Devoted Son of Alma Mater So often when citations are read honoring the rec1p1ents of honorary degrees, there contains this line, or its equivalent: "Devoted Son of Alma Mater." These few paragraphs are in praise of Chiles J. Cridlin, '29, a devoted son of Alma Mater and in praise of the hundreds of devoted sons and daughters throughout the nation who reflect credit upon their University through their lives of service to their community. Such a man was Chiles Cridlin whose untimely death deprived the University of a devoted alumnus and his church and community a tireless worker and friend. He had the knack of getting the job done, unobstrusively and without ostentation. As president of the Roanoke chapter he gave his time and talent to University projects . Just last year he arranged for the visit of the University Choir which sang several concerts in the Roanoke area. He booked the choir into Hollins College, the First Baptist Church of Roanoke and Patrick Henry High School. He arranged overnight accommodations for the singers in homes of alumni and churchmen of the area. He often visited on the campus, more frequently since the enrollment of his daughter, Margaret, at Westhampton College where she is now a sophomore. These few paragraphs are in praise of those alumni who, like Chiles Cridlin, have served the University over the years and have given repeated evidence of their affection for Alma Mater . One will find them on the campus at Homecoming and Alumni Day, at the meetings of Class Agents for the Alumni Fund, in service on the important recruitment committees, working in support of the Radio Scholarship Quiz in their communities, serving in many ways the institution they learned to love as undergraduates. Such a man was Chiles Cridlin. He will be missed by those who were privileged to know him , to work with him, and to enjoy his friendship. [ 2

U of R Dynastyin Virginia's Third District

Dave E. Satterfield,Ill SucceedsVaughanGary There's a new man in the Congress of the United States from the Third District of Virginia but there will be no loss of representation in Washington for the University of Richmond . For more than half a century a University of Richmond man has served the Third District in the House of Representatives and the 89th Congress convening this month presents no change in that tradition . David E. Satterfield, III, '43, took the oath of office on January 4 with his 434 colleagues in the House following his victory in a tough, four-way general election last November when another alumnus, Dr . Edward E. Haddock, '34, ran a strong third. As the new Congressman from the Richmond area Satterfield is expected to fill the high office with the same excellence that was demonstrated by his predecessor, J. Vaughan Gary, '12; his late father, David E. Satterfield, Jr., '17, and the man who started the University of Richmond trend back in 1913, Andrew Jackson Montague, '84, a former Governor of Virginia. Montague, who was preceded in the House by a man (John Lamb) educated in small private schools, died in office and Dave Satterfield, Jr., won the special election held in 1937 to fill the seat. When the elder Satterfield resigned in 1945 to accept a position in New York City as general counsel and executive direc-

Summary of the Fifty-Year Alumnae Survey

by Elizabeth W . Angle , Class of ' 37

The survey forms unfold a fascinating story of Westhampton's fifty years. They reveal the high attainments and many varied contributions of the Westhampton College alumna to her home, church, community and profession . Indeed, to truly tell Westhampton's story would require a biographical sketch of each alumna . At the time of the June 1964 celebration of our fifrieth anniversary, 1,216 questionnaires had been received: 15 from Richmond College "Co-eds" (classes of 1900-1914) and 1,201 from the classes of 1915-1963. Of 2,867 living graduates, 41 percent, or 1,180, completed the form . This summary analysis, therefore, does not tell the complete story. Each alumna's profile is needed. Of the graduates submitting the questionnaire, 20 percent majored in English, 18 percent in psychology or sociology, 15 percent in history, 8 percent in mathematics, and 7 percent in education or music. There was a definite shift in interest if a comparison is made between our first and our second span of 25 years. English ranked first- a whopping 35 percent-for the classes of 1915-1939, in contrast to third place (13 percent) for the classes of 1940-1963. Psychology, the favorite (26 percent) for the '40-'63 classes, wasn't even in the running in the first 25 years. History was in the second spot for both groups, amounting to 17 percent for the '15-'39 classes and 14 percent for the '40-'63 classes. By far the most prominent career of the Westhampton Graduate is that of homemaker- 50 percent of those completing the form . Education ranks second (27 percent) ; business, third (7 percent) ; and government service, fourth ( 4 percent) . Our husbands are primarily in business ( 45 percent), the professions ( 20 percent) or education (9 percent). Twenty-two percent of us, however, are widowed, divorced or single . Twenty-three percent of the Westhampton alumnae completing the form have graduate degrees. Forty percent have done graduate study and 30 percent indicated other special training. The foremost field of graduate study was in education ( 24 percent), followed by English (10 percent) and history (8 percent) . The respondents to the survey include 13 recipients of the Ph.D . degree (two each in the fields of biology, English and history, and one each in education, chemistry, sociology, mathematics, music, physics and speech). The list also includes 13 M.D.'s-the great majority graduating in the second half of Westhampton's fiftyyear span. The number of respondents with a Master's degree was 203, representing

almost every conceivable field-ancient and modern languages, Bible, library science, personnel administration, guidance, geology, drama, and the social and physical sciences -but heavily concentrated in the field of education (26 percent). Library science was the predominant field of the Westhampton graduate who obtained an additional Bachelor's degree- 16 of the respondents. Our activities outside the home and office also cover a wide and varied spectrum. Four-fifths of the respondents indicated a church affiliation, with many performing active services. Three-fourths belong to social, service and professional clubs and organizations , and many have held offices on the local, state and national levels. Over 40 percent have performed a notable service to her community. One hundred and sixty-two alumnae listed publications as one accomplishment and 148 have received special awards and honors. From these figures there emerges the profile of the Westhampton graduate-a homemaker, an educator, a seeker of knowl edge, a busy non-letter writer, modest in her accomplishments, but a conscientious leader in her home, community, and the world. This is a typical profile, but the variations are numerous . The statistical profile is dull indeed compared to the living profiles that spring from the questionnaires themselves. Think, for instance, of the woman lawyer, now law librarian at Mr . Jefferson's school, who compiled a book on the writings of Woodrow Wilson. Another graduate in addition to being a full-time high school librarian , writes for her husband 's "politically potent firebrand newspaper." Also in the field of politics, an experienced writer, lecturer and editor handled public relations for the women members of Adlai Stevenson's family during the 1956 Presidential Campaign. How about the graduate who was a Lieutenant Commander in the Navy during World War II, now teaching history at Livingston State College in Alabama? It's good to know of one who is professor of piano, organ, and music appreciation at Bluefield College. And another who is head of the department of physical therapy in a school of medicine. Our list includes a dean of women, a counselor of women and an assistant dean of students . There is also a medical missionary in a Baptist hospital in Nigeria and another M.D. as a missionary in East Pakistan. And while we're still overseas, there is a Westhampton graduate teaching geology in the Haile Selassie University at Addis Ababa, [ 5]

Ethiopia , another teaching English conversation and Bible at a university in Tokyo, another working in a chur ch in Malaysia, and still another in T aiwan. How warm and wonderful must have been the experience of the missionary teacher in Honolulu who adopted four children and supported three others in a Hong Kon g orphanage. Imagine the satisfaction of the woman who established a library for the International School in New Delhi and watched it grow from a small room of books into a library of 8,000 volumes. Also among our women doctors is an instructor in surgical cardiology and pedi atrics at the University of Virginia Medical School. In the allied field of bacteriology, one graduate is in the United States Navy as a clinical microbiologist. A number of English and science majors have combined the two fields to become authors with articles published in various fields of research. Some are magazine writers, authors of children 's stories, cook books, travel guides, and several are poets. A former professor of modern foreign languages at her Alma Mater is a recent recipient of a research grant from the Organization of American States. A French professor at a university in Florida was a Fulbright scholar at the University of Paris. The program director for Virginia Educational Television held a Fulbright in Thailand and a Lecture Fellowship in England and Scotland. Another graduate received the Rotary Foundation Fellowship for study in Germany. Other graduates with special honors include the recipient of the Superior Accomplishment Award for work on a Polaris project while employed by the U . S. Naval Weapons Laboratory and a physician's wife who is one of two female members of the American Medical Association's National Speakers Bureau . An incomplete survey? Yes. An inconclusive one? No . It's impossible to compute the number of hours spent in study, worship, soul searching, and work, but this much we have proved-the Westhampton girl walks tall in the long shadow cast by her Alma Mater . We are confident that this shadow will grow even longer in Westhampton's next half century. The author gratefully acknowledges the assistance of Thomas Partain , the former director of the University of Richmond Computer Center, Bailley Brown and David Brydon, senior students in the School of Business Administration, and Mrs . Betty Morris Blankenship , Class of '62.

