THE COVER The University's growth since your own student days is dramatically portrayed on the cover of the Bulletin. Unless you are a member of the class of '55, some building has been ad ded since your undergraduate days. Any alumnus who graduated twenty years ago and hasn't returned to the camp us since then will need a guide to accompany him on a tour of the University. Near the foot of the lake, where the old Playhouse once stood, the Boatwright Memorial Library is under construction ( opposite the Science Group). In addition to the library, other buildings which have been added to the campus since Dr. Modlin became president nine years ago include: South Court, at the far left of the aerial picture, connecting w ith the classroom section of North Court (the main Westhampton building). The Student Center, facing the administration bui ldin g and approximately north of the Boatwright Memorial Library. The Law School , approximately northeast of the Administration Building (note the park ing area to the left of it) . The cleared area to the left of Millhiser Gymnasium (the Gymnas ium, to the left of Mi llhi ser Field, is almo st hidden by the trees) is Robins Field, given to th e University by E. Claiborne Robin s, '3 1. It already has proven of great help to vars ity and intramural learns. The old timers of two or three decades ago will be amazed by all of the new constructio n in the area west of the campus which was wi ld erness when the Univers ity moved to its new locat ion in 1914. P.S. This picture soon will be obsolete . A new dormitory for men wi ll be under construction next fall. It w ill be located near Thomas Hall.

COMMENCE MEMBERS of the board of trustees arN. rived at Keller Hall for their annual meeting on June 6 they could see workmen on the opposite side of the University lake g uiding into position the massive white stone blocks that will form the tower of the Boatwright Memorial Library. The workmen had gone and the block and tackle of the derrick hung motionless in the blue twilight as hundreds of students, their parents and friends moved into the Luther H. Jenkins Greek Th eater for the final exerC!Ses.

That tower was to many of the men and women in the academic procession and in the green-turfed amphitheater both a symbol of what the University has been through the years and a challenge for all the years ahead. It was both a monument to a great leader and an inspiration to those who will follow him . President George M. Modlin cast a backward glance down an avenue of 12 5 years as he delivered the commencement address. It was more than a cataloging of dates and hap penings, it was an evaluation of the character and the spirit of an institution of learning, from a humble beginning in a lonely farmhouse to a position of influence and prestige on a spacious campus in Virginia's capital city. Among those who were much moved by President Modlin 's address was Virginia's senior senator, Harry F. Byrd, who flew down from Washington to receive the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. Upon his return to the capital he asked and received permission for the address to be printed in the Congressional Record as an evidence of what private enterprise could accomplish in the field of education. The Senator was impressed with the fact that since 1895 when Dr. Boatwright became president, the institution has lived within its income, through good and bad years alike. To the hushed commencement audience President Modlin told the story of the Uni versity in simple but moving terms. He told of its beginning in 1830 in Dunlora Academy where a man named Baptist (Edward Baptist) was the teacher and the first student to enroll was Allgood (William Allgood). He told of its transition into the Virginia Baptist Seminary and of the unsuccessful effort to have the ministerial students earn their keep by the sweat of their brows as farm workers. He told of the momentous decision to change the emphasis from theological training to liberal arts education with the establishment of Richmond College. He told of the tmstees' patriotic but almost minous decision to invest the College 's endowment in Confederate bonds. Bonds which after Appomattox were worthless!

He told of the College's reopening after the Civil War and of the herioc efforts to keep it open. He told of Frederic William Boatwright, '88, the youngest member of the faculty, who accepted the presidency of the College at the age of twenty-seven and gave it diligent and inspired leadership for 51 years. Pointing out that Dr. Douglas Southall Freeman, '04, had said of President Boatwright that everything he touched he "multiplied by ten," Dr. Modlin asserted that "even this estimate is faint praise ." He illustrated with comparative figures: "When he became president in 1895 ther e were 183 students, a faculty of 9 professors, campus property valued at $300,000, an endowment of $400,000, a total income of $30,000, and no debt. In his final annual report he reported an enrollment of 2,174 students, a faculty of 112 professors , campus property valued at $2,706,606, an endowment of $2,904,843, total assets of $7,188,181, income of $648,729, and no debt." The University of Richmond is now the largest private institution in Virginia and "one of the strongest church -related institu tions in this part of the country, " Dr. Modlin said, adding : "Assuredly we can say in all humility that the Lord has blessed this insti tution during these 125 years and that He continues to look with favor upon this University as it seeks to serve Him." ( At the close of the 125th year, campus property was valued at $4,536,820, endowment and trust funds at $6,189,222, total assets were $11 ,496,547, and the income was $1,407,632.) Dr. Modlin selected as perhaps the most significant single event in the long career of his predecessor the decision to remove the institution to its present location from downtown Richmond. The school's location, he said, has been an important factor in its growth. In his summary of the characteristics of the University, President Modlin commented on its high standards, its integrity and honor, its spirit of tolerance, freedom, democracy, and self-discipline, and its spiritual emphasis. In commenting on its integrity, he pointed out that although Richmond College was chartered in 1840, it offered no degrees until 1849 because it was the trustees ' published intention not to confer degrees until the school could afford "facilities for education equal to those of other chartered institu tions. " Although the school was founded by the Baptist denomination and has been closely associated with it through the years, President Modlin pointed out that it has served stu-

[ 2J

dents of every creed and that non-Baptists as well as Baptists have served on the board of trustees. "There has never been a narrow spirit of intolerance at this institution ," he said, "social, religious, or economic." Furthermore, at the University of Richmond "faculty and students have never been restricted in their search for truth. Everyone has Âˇbeen free to follow the inquiries of his mind and the dictates of his conscience with out fear of interference or recrimination. On this campus there have been breadth of opinion and freedo1-i1of expression to a degree that is rare in a church-related institution. " (For the text of President Modlin's address see Page 4.) Although Dr. Modlin in his address touched only lightly on the nine-year period that the "fourth president " has been in office, he might have pointed out that it has been one of the most fruitful in the history of the University. During that period there has been built a new dormitory, South Court, at West hampton, the Student Center for men, and the building to house the T. C. Williams School of Law. The new Boatwright Memorial Library which will be completed at a cost of $1,000,000, will be dedicated this fall during the formal celebration of the Univer sity's 125th anniversary. Furthermore, ground will be broken in the very near future on the first of a series of new dormitory units which are expected ultimately to provide accommodations for 300 men. This first unit, to cost $300,000, will house seventy-five. The University's scholarship program has been swelled until it now affords aid to the extent of more than $120,000 annually. This expanded program was made possible by the bequest of $2,700,000 by an alumnus, A. D. Williams. Although applications for college admission are expected to soar during the years immediately ahead, President Modlin has emphasized that the University should limit its students to the number that can be "instructed effectively with present and proposed facilities and faculties. " This same theme had been hit hard two nights earlier by Dr. Ralph C. McDanel, '16, professor of history and political science, who asserted in his address to the joint alumni-alumnae dinner that "bigger" is not necessarily a synonym for "better." President Modlin proposed to the board of trustees an "optimum" enrollment of 2,200 full-time students, and a maximum enrollment not to exceed 2,600. He proposed for Richmond College an enrollment of from 1,300 to 1,500; Westhampton College, 450500; the School of Business Administration, 200-250; the T. C. Williams School of Law, 150-200, and the Graduate School, 100-150.

MENT 1955 These estimates, he pointed out, represent an optimum increase of 400 and a maximum increase of 800 above the full-time registration of 1807 for the session just ended . (These figures do not include the Summer School in which 754 students were enrolled last year nor the evening classes of the School of Business where 1,302 were enrolled during the past session.) On the basis of the anticipated increase in student applications , it is likely that the optimum enrollment will be reached within all divisions of the University by 1960 and even earlier in some units. Enrollments in all of the University 's six schools were up last year after declining steadily from the post-war peak of 1948-49 . In his address at the alumni-alumnae dinner, Dr. McDanel said that if enrollments are to be frozen, the task of selecting the students who will be admitted to each division will become a difficult one. He suggested that the school's chief constituencies are the city of Richmond, the alumni, and the Baptists of Virginia . He voiced a two-fold plea: "that we do not let enrollment grow faster than the means we have to serve the students ade-

quately; and that our philosophy should continue to be that of the small college where the student is a human being, moulded in the image of God, and not that of the large school where sometimes the tendency is to regard him as a statistic." Dr. McDanel's "ideal for the University of Richmond" is that it should be the "relatively small, private institution of definitely limited enrollment constantly striving to improve the quality rather than the quantity of its students. We need, and should admit, only those who can and wish to profit by a college education; those who wish to prepare for making a life as well as a living; those to whom the culture of the ages has a meaning in the solutions of the problems of the complex civilization in which we live; those who have and will further develop qualities of loyalty, faith, understanding and leadership." (For the text of Dr. McDanel's address see Page 5.) Three alumni of the University were among the six distinguished men who received honorary degrees at the final exercises: Dr. Clodius H. Willis, '14, professor of electrical engineering at Princeton University,

who received the Doctor of Science degree, and the Rev. Jesse E. Davis, '25 , pastor of Virginia Heights Baptist Church in Roanoke , and the Rev. Howard L. Arthur, '26, pastor of Leigh Street Baptist Church, Richmond , the degree of Doctor of Divinity . Dr. Ben R. Lacy Jr., president of Union Theological Seminary, who preached the baccalaureate sermon, received the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters. The degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred on Admiral Lewis L. Strauss, chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, and Senator Byrd. The honorary degrees followed the conferring of 223 degrees, in course, to 79 graduates of Richmond College, 71 graduates of Westhampton College, 40 graduates of the School of Business Administration, 28 of the T. C. Williams School of Law and 5 grad uates of the Graduate School. By coincidence the total of 223 was exactly the same as last year. Both are the lowest since the close of World War II. Next year's graduating class, however, is expected to reflect the increases in undergraduate enrollment of the past three years. The graduating class of 1960 should equal or exceed the previous high of 345 in June 1949.

HONORARY DEGREEWINNERS. Two well-known men in public life, Admiral Lewis L. Strauss, chairman of hte Atomic Energy Commission, and Virginia's senior senator, Harry F. B,yrd, were among the six recipients of honorary degrees at the University's 125th commencement. Both received the degree of Doctor of Laws. Left to right are Admiral Strauss, Senator Byrd, Dr. Clodius H. Willis, '14, professor of electrical engineering at Princeton; Dr. Ben R. Lacy, Jr., president of Union Theological Seminary in Richmond; the Rev. Howard L. Arthur, '26, pastor of Leigh Street Baptist Church, Richmond, and the Rev. Jesse E. Davis, '25, pastor of Virginia Heights Baptist at Church in Roanoke.

UNIVERSITY OF RI-CHMOND

1830

1955

BY PRESIDENT GEORGE M. MODLIN*

NE HUNDRED and twenty-five years O momentous events ago, in the year were taking place, some of which were to 183,0,

shape the future of the world. There had been a revolt in Paris, and the French had conquered Algiers. Holland and Belgium were separated into two countries, and Poland was torn by revolution . The United States signed a treaty of commerce and navigation with Turkey, opening the Black Sea to American ships. This was the year that Americans were excited by news of the steam locomotiv e that had hauled passengers and traffic from Liverpool to London. In January the Petersburg (Va.) Railroad was incorporat ed, and February saw the beginning of canal transportation between Rid11110ndand Lynchburg. In 1830 there were twenty-four states in the Union and, according to the fifth census, the total population of the United States was 12 ,86 6,020. Virginia, with 1,044,054 inhabitants , ranked third, exceeded only by New York and Pennsylvania. In presenting the fed~ral budget, President Andrew Jackson estunated total expend itures for that year at $23, 755 ,5 26, of which $11,500,000 - almost half - was for servicing the public debt. There was a deficit of three-quarters of a million dollars. In Richmond , people were talking about the new State Library which had just been established. T11e chief subject of interest, however, was the Virginia Constitutional Convention, among whose delegates were Madison, Monroe, Marshall, John Tyler , and John Randolph. Later in the year Virginian Henry Clay was to be nominated as a candidate for the presidency of the United States. On June 8, 1830 a deeply significant event occurred here in Richmond. At five o'clock in th_e mornin/s, a group of men attending the eighth session of the Baptist General Association of Virginia met in the basement of the Second Baptist Church, then located on Eleventh Street south of Main. After considerable discussion, according to the minutes, it was resolved "that the Baptists of this State form an Education Society for the improvement of the ministry." This meeting and this reso_luti_onconstituted the beginning of the mstitution that today is the University of Richmond.

