\n
\nI am proud that F&M continues to create those same formative experiences for today’s students. The physical campus may look different—with cutting-edge interdisciplinary academic facilities and College Houses that bring the life of the mind into students’ living rooms—but the spirit of the place is unchanged.
\n
\nWe’re empowering our students to set their sights high, compete for the opportunities they seek and create meaningful lives—as so many F&M alumni have done, including several you’ll meet in this magazine. The Office of Student and Post-Graduate Development, launched last fall, is developing a new paradigm to help students apply the skills they acquire through academic and co-curricular experiences to their pursuit of career opportunities and the transition to life beyond college.
\n
\nOur alumni have been instrumental to our success and to several programs that target distinct phases of the undergraduate experience. Sophomores celebrate the declaration of their majors together over dinner with their faculty and alumni representing the many career pathways that can be pursued from that disciplinary foundation. Through F&M’s Life After College Success program, juniors hear from a range of alumni who have achieved distinction in their fields, as well as participating in workshops that hone communication, networking and other skills vital in every walk of life. And we’ve built a network of hundreds of F&M alumni and parents who have offered to share their expertise by mentoring our students and recent graduates as they explore career options.
\n
\nWe’re working more purposefully to help students compete to land their first job, win prestigious national fellowships, and gain acceptance to top graduate and professional schools. We also know that the transition from the first job to the second, or from graduate school to the first job, is equally important in today’s economy. That’s why F&M has appointed a career adviser to work with our recent graduates who are navigating these crucial early transitions—as well as with alumni who are more advanced in their careers.
\n
\nI'm proud of the work the Office of Student and Post-Graduate Development is doing, and look forward to building on that success in the years to come. And five years from now, when the Class of 2013 returns for its first Reunion Weekend, I expect that their class history will reflect how this innovative resource helped connect them to the wider F&M family long before they graduated.
\n
\nMy warmest thanks to all of you who have reached out to our students and your fellow alumni as mentors or to help us identify extraordinary internship and career opportunities. If you’d like to get involved, please contact Associate Vice President for Student and Post-Graduate Development Beth Throne, J.D. ’95 at beth.throne@fandm.edu.

Effectively a composite oral history of post-WWII America, these remembrances highlighted not only the generational differences one might expect, but also the striking commonalities of the Franklin & Marshall College experience through time—formative intellectual and personal growth, the genesis of lifelong friendships, and graduating with the experience and confidence needed to tackle new challenges.\n\n\n\nI am proud that F&M continues to create those same formative experiences for today’s students.

Gray III ’63, the first African-American to become majority whip of the U.S. House of Representatives and former president and CEO of the United Negro College Fund, died July 1 in London while attending the Wimbledon tennis tournament with his son. He was 71.
\n
\nGray’s legacy at Franklin & Marshall includes the William H. Gray Jr. Scholarship Program, which he established in 1990 in his father’s name to provide financial aid to students from southeastern Pennsylvania. The College also created the Gray Scholars program in Gray’s honor to provide need-based financial aid to F&M students from backgrounds typically underrepresented in higher education.
\n
\nThe third-highest ranking Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1979 to 1991, Gray raised more than $2.3 billion for minority institutions as head of the United Negro College Fund, and also managed a $40 million USAid grant for South Africa, according to a biography on his company website. He later founded and was chairman emeritus of Gray Global Advisers, a business and government consulting firm, and continued to serve as a minister and preacher in Philadelphia.
\n
\n“Bill was a pillar of the Philadelphia community, a dedicated public servant, a Baptist preacher, and an inspirational mentor and friend to generations of African-American leaders,” F&M President Daniel R. Porterfield said in a message to the campus community reflecting on Gray’s contributions. “In his devotion to his fellow men and women and to the good of the country, Bill exemplified the Franklin & Marshall ethos of excellence and human flourishing through service.”
\n
\nBorn Aug. 20, 1941, in Baton Rouge, La., Gray moved to Philadelphia with his family when he was 8. After graduating from F&M in 1963, Gray received a master’s of arts degree in divinity from Drew Theological Seminary and in theology from Princeton Theological Seminary.

