The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 3

BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION

Graduate study!

The connotation of those two words to the average Agnes Scott graduate is quite
different today from what it was fifteen years ago. Even then there were a few
pioneer souls who pushed on in the field of education and attained degrees higher
than a B.A., but the majority of Agnes Scott graduates during those years were
quietly satisfied to frame their diplomas and settle into matrimony or school teaching.

The Southern woman's problem has been, in several respects, a little different from
that of her sister in the North or West. For a number of years after this prejudice had
been outworn in other sections of the country, Southern families did not take seriously
the acquiring of an academic degree by a woman. In the early days at Agnes Scott,
the students wanted to leave college in the early spring. Why wait and take exam-
inations? They did not care at all about getting a degree, nor even receiving credit
for the year's work. The strange part is that they were staunchly upheld in this
position by their families. Nancy or Sallie or Bessie would probably be married
sooner or later anyway. What good would a degree or college credits possibly do her
then?

Marriage was, of course, the great career. While waiting to embark on this
career, a young Southern lady, like Mrs. Micawber, "lived at home with her papa and
mamma." If the waiting drew itself out a bit, or the family were distressingly em-
barrassed financially, the daughter of the house might teach school a pleasant 'and
easy occupation practically the only occupation for daughters of the first families.

Another idea that is still largely current in the South is that with marriage any
other career ceases for a woman. Married women no matter how successful a start
they may have made in some profession do not, as a rule, work. Whether this old
idea will completely crumble under the onslaught of present day living conditions is
a moot question in the South today. But it has crumbled somewhat. A few Southern
married women are continuing careers; a few Southern married women are doing that
unheard of thing carrying on an organized course of study with some university.

Teaching continues to be the greatest door open to Southern college women. The
teaching profession is so overcrowded that the holder of a B.A. degree finds herself
pushed into the background by the master's and doctor's degees among her competi-
tors. If she is to hold her own, she, too, must acquire a higher degree. The married
woman who, after several years spent in the quiet sheltered back-water of her home,
comes out again to join the main current of the workers of the world, finds that she
is rusty on a number of things she must do a little graduate work to get herself back
into the "feel" of things.

Twenty-one members of the class of '27 are engaged in graduate study this winter.
By leaps and bounds, the percentage of our graduates who study for higher degrees is
increasing. Girls who are not financially able to carry on their studies the year fol-
lowing graduation teach a year or two, and then enter some university. Graduates
some of them married women from the early nineteen hundreds' classes are (to use a
late nineteen hundreds' term) crashing the gate of universities and matriculating for
graduate study.

The merits and disadvantages of the various centres chosen for their later work
form one of the chief topics of conversation at informal gatherings of alumnae at
the Anna Young Alumnae House.

"When I think that I saved three years, and then went to the wrong place for
my master's in English!" wails one.

"Knowing what I do now about the department of psychology at Such-and-Such,
I thank my lucky stars every day that I chose it," breathes another, with a satisfied

4 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

" And I came so near going West for that work!"

"I wouldn't take a million for that winter I spent in New York," vows one girl,
while another answers her with: "And I shouldn't advise anybody to do graduate
work in that mob."

"Is it very expensive to spend a year studying abroad?" "Where is the best place
for sociology?" "Aren't there any good graduate schools in the South? Are we as
provincial as all that?" are questions heard over and over in these informal discussions.

And so for the benefit of numbers of the alumnae who are scattered here and
there, working out their problems alone, unable to get back to these Alumnae House
gatherings, yet deeply interested in the subject, we have planned in this Quarterly six
or eight very informal articles on graduate work by Agnes Scott people.

They are most decidedly not ads for these specific universities and schools. Several
years ago it looked as if Agnes Scott girls did not know any other graduate school
than Columbia existed, judging from the number who went there. In these short
sketches we strive to put before you old Agnes Scott girls the existence and possibilities
of other universities, too North, West, in our own South, and abroad.

DOING GRADUATE WORK IN THE SOUTH

"Home-keeping youths have ever homely wits." Being familiar with this saying,
I have always had an ambition to sally forth into the big wide world to get an edu-
cation. In my prep school days I had rosy visions of Smith, Vassar, Bryn Mawr and
all the farthest of the far-away Eastern colleges, but when the time came, I could
get no farther away from home and homely wits than Agnes Scott.

At first, I was disappointed, but after two days on the campus, I have never
regretted for a moment that I did my college work in the South, and at Agnes Scott.
Yet always there has lingered in my mind the thought that, for graduate work, I
should go far away to Columbia, to Chicago, or above all, to Yale. But, again, my
plans had to change, and it was in the little village of Chapel Hill at the University
of North Carolina that I had my first year of graduate study.

It seems that, among Agnes Scott girls, I am a pioneer at staying South for
study, for nearly all the master's degrees acquired by "Hottentots" have been from
Northern, Western, or Eastern universities. And the alumnae secretary, in her zeal
to get material for the Quarterly, has tried to persuade me that the alumnae would
be interested to hear about graduate work in the South.

Having had no experience with graduate work in other places, I can make no
comparisons nor contrasts. I can only assert that it is hard to imagine a more con-
genial atmosphere for study than a little University town like Chapel Hill, full of old
trees and old buildings and old books a village where practically all the inhabitants
are professors or students, and where casual conversation is less of the weather or
the movies and more of what one has been studying or reading or thinking. There
one finds none of the attractions that a large city might offer to lure away from work,
and it is only too easy in a dim seminar room in the library to lose one's hold on the
world of the twentieth century and slip back into the world of Plato, of Dante, or of
Shakespeare. There where graduate students are numbered by hundreds rather than
thousands, professors have time to know and to help, and there can exist a feeling of
real comradeship between those who teach and those who study. Often seminar
courses are held around the fire in the hospitable home of a professor instead of in
the usual stiff lecture rooms.

It is comfortable to feel that, though the graduate schools of our Southern uni-
versities are less widely known than those of the eastern ones, their influence on the
cultural life of the country is felt. In the Bookman of October, 1927, Herschel

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 5

BrickelPs article, "The Literary Awakening of the South," speaks of the University of
North Carolina as "one of the most active social and cultural centers in the country
at the moment."

My purpose in writing this is not to encourage you to stay away from the larger
and more distant universities, but to encourage you to go on with graduate work,
even if you are unable to go North or East or West, for sometimes home, and the
South are best.

THE BEGINNER IN GRADUATE WORK AT CHICAGO

By ISABEL FERGUSON

(Isabel Ferguson is a graduate of Agnes Scott in the class of '2 5. She did personnel
work in Atlanta for the year following graduation, and from that entered the Uni-
versity of Chicago. She was awarded her master's degree in history in 1927. Miss
Ferguson is now teaching at the Western Kentucky State Teachers' College in Bowling
Green. )

Biologists say to be great you must choose your grandparents with care. To make
a success of graduate work it is necessary to choose carefully the place where your
undergraduate work is done.

We who have had our training at Agnes Scott have done this, and if history is the
chosen field, I know of no better place for subsequent graduate work than the Uni-
versity of Chicago. A very powerful voice has already prepared the way for us.

"I'm from Agnes Scott College in " the new student at Chicago begins timidly.

"Oh, so you're one of Cleo Hearon's students! I suppose you know all about
Mississippi and the Compromise of 1850. Well, if you are from Agnes Scott, I
guess you are all right."

Then, after such a reception, all that remains is to prove that you are! So
with the added spur of the fear of reflecting discredit on Agnes Scott and Miss
Hearon, as well as yourself, you begin the grind.

This grind (or perhaps it is not the proper term to use in regard to study which
is done for the love of it, as graduate work is supposed to be!) is lightened and as
a matter of fact made much more pleasant due to the similarity in the methods used
at Agnes Scott and Chicago. When you have found your way to the library, had
a desk assigned to you in the history reading room and obtained a "stack permit," you
are ready for your graduate work. Oh, what a grand and glorious feeling it is to
make the great discovery that a term paper for a graduate course is really no different
from the one you wrote in History VII, even to the pernicious way op. cit.'s and
ibid's in footnotes get mixed.

As consciousness of what it is all about dawns, you find that the department is
interested in you and your efforts puerile though they may be. You can take your
troubles to them and find sympathy, and what is better, usually a solution. The
head of the history department is now Professor William E. Dodd, who is from
North Carolina, and who makes Southerners feel quite at home.

After the preliminaries of getting started, comes the joyful realization that you
are not a bewildered freshman but a graduate student. Then it is you want your
term papers to be good and get a thrill of exultation over writing something from
original sources which is possible only in a splendid library.

The climax of all your experiences is reached when your thesis is accepted. You
feel that you are now an author although of a document which, it is true, not
even your own family would read. But you can understand why not, for you
wouldn't yourself if it were not your creation and each word had its memories
pleasant and otherwise. But a thesis is a valuable possession for it furnishes an excel-
lent threat to hold over future generations. "If you are not good, I'll make you read

6 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

my thesis!" Aladin's magic lamp was not more powerful than this threat can be.

All of these classes, term papers and theses go on in a very delightful setting of
beautiful granite buildings, modelled after Oxford, and hidden by ivy. Gargoyles
peep out to jeer at you when you weep and to deride you when you laugh. Then
there is the Midway, stretching from Lorado Taf t's lovely Fountain of Time to Jack-
son Park and Lake Michigan. In your earned or stolen leisure you can walk down
this Midway and know you are going the way your mother trod before you when
she was young and with the rest of humanity attended the World's Fair of 1893.
You, too, can see the Japanese pagodas and gaze at the exposition buildings once new
and imposing, now old and cracked the last evidences of that former glory. This
is all part of the University of Chicago.

As for Chicago the Windy City, the Crime Center, the Hog Butcher of the
World, Second Largest City it is fascinating.

HISTORY AT LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY

By FRANCES HARPER

(Frances Harper is another of the class of '22 who is doing splendid work in
the department of history. A native of Philadelphia, she has spent all her time
since graduation in Louisiana, teaching and studying. Miss Harper is at present living
in Baton Rouge.)

The University of Louisiana itself is so beautiful that the mere sight of it is an
inspiration. Imagine how it looks: on a hill overlooking the Mississippi River, the
buildings all in the Italian style, of cream-yellow stucco with red tile roofs, the
center and lovliest of them all is the Campanile, a thing of exquisite beauty and sim-
plicity, facing the green expanse of the parade ground. The second "wonder" of the
campus is the Greek theatre, built on a natural slope, the stage having a background
of giant, moss-hung live-oaks and magnolias. The theatre is used for the university
and high school commencements as well as for dramatics.

But I suppose you do want to know something about the graduate school here.
First, however, I must tell you about something that properly doesn't belong in this
letter at all: the Audubon Sugar School. It is more than nationally famous: men
come here to study sugar chemistry from South America, the Philippines, Hawaii
and even Columbia University!

Of the academic departments of the university, that of history is especially fine.
I can say that without fear of seeming prejudiced, for I went to L. S. U. with the in-
tention of majoring in English, and after one term's work changed to history. The
instruction offered in the history department is of the most superior type. There are
five professors, all men trained in the best universities of the North, and specialists
each in a particular field. In contrast to many of the larger universities, each of the
history professors teaches at least two freshman classes; he offers work in his special
field for more advanced classes, and seminar courses for graduate students. The latter
may enroll in regular classes if they can attend them; otherwise the courses are con-
ducted through weekly conferences between professor and student. Again in con-
trast to some other universities, graduate students at L. S. U. receive the greatest
help and encouragement from their professors. They require a very high standard
of scholarship; and any serious student of history will find a deep satisfaction and
inspiration in his work here.

The library facilities are good, and are constantly being improved. In particular,
original sources for the study of the history of Louisiana are available, through several
complete newspaper files and other such valuable material. Relics and documents are
being collected; in short, L. S. U. is becoming a center for the study of Louisiana
history. By the way, did you know that General Sherman was L. S. U.'s first

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 7

president? That was just before the war. During the war, the university was used
for army headquarters, and the old barracks are still in use as dormitories.

You know it is rather a stupendous task, introducing a university to nearly a
thousand people. I hope this will serve at least to let them know that L. S. U. is "on
the map," and is becoming more firmly settled there all the time.

MEDICINE AT TULANE

By IVYLYN GIRARDEAU

(For the past two years, Ivylyn Girardeau, '22, has been studying medicine at
Tulane University in New Orleans. This year she is teaching in Silliman College, and
in the fall of '2 8, she plans to return to Tulane for her last two years in the medical
school. )

I landed in New Orleans two years ago, not knowing a soul in the whole big city.
After registering at the university and finding a boarding place I began to enquire
about opening exercises, but being unable to elicit any information concerning the
same, I decided the best course to follow would be to report to the first class which
was scheduled for the following afternoon. This I did, expecting to be given a few
polite directions and allowed to go home. I was soon disillusioned. One hundred and
twenty-seven of us reported for class and there being only room enough for one
hundred, twenty-seven of us stood for one hour while Dr. Smith lectured. Then we
were ushered into the anatomy dissecting room where, upon thirty-two tables, as
many colored gentlemen cadavers were waiting to be carved upon. 'Twas a warm
day, the dissecting room was close, the odor of preservatives heavy upon the air and
the job not a very inviting one, but I would have bitten my tongue out before I
would have admitted that I preferred to be anywhere else than right there. To
add to my troubles, the supply man downstairs had given me a size forty-four dis-
secting gown which completely swallowed me and trailed all over the floor. After
spending about thirty busy minutes with a razor on "Roscoe's" head I asked an in-
structor who happened to be passing if that would do.

"Oh, yes," he replied, "his hair will all grow out again in a few days, anyway."

There were seven girls in our class, the largest number ever at Tulane. We lost
one at the end of the first trimester but the other six stuck until last June. On all
hands I heard reports of Goldie Ham of the class of '19. She had been most popular
with the Tulane and Newcomb students and had made a splendid record in her
studies. She finished her course in twenty-three, interned for a year at Charity and
is now practicing in Houston, Texas.

The first two years of medicine are largely theory, with a great deal of memory
work attached but we were given a few peeps into the practical side of medicine
the last part of the Sophomore year. We learned to percuss hearts and lungs, to
auscult chests, to apply bandages of all types, and to make Plaster of Paris splints and
casts. Occasionally we visited the wards of the hospitals and were shown interesting
cases. With dogs under ether we made numerous interesting experiments, being in
turn chief surgeon, assistant surgeon, anesthetist and technician. During the Christ-
mas holidays my partner and I visited the various hospitals and saw some real oper-
ations. That was the biggest thrill of all, and I found myself wishing for the Junior
year with its practical work to hurry along.

The medical students are so very busy that they have no time to enter into the
social life of the college at all. In fact, we hardly know the rest of the crowd is on
the campus. But if you want to know where you can get the blackest coffee at the
old French market any of us can give you the information, and we can also describe
all of the night noises of New Orleans for you. Yes, the work is hard, but it's ever
so interesting, and that makes up for the long hours of study.

Dr. Reavis has just written me that my application to the foreign board has been
favorably passed on, so in about four years from now I hope to be prescribing pink
pills to our Chinese brothers across the sea.

A SUMMER AT AN ART ACADEMY

By LEONE BOWERS HAMILTON

(Leone (Bowers) Hamilton, '26, has done outstanding work in the art department
all during her four years at Agnes Scott. The year following her graduation, Mrs.
Hamilton returned to the college on an art scholarship, awarded for exceptional work,
to continue her study under Miss Lewis.)

Informality reigns at the summer session of the Pennsylvania Art Academy, held
in historic old buildings at Chester Springs, each year. Our little art world was a
medley of races Russians, Italians, English, French, Norwegian, Indian, each seek-
ing to realize his ambition by putting on canvas or into clay whatever is beautiful.
Every week the students in painting and sculpture check their work at the office, and
some are chosen for the exhibition room. The instructors are such men as Daniel
Garber, George Harding, Joseph Pearson and Albert Laeslie, all wellknown names
in the world of art.

Living arrangements at the summer school are simple, and very inexpensive. A fee
of twenty dollars a week covers everything, including working materials. And al-
though the students work hard, after work hours are over, they are very gay! Tennis,
swimming, croquet, baseball, and masquerade balls are the chief forms of diversion.

SPECIALIZING IN NEW YORK CITY

By HELEN LANE COMFORT

(Helen Lane Comfort, '24, is now in charge of the library at the Presbyterian
College in Clinton, S. C. Miss Comfort studied at the New York School of Library
Science in 1926.)

Back in the dim dark past of the writer's career, she heard a talk by the head
of the Atlanta Library School, presenting the possibilities of work in the library field.
With the superb nonchalance of the undergraduate, the lecture was commented on
with indifference and straightway forgotten. But life has a fatal propensity for
thrusting one into the most unthought of positions. Accordingly, as a result of one
of these queer turns, in the fall of 1925, an Agnes Scott graduate came to New
York with the firm determination to acquire the mdiments of library methods, to be
acquired from the school of the New York Public Library.

The purpose of this article is by no means autobiographical; on the contrary it is
hoped to be of some assistance to those contemplating such work. Since 192 5 three
library schools of the State of New York have merged and now form the Graduate
School of Libraries and Library Science of Columbia University. There will be built
up eventually an undergraduate course. At present two years' work will give an
accredited college graduate a degree of Master of Library Science. This may be
taken in "broken doses" one year of school, one year of work, and the second year of
school.

The school work is made up of regular class and laboratory periods. There are
visits to libraries in and around New York City on certain afternoons. And if the
new school follows the methods of the School of the New York Public Library, an
inspection trip of a week in the spring is taken either as far south as Washington,
or north to Boston. Tn addition, there is one month of practice work, during which
time there is no school work. This practice work is assigned as nearly as possible
according to the desires of the students.

Tuition at Columbia is on the usual graduate basis and therefore more ex-
pensive than formerly. Arrangements, however, can be made for part time work
in some nearby library. Three hundred and fifty dollars will probably cover the

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 9

school cost. Room and board are to be had at very reasonable rates in Johnson
Hall, the woman's graduate dormitory of the University. The whole year might be
had living expenses and school for $1,100.

The personnel of the school is pleasing. One finds college graduates from all
sections of the United States and a few from foreign countries. Tea at four in
the afternoon is a custom of librarians. Sometimes most delightful personages are
invited to meet the school then such as Christopher Morley, Babbette Deutsch,
Alfred Knopf.

To one considering this work the choice of undergraduate courses is of ut-
most importance. The advice of experts in the field is to take all modern languages
possible, especially German, French and Spanish. A general liberal arts education is
the prime requisite.

A winter in New York City is in itself a liberal education. I count that girl
fortunate who is able to combine special training for her vocation with a year's
residence in this most fascinating city.

OLD HEIDELBERG

The University of Heidelberg offers a six-weeks' holiday course for foreigners, in-
cluding lectures and practical instruction in the German language. The lectures
cover a wide range, dealing with subjects drawn from German literature, folk-lore,
music, art, pedagogy, history and economics.

The historic old Castle of Heidelberg, the museum and botanical gardens, will be
visited, and excursions will be conducted by the professors to nearby cities and points
of interest. The fees for these courses will be twenty-five dollars; board and room
may be had in Heidelberg for the six weeks for sixty dollars. Anyone interested in
studying at the University of Heidelberg may obtain more detailed information from
the Institute of International Education, 522 5th Ave., New York City.

I. F. U. W. COUNCIL MEETING, VIENNA, JULY, 1927

The Austrian members of the International Federation of University Women were
hostesses to the Council on the occasion of its eleventh meeting, which was held in
the University of Vienna from the 2 5 th to the 2 8th of July. Besides the officers of
the Federation, delegates from twenty-one national groups were present, the Ameri-
can Association being represented by Mrs. Edgarton Parsons, of New York.

Frau Dr. von Zahn-Harnack, the German delegate, spoke on the interest of the
Federation in establishing international fellowships. Professor Winifred Cullis (of
Great Britain) gave an account of the clubhouses established in many parts of the
world. Mme. Puech (France) spoke on international intellectual co-operation, dis-
cussing the work of the League of Nations Committee on Intellectual Co-operation.
The question of inequalities in the educational standards of various countries was
discussed by Mrs. Skonhoft (Norway). The Council accepted the invitation of the
Spanish delegate, Dr. Clara Campoamor, to hold its next meeting in Madrid.

THE SPIRES OF OXFORD

In these latter days, with our broadening horizons, there has come to many
American college students a glimpse of those towers of Oxford that through the
ages have beckoned scholars of all lands. These young persons have been fired with
the ambition to study within sight and sound of these spires. It's a laudable ambition,
a splendid idea, but there is not room for all of them! Not every student is quali-
fied for admission. The Rhodes Scholarships have provided opportunities for a
number of men to satisfy this ambition, and returned Rhodes Scholars have been a
source of information about Oxford for men students. Their enthusiasm has added

10 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

to the eagerness of women students to study there, but in the nature of the case
they have not been able to disseminate information about the admission of such
students to the University. It is in regard to the women students especially that this
column is written.

Although women students have been admitted to lectures and examinations for a
good many years, it is only since 1920 that they have been admitted to degrees in
the University. Even now, the number of students in the women's colleges is not
large. But each year, in the interests of international friendship, the women's colleges
Somerville, Lady Margaret Hall, St. Hugh's, St. Hilda's, and the Society of Oxford
Home Students reserve a limited number of places for American women graduates.
The candidates are admitted on the basis of recommendation of a committee on selec-
tion in this country, of which President Mary E. Woolley, of Mount Holyoke Col-
lege, is chairman a sub-committee of the Committee on International Relations of
the American Association of University Women.

The task of selection, difficult enough in itself, is complicated by two things:
first, the fact that the Oxford colleges welcome warmly only students who will re-
main for two years and read for an Oxford degree; and second, the profound lack of
understanding by many "intending students" of what an English university, and
especially Oxford, really is of what it offers to and expects from its members.

Probably the very best thing for any student who contemplates study at Ox-
ford to do is to read "Oxford of Today," by Crosby and Aydelotte. President Ayde-
lotte, of Swarthmore, himself a Rhodes Scholar, knows American colleges and stu-
dents, and he knows Oxford. This manual for Rhodes Scholars, if it were more wide-
ly known and read, would considerably lighten our darkness. Women students should
apply for detailed information and for blanks of application to the committee on
selection.

Degrees: Students are admitted to read for degree of B.A. (Honours), and for
the research degrees of B.Litt., B.Sc, and D.Phil.

The Oxford B.A. In "Oxford of Today," Laurence Crosby says: "This degree is,
practically speaking, the most important and certainly the most characteristic Oxford
degree." Students who have received an American A.B., but who have done no inde-
pendent research and even those who have done some graduate work, are admitted to
read for the Honour Schools for this degree. (It should be noted that the term
"school" here means a set of university examinations and a distinct course of lectures,
not an institution with separate administrative officers and separate buildings.) The
Honour Schools are: Literae Humaniores (consisting of "Honour Moderations" in
Greek and Latin Language and Literature, and a final examination in Greek and Latin
Language and Ancient History and Philosophy) ; Mathematics; Natural Science (in
one branch) ; Jurisprudence; Modern History; Theology; Oriental Studies; English
Language and Literature; Modern Languages; Philosophy; Politics and Economics.
The work for this degree is specialized, being taken in one of the Honour Schools.
Each school is devoted to one subject or a group of closely related subjects belonging
to the same general field of knowledge. Graduates of approved American colleges
usually complete the work for the B.A. degree in two years.

The M.A. It should be especially noted that the Oxford M.A., like the Cam-
bridge M.A., is consequent on the B.A. without further study or research. It is con-
ferred in the 21st term after matriculation, provided the candidate has kept his name
on the books of his college and paid during the period certain college and university
dues and fees.

The B.Litt. Oxford B.A.'s are admitted to this degree, and American students
who have done a year or two's research after receiving the B.A. should choose care-
fully between the B.Litt. and the Honours B.A. The courses for the B.Litt. are of
narrower scope. The candidate begins her work as a probationer student under a
supervisor, receives training in research, and, when the supervisor is satisfied of her

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 11

fitness to pursue independent research and approves her subject, supplicates for per-
mission to read for the B.Litt. Residence in Oxford of six terms is required for the
degree. A student who has already kept residence for the B.A. will be allowed to
take the B.Litt. or B.Sc. after three more terms' residence.

The B.Sc. See B.Litt. (The course for the B.Sc. omits the probationer stage.)

The D.Phil. Only students who are at an advanced stage of research can be
advised to apply to be admitted for this degree.

Terms: The Oxford academic year is divided into three terms of eight weeks
each, beginning about the middle of October, the middle of January, and the end of
April. No list of lectures is published until about three days before each term, and
"classes," in the American sense of the word, are not part of the Oxford scheme.

Expenses: Board, lodging, and tuition are estimated at about 45 to 60 per term
($225-$300). There are in addition certain expenses on admission, and certain fees
and dues. In the Society of Oxford Home Students the expense varies according to
rooms board and lodging costing from 3 to 5 a week. This does not take into

Undergraduates: American undergraduates may apply for admission to Oxford
in the regular way, on a basis of competitive examination and personal interview,
taking their chances with the English candidates.

Lectures: It is possible for residents in Oxford to obtain permission to attend lec-
tures, but such persons are not in any sense members of the University, and under
such circumstances it is difficult to get tutorial assistance.

A summer vacation course for American women teachers and graduates will be
given in Oxford, England, from July 6th to 27th, 1928. The subject, "England in
the Nineteenth Century: 1815-1900," will be treated in its various aspects literary,
historical, artistic, political, economic and scientific. There will be lectures by emi-
nent men and women, and discussion groups under the leadership of tutors. Excur-
sions to Stratford, Sulgrave Manor, and other places will be undertaken. The fee
of $125 will include full board and residence in the Women's Colleges, lectures and
classes, and one or two excursions." This is an opportunity for a glimpse of what
Oxford is stimulating lectures by English scholars, classes with tutors, such as
the Oxford student has, a view of England through English eyes, a growing ap-
preciation of the distracting beauty of Oxford, a knowledge of the friendliness of
English hostesses. Application blanks can be obtained from the secretary of the
Committee on International Relations, Miss Esther Caukin, 1634 Eye St., N. W.,

A STUDENT IN PARIS

By VIVIAN LITTLE

(Following her graduation in '24, Vivian Little studied in Paris for a year on a
scholarship offered by the French Government to American college students.)

Changing autumn skies, dinner by lamplight, yellowing leaves on trees that are
beginning to shiver of what do they remind you? Every fall they brought back
to Anatole France memories of the return to school, of the daily walks through the
Luxembourg Gardens on October days when the Gardens are "a little sad and more
beautiful than ever, for it is the time when the leaves fall one by one onto the
white shoulders of the statues."

If you have classes at the Sorbonne, and live near enough to walk to them every
morning, you will soon understand why those days were memorable, and why so

i 2 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

many of the French poets have found their Muse in the Luxembourg. In fact, the
Muses love the whole Latin Quarter. And the Sorbonne is the heart of it.

I wish you could loiter at one of the tables on the sidewalk in the Rue Soufflot,
the rendezvous of the students and artists of the Quarter, at the bookstalls of the
Odeon, or at the windows of the fascinating book-shops in front of the Pantheon.
This is that "promised land of booksellers where every byway seems one more shelf in
an endless library."

But it is "le jour de la rentree," so you must be about the business of registering
for classes, and finding a pension. You will do well to stop at the entrance next
to the Sorbonne Chapel, and buy from the concierge, the University of Paris Catalogue,
the "Livret de L'Etudiant." It has in it all the information you can possibly need
the requirements for admission, directions for registration, information about the
degrees, diplomas, and certificates offered, schedules of classes, names and addresses of
all the professors and some valuable suggestions for solving the problems of your social
life and material welfare. There you will find addresses of recommended pensions,
and restaurants, explanation of the various student organizations and societies, of
the loans and scholarships available, suggestions for possible employment for those who
may desire places as part-time stenographers, teachers, or tutors. This catalogue will
undoubtedly be your best friend for the first few days, and Monsieur Henri Goy,
second-best. He is the director of the Bureau des Renseignements. He will see you
through the registration if you can produce a birth certificate, a passport, an identity
card, your Agnes Scott diploma, and any others you might have. There is a small
registration fee. The tuition is very low ranging from seventy to four hundred
francs. The exact amount depends on the degree for which you are a candidate,
and the kind of courses you take.

The courses are of two sorts, the "cours publics," which are open to everyone
gratuitously, and the "cours fermes," which may be followed by the registered students
only. The Sorbonne is primarily for graduate work in philology and French literature.
But there are for the foreigners who possess an elemental knowledge of the language,
certain courses which give surveys of French civilization. Each course is a three-hour
one, and consists of two lectures a week, and an hour of "travaux partiques." After
having completed at least four of these courses and successfully passed the examinations
given at the end of the semester, the student receives the "diplome d'etudes de civilisa-
tion francaise." This is the easiest of all the diplomas to obtain. The majority of the
others require at least two years residence. Of these, the "diplome d'etudes uni-
versitaires" and of the doctorates, the "doctorat de L'universite," are generally taken
by foreign students.

There are no dormitories at the Sorbonne, so you must seek room and board in
French families or in a "pension." If you are very lucky, you may find a place in
the home of one of the professors. The American University Women's Paris Club
offers a charming home, to those who are not trying to forget the English language.
The American University Union will give you a list of addresses and help you to
make living arrangements. Then, there is the "Maison des Etudientes," where many
of the students find pension. And out near the Pare Montsouris, on a seventy-acre
campus, a University City is being built. It will have eventually a population of
three thousand five hundred students of all nationalities. The aim of the City is to
furnish at low prices warm, comfortable, cheerful rooms for students. If you have
lived a while in the Latin Quarter you will appreciate that adjective "warm," and the
fact that each building of the City is to have "chauffrage central." Each nation is
constructing its own dormitory on land given by the University of Paris. Seven of
the buildings have been completed and have not a single vacant room in the dormi-
tories. Of the foreign buildings, those finished or under construction are the Canadian,
Belgian, and Argentine. Japan and England have secured the funds necessary for

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 13

theirs. Spain, Holland, Cuba and Mexico have applied for building sites. And funds
are now being raised for an American House. So in the near future, you may live
in this student city. The greatest advantage of this sort of life is, of course, the
association with students from all over the world, who are thrown together at
meals, in sports, in the student organizations and in the varied activities of this "new
Latin Quarter."

While this delightful colony is only in the making, there exist already several
student organizations to which you will enjoy belonging. First of all, there is the
"office National des Universites et Ecoles francaises." It seems to participate in all
the student activities and interests. As its aim is to make known to the outside the
workings of the French educational system, and to encourage the international ex-
change of students and professors it is always an unfailing source of information on
any subject educational. If you need help in the least problem, you will find it there.
The director, Monsieur Petit-Dutaillis, has even been called Mr. Petty Details. But
his work and influence, and that of the office is enormous. And their services to
governments, universities, foreign schools and societies for the development of the
study of French, of French libraries, museums, etc., are invaluable.

The assembly room and library of the American University Women's Club will
probably prove to be the most homelike spots that you will find in Paris. And after-
noon teas in the garden or on the sun-parlor overlooking it, will be among the
most enjoyable hours of your sojourn there.

The library, reading room, and study-hall of the American University Union are
favorite haunts of the students. And downstairs in the Atelier, they gather every
Sunday evening for the musical programmes and plays put on by the students them-
selves and sponsored by the American Church.

Another, and in many ways, the most interesting, of these organizations is the
"Association d'Acceuil aux Etudiants des Etats-Unis." It was formed by a group of
French families who wished to express their gratitude to the young American volun-
teers who fought at the beginning of the war with the Escadrille Lafayette, the
American Ambulance and Field Service, and to the "godmothers" and "godfathers"
who adopted the thousands of war orphans. These families of the Amico-America
group receive the American students of Paris in their homes, and entertain them all
during the school year. In a word, each family "adopts" temporarily a student or
two. They arrange excursions to towns of interest around Paris at Christ-
mas, to Rouen, probably; and at Easter, to the battlefields around Verdun. Then
there are many sightseeing trips in old Paris. This is a unique organization and one
that is very successful in realizing its aim to make known to the students an
aspect of French life the family life which many of them would miss but for the
friends made there.

Of course, a year at the Sorbonne is not all work, for there is Paris all around
you. And Paris but that is another theme.

ETERNAL ROME

By LESLIE GAYLORD

(Miss Gaylord, who received her master's degree from the University of Chicago,
has been instructor in the mathematics department at Agnes Scott for the past five
years. In 1925-26 she obtained a leave of absence from the college to spend a year
studying at the University of Rome on a scholarship offered by the Italy-America
Society. During the summer of 1927, Miss Gaylord chaperoned a group of Agnes
Scott students and alumnae in Europe.)

In comparison with the number of American students who flock to the uni-
versities of France, particularly to the Sorbonne, those availing themselves of the
opportunities for study in the Italian universities are few. This very fact of the

14 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

scarcity of Americans is to me one of the major arguments in favor of the Italian
university, for it results in personal interest and cordiality on the part of professors
and fellow students and affords an opportunity for an American to become really
acquainted with students of another nation. At the University of Rome I found
everyone most hospitable to foreign students and eager to do all possible to en-
courage an exchange of students with other countries. The professors gave
most generously of their time and counsel: one held weekly at his home a
seminar for foreign students (we were of six different nationalities), which was no
part of his scheduled work.

It is difficult to speak of the University of Rome as a unit, for it is lacking en-
tirely in centralization. Its many departments are scattered over the city and have
absolutely no intercourse with one another. There is no printed catalogue; each
professor begins his lectures when he pleases. This may be six weeks or more after the
so-called official date of opening. Classes are conducted entirely as formal lectures;
attendance is voluntary and the student's credit rests wholly upon the final examina-
tion, which may be taken at the conclusion of the course or any time thereafter
that the student may wish to present himself.

The foreign student may enroll either as a listener, for which no tuition is
charged, or as a candidate for the laurea, in which case he is charged only half the
regular tuition either by way of courtesy, or as encouragement to foreigners. In
either case it is necessary to present full credentials from birth certificate to diploma,
duly legalized by an Italian consul in the United States, and officially translated into
the Italian language.

It is scarcely necessary to mention as the first essential for study in an Italian
university a knowledge of the language. Summer schools for foreigners are conducted
in many of the Italian universities, giving short and comprehensive courses in the
language and literature. Private instruction may be had at low rates, or in ex-
change for English lessons, and a knowledge of the language sufficient to carry on
work at the university can be acquired in a comparatively short time.

The university makes no provision for living accommodations for students. There
are, however, numerous pensions where Americans can live most comfortably at
moderate rates; also the International Federation of University Women has an ar-
rangement with one of the hotels whereby members of that organization can live
there most reasonably.

It is needless to speak of all that Rome as a city has to offer the sojourner there;
rather would I complain of the diversity of attractions, and the futility of attempting
to explore them all in the short span of one year! Rome is still the Eternal City,
the center of the world's art and history, and a lifetime would be too short a period
in which to absorb all that it offers to one seeking knowledge.