Dttnl ora Academy As a result of this meeting the Virginia BaJJtist Education Society was formed and, until funds could be raised to organize an educational institution, the members of the *In addition to his accustomed task of conferring degrees, Dr. Modlin also delivered the commencement address in Luther H. Jenkins Greek Theater on June 6. Th e address launched the University's celebrat10n of its 125th anniversary .

DR. GEORGE M. MOD LIN

Society_preva_iled upon its vice president to accept mto his home young men wishing to prepare for t'.1e ministry. The vice president , who had wntten the Society's constitution, was the best educated Baptist minister in Virginia, having earned the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts at Hampden Sydney College . His name was Edward Baptist. In August 1830 the first student, William Allgood, arrived at Dunlora Plantation in Powhatan County, where a building of three or four rooms provided by Elder Baptist became known as Dunlora Academy. Altogether nine students were enrolled that first year. (You will be interested to know that after a search of several years the grave of Founder Edward Baptist has recently been located, in central Alabama , and a commemorative headstone will be placed above it by the University this summer.)

Virginia Baptist Seminary . After two years the Education Society, havmg _secured some funds, purchased for $4,000 Spnng Farm, about five miles north of Richmond near the present Bryan Park on Her:Ditage Road. As Edward Baptist was unwillrng to move to the new location, the presidency was offered to Elder Robert Ryland, a graduate of Columbian College in Washing ton, then pastor of the Lynchburg Baptist Church. _On July 1, 1834 the Virginia Baptist S~mmary was opened and on July 4 instruction began for eight sh1dents, some of whom had attended Dunlora Academy. A

[4}

total of fourteen students were enro lled dur ing the first session. The courses of instruction included Latin Greek, and Mathematics; and a compulsory feature of the curriculum was manual labor. Students were required to work on the farm three hours a day, thus, in the words of President Ryland, "improving the health , dimin1sh111gthe expenses, and perhaps guardino the humility of the young preachers." For~ number of reasons this system of farming proved unprofitable and was abandoned after a few years. With the enrollment of non-ministerial "pay students," registrations increased and additional instructors were employed. Conditions on the farm became increasingly unsatisfactory, causrng the Education Society to seek a more desirable location for the Seminary. The Haxall estate, two or three mdes nearer Rid1mond, with the mansion house Âˇ "Columbia" and several other brick buildings , was purchased in 1834 and the Seminary began classes there on January 2,0, ~.835. In the words of President Ryland, This was really an onward stride to respectability and usefulness .. .. We left the plain farm-house and the slab-covered log-cabins that had been improvised as the students increased, and the unsightly barn that had served for a d1apel and school-rooms .... " In its new location with better facilities the i_nstitution began to grow , the faculty was rncreased, and the need for add ition al funds became more and more urgent. As the Education Society was unincorporated and th~s could not hold title to property or rece1ve bequests, and as the Legislature of Virginia would not grant a charter to a theologic _al school, the Seminary was greatly handicapped . It was decided to apply for a charter for a liberal arts college under a new name, and on March 4, 1840 a charter was granted by the Virginia Legislature to the "Trustees of Richmond College." The property was turned over to the Trustees by the E~ucation Society, and on January 2, 1843 Richmond College opened its doors to students.

Richmond College At that time there were sixty-eight students, three teachers, land and buildings valued at $20,000, a small endowment and a library of 700 volumes . The total 'cost of room, board, and tuition was $120 for the session of eleven months. President Ryland and the two instructors received annua l salaries of $900, $600, and $500. The President said in a later address, "What we lacked in pay we made up in work." During the ten years the Virginia Baptist (Continued

or someone. Sometimes, however, they seem to be reasonably reliable . Today is such a time, and the statistics deal with the increasing number of young peopl e who will soon seek admission to our colleges and universities. Almost the only areas of disagreement appear to be the exact number and the time when the tide will be at flood. it They are comi ng -a nd soon-and, would seem, for a number of years to come. An increased birth rate and an increased percentage of high school graduates going to college result in the prediction of a doubled college enro llment by early in the decade of the 1960's. What is being done, and what should be done in the face of this threatened invasion of the colleges ? Very little has been done beyond the usual wringing of hands and viewing with alarm. Presidents of tax-sup ported educational institutions have quite prope rly pointed out that if they are to take care of this greatly increased enrollment they will need many more millions of dollars for new buildings , increased faculties, and so on. So far no one has pointed out where the money is to come from. The problem, as it affects the tax-sup po rted institutions, is the concern of all citizens; as it affects the privately endowed institut ion it is the concern of the alumni and friends of the institution. The solution of the problem is not the same for the two types of institutions but certain principles apply to both. As the president of the Carnegie Corporation suggested the other day, the American people should not "commit themselves to more higher education than they can maintain -a nd are willing to pay for-at a reasonable level of quality." Both public and private institutions could with profit follow President Gardner's further advice that they do a better job of selecting those who can profit most from a college career and discard the notion that college is an opportun ity which should not be denied any boy or girl. As tax payers we should be interested in all phases of the problem but I hope that a large part of your interest will be directed toward the solution of the problem as it affects the University of Richmond. At least *Dr . McDan el, professor of history and political science and a member of the faculty since 1926, delivered the address at the joint alumni-a lumn ae dinner in Kell er Hall on June 4.

think with me about it for a few moments tonight. Our Problem I suggest three aspects of our problem : the physical, which would include endowment as well as grounds and buildings; the students, how many, and who; and the faculty. Our physical plant is reasonably adequate for class room, library , and laboratory space for the present student body. A greatly increased student body would require additions all along the line . It is in dormitory space that we find our greatest need. Westhampton College cannot grow to any extent without add itional dormi tory space. Richmond College does not have anything lik e the rooms needed for the present enrollment. The School of Business takes up a part of the available dormitory space and some Law School students want rooms on the campus. It would appear, then , that we will not be able to increase the student body of the Uni versity to any appreciable extent except with off-campus students un less and until we get new dormitories . A new men's dormitor y is in the hoped -for stage and high on the priority list. Let us hope that additional dormitory facilities will be available befor e the increasing number of students begin knocking at the door.

Little, if anything, has been heard about a new Westhampton dormitory. In addition to the necessity for more buildings if we are materially to increase our enro llment, there will be the necessity for more endowment. We have been told over and over again that a student who pays the full tuition and fees is paying only a part of the total cost of his education. The remainder of the cost comes from the income from endowment. A material increase in students would require more buildings , more faculty, and thereby more expense on the part of the University which would certainly require more income-produ cing endowment. Physically, we at the University of Richmond are not equipped for any large additions to our student bodies. Who and H ow M any? Of course the most important aspect of the problem of growing enrollment is the students: who and how many? It is not easy to name a definite figure for any division of the University but conditions tend to delimit in every case. The Westhampton College enrollment cannot increase materially. The Law School buildin g can perhaps accommodate 200 students. The projected building for the School of Business probably about the same number. For Richmond Col(Continued on page 32)

LI OF R'SEXPANDINGMUSIC DEPARTMENT BY RAMSEY FITZPATRICK, '30 One of the Strongest Units of the University

PEOPLE have said that the 112 voices of the University's combined choirs singing Randall Thompson 's "A lleluia" and Alec Rowley 's "Praise" in Cannon Memorial Chapel in May made the finest musical sound ever h eard at the University. Th is annua l spring concert by the University Chorus, the University Men's Glee Club, and the Westhampton College Glee Club capped a year of vigorous musical activity. The University's Departm$:nt of Music, which just completed its second year under the direction of Dr. John White, professor of music, is rapid ly becoming known as an important music center of Virginia, and an increase in facu lty and student enro llm ent makes it one of the strongest and most active sections of the University. With 137 class enro llm ents from Westhampton College and 145 from Richmond College dur ing the second semester of 1954-

55, the music department is serving equa lly well both sides of the Jake. The number of music majors has jumped from eight in 1953-54 to twenty-eight in 1954-55, an indication of the surge in student interest and the resulting improvement of quality and quantity of the musical activitites. The outstanding event of the past year was the appearance in April of the new 55-voice University Chorus with the Norfolk Symphony Orchestra and Civic Chorus in a performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in Norfo lk . The University Chorus, directed by James Erb, was the only gro up invited to partic ipate in this annual performance of a great chor al work by Edgar Schenkman, conducto r of the Norfolk Symphony. Their success was evident , since they have been invit ed to return next season for a performance of Bach's "St. Matthew Passion. " Mr. Erb, who has completed his first year [ 6

on the University faculty, is a native of Colorado and holds a Master of Music degree from Indiana University. He is a veteran of two years' graduate study at the fa.med Akademie der Musik in Vienna, where he was assistant conductor of the worldtour ing Academy Chamber Choir. Besides the University Chorus, he directs the Westhampton College Glee Club and has a capacity enro llment as a teacher of voice. The Department of Music gave 65 public presentations during 1954-55 , including faculty recitals, broadcasts, and appearances of the student music organizations on campus, in the city, and throughout the state.

HUBBELL'S TheSouthIn AmericanLiterature BY LEWIS F. BALL*

as the late President Coolidge F would have said, is a long time. Relatively few of the old grads of 1905 who attended IF TY YEARS,

the recent Alumni Day celebration looked quite the same as they did half a century ago, but most of them looked surprisingly well. One of them who has worn his academic years gracefu lly and is as tall and straight as when he played footba ll and ran the mile at Richmond College is Jay B. Hubbell, who retired as professor of American literature at Duke University last summer and who has been visiting professor at the University of Virginia this year. Althou gh he has written about a dozen books, there is no doubt that his greatest is TheSottth in American Literature 1607-1900. He spent some twenty dedicated years in research and actual writ ing of this book that will be for a long time the standard work in its field. It is thorough; it is eloquent; it is sensible. In short, it is scholarship as it ought to be written. In one respect at least, it is unique. As the title implies, it is a study of the South in relation to the whole pattern of American letters- not an isolated survey that stops short at the Potomac. The main emphasis, of course, is upon Southern authors themselves, but it gives the view from the outside too. We find out what Emerson and William Ellery Channing and other Yankees thought of the South and its way of life. Professor Hubbell's ability to see the region in perspective and his critical insights concerning individual authors are the two things that make his book great. He waves no flags. He does not sing "Dixi e" until the rafters ring. He does not try to convince his readers that Thomas Holley Chivers is a "Southland Shelley" ( one of the most sickening phrases ever to appear in print). On the other hand , he does not apologize. He explains and persuades and, if one doesn't see eye to eye with him in all matters, one can study the problem for himself by making use of the 91-page critical bibliography, the most comprehensive one on Southern literature in pri nt. When a m:in writes a masterpiece, we like to know something of the background and train ing that went into it. There is a great deal and it started back in 1885, when he was born in Smyth County, Virginia. His *Dr . Ball is associate professor of English in the University of Richmond and Book Editor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

