The Wisdom of the Past

"NO MAN IS FREE WHO IS NOT MASTER OF HIMSELF." EPICTETUS

Too many of us-complaining of the erosion of individual liberties and the tightening controls of government- have overlooked or forgotten this simple philosophy. Yet it is as true today in 20th Century America as it was 2,000 years ago in ancient Greece. To remain free, we must be willing to face individual responsibility. To accept self discipline as the only true discipline. To defend-consciously and constantly-the liberties we cherish. This was the philosophy that guided our founding fathers. Men such as Washington and Jefferson dedicated their fives to creating a nation in which all men could be masters of themselves. Answerable above all to their own consciences. Served by their government-and not its servants. Their legacy to us was individual freedom. If today it seems in jeopardy, let us remember: No man is free who is not master of himself.

Mrs. Decker, in her tribute to Dean Keller (Page 2) turned to one of Miss Keller's favorite poets, Robert Browning, in characterizing this rare and wonderful woman: "One who never turned her back but marched breast forward." Mrs. Decker might also have recalled another line from Browning that would serve as a capsule description of the little dean: "I was ever a fighter .... " She had to fight for her college and for her girls in an age when many persons frankly felt that woman's place was in the home. They believed, yes, in education as a cultural background, the sort of thing that would fit a woman for a drawing room. But education for a career? Absurd! And so the little dean who had been the belle of the ball in her young womanhood in Baltimore, and as a graduate student in old Heidelberg, became somewhat stern in appearance as the years passed. Her chin became a bit more stubborn, the line of her mouth a bit thinner. In her battle for high standards she had the support of President Boatwright whose high standards for Richmond College she was encouraged to insist upon for Westhampton. The fight was not always easy and the little dean sometimes never bowed! emerged from a battle with head bloody-but to admiration, grudging-turned With the passing years, respect-sometimes and to love. As the seed she planted and nurtured grew into a college without a superior in all the Southland, it became abundantly clear that the little dean what she wanted was right. knew what she wanted for Westhampton-and She was privileged to live out her years on the campus of the college she loved, surrounded by friends and pleasant memories. With the battle won on the academic front she mellowed, gathering about her an increasing number of friends, but none more loyal, none more devoted, than those of the first years on the campus when she charted the course, set the sails, and braved the storms. Not only the building that bears her name but all Westhampton is a monument to this courageous woman. [ 1]

MAYLANSFIELD KELLER 1877-1964 A Tribute by Florence Boston Decker, ' 17*

One Who Never Turned (Her J Back but Marched Breast Forward, Never Doubted Clouds Would Break. It was nature 's compensation for a long and rugged life that May Lansfield Keller , dean emerita of Westhampton College of the University of Richmond , quietly died in her sleep on Sunday afternoon June 2$, 1964 on her own bed in the Deanery,

As one who wraps the draperies of his couch about him, An d lies down to pleasant dreams. For 32 of her 86 years she was Westhampton College. When she arrived from her home in Baltimore in the fall of 1914 to occupy the new Gothic buildings set in the sedge grass atop the pine covered *Mrs. Decker, a former president of the Westhampton Alumnae Association, was a member of the University of Richmond Board of Trustees for 28 years.

hills , she was well aware of the challenge before her . Her brown hair was piled high on her head, her blue eyes sparkled with good health, her back was straight. Diminutive in size, her dream was large for this college a-horning . A graduate of Goucher College (1894) and holder of a Ph.D . from Heidelberg, she knew exactly what type of college she intended to build. To be sure, Dr . Frederic W. Boatwright was president of the coordinate institutions of Richmond College and Westhampton College, but Westhampton was her responsibility and she was ever mindful of it. She was determined that Westhampton should be a liberal arts college in the true sense of the word . Its entrance requirements , its curriculum, its standards must be of the highest. All over the South were

scattered so-called woman 's colleges which were "finishing schools" and little more. To these Dean Keller gave hardly a passing nod; her college must stand as tall as the few great woman 's colleges of the East and North - colleges like Goucher where she had studied and later taught for eight years. Westhampton would be dedicated to the liberal arts; there would be no nonsense , no domestic science! Although Dr . Boatwright himself was dedicated to the liberal arts and sciences and had little use for educational frills , he was perhaps somewhat confounded by Dean Keller's demands for Westhampton and for her faculty. He may have wondered if Miss Keller , the first woman dean in Virginia , could hold her own in the world of male educators, administrators and faculty. His fears were soon disabused. Dean Keller let it be known to him and to his trustees that she knew the goals which must be attained for the accreditation of Westhampton College. High standards must be met by the students. The trustees, in spite of the increased expenses attached to moving Richmond College in 1914 from the city to the 300 acres west of Richmond , must be willing to pay the costs in faculty salaries, library facilities and other things necessary to obtain this accreditation . In repeated meetings with Dr. Boatwright and his committees, she refused to compromise. In 1923, nine years after Westhampton had come into existence, it was fully accredited by the American Association of University Women and the Southern Association of College Women. (Even before Westhampton's accreditation, Miss Keller had served four years as president of the Southern Association.) Dean Keller never lost sight of the needs of her student body and her faculty.

The Old Grads Return for

ALUMNI DAY, '64 The old grads came back in record numbers for an Alumni week end, May 8-9, which began with class reunions on Friday night and ended with the last note of the Glee Club and Band concert Saturday night. James B. (Jim) Robinson, '49, was chairman of the committee which arranged the varied program. A surprisingly large number of alumni were up bright and early to attend 8: 30 classes on the campus but the earliest of the early birds were the alumni of the School of Business Administration who met for breakfast at Nick's House of Steaks. There was varied entertainment for the morning hours. The pep band and a unit from the Glee Club made music in the registration area on the Student Center lawn. Many of the old grads wandered over to the Business School building to match wits with the new computer in a baseball game and other exhibitions of mechanical-mental dexterity, while some traveled across the lake to swim in Westhampton's new pool. In addition to the traditional induction of the seniors, the luncheon featured the presentation to the University of a portrait of Dr. Woodford B. Hackley, professor emeritus of Latin and secretary-treasurer of the Baptist Historical Society. The presentation remarks were made by a former student and long-time friend, Dr. R. Stuart Grizzard, '41, pastor of Montrose Baptist Church . ( See Page 21.) Dr. Ralph C. McDanel, '16, in the role of teller, reported the election of A . W.

Prior to the game a pencil portrait of Coach Pitt, the work of Alumni Day Chairman Robinson, was presented by Congressman J. Vaughan Gary, '12. Signatures of hundreds of alumni and other well-wishers, including Virginia's Governor Harrison, were on the border surrounding the picture. The traditional barbecue beneath the trees at the edge of Millhiser Field and the glee club-band concert ended the day's activities.

COMMENCEMENT '64 A crowd estimated at 3,600 persons who came to see the University of Richmond's largest graduating class receive degrees heard President Modlin spell out the institution's needs which he said will cost $ 13,000 ,000 over the next quarter-century. As so often has happened , the threat of showers forced the commencem ent indoors and it was just as well because the Greek Theater could not have accommodated the record crowd. Families and friends of the graduates filled to capacity the first two floors of the Mosque and there was a scattering of persons on the third floor. It was an historic occasion, marking the 50th anniversary of Westampton College, and Westhampton appropriately celebrated by graduatin g the largest class since its establishm ent in 1914- a class of 147 that was six more than the 141 Richmond College graduates. Record classes of 94 in the School of Business Administrati on, 59 in the Law School, and 45 in the Graduate School helped swell the University total to 493 graduates . University College , created to serve metropolitan Richmond , had seven winners of bachelor's degrees and also contributed 26 to the record number receiving graduate degrees. The total of 493 was 139 more than the previous high - 354 in 1961. President Modlin devoted most of his commencement address to recounting the accomplishments of Westhampton College just as in 1955 he told of the progress of the University of Richmond during the 125 years which had passed since its beginnin g on Dunlora plantation in Powhatan County , Va. After saluting Westhampton, the President devoted the closing minutes of his address to a summary of the University 's program , its needs and aspirations . He told the commencement audience that the University must have a minimum of $13 ,000,000 for endowment and buildings over the next 25 years. He proposed that the present endow-

ment of $10,000,000 be doubled to provide "income for higher faculty salaries and other pressing operating needs." Earlier in the day he had discussed at some length the timing and organization of a fund-raising campaign which will be conducted in the City of Richmond between November, 1964, and April , 1965. Although no specific goal has been announced, it is known that the University hopes to get sufficient funds to make possible the erection of a dormitory for men, a fine arts building, additional facilities for University College ,

and a buildin g for classrooms and facul ty offices at Richm ond College. Other pressin g needs, he said, are a University auditorium and an athletic field house . The 25 years th at have elapsed since 1939, referred to by President Modlin as the "expanding years," have been marked by rapid growth in enrollment and substantial enlargement of ph ysical facilities. The enroll ment rose from 1,873 in 1939 to 6,2 38 in 1964, the faculty from 88 to 248, and total assets from $6,000 ,000 to $20 ,000 ,000. In (Conti nued on page 37)

lif tie tit "It is not only the claims of the contem porary world that create problems for wom en, or the fact of domesticity, either. The education of women has been expanded with breathless speed in fifty years, and for the first time in history we have a vast population of women who will still, and still want to, and should want to, be wives and mothers and the keepers of the household ; but who are literate instead of illiterate, and so have values, wishes, talents, possibilities, curiosities, interests, that illiterate women do not know. In the first fifty years of this centt,ry, while the population of the country do11bled, the number of college-educated women increased twenty times . "It is not s11rprisingthat they need to find ways of using the talents and interests they have-not because they rebel against being women, or having husbands to care for or children to nourish, but quite positively because they have more capacities than a purely domestic life uses, and more vision of possibilities for lif e." The speaker was Dr. Esther Raushenbush, director of the Center for Continuing Education at Sarah Lawrence College. The occasion was a symposium in Cannon Chapel in connection with the celebration of West hampton College's fiftieth anniversary.

