the Governor, the group normally meets four times a year but may also hold special sessions. The annual meeting in August is always held on the campus. Board appointments are for four -year terms except when they are made to fill unexpired terms. Original appointments to the Board were made on a staggered schedule, to make possible an orderly rotation of membership, but those members who served initial two-year terms were reappointed to four -year terms in 1966. Members of the original Board still serving and the terminal years of their current appointments are: B. Calvin Bass, Rice 1970; Ralph A. Beeton, Arlington, 1968; Dr. Duvahl Ridgway-Hull, '33 alumna of Roanoke, 1970; Mrs. Mosby Phlegar (Jane Royall, '33 alumna) of Norfolk, 1970; W. H. King, Burkeville, 1968; E. Angus Powell, Richmond, 1970; and John L. Whitehead, Radford, 1968.

E. Angus Powell, Rittur

A group of distinguished citizens is dedicated to helping Longwood achieve its goals of academic excellence and service to the State. Under the leadership of the Board of Visitors, three of whom are Longwood graduates, the College is preparing to make an even greater contribution to the Commonwealth than ever before in its 83 years as a state-assisted institution of higher learning. From 1928 until 1964 the College was under the management of the State Board of Edu- cation, which also supervised the State's public school system. The College had long felt that it needed a separate board of control to supervise its operations and was gratified at the action of the 1964 General Assembly that authorized a board that could devote its at- tention to the institution's needs, interests, and future developments—all of which require much f.udy and deliberation.

Composed t f eleven members, appointed by Henry G. Chesley, Jr., N'rl Rcitor At the annual meeting last August the Board, following a rotation plan, elected Mr. Powell as its third Rector. At the same session Mr. Chesley was elected Vice Rector and Mrs. Phlegar was reelected Secretary. The Board's executive committee, which also serves as the finance committee, consists of Mr. Powell, Mr. Chesley, and Mr. Bass. Mr. Daniel is chairman of the development committee which includes Dr. Ridgway-HuU and Mr. King. In its new Rector the Board has chosen an able leader who will be a persuasive spokes- man for Longwood. One of the State's top business executives, Mr. Powell is a man of broad interests and deep moral commitments. He has a keen sense of organization and likes to get things done. He has state-wide contacts and knows his way around legislative halls. The 53 -year -old Rector is a graduate of Harvard Business School with a Master's degree in Business Administration.

The Board of Visitors is mindful of Dr. Newman's loyal- ties to the College, and this action in no way reflects upon his character or integrity which the Board holds in high regard. It wishes Dr. Newman the highest degree of success in whatever he undertakes." Upon receiving the Board's statement Dr. Newman replied, in part, "There may be a difference of opinion as to the proper procedure in this case, as well as a difference of opinion on 'the overall well-being and progress of the College program.' The fact remains that there is no question as to the Board's authority to determine its own procedure,

and to take whatever action it thinks best . . . Longwood College is certainly serving a great need in higher education in Virginia. The College will always have my sincere interest and my very best wishes."

Dean Brooks served as acting chief executive officer, in addition to his other duties, until Mr. Wygal's arrival on July 17. No stranger to Longwood, after 18 months in 1962 and 1963 as interim president while Dr. Lankford was in Pakistan, Mr. Wygal calls himself a "pinch-hitter" in describing his role as the College's acting president on two occasions. It was Longwood's good for- tune that this prominent Virginia educator, so highly regarded in both public and higher educational circles, could be persuaded to interrupt his happy retirement routine to accept still another call to service from the Commonwealth. During the period of administrative change that brought the Wygals back to Farmville, Mr. Whitehead, on behalf of the Board of Visitors, issued a formal statement, portions of which said, "It is unfortunate when an able man finds himself in a position where his capabilities do not mesh successfully with the Dean Richard B.

