TheIndividuaIs l All-Important We commend to all alumnae and alumni the tributes to Professors Wiley (page 3) and Wright (page 8) who end their teaching careers at the University this year.

Both were outstanding teachers, both were devoted to the institution they served, and both were wedded to the belief that God is no respecter of persons.

In their youths both had their horizons broadened in their contemplation of mankind, Miss Wright on the campus of Lincoln University where her father was president, and Hun Wiley in his long years of service to the University of Shanghai.

To each of them the individual was all important . And students, recognizing a genuine affection as well as a genuine concern for their welfare, came to them with their problems, ofttimes problems of such an intimate nah1re that they could be confided only to someone who cared.

Not only students but faculty members found Jean Wright understanding and sympathetic and also discreet. "She not only knew the right answers," an admiring colleague said, "she knew how to respect confidences."

Certainly no pollyanna, Miss Wright's occasional cynicism was never marked by acidity or cruelty. She could laugh at the foibles of the human race, even her own foib les; but there was never anything funny in the misforhmes of her friends.

Dr. Wiley never could hide his light under a bushel, despite a modesty that he tried to make effacing. Many men with much less talent and a good press agent would have made the headlines more frequently. He never cared for headlines as he went about doing good, like the Master he served.

He had his share of adversity, as all men do, but no one would ever know that misforhme had ever crossed his path. As an admiring colleage said: "When you're with Hun Wiley you think you are home on the range, there is never heard a discouraging word."

Colleagues and former srndents of these two great teachers and outstanding persons will wish them an abundance of life's good things in the years ahead.

HundleyWiley:Scholar , Teacher, Friendof Man

* * * * * He Made Learning An Exciting, Vital Experience

by R. INMAN JOHNSON, '15

James Hundley Wiley can say, as did Abou Ben Adhem of old, "Write me as one that loves his fellow-men."

A scholar, a teacher, a minister of God, he is a devout follower of the Master who held no man common.

Most of the life of this distinguished member of the class of 1915 was devoted to teaching, first at the University of Shanghai and since 1944 at the University of Richmond.

The individual was always his first concern. He has always been interested in what he has described as "the other side of the teacher's desk." He would throw out a question to a sociology class, mediate for a moment while perhaps glancing out the window, and then ask, almost casually, "Bert Jones , how do you feel about that?"

His students say that he was an unusually effective lecturer whose statements and observations reflected his scholarship and dedication to a science that is concerned with all mankind . But he was an even better umpire! He liked to throw out the ball and let 'the players take it from there. If some times they seemed to be wandering from the playing field, a skillfully phrased question, a gentle suggestion would bring them back.

The baseball analogy is not inappropriate for Hun Wiley, a demon shortstop, a letter winner for four years and, in his senior year, captain of the Spider team that won the State championship. His love for baseball, it might be added, has diminished but little over the years. A classmate, David Nelson Sutton, relates that in Japan he met a Chinese who spoke almost perfect English.

When asked where and how he learned the language so well, he replied, "A man named Wiley taught me English and baseball in Shanghai University ."

Urbane, erudite and scholarly, a perfect prototype of the college professor, Dr. Wiley still retains the merry twinkle in his eyes, still flashes the smile that illuminates his whole face as it did in the days when he was a student in Richmond College.

In was inevitable that Hun Wiley should have enrolled in Richmond College. Born in the Baptist parsonage at Bentonville, Va ., he grew up in a family of high ideals and purposes. His father, a rural pastor for

J. HUNDLEY W ILEY fifty-seven years, served twenty-two churches by the time of his death in 1944. In all these pastorates the salary was small and the strugg le to educate six children would have been even more precarious but for the produce from a garden and the "fringe benefits" from the gardens and smoke-houses of church members. Despite the meagerness of the family income there was never any question but that all six children should go to college. This ambition for a college education for the children was characteristic of Baptist families of that day. The top rail could fall off the fence and weeds grow

(3]

in the corn rows but through the inspiration and sacrifice of parents the boys went to college. And, to Richmond College, for seldom was any other college mentioned at home.

This educational tradition was absorbed by the boy in the parsonage, affectionately known by his college mates as "Hun " Wiley , and has been passed on to his children. He is the father of four children and the grandfather of fourteen. In September the first of the fourth generation, Dr. Wiley 's grandchild, will enter the University of Richmond. This same tradition existed in the family of his wife, the former Elizabeth Ellyson, the daughter of a distinguished Virginia lawyer who at one time was Secretary of the Virginia State Mission Board.

Fourteen members of the Wiley and Ellyson families have been students in the University of Richmond .

As a freshman, Hun Wiley was supposedly under the aegis of an older brother with whom he roomed on the "old campus."

It was the year after Ryland Hall had burned and rooms for students were scarce.

Some of the faculty members gave up their houses on the campus and for two years the Wiley brothers lived in the attic of the Whitsitt Cottage . At class reunions , Hun Wiley has been known to confess that his elder brother sometimes failed at discipline ; at midnight the policeman standing at Lombardy and Broad often became the target for fire-crackers thrown from the attic window . Although, in the best tradition of old grads at reunions , he would re-live college pranks and exploits on the baseball diamond , he humbly expressed his gratitude for the teachers who kindled the spark of what was to become a burning zeal for learning .

Teachers of the stature of John Calvin Metcalf, R. E. Gaines, R. E. Loving, William A. Harris, and Dice R. Anderson . It was Dr. Anderson, he said, who impl anted in him a love for history, a love still green in this boy from the parsonage after more than fifty years of living and miles and miles of travel.

It was in his senior year that he shocked the campus by joining the "Jaspers" and the Ministerial Association. His fellow-members of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity (C ontin ued on page 13)

A Summaryof Twenty Years: Report by PresidentModlin As this meeting of the Board of Trustees marks the end of two decades under the present administration of the University, a brief twenty-year summary of the institution's operations might be appropriate and interesting. This is not in any sense presented as a record of achievement by the president but rather as a statement of growth during these years resulting from the devoted efforts and loyal cooperation of the faculties, the administrative staff, the Trustees, alumni, and friends of the University, the support of the Baptists of Virginia, and the favorable economic and educational conditions of the period. Of the forty members of the present Board of Trustees twentyeight have been newly elected during these two decades.

Enrollment

The total enrollment of students during the twenty years increased, primarily because of the influx of World War II veterans, from 2,296 in 1945-46 to a peak of 4,794 in 1948-49, then declined to a low figure of 3,452 in 195 3-54. Since then attendance has gradually increased each year to the current record of 7,593.

Faculty

In 1946 there were 73 full-time and 38 part-time members of the faculty, compared with 161 full-time and 113 part-time teachers this year. During the two decades 375 full-time and 165 part-time faculty members have been employed, resulting in an averageturnover of approximately 18 per cent a year. Of the present full-time faculty of 161, there are 23 members who were also on the full-time faculty of 73 in 1946.

Early in the period the administrative operation of the faculties and academic offices was reorganized, with the placing of greater responsibility upon the deans and departmental chairmen . There has been a steadily increasing interest in research on the part of faculty members, encouraged by the establishment and gradual expansion of a program of faculty research grants. Most of the faculty have also been active in professional, community, religious, and public affairs. The quality of teaching has been stressed, with emphasis on individual counseling and guidance of students, culminating in the formation of the University Center for Psychological Services. A policy of providing travel allowances to faculty members attending professional meetings was early adopted , and a program of sabbatical leaves for the faculty was instituted, with 47 mem-

bers having been on leave. The group hospitalization plan was expanded, with the University providing major medical benefits to all faculty members. The University's contribution to the T.I.A.A. retirement plan for the faculty was increased, and the University has just adopted a plan of total disability insurance without cost to the faculty. Salary scales for the various professional ranks were established, and thirteen general increases in faculty salaries have raised salaries approximately 325 per cent in the twenty years.

DAVID NELSON SUTTON, '15, LL.D. The former president of U. of R.'s Alumni Society was one of four to receive honorary degrees at commencement. Sutton, a member of the University's board of trustees, stands beside President Modlin as he reads the diploma.

Realismand Courage* The greatest revolution of our time is found in the proliferation of freedom. Men in every part of the world have heard about freedom. They will never be the same again. They dream of ful fillment through freedom. They demand equality from men and nations, totally unmindful of the testing through time and training it entails. Twenty new republics in Africa have been born in this decade. The United Nations provides a forum for amazing demands. Younger nations which have known freedom for a mere moment in time claim privileges normally attained through centuries of experience. Many of these younger nations seem to think they can leap from illiteracy to learning overnight. Why talk of reason, rights and responsibility! Yet, to be realistic in our time seems to look clearly at the proliferation of ideas about freedom and its benefits.

* * * * * Another reality needs no elaboration-the confrontation of communism and western democratic free society. Leade,rs in both camps now know that each has the power to incinerate the other. The resultant threat to the extinction of the species is no idle threatit lives with us daily in our power confrontation.

* * * * * . . . the way of life we want to preserve cannot be defended by weapons, guns, tanks and plans. Rather must its strength be built and retained upon the firm foundation of a moral order . We can't retain the fruits without watering the roots.

* * * * * Supremely we can have courage because we know, if we are true realists, that this is still God's world . He made it. His laws inhere in it . . . . It is pitiable for a man to think for a moment that he can break God's laws. When he tries, he soon discovers that he can break himself over those laws. The strongest power in the world still works toward righteousness. Man can ally himself with that power- and become conqueror.

1966 COMMENCEMENT Those who love the University of Richmond could find cause for rejoicing at commencement. The largest graduating class degrees -514 men and women-received at exercises in the Mosque. President Modlin gave the Board of Trustees at its annual meeting a heartening report of progress during the 20 years of his stewardship. The Junior College, which has more than lived up to the most enthusiastic predictions, graduated its first class. The Board of Trustees, disappointed but not dismayed by rising building costs, gave the green light to the president to go ahead with the construction of a fine arts building at a cost of approximately one million dollars.

As for the graduates, a record number (100 in Richmond College alone) will go on to graduate and professional schools, some will go into the military service, others will launch immediately upon careers in business and other activities. For those who sought jobs, placement directors at Richmond College, the School of Business Administration and Westhampton College were in agreement: "They never had it so good."

Balding alumni comparing their own starting stipends might be forgiven an incredulous whistle at the starting salaries of the class of 1966. The range was from $450 (very few that low) to $750 a month in business and industry. Even teacher salaries were encouragingly up with a range of from $4,800 to $5,500 for graduates with bachelor's degrees, up to $6300 a year for those with master's.

President J. Earl Moreland of RandolphMacon College told the graduates they must take a realistic look at a world in turmoil and prepare to meet each crisis with courage and faith . He suggested that they not waste time feeling sorry for themselves and further that they might emulate their Elizabethan forebears who "could face both life and death with a cheerful spirit," could go to their deaths "wit h a jest and a prayer; they never groveled with self-pity."

The previous evening, the Rev. Richard M. Stephenson in his baccalaureate sermon told the degree candidates that they couldn't expect instant success and that even college graduates might cultivate a reasonable degree of humility. "If ever you are tempted to think of yourself as a self-made man," he said, ''call yourself over to a corner and have a good talk with your memories.

Of course, if one could really be a selfmade man it would relieve the Almighty from some mighty embarrassing responsibility."