COMPARING NOTES. Mrs. Frances Anderson Stallard, '28 (right), president of the Westhampton Alumnae Association, and Mrs. Jean Neesmith Dickinson, '41, chairman of the Anniversary symposium, pause on the steps of Keller Hall.

The celebration made a historic occasion of the University 's 134th commencement. It was much more than a review of a half century of glorious achievement. It was an evaluation of woman's role in the community and world in which she lives, it was a challenging declaration of new goals to be achieved, new heights to be reached. And lest there be inclination to sit back with smug complacency, Dr. Althea K. Hottel, a past president of the American Association of University Women, warned that a dismaying amount of female talent is going to waste. Addressing the Saturday night banquet which brought the celebration to a close, she said that only one fourth of the women capable of profiting from higher education are in college. Further , she pointed out that the proportion of women who drop out of college before completing their degrees is much higher than for men . This, she suggested, is due not so much to lack of persistence as to the fact that "having attained one goal, a husband, their goals for personal development other than the biological no longer appear important. " Dr. Hottel , a former dean of women at the University of Pennsylvania , insisted that the educated woman can make a better wife, a better mother, and a better citizen of the world in which she lives. There was general agreement that the modern woman need not make a choice beTHE SPIRITOF WESTHAMPTON. Dr. May L. tween homemaking or a career.

pressed it: "Most of us ... agree with President Johnson " that 'a woman 's place is not only in the home, but in the House, the Senate, and throughout the Government service.' " Mrs. Evans was moderator for the panel which brought together Dr. Raushenbush, Dr. Nancy Roman of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration , and Miss Jean Wells of the Woman 's Bureau of the Department of Labor. Mrs . Evans, a member of the President's committee for consumer interests on the staff of the Special Assistant to the President for Consumer Affairs, further quoted Lyndon B. Johnson as saying : " ... In the past the capabilities of women have not always been recognized . I intend to see that there is an even greater expansion of opportunities for women in the days ahead." Mrs . Evans was one of three of Westhampton's daughters who received honorary degrees at commencement (page 5) and one of eleven distinguished graduates of the first decade who received alumnae citations (page 22). The celebration, which brought back to the campus hundreds of Westhampton alumnae, reflected the careful planning of Mrs. Beecher E. Stallard, '28, Alumnae Association president, the anniversary committee headed by Margaret Leake, '31, and the tireless and effective work of Mrs . Enders Dickinson III, '41, who presided over the symposium on "Changing Opportunitie s and Challenges for the College Woman." The caterer cooperated wholeheartedly with an excellent lunch and a superb buffet dinner and the weatherman who can be uncooperative in June served up the kind of weather Lowell raved about in paying his respects to the month.

Seated in the foreground of the grassy stage in the formal garden adjoining the building that bears her name was Dean May L. Keller, one of the two glorious names in the

formative years of Westhampton. It was this "dynamic, purposeful" woman, as Editor Virginius Dabney described her in a TimesD ispatch editorial, who teamed with the late President Frederic W. Boatwright in determining the purpose and in giving guidance to Westhampton. (During the night Dean Keller suffered a heart attack and was unable to attend Saturday 's luncheon at which past presidents were introduced and distinguished alumnae awards presented, or the formal dinner .) Dean Keller undoubtedly would have applauded the remarks of Dean Hottel : " ... The woman who is interested in developing the talents of her family ... has got to be interested in all the talents that her family has. If she is building these with children, she has to do it by the way she lives herself . One does not develop talents by just telling children to do their homework. It is done by the model who sets oneself to continuing education. 'The woman who plays a constructive role in American life today will not be the person all loaded to go off, but not knowing which way to shoot, nor the apathetic or the discontented . She will be the person who because of her education, her clarity of thinking, experience and judgment can raise the cultural sights of her family, contribute to their psychological and emotional development, bring a wider range of vision to her business or professional life, be politically literate and do something about it." Mrs. Hottel thus described the type of woman that Westhampton has been training over a half century since Dr. Boatwright and Dean Keller agreed that W esthampton would be no "finishing school" but [ 7

rather a liberal arts college for women with a curriculum in no way inferior to the educational program available in the best colleges for men. To them and to such dedicated members of the faculty as Maude Woodfin , Susan Lough, Fanny Crenshaw, Gertrude Beggs, Isabel Harris , Caroline Lutz and others of the same stamp Westhampton owes her preeminence . Such names, as Editor Dabney points out, "bring back memories to alumnae and friends of Westhampton and provide a cachet of excellence, as it were, for that institution. May it prosper even more greatly during its second half century! "

NewLakefor U of R By MAX AILOR

Beauty is more than superficial and to assure its continued charm the University of Richmond Lake- the focal point of landscaping for the campus- will have its very foundations renovated at a cost of approximately $ 100,000 during the summer. The lake, heavily silted beyond its functional use as a flood control agent , was drained on June 8. Work was started immediately on the project which will include enlargement of the spillway at the lower end of the dam and the straightening of the channel below the dam. Work on the spillway and dam will be rushed that a new bridge connecting Richmond College and Westhampton College will be completed before the start of the September term . What to do about the lake has been a perplexing problem ever since the develop-

ment of the land above the lake lessened the effectiveness of the watershed. Floods in the summers of 19S9 and 1960 did damage totaling $30,000. The floods carried tons of coal from the area adjacent to the powerhouse. The powerhouse stands upon the banks of the meandering creek which serves as an overflow channel from the lake to the James River. To guard against repeated losses by floods, the level of the lake had to be lowered. This caused some areas of the upper reaches of the lake including the island , to rise from the water as an eyesore to the campus. The new spillway will permit a flow of 3,850 cubic feet of water per second as compared to the 780 cubic feet per second capacity of the old spillway. The flow of traffic across the lake will be accelerated with the construction of a two-lane bridge to replace the one-lane

bridge in use since 1914 . The draining of the lake opened the floodgates of campus interest. There developed many facets which were not previously considered as by-products of the program. Members of the University's science department found it a source of continuing research. Dredges are busy lifting silt collected on the lake's bottom. At least 20,000 cubic yards of mud and sand will be moved from the 20-acre lake to provide fill for an area adjoining Robins Athletic Field. Dr. William S. Woolcott, Jr., associate professor of biology, and two of his students jumped into hip-deep mud and silt to collect fish as specimens of biological study. Dr. Wilton R. Tenney, also associate professor of biology, stood by with a camera to photograph the work and catalogue fish. Thousands of small, stunted fish-catfish, bream, crappie (silver perch), carp and even goldfish-were permitted to work their way through the small creek to the James River. A few were collected to transfer to a holding pond so they may be used for restocking of the renovated lake next fall . Dr. Woolcott's groups collected fish to

The Alumni Society's Newest Representative on the Board of Trustees REFLECTIONSON THE LAKE "In its suburban situation, almost rustic in its seclusion, the summer school would appear more a summer resort than an educational institution .... The beautiful lake, offers unusual facilities for boating and swimming . . . . There is the lure of the wilds .... " So runs the account in the 1922 Summer Session Bulletin. Of course, the romantic possibilities of the lake had been known long before this . Many of the dates deep-carved with initials in the bark of the old tree by the bridge go back to the days when students from the old campus would go for long, but not solitary afternoon walks around the lake "out where the new college is going to be." The best way, at that time to describe what this new system of coordinated colleges would be was to say, "You see, the two colleges will be separated by a lake, but there is to be a bridge across this lake and a gate on the bridge." The gate was there, too, with a sign which announced that it would be closed every night at midnight. Eventually vines covered both gate and sign . No one noticed when they disappeared, although there was still considerable talk about "the invisible line in the middle of the lake" which marked the boundaries beyond which the swimmers of neither college were supposed to venture . (The accent is on "supposed.") There was a boathouse on the Richmond College side of the lake and a bandstand on Westhampton's, relics of the days when the campus had been a pleasure park. Several fraternities kept canoes and even staid members of the faculty might be seen paddling across the lake's surface. Walks around the lake were popular, too. Ducks hadn't appeared then to despoil the waters of their biological specimens . Terrapins sunned themselves on drifting logs. An occasional stray heron stood puzzled as to where he had landed. It was during the summer sessions of the 20 's, though, that the lake became the center of activities. Lake permits were issued from the treasurer's office to students, alumni and friends, who gathered by the scores every afternoon. A life guard was on duty from four to six. There were springs beneath the lake-or so one was toldwhose streams, refusing to mingle with that from the brook, gave the water a layered effect like a chocolate cake. You could stand in a warm stratum and hold out your arm into one that was icy cold. Near the head of the lake was an island, completely inaccessible-in the daytime. More than one alumnus-a, however, can tell of midnight picnics there, when the dorms were dark and chaperones asleep . Past the clump of silvery birches, past the point where the persimmon tree grew, softly splashing along the moonbeam path-ah, those were the days! -HELEN A . MONSELL , '16

L. DUDLEYGEORGE Who is technically number one on the University of Richmond degree parade? He is L. (for Lewis) Dudley George of the class of 1923, who has just begun an eightyear term on the University's board of trustees as a representative of the Alumni Society. The University was incorporated in 1920, the year that young George, then only 15 years old, enrolled in Richmond College. But George, as always, was in a hurry and completed his degree requirements in three calendar years. Hence, he became the first student to win a University of Richmond diploma with academic credits earned exclusively during the period following the University's incorporation . Dudley George's accomplishments in business, in the life of his community, and his loyalty over the years to the University, have proved that the first was indeed one of the best of the University's sons. Mr. Astrop was his favorite professor, and Davis Ratcliffe, '24, George Freedley , '25 , with whom he went to grammar school, and Roger Mann, '24, his closest on-campus friends. Besides his B.S. from Alma Mater, Dudley George won a civil engineering degree from Cornell in 1926. "Attending the University of Richmond was very much of a family tradition with us," he recalled, "because my father was in the class of '79 and my two brothers were in the classes of '08 and '10.

