1,000 StrongForAlma Mater A s the Alumni Bulletin goes to press, Alumni Fund and Alumnae Fund chairmen are recruiting two veri table armies of Class Agents to carry the story of the Univer sity and her needs to Alma Mater's sons and daughters throughout the world. There will be 700 serving under the command of Carle E. Davis, '54 ; 300 under Jean Brunse y Biscoe , '48. These workers are the backbone of the Fund effort, the persons who last year brought in approximately $ 150,000 to help provide for the University's current needs. Although thi s is not a great deal of money in a day when we ·are accustomed to speak glibl y of millions and billions, it constitutes a tremendous sum when viewed in terms of liv ing endowment. As a matter of fact, it represents the earnings on $3,000 ,000 in endowment and is of tremendous importance to the Universit y in meeting current needs, including additional money for teacher salaries. The Fund revenue , together with the support of the Baptists of Virginia and the Virginia Found ation for Independent Colleges, constitutes an increasingly important phase of the University's financing. Happil y for higher education , particularly for private colleges and universities, a growing number of American businesse s and industries are participating in matching gift programs. These forward looking organizations say, in effect, that we want to express our appreciation to the colleges and universities that have pro vided so many of our employees, so many of our key executives. Hence, they wi ll match , dollar for dollar , gifts to Alma Mater , through the Alumni Fund. Alumni and alumnae in the very near future will be receiving appeals to sup p ort the Uni versit y through the 1967 Alumni Fund. They can give with the assur anc e that there is no better investment than the education of young men and women. When the appeal comes, give generousl y and gladly.

Help In Time Of Trouble By CARL SHIRES* Though the land abounds in mental woes and tales of mental woe, the University of Richmond 's students aren't going to psychological pot. Troubles, problems and worries some of them have got. Vocational, social, financial, environmenta l, sexual- those sort of troubles, problems and worries. Those and a few more. Things such as the draft, politicians, and a mercifully-ended 18-game losing streak. You could sit down and ponder any one of that list and work yourself into a real fret. And, occasionally, some of the University's students do just th at. But they do so in lesser numbers than most people probably think. And they've got aid and comfo rt closer at hand than most people probably know . The aid and comfort is what this article is about. It's about the Center for Psychological Services that the University maintains . It's also about some of the persons who mak e the Center a going thing from its quarters in the old library wing of Ryland Hall. Center records and talks with Center personnel suggest that the Un iversity of Richmond draws students who are short on *Carl Shires , a Phi Beta Kappa graduate in the class of 1950, is a reporter for the Richmond News Leader.

LSD, beards, protest marches , mascara and stretch pants , long on common sense and Baptist exposure . It's far removed from a big-brother-iswatching-you operation, but lots of people are looking over students at University of Richmond. Deans, faculty advisors, professors, classmates, and roommates are all around to note it when things get a little too rough for an individual. Nobody hauls anybody down kicking and screaming to the Center for Psychological Services. A suggestion, a word , a hint generally is all it takes. The time has passed when a stigma is attached to the act of seeking such aid. Most cases are self-referrals. Most deal with vocational guidance. The U. of R. stude nt who climbs one flight of steps to the Center and says he wants some testing or counseling is among an average of 130 each academic year who does so. He fills out a relatively simple form and he's on his way. A couple of simple tests to confirm he 's in the right major may do it. But if he needs it, he can get up to 20 hours of help. That's the limit , 20 hours . Beyond that, Center personnel may recommend psychiatric help. It's rare when that happens maybe three tim es a year. And it's rare when the full 20 hours are necessary. The Center was established at the Uni -

versity in 195 5, established to provide specialized counseling and staffed by trained counselors and psychologists from the University's own Psychology Department. That's the unique thing about it , sole use of the Un iversity's faculty to lend helping hands and ears. The chances are strong that the student who climbs those steps is going to get some tests-a chievement, mental ability, personality, interest, and preference , reading, special aptitude. He may get any one or a combination of several within categories. The tests may not solve his problems . They often provide in formation which may lead to a solution. And one of the joys of it all, it doesn't cost a nickel. One pays his tuition. The counseling and testing - if he needs itcomes without further cost. Dr. Austin E. Grigg of the University's Psychology Department , is head man at the Center. Mrs . Enders Dickinson , II, is head woman and a very able coordinator. Both ha ve impressive academic and training backgrounds. For University of Richmond graduates, the important thing, of course, is that both have degrees from University of Richmond . For Dr. Grigg, it was a B.A. from Rich mond College in 1940 and an M.A. in 1947; for Mrs. Dickinson it was a B.A. from Westhampton in 1941.

So They Say Edited by DR. JAMES A. SARTAIN

Can BibleStudy Be SpirituallyDangerous? Are some kinds of Bible study spiritually dangerous activities? Is the Bible a substitute for scientific and historic studies? How can we validate the author ity of the Bible? The answers to these and to other questions are considered in a series of four articles on "The Nature and Authority of the Bible" written by Dr. 0. Wi lliam Rhodenhiser , Jr., chairman of the Department of Religion of the University of Richmond, and publis hed in The Baptist Student during the fall and winter months of the current school year. Dr. Rhodenhiser suggests that the individuals must come to th e Bible "with an honest sense of who we are and what we need in order for God's Word to find us." The spiritual danger lies in dealing with the Bible in a haughty manner, either as its defender or detractor. He is also convinced that too much concern with the sh1dy of theories of inspiration and revelation are among the most spirit ually dangerous activities. He feels quite strongly that "certain speculations may be intended unconsciously to avoid a personal, face-to-face experience with God." The individual who attempts to defend or to discredit the Bible by comparing it with secular history or wit h modern science is missing the point of what the Bible is. Dr. Rhodenhiser insists that the Bible clearly

was not written as a source of scientific information nor even of historica l information, per se, and that it is no substitute for human thought or effort in man's search for know ledge about the wo rld. The Bible must be considered as a book of religion. That is, "it is a record of God's revelation of Himself and of the meaning of man's life, the meaning of the universe and of the way to deliverance from our pred ictments to the fu lfillm ent of our life." It is not a book ment to inform us, to be a substit ute for scientific and historic sh1dies. It is not a book of 'history ' in the sense that the secular

Dr. 0 . W illiam Rhod enhiser, '44

Dr. James E. Wo rsham, '47

h istorian wou ld usually use that term, but is rat her "a hi story of God's revelation of Himse lf, an interpretation of the meaning of history wh ich lies withi n the experience of fait h and quite outside any history except a fait h-history." In attempting to validate the authority of the Bible, Dr. Rhodenhiser feels that "we simply must recogn ize that we cannot appeal to some other authority to validate the biblical authority." He fears that many peop le accept the Bible's authority because it is judged to be divinely inspired and authoritative by a written or unwritten creed. This , he reasons, "g ives the creed an authority higher than that of the Bible itself." Dr. Rhoden hiser believes that it is questions such as these which reflect certain amount of confusion about what the Bible does, may stand in the way of the student of the Bible as "we attempt to respond to the Spirit who confronts us as we read the Bible ." A good understanding of what the Bible is and what it does is essential for the serious student of the Bible, for "if we are hindered by an unbiblical set of ideas about what is revealed in the Bible , we may be trying to respond to what is not there and miss what is there-a n instrument by which a fresh, un ique account of revelation may take place as God reveals Himself to the reader."

The Computer and Its Place In Medicine "Prepare two aspirin for Mrs . J. R. Jone s in Room 307." It's the computer speaking. Or rather , typing out a message to the hospital pharmacist. "Prepare Mrs . J. R. Jones for X-ray tests and for blood specimen." Having given the order, the computer then finds a vacant time on the X-ray schedule, notifies the X-Ray department and the nursing stations. At the same time the computer may send the laboratory technician to Room 307 to draw blood. Fantastic? Not at all, says Dr. Jan1es E. Worsham, Jr., associate professor of chem• istry, who envisions the days when the patient will put his faith in the Lord, the doctor, and the computer. The computer, with machine-like efficiency, sees that all of

the doctor's orders for medication , laborator y cardiograms, existing systems provide for the taking of an electro-cardiogram in a tests, and treatments are carried out in the prescribed detail and, of equal importance , doctor's office, the transmission of the electrical signals to a computer in Washingat the prescribed time. Further, and Dr. Worsham considers th is ton for analysis and transmission of the very important, the computer at the flick of results back to the physician. What makes the computer so smart? A a kno b, can make available to the physician complete and accurate records on his patient s. famed physician, one of the world's re ..