He reminded the graduates in the words

of President Hopkins of Williams College is a charity case." that "every student ...

University of Richmond graduates, he pointed out are indebted not only to the founding fathers, the teachers and administrators who have built the University over the years but also to "dedicated men of industry and commerce who have invested some of their profits" in the institution and to the Baptists of Virginia for their substantial financial support.

In addition to the 514 who received bachelor's and master's degrees, the University conferred four honorary degrees, the Doctor of Divinity degree on Mr. Stephenson. Three alumni also were honored : David Nelson Sutton, '15, of West Point, a past president of the Virginia Bar Association, who received the degree of Doctor of Laws; W. Braddock Hickman, '33, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, Doctor of Commercial Science, and William L. Lumpkin, '3 7, pastor of the Freemason Street Baptist Church in Norfolk, Doctor of Divinity .

Although the commencement exercises were mov~d into the air-conditioned Mosque by the University administration which had tired of trying to guess the weather which was a constant threat to commencements in the Greek Theater, there was one com[ 5]

mencement nonetheless on the parent campus. University College, the youngest division of the University's seven and created to serve Metropolitan Richmond, had its first graduating class. Twenty-one students who had successfully completed two years in the Junior of college level work-17 College and four in the evening divisionreceived associate of arts and associate of commerce awards.

The University College commencement was held in Dennis Auditorium of the Business School but two years hence probably will be held in what is now the sanctuary of Second Baptist Church. Because of University College's expansion, the trustees acquired the sanctuary and educational building of the Church at Franklin and Adams streets. Conversion of the two church building s to educational uses should be completed before the start of the 1967-68 session.

No date has been set for the completion of the Fine Arts building, one of three buildings made possible by the successfully completed $1,500,000 campaign. It will enable the University to house under one roof activities of the drama, music, fine arts and speech departments now occupying six buildings ranging in elegance from Cannon Memorial Chapel to quonset huts.

Portrait of Herman Thomas Dedicated

AlumniSaluteBelovedProfesso Alumni came back on May 14 to salute a beloved professor, hear a discussion of the University's future in intercollegiate athletics, and watch the baseball team wrap up another State championship .

Dean Martin L. Shotzberger, '48, of University College spoke for all alumni who have been privileged to know Herman P. Thomas, '1 7, when he proclaimed him: "Great and inspiring teacher and exemplar of the Christian faith." The occasion was the dedication of the portrait of Dr . Thomas who has reached retirement age but will continue on next year as teacher and chairman of the department of economics.

It was a moving occasion for Dr. Thomas whose devotion to the University has been unbroken since he came to the old campus, green as the grass on his native southwest Virginia hillsides. Although he has given almost 40 years of his life to the service of Alma Mater, he has said repeatedly that he still considers himself deeply in debt to the University which "took me in when I was poor in this world's goods."

This son of a dedicated Baptist minister and alumnus of the University, was an honor graduate of Richmond College and an honor graduate of the University of Vir ginia where he won his Ph.D . degree. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Omicron Delta Kappa.

Dr. Thomas ' memory will be perpetuated at the University through the establishment of a $10,000 scholarship to which reference was made by Dean Shotzberger . Scores of persons who sat in his classrooms and others in the Richmond business community have contributed to the scholarship.

Alumni day began on a dark and dreary note with a cold drizzle falling. But that didn 't deter Business School alumni from attending their annual breakfast in town where they applauded an address by David E. Satterfield III, '43, Virginia's Third District Representative in the national Congress.

The weather was not much better when alumni began assembling in Dennis auditorium of the Business School to hear a panel discussion of the question: "Where Do We Go from Here- Athletically?" They came also to meet the new football coach, Frank Jones, who is attempting to lead the Spiders out of the football wilderness after a season in which they won no games.

President Modlin assured the alumni that the University was interested in fielding "representative" teams in all sports and was giving "generous" and "increasing" support to the intercollegiate program.

"GO D'S INDIVIDUAL 1s the most important segment of society. . . " Professor Thomas in the classroom.

Coach Jones, who took over his duties with a limited supply of talent and a major recruitment problem facing him, was understandably guarded in his predictions. He

said, however, that he hoped to build a team that could represent the University creditably and win perhaps half of its games with Southern Conference foes, most of which have more resources.

More optimistic was Basketball Coach Lewis B. Mills whose team last year showed lots of hustle in winning the State championship. Pointing out that the City of Richmond seems committed to the construction of a multi-million dollar coliseum, Mills said he hoped to build a team sufficiently strong to draw some of the nation's outstand ing teams to the coliseum.

Athletic Director Malcolm U. Pitt, '18, in response to questions from the floor concerning relatively few home games in football , said that the University did not have funds available for grants-in-aid comparable to those of most other Southern Conference schools; hence, he said, it was necessary to schedule away-from-home games where attractive guarantees were offered.

Later in the day, Coach Pitt demonstrated again that whatever the fortunes of the Spiders in other sports, a winni ng performa nce could usually be expected on the baseball diamond. His team downed William and Mary, 2 to 0, to give the Spiders under Pit t's tutelage 16 state champions over a period of 32 years !

over the events of the day, including the luncheon. At this luncheon the Alumni Council medal was awarded to Brainard Guy Peters of Richmond who was adjudged the outstanding member of his grad uating class. The presentation was made

by William J. Fallis, '36, book editor for the Broadman Press in Nashville, the first to receive the medal when it was inaugurated by the Council in 1936.

Peters, who will enroll at Michigan State University in September on a $12,000 fellowship for work leading to his Ph.D. in political science, is one of only five men to graduate from Richmond College with a straight-A record. (The first to finish with a perfect score was Clyde Francisco, '39, now professor of Old Testament at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Nathan Safian, '56, now a Portsmouth dentist; the Rev. John Polhill , '6 0, now a student in St. Andrews College, Edinburgh, Scotland, and William Roberts, '61, also broke the straightA barrier.)

The Norman Medal for the outstanding student in the Business School was won by Richard W . Elliott of Gladys, Va. He will continue his education in the University of Virginia Law School. The medal was presented by Thomas C. Leggett, '54, of Leggett' s Department Store in South Boston, Va. Golden Legion certificates were presented at the luncheon to the class of 1916 which held its 50th reunion the preceding evening.

Dr. John H. Garber presented to President Modlin a check for the class gift for the establishment of a memorial book fund.

Solon B. Cousins, Jr., '47, winner of the Alumni Council medal as the member of his class most likely to succeed, is the new president of the Alumni Society. A Student Government president and varsity basketball player at the University, Cousins 1s now general executive of the Boston Y.M.C.A. Announcement of his election was made at the Alumni Day luncheon at which his predecessor, A. P. Gates, '48, a vice president_ of the Mobil Chemical Company, presided.

Earlier in the day the Alumni Council, the fund raising arm of the Alumni Society, had elevated first vice president Carle E. Davis, '54, Richmond attorney and accountant, to the presidency. He and other officers of the Council will be charged with the responsibility of guiding the 1967 Alumni Fund.

(Retiring President G. Fred Cook, '25, announced at the Alumni Day luncheon that the Fund , which had merged last year with the capital gifts campaign conducted in the Richmond area would move for the third year to the $100,000 plateau-thanks to matching gifts from an anonymous Mr. X. At that time the fund, including the matching gifts, stood at $80,400. It reached the $100,000 mark on June 15).

In addition to Solon Cousins, alumni elected three vice presidents: George W .

Sadler, '43, a Richmond attorney; Edwin B. Brooks Jr., '43, president of the Security

Cousins

Davis

Federal Savings and Loan Association of Richmond, and Judge George F. Abbitt Jr. of Appomattox ; a secretary, Enders Dickinson III , '40 of Richmond, president of Plywoods and Plastics, Inc., and chose two members for the executive committee, Theodore F. Adams Jr., district traffic manager for the Newport News area of the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Co. and H. Stewart Massie, Jr., '49, agency manager of the Hartford office of Travelers Insurance Co. The alumni also re-elected C. Porter Vaughan, '40, for a three-year term on the Athletic Council.

Officers of the Alumni Council, in addition to Davis, are James E. Frye, Jr., '53, and Howard E. Falls, '33, vice presidents; Joseph E. Nettles, '30, secretary; Cecil F. Jones, '43, treasurer and four executive committeemen: Rawley F. Daniels , '40; John W. Edmonds III, '53; A.E. Dick Howard, '54, and Edmund C. Harrison , '56.

InspiringTeacher . . . ChristianExemplar * Remarks by Dean Martin L. Shotzberger, rn dedicating the portrait of Dr . Thomas.

It was reported that a portrait of Herman Pollard Thomas, retiring professor of economics, would be presented to the University today. Let me say to those students who have taken Money and Banking only twice that I have good news : You will be able to take it a third time next year! President Modlin informs me that Dr . Thomas, although technically at the retirement age, has been persuaded to remain on next year as chairman of the Department of Economics.

When Dr. Thomas read the article he is reputed to have said, "Some one is a literalist in the Biblical sense. Three score and ten add up to 70 all right but not senility. "Moreover," he stated, "they were not real good mathematicians in those days and even worse as economists. If that old curmudgeon Ralph McDanel (to use Harold Ickes' word) can teach 18th Century Conservatism, I can still teach the Gold Standard-and I will."

Thomas Carlyle referred to economics as the "dismal science." This he did because he was familiar only with the works of such early economists as Parson Thomas

[7]

Malthus. He did not, however, know of such economists as Herman Pollard Thomas.

This gentleman has dedicated his life to two key principles. He has devoted his life to two important institutions. He has given himself to thousands of people directly and hundreds of thousands indirectly.

The principles to which Herman Thomas has dedicated himself, in his words, are "T he worth of Christian education and the worth of the American enterprise system."

These principles led him to a rigorous study of economics and a full career of teaching in the University of Richmond. The University which he said "took me in when I was poor in this world's goods" and the Christian church are the two institutions to which he has devoted his life.

In almost four decades he has influenced immeasurably the lives of thousands of students in the classroom where his sharp finger rent the air asunder as his Southwest Virginia twang opened eyes and ears, so that his keen analyses of economic issues, principles and problems did not fall upon (Continued on page 14)

The Girls Don't Argue Enough with Professors

SheNever Got ProperlyRegimented

by RHEA TALLEY STEWART, '35 If it is necessary to choose one adjective for Dr . Jean Gray Wright from the language which she has taught for 36 years at Westhampton College, it would have to be "sec."

That is, "sec" as applied to a fine wine, with plenty of sting to set off other flavors, nothing sweet that cloys. There is even a "dryness" to her appearance; smooth clear skin and bright brown eyes and hair that has been shining white since she first came to Westhampton, and never one of those hairs out of place.

French is an appropriate language in all ways for Dr. Wright to have taken as a career. In the first place, French is the "lingua franca '" of nations, which has held the rank , more than any tongue since Latin, of a universal language, vital to diplomats and travellers. Likewise, there is a universality to Dr. Wright's outlook on life, and she started with it in childhood.