\nDuring his tenure in Congress, Gray helped shape U.S. foreign policy and contributed to policies on international aid and development. He spearheaded legislation that imposed economic sanctions against South Africa and later served as the special adviser to the president and to the secretary of state on Haiti during the Clinton administration.
\n
\n“While Bill was known as a groundbreaker—he was the first African-American to chair the budget committee, and the first African-American majority whip—it was not these firsts that moved Bill,” said F&M Trustee Stan Brand ’70, who served as general counsel to the U.S. House of Representatives under Speaker Thomas P. “Tip” O’Neill. “It was, in his words, the desire to perform mission that propelled him. And he pursued mission for the underserved and underrepresented with a passion, commitment and voracity that was unrivaled. He will stand as a giant in an era of tremendous political and social advancement.”
\n
\nGray was a College trustee from 2004 to 2012 after an earlier term that started in 1986. As an alumnus and trustee, Gray “found ways to support and mentor new generations of leaders growing up after him, particularly in the African-American community,” Porterfield said.
\n
\nThe Gray Scholars program named in his honor reflected the values he lived. “In addition to financial aid, Gray Scholars receive special opportunities for leadership development and support for activities that cultivate their character while nourishing their intellectual gifts,” Porterfield said.
\n
\nGray’s involvement in politics and activism flourished at F&M. He had a close relationship to the late Martin Luther King Jr. and drove King to the College when the civil rights leader spoke on campus in the early 1960s. Later, on the advice of his late mentor, Professor of Government Sid Wise, Gray accepted an internship with his local congressman, whom he subsequently unseated in an election.
\n
\nIn expressing condolences to Gray’s wife, Andrea Dash Gray, whom Gray married in 1971, and sons Andrew, Justin and William IV, Porterfield described Gray as “a remarkable man, both humble and strong.”
\n
\n“The world is a better place for his work in it,” Porterfield said. “We are grateful for his life and will miss him deeply.”"}],"slug":"/magazine/magazine-issues/summer-2013/summer-2013-articles/2013/08/14/he-will-stand-as-a-giant:body1"},"published":true,"slug":"/magazine/magazine-issues/summer-2013/summer-2013-articles/2013/08/14/he-will-stand-as-a-giant","path":"home/legacy-blog/news/magazine/magazine-issues/summer-2013/summer-2013-articles/he-will-stand-as-a-giant","level":7,"rank":15,"orphan":true,"reorganize":false,"sortTitle":"he

\nThe NASA mission aims to learn the interior composition of neutron stars and whether future space travelers can use the stars’ pulsating light to navigate through the cosmos. As a neutron star spins, powerful beams of light sweep around from its two magnetic poles like cosmic lighthouses. Viewed from Earth, the beams are pulsating flashes of light—the reason for the stars' other name, pulsars.
\n
\nPredictable pulsations make pulsars reliable celestial clocks. If a pulsar’s light is irregular, Lommen helps determine what causes the deviation that hinders the light’s arrival—ion clouds, gravitational waves, or an error by the Earth clock used to time the light.

\n“College has made a marvelous difference in my life,” he explained in his letter, dated March 19, 1992. “I would like to enable some other bright young men and young women to have the same opportunity, which they otherwise would not have had because of economic constraints.”

Porterfield (above, left) in June, establishing as Heacock’s legacy the John G. (“Jack”) and Jean C. Heacock, Jr., Class of 1942, Endowed Scholarship Fund. It will provide need-based scholarships to generations of students beginning in the fall of 2014.