Lawrence Pinneo Pioneers Brain

Study

by D R. AUSTIN E. GRIGG '40 Dr. Lawrence E. Pinneo, '5 3, heads a team of scientists at the Delta Regional Primate Research Center of Tulane University whose research holds out hope that the blind may see, the paralyzed may move and the menta lly retarded may function closer to normal. In work widely heralded in the daily press and wire services, Dr. Pinneo's team is exploring the electrical control of behavior by programmed st imulation of the brain. Their work may be the key to restoring normal motor function and control of purposive movement in patients afflicted with paralysis from cerebral strokes, Parkinsonism, epilepsy and other diseases of the central nervous system. Dr. Pinneo, who was a psychology major at the University of Richmond and later a graduate student here, implants tiny electrodes into the brains of monkeys and other animals. Then, by stimulat ing the brain via tiny electrodes, he is able to produce certain behaviors . T he enormous technical problem is to know exactly where to implant the electrodes in the brain in order to produce specific desired actions. From observations of the natural movements of monkeys, Dr. Pinneo goes on to mappin g studies where, as he exp lains it, "we see what we must st imulate in the brain to produce the several elementary movements making the motor sequence, and what the sequence or tempera! order of stimu lations must be in order to reproduce the natural behavior. "T hus, if we wish to have the animal reach out and pick up a piece of food and carry the food to his mouth, we locate the area of the brain that upon electrical stimulation extends the arm, first forward from the shoulder, and then the elbow, then the brain area that opens the hand , then the area that closes the hand around the food, then the area that flexes the arm, first from the elbow and then from the shoulder, and finally the area that turns the arm in toward the mouth." The so-called mapping phase of the research allows Dr. Pinneo and the scientist team he heads to ascertain th e location of allegedly discrete brain centers. By stimulating these centers via electrodes , the movements of the animal are produced. By programming several different movements in a certain time sequence , Dr. Pinneo is able

restoring

to produce a particu lar sequence of behav ior. By changing the time sequence of the program, but still stimulat ing the same sites in the brain, a different sequence of behavior results. The resu lts have been extremely provocative . " We have been able to reproduce nearly every action of an anima l by electrical stimulat;on, " Dr. Pinneo observes . 'These in clude flexion or extension of a limb at the wr ist, elbow, shoulder, ankle, knee or hip , the clenching or spreading of its fingers, opening and closing of its mouth, movement of tail, movements of eyes, dilation of pupils, and finally , we have been able to control heart rate and volume of respiration." Dr. Pinneo was a student here near the close of those golden days when veterans added a new dimension to college classrooms. An ex-GI, he was an innovative thinker who displayed a particular interest in the localization of functions in the brain. He operated on his .first animal brain, that of a white rat, in the Psychology Laboratory which in those days was in the basement of Mary land Hal l. By his own init iative, he obtained aid and guidance from mem bers of the Department of Neurology at

[5)

the Medica l College of Virginia for his Maryland Hall experiments. Lacking adequate facilities here, he stored his syringes, hypodermic needles, scalpels, and anaesthetics in the desk of a member of the Psychology Department. His animals were housed in the Greenhouse workroom atop Maryland Hall. His experiments were not formalized in those days ; he was cutting , punching, probing and gaining experience. He received his B.A. in psychology in 1953 here and remained in our Graduate School for one year. Like many war veterans , h e insisted that his course of study in graduate school be tailored for his own goals and accordingly he studied psychology , physics, chemistry, some advanced mathematics , and then commuted to the Medical College of Virginia where he studied human anatomy He then went to and neurophysiology. Columbia University where he received the M.A. in psychology in 1955. Later , h e went to McGill University, Montreal, internationally known for physiological psychology, and received his Ph.D. in psychology from there in 1962. He then became a post-doctoral fellow at the Institute of Physiology of the University of Pisa , Italy. He has been on the staff of Tulane University since 1963. He has published frequent ly in research journals of experimental and physiological psychology , neurophysiology, biophysics and human engineering. He is the author of D irect Cm-rent Potentials of the Central Nervous System, published by Charles C. Thomas. In a companion experiment to his programming movements by means of brain stimulation, Dr. Pinneo is stimulating the visual centers of the brain to see if he can reproduce the "subjective experience of seeing." Since there is the hope that this work will lead to the development of an apparatus by which computer programmed light patterns will trigger a stimulator to the central nervous system and enable blind persons to "see" primitive patterns, his research in this is supported by the National Diseases and Institutes of Neurological Blindness. Recently, Dr. Pinneo has begun experiments to study the effects of increasing the electrical potential of the brains of the mentally retarded. He explains his rationale thus: "There is evidence that there is a lower level of electrical activity in mental retarda( Continued on page 21)

PRESIDENT TRIBBLE of Wake Forest College. In the ba ckgrou nd is the model of the new campus to which the co llege moved in 1956.

HAROLDWAYLAN D TRIBBLE: He FoughtThe Good Fight By JACK NOFFSINGER, '40

IN FRONT OF THE CHAPEL on the eve of his retirement.

In fashioning Harold Wayland Tribble , '19, the Lord gave him some of the determination of Moses, the wisdom of Solomon , the faith of the Apostle Paul , and the courage of the Christian martyrs . As Dr. Tribble retires from the educational scene at the close of the current session at Wake Forest College where he has been president since 1950, he can say with Paul: "I have fought the good fight." Perhaps no college president has ever led a whole campus to mov e one hundred miles to an entirely new locale, to build all physical facilities "from scratch" and all the time had to wage bitter battles first with one major group of the college constituency and then another - trustees , faculty, students, alumni, the North Carol ina Baptist Convention, and, at times , it must have seemed to him , with every one with whom h e was involved as a college president. Yet, this amazing man , in sixteen years as president of this college, led through all these tiresome battles until the total assets of the college incr eased from $ 10 ,454, 000 to $91,267,900. The operating budget, when he became president, was $1,573,444. This fiscal year (1966-1967), the operating budget is $13,587,00 0. Faculty salaries have increased approximately two and a half times during his administration. The operating budget for the library has grown from about $40,000 to $5 00 ,000 and the number of volumes has tripl ed, from about 100 ,000 to over 300,000 . In 1950 , when Dr. Tribble became president, some forty per cent of the faculty held Ph.D. degrees. Today, sev[ 6J

enty per cent do! During Dr. Tribble's administration , over thirty million dollars bas been raised for the total college program. Student enrollment has grown from 1,750 to over 3,000. What many of us who have known Dr. Tribble through these years have wondered is how any man , even without seemingly endless hectic battles , could lead through such progressively expanding years . Yet Tribble bad hardly begun his administration on the old campus ( near Raleigh , N. C., present site of the Southeastern Baptist Seminary), when the football coach, "Peahead " Wa lker resigned over a salary hassle . Dr. Tribble said he opposed the raise because at that time it was impossible to give the faculty a raise. Immediately , many alumni began to feel that Tribble was a dirty word and it meant to them de-emphasizing athletics . Actually, Tribble consistently has been a firm supporter of the athletic program in full relationship with the total acadamic program. As if this type of crisis were not enough , fighting all the tensions that arise when you move people , Tribble discovered what Moses discovered en route to the Promised Land. Human nature is such that many persons prefer to stay in the status guo of any Egypt than to be led through the trials of moving to any Promised Land. Particularly was this true , when hosts of old Wake Foresters felt they were already in such a land and that they were being Jed into a highly uncertain future in Winston-Salem. Home owners who can recall