have just returned from my fourth trip to the Valley of the Nile. My wife and I spent three glorious weeks cruising up the Nile on a river boat to Thebes, that ancient capital of the Pharaohs. This magnificent ruin is on both banks of the river about 480 miles above Cairo, and ancient estimates say it was some sixteen miles in circumference. The cities of Luxor and Karnak cover some portion of its site today, but the vast and beautiful ruined temples, the obelisks and colossal statues, and those magnificant tombs in the Valley of the Kin gs help us unroll the scroll of history of this civilization wherein man first emerged into an economic, cultural and religious sophistication. This was not just a pleasure cruise, but a pilgrimage. For thirty years my hobby has been the study of ancient Egypt, a hobby that is convenient, fascinating and enlightening. Any book store or library can supply the basic material for this hobby. One can pursue it an any pace for the voluminous writings on this and related subjects are almost inexhaustible. And certainly it is not necessary to visit Egypt to have Egyptology as your hobby . Seeing the land unfold as you traverse the Nile is just lagniappe-a little something extra, as we say in New Orleans! As proof of what one can do with just books to read and research, it is said that the author of "The Egyptian," the most popular historical novel on this subject in

our times, had never visited Egypt before writing the book. As a start for anyone, I can recommend as the most knowledgable book on Egypt of our generation "The Burden of Egypt," by Dr. John A. Wilson of the University of Chicago. But you can start anywhere on Egypt. The Bible uses the word Egypt some 700 times and the history of the Hebrews and Egypt are closely intertwined. When Thebes was the seat of the Pharaohs the Israelites knew it as No. And when the prophets were hurlin g their invectives at No (Jer . 46, 13-26) the mummy of King Tutankhamen had already lain in its golden coffin for 700 years. And there it lay for another 2,500 years, untouched in the Valley of Kings, while Thebes was sacked by the Assyrians, the Persians, and the Romans . My friend, the late Dr. Selim Hassan, one of the most knowledgable Egyptologists of all time, used to say that King Tutankhamen had led at least three lives, his short natural one, his 3,300 years alone with the fabulous furnishings in his hypogeum at Thebes, and finally his place of honor in be viewed by all who care to Cairo-to visit this museum . King Tut's tomb was discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter in the Valley of the Tombs of the Kings, near the present city of Luxor. The tomb's four chambers have yielded more than 600 groups of objects, many previously unknown, which are in the Cairo Museum. The mummy is back at Thebes in a tomb there. So he is

(6]

still surrounded by much of the grandeur which was provided for his good life in the afterworld. This all-consuming passion of the ancient Egyptians to conquer death was based on the belief that their gods ( who had obviously favored them with the fairest land in all the world) would grant them much the same through the gift of mummification. As a result our modern world is richer not only for the mummies of their kings but also many examples and records of their lives and times. For the last 150 years, following Napoleon's occupation of Egypt and the discovery of the Rosetta Stone, a grand assault has been made on the secrets of this ancient land. For this black basalt slab found at Rosetta, once an important port, bears inscriptions in hieroglyphic, demotic, and Greek. When it was translated by Champoillion it supplied the key for deciphering hieroglyphics. The stone is now in the British Museum. During this latest journey to Egypt, my wife and I were fortunate enough to fly from London to Cairo with a group of 50 persons, headed by Harry James , head of the Egyptology section of the British Museum. From Cairo we travelled by river steamer, stopping off at the many landmarks that serve as a guide through this ancient land and its history. Before we went ashore each day, we were briefed by Dr. James . To aid in our remembering and for our

pleasure and that of others, I took some 700 color slides with my two Leicas to add to the almost 2,000 I had from our previous efforts. In reviewing my most recent slides I am delighted with those taken for me by a champion. This champion is Abu Hafnawy , a guide who performs the amazing feat of scaling and descending from the full height of the Great Pyramid in six minutes! I have not felt capable of attempting this feat in any number of hours . Perhaps there is nothing more fascinating in Egypt than this Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops), which stands on the plateau of Giza, near Cairo. It remained the largest aggregation of masonry until we built the Boulder dam and the only one left of the seven wonders of the ancient world . Built 2650 B.C. it contains two and one-half million stones averaging two and one-half tons each, a total of six one-half million tons. It would require a train load ( fifty cars) each day (5-day week) ten years just to deliver the material to the site. "No traveller, emperor, conqueror, philosopher, poet or peasant has ever stood before it except in awe and wonderment. " Six hundred fifty years old when Abraham visited Egypt, it is said we know more about its construction now than was known then , for 200 years of anarchy had intervened from its building to Abraham's visit. No structure has been so thoroughly exan_iined, mea~ured and studied as this pyramid. Measurmg 756 feet square at its base, the height is determined by the radius of a c~rcle whose circumference is equal to the perimeter of the square. This gives a height of 485 feet and an angle of 52 degrees and makes the best harmony of shape and volume. Any other angle would appear squat or slim. The apex is now worn down to 455 feet, but the angle remains the same. It seems certain that the ancient architect Imhotep (2650 B.C.) knew how to square the . circle, a mathematical feat we usually attribute to Pythagoras or Euclid, who were yet unborn for more than 2,000 years. Today there is much interest in the temples which will be inundated by the waters impounded above the New High Dam under Construction above Aswan, at the First Cataract about 700 miles from the mouth of the Nile. It will raise the water level 100 feet reaching up to Abu Simbel about 180 miles upstream. Since the waters now la~ at the foot of this temple, it will unless raised, suffer the fate of the beautiful Temple of Isis on the isle of Philae, just above the present dam at Aswan. Today as we see the rising waters cover the Temple of Isis one feels a whimsical dramatic atmosphere for here was the last stronghold of the ancient Egyptian gods. The worship of Isis was not eradicated by Christianity, but only at the coming of Islam, in the seventh Century, was the final demise of the gods who had ruled the Valley of the Nile for 5,000 years. At Abu Simbel there remains a prime significator of an era during which took

place important happenings in our biblical history. Probably everyone has seen photographs of the elaborately decorated facade of Abu Simbel, with its four seated figures, each sixty-six feet tall, and between them the thirty-foot high door entrance . The interior extends 220 feet into the grit-stone mountain . The rooms, walls and passages are lined with statues, painted ceilings and bas reliefs depicting a battle that took place at Kadesh on the Orontes River in Syria about 1250 B. C. Although Ramses barely came out best he took credit for a great victory. He, Ramses II, lived to age 90, ruled sixty years, had 110 sons, outlived thirteen for he was succeeded by his 14th son, Ramses III, who, not surprisingly , was assassinated as a result of a harem conspiracy. At the innermost part of the temple is a sanctuary with a throne on which sits the statue of Ramses with 3 deities. This "holy of holies" is so cunningly arranged that at the equinox the rising sun shines, through the door opening, directly on the seated figures. Approaching them the floor rises, the ceiling lowers and the walls incline, to accentuate the optical illusion of distance. The engineering constitutes a sort of built-in calendar . While we were in Egypt the announcement came that a five-nation consortium had signed a contract with the Egyptian Ministry of Culture for dismantling, lifting and rebuilding the majestic twin temples of Abu Simpel to save them from submersion. The temples will be lifted 75 feet above their present location in this tremendous project which is expected to be completed

in 1969. Saving the temples is a project of UNESCO in which 47 countries pledged to put up most of the $36 million cost. The United States and the United Arab Republic are the biggest contributors . Deputy minister of culture Abdel Moneim Sawi told consortium representatives : "You will go down in history as the accomplishers of the greatest cultural project in modern history." The Gr eat Pyramid and the temples above the New High Dam are reminders of the ancient civilization of the Nile Valley, from which so much of our culture is derived. There is still much to uncover. A multitude of devoted, painstaking scientists are working hard to unroll the secrets that remain as the riddle of an enigma, wrapped in mystery. Hieroglyphics which were in use for 4,000 years in Egypt remain in evidence everywhere, and after being out of the knowledge of man for more than a thousand years are now readily descipherable, adding to our knowledge. Those who have a feeling for the past will appreciate these words of a famous Egyptologist : "At Thebes the traveller views the ruined temples, yet standing to call forth his wonder . They have seen the full portion of time, as history keeps its reckoning, pass before them . They have seen the rise and fall of civilizations, empires, kingdoms, religions; Babylonian, Assayrian, Persian, Hebrew, Greek and Roman . They have seen the childhood of all we call ancient, and they still seem likely to stand and tell their tale to those who hereafter will call us ancient."