DR. JAY B. HUBBELL

father , the Reverend David S. Hubbell, was a Baptist minister who had attended Richmond College shortly after the Civil War . Both Jay and his brother Paul received their B.A. degrees here a few years apart, and both became teachers. Paul is now professor of history at Michigan State Teachers College. Jay came to Richmond after a year at Windsor Academy and majored in Latin and Greek. He won both a prize in mathematics and the Greek medal. Three years after his graduation he took his master's degree in English at Harvard , and in 1922 he was awarded his Ph. D. at Columbia. H e also holds the degree of Litt. D. from Southern Methodi st University (1951). He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He taught one year at the University of North Carolina and three years at Wak e Forest. Then h e went to S. M. U. in 1915 and remained there as E. A. Lilly Professo r of English until 1927, except for about two years of army service in World War I. Most of his mature years, however, have been spent at Duke , where he moved to accept the position of professor of American literatur e. Back in those days this was a subject that practically called for apology. Duke offered only one course in American writers, and both grad uate and undergraduate interest was low. In the decades that followed, the situation

[7 J

has been radically transformed. Beyond question Professor Hubbell's influence has been one of the chief reasons for the change in atmosphere. After only two years in his new position , the Duke University Press launched the quarterly American Literature, the only journal in its field and the semiofficial organ of the American Literature Division of the Modern Language Association. As he had been editor of the Southwest Review at Southern Methodist , it was only natural that he should be called upon to direct the policies of the new publication as chairman of the board of editors. This office he held until his retirement. Anoth er significant contribution was his tireless interest in building up the American section of the Duke library to its present distinction. Add to all this the fact that in the past twenty-odd years he has taught over a thousand undergraduates and directed nearly a hundred master 's theses and a score of doctoral dissertations. It calls for admirationand perhaps no small measure of sympathy. But this sketch of the main thread of Professor Hubbell's career does not tell the whole story. He has been in steady demand to teach at other universiti es here and abroad. He has taught in summer sessions at Columbia, Colorado, Texas, and U. C. L. A. For two years (1949 and 1950) he was visiting professor of American literature at the University of Vienna , and in the spring of 1953 Fulbright professor at the University of Athens. During World War II he prepared a number of texts for the Armed Forces Institute (USAF!), and his excellent anthology American Life in Literature was issued in three editions for use in courses given by the armed services. Next to The 5011th in American Literature this is probably his best-known work . Although Dr. Hubbell has consistently led an academic life, it has been far from a cloistered one. In 1918 he married Miss Lucinda Smith of Dallas, Texas. Their two sons, Jay B. Jr. and David S., both hold two degrees from Duke. In time past he enjoyed a round of golf and an occasional hand of bridge . At present he loves to work in his garden when he can persuade his conscience that it is all right to take time off from that article he is usually working on. H e says, too, that he is a fair hand at home repairs and something of a do-it-yourself addict. So you see he is a good man to have around the house as well as 011 a college faculty.

THE Westhampton Alumnae Hit Record High In Giving Thanks to the interest and efforts of over a hundred Alumnae Fund workers, and boosted by one particularly large gift, the Westhampton Alumnae Fund for 1954-1955 surpassed by more than $1,000 the amount ever given in any previous year. This evidence of increasing generosity on the part of Westhampton alumnae is most gratifying and augurs well for the future of the college. Without the loyal support of its own alumnae, no college can expect assistance from outside groups. Consequently alumnae gifts to Westhampton are importa nt not on ly in themselves, but in their impact on others who are considering gifts to educationa l institutions. We have now in the Swimming Pool Fund a total of $26,906.61. It is the earnest hope of the Alumnae Board that enough large gifts will be received in the near future to carry this fund to $50,000.00 within five more years. Meanwhile, feeling that some of our effort should be directed toward direct support of educational objectives, the Alumnae Association voted to contribute $1,000 w ithin the next year to the Un iversity to be used in the building up of a music library which is needed to serve the rapidly expanding Music Department. It is our hope that we may each year help in some specific educational objective of the university and at the same time continue to work on our long range objective, which is the swimming pool. The total amount in the Alumnae Fund on June 30, 1955 was $8,745.95. This compares very favorably with last year's total of $7,250.02. If we can continue this upward trend we may look forward to the time when the Alumnae Fund will be a source of revenue that will be of real assistance to Westhampton. R. C.

BUSINESSCONCERNSCONTRIBUTE$12,000 The University of Richmond's long -range financial development program took a step forward recently when it conducted its first appeal for additional operating funds for Alma Mater. Following the distribution , in the spring of 1954, of a general gift opportunities brochur e entitled "To Brighten All Eternity," it was de cided that an appeal for operating funds should be inaugurated in the fall of 1954. A fold er, "Year by Year," explaining the University's growth and progress and showing income would operating how additional strengthen the total educational program, was prepar ed and distributed fairly widely among indi viduals and business concerns formerly contributing to the University on special occasions. To date , contributions resulting from the distribution of these folders have totaled ap proximately $12,000 from 36 firms and individuals. President Modlin reports that it is planned to make such an appeal periodical ly to business concerns that are former and prospective donors to the University. Also, considerable effort will be made to increase

the number of prospective donors, who will be sent appropriate letters and brochu res concerning the University. The following individuals and concerns have responded to the initial appeal for ad ditional current operating funds: H. V. Baldwin & Co., Samuel M.

FUNDS 1915SetsRecordof 80.64 HE LARGEST NUMBER of contributors in the Fund's nine-year history1641-had made gifts to the Alumni Fund on July 1, and there is a reasonable prospect that by the close of the calendar year the total gift will have passed $30,000. The July 1 total of $28,863 was under the total of $30,967 on the corresponding date of last year, due to a decline in the number of large gifts which cleared through the Fund, but some of the large gifts may still be forthcoming. . . The encouraging fact was the ternfic ga111 in the number of contr ibutors-a n increase of 256 over the 1385 who had contribut ed on July 1 last year, and a gain of 199 over the total of 1442 at the close of the calendar year. The total more than doubled the 793 who contributed $17,605 to the first Fund in 1947. Well pleased with alumni giving in the 195 5 Fund, President Modlin said that the Fund is becoming increasingly important as a source of revenue for the University, as a supp lement to the earnings on endowed funds. For the seventh consecutive year the class of 1915, cheered on by J. Earle (Pete) Dun ford, the new president of the Alumni Society, set the pace in the percentage of contributors with a sparkling 80.64- the highest figure ever recorded by any class. . The men of ' 15 spurted to this record high from their 64.51 of last year and 111 doing so kept safely out of the reach of the class of 1905 which celebrated its 50th anniversary by placing second with a score of 59.26, moving up briskly from their seventh place position of last year when 39 .28 per cent of the members contributed. Although they bettered their score slightly with a percentage of 57.50 as compared with 56.41 last year, the men of 1911 slipped into third place, a notch above the _class of 1907 which had a score of 56.52. For the first time in the history of the Fund all of the top ten classes had a score of better than 40 per cent. In fifth place was the class of 1921 with 49 .02, followed by 1916 (48.78); 1924 (48.57); 1920 (44.64); 1912 (44.19), and 1917 (43 .64) . The class of 1949 which upped its total to 82 from last year's 75 was first in the number of contributors, and 1950 was again in second position with 72, an increase of six. The men of 1930, celebrating their 25th anniversary, increased their number of contributors from 41 to 57 to take third place,

ahead of the Old Guard and the class of 1948, both of which had 54. From the class of 195 3 there were 5 3 contributors , followed by the class of 1941 with 46. Th e classes of 1940, 1942 and 1951 were tied at 45. There were 17 classes with 40 or nfore contributors, as compared with six in this category last year. The list of contributors follows: OLD GUARD (up to 1905) (27.84%) William F. Bagby, '81, David M . Ramsay, '84, Albert M. Au st in, '87, W. H . Baylor, '88, J. T. No ell , Jr ., '88 E. T .

General Electric Lights The Way The University of Richmond 's Alumni Fund , as well as similar alumni funds throughout America, received a boost this year through the establishment of separate but similar "gift matching" programs by General Electric Corporation and Scott Paper Company . Under provisions of these plans, General Electric Corporation and Scott Paper Compan y foundations will match, on a dollar for dollar basis, any contributions by their employees to the employee 's Alma Mater . The GE Corporate Alumnus Program was announced in January of 1955 and will be administered by the General Electric Educational and Charitable Fund. Scott Paper Com pany's plan, made public in June of this year, is called the College Alumnus Contribution Plan and its operation is centered in the Scott Paper Company Foundation. If, through the leadership supplied by these two splendid corporations, dollar for d?llar gift matching becomes a generally accepted policy of all large national Corporations , Alumni Funds everywhere will benefit greatly through the years ahead. If you are an employee of either General Electric Corporation or Scott Paper Company, you can be proud of your Company for the extra aid it is offering your Alma Mater through their willingness to match your own contributions. . . Equally important is the fact that if you work for anot~er la_rg~ nat1o~~I corp?rat1~n perhaps a word to your public relations officers may result in a similar dec1s1on which will enable each of your dollars given Alma Mater to earn an additional dollar .

[ 10]

increasingly complex affairs of the College. It was a wise move, and the choice of a president was most fortunate. Dr. Frederic William Boatwright, an alumnus of the Class of 1888 and , at the age of twenty-six, the youngest member of the faculty, was offered the presidency in December. Against the advice of many friends, as well as his father, he accepted the offer and assumed the duties in -June 1895. Immediately, under the aggressive and tireless leadership of President Boatwright, the College began to prosper. He led campaigns for funds to construct two greatly needed buildings, he strengthened the curriculum, added to the endowment, and in 1898 admitted young women under certain restrictions. The most notable single achievement of his long administration, however, was the removal of the institution to the spacious new campus in the western suburbs of the City. During the first decade of this century the City of Richmond was rapidly expanding westward, surrounding the old campus of thirteen acres. At the same time the College was growing and experiencing the restrictions of its limited campus. Durin g these years there was a developing sentiment among Vir ginia Baptist leaders that a strong college for women should be established. It was eventually decided that all forces should cooperate in raising half a million dollars to construct on a 300-acre campus buildings for Richmond College and for a new woman's college, Westhampton. Aided by a generous grant from the General Education Board, the funds were raised, the buildings erected, and classes began on the new campus in September 1914. Twenty-two former co-eds in Richmond College formed the nucleus of the 82 women enrolled in Westhampton College that first session. In that year, also, the property of the Woman's College of Richmond, a successor to Richmond Female Institute founded in 1854, was transferred to the Trustees of Richmond College, and in 1916 the Woman 's College was closed, with fifteen of its students also transferring to Westhampton. When our country entered World War I, the campus was turned over to the United States Army for use as a hosp ital, and during the session of 1918-19, Richmond College, Westhampton College, and the Law School moved back to the old campus and its environs. After one year Richmond College and Westhampton College, returned to the new campus, and the Law Sd10ol remained in old Columbia building at Grace and Lombardy Streets for thirty-five years until 1954. University of Richmond The institution entered upon a new period of growth on its beautiful new campus, and in 1920 it was decided to amend the charter and change the name to University of Richmond. At that time there were 628 students, 46 faculty members, campus property valued at $1,398,685, endowme nt of $1,130,677, and a total income of $20'1,402. In 1920 the first Summer Session was con-

the Civil War, of perhaps the first Department of English in the country. Requiremen ts for admission and for graduation have been maintained at a high level. In summary, the curriculum has been sound, instruction superior, and standards high. Integrity and Honor. From the beginning integrity and honesty have marked the institution in its various relationships. For example, although founded in 1830 and chartered in 1840, the College did not award a degree until 1849, when it felt it was qualified to grant a sound degree. In the first catalogue of Richmond College there appeared this announcement, which was continued until degrees were awarded: "As the trustees are determined to avoid pecuniary embarrassment, they propose to conduct the college classes only so far as their resources may justify, taking care to have the students thoroughly taught as far as they shall go. It is not their purpose to confer degrees until they shall have afforded facilities for education equal to those of other d1artered institutions." This statement represents the basic integrity of the institution. Another illustration of this quality is the wise and conservative financial policy that has preserved every dollar placed in the endowment since the Civil War. Moreover, under this sound fiscal management the institution has operated within its annual budget since 1895 without incurring a deficit. That is a record of which all friends of the University can be proud. When the College reopened after the Civil War, among the new rules was this: "Discipline is to be maintained not so much by minute regulations as by cultivating among the students the sentiment of personal honor and responsibility." This placing of greater reliance on the integrity of students was the beginning of the honor system in which we have such pride. Integrity and honor have given character to this institution through the years. The Spirit of the University. In June 1890 Dr. Robert Ryland, at the age of 85, returned to the College to deliver the Alumni address. Discussing the early years of the institution he said, ."It is a Baptist College in no narrow, bigoted sense. Pupils of every creed and of no creed have been, and will be, received on the same terms, and treated with equal justice and consideration. Even professors have been, and will be, chosen without prejudice on account of variant religious affinities. We have founded the College primarily for the elevation of our own ministry and people, and secondarily for the improvement of the whole country." It may also be added that, similarly, non-Baptists as well as Baptists through the years have served as members of the Board of Trustees. There has never been a narrow spirit of intolerance at this institution, social, religious, or economic. Faculty and students have never been restricted here in their search for truth. Everyone has been free to follow the inquiries of his mind and the dictates of his conscience without fear of interference or recrimination. (Continued on page 32)

