"Fun in Its Own Way":
Moving into Venable
One Last Time
The first days of the academic
year bring 233 fresh?nen and,
for some upperclassmen, the
surprise of rekindled me?nories
On aday that should have been
bottled and kept for Homecoming,
the class of 1988 arrived at
Hampden-Sydney, with cars and
station wagons stuffed and spirits
high. Both sides of Gushing Road
and Via Sacra sparkled with
chrome and maroon and navy blue
and cream as tailgates and doors
opened and shut, as students and
parents and sisters and brothers
lifted and shoved and carried part
of someone's life from one world
into another.
About half of them moved into
Venable Hall, where freshmen
have lived for as long as memory
serves most of us. But — and here
the difference between this and
previous first days of schcxjl on the
Hill —they weren't supposed to
have moved into Venable. Last
year's freshmen were supposed to
have been the last students staying
in Venable for a while, since
Venable had been scheduled to
stand vacant this year, pending the
beginning of an extensive series of
renovations.
Veteran alumni, who like Jim
Alexander '78 recall their days in
Venable (and Gushing) as 'a Spar-
tan existence you hated every min-
ute of, but wouldn't trade the
memories of for the world," will
ask why Venable even needs reno-
vation. Ifwas good enough
it for
their generation, isn't it good
enough for a new one?
The answer, of course, is that
even if the new students are as
tough as their elders, Venable and
Gushing are not. Both dorms cele-
brate their one-hundred-sixtieth
birthday this year; Gushing was
begun in 1824 as a replacement for
all the college buildings of 1775-
is 1803, and Venable as the home of
Union Theological Seminary.
Venable and Gushing have survived
almost two hundred years despite —
the fact that they were heated with
fireplaces and open fires built by
students, and that there was once
gas lighting in them, and that teen-
aged men have never, even in
golden ages, been easy on their sur-
roundings; but the sheer tenacity
with which they survived is begin-

Dr. Joseph Goldberg
Receives NEH
Research Fellowship
Dr. Joseph E. Goldberg, associate
professor of political science at
Hampden-Sydney College,
recently awarded a National
Endowment for the Humanities
Fellowship for College Teachers.
Under the auspices of this research
fellowship, Ck)ldberg will complete
a book he is cTjrrently working on.
Entitled Uherty, Virtue, and
National Defense: The Preserva-
tinn of Liberal Denjocracy. (Gold-
berg's b(X)k will examine the aban-
dt)nment of public spirit in a liberal
democrac7 and its replacement with
private interest, and how this char-
acteristic of liberal democracy limits
the state's ability to preserve itself
in time of war. To work on the
lxK)k, Goldberg will take a sabbati-
cal from Hampden-Sydney, and
while away from the College, he
will serve as a senior research fel-
low at the National Defense Uni-
thinktank within the Pen-
versity, a
tagon and the National War
College headquartered at Fort
McNamara.
A Ph.D. graduate from the Uni-
versity of Washington, Gt)ldberg
joined the Hampden-Sydney

awarded the College's Cabell Dis-

after Schaeffer was inducted
alumni membership in Phi Beta
Kappa at the College in 1980, said
that Schaeffer "exemplified the
Hampden-Sydney devotion
spirit of
to the logical pursuit of truth by
insisting, with Plato, that the only
viable approach to an honest
expression of faith is a well-
examined one.' Schaeffer,"
continued, "has achieved world-
wide prominence for his rigorous
arguments that belief in God, and
in the infallibity of the Bible as the
Word of God, is rationally credible
and defensible, requiring no exis-
tential leap of faith'."
Schaeffer is the author of twenty-
two books, of which more than
3,000,000 copies have been sold in
the United States alone; they have
been translated into twenty-five
languages. Among them are Escape
from Reason, The God Who Is

To Prevail with Grace:
Alumni Remember
"Ned" Crawley
On the eleventh of April, 1984, Dr. Tho-
mas Edward Crawley, Hurt professor of
English, died after a long and heroic bout
with cancer. Crawley graduated from
Hampden-Sydney in 1941 with high
honors; he returned to teach in 1946 after
serving four years in the Navy, during
which he had risen to the rank of lieuten-
ant tximmander and won the Bronze Star.
For thirr)-eight years he taught English at
Hampden-Sydney; English was his first
love and he tried to make it the first love
of his students. He served also as Dean of
Students and Director of Admissions for
seven years, as director of the Glee Club of
many years, and was the first Faculty
Representative to the Board of Trustees
and one of the first two professors given
the Cabell Award for Distinguished
Teaching. He wrote The Structure of
Leuies of Grass and edited Four Makers of
the A?)iericun Mind: Emerson, Thoreau,
Whitman, and Melville. Crawley earned
his doctorate from the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill
Last spring we asked for memories of
Dr Crawley; here are some, in the words
of men whose minds bear still the stamp
of his partictilar joy in literature and life.
"In recent years," recalls Guy Terrill
71, "Iwrote Dr. Crawley about how diffi-
c"ult it was to work, participate in church
activities, maintain relationships, and
pursue an M.B.A. simultaneously. He
wrote back that this is what life is all
about. He encouraged me not t)nly to con-
tinue doing all those things but in addition
to broaden my horizons in musical litera-
ture. Such efforts, he finished, are neces-
sary to prevail with grace' —
the unique
accomplishment of his life and the chal-
lenge he lay before his students."
Ran Henry 79 admits: "Potential
careers in both histrionics and prophecy
began on the April day I attempted to
explain to Dr. Crawley his influence on
me. It was after a performance on a Shake-
speare test that suggested (even to the
unprophetic) that some things had been
left unread. 'Yes, Dr. Crawley,' 1 said, 'but

Parting Shots

Straining the rustic bridge of the

Slate Hill driveway, pushing aside
bushes, phone wires, and tree
trunks, an improbable vehicle
brought the Birthplace Natha- —
niel Venable's law office, in which
the College was founded to the —
campus forty years ago, in July
1944. The move was the brainchild
of Hampden-Sydney's librarian,
Mrs. Willa M. Boysworth. It was
accomplished, despite the rigors of
wartime, through the generosity of
the MacFarland brothers, who
donated the building; Willie Redd,
who borrowed and drove the truck;
Samuel Graham 11, business man-
ager of Longwood then ( the State
Teachers College), who advised on
the moving and restoration; and B.
L Taylor of Farmville who contrib-
uted the shingles at cost. The exte-
rior of the building was restored
this year to celebrate the anniver-
sary of its move.