See EuropeNext Summer by JAMES A. MONCURE, '49 Not many years ago the greatest adventures of University of Richmond men and women were vicarious ones. They visited the Old Curiosity Shoppe only by reading Charles Dickens. The Roman forum was a confusing picture in the ancient history textbook, and the Paris Follies were reserved for men on leave from the army. Today all this has changed. Students travel all over the world during the summers or have a junior year abroad. Now it is time for the Old Timers to catch up with the younger set and have an opportunity to make up for those opportunities that were not available back when .... The University of Richmond Alumni and Alumnae Associations have arranged a special overseas tour for alumni, alumnae and their families that offers all the pleasures and excitement of educational travel without those tests and examinations. A panorama view of the historic past, participation in the brilliant contemporary life in Europe, and travel with agreeable former classmates will be available to those who take advantage of this carefully arranged tour program. The three-week sojourn and the special tour price have been designed to enable as many to make the tour as possible. The visits to Europe's capital cities provides the opportunity to see as much of the continent as one could hope to see in three weeks. The charm and beauty of London will be seen through visits to the ancient Westminster Abbey and Tower of London. If you have ever wanted to see the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, now is the time to see it. If you love the theater ,

s at Mid-Season Basketeer4-8 74-71 ToppleMountaineers by WALT DREWRY Although Coach Lewis Mills ' youthful Uni versity of Richmond basketball team (four of the first seven players are sophomores) lost a number of close games and had only a 4-8 record at midseason, his "tigers" accomplished one mission no other Spider team had been able to accomplish since 1956. The Spiders defeated West Virginia in a thiller before 4,000 at the Richmond Arena, 74-71, in their 12th game of the season. The triumph not only broke a 22-game losing streak at the hands of Mountaineer teams but avenged a heart-breaking 67-65 def eat by West Virginia at Morgantown. Earli er in the season Richmond had upset George Washin gton, 80-67 . So the Spiders go into the second half of the campaign with a 2-4 Southern Conference mark and a 1-0 record in state Big Five play- the result of an upset 72-66 triumph over Virginia . Johnny Moates, a 6-1 sophomore guard fr om Richmond 's Benedictine High, stole the ball from West Virginia's John Cavacini with only 13 seconds left and WVU leading by one point to set the stage for the "big win" over the Mountaineers . Moates, who scored the last eight points for Richmond , passed off to Spike Welsh, 5-11 junior guard who paced with 25 points. Welsh fed the ball right back to Moates for the layup. When West Virginia 's Bob Camp missed a shot with nine seconds left, it was Moates who grabbed the rebound , was fouled and sank two free shots with one second left. He finished the night with 15 points. Tom Tenwick , 6-4 senior forward and Richmond's big man in the scoring department in the majority of games, accounted for 18 points, just a shade under his 19.9 seasonal average . Tom Green , 6-6 sophomore forward who has been a big help to Tenwick in the rebounding department , scored 13 points before going to the sidelines on personal fouls . Mills , in a rebuilding year, also has called on 6-8 senior center George Atwell and sophomores Billy McCann, a six-foot guard who is developing as a floor leader, and Buster Batts, 6-8 center replacement for Atw ell, with excellent results . Tennessee, one of the Southeastern Conference's top quintets, defeated the Spiders , 97 -66, in the opener with the experienced Vols pla cing six men in double figures while Moates with 18 and Tenwick with 15 points ;paced the Spiders . Richmond bounced right iback, however , to upset George Washington

in the Spiders home opener by a 13-point margin. Moates with 16 points and Tenwick and Green with 14 each were the ringleaders for the Spiders who led by 18 points at one stage of the game . Richmond's two-point defeat by West Virginia at Morgantown was next. The Mountaineers led , 30-22, at the half but Richmond tied the score at 63-all with 4:40 left . Two field goals put WVU ahead by four again but Tenwick, Richmond's top

man with 18 points, connected with two free throws. In the final 1 : 19 Richmond missed three chances to tie the count. Furman showed too much poise and toppled the Spiders, 86-71. Tenwick scored 27 points and grabbed 19 rebounds for the Spiders and Welsh tallied 15 but the hot shooting Paladins connected on 5 3 per cent of their field goal attempts and placed five men in double figures. Richmond came back from that defeat to upset Virginia with Green scoring 21 points and Moates 15 but lost a heartbreaker to The Citadel in double overtime, 75-76. The regulation game ended at 63-all and the first overtime at 71-all. Green's shot at the buzzer rolled around the rim and dropped off in the Spiders ' bid for victory. Tenwick tallied 25 points and accounted for 14 rebounds in the losing cause. The Spiders got off to a bad start against East Carolina and trailed, 42-29, at intermission. They stormed from behind and moved ahead by as many as six points in the second half but dropped a two-point 81-79 decision despite a 29-point performance by Tenwick and 26 by Moates . Richmond ran into Alabama, another hotshooting Southeastern Conference foe, in its next contest and roped an 80-70 decision to the Crimson Tide which hit the hoops with 52 per cent accuracy. Tenwick had 18 points and Welsh 16 for Richmond. Georgetown topped the Spiders, 79-73, although Richmond scored the final 14 points (C ontinued on page 20)

WILLIAM AND MARY WINS 33-13 AS SPIDERS END 3-7 SEASON The University of Richmond football team completed a disappointing season by dropping a 33-13 decision to William and Mary before 10,500 spectators in the Thanksgiving Festival game at Richmond City Stadium. Dennis Haglan, W&M quarterback, threw three touchdown passes while the Spiders were hampered by fumbles and pass interceptions . The Spiders, who compiled a 3-7 record, had dropped a 19-18 decision to Furman 10 days before in Richmond's Homecoming tilt when the Paladins turned a late Spider fumble into the winning six-pointer. Richmond victories came at the expense of VMI, 20-14 (first victory over the Keydets since 195 5), Davidson, 20-7, and East Carolina, 22-20 ( the only loss of the season for the Tangerine Bowl Pirates) .

Other defeats came at the hands of The Citadel, 33-0, Holy Cross, 36-22, and Buffalo, 28-13. The Spiders, whose interior line numbered only two lettermen, placed two players on the All-Southern team-End John Hilton and Defensive Halfback Joe Stromick. Hilton, who plans to sign with the Detroit Lions of the National Football League, played in the Blue-Gray game at Montgomery and the Senior Bowl game at Mobile. He completed the season with 33 passes caught for 554 yards and six touchdowns. His three-year career mark was 87 pass receptions for 1,289 yards and 14 touchdowns. He was the Southern Conference ' s leading pass receiver all three years.

Parents on Campus From as far away as Alabama, Florida, and Ohio, 683 parents attended the Parents' Day program at the University in clear, crisp October weather. They registered, toured the campus with their sons, attended classes with them, ~te lunch with them (box lunches in Millhiser Gymnasium), watched a football game (Chowan Junior College 40, U of R Freshmen 20), attended Science Open House, heard a Glee Club concert, attended Open House receptions on Fraternity Row, and then returned home, agreeing it had been a wonderful day. At the second annual meeting of the Parents Organization, they elected Samuel S. Carey, Richmond television executive, to succeed Dr. Robert W. Allen, '34, as president. Allen, principal of Woodrow Wilson High School in Portsmouth, a past president of the Virginia Education Association, was the prime mover in the formation of the Parents Organization. He is a past president of the Alumni Society. The parents elected Robert F. Ripley, '40,

of Norfolk, vice president; Mrs. William R. Jobe of Amherst, secretary, and Charles F. Bahen, '37, treasurer. Mr. Bahen reported that 152 parents had given $1,3 10 to the University for the landscapin g and beautification of the main entrance to the University. President-Elect Carey later announced the appointment of the following to the Executive Council the organization's governing body: Mr. Allen, Michael W. Kirby of Staunton, John F. Koonce of Blackstone, Charles P. McCorm'ck of Baltimore, Lt. Col. A. L. Michaux, Jr. of Alexandria, and Robert L. Saville, Jr., ' 36, of Richmond. In the SRO crowd that packed Cannon Memorial Chapel there were 143 parents from the city of Richmond, 409 from 92 other Virginia communities, and 131 from the District of Columbia and 12 states other than Virginia ( Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, North Carolina, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and West Virginia) . Parents were grateful to Dean Robert F.

A Studyof the GraduateProgram Biologyat the Universityof Richmond* by WARWICK R. WEST, JR. and WILLIAMS.

HE University of Richmond is a private institution of medium size located in Richmond, Virginia, with the primary purpose of providing undergraduate training in the liberal arts. Since 1920 the graduate program has provided training for a large number of students in several departments. In the training of graduate students in biology the contributions made by large graduate schools are obvious; however, those of biology departments in the small and intermediate-sized liberal arts colleges are often overlooked. To this date there has not been a serious evaluation of the graduate program at the University of Richmond. It is the objective of this paper to show how the program at Richmond contributes to the graduate study of biology; to the training of graduate students; and how it contributes to the over-all program of the University. Data used in this study were collected from permanent record files of students who received Master's Degrees between 1940 and 1962 from the University of Richmond. Additional information came from questionnaires that were returned by these same graduates. Response was exceptionally good as approximately 75% were returned and many of these contained unsolicited comments that were of special interest to this study. In order to maintain the proper perspective it should be kept in mind that the organization of the Department of Biology is primarily for the training of undergraduate students and that the graduate program is relegated to a secondary role. During the period represented in this study the staff has grown from three to seven full time teachers, each of whom carries three four-credit hour classes of teaching responsibility ( eighteen contact hours). The participation of all the staff members in a senior-graduate student seminar each week increases the contact load to nineteen hours. Research courses and thesis direction for graduate students involves from three to ten additional hours a week on the part of the faculty members involved. At present all full-time members of the staff hold the Ph.D. Degree, are graduates of six different * Reprinted from the Bulletin of the Society of Southeastern Biologists.