Alumni, Coach to Pick ALL-TIME U. OF R. ELEVEN Here it is! The chance many of you have wanted for years. You have been argu ing the relative merits of University of Richmond football players , past and present, and the bull sessions have usually been broken off with "Some of these days I am going to pick an All-Tim e University of Richmond Football Team," or, "W hy doesn't someone pick an All-Tim e Team ?" Who is most competent to pick such a team? Why, you, of course 1 Well, why don't you do it? Oh I you have been waiting for someone to start the ball rolling . Well, it has been started. The N ew York Alumni Chapter started it last January . They suggested that Mac Pitt , '18, Dr. Ralph McDan_el, â&#x20AC;˘1~, and Joe Nettl es, '30, ~~ould be an original committee of three and assooate with themselv es four add1t1onal alumni who have been followers of the University's football fortunes through the years. This Committee of Seven was to select the All -Tim e University of Richmond Football T eam. In performing this task the Committee was to get help from past and present Richmond football _coaches and present and former _coaches of our traditional rivals as far as available. Finally, the Committe e was to invite and urge all interested alumni to get in the game and send in their nominations . This is where you come in. You have been contending that Joe Doakes was a better quarterback than Jim Whosit. All right, nom inate Joe and see what others think! Incidentally, the Committ ee of Seven consists of the three selected by the N ew York Alumni Chapter and the following: John J. Wi cker , Jr. , '13; J. Earle Dunford , ' 15 ; Joe DeMott , '27; Walter Clayton, '36. They are ready a:nd eager to receive your suggestions, so let them come. Remember there are eleven positions on a football team but if you can' t think of the best man for every position send in a partial list. And send all nominations to Joseph E. Nettles , University of Richmond, Va. If you desire, you may use the form printed below _t_olist your choices. Do~ Âˇt feel obliged, however, to pick a person for each position. If you_want to wnte a letter to the Committee explaining some of your ch~ices~that will be fine . . But with or without a letter, please get your nommat10ns to the Committee immediately. RCM

"Of course, one of the best things about going away is getting back home, and so I was glad to return to the Workshop and the happy life here, conscious of the real and precious tie that binds together us missionaries in Malaya. "This is a time of great celebration among the Tamils, Buddha's Birthday , I am told. Yesterday afternoon crowds of people went to an Indian temple here, and at night a huge procession followed a figure of him ( I guess) through the stree ts. They passed our corner about nine and waked me about one on their return. I have no Tamil friend to exp lain the significance of their various rites, but hope to find out before coming home. There is much walking on live coals and piercing the body at such a time. Alor Star is a comparatively small place, but the thousands of Tamils on every side with no one to tell them The Story tug at one's heart. "Too, this is the Mu slim Fast Month. No drink or food can be taken from sun-up to sun-down, and this necessitates quite a change of schedule, with cooking and eating during the nights. How faithful many Malays as well as Indians are!

To those of us who were absent, we missed you; letters from Cakie, Cornelia and Lib Jones were read with avid interest, but we wished you could be there to g ive us your news in person. To those who are afraid to come back for fear of disillusion . .. grow up! W e from out-of-town appreciate deeply the hard work and careful planning of the Richmond girls, who were gracious and generous hostesses as always. The class supper at Virginia Prince Shinnick's lovely home kindled our rediscovery of each other, and of course the breakfast

MRS. JESSE R. HITE Lucile Church Hite died at her home in Hagerstown, Maryland, on May 5, 1955 after being in declining health for the past two years. She was born in Danville, Virginia, and was educated in the public schools there and at Westhampton College where she received her B.A. degree in 1931. She was very active in church work. She is survived by her husband, the Reverend Jesse R. Hite, pastor of the Virginia Avenue Baptist Church in Hagerstown, Maryland. MRS. NA THAN HELLER Minna Thalhimer Heller died on December 27, 1954 in Tucson, Arizona. She was educated in the public schools of Richmond

and at Richmond College, where she received her B.A. degree in 1906. She was very active in the National Council of Jewish Women, having served as President of the Richmond Section, as a national director, and as President of the Mid-Atlantic States Conference of the National Council of Jewish Women. She was the first recipient of the Richmond Jewish Council's "Woman of the Year" award. Mrs. Heller served as a director-at-large of the Virginia League of Women Voters, a member of the executive committee of the Richmond Community Chest, Chairman of the Council Neighborhood House, member of the board of directors of the Richmond Travelers ' Aid Society, and chairman of the Home Service Division of the Richmond Chapter of the Ameri can Red Cross.

at Miss Lough 's on Sunday was the climax of a happy weekend. Conversation ran the whole gamut of feminine experience , from our symptoms and our op erations to politi es and social problems. Helen Bowman Lieb and Sarah Cohn Ettenheim lead us all in participation in public affairs on a national scale , but many others ar e forceful in community activities and get on soap boxes occasionally for the good of the local scene . I am sure Miss Lough felt that her lecture on the Suffragettes had not been in vain! 25 of us in all att ended the various functions, including 4 Ex- ' 30s, among our most enthusiastic members. Our children added great ly to our happiness; the Shinnick girls helped graciously at the supper while Dickie Connell snapped candid shots of us in informal (mostly eating) poses; Margaret Logan and Katherine Parr (Westhamption Âˇ 5 7) and Margaret Overton assisted at the breakfast . All class children were politely tolerant but we are sure their real reaction was voiced by Jimmie Overton when late Sunday night he quothe: "Aren 't you-all talked out yet? " Margaret Flick Clark (Mrs. Robert S.) 141-21 Union Turnpike, Flushing, N . Y .

we all spent together at Westhampton . She is survived by her husband , Jesse Hite, 2027 Virginia Avenue, Hagerstown , Maryland. Louise Waller St. George has a son at V. M. I., who is in his second year of Pre-Med work and hopes to fo ll ow in his fat her 's footsteps.

Katherine Hesby 's mother and husband were both ill in February. When Glenn came home from the hospital, they moved to the Chesterfield Apart ment temporarily so that they could be near their work. They manage the dining room there and are noted for their wonderful meals. I had a letter from Ruth Cole Weber telling of keeping a littl e German baby girl in the daytime whi le her mother was away on a three months' trip to Germany to visit her parents. The baby's fat her is a rocket scientist who works with Matt at the plant in Huntsville. Ruth also mentioned that her eldest son is p laying cell o in the newly organized Civic Orchestra there. Phyllis had an interesting Jetter from Julia Anne tellin g of her sons' plans for the summer. Alan will return to the farm where he works each summer. He hopes to take up agricultura l engineering when he goes to college. Robert will go to a camp in Minnesota where he will work in the dining room for part of his tuition.

Surely wish you out-of-towners could have come to some of the fine programs the Alumnae Club here in Richm ond has had this year. Valerie has done a wonderful job as program chairman . Eleanor Ewell has a new job in the office of Dr . Randolph H oge down at MCV . She reports that Pat has the role of M artha Carr in "The Common Glory" this summer . Pat has also had a leading role in the Production of "She Stoops to Conquer" which was given each Friday night this spri ng at the Reception Center in Williamsburg. Almarine Franklin recently received an award for a period of service with the American Red Cross . who Several members of our class-housewives gotten together for cokes don't work ( ? )-have and chatter in the homes of Helen D eck and Jane Gray. Kitty Luning and Ann Sadler Garret had their baby boys to brag about but Liz Brauberger, Katherine Hesby, Cappy, Hel en, Jane and I found other things to talk to Jean Thomas and Mary Mathews about. We all extend our sympathy to Cappy in the loss of her father in March . Frank was on sea duty at that time and was unable to get back, but came later for a stay with Cappy and the girls. He wiJI be based in Washington for a while , but Cappy plans to stay on in Richmond and will move in June to 2512 Hanover Avenue. Frank is slated for retirement in a couple of years and we hope they plan to make Richmond their permanent home. Your secretary has taken on the job of pub licity cha irman for the James River Woman 's Club next year so I shall need your he lp in gathering Bulletin material more than ever. Don't let me down !

Secretary MRS. C. M. TATUM (Gladys Smith) 2105 Rosewood Avenue, Richmond 20, Va.

Seldom has the Class of 1935 had so much caus e for pride as in the enthusiastic response sho wn for our 2-0th reunion . Our graduating class had 47 members ( one of whom we have lost , Margaret Whitesel Martin , who was drowned in 1950). At the reunion parties, we had 25 members present , p lus 5 girls who stopped before graduating. And in the scrapbook compiled by Susan Whittet Wilson , we had long friendly letters , enclosing photographs of husbands and children. Thirty-nine of our graduates married and had 74 children , ranging in ages from one to nineteen. Next to keeping house , the most popular occupation is teaching; many combine the two. Six members. of our class have earned Master 's degrees: Manan Allport Foley from University of Pennsylvania; Otelia Fra ncis Bodenstein, Cornell University; Mary Ann e Guy Franklin, University of Virgini ~; Kather ine Grace, Teachers College, Columbia; Marg aret Taylor Gallaway, University of Kentucky ; H arriet Walton, University of Rich-