\n“This gracious and generous gift from Mr. Heacock and his family exemplifies the spirit and tradition of giving back and fostering student success that reflects the values of Franklin & Marshall College,” Porterfield said. “Gifts like these allow the College to meet the full financial need of talented students who will receive the lifelong education that Mr. Heacock valued.”
\n
\nThe new scholarship’s other namesake, Heacock’s wife of 27 years, Jean, died in 1982. In his letter, Heacock said that to build on the legacy he created, he hoped recipients of his aid would, when they were financially capable, “recycle” the aid they received so F&M could provide aid for future “needy students who show promise.”
\n
\nA consistent donor of modest amounts to F&M for more than half a century, Heacock was penniless when he first entered the College, two years after his father died of tuberculosis. Heacock’s niece said his sister, Grace (Hunt’s mother), would send him money to make sure he had enough to eat.
\n
\nHunt said Heacock was always thankful for the opportunity to get an education that propelled him into the field of science, first working on the Manhattan Project—the U.S. government’s top-secret effort that built the atomic bomb, ending World War II—and then in geophysics.
\n
\nHeacock’s work on the Manhattan Project included improving the design of the mass spectrometer ion collector, used to evaluate the effectiveness of uranium isotope separation. This led him into the field of geophysics research. He sailed on submarines measuring Earth’s gravitational pull at sea. During this period, 1948-49, he discovered and named the 1,700-mile-long Middle America Trench, a 21,880-foot-deep subduction zone in the eastern Pacific Ocean where one tectonic plate slides under another."}],"slug":"/magazine/magazine-issues/summer-2013/summer-2013-articles/2013/08/14/heacock-s-1-million-gift-adds-to-f-m-s-scholarships:body1"},"published":true,"slug":"/magazine/magazine-issues/summer-2013/summer-2013-articles/2013/08/14/heacock-s-1-million-gift-adds-to-f-m-s-scholarships","path":"home/legacy-blog/news/magazine/magazine-issues/summer-2013/summer-2013-articles/heacock-s-1-million-gift-adds-to-f-m-s-scholarships","level":7,"rank":6,"orphan":true,"reorganize":false,"sortTitle":"heacock s 1 million gift adds to f m s scholarships","highSearchText":"heacock s 1 million gift adds to f m s scholarships magazine magazine issues summer 2013 summer 2013 articles 2013 08 14 heacock s 1 million gift adds to f m s scholarships hartman green magazine summer13 peter durantine","highSearchWords":["heacock","s","1","million","gift","adds","to","f","m","scholarships","magazine","issues","summer","2013","articles","08","14","hartman","green","summer13","peter","durantine"],"lowSearchText":"heacock s 1 million gift adds to f m s scholarships magazine magazine issues summer 2013 summer 2013 articles 2013 08 14 heacock s 1 million gift adds to f m s scholarships hartman green magazine summer13 peter durantine when he died last fall at age 91 john g heacock 42 inset photo left a letter that explained why he wanted to bequeath 1 million to support financial aid for students at franklin marshall college as a poor boy whose father had been ill for 10 years and died when i was 15 i was only able to go to college because my uncle a methodist minister invited me to live at his parsonage in lancaster co in order to be able to go to f m wrote heacock who majored in physics at f m then went to work on the manhattan project and later in life became an ordained minister college has made a marvelous difference in my life he explained in his letter dated march 19 1992 i would like to enable some other bright young men and young women to have the same opportunity which they otherwise would not have had because of economic constraints heacock s niece charlotte hunt above right and her family drove from virginia to present the letter and a 1 million check to f m president daniel r porterfield above left in june establishing as heacock s legacy the john g jack and jean c heacock jr class of 1942 endowed scholarship fund it will provide need based scholarships to generations of students beginning in the fall of 2014 this gracious and generous gift from mr heacock and his family exemplifies the spirit and tradition of giving back and fostering student success that reflects the values of franklin marshall college porterfield said gifts like these allow the college to meet the full financial need of talented students who will receive the lifelong education that mr heacock valued the new scholarship s other namesake heacock s wife of 27 years jean died in 1982 in his letter heacock said that to build on the legacy he created he hoped recipients of his aid would when they were financially capable recycle the aid they received so f m could provide aid for future needy students who show promise a consistent donor of modest amounts to f m for more than half a century heacock was penniless when he first entered the college two years after his father died of tuberculosis heacock s niece said his sister grace hunt s mother would send him money to make sure he had enough to eat hunt said heacock was always thankful for the opportunity to get an education that propelled him into the field of science first working on the manhattan project the u s government s top secret effort that built the atomic bomb ending world war ii and then in geophysics heacock s work on the manhattan project included improving the design of the mass spectrometer ion collector used to evaluate the effectiveness of uranium isotope separation this led him into the field of geophysics research he sailed on submarines measuring earth s gravitational pull at sea during this period 1948 49 he discovered and named the 1 700 mile long middle america trench a 21 880 foot deep subduction zone in the eastern pacific ocean where one tectonic plate slides under another","searchSummary":"When he died last fall at age 91, John G.

\nMembers of Franklin & Marshall’s Class of 2013 face challenges in the 21st century that demand they be agents of change, former Ambassador Melanne S. Verveer said during the College’s Commencement ceremony May 11.
\n
\nVerveer, who from 2009 to 2012 served as the United States’ first ambassador-at-large for global women’s issues, noted in her Commencement address that immense progress has been made in technology, science and medicine during the lives of F&M’s 590 graduating participants. However, she said society continues to struggle with issues such as gender inequity, violence and depletion of natural resources.
\n
\n“With all the progress we have made, the toughest challenge remains to transform human behavior,” Verveer told a crowd of more than 4,000 in F&M’s Alumni Sports & Fitness Center. “History also tells us that we must try to reconcile our differences, to create opportunities, to engage in service no matter what profession we pursue, to empower others who are powerless—to be change-makers.”
\n
\nThe College conferred a series of annual awards at the ceremony, including the highest recognition for students, faculty members and professional staff. Alexis Teevens ’13 (pictured at left) received the Williamson Medal, F&M’s most prestigious award to a graduating senior. Teevens achieved summa cum laude honors while running cross country and track, becoming a leader in Kappa Delta sorority, playing flute in the Symphonic Wind Ensemble, tutoring at the Writing Center and performing a wide range of community service.
\n
\n“As we get ready to leave this school, I hope we can all remember that vibrant community anywhere starts with one person reaching out to help another,” said Teevens, an American studies major and applied mathematics minor from Westborough, Mass.
\n
\nThe Commencement ceremony was part of a yearlong series of events celebrating the anniversary of the College’s founding in 1787. In honor of the 225th anniversary, the Commencement Wind Ensemble performed the piece “CCXXV,” written by John Carbon, F&M’s Richard S. and Ann B. Barshinger Professor of Music.