graduate schools, and represent seven different areas of interest. Further, it should be considered that the academic average of many of the graduate students would not have allowed them to qualify for financial support in larger institutions, or their undergraduate program was inadequate to qualify them for more specialized work. In some cases the general immaturity of the students directed them to a smaller institution. Many of the better students have been those who came back into fundamental biology after being exposed to a period of training in medical school. It should be mentioned that the University does offer financial assistance, but it is not competitive with the support offered by larger institutions. For example, many fellowships are not large enough to cover tuition charges, and the largest has never exceeded $1,200.00. Students who do not qualify for fellowships are able to defray some of their costs by working on an hourly basis in the Biology Department. The Master's Degree in Biology has been awarded to thirty-four people during the period covered by this study. Half of these obtained their undergraduate degrees at the University of Richmond , while the remainder were graduates of ten other institutions (Table 1). The basic policy for admission at present is determined by a majority vote of the staff, while in the past the selection was primarily the responsibility of the departmental chairman. Criteria for admission are flexible but are essentially based on the student meeting the requirements for an undergraduate major in the Biology Department and with some good evidence of potential as a graduate student. Quite often personal recommendations have been of major importance in the acceptance of students for graduate study. Although the overall academic average is given consideration, more significance is attached to grades in biology and to the senior average. The overall grade range of accepted applicants has been from C- to B+ with the average c+. The last year average is B- with the range from a very low D+ to A. In biology the range was from C- to A- with the average B- (Table 2). Selection of students as degree candidates is not made until after they have completed one or not more than two successful semesters of graduate work. The usual time required for the completion of the degree is four semesters with the ( 12]

accumulation of a mm1mum of thirty-two semester hours of graduate biology, including the preparation and defense of a thesis. As stated above, the areas of subject interest of the faculty are varied and this has allowed the research of the graduate students to be directed into a variety of fields. Although each research problem has been unique, by lumping them into general categories there are nine areas represented with physiology and ecology leading the list (Table 3). The influence of the training received at Richmond has carried over into the post-master's work of the Richmond graduates. This is especially evident since 1952, as thirteen of sixteen students who have sought advanced degrees continued in fundamental biology, while prior to that date most who obtained advanced degrees did so in the field of medicine (Table 4). Students who have entered the area of medicine trained at only four schools while those entering basic biology have attended fourteen different institutions (Table 1). Admission to these schools has been in-

fluenced by the improvement of academic performance while at Richmond (Table 2). A summary of the present professional status of the Richmond graduates shows that eleven are practicing medicine, three are in biological research, six are teaching biology, two are in biological administrative work, one is a missionary, eight are students working toward the Ph.D. degree, and one is seeking the D.M .V. degree. Only one is unaccounted for in this survey as his present status could not be determined. Table 2.

Twelve of these Richmond graduates have contributed over 125 scientific publications, many of which are significant in their field. In some instances the publications were direct outgrowths of research done while at Richmond. Obviously the master's graduates have benefited professionally by their experience at Richmond, and in their own words have expressed various items of evaluation of their training with most of their comments favorable. Special mention of the following points was made with the frequency indicated by percentages: personal attention (74%); breadth of background (52%); application of biology to living ( 40%) ; training more than adequate (32 %); and Table 3.

DR. RICHARDSON RETURNS TO RICHMOND PASTORATE Dr . Vernon B. Richardson, '35, for 18 years pastor of University Baptist Church in Baltimore, returned to Richmond in January to become pastor of River Road Baptist Church. Prominent in the Baptist denomination not only in Baltimore but in the Southern Baptist Convention and Baptist World Alliance, Dr. Richardson has served as president of the Maryland State Mission Board of the Baptist Convention of Maryland and is afast member of the Foreign Mission Board o the Southern Baptist Convention . He is a member of the board of founders of the University of Shanghai and has written frequently for religious journals . Dr. Richardson served in Richmond briefly at Westhampton Baptist Church in the early 1940's before becoming a chaplain in the Navy during World War II. Dr . Richardson was one of three alumni selected this fall by the Alumni Society to address University of Richmond convocation under alumni auspices.

One day in November John W . Edmonds, Jr ., '13, sat down at his typewriter with his hat jammed on his head and pen clamped between his teeth and rapped out copy for the November 12 issue of the Peninsula Enterprise.

And when he had put that issue of the weekly newspaper "to bed," he had completed his 50th year as editor of one of the state's finest weeklies and one of the loves of his life . Two months later there came the announcement that the Enterprise had been sold but that John Edmonds would stay on -certainly for a while-so that the new owners might have the continued benefit of his knowledge of the newspaper and the constituency it serves. The University and the newspaper are traditions in the Edmonds family. The bond with Richmond College goes back to Judge Ben T. Gunter of Accomac, John Jr.'s grandfather, who enrolled in 1841. The Enterprise was founded in 1881 by Edmond's father, John Sr., who edited it until his death in 1914. Long before John Jr. was old enough to cross the Chesapeake Bay to come to Richmond College, he and his brother Alfred were folding the newspapers on stools their father had bought for them because they were too small to reach the papers. They learned to set type before they went off to Richmond where Alfred graduated in 1911. John Jr. and Alfred took over the editing and managing of the paper on their father's death, splitting the duties with John editing and Alfred handling the advertising and business details. This was a successful team until Alfred's death in 1962. John no longer canvasses by horse and buggy and boat the two Virginia counties the paper serves as he once did, and he has seen the Shore's railroad wither and all but die. But he has been a progressive booster of the Shore's economy and supported editorially the new bridge-tunnel that now

ALUMNI IN ACTION Author, and renowned man of medicine is Dr. William H. ReMine, '40, specialist in cancer surgery of the abdomen , head and neck at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota . Bill's surgical knowledge is spread internationally by his lectures to surgical organizations and medical colleges. In November he addressed the National Assembly of Surgeons in Mexico City. The last two years have seen him participating at medical meetings in Bermuda, Puerto Rico, Mexico twice, Panama, Colombia, and Canada twice. The Columbia (South America) College of Surgeons made him an Honorary Fellow. In December he spoke and consulted with specialists at the Medical College of Virginia. Besides his many articles in medical journals his first book, Cancer of the Stomach, has just come from the press. Heading a section of surgery at the Mayo Clinic where he is associate professor of surgery, Dr. ReMine is serving his fourth straight year as president of the Mayo Clinic Surgical Society. He was recently elected president of the Minnesota Surgical Society and is a member of the Southern Surgical Society. As a member of the Motion Picture Committee of the American Co-liege of Surgeons, of which he is a Fellow, he won in 1959 and 1960 its annual award for his work with surgical movies. Born in Richmond on October 11, 1918, Bill ReMine attended Albert Hill, Binford and Thomas Jefferson before entering the University of Richmond. In both high school and college he was elected to the presidency of the student body . His social fraternity , Kappa Sigma, selected him as its Grand Master during his senior year, and Omicron Delta Kappa tapped him for membership . He was graduated with a B.S. in Biology. In 1943 ReMine received his M.D. from MCV, where he was initiated into Alpha Omega Alpha National Honorary Medical Scholarship Fraternity. His Master 's Degree of Science in Surgery was won in 1952 from the University of Minnesota, after he spent his internship at Doctors Hospital in Washington, D. C. He then went to Mayo Clinic, and was asked to join its permanent staff when his studies in surgery were completed . It was there that he was chosen for membership into Sigma Psi, National Honorary Research Society. World War II found ReMine serving for two years in the Medical Corps as a captain stationed at Fort Ord, California and Camp Lee, Va. While spending a summer at Virginia Beach Bill ReMine met Doris Irene Grumbacher of Bronxville, New Y.ork. They were married on June 9, 1943. Mrs. ReMine is an art major graduate of Skidmore College.

Four boys complete their household ; the oldest is a freshman in pre-med at Northwestern University, where he will be on the wrestling team . They are : B.ill, 18; Steve, 15; Wally, 12; Gray , 10. This explains in pa rt why Dr. ReMine has devoted for twelve years his efforts as a Cub Scout Master and Troop Commander for the Boy Scouts. Hunting pheasant and quail, fresh and deep sea fishing and shooting in the high eighties at the Rochester Go-If and Country Club are ReMine's outdoor activities. His 5' 11" frame has added but ten pounds since the days he worked out on Millhiser Field, winning a letter in track .

Doctors McDanel, '16, Loving, '96, Wheeler, and Ryland, '92, were his favorite professors. Bill's brother, Gordon, Richmond '42, is a surgeon practicing in Fort Smith, Arkansas . Some recent University of Richmond graduates often visit with Dr. ReMine at the Clinic. They are staff members Dave Carr, '35, Bud Brown, '47, and Ed Goldston, '50.

A SCHEERCOINCIDENCE: BROTHERSPUBLISH BOOKS George F. Scheer, '40, learned from his publisher that his children's book, "Yankee Doodle Boy" was to be published on October 15. He wasn't surprised at that, but was truly astounded when his brother Julian told him that his (Julian's) book would come out on the same day.