The University of Rome is only one of seventeen universities, administered by
the Italian government, similar in organization and standards, though varying in the
prominence of different departments. One of these, the university of Bologna, was
the first university established in Europe, as well as the first to admit a
woman within its halls: in 1400 Andrea Novella, the first woman to wear the
doctor's gown, was made Professor of Law in the University of Bologna, under the
amusing restriction that she must be separated from the male members of her class
by a curtain! In the five centuries that have elapsed since that day, Italy has de-
veloped a system of co-educational universities, unlike those of any other country,
ind as she took the lead then in educational progress, so today her universities rank
imong the first.

If you are planning to study in Europe and are investigating the merits of various
universities, may I ask that you do not forget that "beyond the Alps lies Italy?"

STUDYING FRENCH IN GENEVA

By CARA HINMAN

(Miss Hinman is a member of the class of '29. The winter following her sopho-
more year at Agnes Scott she spent studying in Switzerland.)

Geneva, Switzerland, is an ideal place to study French. It is truly French in
tongue and tradition in spite of the fact that it is part of the Swiss nation. The
language of Geneva, with a few minor differences, is the same as that of Paris. Be-
hind all the international spirit of the town, is carefully preserved the French way
of doing and thinking, purified by the wholesomeness of the mountain atmosphere of
the Alps.

There are so many things to tell about this historically renowned town besides
its great international assemblies, that it is necessary to confine oneself to the part
which is of immediate interest to the readers of the Quarterly the university and the
student life.

When we went to Geneva to settle for the winter, the first thing of importance
was to find a place to live, for there are no dormitories in European universities.
Through the American Express office, the International Students' Union, and the
secretary of the university, we obtained names of recommended families and pensions.
Then it was a real task to find the right one, for we were hard to please with our
requirements. The home must be near the university, only French must be spoken
in the family, the house must be warm (the French people do not heat their houses
nearly as much as we do) . The average charge for board in Geneva in a nice private
family is $60 a month. But it does not stop there: that is only the "first price."
Heating, lighting, baths, afternoon tea, even eggs for the "petit dejeuner," are
extra. The board really amounts to about $80 a month. We finally found a home
which filled all our requirements.

After getting settled in our new home, we went to the university to arrange
my course of study. We made an appointment with the rector of the university,
Monsieur Rappard, who was very gracious and spoke beautiful English. After satis-
fying himself that I was pleasantly located, and informing himself as to my plans
for a course of study, he asked me if I was interested in any of the fine arts.
He explained that the Geneva Conservatory and the university collaborate; that is,
the students of the one are encouraged to take courses in the other. He also sug-
gested taking lessons at the Dalcroze Institute. Fie emphasized the importance of
rounding out the mental and spiritual development by the study of the arts.

"I can not help you much in selecting your course," continued Monsiuer Rappard,"
as our plan of work is so entirely different from that of the American university.
Until recently there have been no American college students trying to exchange a
year here for one in the American college. In the last three years there have been
quite a few students doing this, but the courses here do not correspond with yours.
If the influx of students continues, courses of study can be established to meet the
needs. The initiative, however, will have to come from the American colleges."

During the first three weeks of a semester the students visit the various classes
and make their choice of courses before registering. Meanwhile, M. Rappard sent
me to M. Martin, dean of the "Faculte des Lettres," who would give me more definite
information in the line of studies I was to pursue. But the dean of literature could
not be of much more assistance than the rector: he did not understand my col-
lege catalogue. The courses in European universities are not standardized as they
are in America: they are more flexible. There are no Freshman, Sophomore, Junior
and Senior years there: a student may take as many years as he likes to complete his
work and acquire his diploma. My original plan of substituting a year's work in
Geneva for my Junior year at Agnes Scott seemed so hopeless that I decided to give
it up and take advantage of the wonderful opportunity offered me in Geneva in

16 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

learning to speak French, especially as in other courses I could do quite as well
at Agnes Scott. To this practical course I added courses in French literature.

In the "Ecole Practique" twelve hours a week were devoted to the study in
French of advance grammar, translation of English into French, oral and written
composition, conversation, and phonetics or pronunciation. The requirement for en-
trance at the university is a degree called the "Bacchaulaureate," or its equivalent.
This is about equal to the completion of the Sophomore .year in our best American
colleges. My credentials from Agnes Scott did not come until later, but I was taken
at my word and allowed to enter, without examination. There is no standard tuition
fee for a year's work. The matriculation fee is $5, the charge for courses is $1.20
a semester hour. As the "Ecole Practique" is a special course taught by private in-
structors, not paid by the state, it has its own fee of $36 for the twelve semester
hours.

I consider my actual work in the university a small part of my instruction.
Wherever I went French was spoken. I took advantage of the concerts, operas,
and theatrical performances, of which Geneva, being central in Europe, has a fine
choice. The professors' families were very cordial in inviting students to their homes
and kept things lively for us. My professors in the university were men of the highest
type. One of them, M. Velleman, was an internationally renowned interpreter of
European languages, and spent much of his time at the League of Nations. He
was a personal friend of Woodrow Wilson's long before Wilson was President. An-
other professor, M. Portier, was head of the dramatic department in the Moscow
Conservatory before the war. Our professor of phonetics, M. Thudicum, had such
a keen ear that after a few words of French from any foreigner, he could detect the
accent and tell the student from what section of any country he came, even to the
town, and could often tell if he had lived in other countries than his own.

The International Students' Union has attractive club rooms where one could
always find congenial companions for recreation hours. Here students of all nation-
alities and from each of the Geneva institutions met for frivolity and exchange of
ideas. On Thursday, the weekly holiday, and on week-ends, the students went in the
train to nearby mountain resorts for winter sports. During Christmas vacation they
went to "stations d'hiver," and had their fill of skiing, skating, tobogganing, and
mountain climbing. In spring and summer, tennis, swimming and boating follow
winter sports. All this takes the place of our organized college athletics. Many
beautiful homes of English and American residents in Geneva are open to students.
Thus there is no lack of social life and recreation.

I thought, spoke, slept, ate, drank and breathed French to stich an extent that
when I awoke on the Crescent Limited in the good old United States, I looked at
the conductor and said, "Comment?" I lost out a year towards my college degree,
but I feel that my time and effort were by no means wasted. I hope that in the
future Agnes Scott will establish a connection with the European universities, so that
students majoring in a foreign language, may be able to spend their Junior year
studying in Europe.

THE UNIVERSITY OF GRENOBLE

By MARION GREEN
(Marion Green, who will be graduated from Agnes Scott in 1929, spent the year
1925-26 as a student at this French university.)

Those who really want more than a passing acquaintance with French and would
like to acquire it in the most pleasant surroundings possible, would do well to go to
Grenoble, France, and attend the university there. Grenoble, a town of about
seventy thousand inhabitants, is situated at the foot of the French Alps. In the
winter time when the tall peaks are covered with snow a huge autobus piled inside

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 17

with students and outside with skiis plows its way every Sunday far up into the
Alps to the Grande Chartreuse region where skiing is indulged in with great zeal. In
the springtime, the mountains are even more beautiful, for as the snow melts jonquils
and lilies of the valley bloom in profusion on the slopes. During the summer session
special excursions into the "land of eternal snow" are arranged by the university.

A course for foreigners is offered at the University in three sessions during the
year from November to February, from March to June, and from June to the last
of August. This includes for the tuition fee of ninety francs, work in French poetry,
prose, history, civilization, psychology and two courses leading to the "certificat
d'Etudes Francaises" a composition and translation conference. An Institution of
Phonetics is maintained in connection with the university, and many delightful hours
are spent in trying to shape the lips so that the right sounds will issue forth. Foyer,
or dormitory life is very interesting, as well as cheap, costing only about three dol-
lars per month. Here are girls of every nationality, and you will be consoled by
the fact that it is just as hard for a Chinese or Rumanian to speak French correctly
as it is for you. If you do not care for dormitory life, there are many cultured
families at Grenoble where one can live in a real French atmosphere. Some of our
best friends were French girls to whom we gave exchange lessons one in French,
the next in English. The French girls were especially keen on learning American slang
but could never apply it at the right time in the right place. The "certificat" men-
tioned above is obtained by passing an examination given at the end of each session.
It is not, however, required of the course.

Grenoble is a very cultured city, many of the best artists in France and else-
where coming there in concerts, plays, or operas. And as it is in the center of
France, Paris, Italy, or the Riviera are easily reached in holidays.

If you do not know much French you will find ample opportunity to learn it
here. If you do know French well, you will enjoy the courses and atmosphere all
the more.

WHAT PRICE GRADUATE WORK?

That American institution Mr. Rube Goldberg originated the well-known
sentence, "Now you've got it, what are you going to do with it?" This is pertinent
to graduate degrees as well as to a number of other things.

When you finally have a graduate degree in your grasp, and look back over the
way you have come, do you find it was worth all that it cost? Would you advise
others to go on with graduate work? Standing at commencement time with your
newly acquired B.A. diploma, and looking far ahead, counting the cost, dividing up
the years of your life into the most profitable employments, do you think you will be
wise in devoting some of those years to further organized study? By "most profit-
able," I do not mean necessarily in money profits; by "cost," I mean cost of health,
of time, of creative energies. Years are prescious things. Is she who spends them in
graduate study wise?

As of every other subject under the sun, much can be said on both sides. The
majority of the articles in this Quarterly so ardently advocate graduate work, that a
little leaven of opinion on the opposite side may not be amiss. Two anonymous
alumnae speak very feelingly on the subject.

"So obvious and laudable are the virtues of graduate study that numbers will
rise up and call it blessed. I am not among them; I choose rather to set forth cer-
tain imperative disadvantages thorns that mightily beset the rose.

"Among graduate students there are several types. There is the practical indi-
vidual who invests in graduate work as he does in shoes and soap, because it is indis-
pensible to his profession teaching: more degrees, more dollars. Then there is the

18 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

genial soul who continues academic pursuits as the line of least resistance. Habits of
study have come to fit him like an old coat. It is pleasanter to get another degree or
so than engage in business wholly new, for that demands the learning of new tricks.
And there is the genuine enthusiast who would drink deep of beauty and truth, in the
company of the immortals. They may have varied motives but they all share one
common reward: they are cheated of much of the fullness of life during the year
when they could best enjoy it.

"Too much life about classroom and campus is enervating. A college is not a
world in miniature. The song that mourns the Seniors "f-a-r out in the wide, wide
world" implies the truth that the college is a corner cosily fenced away from the
rest of life, with special conditions, conventions, requirements. It offers what
Sylvia Thompson in "The Hounds of Spring" calls "a temporary artificial irresponsi-
bility, a freedom to read and wander and think one's own thoughts and see one's
own friends." This freedom is probably a good thing for a few years, conducive
as it must be to a liberal attitude, a broad vision, a spirit of inquiry. But it should
be granted only to the adolescent. One who has reached maturity ought to get
out and rub his theories up against the hoi-polloi of actual conditions. Lingering
too long in the dim cloister makes one blink on coming outside, where there is
such brilliant sunlight and sharp shadows.

"The academic life is, of course, a sort of living; but it is second-hand seeing
things through other people's eyes eyes expert and gifted, but after all not as
satisfying as one's own. Vicarious living is a pallid substitute for actual experience.

"Now your graduate student may conceivably prefer vicarious life among im-
mortals to actual life among mediocre contemporaries, and perhaps he has a right to
indulge his preference. But there is certainly where purely creative activity is con-
cerned, another objection to graduate work. Formal study tends to destroy original-
ity. Research, though termed original, follows certain grooves, involves wearying
detail of note-taking, card-indexing, compiling of bibliographies, delving in countless
dry-as-dust tomes. It has a deadly effect upon enthusiasm. Some geniuses survive
years of formal study, but if their creative ability continues to flourish it is in spite
of, not because of, the experience.

"Such, then, are my 'impressive disadvantages.' They do not deter the hoards
of aspirants to degrees from their onslaught of the universities. For graduate study
is a phase of our modern cult of uniformity. A.B.'s are but preliminary to M.A.'s
and Ph.D.'s circumstances in keeping with an age that must have not a bob merely,
but a permanent likewise. Perhaps graduate study is a necessary adjunct to civilization
as we interpret it. But it makes severe demands on the individual that might give him
pause: it robs him of spontaneity, of the capacity to create, and of wholesome delight
in the life of emotion and action."

"Speaking very casually, I should say that general statements about the value of
graduate study would be difficult to make either pro or con. It depends so much
on the person and what she wants to do and what equipment she already has, and
so on. But I will say this much: I think that the importance which is being placed
on graduate degrees is stupid. It is not only that one is economically handicapped.
There are a number of people who would accept the economic handicap, I suppose, if
they might have a position commensurable with their ability. As far as I am person-
ally concerned, neither of these reasons entered into my decision to do graduate work.
I realized that I most wanted to do something connected with industry, and I chose the
university I did because of the personality of the head of my department there. Now,
another person might have gone about the whole thing differently getting a job in
industry, studying on the side, and so on. Maybe that would have been better. Maybe
not. Various people have various methods of approach.

"But I really do not feel capable of writing on this subject; I reckon graduate
study just about wore me out!"

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 19

OPEN FORUM

"What do you think of the idea of an Agnes Scott House in New York?" writes
one alumna studying there this winter. "Couldn't an apartment for ten or twelve
be started as a second Alumnae House, where Agnes Scott girls in New York could
stay together?"

Of course, to live in an apartment with ten other girls with the same background
and from the same environment would defeat the purpose for which some of them
chose New York City as a location for graduate work, but on the other hand, out
of the number who are always to be found boarding often uncomfortably in the
neighborhood of Columbia, ten or twelve might easily be found who would enjoy the
home environment. A person cannot live in New York at all nor attend Columbia
classes without coming in contact with numerous new and varied sorts of people
and conditions. At the end of a day of these new, different people and experiences,
Southern girls working in New York might be quite content to rest in a place where
English was spoken, where the dear old familiar "you all" and "I reckon" and "tote"
were not verboten, and where in the midst of the world's seething melting pot, "we
all" could preserve our individuality as Southerners, and find together a little of the
welcome atmosphere of home.

What do other alumnae thing of this plan? You who have stayed in New York in
the past, if there had been such a place where you could have gotten a room and
breakfast at a reasonable rate, would you have boarded there? You who are in New
York now, do you wish you were living in such an apartment? And you others who
are considering, even distantly, spending a while in that city, would the fact that
an Agnes Scott House was available to you, influence you perhaps in your decision
to go to New York?

The alumnae office is anxious to have letters from alumnae on this question.

"Do Agnes Scott girls smoke?" ask numerous alumnae, in writing back to the
college. I am constantly seeing articles in the newspapers about smoking in girls'
colleges in the country, appropriations for smoking-rooms at Vassar, etc., and I wonder
how our Agnes Scott students stand on the subject."

Agnes Scott students stand together on the subject. "Do we smoke? We do not,"
is their emphatic answer.

"Please tell me what happened to the triangular debates," writes an alumna. "Did
they die a natural death?"

Since 1921 the three colleges, Randolph-Macon, Newcomb, and Agnes Scott
have had the agreement to meet annually in triangular debate. After the debate
on the Mexican agrarian situation last spring, Randolph-Macon withdrew from the
triangle, and the old agreement was terminated. Although Agnes Scott went down in
a double defeat last spring, we are very proud of our record over the period of seven
years covered by the debates. Out of fourteen debates Agnes Scott won eight; twice
with a double victory.

But although the triangular debates are a thing of the past, our debating days are
far from over. We are going further afield this year and seek to win new laurels.
Vassar College has accepted our challenge and their debating team will come to Agnes
Scott in the spring to meet us on our home ground. Besides the pleasure of crossing
swords with a type new to us the Northern college girl we are glad of the op-
portunity of entertaining on our campus representatives from this college with which
we have always had only the most pleasant relations.

COME BACK THANKSGIVING! MOVING PICTURES
OF COMMENCEMENT

The week-end of Thanksgiving has been regarded for the past two years at
Agnes Scott as homecoming time for alumnae. Commencement gatherings of alumnae
are divided very sharply into class groups. The various working departments of the
college are through then with their work for the year. But in November, no class
distinctions are made: old friend hobnobs with old friend; in the absence of an
imminently graduating Senior class, the spotlight is turned on alumnae, and students
and faculty, not occupied with packing for the summer vacation, have time to talk
to "the old girls." All old Agnes Scott girls who can possibly get back at Thanks-
giving, are urged to come then, regardless of class, and see the college departments
in action.

The program for this year's Thanksgiving day will include interclass hockey
games Thursday morning, Tech-Auburn football game in Atlanta Thursday after-
noon, formal six o'clock dinner at Agnes Scott, faculty and alumnae coffee in Rebekah
lobby.

Friday morning the college schedule will be resumed, and alumnae can visit the
art studio, gymnasium, or any other department that especially interests them. The
annual alumnae party given on Miss Anna Young's birthday will be Friday afternoon
between the hours of four and six in the Alumnae Flouse. (This occasion has been
designated as the correct time for anyone who wishes to make a gift to the Alumnae
House to do so. The crying need this year is for more cover. If you cannot give an
entire blanket, give a small check which can be put with several more small checks
to purchase the blanket!)

Saturday night the Blackfriars will present three one-act plays, "The Trysting-
Place," by Booth Tarkington; "Purple Dream," by Donald Breed; and "Figureheads,"
by Louise Saunders. Between plays, the moving. pictures taken last commencement of
the faculty, trustees, Senior and reunion classes will be run. Just this one feature
is enough to draw you back, Alumnae, surely?

Besides these definitely stated attractions, there are always good shows in Atlanta,
the new gym pool to be tried, old friends to chat with, and the two special gatherings
for some of you: a reunion of the old members of Hoasc, and the 1927 "baby
alumnae class" dinner.

The maple trees on the campus are scarlet and gold brown oak leaves float down
from the tall trees and cover the old brick walks and worn little crooked paths
you know so well. Won't you come back to Agnes Scott now?

LOCAL ALUMNAE CLUBS

Since the January issue of the Quarterly is to be turned over almost entirely to the local clubs,
,t seems wise not to give club news at length in this issue. Mention should be made, however, of
;everal of our outstanding clubs and their activities.

On October 18th, fifty-odd members of the Atlanta club met in the Alumnae House living
room, Dr. McCain being host on the occasion. The Atlanta club has bought almost six hundred
dollars worth of new furniture for the living room, which will be in by Thanksgiving week-end. The
:lub is busy planning their annual Christmas bazaar.

On the next night, the Decatur Alumnae Club met in the Alumnae House Tea Room for
dinner. The fact that the Atlanta club meets in the afternoon and the Decatur Club meets at 6
P. M. makes it very convenient for mothers and business girls, who join the club whose hours best
suit their own schedules.

The Alumnae House linen closet already bore testimony to the skill and love of the Marietta
Alumnae Club, and on October 8th another beautiful box arrived from them, containing hemstitched
linen tea-table covers and napkins. Since afternoon tea is an institution on the campus, these lovely
gifts have already fitted into the scheme of things and been used and enjoyed numberless times.

There are hardly enough alumnae in Columbia, S. C, to form an organized club, but on
October 2 5th, nine of them met for luncheon at the Green Parrot Tea Room. The alumnae secretary,
Polly Stone, who was in Columbia to represent Agnes Scott on the annual A. A. U. W. college day
program, was the guest of the Columbia alumnae on this occasion.

ONE ALUMNA'S GIFT
In September, Mrs. Augustine Sams, chairman
of the grounds committee, received the following
letter from an alumna:

"Having read in the June Quarterly of your
efforts to beautify the college grounds, I thought
that you might like some evergreens from North-
ern Michigan. As this is the season at which we
gather in the supply from the woods, I am
taking the liberty of sending you some spruce and
pines. I knew Anna Young, and I should be glad
if some of the little evergreens could be planted
near the Aumnae House, which is named for
her. You will find my name among those ex '96,
and I am sure that Miss McKinney and Miss Hop-
kins are the only residents that remember

"MARIE SCHLEY BROWN."
The little evergreens arrived the next week.
A man from Wachendorff Florist Company was
engaged to set them out, and they are all doing
nicely. Two are planted in front of the Alumnae
House, four along one side, and the others between
the Tea House entrance and Inman Hall. This
was one of the loveliest gifts that the Alumnae
House has ever received.

ON THE CAMPUS

Since Miss Hearon's illness, Miss Torrance has
taken charge of that flourishing organization,
the Lecture Association, which offers each year
to the college community four prominent speak-
ers.

Three contracts have already been signed for
this season, promising John Erskine in March,
Ellenor Cook on November 15th, and Dr. Gordon
Jennings Laing about the first of the year. John
Erskine is widely known as professor of English
at Columbia University, and author of "Helen of
Troy," "Galahad," and "Adam and Eve." Miss
Cook does folk songs and dances in costume. Dr.
Laing is dean of the graduate school at the Uni-
versity of Chicago, and is a personal friend of
several of our faculty members who have done
work there. The exact date of his lecture will
be decided later. In addition to these three the
Lecture Association promises one more speaker who
has not yet been chosen.

The Senior class this year is following exactly
in the footsteps of the class of '27 so far as num-
bers are concerned. Again there will be one hun-
dred and three in the graduating class! Numbers
in the other classes are: Juniors, 77; Sophomores,
122; Freshmen, 15 5. There are twenty-nine girls
whose exact class standing has not yet been de-
termined, bringing the student body total up to
48 6.

The Freshman class is a decidedly up-and-com-
ing group! They made their debut in college
affairs by winning the coveted black cat from the
Sophomores on the annual Fresh -Sophomore stunt
night. Adele Arbuckle, daughter of . Professor and
Mrs. Howard Arbuckle, now of Davidson College,
but formerly of Agnes Scott, is chairman of the
Freshman class.

Several interesting dates and occasions have
already marked the college calendar. The open-
ing exercises of the college featured as the principal

speaker Dr. Wade H. Boggs, of Atlanta. Mr.
Wilfred B. Shaw, the alumni secretary of the
University of Michigan, and president of the
American Alumni Council, spoke on October 7th.
On November 4th, with the usual impressive cere-
mony, the Seniors were formally invested with
cap and gown. Margaret Bland, '20, Senior class
faculty member, made the address of the morning.
On November 15 th, Miss Ellenor Cook opened the
college Lecture Association's year.

FACULTY NOTES

Miss Hopkins, beloved dean and "College
Mother" to every Agnes Scott girl, has received
a new honor. At the meeting of the board of
trustees of the college in May, she was elected to
a place on that body.

Dr. George P. Hayes, who succeeds Dr. Good
as head of the English department, is a Harvard
man. Elis latest teaching has been as head of
the English department of Robert College, in
Constantinople. Mrs. Hayes, who is French, is
a charming addition to the circle of faculty
wives.

Miss Jean Davis is teaching at Chicago this
year, and to replace her, Agnes Scott now has
as professor of sociology and economics Dr. James
M. Wright, of Johns Hopkins.

Miss Howson and Miss Phillippa Gilchrist are
both studying at the University of Wisconsin.
During Miss Howson's leave, Miss Helen Gilroy,
B.A. Bryn Mawr, Ph.D. University of Chicago,
is acting as head of the physics department. Miss
Gilroy comes directly to us from Canton Chris-
tian College in China. Elizabeth Lynn, '27, is
taking Miss Gilchrist's place.

Dr. Charles A. Logan, while on furlough from
mission work in Japan, is assisting Mrs. Syden-
stricker in the Bible department. Dr. Logan is
the father of Josephine (Logan) Hamilton, '2 3,
and Mary Nelson Logan, '2 8.

Miss Cleo Hearon had not sufficiently recovered
from her summer's illness to take up her classes
at the beginning of the fall session, so Miss Flor-
ence Smith, who is completing work on her doc-
tor's thesis at Chicago, is supplying for her.

Martha Stansfield is working on her Ph.D. at
Chicago, and in her absence, Charlotte Hammond,
'17, is acting as assistant professor of Latin. Miss
Hammond took her M.A. degree at Chicago.

Since Cora Morton deserted mathematics to be-
:ome Mrs. Fraser Durrett, there was a vacancy
in that department to be filled. Miss Grace
Strouss, Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the Uni-
versity of Georgia, was elected to this position.

Daisy Frances Smith and Sterling Johnson are
studying at the University of Pennsylvania. Miss
Smith's place is taken by Elizabeth Cheatham, '2 5;
and Miss Johnson's by Helen Lewis, 27. Frances
Rainey, '27, is a fellow in chemistry.

Miss Isabel Randolph is back this year as head
of the Physical Education department. Miss Har-
riet Haynes is on leave of absence. Miss Carrie
Curie Sinclair is studying at William and Mary
College in Virginia, and Miss Estelle North, of the
University of Wisconsin, is taking her place.

QUENELLE HARROLD FELLOWSHIP

Mrs. Thomas Harrold, Americus, Ga., gave the College in 1926 the sum of $10,-
000, the income of which is to be used to establish "The Quenelle Harrold Fellowship
for Graduate Work," in honor of her daughter who took her degree at Agnes Scott
in 1923. For the present the annual income is $600.

The award is to be made
either to some member of the
present Senior class or to some
alumna who graduated not
more than three years prior to
the election. Unless there is
a candidate of recognized
merit, the income may be
undergraduates, preference
use for scholarship a i d
for undergraduates, preference
being given to Seniors and
Juniors.

The award is to be made by
the Academic Council of the
College, and it is not neces-
sarily made to the most out-
standing student scholastical-
ly. It should go to the one
who will profit most from in-
tensive work in some particu-
lar field, and who will con-
tribute most to the world be-
Mamie Shaw, '27 cause of the special training

she will receive through this fellowship. Personality should be given careful con-
sideration as it is desired that the holder of the fellowship reflect credit on Agnes
Scott wherever she goes. It is to be hoped that "prospective genius" or "prospective
leadership" will be selected as far as it may be ascertained.

Applications should be filed before Christmas with the President of the college.
These may be informal in nature, but each should contain a statement of the course
desired in graduate work, and preferably the name of the institution where the can-
didate wishes to study.

A GLIMPSE OF A CHINESE UNIVERSITY

By HELEN GILROY

(Miss Gilroy is head of the Physics Department at Agnes Scott. She is a Bryn
Mawr graduate, and has taught at Vassar College and at Canton Christian College
in China.)

To acquire a complete idea of life in a foreign country it is well to picture the
physical surroundings, then the people and finally their aims and ambitions. We
arrive in Canton on an English river boat, landing at a warf along the Bund, if the
strike pickets are not too active, otherwise the boat anchors in mid-stream opposite
Shameen, the small foreign concession, and we go ashore in a launch. In either
case, as soon as the river steamer is anchored, sampans by the dozen crowd around her
like chicks about a hen. Some take off passengers; others boxes of canned goods or
fish in barrels and still others are only interested in baskets of squawking chickens.
Our way leads to the Bund and to rickshas, which, for twenty cents local silver, will
take us to the Lingnan University wharf, a small wooden shed containing a few
benches and a fruit stand, out of the sun and rain. There we "talk price" with a
boat woman who will eventually agree to thirty cents, provided a "tai fung" is not
threatening. After about half an hour's row past hundreds of similar sampans, flat
bottomed boats bringing fruit, vegetables and wood from up river, steamers pulling
five or six flower boats full of soldiers from Wampoa, and gaily painted salt junks, we
reach our destination.

The entrance to Lingnan University is not through a grey stone arch nor along
a stately colonnade, merely a wooden gate in a barbed wire fence with a frame
house to protect the gatekeeper. Time and money have been spent on the essentials;
decorations will come later. The campus covers about fifty acres of land which was
bought literally grave by grave from the village people. In south China land which
cannot be used for rice fields or vegetable gardens is the village burying ground.
Trees now grow where there was only a barren hillside, and more than fifty brick
buildings in place of gravestones. Two dormitories house the college boys, one the
girls and four the Middle School. Just beyond the Middle School is the Oversea's
School for Chinese boys born in foreign lands, many of whom know no word of
Chinese. In another group is the Primary School and way to the south, the Agricul-
tural College with its silk filature and fruit farm.

If we arrive in the afternoon after most of the classes are over, the campus will
be full of boys playing basketball, tennis, socker, running, some swimming in the
pool by the north gate and one group from the Oversea's School playing baseball.
Where are the long shams, long nails and queues of the Chinese pictures? The
last two are a thing of the past for these students.

The next morning some long shams will appear. Many of the Chinese on the
faculty, especially those who have studied in the United States or Europe, have adopted
foreign style clothes. The students also, who have lived in one of the port cities or
travelled much are as likely to wear foreign as Chinese dress. But in warm weather
they nearly all choose Chinese style, as it is much cooler. Classes begin at 7:3 5 in

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 25

the morning and continue, with an hour for lunch, until 5 P. M., a few even until 6.
This is due to the limited space for classes and the wide range of subjects taught. In
the college of arts and sciences the curriculum reads much like that of any first
class college in the United States, except that Latin and Greek are absent and Chinese
and Japanese take their places. Also Business Administration and the Sciences are
much larger groups than modern languages. Originally, because this is a college
started by Americans, and now, because there are so few text books of Western
learning translated into Chinese, most of the college instruction is given in English.
That necessitates the teaching of English in the lower schools as a second language to
their own. One required science course is given the year before the students enter
college. In spite of the difficulty of study in a foreign language these students do as
well as many freshmen college classes in this country.

Foreign music and foreign plays, adapted to their own modes of expression have
a strong appeal. And the Chinese are naturally gifted actors. To read "The Doll's
House" on Wednesday, have group practices on Thursday and give the play, in
Chinese Friday night is typical of their methods. Most of the boys love to make
speeches and all are keenly interested in politics. The Nationalist movement is theirs
as much as any one's, however high in rank or honored with years. In the production
of foreign music they show more enthusiasm than skill, but can be trained to do very
creditable singing.

In recent years the work has been somewhat interrupted by government proclaimed
holidays, but that is balanced by a longer school year and fewer vacations set by the
college itself. Most of the students are eager to learn all that the West can teach,
at the same time keeping a strong feeling of the superiority of their own nation in
almost everything but science. As an illustration of the desire of boys of High
school age for an education, there is one event of last spring: when the college was
forced by local labor trouble to close for three months, two classes below college
rank organized themselves, rented two floors in one of the hotels in Canton and asked
members of the staff to come and lecture to them. Two weeks would be spent in-
tensively on history and maybe the next two on physics. The surroundings were not
conducive to quiet study but they stuck to it and completed their year's work.

Of the staff more than half are Chinese, some foreign trained and some graduates
of Chinese universities on the western plan. A few have the old style Chinese classical
education, but all speak English more fluently than the foreign staff, with a few excep-
tions, speak Chinese. There must, of necessity, be some divergence of interest and
activities between the two groups. But the main interest is the same in both, the
building up of a Chinese University, under Christian influence, which shall be able
to train its students to supply the needs of a great nation, and make itself one.
link in the chain of international friendship. At present international friendship is
being stretched to the breaking point, but not there between foreign staff and Chinese
staff nor between foreign staff and students. It may be apropos to add that the
university held a summer session and has opened this fall under the new board of
directors, of whom the majority are Chinese.

1917

'17 gave such a thorough account of itself at
reunion, and Isabelle Dew wrote such an inter-
esting report for the June Quarterly that I am
sure we all feel pretty well up with class news.
We have had some vacations since, however, and
some moves and plans and joys and sorrows that
everybody wants to share.

We were sorry to hear of the death, early in
September, of Martha Dennison's mother, and we
all sympathize deeply with Martha in her loss.

Moses sent snapshots of their charming daughters
to add to the interest of the 1917 scrapbook.
Frances' daughters have recently assisted in the

longer teaching, except for an occasional substitu-
tion. She plans to busy herself with Music Club

Amy Twitty, '21, in Stratford, and in Edinburgh."

around New England while attending the sum-
mer session at Harvard University.

We continue to regret the loss of our secre-
tary, Laurie (Caldwell) Tucker, who served us
so faithfully and efficiently for ten years. She
writes that she has nothing new to report but

28

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

responds because she knows how the secretary
feels when her letters are not answered. Perhaps
when we have all taken our turn as secretary we
shall feel equally responsible and then when
Laurie's time comes again, won't she have a
great time sitting in the chimney corner, reading
the piles of letters from her white-haired sisters !

The new secretary wants to thank all those who
have co-operated so willingly and responded so
promptly to her plea for assistance. She thorough-
ly enjoys getting the news first and urges that
she not be allowed to miss anything of interest or
importance.

Julia Anderson, ex '17, was married on July
27th to Captain Oscar DuBois McNeely, of the

The stories of how doughty Fire Chief "Pea-
nut" Rowe terrorized Inmanites with her mid-
night fire drills with real smoke, seem pure my-
thology now when we see how placid and domestic
Margaret May Ford (Rowe) Jones has become.
She writes of her thrills over each seed that
sprouts in her flower beds. Mr. Jones is in the
real estate business in Memphis, Tenn.

she is beginning to get better. She writes : "I
have two babies now Mary Burnett, 2%, and
Elizabeth Chilton, who arrived last March. In
Texas, where servants are rare specimens, two
babies and a house to keep are all-engrossing both
as to time and thought."

Emilie Keyes says : "There is little to relate
about myself. I am still at the job I have had
several years reporting on The Palm Beach Post,
morning paper here. Morning paper work keeps
my nose very much to the grindstone, but I like
the work immensely, and am quite accustomed to
the life of a night-hawk. I do straight reporting,
city hall and political stuff largely, with a little
feature work on the side such as a weekly book
review column I am now doing. I was as-
tounded to find in the new register that so many
Agnes Scott girls are here in Palm Beach. They
are most of them strangers to me, but I trust
some time we can all get together."

of excitement.

1922
It is so good to hear directly from our own
particular "daughters" that being class secretary
is a privilege. For days each mail has held let-
ters, no two from any one state in any one day.
Sealed, there was no way to choose which to
open first, so they were opened all at once, ripped
open. Unsealed, they were read all at once, and
this is what they said :

Jeanette (Archer) Neal has been very ill for
several months at her father's hospital in Mon-
treal N. C.

"Do announce the arrival of Samuel Barton
Claytor, Sept. 9," brother of Helen, "now almost
two." Their mother, Helen (Barton) Claytor,
and father are moving to Quincey, Fla., Oct. 20,
where "Ed" will be rector of St. Paul's church.
Their address will be, St. Paul's Rectory, Quincey,
Fla. Do you suppose Helen has forgotten "Bar-
ton's Brewery" of Silhouette fame? Those of '22
who lived on second floor Inman have not.

The other partner in the "Brewery," Mary, has
gone to Baltimore to be reference assistant of the
Enoch Pratt Free Library, after spending part
of the summer with Helen at their family home in
Sewanee. She is "delighted with my new job."
Her present address is, 809 Cathedral St., Balti-
more, Md.

Since the days when she took all our money,
almost painlessly, for the budget, it was written
that Liz Brown would acquire an unusual job,
and handle it. Her very businesslike stationery
says: "Miss Elizabeth Brown, County Welfare
Worker, Executive Secretary Red Cross, Juvenile
Probation Officer, Phone 1464, Albany, Ga."
Wouldn't you know that Liz would do some-
thing as unexpected as that, and aren't you glad
she wasn't Juvenile Probation Officer on Little
Girl Day when we took red apples to Anglo-
Saxon class ? She says, "I'm chasing truants from
morning 'till night." She promises details later.