mond. Three are studying evenings and summers with M.A.'s their goa ls. Our classmates are active in civic and church affairs, many of them being officers in the PTA , A.A.U.W. , and den mothers for their children's scout troops. Miss Turnbull, at one of our parties , expressed the amazement of all of us at the number of things Westhampton graduates do , in addition to making homes, and the Class of '35 is typical. Estelle Veazey Jones started the reunion proceedings on Friday, June 3, with a delightful buffet dinner at her home on Arlington Circle. Miss Keller, Mrs. Booker, Miss Roberts, and Miss Crenshaw , aJI of whom had engagements with other classes, joined us. Dr. Jean Gray Wright, our faculty adviser, was with us at Estelle's, and on Sunday morning she invited us to coffee at her charming home in a glen off Old Mill Road. She served the coffee from a large silver tray that had been presented to her at Saturday's luncheon by the Alumnae Association, in celebration of her 25th anniversary at Westhampton College . Rhea Talley made a very clever presentation speech. Also on Saturday, we saw one of our class, Mary Mills Freeman, elected president of the Alumnae Association. Mary presented Miss Crenshaw with the Alumnae Association's gift on her retirement from Westhampton College. "It doesn't seem that 20 years have passed!" was the refrain of all the letters in the scrapbook . One letter was written in French to Miss Wright by Hazel Weaver Fobes, who has lived for the past two years in Vaucresson, France, just outside Paris . Hazel's husband John is with the American Embassy in Paris. They have a girl 12 and a boy 7, and are making collections of copper, brass, stamps, old prints, and dolls of many nations. We heard from a member who lives on a boat, Otelia Francis Bodenstein. She and her husband William have a boat anchored off their 73-acre tree farm at Crownsville, Maryland. Both of them are entomologists with the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Some of the gir ls who came from a distance for the reunion were Mildred Epes White of Blackstone, Peggy Brown Dixon and Helen Caulfield Ball?-rd of- Norfolk, Nan Owen Manning of Arlington , Minnie Smith of Delaplane, Betsy Cannon Kimball of Arlington, Ellen Barnard Wallinger of Ashland, Margaret Gravatt Varkentine of Beaverdam, Elizabeth Clary Broaddus of Harrisonburg, Marjorie Puryear Carwile of Edmonston, Maryland , Evelyn Wycoff Eure of Drexel Hill, Pennsylvan ia, and Rhea Talley of New York. Bits of news we gleaned about girls from whom we seldom hear: Sue Cook McClure Jones, whose address is 4169 Via Solano, Palos Verdes Estates, California, wrote that she contemplated postponing a vacation cruise to Hawaii and Guatemala in order to attend the reunion. Her husband, Arthur, expects a two-year hitch in Europe soon. Their children are Kay, who is in junior high school, Gifford, who is in high school, and Allen, who is 9. Mary Harrington Meaker lives at 32 Putnam Street, Winthrop , Massachusetts, a place with a big yard that appea ls to her youngsters, Diane Sue, 7; Sheldon, Jr., 6; and Kristin Erika, S. Her sister, Alice Harrington Hunt, lives at 1183 Weston Street, North Augusta, South Carolina . Her children are Daniel, 12; Julie, 10; and Peter, 8. Margaret Walker Knowlton, who will soon move from Southampton, Massachusetts, to Wilmington, Delaware, holds the record for children, five of 'em, with Mary Mills Freeman . Margaret's are: Linda, 15; Marsha, 13; Eleana, 11; Brad, 7; Randy, 1. (Mary has four sons and one daughter.) Chicago is temporarily home for Lucille Drake, who is on loan from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond to the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago for work in connection with the Conference of Presidents of the Federal Reserve Banks. Her address in Chicago is Wellington Arms Hotel, Apt. 1001, 2970 North Sheridan Road. Betsy Cannon Kimball, from whom we have had little news lately, reported in person three children, Dani el, Jr., 16; Karen, 15; Andy, 13, a hobby of raising Persian cats, and lots of civic work .

Alumnae Choose Mrs. Freeman Westhampton Alumnae can be assured of first class leadership from Mary Mills Freeman, '35, who will serve as president of the Alumnae Association for the next two years. She can be expected to give to the job the same enthusiasm and effort that made her a leader on the campus during her undergraduate years. She has been quite active too since her graduation . In addition to all the duties connected with taking care of a husband and a family of five children, she has found time to engage in the dramatic activities of the Tuckahoe Woman's Club in Richmond. For vice president the alumnae elected Estelle Kemper Butler, '18, who was recently elected an honorary member of the University's Epsilon chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. Mrs. Butler has been active in commu nity work in Washington.

A wonderful trip is planned for late summer by Ellen Barnard Wallinger and her husband, Melvin, who recently resigned as U. S. Referee in Bankruptcy to practice law. The Lord Chief Justice of England has invited them to be his guests in London and on a tour of the English countryside. Their older son, Scott, has just distinguished himself by winning a $400 scholarship on his graduation from high school. She has another son, Bruce, age 9. When Laura May Thomasson Leitch's son Charles, age S, enters school in Annapolis, Laura May hopes to be teaching at his school. On her trip down to Richmond, Marjorie Puryear Carwile brought two sons, Alfred, age 16, and Daniel Ray, age on ly 15 months. Grace Ashton Nichols sent photographs of Brooks Ashton Nichols, age 18 months. She and husband Brooks ( the baby is called Ashton) live at 250A Rodgers Forge Road, Baltimore . He is director of public relations for the American Credit Indemnity Company. To Sue Whittet Wilson goes the distinction of having the only son in college . Buddy will be entering his sophomore year at Purdue University. School duties kept two of our teachers from the reunion-Gertrude Lewis in Culpeper and Katherine Grace in Port Washington, N. Y. Marian Allport Foley was detained in Warrenton when one of her twins had to have an operation . In a letter from Ashland, Kentucky, Tess Carter Hawkins told of her daughter Bev in junior high school and Sue in the fourth grade. Tess wrote, "I am just as tall as ever, and almos t as thin. I now have to wear glasses when I read, which is often , and when I sew, which is seldom." Anna Hallett Sniffen's children Timmy, 10, and Anne, 6, doubtless enjoy visiting their Dad at work-he's assistant director of that fascinating place, Mariner's Museum near Newport News. Mary Nelson Decker Pugh and husband, Tommy, who is minister of Williamsburg Baptist Church, have two sons, Nelson, 6Â˝, whom they adopted, and Mark, 3, their own. If the news reads better than usual this time, it's because we had a wonderful reunion and the impressions of it and much of the news were written by a professional, Rhea Talley. Rhea is not on ly a syndicated writer , having regular columns in the Louisville Courier-] ournal, the Memphis Commercial Appeal, and the Houston Post, but she does a great deal of free lance writing and is now also a successful lecturer, having just returned from a trip to the mid-West .

We enjoyed reading her contri bution s.

"Last year I decided I wanted a change and was all set to teach in British Columbia, Canada. My bubble popped when the teacher who was to exchange with me decided that Virginia was just too far away. But I was on my way to a month's workshop at the University of Chicago and couldn't spend much time mourning my misfortune . Once here I had a grand time , got a taste of some challenging new work in a wide open field ; and when the fall quarter opened I found myself once again sitting in classrooms doing parallel reading and writing papers . Now two quarters have passed - one more to gâ&#x20AC;˘"-and I hate to see the year end. "Life at International House is an educational

how much should

experience itself , but more than ever now I have the wanderlust . Making friends with people of other countries has made me want to visit these lands more than ever. "To practice some of the theories that I have been learning about reading, I do some work each week at the Chicago Reading and Speech Clinic in downtown Chicago. This is individual work with the boys and girls who have some reading difficulty. Also, I work in the University of Chicago Reading Clinic as part of my training. It is kind of a busy life trying to cram so much into one year, but I am enjoying it and getting much help in being a better teacher. This pretty much brings my wandering up to date." I would like my group leaders to get as much news as possible for the next Bulletin in to me by the end of July before I have to go to the hospital. This will enable me to get my next letter ready before I go.

1946 Secretary

MRS. J. RALPH SHOTWELL(Ding Lambeth) 7716 Rock Creek Road, Richmond 26, Va.

Relax and enjoy a short visit with the Class of '46 I First, let me take this opportunity to thank Alta on behalf of all of us for her faithful and devoted effort for the past nine years. How could we ever Jet her know how indebted we are for keeping us so well informed? Lelia Phillips' engagement to Robert Toone was announced in April. Lelia, you remember, transferred from WC after her sophomore year and graduated from the U . of N . C. We congratulate her on her very wise choice for Bob graduated from U. of R. and is teaching now. The wedding is August 6th, at Second Baptist Church . Jeanne Yeamans is one of her attendants. Libby Thompson Schmidt with her four-year-old daughter Lee was pictured in the April 17th Sunday Times-Dispatch Features by Edith Lindeman under the title "Dancers Prove It's Spring." Libby was dressing up Lee's practice leotard with a fresh skirt and adding a big hat for the recital. In looking over the address list Alta sent I find we probably don 't have the up-to-date addresses of Zu Anderson Walters, Betty Bowdler Muirden , and Frances Newman. How about it, girls? On WTVR 's Traffic Safety Council 's _program "'Play It Safe" whom should we see but Dot Albertson Tyler! Dot, who was with us our freshman year, has been a policewoman for two years . Seeing her looking so prim and smart in her brown uniform, you 'd never guess that she and Lewis have a boy 9. I saw Elsie Henley DiServio in the super market not long ago. They still live out Manakin way but Tony is in the insurance business for himself no-w. Since Virginia Gibson Stewart stopped working in May, she's had much more time to enjoy her lovely new brick ranch home at 1008 Sharon Lane here in the city. Pat Husbands Berton received a nice letter from Julia Willis Philip (194 East Âˇ End Ave., New York, N. Y.) who has two boys- John almost two and William almost one . Van Ness, her husband, writes for one of the McGraw Hill Publishing Company's magazines. They 've been in N. Y . for three years and have an apartment just opposite the Mayor 's house. Her mother-in-law has apple orchards up the Hudson a bit and they go up almost every week-end from Easter to Thanksgiving. We sympathize with Pat who is teaching Sunday School to about 25 three-year-olds. Mark takes advantage of her being there and is just about the worst one . Bill Berton is now chief-of-service and only pathologist at the hospital. Alta was smarter in picking a 4th Grade Sunday School Class to teach-much easier on the nerves. She and Dowell are very ambitious be-

cause she writ es they are making kitchen cabinets. Nancy Todd Lewis gets to Richmond quit e often. H er daught er, J ackie, is jus t darling with all the charm of a one-year-old . At our church 's Mother-D aug hter Banquet J oyce Eubank Todd gave the tribute to "Moth ers." She also taught a mission study class on Al aska to about 25 young people -a nd did a beautiful job. The job of Alumni Secretary for the Medical Coll ege ha s ke pt Anne Skinner very busy these past four years since it includes lots of meetings and trav el. H elen, please send us some news about our Baby Cup Girl Barbara Ann Dunnavant. We'd love to hear how the twin s are too. It was grand to see France s Bleight Elliott when she was here for an Easter vacation. Marion Lawt on Kin zey says her oldest boy lik es schoo l but these sh ifts can complicate one's day. Sharing an apa rtm ent with a girl who is a lab technician at the Winch ester Ho spita l is loads of fun for Winifr ed Hamblet on who loves teaching , but st ill finds time for bridg e and taking trips in her car. Th e Class of '46 is proud of M ary Frances Beth el W ood who was recent ly elected Pesident of th e Penin sula Alumna e Club . She was very fortunate in having her parents baby-sit for her to attend the Vir ginia Federa tion of Women's Clubs convention at the Chamberlin. Shirley Kruger Lerner atte nd ed the Alumnae Club meeting too. She wor ks at her husband's store , but plans to stop soon . H er daughter, Ruth , is now four. H ave a nice vacation, but please don 't forget to remember your group leader with a newsy card.

1947 Secretary

Miss ISABELAMMERMAN 906 Park Avenue, Richmond, Va.

She and her mother drove down. Buddy and Betty Brown Parsons also took a trip in M ay. They went to Sea Island , Georgia, for ten days. Bob and Lavinia Watson Reilley have another son that was born this wint er. ]. B . and J anie Copenhaver Hud son also have a new son-the ir second-w ho was born this winter. Copie, will you also send us his name and bir.th dat e? W e are proud of Betty Tinsley And rews-she was elected president of the Hi gh land Park Juni or W oman 's Club this sprin g. Tina Clauter Stapleton writes that she and her fami ly are now living in H olden, Massachusetts. Pat Guild Robertson writes that Claudia and Johnny are grow ing fast and keen her busy. Her address has changed . It is now Route 2, Box 242, Princess Anne, Vi rginia. I want to thank all of you for send ing in your Alumn ae Contributions thi s year and also for helping us write these letters by dropping us letters and post cards throughout the year. Keep up the good work!

She is go ing first to the Baptist World Alli ance in London. Ru ssell Elliott Ewing is plan ning a return trip to Europe. She "toured " last year. Florence Lide and Bi l I Snider welcomed the third member of the Snider Sister Act, Marc h 5. Littl e Flore nce Lide is reported to be another brown-eyed brunette beauty lik e her sisters. Jo H oover and Bob Pittman's trio was completed the next day, March 6, when Victoria Leigh was born. We 're a littl e late in congratu lating th e Whites on their son, Willi am Branch.