was killed in a hunting accident while still an undergraduate. "I am a great admirer of Dr. Modlin as well as of Dr . Boatwright , and I feel that we are mighty fortunate to have them as presidents. It was a wonderful thing to me the way Dr . Boatwright got the money to begin the building of the present campus ." L. Dudley George was born on February 15, 1905 in Richmond and lived at 807 East Clay Street. His parents, Henry H. and Lillian Wright George, sent him to the old Richmond Academy, whose principal was the late William Prince . He finished at John Marshall High School. In 1935 two great events occurred in his life. On June first he married Sally Barret, Hollins College , '29, of Richmond as Dr. Solon B. Cousins performed the ceremony at the Second Baptist Church on "the hottest night that ever happened ." The Georges met while on a city-wide treasure hunt. That same year he joined the Richmond Guano Company, which sells its products in Virginia and North Carolina. All of his work has been administrative and requires him to read an abundance of trade journals , cutting down on the detective stories and biographies , which he likes. At Richmond Guano Company he has served successively as secretary, secretarytreasurer, vice president and, since 1961 , president. He has been a member of the company 's board since 1940. Mr. George has served as president of the Plant Food Institute of North Carolina and Virginia and has been chairman of the (Co ntinued on page 21)

FOOTBALL By WALT Coach Ed Merrick believes his Spiders will be better this fall than the 1963 eleven which posted a 3-6-1 record against the strongest opposition in the school's history. Although the schedule is a representative one, schools such as Tennessee, Florida and Syracuse are missing this season. West Virginia opens the Spider slate at qty Stadium on the night of September 19 and V.M.I. comes to town the following Saturday night, September 26. The Spiders hit the road for six straight games (Southern Mississippi, The Citadel, Davidson, East Carolina, Holy Cross and Buffalo) after that before returning for the Homecoming contest with Furman on November 14 and the annual Thanksgiving Festival clash with William and Mary on November 26. Merrick expects 16 lettermen to return but loses a like number. There's not a letterman among the guards or centers and the Spiders lost their starting tackles. However, the backfield will be faster and deeper and there 's a fine crop of ends . Ronnie Smith, the 6-4, 225-pound quarter back who threw eight touchdown passes last season, should have a fine year hitting such targets as All-Southern End Pete Emelianchik ; John Hilton , 6-5 flankman returning after a year's absence; All-Southern Halfback Kenny Stoudt, Norris Aldridge, Kirk Kressler and Sophomore Bruce Soderstrom.

DREWRY Stoudt, who averaged 5.7 yards a try last season and was a standout on defense, heads a group of experienced backs which include Halfbacks Pete Britton, Warren Hayes and Aldridge and Fullbacks Ron Gordon and Roger Moore. Stoudt is co-captain this season with Joe Stromick, who will see a lot of service as a defensive back. Don Matthews, a breakaway runner from Chowan Junior College, and Sophomores Ronnie Grubbs and Larry Zunich provide offensive depth at the halfback posts. Letterman Mike Smelser and newcomers Bob Crute, a speedster who may see some offensive service, Larry Shotwell and Rick Payne turned in good deepback performances in Spring drills. Soph Doug Davis showed up well as a linebacker and probably will see some offensive duty at fullback . Sophomore Jan Linn, Letterman Bill Silvi and Bob Makowsky back up Smith at quarterback. With Hilton, the Southern Conference 's top pass receiver in '61 and '62, Emelainchik, Kressler and Soderstrom available plus Ed Kullaf, Bob Ring, Soph Don Carfagna and Bob Prince, all fine defensive flankmen, the Spiders may have the best group of ends in the area. Prince, another Chowan graduate , can double as an offensive tackle. John Deeter and Dick Hodsdon, the only lettermen tackles, move up a notch to re-

place last year's starters, Larry Duty and Al Mitchell. Having lost four such guards as Joe Kessel, Dick Foutz, Fred Mancuso and Gerald Lofstead, Merrick will have to call on Bob Andrews, promising sophomore, and Bernie Ortwein, for offensive duty at guard. Soph Sam Anderson has the big job of replacing Jim Helvin at center. John Gillen and Mike Robochik, a couple of big fellows, are slated for defensive tackle posts. Soph Larry Pew, Ray Tate and junior college transfers Bob Solomon (Gordon Military) and Bill Ballowe (Chowan) should help the guard situation. Terry Smith, ,mother transfer student from Gordon Military, is a fine defensive center. Defensively Merrick believes the Spiders will be strong. His chief concern is offensive line depth.

SPIDERSNOSED OUT FOR BASEBALLTITLE For the first time in 10 years the University of Richmond baseball team experienced a losing season, Coach Mac Pitt's 30th Spider nine finishing with a record of eight victories and 11 defeats. The Red and Blue posted a 5-7 Southern Conference mark for a fifth place finish. However, it took a 7-5 Virginia Tech triumph at Blacksburg on the final day of the season to prevent the Spiders from capturing the State Big Five title. The Spiders, as the result of ace Righthander Bob Philyaw's brilliant three-hitter, had blanked V.M.I., 4-0, the previous day at Lexington to throw the Big Five battle into a two-way tie. Going into the scrap ,tt Blacksburg, both Richmond and V.M.I. had 4-2 loop marks and Tech a 3-2 mark. The Spiders led, 5-1, after four innings but the Gobblers staged a five-run rally in the fifth that turned the tide and beat Lefty John Snyder. Thus, the Keydets and Gobblers tied for the crown with a 4-2 marks with Richmond third with a 4-3 loop record. Philyaw, a junior from Alexandria, accounted for five of the eight Spider victories, his lone loss being a 3-0 setback at the hands of West Virginia. Bob defeated George Washington, 9-1, on five hits, The Citadel, 3-2, on five hits, William and Mary, 1-0, on two hits in a 14-inning affair, Virginia Tech, 7-1, on an eight-hitter, in addition to his shut out of V.M.I. Richie Sharif, sophomore second baseman, topped the Spiders at the bat with a .343 average followed by Catcher Don Douglas with .338. Douglas was named to the AllSouthern Conference team and Philyaw and Sharff to the second team. Coach Fred Hardy's track team captured two of five meets this season. The Spiders defeated Frederick College, 81-63, and East Carolina, 92-53. Richmond lost to Davidson, William and Mary and V.M .I. Captain Sam McCormick, high point man for the Spiders all season, set a State meet record of 21.5 seconds in the 220 and also won the 100-yard dash.

Ad Astra Per Asf1era

WOODFORD B. HACKLEY* The contributions of the one whom we delight to honor today lie in several realms. He is a historian: Everything else about him, professionally and personally, springs from this. His mastery of classical languages of Greek and Latin have come about because he wanted to know first-hand what these writers had to say. Also, he early realized that langua~e unlocks the secrets of the past. Many historians and would-be historians never acknowledge this, and, therefore, never qual ify. Dr. Hackley knows that history is an oft told tale; that it repeats itself. But a man must be alert to interpret apparently isolated incidents to see the pattern. He knows that the historian is also an interpreter. H e is a classical scholar: This means that he studies thought, language, and event, but that does not make him an antiquarian. The classical scholar is a humanist; not in religion , but in the humanities . He is after the order of Erasmas and Aristotle. The true classical scholar in every generation is the only real contemporary man , for he knows the past; therefore, understands the present and is not too fearful for the future. Sciences, philosophies and theologies come and go, but the classical scholar abideth forever. H e is a teacher: Someone said that his idea of a real university was a student on one end of a log ,:, Remarks by R. Stuart Grizzard, '41, in presenting Dr . Hackley 's portrait to the University.

and Mark Hopkins on the other. This extreme statement has some truth in it, if Dr. Hackley were on the teaching end of that log. Three things make a great teacher: ( 1) Knowledge and love for the subject, (2) Ability to communicate and inspire those who learn, ( 3) The ability to relate the subject to the whole field of knowledge. In all of these respects Dr. Hackley measures up with plenty and plus. He knows that education is not only for usefulness, but for enjoyment and enrichment. He has never been hoisted on the petard of pragmatism . He knows that the storehouses of the past contain not only events, but literature, the knowledge of which can give pleasures of the mind forevermore, and reassurance too. He knows the difference between history and myth. He knows that both contain truth. He has the patience to do research for the one and the sense to accept the contribution of the other. His ability to ferret out a detail of date or place that completed research is unmatched in my observation. H e is ,i Christian gen tl eman: No evaluation of him would be correct that fails to note his genuine, deep, and unobtrusive Christian faith. To him Jesus Christ is the continuing culmination of history. ·•The one supreme event toward which the whole creation moves." H e is a warm and wonderf11l friend: Even as a teacher he found a way to es-

tablish personal relations with those who were congenial without any compromise of dignity or authority. And so today, not as valedictory, but as a salutatory we gladly present this portrait of one who served our beloved school as ranking member of the faculty in point of service when he retired, as the efficient secretary of the faculty, who found a way to make Catullus, Horace , Ovid , Sappho, and Virgil important ; and Livey, Xenophon, Scipio, Hannibal , Xerxes, Julius Caesar, and the Little Fork Rangers startling contemporary. May God give him many years to enri ch our lives. Thank you for teaching us "rid a.rlra per c1spera."