This is a fast-paced book about kids with real-life problems, and about friendship and choices. (namelos, 2013)\r\n

“Break It Down and Make It Plain: ‘Proclaiming Freedom to Prisoners’”

In this book, the author expounds on the literal meaning of being a Muslim. She explains that we are a submitter (Muslim) if and when we submit our mind, heart, and actions to God’s will. From this perspective, the book appeals not only to those who profess a Muslim identity, but to all who strive to find answers to their existential questions and submit to their creator.

\nFrances Wolf ’96
\n
\n \r\nThe Night Visitor\r\nBy Tom Lashnits ’71
\n
\nI saw my old friend Phil last night.
\n
\nI was sitting in my office, looking out to the main room through a glass wall. Someone had pasted a notice on the glass, and I stood up to see what it might be. As I circled my desk, Phil appeared in the doorway, tall and thin with bushy black hair and his big familiar smile.
\n
\nHe came into my office as though nothing had happened. He was walking a little funny, but gave his usual throaty laugh.
\n
\n“Phil!” I said in astonishment. “You’re here!”
\n
\n“Yeah, I was visiting some people down the hall,” he said. “So I thought I’d come by and say hello.”
\n
\nHe had some papers tucked under one arm. As he set them down on my desk, I noticed he was using crutches. They were metal, the kind that go halfway up your forearms.
\n
\nHis gaze followed mine down to his arms and legs. Then he gave me a sly grin. “Yeah, I recovered,” he said. “I’m okay…all except my legs. They don’t work too well, so I have to use crutches.”
\n
\nI still couldn’t believe Phil was in my office. But his laugh was real. The papers he’d dropped on my desk were covered in what looked like Chinese characters. I pointed at them, trying to regain my composure. “So what are these papers?”
\n
\n“I’ve got to hand these out to some people.” Realizing I was puzzled by the strange lettering, he said, “I’ve been doing a lot of traveling.”
\n
\n“That’s good,” I nodded. “Where to?”
\n
\n“I’ve got to get going.” Ignoring my question, he picked up the papers. As he turned to leave, he dropped one of his crutches, but kept right on going out the door. I bent over and picked up the crutch. It was cold in my hand.
\n
\nPhil peeked back in the room. “Oops, forgot my crutch,” he chuckled.
\n
\nI handed it to him. He slipped it onto his arm, then turned and hobbled out. “Good to see you, man,” he called back as he disappeared down the hall.
\n
\nAbout ten years ago, Phil offered to treat me to lunch. He’d taken early retirement from our company, but he lived nearby and often dropped over to see old friends. My office was near the front of the building, so when he pulled up in his Corvette and honked, I threw on my jacket, went out the door and slid into the front seat.
\n
\nI noticed, as he drove, that he handled the steering wheel in a funny way. His fingers were bent over. I wondered if something was wrong, but he was talking and joking, the same old Phil. How could anything be wrong?
\n
\nAcross the lunch table, again things seemed awkward—was something the matter with his hands? I decided he should be the one to bring it up if he wanted to. I searched his eyes, trying to offer a non-verbal signal that it was okay to tell me if something was wrong. But his conversation, his attitude, his demeanor all indicated everything was normal.
\n
\nAfter lunch, Phil dropped me back at work, laughing and joking as usual. We’d had a good time. “So long,” I said as I closed his car door.
\n
\n“Bye bye,” he called.
\n
\nThe next day I heard the news. The whole office was buzzing. After our lunch, Phil had gone home, written a note to his wife and daughter, gulped down a bottle of pills, laid down on a bed, and died. He’d commited suicide.
\n
\nWhy? What happened? Everyone wanted to know.
\n
\nPhil had ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease. He’d been hiding it from everyone except his family. It’s a progressive, fatal disease.            No cure.
\n
\nNo way out. We could only guess what might have gone through his mind: he didn’t want to be the object of sympathy, didn’t want to become a burden, didn’t want to subject himself to the indignities of inevitable decline.
\n
\nSo he’d ended it on his own terms.
\n
\nPhil, I don’t know if you did the right thing. Who am I to judge? All I know is that it’s been ten years, and I still miss you.
\n
\nBut thanks. Thanks for coming to my door last night in my dreams.
