Washington and Lee University, 1930- 2000 tells the history of one
of the nation's oldest colleges as it evolved to face changes in
higher education and in American society. In the early part of the
twentieth century, Washington and Lee was a small, all-male
institution known for its conservative inclinations, coats and
ties, social life dominated by fraternities, and venerable honor
system run exclusively by students. In the seven decades after
1930, the university confronted economic depression and world war,
and faced the challenges and opportunities posed by subsidized
athletics, integration, changing student customs and attitudes, new
emphases in higher education, and the controversial move to
coeducation. Each of the presidents who led the university during
this era encouraged Washington and Lee to adapt to new demands
while retaining its core traditions and identity. The alma mater of
three United States Supreme Court justices, over a hundred members
of congress and state governors, and winners of the Pulitzer,
Nobel, Tony, and Emmy awards, Washington and Lee University
receives a full and complex depiction in this authoritative
history.