For Dr. Wright was far ahead of the rest of us, who today are newly aware of integration among races in schooling and in life . Her father was a professor at Lincoln

University in Pennsylvania, a college for Negroes, so she grew up among ambitious young men who were also remarkably advanced for their era. Some Africans came here to study, and one whom she remembers was Nkrumah, who not long ago learned that he was no longer head of Ghana in a situation that must have appealed to Dr. Wright's sense of irony, while having lunch in Peking with Mao Tse-tung. She recalls Nkrumah as endowed even in college with his Messianic complex which later Jed to enormous statues of himself all over Ghana. Also alive in her memory is his reluctance to bathing, and she tells of the time a commotion was heard in Lincoln University dormitory, which proved to be a group of fellow-students forcibly giving Nkrumah a bath. "Pe rhaps," she comments, with her dry- that word againsense of humor, "he felt it only fitting that other people should bathe him."

It was in this unusual milieu that Dr. Wright received her early education, for the children of faculty members did not attend

public school but were taught by the professors, so in a way she went to college before going to kindergarten. "When my father taught me mathematics, he launched me into algebra and trigonometry without bothering about anything so elementary as simple arithmet'c." Some day she must be asked to speculate on what would be her chances in this day of "the new math."

So when Dr . Wright finally got to college on her own-and the lucky institution was Bryn Mawr-she was baffled. "I don't think I ever got properly regimented. If you once get started wrong, it's hopeless."

Bryn Mawr gave her a bachelor's degree and, after she had acquired a master's from the University of Pennsylvania, a doctorate.

Shortly after graduation she made the first of a dozen trips to Europe, this time to study at the Sorbonne and to continue the pursuit of French which her mother already had inspired. Home was in a 16th Century palace, so drafty that when she and a roommate caught the measles, the doctor pre( Continued on page 39)

16th Title for Mac Pitt

URNineWinsStateChampionship

by WALT ER DR EW RY Staging a whirlwind finish by sweeping a doubleheader from Virginia Tech and defeating Willi am and Mary on Alumni Day, Coach Mac Pitt's baseball team captured the State Big Five crown with a 5-2 loop mark. Overall the Pittmen had a fine 17-6 record and were 7-5 in Southern Conferen ce play. The state championship was Pitt's sixteenth in 32 years of coaching .

The Spiders, who had lost their first Big Five game to W&M , 5-2, at Williamsburg, evened their loop mark at 1-1 when Lefty Dick Di ckinson beat Virginia , 7-5. How ever, Richmond was no better than 2-2 after splitting a twin biJI with V.M.I. Sophomore Dick Balderson, who had blanked West Virginia , 1-0, to give the Spiders a split with the Mountaineers in his previous mound appearance, hurled a three-hitter at the Keydets and won, 3-2. V.M.I., however, captured the nightcap, 2-1.

The Gobblers were leading the Big Five when they came to town for the double header with the Spiders. Balderson, who hails from Portsmouth, and Dickinson, a junior from Newport News, silenced the Gobbler bats as they won , 7-2 and 8-1, on a pair of five-hitters. Spider Catcher Emory Maiden batted in four runs with four hits in the opener. Frank Jenness and Randy H ash each had two-run triples and Jim

Cliborne a home run for the Spiders in the nightcap.

After bowing, 5-1, to Navy at Annapo lis when the Middies scored all of their runs in the eighth inning , Richmond returned to Millhiser Field for their championship Big Five game with William and Mary before the old grads. For six innings Balderson and W&M ace Joe Power were locked in a scoreless duel.

Richmond , limited to one hit for six innings, won the game in the seventh when Balderson singled to right field to score Randy Hash , who had singled and gone to second on Louis Carro's one-bagger . That was all Balderson needed although the Spiders scored an insurance run in the eighth for a 2-0 victory. Balderson gave up five hits and struck out nine Ind ians.

Captain Richie Sharff, senior second baseman from Arli ngton who batted .333, and Richmond Junior Jenness, the club 's leading batter with a .391 mark and a fine shortstop, were named on the All-Southern team.

Sharff was a repeater . Balderson, who had an 8-2 record and .70 earned run average, was named to the second team along with First Baseman Tom Green ( .338) , a junior from Bristol, Tenn.

Maiden, a Richmond junior, was the only other .300 hitte r for the Spiders who had a

Di ckinson won four games and lost only one for the Spiders.

Pitt's overall record is now 376 victories and 198 defeats, one of the finest in college coaching ranks.

HarrierPost s BestRecordin10Years One of the happiest person s on the University of Richmond campus last Spring was Fred H ardy, the Spiders' energetic track coach. The reason? The Spiders had enjoyed their finest season on the cinder paths in a decade and only one member of the squad, Captain Richard Elliott , was a senior .

H ardy, a native Richmonder who was a track star at John Marshall High in the mid-thirt ies and later a fine distance runner for the University of North Carolina and co-captain of the Tar Heels in 1940, is devoted to the sport. Although track facilities at the University leave a lot to be desired and H ardy has only six tuition scholarships to offer, he persuaded 73 varsity and fre shman athletes to compete in track and cross country during the year. Many of these youngsters weren ' t top-flight h igh school trackmen but developed under Hardy 's watchful eye.

N aturally, Hardy would like better facilities and more scholarships but he does a

remarkable job with what he has. There are no indoor track facilities so Hardy and his hearty lads practice outdoors for the winter indoor campaign . Often, when the lake is

frozen, his boys will pract ice runnmg on the ice.

This season the Spiders won four dual meets, lost one and tied one and captured four events (the 100, 220 and 440 and mile relays) in the Southern Conference Track Meet in which the Spiders finished in a tie for third place with West Virginia much to the surprise of everyone.

"Six or seven boys had to carry the load," Hardy reminded. "We didn 't have much depth . We should be better next season since we lost only one man and some of the upcoming sophomores should help in the distances."

Bob Crute, the bri lliant young sprinter from Radford, had a fine season. He won the Southern Confe rence 100 and 220-yard dashes in 9.8 and 21.6 seconds, respectively.

T he latter was a SC record . Earlier in the year the youngster with the fine tenor voice shattered the school 100-yard dash mark when he was clocked in 9.6 seconds against Virginia T ech. Bob, who owns the school record of 21.2 seconds in the 220 set as a sophomore, tied the SC 100-yard mark in (Continued on page 39)

JonesFacesRebuilding Job

GridmenWill BeWell Conditioned,HardHitting Frank Jones, assistant head coach at Mississippi State for the past four years, is the University of Richmond's new head football coach and faces the challenging task of building the Spiders into a winner. Jones, who produced a Tangerine Bowl team at Presbyterian College before taking the post at Mississippi State, insists he's no miracle man but guarantees the Spiders will be a well conditioned, hard hitting team that will play exciting football.

There's a depth problem this season, which means that a number of players will have to play both offense and defense, and the team faces a rugged 10-game schedule that includes six Southern Conference foes.

Four of the Conference opponents, however, will be played at Richmond City Stadium.

The 1966 slate includes home games with V.M.I. on October 7 and Davidson on October 22, both at 8:15 o'clock (EDT) , the Homecoming game with Furman on November 5 at 2 o'clock (EST) and the traditional contest with William and Mary on November 19 at 1: 30 o'clock (EST) .

The Spiders play their first three games on the road against the University of Dayton (Sept. 17), The Citadel (Sept. 24) and rugged Mississippi State (Oct. 1). Other road tilts include West Texas State (Oct. 15), Southern Mississippi ( October 29) and East Carolina (Nov. 12) .

COACH FRANK JONES with Half back Larry Zunich (44) and Guard

Quarterback was a problem spot last season, the Spiders' inexperienced signal callers having 26 passes intercepted. Jones hopes Buster O'Brien, 6-1, 187-pound former Princess Anne High star from Virginia Beach who transferred from Notre Dame last season, will help solve the problem.

Although the Spider mentor says O'Brien still has a lot to learn, he completed nine of 17 passes for 152 yards and two touchdowns without an interception as the Blues edged the Whites, 12-6, in the final intrasquad scrimmage. Larry Shotwell, 6-2, 196pound senior who divided time with Jan

God is Dead?

Pigment Cell Invasion From Host Environment

Are most of us "feather bedders"? Are most of us paid for doing less work? These are two questions that were raised by Dr. Martin L. Shotzberger, Dean of University

In a most provocative article written for The Religious Herald, Dr. Robison B. James, of the Religion Department, has attempted to clarify for the layman the 'God

Reams

College, in a speech before the Richmond Chapter of the National Association of Accountan ts. His speech, "The Nature of Fringe Benefits," compares the worker of today with the worker of a century or more ago. He points out that workers today receive more real income for working fewer hours and for doing less physical work than did the worker in the 19th century. The combination of improved technology and more formal education has resulted in more pay and less work.

In looking to the future Dean Shotzberger predicts that "less and less work will be required of us, except for certain professions, more and more leisure will be available to us, more and more goods and services will be ours to use, and more and more economic capacity to enjoy this leisure and these goods and services will be at our command."

Education will become more important in the future. Only the educated will be able to achieve these economic rewards and only through education will the worker be able to prepare for his role as a consumer, citizen, and intellectual. The university, then , is the source for true knowledge on how effectively to utilize this wealth and leisure.

In a burst of enthusiasm, Dean Shotzberger concludes, "Hail to the feather-bedder -the people , men and women, who will work less physically, produce more, enjoy economic rents and fringe benefits beyond current imagination, and have ability, time and resources to enjoy more and more of life. Such a person will be individually free from autocracy, free from poverty, free from drud$,ery and above all free from ignorance

is Dead' controversy. In his article, "The Theologians of The Death of God'", Dr. James says " ... many readers may feel that too much space has already been given to this theological madness. To such readers I can only say that "turning off the television" seems to me an inadequate response.

The "God is dead" movement is important.

It is important not perhaps because of the numbers of genuinely convinced adherents -t hey seem to be few at present-but because the movement has such inadequate theology and such widespread influence. Can we ignore it then? It is never graceful to stick one's head in the sand, and where important matters are at hand it can be disastrous to do so."

Dr. James feels that it is important that we understand exactly what these men are saying in order that we may not be misled by catchwords and slogans and implies that an understanding will also reveal the weaknesses of their theological position .

The main body of the article is devoted to a summary and analysis of two of the writers in this field. It would be unfair to Dr. James to attempt to summarize his scholarly comparisons. Those interested should read the March 17, 1966 issue of The Religious Herald.

In conclusion, Dr. James states, "But over and above understanding we have wished also to criticize these theologies.

Actually our criticism is implicit already in the explanation itself. Perhaps all that needs to be added, further, is the belief that this theology is not enough. 'As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, 0 God . My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God.' "

the Skin-The Pigmentary System. The Symposium was sponsored by the University of Oregon Regional Primate Research Center.

Dr . Reams' topic was "Pigment Cell Population Pressure Within the Skin and Its Role in the Pigment Cell Invasion of Extraepidermal Tissues." He pointed out that in order to have a tissue of the body invaded by pigment cells either in normal development or in abnormal situations ( as in cancer), there must develop within the skin a population of potential pigment cells which reaches a critical level and then erupts out of its host environment. The population density is regulated, in most cases, by the chemical environment of the host tissue and by the structural density of the tissue fabric. The role of chemical irritants, traumas, and radiations-X-ray, cosmic and ultra-violet-in influencing the population of pigment cells was discussed in the light of research being conducted currently and from information gleaned from an extensive survey of both academic and clinical literature.