Wake Forest President Proves Happy Warrior the hectic tortures endured in just moving their own fami lies may find it difficult to imagine moving a whole college faculty , and staff and students. Once a friend told Dr. Tribble that even if he had no Exodus to lead , any president of a church-related college needed the wisdom of Solomon , the hide of an alligator , the diplomacy necessary to solve the Viet Nam complex, parental gifts to guid e faculty and students, the stubbornness of a bull-dog, the religion of all the saints and the money-raising powers of a financial genius. Think of needing the courage, vision and strength of a Moses too! Harold Tribble must have been shaping that kind of character even in his college days. He transferred to Richmond from Columbia College in Florida (later merged with Stetson) and received his A.B. in 1919 at the age of 19 . He attended summer schools to get his degree so early. He was ed itor of the Collegian and on the staff of the annual, the Spider. He played varsity basketball his junior and senior years. He was an active intercollegiate debater, and a member of Tau Kappa Alpha forensics fraternity and Kappa Sigma social fraternity. He was a sergeant in the Sh1dent Army Training Corps his senior year. Richmond College has meant much to the

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Jack Noffsinger, '40, pastor of Knollwood Baptist Church, W inston-Salem, N. C. has served three years on the board of trustees of Wake Forest College, including service on the execut ive committee of that board. He is a contributing author to Christian Faith in Action, a nd author of It's Your Turn Now! and Heralds of Christ. He has been asked to speak to the European Baptist Convention Summer Assembly in Interlaken, Switzerland in July 1968. He has often spoke n to summer assemblies and conventio ns in Virginia and at Ridgecrest, N. C. He present ly serves as a trustee of Meredith College in Raleigh, N. C. November 22, he was invited to Washi ngton, D. C. to attend a special banquet planned by the Administrative Committee of the Baptist World Alliance to honor Dr. Theodore F. Adams, past president of the Alliance. Dr. Noffsinger told of the unique impact Dr. Adams had on students and fellow pastors. Ja ck, as a University of Richmond student, was a member of the cong reg ation of Richmond's First Baptist Church when Dr. Adams began his ministry there.

FLANKING DR. TRIBBLEat his inauguration as 10th president of Wake Forest are Gordon Gray (left), then president of the University of North Carolina, and Dr. Hollis Edens, then pres ident of Duke University. Tribb le fami ly. Dr. Tribb le's father, one time pres ident of Columbia College in Lake City, Florida, graduated from Richmond College in 18~8, Harold in 1919, and Haro ld, Jr. in 1948. Dr. Tribble describes his Richmond days as "meaningfu l, h ectic and happy." Per h aps the "hectic " part helped to prepare him for all the controversy he was to face. Not only did alumni battle hi m, but after footbalt coach Tom Rogers and Athletic Director Pat Preston resigned , Dec. 3, 1955, (Walker had resigned 111 1951) , a howling mob of students stormed to Dr. Tribble's house on the old campus and burned h :m in effigy. Dec. 22, 1955, the board of trustees voted to "halt a probe into the college admi nistration. " February 2, 1956, the trustees said no change in the administration was warranted "at tnis time. " All this time, Dr. Tribble had to make the final arrangements to move the school to Winston-S alem . A similar situation might have existed if the Allied High Command had announced the morning of D Day, concerning Eisenhower, that "no change in command is warranted at this t1m..:. Tribble kept right on leading across his Red Sea or his Eng lish Channel and on to Camel Land, in spite of the grumblings of his many "friends." May 21, 1956, early commencement was held on the old campus and the move began. June 18, a summer session began on the new camp us. June 29, the trustees voted 20-13 , "not to fire" Dr. Tribble. A lesser man would have given up the whole safari tired of being the guide constantly fired upon instead of the rightful targets. Tribble believed Wake Forest could become a truly grea t university. He just stuck to his moneyraising, bui ld ing plans, up grad ing facult y salaries and academic standards. The N. C. Baptist Convention alternately praised and criticized_Tribble . In November 1957, the Convention gave Tnbble an overwhelming vote of confidence but at the

[7}

same time reaffirmed a no-dancing on campus edict which made college administration an almost impossible task. The convention several times affirmed the desire to see the school attain university status , yet refused to permit a broadening of the constituency of the board of trustees or the yielding of the policy setting for the school entirely to the trustees . Tribble doggedly kept leading toward university status. If courageous determination and a refusal to play the game of "how can I be popular" are assurances of success, Tribble 's dream will come true . He came back from the 196 3 N. C. Baptist Convention voted down in to that body, but his recommendations hailed on camp us as a hero by an unbelievably enthusiastic student rally. In addition to all these achievements, Harold Tribble has accomplished many other things. He earned his Th.M. and Th.D. degrees from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in 1922 and 1925, his M.A . from the U. of Louisville in 1927 , his Ph.D. from U. of Edinburgh in 1937 . From 1925-1929, he served as assistant professor of theology at Southern Seminary. From 1929-1947, he was professor of theology there. From 19471950, he was president of Andover Newton Theological School, Newton Center, Mass. He has received numerous honorary degrees, including LLD. from the U. of Richmond in 1949 , Duke in 1952 and the U. of North Carolina in 1952. Tribble was born in Charlottesville where his father was president of a girl's school. Dr. Tribble married Nelle Futch , June 10 , 1925. They have three childr en, H. W., Jr. , Betty May and Barbara Ann. Dr. Tribble is an ordained minister and author of three books, 011r D octrines, fr om Adam to J\1oses, and S,1/uation . In 1935 he revised E. Y. Mullins' Th e Baptist Faith. Dr. Tribble is almost a rariety in our time- a man who keeps fighting for his goals whether popular opinion is with him (Co111i11uedon page 21)

Johnny Moates Has Hot Hand

SpidersEvenIn ConferencPlay e Playing their best game of the season, Coach Lewis Mills' University of Richmond basketball team walloped William and Mary, 90-78, before 3,800 fans at the Richmond Arena to give the Spiders a 4-4 Southern Conference, 3-1 State Big Five and 5-6 overall record at the break for examinations. It was the third straight home victory for the Red and Blue quintet which had turned back VMI, 89-65, and upset defending Southern Conference champ Davidson , 72-69, in previous home tilts after dropping an 89-84 decision to Virginia in its first appearance of the season at the Arena. On the road, however, the Spiders have had their troubles, beating only VMI , 76-74, and Florida State, 80-7 6, while bowing to George Washington , 78-68 ; West Virginia, 103-75; Virginia Tech, 76-61; The Citadel, 81-79, and East Carolina, 97-80. The big guns for the Spiders have been Richmonder Johnny Moates, the 6-1 captain and All-Southern guard who is leading conference scorers with a 25.6 point average, and Tom Green, the lanky 6-6 forward from Bristol, Tenn., who has a 20.4 average and has pulled down better than a dozen rebounds a game. Each contributed 32 points in the victory over W&M, Green's

GOSSETT

total being his career high . Moates tallied a career high of 35 points in the big win over Davidson. The big win over W&M was encouraging for the second half of the season.

HILTON

SMITH

Alumni Star In Pro Football Ranks Three University of Richmond alumniBruce Gossett, Ron Smith and John Hilton - are doing well in professional football in the National Football League. Gossett is a kicking sp ecialist with the Los Angeles Rams and Smith and Hilton are teaming up as a passing combination with the Pitts burgh Steelers. Gossett has become one of the NFL's outstandi ng field goal kickers and is one of the big reasons for the Rams' improvement this season. He played for the Spiders in 1963. Smith and Hilton wound up their careers

with the Spiders in 1964. Smith, a quarterback, was signed by the Rams and Hilton was drafted by the Detroit Lions. Smith saw little action with the Rams and was traded to the Green Bay Packers who in turn traded him to Pittsburgh . Hilton , too, was traded to the Steelers. Smith got h is big break this season when an injury sidelined the Steelers' No. 1 quarterback. He stepped into the spot and has clone a remarkable job with his limited pro experience. One of his chief targets is Hi lton, Pittsburgh's tight end who is developing into one of the finest in the NFL. [ 8

