DR. KISSINGER'S SPEECH Center ROOTS OF CONFLICT 1 TRIBUTE TO JESSAMYN WEST McPHERSON 5 ON CAMPUS 7 LAW SCHOOL 13 OLD ACQUAINTANCES 14 The President's Corner

n this issue of THE ROCK we are reporting on two matters, both Iimportant to the College, but otherwise very dissimilar. The first is the great success of the Society Second Recognition Dinner. It was gratifying to see so many people gathered together out of their affection for and interest in this historic College. Many were alumni, many were friends, and many, we hope, who were strangers to Whittier, will become friends. Dr. Henry A. Kissinger was, of course, the "star" of the evening and his speech was both interesting and thought-provoking. You can read it in the center pages of this magazine, which will enable those of you who were not present to share something of the evening that was experienced by over 1,000 guests. We are grateful to Trustee Ruth Shannon and Mr. Shannon for their help in arranging for Dr. Kissinger to be with us. The other event to be recorded in this issue expresses our "sorrow following upon joy." The death of Jessamyn West McPherson, noted author, former Trustee and graduate of the Class of 1923, affected all of us. In her writing she had the knack of involving the reader, so that even those who did not have the privilege of knowing Jessamyn personally, felt a kinship with her. There is a tribute to her in these pages, and the next issue of the maga- zine will include some reminiscences of alumni/ae who had attended her classes, as well as comments by two members of the faculty who were among her close friends. We will not see her like again. Eugene S. Mills The Roots of Conflict

"Roots of Conflict "is the title of a presentation made by Professors Mike McBride and Fred Bergerson of the political science department and moderated by Professor Joe Fairbanks of the history department. It was first presented at the Whittier Institute of International Understanding, co-sponsored by the College and the American Friends Service Committee; it also formed part of an "On Campus " television show and most recently was given at a luncheon for the John Greenleaf Whittier Society members on January 21, 1984.

2 Fairbanks: Whenever you talk about the Cold War, of course you have to talk about Yalta. The Russians felt perfectly willing to allow the United States to have a sphere of influence in the Western hemisphere, but thought we were denying them the same privilege in Eastern Europe. They didn't think that was fair. However, President Truman didn't think in those terms at all, his premise was that Com- munism was bad and had to be stopped wherever it was.

Bergerson: I think we should also look at those who derive some benefit from the Cold War. Rivalry between Russia and America is by no means primarily based on this, but I think there's a certain perpe- tuation in the idea that military forces desire bigger and more modern weapons.

1902-1984 February 22, 1984, O Jessamynn West McPherson, author, graduate of the Class of 1923 and a Trustee from 1969- 1982, died. She is mourned by friends and admirers throughout the world and especially by those at Whittier College, who felt a particular closeness to this coura- geous and exceptional woman. On Friday, March 2, led by Chaplain Jonathan Moody, members of the College community gathered in the Memorial Chapel in celebration of her life. In his remarks, President Eugene S. Mills spoke of her devotion to her alma mater and shared some of his memories of her humor and her innate friendliness.

In 1979 and 1980, two articles appeared which captured both her sense of humor and her spirit. The first, by Mickey Friedman in the San Francisco Examiner, quoted a story of her undergraduate days. "Miss West," Friedman reported her as saying she was told by Herbert Harris in an English class, "will you please try to curb your imagination." She had caused some consternation with a paper entitled "Braided Eyebeams," about the glances of a courting couple, which Dr. Harris found "suggestive!" Another example of her sense of humor comes from her 1959 Commencement address. She was speaking of the debasement of language today and said: "When Zest means soap, when Charm is a brassiere, when Old Quaker is not an octogenarian member of the Religious Society of Friends, but a fifth of whiskey, God send us another Emerson.