Nell Buchanan, as usual, is doing a dozen
things at once. She manages a bridge party with
one hand and writes to '22 with the other, in the
meantime planning more European travel two
more trips immediately, one in the spring to the
Mediterranean, sailing April 17, then a general
European tour in the summer, sailing June 23.
Let's go, too ! She half plans to go to Agnes
Scott this fall. Let's go, too !

Cama (Burgess) Clarkson and her small daugh-
ter, spent the summer in the mountains at Little
Switzerland, N. O, and now she is building a
new house and going to parties for brides-to-be.
Her excuse for not writing more is characteris-
tic of many of us, and made one of us homesick
for Agnes Scott, "Then everything has started
meeting again we are having committee meet-
ings, etc., every minute, it's as bad as college."
She adds, "I hope to get to Atlanta and out to
school sometime this winter. It's hard enough
to move around after you get a husband, and
when you get a baby it's harder still." She
and Nell and all of us had better be planning
now to "get to Atlanta" in the spring of 1929.

Gena (Callaway) Merry, after going by boat
last summer from Savannah to New York and
returning by motor, has just experienced the anti-
climax of having tonsils removed. She will be at
the Georgia-Tech game in Atlanta.

Sue Cureton had to take her summer trip in
a rolling chair, because of her arthritis, and her
winter plans consist of a big chair, a fire, an
exciting book, and our part of the Quarterly.
"I hope you can find lots of news to write about
the rest of '22. I'll enjoy that immensely." And
there's no news of some of us ! Surely these will
be present in the next issue. Sue says the most
shocking news of her is the loss of fifty pounds
that we wouldn't know her. Try us and see in
1929!

Edythe (Davis) Croley, says that her past,
present and future plans center in the rearing
of a daughter. Since May, 1922, she has "re-
ceived a certificate from the Carnegie Library
School, June, 1923, spent the summer in Maine,
worked seven months with the Georgia Library
Commission and married in June, 1924." Now,
"I'm just one more perfectly contented and happy
wife and mother."

Mary Floding had an exciting month with
Elizabeth Wilson in New York last summer. She
went up by boat to Boston, attended a dinner-
dance for Chamberlain, "did" New York in fact,
went to Saratoga for the races, to Atlantic City,
to Virginia, and home, en route to Jacksonville
to be maid-of-honor in Mary Goodrich's wedding.
To think that all that was in Mary's head when
she went demurely out to Agnes Scott for the
reunion luncheon and said she hadn't a thing to

30

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

do ! She is back at work in Atlanta now.

Ellen French went to Canada last summer, is
teaching in Thomasville, Ga., this winter, and
says, "of course," she is about to be married !
That's all she said !

"We are four, now," says Otto (Gilbert) Wil-
liams. "Glenn's (my 2-year-old son) little sister
arrived on July 8. Her name is Nell and she has
auburn curls." The family took a short trip to
Washington the first of September, and they
are planning to move this fall. After four years
at Benns Church, they are anxiously awaiting the
verdict of the Methodist Conference at Danville,
November 10, as to their new home. She promises
us her new address as soon as she knows it
herself. She hopes to see Jessie (Watts) Dunton
at the Conference, her husband also being a mem-
ber.

Ivylyn Girardeau is teaching at Silliman College,
Clinton, La., this year, planning to return to Tu-
lane next year for the fearful Junior year of
medical school. She says teaching is play com-
pared with medicine. She has passed her examina-
tions for foreign-mission service, and hopes to be
in China about four years from now. We hope
she'll come to reunion before she goes.

Frances Harper is "fast in the clutches of the
'dead monarchs,' " finishing her last two hours and
thesis for an M. A. in history, at L. S. U., and
teaching high school Latin in Baton Rouge, La.
Her thesis is a translation from a mediaeval
Latin historical document. She and Otto Gilbert
are just 30 miles from each other. Her address
in Batin Rouge is 525 Jackson Street.

Columbia University, coming home down the At-
lantic and stopping at Charleston and Jackson-
ville. This winter she is teaching Latin and
Physical Education in the Franklin High School.

Juanita Kelly motored to Washington, D. O,
last summer and is now teaching at Cumberland
Mountain School, Crossville, Tenn.

Mary Knight's mother has been very ill, but
she has taken time to remember us. '22 is plan-
ning surprise and she is pledged to help. So are
we all ! In the years, 1918-1922, we weren't very
athletic, but we managed to finish everything
else we started. And we can yet. So please look
forward to your mail and answer it. We've
proved our loyalty before. We shall again '22 !

Roberta (Love) Brower has become a Virginian,
moving from Winston-Salem to 3414 Monument
Ave., Richmond, and is keeping house for the first
time in four years of married life. She sends
news of a number of A. S. C. girls well-known
to '22. She, with Nannie Campbell, '23, saw Ellen
Wilson, Margaret Wade, and Peg Bell, plus hus-
band and children all of '21 in Lexington in

("Crip"), '21, is also in Richmond, and Char-
lotte McMurray, ex '24, is at the training school
there. Roberta and Nannie are planning to have

consin, and last summer as Director of Students-
in-Industry in Chicago under the National Student

days, after which she will visit her sister in Mobile
until January then "uncertain."

'22 announces the marriage of Miss Merle Sellers
to Mr. Timothy Houston Faulk at Samson, Ala.
(her present address), June 15, 1927. Viola
(Hollis) Oakley was a guest at the wedding. After
an exciting New York, Quebec, Boston honey-
moon, Merle is keeping house in an equally excit-
ing bungalow. She has lost trace of Catherine
Haugh and wants news of her. Please !

Margaret (Smith) Lyon spent last May in New
York and Providence (Really, New York is a
sort of suburb of Agnes Scott!) and had a short
trip to the Ozarks in the summer. Now she is
looking after home and family three and a
half year old Roy at 2221 Court Ave., Memphis,
Tennessee.

Althea Stephens is back at Logan College as di-

Sarah Till the new class secretary is suffering
from writer's cramp ! She had the time of her
life last summer putting on "The Old Peabody
Pew" in her small home town, with a cast of
matrons who had never before appeared on the
stage. The authentic costumes were furnished
by the town at large, and everybody else did the
work! (Sarah is the best class secretary ever!
'22 is lucky to have her!)

Ruth Virden is back with the Y. in Wilmington,
North Carolina.

Ethel Ware is still teaching at North Avenue
Presbyterian School in Atlanta.

Alice (Whipple) Lyons would also make an
excellent secretary ! Her young daughter, just a

union. Next time we shall have Alice and Alice
II. At a party given the other day by Cama
(Burgess) Clarkson's mother for Alethea Bland,
sister of Margaret Bland, '20, she saw Margaret,

stuff from the woman's viewpoint, and the latter
part of this week I am to go down to Baltimore
for a feature story. I have the personal responsi-
bility of a daily information feature which makes

York City, eight weeks abroad from Spain and
Africa to Norway and Sweden, three weeks in
Kentucky and Alabama one in Louisville, one
in Bowling Green and one in Anniston, with

wrote in July: "I've been a widow for two days
now, and it's no fun ! George has sailed for the
United States, whence in a short while he is to .
sail for Europe, so I'm staying on here through
October and will meet him on his return to New
York on the dock waving a red hanky ! Mother

improve so rapidly. I certainly do like Anniston.
I see Mary Evelyn (Arnold) Barker, ex '24, and
her darling daughter, Jane, and Virginia Ordway
all quite often. I have not had so many glimpses
of Virge since school started. Diddie lives right
behind me, and I see her two cherubs coming
out of her back door now and starting for mine,
so I am in for a noisy half hour. Then I must
snap the beans for dinner. Can you believe it is
Nonie Peck writing this?"

ogy at Easley, S. O, for the third year. She went

Whenever you hear of Mary Bess Bowdoin and
Theta Manly they are traveling over the state
attending meetings of the Georgia Press Associa-
tion. A lot of business may be transacted at these
meetings, but they sound very much like pro-
gressive house parties. Mary Bess and Theta are
firm believers in "the power of the press." The
Dalton newspaper, of which Theta is society edi-
tor, won a loving cup at the state meeting as one
of the best sheets in Georgia, and Theta was the
proud editor who had to walk up the aisle and
receive it. The Georgia Press Association will
take a trip to New York next spring, so it is a
sure thing that Mary Bess and Theta will con-
tinue to be newspaper women at least that long.

of working in bridge parties, horseback rides,
teas, cross-country car trips (on these perfect
North Carolina roads, to which after having
passed the greater portion of my adulthood bump-
ing over the Georgia specimens, I cannot become
accustomed), semi-daily trips to the drugstore,
shopping excursions to Charlotte, picture shows
and all of the remaining glitter of the present-
day world, and still managing to find spare
moments in which to teach, is proving too great
a problem for my feeble brain to fathom. I am
staying with my aunt and uncle here, in their
new home, with everything to delight my soul
from a bowl of goldfish to an automobile." Lit's

like nothing better than camping. We went from

through eating it."

a busy time of it this summer, though I suppose it

revivals, entertaining company, paying visits, etc.
Among other things, I have taken in two regular
old-fashioned Methodist camp meetings and they
are certainly experiences of a lifetime."

spend two weeks at Montreat and saw lots of
Agnes Scott girls. We had an A. S. C. luncheon
one day."

Floy Sadler was at home in Oakland, Fla., this
summer until the first of July. "I was having a
good old time at home and for once in my life was
playing bridge as often and as long as I wanted,
for bridge parties were our chief source of
amusement, with some swimming, tennis and golf.
Then the first of July I took a position with the
Tampa Public Library in the reference depart-
ment. I am staying on here in Tampa this winter,

runs over for week-ends. Agatha Deaver is living

Carolyn (Smith) Whipple has the most adorable
little dark-haired baby daughter. She says : "I
hate to write a letter now because my communi-
cation revolves chiefly around such topics as
orange juice, cream of wheat, and cod liver oil.
I realize, however, that the majority of the class
won't be interested, so I'll spare them. Suffice it
to say that Barbara is a most interesting per-
son to me, anyway. She and I are both looking
forward to the Baby Show in the spring, particu-
larly since we are under the impression that most
of the class babies are boys. Even at the tender
age of five months she has already showed a de-
cided preference for the stronger sex. Elizabeth
(Lockhart) Davis, '23, and I have worked out a
very nice system of co-operative housekeeping. It
is working fine, and anyone interested may com-
municate with us at 200 Church Street, Decatur,
and find out how it's done. Best wishes to the
rest of '25 !"

and Janice are really splendid cooks. We are
living in style on $3.25 per week per capita for
food, and getting fat all except Mary ; she is
staying fat ! The work at the University is hec-
tic. We look over the lists of examinations in
the scrapbook in the library and tremble. But
we are so delighted that we can even find our
classes and understand the Northern vocabulary
that we forget such troubles as examinations and
go rejoicing on our way. It's a beautiful relief
from school-teaching, at any rate."

Emily Spivey is teaching again in Hartwell, Ga.

three other girls to listen to Ghibant's interpreta-
tion courses at the Ecole Nororde de Musique
where I studied before, and to translate Cartot's
piano courses for one of the three while the other
two studied French. I visited a week in Dun-
fernshire, Scotland, then we got to London at
the time of the derby. We were in London when
Lindbergh landed there. I had a contract from
a store in Richmond to buy models for them, with
the firm offering to pay the duty and one hundred
per cent profit if each model was distinctive.
I came back from Europe with thirty dresses in
two suitcases, and they took them all ! I am
teaching French in the high school in South
Boston, Va." Poky's street address is 1307 Bar-
bour Street.

Elizabeth (Woltz) Currie is back home in
Carthage. She writes : "I am just now beginning
to feel strong after spending the greater part
of August and September in bed. Three weeks
in a hospital away from your home town and a
serious operation are bad experiences, to say the
least. Just as soon as I am able to do so, I
shall start my housekeeping again. We are so
very happy with Wilbur's mother, but keeping
one's own new house is such fun that I can
hardly wait to begin again."

Mary Ben Wright left Emory last June. "I
kept house all summer and am now doing adver-
tising with the Macmillan Publishing Company

ter, learning people's married names and ad-

1927
Just last May the one hundred and three mem-
bers of the class of '27 were all together at Agnes
Scott, and now, only five months later, we have
scattered east and west and settled into various
positions, schools and universities. Some of us
have crossed the ocean since that never-to-be-for-
gotten graduation day, and some few have started
on the great adventure of matrimony and are now
in homes of their own. But though interested in
so many different things, though living in so many
different cities and states and even countries, the
love of class and college will always hold to-
gether those who marched in cap and gown under
the elm trees last May while the strains of Ancient
of Days floated out across the campus. The class
roll-call finds us engaged in the following things :

mer in Europe with her parents. Mary had not

and her story of how she met and recognized

ling. Dr. Ferguson is teaching Hebrew at the
University of Chicago this winter, so the family
have taken an apartment there, and Mary is en-
joying family life again. She will do some grad-
uate work at the University.

sent in to the Alumnae Office. Almost every
alumna, in returning her questionnaire and dues
slip, sent in some help in locating the lost
alumnae. It would be an impossible task for the
office to thank each of them individually for
this most valuable help, so the secretary takes
this opportunity to tell them all how much their
help was appreciated. Some alumnae sent in as
many as twenty "clues." These are being fol-
lowed up now, and .as soon as the addresses are
verified, they will be printed in the Quarterly.
There are still, however, a number of alumnae who
persist in remaining lost. Please be on the look-
out for them, and continue your help in tracing
them down.

CLEO HEARON
For Ten Years, Head of the Department of History

Miss Cleo Hearon was born in Lowndes County, Missis-
sippi, October 27, 1879. She received her preparatory educa-
tion in Denver, Colo., and in Bristol, Va., and her college
training at the Mississippi State College for Women at Colum-
bus, Miss., and at the University of Chicago. She was grad-
uated with the Ph.B. degree at the University of Chicago in
1903, and she received her M.A. in history from the same in-
stitution in 1909.

She became a member of the faculty of the Mississippi
State College for Women in 1907, at first in the department
of English, and later in history. During the years 1912-13,
she was on leave of absence from the college to work towarcf
her Ph.D. degree at the University of Chicago, and she held
a fellowship from the University during that year.
Her work was of such excellence that she was elected to membership in the honor
society of Phi Beta Kappa, and in 1913 received the degree of doctor of philosophy
with highest honors. Her dissertation on Mississippi and the Compromise of 1850,
which she presented in fulfillment of the requirements of this degree, is an important
contribution not only to state, but to national history.

After completing her work in Chicago, she taught in Westhampton College, Rich-
mond, Va., in Wellesley College, Massachusetts, and in Ripon College, Wisconsin.
From 1918 until her death she was head of the Department of History of Agnes
Scott College. During the summer of 1926 she was one of the group of uni-
versity professors sent by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to study
conditions in Europe. For several years she was regional director of the South At-
lantic district of the American Association of University of Women.

Exacting in her standards of scholarship and citizenship, she never compromised
when it was a matter of fundamentals; and everyone on the campus faculty and
students knew that Miss Hearon always could be counted on to champion and
encourage every movement which looked to the advancement of her beloved Agnes
Scott; and everyone could be equally as certain of finding in her an implacable foe
if the matter under discussion involved the lowering of the standards and ideals of
the college in any way.

Her services to Agnes Scott have been manifold, and it was only fitting that they
should be recognized last year in her election to Hoasc. She was the founder of
the Lecture Association, and the International Relations Club, she sponsored the
college branch of the Junior League of Women Voters, and the American Association
of University Women. With Dr. Armistead, she has been largely responsible for the
development and phenomenal success of intercollegiate debating at Agnes Scott for
the past ten years. Again, with Dr. Armistead, it was in great part due to her
untiring efforts that Agnes Scott secured a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa.

But over and above everything else, her greatest service to our college has been
her presence with us for the last ten years. The very fact of her being a member
of the faculty has given the college prestige in the outside world. We were always
proud to have her represent us in any capacity, and her gracious and charming
personality won the college many friends.

Miss Hearon had been very ill for several months, so that in one sense her death
was not a shock to us. But it will always be with a strange feeling of unreality that
we remember that she does not walk our campus still, and that though we climb the
stairs to her little room in Lupton, she is not there.

DR. McCAIN DISCUSSES AGNES SCOTT'S FUTURE
If We Had Forty Million Dollars

A few days ago, a friend asked me this question: "What kind of an institution
would you try to build if Mr. Duke had left you forty million dollars for the develop-
ment of Agnes Scott?" While it was a strictly hypothetical question, it caused me to
think over again some things that always face us at Agnes Scott, and I would like
to share with the Alumnae some of the considerations.

Purpose and Ideals

Would an unlimited sum of money affect our general purpose? I do not believe
it would. From the days when the institution was Decatur Female Seminary with
two teachers and sixty-two grammar-grade children as pupils, its founders purposed
that it should be a standard college, and only that. Since it has gained recognition
in that class, the question is raised as to whether we should not look forward to grad-
uate or professional schools. The answer has always been in the negative. We want
Agnes Scott to be the best undergraduate college in all the world either for men
or women, and we wish the curriculum to be so rich and varied that every strong
girl may find provision for her special talents and interests; but we still feel that the
cultural college is our field. It is a great one and it is a distinctive one.

Also our ideals as to thoroughness of scholarship, simplicity of living, interest in
world service, and a vital (but non-sectarian) religious life, would not conceivably be
affected in large measure by either our poverty or our wealth. They are as much
a part of us as the very spelling of our name.

Physical Development

If we had $40,000,000 we would no doubt see the greatest changes in the campus,
buildings and general equipment. We should want at least five hundred acres of
land and an entirely new plant, perhaps with Gothic stone architecture, and certainly
with plenty of room, with space for everybody and for every activity. It would be
great to get rid of the packed, cramped, crowded feeling we have had for many
years.

There would be a satisfaction about a new plant that would be thrilling, and it
would be impressive on the country, but would it be an unmixed blessing? Perhaps
there is something of value in being so poor that we must keep some of the old
things. Associations and traditions around a campus may be educational. Would
Harvard have quite the same flavor without its old-fashioned, antiquated Adminis-
tration Building in the very heart of the campus? Columbia is in great need of
building space, but it still has room for little, old East Hall. In some such manner,
perhaps "Main" and the tower and other familiar objects around our campus may
link the old to the new in such fashion as will make us of the new day better able
to "carry on" the spirit of the College.

Size of the College

One of the most interesting questions that would arise if we had unlimited
money would be to determine the number of students to take. Is it ideal to have a
small college or a large one? A great deal has been said and written about the ad-

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 7

vantages of the small institution, but some of these things are seriously questioned.
What are some possible weaknesses of a small institution? (1) If it is strictly first-
class, though small, the overhead costs are quite large, and the college will have to
charge high rates. The same officers could of course handle large numbers and
distribute the cost more easily. (2) It is difficult to have enough students in the
elective classes to make them interesting. This involves not only the quality of the
work, but also the question of getting and keeping the strongest teachers, as these
prefer the advanced courses. ( 3 ) The ranges of friendship are somewhat limited
in proportion, as the numbers are reduced. (4) The smaller the college the less
likely it is to come to the attention of prospective students or prospective givers.
(5) As a rule, the curriculum of the small institution will not measure up to the
larger one in richness of meaning or in the variety of courses. (6) It is hardly to
be expected that the Alumnae of the small college will make as great a total impress
on the world as if there were more of them and if they could be gathered in larger
numbers in the centers of influence.

On the other hand there are certain definite values in keeping the College small,
and we mean by that about 500 to 700 students. (1) The selection of students
is possible when the number of acceptances is small and the applicants are relatively
numerous, as with us now. There is a consequent higher average of student quality.
(2) The maintenance of democracy in campus life, so prized at Agnes Scott, is
easier; for the larger numbers call for more complex social organizations, sororities,
and the like. (3) Friendliness is one of the real assets possible in the small college
and beyond question a valuable one. (4) The contacts between faculty and students
are blessings that are more likely to be simple and helpful in the small college. It
depends somewhat on the teachers themselves. The officers certainly have a chance
to know the students better and to know about them if there are not so many of
them. The Alumnae also can know one another, and all realize what a satisfaction
this is. ( 5 ) Perhaps the greatest single argument for the small college is the fact
that an average girl will have so much more opportunity to take part in college ac-
tivities. The very active student will participate anywhere, and the very poor one
nowhere; but in the small institution an average one may have a leading part in some
worthy organization.

When we weigh all the considerations, it seems best for our day at least to
keep the college of modest size, whether wealthy or not; and as we have no choice as
yet of anything but respectable poverty we can all agree that this must be the Agnes
Scott policy.

It is interesting to let our fancy play around the spending of a huge sum of
money. As I think of it myself, there are remarkably few things, comparatively, that
money would make us change; and yet there are some that we need a very great deal,
quite a sufficient number to keep us from dreaming long at a time. It is for these
new building and equipment needs that I hope we may have the help of all our Agnes
Scott forces, especially a new steam plant, a recitation building, and a chapel.

FOUNDERS' DAY CELEBRATION FEBRUARY 22ND.

Through the courtesy of the Sears Roebuck radio department, who have given
us their hour on the air that night, February 22nd Founders' Day will be cele-
brated this year by the third annual radio program broadcast over WSB, the Atlanta
Journal's station, beginning at six-thirty P. M., central time.

Mrs. Lewis Johnson (Gussie O'Neal) is arranging the musical numbers and the
program of speeches is being gotten in shape by the alumnae secretary.

The idea of reaching Agnes Scott alumnae through a radio program was first
conceived two years ago. An enthusiastic response from the alumnae body greeted
the first program on February 22nd, 1926. Last year even more alumnae were
notified in time to listen in on the program, and this year, with the alumnae
address list in better shape than it has ever been before, we hope to have a larger
audience than last year's.

Plans are well under way for alumnae dinners and gatherings in the towns and
cities where there are large groups of alumnae. The following alumnae are in charge
of arrangements for the Founders' Day program in their towns:

10 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

OUR LONG NEGLECTED ALUMNI

Agnes Scott a co-ed institution? Unthinkable! We are quite used to the young
men callers who throng the halls and parlors and colonade every evening, but the
idea of boys attending classes, dashing with the crowd to the mailroom at 9:30 in the
morning, or draped over the library tables taking History 101 notes, is simply pre-
posterous! Yet there are six men who can truthfully claim to be alumni of Agnes
Scott.

Back in 1889 when Agnes Scott was founded as the Decatur Female Seminary,
there were six little town boys enrolled as pupils the name of the institution to
the contrary. They were so far outnumbered by the young ladies, that they felt
they must resort to very violent measures in order to make their presence known.
And so in the classrooms they pulled curls, threw spitballs, dipped plait-ends in ink-
wells, and made themselves such general nuisances that at the beginning of the
second year of the Seminary's existence the faculty were firm in insisting that only
females be admitted as pupils. Poor little boys! Thrust out of the Seminary gates
because they would assert their masculinity! Thus, in 1890, co-education at Agnes
Scott was pronounced a failure.

As the years passed, the Seminary became an Institute, and the Institute a Col-
lege, and the fact of our alumni's existence was almost forgotten. Hundreds of
alumnae are ignorant of the fact that living in California, in North Carolina, in
Alabama, and in Georgia, there are six men who have the right to be rather bewildered
when the "Alma Mater" contains such lines as "The love of our girlhood is thine."

But Miss Hopkins did not forget her boys! And in October, just after the
Alumnae Register had' b^een mailed out, she received this letter, which we partially
quote; .." , V . * , " " '

"*'-' ' ' f * Riverside, California.

"Dear Allss Hopkins:

Last -Sunday -..at ternoon I so far waivered from your early training as to spend
part of the time 'looking twer the last number of the Alumnae Register. I find it
extremely interesting, especially as it recalls so many things, and memories of a great
many friends. It seems to me, however, that this publication is very deficient in
one respect: I don't find my name therein, either as an ex-student, or as a "lost sister."
Personally I have been rather proud all these years of having been at one time con-
nected with such a wonderful institution, and I am rather disappointed that the powers
that be have not been equally as proud to have had me with them. Knowing as
you do the aggressiveness of the modern young female, and the shrinking, violet-
like nature of the modern young male, you can probably appreciate the courage
it required on the part of six little boys back in '89 to be associated with so many
of the opposite sex. Really I think we should have received a Carnegie medal, and
here we are ignored in all the publications relating to the early history of Agnes
Scott! . . ."

Mr. Mead is right: we have ignored our alumni too long. To prove to them
that we are repentant, and truly "proud to have had them with us," the Alumnae
Quarterly (which will probably have to change its name to the Alumnae and Alumni
Quarterly now) is glad to print in this issue something of the lives of these six "sons
of Agnes Scott."

David Crockett was married to Miss Ruth Stephens, of Atlanta. They are living
now in High Point, N. C, where he is in the lumber business. They have two sons,
David, Jr., who was graduated last year from the University of Alabama, and
Stephens, who is at present a student at Emory University.

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 11

Donald Donaldson is living within two blocks of Agnes Scott, at 726 S. Candler
St., Decatur. His wife was a Miss Greenlee. They have no children. He is em-
ployed by the government as deputy collector of internal revenue.

After completing his education at Hampden-Sidney, the University of Virginia,
and Johns Hopkins University, Lewis Gaines is practicing medicine in Atlanta. His
home address is 52 Park Lane. He was married to Ethel Alexander, a graduate of
Agnes Scott in the class of 1900. Their three children are Eloise, who is now a
Senior at Agnes Scott; Alexander, who attends the Atlanta Boys High School; and
Virginia, of grammar school age.

Malcolm Hendee has lived in Augusta, Ga., since he was eighteen. He married
Miss Donna Verdery of that city. Their two sons are Malcolm, Jr., graduate of
Clemson College in '27, now working with the General Electric Company in Schenec-
tady, New York; and Parks, who is a student at the Junior College in Augusta. Mr.
Hendee holds the responsible position of commercial agent with the Augusta-Aiken
Street Railway Company. The Hendees live at 220 Greene Street.

Albert S. Mead was a brother of Florence (Mead) Cheney and Helen (Mead)
Carrey. Like Lewis Gaines, he married an Agnes Scott girl Susie Hunter. They
are now living at 318 Brocton Avenue, in Riverside, Calif., where Mr. Mead is head
of the Riverside Mortgage Company. They have four children. To quote again
from Mr. Mead's letter to Miss Hopkins: "Elizabeth, the oldest girl, having taken
two years in college and one in the library school which is equivalent to one year in
college, is now holding down a good position in the Los Angeles County Library.
Hunter is in Pomona college, enjoying his work very much. He is majoring in pipe
organ. The two youngest are still in school here, and are growing like weeds."

The sixth little boy was Albert Swanton, brother of Estelle (Swanton) Kerr and
Eleanor (Swanton) Thomasson, and brother-in-law of Estelle (Almand) Swanton.
He is living in Birmingham, Ala., at 1575 Sloss Avenue. He gives his occupation as
electrician, traveling for the Chicago Fuse Company. He is married and has no
children.

This is the history of our alumni. If they are not careful the alumnae office will
form them into a men's auxiliary and have them ardent workers for the Alumnae (and
Alumni!) Association.

OPEN FORUM

More Talk About the Agnes Scott House in New York. Four
Alumnae Give Their Opinions.

An Agnes Scott House in New York would not have appealed to me at all this
time last year, when I was preparing to go to New York. I had the idea that I
wanted to get away from familiar things and people and make all new contacts. But
after trying a winter of all new contacts in New York, I say let's have an Agnes
Scott apartment there by all means! Living alone in New York among strangers is an
experience I shouldn't care to repeat.

Indeed, I should like to stay at an Agnes Scott apartment if I were studying in
New York, though for a very different reason from the one I imagine most alumnae
would use. My point in staying there would not be to live with people I know in
such a homelike atmosphere that I should hurry home to it each evening, but to
have my living arrangements so normal and familiar and perfectly safe that I
should not have to think about them at all, but could dismiss that from my mind
and spend my spare time out doing the things I'd like and hobnobbing with the new

12 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

friends I hope to make. This is going at it backwards and not at all as I know
the people who want to establish the Agnes Scott apartment there mean for alumnae
to look at it. Nevertheless, it is the frank statement of why I am an ardent supporter
of the plan and should be the first to sign up for space there during my stay in
the city.

Because I went to the same college with Mary Doe and Mary Roe is no reason why
I should spend the rest of my life with them. Living on the corridor with them in
Inman Hall where there are a hundred other girls is a very different proposition from
living with them in a New York apartment where there are only eight or ten. If
they happened to be my close personal friends, all right; but about eight chances out
of ten they would be merely college acquaintances. Another thing: during my
undergraduate days I simply adored dormitory life: the more the merrier. I moved
heaven and earth to move from Lupton College over to Rebeckah Scott Hall. But
now that I am out of school I don't feel the "gang urge" so strongly. Ten girls are
too many to live intimately with in a more or less family group. You asked for a
frank expression of opinion on this subject: here is mine. I should be glad to drop
around at the Agnes Scott apartment about two afternoons during the winter for
tea, but as to living there never!

The idea of having an Agnes Scott House in New York is the best I've heard in
a long, long time. Last summer I was in New York for two months and the ques-
tion of where to stay was not very easily settled. Had an Agnes Scott House been
there, I might have seen more of New York instead of spending two-fifths of the time
going to the far ends of the Bronx and Brooklyn.

Sometime in the near future, I am going back for more than a few months, and
to be able to stay with "Hottentots" will be ideal. Every Agnes Scott girl goes to
New York at one time or another, and not every one has friends there. This means
staying at a hotel. I should think that each Agnes Scott girl would be willing to pay
so much a year to support the apartment in New York, so that when she does go,
she will be sure of a room among friends. I am willing to do anything to see this
Agnes Scott House materialize.

ALUMNAE LOCAL CLUBS

On December 13, 1927, ten Agnes Scott alumnae in Jacksonville, Fla., met at
the home of Louise (Capen) Baker and formed an Agnes Scott club to meet on
the fourth Monday of every month. A constitution and by-laws were adopted, and
the following officers were elected:

Gertrude (Briesnick) Ross, president.

Alice Lake Jones, vice-president.

Charlotte Buckland, secretary-treasurer.

Mary Ellen Colyer and Janet Newton, members of executive committee.

The next meeting will be on January 23 at the home of Alice Lake Jones. It
was voted to' include in the Jacksonville club the alumnae of Fernandina and Gaines-
ville, also.

Dr. McCain and Mr. Stukes, who were in Jacksonville for the meeting of the
Southern Education Association, were guests of the club at its first meeting.

The Birmingham, Ala., club is doing well this year. Elizabeth (Ransom) Hahn
is the new president. The club secretary writes: "We are meeting in the homes this
year, and having sandwiches and tea at the end of the program a thing we haven't

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 13

done before. We have had some dandy meetings: one at Dorothy (Bowron) Collins'
where her grandmother talked on 'Travel;' one at Nell Esslinger's studio, where
Nell and Mary (Bryan) Winn gave a musical program; one in charge of Louise
(Buchanan) Proctor on 'Antiques.' We are so delighted to have Lou with us now."

The Memphis, Tenn., alumnae meet the first Friday in each month at 3 P. M.
Louie Dean (Stephens) Hays writes: "On January 6th seven of us met with Margaret
(Leavitt) Turner. She was elected president and I was elected secretary. Here is a
list of those present: Nell (Coats) Pentecost, Sarah (Hightower) Barnes, Mabel
(Hyland) Cunningham, Margaret (Rowe) Jones, Cecile (Bowden) Mayfield, Mar-
garet (Leavitt) Turner, and myself. Margaret (Smith) Lyon is a member, but
she was visiting in Alabama. Laura (Speck) Steele is also a member, but was pre-
vented from attending the meeting that afternoon. We are planning to listen in on
February 22nd to the radio program. The next meeting will be with me on
February 3rd, and we are looking forward to the news 'letter from the alumnae
office."

Roberta (Love) Brower entertained the Richmond, Va., alumnae at their Novem-
ber meeting.

The annual Christmas bazaar sponsored by the Atlanta Alumnae Club was held
at the home of Mrs. Asa Warren Candler (Hattie Lee West) in Druid Hills. The
Agnes Scott Glee Club came out from the college to sing. There were tables of
dolls, baby clothes, aprons, cakes and candies, bridge sets, kitchen things, linens, etc.
Each member of the club furnished the names of ten people whom they thought
would be interested in coming, and a general invitation was issued through the
Atlanta newspapers.

The regular November meeting of the club was held at the Atlanta Woman's
Club Building in the Palm Room. Plans for the bazaar were completed at that
time. The Alumnae Secretary was the guest of the club for the afternoon, and told
in an informal way of the happenings on the campus recently.

The Decatur Club gave a tea to the Senior girls of the Prep Schools in Atlanta
and Decatur on December 9th at the Anna Young Alumnae House. Christmas dec-
orations were used throughout the house, and a welcome log fire burned in the big
fireplace in the living room. The receiving line was composed of Mary Knox, presi-
dent of the club; Martha Crowe, vice president; Elizabeth Lynn, secretary and
treasurer. Ethel Ware, Sarah Fulton and Polly Stone met the girls at the door. Miss
Alexander poured tea in the dining-room, and was assisted in serving the girls by
Frances Rainey, Ruth Thomas, Ruth Pirkle, Margaret Phythian, Elizabeth McCallie
and Louise Bansley. The Yellowjacket Quartet from Georgia Tech came out and
furnished songs and banjo solos for the occasion. After the tea, some of the students
carried the High School girls over to the gym to see a water polo game that was
in progress between the Seniors and Juniors.

At the January meeting of the club, Mrs. Sydenstricker spoke to the girls. The
Decatur club meets in the living-room of the Alumnae House in the evening, so that
the girls who work in town can attend. This is by far the most successful year
the club has ever had.

SCHOLARSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT

Dr. McCain has announced that through the Institute of International Education
a Fellowship will be given next year for some French girl to study at Agnes Scott.
This Fellowship includes room, board, laundry and tuition. The Institute will select
for this fellowship some French student who speaks her own language fluently and
who will be able to aid in the Romance Languages Department of the College.

The aim of the Institute of International Education is to develop international
good will and understanding through educational agencies. For a number of years
it has been bringing over to the United States a fine body of students from France,
Germany, Czecho-slovakia, Hungary, Switzerland, and just recently, Spain, in in-
ternational exchange fellowships granted by our colleges and universties, and has been
sending American students abroad on reciprocal fellowships to study at the universities
in those countries.

There are a number of these Fellowships to study in foreign countries which Agnes
Scott alumnae might be interested in investigating. Since each country naturally
requires a knowledge of its language, study in Czecho-slovakia and Hungary need
not be discussed here. The German universities Berlin, Bonn, Breslau, Frankfort,
Giessen, Goettingen, Heidelberg, Marburg, Munich and Tuegingen, have established a
number of fellowships covering tuition, board, and lodging. Evidence of a good
working knowledge of German is required of all candidates. American fellows are
required, to reside in Germany at least ten months. Applications must be submitted
on or before February 15.