A Westhampton Who's Who

Past AlumnaePresidentsServeTheirCommunities Past presidents of the Westhampton College Alumnae Association do not fade away. When they surrender the gavel, they undertake other positions of leadership in community, professional and church activities. Three current leaders in the Richmond area are Mary Mills Freeman, '35, and Frances Anderson Stallard, '28, both members of the University's board of trustees, and Antoinette Wirth Whittet, '41. Mrs. Freeman is finishing a two-year term as president of the Council of The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. She guides about 500 women in such varied Museum activities as tours, the Council Shop, hostessing, and the "Loan-Own" operation (which promotes the lending of works by Virginia artists who have exhibited in the Museum with the option to buy the paintings). The Council also assists in the library, the box office and the Virginia Artists' Show. Another interesting project is the Viennese Ball, the annual fund-raising project. In 1964 Mrs . Freeman headed the women's division of the United Givers' Fund . Mrs. Stallard is serving on a new committee to gain more community involvement for Central Virginia Educational Television. She is also he lping in the Museum's "Loa nOwn" operation and is co-chairman of the Woman's Club library committee where she discovered that every worker on a recent project was a Westhampton alumna. She is past president of the Tuckahoe Woman's Club and of the Elizabeth Kates Foundation which supports a program for rehabilitating women prisoners. Mrs. Whittet is president of The Woman's Club, a 1300-member organization which serves its members primarily as a program club with speakers weekly and sometimes twice a week. She served on the board of the Richmond Children's Aid Society for 10 years and as chairman of the Martha Lee Schmidt Home. She helped organize this "home" and presently serves on the board of the Family and Chi ldren's Service, a group formed by the merger of the R.C.A. Society and Family Service. Two past presidents are prominent in the field of law. Frances Farmer '31 is associate professor of law and l;w librarian at the University of Virginia . She has published the Woodrow Wilson Reader which has appeared in three trans lations . Elizabeth Tompkins, '19, a member of the Board of Trustees, is one of the leading lawyers in Richmond in the field of Real Estate and Probate and Estate Law .

tion to country life in recent years. After living in cities- Shanghai and Richmond all her adult life, she and Dr. Decker have moved to a 158-acre farm in King William County. In the past she served as president of the board , Virginia Home for Incurables; school board member , 15 years; board of the Valentine Museum; president of the Albert Hill PTA; president of the Richmond Branch AAUW; Richmond Christmas Mother 1962, and member of the Board of Tmstees. Administrator , editor, writer, lecturer , teacher and public relations officer are just a few of the titles that could be applied to Mrs. Evans. A recipient of the University's honorary doctor of social service degree, she established the North Carolina State Employment Service by piloting a bill through the legislature and serving as its first State Director. She is currently lecturing and free-lancing. "Life has been rich in human interest for me," she says, "for I have participated in many of the dynamic programs of our times. " Mrs. Lacy is leading two activities among Virginia Baptists at present. As a member of the Baptist Education Study Task (BEST) she studies higher education in church related schools. Each state is assigned a subject for study, Virginia 's being "Academic Freedom and Responsibility. " She is also first vice-president of Virginia's Woman 's Missionary Union which has 58,000 mem-

bers. Aside from her many church activities she serves on the City Planning Commission for South Boston. For 15 years she has been a trustee of Averett College . Half a world apart are Harriet Sharon Willingham, '26, and Lill :an Belk Youell , '45, but both are involved in helping others with the Eng lish language. Mrs. Willingham, a world traveler now living in New York City, participates in the English-inAction program of teaching conversational Eng lish to college students from other countries. Her major activity, however , involves the United Church Women, the ecumenical movement of church women today, where she serves on the Executive Committee of its National Board. She is a past trustee of the University. A Naval officer's wife, Mrs. Youell is living in the Philippines where she heads a gro up of Navy wives in helping Filipino children to speak English correctly. She finds Eng lish the most common means of commun ication there with instruction in diction and enunciation greatly needed . She also helps the Officers' Wives Club in sending cookies, books, and Christmas decorations to the Da Nang hospital. Also involved in a special teaching project is Martha Elliott Deichler , ' 39, who is teaching reading to adults. A resident of Brockport, N. Y. , she finds many pupils among the migrant workers who come north to help harvest crops . She recently joined an organization devoted to improving housing in the area . This group incorporated and raised funds to buy and recondition a larg e, old home. It has been rented to a widowed

grandmother and her orphaned six grandchildren. Many former presidents have been active leaders in the field of education. Florence Siebert, '33, has been a school principal for 11 years and is past president of the Norfolk Principal's Association. Martha Lipscomb Walsh , '25, is chairman of the science department at McLean High School in Fa irfax County. She serves on a seven member committee which writes College Board Chemistry Achievement Examinations. The American Chemical Society, Virginia Section, presented her a "Distinguished Service Award for Science Teaching" last June . A familiar name to graduates of Richmond ·s John Marshall High School is Mary Peple, '24 . A member of the English De partment there since 1928, she directed school plays and operettas there for many years. She wrote a p lay on cheating which was published and is still being performed in schools throughout the country. In 195 4 her letter on "Why I Teach" won a national contest sponsored by the Women's Auxiliary of the American Legion. Lila Crenshaw, '26, who also chose teaching for a career, is a member of the Board of Deacons of Ginter Park Presbyterian Church. Women had never served in this capacity until about three years ago when it was approved by the General Assembly. Immediately Miss Crenshaw was elected a deacon. Celeste Anderson O'Flaherty, ' 15, terms her activities "a ncient history" now. ' "When I graduated in 1915, there were very few college women, especially in the South. It was the era of women's rights ... I was fortunate to come into contact with Dr. Ora Hatcher , retired English professor from Bryn Mawr. She organized the Southern Educational Alliance, its aim being to help establish places for specialized training for college women in fields formerly closed to them. "As a result of the work of this group , R.P.I. was started as a Social Service Training School, the only one in the South at that time. As a member of her committee I made many arrangements for her and served as a liaison with local officials, selling the idea that women had a place even though they did not h ave a vote. "Today, when women are engaged in every type enterprise and even hold elective office, this seems almost unbelievable. " Pollyanna Shepherd, '3 7, office manager for Shepherd Printing Co. in Portsmouth, has combined a full-time job with varied civic activities. She has served as president of the local AAUW, president of the Virginia Federation of Baptist Business Women's Circles, junior editor of the Virginia Club Woman, and director of the March of Dimes. Last year she was president of the Pilot Club , a service club for women . Mary Owen Bass, '4 1, served as president of the Richmond Branch of the AAUW and ANTOINETTE WIRTH WHITTE T, '41, gives leadership to the 1300 members of the Rich- after moving to Wilmington, Del., she rose to the same position with the local AAUW mond Woman 's Club.

She is past president of Lee District, Virginia Federation of Women's Clubs served as state advisor on women's activities in 1954 for the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis , and was Richmond Heart Sunday chairman in 1958. A list of al! of the past and present activities of the Alumnae Association presidents would read like "Who's Who. " However, the activities noted here are representative of the leadership this group of Westhampton grad uates have given to a variety of organizations throughout the nation and abroad. In a special category, are past president Les!ie Sessoms Booker, '22, whose activities as Alumnae Secretary are well-known to al 1 Westhampton graduates and Betty Ann Allen Doub, '4 9, the current president of the Association, who says she "hopes to Jive up to the impressive performances of my predecessors." A consu lting psychologist for the State Industrial Farm for Women (Virginia 's only prison for women), Mrs. _Doub aims to "emp hasize student contact with alumnae for a more vital identification with current camp us trends and needs and to encourage activities of the local clubs around collegecentered themes."

gained 120 yards running in 26 tries. Middle Guard Dave Delgado, who with Zunich and Offensive Tackle Bob Andrews earned All-Southern laurels, was a stand out on defense. The Spiders played a fine defensive game against East Carolina, which tied William and Mary for the conference championship , but mental errors and some questionable officiating kept Richmond in "hot water " all afternoon. The Pirates took advantage of the mistakes and "calls" to earn a hard fought victory. William and Mary 's Dan Darragh threw four touchdown passes to give the best Indian eleven in years a 28-0 lead over the Spiders. However , Coach Jones was pleased with Richmond's spirited fourth quarter rally which netted 19 points. O'Brien passed to Davis for two scores and tallied once himself. O'Brien, who will rehtrn next season, set school records of 99 completions and 1,22 1 yards passing and a total mark of 1,301 yards total offense. However, Jones must find replacements for Zunich , Davis, Halfback Larry Shotwell and Defensive Back Rick Payne in the backfield and Guard Larry Pew, Tackles Bob Albright, Andrews and Don Attaway and Center Sam Ander son in the line next Fall. The Spider freshmen caphtred three of their five games, defeating Fork Union Military Academy, 14-8, in their final game.