I would be most appreciative. We assume, Julie Moller, you will be changing your address. Please let us know when and where. Jane (Sanford) Jennings now lives in Aiken, South Carolina at 1925 Hahn Avenue. Janie (Gutfreund) Schmidt writes that she and Warren have bought a house in Larchmont and plan to move June 3. She reports that it is quite old and small , but has lovely grounds which will keep Warren busy. Her new address is 85 Stuyvesant, Larchmont, New York. In the last issue I mentioned that Flo (Gray) and Tommy Tullidge had moved; their new address is 751 Hillcrest Drive, Staunton, Virginia. The new address of Kit (Vander Schalie) and Harry Pedersen will be 372 5 East 15 3 Street , Seattle 55, Washington. Tell us all about your adventure west.

Compliments

Several of your addresses are extremely outdated. Lynn (Gilmer) Guilford's last letter went by way of Japan before it reached her in Aberdeen, Maryland. She and Bill left Japan June a year ago, and since then have been in Aberdeen. They had a wonderful year abroad, even ran into a W.C. girl, Allan Rucker, who was teaching in the Sagamihara area. Recently Lynn's family increased to include a son, Billy, born April 3. Their daughter, Lynnie, was three years old April 4. Because they move so frequently, Lynn suggests we use her permanent address at "Woodbourne," Louisa, Va. In that way she will receive her mail within a few days. Jean (Harper) Sellars would love hearing from some of us. Her address is Parkview Apts. B-C, Fayetteville, Arkansas. She's doing nicely, but misses Richmond. Mary (Burnett) and Tom Small have also moved. They and their daughter have been living in Fort Worth for a year. Tom is completing his seminary work and received his B. D. degree in May. Mary is working as a receptionist for General Steel Company. Her daughter, Mary Ester, is quite a young lady of 21/z years, and talks well for her age. Mary and Tom have been mission volunteers for some time. In April they received their formal appointment from the Foreign Mission Board to Rhodesia, South Africa. Until they get settled in their new home, Mary asked that we use her parents ' address which is Route 1, Box 290, Danville, Virginia. Mitzi (Verra) Williams is a beaming wife. Jack has received a fellowship from the Council of Southern Universities. He will use the fellowship to further his studies toward his Ph. D. at the university of his choice. The stork did not overwhelm us as he has done at other times. Anne Garland Tullidge just missed the last bulletin. She was born at 8:30 A.M. March 15. Flo and Tommy are so pleased. Aggie will have a playmate. Catherine Marshall Townes, better known as Katie, was born in March. Her proud parents are Kitty (Wyatt) and Fred Townes. Susan (Dickinson) and Went Hurt are delighted with the arrival of their daughter, Laura Louise, born April 20. Un like Hobson, their three-year-old, Laura is a brunette. Carolyn (Bonham) and Charles Thompson had their third-Susan Patricia-in April. Pat (Allen) Winters has a son, Michael Burke, born May first. Pat and Austin are moving into their new home in July. On May 9, John Spencer Anderson Gill arrived. Mimi (Anderson) and Bill Gill are thrilled with their second son who has carrot red hair. On May 12 James Ronald arrived at his new home. He found his parents, Kit (Vander Schalie) and Harry Pedersen, were most pleased with him. Through Martha Hall we located Betty (Fleshman) Doull who is living in Cleveland, Ohio. She is teaching while her husband is taking a twoyear internship. Their address is 11483 Hessler Road. Mag (Knapp) Howe's boy Jaby celebrated his third birthday May 26 with his first big party. Chris Goforth, son of Joyce (Roberson) and Frosty, celebrated his first birthday on May 18. Joyce is doubly busy because she has been teaching since last November. She finished out the school year for another teacher and is planning to return to the classroom next fall. In the meantime she is taking a refresher course for five weeks in summer school at Mary Washington College. Willard Korb has become station examiner for Esso and has to travel through Virginia. Dot has enjoyed seeing several 49'ers recently. Shirley (Armstrong) Sutton came to see her this spring, and brought her daughter, Linda. Ann (Wilson) Bryant and Caroline (Lynn) Do yle stopped by to see Dot also. The chatter was rapid as they caught up on the news. Brooke (Triplett) Grove stayed at home and spent much time working in the yard of their new home this past year. She has also continued her interest in music by taking p ipe organ lessons. Mag (Knapp) Howe and Betty (Evans) Hopkins were very disappointed not to see any other 49'ers at May Day this year.

Anne (Rice) White had a picnic this spring and included several classmates, Ruby (Patterson) Weber, Liz (Webb) Woody, Mag (Knapp) Howe and Betty (Evans) Hopkins. Libby (McNeal) Claybrook sent a newsy letter about her activities at Colonial Beach. She has taken a part in the organization of the Girl Scouts. She works with twenty girls from 10 to 14, who, as you can guess, are quite lively. Libby has also become active in her church choir and gui ld . Liz (Webb) Woody wanted to know if it were news that she had the mumps this spring . It would have been news to me, Liz, if I had been in your shoes! Audrey (Bradford) Saupe reports she has had enough! She is retiring from the teaching profession and is going to make her home a full time career-that is with the exception of a few extracurricular activities. Abie did see Jane (Dens) McManigal during Easter vacation. Densie and Mick are busily doing over their house which will require a good deal of hard work. Good luck to you, McManigals. Mick has changed jobs and is work ing as a salesman for Westinghouse in the lamp division. Abie also received a letter from "Ish" Taylor who has rented a house in Miami. I had a brief, but welcomed letter from Flo (Gray) Tullidge. Anne Garland is an angel and a real pleasure to her parents. Flo reports of Cary (Walker) Crane who has two d1ildren , Pamela Richmond , 21/z, and Timothy Nelson, born September 15, 1954. Her present address is 3810 Sereno Ave ., Altudena, California. We hear that Jackie (Smith) Hogen may move to Franklin, Virginia. H er husband has a new job there. Plans are being formulated for some interesting trips this summer. Peggy Hassell, her parents, and May Lee Yook, hope to vacation through the New England states and part of Canada. Mary Ann (Peddicord) Williams and family p lan to spend the month of July at Sandy Point where Pam can play in the sand and water. Mary Ann and Bo hope to enjoy several weeks at Sea Island the first of August. Betty (Evans) Hopkins went to West Virginia in June for her sister's wedding. In talking with Mitzi (V erra) Williams I learned that Alda (Marlin) and Bob Noftsinger were in Richmond for a two week visit from Wilmington, Delaware. Mitzi and Jack also had had the pleasure of visiting Sally (Van Dyke) and Art Wood. Mitzi was fascinated by Art's telling of his work as a cartoonist for the Richmond New Leader. Recently he had an article in the paper about his collection of famous cartoons. It seems that when he was a young lad he would write famous cartoonists, asking for an autographed, original cartoon . The Museum is now displaying his unique collection. Art recently attended a convention in Williamsburg where he met Milton Caniff and many other fa. mous cartoonists. Did you know Rosie (C alhoun) McCarty moved to Marion in June? Jack will be in Cities Service Oil business with Mr. Calhoun. Their address is 323 West Main Street , Marion, Virginia. Miss Rivenburg addressed the Blacksburg chapter of A. A. U. W. in April and Rosie had her and Anne (Bing) Abbitt for lunch. Bobbie (Rhodes) Barker reports that Gail looks just like Bill. She is so good that at six weeks she was sleeping from 7 P.M. until 6 A.M. Chip D avis, son of Elaine (Leonard) and Bill Davi s does equa lly as well. Did you know that Mary Clare (Dougherty) Wohlford is in Charlottesville? Her husband is working on his Master's degree at U. Va. Marilyn (Alexander) Kubu visited her parents in New Jer sey in the spring while Ed was travelling. He gave a seminar at Michigan State College. Olive (Tr ader) and Martel Dailey are planning to build a new home. They have decided they need more room to accommodate tlieir two little ones. Peg (Reyn olds ) and Jim Nolan have a new home in Maple Hill Farms which is just O"Jtside of Westfield. After living in an apa rtment , they are delighted. Let us know your new address, Peg.

1950 Secretary Mrss PEGGY WELLS 3105 Stonewall Avenue , Richmond, Virginia

News, news , news I The woods are full of it . The reunion has come and gone, but memories of the shouts of greeting to old chums and close friends as friendships were once again renewed will linger in our hearts and minds for some time to come. It was a wonderful time we had in old Richmond town this June 3rd week-end. Some of our " Jong distance commuters" included :·B" Covington O'Flaherty from Pensa-cola, Fla ., Hilda Moore Hankins from Columbia, S. C., Ludie Hickerson Wiley from Boston , Mass . and bless Pat if a ray of sunshine didn 't slip in all the way from California in the form of Libby Rouse Wi lson. The shock of the evening came, however, when who should very unexpectedly drop in from Tu lsa, Okla. but Nancy Chapin Phillips . It was a real honor to have all you gals from so very far away . Those from "away " but not "way away " included Betty Lane Barnhill from Abingdon, Va ., Janice Brandenburg Halloran from Arlington, Barbara Lee Jones from Berryville, Va., Ida Smith from Wi lliamsburg, Aggie Feild Burke from Alexandria, Win Schanen Mitchell from Rosemont , Pa ., Fran Sutton O liver from Covington, Va. , Helen Lampa thakis Kostyal from Hampton , Betty Sims Loving from Goldsboro , N. C., Wilda Whitman Oak ley from Portsmouth , Jean Bishop and Ginny Brinson from Norfolk , Ellen Largent from Washington, Marjorie Parson Owen from Jarratt, Jane Pitt Robinson from Fries, Va., and Penny Wilks Fitzgera ld from Fayetteville, N. C. Those from surroundi ng territory included Mary Howard Holloway and Gatewood Ho lland Stoneman. An unexpected pleasure was the arrival of Mary Sue Mock from the Marine base in Quantico, Va. The grandest surprise of all was seeing several members of the class who were not with us for all four years , and whom we were doubly glad to see, since we hadn 't seen them for twice as long. Pat Richmond Nuckols from Sabot , Va., Lucia MacC lintock Barbour and Mary Byrd Hudson Goforth from Winchester, Va. , and Marty Lowry Greene from St. Mary 's City , Md. came from outof-town , and from here in Richmond were Tucky Bellows Morrissett and Kitty Rosenberger Garber. Many ga ls from town , of course, were present , accounted for , and deserve much unrequited praise for their role in playing "hostes s" to our out-oftown "guests. " Had it not been for their willingness, enthusiasm, and ever present cooperation (typical '50 style), this might have been a mammoth project instead of a very pleasant and most enjoyable week-end of fun and memories. From all of the Class of ' 50 goes many thanks to each of you who played a vital part in making this whole reunion a successful realization. Now then , I think the roll has been called pretty well , and for goodness' sake, if anyone has been left out , forgive the " unpardonable sin. " Needless to say, a good time was had by all, and those of you who couldn 't be present for one reason or another, we missed you and hope you were with us in spirit. Please make plans, everybody , to be here in '60 , because there's more fun in store then, too . And now to elaborate a little on activitiesthe picnic Friday night at Vivian Betts Lewis' home was great 1 ! The food was delicious, but