The pigment cells involved in the research are of general interest from the standpoint of their role in the coloration of the skin and hair , and in sun tanning . These cells normally contribute granules of pigment to surrounding cells but, under abnormal conditions, the pigment cells can divide at a rapid rate, invade tissues in which they normally do not reside and create a melanoma, a pigmented cancer. Dr. Reams is continuing his investigations at the University and also in the Department of Dermatology at the Medical College of Virginia.

The paper will be published in Vol. VIII of Advances in the Biology of Skin.

Hundley Wiley (Continued from page 3)

could not understand his decision; neither could some of the Jaspers.

In the Fall of 1915 he entered the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, where he discovered that a graduate school is even tougher than college. Here he began to burn the midnight old, pouring over Greek and Hebrew roots, and to like it. He kept in good physical condition by playing handball and tennis. His social life was not neglected for he dined often in the homes of young ladies from the neighboring churches.

As with many, young Wiley did not easily orient himself as a minister. While he had been an active member of a literary society in College, he had yet to preach a sermon and very few times had he offered a public prayer. Feeling the need of experience, he left the seminary after a year and accepted the pastorate of a country church at Deep Creek, Va. When the United States entered World War I, he left the pastorate and became a YMCA secretary to the military at Fort McPherson, Ga. Toward the conclusion of hostilities he became a chaplain in the United States Army. After the Armistice, he returned to the seminary where eventually he received both the Th.M. and Ph.D. degrees.

A volunteer for missionary work in China, he attracted the attention of a 1918 graduate of \'v'esthampton College, then a student at the Woman's Missionary Training School nearby. In 1921 he married Elizabeth Ellyson and three months later they assumed their duties at the University of Shanghai, which at that time had a thousand students and a faculty of a hundred , twenty of whom were American missionaries. When Dr. Wiley talks now about the University of Shanghai and its location on the Whangpoo River in the harbor of the city of Shanghai, one can almost smell the camphor trees, so vivid is his description. As with other missionaries returned from China, he cannot forget the land where "the sun comes up like thunder."

Beyond his scholastic duties, he coached tennis and baseball and in 1925 produced a championship baseball team. · He was a member of the administrative council of the University and of the executive committe of the Central China Mission. The esteem with which the Chinese regard him is evidence<l by the fact that today he is president of the Board of Founders of the University of Shanghai.

But war came to China and the University.

The Wileys returned to America where for three years Dr. Wiley did deputation work for the Foreign Mission Board, speaking with great impressiveness throughout the Southern Baptist Convention. Then for two years he assisted a Virginia Baptist committee in raising funds for the erection of a new library at the University of Richmond. The latter being accomplished, Dr. Wiley became professor of sociology at the Univer-

sity in 1946. In these more than twenty years he has been a successful teacher with a keen interest in his students, desiring not only to impart facts but to relate them to the life of his students. His home has been open to foreign students particularly, as well as others. He has sought to interest all in foreign service and several have responded.

Many, many Virginia Baptist churches have been fortunate in having Dr. Wiley as a supply preacher where he has been a tremendous asset to the University in his public relations with prospective students and financial backers. When not out of the city on Sunday morning, the Wileys may be found on the third pew from the front in Second Baptist Church, of which they are dedicated members.

For over forty years he has taught a course in Marriage and the Family which has required a case study of the student's own family. Dr. \'iViley has read thousands of such studies, both of Chinese and American families, and not once has he betrayed a confidence. Teaching this subject, which has to do with the very essence of life, has not been a chore but great fun despite a few heart-rending experiences. In retirement he expects to continue the study of Marriage and the Family, Anthropology and Race and Culture. He counts that week lost in which he does not read at least three new books !

And, of course, there are his chores as "yardman " under the capable supervision of Mrs. Wiley at their home on Campus Drive which is surrounded by a garden of unusual charm and beauty. Sitting on the terrace, with his fami ly and friends beside him , he talks about his adventurous yesteryears, and the even more challenging years ahead for a world that, despite its sometimes cock-eyed course, he believes well worth saving.

This writer , Hun's classmate and friend since our days in college and seminary, remembers particularly a late afternoon chat when the summer sun was casting long shadows of the dogwood and maple trees on the terrace. "From childhood," he said, "I acquired an interest in the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God but

[ 13]

my first opportunity to practice it completely came in a Chinese college, the University of Shanghai. There we had a completely integrated faculty of one hundred teachers, all living together in Faculty Row. We had a complete ly integrated playground for the faculty children. And now after more than forty years these children and teachers write to each other from behind the Bamboo Curtain. In the student body were Koreans , Japanese and Chinese. This concept I have taught in my classes from that day to this."

In the Richmond community his favorite project has been the Richmond Urban League. Speakers from various nationalities and minority groups have been welcomed lechuers in his classrooms. This practice he picked up from two of his old teachers, Robert E. Park of the University of Chicago. and Howard W. Odum of the University of North Carolina. A number of his sh1dents are now working in foreign lands in careers that were inspired by his challenging remarks in the classroom.

On this summer afternoon, Dr. Wiley had just finished his third book of the week (Bread and Wine, I, Claudius, and Disraeli) and was plowing deeply into a fourth. " If you want to read a good book on China now," he said, "get Edgar's Snow's Over the River."

Although the early morning chimes in the tower of Boatwright Memorial Library are no longer a summons to the classroom, Dr. Wiley can be expected to make almost daily treks to the library and to the offices of his friends of many years. One of these friends , Dr. Edward Wadsworth Gregory Jr ., professor of sociology and, since 1946, Dr. Wiley's colleague in the department , perhaps sums up best his contribution to the University of Richmond: "Enriched by his travels and experiences in Yarious parts of the world, he encouraged and stimulated students to apply basic principles of sociology to their personal lives and to participation in community affairs.

Many a former student testifies that his interest in social problems and their solution was aroused in Dr. Wiley's classes.

He made learning an exciting, vital experience, rather than learning merely for academic credit!"

A Summary (Continued from page 4)

Educational

Program

The establishment of the School of Business Administration in 1949, the formation of 1:Jniversity College in 1962, and the creation of the Junior College in 1964 have constituted the most significant expansion ?f the University's educational program durmg the two decades. The addition of the Army ROTC program in 1951 was also of 11;ajoreducational importance. The total curnculum of the University has been enlarged and ~tr~~gthened, with most departments and d1v1s10nsstronger than ever before. Five new degrees have been offered: Bachelor of Science in Music Education, Bachelor of Science in Teaching, Bachelor of Commerce, Master of Commerce, and Master of Humanities, the last three in University College.

An honors program was introduced in 1960, and _the mu~ic facilities were improved by ~he mstallat10n of a Beckerath pipe organ m Cannon Memorial Chapel in 1961. The University Computer Center, established in 1_964,is serving many departments and vanous needs in the University. During recent years facilities and equipment for audiovisual instructional purposes have · been greatly increased.

During this · period the University extended its instructional program beyond the campus. In 1951 the School of Christian Education was organized to offer courses in Bib(e and religions throughout Virginia, and dunng fifteen years 6,807 persons in 51 cities and towns have been enrolled in the program. The University's first television course was offered in 1960, and now courses are telecast in five Virginia cities. In the summer of 1963 a Summer School Abroad program was organized and has continued successfully. The Business School's Executive Development Program for business executives has been in operation for twelve years, and the Management Center of Uni versity College was created in 1963. The Virginia Institute for Scientific Research moved to its new building on the University campus in 1962. Throughout the period the University Center in Virginia has demonstrated the benefits to be achieved through cooperation among educational institutions.

Physical Facilities

Approximately 50 acres have been added to the University campus during the two decades, bringing it to a total of 350 acres.

Twelve major buildings and fifteen minor buildings have been constructed, and other physical improvements made, at a total cost of $6,978,351, as follows: South Court dormitory, Court Dining Hall , Crenshaw Swimming Pool, and an enlarged kitchen at Westhampton College; five temporary wood en dormitories and a classroom-office build-

ing on the Richmond College campus; six bungalows on the campus for faculty; the Student Center for men; a quonset hut for speech and drama and a similar building for the musical groups; remodeling the power plant; Robins Field for men; Law School Building; a warehouse; Boatwright Memorial Library; utility tunnels; Wood Memorial Hall; Robins Memorial Hall; Business School Building; Dennis Memorial Hall; Lombardy Building; new dining hall and enlarged kitchen for men; Freeman Memorial Hall. Twenty faculty homes have been constructed on or added to the campus during the twenty years.

Finances

The cost value of the University's grounds, buildings, and equipment has increased from $2,706,606 in 1946 to $10,258,352 this year. The 1946 endowment of $2,832,275 has increased to $10,095,166 of endowment and trust funds, and the total assets of the University have risen from $7,188,180 to $22,531,404 in the two decades. The annual operating budget has increased from $648, 729 to $4,063,427 this year. Much of this increase, of course, can be attributed to the inflation of prices during the period.

In 1947 the University of Richmond Alumni Fund was inaugurated, and the Alumni Bequest Program was launched in 1960. The very successful Progress Fund Campaign for $1,500,000 was conducted in 1964-65.

Other Developments

Among other significant events and developments during the two decades have been the establishment of the fraternity lodge policy and the subsequent construction of twelve lodges, the A. D. Williams bequest of $2,700,000 and the consequent expansion of the scholarship program, the formation of the Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges, the L. U. Noland bequest of $225,000 toward the erection of a Business School building, the celebration in 1955 of the 125th Anniversary of the founding of the University, the creation of the Parents Organization, the celebration of Westhampton College's Fiftieth Anniversary in 1964, the Self-Study Report in 1964-65, and, the accreditation of the School of Business Administration in 1965. The Institute for Business and Community Development was formed this year as a division of University College .

Conclusion

The steady growth and encouraging progress during the last twenty years provide a sound basis on which to move forward to new accomplishments. Despite the serious problems facing all private institutions of higher learning, a bright and secure future is assured for the University of Richmond .

With its fortunate location, with the many evidences of progress and growing strength, with the continued loyal support of its alumni and friends, and with the devoted efforts

[ 14]

of its faculty, administrative officials, and trustees, the University can look with confidence to a future of rich service to its students, its constituencies, and its community.

closed minds. One had to listen attentively to a man of such immense mental capacity.

Many of his students hold positions of national prominence in industry, in banking, in education and in religious life. Reflected glory often is looked upon as ostentatious but if ever a man deserves to take glory in his own produced fruits, Herman Pollard Thomas does. I trust that at this moment names and faces of his students are passing through his mind and he is saying to himself there are some great ones ! A banker is he!

An industrialist is he! A teacher is he! A minister is he! A public servant is he! Until almost literally all the world 's disciplines are covered. If he begins this process it will take a long time and if he does so his heart will burst with pride. As these faces are vicarously conju red, and names remembered, each one, I know, speaks to him a word of gratitude .

Herman Thomas is noted for his classroom humor, most of it at the expense of the gracious Mary Stokes Thomas. She is as patient with him as the three-times-around Money and Banking students .