George's book is based on sheer fact, Julian 's on sheer fiction. "Yankee Doodle Boy" is the story of a boy during the American Revolution, and a job reported as "a responsible work in military history for younger readers," by the Company of Military Historians.

U. S. Army, has been promoted to Assistant Chief of the Medical Service Corps with additional duty as Chief of the Medical Allied Sciences Section of the Corps. Col. Jefferis is, in addition, the Surgeon General's consultant in pathology and laboratory sciences. Earlier this year, Col. Jefferis received the First Annual Capital Clinical Chemist's Award for his work on standardizing terminology used in reported resul'.s of laboratory tests, and for setting up interlaboratory controls necessary for checking lab results to show their validity. Col. Jefferis enlisted in the Army Medical Service on his graduation in 1932, and during his tour of duty completed two years of graduate work in biochemistry at George Washington University. Following a break in service in 1936, he was commissioned in the Army in 1942 and has served at most of the Army's major medical centers. The author of numerous professional articles, he is certified by the American Board of Clinical Chemistry and is a Fellow of the American Association of Clinical Chemists. non-profit national organization for the promotion of management science in American business. Ferrell, a long-time executive with General Electric Company, came to Toledo, Ohio in 1959 as director of marketing development for Owens-Illinois Glass Company. He is a nationally known expert on marketing management , and his book is based on his experience . "The increased risk of modern business," said the American Management Association in a review sent to more than 55,000 business executives, "has made customer-oriented planning an absolute essential for successful management practice. What once had been expensive errors in product selection, production timing, or facilities planning now assumes the proportions of a disaster." The AMA said Ferrell's book explains how to take advantage of the profit-making opportunities "best suited to your resources and most beneficial to your market."

(Dorothy Sadler) 7100 Horsepen Road Richmond 26, Virginia We were very proud to have eight from '23 at the Homecoming dinner on November 13. Those who enjoyed an excellent meal and good fellowship were Hannah Coker, Altha Cunningham, Elizabeth Hill Schenk, Douglas Oliver, Ruth Powell Tyree, Ethney Selden Headlee, Josephine Tucker, and Dorothy Sadler Corprew. Hannah is happy over the arrival of a new little great-nephew, and Ethney that her daughter and family are back in this country. Elizabeth Hill had been to New York for the horse show in which her daughter had been winning prizes. There was no opportunity to get more news, as we separated after dinner for the program that followed. However, a chance meeting with Virginia Kent Loving earlier this fall found her enjoying her family and her teaching. Her younger son will return from his language work in New Guinea this summer, and she plans to spend most of her vacation with him. Let us have news of the rest of you out there. We don't want '23 co give the image of just a Richmond club. 1924 Secretary MRS.

Louise was not seriously injured but did suffer severe cues and bruises. She was returning from Candy-striper duty at a hospital when another car and hers collided.

The latter part of October when I was in Richmond for a few days, I had the pleasure of looking in on Westhampton. I had a few minutes with Leslie Booker in the Alumnae Office, looked at some of the May L. Keller Exhibit in Keller Hall, chatted briefly with Kitty Bell. However, it seemed all wrong not to be able to stop in for a moment and pay my re• spects to Miss Keller at the Deanery. Please do write me your news. 1929 Secretary MRS. HAMPTONWAYT (Clare Johnson) 4804 Rodn ey Road Richmond, Virginia Mary Stevens wrote our reunion up so beau• tifully that I am sure those of you who weren't there have a clear picture of the events.

Violet 's daughter, Nancy, and her husband Bill have moved to Pensacola where he is a chemist with American Cyanimide. Bill re• ceived his Master's in Chemistry this summer. Had a nice surprise in November when I saw Marguerite Lacy Dejarnette in town. She is fine and looks it, and her family is well and happy. We are delighted that our sick, the ones we know about, are all much better and able to be out again. Helen Orpin's last letter was one of good news. Helen was up and en• joying social life again; Bill Simpson, Violet's husband, after a long illness and much surgery is well again and went to work after Christ • mas; Prudy's Kemp is back after surgery and Virginia Yeaman 's father is home and out again after a stroke. I saw Miss Turnbull at the Museum recently. She has gotten moved to a little house on Three Chopt and was looking forward to having Doris with her Christmas.

They had a most enjoyable visit. 1937 Secretary SHEPHERD Mrss POLLYANNA 1053 Naval Avenue Portsmouth , Virginia 23704 A desperate plea to Mitch (Margaret Mitchell Meador, who promised me when I accepted the job as class secretary that she would send me news at least once a year) brought forth all of the following news: Pat and Louise Thompson Chewning's son, "Tripp," is a senior at Hampden-Sydney and Tommy is a sophomore at the University of North Carolina . Patsy Chewning Young's hus• band, Bill, is now Law Clerk to Justice Snead of the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals and loves his work.

The oldest daughter of Carl and Margaret Mitchell Meador, Barbara, recently moved from for a two-year tour Texas to Newfoundland of duty with her husband, Lt. C. A. Dowell, who is III. They have two children-Barry, now 3½, and Mitch's namesake, who was born last June.

Carole Meador graduated from East Carolina College and had a Southern College Tour to Europe during the summer. She has late summer wedding plans. Shirley Meador is a high school freshman. And aren't we proud of Dr . Carl W. Meador, who was recently elected president-elect of the Richmond _ Academy of Medicine? May I hear from some of the rest of you before time for the next issue of the Alumni Bulletin?

ALUMNA PUBLISHESFAIRY TALE FOR YOUNG READERS "I love children and I have always loved fairy tales," explains Margaret Haley Carpenter, '38, whose new book, 'A Gift For The Princess of Springtime," was featured recently in Norfolk's celebration of Children's Book Week, according to the Virginian-Pilot . "I feel," she says, "that nowadays children are submerged in the scientific world. They need the world of imagination ." Her new publication, somewhat a depar ture from her poetry and authoritative Teasdale biography, is a fable about the origin of the rainbow . Each page of type is complemented by a full page of delicately colored illustration reproduced from the alumna's original pastels. The writer, poet , and artist is no newcomer to literary circles. In addition to her "Sara Teasdale," she is the recipient of the Arthur Davison Ficke Award of the Poetry Society of America, and the Greenwood Prize of the Poetry Society of Great Britain .

1941 Secretary Mas. R. S. GRIZZARD (Barbara Eckles) 5911 Dryden Drive McLean, Virginia Greetings from Northern Virginia! On November 1 Stuart became pastor of the National Baptist Memorial church in Washington, D. C., a church built some forty years ago by both Southern and American Baptists as a memorial in our nation's capital to religious liberty. We're buying our first home where Carol can go to school in Virginia. Each move is quite a wrench, but the warm welcome here has made us feel we "belong" and that the Lord led us here. Bob and Tricia have become campus students and increased admirers of Jean Neasmith Dickinson-who one day made her students write to their mothers! Louise Morrisse Moyer wrote: "Our Arubaites have been back after a three-year absence! I had a wonderful telephone chat with Elinor Kindell Miller while the Millers were visiting the de Voses over Labor Day weekend. During the summer Elinor, Cart and daughters, Lynn and Leslie, have been visiting his parents in New Jersey and her mother in Florida. Secondary education is getting scarce in Aruba, and Lynn is spending her second year in prep school here in the states. After getting her settled in The Ellis School for Girls, near Philadelphia, the Millers returned to Aruba, which is very much 'home' to them." I wish all of us could hear the fascinating accounts of Fran de Voses' unique expedition, the first for our government, into Nepal in the Himalayas. This summer he and Martha combined a speaking tour for Fran with a family vacation with their five children which took them through Hershey, Pennsylvania to Cornell, then to Niagara and through Canada and Michigan. There were also the inevitable college interviews along the route for it is getting to be about that time for son, Peter. "As for the Moyers, I feel as though I must be about the last '41er still 'nursing' a preschooler. Three-year-old Ricky tugs way at my knee while we watch the three girls walk off to school. During the past year Joe embarked on a new assignment with the Weather Bureau, as State Climatologist for Maryland and Delaware, with office at Friendship International Airport." Toni Whittet talked with Bernice Stephenson

