JOHN FOSTER WEST
Place of Honor John Foster West came to Old Dominion College in 1958 as a professor of English with great interests in creative writing and journalism, both for his students and himself. For the past six years, he has been Faculty Advisor for student publications, and when Old Dominion College separated from the College of William and Mary, it was Professor West who was chairman of the committee that selected the names THE TROUBA DOUR and The Mace and Crown. He chose the mace and crown symbols and personally contracted an artist to draw them: the mace, only one of its type in our country, representing the City -of Norfolk which received it as a gift from the British, and the crown depicting our past relationship to the College of William and Mary. These symbols are indicative of Professor West s interest in establishing the college s heritage and traditions. Until Mr. West entered the University of North Carolina as a student, he lived in Wilkes County, North Carolina, twenty miles from the nearest small town. This environment among the folk of the remote rolling foothills proved a boon to his creative talent, for while still a teenager he penned two novels. His perception and knowledge of the folklore, language, and dialect of the North Carolina hill people appear in his 1965 novel TIME WAS published by Random House. TIME WAS and its author have been highly praised by literary critics such as playwright Paul Green, columnist Harry Golden, and publisher Bennett Cerf. Among Mr. West s other literary accomplishments, he is a poet who has read his works in THE ATLANTIC, LYRIC, and other magazines and has had his verses collected in up ego. Not only because of his national acclaim will his name remain in the history of Old Dominion College; the name John Foster West will live forever in our campus histories for it was he who composed the lyrics of our Alma Mater which ends with Old Dominion, new from old Hallowed halls have grown Giving refuge to the bold You now call your own. We are privileged and pleased to call you our own Professor W est 191