Everyone who knows him, loves, admires and respects him . Many honors have been bestowed upon him. His social fraternity (Sigma Alpha Epsilon) has paid him tribute as has Alpha Kappa Psi. In 1957 the Web was dedicated to him. The Economics Society is honored by bearing his name. Last fall, under the leadership of Dr. George Jennings, the Herman P. Thomas Scholarship was established. This society and scholarship assures for the future our consciousness of his having been here . All of these actions speak to Herman Thomas of our deep and profound feeling for him. Herman Thomas a man of gentleness, of kindness, of compassion. A man who loves God and loves man. Herman Thomas beloved teacher, serves God by serving man through Christian Higher Education . If his great character were subject to being captured in a phrase it may be Herman Pollard Thomas, Great and Inspiring Teacher and Exemplar of the Christian Faith.

1899Judge Edwin 0. Lewis of Narberth, Pa., represented the University of Richmond at the inauguration of Dr. George D. Culler as president of Philadelphia College of Art on May 2.

1907Senator A. Willis Robertson, who returned to the campus for Alumni Day in May, has been appointed by Vice President Hubert Humphrey to serve on the board of visitors of the U. S. Military Academy at West Point, N. Y. He has received two recent honors. The National Right to Work Committee cited him for his part in the fight to prevent repeal of "right-towork" laws; and the Sons of the American Revolution presented to him a gold medal for good citizenship .

1913John J. Wicker, Jr., has been named honorary vice chairman of the American Legion's 50th anniversary committee. The Legion plans to celebrate the anniversary in March of 1968 with commemorative activities that will affect 16,000 posts and 2.6 million members.

Dr. John W. Elliott of West Winfield, N. Y., has resumed the pastorate of the Millers Mills Community Baptist Church, after recovering from a heart attack.

1914Rev. E. Norfleet and Mrs. Gardner of Henderson, N. C., have completed a two-month trip around the world, spending a month with their daughter in Thailand along the way. They visited Rome, Beirut, Jordan, Hong Kong, Japan and Honolulu.

Cabell Phillips Analyzes Truman's Years In Office Harry S. Truman was all but unknown when he took the Presidential oath in the spring of 1945. Yet seven and three guarter years later, writes Cabell Phillips, '26 , in The Truman Presidency (published by Macmillan May 31) , ''he had put an indelible imprint of greatness on both the Presidency and the history of his time.

Cabell Phillips is a veteran reporter of 20 years' experience with The New York Times Washington bureau. His new book chronicles and analyzes President Truman 's growth and development from the appar ently ordinary "haberdasher from St. Louis" into an extraordinary chief executive who "left the American Presidency a stronger, more effective instrument for human governance."

The late Speaker Sam Rayburn, one of Truman's oldest and staunchest friends, is credited with saying Truman was "right on all the big things, wrong on most of the little ones." Guided by uncomplicated moral precepts, Truman demonstrated a strong sense of duty and the courage to fight for his beliefs, the ability to weigh the pros and cons of a situation, make a decision and then act on it. He was capable of sound judgment and a tempered, conscientious approach to the office of the Presidency.

The other side of the Truman character was given to snap judgments , an acrobatic ability to wind up with his foot in his mouth and a blind, and thus sometimes misplaced, faith in the loyalty and honesty of the people around him.

Through the Potsdam Conference, the awesome decision to drop the atom bomb, the beginning of the Korean conflict and subseguent insubordination of MacArthur, the dark days of the McCarthy power play, Truman dug in with characteristic rocklike determination and hung on.

But Truman did more than endure. With at least three achievements- the Marshall Plan, NATO, and the Korean intervention - he established his claim to rank as one

of the "great " Presidents in American history. Under Truman's guidance the United States established her role in the post-war world and policies were set, such as the containment of Communist nations, that have been followed by every President after him.

Marguis Childs, noted political affairs columnist, commented on The Truman Presidency: "Cabell Phillips has written the first really trenchant and valid book about the Truman presidency. His book puts in clear perspective both the Truman achievements and the Truman faults therebv serving as an antidote to much of the 'muddy writing about this important period in our post-war development."

During his long tenure as a reporter in Washington, Mr. Phillips was intimately acquainted with many of the key people of the period. He has had access to files of correspondence, memoranda , reports and diaries- and from his vantage point as a trusted reporter has been able to assess the behind-the-scenes realities and maneuvering of the Truman administration.

Betty Ann Allen Doub Elected President of Alumnae Association

Professors Address Alumnae College

It was a warm, June morning - the kind that Westhampton students always take advant age of to sit around on the campus enjoying the sun , or to stroll through the pine trees and over the rolling hills.

In a world in which society may be producing increasingly inferior persons , the human race may have to be genetically controlled, a biologist told Westhampton College alumnae who filled the classroom for Alumni College on June 3.

Dr . Nolan Rice, professor of biology at the University of Richmond, was one of four faculty members who addressed the more than 100 alumnae . In his lecture he asserted that a curb on the population of the world will be a necessity of the future and improvement of the human race by genetic control "may be a part of it."

He said that people of the highest genetic endowment tend to have fewer children than others while those of relatively low genetic endowment generally have larger families.

Although medicine is able to control some conditions of faulty genetic origin ( such as diabetes), persons in this category continue to procreate and transmit these defective genes.

One method of heredity control would be by "parental selection, " he said, in which artificial insemination or the mating of genetically superior persons would be used. He added that this method would "bring up tremendous social, religious , and political problems."

Dr . Rice's lecture followed that of Miss Betty Jean Seymour, director of religious activities for women. In the afternoon session , the alumn ae heard Dr. Marjorie Riven-

'

This mornin g was June 4- Alumnae Day -- and the alumn ae returning to Alma Mater were filled with memories as they gathered in Keller Hall to begin the day's activities .

burg, professor of Latin at Westhampton , and Jack Welsh, instructor in drama at Uni versity College.

Miss Seymour, in her lecture on "Oops!

There Goes Another Wineskin," likened the traditional Christianity facing the new religious theories to the wineskin referred to by Jesus into which new wine cannot be poured.

In discussing the "God is dead " theory , she covered three points : ( 1) Christianity has been mistaken in attributing transcendency to God, (2) religious experience is learned through the culture of society, and ( 3) the ambiguity of the meaning of the word "God " has destroyed all meaning.

"God is not dead, but we must change our concepts of what God is," she said.

"We should bury the God substitutes lest the objects of our worship be our idols rather than the reality of the Jiving God. " She said that many churches are attempting to thrust themselves into the life of the world without God orientation.

After a luncheon in Keller Hall tea room, Dr. Rivenburg began the first afternoon session with her lecture on "Pray · For A Brave Heart, " a quotation from Juvenal's Tenth Satire . She explained that Juvenal, when asked what one could pray for in life , replied that one should "pray for a brave heart that doesn't fear death and Jet the gods determine what will help us."

1919 Secretary-pro-tern MRS. WALTER H. CARTER (Lillian Robertson) Amherst, Virginia Recently I received a card from Juliette Brown Carpenter asking that I secure some news from the class of 1919 and get it to the Alumnae Bulletin office right away. Since I do not have sufficient time to gather this news from you I shall share a dream with you in this space.

This dream came to me recently and was so ".ivid ~ hastened to reach for pad and pencil to JOt down the facts I might forget in the rush of the next day.

In the dream I was transported in time by a gentle knock on the door of Westhampton room number 226 which I shared in my freshman year with Esther Jenkins. I opened the door and "Punkin" Gardner whose room was just down the hall beckoned us to come with h~r t<? Morning Watch. We hastily dressed (Ill middy blouse and skirt) and followed her to one of the small parlors near the Blue Room and were introduced to a short period of devotions just before the bell rang and the huge doors of the dining hall were thrown open for breakfast.

A small book of daily devotions was used for a brief verse. and sentence or silent prayer, and we passed rnto the cathedral-like dining room at the end of the hall, prepared for the day.

In _t?is dre'.'-m, thoughts and values and personalities which were connected with my student days passed before me in rapid succession.

It was then that I purposed in my heart to find some way in which I could show apprecitation for the spiritual values given us in the early years at Westhampton when our college was young. . Morning_ Watch was a small and ever changrng exp~rience. I was not there every day but certarn ones were. Perhaps there were other small groups meeting elsewhere, you will know other leaders if there were. In our group we took turns as leader and this gave us strength.

Each year removed some faces and others were introduced.

Time came when our beloved campus was used as a veteran's hospital during ~orl~ War I and we were housed and taught Ill Rte?mond. Coll_ege wa~ a tangled jungle ~hen with several girls sharing one room either Ill St. Lukes Hospital building or a residence on Monument Avenue. We survived the period of the "flu," and were returned to our campus after _November 11, 1918 Armistice year, and Mornrng Watch was revived.

What Emily Garner had started now developed new leaders. I wish to pay tribute to three daughters of Louisville Seminary professors and to three daughters of well known Baptist ministers of the time who figured in my dream, Ruth Carver, Eleanor Robertson and Kathryn (Kina) McGlothlin who was my r~ommat": three years. Also Mississippi, Georgia and Florida sent us Frances Shipman, Hester Tichenor and later, Mary Bell Tribble. All of these appeared in my dream of those years so long ago.

Very soon now, in 1969 the class of 1919 will gather for its fiftieth reunion. Before that time as you must already have done will vou weigh the values in the balance a~d de~ide which have been of greatest worth in your life?

I think you will agree with me that Westhampton's spiritual influence is her greatest gift to her daughters now, fifty years later.

Perhaps, even now, other small worship groups meet when someone thinks to knock softly on the door of some other girl and invites her to Morning Watch.

I always see old Westhampton friends at State DAR Conferences. This year, Lillian Robertson Carter, Regent of her Amherst chapter _was there . I am now State DAR Magazine chairman, and was thrilled that Virginia won the grand prize i~ the nation for obtaining the most new magazrne subscriptions per capita.

How proud I am of my chapter chairmen all over the state.

I've just spent Mother's Day at mv home.

'Twas wonderful to sit under the p1ne tree with sons Dick and Tom and Sara and all the Farley connections.

Thomas Kent Adams, Jr., a bouncing baby boy of almost nine pounds, arrived May 18 to Tom and Sara Adams. Mother and baby are doing fine; the father and grandmother Julia, as well as could be expected. ' The biggest news among our members is that our beloved Mary Fugate, our sophomore president and student government president in our senior year, is now acting president of Averett College. She has served Averett since 1927 and has been dean of the college for some years. We are very, very proud of her.

I can't tell news of you if you don't tell me news of you. And please contribute to the Alumnae Fund so I can tell that too. Please!

Bev Bates, Mary Anne Guy Franklin, Ellen Barnard Wallinger, and I had lunch with Sue Cook McClure Jones. She was in Richmond following the illness and death of her mother.

The next day after I had lunch with Sue Cook and the others, I became ill with the mumps. I hope I did not contaminate any of them.

Sue Cook won a trip to Florida in a contest sponsored by a Los Angeles newspaper ; her article dealt with real estate as the best family investment. Her husband is working on the Apollo Moon Project.

Ellen Barnard Wallinger was excited about a trip that she and Melvin were planing to England and the continent.

A recent news story described honor paid

by VPI to Jackie Johnston Gilmore's father, Mr . J. Ambler Johnston, who, in my opinion, is one of Richmond's most public spirited citizens.