everyone was so excited (and hungry , we might add) that we could have eaten dried sticks and have hard ly known the difference. Just about th e time everyone had started munching on each other 's arms from starvation , and just about the time we almost had everyone fixed, who should appear in Vivian 's back yard but Dean Gray and a photographer who wanted to take an alumna e picture . Have you ever tried to herd forty-three starved and highly excited females together for a picture ? Place that endeavor at the bottom of y"our list, then. Well , we got the photograph made, and I think somebody ate one of the photographer 's legs before he could get away. We had a visit from one of our most favorite " 50'ers"-Miss Rudd came by just to say "hi" to everyone, which was a much appreciated visit, to say the least. Pretty soon everyone was full , happy, and hoarse, and when the last remaining vestige of vocal cords disap peared, we all went home, leaving Vivian's neighborhood wondering to this day just exactly what had ·taken them by storm . And here and now , let me say on behalf of every single person who was present, how much we enjoyed and appreciated the hospita lity of Vivian Betts Lewis and W. P . when they extended their home to the Class of ' 50 for a mighty wonderful get-togther. Saturday found us all out at school wandering around the campus, wondering if we had ever looked as young and carefree as the kids we saw preparing for their "big day." The luncheon was nice, but the real treat came at 4 : 30 when we all gathered at Miss Rudd 's house for a tea which she so graciously gave for us. We had a fine time (still talking), and we all are sincerely grateful for the continued interest and friendship which Miss Rudd has shown us, not only when we were students, but now as graduates. Many thanks to you , Miss Rudd, from all of us . Well, there is other news to convey to the masses . .. some items of interest to all. Things are looking up . . . we do have an engagement to announce. Louise Covington 's head is so far up in the clouds that she has put the Sabre Jets to shame . She became engaged in March to Captain Harry Randall (USMC) and they are planning an August wedding . Harry is at present Commanding Officer of the Marine Detachment aboard the USS New Jersey . From the vital statistics bureau we report a baby girl, Mary Jane , born April 20 to Jane Pitt Robinson and Heiter. Little Grace and Robbie were as pleased as their Mom and Dad over the new arrival. Along the news line, we are proud to announce a promotion. Emma Tilman Kay has been made head seed ana lyst at Southern States Cooperative . Congratulations, Emma!! We have just re-discovered Lee Davis Head. Her very interesting Jetter brings us these items of her activities . Lee and her husband have one thing on the brain, " Puppets, puppets, puppets! " "At Christmas we played the Provincetown Playhouse on 133 Mac Dougal Street , New York. This is the famous theatre that pres-

ented shows by Sarg, Bufano and a lot of notable puppeteers. Miss Lutz would be interested to know that 50% of our audiences were always adult. " This summer Lee plans to return to Breadloaf to complete her work for a Master 's Degree. In Columbus, Ohio, Lee and her husband saw the famous Salzburg Marionettes. They stay on the "go" much of the time , and are planning to go to Indianapolis, Dayton, and then home. Since Christmas they've hit Key West , Pensacola, Columbus , Chicago, New York, and places between. It 's grand to hear such interesting news from you , Lee . . . please be sure to keep us posted on your " doings" and whereabouts. Here's a puzzle for you : Claire Noren Griffin 's sister will become her sister-in-law in June. No fooling, Claire's younger sister, Nancy, is being married in June to the brother of Claire's husband. We missed you at the reunion , Claire, but your absence couldn 't have been for a happier occasion. We hear from Joy Hull Bolte that her husband, Carlton , has received his appointment as a probation and parole officer. His territory is Dinwiddie County, Nottoway County , and the city of Petersburg , so they'll be moving again . Joy also writes that June 25 will find her in Roanoke to be in Miriam Weddle's wedding to Robert Whitt. Miriam, give us some more fill-in details , please ma'am. Miriam and Bob will be located in Roa -

noke, since Bob is educat ional director of Mir iam's church there. From Fran Sutton Oliver we learn that Marjorie Parson Owen is quite the active young woman, in addition to running her home efficiently. Marjorie has just joined the Women's Club and belongs to the A.A .U.W., and is president of the Woman 's Society of Christian Service in their church. Fran Sutton Oliver writes her news from Bluefield, W. Va. She called Fran Chandler, and Fran's plans are indefinite at this point, but she thinks she will go to New Mexico . Sounds like a nice trip. From Clarice Ryland Price, we learn that "Teeny" Huff von der Schulenberg and Fred plan to return to the States where Fred will work for ,the World Bank in Washington, D. C. We have almost nailed Pearl Kline Gross's whereabouts down. Jean Bishop, in her news coverage for the newspaper on a Civil D efense Program, found that Pearl was somewhat of a whee l in the direction of the entire program in Norfolk. Wish we could get up to date with you, Pearl.

We are sorry to see Tucky Bell ows Morrissett and Basil leave Richmond this summ er. Basil has taken ano ther step up the ladd er of success with IBM , and they will be locat ed in New York . Th ey have bought a house in Roslyn on Long Island . We'll miss you, and hope that you both will keep in close touch with us. Ann D orsey James writes that she and Jo e will take up roots from No rth Carolina and move to Memphis, Tenn . where Joe will be with the Buckeye Cotton Oil Company . It is a subsidiar y of Procter and Gamble, and Ann says "so from now on, all you ga ls please use the P and G prod ucts." Ann went to Memphis to look over things from the "fema le" viewpoint, and found things very satisfactory indeed. Sounds like Joe is very pleased and enth usiastic about the new location. Congratulations and good luck in your new posit ion . The "research" department has gotten a couple of statistics on the "gadding around" group. D ee Haskins Brawley was in Richmond over Easter from Wi lmin gton, D el. Easter-time also found Doris Lee Reeves Childress and Earl in the Smokies . D ot Maddox Sykes and Neil went to Chicago in May and did a little touring around wh ile they were up there. Barbara Coleman visited D ot Warner Gardner and " Doc " in Mollusk, Va. Barbara says that D ot has the cutest children. They are enjoying life in .the rural community. Barbara was quite impr essed with their " Back-yard supermarket"-they dip into the Rappahannock for a fresh supply of crabs, oysters, and fish. Janice Brandenb urg H alloran and Charlie recently went to visit Peggy King Nelson and Earl in Seaford, Del. Janice and Char lie enjoyed being in their spacious and lovely home, ther e. We were sorry to hear that Robbie, Mary Bowles .Flanagan's husband has been ill. We hope that by the time this Bu lletin has been sent, that he will be well on the road to recovery. Robbie will have to hurry and get we ll so that he can "hot-rod " around in their new Oldsmobile . And now a very personal note to the class from me. These past three years as your Class Secretary have been a real pleasure and a privilege, and I have honestly enj oyed it very much. The job has been an easy one, for the group leaders have offered much more than just their "share" of work and cooperation. These leaders actua lly have the tremendous respo nsibility of maintaining the contact of the class through the secretary. Their real enthu siasm and interest have kept our class remarkably well located. At our reu ni on meeting Friday night , Joyce Betts Pierce was elected as the new Class Secretary. She's equ ipped to do a terrific job of carrying on the news of our class ... but don 't forget, the class itself must continue to furnish the news , because the class is the news. Let's always make an extra effort to stick together and keep in close contact , for the Class of 1950 has many wonderful things to remember, not only during, but af ter their days at Westhampton.

Halifax Club President: MRs. ]AMES E. EDMUNDS,III (Lavinia Edmunds), Halifax , Virginia A meeting of the Halifax County Alumnae Club was he ld on May 19, at 8 :00 p.m. at the home of Betty Lawson Dillard in South Boston. In addition to a numb er of alumnae, many husbands were also present as especially inv ited guests. Miss Ke ller and Mrs. Booker came from West hampton for th e meeting, and Miss Keller showed slides and gave a talk on her trip to Egypt and Greece. The new officers elected were Lavinia Winston Edmunds, president, and Gene Austin Hall , secretary-treasurer.

New York Club President: Mrs JOSEPHINEMARTENS, 109 Elcock Ave ., Boonton , New Jersey Our Fall meeting was not a meeting in the strict sense of the word. We made a tour of the Cloisters, now a part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art , in New York City, on Saturday, October 9, 1954 . Although we missed some of our "o ld faithfuls," we were delighted to be joined by some new members. W e all had a gay tim e exploring the Cloisters and at evening a group had dinner together at one of the restaurants specializing in foreign foods. On February 25 and 26, I attended the Local Club Conference at Westhampton . Leslie Booker, Executive Secretary, and Elizabeth Wheeler , Local Club Chairman, were the guiding lights of the sessions on both Friday and Saturday. Might I say that it was most heartening to learn that other groups have problems that must be faced and, if possib le, solved? I learned about the other Alumnae Clubs ; but most important of all, I had an opportunity to get reacquainted with my Alma Mater , an experience I hearti ly recommend to every Westhamptonite be she a low ly member or President of a group! On Saturday , Apri l 23, 1955, we had a tea and meeting at Schrafft's Restaurant, 220 W_est 57th Street, New York. During the business meeting, the Treasurer delighted us with her report that our finances were remarkab ly solvent , so much so that we voted to send a contribution to the General Alum nae Fund earmarked for the swimming pool. The Secretary reported that our recent mai ling

:::::::::::m:::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::u:::::: :::::::::::u::::

had brought forth changes in address ( as always). Best of all , we picked up some new members . The Presidency was the on ly office to be filled at this time. Josephine Martens of Boonton, New Jersey, is my successor. The other officers are, Margaret Logan , Vice President-Treasurer, and Betty Newcombe, Secretary. The high point of the meeting came as Leslie Booker , our guest of honor , out lined to us the changes in facu lty, curriculum , buildings , etc., at Westhampton . Many times as she describ ed present day conditions, rul es and regu lations, we of another generation wondered whether we had in mind the same College. It is hard to realize, but it is now five years since I assumed the post of President of the New York Club. While I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience and my three visits to College , I feel it is norma l and healthy to have a change in administration. I have tried to give our members a sense of belonging together , to attain a continuity of meetings, and to foster a closer re lationship with our A lma Mater through the Genera l Alumnae Association.

Sixteen members of the Southwest Virginia Club gathered for a luncheon meet ing on April 16 at at Grant's Tavern , east of Christiansburg.

University of Richmond, 1830 -1 955 (Continued from page 11)

On this campus there have been breadth of opinion and freedom of expression to a degree that is rare in a church-related institution. From the beginning there has existed at this school a democratic spirit that is remarkable. There has been little of social caste or cliques in our student body. Whether resident or non-resident, employed or not employed, fraternity or non-fraternity, ministerial or non-ministerial, on scholarship or not, everyone is appraised on his or her merits. Opportunities, student offices, recognition, achievements are open alike to all. From those early years of manual labor, work has been respected on this campus. Through the years a large proportion of our students have labored, often at menial tasks, to secure the means of financing their education. Our urban location and the spirit of our school have made this possible. This respect for work is one of the foundations on which the University has been built. We have come far from the slab-covered log cabins of Spring Farm to the Gothic buildings on this beautiful campus, but may we never lose the spirit that places high esteem on honest toil. One other word about the spirit of our University. With each succeeding generation the students have enjoyed a larger degree of self-government. We are proud of the effective student government organizations and the extent to which our students assume the responsibilities of self-regulation and selfdiscipline. In this important way the young men and women here have developed a maturity that prepares them well for positions of leadership in the years ahead. The spirit of our University is marked by tolerance, freedom, democracy, and self-discipline. Spiritual Emphasis . Founded by Virginia Baptists to improve their ministry, and enlarged to provide a liberal education with emphas is on the moral and spiritual values of life, the University has remained close to the princip les of its founders. A primary objective has been the development of character in its students. It has sought their full development in heart and spirit as well as in mind and body to become mature men and women. This emphasis on Christian education has been a distinguishing characteristic that justifies its service as a church-related institution. The Baptists of Virginia have given strong support to the University through the years. At various times when the need was greatest -a fter the Civil War, in 1873, in 1910-14, in more recent years-whenever the call for assistance has gone out, the denomination has responded generous ly to the appeal. In return the University has produced a continuing flow of leaders, ministerial and lay, men and women, to carry forward the work of the denomination at home and abroad. The University, moreover, has maintained on its campus an atmosphere and a program that give students every opportunity and encourage[ 32]

ment to develop their spiritual lives. The denomination and the University have come a long way together since that early morning 125 years ago this week, and the growth of each has strengthened the other as both have sought to advance the Kingdom of God on this earth. CONCLUSION

As we look back over those years it is with an overwhelming sense of gratitude to the host of men, and women, whose vision, heroic sacrifices, faith, and tireless labor have given us the institution that we call the University of Richmond. Their achievements place ustrustees and officers, faculty, alumni, and students-under a heavy obligation to enrich this noble heritage and make it even more serviceable to the generations yet to come. If we adhere faithfully to the policies and principles of the past, if we remain true to the traditions and spirit of the University, if we accept the challenge of the vast opportunities that lie before us, we can face the future with every assurance that, with Divine Guidance, there will be a much greater University of Richmond during the next 125 years

Bigger Is Not Necessarily Better (Continued from page 5)

lege the number must be limited by facilities of faculty, class rooms, library , and labor atories. Any reasonable application of those limits as of now would result in a very small increase in enrollment. Many of us think in terms of 1000 students in Richmond College as the maximum number with our present facilities. If, then, our total enrollment can be only slightly increased the job of selection will be an even more important one. One of the criteria to be applied in the selection of students is that of our constituency. It should be remembered that a private school is under no legal compulsion to admit anyone. We admit those we choose to admit. Logically, they should come from those who have an interest in the University and contribute to its support. Our constituency is made up of three groups: the city of Richmond, the alumni, and the Baptists of Vir ginia. Let us examine it a little more closely. We have no obligation to the city of Richmond as a governmental unit for we have never received tax money for our support. We do, however, have an obligation to many citizens of Richmond who in one way or another have supported the University during these one hundred twenty-five years. We have always had a high percentage of students from the city. Many of them, like many of you here tonight, are our most loyal alumni. Unfortunately, however, there are many in Richmond who got their education here (many of them with scholarship aid) who seem to be ashamed of the school and apologize for the fact that they were not financially able to go elsewhere . To that type of Richmonder this institution has no obligation-past, present, or future!