The Universities of Switzerland offer to American students a number of tuition
scholarships. Last year these were available at the Universities of Basle, Berne, Frei-
burg, Geneva, Neuchatel, and Zurich. Evidence of a good working knowledge of
French or German, preferably both, is required of candidates. American fellows are
required to reside in Switzerland until the end of the academic year, which usually
ends about the middle or end of July. During the long vacation periods, especially
between terms (March 1 to April 15), exceptional opportunity is afforded to visit
in Switzerland and the surrounding countries of Europe. Applications must be sub-
mitted on or before March 1.

Application blanks and information about the international exchange fellowships
and scholarships may be obtained from Archie M. Palmer, Assistant Director, Institute
of International Education, 2 W. 45th St., New York, N. Y.

There are a number of fellowships and scholarships available for study in the
American Universities. An announcement just received at the alumnae office is from
Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York Dr. Sweet's alma mater. They offer ten
fellowships of $500 with free tuition; ten fellowships in the School of Citizenship
and Public Affairs of $500 and free tuition, and sixteen scholarships of $170, covering
graduate school tuition. Applications should be in by March 15. For more detailed
information, write the Dean of the Graduate School, Syracuse University, Syracuse,
New York.

LETTERS FROM FAR-AWAY ALUMNAE

I. Emmie (Ficklen) Harper, '24, writes from Jubbulpore, India:

There is so much to tell you about India and our work that we will not say much about our
trip out. We did not find the sea too rough and managed to enjoy the long days on the water.
Our two weeks in England and France will long be remembered. We saw most of the "sights" in
London and Paris and made side trips into the Shakespeare country in England, and to Versailles
in France. We crossed the Channel in the daytime and were able to see the chalk cliffs of Dover
and the scenery around Calais. The most delightful trip by train was from Paris down to Marseilles.

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 15

We ran along through farms and villages and saw the quaint villagers at their work. Prom Marseilles
our ship skirted along the coasts of Corsica, Sardinia, and Italy, and with the aid of glasses we could
see a bit of the villages and people whom we passed. Our first real contact with the Orient came
when we put in at Port Said. The water around our ship soon became filled with the boats of the
merchants who came out to haggle with the passengers over the prices of their wares. The boats con-
tained almost every conceivable thing which one could buy. It is true that we saw no heavy
furniture, but there were rugs, boxes, baskets, fruit, cigars, candies, beads, shawls, clothing of all
kinds, etc. When we went ashore we were beseiged by the hawkers who insisted on trying to
sell us something which we insisted that we did not want! Here we had our first experience with that
system which is a vital part of the life of the Orient bargaining. The one who is buying attempts
finally to make the purchase for one-third or one-fourth of the original price asked. Then he knows
he is paying about twice what the article is worth! After the trade is made the merchant shows
that he holds no ill will toward you by asking for a bakshish a tip. The world out here moves
forward on the bakshish.

We landed in Bombay on September 9th. After spending the day there we proceeded on up
country to Jubbulpore. One would hardly say that the Indian "Pullman" was built for comfort.
It consists of a compartment about twelve feet long. On either side and down the middle are
benches, sometimes slightly padded. The benches are about two feet wide. The "uppers" consist of
shelves of the same width. One carries his own bedding, towels, soap, etc. Naturally one enjoys
great privacy during his evening repose. There are only eight or ten other people in the compartment,
and for safety the lights are kept burning all night. At each station there is usually much confusion
as passengers depart and others take their places. But in spite of these petty annoyances we managed
to sleep well on our way to Jubbulpore, and on the other trips which we have taken. One never
drinks water out here unless it has been boiled.

No doubt you will be interested to know something about the College, about Jubbulpore, the
other missionaries, and just what we are doing. The India Methodist Theological College is the only
English speaking theological school of our church in India. This means that we have men here
from all parts of India. About eight different language groups are represented. In order to under-
stand each other the students have to speak English. The students present a very interesting sight
when they come together, for there is considerable difference in costume and in general appearance.
Some of the men wear ordinary trousers, others wear loose fitting trousers of white cloth called
"pyjamas," and still others wear a kind of skirt. They either throw a shawl around their shoulders
or wear ordinary coats. The wives of the students wear many-colored saris which consists of a
piece of cloth about five yards long draped gracefully about them. In the two months which we
have been here we have come to think a lot of these students. There are numerous social occasions
as well as the class room work which bring us together. In the afternoons we often visit with them
or take part in their athletic contests. We have found that learning Hindi is not our only language
problem. We are the first Southerners with whom the students have come in contact, so they have
as much trouble and amusement over our Southern accent as the folks in New York had last year!

We have a real large missionary family here in Jubbulpore. In addition to the faculty of the
Theological College there are four Methodist ladies in charge of a large girls' school operated by
the Women's Foreign Missionary Society. Jubbulpore is the headquarters for the work of the Disciples
Church in India and they have quite a number of people here. The Wesleyan Methodist and Church
of England also have work. In all there must be about thirty missionaries at work in the area of
Jubbulpore. Once each month there is a business and social meeting of the missionaries. At other
times there are frequent tennis matches followed by tea, or dinner parties and musical programs at one
or another of the missionary homes. Furthermore, since Jubbulpore is quite the centre of things for
this province various religious workers are frequently passing through. We need not ever have
occasion to say that we are lonesome for other missionary company!

We were very much surprised to find how comfortable our house is. When compared to our
apartment of last year the size of our cottage seems to us like a mansion. But because of the heat
the rooms must be large and the ceilings high. All of the walls, inside and out, are made of brick
whitewashed over. The floors are large slabs of stone. There are many windows and doors. But
with a few curtains and pictures the place can be made quite homelike. Things grow exceedingly
well here, so our yard is filled with trees and many varieties of flowers. Emmie finds home life far
from monotonous. There is the weekly visit of the dhobi, or washer-man. His approach is always
viewed with fear and trembling. Mark Twain once said, "India is the land where they split rocks
with the tail of a shirt." This is an accurate statement, for the dhobi does his washing down on the
river bank and uses a stone for his scrub board. He dips the garment into the river, gathers it up
by two ends, twirls it around his head several times, and then brings it down on the stone with a
whack! Under such treatment buttons have no show and one's favorite dress or shirt is liable to
come back with ventilation holes where they were never intended. Then there is the durzi, or sewing
man. There is no limit to the number of things which he will attempt to make out of a piece of
cloth. You just give him the cloth and a dress or suit as a pattern and finally he will hand back

16 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

to you a duplicate. It is said that one of them accurately reproduced a patch on a new suit in
exactly the same spot where he found one on the old suit! And then one can look forward to
the visits of the various merchants. One sits on his own veranda and looks at the wares of the cake
walla, the basket walla, the cloth walla, the vegetable walla, etc. There is the usual bargaining and
bakshish mentioned before.

Jubbulpore is a city of about 100,000 inhabitants. It is quite an important military post, so
there are a number of English soldiers here. The English civil population also amounts to several
thousands. The city is really divided into two sections, the native and the foreign. The College
is located in the foreign area in order to avoid the various epidemics and plagues, but we all go
over into the city quite often. In the shops we are able to buy most of the necessities of food and
clothing. It is true that European things cost a bit more than Indian, and it's almost impossible
to get American-made articles. The shops of the bazaar are most fascinating. They usually con-
sist of a kind of shed built along the edges of the streets. There are no sidewalks, so the carts
and people almost brush up against the wares on display. There are the cloth shops, the brass shops,
the food stalls, hardware shops, trinket shops, etc. Shopping is an . interesting procedure. One goes
in and sits down, usually on the floor since Indians do not use chairs. Then the merchant displays his
wares. He will show you everything he has in his store in order to make a sale of only a few
cents. Time is no consideration with him. It usually takes a whole afternoon to buy a few yards
of cloth and the necessary thread. There will be the customary bargaining and a whole lot of talk
over each purchase. Our great difficulty at present is in withstanding the temptation to buy
everything we see! Many things are really very pretty, and the prices seem ridiculously low.

The Hindu community seems to have a holiday of some sort almost every week. During
the past two months there have been two long holiday periods, each more than a week in length.
Yesterday and the day before were Mela days, that is days on which the Hindus took special baths
down at the sacred river. The Melas are important occasions and remind an American of the County
Fair days at home. Booths of all sorts are erected on the river bank, and marvel of marvels, there
is a merry-go-round and a ferris wheel to furnish entertainment for young and old. Of course the
Hindus observe as many European holidays as they can, so one wonders how they ever get any
work done! One of the holiday weeks ended in an interesting ceremony. Just as dark fell each
Hindu home and place of business was lighted with dozens of little lamps. These were placed
along the edges of the verandas and on the roofs. A few lamps were also placed in the windows. The
electric lights of the city were shut off so that the little lights would show up better. Then sky-
rockets and roman candles were set off to give a little color to the occasion.

HOME-COMING TEA NOVEMBER 2 5 th.

On Friday, November 2 5th, the alumnae cele-
brated Miss Anna Young's birthday with Annual
Home-Coming Day. The House and Tea Room
Committee were hostesses from four to six in the
afternoon at tea, and a number of Atlanta and
Decatur alumnae, and out-of-town girls who were
here for Thanksgiving week-end, called during
the afternoon. In the receiving line were Miss
Anna's mother and sisters Mrs. Samuel Young,
Mrs. J. J. Eagan, and Mrs. Paul Brown Mrs. J.
Sam Guy, president of the general Alumnae As-
sociation, and Miss Margaret Phythian, chairman
of the House and Tea Room Committee. Miss
McKinney and Miss Lewis poured tea in the
dining-room. This home-coming day has been
selected as the annual occasion for the dona-
tion of gifts to the Alumnae House. Beside sev-
eral very generous checks, the House received
this year some lovely linens from Quenelle Har-
rold, Dr. Sweet, Miss McKinney, Miss Lillian
Smith, and Mrs. Fraser Durrett, and a pair of
blankets from Evelyn Kennedy and Mary Ella
Hammond.

MAY DAY PLANS

The history of the dance in all its delightful
phases has been chosen to be presented at Agnes
Scott's annual May Day fete. Opportunities for
color, dance, and pantomime in beautiful com-
binations are given in the representative dances
from practically every country. The scenario
was written by Carolyn Essig, '28, of Atlanta,
whose scenario was chosen in the contest last
year also. The physical education department
has already begun work on the dances. The May
Queen and her court have not yet been chosen.
These will be announced in the April Quarterly.

A unique feature of the commencement week-
end this year will be a Hoasc reunion the first
ever planned.

Since 1916, when the order was founded, one
hundred and sixty-three Seniors have been ad-
mitted to membership. These girls, leaders as
students, have gone out from the college to be
leaders in their home communities. They are
widely scattered, and engaged in a number of
professions, but they are all asked to heed this
call sent out from the college by the student
members of Hoasc to return to the campus this
year for a joint meeting.

Nell Hillhouse, secretary of Hoasc, will be
glad to answer any communications from former
Hoasc members about the reunion. Address her
care the college.

Henrietta (Lambdin) Turner writes from her
new home in Montgomery: "I am certainly hav-
ing a time this year. I have not even had a
chance to look up any of the Agnes Scotters
here, as the scarlet fever left my little daughter
with a leaking heart. I have to watch her like a
hawk and stay with her all the time to keep
har from over-exercising. She has always been
so well and active that it is quite an under-
taking. I have seen Emma Jones and Claude
Martin." Henrietta's other child is Hugh J., Jr.

little boys during the school year. The school
has three departments : a normal school for girls,
high school for boys, and Junior Agricultural Col-
lege."

Charis (Hood) Barwick writes from Des
Plaines, 111. : "The First Congregational Church,
of which my husband is pastor, has just gone
over the top by $5,000 in its drive for funds. The
whole plant of new church and parish house which
we shall begin on right away will cost $200,000
or more. The drive was a fine thing for the
church and the city. It gave the men something-
big to do and the women served ten dinners
to the canvassers. Mr. Barwick has taken in
ninety-three new members this year on confes-
sion of faith. I often wish I did not have a thing
to do but church work, for I like it, and it is
much needed here. New subdivisions are opening
up all around the city and people are building
and settling. Over ninety-five per cent of our
citizens own their homes, so it is a stable popu-
lation to build on. I spent an afternoon with
Martha (Brenner) Shyrock recently. She had been
to A. S. C. not long before, so we had a great visit.
Best wishes for my alma mater's finest year !"

rate, we know of one home where the study
hour is never dull.

Frances Charlotte (Markley) Roberts writes
from Shanghai : "China is a bit of an uncertain
spot, but it is the place I want to be just at
present. St. John's University is closed just now,
but there are quantities of things that are in-
teresting. I am studying Chinese history quite
seriously this winter in two courses at the School
of Chinese Studies, and I am perfectly fascinated
with it. I should like to do more Chinese study-
ing than I do, but I have several things, among
them several classes at the tutoring school, which
is bridging over the St. John's gap. Teaching
western history to orientals is doubly interesting.
T have seen the Prestons at Chiri San and heard
from Mrs. Preston all about Agnes Scott com-
mencement. I visited Charlotte (Bell) Linton for
two weeks. Before we went to Chiri San, we
went into Manchuria and had a walking trip
through the Diamond Mountains. News from
your section of the world is rather faint, but I
suppose it is a case of blessed is the country
which has no annals everything must be going
well. Two nights ago I went to a meeting of
the University Men's and Women's Club in
Shanghai, and as we rode along in the car, a
man who was with Donald said to me, 'You didn't
happen to be at Agnes Scott when Jake Armistead
was there, did you ?' They had been roommates
at college, and had kept in touch with one
another until Dr. Arm's death. It is strange the
contacts which one discovers."

Catherine (Nash) Goff writes from Washing-
ton, D. C. : "After two weeks of sightseeing I
became tired of doing nothing, so I have taken a
position at the Public Library here, and like it
ever so much. I am secretary to the assistant
librarian office work so I do not have to come
in contact with the multitude of blacks which in-
fest the library. Washington is truly a beauti-
ful city, and too much cannot be said in describing
it. I have met some delightful people and am look-
ing forward with much pleasure to the arrival of
Jessie (Watts) Rustin, ex '23, and her husband,
who has been transferred to a church here. We
hope to see a lot of each other to make up for
the years she has been away from Decatur.
My husband and I are planning to go to New

man, ex '27, in the subway. Grace Augusta

the apartment with Margery and Janice, while I
was, and one afternoon Hula McNeel, '27 ; Willie
White Smith, '27 ; Vera Hickman, '25, and Dorothy
Chamberlain, '27, came in to tea. Fran (Myers)
Dickley had Mary Greene, Janice, Margery, Grace

own everything in it 'except the furniture !' Mary
George (Kincannon) Howorth, ex '23, is living in
New York now her husband is a surgeon at the
New York Orthopaedic Hospital and of course I
saw them. Their son, Beckett, Jr., is five years

enjoying keeping house out there.

Charlotte Smith writes : "I took my M.A. at
Emory last year with the intention of teaching
in a college or junior college. Since a position
of that sort was not immediately forthcoming, I
have been doing other things this fall, none of
whicjh have any pecuniary remuneration connected
with them, however. Being a minister's daugh-
ter, it is the church that I have always with me,
so this fall I have been quite busily engaged in
church work. I have done everything from wait-
ing at tables at the church restaurant, to acting
as half a dwarf in a circus put on by the Young
Peoples Service League."

Margery Speake spent a far from lonesome
Christmas, in spite of the fact that she was in
New York City, and away from her family for

been named Eugenia Lyle Aiken. "We are going
to call her Gene. She is the dearest little blue-

1926

Next class reunion, 1930, which really isn't so
far off. It might be a good idea for some of our

Class secretary, Elen Fain, Druid Hills, Hender-
sonville, N. C.

Grace Boone writes from Newnan, Ga. : "I am
just staying at home this year and being a lady

soem form of amusement."

Mary Dudley Brown passed through Atlanta in

den."

Helena Hermance spent the Christmas holidays
at home in Toronto. She is to be one of the
bridesmaids in Virginia Burt's wedding in Febru-
ary.

Sterling Johnson explains why she never writes
to any of her old friends this year: "If you were
involved in the tangles of pre-war diplomacy,
medieval institutions, modern economic expansion
and such, perhaps you wouldn't have time to
come up for air either. I truly have been work-
ing, which any close friend will testify is con-
trary to my nature, but I have been having a
great time too. Most of the New York things
give their first tryouts here, so we have chances
to see such as Otis Skinner, Mrs. Fiske, Helen
Hayes, Ethel Barrymore, Glenn Hunter, and even
Atlanta's sweetheart, Louise Hunter. The theatre,
plus the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra every
week and a bit of sightseeing occasionally keep
one busy. Daisy Frances Smith and I have four
classes together." Sterling spent Christmas in
Decatur with her brother.

Evelyn Kennedy and Mary Ella Hammond spent

ton Blvd., Chicago, 111. She writes : "I ran into
Miss Jean Davis on the campus, the other day.
She was rushing to the stacks, as usual. So far,
I haven't seen Martha Stansfield. It's a huge
place out at the university, and you are totally
out of things if you aren't as far along as a Ph.D.,
but I am crazy about it. I am working for my
M.A. in bacteriology. I heard about Agnes Scott
beating the English debating team ; will there be
any more worlds left for her to conquer in a
few more years? We are promised a white
Christmas here, and I do hope it isn't a trick to
hearten poor Southerners like me, so we'll spend
our money and then not get anything for it !"

Marcia Green, Roberta Winter, and Mae Ers-

the study of medicine at Johns Hopkins next

Willie White Smith writes from Johnson Hall,
Columbia University : "Graduate work in zoology
isn't at all gruesome. The lab is quite a friendly
meeting place as well as an institution for labor.
And the celebrities walk about as calmly as mere
mortals ; I never know when I should become
excited because of their presence. Days are too
full for reminiscing, and I scarcely see the other
Agnes Scott people here except in passing, but
the thoughts that creep in of you all down there
are among my happiest." When Miss McDougall

she and Willie White celebrated together.

Alumnae House this fall, but I am hoping to come
with the spring. Today I took Charles to begin
his music lessons. He is so eager to take and
really has talent, I think. I am afraid that
some of my ancestors who thought no man fooled
with music would be horrified. The college glee
club and something to amuse him when he is*
growing up is the extent of my musical ambitions
for Charles. At present. Tucker's ambition is 'to
be a carpenter, and know all about automobiles.'
I hope he changes."

A letter from Chunju, Korea, excuses Charlotte
(Bell) Linton, '21, from neglecting her cor-
respondence. She says : "When you see the
names of my four little sons on the accompany-
ing sheet you won't ask for further explanations
of why I don't write oftener ! I was glad to get
a little Agnes Scott news from Mrs. Preston, and
1 am anxious to see Miriam, too. We expect to
spend next winter in Georgia, so I hope to
drop in at A. S. C. once in a while." Charlotte's
fourth son, Thomas Dwight, was born December
4th, 1927.

Catherine Shields, '23, is teaching again in
Albany, Ga. Her address is 425 Pine Street.

Geraldine Goodroe's present address is 16 Eagle
St., Schenectady, N. Y.

Gertrude Samuels, ex '23, is librarian at the
University of North Carolina.

News has just been reecived of the death on
January 16th, of Catherine (Graeber) Crowe's
father.

Agnes Scott alumnae who knew Miss Coma
Cole while she was a member of the History
faculty of the college will be interested to hear
of the birth of her daughter in Memphis, Tenn.,
on January 16th. Miss Cole is now Mrs. Walter
Willard.

Announcement has just been received of the
marriage on December 27th of May Smith, '17, to
Mr. Jimmie Parsons at "The Wee Hut," the
country home of Miss Allie Mann, near Norcross,
Ga. Mr. Parsons, a native of Maryland, is work-
ing on his Ph.D. degree at the University of Chi-
cago, where May is finishing her work for the de-
gree of Doctor of Medicine.

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 3

FOUNDER'S DAY CELEBRATION

Through the courtesy of the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation Agnes Scott
was given time on the air on the night of February 22 to celebrate Founder's Day by
reaching all of the college alumnae.

Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Johnson, directors of music at the college, arranged a program
of songs by the glee club, and Dr. McCain and Miss Hopkins made short talks.

Out at the college there were formal dinners in the two dining-rooms with George
and Martha Washington leading the seniors in colonial costume. Bee Keith, of Green-
ville, S. C., and Mary Riviere, of Columbus, Ga., took the role of George, and Mary Bell
McConkey, of St. Louis, Mo., and Miriam Anderson, of Winston-Salem, N. C, were the
two Marthas. After dinner there was a dance in the gym, and the seniors danced the
minuet.

Away from the college, all those other daughters of Agnes Scott who once danced
in the gym on the night of February 22, gathered around their radios and heard the
familiar voices from the campus, and thought with love of their college and the happy
days they spent there.

So many messages were received from alumnae that it is impossible to publish
them all, but since the weather was so stormy and the static so much in evidence that
a number of listeners could not get WSB, we have had requests that we do publish
a few of the messages, so that disappointed alumnae could hear what luck others had in
getting the program. News of the local clubs on that night will be found in another
part of the Quarterly.

Sarah (Boals) Spinks, of Winston-Salem, N. C, writes to Miss Hopkins: "I can't
express the thrill that came to me that night at hearing your familiar voice over the
radio. It seemed to blot out the more than twenty years since I used to hear it daily
and to take me back bodily to those four delightful years under your care. Grouped
that night with very modern graduates Elizabeth (Norfleet) Miller, Lillian (Mc-
Alpine) Butner, Helen Hall, Martha Jackson, etc., I felt very ancient in the history of
Agnes Scott, but I doubt if any of your present-day girls have more happy memories or
abiding enthusiasm for our alma mater than I. And perhaps you will be interested to
know that the things that stand out in my mind today are not the books or the
courses that I dug so hard for then, but the personalities of you dear people with whom
I was thrown so constantly. You and Miss McKinney, the Arbuckles, the Gainses,
Miss Massie, Dr. Armistead, Miss Anna Young not all are left, but all have left in-
fluences that are ever fruitful and for which I shall ever be grateful. I was glad to know
from the telegrams read over the radio that evening that many of my Vintage' are
still able to make their voices heard. Thank you again for your delightful greetings to
us 'old girls' on the 22nd."

May (Walden) Morton, of Athens, Ga., tells of the alumnae gathering there. "I
called the Athens alumnae together on February 22nd for a five-o'clock tea party.
The day was perfectly awful, so there were only eight of us present. Catherine Evelyn
(Pratt) Secrest, Ruth (Cofer) Welchel, Jule (Armstrong) Cohen, and Marguerite
(Thomas) White wanted to be with us. We spent a delightful time together talking of
our days at Agnes Scott. Martha Comer and LaGrange (Cothran) Trussell were at
school together; the rest of us ranged from the cradle to the grave in age. But we
all felt that we had a strong tie that bound us together in our love for dear old
Agnes Scott. Those of us who were at school under Dr. Gaines talked of him and
what he did for Agnes Scott. Those who were under Dr. McCain had lovely things
to say of him. Dear Miss Hopkins and Miss McKinney, whom we all knew, were
spoken of in great affection, and other members of the faculty came in for their share
of compliments. Mary Pittard read the messages from the faculty which were greatly

4 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

enjoyed." Those present were Rubye (Carroll) Walker, Martha Comer, Grace (Trout-
man) Wilson, Jennie B. (McPhaul) Myers, Annie Laurie Hill, Mary Pittard, LaGrange
(Cothran) Trussell, and May (Walden) Morton.

Maurine Bledsoe writes from Asheville, N. C: "It was a terrible night and we could
rot get WSB any too well, but we thoroughly enjoyed the little part of the radio pro-
gram that did come through. We should have known Miss Hopkins' voice anywhere,
and Dr. McCain almost made me feel I was in chapel again. We really had a gorgeous
time swapping tales about the 'good old days.' Beth Taylor, ex '16; Elizabeth (Moss)
Harris, '20; Edyth (Clarke) Alexander, '21; Sarah (Shields) Pfeiffer, '27, and I were
the ones who listened in here. We are hoping to have better weather and a larger crowd
next year. All of us send love and best wishes to everyone at Agnes Scott now and all
the alumnae. The faculty letters were greatly enjoyed, and our love is for them, too."

The Orlando, Fla., alumnae met with Georgiana (White) Miller. She says:
"There were five of us here together tonight trying to hear the radio program, but the
static was terrible. The only thing we could really hear clearly was Miss Hopkins'
speech, but we felt that the evening was a success when her voice came over so well.
Lucile (Smith) Bishop, Mae (Curry) Rockwell, Elizabeth Henderson, Grace Bargeron
and I were the ones who met here. We all talked at once and had quite a typical
Agnes Scott gathering. This is the first time that the Orlando alumnae have gotten
together, and we were so pleased with each other that we decided to have lunch to-
gether some time in the near future."

Mobile, Ala., celebrated the night of February 22 with a deluge that prevented
the radio program from coming in. Grace Atigusta Ogden writes: "It was a great
disappointment, but we read all the things you had sent from the alumnae office, and
were simply thrilled over the messages from each member of the faculty. Fanny Swann,
'26, added a lot to the enthusiasm of the occasion. We are so glad to have her in
Mobile now."

And this from Janie McGaughey: "Just a note to report that our St. Louis, Mo.,
bunch gathered at Mrs. W. V. Bailey's, 3 1 Kingsbury Place, on February 22, and Mr.
Bailey worked manfully to get Atlanta. Another station continued to cut out WSB,
and although we were distressed not to get all of the program, still we enjoyed each
other, and I hope that it may mean the beginning of more A. S. C. fellowship here.
We appreciate all you did to help with our alma mater day. I am sure that it meant
a lot to hundreds of Agnes Scott daughters."

In Shreveport, La., five old Agnes Scott girls met with Margaret (Powell) Gay. Nanna-
beth (Preas) Smathers, Mary dean (Preas) Moore, and Esther (Jordan) Roper listened in
at Johnson City, Tenn. Billie (Cowan) Dean got the College Park, Ga., girls together.
In Nashville, Tenn., the alumnae found it impossible to get together as a group on
the 22nd, but each one listened in. Memphis, Tenn., finds it almost impossible to get
Atlanta's wave length, so their plans for an alumnae dinner that night did not
materialize.

On the night of the broadcast telegrams were received from Ruth Perrine, Dallas,
Tex.; group of alumnae meeting with Pearl Smith, Rome, Ga.; Katherine (Dean)
Stewart, Ethel (McConnell) Cannon; Erma (Flarwell) Cook and Lurline (Torbert)
Shealy, in Opelika, Ala.; Martha Lee (Taliaferro) Donovan, Evergreen, Ala.; Edith
(Lockhart) Stanton, Marguerite (Brandy) Griffin, and Ada (Williams) Robertson in
Waycross, Ga.; Elizabeth Henderson, Orlando, Fla.; Grace Overstreet, Baxley, Ga.;
Margaret Mixon, Dunnellon, Fla.; the Arbuckles, Davidson, N. C; Birmingham Alumnae
club; Mary (Brown) Florence, Stamps, Ark.; Ruth (Anderson) O'Neal, Winston-
Salem, N. C; Mary Ann McKinney, Nacogdoches, Tex.; Emily (Divver) Moorer,
Estelle (Felker) Chipley, and Annie Aunspaugh, Greenwood, S. O; Frances Lincoln,
Mrs. Sprinkle, and Nell Buchanan in Marion, Va.; Katherine (Mock) Hodgin, Thomas-
ville, N. C. ; Lucile (Lane) Bailey and alumnae in St. Louis, Mo.; May (Shepard) Schlich,

Loxley, Ala.; Charlotte, N. C, alumnae who listened at Mary Speir's home; Ellen Fain,
Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Grey, Dr. and Mrs. J. S. Brown in Hendersonville, N. C; Dr. and
Mrs. W. D. Jennings, Augusta, Ga.; Mrs. Bessie Scott Harmon and Mrs. Kendrick, At-
lanta, Ga.; alumnae meeting in Griffin, Ga., at the home of Mary Ella Hammond;
Elsa Jacobsen, Indianapolis, Ind.; Josephine Bridgmen, Merry Hill, N. C.

Lib Clark wired from Mississippi: "Entire West Point Alumnae Association gathered
at my home in one chair to enjoy concert. A heart full of love to Agnes Scott."

The Richmond, Va., alumnae telegram read: "Cannot tell a lie on Washington's
birthday. Could not hear all of radio program. We thrilled at Alma Mater and shud-
dered at static."

Laura Mel (Towers) Yager wired from Rockledge, Fla.: "These radio reunions
lack only television to be complete. Keep them up!"

Edith (Lott) Dimmock entertained the Waycross, Ga., alumnae in her home. The
telegram they sent was signed by Winifred Quarterman, Hattie (Grace) Bellinger, Mary
Letford, Clyde (Lott) Hereford, Edith (Lott) Dimmock, Jessie Kate Brantley, Maggie
(Trawick) Aiken, Ethel Littlefield, and Mary Ellen (Harvey) Newton.

An interesting telegram read: "One of Agnes Scott's first graduating classes sends
love to her only classmate Mary (Barnett) Martin in Clinton, S. C. and greeting to
all connected with the Institute in the days of '93." It is signed by Mary (Mack)
Ardrey, Fort Mill, S. C.

Others who were listening in were Helen (Bates) Law, in Schenectady, N. Y.; Helen
Lane Comfort, Clinton, S. C; Julia (Judge) Harkness, Eutaw, Ala.; Mary Stuart
(Sims) McCamy, Mary (McLellan) Manly, Gertrude (Manly) McFarland, and Martha
Lin Manly in Dalton, Ga.; Helen Wright, in Columbia, S. C; Louise (Inglis) Love in
Quincy, Fla.; Sarah Katherine Frost, Margaret Gunn and Cornelia Cooper, Marion,
Ala.; Mary Harris in DeFuniak Springs, Fla.; Ruth Virden, Wilmington, N. C; Margaret
Tufts, Banner Elk, N. C; Charis (Hood) Barwick, Des Plains, 111.

Other groups who met on Founder's Day were: Augusta, Ga., with Jeannette (Vic-
tor) Levy; Valdosta, Ga., with Dinah (Roberts) Paramore; Chattanooga, Tenn., with
Genie (Johnston) Griffin; Anniston, Ala., with Mildred Goodrich; Vicksburg, Miss.,
with Myrtis (Burnett) Bellan; Fayetteville, N. C, with Lila (Williams) Rose; Durham,
N. C, with Ruth (Slack) Smith; Anderson, S. C, with Ann Gambrill; Knoxville,
Tenn., with Frances Stuart; Bristol, Tenn., with Mary Hedrick; Chapel Hill, N. C, with
Elizabeth (Enloe) McCarthy.

So that in spite of the unforeseen unfavorable weather that night, the radio program
was a decided success. This was our third annual program. When February 22
comes around again, we shall hope for less static and even more alumnae listening in.

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

Miss Ella Young, who for seven years was principal of the Agnes Scott Academy,
paid the campus a visit this spring for the first time in a number of years. There were
many parties given in her honor, one of the most enjoyable being the tea in the Alumnae
House on March 9th at which Miss Hopkins and Miss Torrance were hostesses. Many
of Miss Young's former Academy girls, now living in Atlanta, were invited. Just be-
fore the guests began to arrive, the above picture was taken on the steps of the
Alumnae House. After seeing the proofs, Miss Young said she would name the
picture "Ye oldest inhabitants," but finally she decided on "Who are we?" as a better
title. For the benefit of those of the alumnae who may not be able to answer this
question, "we" are, reading from left to right, beginning with the first row: Miss
Torrance, Dr. Sweet, Miss Young, Miss Hopkins, Miss Smith, Mrs. Sydenstricker, Miss
Lewis, Miss McKinney.

LETTERS FROM FAR-AWAY ALUMNAE

NO. 2 A NOMAD'S MATE

Some years after leaving dear old Agnes Scott I ceased to be Onabell Wellborn and
became Mrs. Homer Brett. As an American consul's wife I have been privileged (or
doomed) to make homes in many lands. First toMaskat, ancient city of Arabia, dubbed
by Lord Curzon the most picturesque town in the world, which is a place of many
minarets, pitiful lepers, camels, donkeys and fish. The people were Arabs, Persians,
Beloochis, Hindoos, Goanese, Khojas with 57 varieties of dress, religion and language.
All water was brought in goatskin bags and fourteen servants were the minimum for
two persons. Because of the terrible heat it was possible to sleep only on the roof.
Rain falls only in January. British residents very friendly and tennis, swimming, teas
and dinners made life something more than agreeable. Two years pass and a telegram
comes.

The Hesperides, or, in other words, Tenerife, Canary Islands. People all white and
more Spanish than those of continental Spain. Little rain and much sunshine. Awful
servants but a good one found at last. Beautiful banana farms and lovely hills
cultivated to their tiptops. A trip to Orotava, wonder vale of beauty. Delightful
climate and many friends British, German and Spanish make social life delightful.
The war begins. Ships vanish from the harbor, commerce is dead and the sad town
suffers from the quarrels of others. Another telegram sends us across the Atlantic.

Three of us, one aged 8 months, cross the ocean on a French freighter and shiver at
the thought of submarines. We find La Guaira as unattractive as a town can be but
life there not so bad. Caracas, the charming capital, is 22 miles away by rail or 9 miles
over the mountain and sometimes we go on foot. All cooking is done on charcoal pots
and everything is primitive but there are plenty of good things to eat. We have tennis
to play, mountains in the back yard to climb, dinners to give and accept and friends
from Caracas dropping in to lunch. A baby girl joins our family; we have trips
home and back; America enters the war and H. B. has to work day and night. War
over and, after a few delightful months in Caracas another telegrm says, "Move."

Three posts: Tacna, Arica and Iquique, all in northern Chile where rain occurs once
in thirty years and earthquakes almost every night. In Iquique we have perfect servants
and the house runs itself beautifully. The social world is dominated by British and is
somewhat frenzied the round of picnics, teas, tennis and dances being interminable. In
order to get a little breathing time and to have some rest we eschew bridge utterly.
Children are in an American missionary school and life is very pleasant but another
telegram says, "Roll on."

We had two unforgettable weeks in Rio de Janeiro en route, including the breath-
takng view of the Bay from Corcovado. Then on to Bahia, oldest and most romantic
city of Brazil, where the Rockefeller men were fighting yellow fever. Swarming negroes
talking Portuguese abound and all servants are black again. We have a home on the
beach, swimming every day, golf for the first time, more Americans than we have ever
encountered abroad and a fine tennis club. The state balls at the Governor's Palace are
marvelous. Life is very delightful but there is no school for the children and they
are getting big. A wonderful vacation in Washington, Meridian and Mobile and then
come orders to go to Nottingham. After many quiet years in turbulent republics we
reach staid old England just in time for the wild excitement of the General Strike but
this is soon over. The children are both in good schools and doing well. We are living
in a fine, big, modern city, have a multitude of friends and are quite content, so at any
moment another moving telegram may come. If it does we will try to remember that
there are nice people in every country and that rolling stones should not complain.

NO. 3 BELGIUM

(Elizabeth Burke, '16, is now Mrs. W. C. Burdett. Her husband is in the United
States Consular service, and at present they are located in Brussels.)

"Brussels is our third post in the consular service and we feel that if we cannot
be in the United States this is the next best place. First we were at Ensenada, a sleepy
little seaport in Lower California. From there we moved to Seville, one of the most
interesting old cities of Spain, but where one was forced to conform to a certain extent
to the old Moorish customs. Now here in Brussels one can live with modern comforts
and conveniences, and at the same time find much that is old and historically interesting.