Twentytwo members renewed long standing friendships and doffed cares and years as a round of festivities unfolded. Audrey Colonna Twyford from West Virginia and I were the first arrivals on Thursday . We were joined on Friday by others who were soon feeling comfortable in familiar dormitory room s with roommates of college years. For the programs and fun, Janet Wyatt Fountain came from Mississippi, and Hester Tichenor Warfield and her husband from Nashville, Tenn . first reunion since graduation. In -Hester's addition to the regular alumnae activities, the members of the class of 1919 had three very special occasions: supper with Frances Shipman Sutton at West Point on Friday evening, breakfast on Saturday with Juliette Brown Carpenter in the home of her cousin, Mrs . W. G. Neal in Richmond, and Sunday breakfast with Elizabeth Tompkins. Luscious food, good conversation, and genuine friendly interest were reasons for the comment: " It was the best reunion of all." The busy days reported by all, the eager talk and spontaneous laughter, the thorough enjoyment and appreciation of all, gave eloquent testimony that " 1919" did not look or act like celebrants of "45 years after." To the absentees thi s reporter extends a cordial invitation t~ make the attendance 100% in 1964. To those who were mindful of every detail in making our stay pleasant and especially to Frances, Juliette, and Elizabeth, we say, "Thank you!" Following is a list of those present for one or more functions of the celebration: Juliette Brown Carpenter, Virginia Bundick Mayes, Audrey Tolonna Twyford, Anna Decker, Elizabeth Gaines, Virginia Gay, Helen Hancock Hundley, Margaret Hutchison Rennie, Virginia J ones Snead, Virginia Karnes Wright, Margaret Laws Decker, Mildred Lewis McDanfl, Elvira Miller Abernathy, Lillian Rob ertson Carter, Esther Sanford Jett, Frances Shipman Sutton, Margaret Semmes McKillop, Elizabeth Sydnor, Hester Tichenor Warfield, Elizabeth Tompkins, Janet Wyatt Fountain, and Virginia Truitt Swann. It was a pleasure to have Miss Crenshaw and other friends join us in some of our "part ies." Thanks to each of you who came and helped make this such a happy occasion for us all. 1922 Secretary CHARLES H. WEST, JR .

BEALE (Hild a Booth) 8513 Hanford Drive Ri chmond , Va. 23229 Our deepest sympathy goes co the family and friends of Cordelia Crowder Melt on, who died very suddenly last December. I am sorry not co have informed you sooner , but learned of her passing quite recently. Our sincere sympathy also is extended to Norma Coleman Broaddus , who lost her sister in May. Fortunately, despite death and sadness, life and happiness survive. Both of the latter were evident at our reunion dinner on Friday evening, June 5. Eighteen of us "g irls" attended many to list . Inez Hite and the dinner-too Charlotte Francis Sloan were in town, but another engagement prevented their joining us for dinner. We met at 6:30 in the Hermitage Country Club, where Margaret Carlton had arranged for our celebration. Margaret, Inez and I enjoyed planning our get -together, and felt fully repaid that so man y came and had a good time. The highlight of the evening was the presence of Miss Paris (Mrs. Emil Cederborg), our freshman sponsor, whom all of you remember with affection. So many happy little anecdotes of our freshman year were related. She is our same "Miss Paris, " with the added attraction of a charmi ng husband. Interesting family snapshots were passed around amid much gay chatter, which had to cease as time ran out coo soon. We had to have a short business session. The Alumnae Association previously decided that each class should elect a permanent president, a secretary and a fund chairman. The group nominated and elected the following: Margaret Fugate Carlton-President Elizabeth Cosby Carver-Secretary Chairman Hilda Booth Beale-Fund The three officers are expected to work together on all phases of class work. I am sure Elizabeth Carver will want news from you for the next issue of the Bulletin, so here is her address: Mrs. Stewart F. Carver, R.F.D . 3, Lawrenceville, Georgia. Please make her term pleasant by sending her your news items . So many who couldn't be with us wrote letters bringing us up to date on their activities.

Katherine Kirk Bain had a really busy June week, with one son graduating from high school , one son from college in Kansas, a third being ordained a priest in North Carolina, and a fourth son returning from Southern Rhodesia with his wife and six of Katherine 's thirteen grandchildren . No wonder she couldn't make it to reunion! Elizabeth Lake Patterson also wrote interesting news of her family of one son, three daughters and eleven grandchildren. Her son is in Korea and one daughter in London . Her younger brother is a candidate for Governor of North Carolina . An exciting life, isn't it? A nice note from Estelle Billups Pettit arrived with reunion greetings to '24, as did a note from Eva Sanders in Nigeria. Eva had been laid up but was managing to teach from a wheel chair. The many postcards that were returned with a line or two of greeting from those forced to miss our reunion helped make the event a completely happy one. At the alumnae luncheon Saturday, a number of certificates of merit for outstanding service were presented to graduates of the first decade of Westhampton . We were so proud and happ y that Eva Sanders was one of tho se to be so hon ored for her outstanding service to humanity . Some of you probably don 't know that several years ago the Queen of England made Eva an honorary citizen of the British Empire. ~ur senior class president, Mary Peple, received one of the beautiful, engraved bowl s presented to each of the past Alumnae Association presidents. We missed having Mary sit at our table for lunch , but all basked in her reflected glory, nevertheless. Our 40th milestone was successfully passed

Kate's daughter, Lynn, will enter Wheaton in the Fall, after a trip co Europe this Summer. Kate says we should all come up to the World's Fair and please call. They live in Huntington, Long Island.

They have three children, two sons, ages 13 and 7, and a daughter 12. I will have two sons at Randolph-Macon College, Ken III, 21, and Bill, 18, and one son, Frank, 18, at Davidson College.

Those who replied have an average of three children. Three of us have earned a Master's Degree, and one an M.D. Many of us have attended college classes since graduation. We have had many positions, including those as secretary, counselors, librarians, church workers, social service, with teaching the most popular. We have lived in 22 states and 7 foreign countries.

(Emma Lou Parsons) 6406 Monument Ave. Richmond, Va. 23226 As with our last issue of the Bulletin, we start this time with a wedding. Our congratulations go to Tommy Holloway, son of Herbert and Connie Attkisson Holloway, who was married in April to Miss Kathy Rueger. The young couple will make their home in Richmond while Tommy attends the Richmond Professional Institute. Margaret Ligon Bernhart came to see me on Mother's Day week end while she was in town visiting her mother. Margaret is normally husy as the mother of four. We had a fine time marvelling over the ways of teen-agers, and reminiscing about high school and college days. Our congratulations go to two high school graduates. Betsy, daughter of Billy and Janet Gresham Manson, and Mabs, daughter of Tony and Dell Williams Smith, graduated from Collegiate School in Richmond. In April, Janet traveled to Chicago for a convention. She enjoyed the week away from routine with husband Bill. Harry and Saddye Sykes Williams are planning their annual summer trip to Nags Head, N. C. where they loaf whole-heartedly. Sounds lovely!

Roberta Winfrey Cannon's family is planning to attend the Unitarian Church Conference near Asheville, N. C. in July. Her daughter, Henrietta, after studying at Pan-American Business College, is working for two lawyers in Richmond. Son, Arthur, who, according to Mom, is an excellent driver, plans to enter a teen Road-eo this summer. Jane Davenport Reid's family is making prepartions to attend the Episcopal Conference at Shrine Mont, Orkney Springs, Va. Virginia Vaughan Noe has joined the ranks of the gainfully employed.

DAVID R. TALBOTT (Barbara Lewis) 224 Westwood Road Annapolis, Maryland 21401 Here is that bad penny again. My vague promise to help was suddenly taken up by Joni Johnston Black. So write, you all, WRITE! Anne Byrd Tucker Moore completed her Ph.D. in November! The Moores' new home is almost finished. Son Billy is a freshman at U. of N. C. and Linda, a ninth grader at St. Catherine's ... Does '43 have any other Ph.D's? Harriett Lewis Goodman is the new president of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Richmond Academy of Medicine. Her Winnie, 17, is Virginia v.p. of MAFTY (Mid-Atlantic Federation of Temple Youths). Bob, 14, and Mike, 9, are busy with scouts, music, and a new Basset puppy. Recently Rose Koltukian Wallace and family returned from a two-weeks vacation in Sarasota, Florida, with Jim's parents. With both boys in school this year, she has filled up her time. Dolly Dorsey Garwood's Dave is now Squadron Commander in the Air Force and she has been substitute teaching in Newburgh, N. Y. She also is a citizenship merit badge counsellor for Boy Scouts and teaches a Sunday school class where all seniors are college-bound and two are going to the Air Force Academy. She is proud of them. Louise Wiley Willis is busy getting all her children ready for different camps. After touring Europe for six weeks this summer, June Hargrove Cornwall will be head of St. Catherine's Upper School! Her duties will be administrative mainly and will include teaching one class. Carolyn Babb Heflin's daughter Carolyn has been accepted by Westhampton for next year. Marguerite Shell Ritchie and George are MRS.

It's particularly rewarding to hear from someone who hasn't been included in our news recently. "Bitsy" Epes Hardy writes, 'Tm having an unusually interesting two-year term of office as President of the Women of the Church in our local Blackstone Presbyterian Church. At Massanetta last summer and at various meetings, it has been fun to see Westhampton girls-not all were Baptists! 'Tm still working as a secretary here in our Transport office. In recent years I've taken some art lessons so that painting is my newest, most fascinating hobby." Virginia Lee Ball Glover wrote me, "There is an active AAUW group here (Charlotte) and I've been a member since moving-and have enjoyed it so much. But our energies are aimed at moving and we must build or find a house soon." She spoke of seeing Dot Roberts, who "was mulling over 'tramp-steamering' to some place--maybe even a trip to Rome during the summer-how divine! Ho hum-at least my dreams are technicolor !" Dotty Hewes McGlincy now has a part-time paid job as Secretary of their Township Republican Party in addition to being a Girl Scout Leader; she is also about to take on some church duties. Helen Avis Grimm Pence teaches in Robert Fulton Elementary School and so is associated with some of the same people with whom I come in contact in our section of town. She looked fine when I saw her in May-in glowing, happy health. The two neophyte psychology majors in our home keep us in constant analysis. If you say, "Good morning!" the reply is, "What are you trying to tell me?" Patricia has been seeing Jean Neasmith Dickinson, who has

GLADSTONE

HILL

(Dorothy Monroe) 124 Duke Drive Portsmouth, Va. Our 20th reunion was the best yet! They came from all direstions by all manner of travel. Butsey flew from N. Y., Lois Kirkwood North came by train from Illinois, and Jinx Thompson Paarfus piloted her own plane from Stuart. Also present on either one or both days were: Mary Alderson Graham, Ann Burcher Stansbury, Deedee Kirk, Helen Curtis Patrick, Billy Jane Baker, Ann Thurston Filer, Millie Cox Goode, Louise Walters Hill, Betsy Rice and Mary Bowden Felger from Richmond, Dot Ihnken and Natalie Lum from Petersburg, Ruth Cotton and Norma Sanders Granley from Arlington and Alexandria, Doris Hedgepeth Neal from Roanoke Rapids, N. C., Mimi Hill Boynton from Roanoke, Lois Hester Blackburn from Waynesboro, and Gloria, Gene and myself from Portsmouth . In all, if my count is correct, 55 children were represented by those of us present. Who said Westhampton graduates have .7 of a child! We were disappointed to miss many of the old faithfuls. Rita Copley and Ann Green Sheaffer had conflicts with high school graduations, Evermond with a dance recital.. Ann McElroy MacKenzie and Mary L. Smith Chapin were preparing to move, Ellen Mercer readying a trip abroad. The scrapbooks were constantly in demand. We poured through them diligently reading and reminiscing about each one. We had a lovely bouquet of Anthurium sent from Fran and Kay in Hawaii. And, of course, we were all keenly aware of the absence of Miss Harris, our class sponsor. Friday night we had a delicious buffet at Mary Graham's. Everyone looked so good.