Hegarty long distance from London while the Whittets were over there; they tried hard to see each other but had to settle for a conversation. "Stephnie" is happy in her English life and was glad to hear news of our class. At the fall meeting of the Richmond chapter I ate and talked with Elsie Vernon Satterwhite Elmore. Her interest in civic affairs, about which she really does something, is impressive. Teaching school further broadens and utilizes her many interests as her twin daughters near the end of high school. Jeanne Wilkins is the first grandmother among us. Her daughter, Jan Dieg, became the mama of a son on February 9. The response to my requests for group captains to glean news items and pass them on to me has not been overly rewarding. Our mail box is quite roomy, and will welcome all evidence that you are still living, breathing and achieving. 1943 Secretary Mas. DAVID R. TALBOTT (Barbara Lewis) 224 Westwood Road Annapolis, Maryland 21401 Pamela Carpenter Henry's daughter Noel graduates in 1965 and wants a college math major. Six others are in grades 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, and 10. Besides teaching young adults in Sunday school and doing PTA publicity, Pam is taking correspondence courses from Christian Writer's Institute and helping edit a commentary on Genesis for a missionary scholarfriend. Also she is teaching Noel second year Spanish at home. From Bon Air comes word that Charles Krause received his M.S. in Education from U. of R. this past summer and that he continues as Director of Guidance at Manchester High, while Evelyn Allen Krause is still teaching at Manchester. Last year she was initiated into the Alpha Delta Kappa honorary teaching sorority. Son Charles Allen is a junior in high school and active in varsity band, pep band, and school dance band. All of this and a new home too! In addition to planting shrubbery and laying out a garden for their new home, Anne Byrd Tucker Moore attended the Southern Historical Association in Little Rock, Ark., and the American Historical Association in Washington to keep in touch with old friends

as well as the latest professional trends. Another traveler is Rose Koltukian Wallace who went to Mexico City in May. She climbed the ancient Pyramid to the Sun, saw the Folkloric Ballet, visited a typical Indian market, and tried out her Spanish while Jim worked around the clock every day. He is there off and on this winter. Rose's interest in history was revived this fall when she attended a series of lectures on the book of Genesis, given by a scholarly and delightful professor from Mt. Holyoke College. Mary Elder Pauli, our current farthest traveler, enjoyed Paris, the French countryside, Geneva, the Alps, the Mediterranean, and now views the Acropolis daily as she drives down the streets of Athens. The children's schools there are good and Mary is "struggling" (her word, not mine) with daily Greek lessons. Does anyone know whose turn it is to take over this job in May when my year, my second go at it, will be up? Evidently most class members get tired of not answering the same old double postals; so I am for giving you all a change of secretaries! Cheers! 1944 Secretary Mas.

From Mimi Hill Boynton, bless her, comes a long letter full of her varied activities as the mother of 3 boys and 2 girls. They have a Higgins trailer and a Ford bus so you know they must have a lot of family fun together. They vacationed with the children to Myrtle Beach, Jekyll Island and on south to Florida. She writes: "We had a grand time, and this year for the first time we got some real cooperation from the children in setting up and breaking camp. "This year everyone here is either in school or kindergarten. I am helping at our church's kindergarten two mornings a week for Doug's tuition, and I find that his absence the other three mornings makes it possible for me to get just about as much done as before. I have been doing a little more church work than usual . . . teach an adult class and also had a small part in helping to introduce the new material the church has prepared, to adult teachers on the Presbytery level." In late October Mimi and Doug took off for a trip by themselves. This time they went to Hatteras and Ocracoke where they enjoyed the birds. She said, "Camping without children is heavenly-no one saying that there's sand in the sleeping bags or that his shells have been stolen or that it is not his time to do the dishes. I think we will do it again next year."

From the return address on a package from Molly comes the news that Jim is now Major Stephenson. Their address is 1552 B South 7th St., Blytheville AFB, Ark. I see Gene Keever's children often thanks to their tandem bicycle which circulates throughout the neighborhood and enables me to identify them easily. Stonie has been at a dental meeting in New York recently. He is building an office and is trying to bone up on all the newest techniques and equipment. I enjoy working some mornings for him. I am also knee deep in church work as counselor for Junior Hi's, leader of a newly formed circle of young girls, and Secretary of Membership Cultivation for the District Woman's Society. I suppose I should have my head examined but it keeps me out of trouble, and I especially enjoy working with the young people. Fleet is very happy with college life and having to work hard, thank goodness. I do hope to hear from many of you before the next deadline March 15.

1946 Secretary MRs. D. 0. GoooE, JR. (Frances Anne Beale) 5430 Dorchester Road Richmond, Virginia

As I receive news concerning the class of "'46 I'm more aware than ever that perhaps ·these are the "happy years" for most of us! :Families, community participation, hobbies and _jobs require skillful management of TIME for ·us all it seems. To cite a few examplesWe feel the Washington, D. C. area alumnae ,club, one of our largest, is most fortunate this year to have one of the class of '46 as its :president. Already good reports are coming in of the leadership of Cora Lynn Chaffee •Goldsborough . Irene White Bain, the mother of three girls, is having a busy year serving as president School PTA here in of the Westhampton .Richmond and seeing that her husband, Carl Bain, newly elected vice-president of the Virginia Pharmaceutical Association, doesn't overlook his meetings. Mary Frances Bethel Wood and her husband, Giles, are quite active in the Virginia Museum of volTheatre Associates, an organization for the Virginia Museum unteer workers Theatre here in Richmond. As chairman of the costumes committee and a member of the make-up force, Mary Frances had a busy fall with the production of "Guys and Dolls." She and her husband, who is vice-president of the association, also had the pleasure of helping entertain Alfred Drake when he visited the Museum Theatre during the late fall. His gentlemanly qualities and versatility greatly impressed Mary Frances! Another busy class member is Joyce Eubank Todd, the mother of three school age children and wife of Howe Todd, Director of Planning for the City of Richmond. In spite of many meetings, Joyce and her family did manage to spend Thanksgiving with Nancy Todd Lewis and her family in Gates, North Carolina. According to Joyce, Nancy with three girls and one baby boy has still found time to contribute to her community in such ways as Christmas Pageant Director and promoting a club for project recognized by the Fedyoung girls-a erated Women's Clubs of North Carolina. Nancy's leadership of this group helped earn for Nancy in recent years the title--Outstanding Club Woman of the Year in the State of North Carolina.

And to Jacqueline, we express our sympathy in the October loss of her mother, to Lola Carter Goodell who lost her father October 3, and to Mary Lucy Willis Bareford in the loss of her father November 14. A letter from Peggy Clark Bowdler reported that her three children are in school now and she was enjoying some "consecutive hours for reading and sewing" in the midst of triple PT A efforts. She and her family are still in Washington, D. C. but anticipate a possible Latin American transfer in the near futurean added incentive for her planning to get into a Spanish conversation group during the winter quarter of school. From Peggy we learned that Betty Bowdler

Muirden has recently moved to Lancaster, Penn. where her husband, James, is with the Spanish Department of Franklin Marshall Colsix and lege. They have two daughters-ages two. In closing I would like to share with you an excerpt from a note recently received by me from Miss Coker, Westhampton College MeIt reads as morial Garden representative. follows, "Thank you for your check from the class of '46.

My last view of Kenya was seeing a small herd of zebra munching grass quietly beside the airport road. " Lucile Hedley Slette writes "If prizes are given for the most rested, I'll take on e !

They stayed in their hut s and regarded us pityingly for the idiots we were. Back in Bahrain the swimming pool has been our second home all through the summer . Richard (3) led the way by winning a Toddler 's Race of one width early in the season. All the children out here swim well , of course , because it's about the only form of recreation they have in the hot summer month s and we have two lovely pools in the camp.

Jeanne Plunkett Becket and Charlie are really enjoying their two babies. Along with her medical and evangelistic work, they keep Jeanne busy. You remember that they are in East Pakistan. Whenever we hear of the dangers facing our missionaries abroad and the opinion that within a very few years, the white man will not be welcome in many of the Asian and African nations, our prayers go out to them that their work may meet with success and the Word may be spread.

Marilyn Keeton Comer has almost fulfilled her requirements for M.A. degree in education. Betty is also studying through a University of Virginia extension and doing substitute work.

Their middle child, Becky, is a member. A happy note from Janet Francis Midgett tells of the arrival of Robert Parker, II . Born June 12, his three big sisters adore him.

Peggy is the first woman to hold the title Economist for the Virginia Division of Industrial Development and Planning. Peggy teaches Mathematics of Finance at RPI night school. She and her parents are moving to the Meadowbrook section of Chesterfield County, where she and Kay Ownby's parents will be neighbors . Another name found in the news

is that of Suzanne Kidd, who continues her active musical life. Her most recent accomplishment was the direction of a play, "Little Merry Sunshine," in which she also conducted the orchestra . Suzie Prillaman Wiltshire and Charlie are settled now in Branford, Connecticut, which is about 15 m inutes from New Haven and Yale. There are other John Hay Scholarship men settled in their area, so Beth has plenty of little friends. Charlie is taking Russian, history of France, history of 19th century music, 19th century art, French literature of the 18th century, and a course in teaching foreign languages. Suzie audits two courses and uses the Yale language lab quite frequently. Four year old Beth hasn't been left out. She attends the Gesell Institute Nursery School where she has taken a development exam with Dr. Ilg. Maybe she will be the subject of a book one day. In addition to academic activities they have attended plays, numerous concerts, lectures, museums, coffees, and parties. Suzie says they will be thoroughly spoiled by June. Another classmate swimming in cultural activity is AnneMartin Baker. As a matter of fact, during intermission of DON CARLOS at Lincoln Center she bumped into Suzie Wiltshire.