"We like the Belgian people. They are a stolid, peace-loving race and seem very loyal
to their king, while really giving him no power. It is surprising to me who have just
been reviewing my Belgian history to see how the Belgian people have been able to
make so much progress when they have been the center of so many European wars.

"Belgium is a Catholic country, that is, the royal family is Catholic, but there is
religious freedom and besides many French Protestant churches, there are two English
churches, two American Methodist missions, and a Scotch Presbyterian church here in
Brussels.

"One thing we like best about Brussels is that it is so good for the children. The
climate is cold and rainy most of the time but it seems to agree with the little Burdetts.
Then our home is quite near the Bois de la Cambre, a big beautiful park where children
are allowed really to play and have a good time, not stay in the paths, as in most
European parks. And most important of all, we have found a perfectly splendid school,
the Decroly school, where they seem to combine work and play in such a way that the
children learn without realizing it. We have one boy in the third grade, one in the
first, and the baby, now four, is in the kindergarten.

"Brussels is a very beautiful city with its wide boulevards lined with trees, its parks
with gorgeous flowers, its interesting old buildings and monuments. There are
museums of every kind, ancient art, modern art, tapestry, lace, furniture, natural history.
One has the opportunity of hearing good music at any time at the Conservatory and
the opera here is considered one of the best in Europe. For the last two years we have
had an American, John Charles Thomas, as one of the leading baritones. The theatres
are very good and we go often as we find it one of the best ways to learn French.
They often give plays of Moliere and Corneille and whenever I see one I think of the
time when I was reading those plays at Agnes Scott, never dreaming that I should be
seeing them in Brussels.

"Aside from being a fascinating city in itself, Brussels is a central point from which
to make short trips. Waterloo is only a quarter of an hour away and while not much
remains now of the original battlefield, they have a large panorama showing the battle.
Malines, where one loves to go in the summer evenings to hear the bell concerts of the
cathedral is only a half hour away.

"Last spring we drove to Holland for the week-end, just when all the fields of
Darwin tulips were in full bloom and it was a lovely sight. Another week-end we
went to Germany along the Rhine, passing the Lorelei, the mouse tower, besides many
other interesting old castles.

"At Mardi Gras we went down to the little town of Buiche to see the carnival,
where they still use the same costumes they wore when Marie of Hungary was regent
here under the Spanish rule. It seems her favorite jester was a hunchback so they all
began to dress as hunchbacks with many bells around their waists, wooden shoes on
their feet, and tall plumes more than a yard high on their heads.

"But these trips cannot be taken every day. Most of the time my husband is busy
in his office and I with my family just as we would be in the States. And the large
American colony here in Brussels with its social activities makes us feel after coming
from Spain, where they were so few, that we must really be back home."

SOUTHERN WOMEN AND THE SOUTH'S RACE PROBLEM

By ROBERT B. ELEAZER

In the South's entire history there has probably been no sociological development
more unique and important than the recent movement for interracial co-operation, which
took organic form in Atlanta in 1919, through the creation of the Commission on Inter-
racial Co-operation.

The purpose of this organization and its affiliated state and local committees is to
bring about better understanding, justice and fair dealing between the white and
colored races. The Commission believes that the white race, as the more fortunate group
and the one responsible for the Negro's presence in America, is under obligation to be
both just and generous toward the latter. It believes further that the welfare and
even the racial integrity of the two groups can be effectively preserved in no other way.

The results of this policy, as worked out by hundreds of inter-racial committees, have
attracted nationwide and even international attention. Though the Commission has
made no effort to organize outside the South, similar committees have recently been set
up in many Northern states and cities where there are considerable Negro populations.
The plan is even being put into effect in South Africa.

In this movement Southern women have been a most important factor. At the
call of the Commission on Interracial Co-operation, a hundred women, leaders in their
respective circles, met in Memphis in October, 1920, for the purpose of considering the
situation. Four representative Negro women were invited to interpret to the meeting
the viewpoint and the needs of colored women and children.

A profound impression was made upon the group and out of the meeting came a
remarkable statement, expressing "a deep sense of responsibility to the womanhood and
childhood of the Negro race and a great desire for a Christian settlement of the prob-
lems that overshadow the homes of both races." The statement recommended the
conservation of the life and health of Negro children through day nurseries, kinder-
gartens, clinics and playgrounds; the study of Negro housing and sanitary conditions
with a view to their improvement; equitable provision of educational opportunities;
improved conditions of travel; justice in the courts; and, with especial emphasis, the
suppression of lynching. A Continuation Committee of seven was created, representing
respectively the Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Episcopal and Disciples Churches, the
Y. W. C. A., and the Women's Clubs.

As a result of this meeting the Interracial Commission created a department of
woman's work, and began organizing the women of the South. Strong state commit-
tees of women, all in positions of influence and leadership, have been set up in eleven
states, in most of which they are doing good work. Each of these committees has
formulated and given to the public a vigorous pronouncement in behalf of interracial
justice and good will, and in unmeasured condemnation of lynching. Coming from
hundreds of the most representative and respected women, these statements have done
much to create a new public conscience relative to this question. There are also a
great many local interracial committees of women, who seek to find out the conditions
and needs of Negro women and children, through studies of their homes, schools,
sanitation and health, and then to lay out plans for such improvement as may be needed.

The work of the Atlanta Woman's Committee may be cited as typical. This group,
made up of thirty women of the highest standing, set out on a study of the Negro
homes of Atlanta. The conditions which they found in certain sections were heart-
breaking tumbledown tenements, congested houses, unpaved, dark streets, and lack of
the commonest facilities for sanitation and decent living. In one crowded section they

10 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

found three small children, one of them a baby, locked out of the house by the mother,
who turned them into the street every morning when she went away to work, fearing
to leave them inside lest they be burned to death. The need of a day nursery was
evident and imperative. The committee purchased a building and established one. The
sanitary laws of the city were examined, to see what could be done toward the permanent
improvement of housing conditions.

All the colored schools were visited and in many cases deplorable overcrowding was
found. These conditions were immediately taken up with the school authorities. Re-
peated visits were made to Washington Park, a Negro recreational center, and the needs
of additional equipment and proper sanitation and oversight were brought to the atten-
tion of the Park Commission. The appointment of Negro probation officers and the
improvement of the county detention home for delinquent Negro boys were other
worthy objectives. Similar work is being done in a great many communities, and is
deeply needed in practically all.

It is increasingly evident that in the interracial situation existing here, the people of
the South have not so much a problem as a grave human responsibility a challenge to
their sense of justice, their magnanimity, and their Christian conscience. The problem
will diminish and disappear in proportion as the obligation is seriously assumed and
faithfully discharged. The thousands of public-spirited, high-minded women who are
assuming that responsibility and assisting in working out the problem in the direction
of mutual confidence and helpful co-operation, are doing a public service for which
generations to come will call them blessed.

FAMOUS ALUMNAE FAMILIES

COOPER GILCHRIST MACINTYRE NEWTON

When groups of three or four sisters graduate from the same college, and each is an
outstanding student, and later each becomes an outstanding alumna and citizen, it is
something to read about! We have a number of such sister-groups among the Agnes
Scott alumnae, and from now on the Quarterly plans to print short write-ups of one or
two of these families in each issue.

For more reasons than that it begins with a letter near the first of the alphabet,
the Cooper family, of Atlanta, is an excellent one with which to begin the series. In the
space of eight years, four sisters received diplomas from Agnes Scott Cornelia in 1912,
Laura in 1916, Belle in 1918, and Alice in 1920. Cooper history since graduation makes
interesting reading.

Cornelia began teaching soon after graduation, in the Atlanta public schools. She
went abroad one summer, taught French in the John Marshall High School, at Rich-
mond, then got an M. A. at Columbia in English in 1924. Then she taught English
at Galloway College, Searcy, Ark., and for the last three years has been teaching English
and Journalism at Judson College, Marion, Ala.; also handling their college publicity and
supervising the college publications; and helping inspire the girls' literary club. She
spends her summers in Atanta.

Belle is now teaching Biology in Fulton County High School, Atlanta. After
graduating she taught two years in the science department of Kissimmee, Fla., High
School, coming straight from there to Fulton. One year she got leave of absence to
get an M. A. in zoology at Columbia, in 1926. Belle has gotten over her former
abhorrence of bugs and worms, and enjoys revealing their "innards" to the girls
and boys. When they want to please her, instead of bringing her flowers, they present
snakes and grasshoppers, horned toads, and such like, for her collection.

Laura taught history first at Washington Seminary, then worked one year in Civil
Service at Camp Jesup; spent a year at Columbia and got her M. A. in hsitory in 1921.
She taught history at North Carolina College for Women, then a year at Agnes Scott.
She married in 1924, Claude Christopher, a lawyer. They live at Barnesville, Ga., and
Laura has her hands full caring for her two frisky little sons: Kent, twenty-eight months
old, and John Frederick, ten months. She enjoys entering into small town life, and
presiding over her little white cottage.

Alice says: "I have been following a zig-zag path toward my present occupation
writing advertisements. Three days after graduation I started doing clerical work in
an office, then took up stenographic work. For a while I became so interested in the
bond business, working for Harris, Forbes & Company, that I nearly forgot my original
ambition of wanting to write for a living. I spent about a year in New York, dividing
attention between learning a fascinating new business and the delights of discovering
the big city. Part of that time I was in an apartment with some other Agnes Scott
girls. It was a continual inspiration the way Caroline Agee used to spout Browning
during those months pasting his poetry all over the mirrors! Now I am working for
an Atlanta advertising agency, James A. Greene & Company writing copy and planning
layouts having to rave over everything, from stoves to tractors!"

Phillipa, 1923; Katie Frank, 1924, and Edith Gilchrist, 1926, of Courtland, Ala.,
form one of the newest alumnae families. Phillipa, who is studying at the University
of Wisconsin, writes: "The last five years have been full of travel and study for
the Gilchrists, with Agnes Scott as the pivot around which we seem to have revolved.
During the summer of 1924, Joy (Trump) Hamlet, '22, and I took a trip through
the east and up into Canada, returning to Savannah by boat from Baltimore. That fall
iound me back at Agnes Scott as an assistant in the physics department; Edith was still
in college then. Katie Frank was at home that winter, but she came to Agnes Scott
for commencement, and the campus was quite overrun with Gilchrists. Ladie Sue
Wallace joined Katie Frank and Edith that summer for a tour of the west, stopping six
weeks at Berkeley for a summer course at the University of California. I met them there
and we all came home together through Yellowstone Park. The winter of '26 found
the three Gilchrists in the same formation as the previous winter. Edith graduated that
May, so again there was a gathering of the clan at Agnes Scott. That summer I stayed
at home while Katie Frank and Edith traveled through the east. The next fall I was
again at Agnes Scott in the physics department, with Katie Frank as a frequent visitor,
although she was presumably spending the winter at home. Edith taught in the South
Highland School in Birmingham, Ala., as supervisor of Recreation. She lived with
Eleanor Gresham. During the summer the two of them and Katie Frank visited in
North Carolina, and I was chief boss on the farm. Edith has her same position in
Birmingham this winter, Katie Frank is at home (when she isn't visiting her sisters and
her cousins and her aunts!), and I am here in Madison with Miss Howson, working
very hard in the graduate school, longing for spring and warm weather, and the time
when I can come to Agnes Scott again."

Upon the shoulders of Lois (Maclntyre) Beall, 1920, falls the task of chronicling
the history of the four Maclntyre sisters Mec, 1909; Marie, 1912; Julie, ex '16, and
herself.

"Mec was married on January 4, 1911, to Homer A. McAfee, who is now vice-
president of the Independent Trunk and Bag Company. They have two daughters,
Marie Randolph, born December 13, 1911, who in two years will be ready for Agnes
Scott, and Mec Lawson, born July 20, 1916. They have a very attractive Dutch
colonial home on Montgomery Ferry Drive in Atlanta, although for the past year they
have been living in Berkeley, California, where Mr. McAfee's business called them. They
have just returned to Atlanta.

12 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

"Marie married June 4, 1913. Her husband is John I. Scott, a grandson of Mr.
George Washington Scott, founder of Agnes Scott College. He is in the insurance busi-
ness in Atlanta. They have four children Elizabeth, born April 11, 1916; Marie Louise,
born July 9, 1917; George Bucher, born June 6, 1920; and Rebekah, born January 20,
1927. Marie's married life has been spent on a lovely little farm near Scottdale, where
she enjoys the conveniences of the city with the advantages of the country. She was
president of the Alumnae Association in 1914. Most of her time now is taken up with
her little family, but she finds time for two study clubs.

"After leaving Agnes Scott, Julie studied at Columbia University. Then she taught
in the domestic science department at North Avenue Presbyterian school in Atlanta, and
did war work in Atlanta. While engaged in this she met Mr. John Edwin Gates, to
whom she was married. He is a lawyer, practicing in Syracuse, N. Y. They have two
children, Jack, Jr., four, and Constance, one."

Lois was married February 19, 1921, to Frank R. Beall, who is sales manager of
the Franklin Automobile Company of Atlanta. They have one son, Frank, Jr., born
November 6, 1924. Lois is interested in the Atlanta Agnes Scott club and the auxiliary
of the First Presbyterian Church. The Bealls have a little bungalow on Peachtree Way
where they have lived for the past four years.

Jan Newton, 1917, writes of her branch of the Newton family Charlotte, 1921,
and Virginia, 1919.

"As for the tribe of Newtons: I begin with the youngest of the three. Charlotte, as
you know, taught for several years in Lewisburg, W. Va., at Lewisburg Seminary, then
she decided to give up teaching and went to the University of Illinois, at Urbana, for a
year of work in the Library School. She found a Western University a most interesting
community and hopes to go back there for her second year's work sometime before very
many years, and will then receive her Master's degree in Library Science. For the past
two years she has been head of the cataloging department at the University of Florida
Library, at Gainesville, Fla. This is her third year there. Both summers that she has
been in Gainesville she has taught classes in library work at the University Summer
School. Gainesville being only about seventy-three miles from Jacksonville, Charlotte
and I manage to see each other quite often. Charlotte says the only trouble about
library work is that she never has a chance to read!

"Virginia is now teaching English at Montevallo, Ala. She has had rather varied
experience in her teaching. She was for a couple of years at the A. & M. College at
Douglas, Ga. Then she spent a winter in New York and received her M.A. from Colum-
bia in English. She then taught a year at Montevallo College, then spent one year at
the Presbyterian College, Milford, Texas, where she acted as Dean and did some teaching
in English and history. After the Texas experience she went back to Montevallo which
she seems to like very much indeed. She is a most enthusiastic teacher. Last summer
Virginia took a western trip and spent six weeks at the University of California Summer
School at Los Angeles.

"As for me: I went back to A. S. C. as a Fellow the first year after I graduated,
then taught for one year at Lewisburg Seminary, Lewisburg, W. Va. (French, of course) ,
then went back to A. S. C. as instructor in French for two years. The lure of the busi-
ness world made me decide to give up teaching, so I went to Simmons College, Boston,
Mass., for a year's work in the School of Secretarial Science and received a B.S. in this.
My first secretarial job was in Worcester, Mass., where I stayed for three years. You
know I really liked it or I shouldn't have kept on staying, but finally the cold
weather was too much for me and I decided to come South. Just at that time Charlotte

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 13

had just gone to the University of Florida Library. She heard of an opening for me and
through many wires we finally arranged everything and I came from Boston straight
down to Gainesville, Fla., where I stayed for a year as secretary to the university archi-
tect. A year ago last fall I decided to go to Savannah, Ga., as secretary to Mr. George
J. Baldwin. In the spring Mr. Baldwin died and since his death most of my work
has been in connection with his estate. The Savannah office was closed last June and
I came to Jacksonville as secretary to Mr. Baldwin's son, who is executor of the estate.
Mr. George H. Baldwin is executive vice-president of Bisbee-Baldwin Corporation, who
handle mortgage loans, insurance, rentals, etc., so aside from the bookkeeping of the
estate and Mr. Baldwin's personal work, there is lots of the company's work to keep
me busy.

"I might add that most of my 'tripping' has been up and down the Atlantic coast,
and two of the trips have been by boat from Savannah to New York. The West and
Europe and still in the future."

GREATER AGNES SCOTT BECOMING A REALITY

Erection of a $125,000 power plant will be the next step in the Greater Agnes Scott
College building program. Two other projects will follow the completion of the power
piant. One will be the administration building, to cost $300,000 and the other
the chapel, which will cost $125,000.

A survey for the power plant is now under way, and plans are being prepared. It
will be large and complete enough to take care of existing buildings and also the
new ones.

The administration building will include the offices of the college and additional
class rooms. It will be one of the most complete buildings of its type in the country.

The chapel will be a memorial to Dr. F. H. Gaines, founder of Agnes Scott, and
its president until 1923.

The gymnasium was the first unit to be erected under the new building program.
It is considered a model of its kind. With the completion of the other buildings, the
college will be equipped not only for its present expansion, but also for its future require-
ments. We do not want Agnes Scott to grow very much more in the number of stu-
dents, for we believe that in a small college the individual student has the best chance for
development. There are now 500 students in attendance, against 200 in 1913. The
increase has been 100 per cent in the past ten years. Students are now in attendance
from 27 states, and from Korea, Mexico and Venezuela.

NEWS FROM THE LOCAL CLUBS

A huge box of linen, tied with Agnes Scott purple and white, arrived in February,
with this card enclosed: "For the Anna Young Alumnae House with love and best wishes
from the Birmingham branch of the Alumnae Association." There were towels, bureau
covers, tea cloths, tea napkins, table covers all sorts of linen, so needed in this busy
Alumnae House, and so appreciated.

The Birmingham club has one meeting a month, and one alumnae luncheon a month.
They are well attended, and most enjoyable. They had a banquet on the night of Febru-
ary 22 to celebrate Founder's Day. "We didn't get the radio program, worse luck, but
enjoyed the faculty greetings that we received through the mail. We sang Agnes Scott
songs and had toasts and felt as if we were right back on the campus again." An open
meeting was held in March at the home of Annie (Lee) Barker's mother. Each member
invited a friend. Annabel Stith read two one-act plays.

Nan Lingle entertained the Richmond, Va., girls on the night of February 22. "You
should have seen us on the 22nd. We had such a good time! We met at Nan's and
went next door to Dr. Buchholz's home for the radio part of the program. He has a

14 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

splendid radio, but you know what sort of a night that was, and the static was against
us. But the Alma Mater came through, and we nearly hit the ceiling! After that
we adjourned to Nan's again. The best part of the whole thing was discovering a new
Agnes Scott girl or rather having one discover us, for that is what happened. She
is Saidee (King) Harrison. She saw a notice in the paper that the Agnes Scott alumnae
would meet that night, and she came with pictures of her children two adorable boys
who are starring in athletics in prep school, and a splendid girl who is away at school
winning all the honors. Then she showed us an Agnes Scott annual The Aurora of
1898! We screamed with delight and had a grand time over the basketball team
playing in skirts ten yards wide and touching the ground; the Cooking Club; the
Embroidery Club; and the Hemstitching Club coyly biting threads and threading needles
on the lawn in front of Main. After that hilarity, we read the faculty greetings and
enjoyed every word of it. It was just like having a little visit on the campus and talking
to the members of the faculty we had known. It was altogether a splendid celebration.
Those present were Nan Lingle, Charlotte McMurray, Ruth Hillhouse, Mary Cunning-
ham, Mary Shive, Eleanor Albright, Eloise (Knight) Jones, Saidee (King) Harrison,
Kate (Richardson) Wicker, Nannie Campbell, and Caroline Lingle, who will belong to
the class of 1933." "Crip" Slack and Flattie (Blackford) Williams entertained the
Richmond club at its March meeting.

The Jacksonville, Fla., alumnae club met at Alice Jones' home on February 22. Their
secretary, Charlotte Buckland, '27, sends in this report of the meeting: "There were ten
of us present. Dr. McCain's voice came in strong and clear, but Miss Hopkins' voice was
not quite so distinct, although when she read the telegrams we could hear her nicely.
We all enjoyed the program and it made me homesick for my alma mater and I feel
quite sure the others felt that way too. The only fault we had to find with the
program was that it wasn't one-tenth long enough: we could have listened all night!
After the radio program we had a short business meeting and then played bridge until
delicious refreshments were served. Those present were Gertrude (Briesnick) Ross, '15;
Alice Jones, '21; Charlotte Augusta (Hedges) Kellogg, ex '17; Anne (Waddell) Bethea,
'09; Sarah (McKowen) Blackshear, ex '10; Gertrude Henry, '25; Ellen Colyer, '26;
Janet Newton, '17; Eleanor Bennett, ex '28; and Charlotte Buckland, '27."

And from Agnes Scott Donaldson, '17, in Los Angeles, comes this delightful letter:
"Greetings from the California Alumnae! Due to the kindness of Stella (Austin) Stan^
nard, we had a delightful tea party and chat at her house on February 22. There were
nine present, eager to get in touch with our other college sisters who live in this part
of the country, and they asked me to be responsible for getting them together again. I
am only too glad to, for all our reminiscing was so much fun, and we find we really
have much of common interest in our college days. Ye good old school spirit waxed
strong, and we are grateful to the alumnae secretary for getting us started. Just after
I wrote you, my family in Colorado became very ill, and I had to dash off, leaving all
the work and arrangements for our February 22nd meeting to Mrs. Stannard, which
certainly was a successful thing to do! The family improved, and I returned in two
weeks to find everything planned delightfully. We hope to meet at my club house be-
fore very long. We feel that there is little we can do, but the loyalty and interest of
all the nine were inspiring to me perhaps we really can do something? At any rate,
we send hearty good wishes to our dear alma mater. The radio remained silent, to our
sorrow. We just couldn't get Atlanta, but the feeling that throughout the country
Agnes Scotters were gathering in their clubs at the same time we were together gave
us a happy feeling of belonging to something we all really prize."

Another letter from Los Angeles says: "Nine of us have spent a great afternoon
together, reminiscing and gossiping about Agnes Scott, friends whom we wish could
have been with us, talking of everything, food, songs, beloved faculty, all the many
good times we used to have at Agnes Scott. Only two of us had known each other
beforehand! We are planning to have another 'get together' soon because we all feel

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 15

that Agnes Scott has given us much, and that our common bond in our alma mater is
a real and precious enough one to deserve renewing. We can scarcely call our informal
plan to meet occasionally a club, and we doubt if we shall be much of an asset to the
college since we are so far away, but we want you at headquarters to know that we
should like to be useful to you, and we send you our very best wishes." This was
written at the gathering on February 22, and is signed by Dorothy (Walker) Burruss;
Lucy (Offutt) Ullrich; Agnes Scott Donaldson; Jane Walker; Ida Belle Feldman;
Marcia (Meldrim) Fisher; Florence (Mead) Cheney; and Stella (Austin) Stannard.

The Decatur and Atlanta alumnae clubs celebrated together with a dinner at the At-
lanta Athletic club, to which they asked husbands and escorts. Mary Palmer (Caldwell)
McFarland was in charge of the program for the banquet, and much of the success
of the evening is due to her, and to Clara (Whips) Dunn and Mary Helen (Schneider)
Head. Dr. McCain, Miss Flopkins, Mr. and Mrs. Dieckman, Mr. and Mrs. Stukes, Mr.
and Mrs. Johnson and the girls in the glee club were guests from the college. Clara
(Whips) Dunn welcomed the alumnae from the Atlanta club, Mary Knox from the
Decatur club, and Allie (Candler) Guy, from the general alumnae association. Ethel
(Alexander) Gaines spoke to the husbands, commending their bravery on coming to an
alumnae dinner, and Dr. J. Sam Guy responded valiantly for the husbands. Polly Stone,
alumnae secretary, introduced Dr. McCain, the chief speaker of the evening, and "the
sweetest and best, our Agnes Scott mother, Miss Flopkins," who greeted her "sons
and daughters." Mary Ruth Rountree, '30; Frances (Gilliland) Stukes, '24, and the
glee club rendered a musical program, accompanied by Gussie (O'Neal) Johnson. Mary
Ben Wright, '2 5, gave two readings. This is the first time that the Atlanta alumnae
have celebrated Founder's Day in a body, and the occasion was such an enjoyable one
that they have decided to have it an annual event. Ninety-nine were present at this
first dinner.

The March meeting of the Atlanta club was held at the home of Clara (Whips)
Dunn on Peachtree Street. Dr. George Flays, head of the English department, spoke on
his year in Constantinople, and made a most interesting talk on the customs and life
in modern Turkey. In April, Dr. Hayes spoke to the Decatur club. The Atlanta club
has sent out two new chairs for the Alumnae House living room. They are carved
wood, upholstered in damask, and are lovely additions to the room.

Quenelle Harrold writes from Americus, Ga.: "We have formed an Agnes Scott
club here, and it is a most enthusiastic one. There are ten or twelve members that we
can count on. We have all agreed for the present at least to keep the club a purely
social and literary affair and not try to make money. We have dues of twenty-five
cents a month, and with that we have joined the Book-of-the-Month club. To our next
meeting we are inviting two girls who are thinking of going to Agnes Scott next
year. Every Thanksgiving when the Alumnae House has its birthday party, we hope
to be able to present some little gift." Quenelle Harrold is president of the Americus
club, and Alice McNeill secretary-treasurer.

From Albany, Ga., comes this letter from Martha (Mcintosh) Nail: "With three
hundred and sixty-five other nights in this year, why did it have to pour in torrents on
February 22nd? Ten faithful and true Agnes Scott alumnae weathered the elements and
got together in spite of the deluge, only to be greeted with 'squeek-squank, grr, grr,
eee-ow!' from the radio! We were bitterly disappointed, but we had a delightful evening
together and became obsessed with the idea of forming a club here. We are all house-
keepers, mothers, or teachers and are flushed with neither time nor money, but we
are interested in Agnes Scott and each other and like the idea of getting together." .

Savannah, Ga., is forming a club this spring. Alice Weichselbaum writes: "On Febru-
ary 22nd we managed to gather six or seven old members of Agnes Scott together for
a very pleasant little dinner, at which we decided to form a Savannah club. Please tell
us just how your other alumnae groups have formed, what they are doing, and what-
ever else you might wish to contribute in helping us organize. We want to become
active at some time in the very near future."

IN APPRECIATION OF MISS HEARON

Among the many letters from alumnae which have poured into the alumnae office
ever since Miss Hearon's death, we choose this one to print since it puts into words just
the feeling that so many of us have about her loss.

"The news of Miss Hearon's death was a great shock to me. I knew that she had
been ill, but had no idea how critical her condition was. Without minimizing my
love and respect for a number of others there at Agnes Scott, Miss Hearon was one
of my best-loved professors. How many times I went to her little room in Lupton for
a long talk! And I was always welcome, no matter how busy she might be. It was
her faith in me, along with that of others too, that carried me through some rather
tempestuous periods. When I went back to my class reunion, she was one of those
whom I most enjoyed seeing. So I feel a real personal loss, without mentioning the
loss to the college as a whole."

PLANNING TO STUDY ABROAD?

Bulletins have been received at the Alumnae office from a number of foreign col-
leges and universities, offering summer courses as well as regular winter work.

One of the rare opportunities offered to American women for vacation study is
that presented by the Women's Colleges at Oxford. From July 6 to 27 the facilities of
these institutions will be at the disposal of American secondary school teachers and col-
lege graduates. The topic of the course is "England in the Nineteenth Century," and
the lectures are planned to approach this subject from the angles of philosophy, liter-
ature, economic and scientific achievement, and political and social development. One
lecture is devoted to Queen Victoria. The Oxford Committee has secured the services
of prominent British scholars for this course. In addition to the lectures there will be
discussion classes organized on the Oxford tutorial plan. The fee is $12 5 covering full
board and residence, lectures and classes, excursions and plays. Requests for information
and application blanks should be addressed to the Secretary of the Committee on Inter-
national Relations of the American Association of University Women, 1634, Eye St.,
N. W., Washington, D. C.

With the co-operation of the Campagnie Francaise du Tourisme, the Sorbonne has ar-
ranged seven weeks of study and travel in France, lasting from July 7 to August 27.
The general plan includes 60 hours of French language and literature, 36 hours of uni-
versity lectures, 92 hours of conducted visits, and an academic tour of two weeks.
The price of this is approximately $230. More information may be obtained from M.
Henry Goy, head of the university information office, Sorbonne, Paris.

Through the International Federation of University Women it will be possible this
summer for those of the members of the A. A. U. W. who plan to go to Europe to be-
come acquainted with university women in other countries and to visit places of interest
under their guidance. If you are interested in this, you may secure further informa-
tion from Miss Esther Caukin, 1634 Eye St., N. W., Washington, D. C.

The International University Cruise, Inc., has announced its curriculum and around
the world itinerary for the 192 8-29 session. They will sail from New York on October
6 and arrive in New York eight months later, on June 1, 1929. The charges range from
$2,500 to $4,150. Further information may be secured from them at 11 Broadway,
New York City.

If you would like to study French or Spanish but cannot manage a trip abroad this
summer, the Middlebury College in Vermont offers you the next best thing: native in-
structors, splendid curricula, and seven weeks of study when you will not hear
a word of English spoken. The French and Spanish schools are separate, and students
in each are bound in honor to speak only the language studied, even among themselves.
Margaret Phythian, '16, and Vivian Little, '24, studied in the French chateau in Middle-
bury last summer, and they will be glad to give you more information about the school.

The University of California, while not "abroad," is quite as far as Europe to many
of us, and a trip there involves a tour of the west. The University at Berkeley will
have Intersession from May 21 to June 30, and the regular summer session from July 2
to August 11. Their branch in Los Angeles will hold summer session at the same time.

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

CAMPUS NEWS

A new custom which has proved very popular
on the campus this spring is called "vagabonding
courses." It began at Harvard, but has spread
rapidly to other colleges, and faculty, students,
and visiting alumnae enjoy it at Agnes Scott. Each
week in the Agonistic is printed a list of the most
interesting lectures which are to be given the fol-
lowing week their time of meeting, professor,
classroom, etc. These special ones are chosen as
most interesting because they have a general cul-
tural value, and are complete in themselves. The
professors have been interviewed beforehand and
permission to attend these classes granted. A num-
ber of students take advantage of this permission to
drop into classes that their full schedules do not
permit them to take for credit, but in which they
are interested. Art history, Greek thought, com-
parative religions, English lietrature, French and
Economics are proving most popular. And now
that spring has come, there are frequently tag-a-
longs on Miss Westall's botany field trips.

Miss Gooch, Mary Freeman, '26, who is a grad-
uate of the Curry School of Expression in Bos-
ton, and Mrs. Janet Millis Shepherd, a former
Carnegie Tech student, are to conduct a branch
of the Curry School of expression in Decatur this
summer. Miss Gooch had charge of the summer
school in Boston last year, and is thoroughly capable
of managing this new branch. The students will
use Rebekah Scott Hall for work, and Boyd Cot-
tage as dormitory space.

After fighting like cats and dogs all during the
year, the Freshman and Sophomore classes have
surprised the entire college community by joining
forces quite amicably and giving a joint Carnival
on April 14th. Posters flaming with the fresh-
man green and the sophomore red smote the eye on
every campus tree, advertising the "Freshmore
Carnival." Sister classes have occasionally given
joint entertainments, but this is the first time that
such avowed enemies have smoked the pipe of
peace together.

When the Georgia Education Association met in
Atlanta the middle of April, it brought together
a number of the Agnes Scott alumnae who are
engaged in educational work throughout the state.
On Friday, April 13, these Agnes Scott alumnae
teachers met for a dinner at the Alumnae House.

BLACKFRIARS TO PLAY IN NEW YORK

Two of the plays done in Miss Nan Stephens'
play-writing class at Agnes Scott will be presented
in New York during the week of May 7 in the
Little Theatre Tournament, in which victory means
possession of the coveted Belasco cup. They are
"Pink and Patches," by Margaret Bland, '2 (which
was first presented in 1926 at the college under the
title "The Darned Dress"), which the Blackfriars
will play, and "The Hero," a Civil War play by
Frances Hargis, '28. This play won the $100
prize offered by the Savannah Town Theatre re-
cently. It was given at Agnes Scott for the first
time during February.

The Little Theatre Tournament in New York
attracts entries from all over the United States.
Twenty plays arc presented, four each night, and
the four best of this collection are selected by
the judges for a final tryout on the sixth night.

"Pink and Patches" will be presented on the
New York stage by almost the same group of
Blackfriars who took the roles in the original per-
formance. They are: Elizabeth McCallie, '27, At-
lanta; Frances Freeborn, '27, Decatur; Mary Say-
wood, '28, Decatur, and Louisa Duls, '26, Char-
lotte, N. C. This cast will be taken to New York
by Miss Frances K. Gooch, director of Blackfriars.

"The Hero," by Frances Hargis, will probably
be presented in the tournament by a Savannah
cast. It will be rather unique to have two Agnes
Scott plays competing against each other, and it
is decidedly unique that of twenty plays given in
this tournament, two were written on our campus.

Tickets will be on sale in New York, and alum-
nae there are urged to attend these performances.
Alumnae in other places are asked to write any
friends in New York whom they think would
be interested.

CLASS OF '2 8 LEAVES MEMORIAL TO MISS
HEARON
The gift of the class of 1928 to the college as
they leave the campus will take the form of an
Hearon Memorial History room in the library,
similar to the Armistead Memorial English room
there. For this purpose the present Economics
room will be redecorated and refurnished by the
class, and a memorial tablet to Miss Hearon and
three hundred of her personal history books one
of her gifts to the college will be placed there.

AGNES SCOTT HEIR TO VALUABLE
PROPERTY

Agnes Scott became the heir to valuable property
in Waynesboro, Ga., on February 4 when Judge
W. H. Davis died. Judge Davis' wife, who was
Marie Wilkins, of Waynesboro, attended Agnes
Scott Institute from 1893 to 1897. She died
shortly after her marriage. Her mother, in making
her will, specified that if Judge Davis did not
remarry, the home lot and adjoining place would
be left to Agnes Scott. He did not marry again,
and the Wilkins land was transferred to the
college.

In 1920 this property was appraised at $34,000
and will probably bring about $20,000 now. The
money will be used as a scholarship fund.

RECOMMENDED BOOKS
Preschool Education. A historical and critical
study, by Use Forest. New York: Macmillan, 1927.
Pp. xi, 3 89.

In "Preschool Education,* Dr. Forest has assem-
bled in one book extensive data which until very re-
cently a student interested in this subject must col-
lect for himself from many and various sources.
It is of primary value to parents and teachers
of young children and to students of child de-
velopment.

Why Stop Learning? by Dorothy Canfield Fisher.

Harcourt, Brace & Co., New York, 1927. $2.00.

This is a valuable survey of one of the most re-
markable features of modern life, the comico-
magniflcent struggle of the average American for
more education. The author surveys, chapter by
chapter, the most conspicuous methods by which
the adult public is voluntarily putting itself to
school the correspondence school, free public
libraries, women's clubs. The chapter, "What
Other People Are Doing," touches on foreign ex-
periments.