The gray hairs and plump faces seemed to soften the haggard look of the "tired thirties." I came away feeling life really did begin at forty! Sat. night we had an informal party at B. J. and Ballard Baker's. Husbands were included and it wasn't long before they were comparing banking, business and baloney. Of course, no one knew when to go home! But it was such fun; and I hope B. J. will forgive us for staying so late. This fall more of our youngsters head for college. Courtney Goode graduated with high honors at Collegiate and is bound for Hollins. Al Copley will come south to U. of N. C., Kathy Cotton will go north to U. of Conn., Garland Sheaffer will come east to RandolphMacon. I am looking forward to Fleet's getting to know her. Ann Stansbury reports Barbie is very happy at W&M. We were fascinated with Bursey Goldsmith's participation with the theatrical group in Chappaqua, N. Y., and with Jinx Paarfus' tales of her activities which include teaching a S. S. class, PT A, Bloodmobile, heading TWO Girl Scout Troops, and giving flying lessons! I just can't begin to tell you about all. We are so indebted to the Richmond girls for all the planning and preparation for such a wonderful week end. The correspondance, scrapbook, flowers, food and hospitality didn't just happen without a lot of hard work, and we thank you all! Please let me hear from you so I'll have some class news to write about. And don't forget the Alumnae Fund. Incidentally the swimming pool is BEAUTIFUL! We should _b_e very proud of the small part we were pnv1ledged to have in making that dream come true. 1945 Secretary HOWARD B. CONE (Elizabeth Parker) 606 Chandler Circle Richmond, Virginia There was so little time between the mailing of the last Bulletin and the writing of this letter that you all just didn't have the opportunity to send me the latest news about yourselves. I have hardly begun this job and now find that I have to pass it on to someone else beMRS.

cause we will be moving to Wilson, N. C. around July 1. Howard is going to be the new president of R. P. Watson Tobacco Co. We have loved these three years in Richmond and hate to leave our many friends here but also look forward to life in Eastern North Carolina. I do not know who your next class secretary will be, but please write to her often so I can keep posted on what you folks are doing. Jane Wray McDorman is finishing out a teaching term in one of the high schools here for a girl who had to resign. She says she is thoroughly enjoying her work. If any of you get to Wilson, please come to see us. 1946 Secretary MRS.

EDWARD

SCHMIDT,

JR .

(Elizabeth Thompson) 4545 Stratford Rd. Richmond, Va. My plea for news last issue brought a letter all the way from California: Elaine Weil Weinberg (Mrs. Lawrrnce Weinberg) wrote that "we are now transplanted to California soil and we love it-though it was quite a wrench for us at the beginning. We are settled in Palo Alto, about 40 miles from San Francisco and this is an exciting and stimulating area. Larry is working with United Technology Corporation and I keep more than busy with my "ladies organizations" and the children's activities. Amy goes into Junior High next year and has the usual sub-teen passion for horses, swimming and music. Our eight-year-old Julie spends most of her spare time climbing trees, but she does come down occasionally to go to ballet or Brownies. The real ruler of the household is Jonathan whose great adventure at the moment is preparing for kindergarten. We are at home at 3927 Grove Avenue and would be pleased to see any traveling Westhamptonites." Nancy Todd Lewis wrote a newsy note mailed in a previously addressed envelope Joyce Eubank Todd had mailed her for this purpose. Maybe we could get a bit about everybody if all of our group leaders would try this! Of course, Nancy was bubbling about her son whom I told you about in my last letter, but I must quote Nancy: "Had three girls and now (in old age) find a son." She added that she and her husband (Ashton) had just returned from the World's Fair and found it fabulous. It was a surprise trip for her, which was wonderful, but after three days in New York it was nice to get back to Gatesville, N. C. with its three hundred population. 1947 Secretary MRS.

HORIGAN

(Mildred Daffron) 4636 Stuart Ave. Richmond, Va. Not much news this time but by now you should be in the midst of vacationing. Please send your group leader a card and let us know what you did for excitement this summer. Margaret Goode Vicars and Joe welcomed Sarah Woodson on Feb. 25th. She weighed in at 7½ lbs. and has her mother's dark hair. Higgie wrote that she and Dan enjoyed a night of dining and dancing in the early spring with Martha Edwards Allen and Bobby. Also she and Ann Wiley Kelly attended the Alumnae Luncheon in the Tidewater area. Pat Guild Robertson writes that she and Lois Johnson Willis see quite a bit of each other having young sons in Little League baseball. They did quite well too-coming in second in their league. Elsie Minter is teaching nine hours of Advanced French this year and planning to take a group to Europe in the Spring. By now they

must be enjoying their Junior Year Abroad. Verda Sletten Hobbs wrote that her Debbie is in Kindergarden now but she is still kept pretty busy by the 2½ year old twins at home. Her husband, Milton, is teaching and doing some writing this year. That's all for now . Hope your summer is happy and lazy. 1948 Secretary

MRS. JARVISENNIS (Doris Moore) 1772 Old Buckroe Road Hampton, Virginia The Richmond girls have made several attempts to get together recently. March the 6th they gathered at Jean Biscoe's to write the Alumnae Fund appeals to each of us. A card party was planned during April, but it turned into a gab fest and house tour at Joan Johnson Sandidge's. She has quite a collection of antiques which she has used skillfully in decorating her home . We all extend our concern to Sally Taylor DuBose whose father passed away April 19th. Also I received the news that Lois McClanahan Garrett's husband was in a serious auto accident in late March which hospitalized him for some time. Several of the girls will be on the move. Ginna Herndon Pugh and Alger are moving to Danville in June . Alger has been appointed head coach at George Washington High School. He has had excellent seasons in Staunton, but he is glad to get into group I-A competition.

Margaret Sabine Brizendine will move to 4008 Stuart Avenue, Richmond in August. That is if she gets over her trip with a troop of twenty Girl Scouts. They are going to camp and Margaret is the leader . Betty Hickerson Butterworth will be moving into a larger home behind the college in June. I have not received the address, but Harriet Smith saw Betty and Butter at Nag's Head at a convention. Betty told her about the move and some of the problems they had encountered getting the moving dates and the selling dates straight. Frances Stuart Bailey had a very unusual move. They put her house on wheels and rolled down the road to a residential development. Her husband is still pastor of the Cave Spring Baptist Church. Her address is 4626 Rosecrest Road S. W ., Roanoke . Beth Chambliss Holcomb 's son, Paul, is in the same fourth grade with Patty, Frances' daughter. Some have made their summer plans. Betty Hardin Elmore will vacation at Myrtle Beach camping. She said they had experienced a busy winter with their family of twelve boys . Both her mother and her father have had health problems this year. Betty has been home twice on emergency trips to help out. Now they are back on their feet. Jim, her second grader, is a real help with little Elizabeth who was born shortly after our reunion. Margaret Elliott Ownby plans to visit Ralph's kin in Oklahoma in June. In August they will journey to Maine for Ralph to attend a seminar. Millicent Hutcherson Taylor and family have been to see us several times this spring. We enjoyed Easter and Mother's Day together. This summer we plan to attend the World 's Fair together . Also we will go to Nag's Head for some sun and surf. Peggy Stone Cunningham has put in her order for a long, hot summer . She and Jerry hope business will good at their Overhill Lake. Peg is busy golfing and keeping her two boys on time to Little League Baseball games . When Thomas Jefferson High School had its 20th reunion Jean Biscoe saw Jackie Jeter Shock. Jackie is still very busy in her job, secretary to the governor of West Virginia .

If you travel west this summer, don 't neglect to let Ann Clark Little know when you pass through Chicago. When I received the cards with addresses of our class, I was amazed to realize that Ann was living in the town with my sister-in-law. We had visited there without knowing that Ann was any place around. Randel is in research supervision in chemistry for Standard Oil of Indiana, better known to us as American Oil. They have three daughters, Beth, 11; Pat, 9; and Susan, 5 years old. Ann has been active in the local AAUW . At present she is vice president of her chapter. Occasionally, they come East to visit their parents. Randel's people are in Richmond, and Ann's parents have recently moved to Martinsville. Her address-8347 Kooy Dr., Munster, Ind. Russell Elliott Wiley has had her hands full this winter with a new baby, Linda born in mid-December, David had minor surgery this spring, and the inevitable chicken pox . Sarah Bishop Wilbourne wrote that she had her hat in the political ring this year, too. Both of her daughters are in school politics . Sally will be sophomore senator at TJ and Conni will be a student government representative at Westhampton Junior High. Bish also wrote that she had seen Barbara Dean Kolcum shopping recently. Bobbie has been taking a night class at RPI. This letter has been such fun because I have heard from some of you who knew something about others. Try writing about your summer fun-my mail man never complains about delivering your letters! 1949 Secretary MRS. WM. K. BARKER (Barbara Rhodes) 1700 Chadwick Drive Richmond, Virginia

I got a nice long letter from one of our members who was listed as "lost " in my last letter . Libby Wilensky wrote that she wasn 't really "lost" at all. Since she will be celebrating her 12th anniversary in December, she thought we should know that she is married . After graduation, she went to Hartford, Connecticut, to teach and met Sam Hendler. After they were married they lived in Connecticut for a few years, then moved to Canton, Ohio, where they now live . She has two boys-David, aged 9, and Bruce, aged 3. She also holds down a full-time teaching position as a third grade teacher. Her address is: Mrs. Samuel Hendler 206 34th St., N . W. Canton 9, Ohio Jackie Smith Hagan had an overnight visit from Peggy Reynolds Nolan, Jim and the children in April. Peggy and Jim are living in Little Silver, N. J.