Battling opponents, at times having his own teammates blocking his way, Tribble, true to his basketball experience, keeps boring in-and scoring. He retires from the education scene to the applause of his many friends and with the grudging admiration of his foes.

tion. We will try to overcome this by increasing the electrical output of the reticular formation of the brain in monkeys. If this proves useful, perhaps in the future the mental retardate could wear a device which would introduce electrical activity needed for the brain to function normally ." Men have often dreamed of creating a robot or an electronic brain . Perhaps one way to view Dr. Pinneo's career is to see him as a scientist who does not wish to build a servo-mechanism artificial creature, but who prefers, instead, to take the natural marvels of the living central nervous system and to learn to establish controls by probing for the brain centers that control behavior and by understanding the laws of the electrical potential of the brain.

DR. SANDERS IS VP OF ENGLISH ASSOCIATION Dr. F.

of the School of Medicine in the new field of bio-medical engineering. This is one illustration of the increasing reliance of medical research on basic science, mathematics, and engineering. Some specific problems under consideration are the computer control of drug application, storage of medical records, and instrument design for intensive care pulmonary wards . Last spring Dr . Worsham delivered two lectures in the Stoneburner Lecture series at the Medical College of Virginia , entitled "Mathematical-Model Building" and "An alog Computers." He also spoke to a seminar in Rockville, Maryland , for National Science administrators on the use of analog computers. He has also been recently selected as an American Chemical Society Visiting Scientist. He will visit a number of colleges and give lectures on analog computers and their use in chemistry and in new teaching techniques. One lecture in the series is rather unique . It is on "The Scientist as a Poet." In this lecture Dr . Worsham points out that creative imagination is required for both the poet and the scientist and just as the poet gives new insight and understanding through his poetry, so does the scientist as he promulgates a new theory .

University of Rochester in 1942; Dr. Grigg got his Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Iowa in 1957. A list of their affiliations with professional and scientific organizations would take several paragraphs. A rundown on their business and professisonal careers would take several more. Suffice it to say: They' re qualified. On a personal note, it's this way : Dr. Grigg is bald of head, crisp of manner and incisive of mind. He is an easy grinner, a down-to-earther who in brief exposure convincingly dispels pre-conceived notions of the crazy, mixed-up psychologist. Mrs. Dickinson is trim of structure, blithe of spirit, agile of mind . A first glance shows she does not fit the hoary generalizations of the woman professional. Conversation shows quickly there's quite a brain in the struch1re. It was they who provided interviews that provided information, statistics and examples. Some of it follows. There is a sophomore slump among college students. Contrary to the sophomore notion that it is the sophomore who knows it all, it is they who come more often to the Center than do members of any other class. A review by Mrs . Dickinson of Center files for the 1965-66 academic year shows that 7,6 sophomores showed up at the Center for psychological services. The comparable figures for other classes: freshmen , 52; juniors, 26, seniors, 5. The statistics were similar for other [ 21}

SAM CAREY HEADS WRVA-TV STATION Samuel S. Carey, a past president of the University of Richmond Parents Organization, has been promoted to station manager of Richmond 's WRVA -TV. Carey, vice-president of Richmond Television Corp., was formerly assistant station manager . He was named program manager of WRV A when the station began operation 10 years ago. He was previously with WRVA radio. Carey was the 1965-66 president of the Parents Organization. His son, Roger Neill Carey, is a senior in Richmond College.

academic years. The sophomore apparently is not so cocky, self-possessed and selfassured as he would have you believe. He must make a decision on his major before matriculating for his junior year. Some times that decision gets to him. A further breakdown into boy and girl Center visitors shows something else. In 1965-66, despite the fact that the boys outnumber the girls by about 3-1 at University of Richmond , girls seeking help at the Center that year numbered 70. The boys numbered 89. Mrs. Dickinson was quick to explain that that doesn't mean that the girls are more mixed up. Instead, she assures, it is the girls who come more often for vocational guidance; it is the girls who are more apt to be more concientious about what they are doing and what they are going to do once that degree is in hand. But the girls have personal problems also. The most frequent is what Dr. Grigg calls the " dating-rating " problem. That takes several turns. He cites girl Y as an example. Miss Y was a junior; her background was one of strict moral standards. She came for counseling, said things were all fouled up, that she was frightened, depressed, un able to study. She recently had dated a boy as a blind date. There were superficial discussions of the dating, movies attended, topics discussed. She . denied any boy pressure for kissing, pettm~, or parking. But during one of the mterv1ews, she blurted: "But I know if he should want to get intimate, I couldn't restrain myself." (Continued on page 39)

1921Of those who initially composed our Class of 1921, we now are a group of 27-17 who were graduated from Westhampton, one from Vassar, and nine who have found other activities more engrossing than baccalaureate degrees. We do not have information about all who started out in our class, but of the 27 Westhampton graduates, 10 are no longer with us: Josephine Eliza Williams, Anita Story, Marion Purvis Stoneman, Mildred Rucker, Mary Bowie Martin, Margaret Madeleine Goodman, Rose Elizabeth Eubank, Eva Wynn Ellis, Ruth Justice Dillard, and Maie Addison Collins. For these and others who are no longer with us, we hold many cherished memories. For us 27 who are still working in the vineyard, statistics hold much encouragement. Although at the turn of the century our life expectancy was only 49 years, now that we have achieved 65 we may look forward to 16 more years-we women, that is. Of our current group, 22 of us are married, of whom eight are widowed. The following quickie profile of our Class is drawn from information about 21 of us 27. We hope the remaining 6 of our group will yet respond, as in the upcoming Alumni Bulletins we will carry individual news. Our profile degree-wise shows we hold 16 B.A. degrees, 15 from the University of Richmond, one from Vassar, two B.S. degrees from the Universities of Richmond and North Carolina, and one B.M.T . from the now Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. We have received six Master's, from Columbia, University of Virginia, and George Washington University. We have achieved one Ph.D. from Columbia and one M.D. from the Woman's Medical College of Philadelphia. Postgraduate study by four of us has been done at Harvard, Universities of Chicago, Columb ia, Virginia, and Maryland, and at William and Mary. Our professional and other full-time activities of employment include: teacher in the fields of mathematics, English, history, Bible, physics, chemistry, psychology, Latin, art, and religious education; executive with Girl Scouts of America, state and federal government, boards of national organizations, and the Democratic National Committee; administrator in the fields of education (primary, secondary, and higher education, dean of women, registrar, etc.); positions with state and federal government in Departments of State, Health, Education, Welfare, Labor; editor; artist; doctor of medicine; public relations and public information officers; businesswoman; personnel officer; advertising manager; postmistress; librarian; counselor in guidance, and in dramatics; researcher; and statistical analyst. Among our husbands' activities are: judge, attorney, scientist, civil engineer, architect, editor, newspaper proprietor, press official, teacher, administrator, businessman, and postmaster. Family-wise, we have 25 children and three stepchildren: 13 daughters and 15 sons. Grandchildren total 59: 34 granddaughters and 25 grandsons. College is still ahead for grand-

1925Because of letters received from Anne Gordon (Steward) and Mary Glenn Waller Lacy I have some news for you. After the jaunt of the spring to New Delhi and Tokyo (where Anne's husband, "Camp," gave a series of lectures at universities) Anne and Camp stayed quiet for a while with the exception of several week-end visits with their son and his family. Anne says that it takes considerable ingenuity on her part to keep her three-year-old granddaughter and 17month-old grandson amused. The last week in July, Anne and Camp were in Ontario, Canada. They went into Algonquin Park, an old haunt of theirs, and walked the trails they had known in the past and did some paddling around Cache Lake. They attended meetings in College Park, Md. and did take several trips into Washington, D. C., but they did not get into Va. Mary Glenn's older daughter, Evelyn, and her husband with their five-year old daughter, Lacy, live with Mary Glenn and her husband. Their other daughter, Fannie Louise, has just presented them with their first grandson, whom they will call "Rich." If you plan to visit Hopkinsville, drop Mary Glenn a note, a3 she would enjoy renewing old acquaintances . Her address is Mrs. W. E. Lacy, R. No. 1, Box 249, Hopkinsville , Ky. 42240.

