Officially titled “Mood Indigo,” the undated painting is the creation of Evelyn Dawson Wynn (c. 1909–1990), a painter, dancer and fashion designer. Her husband, the late Larry Wynn ’34, donated her pieces to W&L. The painting graces Payne Hall thanks to Suzanne Keen, interim dean of the College. As department chair when the Payne Hall renovation wrapped up, she got to select new artwork for the building. “I love color- field images, and the super-saturated violet really caught my eye,” Keen said. “I relished the idea of the students passing into the Purple Zone where the poets are, up there on the third floor of Payne Hall.

15 Generals’ Report Along the Colonnade

J r Photos by Kevin Remington and PatricK Hinely ’73

It was April 2009, in Richmond, a conference about energy management sponsored by the Jessie Ball duPont Fund. The Washington and Lee attendees included Steve McAllister, vice president for finance and treasurer. The organization, which encourages the colleges it supports to reduce energy consumption, had asked each of the 30 institutions to supply information about their energy use per square foot. It handed out the results. IW&L hovered at the bottom, with one of the highest consumption rates. “It was horrible,” remembered McAllister. “My jaw fell to the floor and I slunk down in my seat as I realized W&L was at the bottom. That was the eye-opener that told us we needed to do something.” The mortification of that moment galvanized W&L into action. Four years later, the University has an energy master plan, an energy-savings project and a campus-wide educational effort. All of that has produced significant results: savings of money and energy, to be sure, as well as a renewed sense of ownership and partnership across the campus community.

You can also see, when you walk down a hallway, that your peers are making that effort. Not only did this save us a lot of time, but we found that our students really did a good job of complying. Even in those cases where there was not a completed checklist on the door, they had usually done everything we asked.” As Stewart and Trimmer have discovered, saving energy is a matter of careful planning and constant conversation with the people who live and work in the various spaces around campus. During the winter break, for instance, the two spent many hours planning which rooms and buildings the students on athletic teams would be occupying when they returned for practices and games in the middle of the break. They also worked with custodial staff in buildings where there might be changes in the scheduled Language Academies, and nearly every residence hall was full.” opening and closing times. One major initiative in the past two years has been planning for campus shutdowns during vacation periods, when offices and residence halls are not fully in use. “We just went through our second winter-break shutdown, and I think we saw significant “I’ve been amazed at the improvements from number of people who felt they could the first year even as we changed our approach,” continue to do their little bit toward saving said Trimmer. “In the first energy and be part of a larger effort.” year, Jane and I actually went into every space— — Morris Trimmer, energy education specialist residence hall rooms, fraternity and sorority house rooms, campus offices—to check that windows were closed and electric devices, including computers and refrigerators, were unplugged. “When it came to the student rooms this time, we distributed printed Jane Stewart, checklists and asked energy education Morris Trimmer, students to indicate specialist, on energy education specialist, those things that they the roof of the atop Doremus Gym. had done and to tape Commons. the completed checklist to the door.

Wilson was a familiar figure at athletic events as well as theater and music performances. In discussing the construction of the Lenfest Center and its importance to the arts at W&L, Wilson said that “our physical plant and our curriculum would mean noth- ing without our students. I love being with them. It’s a pleasure to attend games, lectures, concerts.” Wilson received numerous honors and awards, including a 1984 Ring-tum Phi Award for outstanding service for “demonstrating the courage to force the university to reexamine itself, primarily with regard to the current coeducation study.” He was in- ducted into Omicron Delta Kappa, the national honorary leadership society founded at W&L, in 1983. In 1987, he received the Duffy Daugherty Award from Michigan State for his athletic career there. In 1989, he was elected to the GTE Aca- demic All-America Hall of Fame, also for his college athletic career. In 2000, he received Virginia Tech’s Ruffner Medal, its highest honor, for service and dedication to Virginia Tech. President Charles Steger wrote on that remembering john wilson occasion, “Virginia Tech would not be the comprehensive university that it is today had it not been for John Wilson’s “He is remembered for his keen intellect and a fearless leadership style that vision and leadership in setting the intellectual agenda of the university as helped position both schools [Virginia Tech and Washington and Lee] for the its first provost.” future.” —TheR oanoke Times Wilson belonged to Phi Beta “John Wilson was the embodiment of the liberal arts ideal, and his eloquence Kappa, Phi Alpha Theta, the Associa- in expressing its values brought a unique beauty and clarity to their purpose.” tion of American Rhodes Scholars and —Larry Boetsch ’69 the Virginia Foundation for Indepen- dent Colleges.

As in past years, comparisons of expenditures within the top 25 group of liberal arts colleges reveal that we consis- tently spend a higher percentage of our budget for educational expenditures than the peer average (61.6 percent versus 53.2 percent). However, our aggregate expenditures per student fall below the average expenditure per student of the peers by $7,000. While the results from operations reflect a deficit, we do not formally budget for depreciation ($11.8 million). We do, however, pursue significant fund-raising to support the capital program, and many of these commitments are made but al- located to the project in a different year. This adjustment from temporarily restricted to unrestricted operations is made in the non-operating activity section of the financial statements.