OUR

ALUMNI

Our alumni constitute a constantly growing constituency. I do not have the figures, which no doubt could be supplied by our alumni secretaries, but I am increasingly conscious of the large number of students who are the sons and daughters of alumni. And that is as it should be! I must confess to an inability to understand how trustees, faculty, or alumni expect to "sell" ( and I hate that word) their school to others if they do not think it is good enough for their own children. This school, like the majority o.f our private colleges, was the result of the need of a religious denomination for a better educated ministry. Dr. Edward Baptist's school in Powhatan county, the Virginia Baptist Seminary in Richmond , and, in 1840, Richmond College, were the efforts of Virginia Baptists to meet that need. From the beginnings in 1830, to this good day the Baptists of Virginia have supported this institution. For the past fifteen years the University has received a percentage of the contributions of Virginia Baptists to their cooperative program which means that every Baptist in Vir ginia, affiliated with the General Association and contributing to the cooperative program , makes an annual contribution to the University. In addition the University has received many thousands of dollars from Vir ginia Baptists in scholarship funds and other designated gifts. We have not in the past been ashamed of our heritage nor ungrateful for the support it has brought us. Let us hope that we will never be apologetic about our Christian, denominational, connections. Virginia Baptists will always constitute a major element in our constituency. THE

VIRGINIA

BAPTISTS

I would remind you, however , that Virginia Baptists have not been selfish with their school. From the very beginning students of other sects have been welcomed and have always been an important element in the student body. One may safely prophesy that this practice will continue whatever may be the problems of student admission. These three groups, then, constitute our constituency, the people to whom we have special obligations. First consideration in admitting students should be given to these groups although it should be obvious that neither this university nor any other could admit all of its constituents who will apply. There must be selective admission but the selection should start with our constituency. A first criterion in selection will always be academic proficiency but it should never be the only test. I would have a very simple test to apply: I would admit students like you- people who after they graduate would come to an alumni dinner even when the committee makes a horrible mistake in the choice of a speaker ! We should take students who want to come here. Surely we have had enough experience to prove that we are not helped by the student who is dissatisfied with the institution

and it is highly doubtful that we do him any good. How

SELECTIVE

If we are going to be more selective- and we must be- how many students should we take? It has been suggested already that physical facilities make limitations. In addition to that however, I venture to suggest that we should be limited by the realization that we are a small, private, church-related institution. We have been priding ourselves on the fact that we have something to offer which is not to be found in the large institutions. If that argument has any validity then let us not destroy it by any false notion that "bigger" is a synonym for "better." My ideal for the University of Richmond has always been that it should be the relatively small, private institution of definitely limited enrollment constantly striving to improve the quality rather than the quantity of its students. We need, and should admit, only those who can and wish to profit by a college education; those who wish to pre pare for making a life as well as a living; those to whom the culture of the ages has a meaning in the solutions of the problems of the complex civilization in which we live; those who have, and will further develop, qualities of loyality, faith, undestanding, and leadership. I would not have you believe that I think such students are not found in large uni versities. I know that they are, but I am completely persuaded that the smaller school has a better opportunity to develop the ideal student, if, indeed, it does not have a greater obligation to do so. Nor do I profess to know at what enrollment figure a college ceases to be small and becomes large. The figure must be a fluctuating and relative one. For the University of Richmond , in its several colleges, it must be the enrollment to which we can render the best service with the resources at our command. THE

FACULTY

The third aspect of our problem of increasing enrollment is the faculty. It should be said that, at the moment, there is no dearth of potential college professors in many departments. Historians, I am sorry to say, are a dime a dozen. The supply is greater than the demand. In some fields of knowledge, however, it is quite difficult to find competent instructors because of the competition of business and industry and, sometimes, it must be said, of other colleges and universities that are able and willing to outbid us for an instructor's services. And there is every reason to believe that this situation will get worse before it gets better. I think this is a good place for me to testify to what I believe to be a fact, namely, that the trustees and administrative officers of your university have striven constantly to raise the salary scale for the faculty and staff. They have done the best they could but they have been unable to make bricks without straw, and there simply hasn 't been enough [ 33]

straw. For many years our salary scale kept pretty well in line with that of comparable institutions but in the years ahead we will probably find it increasingly difficult to keep in competition with schools of greater resources. That is a factor which must be taken into account as we seek to replace faculty members or to increase the number to take care of additional enrollment. There is no doubt that the economic factor is the greatest in this problem of the recruitment of teachers, from the primary grades through the university. But it is not solely a matter of dollars and cents. It goes deeper than that. It is the depreciation of the teacher. We are constantly being reminded of the old aphorism that "those who can, do; those who can't, teach." We and our students are told that a man who doesn't make twentyfive thousand dollars a year should consider himself a failure. Our best students graduate into jobs with starting salaries larger than those of many of the people who have taught them. Is there any wonder that more of our best graduates do not go into teaching? Is it surprising that the philosophy abroad in the land discourages young people from entering a profession in which they are stamped in the public eye as failures? Âˇ If you fathers and mothers are beginning to get disturbed about where the teachers of your children are going to come from I suggest that you try to correct the wide-spread tendency to depreciate the long suffering members of the profession. Let it be admitted that some of us could not make a living at anything else. Let it be admitted also that some of the so-called giants of industry have been taking money under false pretenses for many years. I contend that the average of competency of the teachers will compare favorably with that of the business man and with the members of the more appreciated professions. If our teachers are, as a whole, a sorry lot and that I deny, we are not going to improve the situation by continuing to pay them less per hour than a day laborer and . regarding their profession as the last refuge of a ne'er do well. On the contrary, if we are to serve the hordes of students already beginning to crowd our public schools and ultimately to knock at the doors of our colleges and universities we must be up and doing to see that more of our best young people are attracted to what is, in spite of everything, the most rewarding of the professions . Here at the University we are going to need more faculty if we take any more students. As we look for the additional ones and for the replacements that are needed we are going to find ourselves in a highly competitive market. It is going to be more and more difficult to get the best. To my thinking this will be as strong a limitation on a materially increased enrollment as the lack of physical facilities. How

BEST To

SERVE

I am sure that we are going to get those increased physical facilities, more endow-

ment, and more and more active alwnni support. My plea is two-fold: that we do not let enro llment grow faster than the means we have to serve the studen ts adequately; and that our philosophy should continue to be that of the small college where the student is a human being, moulded in the image of God and not that of the larg e school where sometimes the tend ency is to regard him as a statistic. In no way do I despair of the future. On the contrary I look to it with the highest hop e and pleasurable anticipation. We are coming into a wonderfu l day. Nev er in the history of higher education have the colleges and universities of the land had the opportunities that will be theirs within the next few years. Never before have they had such an opportunity to select their students . Never before has your university had such an opportunity to impl ement the ideals of its founders and the many men and women who have served it throu gh the years. We who may be permitted to live through these next few years, trustees, faculty, alumni, and friends will be the agents in the development of a truly greater Uni versity of Richmond, greater in dedication to the highest spirihrnl values, greater in a constant search for the truth, greater in service to God, to its students and to the world.

U of R's Expanding Music Department (Co ntinued from page 6)

repertory of classical and popular music and school songs. Mr. Troxell's University Band continued to attract praise during a busy season of football games and concerts, and looks forwa rd to donnin g new uniformsred blazers-in the fall. The lively Pep Band, an elite small group in striped blazers, has brightened up the happy basketball season. Dr. White, who supervises all this activity and directs the expanding program leading toward a larger stature for music in the University, arrive d in 1953 from Columbia University where he held an advanced research fellowship granted by the American Council of Learned Societies. He hold s a Ph. D. degree from Indian a Uni versity, and he is a pianist and musicologist, lecturing and performing frequent ly. Dur ing h is two years in Richmond he has played an increasingly important role in civic music. He is music critic and Sunday colwn nist for the Richmond Times-Dispatch, secretary of the Musicians Club , and member of the board of the Richmond Chamber Music Society. He spends his summers teaching musicology in the graduate department of Indiana University's School of Music. Hilton Rufty , associate professor of music, one of Virginia 's outstanding composers and a well-known carillonn eur, noted the performance during the past season of his "Suite in A" by the Mannes-Gimpel-Silva trio of New York. He has been commissioned a new choral work to be premiered by the University Chorus during 1955-56. Hannah Coker, assistant professor of mu-

sic, has recently accepted an appointment as Music Librarian, in charge of the growing collection of scores and recordings. Miss Coker, who completes her tenth year on the faculty, looks forward to developin g this vital center of the department's activities into the finest library of its size. She will also be custodian of the Harker Collection of scores and manuscripts, belonging to the late F. Flaxington Harker, organist and director of University music for many years. Two outstanding musicians will join the faculty in September and will greatly increase its strength in their special areas. Dr. Frederick Neumann, a brilliant violinist widely admired for his writings on the teaching of stringed instruments, will conduct a chamber orchestra , teach violin and conducting, and will be in charge of the program of music education studies. A native of Prague , Czechoslovakia, he is a graduate of the Prague Conservatory . He holds a Ph. D. degree in political science from the University of Berlin, and a Master of Arts and a Ph. D . in music education from Columbia Univer sity. Since his arrival in America in 1938, he has held several important teaching and performing posts, most recently with the New York City Center Opera during the past season. Dr. Roy Hart Jesson, pianist, will assume the rank of associate professor of music. A native of London, England , he is a graduate of the Royal College of Music, and holds three degrees from Oxford University . In addition he has earned an M.A . in composition and a Ph . D. degree in musicology from Indiana University. He has a number of published musical compositions to his credit, and his works have won prizes and performances both in this country and in Eng land . While principally a pianist and composer, be has had broad experience as an organist, conductor , and musicologist. He has been conductor of the Oxford Musical Union Orchestra and assistant organist and choirmaster of Christ Church Cathedral. In summing up the growth of music at the University, Dr. White said, "We take great pride in the appointment of these two outstanding musicians to our faculty. Quali tatively, we shall have one of the finest teaching staffs I know of, and our capacity for fine faculty concerts and broader teaching will be greatly enhanced. We are interested in seeing our work in music grow: not so much in size now, but in quality. Until we have a separat e large buildin g for the fine arts, we are natura lly limited by our physical resources. But we shall not be limited in the beautiful sounds we make nor in the dedication of our students to music as a serious art and a human necessity."