Her address is: Mrs. Thomas Turner 5667 Greenridge Road Castro Valley, California Mitzi Verra Williams, Jack and their two children visited in Richmond over Easter and went on to Washington for a sight-seeing tour. They have a new home in Winston-Salem and are enjoying it and the Wake Forest College area. Rosie Calhoun McCarty wrote that Carolyn Bonham Thompson 's family and friends are going to equip a room in the Methodist Church in Marion as a chapel in her memor y. It will be a lovely memorial and one of lasting comfort to her family and friends . Hathaway Pollard Clemans wrote with news of a new arrival. David Justin Clemans wa s born January 5, 1964, making a neat little family of two boys and two girls. Cher yl Ann , their oldest, is now 5, Susan Hathawa y is 4, and Thomas Walker is 2. That seems to be all of the news for this time. And this completes my year as your secretary. Your new secretar y will be elected at our reunion, and I hope all of you will give her your full cooperation and keep the news pouring in. 1951 Secretary

MRS. CHANNINGBASKERVILLE , JR. (Libba Eanes) McKenney, Virginia Susan Jones Zeller is busy remodeling her home. Her daughter, Katy, is 14 and Stuart is 12.

New address will be: 1629 Princess Anne Dr., Lancaster, Pa. They are pleased, of course, and looking forward to the extra space and the fourth bedroom. Two interesting trips for Dizzy Stuart-Alexander have been one to Lalibella by plane and mule, and another one to a place where she found some early stone-age man's artifacts. "Lalibella, a place I had never heard of before coming here, is a fascinating old monastery-church village. It is situated high up in the mountains on top of its own hill against a backdrop of green and golden encircling mountains, it looks out over about 30 miles of canyons, gorges and intervening ridges, ending up against a distant mountain. It is a truly spectacular view and setting. The Tower itself is at about 10,000 feet altitude, meaning that the nights are clear and cold, the days hot when the sun is shining, but distinctly cool in the shade. Even olive trees grow up here, but no tropical palms or bananas. "The historical interest in Lalibella lies in its churches. These are monolithic structures, literally carved down into and thus out of the rock around them. Somewhere in the 10th or 11th centuries, people inhabited this inaccessible spot, just as they do today, and carved eleven of these churches. They vary in size, shape and intricacy of design, but most of them are fully the depth of a two-story house. It is strange, because you just walk along the level ground and suddenly find yourself looking down upon the roof of a church. As you draw nearer, you find that there is a 20- or 30-foot space between you and the church, but you can walk around this rim, viewing the church from all sides. There churches belong to the Coptic church, and are amazing mixtures of Christian, Jewish, Eastern and pagan designs. All sorts of symbols from the Star of David, to the sun and moon, to the crucifix, are represented. Very fascinating indeed. "My other exciting, historical-type adventure was exploring a region in which stone-age man's artifacts had been found. One shelf of my bookcase is now devoted to hand axes, cleavers and the like. From all available information, these implements must have been used 100,000 years ago (ninety-eight thousand B. C., that is!). It is really thrilling to me to handle something that was actually used by man that long ago. The archaeologists went wild over this area, too (it was found by an amateur who works for UNESCO)." 1953 Secretary MRS.

(Gerrie Kantner) 8309 Vernelle Lane Richmond, Va. 23229 We have some long letters filled with news of our girls on the move, having children and just being busy. Jane Cather was in town recently for the model General Assembly with her group of students from Winchester. All is well with her and she is learning and teaching the new math. Margaret Reilly is teaching at Huguenot High and has her M.A. from the University of Virginia. She went to Europe last summer with the V.E.A. tour led by Dr. Peple and is considering joining the group to the Middle East this year. Betty Eichelberger Allen and Jim have a new daughter, Martha Eugenia, born April 27. This makes rwo boys and rwo girls for the Allens. Jimmy is in the third grade, John is in kindergarten, and Mary Beth is three years old. They will be in Richmond this summer for two weeks while Jim is studying at the seminary. Pat Shomo Bradshaw and Steve spent two weeks this winter skiing in Vermont and had a wonderful time. No broken bones. Their oldest child, Walt, is in the second grade, Kathy is

and Stephanie is at home. in kindergarten, Steve is very busy with his law practice, civic duties and a dozen hobbies. Pat is superintendent of the nursey department at church and plays bridge, which is her contribution to her welfare. Her only contact at the present with W . C. is when she sees Jo Deter Sullivan in Harrisonburg. Since Steve is the local club president . Janet Francis Midgett writes "As you see, we are now Californians . Bob was promoted Dito Assistant to the V . P ., International vision of Friden on March 1. We had a wild scramble trying to get away from Mobile, find a home in this huge San Francisco area (in three days), and get here. We all jetted out in the lap of luxury but then had 10 days to kill in the motel. The house was not ready as promised, the cars took 20 days to be shipped and the distances are so tremendous here that we have had a hectic time getting settled . Bob's job consists of travelling world-wide, visiting Friden offices or setting up new ones. He will concentrate on the Latin and South American region and the Orient . All of you gals who feel you 'll never get to travel because you don't know foreign languages, don't give up hope. Bob is now refreshing his high school Spanish at Berlitz and knows not a tad of anything else. They say I may join him occasionally on a trip or two . We live about forty miles from S. F. and about twenty-five miles from Bob's office in San Leandro. Our house (finally a four bedroom) is situated near the foot of Mt. Diablo in a pictur esque setting of walnut trees and rolling hillsides full of cattle. In fact, the lot adjoining and behind ours has two horses, three sheep, chickens, ducks, dogs and cats and almost everyone has or keeps at least one horse. I can't get over how beautiful and restful the scene is from every window and the weather is glorious. We don't get the fog that those on the peninsula do and our winters are colder (with snow on top of the mountain) and summers are hotter (in the 100° during the daytime but always under blankets at night). Flowers are everywhere. The girls made the school change gracefully and are adjusting nicely to the new neighborhood. Bob has left for his first assignment; he is presently in Mobile, closing his office building which he never got to use. Then on to Boca Raton, Fla . for the annual convention. Coming home, he will take in San Juan, Panama City, Caracas and Mexico City. I had a long letter from Sandy Baka! Chercass. She and Milt are doing nicely in Allentown, Pa . and their Wendy and Amy keep them hopping. What a wonderful letter. Let's hear from some more of you '53ers along these lines . From Louise Hudgins McNally we hear that Dr . Marie Joy Mason is now living in Silver Spring, Md. and doing cancer research for the National Institute of Health in Bethesda . She has been traveling a great deal to Connecticut for data in various hospitals. Joy bought a piano and Lou is giving her music lessons. Lou and Frank bought a new home and hope to move in July or August . Then the boys can start in their new school in the fall. They are off Rt . 198 between Laurel and the Balt.-Wash. Parkway . The McNallys visited Segar and Will Guy and their daughter, Jud y, who is almost four. Will is teaching programming two nights a week at the University of Maryland . Segar and Judy visited Mrs. White in Rocky Mount while Will attended homecoming at the U . of R. Gerry Paul is doing her last year of residency University Hospital. at George Washington She will go in with two doctors in the Arlington area. A letter from Betty Jane Williams Potter said her mother had been quite ill but is coming along better. Marsh, Cecil and the Betty Montgomery children attended the Southern Baptist Convention and Third Jubilee Celebration in At-

!antic City the end of May . There were seven Baptist groups from the U. S. and Canada meeting together to celebrate 150 years of organized Baptist work in North America . While th ey are that close, they hope to visit the World's Fair. Betty says they have really enjoyed their newly formed Alumnae Club in Lynchburg . The ir latest function was a tea for W . C. students from that area. Betty enclosed a letter from Jeanne Plunkett Beckett and Charlie, excerpts from which I am adding here. "Today in all of East Pakistan a most unusual is in progress. Thousands of demonstration college students and workmen are "striking" for a right of democratic expression which our citizenship has assured for generations-the right of every person to vote in national elections. Without more refined means of political expression , potentially explosive situations of this type develop. Although you ma y be aware of some of the tensions which exist in this portion of Asia, there are numerous indi cations of definite progress in Pakistan. Our country was the first to commence regularl y scheduled helicopter flights. Remotely located areas are now just minutes away. The potentiality of this facility for evangelistic outreach is staggering to imagine. "Since our last communi cation with many of you, our happiest moment occurred on October 7th. Early that morning Craig Stewart Beckett was born . Craig is now rapidly growing and appears to be overtaking Julia in size. D aily, Julia's personality and ability to communicate develops. How much joy we have known through God 's gift of these two little Pakistan-born 'missionaries! ' Even now we are looking forward to introducing them to you sometime in the future. " The search for new addresses has turned up the following. Group leaders please take note. Kay Beale (Mrs. T . Carter Coates), Ridgetop Rd ., Richmond 29, Va . Marylee Boling, 5307 Chestnut Ave., Newport News , Va. Phyllis Dwyer, 1519 Bolton St., Baltimore, Md. Ruth Entsminger (Mrs . Bert Pierson), 2900 Cheaney Dr., Killeen, Tex. Star Jan et Francis (Mrs .