Helen Falls has been promoted to a full professorship at the Baptist Seminary in New Orleans. Also, it is interesting to note that she is the first woman in a School of Theology of the six Southern Baptist Seminaries to achieve this status. Quoting from her letter: "I only hope that I may have pioneered in such a way that others may not have to wait so long for this recognition." Helen has been doing the work of a full professor for many years. Congratulations to you, Helen.

We are thinking of another one of our college "deans" and sending our best wishes as she sails for India this summer on a teaching mission-Mary Ellen Stephenson.

A newsy letter came from Judith Hodges Schulte. She has been vice-president of the P.T.A. All-City Council of Mishawaka, Indiana, and was therefore program chairman of a city-wide Founders Day, which sounded most exciting.

The Schulte's oldest daughter, Katherine, graduating from the University of Indiana this June, has a job this summer at Wheelabrator's licensee in Schaffhausen, Germany. She will also tutor her hostess in English. Her trip flight is by University-chartered plane and the group will do some traveling.

We are proud of Helen Denoon Hopson 's

son, William S. Hopson, who has received an award in the Raven Society, honorary or ganization at the University of Virginia . He was elected president of the Society. Among his activities are the positions as editor of the student newspaper and president of Pi Delta Epsilon honorary journalism fraternity .

I'm glad that she and Ken had a nice spring vacation trip to Miami which she says they both needed badly. She has certainly been faithful sending the news in and I will be happy to do it if you will just write me a few lines once in a while.

in town for the day from Kilmarnock and told Gene that she and Mandley were really looking forward to the summer months for they had just purchased a new 26 foot boat.

It is so good to receive a letter from Josephine Martens for she always has such interesting news to report. She had heard from Marjorie Canada . In 1963 and 1964, Marjorie spent seven months in Lisbon, Portugal where she was invited to take a position as advisor to the occupational therapy school and to the Portuguese Occupational Therapy Association.

Her job was to help the school and association to meet the criteria for acceptance in the World Federation of Occupational Therapists. They accomplished this, but over and above the professional satisfactions she found Portugal a most attractive country and Lisbon a charming city. At present, Marjorie is working at the Metropolitan State Hospital in Waltham, Massachusetts, where they have a federal grant to improve rehabilitation services to long term patients. In Marjorie's "spare" time she does silk screen printing and has exhibited and sold some of her work. From Josephine herself, we find out that she brailled 125 Easter cards for the blind ladies from Jersey . What a good deed that was, Josephine!

The class joins me in extending our sympathy to Maryanne Beck Duty in the passing of her mother in March.

My thanks to all of the group leaders in getting your information to me in Florida and especially Libby Givens Pierce who comtacted the Richmond girls for me. Let your group leader know about your summer vacations so you will find yourself in print next time!

(Elizabeth Eanes) McKenney, Virginia First of all, I want to thank each of you who has made my job as secretary so easy these past five years. My special thanks also to the group leaders-Paula Abernathy Kelton, Frances Arrighi Tonacci, Joan Dalve Heizer, Jane Ellis Babb, Elizabeth Gill White, Irene Groves Howland, Jean Lowe Bradley, Jane Lawson Willis, Lea Thompson Osburn, and Nance Anderson Hall.

Suzanne Holt Bagle y writes that she is a school girl after 19 years. In the fall she took Art for Teachers and is now taking Elementary Science Concepts. She has also substituted in the sixth grade in Kenbridge.

Betty Tredway Blake is also doing substitute teaching and has taken a science course this winter. I enjoyed a nice visit with Betty recently.

News from Eleanor Wright Weston finds that Billy is now stationed in Vietnam. He was recently promoted to Lieutenant Colonel.

Eleanor and the girls are living in Hampton.

I am sorry that this news letter is so short but we will have to catch up on all the news at the reunion. See you then .

Thelma Childers Snider attended the First Texas Governor's Conference on Libraries in March and has organized a Regional Library Council. They have secured funds to have a library survey made of a seven county area with a view toward organizing a regional

[ 29]

library. She writes that it is very interesting work and greatly needed in her area (Houston).

Scott and I had a nice trip to Georgetown, South Carolina in April to see his sister and her family. We broke down and took one of our children and all had a grand time visiting Archibald Rutledge, Charleston and Pawleys Island .

John, Kitty Little Dupuy Alfriend and children visited in Mecklenburg County in May during the celebration of the Bicentennial at St. John's Church in Chase City. Two of their daughters visited two of ours and enjoyed renewing acquaintances.

( Gerrie Kantner) 8309 Vernelle Lane Richmond, Va. 23229 Two letters arrived too late for the last newsletter and, with deepest apologies to Betty Jane Potter, I must confess that I misplaced hers. She had enclosed Lou Hudgins McNally's new address as well as news of her family .

Bett y O'Bannon Culp forwarded a letter from Mary Kathryn Manuel Clark. It reads as follows: "Things are about the same here .

Ed and I keep busy with the church activities.

I still enjoy my two choirs. I see Jane Cather, the accompa nist , each week at rehearsals and then on Sunday, also. I am still working with music in our regular kindergarten and also our class for retarded children. This has been a real joy to pioneer in this area. It is a small group giving kindergarten type training to retarded children. Our first year we had nine enrolled, this year we have five. I still have my students in remedial reading in the afternoons.

"Have picked up a couple of new hobbies the past year. Am now finishing knitting my sixth sweater within the year. And also I have taken a class in ceramics.

"Was in Richmond several weeks ago at· tending a Conference at the First Baptist Church. I was in the same group with Emily Menefee Johnston '55 and her husband who is a pediatrician in Richmond . Also Mary Lib Wrenn stayed at the same hotel as we did

and we had breakfast with her each morning.

She looked grand and loves her work at William and Mary."

After getting three children to the age where they can dress themselves and make their beds, I decided it was time to renew my acquaintance with school. The State Board of Education is giving me free rein in choice of subjects. (I need six hours to maintain my teacher's certification). So I chose Greek and Greek Archeology, looking ahead to the time when I can pursue my M.A. The classics department at the University is much enlarged and plans to set up a graduate program. My enthusiasm carries me away at times but I am fortunate to have a husband to pull me back to earth and remind me that I have a family. When I talk about going on a "dig," he tells me that he will fix up the sandbox in the backyard! And so I go about my housework with my nose in books about Schliemann and Troy. Oh well, after Lassie and Mr. Ed, etc. anything would be inspiring.

Carolyn Carter Birdsong and Wilton announce the birth of their first daughter and second child, Ann Carter Birdsong, on May 10, 1966. Their son, Bill, is now 8 years old, quite helpful and very protective of his little sister. The Birdsongs reside at 9504 Ridgefield Road in Richmond.

Louise White McConnell was on WTVR television in May on the Dandy Doodle show.

She brought a runner of Siamese kittens and explained about the care of kittens to children who were prospective owners of same.

I have now completed three years as ·your secretary and find that in many cases, my records and those of the alumnae office differ .

And so I am taking a census. All of you who receive this issue of the Bulletin, please send me a postcard with your address, number of children and ages, employment or studies.

If you do it by return mail there is less chance of your forgetting. Thank you for your cooperation over the past three years. We missed only one deadline and had only one or two brief letters. This is to your credit since you make the news.

If any of you come to Richmond this summer, call me at 282-0575 and we'll chat. Happy vacation everyone.

Jean Crittenden Kauffman and her family will be moving to Lexington, Kentucky in August where Myron will have the job of patient directing the Kidney Transplantation and research work at the University of Kenteaching tucky Medical Center, as well as of at the hospital and doing private practice.

Jean was especially anxious to know of any W.C. girls who might be there.

Our sympathy is extended to Ann Cohen Schiff whose younger brother died on April 1st after a short illness.

Let's all work on having more news next issue.

Miss Helen Monsell, lecturer in children's literature, will lead a daily workshop session on writing for children at a writers conference this summer at the Ridgecrest Baptist Assembly.

The conference will be held June 9 to 16 at Ridgecrest, N. C. There will be workshop sessions on writing fiction, writing magazine articles, writing poetry, drama, and writing curriculum materials.

(Ann Peery) 4106 Kensington Ave. Richmond, Va. The class of '56 had a wonderful ten-year reunion on June 3 and 4. The biggest reason it was such a success was the grand attendance we had at all the even ts.

On Friday night, June 3, we had a buffet supper at Anne Jennings Vaughan's home, with the Richmond girls bringing the food. From Richmond we had Gwen Haley Gregory, Anne Stuart Hartz Hill, Rose Dranchak Martin, Helen Melton Lukhard, Pat Eanes Jackson, Shirlee Garrett Maxson, Joyce Still Gibson, Susan Quinn Wagner, Ann Peery Frederick, Hart, Janet Pat Ballard Larus, Charlotte Knobel Jones, Macon Moring Horton, Edna Wagstaff Warnke, Doris Huffman Moore, and Winkey Gray Stettinius.

McElroy Smith and Doris Secretaries-Pat Huffman Moore.

We read letters from those who could not attend, and passed around pictures Mrs. Boatwright had sent, taken during our college days .

We discussed the Martha Boatwright Rice Memorial Fund, which had a total of $135 to date. We voted to let this fund grow until the Fine Arts Building is completed, and to purchase a work of art at that time. Ann Frederick will be in charge of this. We had $15 left from our reunion which we will add to the fund for a total of $150. If you send in your contribution to Mrs. Booker's office for the Alumnae Fund marked for the Rice Memorial, you still get credit for contributing to the regular Alumnae Fund. If we add to the Memorial Fund all next year, we will be able to donate a worthwhile art work at Westhampton from our class.

On Saturday, June 4, at the Westhampton luncheon we had 20 classmates present. Lillian Stephenson Stroud (Suffolk), Carolyn Baker (Richmond), Barbara Pratt Willis (Fredericksburg), Jean Burroughs Mathews (Front Royal), and Bobbie Jenkins Keville (Williamsburg), Betty Brinkley Hayward (Media, Pa.) joined us for that occasion.

On Saturday night a party was held at Ann Peery Frederick's home. Forty-seven, including husbands, attended. Margie Kantner Snader and George arrived in time for this party, coming from Collegeville, Pa. A total of thirty-nine classmates came to at least one of our get-togethers, which we thought was a wonderful percentage. We hope to see the rest of you on the fifteenth!

Jean has also sung in Gilbert and Sullivan operettas; with a string quartet; as well as for several churches .

Thelma Flynn Helm had planned to come for the reunion, but had to cancel her plans as Marshall was transferred from Atlanta to Greensboro, N. C., and they will move in July.

Thelma and Marshall were in New York in April for a business trip, and met up with Ann and Phil Frederick at a performance of "Funny Girl," which was quite a surprise! Ann and Phil had five wonderful days in New York without the children, visiting art museums and seeing musicals.

They have just bought about six acres of land in Martinsville, and plan to start a new home next year. Eliza writes that she stays "well occupied with the children, Charity League, Book Club, Garden Club, and the usual women's activities. " Eliza called the day after the reunion to catch up on the news. She had tried to call during the Saturday night party, but couldn't get a line . She was thrilled to hear what a good time we all had.