Honor To Those Who Served Founders Day Ceremony Dedicates Buildings

March 18 was the occasion for the celebration of the eighty-third Founders Day, with a record attendance of well over 500 alumnae and friends. The keynote speech of the morning program in Jarman auditorium was delivered by Dr. Dabney S. Lancaster, President Emeritus of Longwood, who followed throughout his talk the triple theme of Tradition, Excellence, Challenge. He spoke of the college's traditional support of public education and of its role in preparing public school teachers, going back to the time of Dr. William Ruffner; of its tradition of training Christian character, and of the reputation of faculty and students for friendliness and concern for the individual. He commended the stress on excellence which demanded a quality education and high academic standards for the young women qualified to profit by the experience, referring to the selective admissions program initiated in his administration. Teaching as a career provided a personal challenge offered by few other vocations, and an institution which gave opportunity for the maximum development of the individual and prepared teachers for the state was meeting the challenge of the future. The program that followed consisted of short tributes to five of the retired Longwood staff whom the College has recently honored by dedicating a campus building to each: Worthy Johnson Crafts House (formerly known as the Home Management House); Samuel P. Graham Building (business and maintenance structures behind Ruffner); Oliver T. Her Building (new gymnasium unit);

We are reminded of the love and respect accorded Miss Her by her students by recalling that six classes selected her as class sponsor and the 1943 and 1964 issues of the year book, the Virginian, were dedicated to her. After her retirement in 1966, the Virginia Association of Health, Physical Education and Recreation cited "her distinguished service and outstanding contribution" to the profession by presenting her with their Distinguished Service Award. Tribute was paid to Miss Florence Stubbs as a pioneer in education by Maria Jackson Hall, who enumerated the achievements of this dedicated teacher whose services to Academic procession leads to Jarman Hall. the college extended from 1917 to 1954. Be- ginning her career six months after her own high school graduation as a teacher in a one room school. Miss Stubbs became an authority on rural education and a pioneer in race relations. In 1938 the Richmond Times Dispatch singled out twelve Virginians who had rendered superlative service to the state during the year—among them only one woman. Miss Florence H. Stubbs, who "conducted a course on the Negro that has been recognized throughout the state as a model type of instruction in the field of interracial relations," commended equally by white and negro educators. As a charter member of the Southern Sociological Society; as a member of boards of directors of the "Journal of Rural Education," the Cooper- ative Education Association of the Virginia commission on Interracial Cooperation, and of the Planned Parenthood, Miss Stubbs Dr. Frances Brown is hostess at head table during luncheon to Mrs. Charles Fishburne, Rev.

14 for fifty years. Founder and advisor of the leadership fraternity, Alpha Kappa Gamma, and for forty-eight years sponsor of a campus social sorority, she has had intimate influence on the lives of hundreds of young college women. "Scores of young women whom she trained to evaluate social problems with clarity and compassion, to live more effectively in their own community— could echo the words of one of her students: *I am sure that, loving to teach, she was stimulated herself by the students' response, so that there was an exciting interaction between student and teacher. Her faith and confidence in young people challenged them to develop their potential.' " On the night preceding the dedication of the new dormitory, a portrait of Miss Stubbs Mrs. Elizabeth S.

How I wish all of you could have been with us at our 25th reunion at Longwood this year. We had such a grand time —greeting, gabbing, and giggling. Approximately 35 members returned, including Norma Wood 'Van Kleeck from €n1 Poughkeepsie, N. Y. and Virginia Barksdale Rotter from Madison, N. J. We were so pleased and proud to have both our sponsors with us Rachel Royall '30 and Jane Royall Phlegar '33. Of course, Ellen Royall Story was there also. You can't out-do those Royall girls for loyalty and fun. We were greeted by a note from Helen Wentz Forbecker from Wellesley, Mass. and a telegram from Anne Ayers Butler from Woodside, Calif Anne sent a telegram for the 10th reunion too, and we certainly did appreciate both of them. Nancy Dupuy Wilson sent movies ot our graduarion all the way from Calif., and they were the highlight of the week-end. Dr. and Mrs. Jeffers joined us at the Weyanoke for the third showing. With a twenty-year-old pro- jector, a burned out plug, and Norma serving as electrician, we were practically in hysterics before the evening ended! At an informal meeting of the class, we voted to assist the Class of '38 in restoring the portrait of "Miss Mary". It was agreed we would do this in memory of our deceased class members. So far over S200 has been received. We hope each class member will want to have a part in Class of 'A2 enjoys reunion.