PSYCHOLOGY SURVEY What does a Westhampton graduate do with her major? This was the question posed by the Uni versity's department of psychology in a survey last year of girls who graduated from Westhampton from 1961-1965 . Of 172 who replied to the questionnaire , 128 fell into seven categories: teaching, 68; housewife, 28; graduate student, 13; computer programmer, 11; research, 9; social work, 5, and librarian, 4. The remaining 44 are spread over a wide variety of jobs in government, the ministry , business, editorial work, psychometry, personnel work, Peace Corps, statistics, Red Cross, chemistry, medicine, etc. Many, of course, combine the job of housewife with that of a full-time job. Computer programming, a relatively new field, proved especially attractive to math majors. For majors in languages, history , political science, sociology, psychology, English, and biology , teaching was the top choice. Among math majors teaching tied with computer programming. Social work followed teaching as the job most often chosen by sociology majors. Many science graduates decided to go into research in a variety of specialized fields.

Her younger son has finished high school. Claire Francis was more fortunate than Eleanor. Her car was rammed from the rear, but she was not hurt. Ruth Brann Scott, whose husband is administrator of the Veteran's Administration Hospital in Richmond, has four children. Jimmy, the oldest, is a graduate of the University of North Carolina and is now doing graduate work in computer science. Anne is in her third year at Mary Washington and is a chemistry major.

Mayme had news of a trip Margaret Forrer Wren and husband had taken. Margaret said in her letter: "Our trip to Russia was interesting. The Russian people seemed more like us and very unlike the people we had met in Spain, France, or even England, which I think is very unusual. Don't know what I expected, but cer tainly not that ." Several '41ers have children on the campus : Ann Woodward Courtney 's daughter and Catl1nine Hoover Stone's daughter are freshmen at this year.

She had received a letter from Eleanor Kendell Miller, asking to be remembered to the class . Evelyn vacationed last summer and attended the 50th wedding anniversary celebration of some friends. On her way home she spent a day at Mackinas Island, enjoying the history there. She writes, "Sat urday, November 19th, we had the fall luncheon of the Washington Club of our Alumnae Association and the class of '41 was represented by Kathryn Krug and me.

Ann Gwaltney Harwood 's daughter was married recently . All of the above news came from May Thayer Holt. If you have any news, please send it to Wendy Cline, our secretary, so we won't have the "blanks " we've been having lately. Class news is much more interesting with a variety of names! It was fun to see so many familiar faces at the Nov . Homecoming . Every one gathered in the deanery (which has been beautifull y refor buns and tea or coffee. The decorated) Richmond Alumnae chapter was doing a thriving business selling shelled pecans, a marvelous Christmas present. " Dr. Mary Lou 's" smiling face seems to match the cheerfulness of the deanery these days. Allene Jones Patteson and I had a nice and Harry are at home telephone visit-she near Mt.

1943Your response to my letter has been excellent, and I sincerely appreciate every - reply. I wish I had the time to answer each one separately. There is so much news that I cannot possibly put it all in one issue, so I'm going to pass "it on to you in the order in which I received your cards . Perhaps by the end of the year ALL of you will have returned them. From Carolyn Babb Heflin at Virgina Beach: " We have three children, Anne, a junior at Westhampton and president of her class; Bill, a freshman at VMI, and David, in the sixth grade. We have just returned from a wonderful week at Sandridge, and an exciting experience with a northeaster." Pam Carpenter Henry, Barnesville, Ga (who still holds the class "family" record): "Our roster stands at nine children. Noel, the oldest College; girl, is a sophomore at Wheaton Walter plans to enter Georgia Tech in September; George, Jr., Juliette, and Gwynn are in high school and are all basketball enthusiasts ; Ben, Christy Sue, and Pamela are in grade school; and Rolfe, the youngest, will enter the first grade next year . George has returned to his medical practice after a three months ' illness, and I have just completed a which I course by correspondence writer's hope to put to use very soon." Althea Johnston Black, Richmond, who sends news of Helen Ridgley: "Helen is headmistress of Stevens School, a private preparatory school She was in Richmond this in Philadelphia. and retirement, summer for Miss Wright's looked marvelous." Ann Chambliss Surber, Tennessee: "Our oldest daughter, Kim, was married in May to a fellow classmate at Belmont College in Nashville . They are living in Nashville until he graduates in June.

George, in the eighth grade; Ellen, seventh grade, and Beth, second grade, complete our family . Bill is the advertising director for the Tullahoma News, and I am credit manager for a local business firm." Rose Koltukian Wallace, Wilbraham, Mass. : "I am still busy with church and community work, but I would like a real reason to go back to school. " Rose has two young sons, Kevin

and Bruce and a Welsh Gorgi puppy which she says {s her newest project. Rose was in Richmond this summer for her father's marriage to an old family friend. Don and I visited Rose and Jim in Wilbraham last summer and were charmed by their delightful NeV:, England communiry. Effie Profit Young, Richmond: "Our seven children range in age from 19 years to 15 months. Sweetie Emerson McSavery calls Jeff, the youngest our little bonus. I recommend having a ne~ baby to all the class of '43 !" Jo Smith Parker. Greensboro, N. C.: "I PTA, Sunday School and Girl Scout myself around the clock. I m'ust add that I do enjoy it. Our nine year old, Anne, is a real delight. I have also enjoyed meeting Connie Reed Rowlett, '46 who moved here two yars ago." Lowaita Rowland Martin in the mountains of Va. : "I am living in Millboro and teaching high school English. My 13-year old son is with me . We just arrived back east from Calif. in July. If anyone is out here, in the depths of the mountains, I'd love to see them. However I understand that we are pretty well buried for Dec. through Feb. After that I hop:, to get over to Richmond for a weekend. And from Georgie Simpson: "After 20 years of active duty I am preparing to retire from the Navy as of March l, 1967. I have accepted a new position as staff engineer in the Federal Systems division of I.B.M . in Bethesda, Md. They are opening a new laboratory for research on special problems, and I shall be the supersection. Our first visor of the microbiology project will be concerned with the microbiological problems of manned space systems ." This will be all for this issue, but there's lots more to come. By the way, there have been several calls for the scrapbook. I had it about a year ago and mailed it on to Fay Carpenter Kirchman in Brookeville, Md. Has anyone heard of its position since? Thanks again to each of you for your response. Mns. W. D. MOORE (Ann Byrd Tucker ) Coats, N. C.

1944Ellen Mercer Maxwell sent me a note after the last letter had been mailed. It told of her planned trip to Europe. This time I as~ed her to write us about what she and Keith had done. Here is part of what she says, "We combined our interests in our summer trip, spending the last two weeks in Spain. We Cordoba, Badajoz, Merida, visited Madrid, Granada and Sevilla. In Badajoz we attended the fourth annual meeting of the Spanish Speech Correction Society where Keith gave Before Spain we spent five days a speech .... in London, four in Amsterdam, five in Copenhagen. We had not been to Holland before and we enjoyed the good food, the beautiful and the quaint flowers of the countryside Amazingly, we atmosphere of the canals .... One day in have yet to find London rainy .... Amsterdam was wet and Copenhagen was grey this time. Keith spent two days in Denmark visiting factories which make hearing aids and electronic equipment for speech labs." They celebrated their wedding anniversary at Trivoli. Sounds like a great trip! Ellen hours a week Mercer is teaching again-eight and Spanish last for the University-Latin spring and two classes of Spanish this fall. Dot Monroe Hill sent me some letters and cards she had received. One card was written in August from Ocracoke here in N. C. where Bill and Lucy Garnett Lacy and family were vacationing in "lots of rain and little sun." They have a new address: Dr. 0. W. Lacy, Pennsylvania Lancaster, 452 Race Avenue, 17603.

I had quite an experience two weeks ago in a restaurant in Southern Pines, N.

We had a great time while his dinner got cold and a busload of people waited on me, but in N. C. not many of us ever get a chance to run into a classmate . He lives in Red Springs, N . C. Dot's letter to me also mentioned that Lois had seen Cathy Cotton's picture in Seventeen but neither of us saw it. I understand she is studying design at the University of Connecticut. Ruthie, I wish you'd write me about you and yours. In fact, won't some of you write so I'll have something to report in the Spring Bulletin? I've almost run out of the news Dot sent me.