Leta May Tucker Hodge (Mrs. Edward), 1321 Pollock Rd., Mexico, Missouri, sent a special delivery in time for the reunion . To quote from her interesting letter: "Ed is a lawyer with a firm here in Mexico, and it looks like we are here to stay, which suits me fine for I am becoming quite fond of Missouri. We have just bought a new home, although it is an older house , and will be moving by the first of August . This has us all excited and the summer pretty well taken up with moving, getting settled. Susan Randolph is four years old, just out of nursery school and keenly interested in everything. Our sec-

Kinter has become a Yankee! John began in Feb. to establish an Angus cattle farm at Kent Hollow Farms, New Preston, Connecticut.

To top that, Katherine Miller Kinter put in her appearance on March 28. Betsy is 4, Robbie, 2½. Judy "loves Vermont" (?!). If you're touring New England this fall look them up!

Dee Austin Alevizatos has moved to 1877-B Glick Place, Fort Detrick, Md., 21701, where she and Ted "are enjoying army life. " Dr. Ted has finished his residency and is serving two years with the army. Christen will celebrate his 3rd birthday, and Max his 1st, in June .

They are big husky boys and look older than they really are.

Shirley Gordon Highfill and Jerry have happy news. They are adopting a baby, Anne Elizabeth, who was born January 30. She has red hair and blue eyes and has completely taken over their household since moving in March 18.

Sue Sybert Ritter and Fred proudly announce the arrival of Lynne Bartlett on March 9.

And Nancy Kipps Hughey and Ray finally decided on a nam e for their daughter, also born March 9-Jo Anne. "She's a good baby and Mike, 4, spends a lot of time talking to her and entertaining her in various ways."

Ray bought a tractor in the spring to "help with the task of mowing our 5-acres, and spent a couple months after Christmas building a partition between our kit chen and dining room.

The whole wall is one big china closet on the dining room side." Kippy resigned as WMU president but Ray, who is chairman of the Board of Deacons, keeps them busy with church work. They are watching the construction of their new church building.

Cary Hancock Gilmer's progress rep ort was brief-"house going fine."

Janice Dowdy Briggs and Ed's new tri-level was near completion in May. Ed loves being night police reporter for the Times-Dispatch, and works in educational TV on Fridays.

Jackie Connell Atkinson is supervising the "bric k work " and impatiently hoping to be moved into their new house by the middle of June. Missy is 3½ and Mark, who is a "terrible tease, " and very good-natured, will be 2 on August 12. The skin graft from Mark 's thigh to his burned hand ''took" but the stubborn keloid scars are regenerating themselves

(growing back). The surgeon says to wait until he's older before any more surgery. Jackie says Mark doesn't seem to mind anything, bee stings included. She and Charley came to W.C. May Day "for my Mother's Day gift."

Mary Beth Stiff Jordan and Bob's "baby" (who'll be a year old in October) is "the fourth Gospel," Matthew! I hear that the 4 boys are "adorable-dark, and really handsome," looking very much like Mary Beth.

Anita Knipling Scott and Fred took their happy family to the Knipling's cabin in the Shenandoah Valley for their Easter vacation and planned to go back for Memorial Day. "The children love to 'rough it' and they always have such a good time that it makes the 7-hour drive in a very cramped car seem really worthwhile. There 's no telephone and no TV and nothing tastes quite so good as fresh fish for breakfast!" Anita says she's resigned from everything except Mortar Board (Section Director) and an occasional evening of bridge and is infinitely more relaxed. (If we use the term loosely maybe it will describe a mother of 4 pre-schoolers!) In March Anita made a M.B. Chapter visit to U. of Del. and "Fred was in complete charge of the children, etc. " Imagine finding "all the dirty clothes washed, all the dishes done and not a dirty diaper in the house" after a long weekend away! She says Fred ''really is a tremendous help to me ."

Carol Berlin Kerpelman 's card says that Jenny, 4½, and David, l½, are busy educating her in the distinct differences between boys and girls.

Sylvia Olney 's little sister Amy "rules the roost" at their house, while her brothers are away in college. Margaret Spencer Hernandez says, 'T m getting old, I guess! When I last saw them the youngest was in grammar school."

Margaret and Jess got snowbound this winter when a blizzard sneaked up on them while they were at a bridge party. " I spent the night on the sofa of our friends' living room," but Jess had to hike about a mile home through the snowdrifts on foot. By the time the snow plow cleared the road and Margaret got home the following evening " Jess and the children had really had one big picnic all day long! " Sounds like we 're developiing a strong breed of fathers! Beth, nearly 3, sleeps with a book and pretends she's reading in bed, and Brian,

A letter from Laverne Watson Edwards arrived too late for the last Bulletin, but disclosed the arrival of Rebecca Brooks Edwards, on Feb. 26, "with no consideration for the duty officer at the dispensary, ruining his Saturday by refusing the 45-mile trip to the Frankfurt hospital."

Margaret Tabor Small's family enjoyed visiting with Mike's parents in Columbus, Ohio, in April, after Mike had spent a week in El Paso, Texas, on active duty. They took advantage of the warm spring weather by paint ing the interior of their house, while Tracey and Mike played outside.

Margaret Rutherford Compton and Delano had two nice trips-one to a lumberman's convention in Cincinnati, and also to the Masters Golf Tournament in Augusta, Georgia.

Peggy Dulin Crews and Merrill spent 4 days in Miami in May in a hotel "right on the beach" during a hospital association convention. Peg is busy with beginner 's sewing, and Merrill is coaching little league baseball. Peg said Martha Jordan Chukinas, Warren, and the children get to Warren's home rather frequently, according to the Culpeper newspaper.

Not a word of news came from the Danville area this time!

I did get an exuberant note of March 17 from Eileen Cordle, whose school newspaper , The Chatterbox, won Medalist Rating (the highest!) from Columbia Scholastic Pres s Assn., "the first rating of the year and the most important one . Now we can breathe again before we start to worry about next year.

We've been celebrating all day. " Bev Brown Floyd's husband, J.P., has been substituting at Florida A. & M . as professor of philosophy and religion. Alison is 2½, Paul will be a year old Oct. 3rd.

Margaret Griffin Thompson has been teaching since the first of April, "and have I been busy! I signed up to substitute and in less than a week they had me full time in a second grade. The base schools are losing many teachers ( dependent wives) because their husbands are getting orders." She stuck a note on at the bottom of her letter-"got my hands full this weekend-keeping 5 kids."

Bev Wine Bowers says, "I'm enjoying my work and also a class I'm taking at East Tenn.

State U. Bristol has been beautiful this spring."

Sue Riley Lambiotte's letter was a " commercial." W. C. Peninsula Chapter is raising money by selling "double decks of playing cards with 'Westhampton College' printed on them in gold"-one red deck, one blue, very pretty, costing $4.50 for the set. "I'd be most happy to . . . mail them to anyone who sends me a check. " (214 Piez Ave., Newport News, 23601) Julia Jett Shepherd spent two weeks in Roanoke while Bob was at camp, and both the children came down with the measles at Grandma's. Julia got to see Cary Hancock Gilmer, and ran into Nancy McCullock Pick ands, '60, in M.&R. Tea Room. Nancy 's hus band teaches at V.P.I. and their little boy will be a year old this summer.

The W. C. Richmond Club had a lovely spring luncheon with 120-or-so people attend ing including Elizabeth Ramos Dunkum, Jean Martin Wyndham, Marguerite Dorsey Fussell, Bev Eubank Evans, Ruth Adkins Hill, and Eleanor Dickson Campbell.

Elizabeth 's term as president of the Richmond Club is over and Jean Hudgins Frederick, ' 58, succeeds her, but Elizabeth will be a member -at-large of the National Board .

She is busy sewing clothes for David, and she and Ellis went with her mom and dad to N. Y . for a few days, taking in the opening game at Yankee Stadium.

Elizabeth, Bev, Bonnie Lewis Haynie, B. B. Harvey Strum, and another friend, plus husbands, are spending the 4th of July weekend near Staunton at Ingleside, a "r esort motel"

with a beautiful golf course. The girls are planning to go "antique-ing" while the men play golf. The progeny will stay behind with babysitters.

B.B.'s husband, Sherwood, has passed the real estate exam and became associated with Slater & Vaughan in June. . Eleanor Dickson Campbell's picture has been in the paper several times lately as one of the Ashland Junior Woman's Club team which has been successful on a local quiz sh~w.

Mary Trew Bibblecomb Lindquist and Jerry are packing for a trip to Texas this summer to visit Jerry's parents, who recently moved to Texas. ''Our" Texans, Barbara Dulin Polis Charlie, and Chuck, made another trip to "Si~ Flags Over Texas" in May during a week's leave.

It is our pleasure to announce the marriage of Mary Lee Fountain to Don Ward on November 25, 1965. . Bec~y Webb Moran came by recently-first ttme smce July '61 (isn't that disgraceful!)and filled me in on all the trials and tribulations of getting a dishwasher. Everything happens to Becky, just everything!

That's about it. I stay awfully busy, and try frantically to keep organized. (That's to allow me plenty of time to fool around!)

I wa~ too preoccupied luxuriating in the warm sprmg weather to phone all the local girls for news this time, but I have no real objection to your calling me, you know!

Our sympathy is extended to Margaret Ruth erford Compton whose father passed away January 30, three hours after a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.

Next deadline is labor Day weekend.

1960 Secretary ROBERT H. LEMMON (Linda Ann Morgan) 651 Andrews Road Aberdeen, Maryland MRS.

Many of my secretaries are a little discouraged by a lack of response from some of their girls. If you are guilty of neglecting to return that stamped post card listing your latest accomplishments, please try not to forget the next time! It's very disheartening to the secretaries who spend their time and effort to get your news in print . Thanks to those who did remember!

Congratulations to Sandra Hood Repass and her husband on the birth of a daughter, Annabelle Ruth, on February 14. This is one Valentine's Day the Repasses will long remember.

Louise Deaton Meyers writes that she visited her parents in Virginia this summer while husband Bob was in summer camp with his ROTC. Before this, Louise kept busy with her home and two boys, while Bob took on the dual role of student at Dayton U. and coach of the rifle and pistol teams. He is working toward his Master's in Business Administration.

Anne Loving Fenley and Tom have left Highstown and moved to a farm near Spring house, Pennsylvania. Tom is now employed by Moore Products Company in Springhouse. Since we haven't heard from Anne in a while let me bring you up to date on her activities.' She is now the proud mother of two children, Katherinie Anne and Edward Anthony. Before retiring to motherhood, Anne was a computer operator and a computer programmer, having taken special training in programming.

Anne says they were delighted when Pat Crawford Lucky and her husband dropped in to visit them last summer.

Word from across the seas from Pat Hunt Worthington.

The Worthingtons are in a perfect location for travel: 60 minutes from Heidleberg, 45 minutes from Stuttgart and only three hours from ski resorts. Another of our far-removed classmates is Cynthia Rabon Barry who resides in Honolulu. She and her husband

vacationed in and around the islands of Hawaii and Kaerai shortly before Christmas. Cynthia is presently a temporary Navy widow, as Randy le ft for a cruise as of February.

Jeanne Kosko Light writes about the showstopping antics of her little son. George Evans modelled in a fashion show and was doing beautifully until he decided to sit down right in the center of the stage! The audience was in an uproar until a 6 year old managed to prod him into continuing down the ramp.

Jeanne's latest endeavor is that of playwright , having written a play for her 6 year old church school children to perform.

