IW The forgotten memoir of a Northwest Di pioneer and UPS visionary, the Rev. David C. LeSourd

He was born October 4, 1841, and grew up in a log cabin on a frontier farm in How.

ard County, Indiana, the 10th of 12 children in his family. His grandfather, John Peter

LeSourd, had arrived in the colonies as a French soldier during the American Revolution

and was at Yorktown when Cornwallis surrendered.

Along with every other young man he knew, he enlisted for the Union during the

Civil War. He fought in Sherman's army during its long and terrible March to the Sea, the

path of which years later could be traced by the chimney stacks that posted the landscape

where once grand plantation houses stood. He watched Atlanta burn, bivouacked in

Savannah and Columbia, and at war's end paraded in review past the White House.

He had only 20 months' schooling before attending college, but excelled there and

emerged in 1870 a licensed Methodist minister.

He came to the Northwest with his young family in 1881 and soon made a reputation

as a clear thinker and an assiduous worker. As a pastor he was beloved. A member of his

congregation wrote of him, "Just to look into his face was a benediction. Another said

he "seemed the very embodiment of modesty, kindness, and sacrificial spirit.

During the course of his life he lost his wife, a son, and a daughter.

In Tacoma he built the second Epworth Church building—on the site of the current

structure at Anderson and South 7th—and a house at the corner of Warner and North

8th. Starting in 1884, he helped plan what would become the University of Puget Sound,

guiding it from the brink of financial ruin several times, finally to stability and renown.

He retired from the university Board of Trustees in 1913. In 1908, the year his son Gilbert

graduated from UPS, the board conferred upon him an honorary doctor of theology.

He died at home in Tacoma on Tuesday morning, February 25,1925 . >>

Gordon Cooke '67 is a listener, a risk taker, and the creator of

) a business culture inspired by literature I by Sandra Sarr

Gordon Cooke makes it his business to find out what women want—well, what they want to wear at least. When Cooke, CEO and president of women's apparel retailer J. Jill, first began consid­ ering the top post at what was then four little-known catalogs distributed by DM Manage­ ment, he had never heard of the company. In eight years he has transformed J. Jill into a premier national brand. "We're very pleased to be able to grow so quickly, in effect, from nothing," says Cooke, sitting in his corner office of gleaming glass and wood at J. Jill's Boston headquarters. The secret, he says, isn't just about selling clothes. "It's about creating a culture and lifestyle that both our employees and our customers can relate to."

A LISTENER TALKS The bear-sized CEO, clad in corduroys and a blue pullover that matches his eyes and sets off curly near-white hair, will catch a plane for New York in 90 minutes, but for now he focuses on something he does well: Talking about J. Jill. When Cooke took over, the company's annual sales totaled $15 million. Last year they reached $450 million. Since 2000 J. Jill has opened 150 stores nation- ^ wide (with plans to double that) and launched a Web site where their mostly 35-and-older customers can purchase the private-label clothing, shoes, and ac- d cessories known for their comfort and individual style. M While J. Jill the company is growing, its clothing is shrinking. Literally. "The clothes were—what would be a kind way to say it? They were oversized," he says. JHj Cooke listens to women's desires through focus groups, and telephone and e-mail interviews, trying to understand how they feel about his prod- Hra ucts. He discovers what different kinds of customers relate to, -JmHPII where they shop, and why. ■ -i "Some of the things they said we didn't want to hear, but actually r; we needed to. The word frumpy came out, and we went, 'O.K., so they |||||||||| think we're frumpy.' We held on probably a little too long to the over- sized style of dressing," he says. "We've added color, updated silhou- ettes and fabrications, and improved our fit and overall quality. We're in the fashion business, so we need to move with the times," Cooke says. "We can make clothing more attractive and still address the needs of the body as we all grow older. You can still look sexy."

OASIS OF SERENITY Something else Cooke knows from listening: Women don't want to be hassled. "Her time is limited. She wants her shopping experience to be efficient and of a less hectic nature. She wants to walk directly from her car into the store, pause to have lunch, and not in a food court. She wants a better experience," he says, noting a trend toward so-called lifestyle centers.

8 University groundskeepers know what plants grow best under a canopy of fir, the proper way to prune rhododendron, and just the right amount of water to keep the fields green all summer, but they also have a sense of history. Above, a selection of items they have dug up on campus over the years and saved. 1: These two bottles were found on the west side of Elliott House when a utility line was put in for the Peyton Field renovation. 2, 3: Doorknob and ink bottle unearthed near Kilworth Chapel while moving large rhododendrons from behind Thompson Hall to prepare for the construction of Schnee- I beck Concert Hall. There were signs of an old dump pile a few feet down. 4, 5: Found on Todd Field when it was regraded in 1999. The sales tax token dates to the '30s. 6, 7: Found during earth work for the new baseball field. 8: A surveyor's pin. No one remembers where it came from. 9: A staff member shoveling out window wells at one of the Union Avenue houses found this. What was it for, Fred? 10: Replacing a white pine on the south side of Jones Hall last spring, the stump grinder hit this about two feet down, a plaque placed by Kappa Phi sisters when they planted the original tree. (Our gratitude to Tim Kazele, university grounds supervisor for 11 years, recently gone out on his own, for tellinq us about this stash.) You carry it with you. When you invested in your education, you invested in v your future. And so did thousands of alumni donors to the Puget Sound Fund who generously made up the difference between your tuition expenses and the actual cost of your education.

Long after graduation, no matter where you go or what you do, you carry your Puget Sound education with you. Each year, thousands of promising students follow in your foot­ steps. Please take a moment to make a difference in the lives of students who need your help.