Their spacious quarters at Sangley Pt. were Japanese BOQ during the war. The yard abounds with flowering shrubs and tropical plants. Lillian enjoys the luxury of a yard boy, cook, house girl, and sewing girl. So among

other things she finds time to administer a volunteer teachi ng program to help elementary children with English pronunciation. The boys play basketball and their mode of transportation is a Honda.

Our town is gladdened by the arrival of the Hall Patricks (Charlotte Thomas) from Mexico on Dec. 1. After six years as dean of the Seminary in Mexico City (following six years in Haiti), Hall is now "holed up" until Sept . working on his thesis. Their interesting and attractive youngsters are Ted and John who attended YES; Eliza and Caroline, fifth and sixth graders in the Culpeper School, and Stephen, a kindergartner. Alice Gray Rawlings Johnson who for several weeks this fall was with her daughter Virginia, 15, at the Children's Hospital in Cambridge, Mass., where Virginia underwent orthopedic surgery, is now back in Fredericksburg. The recuperation this year at home will be fast and successful with Alice Gray for a nurse! It is with a heavy heart that I must report the tragic and untimely death on Oct. 1 of 16-year old William Munford Tuck Dillard as a result of football injuries. An athlete as well as honor student, Tuck was one of the finest young men it was ever my privilege to know. To quote the home town paper, "He was a bright presence among us during a life made all too brief, but we are grateful that he lived . The example he set will live on as a beacon for many others to follow. " His courageous parents, Betty (Lawson) and Les Dillard are much in our hearts. MRS.

1947l had a nice letter from Janie Copenhaver Hudson. She brought me up to date on her family. She and her lawyer husband live in Culpeper, Va. with their two sons . I received her letter just after the last deadline. Her son J . B. (Rock) Hudson, III, was named the outstanding eighth grade boy at Ann Wingfield Junior High School last June. The award was based on scholastic standing, dependability, cooperation, attitude, personality, and leadership. He entered Woodberry Forest in September. Her other son, Bob, who is 11, is an honor student in both grades and citizenship. He attends Grymes School in Orange, Va . Not to be outdone by her sons '"Copie" won the Culpeper Country Club Woman's golf championship this past summer. Besides golf, she enjoys church choir work and taught life saving at the Country Club during the summer. She and her mother and sister took a Caribbean cruise, stopping in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands . Homecoming was a very pleasurable evening this year. I'm sorry to say that only Betty Andrews, Bev Browne, Jean Waldrup and I could make it. Jean 's cousin was the senior hostess at our table. Besides a delicious dinner the University Players gave excerpts from their production of "Fantasticks." They were really delightful. I wish to extend the sympathy of the class to Marion Collier Miller . Her father died in Nov. I was notified by the Alumnae Office that class reunions will be held May 12-14, 1967. Since it will be our 20th please make a note of it and plan to come. You will be hearing from us fairly soon . MRs. JoHN C. HomGAN (Mildred Daffron) 4636 Stuart Ave., Richmond, Va. 23226

1948Our monthly '48 bridge club had difficulty surviving, but eight of us got together the other day at my house-the real motive being -to collect news for this letter. Actually, there was a minimum of news and a maximum of bridge. Sara Brenner Rubin joined us for the first time and we enjoyed seeing her again. An important date to note is the Spring Alumnae Week -end which the WC Board voted to have with the men, May 12-14. I voted for this and hope the response will be goo::!. If not, there is always that possibility, we may return to separate times. So make every effort to come and join the fun, even 'tho it is not our reunion year. Pat Adams Woodhead wrote that she, Bob, and their oldest boy went on a wonderful pleasure-business trip to the West Coast, starting in the north and ending up in Tucson before catching a flight home to Pa. Their summer was "athletically orientated," with Bob winning a swim meet after five hours of tennis. I have never reported that Maria Carter Satterfield returned to her remodeled house after a 12-week absence because of fire . Her four children are 17, 15, 12, and 8. Her 15year old is at St. Catherine's and recently, she and Maria played in Mother-Daughter competition. They had a good picture in the paper about their participation. Peggy Stone Cunningham was in D.C. for a Stone family reunion recently . . . Monty El liott Ownby and Ralph were vacationing in N .Y.C. . .. Betty Hickerson Butterworth and Jack had an exciting trip to the Greenbrier, White Sulphur Springs . . . Homecoming was fun, but I didn't see any '48ers. Our sympathy is extended to Helen Condyles Couphos whose father has died. Boo Koltukian Cowles lives in Mo . with Sidney, four children, two cats, six dogs, and a horse . She spent 10 days touring in London and returned with Sidney who was there on business. He's plant manager for Armour in Crystal City. Boo is president of her PTA and has done some substituting. She also is involved with AAUW Branch. Congratulations to Doris Vickers Hall on her recent marriage to Frank Lektorich . Her family has now been increased by eight. Frank's seven children range from 19 on down. Be sure to record her new name and address on your list: 400 Archer, Anaheim, Calif. Our deepest sympathy goes to Seth Darrow Shannahan whose 49-year old husband, Bill, died suddenly of a heart attack while assisting at the scene of an accident . Th~ newspaper report told of Bill's many civic interests . Long ago I misplaced news from Ann McKee Coulbourn who lives in S.C.-and have just found it. Her only child was in prep school in Va. and she was staying busy at the bridge table, church, and art lessons.

I went with my two children and Faye Hines Kilpatrick's mother to see Faye and Bob's oldest son, who sustained back injuries as the result of an auto accident near their home in Conn. He was home after being in the hospital several weeks and in a body cast . He is progressing nicely and hopefully will have no permanent disability. His being home gave us a chance to see more of the family . They have five lovely children, phis dog, cat and three horses. This year, the Alumnae Fund Chairman is a '48er, namely me, and since I am more aware of our financial needs, I hope many of you will respond. Our class percentage is low . Quite selfishly, I'd be greatly pleased if we could have about 75% contributing. Many of you give-and generously, too, but many don ' t. Remember as you read this letter (and some other essentials), that it costs $4.50 per '48er. See what you can do. You can even pledge if it suits better . Emily Smith Powers wrote Bett y Butterworth that Ginna Herndon Pugh and Alg ~r spent a week-end with Em and Jack when Alger's team played in Newport News. She says she stays busy, but had no special news. See you May 12-14? If you can 't make it, be sure to write. Next deadline is about March 10th. Mas. JonN W. BISCOEJR.

Jess will be aide and Flag Lieutenant to an Admiral who is presently on board the U.S.S. Independenc e in the Mediterranean. Jess will join him there early in Dec. and will return with the ship in Feb. This means chat the children and I will have Christmas without a daddy . We'll be in Richmond with my parents though. Then, in January, with (I hope) the house sold, the children and I will go to Mayporc, Fla., just east of Jacksonville , and start moving in before Jess gees back. We will be living aboard the base, but will have to wait about four months for our house. In the meantime we'll rent an apartn1ent in the area." Ruth Adkins Hill writes, " It is hard to re a lize chat we have been here (Richmond) for six months. I still lack living room and dining room draperies and much furniture, but we like our new home just fine." Incidentally, I saw Ruthie, Eleanor Dickson Campbell, Mary MacThomas Moran, Caroline Massey Shreve, Becky Webb Moran, Bev Eubank Evans, and an assortment of cute children, at a very nice "open house" that Elizabeth Ramos Dunkum gave in hon or of Pat MacDonald Allen in June. Elizabeth is quite an unflurried hostess an d has a lovely home . On Nov . 4, Bonnie Lewis Haynie, B. B. Harvey Strum, Elizabeth Dunkum, Caroline Shreve, Carolyn Moss Hartz an d I enjoyed a really delicious turkey dinner at Westhampton's Homecoming and were thoroughly entertained with the charming scenes and songs from the University Players' production of "The Fantascicks." We were all eager co speak to Dr. and Mrs. Rice-on 0cc. 14 Jean and Bob became the proud parents of a daughter. Babies usually end spur-of-the-moment plans, but this one "took in" her first football game at the tender age of two weeks! Mrs. Rice was amused that Bob had held her the entire game. They are charming grandparents. Marian Gates Greeden wrote, "Our third little boy, James Janssen, arrived Nov. 28. We have a girl, Carlie, 4, and two other boys, Eddie, 6, and Lucius, 19 months."

