ary -of the '49' ers.

Our new secreta ry, Cynthia Patrick Lawson (Mrs. Jack A. Lawson, 1701 East 44th Street, Richmond), continues the letter with news of the reunion.

Here's where I take over to try to fill Hathaway's shoes. She has done a splendid job for the past three years and I hope to do only half as well in the next live.

The reunion was a wonderful success. Our many thanks go to Virginia Shaw Warren for the picnic at her home and to Mimi Anderson Gill for the coffee Sunday morn ing. Both occasions were informal and gave everyone an opportunity to get up to date on the news. The girls present liked the informal get-together. Some even suggested that we have an affair for the husband s and children at our tenth reunion. Let me know your opinions, but of course that's five years off.

I made a rough count of thirty-two girls at the picnic, but from the noise you would have thought that there were a hundred and thirty-two .

Flo Gray Tullidge brought pictures of Aggie, which were darling. Aggie was a flower girl in her uncle's wedding on June 5. Jane Dens McManiga l forgot pictures of her two boys, but she was bubbling with her old enthusiasm. She and Mick bad come from New Jersey for the reunion .

The mothers outnumbered all other professions.

Dot Richwine Korb Jed the list with three children, two boys and a girl. Liz Webb Woody had the distinction of being the newest mother at the reunion . We finally got the word from Joyce Roberson Goforth - her boy arrived on May 18.

Helen McDonough KelJy had hoped to attend the reunion, but her plans were changed. She was in the hospital and bad a girl born on June 3.

There were reports of several new homes. These ·49·ers seem to be a prosperous group. Bill and Elaine (Leonard) Davis have bought a home in Suffolk. Now Elaine is quite occupied with the Garden Club to find out what you do with a yard.

Brooke Triplett Grove reports a new borne also.

She bas decided not to teach next year. Mary Ann Peddicord Williams bas moved into a new home on West Franklin St. here in Richmond. And from Betty Hurt we heard that ·susan and Wort have moved also . Betty said that Susan has been very busy making curtains.

Her e is some news from the girls who were not lucky enough to be at the "grand" gatherings.

Jean (Moody) Vincent and Stuart hope to leave the Army on July 1 and to return to Emporia to live. Mary Beth Turner, we know that you are at Laguna Beach, Calif., and we would Jove to hear about life out West.

We are turning out to be good Alumnae , and I hope that this spirit grows. During the Reunion Weekend I beard of several girls working with their local alumnae groups. Ida (Eanes) Patrick has been elected president of her chapter, and Elaine (Leonard) Davis is vice president of her group in Suffolk. Good work, girls!

For any of you who have misplaced the address of the man who took our pictures at the picnic, it is: Louis J. Patterson, 1811 Third Ave. , Richmond, Va . Send him a dollar and you'll receive your picture.

The last bit of news that I have comes from Mary Ann (Peddicord) Williams. It seems that Sally Springer is now Mrs. Peter Donahue.

Thanks for all of the news . It ,was wonderful to hear from and about so many. Keep it up so that we can keep up with yuu.

The Eastern Shore Alumnae Club of Westhampton College held its spring luncheon meeting at the Owl Restaurant just north of Accomac Court House on May 8, with Mrs. Sallie Fitchett Little (Mrs. Charles) , vice president, presiding in the absence of the president, Mrs. Je anice Roberts (Mrs. W. T.).

A motion was passed to give $50.00 to the Alumnae Fund labeled for the Swimming Pool Fund.

Mrs. Louise F. Nicolls and Mrs. Paul Watts were appointed co-chairmen for the 1954 fall tea.

The secretary was requested to write notes of sympathy to Mrs. Jeanice Johnson and Miss Mary Hunt .

The newly elected officers are: President-Miss J essie Jarvis, Machipongo .

Treasurer-Mrs. Susie Warren Johnson , Accomac.

Secretary-Miss J. Elizabeth Jon es, Townsend.