The Dabney Yarbroughs (Carolyn Smith) and F. E. Bishops (Shirley Hill) were scheduled to come until the last minute when a sick baby, and a sick car prevented their coming. I hope one of your New Year's Resolutions was to write your class secretary. 1959 Secretary MRS. RALPH L. HAGA,JR. (Carolyn Nash) 3609 Chamberlayne Ave. Richmond, Virginia

A bursting-at-the-seams letter from Sylvia Haddock Young reveals her astunding schedule! Not only does she teach math in a brand-new campus-style junior high school (where she's sponsor of the Student Council, among other things) but she is in charge of the Teen Board and attends the knitting classes which it sponsors two nights a week, plus a weekly meeting with the store personnel to discuss Teen Board activities. She teaches a Sunday School class, directs the youth choir at Paige's church and devotes one evening a week to various church activities, Circle meetings, and visitation. What a schedule! Bev Brown Floyd spent two weeks with her parents recently in Annandale. One of the high points was having dinner at Jo Barker Campbell's with Susan Payne and Mary Frances

[ 30

Coleman. They were thoroughly entertained by Jo's three boys. Susan is happily settled in her new homestead: 1500 Arlington Blvd., Apt. 1015, Arlington, in the same building as Mary Frances. In fact, Susan "camped" with her until getting furniture in her own apartment. All the W.C. girls in this area are extremely good about getting together. Gary Moore Barnes says the Indian summer weather has been perfect for her garden club activities. Her parents spent a week with them in October and were there during the club's annual flower show. David is nearly two, and starred at the Barnes family reunion at Thanksgiving. They enjoyed 3 Auburn football weekends. Nancy Phillips reports that Bill is working on the new Master of Humanities degree at U. of R. night school. She's still "woman's clubbing right much-to h is disgust-but I thoroughly enjoy my position as chaplain of the Monacan Jr . Woman's Club." Nancy and Bill, their six-year-old, hiked up Old Rag Mt. this fall-8 miles-"we figured if Senator Byrd could, so could we." Speaking of clubs, Ruthie Adkins Hill is working hard to get a stronger W.C. Alumnae chapter built uo on the Pen insula. She and Bob stay busy· with church work, his two graduate courses, and their "l ;ttle precious," Mary Lawrence, age 2. Ruthie's constant companion and conversationalist. Ruthie is working at home grading English themes and term papers for two teachers of college preparatory students at Hampton High School. Nancy Craig Eaton writes: "Our names are Dick, Craig, Cathy (4½), Betsy (11/~), and 'Bud' (Richard John, Jr.-5 months old). Since three of us are pre-schoolers, two of us have our hands full." Dick is still with The General Tire Co., and they are buying their home at 8304 Shannon Hill Rd., Richmond, just off Three Chopt. I especially enjoyed Jehane Flint Taylor's letter from London. Their third son, Sean, arrived on July 30th, "is big and fat and very healthy looking and I keep him out in the pram (in the drizzle at times) just like all proverbial English mothers! Before Sean was born we went to Majorca for a holiday. It was simply marvelous and relaxing. My mother was here for two months before and after Sean's arrival so it was great fun. Incidentally, Miss Roberts and her niece came to tea in August when she was in London on holiday," Sam's tour of duty in London is over in April, 1965, and he is undecided about making a career of the Navy. They will probably return to the U. S. in the spring. Jehane has acquired a number of antiques and the apartment is "crammed with furniture which is just aching for space. That is the one thing I crave here in London-space." We have found Sandra Dew Perry! She and Bill moved to Virginia Beach in July, where Bill is teaching biology at Kellam High School and will start work on his Master's in January at William and Mary while continuing to teach. Sandy is one of two assistant cataloguers at the Norfolk Public Library. They both like their work very much. Martha Carole Rogers also teaches biology at Kellam, and Ginger Morgan is in that area. Sandy was in a bad accident on Nov. 16. A man, who had been drinking, came down the wrong side of the road and hit her car head-on. Miraculously she escaped with only a cut lip, sore neck, and a few bruises. The man himself was killed, and Sandy had to appear in court on Dec. 14 to be legally cleared. Sandy is nearly ready to turn in her thesis and will go to Chapel Hill for orals. Jean Rice Hodder and Bob spent the Thanksgiving holidays in Richmond with their families and were eagerly awaiting a return trip at Christmas. Three other somebodies who were very excited about going home for Christmas are

Barbara Dulin Polis, Charlie, and Chuck. They flew from Texas to Virginia and divided a two-week leave between Culpeper and Louisa. Peggy Dulin Crews and Merrill will also be in Culpeper. They have thoroughly enjoyed the Florida climate and would be delighted for any of us to pay them a surprise visit. Bev Wine Bowers and Al spent a week in Miami and Peggy and Merrill gave them a guided tour. They even cooked steaks on the beach one night. Merrill and Al were good friends at V.P.I. so it was really a reunion. Bev says they picked oranges and grapefruit in their back yard, enjoying sunning, and did some fishing on the Keys. Earlier they spent three days at the World's Fair, visiting with Jo and Eddie Mierke on the way. Albert is a mechanical engineer with Burlington Mills. Janice Dowdy Briggs and Ed were to fly home from Denver for the holidays. Janice is teaching second grade this year and Ed is in school at Denver University and working in a research lab at Colorado General Hospital. Mary Beth Stiff Jordan and Bob just returned from a unique trip to India and Thailand and have been busy with speaking engagements since. They are so eager to tell us all the details that they are preparing an article to submit to the Bulletin, complete with photographs, so they are putting a lot of effort into it. Martha Jordan Chukinas is taking typing and an art's and craft's class which she is thoroughly enjoying. They love being back in Danville and the grandparents love it too. Eileen McCutcheon has moved to 4206-A Brook Road, Richmond. She couldn't be more enthusiastic about her job in the pulmonary lab at M.C.V. where she and her respirator are ready to help everyone from a post-op. surgical patient to premature babies to accident victims. Becky Keller Ottinger and Charlie are happily settled at 3461 Martha Curtis Dr., Alexandria, where Becky is teaching 7th grade math in Fairfax County. This has forced her to brush up on modern math in a night school course. Charlie is an adjustor for Nationwide Insurance Co. and is taking one graduate law course at G. W. They, and Becky's parents, spent Thanksgiving at Charlie's home in Blacksburg . The California trip used up all of Ray's leave for this year but Nancy Kipps Hughey managed to take in the game and parade of the V.P.I. Homecoming weekend, and to take Mike to South Carolina for Thanksgiving. All the grandparents converged on their house for Christmas. Nancy is certainly enjoying the new home but don't believe says they're still painting-"! we'll ever finish that!"--and they have worked hard at landscaping the lawn. Mary Marlowe Price reports that construction has begun on their new house, a two-story Dutch colonial built into a hillside with 4 acres of land and a creek running through the back yard. The children are delighted that they can hear cows mooing and pigs oinking on a nearby farm. This is the last year Mary will be eligible for the Newcomers Club and she is taking full advantage of what they offer. She and Eleanor Heath Godsey both play in a N. C. bridge club, and on Tuesday mornings Mary takes a class in ceramics. Jenny stays busy teaching her tricks to Kimberly. Jay has been selected as one of the "Outstanding Young Men Of America" by the Jaycees and feels terrifically honored since J.F.K. was among those so honored in the past. In September for a Mary and Jay went to Williamsburg Judicial Conference and on to Virginia Beach where they saw Mary Stevens Gasper. "She has 3 darling children and looks just the same as ever."

Guess who wrote this time! Pat Nettles Harrington! She and Dick have built a colonial ranch home in "Beechwood," at 885 Loraine Dr ., Newport News, complete with neighborhood swimming pool where Dick is the treasurer. The whole community has built up within two years and they love it. Pat is a Sunday