America Comes of Age. Translated from the
French of Andre Siegfried by H. H. and Doris
Hemming. Harcourt, Brace and Co., 1927. $3.00.

M. Siegfried, a professor at the School of Social
Sciences in Paris, reviews in turn race assimilation,
fundamentalism, the American conception of the
state, the limitations placed on free association,
the Negro problem, immigration, birth control, the
Ku-Klux Klan, the Anglo-Saxon's attitude, mass
production, high wages, the inferior part played in
America by politics, the lack of national unity
in regard to foreign relations, the Yellow Peril,
Anglo-American relations, Franco-American rela-
tions. The book shows how we of America are be-
coming standardized as the result of human sub-
ordination to mechanical production. The New
York Times remarks: " 'America Comes of Age'
is the most uncannily penetrating and most excit-
ing commentary on America."

years. I even lost sight of my roommates for a
few years, but have gotten in touch with Louise

I taught in our country schools here, then I was
a stenographer and bookkeeper until my marriage
in 1919. Some of the girls on the 'lost sister' list
I should like to hear about, and possibly later on,
after you have had time to hear of them, I may
ask you about them. I should like so much to see
Miss Hopkins and Miss McKinney again." And in

One of our six alumni, Alfred S. Mead, writes
from Riverside, Calif. : "In spite of all the very
scandalous things you said about the alumni of
Agnes Scott, you are forgiven, as the write-up in
the January Quarterly makes amends for past
offences. You are right in blaming our 'ousting'
from the Decatur Female Seminary on the fact that
we would assert our masculinity. The effect of
so much masculinity among so many girls was
demoralizing to the latter, and the trustees real-
ized that the girls would never do good work under
the circumstances. The fact, however, that all
of these boys have since married, and two of them
(Lewis Gaines and I) went so far as to marry
Agnes Scott girls is clear proof that the early
impressions we received were favorable. Some day
Mrs. Mead and I hope to make a trip East during
the school year and will try to plan it about com-
mencement time, as I think it would be quite an
experience for one of the alumni to be at Agnes
Scott on this important date." Mrs. Mead is

up fall itinerating work. My last class was in
a seaport town on a bay of the Yellow Sea. My
brother, who was in those regions, too, took me
over in our Ford. I was the first American lady
that had ever been to Chulpo, and was evidently
an interesting show. Each window in the church
was crowded on the outside with little faces peer-
ing in and we had to bolt the doors to keep them
from romping in for a closer sightsee. The first
night the church was packed and many faces at
the windows too many young brides too bashful
to come in, though they were urged to. One woman
came in bringing with her three of her friends,
all elderly women and evidently from well to do
homes. They were all so interested and the first
one asked such earnest questions about the Chris-
tian's hope of eternal life, especially about the life
beyond the grave. I remember she said she had
read the whole Bible through to find the answer to
something she wanted to know !

tion about the American Alumni Council conference
in Berkeley in February. Since we work until
1 P. M. on Saturdays I could not attend, but
I went over as soon as I could. I met Mrs.
fernsten, chairman of the program commit-
tee, and had a pleasant visit with her. I have
been looking up our Agnes Scott alumnae out
here. I spent a pleasant afternoon with Mary
(Bedinger) Echols over in Oakland not long ago.
She has three lovely boys, the youngest just
two, and a perfect dear. They are an interest-
ing family. Vivien (Hart) Henderson has called.
She has a young son and husband whom I'm
to meet as soon as I can find time to go over.
If my wishes would come true, I'd be home next
winter, for I am really homesick, but just now
they are decentralizing the treasury work and so it
may be some time before a transfer can be put
through." "Chick's" breezy letters are always a joy

my address once more on the alumnae mailing-

Louise Ash is delighted with her work at the
Prichard School for Orphan boys and girls in
Ona, W. Va. "We are in the adopting business
instead of supplying children where homes are
offered. All of our children are to be ours until
they are twenty-one years at least. We couldn't
bear to part with a one. Our family at present
consists of thirteen children, Kathleen Kennedy, one
of our Grundy graduates, who assists, and myself.
With ten of these thirteen children between two
and five years we all keep busy all the time. I
wish we had a picture of the whole lot, but
haven't, for as soon as we get a group picture,
then we get more children ! We have a lovely
home for them on a big dairy farm and are all
as happy as can be. We should be delighted to
have some of our Agnes Scott friends come to
see us any time."

Agnes Scott Donaldson writes from Los Angeles
that she has joined a California Agnes Scott

Katherine (Lindamood) Catlett amazes us with
the list of her numerous and varied activities. She
is living in Kellyville, Okla., and getting a real
taste of the west. There are no servants to be
had, so besides being a very efficient mother and
housekeeper, Katherine serves as cook, nurse, seam-
stress, and general handy-man. In addition to all
this she finds time to enjoy a circle of con-
genial friends and takes her turn at keeping the
neighborhood children while the mothers do society.
She plans to visit in Mississippi this spring.

Colo., a tiny hamlet tucked away in the Rockies,
where there are exactly seventeen inhabitants be-
sides ourselves. Sanford will probably write the
Great American Novel before the winter is over.
At any rate we are having lots of fun and we are
getting some work done, both of us. I am going
to write to every Agnes Scotter that may be inter-
ested in hearing from me, as I have more time than
I've ever had before." Ruth has two children :
Ruth Nisbet Morehouse, 8, and John Sanford Jar-
rell, not quite 2.

Next class reunion this very May, 1928 !

Hallie (Alexander) Turner writes from 2206
Wynnton Dr., Columbus, Ga. : "I am looking for-
ward to the 1918 reunion. Though it has been so
long since that year, it seems only yesterday that
I was a scared freshman, then so soon, a dignified
senior, and now, to the present students, I'll appear
an old, old lady. Fortunately, however, I don't
seem so old to myself, and shall be so glad to see
how ten years have affected the other '18, '19, and
'20 girls."

Olive (Hardwick) Cross has moved to Maynard,
Mass., where her husband is the recor of St.
George's Episcopal Church.

A delightful letter from Evamaie (Willingham)
Park says: "The world do move! Imagine the
girls of old '18 out of college ten years ! Why, I'm
sure we don't look older than seniors ! Well, any-
how, sad as I feel about the ten years, yet I am
mighty glad to get to see all the old girls again.
I am planning to take in all of commencement
that an Atlanta 'working-girl' can."

that if any of the alumnae pass this way,
they will take time to look me up." Since 1923,
Goldie has been a practicing physician and surgeon.

the east coast, spent a month in Miami, and drove
back up the west coast, visiting in Fort Myers and
Tampa. This was Helen's first trip down into
Florida and she is almost as enthusiastic over it as
she was over California. To Helen belongs a great
deal of credit for the lovely party that the Alumnae
Association gave the senior class on April 19, at
Allie (Candler) Guy's home. On account of the
illness of the chairman of the entertainment com-
mititee, Aimee D. (Glover) Little, Helen acted as

in Jacksonville, Fla., to Mr. Benson Forbush Tigner,
formerly of Atlanta.

Next class reunion, 1929.

(The class secretary of '22 continues to be a joy
to the general alumnae secretary ! The business-
like way she goes about garnering in news of her
class, and the results that girl gets ! Even in all
the excitement of getting married, Sarah Till did
not forget her duties as class secretary, but wrote
to each of the forty-one members of '22 begging for
news for the April Quarterly. )

Agnes Adams has been elected recording secretary
of the Mu Omega chapter of the Mu Phi Epsilon
sorority of the Conservatory of Music in Atlanta.
She takes a leading part in musical affairs in
Atlanta. Agnes teaches violin at the Atlanta
Conservatory.

Mary Barton, in Baltimore, is hoping to attend
the American Library Association meeting in West
Baden, Ind., in May. Mary had time only for
a very small card ; I wish I had fifty small cards
from the rest of '22 ! Remember when she and
Ethel Ware tied for first place in the class ? She
has first place still in the class of prompt cor-
respondents !

Nell Buchanan spent the month of March in
Tuscaloosa, Ala., the headquarters of the Brownell
Tour Company, with which she works. Mary Kees-
ler's mother is to be in the party that Nell takes
to Europe this summer.

Eunice (Dean) Major thinks, and justly, that her
one-time roommate and your erring secretary, is
at the foot of the class Mary Barton heads. Eunice
has been doing a number of things since last
we saw her : two years' teaching, a wedding, a
home, dinner parties, "and in the space of less than
two years . . . three of the most adorable babies
in the world. I defy anyone in the class of '22 to
better that record !" Hal, Jr., is twenty-one months
older than the twins. Eunice says that they
"keep me a whole lot busier than Agnes Scott
ever did, and I thought I was run to death there."
She gives the address of Louise Dean, reported
among the missing, and ex '22, as Mrs. Donald
Gordon Davidson, 4207 Chester Ave., Philadelphia.

Ruth Evans was married on March 1 at her home
in Fort Valley, Ga., to Dr. Joseph William Larimore,
of St. Louis, Mo. Ann Heys, '27, Ruth's cousin,
played the wedding march, and among the out-
of-town guests were Liz Brown, of Albany, and
Christine (Evans) Murray, '23, of Birmingham.
Dr. Larimore is a graduate of DePaw University
in Indiana, and of the Washington University
medical school, where he is now an instructor. Dur-
ing the world war he was connected with the
American base hospital at Rouen. The Larimores
are spending their honeymoon in Europe and will
be at home afterwards at the Coronado Hotel in
St. Louis.

Otto (Gilbert) Williams writes: "My new ad-
dress is Franktown, Va., down on the Eastern Shore,
the country famous for its potatoes, strawberries,
and sea food. We are most pleasantly situated
here. If there are any Agnes Scott girls on the
shore please let me know about them." (Margaret
Bull, '26, is teaching at Cheriton.)

And Ruth (Hall) Bryant: "When your note came,
I had the same home, same baby, same everything,
but now in addition to our fine son, Virgil, Jr., we
have a darling little daughter, Flora Wylie. And
a new home, too ! Virgil has accepted a call to

26

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

the Gentilly Park Presbyterian Church in New
Orleans, so here we are living at 4471 Arts Street
in this fascinating city. I find the markets especial-
ly interesting, and how we did enjoy Mardi Gras !"
Do you suppose Virgil, Sr., ever saw the little
silhouette below Ruth's senior picture in the 1922
Silhouette ? Get your Silhouette out and look at it
again and your own. It's worth it. The years
will roll away !

Frances Harper is another good correspondent. She /
is as busy as can be training contestants in first'
and second year Latin for the State High School
rally to be held at Louisiana State University in
April, preparing to march up herself and "receive
an M.A. in history on the ninth of June in the
beautiful Greek theatre at L. S. U., and thinking
about flowered silks and Easter bonnets." Her
letter begins : "I shall soon be the sole surviving
old maid schoolteacher of the class of '22. You
ought to know better than to ask a school teacher
about plans for the spring : as if she could have
any, besides doing more of the same thing."

Mary Catherine (McKinney) Barker has a hus-
band who is a lawyer, a new daughter, Catherine
McKinney (you know there is a three-year old son,
Henry McKinney), and a new home on Taylor
Street Extension in Bristol, Tenn. She spent most
of last fall in Nashville, and while there saw sev-
eral Agnes Scott girls ; Elizabeth Molloy, '23 ;
Georgia (Weaver) Wiggingon, and Josephine
(Douglas) Harwell, '25. She sees A. S. C. girls in
Bristol, too: Margaret Anderson and Peg (Hed-
rick) Nichols are members of '21 that '22 remem-
bers.

Little Mary McLellan Manly is six months old
now, and her proud parents say she is quite the
dearest, prettiest, smartest little baby in Dalton.
Whereupon Gertrude (Manly) McFarland and
Margaretta (Womelsdorf) Lumpkin rise up indig-
nantly to claim that distinction for their young
offspring. And they are all right !

Carolyn (Moore) Gressette has a new house, red
brick with cream trimmings. Carolyn sent news
of other alumnae, too. Susye (Mims) Lazenby, '23,
has just completed a new house in Monroeville,
Ala. ; Alice Carr, ex '24, is teaching music in Bain-
bridge, Ga. (she was graduated from the Cincin-
nati Conservatory), Betty Sue Lane, ex '24, is Mrs.
Fred Ray, of Columbus, Ga. She has a young
daughter.

Lucia Murchison is working in the social service
department of Johns Hopkins Hospital. She got
her M.A. last June from Johns Hopkins University.
Her address is 1237 Mt. Royal Ave., Baltimore.

Frances Oliver was in Atlanta in April to at-
tend the Georgia Education Association. In the
summer, she is counting on a trip to New England,
New York and other places.

Ruth Scandrett is doing factory work in New
York city to get the industrial viewpoint. She is
very thrilled over her work and the girls with whom
she comes in contact. Her address is 15 St. Luke's
Place, just a block up from the residence of Mayor
Jimmie Walker. Ruth will do settlement work in
Chicago again this summer.

Louie Dean (Stephens) Hays is very much in-
terested in the Memphis Agnes Scott alumnae. If
you who have enjoyed your local alumnae club
will give her any suggestions for Memphis, I know
she will appreciate them.

Annie Mae Strickland has the sympathy of '22 in
the loss of her mother several months ago. She
is at home this year in Stilson, Ga. She writes:
"I taught until this year, but now I am a student
again : I'm learning to cook. At first I scorched
something every day, but they say I'm improving.
Every other day is my rate now." Annie Mae
speaks for us all when she adds : "I read every
word of the Alumnae Quarterly."

Laurie Belle Stubbs holds the teacher's record :
seven former students at Agnes Scott six fresh-
men and a junior. She is teaching French and
Freshman and Sophomore English literature at
Emory High School, working on her M.A. at
the University, and singing contralto in the Emory
choir. She came out to Agnes Scott for stunt night

and for numerous week-ends this year. She could
not come to reunion last spring because of three
dozen rehearsals and senior exams, but next May,
1929, she must arrange things differently. Let's
all be there !

Emily Thomas will be married on May 5th at
her home in Prattville. Ala., to Mr. Ernest P. John-
ston. Augusta Thomas, '24, will be maid of honor,
and the wedding will assemble a number of Agnes
Scott alumnae. Mr. Johnston is connected with
the Farm Bureau Work in Selma, Ala., where he
and Emily will live. Emily is so interested in
her work as probation officer for the county that
she plans to continue it after her marriage.

Esther Joy (Trump) Hamlet is another home-
maker. Her new house at 507 E. 5th St., Tus-
cumbia, is completed by now. She and her
family had been renting the manse from the
unmarried minister, but he did not remain un-
married, so in the midst of building, they were
forced to move. Going into the new house makes
a total of two moves in three months. And still
Joy remembered to write to '22 ! She says that the
minister's bride is Catherine Graeber, '26, now
Catherine (Graeber) Crowe. Joy locates one of the
lost alumnae, Mettie Moody, who is Mrs. John
Louis Hyde, Anapolis Ave., Sheffield, Ala. Mettie
has a fine young son a year old.

"Sarah Till can find nothing to say. She is so
divided between plans for a wedding on the twenty-
eighth of March and a desire to get this 'family'
letter into the afternoon mail that all she can
think of is the formal announcement : Mr. Charles
Till announces the engagement of his daughter,
Sarah Knapp, to Mr. Frank Vincent Davis. The
wedding will take place quietly, in the presence of
the immediate families of the young people, at
the home of the bride's grandmother, Mrs. C. V.
Knapp, on Wednesday, March 28, 1928. Three
ideas no, four do bob up ! She has a ring that,
like all engagement rings, is the most beautiful in
the world ; the minister married her mother and
father, his mother and father, and the grand-
mothers and grandfathers. If only Lil (McAlpine)
Butner and Frances (Gilliland) Stukes could sing,
and you all could come !" One of Sarah's wedding
presents was an automobile, and she and Frank
(who has already been formally adopted into '22)
drove by Atlanta and Agnes Scott on their way
home from Charleston and the Magnolia Gardens.
They had a tiny visit with Eunice (Dean) Major
in Anderson.

(Please, '22, write to the secretary in April with-
out being asked. She cannot write to you, and
a last letter to the Quarterly must go in the
first of May. What are your plans for the sum-
mer ? How many are planning European jaunts ?
The secretary wishes, most of all, for an April
shower of letters. )

Martha Lee (Taliaferro) Donovan writes: "Please
announce the arrival of my daughter, Geraldine
Taliaferro, on April 2nd. If she keeps up the
yell she practices nightly, she will be a champ
cheer leader some day."

Ruth Carmichael, ex '22, is now Mrs. O. J.
Oosterhoudt, Jacksonville, Fla. Will someone send
her street addres sto the alumnae office?

Marjorie Fish, ex '22, is living at 1702 Osceola
St., Jacksonville, Fla.

Dolly Hart, ex '22, whose name is really Irene
Horton Hart, was married on February 4 to Mr.
Toulman Williams Hurt. Her wedding was a
brilliant affair, taking place at All Saints' Episcopal
Church in Atlanta. Anne (Hart) Equen, '21, Dolly's
sister, was matron of honor, and little Anne Equen
was flower girl. Perrin Nicolson III, son of Eliz-
abeth (Tuller) Nicolson, was junior groomsman and
ring bearer. Following the ceremony a reception
was held at the home of Anne (Hart) Equen on
East 17th Street, where Erskine (Jarnagin) Forgy
assisted in entertaining. Mr. Hurt is an alumnus
of Georgia Tech, a member of the Kappa Alpha
fraternity, and manager and cashier of the Atlanta
branch of the Coco-Cola company. All Atlanta is
glad that Dolly's marriage will not take her away,
for she is an active member of the Junior League,
the Cotillion Club, and other organizations.

Next class reunion, 1929.

Clara Mae Allen spent the winter in Florida
with her family. While they were gone, Imogene,
who is teaching in the Decatur High School, lived
at the new Candler Hotel. Having a steady job
is certainly a drawback, says Imogene, when the
rest of the family go traveling.

Dorothy (Bowron) Collins accompanied her hus-
band on a business trip to Atlanta recently. They
brought little Patsy, of course, who spent a joy-
ous afternoon chasing the Agnes Scott campus
squirrels, and gazing wide-eyed at the big swim-
ming pool. With her fair skin, Irish blue eyes,
and black curls, she is one of the most beautiful
Agnes Scott "granddaughters."

Christine (Evans) Murray has moved to Birming-
ham where her husband is connected with the Gen-
eral Motors Acceptance Corporation.

Mary (Goodrich) Meredith is living at 3638 Hed-
rick St., Jacksonville, Fla.

Lucie Howard sailed on January 14 for Europe.

Lois McClain is enjoying her work in Birming-
ham, but "every once in so often," as Sarah Maud
Ruggles would say, she slips back to Jasper, Ga.,
for a week-end.

Beth (McClure) McGeachy writes from Edin-
burgh : "I am dreadfully sorry that we won't be
back by commencement time, but we won't leave
here until about the last of June. At Christmas
time we took a trip on the continent a glorious
time in Paris, Lucerne, Milan, Florence, Rome,
Paris again. We went to Rome through the Alps
and came back by the Riviera. We may spend the
month of June in the Black Forest of Germany. I'll
always send you an address, for I don't want to
miss an Alumnae Quarterly. It is truly good news
in a far country."

Hilda McConnell was married on April 7 at her
home in Royston, Ga., to Mr. Brainerd Rhea Adams,
formerly of Coral Gables, but now of Columbus, Ga.
Mr. Adams is an alumnus of Georgia Tech, where
as "B. Adams" he was a well-known player on the
football team. He is a member of the Kappa Sigma
fraternity. He is related to Janef Preston, '21, and
Nell Buchanan, '22. The Adams are living at Ral-
ston Hotel in Columbus.

Martha (Mcintosh) Nail writes: "Between house-
keeping, running after Alice, and digging in my
flower-beds I have little time for anything else.
While Alice sleeps, I plant seed and dig around my
shrubbery."

A letter from Anna Meade at the Savoy-Plaza in
New York may well make school-teachers and
working-girl members of '23 grind their teeth in
envy. "I am having a heavenly whirl here. It has
been three years since I was up, so I had to spend
a little time to catch up before sailing. We have
seen some excellent plays, and that magnificent
flower show last week. Please ask any Agnes
Scott alumnae I know who are coming to Europe
this summer to drop me a note at that familiar
address, care American Express at 11 rue Scribe. I
have definite hopes of seeing Nell Buchanan and her
party, and I am thrilled to death over seeing Beth
and Dan in Scotland. I haven't laid eyes on
Beth since we graduated. I shall probably be
gone about six months ; am traveling with an aunt,
a cousin, and a friend. (Not that the aunt and
the cousin aren't that too!)"

Mary White Caldwell, ex '23, writes : "It is just
a year ago that I was in the midst of all the ex-
citement in Nanking. I'll never forget that March
day when, after hearing cannon and small firing
outside the city all day long, came the consul's
order to pack light hand-baggage, including food,
and be ready to leave at a moment's notice. We
packed by candle-light and left at dawn, to remain
on a U. S. gunboat for three days until picked up
by merchantmen and taken to Shanghai. I had a
wonderful trip back to the States, visited Los An-
geles and the Grand Canyon. I sometimes wonder
if I dreamed the Nanking bombardment." Mary
is working in Alabama.

Agnes Scotter thinking of studying abroad next
year get in touch with her.

Martha (Eakes) Matthews is still in Chicago. Her

sending two excellent students from there to Agnes

Kate Higgs writes from Arizona: "I like teaching
much better than office work although I never ex-
pected to teach in the grades and felt pretty shaky
about making a success of it when I began. The
principal informed me the other day that he is
very well satisfied with what I have done, and
his opinion of one's work is very important just
now since re-election of teachers comes up the
middle of this month. Our school is out May 25th.
My sister, Mabel, who teaches in the Tucson High
School, and I are planning on going to Los Angeles
in a car which we have just bought. We shall
attend the University of Southern California, where
I hope to get my California Secondary Certificate in
six or eight weeks. The rest of the time we want
to do a little touring of California. Charlotte ('27),
who is with Mabel in Tucson, is also going."

gave Margaret permission to meet him in town
back in '23 and '24.

Mary (Mann) Boon has moved into her new
bungalow on Bowling Road, in Garden Hills, At-
lanta.

Margaret (Powell) Gay writes from Shreveport:
"E. is planning a trip to Agnes Scott this spring,
and I certainly should like to come with her and
show off my child. We get more enamored of her
all the time, but try not to talk about her all
the time to other people. It is such a temptation,
though, for she is a darling !" Little Margaret will
be a year old on September 12th.

Daisy Frances Smith has moved to 223 S. 36th
St., in Philadelphia.

Mary Stewart says that her entire time "is taken
up with Latin, Latin, Latin ! Next week I am

hoping I won't be mortified to death at the results.
Elvie (Wilson) Wiley sent me a picture recently
of her husband and baby. She seems blissfully
happy and the picture certainly explains why."

there there was only one murder and one incendiary
fire.

Augusta Thomas has been visiting Nonie (Peck)
Booth in Anniston, Ala., Jack (Evans) Brownlee,
in Anderson, S. C., and E. Henry in Augusta, Ga.
She says that Nonie is "muchly married," that Jack
keeps house easier than anybody she ever saw, and
that E. Henry has the travel bug and now that
she has conquered Europe, talks darkly of Cali-
fornia and the west. Augusta stopped by the
Alumnae House twice in the course of her travels,
and she and Dick Scandrett and Polly Stone did
a lot of gossiping about the other members of '24.

Helen Wright has been very ill this spring, but
is back with her Latin classes now. She is glad to
be back, but to most of us illness would be vastly
preferable.

Point, N. C. Her address, is 230 Washington Street.

Georgia May Little had as her guest during
spring holidays (which she, as a business woman,
doesn't have) Elizabeth Cheatham, who lives right
around the corner from George on Tenth Street.
"And we had just as much fun." said George, "as
if I'd had five days off and E. had really gone
off somewhere for a sure-enough visit. We have
decided that it's the company, and not days off
nor distance that makes a real vacation."

Theta Manly will attend the Georgia Press As-
sociation meeting in New York City and Montreal
the first week in May. She will go up by boat
from Savannah.

Mary Walker Perry came south this spring for
the first time since her graduation. She visited her

29

Brownlee in Anderson, S. C. ; Nonie (Peck) Booth
in Anniston, Ala. ; Lucy Oliver in Montgomery,
Ala.; Laura (Oliver) Fuller in Birmingham, Ala.,
and Grace Boone in Newnan, Ga. This was Walkie's
first look at a number of her old friends' husbands
and offsprings, and when she stopped by the Alum-
nae House on her way home, she was loud in her
praises of them.

Lucile (Phippenl Shingler's young daughter, Mary
Claudia, was born in March at Mrs. Phippen's home
in Decatur. Lucile was one proud mother when

Will someone send in the present addresses of
Josephine Schuessler and Carolyn (Smith) Whipple?

Ella ( Smith ) Hayes writes from her beautiful old
home out from Nashville : "The Quarterly means
more to me now than ever before, since I am no
longer able to run out to Agnes Scott for news in
person. My husband gets a course in Agnes Scott
from each issue, as I always read them aloud.
Isabel Ferguson was down from Bowling Green,
Ky., a week-end in February. She impressed me
greatly with all her newly acquired education,
and 1 am afraid I walked her to death showing
her lambs, calves, pigs, and everything else to be
seen on the farm. We talked about everyone
we could think of, and wished the whole bunch
of our old friends could have been here. Daffodils
have been in bloom here for some time and the
country is green again. I am truly glad for a
little spot in which I can dig for flowers. But
though it's nice to be married, how fine it would
be now to have a bunch of old Agnes Scotters
before a fire discussing the weighty problems of
the world racial relations, orthodoxy, strikes, and
the financial possibilities of a tea room supper !"

Emily Spivey lost her father in the early spring.

Eugenia (Thompson) Aiken's husband has hung
out his shingle for himself, and Eugenia cordially
invites Agnes Scott alumnae who need a good doc-
tor to walk right up and consult him. Their
baby, Eugenia, has blue eyes and golden hair
that can't quite decide whether to curl or not. "I
use all my powers of persuasion on it and brush
it backwards with a damp brush. What else can a
mother do?" asks Eugenia.

Ellen Walker writes that her sleek black bob
has almost disappeared, and that by summer she
will have long enough hair to make quite a respect-
able knot. Ellen saw a number of Agnes Scott
girls who came to Charleston for spring holidays.

Poky Wight writes that she is still engaged in
"the weary work of school teaching. The year has
not been dull, however, since I believe with Henry
Ford in a five-day week, and usually get away
for the week-ends. South Boston is near a lot of
places, so I've had a bit of Danville and Chase
City, five Lynchburg visits in as many homes,
and more of Richmond. I am going to Knoxville to
be a bridesmaid in April and may run by At-
lanta on the way back. At the sound of the
wedding march I am more apt to stop at the
church door and work my fingers than my feet
from the habit of playing the violin at so many
weddings. I am going to take one of my young
hopefuls to a state declamation contest. He is
Canadian, and we talk across the board in
French. Isn't that a good trick for debate chaper-
ones ?"

Mary Ben Wright is kept busy helping with
programs at various functions in Atlanta. She read
recently at a delightful afternoon at the Atlanta
Normal School.

N. C. : "I suppose you know that I closed the

Helen (Bates) Law writes from Schenectady, N.
Y. : "I have started more than once to write how
great I thought it would be to have an Alumnae
House in New York City. I'd adore it especially
now since it would be a haven for me when I go
down I'm just four hours away. I saw by the
Quarterly that Jerry Goodroe, '23, was here, so
immediately dashed over to see her. She teaches in
the Washington Irving School, and happened to be
out that afternoon. I'm going to try again,
though. We have moved into an apartment at
2216 Plum Street."

Lois Bolles is working in the Theological library
at Emory University.

Grace Boone is at home this winter in Newnan,
and she heartily subscribes to the theory that no-
body is so busy as the person who supposedly
"has nothing to do !" She is interested in the
lunch room that the Junior League is beginning in
Newnan. Grace comes to Atlanta frequently, as
Newnan is not very far away, and there is a
paved road all the way.

Since the fall Mary Dudley Brown has been in
Chicago four times, New York ten days (in which
she saw fifteen shows!), Rochester, Minn., twice,
at home in Salisbury three weeks, Davidson Col-
lege with her brothers, Chapel Hill with Lib Lilly
and Helena Hermance, Winston-Salem with Lib
Norfleet, and moved her family to Greensboro. She
writes : "I was ready to leave Greensboro the day
after Christmas when a wire came saying that the
boys were stranded in New Mexico with no one to
bring them to Florida, so I got on the train
and ran out to Albuquerque, picked up the boys
and met the chauffeur and car in Jacksonville.
Since my arrival in Miami Beach, where we are
spending the winter, I have done everything from
having one of the boys in the hospital with
pneumonia and dance at Coral Gables, to interview-
ing the man who sells top soil and the bootleggers
who brazenly ring front door bells in Miami Beach.
Mary Martha has been here, but left some time
ago. The house is Spanish, on the bay, looking
toward the city, and the three small boys that
I've inherited are dears."

Does anyone in the class hear from Mrs. Pilley
Kim Choi ? Please pass the letters on to the

Margaret Tufts is teaching in the Lees-McRae
Institute for Girls in the North Carolina moun-
tains. She writes: "The Alumnae Quarterly came
a few days ago to rescue me from the depths of
exam papers. I always enjoy every word of it as
I would a family letter. Why, I even read the
Institute news just as avidly as if I knew person-
ally every one of those alumnae who came to
Agnes Scott before I was born ! I wish I could
send an account of interesting experiences, but mine
is the uneventful tale of the schoolroom which
many of our number know too well to enjoy
reading again. If 1 only lived near enough to
drop by the Alumnae House now and then! It
would be good to see you all and that blesed old
campus this afternoon. I make frequent visits
through the annuals and kodak pictures, and am
never more thrilled than when the school children
crowd around with "Tell us about when you were
in college." I love my work here. We are almost
in the clouds and apparently inaccessible, but there
are bus routes now from almost any of the nearby
towns. College is more the unusual than the
usual thing for girls in this mountain section, but
numbers of them are deeply interested and will go
if they are given a chance. I have two little girls
in the third year High School who will make fine
college students if I can dig up the money for
them from somewhere."

where she is, if nothing else.

Josephine Bridgman is teaching away in Merry
Hill, N. C, and entertaining her erstwhile room-
mate, Blanche Berry, who, having no serious oc-
cupation can visit her friends and enjoy life.
Blanche writes : "While Jo spend the days at the
school, I wander over the plantation, and lie in
the sand by the sound, and read, and strive to do
some practice of Bach and Schumann. Also I
sleep, so in all, my existence at Scotch Hall is
ideal." Blanche promises to come to Atlanta for
opera and to Agnes Scott for May Day.

Louise Capen says : "I really was married on
March 3rd. And to the same man too, Clinton
Baker, who is a professor at Millsaps College in
Jackson, La. Since my engagement was an-
nounced at the alumnae luncheon last commence-
ment, the Alumnae Register printed me as already
married, and I have had a number of letters to
arrive during the fall and winter addressed to
Mrs. Clinton Baker. But there is such a person
now, and I shall welcome all letters addressed to
her."

in Albany, Ga. A letter received from her in
Bremerton, Wash., just before she came home states :
"I love the navy as much as ever. In nine weeks
I have traveled six thousand miles, and I'll cover
just about as many miles in the next few weeks
and the next and the next, on, on ad infinitum.
I can't say enough in favor of navy life. Nothing
monotonous about it, and the people you do meet !
And the places you do see ! We are having fine
duty here in Washington. The Colorado is in dry
dock for overhauling so Jock's duty is easy and
I'm really having time to get acquainted. We leave
here very soon for Long Beach, Calif. Had an
interesting five-day boat trip up. Twenty-eight
hours in San Francisco just long enough for
three young navy brides to take in Chinatown, the
tea shops, dress shops, etc. Next week Jock and
I intend to be in Canada Vancouver and Victoria
will be our main stops. I go to dinner on the
ship twice a week, so now I'm beginning to feel
at home on it. Rank in the navy doesn't in any
way touch naval officers' wives. Rear-admirals'
wives and captains' wives are just as cordial to you
as wives of ensigns and junior grade lieutenants."

cation methods, and all that sort of thing. I am
longing, hoping, and saving to come back for
reunion."

Presbyterian Church in Winston-Salem, N. C, to
Mr. Milton Edward Miller. The wedding occurred
at high noon ; Dr. Clay Lilly, father of Elizabeth
Lilly, and Bishop Edward Rondthaler of the

Love." Elizabeth Lilly was maid of honor, and
Mrs. Norfleet, Lib's mother, was matron of honor.
Among the bridesmaids were Caroline McKinney,
Mary Martha Lybrook, Hazel (Norfleet) Thomas,
Nancy Jones, and Louisa (Kochtitzky) Crowford.
After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Norfleet enter-
tained at a wedding breakfast at the Country
Club, after which the Millers left in their car
for New Orleans. They came by Agnes Scott on
the way and Lib's old friends at the college were
so glad to see her that they almost stopped
the honeymoon right there and refused to let them
go on to New Orleans. Only by promising to stop
again on the way home to Winston-Salem were they
permitted to go on. Mr. Miller is a graduate of
Davidson College and a member of the Kappa Sigma
fraternity. He is in business in Winston-Salem,
associated with Fogie Brothers. They will make
their home temporarily with Mr. and Mrs. Norfleet.

the winter of 1928-29. Willie White is doing
splendid work, and '27 is justly proud of her.

Sara Stillman is taking a business course in At-
lanta. She comes out to Agnes Scott occasionally
to visit Frances Rainey.

Alice Weichselbaum is doing secretarial work

in an office in Savannah where there are twenty

good-looking men and she is the only girl ! Some
people have all the luck.

Miss Gaylord of the mathematics faculty visited
Roberta Winter in Athens. Tenn., during spring
vacation.

Grace Zachry writes on the official stationery of
the Charity Organization Society of the City of
New York: "As to what I'm doing: I'm having
the time of my life. I'm going to the New York
School of Social Work, have classes four days a
week, and field work at the above address on Thurs-
days and Fridays. I love New York, and the variety
of my work. I'm living with my brother and his
family out in the country- -in Sput Spuyten Duyvil,
so I'm a commuter, too. Said frere is now in
Europe, and his wife joins him in March leaving
me to keep house and take care of two children,
aged two years, and six months, until June. Please
remember me to all the campus."

Grace's address in New York City is Kappock
St., Spuyten Duyvil, if there is such a place. She
didn't print it, and the editor worked that out as
well as she could, but it looks so heathenish she is
afraid she has made some mistakes. If only alum-
nae would stick to "Main Street" it would simplify
matters so for the editor !

WHAT SHOULD BE THE RELATIONSHIP OF ALUMNI
TO THEIR ALMA MATER?

By LOTUS D. COFFMAN,
President of the University of Minnesota.

(This article is taken from an address delivered by President Coffman before the
American Alumni Council in Minneapolis in May.)