We had as our guest spea ker s Miss Marguerit e Roberts , D ean of Westhampton and Mrs. Leslie Booker, Alumnae Secretary. Miss Robert s' account of the rating and activities of the college made us indeed proud of Westhampton.

Mrs. Booker's " inside report" filled us with enthusiasm for the 40th Anniversary celebration .

New York Club President: MRS. JULES F. DE DAN (France s Gottlieb), 137 Walker Court, W est Orange , New Jersey.

Our spring affair was in the form of a tea meeting at Schrafft's Resta urant, 220 West 57th Street, New York, on Saturday, May 15, 1954. While the attendance left much to be desired in the way of numbers, we did have some sp lendid suggestions made as to future endeavors.

Incidentally, you New York members , keep Saturday, October 9, 1954, for our Club. In the fall, notices will be sent out giving you all the detai ls. Suffice it to say here, our p lans are different, and we think you will welcome the change!

Our election of officers resulted in the following: Margaret Lowe , Vice President and Treasurer; and Betty Newcombe as Secretary . The President remains the same (at least for a while) . Come out with us in the fall and help us revitalize the g roup. We can do wonders with an enthu siast ic crowd behind us!

Patrick-Henry Club President: MRS. WILLIAM JENNINGS (Jane Sanford, '49), 802 Parkview Street, Martinsville , Virginia.

Our group has been very enthusiastic this year with the 40th anniversary in the air and many of us planning to go back to the campus for the first time in a good many years. We had a very successfu l meeting in May with around 18 meembers attending. Though we planned a picnic at Mrs. Richard Broadus ' it of course rained. This failed to dampen our spir it s though as the food and fe llowship were just as good insid e. Mrs. Booker gave us the highlights of the campus and alumnae doings. We enjoyed to the utmo st our visit with Miss Keller and were quite interested in her ac<:ount of the Egyptian trip. Plans were made at th e meeting for a tea for the high school girls in this vicinity with films from the campus being featured. We're all plan ning to make the refreshments a nd bring them along .

W e are having a fall luncheon meeting to plan a benefit of some type. We 're int erested in getting the girls that swimming pool but are afraid we can't do it by ourselves.

Suffolk Area Club President: MRS. A. L. .BRINKLEY (Ethel Pond, '28), 523 Riverview Dri ve, Suffolk, Va .

Our Club has held two meetings this year-a lunch eon in the fa ll, and a "stude nt night " in the spri ng. At the spring meeting the high school gir ls from our tri-county area were our g uests and five co!Jege students from our Area presented our program . Both of these meetings have been reported, so I do not wish to repeat . However , as outgoi ng president , I wou ld like to give a brief summary of our dub activit ies and progress.

The Suffolk Area Club has been the baby club of th e Westhampton Alumnae Association for we have just completed our second year. We are glad to say though, that we feel that we have conquered a number of our growing pai ns, and hope to be an active and energe tic club in the years ahead. Two years ago we orga nized with seven members ( two have sin ce moved away ) and to date we have twenty -seven members. When we organized we did not ha ve a studen t at Westhampton from our area, This year we have seven and six more have been accepted as freshmen for the fa ll term. Of course, we realized that we have not been respons ibl e for all of these gir ls selecting Westha mp ton, but we do feel that we have helped them make their choice through our student night meetings in our club.

Although we did not have a money-making

JOHN RANDOLPH TUCKER John Randolph Tucker, 74, prominent Richmond attorney and for 15 years a member of the law faculty of the Univers ity of Richmond, died June 12 ,

pro ject this year, we were able to make a small contribution to our Alumnae fund. Mrs . Marjorie Rhodes H all, '25, is our new president. We hope to grow in numbers and in interests as we work toget her to fulfill our two main objec tives, name ly: to enjo y the fellowship of other Westhampton Alumn ae, and to introduce the college to our high school gir ls and to try to interest the finest stude nt s in selecting Westhampton as their Alma Mater.