School teacher at the new St. George's Church. She has "two grand little gals running around. Susan is four and Janie is two and right now they like each other a great deal and it makes everything so pleasant." Sandra Hardy Hatch is one of her neighbors, and has two children, a boy and a girl. Sylvia Olney writes that she is at the University of Virginia working on her M.Ed. in the teaching of Social Studies. She is on a year's sabbatical from the Newport News school system and will return there next year. She and Bonnie Clark, '60, live together at 416 Monroe Lane, Charlottesville, and are renewknew each ing an old companionship-they other in high school. Lots of familiar faces there, including some of their students! Sylvia is proud as punch of her two-year-old sister Amy, who was quite a surprise to their family, "bu t has been an absolute joy as you can well imagine." The Olneys have opened their home this year to a foreign exchange student from Egypt and are reaping untold pleasure from the experience. Recently the (Southern) Presbyterian Church in the U. S. voted to allow women to serve as Deacons and Elders, and Margaret Griffin Thompson has been elected as the first woman Deacon in Norfolk's Third Presbyterian Church . She feels quite honored. Art's ship participated in Steel Pike I, the big Navy-Marine Corps Amphibious Operation in Spain recently, but he came home with "walking pneumonia." In January he'll be off again for 3 months in the Caribbean. Anita Knipling Scott has joined a literary discussion group, is working on the church bazaar, and has volunteered one Saturday morning each month to St. Albans' Library where she reads to pre-schoolers during the Children's Story Hour. She proudly boasts of a new nephew and two little Godsons. Ellen Matlich Klein has been fixing up the larger apartment at 3801 39th St., N.W., Washington, D. C. Eighteen-month-old Amy is helping her, and Ellen finds her to be a delight. The Kleins were in New York over Thanksgiving to attend the engagement party for Ellen's sister. Anne Goodwin Meeks (we finally found her!), a Navy wife, is teaching 6th and 7th grade history in Roanoke while awaiting Bert's return from a 14-month tour of duty in Japan. Bert is a fighter pilot but while in Japan his primary job is that of Communications Officer. Anne's address is 226 Chestnut St., Apt. C, Salem, Va. Shannon is now 4, and Anne Michelle ("Shelly") is 2. All are hoping their next duty station will be Hawaii! Margaret Spencer Hernandez, another Navy wife, experienced some anxious moments recently when Jess had to eject, at 20,000 ft., from a disabled jet (something not in the school curriculum). They took a trip through New England this fall and especially liked the Boston area. Margaret Griffin Thompson visited them in October. Ginny Strickland Major, Ralph, and the four children, are back in Richmond, where Ralph has started a business. They own a home at 1214 Hollins Rd., in the West End. She's eager to hear from the '59ers in Richmond. Becky Webb Moran and John have a new son, Michael. Mark is 4½, and Leslie is 3. Becky says she has her hands full. Mary Trew Biddlecomb Lindquist joined the Westhampton Jr . Woman's Club this fall and is thoroughly enjoying it. She also took a knitting course at the Y.W.C.A . for six weeks . She, Bonnie Lewis Haynie , and Carolyn Moss Hartz, '58 (who took a 12-week course in golf) drove together, left the children at the "Y" nursery, and ate lunch downtown after the class. Mary Trew was coerced into signing up for another six weeks because Jeff adored going to the "nursery school" so much . Jerry has been reporting on all the professional and high school games since football season began and he has been out of town nearly every week-

end. Mary Trew's sister, Betty Flo, is her "star boarder " right now. She is practice teaching at Maybeury Elementary School and will be Mary Trew's chief dishwasher and baby sitter for nine weeks. Bev Eubank Evans is teaching 9th grade introduction to physics and chemistry from 12:30 to 3:30 P.M. She promises me she and Catherine will come to visit me "after the spring thaw ." Our household is fairly frantic. Jeff's latest trick was emptying the coffee pot on top of the cat, who was snoozing on a kitchen chair. He adores "Stone Bone," and is constantly doing nice things like this for him. Laurie practically lives at a friend's house and Ralph spends a lot of time in the woods hunting_ Margaret Jean Gardy ("Tootie") and Jackie Feeman are sharing an apartment at 5619 Crenshaw Rd., Apt. H, Richmond, not far from me. Tootie got her degree in Library Science at Longwood and is head librarian at Fairfield Junior High School. She and Jackie are learning to ski, have joined the Richmond Ski Club, and are looking forward to some nice trips, where Jackie predicts she'll promptly break a leg and write off the skiing in one fell swoop. Jean Martin Wyndham's mother suffered a heart attack this fall but is much improved. Jean is kept busy teaching. Patsy Kelly Clark and Doug have moved into their new home at 327 Riverside Circle, Ellicott City, Md. It's wonderful but there is still a little painting and fixing to do . Elizabeth Ramos Dunkum and Ellis have finished painting and installing a new ceiling in their basement and they are very happy at their new address. Ellis teaches on Monday nights at University College and takes a graduate course in economics on Tuesday nights. He is still a C.P.A. by day but does very little travelling for the company these days. B. B. Harvey Strum and Sherwood's little daughter Betsy (Elizabeth's Godchild) is reported to be the cutest thing imaginable. She'll be two on March 27th . Allen was home for Patsy MacDonald Thanksgiving and was seen at the U. R.W. & M . football game. We had a very fine dinner on Friday the 13th of November at W. C. Homecoming. Julia Jett Shepherd, Shirley Gordon Highfill, Anne Norris Myers Johnson, Elizabeth Ramos Dunkum, and I were the only '59ers who made it. Anne says she and Bob are still in the Army but Bob is on an extended leave to attend T . C. Williams. They have two cute little girls . This was Shirley's first trip back to W . C. She is teaching while her husband finishes up at U . Va. in electrical engineering and is anxious to leave Charlottesville. Naturally we were isolated in Court Dining Hall, as always, but there is something new this year: intercom boxes mounted on the walls, so we heard Dr. Modlin's remarks, and Dr. Wheeler said a few words. Barbara Worrell Jessup is teaching 28 cute fifth graders in a lovely school 15 miles from Southern Baptist Seminary, where Walt is working on his Master's in music. Their address is P. 0. Box 325, Southern Baptist Seminary, 2825 Lexington Road, Louisville, Kentucky. Barbara 's parents flew out for Thanksgiving and enjoyed seeing the campus and Audubon Park Baptist church where Walt is Minister of Music. Barbara and Walt came home for Christmas, first in Newport News at Walt's, then in Richmond until Dec. 28. On December 27 the church Walt served as Minister of Music while in Richmond held an Open House in their honor. They look forward to returning to Virginia after Walt completes degree requirements. A friend in Louisville is Becky Branch Faulconer, whose husband, Harold, is a doctor at Louisville General Hospital. This has turned out to be a rather cut-anddried letter. I'll try to be more scintillating next time. Don't be bashful about submitting news.

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 lives 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.

118 Kennedy Avenue Louisville 6, Ky. Once again I now bring you the world coverage of our famed class of '64 . As most of you know our class is quite scattered from Thailand to the Nation's Capital to California. Due to the Christmas rush and scheduled marriages and other "necessary " activities, our news has diminished somewhat from the last issue.

On December 19 Joyce Sanford will become Mrs. James Hunter Brittingham. Beginning in February she and her husband will live in Martinsville, Virginia. On December 20 Mary Cross Brittle will marry Tracy Floyd who is in his last year at Richmond College . Con gratulations to you both!

With the work of an enthusiastic executive committee we have some very exciting plans for this coming year. We have scheduled a wide variety of activities that we hope will -enable each of us to be a part of the Washington Westhampton Alumnae. As college women we wanted not just to relive old college days but to enlarge our interests and continue to grow and at the same time have some fun and raise money for Westhampton. November 7, 1964, Saturday-One of the most timely of the new books EIGHT MOON, was discussed by its co-author, Betty Lord at

our fall luncheon. This is the true story of a young girl's life in Communist China. Sansan, Mrs. Lord's sister, was four when left in China as the Communists took over, and now as a teenager has been reunited with her family. Through her eyes as told to Mrs. Lord the book recreates most vividly the things that happened to her and her feelings under the Communist regime. Some of you may remember having seen Mrs. Lord and Sansan on the TODAY show recently. The luncheon was a Chinese family style dinner held at the Peking Restaurant at 711 13th St., N.W., in Washington. This was a most exciting meeting. December 8, 1964, Tuesday-There was a theatre benefit at the Arena Theatre of Jean Anouih 's brilliant, sophisticated comedy, THE REHEARSAL. Wendy Cline (Mrs. Bernard Cline) was in charge of reservations and we received a percentage on the sale of tickets. January 24, 1965, Sunday-This will be the date of our other theatre benefit-NEW MOON by Sigmund Romberg, given by the American Light Opera Company-which will give a delightful change of pace. February, 1965-ln February we will have a visit to the Nigerian Embassy where we will hear not only from the Nigerians themselves but will have a chance to talk with a member of the Peace Corps recently returned from work in Nigeria. March, 1965-One Saturday in March Miss Turnbull and Miss Crenshaw will be joining us for lunch and a time of reminiscing about Miss Keller. You may not be aware of the fabulous horde of things pertaining to Miss Keller that Miss Turnbull has uncovered in going over the things in the Deanery, ranging from a portrait of Miss Keller as a small child along with a box containing the clothes she wore in the portrait to all the letters Miss Keller sent to her parents from her studies abroad and all the letters she received. Miss Turnbull will be bringing some of these things for us to see as well as some books and tokens of Miss Keller's life which will be auctioned off for the benefit of Westhampton. April, 1965-At our spring tea we will have a chance to see dances performed by Orchesis from Westhampton. May 15, 1965, Saturday-Westhampton women with their husbands included will play hosts for the Saturday night Open House at the International Center at Meridian House where foreign visitors making their first visit to the United States are welcomed. During May will also be our joint meeting with the men from Richmond College which we are hoping will really turn out to be a dinner dance this year. We have recently sent out a new directory listing the 231 Westhamptonites in the Washington area. Here are this year's officers of the Washington Area Club: Cora Lynn Chaffee Goldsborough, President (Mrs. H. B. Goldsborough, Jr .)-893-7917 Lynn Stephenson Cox, Vice President (Mrs. Eugene D.