At Mrs. Booker's request, Martha Jordan Chukinas and I are working on starting a local (Danville) Alumnae Club here sometime after the first of the year. The only problem is to get someone to head the group. Neither Martha nor I feel capable of running a meeting although we 're willing to do all sorts of background work." Here 's tongue-in-cheek sympathy from all of us who know you both! Margaret Tabor Small enjoyed a trip to Ky. over Thanksgiving. Margaret is serving on the pulpit committee of her church, and says she visited with Jackie Feeman over lunch in Charlottesville in the fall.

Nancy Kipps Hughey says Ray is "making good progress " in fixing up three rooms and bath in their basement . Nancy found time to teach a G. A.

All the men have double and tr ip le work loads just now, and he had to make another trip to Cal. the middle of Dec. He and Kippy did get to her home during V.P.l.'s Homecoming and saw an exciting game. Gary Moore Barnes is busy with Garden Club work, serv ing as Garden Therapy Chairman. "Our project this year is presenting pro grams at the senior citizens apt. complex ... designed to create new interests for them, such as growing African violets, making Christmas decorations from odds and ends, creating miniature flower arrangements, and 'antiquing' flowers.''

C., spent a day at Cape Hatteras, and stayed two weeks with her family in Burkeville. In O ct. Mary Frances really traveled! She went all the way co San Francisco for her vacation.

The end of their vacation was climaxed by the wedding of Peggy Sue's sister, Ellen. Frank was an usher and Susan a flower girl. Peggy Sue extends an invitation to anyone who happens to be out that way (Columbus, Ohio) to stop for a visit. Another classmate to return home for a visit was Sally Riggan Clement.

Peggy 's son, Billy, age 3, is attending a cooperative nursery school two mornings a week. Peggy said that if he learns "simply to cooperate it will be worth the effort!" When she cold him he would ride in a car pool, he was sure that was something like a swimming pool, and he was all for the idea! I have the privilege of announcing some births. Kimberly Ann Boone arrived on Nov. 25, much to the delight of her parents, Alice Clement Boone and Chuck. Alice was honored with a baby shower a few weeks before and Becky Grissom Van Ausdall and Mande Donald Miller attended. Peggy Sue Roberts Ferebee and Frank are the proud parents of a boy, David Edwards, born Sept. 11. Sandra Motley Swain and Bob also welcomed a son, Robert L. Swain, Jr ., on Aug. 24.

"Living near the Pa. Turnpike is great," writes Clare . "We get many cross-country visitors, a state of affairs which we find delightful. " Later she and children flew to Newport News for Evalene Green's wedding where she saw many old friends and Westhampton colleagues, including Jane Morris Dobyns and Jeannette McWilliams Welsh.

Kitty Whitby Fiege writes chat she is enjoying her "retirement." She has a part-time job of reading and commenting on themes for three teachers, a task she finds interesting and enjoyable. Otherwise, Kitty is busy catching up on making daytime friendships, reading and doing handwork. Her present project is a bucilla cushion for the sofa. Em St. Clair enjoyed working in the Dean 's Office at MCV for five weeks this summer. Em is playing in a bridge club with Alice Jane Michael, who was a member of our class .

During the summer, Doris, Ollie and Ruth, now 2, spent a week at Westmoreland State Park with Sue Ludington Jones and Sam. This year she is teaching remedial reading in the newly-integrated school system. I was pleased to receive letters from some of the girls who do not have secretaries assigned to them . Remember, if you do not live in or near a big city, you probably do not have a secretary and should write directly to me . Gloria Viegener Price and George had a nice summer relaxing and barbequing in their back yard. George finished Law School this June and they celebrated by using their now free-from-study weekends to go antiquing. And from what I hear, both Gloria and George are real authorities on antiques. Ruthi Greenfield Zinn writes chat New York is really "uninhabitable" in the summer; the only thing which made it bearable was the pool on the roof of their apartment building. They did enjoy a respite for 10 days at a lovely resort in the mountains. Laura Jean, at 21 months, is like a little parrot, repeating everything you say, writes Ruthi. Steve is in his

Would love co hear from such people as Pat Crawford Lucky, Betsy Gathings Snook, Loretta Hines Miller, Roberta Huffman Davis, Edith Jones Middleton, Miriam Rothwell Livermon and many more too numerous to mention from whom we have heard little or nothing in such a long time! Maybe if they see their names in print, they 'll be inspired co write! I hope so. I am also in need of a new address for Nancy Rosenberger Weems who moved chis summer . Bob and I enjoyed a visit from Phyllis Jenkins Polhemus and Bob for a football weekend. Phyllis and Bob could relax and enjoy themselves completely , since they left their two daughters at home . We did have a grand reunion and talked until the wee hours. Paige celebrated her first birthday with a family party . I am learning to sew and attend a class once a week with the YWCA.

THE TORCH OF HONOR "National honor is national property of the highest value."

These words were spoken 150 years ago - in the First Inaugural Address of James Monroe, fifth President of the United States and author of the Monroe Doctrine. Today, these words mean more than ever. The bright flame of our national honor seems - at times - to flicker dangerously . If it is to burn on, it must be guarded well. It must be tended with dedication, responsibility, and tl:le willingness to sacrifice. James Monroe was well aware of this, and he gladl y accepted the sacrifices that duty entailed. Revolutionary soldier, statesman, President, he devoted his life to keeping bright that flame of national honor. The torch has passed through many hands. Today, it rests in ours. Let us guard it jealously. Let us never deprive it of the life-giving air of freedom.

Trouble ( Continued from page 21)

She needed assurance that she was not sinful and evil. She got that assurance. After more interviews she became more relaxed, poised. The worry over her inability to resist intimacy affected her strongly in other areas. Through talking it out, she worked it out. Miss Y was not a Westhampton girl. Dr. Grigg explains that the relationship between counseler-student is similar to that of physician-patient and lawyer-client. It is strictly confidential. He chose another example from another school. There was boy X, a sophomore upset over his selection of a vocation. He wanted to be a lawyer; he wasn't certain he was up to the standards he set for a lawyer. His parents had been educated modestly . An uncle was a very successful lawyer ; he

had set the uncle as his guide-post, sage of the clan, ideal, the epitome of brilliance and learning. Series of tests showed he measured up to his uncle in potential. His choice anxiety was dispelled. He needed verification of his goal choice. He got it; he straightened out. Again, as in the case of Miss Y, it was another school. But problems , like history , repeat themselves. These are examples of the vocational and the personal problems that come to the attention of Dr. Grigg, Mrs . Dickinson , Dr. Robert J . Filer, Dr. William H . Leftwich, Dr. Merton E. Carver and Dr. L. James Trotmater of the Psychology Department. Dr. Carver concentrates on reading problems, runs a reading improvement clinic for about 75 students a year. It's a purely voluntary , no-credit clinic, with facilities to handle 32 students a semester. Some come and go and others take their places. And the Center furnishes diagnostic testing for area public school children with reading problems. There 's a fee system for that. Among them, the Psychology Department faculty dedicates some 30 to 40 hours weekly to counseling. Dr. Grigg's schedule has him counseling one-fourth of the time. teaching the rest. For Mrs. Dickinson, it's half and half. Name most any problem except drug addiction and through the years they've run into it. The cases are rare, but there has been homosexuality and Lesbianism. There have been sexual intimacies and the guilt feeling that it frequently brings . There have been pregnancies and its myriad problems. There have been environmental and parental puzzles to untangle. And there has been unrequited love, lots of that. The biggest problem of them all, especially among male students, says Dr. Grigg: Dissatisfaction of the pursuit of unrealistic, unattainable or unliked goals set by parents. Some toss-in observat=ons and answers from Dr. Grigg on some toss-in questions : ... for reasons he hasn't fully analyzed, an extremely low percentage of ROTC students come through the Center. . . . athletes come through in about the same percentage as the entire student body ( a 200-pound tackle is as prone to psychological problems as a 97-pound weakling). . . . there has never been a student suicide on the University of Richmond campus. . . . there has never been a drug addiction problem brought to attention of the Center. . drinking problems are extremely rare. . city-oriented students are more apt to be bugged about grades, rural-oriented ones about conflicts in hom e values.