We still need one girl to take over a group of four names. And we have not heard from two or three groups at all . Your cooperation is deeply appreciated. You have all been a big help in giving me meat for these letters . Thanks again.

RICE (Martha Boatwright) 1925 Hanover Ave. Richmond, Virginia 23220 Did you grab up the Spring issue of the Bulletin , eagerly turn to page 33, and then not find any news for 1956. I certainly hope you were disgusted. So disgusted in fact, that you decided to do something about the deplorable condition of our class information service . I've tried everything but sending plastic bombs in the mail to gather news, but nothing moves the silent ones. The column, therefore, has become a listing of the social life of the classmates I happen to see here in Richmond. Some lovely, pure souls write and I love them for it. All this is disgusting to me, and should be to you all out in the rest of the country. To try and remedy this situation, a group of brave pioneering people have reorganized our class in an attempt to get better coverage -or at least some coverage. Pat Eanes Jackson and Joyce Still Gibson sponsored a meeting, with delicious refreshment, in May. At that meeting the group decided to try the plan so many of the other classes use effectively.

We divided the class into 14 groups of four or five girls and each person at the meeting agreed to become a group leader responsible for collecting news about that group and forwarding it to me . The group leader will contact you when it 's time for your group to send in any items about yourself and then I can write a half-way readable letter from this information. Also, in the near future, you will be re ceiving a newsletter, plus questionnaire, from your own sweet group leader, giving details of this grand plan and asking about what you have been doing for the last eight years. Like having five children perhaps? We intend setting up a card file on the class, so the next class secretary, God bless her, won't be so completely in the dark. There is a rumor that if you don't return this questionnaire all your hair will start falling out. At least, that 's what the witch promised me when she put the spell on it. These people are lost! Does anyone have any news, addresses, or clues as to where we can write to them? Ruth Dallos Kat MacMullan Louise Thorpe Lois Reamy The brave group leaders should be mentioned here, I believe, as well as Helen Melton Lukhard who has been sparking this plan for a long time. These are the leaders - be kind to them. Pat Ballard Larus Rose Dranchak Martin Pat Eanes Jackson Charlotte Hart Anne Stuart Hill Doris Huffman Moore Anne Jennings Vaughan Janet Knoble Jones Helen Melton Lukhard Macon Moring Horton Nancy Saunders Johnson Joyce Still Gibson Ann Peery Frederick Sarah Thompson Flinn The class ' newest addition to the population explosion belongs to Helen Melton Lukhard and husband who added the third girl, Laurie Elizabeth who was born December 21, 1963 in time for Christmas.

Doris has a new address: 1309 Forest Ave., Richmond, Va. Also Pat Ballard Larus told us of a daughter, Elizabeth Dunning, who was born September 6, 1961. Pat is working now with older children in adoptive placement for Department of Welfare, City of Richmond . Rose Dranchak Martin is doing volunteer work one day a week at Richmond Cerebral Palsy Center. We were all saddened to hear of the death of Joyce Still Gibson 's mother and grandfather in the early spring. Janet Knoble Jones is moving as soon as her teaching chores are over. Her new address will be 3004 Elmbrook Road, Wistar Gardens, Richmond, Va. On a personal note, for the first time since the honeymoon, Jerry and I finally took a vacation; New York, World 's Fair, Broadway Shows, Fancy eating. It was a wonderful week and I hated to come back to an overgrown garden, sewing machine covered with mending and three mean little boys . My only regretnot seeing Liz.

I enjoy my role of mother and homemaker and my "leisure" hours are filled with sewing, hat designing, knitting, tennis and reading. We recently acquired a sailfish and are looking forward to sailing this summer in Michigan's Water Wonderland. Craig, age 5½ years, and Scott, age 3, are a constant delight and challenge to Jim and me . We are all waiting to hear from you. Do write.

Thanks again to all the group chairmen who help me round up news. There are some '58ers that I have not heard from in my first year as your secretary. We want news from all of you.

1959Secretary Mrs. Ellis M. Dunkum (Elizabeth Ramos) 3431 A West Franklin St. Richmond, Virginia 23221 HEADLINES: '59 Reunion held; big success; 55 attend during the week end activities. An enthusiastic group of ladies gathered at the William Byrd Motor Hotel for the banquet which began the reunion week end. Forty-four '59ers, including the class sponsor, Miss Chapman, enjoyed a lovely dinner and caught up on each othees activities. Nancy Phillips brought us up-to-date on the progress of the class during the past five years. We learned that 96 of our 114 are now married with two more joining the ranks during the summer. Becky Keller plans a July wedding, and Cynthia Patteson marries in June. There are 96 off-

springs as of June 5th and several expected the summer. later in June and throughout Four children busy the lives of three of our classmates. Mary Ann Williams Haske, Ginny Strickland Major, and Nancy Hopkins Phillips each boast two boys and two girls. We have husbands in all professions chat you can imagine. So no matter what service or job you may need, a '59er can supply the man co do it. And we are located across the states from California to Virginia and from Maine to Florida. We are even represented abroad in England, Germany, and Okinawa. However, most of us are still in the grand state of Virginia. Nancy cold us of all of our successes and then announced that we had fallen down in one place. As of the 4th of June only twenty of our 114 classmates had contributed to the Alumnae Fund. We feel this is a very poor showing! Stop and think how glad you are to receive the Bulletin four times a year and to keep up with the things that are happening daily at Westhampton. The Bulletin and the so does mail you receive costs money-and Westhampton's growth. Please don't let a year slip by without a contribution, large or small, to your Alma Mater. After the interesting information supplied by Nancy, I had the privilege to thank you who have so faithfully helped where help was needed. Special thanks go again co my group leaders without whom we would never have had a column in the Bulletin. They have been devoted servants, and we all appreciate their contribution. Again I also thank chose girls who have written letters for the Alumnae Fund drive. Some of these girls have written letters each year since we graduated. They have been an invaluable link between the college and the Class of 1959. I know all of you join me in thanking those who served on the Reunion committee: Nancy Phillips, Eileen Cordle, Carolyn Haga, Beverly Evans, Bonnie Haynie, and Martha Chukinas. The class elected the new officers who will serve until our tenth reunion in 1969. President is Beverly Eubank Evans; Treasurer is Bonnie Lewis Haynie; Secretary is Carolyn Nash Haga. You have excellent leaders who will work hard. I hope, and am confident, that you will continue to give your enthusiastic and topnotch support. Saturday found only two of us at the Symposium, eight at the luncheon, but 40 or so at the Get Together at Miss Chapman's. We were quite pleased when Jean Gardy, who transferred to Longwood, dropped by to see us. It was also fun to see Judy Grove Kinter along with the rest of the crowd. Everyone enjoyed talking about and hearing about children, accomplishments, and plans. Many were talking about vacation plans to the World's Fair. Patsy MacDonald Allen hopes many will stop in to see her while in N. Y. She is close to the Fair grounds. Saturday evening B. J. Stamps Rasmussen, Mary Frances Coleman, Julia Jett Shepherd, Nancy Taylor, Cary Hancock Gilmer, Ellis and I were delighted with celethe elegant banquet at Westhampton, brating her 50 years.

Dottie Sparks will return from her three-year term in Japan in July. She writes that although she will be happy to be in America again, she will certainly miss her friends and her work in Japan. She and another missionary will take a short, but interesting tour on their trip home. They plan to go through S. E. Asia, India, U. A. R., and Europe. We shall be eager to hear of Dottie's travels and experiences when she returns. Anita Knipling Scott says that her new home presented a whole new dimension with the coming of spring and summer. She finds yard care and horticulture a big job, but a pleasant one. She expects co soon find out how green their thumbs are.

After his fourth year as chief resident, they plan to go abroad for two years while he fulfills his army responsibility. Margaret Griffin Thompson says that Arc's four-month Good Will Cruise to the Caribbean Islands was changed to a tour to Panama. He left in February and returned April 22. She left the reunion in Richmond to go to Philadelphia to meet Art. They then plan a vacation and a trip to the World's Fair. As I come to the end of my term of office, I wish co thank you for the opportunity to

[ 34]

serve as your class secretary. It has been fun! Yes, at times it was tedious, but anything presents some bad moments. I worthwhile truly appreciate your support, encouraging letters, enthusiasm, and spirit. Always keep that fine, unbeatable '59 spirit! My wish is chat your spirit will grow and spread to a deeper Westhampton College spirit. 1960 Secretary ROBLEY J. LIGHT (Jeanne Kosko) 1916 Nanette Drive Tallahassee, Florida 32303 MRS.

"It is a foolish thing co make a long prologue, and co be short in the story itself." But that is exactly what I must do this time and perhaps the reason is self-explanatory. Our first child, George Evans Light, arrived April 26 and the Bulletin deadline was May 15th. In between bottles and burps, this short column was written . . . and my apologies for the brevity, but is busy twenty-four hours the "Lighthouse" daily. Most of the news this time concerns classmates who are "on the move." Coming back to Virginia after several years in the panhandle state are Lynn Mapp Wiggins, Ben and Susan. After bidding Uncle Sam farewell, Ben will open his private dental practice in Portsmouth the first of September; he is building an office and that provides much excitement for the Wiggins' household. Lynn will return to her teaching career while Grandmother Wiggins keeps Susan. Leaving the Old Dominion are Marie Grasty Harris, Dick and Richie who moved to Raleigh, North Carolina on June the third; Dick is employed by an engineering consulting firm and Ree says chat the job will mean much travelling, both in and out of the country . . . with the added attraction that she and Richie may go along. Also departing from Virginia but coming all the way down the eastern coast are Pat Hunt Worthington, Buck and Kelly. Pat quit her job at the Arlington Health Department Laboratory on June 5, Buck graduated from Georgetown Medical School on June 8, they moved to Miami on June 15 and Buck began interning at Jackson Memorial Hospital on June 24 . . . and that was a busy trio! Pat and Buck had a weekend in N. Y., compliments of the Lederle Drug Company to all graduating med students. Our deepest sympathy goes to Frances Templeman Lathom, whose father died May 4th. Sue Ludington Jones' letter left me breathless after reading how busy she has been. She is directing the Adult and Youth choirs at church, training teachers, supervising the building of equipment and buying for five departments at church.