The attitude of alumni toward higher institutions of learning seems to differ greatly,
depending upon whether they were graduated by private institutions or by tax-sup-
ported institutions. I think it must be admitted that those graduated by the privately
endowed colleges have a different sense of loyalty and of obligation toward their alma
maters from that possessed by the graduates of tax-supported institutions. For some
reason or other, whether it be due to the selection of the students or the atmosphere of
the institutions, or to some other more subtle cause, the graduates of the tax-supported
universities have not been imbued with the spirit of constant, loyal, and intelligent sup-
port that the graduates of the great privately endowed institutions seem to be imbued
with.

The whole system of higher education seems at the present time to be in a state of
flux. It deserves special consideration and attention. That special consideration and
attention is something to which the layman, particularly the alumnus, might well give
some of his time. An alumnus who thinks only of the welfare of the particular
college that may or may not have been fortunate enough to graduate him, has caught
little of the real meaning of higher education. An alumnus who contributes only to
that institution by his utterances and by opening his purse, who thinks that in building
up bis school it is quite right for him to speak disparagingly of other schools, has been
provincialized by college education.

We would not have any one disinterested in the institution that he attended; on the
contrary we would look with pleasure and approval upon such manifestations of interest
and loyalty as he might exhibit toward the institution of his undergraduate days. At the
same time our conception of him, as a broad-minded man truly interested in public wel-
fare would be greatly enhanced if he gave with corresponding generosity to the institu-
tions within the state in which he resides. We expect a college graduate to continue to
be loyal to the institution that poured out its soul to him in such generous measure.

The struggle of the small private college merits special sympathy and consideration.
These institutions are in hard lines. Many of them are suffering from loss of attendance
and annual deficits. They are wondering what the future has in store for them. No
one, of course, can lift the veil of the future and tell with an absolute degree of cer-
tainty just what is ahead. There are those who maintain that many of these institutions
must go out of existence during the next two decades. It also seems likely that some of
them should deliberately go upon a junior college basis. Very few of them, certainly, can
survive and maintain the level to which they aspire without greatly increased resources.
No one, so far as I know, who is familiar with the history of American education or
who takes a large over-view of American society would suggest that the small private
college is without its distinctive function. It has its place and it is deserving of en-
couragement and support. That support should come not merely from its own alumni
but from all worthy citizens who are in any sense interested in providing college educa-
tion for the youth of the land.

One of the encouraging things about college alumni is that they are becoming in-
creasingly group-conscious and that consciousness is a consciousness of kind rather than
a consciousness which clusters about a given institution. There is not enough of this
as yet, to be sure, but there are signs that it is developing. A consciousness is emerging
that a program to be worthy of alumni support must be a program for which all col-
lege graduates can work. The development of this consciousness of kind is of lasting

4 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

importance and would be greatly stimulated if the objectives for which the alumni should
strive were more clearly defined.

One thing to which the alumni associations might devote more attention is the
movement for continuting education, otherwise known as adult education. This move-
ment is world-wide. Just now we are interested in it particularly as it applies to Amer-
ica. It is not confined to colleges and universities. We find that there are more
adults engaged in educational work in institutions not associated with colleges or universi-
ties than there are carrying on work within the colleges and universities.

We wonder sometimes why so many hundreds of thousands of citizens of this
country are engaged in continuing their education. Certainly many factors must con-
tribute to it. One is the desire to keep the road to promotion open. Another perhaps is
the desire simply to learn more about more things, to become broader-minded and more
liberally educated generally. I suspect that there are some forces responsible for this
that we are not fully conscious of, whose meaning we do not fully comprehend or under-
stand. I am frank to say that I do not know just what these forces are, but I do have
an opinion as to one of them.

The college graduate of a comparatively few years ago was trained for one of the
professions. Now we find that thousands upon thousands of college graduates are going
out with the expectation of entering business or industry in some form. They do not
find that it is possible for them to set up their own independent business. They find,
en the other hand, that it is necessary for them to secure employment in one of the great
corporations, mercantile or manufacturing establishments, where they are expected to
spend long years as apprentices at very modest salaries. Thousands upon thousands of
the youths of today are entering upon these long-term industrial apprenticeships. The
inevitable outcome of this process is the development of a clerical mind and a docility
of spirit so far as industry is concerned. When men cannot build a business for them-
selves but must on the contrary be salaried employees during most of their lives, the
meaning is clear, we are in the process of developing a new social order.

The changes I have described do not apply to business alone. They have invaded all
of the professional fields. There are more doctors working on a salary today than ever
before; great corporations of lawyers have been created, employing many young lawyers;
large-scale farming with many tenants is being introduced; everywhere we look we find
this process going on. The manhood and womanhood of the nation by the tens and
hundreds of thousands, caught in this network of industry, are seeking an antidote
through the processes of education: they are looking for emancipation; they want to
keep the road to promotion open; they are more or less unconsciously trying to find
something that will furnish them with pleasant if not useful employment during their
leisure time; they want help. I should think that colleges and universities through their
alumni associations could assist in providing this help. The University of Michigan has
already attempted to do this and is to be commended, in my opinion, for the step it has
taken, insofar as that step is intended to provide actual help for the various groups of
college people in the field.

Alumni associations should not confine themselves to alumni alone. Why shouldn't
they aid the child guidance clinics in providing education for parents, for prospective
mothers, mothers of young infants? Why shouldn't they help spread knowledge of
health in order that human life may be lengthened and efficiency increased? Why
shouldn't they help with the spread of information that will aid in developing interest
in fine music, in art, and in other things that contribute to the better life and spirit of
their communities? Why shouldn't they help in every way which will promote human
betterment, extend human knowledge, increase human happiness? Alumni associations
should help spread the worthiest ideals of the institutions they represent; they should
stand for catholicity of spirit and of mind; they should be cosmopolitan in attitude;
they should be essentially educational in character; they should uphold the hands of
those who are fighting the battle to preserve the freedom of the institutions that grad-

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 5

uated them; they should insist upon a still higher and better type of education within
these institutions.

Alumni Associations of this country may become great agencies for the development
of democracy. Let them show to the world that the great experiment of American edu-
cation has succeeded and that the institutions which our sacrificial forefathers estab-
lished are being strengthened and expanded under their fostering care. Let them say
to the college authorities: "we are here to help, never to hinder; always to support, never
to limit." Let them say: "we hereby dedicate our learning, our trained minds, and
the ideals which our beneficial institutions sought to inculcate, to the making of better
colleges and universities, to the building of finer manhood and womanhood, and to the
liberalizing of the minds of men for the sympathetic consideration of the problems of
all mankind."

NOW ABOUT CLASS REUNIONS

The classes holding reunions this year were '93, '99, '00, '01, '18, '19, '20, and '27.

Since those first classes were so small (boasting sometimes as many as two or four
members!) The reunions of '93, '99, '00, and '01 were decidedly slim affairs so far as
numbers were concerned. But when percentages were figured up, they weren't so bad.
'93, for instance, the first class to be graduated from Agnes Scott, has only two members,
and they had a fifty per cent attendance at commencement! Mary (Mack) Ardrey came
from Fort Mill, S. C, and alone and single-handed rolled up that enormous per cent!

Two of '99's ten members returned, giving them twenty per cent. Two of '00's
seven members gave that class twenty-eight per cent. There are only two members of
'01, and neither of them could be present, so they went down in ignoble defeat before
'93's brave fifty per cent.

But by the time '18 was graduated, Agnes Scott was a college, and the graduating
class had reached the enormous (as it seemed to us then) proportions of thirty Seniors.
Eight of these graduates and three non-graduates returned for their reunion this year,
giving them a twenty-seven per cent score.

Of '19's thirty-eight graduates, seven answered present when the class roll was
called at the May, 192 8, reunion, and six loyal non-graduates attended the class reunion
luncheon on Monday. '19's per cent amounted to eighteen.

Twelve graduates and two non-graduates of '20 gave that class of forty-one grad-
uates a per cent of twenty-nine.

The appalling numbers of '27 made the other reunion classes gasp!

"There once was a class named two-seven,
The finest we know under heaven,

When asked to arise

And display their great size
They did. They had back forty-'leven!"

I mean they actually did! '27's very efficient secretary, Marcia Green, and her sub-
secretaries covered the face of the earth with reunion letters during April and May, with
the result that fifty-two out of a hundred and three graduates returned for their first
class reunion. At first the count gave only fifty-one, making not quite fifty per cent,
and so giving the reunion loving-cup to Mary (Mack) Ardrey, of '93, with her fifty per
cent, but later it was discovered that another '27-er had returned to the campus, bring-
ing the '27 per cent just over fifty, and giving the coveted loving-cup to them. Vir-
ginia Sevier came back to '27's reunion, but the day she arrived on the campus she had
to go to the infirmary with the flu. "But I most certainly came back to reunion," she
declared from her infirmary cot, "all the way from North Carolina, and I'm most

6 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

certainly spending every minute of the commencement week-end right here on the cam-
pus, too. Don't you dare not count me in the '27 bunch, especially if it will give us
that cup."

So '27, the youngest reunion class of them all, won the attendance cup! Besides
the fifty-two graduates, Mary Bulloch Smith and Nancy Lou (Knight) Narmore, non-
graduate members of that class, were present at the reunion luncheon on Monday.

Classes holding reunions next year are
'03, '04, '05, '21, '22, '23, '24.

WE CAME BACK FOR COMMENCEMENT!

The first thing that alumnae do on returning to Agnes Scott is to breeze in the
alumnae office and demand, "Who else is back?" And the first thing that those who
could not come to commencement want to ask is "Tell me who came!"

And so although long lists of people are as a rule extremely boring, we think that
the list which follows will be interesting to a number of people.

mencement week include:

THE ALUMNAE BABY PARTY

On gay children's notepaper, the invitations sent out by the Decatur alumnae club
to Agnes Scott alumnae-mothers, read as follows:

"The children of Agnes Scott alumnae are invited to a Benefit Baby Party at
3 o'clock on Friday afternoon, May 2 5, on the lawn of the Anna Young Alumnae
House on the college campus. Games favors refreshments ponies to ride! Admis-
sion, twenty-five cents. Benefit Decatur Alumnae club."

After a week of deluging rain, the weather-man gave us a perfect afternoon for the
party, with a perfect morning preceding to dry off the grass, for alumnae babies have
a habit of tumbling over at unexpected and frequent intervals, and even the staunchest
pair of legs may suddenly give way at moments of stress and excitement when one's
red balloon pops, for example, or when a little spotted terrier runs between one's legs
at breakneck speed.

Decatur alumnae were on hand early in the afternoon, arranging the big chairs
from Inman porch out on the lawn for alumnae mothers and grandmothers and
nurses, and endangering their lungs by blowing up an apparently endless number of
brightly colored balloons. A big freezer of ice cream was on hand, and three beautiful
little ponies for the children to ride. Nell Scott Earthman, daughter of Eliza (Candler)
Earthman, and Elizabeth Scott, daughter of Marie (Maclntyre) Scott each had brought
their ponies, and a neighbor of Julia Pratt (Smith) Slack's had loaned the third pony
for the afternoon.

Shortly after three o'clock the alumnae mammas and babies and grandmammas
and nurses began to pour in! The ponies were the piece de resistance of the afternoon,
naturally. Even the tiniest baby of all, Margery Jane McAulay (daughter of Margery
Moore McAulay), clung fearlessly on while Nell Scott led the pony up and down behind
lnman. Ruth and Jean Slack cantered and gallopped and did all sorts of stunts. They
were certainly a bunch of happy children, but perhaps the happiest of all were Elizabeth
(Gammon) Davis' three from Brazil. This is their first visit to America, and they had
never been to an American children's party, nor ridden on a pony before, and their
beatific smiles as they rode past were lovely to see.

We are glad that this annual gathering of Agnes Scott babies has been changed from
a "baby show" to a "baby party," for not only would awarding prizes for the loveliest
babies have been a dangerous thing to do, but an impossible one as well.

The children who attended the party this year are Pruden Fagan, Alice Lyons,
Frances Moore, Ruth, Jean and Julia Slack, Margery Jane and William McAulay, of
Greenville, S. C.; Gene and Donald LeVert, Willee Gammon, Margaret and Samuel Davis
of Brazil, Rebekah and Elizabeth Scott of Scottdale, Ga.; Nell Scott Earthman, Louise
Sams, Anne Bryan, Betty Pope, and Nellie Louise Scott, Betty Park, Polly Council, of
Tampa, Fla.; Anne Robinson, Ellen and Anne Hayes, Sammy and John West Thatcher,
Florrie Margaret, Candler and Sam Guy, Bartow Bloodworth, Louise (Brown) Hastings'
lovely little daughter from Lovejoy, Ga., and Helen (Faw) Mull's two young sons from
Cleveland, Ohio.

next two years were elected at the annual meeting of the Association at 11:30 Satur-
day morning, May 26, in the college chapel.

They are as follows:

Prsident Hilda (McConnell) Adams, '23, Columbus, Ga.

First Vice-President Marian (McCamy) Sims, '20, Dalton, Ga.

Second Vice-President Theodosia (Willingham) Anderson, '11, Atlanta, Ga.

Secretary Martha Crowe, '27, Atlanta, Ga.

Treasurer Mary Palmer (Caldwell) McFarland, '2 5, Atlanta, Ga.

Chairmen of standing committees:

Publicity Mary Wallace Kirk, '11, Tuscumbia, Ala.

Preparatory Schools Mary Lloyd Davis, '27, LaGrange, Ga.

Curriculum Katherine Seay, 18, Nashville, Tenn.

House and Tea-Room Frances (Gilliland) Stukes, '24, Decatur, Ga.

Local Clubs Mary Knight, '22, Atlanta, Ga.

Vocational Guidance Quenelle Harrold, '23, Americus, Ga.

Beautifying Grounds and Buildings Louise (Brown) Hastings, '23, Lovejoy, Ga.

Entertainment Lois (Maclntyre) Beall, '20, Atlanta, Ga.

Class Organizations and Records Elizabeth Hoke, '23, Lincolnton, N. C.

Alumnae Aid League Ethel (Alexander) Gaines, '00, Atlanta, Ga.

Ballots were sent out to all absent members of the Association a good while before
the election, and a number of them availed themselves of the privilege of mailing in their
votes. The tellers were quite pleased with the response that these ballots occasioned, for
we are anxious to have every member of the Association help choose the officers.

It was quite unintentional that approximately all of the nominees were taken
either from the very early classes, or from the very new ones a fact that called forth
from a member of one of the betwixt and between classes the following jingle:

"The vote I send's not worth a cent
Because it ain't intelli-gent
These babies left before I come
Or anyhow I know that some
Got there when I had went."

Changing the time of the annual meeting from the afternoon to the morning of
the trustees' luncheon has proved a splendid thing in giving us time to linger at the
luncheon and spend the remainder of the afternoon in joyous idleness rather than in dis-
cussing the serious problems of the Association.

THE HOASC REUNION

An interesting and very enjoyable innovation at commencement this year was the
Hoasc reunion. The 1928 and 1929 members of Hoasc originated the idea and acted as
hostesses. The stated purpose of the reunion was to review the accomplishments of
Hoasc in the past and to consider ways and means of enlarging its field of usefulness
in the future; and incidentally it served as a very pleasant medium by which a great
many of the Alumnae who were back for commencement could get to know some of
the representative Juniors and Seniors.

In every way the plan was a great success. In a business way both the alumnae and
student members pledged their whole-hearted support in the forthcoming drive for
Gaines' Memorial Chapel and in the movement for the Cleo Hearon Memorial Fund, and
discussed ways by which members of Hoasc could continue to serve their Alma Mater
after their graduation as well as in their student days. Socially, it was certainly a great

10 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

success, for it not only helped the students and alumnae to become better acquainted, but
it also kept a great many alumnae from having that "left-out" feeling that so many are
too apt to have on coming back after several years' absence.

The program for the reunion was as follows:

Friday, May 2 5 Luncheon at the Hotel Candler. The Board of Trustees were
also guests at this luncheon.

Friday, May 25 Informal business meeting immediately after luncheon. Talks
by members of former classes.

Saturday, May 26 Formal business meeting, 3:30-4:30 P. M.

Saturday, May 26 1928 and 1929 Hoasc members hostesses at tea for alumnae
members. 5:00-6:00 P. M. Anna Young Alumnae House.

The alumnae members of Hoasc who were back for the reunion were:

Ruth (Anderson) O'Neal

Louisa Duls.

Emily Spivey.

Regina Pinkston.

Hallie (Alexander) Turner.

Ruby Lee (Estes) Ware

Lulu (Smith) Westcott.

Marion (McCamy) Sims.

Louise Slack.

Lois (Maclntyre) Beall

Quenelle Harrold.

Martha Lin Manly.

Hilda (McConnell) Adams.

Lucile (Little) Morgan.

Dorothy Keith.

Maurine Bledsoe.

Elizabeth Cheatham.

Rachel Henderlite.

Josephine Bridgman.

Helen Lewis.

Elizabeth Lynn.

Carolina McCall.

Elizabeth (Norfleet) Miller.

Roberta Winter.

Janef Preston.

Margaret Bland.

Leone (Bowers) Hamilton.

Ethel Ware.

Hoasc certainly owes the members of 1928 and 1929 a vote of thanks for starting
this splendid idea of a reunion. So thoroughly helpful and enjoyable was it, that those
attending the reunion voted to make it an annual affair of the commencement season.
Special thanks are due Georgia Watson and Nell Hillhouse, President and Secretary, 1928,
to whose enthusiasm and untiring efforts is not a little due the success of the first reunion
of Hoasc.

The student members of the organization this year were: Jack Anderson, Janet
MacDonald, Mary Perkinson, Bayliss McShane, Georgia Watson, Miriam Anderson,
Virginia Carrier, Mary Ray Dobyns, Carolyn Essig, Elizabeth Grier, Mary Bell Mc-
Conkey, Margaret Rice, Mary Riviere, Eleanore Morgan, Marion Green, Ruth Worth,
Charlotte Hunter, Augusta Roberts and Nell Hillhouse.

CLEO HEARON MEMORIAL FUND

In deciding on a memorial for Miss Cleo Hearon, for ten years professor of history
at Agnes Scott, nothing more fitting has been found than a fund made up by the stu-
dents, alumnae and faculty who were associated with her and appreciated the ideals for
which she stood this fund to be used as an endowment for the Agnes Scott Library.

Miss Hearon left her own books to our college library, and this fund which is at
present being raised will be very valuable in providing a permanent income for the pur-
chase of something extraordinary each year unusual books, first editions, manuscripts,
etc.

Many former students who so loved and esteemed Miss Hearon will be truly glad
to contribute to such a memorial, and many other alumnae who did not know Miss
Hearon personally will want a part in helping their Alma Mater in this way. The reports
made on the progress of this fund by those in charge are favorable in some respects, but
there are many who have not responded yet. These need only the realization that a fund
used in this way will be of great benefit to the college, and will also be an appropriate
memorial to one who gave her life toward helping others in the pursuit of knowledge.

Subscriptions may be sent to Carrie Scandrett, secretary to the dean, Agnes Scott.

1918 OUR TENTH!

Having lived through the years between 1914-1918, class '18 was accustomed to
diminishing ranks, and so her enthusiasm was not a bit daunted when only six of her
number gathered for luncheon in the Silhouette tea room Monday, May the twenty-
eighth. Her number was few and her age great this time, but she soon joined in the
fun and merry-making with such zest as to surprise completely the witty young class
of '27. Being called upon by said class for a song, the following was quickly
composed:

"We were born ten thousand years ago,
Ain't nothing ever happened we don't know,

We knitted and we saved,

For the dough-boys we slaved
And we're all Phi Beta Kappas, as you know.

"We wrote all the songs you young folks sing,
We ain't forgot a word of anything,

With the fight we did away

Put the Black Cat in to stay
And we founded Founder's Day, another thing." .

Then after class '27 had repeatedly sung and otherwise manifested pep and brilliance,
old '18 rose and sang very impressively to the tune of "the old gray mare":

"Class '18 she ain't what she used to be
Ten long years ago.

"Class '27, you won't be what you are today
Ten long years from now."

12 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

Thus the fun continued and we "could not but be gay in such a jocund company!"
The three-course luncheon was delicious and the place-cards lovely, but both gave an
air to the festive occasion which was utterly foreign to the days of yore when Miss Phi
so faithfully collected the butter and we had desertless Sundays for the sake of the boys
at the front. Never the less we tried to appear as though we, too, were accustomed to
such grandeur and whether we succeeded or not in this, we do know that no other class
joined in the Alma Mater with more love and loyalty. Those present were: Julia
(Abott) Neely, Hallie (Alexander) Turner, Ruth (Anderson) O'Neal, Belle Cooper,
Caroline Randolph, and Evamaie (Willingham) Park.

By putting our heads together and all talking at once, we managed to collect the
following information about the members of '18:

Julia (Abbott) Neely is living in Waynesboro, Ga., where her husband is a most
successful farmer, thanks to the aid of Julia's scientific knowledge.

Hallie (Alexander) Turner came up for the Alumnae luncheon planning to stay
through commencement, but her husband couldn't stand to be left so long, so he came
for her before the class reunion Monday

Ruth (Anderson) O'Neal now has a little son almost two years old Alan
O'Neal, Jr.

Ruby Lee (Estes) Ware is living in Tuscumbia, Ala. She has three children.

Class '18 regretted very much that neither its president, Emma (Jones) Smith,
nor its secretary, Margaret Leyburn, could come back for reunion. Emma could not
tear herself away from her fond husband, it was reported, and Margaret, who holds a
responsible position with Sears, Roebuck and Company, was just recovering from an
operation for appendicitis.

Olive (Hardwick) Cross has moved to Maynard, Mass., where she and her preacher-
husband are living in St. George's Episcopal rectory.

Helen (Hood) Coleman's first son was born in April 4. He has been named
Robert Emerson, and Helen writes that he is "such a precious little man that even
missing seeing my many old friends at dear old Agnes Scott is bearable. Jessie Joy, a
future Agnes Scotter, is four years old, and a great help to me. As soon as we are able
to travel we shall start for Kentucky to spend the summer with Mr. Coleman's people.
He is a cotton broker in this, the largest inland cotton center in the world. Give my
love to all the girls. Wish I could be there to absorb inspiration and good fellowship."

Dorothy Moore was married on December 3 1 of last year to Mr. Boyd Horton
at the Lancaster Presbyterian Church, Lancaster, S. C.

Fan (Oliver) Pitman has moved to Thomas ville, Ga., where her husband is at the
head of the X-ray department of a large hospital. Little Fan helped in the always
strenuous work of moving by coming down with measles right in the midst of it all!

Porter Pope wrote from Mobile: "How I wish I could come for commencement, but
Eve been globe-trotting so much this year, and am leaving again on the 30th for nine
weeks in Europe, so I'll have to stick around here until then. Going back to commence-
ment is something that is in my mind every spring, and I envy those who are situated
so that they can enjoy it's reunions."

Caroline Randolph is most enthusiastic in her accounts of her work in child health
demonstration in Murfreesboro, Tenn.

Eva Mai (Willingham) Park reports that she is a business lady in the city of At-
lanta. Her little daughter, Betty, has such perfect manners that we believe Eva Mai has
proved that one can be a business lady and a competent mother too.

Lorine Pruette has sent a lovely picture of herself for the class scrap-book and a
few jots about her life since leaving Agnes Scott. "Married Douglas Fryer, 1920. Ph.D.
Columbia, 1924. Published 'Women and Leisure' (Dutton), 1924; 'G. Stanley Hall'
(Appleton), 1926, and 'Saint in Ivory' (Appleton), a novel, 1927. Taught Smith
College, University of Utah, Peabody, University of Virginia, New York University
never allowed to return to any. Lectured various places on various subjects, including

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 13

advice to parents. Now at work on several important tomes, none of which show the
slightest prospects of ever being finished, the most delectable being a story of Sappho,
the young lady who put Lesbos on the map 2500 years ago and still keeps it there."
Lorine's address is 8 8 Morningside Dr., Apt. 3-E, New York City.

CLASS OF '19

The Dix System of reunions is great! Just think of not only seeing again your own
classmates but those friends in other classes that were in college at the same time you
were! Perhaps, if the class of '19 had realized how many of the old girls whom they
knew and loved were to be back at dear A. S. C. more of them would have managed
somehow to have come back. The silver loving cup awarded each year to the class with
the largest percentage back was not awarded to '19 since we had only 7 out of 38 (18%)
back. We judge that since 22 out of the 3 8 are married that most of them were a-t home
learning "to be good grandmothers," as Dr. W. T. Ellis, who gave the commencement
address, would have said. According to the latest statistics, 5 of the 3 8 are teaching, 3
are in business, one in a profession, one in religious work, 2 in physical education work,
the occupation of 4 is unknown, and the other 22 are married.

Those of '19 who were back for reunion felt in number, at least, very much like
'18 who sang with much pep "Class '18 she ain't what she used to be ten long years
ago." We also felt that one trouble with '19 was that we were in college during the
war years and that in our patriotic zeal we gave up our annual and class ring and most
everything else. We were thinking so much about winning the war and "making the
world safe for democracy" that we failed to organize our class properly to "carry on"
after college. However, we had a very enthusiastic business meeting with Llewellyn, our
life president, presiding, in which we discussed plans to rally our class together so that
next class reunion in 1933 would find many more of us back on the campus.

Class of '19, keep the date in mind: 1933 and don't be afraid to come back for
fear the old haunts and people may prove disappointing. Why, those of us who were
back were so pleased with ourselves and felt that we hadn't changed a particle unless it
was for the better! We decided the present fashions in dress and hair cuts improved our
looks and that instead of looking older we really looked much younger. We were so
delighted that we had maintained our girlish figures and "that school girl complexion"
to such an extent that we were able to mingle with the student body without being
stared at as some "antique" that we spent most of the time flattering ourselves. One
member said to another, "Why, you even talk just the same." Another bright member of
'19 said, "Well, don't you know your voice doesn't usually change after you are 21."
We found that everything looked practically the same. There was the same old register
book and telephone pad and same old Ella to answer the doorbell an' everything. Of
course, there was the lovely Alumnae House and new gym and soon we hope to see rising
up on the campus, where his house now stands, the Memorial Chapel to Dr. Gaines.

Moreover,' every old girl can always be sure of a hearty welcome from Miss Hopkins,
Dr. McCain and all the faculty members who taught her in school. It is most flattering
to be remembered by them so readily after 9 years!

Class of '19, remember 1933 and let's plan to go back and prove that '19 loves her
Alma Mater just as much as any other class before or since! Those back this year were:
Louise (Felker) Mizell, "Pete" Hutchison, Mary Brock Mallard, Elizabeth (Pruden)
Fagan, Lulu (Smith) Westcott, Llewellyn Wilburn, Trueheart Nicolassen. The "ex"
members were: Elizabeth (Dimmock) Blood worth, Hattie Mae (Finney) Glenn, Ruth
(Lambdin) Schaeffer, Annie (Silverman) Levy, Elizabeth Lawrence.

We talked about all the class members and regretted we had not kept in closer touch
with each other. About all the facts we could gather concerning the various members
of the class of '19 were:

14 The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

Jane Bernhardt is teaching at University of California in Los Angeles. She spent
last summer at Columbia Working toward her Ph.D.

Minnie Clare Boyd is teaching history at State Normal School in Jacksonville, Ala.

Minnie Clare has her M.A. and plans to work on her Ph.D. next year.

Blanche Copeland is Mrs. H. H. Gifford, Cortlandt Hotel, Louisville, Ky.

Lucy Durr, Montgomery, Ala. Last we heard of Lucy she was interested in helping
to organize a Little Theater Guild in Montgomery.

Claire Elliott Mrs. Robert W. McKay of Baltimore. "Bob" is at John Hopkins.

Lois Eve is teaching.

Shirley Fairly is Mrs. L. F. Hendrick of Jackson, Miss. We imagine Shirley is in
politics since we hear her husband is running for the legislature.

Louise (Felker) Mizell lives in a most attractive home on Rock Springs Road, At-
lanta. * Louise has two children: Margaret, age 3, and Robert, age 1. "Bob" is in the
real estate business.

Mary (Ford) Kennerly sent regrets that she could not be present for the class re-
union as she was busy taking part in the commencement exercises of the State College
for Women in Alabama, where her husband is a professor.

Frances (Glasgow) Patterson has two sons, Houston Patterson, Jr., born in 1924 in
China and Robert Glasgow, born in 1927 in Japan.

Katherine Goodbee, Vidalia, Georgia.

Bess (Ham) Harmon is at home in Mississippi while her husband is studying at
University of Chicago. She has two children, Nancy Eugene, 3, and Thomas Leonhardt,
age 2.

Mary Brock Mallard is assistant advertising manager of Davison-Paxon's lovely new
store.

Louise Marshburn is Mrs. H. W. Riley, of Miami, Fla.

Virginia Newton is teaching in Alabama College at Montevallo. She sent regrets
that she could not be present for '19's reunion.

Trueheart Nicolassen is with D. C. Heath & Company, school book publishers. She
is a business rival of "Pete" Hutchison.

Alice Norman, of West Point, Ga. Last address was Longdale Mill, Longdale, Ala.

Mary Katherine Parks Dallas, Texas, doing therapeutic work at the Scottish Rite
Hospital there. She goes to Camp Nakanawa every summer where she is supervisor of
land sports.

Goldie Ham or rather "G. Suttle Ham, M.D.," disappointed us all because she didn't
come back to commencement. Members of '19 are so proud of having a member of their
class a surgeon that we are almost willing to have an operation to let Goldie demonstrate
her skill.

Anna Harrell Mrs. M. Earnett Ballard, Birmingham, Ala.

Almeda Hutcheson is with Allyn & Bacon, school book publishers. "Pete" says
she can't get away from school books.

Julia Ingram Mrs. L. B. Hazzard, Brooklyn, New York.

Margaret Leech Mrs. Wm. Collier Cook, Dickson, Tenn. William Collier, Jr.,
was born July 17th, 1927.

Elizabeth (Pruden) Fagan is Mrs. Joe Fagan, of Atlanta. Her husband is manager
of the Visible System Remington Rand. "Pruden" Fagan, age 1 year, is going to be
a prize fighter judging from his size. He is a perfect speciman of babyhood, and no
wonder, for "Yittle" gives him all her time.

Ethel Rea Last word from Ethel was that she was teaching English in Charlotte
High School, Charlotte, North Carolina, and sending all her best pupils to A. S. C.

Elizabeth Richardson (Mrs. John A. Callaway), Rayle, Ga.

"Peanut" Rowe (Jones) is Mrs. Carrington Jones, of Memphis, Tenn. "Little

Julia Lake Skinner's new address is 410 Urban Bldg., Louisville, Ky. Her new work
is traveling for the Southern Presbyterian Church in religious educational work among
the schools, colleges and state universities of the South. Her title is Extension Secretary
of the Department of Christian Education. She will spend the summer attending
young people's conferences in Texas, Kentucky, North Carolina and Tennessee. Julia
Lake wrote how much she regretted not being present for commencement.

Frances Sledd (Blake) is living in Jacksonville, Fla. Her new baby daughter, born
last November, was announced in a previous issue of the Quarterly.

Lulu Smith (Westcott) was back at reunion and discovered that she became famous
at Agnes Scott due to her marriage in the chapel two hours after graduation. She and
her husband were back to celebrate their ninth anniversary. They are still living in
Dalton where her husband is president of the Westcott Hosiery Mills, which manufac-
tures "Westcott Mode-Modeled" hosiery.

Dorothy Thigpen (Shea) wrote in November, 1926, from Milwaukee that keeping
house and looking after Charles Thigpen and Elizabeth Shea occupied all her time. We
hope she'll take time to write us more recent news of herself and family.

Frances Thomas' name is listed in the A. S. C. directory address unknown. If
anyone knows her address please send it in.

Ora Mell Tribble is Mrs. J. S. Fleming, Warsaw, N. C. Her husband is a professor.
Lulu Smith Westcott saw her at Wrights ville Beach summer of '26. .

Elizabeth Watkins (Hulen) is married and living in Jackson, Miss., where her hus-
band is a realtor. She has a daughter almost seven.

Marguerite Watts is Mrs. F. S. Cooper, of Rome, Ga. We had only a glimpse
of Marguerite Monday night at commencement. We were sorry she was not present at
'19's reunion luncheon.

Llewellyn Wilburn is now head of the physical education department at Agnes Scott
in that wonderful new gym. She has charge of the swimming department. Class '19
had a hard time grasping the idea of a swimming department and, girls! you have to
be able to swim the length of the pool to graduate! That wouldn't have been much of
a job in the old days. Llewellyn plans to spend the summer in Nashville playing golf,
"etcetra and so forth."

Agnes Wiley is Mrs. Alfred Marshall, of Garnett, South Carolina. Agnes has a
daughter.

Elizabeth Witherspoon is Mrs. Jim Patterson, of Staunton, Va.

Class '19 was so glad to have the following ex members back for the class reunion:

Elizabeth (Dimmock) Bloodworth is living in Atlanta, where her husband is prac-
ticing law. "Dimmock" has a darling son, James Morgan Bartow Bloodworth, Jr., age
3, who insists he is going to be a fireman, despite parental dreams of his following in
his daddy's footsteps.

Hattie Mae (Finney) Glenn also lives in Atlanta. Her husband is with General
Motors. Betty, age 3, according to Finney has a nose just like her's but has blue eyes.

Ruth (Lambdin) Schaeffer lives in Griffin, Ga. Her husband sells life insurance.

Annie (Silverman) Levy must keep busy since she has two children, a boy, 8, and a
girl, 4, and does lots of club work besides. Annie is interested in the Zionist movement
and is head of the locap chapter of Hadassah. She plans to attend the national conven-
tion in Pittsburgh.

Elizabeth Lawrence deserted the class in 1918 when she received her certificate in
music. She has been teaching music in Anderson College, Anderson, S. C.

A letter from Margaret Fain from Dandridge, Tenn., expressed regrets that she could
not be back for the reunion.

1920 EIGHT YEARS OUT!

We are heartily in favor of this new system of reunions! Why, finding the '18 and
'19 girls back at Agnes Scott, our big sister class, and our once sworn enemies was
better than anything we could have imagined unless it was finding the members of
dear old '20!

Who came back? "We did," cry Margaret Bland, Alice Cooper, Jule Hagood, Lulie
Harris, Elizabeth Lovett, Lois Maclntyre, Marion McCamy, Gertrude Manly, Elizabeth
Marsh, Margery Moore, Crip Slack and Rosalind Wurm.