I Refuse to Answer (Continued from page 7)

which seems to them repugnant to American concepts of due process of law. They believe that since in the case of the investigations regarding Communism the methods employed are jeopardizing the nation's capacity to resist the spread of Communism, there is not only a right but a moral duty to keep silent. The Fifth Amendment is the only way they can do so without risking a prison sentence for contempt.

Are these uses of the privilege abuse of the Fifth Amendment? A witness is not legally entit led to claim the privilege if his answer would not incriminate him, no matter how many others it would incriminat e.

Therefore it would seem that in many cases the privilege is improperly invoked. Yet there is one further consideration. The privilege against self-incrimination arose to inquisitorial procheck a procedure-the cedure of the English Star Chamber - which could not be checked in any other way.

Perhaps the privilege is again being used for that purpose. The function of a Congressiona l investigative comm ittee is to gather information for legislative purposes, and it is not entitled to make itself a substitute for the organs of gove rnment which prosecute crimes and try them. Yet many of the witnesses who are questioned by Congressional committe es are in effect tried before the public, without the protection which we customarily give to the defendant in a criminal trial-grand-jury indictment, trial by jury, representation by counsel. One may therefore wonder whether it is always the witnesses who are abusing the Fifth Amendment, or whether it is others who are abusing certain basic concepts of due process of law. And although we may not agree with those who use the privilege as a protest against present-day committee procedures, we must recognize that many sincere Americans do hold this belief.

These are only a few of the many problems involving the Fifth Amendment. In considering them all, we must remember that since fundamental constitutiona l rights belong either to everyone or to no one, we cannot deny them to the guilty and preserve them for the innocent. We should remember, too, that even a guilty man is a human being, and in this country we prize above everything else the importan ce of the human being. It was the value we placed on man as an individual which was responsible for the first ten amendments to the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, which guaranteed our liberties by denying to our government the power to interfere with certain basic rights.

Before we decide to abolish or weaken any one of those rights, we must consider what liberties we would thereby lose.

Finally, we must remember that without the protection of our government, our Constitution would be worthless to guarantee our liberti es. If we can protect this country against the advance of Communism only by giving up some of our basic privileges, Jet us make the sacrifice without hesitation ; but unless the necessity is clear, Jet us guard with

care each of the rights which have made our country not only the leader of the world, but the land of the free.

Operation Blue Jay (Continued from page 8)

In the years since World War II the necessity for further establishment of bases around Newfoundland and the Arctic region became more evident, particularly as tensions grew between Soviet Russia and the United States.

There evolved the United States Northeast Command. This outpost at Thule, only 900 miles from the North Pol e, was known as "Operation Blue Jay." Since that first operation at Thule the United States, with the cooperation of Canada and Denmark, has enlarged the United States Northeast Command to include New foundland, the northern regions of Canada, and Greenland. Within USNEC the Northeast Air Command (NEAC) was established and was made responsible for all military water operations as well as air defense units.

Through a joint agreement between the De partment of the Army and the Department of the Air Force the 373rd Transportation Port Command C of the Transportation Corps was delegated the responsibility for the operation of NEAC water ports. This

entire operation is labeled SUNEC (Supporting Units Northeast Command).

Due to weather conditions, particularly 111 the more northern ports, water activities are limited to the summer's months. To insure the successful operation of these ports during that short period, Army summer augmentation units are shipped up from the States. It's an enormous problem to get the units up here from Fort Eustis, Va., and get the job completed in the short time available.

(As chief clerk of the 373rd TPC-C Troop movement, branch I, I keep up-to-date records of the movements of every one of the men traveling between the Command and the States, their assignments within the Command, and also between the ports within the command. In a headquarters such as this at McAndrews AFB in Argentia, Newfoundland, it is amazing to see the volume of adm inistrative work that is necessary.)

It is a complicated and a complex job that is being done up here in the Arctic but it seems to this observer that it is being done remarkably well. With the Army operating the water ports and the Air Force manning the radar and weather stations and other air and ground defense faci lities the Northeast Command will continue to serve the Western Hemisphere as a defense against aggression.