Joan will be exchanging her position as teacher for that of student this summer while she studies French at U. Va. I wonder if at the end of the summer she will still agree that taking the exam is much easier than creating and grading it. I had a letter from Judy Trunzo saying she thought the distance between San Francisco and here a bit prohibitive to her attendance at the reunion, but she did say, "Hello," to all. Judy also said that her "rolling stone" existence would continue when she returns to Washington in July for training before departing for her France. We wish you the new post-Lyons, best of luck, Judy! Speaking of France, Karen Nordenhaug Ciholas is very happy in her 1532-vintage house in Strasbourg. She and Paul became parents in the spring.

Commencement (Continu ed from page 5)

1939 there were 14 major buildings, 24 in 1964. (Buildings constructed during the past 25 years are South Court dormitory at Westhampton, Court dining room at Westhampton, the Crenshaw Swimming Pool at Westhampton, the Student Center for men and three men's dormitoriesWood, Robins and Dennis halls-the Boatwright Memorial Library, the Law School building, and the Business School building. In the role of prophet, President Modlin saw a substantial emphasis on graduate study at the University during the next quarter-century, with the likelihood of doctoral programs in several fields. The "entire area of continuing education for adults," [ 37]

he said, "will unquestionably be enlarged, as more leisure becomes available to a growing population, a higher percentage of whom has attended college." Friends of liberal education were pleased to hear him emphasize that there would be no change in "the fundamental liberal arts tradition of Richmond and Westhampton colleges." Whatever may come, he said, "the country will need as leaders the kind of men and women who can only be prepared and produced by colleges of the liberal arts and sciences." Not only the honorary degrees to the Westhampton graduates but also two of the six conferred on men were significantly appropriate at the commencement marking Westhampton's 50th anniversary. Odis B. Hinnant, chairman of the University 's bequest program, was a member of the class of 1914 that was graduated on the old campus the year Westhampton was born, and J. Ambler Johnston, as a member of the architectural firm of Carneal and Johnston, has been closely associated with the building program on the new campus. In citing Mr. Johnston for the degree of Doctor of Science, President Modlin noted that "from first site plan to latest building this campus reflects the beauty of his design." Mr. Hinnant, who received the degree of Doctor of Humanities, was for many years a distinguished Y.M.C.A. executive. Westhampton's daughters who received honorary degrees include two past presidents of the Alumnae Association, Mrs. Florence Boston Decker, '1 7, active in civic and religious life of Richmond for many years, Doctor of Humanities, and Mrs. May Thompson Evans, '21, special assistant in the United States Public Health Service, Doctor of Social Service. Mrs . Alice Turner Schafer, '36, chairman of the department of mathematics at Wellesley College, received the degree of Doctor of Science. There were two honorary Doctors of Laws: Virginia State Senator Garland Gray, '21, of Waverly, a trustee of the University of Richmond, and Dr. J. Earl Moreland, president of Randolph-Macon College; and two honorary Doctors of Divinity, the Rev. C. Robert Stevens, '30, pastor of First Baptist Church, Hopewell, Va., and the Rev. R. Carrington Paulette, '37, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Staunton, Va., who delivered the baccalaureate sermon. Exhorting them to exert the "creative influence of a rebel spirit" in molding a better world, Mr. Paulette urged the members of the graduating class to resist "the pull of security and the push toward conformity ." "There is very real danger," he said, "that many of you will be content to become just one of many dwellers in the rows on the hillside, existing in little boxes, but never really living at all." He warned them that in their efforts to become "unique" individuals they will be opposed by pressures to have everyone conform to the norm ." He said their "awakening to real personhood" would come through encounter with

Jesus Christ. Standing in His presence, "we come to know that the call to life does come from the heights where the eternal God dwells in splendor inaccessible, but it arises, too, from the depth of our own being. We may come to see, too, that the pull toward dead irresponsible conformity is the call of the grave, however enticing it may at times appear. "God has a great investment in you. It is more than the investment of your parents, your nation and your college, for his investment includes all of this and, in addition, that little spark of kinship to himself which we call life and which He intends to fan into life abundant." Although neither the commencement speaker nor the baccalaureate preacher indulged in any platitudinous references to the rosy careers beckoning to the men and women of the class of 1964, there could be no doubt that the outlook was bright. Both Dr. C. ] . Gray and Dr. Thomas S. Berry, who have placement responsibilities in Richmond College and the School of Business Administration, respectively, said jobs were available for everyone ready to go to work. Both agreed that employers were becoming more selective and were making their bids for students with the best academic preparation and, hopefully, those who were not subject to military service. Employers were pictured as trying to hold the line on salaries after a period of several years in which the starting stipend has soared, although both Gray and Berry noted a slight increase this year. Particularly encouraging was the strong demand for qualified teachers, a fact which was applauded by Dean Edward F. Overton, chairman of the department of education. Although salaries for teachers were somewhat below that offered graduates going into business and science, the gap was less than in previous years. The reason for the upswing in salaries can be given in "one of the most elementary of economic laws," Overton said, "the law of supply and demand. " He pointed out that the number of students in school today, from the elementary grades through college, is higher than ever before . That means, he said, "more demand for teachers who can now enjoy this bettered competitive position ." Placement officers at both Richmond College and Westhampton noted that many of the best graduates were going into teaching, either immediately or after continued education in graduate school. One graduate turned down a $620-per-month job in industry to accept a teaching job in the $4,800 range . Dr . Overton said the range in salaries for starting teachers among this year's graduates is $4,300 to $5,000 with the average at about $4,500 . He noted a brisk demand for teachers of English, as well as continued demand for teachers in mathematics, science and foreign languages. More than half of the graduates of Richmond College will continue their education

in graduate or professional schools. One of the Richmond College graduates accepted a job in the $7,000 range with a large company with headquarters in Toledo, Ohio, where he will be permitted to continue his education in graduate school.

Lake (Continued

preserve for biological study and some will be held in reserve for a new course of ichthyology to be offered at the University next fall. The lake was overpopulated . This did not surprise the biologists. The lake has not been used as a fishing pond. There were between 60 and 7 5 large bass of the four- to five-pound class. They probably were of the original stocking. "There was only one small bass of about seven inches," said Dr. Wookott. This would indicate that even though the fish spawn in the lake there has been poor survival and growth for largemouth bass. When lakes and ponds become over populated the fish will be stunted in growth. A balance must be maintained. Several huge goldfish weighing three to four pounds each were taken from the pond . Others were permitted to wash to the James River. Goldfish are relatives of the carp and grow rapidly in large bodies of water. They probably were placed in the lake by former owners who kept them in goldfish bowls. Two carp which weighed 20 to 25 pounds each were taken from the pond. They probably served as a bait during their

fledgling days and escaped the hook of a poaching angler or, possibly, entered the lake by traveling the creek from the James River and moving over the dam during high water. Carp make water unsuitable for gamefish by rooting up and destroying grasses which are valuable for sports fishing. They compete for living space and for food with game fish. They roil water and make it unsuitable for spawning for such fish as the black bass and sunfish. They do not eat the spawn of other fish. They can survive in waters not suitable for other fish. Neighbors of the pond also have released "Easter" ducks upon the pond. Ducks join carp and goldfish in rooting up grasses of impounded waters and often cause stained water and lack of oxygen. The surprising thing for Dr. Woolcott was a brown bullhead catfish which may be a record for the species. They usually grow no larger than three or four pounds. There were numerous bullheads in the lake. The large fish weighed 12 pounds and measured 23½ inches in length. It was a spent female. "It had every characteristic of a bullhead," said Dr. Woolcott. "It's head measured 5½ inches across." The biologist is keeping the fish for a more thorough examination to determine that it is a brown bullhead. "If it is, we have some kind of a record." Bullheads are not desirable in ponds. They grow slowly but they breed rapidly and may overpopulate a pond or a lake to the detriment of game fish. Silt and trash fish contribute to the poor condition of ponds. Dr. Woolcott said tests

had shown there is very little plankton in the water. Plankton (small, sometimes microscopic plants and animals suspended in water) is an essential food for young fish which are important to pond balance and pure water. Fishing pressure has very little effect upon pond balance. Overpopulation is an old problem in Virginia ponds, even in those which are heavily fished. A 1955 report by the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries noted : "One problem constantly noted in routine impoundment analysis, including the small impoundments of farm pond size, was the usually consistent pattern of decreased fishing success after a period of three or four years. Populat ion data derived from netting samples, rotenone samples, and actual drainage revealed one population characteristic held in common by all such ponds . All contained disproportionate numbers of intermediate-size pan fishes, such as bluegills and crappies. " This held tru e with the Uni versity pond . Dr. Woolcott and his studen ts wJl study the fish samples taken . Ages of the fish may be determined by examining the scales. Fresh water fish scales are marked , much as the growth of trees are aged, by growth lines upon the scales-a wide band of summer growth , followed by a narrow band of winter growth . Similar marks are found on the scales of saltwater fish but the contrast is not as pronounced because the briney fish will find deep holes during cold water months where the water temperatures are more comfortable . Restocking of the University lake will be no problem. The Sports Fishing Institute reports that "a female bass in a oneacre farm pond could produce enough progeny so that, if all eggs hatched and all fish survived for three generations , there would be enough fish, at one pound each, to replace the water in the pond and to make a heap, one acre in area, extending over 700 feet above the pond. " A bass may lay 10,000 eggs, a bluegill 20,000 and a trash fish as the carp as many as a million. As the lake has shown siltation ,_ pollution, trash fish and an ov~rpopulat10n of sports fish can contribute to muddied, undesirable waters . With the new spillway, the renovated lake will be subject to better management. The growth of grasses, shrubs and trees in the areas of new construction within the lake's watershed should eliminate siltation. A pure water will capture the charm envisioned when the University campus was started upon these rolling, wooded lands in 1914.