Margaret Bland, despite the acquisition of a new degree and quite a bit of fame as
a playwright with a Broadway performance to her credit, is just the same earnest sweet
thing with her smooth black hair parted in the middle the way she has always fixed
it. Alice Cooper and Elizabeth Lovett are our business women Alice uses that ingenuity
of hers which was manifest in B. O. Z. stories to write ads, and Elizabeth is working
in a bank, where we hope she is learning the combination to the safe, so that
she can embezzle a big sum for the Chapel fund. Jule and Lulie, Lois, Gertrude,
Margery, and Rosalind put eager heads together and swapped recipes, and discussed
smocking and house-cleaning and ripe bananas for children, and the thousand other
things that sound like so much hokus-pokus to the uninitiated. Lulie is really the
authority on such matters, and others, with only one (Margery Moore does have two!)
babies apiece defer very humbly to Lulie, mother of three! Elizabeth Marsh proved
that school teachers are not the prim things people think, for she tripped gayly out to
class reunion in red shoes! Crip Slack is as irrepressible as ever, though she has gone
up in the editorial world, and now has two secretaries of her very own. Marion Mc-
Camy deserted ad-writing for matrimony this spring, and at commencement claimed
the title of our newest newly-wed. Rosalind and Margery were not content to tell
about their babies, but brought them out in person to the alumnae baby party on Fri-
day of commencement week. And Margery laid her young son on the bed upstairs in
the '20 room, and walked calmly out and left him all by himself all afternoon. And
he gurgled and laughed and slept awhile and stayed awake awhile and amused himself
beautifully without a single whimper the whole time! Alumnae mothers writing to
Margery for the secret of her success, will please enclose a stamped envelope.

Several new addresses of members of '20 were unearthed at the reunion. Louise
Abney has been teaching in the Birmingham, Ala., High School. Pauline Van Pelt
(Mrs. B. W. Claunch) has moved to 143 Ostrom Dr., San Antonio, Texas. She has a
young son, Robert Worth Claunch, born January 22, 192 8. "And that explains why
I wasn't at reunion," says Pauline.

1927 OUR FIRST REUNION!

The class of '27 came back forty-eight strong for its first reunion, and the only
unpleasant feature was the absence of the other fifty-five of us. We had time to enjoy
the pleasures of a collegiate existence without having to work to find a spare minute.
We drank some of that good Senior Coffee once more, though it was really Miss Hopkins
and Faculty and Family and Alumnae coffee, too, but it tasted quite as good. And it was
our especial good fortune to get to drink out of the Alumnae cup for having the most
back at the Reunion Luncheon. Incidentally we attended the Alumnae meeting (instead
of tiptoeing across the Colonade as in former years) and in addition to voting on im-
pressive looking ballots for the new officers, we heard Polly make a speech, so we assure
Mrs. Guy we greatly enjoyed our first Alumnae meeting.

We must confess that an added maturity was apparent in our conversation at the
reunion luncheon. We admired newly acquired engagement rings, we heard about the
world's most perfect bungalow, now under construction, we saw several real live husbands
and we were petitioned to surrender any recipes we knew. Others of our number

have been engaged in that struggle of uplifting (?) the youth of America. Still others
were so busy in the pursuit of further knowledge that they weren't there at all, but we
had messages read to us from several who now have another degree. The class of '18
insists that we will be vastly different "ten long years from now," so if you want to
watch the process of our change, remember that the way to Alumnae happiness is the
Alumnae Quarterly. Don't forget to join up again in September, and send your
news and your dues to Polly at the same time. Our first reunion was a great success,
let's keep in touch and make the next one bigger and better!

ON THE CAMPUS

The Blackfriars and the entire campus
are very proud of the excellent showing
made by the members of the club who
entered the Little Theatre Tournament in
New York in May. The play selected for
presentation was "Pink and Patches,"
written by Margaret Bland, '20, in Miss
Nan Stephens' play-writing course on the
campus. Miss Gooch directed the perform-
ance and chaperoned the cast to New York.
Those taking part in the play were Louisa
Duls, '26, Charlotte, N. C; Elizabeth Mc-
Callie, '27, Atlanta, Ga.; Sarah Carter, '29,
Decatur, Ga., and Frances Freeborn, '27,
Decatur, Ga. Little Theatre groups from
all parts of the country entered the con-
test, and one troup came over from Scot-
land. The Blackfriars and the Savannah,
Ga., Town Theatre, using a play written
by Frances Hargis, an Agnes Scott senior,
were both selected as finalists, and these
two plays won the two prizes offered by
Samuel French Company for the two best
unpublished plays presented. The Belasco
cup was awarded to the group from Scot-
land, starring in a Barrie play, "The Old
Lady Shows Her Medals." Although the
Blackfriars did not win the coveted cup,
we are quite proud of their excellent per-
formance and the recognition they re-
ceived.

A letter from a member of the class of
'22 in New York says: "New York alumnae
poured forth en masse to see Margaret
Bland's play at the Frolic Theatre, and
we had a thrilling evening of it. After
the performance we had a party in honor
of the 'actors' which lasted far into the
morning, when a few timid husbands
came to claim their collegiate wives."

PHI BETA KAPPA ELECTIONS

The alumnae who have been chosen to
membership in the Agnes Scott chapter of
Phi Beta Kappa are:

1. From the class of '07: Sarah (Boals)
Spinks, Winston-Salem, N. C.

Gaughey, St. Louis, Mo.; Emma Pope
(Moss) Dieckman, Decatur, Ga.; Mary
(Enzor) Bynum, Troy, Ala.

From the class of '28 the following girls
have been elected to membership:
Mary Perkinson.
Rosaltha Sanders.
Mary Shepherd.
Janet McDonald.
Leila Anderson.
Myrtle Bledsoe.
Evangeline Papageorge.
Frances Brown.
Elizabeth Grier.

Miss Lucile Alexander has been elected
president of the Agnes Scott chapter for
the coming year; Miss MacDougald, vice-
president; Miss Torrance, Secretary; Miss
Edler, treasurer; and Mr. Stukes, mem-
ber of the executive committee.

The alumnae scrapbooks, given by Mary
(West) Thatcher, '15, last year to each of
the alumnae classes have been brought
up to date by Blanche Berry, '27, who came
to commencement a week early, and was
generous enough to spend many hours of
that week pasting in the class books. They
were greatly enjoyed by returning alum-
nae. Please send kodak pictures and news-
paper clippings for these books!

THE ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION
REPORTS

The Board of Trustees held its annual
meeting on Friday morning, May 25, and
many important matters were discussed.
The outstanding action of the Board
meeting was the unanimous and enthusias-
tic passing of the motion to open a mil-
lion dollar campaign, the funds raised to be
used for the erection of certain very much
needed units of the college plan, as Ad-
ministration Building, Power Plant, Gaines
Memorial Chapel, for increase of Endow-
ment Fund, etc. The Alumnae Associa-
tion was asked to assume responsibility
for raising the funds necessary for the
building of the chapel.

After hearing the report of the far-
reaching and beneficial work of the Alum-
nae Association in the interest of the col-
lege, a very generous gift of $500.00 was
made by the Board to the Alumnae Asso-
ciation for extension purposes, on motion
of Mr. Scott Candler.

Student Loan Funds, purchase of more
acreage for the college and many other in-
teresting matters were discussed.

As your representative, I have been
chairman of the Health Committee of the
Board of Trustees and have enjoyed the
close contact I have had with Dr. Sweet
and her associates. I made at this meet-
ing the report of the physical educational
department which has made a most out-
standing record this year in its care of
the health of the college community.

The privilege of alumnae representation
on the Board of Trustees by the immediate
past president of the Association is full of
possibilities for good, keeping, as it does,
the alumnae in close touch with college
affairs and trustees aware of alumnae ac-
tivities. It has been a joy to serve in this
capacity for the past two years and I can
wish for Mrs. Guy no greater honor or
privilege than she has in entering upon her
term as trustee.

Respectfully submitted,
FANNIE G. (MAYSON) DONALDSON,

Alumnae Trustee.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON
CURRICULUM

The Committee on Curriculum was asked
to find out the attitude of the graduates
of the leading women's colleges toward
Honors, Euthenics, and other special
courses which have been recently added
to the curriculum in liberal arts colleges.

We wrote to the registrars at Vassar,
Wellesley, Barnard and Smith, asking for
the names of representative graduates who
had taken such courses. A questionnaire
was sent to these graduates.

We sent out 89 questionnaires, and re-
ceived 46 answers 16 from the Vassar
Institute of Euthenics, and 30 from Honors
courses at Smith, Barnard and Wellesley.

We were also asked to find out the at-
titude of graduates who had taken Home

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

19

Economics courses in liberal arts colleges.
That investigation was taken up later, and
only three colleges have sent us the lists
we requested. So far, we have not had
enough answers on this subject to tabulate
them.

The answers to the questionnaires on
Honors and Euthenics courses are tabu-
lated on sheets attached to this report.
Respectfully submitted,

Katherine L. Seay, Chairman;

Laura Stockton Molloy Dowling,

(This report, a splendid piece of work,
has been turned over to the college ad-
ministration. It is too long to publish in
full here, but any alumna who would like
a copy may secure one by writing to the
alumnae secretary. We regret exceedingly
that lack of space prevents our publishing
the entire report in this Quarterly.)

REPORT OF CLASS ORGANIZATIONS
AND RECORDS COMMITTEE

The system of reunions which we use at
Agnes Scott now, based on the Dix sys-
tem, is in its second year of trial. There
seems to be no doubt that we shall con-
tinue to use this system, as it has proven
extremely popular in bringing back to the
campus at the same time girls who were
in college together. This year the classes
of '93, '99, '00,. '01, '18, '19, '20 and '27 hold
reunions.

The adoption of this system of reunions
has brought a little added work to the class
secretaries, as the reunion year is not now
as easy to remember as it was in the old
days of the simple scheme of first year
out, third year out, fifth year out, and
every five years thereafter. The class
secretaries now must constantly keep in
touch with the class members and tell
them far ahead of time just when their
reunions will fall.

The silver loving cup, given each com-
mencement to the reunion class with the
largest percentage back, will be awarded
Monday at the class reunion luncheon in
the Alumnae House. This cup was won
by '26 last year, who very proudly had
their digits engraved on the side under
'25, and '10, who had won it the two
previous years.

The classes have been divided up into
small groups with captains at the head of
each group. These captains report to
the class secretaries, and in this way more
personal work is done among the class
members. Letters are written to inter-
ested non-graduates as well as graduates,
for if these non-graduates, or ex-members,
as we call them, are interested and loyal

to the college, we feel that they are just
as integral a part of the class organiza-
tion as the graduates.

The number of alumnae who have re-
turned to the campus for this commence-
ment is a witness to the work of the
class organizations and records commit-
tee.

Respectfully submitted,
ELIZABETH HOKE, Chairman.

REPORT OF ALUMNAE LOAN
LEAGUE

Due to a scarcity of funds the Loan
League was not able to make a loan
at the beginning of the school term and
since that time there has been no request
for a loan. The financial report stands
as follows:

Credit:

On hand September, 1927 $ 49.31

Interest January 1, 1928 2.16

Payments on loans 300.00

Gift of Mrs. G. L. (Laura M.

Tower) Yager 200.00

Total $551.47

Debit:
Exchange on checks $ 1.20

On hand May 26, 1928 $550.27

The Loan League has, during its history,
made loans to sixteen girls. Of these,
nine have entirely repaid their loan, three
are, at present, making regular payments,
and four have, as yet, made no payment.
Of the latter four, two are still in college,
one graduated in '27 and one is ex '29

We wish to express our deepest appre-
ciation to Mrs. Yager for her splendid
gift to the loan fund. It is our hope
that more of our Alumnae will remember
their younger "sisters" who may need
some financial aid to acquire their college
education here at Agnes Scott.
Respectfully submitted,
ELIZABETH LYNN, '27,

Treasurer.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON BEAUTI-
FYING GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS

The work of the Committee on Beautify-
ing Grounds and Buildings has been
seriously handicapped this year on account
of lack of funds. The College did not see
fit to make any special appropriation for
any new plantings. However, the shrub-
bery already on the place was worked
over and fertilized.

The Alumnae Association was not finan-
cially able to make its customary donation
to this Committee, so all other work
planned was of necessity postponed.

We were extremely fortunate, however,
in being remembered by one of our
Alumnae, Miss Marie Schley Brown, of
Michigan. She sent us (entirely at her
expense) a beautiful collection of spruce
and cedars from her State. These were
set out (by Wachendorff Bros.) in groups
about the Alumnae House. Most of these
are living and promise to do nicely. We
feel we can not overestimate the value
of such Alumnae as Miss Brown. If more
of us would remember our campus in a
similar way, we could accomplish great
things.

The committee made a donation of a
Japanese flowering cherry planted back
of the Alumnae House.

In closing this term of office we wish
to make a few suggestions which might
be helpful to the next Committee. It seems
to us that a College of this size should be
able to support a regular professional
gardener whose duty would be to look after
the shrubbery, lawns, hedges and flow-
ers.

We suggest that further plantings made
should be more of the varieties of bloom-
ing shrubs. Also, beds of tulips, hya-
cinths, daffodils, crocus, etc., might be
effectively used. Even a formal flower
garden (somewhere between the Alumnae
House and Inman Hall) with gravel
paths, trellises and a lily pond is not too
impossible a feature and would add a
great deal to the interest of the grounds.

REPORT OF HOUSE AND TEA ROOM
COMMITTEE

A report from the House Committee
must always begin with an expression
of appreciation to Miss Polly Stone,
whom we are increasingly glad to claim
as our hostess, and whose service is
so varied that it baffles classification. We
are also grateful to Miss Florine Brown,
our tea-room manager, and to Miss Carrie
Scandrett, who has had the difficult and
thankless task of keeping the tea-room
books.

As in the past, friends have continued to
remember us in a very substantial way
this year, and it is to the generosity of
Mrs. Samuel Young, Mrs. John J. Eagan,
and Mrs. Paul Brown, that we owe a love-
ly set of china for use in the private din-
ing-room.

The dream of the Atlanta club, which is
to have a really beautiful living room, con-
tinues to take shape, and we now have, in
addition to the rug and draperies pur-
chased last year, some period furniture,
consisting of sofa, table, and four very
handsome chairs. The old furniture has
been moved to the sewing-room upstairs,
which has greatly changed the appearance
of this room and has turned it into a favor-
ite "get together" spot. Miss Cleo Hearon
left us a screen for this room.

The Birmingham club came to the rescue
of the linen closet by giving a shower,
which has been a real boon to the house,
and has helped restock the supply of
towels, washcloths, tea napkins, etc. There
is always a crying need here.

We are also grateful to Miss Elizabeth
Jackson, a member of the History facul-
ty, for the addition of eight coffee cups
to the set of china in the private dining
room, and to a number of other individual
givers for donations of money and various
household articles.

The House continues to be a joy to re-
turning alumnae, and is in constant use.
The college guest room has claimed many
distinguished visitors this year, and Dr.
McCain has very generously agreed to do
some refurnishing and freshening up in
this room, which will make it more attrac-
tive to our guests.

We were very happy to have for a week
in this room Miss Ella Young, former
principal of Agnes Scott Academy, who
was given a warm welcome by her many

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

21

friends on the campus and in the city.

The annual birthday tea, given each
year in loving memory of Miss Anna
Young, stands out as one of the happy
events of the year, and particularly this
year when the guests were received by
Miss Anna's mother, Mrs. Samuel Young,
and her two sisters, Mrs. Paul Brown and
Mrs. John Eagan.

The retiring committee wishes to ex-
press the pleasure they have had in closer
contact with the Alumnae House. There
are a number of problems which have not
been completely solved, all of which they
pass on to the incoming committee, includ-
ing the following resolutions:

1. That the matter of improving the
college guest room be taken up with Dr.
McCain in the early fall.

2. That a new cash register be pur-
chased and provision made for more
strictly business-like handling of the tea-
room funds. Details of this recommenda-
tion will be handed to the incoming chair-
man.

REPORT OF ENTERTAINMENT
COMMITTEE

In November, the Anna Young Birthday
Party was celebrated at the Alumnae
House with a lovely tea. The House Com-
mittee had direct charge of this.

On April the eighteenth, the Alumnae
Association entertained the class of 1928
at a tea which they all thought beautiful.
We thought so too. Amount spent on this
party was $19.41.

The last thing the committee has had
charge of is the decoration for Trustee's
luncheon to the seniors and alumnae on

Saturday of commencement week. This is
not as easy as it sounds and has made
this report late and caused the absence of
the committee from the business meeting
We hope you like the flowers!

REPORT OF PREPARATORY SCHOOLS
COMMITTEE

The purpose of the committee this year
has been to concentrate attention on a com-
paratively small number of high schools in
the south, with the idea of making inten-
sive efforts to interest desirable girls in
Agnes Scott.

The cities selected for this effort were
Chattanooga, Little Rock, Richmond,
Birmingham, Jacksonville, Columbia, and
Charlotte.

It was suggested that, when practical,
a tea or reception be given to the high
school seniors for the purpose of the
alumnae's becoming acquainted with the
students and vice versa. This scheme was
either directly or indirectly carried out in
several places, but in others, it was con-
sidered impractical.

Some schools, through means of a mem-
ber of the committee, sent in names and
information regarding certain girls who
were thought to be good Agnes Scott ma-
terial. In general, the alumnae have been
interested and co-operative.

We believe there is invaluable good to be
accomplished by the Preparatory Schools
Committee, working in conjunction with
the college and the local clubs, but the best
method of carrying on the work, it ap-
pears to this committee, is the biggest
problem to be worked out by the future
chairman and her co-workers.

Respectfully submitted,
HILDA McCONNELL ADAMS,

Chairman.

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT

The outstanding results of the work of
the past two years not covered by commit-
tee reports are two-fold a closer con-
tact with the student body and the renewed
interest of many alumnae and locating of
"lost sisters."

The closer contact with the student
body has been made by the Association's
interest in work on the campus. We offer-
ed a poetry prize last year and a dramatic
prize this year. On our Alumnae Coun-
cil, the student members have been regu-
lar and interested attendants. These meet-
ings have been made delightful by the in-

22

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

teresting reports from Miss Hopkins as
well as those from the other members.

The annual tea for the Senior class has
become a purely social affair, well attended
and enthusiastically received. The alumnae
president met with the Senior class at a
later date to urge one hundred per cent
membership in the Alumnae Association.
This was pledged by all present. The class
of 1927 has one hundred and three mem-
bers, of whom one hundred have joined the
Association. It has become the regular
thing to do!

The Register has been a great source of
help to the Association. By sending a copy
to every person whose name was published,
and enclosing a list of "lost sisters," a very
lively interest has been aroused and many
"lost sisters" have not only been found,
but have joined the Association. We have
had fifty-five renewals of memberships
that had lapsed; seventy-seven new mem-
berships, not including the class of 1927.
Also we have had nine life memberships,
including one from the class of 1928. All
this happened just after raising the dues,
too!

Founder's Day Radio Program also
creates a great interest and brings many
groups of alumnae together. Several new
clubs have been established and all are
doing splendid work.

I wish to thank each member of the
executive committee for her loyal support
and hard work to them and to the effi-
cient and untiring work of our general
secretary the credit of the progress of the
Association is due, and my appreciation of
this work is very sincere. Also I wish to
thank Dr. McCain for his unfailing help
and advice and to express the hope that
the Alumnae will never disappoint him in
the great things that he expects of us.
Respectfully submitted,
ALLIE CANDLER GUY,

President.

REPORT OF PUBLICITY COMMITTEE

Besides the publication of a very com-
prehensive Alumnae Register in August,
1927 (copies of which have been mailed to
approximately thirty-five hundred alum-
nae), three regular Quarterlies have been
published this year in November, Janu-
ary and April. The fourth number will
appear in June.

In the April Quarterlies there was in-
closed a rotogravure section, giving pic-
tures of the college and student activities
this year.

MINUTES OF THE GENERAL MEET-
ING OF THE AGNES SCOTT ALUMNAE
ASSOCIATION MAY, 26, 1928
College Chapel.

The meeting was called to order by the
president, Mrs. Guy.

After the reading of the reports of the
President and the General Secretary the
Recording Secretary read the nominations
for new officers for the organization. Bal-
lots were collected throughout the meet-
ing.

There was a ratification of the motion
that the retiring President of the Alumnae
Association be a trustee of the college.

Mrs. H. McC. Adams moved that all the
reports of the committees be accepted at
the end of the reading. Seconded and car-
ried.

Reports were made from the following
standing committees: House and Tea
Room, Grounds, Entertaining, Publicity,
Preparatory Schools, Local Clubs, Aid
League, Class Organization, and Curricu-
lum.

Mrs. Wey moved that the report of the
Curriculum Committee be turned over to
the college. Seconded and carried.

Mrs. Thatcher moved that all the reports
be accepted as read. Seconded and car-
ried.

Mrs. Donaldson reported that the trus-
tees are planning a campaign for $1,000,-
000 for the college. The trustees have voted
a gift of $500 to the Alumnae Association.
Mrs. Donaldson, as chairman of the
Health Committee, stated that the health
of the college girls has been unusually
good.

The report of the Playwriting Class,
given by Miss Nan B. Stephens, was most
interesting. She stated that the class is
flourishing as it is because of the alumnae
interest. Next year the college is going
to provide for an advanced class with
credit. This year the class has taken three
prizes, one from the Savannah Town Thea-
ter to Frances Hargis, and two Samuel
French Prizes for the best unpublished
plays to Frances Hargis and Margaret
Bland. The two plays entered in the
Belasco Cup contest were selected to play
in the finals. The dearest prize that is
offered is that given by the Alumnae As-
sociation which will be presented on Mon-
day. Miss Stephens read a review of the
plays presented in New York which was
given by a New York theater paper. She
stated that much appreciation was due
Miss F. K. Gooch for the success of these
plays.

A rising vote of thanks was given to
Miss Stephens.

The report of the Financial Committee
was read and Mrs. Dieckmann moved that
it be accepted. Seconded and carried.

The secretary read the recommenda-
tions of the Executive Committee.

1. That a Constitutional Committee be
appointed by the new Executive Commit-
tee.

2. That a Secretary's book be purchas-
ed.

3. That a campaign be launched by the
Alumnae to raise $125,000 to erect a Me-
morial Chapel to Dr. Gaines on the site of
his home.

These recommendations were discussed
separately. Mrs. Guy explained the need of
a revision in the Constitution. She told of
the splendid work which Mrs. Thatcher had
already done in this field. Mrs. Donaldson
moved that the new executive appoint this
special committee. Seconded and carried.

It was also moved and carried that a
book be bought for the Secretary's rec-
ords.

The last recommendation was discussed
at large. Quenelle Harrell and several
others spoke of the great need of a chapel
and of the privilege of the Alumnae to
erect this building in memory of Dr.
Gaines. Mrs. Guy read extracts from sev-
eral alumnae heartily recommending this
undertaking. Mrs. Donaldson moved that
we accept the third recommendation. Sec-
onded and carried.

Mrs. Guy expressed her appreciation of
the splendid co-operation of the Associa-
tion. A rising vote of thanks was given
to Mrs. Guy for her excellent work.

The newly-elected officers were an-
nounced.

Adjournment.

Respectfully submitted,
ELIZABETH LYNN, Acting Secretary.

MINUTES OF THE AGNES SCOTT

ALUMNAE COUNCIL MEETING,

MAY 24, 1928.

Alumnae House

The meeting was called to order by the
President, Mrs. Guy, who first called on
Miss Hopkins for any report she might
wish to make.

Miss Hopkins beamed with pride as she
told of the many honors that have come to
Agnes Scott during the past year. Our
debating team defeated both the English
team and Vassar team. Two plays written
by Agnes Scott students took prizes for the
best unpublished plays presented in the
Belasco Tournament in New York. Two
Hottentots won first and second places in
the Poetry Contest of the Georgia colleges.
One of the Seniors translated into English
a speech (in French) presented at the
League of Nations. Her translation was
given honorable mention out of 1600 en-
tries. An alumna won a prize of $250 for
the best piece of advertising done by Maier
and Berkele. One of the Freshmen day

students was given a letter of commenda-
tion by the Girl Scouts for outstanding
work in that field.

Miss Hopkins stated that the most press-
ing need of the college at the present is
a change in the water pipes. It is impossi-
ble to get a sufficient supply of water
through the pipes in their present state.

Other items of interest given by Miss
Hopkins are:

A chapter in a National Classical Club
has been secured.

The highest commendation of the Quar-
terly has come both from Agnes Scott
girls and from outsiders.

The college entertained the General As-
sembly Commissioners at the college at a
luncheon.

An amplifier has been installed in the
gymnasium.

After the reading of the minutes of the
former meeting the various chairmen gave
their reports.

Mrs. Harmon The trustees are to be
entertained by Hoasc. Cha Hei Chay is to
graduate this year and will return this
summer to Korea.

Mrs. A. Beall The Atlanta Club has had
a most successful year. They have given
a Bazaar, and rummage sales. They are
still adding to the furnishings of the par-
lor in the Alumnae House.

Miss Phythian The Alumnae House has
been entirely cleaned, woodwork repainted,
walls repapered. The college is freshen-
ing up the college room. A new set of
china for the private dining room has re-
cently been purchased.

Miss Wayt A tea was given on the
birthday of Miss Anna Young. In April, a
tea was given for the Seniors. The dec-
orations at the Trustee Luncheon are in
charge of this committee.

Mrs. Guy Plans are being made for a
drive for $125,000 to erect a chapel in
memorial to Dr. Gaines. Definite plans for
this are up to the new committee.

Miss Lynn Loan fund financial state-
ment:

On hand September, 1928, $49.31.

on hand May, 1928, $550.27.

No loans made this year. Payments have
been made on six different loans. One gift
of $200 from Mrs. Yager. This concluded
the meeting of the council.

Meeting of the Executive Committee

The minutes of the former meeting were
read and approved.

No formal reports except that of the
Treasurer were given.

The treasurer presented the budget for
the next year. It was moved and seconded
that this budget be accepted.

stitution and made many suggestions for
revisions. There was a suggestion that we

'The Whole Town's Talking.' The girls
and boys who were my cast were really re-
markably talented. Why, I am still laugh-
ing over that play after rehearsing it one
hundred and seventy-five thousand times
by actual count! You know they must have
been good. The Agnes Scott Blackfriars
certainly passed up a jewel when they
let me get off the stage after my agoniz-
ing try-out for them will I ever forget
it?"

Mary (Wharton) Breazelle has moved to
Westminster, S. C.

roses and garden flowers for the Entertain-
ment Committee to use in the table
baskets.

Helen (Faw) Mull, Dr. Mull, and their
two sons drove down from Cleveland to
spend a month with Helen's family in
Marietta. The two little Mulls were at
the baby party Friday afternoon of com-
mencement week.

Maud (Foster) Jackson writes from
Baltimore: "We folded our tents rather

suddenly and changed from faculty to gov-
ernment chemist. But since Johns Hop-
kins campus is at my back door and I
have Goucher girls come in to take care of
my son, I feel that I still benefit by some
university atmosphere. Helen (Faw) Mull
writes me that she and her family will be
in evidence at Agnes Scott commencement
this May. I have a vague hope for the
following year myself. Please give Miss
Hopkins and Miss McKinney a special
word of love and remembrance for me."

W. 39th St., Baltimore, Md.

Elizabeth Hoke was in Atlanta in May

The poor alumnae secretary thinks that
she must have a whole column or perhaps
a whole department each Quarterly for er-
rata. In the last Quarterly the statement
was made that Eloise (Knight) Jones
would spend the summer in St. Petersburg,
Fla., where her husband had charge of a
church. After waiting impatiently for
weeks for Eloise to pass through Atlanta
on her way from Richmond, Va., to St.
Petersburg, the secretary learns that this
address was an error; it should have read
Petersburg, Va.

Lucy (Little) Morgan has been visiting
her family in Atlanta during Agnes Scott
commencement.

Josephine (Logan) Hamilton, who has

Appalachia, Va.

Lois McClain, who taught in Birming-
ham, Ala., during this past year, has re-
turned to her home in Jasper, Ga., where
she will work in the Pickens County Bank.

1923 is really so proud of itself and the
hand that it is taking in alumnae affairs
that it must brag a little! At the annual
meeting of the Alumnae Association on
May 26 at the college, Hilda (McConnell)
Adams, '23's life president, was elected
president of the alumnae; Louise (Brown)
Hastings was elected chairman of the
Beautifying Grounds and Buildings Com-
mittee, and Quenelle Harrold chairman of
the Vocational Guidance Committee. No
other class has such a record.

Martha (Mcintosh) Nail accompanied
her husband to Atlanta recently on a busi-
ness trip. It was her first visit to At-
lanta since the 1923 class reunion two
years ago. She spent the day with Eileen
(Dodd) Sams, saw Lucile (Little) Mor-
gan, Mary (Wray) McCash, and she and
Eileen and Eileen's young son braved a
torrent of rain to drive out to Agnes Scott.

Chinese life and landscapes that are most
alluring.

Mr. and Mrs. John Wallace Rustin, of
Washington, D. C, announce the birth of
a daughter on May 26. The little girl has

Stukes, Josephine Havis, Vivian Little,
Mary (Mann) Boon, Cora (Morton) Dur-
rett, Dick Scandrett, Polly Stone, and Au-

gusta Thomas were the only members of
'24 back for commencement this year. '18,
'19, '20, and '27 cavorted over the campus
this vear in a reunion-mood, but next year
when '21, '22, '23, and '24 are slated for
reunions, just watch what a crowd of '24-
ers throng the Alumnae House! All the
classes who were in college when we came
as freshmen will be here, and we have
every intention of being just as numerous
and under-foot as we were back in Sep-
tember, 1920, when an upperclassman re-
marked, "The whole face of the earth
seems to be covered with this new '24
class!"

Janice Brown and Mary Greene have
completed their year's work at Columbia,

like it fine." Speedy's new address is 23
South Blvd., Concourse Apt., Richmond,
Virginia.

Lil (Mc Alpine) Butner encloses a note
with her ballot. "I wish I could drop in
for commencement with you all. The Quar-
terly makes it sound very alluring and I
know from last year just how much fun it
is, but Betsy Jean is only five months old,
and I can scarcely leave her yet, or bring
her with me. She is very fair with big
blue eyes, and she really is the most in-
telligent and adorable baby you ever saw."

Catherine (Nash) Goff is editing the
bulletin of the staff of the library where
she works in Washington, D. C. Virginia
McLaughlin, '20, works in the reference de-
partment of the same library. Catherine
says: "Washington is still as fascinating
as ever, but there is no place like Atlanta,
and never will be." This is the first trus-
tee's luncheon that Catherine has missed
since she became an alumna.

Montine Pharr was married during June
to Mr. Sam D. Harlan, of Greer, S. C.

Whenever you have a luncheon of three
hundred and fifty people to handle, call in
Dick Scandrett. She does most of the work
for the trustees' luncheon to the alumnae
and Seniors on Saturday of commence-
ment, and bobs up smiling after it is all
over! Dick is working again with the
Florida State College Extension depart-
ment this summer, visiting the girls'
camps all over the state.

Melissa Smith was assistant principal of
the Ormand Junior High School at Or-
mand, Fla., this past year. She says that

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

29

she was busier teaching than assisting,
however, for she had six classes. "I am
learning if the pupils are not. Three of
us have a house in Daytona and a 1923
model Ford. The town predicted that we
might get to Bartow in it. We did better
than that. We got it up here and drove it
five thousand miles, when all at once,
just like the famous one-horse shay, the
rear-end fell into pieces. But it is all 1
back together now and going fine."

Polly Stone attended the national con-
vention of alumnae and alumni secretaries
in Minneapolis, Minn., during May. On
the way up she stopped over in Chicago
where she saw Miss Catherine Gault, now
Mrs. Ed Harrison, and met with the Chi-
cago group of alumnae. "Rebecca (Green)
Hinds entertained us at her apartment, the
decorations and refreshments carrying out
the color scheme of Agnes Scott, purple
and white. Martha Stansfield, '21, May
(Smith) Parsons, '17, Martha (Eakes)
Matthews, '24, Mary Ferguson, '27, Charis
(Hood) Barwick, '16, Martha (Brenner)
Shyrock, '15, Blanche (Ryan) Brim, ex
'22, were all there." Coming home, she
spent a day with Miss Howson and
Philippa Gilchrist at the University of
Wisconsin, and met Martha (Eakes)
Matthews and her husband in Chicago be-
tween trains. "As to plans for the summer,
just more work! I'm to be at Agnes Scott
working in Dr. McCain's office all sum-
mer with the exception of a two weeks'
trip to New York. Miss MacDougall has
asked me to drive up with her in her
new car, and then I'm to meet my brother
there and come home with him by boat to
Savannah." Polly asks that any Agnes
Scott girls coming through Atlanta this
summer call her up or come by the college
to see her.

Annie Wilson Terry has just completed
a very successful year as English teacher
at Lanier High School in Montgomery,
Ala. She writes: "I have no exciting plans
for the summer. In this respect I am like
Mr. Micawber waiting for something to
turn up!"

Augusta Thomas and Quenelle Harrold,
'23, reserved a room together at the
Alumnae House during commencement.
Augusta will spend July and August at
camp in New England.

Clara Waldrop did such excellent work
in the High School in Newnan, Ga., that
she has been elected assistant principal for
next year.

Helen Wright had a visit from Helena
Hermance and Lib Lilly during April.
"They left Chapel Hill in Helena's car, ac-
companied by Mrs. Hermance, for a trip to
Magnolia Gardens at Charleston. It was
grand to see them again. We went to see
Elizabeth Douglas, and the four of us had

quite a 'talk fete.' Helena is busy trying
to get her thesis written. Lib will finish
her work this year, but not her thesis.
Imagine my surprise the other day when I
ran into Helen Lane Comfort in one of
the stores here. She was just passing
through Columbia on her way back to
Clinton from a library convention. She
likes her work at Presbyterian College
very much, but has decided to travel
abroad next year instead of working. It
was mighty good to see her again, and
Agnes Scott was again the center of con-
versation. As for myself, I am as busy as
can be coaching the Senior play, going to
the University, and incidentally teaching
school."

1925

A guest at Margaret (Ladd) May's wed-
ding writes: "It was a very lovely affair.

before anyone missed them. It sounds just
like Margaret, doesn't it?"

Mary Ann Mc Kinney writes that she has
invested in a Victory Six Club Coupe. "I'd
like to drive the cute thing over to com-
mencement, but our commencement here

away. Uncle Frank and I are traveling to-
gether again this summer."

Theta Manly went to New York and
Montreal with the Georgia Press Associa-
tion in May, going both ways by boat from
Savannah, and incurring the hatred of all
the women in the party going up by being
the only woman who wasn't seasick. Theta
met Jimmie Walker and all the dignitaries,
rode up Fifth Avenue at forty miles an
hour with an escort of police (just like
Lindbergh!), and painted the town red
generally. Theta introduced the reunion
classes at the trustees' luncheon at Agnes
Scott.

Isabelle Clarke represented Atlanta Girl
Scout leaders at the southern states con-
vention of the Girl Scouts, held in Winston-
Salem the last of April.

Edythe Coleman continues to assist the
Atlanta debutantes to get married. We
wonder what the penalty is for "twelve
times a bridesmaid?"

carried to New York by the Blackfriars

sonal applause. Louisa attended Agnes

After the excitement and crowds of commencement week, the
campus seems now very quiet and deserted. In looking over the old
annuals, we find this in the '24 book:

"When June days come to Georgia

I see my daughters leave,
And through the three long summer months

My lonely towers grieve.
But soon the great oaks scatter

Their scarlet leaves o'er Main,
The gates are wide, when autumn comes,

To Welcome you again!"