Sally Evans Hayes reports that she has fallen in love with her new home town of Marblehead, Mass. One good reason is that there are lots of antique shops within walking distance. Sally is enjoying staying at home, but will teach again next year. She and Jim have met many nice couples who live close by. Sally made a trip home in April to attend a wedding and enjoyed a reunion and gab session with Anne Paige Jones Hurt and other old friends.

Clare Earl Ahlers and children also enjoyed a trip home to Newport News in June while husband Dave worked in New York. Clare spent the entire month relaxi ng and visiting and doing "no thing more strenuous than taking the kids to the beach!" The Ahlers had a bus y and trying winter nursing a 2 year old with a broken leg, the result of a sled-riding accident.

By the time this Bulletin reaches you, I will have lost a secretary and Hawaii will have gained a new citizen. Loretta Hudgins and her roommate plan to drive to San Francisco on the first of August and fly from there to Honolulu where the girls will live next year . When not teaching school, Loretta will enjoy the beach or perhaps learn the hula?

Our best wishes go with Loretta to her new home .

After the April 15 tax deadline, Rozy Weinstein Rottenberg and Maurice "got away from it all" by going to New York City for a funfilled weekend . Rozy reports that she has been cultivating a green thumb and couldn't wait for spring to arrive so that she could plant all the seedlings she had been nursing. Her house had begun to resemble a green house.

On April 2nd the Richmond Club of Westhampton alumnae held their spring luncheon at the Willow Oaks Country Club. Our class was proudly represented by Margie Donald Miller, Em St. Clair Key, Loretta Hudgins, Meurial Webb and Becky Grissom Van Ausdall. The highlight of the affair was a talk

by Betsy Broaddus Zimmerman who also showed slides on Saigon. Betsy spent 4 months there while her husband was serving as civilian advisor . It was well attended and our girls enjoyed being together for an afternoon.

Becky Grissom Van Ausdall decided to give

her government classes a first hand look at democracy at work by taking them to Washington, D. C. Jerry went along to help chaperone the group of 41 students. They saw the Supreme Court in session, met Mr. Satterfield, the Congressman from Richmond, sat in the House of Representatives and went to the Smithsonian, all in one day . The climax of the trip was meeting John McCormack, Speaker of the House, who shook hands and talked with them briefly. Becky writes that it was a rewarding experience for her as well as her students. She will be teaching hisory and gov ernment next year and will work with a special pilot program in Humanities.

D . C. Another pilgr image to Washington, was made recently, this one by Millie Bagley Bracey and Penny whose primary intention was to introduce Karen, their four year old, to the zoo. However, the weather man just wouldn't cooperate, and the rains kept coming, so the Braceys cut the zoo visit short and went to visit Peggy Gore Sykes and family .

Millie is teaching third grade this year, but is moving up to high school government and histor y this fall. Peggy reports that her younger daughter, 10 month old Suzanne, is a regular little Linus with her thumb and blanket .

Jeannette McWilliams Welsh writes that she and Jack are delighted to have joined the ranks of home owners and will reside at 802 Hepler Drive as of June 15th.

Em St. Clair Key and Wayne took a trip to California in June and enjoyed three weeks of fun and sight-seeing .

Phyllis Jenkins Polhemus and Bob attended the opera in February at the Lyric Theater.

Phyllis reports that it was indeed a grand occasion. While we were in New York, Phyllis and Bob met us for lunch at Delmonico's and took us for a quick look at the stock market.

Phyllis and I spent the rest of the atfernoon wearing out our shoes on Fifth Avenue.

I need correct addresses for Frances Templeton Lathom, Nita LeSeur. Please notify your secretary or me if you have any information.

Well, girls, how does it feel to have been graduates of Westhampton College for a year now? We can no longer claim to be the youngest graduates, for the class of 1966 has now joined us.

May Day was quite a reunion for our class.

It was so good to see so many of you back on campus. I can't begin to tell those of you who were unable to attend just how much fun it was. I just wish all of you could have been able to enjoy the fun.

Wedding bells have again been ringing for the girls in our class. Susan Grable became Mrs. David D. Ryan on June 25th.

The Road to Freedom

JACKJOUETT'SRIDE The road to freedom was really no road at all for little known Virginia hero Captain Jack Jouett. It was a punishing, 40-mile, cross country ride ; a desperate, dead of night gallop to warn Governor Thomas Jefferson and the Virginia legislature that the British were coming.

No one ordered Jack Jouett on that ride. He saw his duty-and did it. Forty miles-from Cuckoo Tavern, in Louisa County, to Monticello, near Charlottesville . As Tarleton's redcoats trotted along the road to Charlottesville, Jouett cut his own road to freedom-through the fields and woods of the rough Virginia countryside. To his dying day, Jouett's face bore the scars of tree limbs. To this day, the nation bears him a debt of gratitude. For Jefferson .and the legislature escaped. A disaster in our fight for freedom was averted.

The road to freedom is seldom a highroad, with bands playing and flags flying. It is more often a rough way, unmapped, through darkness and danger.

It has not been the way of ease and expediency, but the way of individual initiative and determination, that has paved our long American Road to Freedom.

JOHN LANGDON MOSS Bereaved friends of Langdon Moss, '37, carefully recalled a verse by Edna Vincent Millay: "My candle burns at both ends/It wiJl not last the night / But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends /It gives a lovely light."

Among the hundreds who taxed the capacity of the sanctuary of Seventh Street Christian Church where the funeral was conducted were harassed businessmen who recalled occasions when Dr. Moss patiently explained to them that they would have to take it easier, slow down a bit if they hoped to live out their alloted three score years and ten.

But he never slowed down. And those who applied to him the adjective, "t ireless," after the first stunning shock of the news of his fatal heart attack at the age of 50 realized that no man is tireless.

Langdon Moss was tired, very tired that early morning when he finished his ministry-and a ministry it was as he devoted himself to alleviating the physical and ofttimes the spiritual ills of those who were his patients. In addition to a large private practice, he was University of Richmond physician and also physician for St. Christopher School.

Michael M. Foreman, '63, now a graduate student at the University of Virginia, recalls with affection and appreciation his three years as a student assistant to Dr. Moss at the University of Richmond. He spoke of Langdon Moss's "in ner qualities" that made him "more than one who brought

comfort and healing in time of sickness.

He was an excellent teacher, counselor and friend.

"The service rendered by Dr. Moss to the University and to the community extended far beyond his healing art. He knew that many had to be perfected beyond the physical side and he worked diligently for his church. He knew that college students faced many doubting moments so he always had time to lend a sympathetic ear and a reassuring hand. His deeds are recorded in our hearts and his work abides."

Dr. Moss had been a practicing physician in Richmond since 1949. He came to Richmond after a brief practice of medicine in Louisa County following his discharge from the Navy after two years of duty as a medical officer.

He was a member of the Medical Society of Virginia, the American Medical Association, the American College Health Association, the American Academy of General Practitioners, the Richmond Academy of Medicine, the American Medical Political Action Committee, and the National Athletic Trainers Association.

"Juvenal had been in exile and he was poverty stricken when he returned to Rome," Dr . Rivenburg said, "He had to put up with insults from many foreigners and that's why he was so indignant."

In the final class, Jack Walsh told the alumnae that the new "theater of cruelty" exemplified in the current play "Marat Sade," written to act as a catharsis for the hostilities of the viewers, may represent a completion of the cycle in drama. " It may represent a return to the 'theater of communion' of Greek and Roman drama which is akin to a religious experience," Welsh said. He added that the "new theater" is an outgrowth of the "theater of revolt" of Western Drama .

Welsh termed the history of western drama "a process of gradual disenchantment." He continued: "There is the Messianic revolt against God , the revolt against social ills of Ibsen and Chekhov, the existentialist revolt of Tennessee Williams and Edward Albee ."

In swinging back to communion in theater, Welsh said, "some playwrights are beginning to regard the theater as a temple

erning board meeting followed by coffee and doughnuts in the Reception Room.

Lillian Belk Youell, '45, national alumnae president, presided over the annual alumnae business meeting. Local clubs gave their reports and a discussion was held to change the date of Alumnae Day to the spring of the year. No final decision was reached.

In an election of officers, Betty Ann Allen Doub '49, Richmond, was elected president to fill the unexpired term of Mrs. Youell, who is going to the Philippines to join her husband. Betsy Camp Smith, '18, of Franklin, Va., was elected to serve as vice president until 1967.

Also elected were five members-at-large for terms from 1966-1968. They were Elizabeth Cosby Carver, '24, of Atlanta, Mildred Harrell Clinkscales, '38, of Norfolk, Margaret Brinson Reed, '40, of Washington, Barbara Moore Flannagan, '54, of Richmond and Elizabeth Ramos Dunkum, '59, of Richmond.

They newly elected president is not only a graduate of Westhampton, but also earned her master's degree there. Since 1962 she has been consulting psychologist at the State Farm For Women. The mother of two girls, Betty Ann is a member of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond Ballet, and Richmond area chapter of the American Red Cross.

She Never Got (Continued from page 8)

scribed fresh air but would not let them open the windows.

During her sabbatical year of 1956, she stayed on an island in Finland with a Finnish family who were the island's only inhabitants. She has had a private tour of the caves in Lascaux, France. to see the prehistoric drawings that are closed to the public now because the elements are doing damage that 22,000 years of history left undone. Once in Paris, spying a poster advertising a bus tour into the Pyrenees, she went along with it to study medieval architecture and sculpture. During the past summer she drove into Iran in a Volkswagen, a journey that was pretty rough going once the car got into Asia, but in Tehran this was compensated by the Indian nursemaid in the home she visited, for the nursemaid, in the absence of her small charges, led Dr. Wright by the hand through the streets of Tehran.

The second time she went to Europe, it was for study in medieval drama which led to her doctorate, and her dissertation on the medieval French theatre demanded hours of reading manuscripts in Paris libraries. One result of this study is her need to wear glasses, but she says that medieval manuscripts are fascinating. "You never know when you' re going to turn a page and find the writer has got tired and inserted something else he was thinking about, like a love song, or a recipe for keeping the teeth white."

Mention of recipes bring up another bond between Dr. Wright and the language she has taught, for French provides the vocabulary of food, when it reaches the height of being called "cuisine" and not simple "cooking." In her own cuisine, in her small house tucked away in the woods off a road named with suitable whimsy Old Mill, she can qualify for the misused noun "Gourmet."

That most French of animals, the cat, also figures in her life, for she shares the white cottage with Pandora, who once let a whole box of troubles loose in Dr. Wright's living-room when a gentleman friend visited her via the chimney.

French is the language of swordplay, and, in a clash of verbal blades Dr. Wright has made many a Westhampton student cry, "Touchc !" In a recent interview with the Richmond Collegian, she said, "The girls don't argue enough with their professors .

Of course, you must know something before you can argue intelligently. But professors like to be challenged. They don't want to [ 39]

feel that they are simply pouring information in." She also wishes that Westhampton girls had more curiosity about the world, and she doesn't think they relate college to the interests developed after graduation.

As for her own interests, Dr . Wright is so deeply in the habit of developing them, and has so many of them, that after her retirement she will simply follow an exhortation heard over and over by 36 years of Westhampton girls learning to read a second language, "Continuez, Continuez ."
